At my last company, we had to go into the office once per week. The hellacious commute aside (I would arrive somewhere around 10:00, and leave somewhere around 15:00 to avoid rush hour - subtract lunch, and that’s not a lot of work getting done), it was just full of distractions. I don’t want to take regular breaks to go shoot the shit, or to go have a beer after lunch. I want to get work done, and I do that best with headphones on and not being bothered.
> True, but only one of these parties ever talks about fixing the system. To be fair, of course, that's partially because the data says they'd win almost every election if it came down to a straight popular vote, so any system not specifically gamed against them is in their favor.

Democrats in New York produced a map so gerrymandered, it would have counterbalanced Republican gerrymandering elsewhere, but it was struck down by the courts:

I'm not sure I understand. The former 'int main(){S s;}' is just calling the default constructor which doesn't throw.

Only the latter 'int main(){S s(42);}' throws, and it will never call the destructor.

Or maybe I've misunderstood? Perhaps modify the code example I linked to on godbolt to show what you mean?
Why does Google and Facebook cost $0 USD per month?
I recently joined a team that meets in the office once per week on Wednesday. It was nice to go in for the novelty, my office is very nice so it was kind of like going to an expensive hotel for a day. I didn’t feel any less or more productive though. It was good to overhear the insanity of very very junior people and be able to correct them before they try to type it out however.
Any computer could make a phone call; having a handler in place for "tel:" is certainly the first step (but not even really necessary!) No amount of probing whether this is a mobile device, or has a SIM card, or has properties of Android or whatever, is going to generously include all devices that are capable of placing PSTN calls.

I mean, yeah, check and see whether it has a microphone and audio output - that's fairly mandatory for telephony operations. Other than that... dunno.

Hello internet explorer, active desktop etc... We are going full circle there.
People seem to be confusing clinical with academic psychology. While the former uses a lot of the more well-established concepts(like conditioning) from the latter, it's very much its own discipline, and it actually has much more rigorous research methods than academic psychology because treatments are subject to regulatory approval.

I can speak from a lot of experience when I say I would trust a clinical psychologist over a psychiatrist any day of the week. Psychiatrists are just doctors who learn to prescribe medication based on a simple set of rules and psychometry. There are psychiatrists who take their field very seriously, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

That sounds a bit like "I don't want to adapt to this new work environment, please everyone, back to working like it works for me."
Which are entirely troll arguments. Chernobyl is the worst case scenario imaginable and not possible with any Western designed reactor. Fukushima killed zero people for all practical purposes. Not to mention the lack of earthquakes in Germany. Adopting nuclear is an extremely safe solution for Germany.

Diogenes also disliked the artificial and believed humans would do well to return to nature. A car is a key to straddle existing in the practicalities of the unavoidable modern day artificial, while also being able to get a taste of what is real once in a while by visiting maybe a forest/mountain/lake etc. Ironically, it seems he has severed his ability to achieve that trapping himself in the artificial.
Given bus service where I am, my commute would go from 10 minutes one-way to literally 2 hours.

Fingerprint scanners are a lot better than they used to be (back when they could be beaten by a gummy bear), but what about a picture of your face?

Biometrics should be thought of as passwords that can't be changed. Use them for convenience, not security.
Reading through the list of concessions and explanations attributed to Steve Huffman that Reddit is currently sending to subreddit moderators, I saw a couple of things that struck as almost certainly untrue or at least exaggerated.

I don't think Reddit is approaching this in good faith.
So where is it? Make us aware of it. Give us volumes and prices. And stop saying "troll argument", that's not an argument.
This is how most of my conversations with “ideological cyclists” (for lack of a better term) tend to go. I’m very supportive of cycling, but if you aren’t healthy or if you have kids giving up your car is enormously inconvenient. Yes, you can teach your kids to ride, but cycling is still much more dangerous than driving. Yes, you can rent a car or get an uber as needed, but it’s far more convenient to just jump in one’s own car. Yes, you can prepare for really cold or precipitous weather to a degree, but it’s way more convenient to simply not have to monitor the weather all the time and tote around your extra cycling clothes. And there’s really nothing you can do about hot weather unless your destination has a shower or you can otherwise make do with being sweaty.

