> if you spend more than ~4 developer hours per month documenting/explaining/analyzing your architecture, then you've saving money with their product.

Except this is a false equivalence.

Not once have I documented something I was part of creating, in sufficient detail to explain it completely, without uncovering bugs/inconsistencies/oversights that otherwise would likely go unnoticed. Furthermore the practice refreshes the mental model in the minds of those documenting/explaining/analyzing, which otherwise atrophies and becomes out of sync with reality through the work of others.
Wrong about what? The claim im familiar with is that there is systemic risk. That hasn’t been disproven.
Hollywood should've just gotten actors to use Zoom for a few weeks worth of meetings, so they can buy the perpetual likeness of their voice and faces.

This is way too broad and especially the sublicense clause is going to make me reject meeting requests that contain a Zoom link from now on.
The worry is that internal conflict will lead to external wars as a distraction of the populace.
Ummm...a year is longer than 2 x 181 days...so what is being robbed exactly?
It's just Dreamlight Valley.
You are not wrong. I had many ideas, but I've been working too much (excuse, yeah) since then to do you things you suggested.

I know the danger of building on another's platform. But it still sucks.
For those reading who may be unfamiliar, "gangsta rap/drill music" is a common conspiracy-theory shibboleth. Has been for the last ten (drill) to thirty (rap) years.

Between that and the water-carrying for anti-trans bigots, this has no place here.
Fan of the series and general “infinity engine” era, but was somewhat “worried” it would be less fun than Larian’s last great game (Divinity Original Sin 2).

I was glad to learn it’s likely as silly (good!) and enjoyed dipping into twitch to get a feel on the pen & paper turned "cyber" D&D party play.

It really looks like great fun, wish I had the time / friends in sync / on same platform. Eventually the bespoke Apple silicon version should work cross play with Windows / Linux but console friends apparently won’t get included.

My point is that it doesn't matter if it's a profit or a small loss, because people think companies were simply given billions of dollars of free money. The fact that the US government was close to or did break even from bailouts dispels this notion. So there is no socialization of loss while keeping profits private, as the companies had to pay out what they took.

OpenSPARC? OpenPOWER? There are plenty of solid open ISAs for anyone who wants to do that.
God the heat and cold sensitivities from that crank’s fillings bugged me for ten years before they settled down.
Rule of thumb from my anecdotal experience: If the dentist's office looks all fancy and feng-shui, they're usually the kind that does pointless work (which is where the money for the fancy office comes from). You can't turn this around and say that any dentist with a humble office will be honest and only do what's necessary, but the likelihood is higher.
> How do we effectively give that minority what they want without forcing it on the majority

You don’t have to. Somebody at the company (owner, board, leadership team, etc.) decides if they want to be remote, on-site, or hybrid. Then leave it up to everyone who works there to make a decision about whether that’s something they can live with.
I'm the Jeremy Vaught this happened to. I just noticed this was here. Reading thread now...
Similarly, I have yet to see anything that indicates hybrid or in-person work makes knowledge workers more productive.

The article talks about this - about how the US benefits from being the "Team Captain" of this coalition. The US generally gets what it wants, or at least gets preferential treatment. The article talks about the fact that most of the institutions in the coalition (e.g. IMF, NATO) were created by the US and slanted towards the priorities of the US.

The article also doesn't claim that the US isn't using it's influence (media, financial, military) to enforce its hegemony. It argues that these actions are actually detrimental to continuing US hegemony, and that the real reason this "coalition" hangs together is because all the members have a common interest in maintaining the status quo. The article talks about the fact that if the US were to press too hard on it's hegemony, the other members of the coalition would turn against it and choose a new "team captain". The article completely acknowledges the fact that most of the members aren't huge fans of the US, for example they don't participate in the russia sanctions, but it points out that they also aren't trying to bust the sanctions. If all these other countries were trying to get out from under the thumb of the US, you'd see them taking this opportunity to align with russia and china to form a "containment coalition", but this hasn't happened (yet)

> but it's not useful in practical applications

I mean, it drives all of Whatsapp, Discord, and once upon a time, Facebook Messenger, but it's certainly not "useful"!!

