Even well done, this kind of communication doesn't substitute for more free-form 1:1s that in-person allows. The latter are key to building trust.

I'm finding this to be one of the key drawbacks of remote work - some decisions require cross team trust and I've yet to see anything besides more frequent ad-hoc conversations that builds it. The problem is that the most trust building conversations tend to be "off-topic" conversations that just don't happen organically in a remote environment. I as an individual can try and make these happen but I can't force the org to do so.

If anyone feels like they have a solution I'd love to hear it (we're already doing quarterly off-sites, it's not enough)
Seems this is about people skills. Some people are weird and annoying and you have to find ways to thrive even with their presence, or move to another project as others are suggesting

Many different ways of dealing with it,

- from not responding at all (I do this often when people just ”ping” without stating their business),

- to asking what the matter is and if its urgent otherwise lets discuss it (a good while) later when I have time (I do this often too, my job is programming and requires focus time)

- to just saying that you are busy right now

Just a few ideas, find the guts to experiment and learn

I actually rarely bring up these kind of issues with managers, I find its mostly about signaling and breaking the loop that annoying people thrive on. Learn to subtly draw a line, repeatedly if you must, without being confrontational
It depends on the difficulty of making it and the amount required.

I mean if you never actually switched to a municipal service than it doesn't really count as a refutation. I thought seattle had issues doing this sort of stuff in general.
> Why is it so painful for you?

Mostly because of the number of machines that I have to fix up and the fact that updating each of them involves a fair bit of time. My estimation is I'm looking at at least a week's worth of work, during which my network isn't fully functioning.

It's also complicated by the number of devices I have that aren't possible to make work with IPv6 at all, which means I have to maintain some IPv4 segment and deal with making the two work together in a seamless way.

I'm also very concerned about security. I'm not confident that I know enough about how to secure an IPv6 network adequately, so I need to set aside a fair bit of time for study before I even start.

All in all, it's a large project with a lot of friction that wouldn't be as large if I didn't have to rethink everything.
Any EV manufacturer is subsidized, due to attempts to mitigate climate change and combustion pollutants (smog and whatnot, which is important to geographies like California).
Derek Lowe had a similar take:

"AOH1996 is a very unremarkable-looking molecule - to be honest, it looks like the sort of stuff that you used to see in old combinatorial chemistry libraries in the late 90s and early 2000s, a couple of aryl-rich groups strung together with amide bonds."

It's incredibly useful: you could pull a 3D model from an old photo, or even a painting, clean it up a bit, and use it.
As is mine, now. Back in the wild days of 2016 or so advice online said "just go get some melatonin and you'll sleep!" and the bottle said to take 1 or 2 an hour before you want to sleep, so off I went.

Author explicitly said he was talking about Amazon, but I don't think he was talking about Amazon.
I really like this idea, I'm often prototyping, but since I do it on my own, it is not throwable, so I tend to keep longer as they explain.
It sounds like something that could be solved with a chargeback. Does the matrix account for that?
This is an underrated way of doing things that I've come to appreciate over time. Heck, I'll even go live with the all-in-one-file thing until there's a reason to split it up. It's all peanuts anyway compared to bigger decisions like what API, DBMS, DB schema, other deps, libs, etc you use.
I don't doubt they have good customer service - that's a way to grow and retain customers (in context of the article). However, the prices you are seeing are probably similar to internet/cable provider situation - there are three providers with approximately the same package, one is probably the best, but all three are overcharging you anyway, because neither has an incentive to reduce the price.

> that's how this is supposed to work, right? They make money, we serve our customers.

Yes*, but they make _a lot_. Being bought by an investment firm should be an indicator. Also, while I was there, they could give each employee half a million dollars and still be in the black at the end of the year. My point is that a company that profits from taxpayer money should be accountable to at least _some_ effort to be more efficient and less greedy. OverDrive is an example, but is not the only case. Yes, I realize the irony of expecting a business to make less money. But they are also dealing with budgets of (involuntarily) collected tax vs individuals voluntarily paying them.
Right that ends up being the same thing. They are making your redistribution a violation of that (sub?)contract
Yes, I did, I used to own ER4s. To be fair, I'm not using the integrated tips and instead use Comply tips.