When you add up all of these decently-sized inconveniences, it just doesn’t make sense to do away with your car except perhaps in certain ideal situations (healthy, no kids, urban/great public transit, close to work, not traveling out of the area to visit family often, etc). The best I can realistically do is family car + bike.

EDIT: I'm getting throttled; can't respond to any more comments for a few hours.
I think it's just because that's their "app" login page, where you already know what it does and you already have an account. When I go to login to AWS or Datadog or whatever, the login page doesn't tell me what it does, either.

Like you, though, I've also had "personal CRM" as a potential project for a very long time. Monica is a great step in that direction, and I've happily used it for many years, but it's not all the way there, and I still hope to one day have the resources and time to actually build something truly great.

I see a distinction between mapping a name more or less faithfully to the sounds and spelling of a language and coming up with a completely different name. For example Brazil in English is not the same as Brasil but is fairly close and fits the language. Whereas IDK where Germany came from.
> As for myself, I do prefer the adhoc discussion of issues, brain storming and silly what-ifs during coffee breaks et cetera. I'm much more in the zone in this environment.

Sounds like slacking off to me.
They don't need to call Elon, there are plenty of far-right radical incubator subreddits they could ask for assistance that would give them the same advice.
It's more amazing when seasoned devs do it all the time with their IDE plugins (VSC, etc) and it raises zero eyebrows.
> the ease of just walking over to someone to ask a question

This is an anti feature of offices.

Usually that brief interruption costs about an hours productivity for anyone doing stuff like programming, etc, due to the massively high cost of context switching.

It could have been an email/IM.

> training is AWFUL remote.

This implies that the training is lacking anyway, in most cases.

My beef is more that Apollo is an all-time great iOS app. It’s a perfect execution of Apple’s design language and it lets me experience Reddit the way I want to.
It seems obvious that efforts to hire specific types of people could result in lazy hiring managers looking to check off a box as fast as possible which leads to someone being hired because they are named Jessica not because they are especially good a React.
"an effort to keep Russian energy flowing to developing nations" yea yea of course they do it for the developing nations
You are to quick to blame bad actors. I don't think that the typical student or professor has so much evil intention for negligence and fraud.

These are examples of a 'new' science. Humans are complex and hard to measure, so yes, there are problems with study design, and re-producibility. Because they are working it out. That is because of the field of study, not evil intent, some dark cabal of researchers putting out false data on purpose. If there is some obvious way to solve these problems, then those people should do it.

I was going to throw out some sarcastic example from another field. But guess, when I think about it, maybe it does happen. String Theory in Physics is an example of "group think" leading an entire field down the wrong rabbit hole of stuff that is faulty and can't be measured. So guess it can happen anywhere.
Again, you are simply unaware of what is happening. It is very similar to how anti-solar analysts simply failed to recognize the widespread deployment of PV panels around a decade ago.
It's even worse than that: Some jurisdictions (including California IIRC) allow involuntary psychiatric holds based on the assessment of people (like law enforcement officers) who have no psychological qualifications whatsoever.

This is without a doubt one of the worst and most normalized human rights violations happening in the world today, and the scale and impact of it is hard to imagine.
None of this has anything to do with the difference between a unviable birth and an infant.

Indeed. I was simply asking whether the macros used for programming Guix are lazy, how is that baffling?

Astrophysics and stale beer: What life is like working at the South Pole
It's strange (and also independent if real or virtual), but for me the worst ideas actually came out of those meetings where people "needed to brainstorm to come up with solution" - and usually also endless technical debt. The best when skilled people have enough time (!!) to think stuff through, mostly alone or small 2-3 ppl team, draft something up, and again others can have time to think this through and thoroughly review.
Not that the other thing also sometimes happens, but majority not. Different problem domain, skills? (But anyway, totally independent if virtual or not..)

The fatality rate for cycling in an urban area is much higher than that of driving. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with a young child on a bike.
Psychology has no "because it is still new" excuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_psychology

Electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear physics, and many other difficult fields of study are far, far newer than psychology. And yet have no problems with reliably producing significant, real-world results.
5 miles a day is only 1,825 miles/year. Currently the average miles driven per year is 13,500. So use realistic numbers.
It does seem like mismanagement to me. Certainly there are some exceptions, but relying on layoffs to manage costs isn't free and depending on how it's done just violates the "treat people they way you would want to be treated" principal. That's not free, enough of it changes culture, and workers will adjust how they behave in a cut-throat environment. It will cost companies eventually in various dings to productivity.

