That's an overly reductive definition. Alistair Campbell defines it to include a deliberate turning "the people" against "the elites" and to exploit the ensuing discord.

It's an important part that this isn't a genuine concern, it's 100% manufactured by the populist for their own benefit. Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, two populists, are both very much part of the "elite" they claim to rage against.

It's also important that this is done specifically to cause social problems they can exploit. They have no intention of actually fixing the problem they "identify" and will continue to blame new "elite" groups to obtain or maintain power.
This entire article is weak on the work-from-office advantages. While they claim that some companies have "run the numbers," unfortunately no factual data from this number running has made it into the article.
Seems like these companies are banking on a recession to impact the job market and reduce labour bargaining power, thereby freeing them to change the WFH situation without significant attrition.

It'll be interesting to see who ends up being right.
The label is in itself mildly interesting, because if looked at from a different perspective, then populist simply means democratic ( popular, because that is what people want ). Amusingly, it is not that dissimilar to how liberal works ( in itself, the word is not 'bad', but it was made 'bad' ).

As a business it seems smarter to grow the pie and increase your revenues even if Tesla's marketshare decreases.

Even through the lens of hating Elon Musk and wanting alternatives, most people have no strong feelings at all. Price and availability largely dictates what Tesla will sell. I have not seen any data Elon's antics change sales volumes.

That's a really good question. I'm probably not thinking of it the right way but I tend to lump together individual, private industry and governmental destruction of public property. I would start by looking at vandalism and property crime numbers, the difference in maintenance between US section 8 landlords and European social housing management. Another indicator could be how well we maintain roads and other infrastructure.

One difference I really notice between Scandinavians and Americans on the issue of public infrastructure is they tend to be more willing to pay higher taxes because they clearly understand the benefit they get. Just on roadways, I don't remember any potholes as we drove some 4000 km on our trip. We saw a handful graffiti tagging (only in Helsinki). We stayed in a hostel that I believe also doubled as social housing and it was clean, kept in good repair. the people were polite and the usual Scandinavian reserved. Don't get me started on the difference between US (Third World light) and European airports.
I assume the next jump in power will come from voltage. A Model 3 pulls ~600A when charging at 250kW, because it's relatively low voltage. If they alter the charging design to accept 800 or 1000V we could see over half a MW without a change in cable design. But I'd guess at this point that would be moot because the cell charging rate is the real limit anyway.
Bangalore does this and more. We pump our sewage, after secondary treatment, to nearby towns' lakes which are parched. Farmers, in that region, love this water as it is full of organic material which is great for farming. LOL! Of course, there can be issues like heavy metals etc which we do not care about at all!

I think this is slower companies being late to the party. It's possible that people will hold some BTC or ETH in their accounts as a hedge like silver or REITs. But I think the busy trading that is really profitable for exchanges was driven by the alt coins, pump and dumps, wash trades, and all the things regulated exchanges can't really do. I think it will make crypto boring, but not in a bad way.

Since quitting caffeine and alcohol, I rarely get lonely. In fact, quitting those drugs seems to have helped reduce the time I spend in any negative emotion. I still have acute bouts of [whatever negative emotion here], but I rarely get mired in them. This seems to have less to do with any change in my living situation since the switch (I often hermit away, as I did before) and more to do with being in a more resourceful state more often (which neither drug helped with).

I suspect that alcohol and caffeine-induced negative emotion is widespread. Even a glass or two of alcohol can affect your sleep, and less REM sleep means less emotional regulation. I know basically everyone's on caffeine, but ingesting that can accentuate the peaks and valleys of one's emotional experience. The alcohol and caffeine-induced troughs may be sub-clinical, but they're probably real for a lot of people.
Gnome is a pain and lxde has it's faults. But both launch consistently. Both log usable messages somewhere into /var/log. Both have consistent behavior across releases. I make extensive use of the "Always on Visible Workspace" feature. It has been part of Gnome for... at least 10 years. And cde and lxde for 20 years. On the Mac it appears to now be completely gone. The previous rev of the OS it was there. The rev before that it would only work on Apple monitors. A couple revs before that it worked and before that there was a rev where it would only work on the laptop screen (not external monitors.)