Your claim is as ludicrous as ludicrous can be. About the only thing it's not (yet) good for is 3D game dev, but Rust (which is not purely functional but which has lots of opt-in functional concepts) is making good headway
I've never used one for its intended purpose, but my wife has one. I recently had some food stuck in my gums behind my back tooth, and it got infected. I was able to use the waterpik to remove the food when I wasn't able to get into a dentist for a cleaning right away, and by the time I got the cleaning, between the waterpik and the anti-viral medicine the dentist prescribed, the infection was gone. Having it around saved me quite a bit of pain over a few days.

But I still haven't actually used it for cleaning what it's supposed to. :D

People often forget an important part of investing into trains instead of cars: It makes it so the people who don't want to drive don't have to. And since the people who just drive because they have to are usually not the best drivers, that would make travelling a much more pleasant experience.

It's a good thing even for the people who love cars.
The way I see it, using those machines is labor that people usually get paid for. I don't want to do that labor for free. Furthermore, the professional cashiers are faster at it than the general public. They make fewer errors and are empowered to correct more errors themselves instead of waiting for somebody else to walk over and clear the error. Furthermore, checkout and bagging can be done in parallel which is faster than doing both yourself.

The only upside to self-checkout is lower labor expenses for the store. That turns into profit for the shareholders, not savings for the customers, so I don't care about that. And I guess maybe some people don't like the social interaction implied by human cashiers, but if you're not in the mood for that you can just keep your eyes down and grunt or something. Cashiers are used to people who don't want small-talk, they can generally take a hint.
This assumes that RTO strictly only affects one's own productivity, but it's really the network effects that matter, so some Happy Hermit may be perfectly productive on their own objectives when exclusively working from home, but may be reducing other people's productivity through their absence.
I am confident this is the case.

there is some vp of the search in goodle, and he has bunch of metrics on his screen, some go down and some go up, and he obviously will chose those metrics which looks favorable to report to upper level, and then promote people who did "great" job of achieving those metrics, and fund and expand their projects.
Very well put. This is the clearest way of looking at it in my view.

I’ll pile on to say that you also have the variable of how the non-scientist public gleans information from the academics. Academia used to be a more insular cadre of people seeking knowledge for its own sake, so this was less relevant. What’s new here is that our society has fixated on the idea that matters of state and administration should be significantly guided by the results and opinions of academia. Our enthusiasm for science-guided policy is a triple whammy, because
1. Knowing that the results of your study have the potential to affect policy creates incentives that may change how the underlying science is performed
2. Knowing that results of academia have outside influence may change WHICH science is performed, and draw in less-than-impartial actors to perform it
3. The outsized potential impact invites the uninformed public to peer into the world of academia and draw half-baked conclusions from results that are still preliminary or unreplicated. Relatively narrow or specious studies can gain a lot of undue traction if their conclusions appear, to the untrained eye, to provide a good bat to hit your opponent with.

Well yes and no. While it is true that purity for the sake of it is useless, games like D&D have a human element which is very important. There is a reason why the Dungeon Master is human. Zooming out a bit, I find a lot of this momentum towards replacing our work with computer output is a bit sad. We should instead focus those resources on things like finding a cure for cancer. Things which were not possible to do before. In other cases like art and writing, the work is half of the fun and that is why there is a "controversy".

Try years. The hardest working people I've had as coworkers are the same ones getting shit raises and no promotions because they're "too valuable" to move out of the position they're in. Meanwhile I've left the company after a few years for massive pay increases and they get to figure out what they're going to do with their year after year pay decreases thanks to not getting raises above inflation.

Your experience may differ and that's fine. In my experience having worked at numerous businesses from startup to enterprise it's all the same. Hiring budgets are always bigger than retention budgets. 1% raise vs 10%+ salary increase. I know which one I am going to pick.

One can only hope.

Considering that literally everything is easier in it (EXCEPT for SOME of its conceptual bases), I'm surprised it's taking this long. Modularity is easier, testing is easier, there are no mutation bugs, no mutex locks, you understand program flow better (which means less bugs), you just produce fewer bugs per LOC... just scratching the surface here
Anyone who took a high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai over the past decade might have caught on to this phenomenon. The number of cities built in the middle of nowhere, with concrete skyscrapers standing empty, is stark and staggering. Seeing them is not only surreal, but gives one the sense of seeing something they ought not to, despite it being right outside the window.