It may have been that my ears just seal better using foam than with the three flange oddity Etymotic puts on these?

I do agree the Etymotics sound better out of the box, but after using AutoEQ they sound pretty similar.
At least post the citation for the desal thing?
1-2, I don't know enough about small business owners to have a firm guess, but I'm definitely suspicious and I treat this as very weak information.

As for the rest I'm at least glad you're finding a good number of people you're making happy. But it doesn't sound like your experience would be an outlier in getting fewer listeners compared to other legitimate sales, so that still suggests to me that those survey numbers are wrong or very misleading.
> In that case the Code, copyright, was not transferred to the employee, They are not operating under the conditions of the GPL at all.

In this scenario let's say that the patches are GPLv2 licensed and apply to a larger GPLv2 codebase, as opposed to something like a separate kernel module. So the code is, indeed, GPL, and both the built kernels and the source itself are unambiguously a derivative work of GPL code.

And this code is distributed to you as part of your job. It wasn't stolen, it was provided to you with specific terms of use, namely that it only be used within the company.

Is your argument that there can be no legal constraints beyond what "the GPL says" in this situation? That those constraints shouldn't apply, because they infringe your GPL-provided rights?
Instead its owned by the Government which can borrow an infinite amount of money and does for all kinds of reasons. Right now they spend 1.5 billion Euro each year for the Deutschland Ticket[1].

I am super happy about the ticket and think its a good thing. But lets not pretend its financing would be possible without heavy government spending.

Yes, because a person doesn't only ever want to print things to their own printer on their own network. Sometimes a person wants to be able to ask their friend "Hey, can I print something?" while over at their friend's house.

The problem is iOS's unwavering demand for AirPrint and fundamental disrespect for every pre-existing CUPS printer that still works perfectly with every macOS, *nix, and Windows PC. Every computing device on the planet other than iPhones and iPads prints just fine to network printers that don't support AirPrint. So, yeah, it would be best to fix that problem on the mobile device side, because the problem is the mobile device itself not the network or the printer.

macOS automatically detects my Brother HL-2280DW just fine even without a custom Brother CUPS driver installed, because that printer already supports Bonjour, but iOS refuses to see it.

> A reasonable observation many North Americans make is that it would just take too long to get anywhere by train, unlike in Europe.

Well, China has built a shit ton of high speed rail across their country. There is nothing preventing the US from doing just the same.

NYC <-> LA is like, what, 4000km? Sounds insane at a quick glance, but a 500 km/h maglev train makes that an 8 hour ride, compared to a 6h flight plus 1h "dead" time for boarding, luggage, and security theatre. Not much of a difference. A 300 km/h "classic" high speed rail like the German ICE will take 13h, but hey even that is manageable.

And unlike Europe, y'all have the advantage that your land is barely occupied by anything but a few farms.
It's important to remember what kind of people are still invested in twitter enough to comment randomly on something they have no connection to.
Yeah normally when I do this, it’s because I picked bad abstractions. The main business logic I can bring over almost line by line, but I want to reshape the abstractions / data structures / interface to that logic
So while I strongly believe this violates the spirit, I disagree about this violating the letter. You are free to distribute, all that will happen is that you lost future access. Trust sounds like a full legal loophole.
I noticed all these same things as well. It still is impressive but not what I would call a playable game.
There is this famous physics quote that nature abhors a vacuum (and will instantly fill it with air) but this effect is far more appropriate for human affairs. If people let their guard down, do not get informed, are not civic-minded, organized, active, hence create a vacuum in oversight and governance, somebody will take advantage of it and will fill the vacuum.

The details vary over time and space but the essence is always the same. Somebody will influence the decision making bodies to make decisions that are suboptimal for the many and advantageous for a few. It may blatant corruption or more involved and nuanced "capture". There is no real difference for the societal calculus.