I believe I place a higher premium on consistency across releases than you do. I also believe the user should be telling the computer what to do rather than apple telling me they want to change the way I work. But we're all different in that regard.
Heyya! Close customer here.

Is this behaviour new? Or is it that alembic still doesn't pick up changes to the enum to recreate the constraint? We implemented our own alembic hooks to automate the migrations for us. We've found the check constraint model to be fairly effective.

Pre-911, I developed the habit of not having checked bags in order to reduce the risk of my bags getting lost. Instead, I started just sending my luggage ahead to my destination using commercial parcel carriers.

Post-911, I maintain this habit, but the main benefit is avoiding the risk of theft or damage from having people paw through my bags.

So curious as to why this got downvoted -- it feels exactly right.
> Information is rarely that complex.

Information is always that complex. "Intelligence" is a bunch of rumors and innuendo that get mushed together into an analyst's report.

Even when you have what you believe to be incontrovertible evidence, because this is spy shit you have the possibility of a foreign intelligence service finding your hidden camera and using it to feed you whatever they like. And the fewer eyes you have on it, the less likely you are to discover the inconsistency with reality.

- Encourages less communication on team

- Harder to join team for new members

- Harder to learn field for novices

- Lack of unit cohesion through informal interactions

- Lack of access to equipment and tools necessary to complete job effectively

- Lower social interaction

- Risk of underworking

- Risk of overworking

- Unending distractions

The list goes on...

The interactions that take place when humans are next to one another is irreplaceable by current technology. Actual bandwidth to exchange ideas is lower.

I know this is going to bring a lot of bitter downvotes, and I accept that, but the reality is WFH failed as a universal, "Everyone can do this." idea. The upsides are all for the employees, and the downsides are all shouldered by the employer, the one with the money, the one who creates and justifies the job, so it is ending for most. Not everyone! But most.

Specific to your team, I do think it can work remotely, and have run remote engineering teams. But (and this is a big but) it requires a specific personality for everyone on the team, and you must do a lot to make up for the loss of in person interactions, and I can totally understand orgs who either a) don't think they have teams with the right dispositions to handle it or b) don't think they'll be able to successfully execute on all of the many extra work involved in recreating some of the missing aspects of WFH teams.

Do you have conflicts? If so, how do they get resolved? Maybe it all works, but if any real problem shows up, I've found creating safety is a lot more difficult remotely. WFH can breed all of the nasty "snake pit" attitudes and behaviors a lot more easily when everyone (or even someone) is remote and therefore less interconnected.
Building a classifier in 2023 using OpenAI's new function calling API
That’s true. That’s why I literally just quit my senior technical leadership megacorp job that was now requiring me to come in 5 days a week even though I work with no one locally. So, I found a job that paid better and was more interesting and was willing to value my abilities over control of my corporeal being. The attitude that money can buy everything will lead these companies to be structurally uncompetitive.

I see the folks who seem to revel in these policies around me, they are precisely the people who go to work to act on a stage. I’m here to build things the world has never seen and make it a commercial success. I guess you get what you pay for with your carrots?

As a counterpoint I am clinically depressed, attempted suicide when I was in HS, and am generally a sad bop taken human form. At the time I still hadn't figured out the whole socializing thing and was lonely AF going off to college with no friends no support network. I joined one of those groups after running into them a bunch. While I was a member (and eventually officer) we were voted "best student org" so somebody clearly liked us.

The majority of our group was definitely in the camp of "I want to give to other people the help I needed." We ran a stupid amount of events -- everything form mental health counseling with the campus counseling services people, collabs with a queer healthcare providers, open dinners with free catered food, cooking classes, open parties on weekends which alternated between dry/not-dry, sponsored (like one of their friends would contact us) dorm cleaning/decorating to deal with depression tornadoes, open study sessions during exam season, we had "rent-a-spotter" (obviously actually free) in the gym for people who didn't anyone to go with, a few of the guys were in the campus runners club so they did open morning jogs, holiday parties for people who couldn't or ya know couldn't go home, and yes standing in the quad with signs giving out high fives and hugs.
As much a really don't like Google, I'm afraid newspapers are losing traffic and thus revenue from their own mistakes. Example here: We're all using HN to learn about this article. If I go to the front page of USA TODAY, I'm show a buntch of useless articles and news that are irrelevant to me. That's the only wining strategty: Google uses algorithms to optimize user experency, legacy newspapers still belive that they are the ones that will dictactate what you'll read or not.
I disagree, most people have no idea how to deal with a depressed person and the need for a therapist does not necessarily mean a lack of friends. I go to the dentist to fix my teeth and that doesn't mean my friends aren't supportive.