I don't know about HashiCorp in particular, but usually, there's enough metrics for a company to see that they are headed into an overstaffing situation and work to correct that without layoffs. A true hiring freeze combined with natural attrition rates goes a long way. It varies, but a 5-15% for attrition is pretty common. And you can offer incentives for early departure to bump that up.

Also, depending on industry, there are other levers to reduce cost or boost margins that you could pull before resorting to layoffs. Including both labor and non-labor levers. Layoffs often feel like the lazy path.
Yeah, it could probably be made playable. :)
One thing that's often overlooked with Nix (the language) is that it does not let you define new data types. For example, there's no "package" type in Nix and Nixpkgs; instead there are only functions that are passed "attribute sets" (key/value dictionaries).

That Nix can't tell what's a package and what's not is a hindrance for its user interface (e.g., it's hard to look up packages by name/version or to iterate over them) and for packagers (e.g., easy to end up with package definitions that don't follow the informal "schema").

I'm not sure I understand the "why" here though. Why should you get more of a say because you want something different than the majority?

Why should the majority be beholden to the political view of the minority because of the geographic distribution of the minority?
> It sounds to me like passkeys are a simpler and more secure approach that apply within the existing context that requires unique complex passwords for every account.

It does not to me. It requires complicated cryptography/tools. Passwords are just directly usable information that are much easier to reason about and work with. I can ask a question about passwords and I can figure out the answer or soltuion for myself without looking up any standards, implementation details of someone elses software or wading through heaps of marketing bullshit.

Say I just want to temporarily share access to an account with someone? How? I know how with passwords. Give it out, change it later to revoke access.

Say I want to export access to just select few accounts (and not the rest) I'll be needing when doing X away from my devices to limit the possiblility of forced compromise. I know how with passwords.

How does backup and recovery work? Can I do it fully offline without invloving any third parties? Will I need anything other than a piece of paper? I know with passwords without looking anything up.

If it's anything, it's not simple compared to passwords. It may be better in a few aspects (or not) but it certainly is not simpler to think about.

The difference between password manager with unique passwords per account and this complicated crypto-thing seems very miniscule. You're either sharing a shared secret or you're proving a possession of a unique secret key per service.

The only difference is how things need to be handled if the service itself is hacked. If it only stores pubkeys, the user's secret keys can still be used for authentication. The problem with this thinking is that attacker may have swapped user's key on the server with his own, hijacking the account anyway. In any case this doesn't lead to compromise of any other services used by the user.

Also, FIDO2 can be used to force you to have to use a device you don't trully own for authentication, taking away your software freedom. Passwords can't be abused like this.
Status on IM platform set to busy, notifications suppressed unless from a select group (direct manager, etc).

So uh no. Can’t jump on a zoom real quick, I’m doing work.
In the last years plenty of online accounts started praising nuclear. Now that renewables are much cheaper and nuclear became more expensive.

Such pointless debate only benefits the fossil fuel industry.

Given how much of the conversation is manipulated by bots and paid influencers... this is really suspicious.
When you are pushing air, you are building a high pressure zone.
When you are pulling, you make a low pressure zone.

As the pressure in front of the fan builds up, it starts to push back against the blades of the fan until it reaches an equilibrium.

No, what I meant is that Telegram doesn't have E2EE in groups or channels. Never has, and probably never will.
Not for long, since EU is mandating sideloading most games will bypass security checks on mobile too.
That's a good point. If they're trying to trademark the name, that sounds like it'd raise some ethical issues. :)
The trouble with that is every website will set the flag so they try and grab some nice traffic generating (they hope) screen real estate. So less savvy users will get a bad user experience with a home screen / dock full of spam sites because they always hit yes and tech savvy users will just turn off the banner as every site spams them with it. Plus, we already have enough spam interactions before you can actually use websites with stuff like notification enabling prompts, newsletter signups, chatbots and cookie stuff. No more please...
String Theory is a joke.
“Nope.”
With something like Ethereum, you can build refunds into your payment model as long as you and the merchant agree on a set of trusted 3rd parties who can handle any disputes. You can choose different trusted mediators for each transaction and can decide the rules (ex: how many of them are needed to decide that a refund has to happen).