The only rationalization that withstands any cursory scrutiny is to think that those towers are the seeds of, say, another Zhengzhou, which more than doubled in population (1.1 to 2.3m people) from 1990 to 2000, then added another 1.2m people from 2000-2010, then added another 1.7m people from 2010-2020 [0].

But then: who will work the 10% of China's land that's arable to feed 1.4B people? And what kind of family will those who came of age during the 1 child policy have in a cramped city? Finally, how the hell is China paying for any of this?

Add it all up, and you get what this article is talking about: a zombie economy, dependent on a crumbling world order, surrounded by countries that hold millennia-old grudges against it. Plus Russia.

Yikes.

I don't get this take, just in the past 12 months we have seen

-God of War Ragnarok

-Tears of the Kingdom

-Hogwarts Legacy

-Star Wars Jedi Survivor

-Final Fantasy XVI

All entirely or almost entirely singleplayer and all receiving critical acclaim (except for the poor launch of Jedi Survivor's PC port). And the next few months include Starfield and Spider-Man 2, both blockbuster singleplayer games with no microtransactions which stand a good chance of winning game of the year.

fwiw, pgadmin was not for a lack of trying: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/6304. I won't have many details about migra form the CLI team until they come online, but no doubt we'll pick up the migra support if it has been abandoned.

(but I agree with the sentiment: we can always find ways to be more collaborative)
Yes. Login is not required.
Same here; I won't buy it anytime soon (possibly ever; depends on if there's still a place for games in my life after going without for a year), though the fact that I'm reading and commenting this thread says that gaming is still important to me, if not just out of nostalgia but also that I recognize the importance of games in our collective experience, and I know something about them after three+ decades of playing and designing (table games; no publications, just for me & friends).

I like to read the negative reviews on Steam to help talk myself out of purchases. I usually find something convincing, the urge passes, and I spend more time doing something with a longer-lasting benefit (for who I an now, anyway). I thought for so long that I'd never quit gaming, but it served its purpose, I try not to regret it as wasted time (gaming gave me an easy sense of purpose, without which I might have joined a cult or become an alcoholic like my dad), and I try not to rain on anyone's parade.

No, I think you made a wild connection.

I said the systemic causes of problems are upstream. I named several of them: A, B, C that exacerbates X, Y, Z. That doesn’t mean A causes Z.

Gangsta Rap may be responsible for a totally different phenomenon than gender dysphoria: namely, the increase in violence, misogyny etc. in some Black communities. With the rise of Black music moguls it became essentially self-blaxploitation:

And also influenced a lot of bad memes among many Black youth:

This in turn hurt their economic chances as a class, to get high-paying jobs.

This shares elements with other similar examples, which are nevertheless distinct. For example, TikTok and Instagram harming the psyche of young teen girls, with one in three attempting suicide:

That’s insane! This was NOT the case in previous generations. But notice how few people in mainstream media talk about the upstream causes, and how they mostly discuss medicating this newfound problem away.

Similarly with diabetes, very few people talk about the prevalence of sugar in so many plants we eat (fructose in fruits for instance) or the government actually supporting high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified crops with sugar… or factory farms and so on…

1. Nobody’s stopping anyone. If you’ll only work for a remote company, nobody’s forcing you to come back into the office. Just get a new remote job and quit.

2.Even if your job is forcing you to do something you don’t like, that’s not a problem. If I want to use Windows and the company only lets people use Macs, then that’s not a problem. It’s a rule that either I’ll comply with or I won’t work there anymore.

If a company decides to be in-person-only then the people who want to work at a remote-only company won’t work there (or they will).

> The public perception of a publication in a prestigious journal as the established truth does not help, too.

it's not so much the public perception but what govs/media/tech and other institutions have pushed down so that the public doesn't question whatever resulting policy they're trying to put forth.

"Trust the science" means "Thou shalt not question us, simply obey".