A well functioning society is not an utopic place where nobody tries to take advantage of the commons. It is rather an immune system where signals, feedback loops and deterrent mechanisms instantly neutralize any parasitic attempt.

Ironically, a well connected digital society is technically fully equipped to create such immune systems. All it takes the right frame of mind.
It's my understanding that long-known high temperature superconductors already don't require helium cooling. How does that fact fit into the picture?

Seen this before with some company selling some form of “security” branch of the kernel or similar.
full title [Elevated CO2 concentration induces photosynthetic down-regulation with changes in leaf structure, non-structural carbohydrates and nitrogen content of soybean]

stomatal aperature will close in high CO2 concentrations, general case is >600ppm tissue concentration is too much. high CO2 regime reduces photosynthetic gains toward biomass production.

that means reduction of crop yields, and abberant physiological state leading to quality issues, over the course of cultural efforts.
Would the copyright holder (GPL'd software) have standing to sue for Tortious interference, being that the GPL is a contract between the copyright holder and end user?
I find it weird how we live in such a centralized world now. All the forums and blogs and fan sites I grew up with are gone, buried under seo spam, so we turn to a few mega-centralized sites/apps now to connect with other humans. Everything else seems to be content marketing, or soon-to-be ai spam (coming soon)

What if you don't like Goodreads? I mean, almost every book on there has between a 3.5 and a 4.1 rating anyway, whether it's some fanfic or a 200 year old classic, the ratings don't really help you pick a book. Where else would you even go to get aggregated ratings and rankings, amazon? Not an actual alternative, they're the same company. Indigo/book seller sites? Most books have zero ratings. Blogs? Bloggers can only read so many books.

I like discord and substack lately, it's where I'm discovering new things, eg, reading clubs. They won't stay good forever. Substack Notes is a bit of a bummer for me, and what does the future hold for discord? Which tech giant will acquire it and shape it into something else? How long until everything you type into discord gets sold to train ai for example?

Pretty soon I'm going to have to, like, leave the house and arrange in-person events to connect with anybody without a weirdo tech company getting in the way. What would that world even look like?
Fair, I'm putting charity to the claim and assuming that they coded against a Microsoft toolchain. That is, my assumption would not be that it was the different distros, but that is just an easy thing to say.
Devil's advocate: the wait timer should diminish even if the driver hasn't left their house, assuming that you can statistically model the time it takes from a driver getting the notification to getting in their car. Also, while there are probably better solutions, it would be a privacy violation to reveal the location of the driver's home.

What you are suggesting does exist, at least partially. SimplyE is the largest open platform I can think of, but it does work by leveraging partnerships with traditional vendors like Overdrive. There's also Ebooks Minnesota and likely similar platforms in other states, though those are often run using proprietary platforms even if they contain open access material. There's also Internet Archive and Open Library, but both have been in some trouble. One I'm unfamiliar with was also mentioned in the original article.

I'll say that given my experience in identifying and spending funds for nebulous projects like software or service improvements, I'm not optimistic. It's easy to buy a bulldozer and shop and get the best price and then show you have a bulldozer. That's much harder to do for software and it's why so many government platforms seem to suck and why I think Overdrive will be comfortable at the top for a while. I'd like a world where libraries had control over the electronic content they purchase, but people will migrate to easy and we have to follow them there.
Weird to start a project in js instead of TypeScript these days. That doesn't give a good feeling about his privacy-focused app which will probably have plenty of subtle bugs and security holes.
> It’s arguably this exact mentality that separated the Nazis and the rest of the Axis from the Allies. The Nazis had valued an outdated concept of ruling with an iron fist

Where does Russia fit in this? And even if you make an exception for Russia, the allies had plenty of warts. British rule in Ireland and India for example.

Treating the Second World War in isolation is also a mistake. The First World War was not finished when the shooting stopped. The resentment, restrictions and reparations were directly responsible for what came next.
LK-99 – here’s what the experts think

Nice! Might this pave the way for an ADBC_scanner extension since I imagine the adbc and nanoarrow dependencies will be built in!?