You can also choose not to trust any 3rd party. If I'm buying an on-chain digital item, I probably don't need to support disputes, but if I'm buying something off-chain and don't trust the merchant, I might want that protection.
Yes. RedditForBlind, Dystopia, and RedReader isn't really for accessibility but is the most accessible on Android, oh and Luna for Reddit.

>>So, how do you reset your password when you forget it? Well, it depends.

But I don't! I can write a password in any amount of low and high tech ways! I have them printed on paper in safe deposit box (my wife is bad with passwords, so this is safety if I should perish:), I have them in a password manager on USB sticks at home in a safe, I have them copied on my NAS and laptop and so on.

Whereas passkeys, it seems from everywhere I read to be far more fragile, far more locked in to specific perishable hardware device and a specific vendor ecosystem, and very limited or no ways to handle passkeys in a low tech way or as a file/artifact to be backed up. Basically they assume I live on and with my phone.

To put it bluntly:

Passwords are something I can use if I show up naked at a stranger's house. They can be with me in and through an emergency (physical emergencies exist! Computer geeks forget about those!). Or more commonly, I can use them to check my email or comms if I forget my phone at a friend's house.

Passkeys are... strictly worse?
Sorry, I really don't follow. The claim by GP was:

> Nuclear is an ideal green solution for the fossil fuel industry. Why? Well, building a power station is super hard because: it's expensive, takes years and no one wants a power station in their backyard.

This is not the case for renewables. How does pointing to what fossil fuel companies are investing in change that? Shell investing in solar means that suddenly I can't cheaply install solar in my backyard?
"No this is a feature you see, that way people will have to come up with creative names" (that have nothing to do with its task and that nobody can remember, oc) was the standard reply I got when I said as much.

They should have just copied the Maven Central mode of operation, it has matured over many years and works well, without any drama such as NPM is infamous for.
There's some rules one can add when working in a remote setting to address these sorts of issues, for example set a time limit for when an Engineer needs to engage with their team and ask a question, 30 mins/1 hour/2 hours (depending on your culture and allowance for investigation) max. This ensures they're not spinning their wheels and allows them time to investigate/learn while ensuring they reach out to their team and share the situation to get the necessary feedback/discussions to move forward. This has the additional benefit of not having every minor issue be answered by colleagues, increasing the amount of learning and work of the individual Engineer versus offloading to their peers unnecessarily.

I love RPN for calculating - I still regularly use a HP11C (Swiss Micros replica).

But I hate coding or reading prefix (list) or postfix (rpn, forth, etc) languages. Once wrote a substantial project is Postscript - works fine but note easy on the brain.

Guess it comes from just too much familiarity with infix notation!
If I use new reddit on mobile or iPad, the whole thing just crashes fairly quickly. It’s the only site that does that.

Without old.reddit I actually cannot use the site unless I confine it to a desktop perhaps.
...or you can move yourself. With a big desktop setups perhaps not as much, but grab your laptop and head out someplace else. library? coffee shop? wherever. Working 'remote' I have options as to where to go to get privacy/focus. When I worked in office spaces, there were almost always some distractions that were hard to get away from (either logistically or socially).
For the 50-mile commute, my fitness would be amazing.

Moving closer would be maybe 30k in up front taxes and expenses and it's a HCoL area, so, now, it's probably at least another 100k in mortgage interest, even if I hammer the repayments at double my current monthly outgoings.

The train also takes 2 hours each way, plus 20 minutes walking.
So when is Ross, Joey and Phoebe?

Cautious.

Chrome often adds features that are used to track you or have a negative impact on performance and battery life.
This entire article is total bullshit, and could easily qualify as propaganda. The fact is that everything has gotten far more expensive, not cheaper. 30-40 years ago people used incandescent lights everywhere, AC transformers with pitiful efficiency and gas-guzzling V8s and nobody had to weep over their energy bill. Electricity and fuel has become staggeringly more expensive. It's only due to technological advances and higher efficiency that we can still somewhat afford that stuff at all.