Anyone with eyes who has worked in institutions knows that bureocracy, careerism and corruption are intrinsic to them.

To add something they haven’t yet mentioned: when not a driver, one can focus on other tasks and be productive. Less so when driving a car, where one’s focus is primarily on the road and only hands-free tasks are possible.

Because it is actually an RPG, there is actually choices there, even in Act 1 there are quite few major choices that have big ramifications in Act 2. Take something like Pillars of Eternity, it mostly had the illusion of choice and not much real reactivity, the npcs might say few different lines but it really did not matter much.

I am tired of the games that present you with illusion of choice but it actually doesn't matter. In BG3 you can actually be the evil character so that by itself lends the game at least for 2 playthroughs. Personally I am playing it through as Dark Urge first, and later going to do another run with good druid.

Also the graphics are really nice, almost everything is voice acted, companions have interesting stories. Story is already much better than divinity 2. I have 39 hours in now and I bought it at launch
The Plains isn’t close to every population center though, so unless some serious new transmission capacity to the coasts opens up, offshore is still a decent component.
You don't compete with people that are willing to allocate more of their time to work. You compete against who can get more work done in the same amount of time. If you work for free why would the employer give you more money? You've already signaled that you don't have self-worth. You get nothing, boss laughs at you, and you think you're indispensable because you worked 60 hour weeks for the last three years with barely anything to show for it besides more work.

We shouldn't be required to work less. We should get the benefit of our productivity. If you are more productive you get punished by getting more work thrown your way.

>Anyone can find an arrangement where they work less.

Sure, anyone can quit their job. I don't see how that's helpful.
And yet for me DuckDuckGo provides better results, consistently, for last few years. If “internet has gotten much worse” is true (I agree in many aspects it did) then DDG must be improving search at faster pace than Google.

There is a difference in 'spying', and taking photos from a public viewpoint though.

It's not really spying if it's done completely out in the open.

The same way you can't 'spy' on police or other government buildings by filming them from public view, something explicitly allowed.
Same experience here. My analysis is it's a money milking scheme between groups of doctors. Pass you around so everyone gets a cut and they cross refer people to scratch each other's backs. Surgeon refers you to pain management and pain management refers you to surgeon. Add in a physical therapist, testing facility, and chiropractor and you got a pretty lucrative meshnet of referrals going.

In most western countries, there's a high amount of unemployment for people who do relatively unskilled jobs. When people use he automated check-out in shops or the machines in the post office instead of the human worker, usually what happens is that either people are fired or contracts are not renewed as there's less need for human employees. This then directly leads to more unemployment for unskilled workers.

Since I'd rather those unskilled workers be actually doing a job [1] rather than my taxes paying for them to be on welfare while being disgruntled that they don't have a job, I purposefully do not use automated check out or do not use the machines.

Of course you can keep thinking that everyone who doesn't do the same thing you do are leeches or sheep and don't actually have a clear reason for why they do it but maybe try and learn to keep an open mind and be more empathetic about the world.

[1] Assuming the shops passes the savings of having automated checkouts to their customers, I would be paying slightly more to subsidize their salary (of course, I'm rather doubtful that the shops would pass on the savings)
There was a time (or maybe still) where some DS etc bootcamps would have their students publish medium articles as a capstone to their experience. I think both as a means of personal branding as well as researching and demonstrating subject matter competence and communication skills.

Which all sounds sensible in a vacuum, but the internet is a big, dumb machine that can’t distinguish competence (or even correctness) from expertise, and you end up with hyper specific articles like “Testing SKLearn Lasso Models inside Flask-SQLAlchemy using Mocked Spark Fixtures in Pytest” that others end up clicking on and it rises to the top of Google under some narrow search terms because of engagement, even if the substance is completely bonkers.

And then you get second order parroting of these ideas because a new grad without the experience to identify cruft actually uses them in public repos, or as the basis to hunt down and answer every SO question remotely related to this, for that sweet karma.
China seems to have some serious structural problems that are impeding its rise. For instance it has been reported that negative outlooks by economists are now to be censored, and "deflation" is a bad word.[0] It would be better for everyone if China fixes the issues with its economy so we can go back to cooperatively creating wealth for the world.