Looks cool! Do you have a hosted version anywhere we could play around with?
That makes sense. Like a prototype you hand out so that you can figure out what it is you/client actually want. I don't think of those as first drafts though. Maybe it's a language barrier thing for me.
Test coverage!? I don't think that word was in the vocabulary of the dev who wrote it :).
Enterprise likes it, because it gives them more visibility and control over what's going on in the dev box. That gives more angles to control against e.g. exfiltration threats. It also makes dev environments much more homogeneous: you worry less about client machines. In principle you could have a fleet of stateless Chromebooks whose main function is ssh and http, all connecting to identical virtualized desktops that are easily provisioned and deprovisioned.
The loophole is that as soon as you exercise your rights, you lose future access. So if you want access, you can't exercise your rights.
Is there any indication of what the breakdown voltage of LK-99 might be?
Another war analogy was the Byzantine defense. Their policy was to avoid decisive, large-scale battles where a lot can go wrong at once. If an enemy army is incurring, first try to weaken or deter it with lighter forces that also gather intel. If they can't stop the threat, form and advance a larger army with a better-planned supply chain to stop it deeper in the territory.

Which actually doesn't work so well in AoE. The game doesn't have a concept of army supplies, so you usually just want a huge unstoppable army you can send anywhere.

I'm looking for part-time opportunities in NYC or remote. Ideally related to fintech, crypto, or AI/ML, but I also have experience in video games, online video, and music/audio. Although I'm working on a fintech startup, I'm seeking ~20-30 hrs/week to help bootstrap it and treat any project I take on seriously.

* In 2021, Launched an NFT collection that has seen $3.4m in total sales (sole engineer). Worked closely with my partner in the project (the artist), handling all engineering for generative art and bespoke smart contracts. Paris Hilton, Reese Witherspoon, and Post Malone bought some.

* Currently CTO at Upward (https://upwardearner.com/), a mobile tax app targeting self-employed individuals. Deep integrations with Plaid and soon April for on-phone filing: https://www.getapril.com/

Would love to hear from you!

Yep, I've got one of those on my iPad that I can use to take pictures with my Sony α7ii. I don't think I can download RAWs with it, but it basically works. I can stand up my camera on a tripod and then take pictures remotely.
> looking for gaping security holes is premature optimization.

I won't approve a PR if I notice such a thing (and if it really is "gaping" I'd expect an automated tool to flag it and fail the build anyway).
I don't really see ensuring your code follows basic secure SDLC best practices as "optimisation" at all - in fact it often comes at a (hopefully small) cost of less than optimal performance.
Of course there may be areas of software development (hobby projects etc.) where security is not a priority at all, but if it's code you're being paid to write that runs on the cloud or your customer's machines then security is absolutely worth getting right from the get-go.
That's not the same thing. You can do everything the GPL allows you to do, you are not restricted from that. But RHEL gets to choose who their customers are and they won't choose you. You can't force them to take you on as a customer, no license can

> I most often get things right enough the first time that it really only needs to be refactored going forward.

I think it really depends on your values and what you’re working on.

If you have the mindset of a product engineer, the thing you care the most about is how well the software works for your users. The code is an unfortunate necessity. When I build react apps, I tend to think like this. The code I write first go is often good enough to last until the next redesign of the UI.

By contrast, if you’re thinking of the code as a home you build for your work that you will live in, then having a tidy home becomes its own reward. Good decisions today (in terms of cleaning up or refactoring code) should lead to more velocity later. When I think about building a database, an OS kernel or a compiler, I think like this. When I start, I don’t know where my code should be rigid and where it should be flexible. My first guesses are usually very wrong.

Personally I prefer the latter kind of problem. I like it when there’s no obvious way to structure my code and I have to explore while I work. The code I’m most proud of writing has probably been rewritten 5 or more times before I landed on the “final” design. The “right” abstractions are rarely obvious at first glance and the search can be incredibly rewarding.

The rich history of application programming abstractions suggests it isn’t exempt from this either. It’s just, when you’re building a UI there have been an awful lot of explorers who came before you and can show you the way.