I'd say "go talk to a professional" is more or less the only useful advice one can give there.

> Idiomatic Go says leave it to the caller. Like above, when only wants to know if there is "file or no file" without concern for why there is no file, then:

>

file, _ := getFile() // The second return argument is an error.
if file == nil {
fileUnavailable()
}

That very often doesn't work in Go. Most functions which return errors offer no guarantee whatsoever about the return value if there is an error. No one would consider it a breaking change to modify the return in case of error. And many functions return a struct, where Go offers no way to compare two arbitrary struct values for equality, or to check if an arbitrary struct value is that struct's "zero value".

So no, Go does not recommend (or even endorse) this pattern.
> they usually drag everybody down

This is weirdly concerned with other people in the context of mental health advice for someone. "You're a bummer, go hide in a forest so we don't have to see you."
From my point of view, he's right. Virtual meetings with more than 3 participants make back-and-forth discussions very hard. Interruptions aren't always negative - they're part of a natural conversation. In a situation where I'm talking, often an interruption will be to ask for clarification, or more information, and it'll come just as I start to move on to something else. The latency and awkwardness of video calls makes that hard to do. As a result, people talk more continuously and those little questions/requests for clarification don't ever get said.

Sure, there's people who feel it's their right to interrupt your thoughts. There's also people who feel it's their right to talk at everyone without stopping. Healthy conversation is a balancing act, and it's hard to get right in a group situation over video.

You can, of course, find ways round this. One on one calls, with shared screens, are often more productive if you're remote. Maybe large meetings are ultimately a bit pointless anyway?
This sounds like a problem you encountered in like 2006 and have harbored it ever since.
I think you may have led me astray with that first comment, and that my intuition was probably correct. How exactly does one purge the ballast tank with the air tank? Would you not actually need an air tank that has (at least) double the pressure of the outside water? Then to clear the ballast tank you would open the air tank, the higher pressure air would then force out the lower pressure water (this is clearly why it can't be the same pressure as implied in your first comment), and then when you're done you have two tanks (your air and ballast tanks) both at 380 bar, assuming they are both the same volume.

In that case you'd actually need a PV rated for 740 bar, which seems outside our current materials science abilities. In fact (and I'm still mostly just spitballing here, not actually doing any math), I assume you actually need a purge tank with a pressure much greater than 2x, otherwise you're just cancelling out your ballast with your air tank, right?

That would track with using this system in submersibles that are operating at ~300m and not for things like this which are trying to operate at 4000m. At 300m you could have a 400 bar COPV for emergency purging that is only 7.5% the size of the ballast tanks, which sounds practical.
I'm happy to consider a non-Tesla (mostly because I'd really prefer a more traditional gauge cluster and more physical controls), but have struggled to find anything that beats the price for performance of the Model 3 Performance. And yes, I realize I'm a niche buyer.
> doing something to make yourself feel better at the expense of the others you're claiming to help

There has to be some name for this phenomenon in psychology.

> It's easy to imagine everyone is 'always loved' if you grew up in a stable, supportive family in a safe neighbourhood, but that is not the experience for everyone.

Maybe there is a cycle with families similar to the idea that good times create weak people which create hard times which create strong people who create good times.

A loving family creates people who only know love and don't understand disfunction of a family, who then create disfunctional families by not knowing how to avoid the pitfalls, which then creates people who have to struggle out of disfunction who then know how to create a loving family by avoiding the pitfalls of disfunction.

As another "fan" of Caesar, I agree with this take. There's much to be appreciated about Caesar when looking at his strategies, tactics, politicking, etc. He was absolutely brilliant. But that was all born on the backs of using and abusing people (sometimes Roman, sometimes the people Romans conquered). This isn't unique to him and is just emblematic of Rome at the time, and its attitude towards itself, towards conquering, and towards non-Romans. To appreciate Caesar requires a certain amount of separating the artist from the art, and knowing that the good he did was more a means to and end rather than an end in-and-of itself.
