Agreed. I know someone who refuses to cook at all under the guise of "anxiety" and I do not understand how some people are fine with not being able to provide for themselves on a very basic level. Automate your cooking and meal prep as much as possible and the process becomes quick and easy and you always have tons of food on hand.
Very nice. Hope to see something along the lines of Prettier for SQL, one day. That's sorely needed.
How? Because someone get an additional day off of the work while you don’t ?

It’s funny how I absolutely never thought about it that way. I guess scarcity of free time change perspective.
Yeah, there used to be a bunch but now it’s next day air or ground and that’s really it.

I’m talking marking packages as voluntary “non priority” or something. I don’t need everything right away and prime is worthless now anyway.
I think paying subscribers are generally much more valuable than users monetized by ads. The problem is just that only a small percentage are willing to pay. But I’m pretty sure that per user YouTube Premium subscribers are worth a lot more to Google than free users, so I doubt they’ll get rid of it (for financial reasons anyway).
I'm still not convinced that parent commenter and I are solving for the same problem, and am not quite ready to chalk it up to differing levels of skill, but it's not really a discussion I particularly want to go into any deeper either.

When I was a student, my skill level was certainly several orders of magnitude below what it is today, and I certainly spent a lot less time on food preparation. The difference is that back then I was filling my body with crap, which my body now no longer takes, approaching 40. I think, that has a lot more to do with it. Also, if, for example, you have children, you wouldn't feed them crap either. It's one thing to decide for yourself that you're going to live off of ramen, when you're a student. It's quite another to decide that you're going to feed your loved ones that way.
Ping ping tables? Free coffee? I'll wfh thanks.

I suppose it depends how the hardware was broken.

If you just needed a delay, this is bad code thats just been randomly iterated until it 'works'.

On the other hand, if the hardware does require such an incantation then it's impressive that someone managed to wade through the brokenness.

I'm inclined to believe it's the former though.
If your recovery mechanism completely bypasses the benefits of using the YubiKey, that recovery mechanism is what your attackers will use.

At this point the YubiKeys only provide some measure of convenience. It's disingenuous for the blogpost to paint this as some meaningful security improvement if Okta Verify is the fallback. Feels like such a waste of time and effort to build something worthwhile and then undermine it just like that.

On replication, it is a worthwhile goal but the career incentives need to be there. I think replicating studies should be a part of the curriculum in most programs - a step toward getting a PhD in lieu of one of the papers.
This "losing out on top talent" thing is 75% true but I know a lot of career oriented people who are passionate about building the best product possible that prefer a decent amount of in office time to be able to better collaborate and get stuff done.
This is also my experience. I regularly fill up my 8 qt as high as I'm able to, as long as I think I can carry the pot without spilling.

It takes 30-45 minutes to cool down enough to depressurize, but the lid is always clean so the food is likely staying in the pot.
This is not MS specific feature should be available in all JDK 17.0.8. Title is a little confusing, MS doesn't maintain a separate code base. They provide builds of the common JDK.
Using user generated data to train an AI is no different than scanning it for spam or any other administrative function, and using public data to train your AI model is fair use and everyone should get over it already.

I'm not rendering an opinion here about the trustworthiness of Zoom. I'm simply saying that the plain reading of the TOS is the opposite of what the headline on this post claims.
We use Google Meet at our company for everything including external client and vendor calls.

Not to say Google has the best track record with privacy… but its feature set is on par with Zoom in most areas

(I personally like it because it’s 100% sandboxed in the browser)
It is only dependency management.

My dad was an over-the-road trucker in the 80's. Since he had been a mechanic his whole life, he saved a LITTLE money by doing all the work on it himself (but a lot of truckers do).

Even then, the joke was:

"A trucker from <midwestern state> won the lottery. On the news he was asked, 'What are you going to do with all that money?', to which he replied, 'Ohh, I'll probably just keep trucking till it's gone'".
Zoom definitely sells that.
Do you think banning bikes would be easier/less costly to enforce/better for your community than making it safer for cyclists to share the road with cars (which is usually why cyclists ride on sidewalks in a given area)? If a ban was established on bikes, but not cars, to parts of your city where people need to go, and cyclists continued to go to the places they needed to go… what would enforcement of that ban look like? Pulling them off their bikes?
Where is this the case ?
> Verne tried to use only technologies that had actually been implemented.

No he didn't. The technology to build the submarine he imagined had not been implemented. Additionally, a cannon that could fire humans into space had not been implemented in 1865 when he wrote From the Earth to the Moon, and the interior of volcanos and the Earth's core had not been explored when he wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I really think you're selling him short - he used cutting-edge scientific theories as inspiration for imaginative, speculative stories, he didn't limit himself to existing inventions. I have plenty of respect for Tom Clancy as well but they are very different writers with very different approaches.
According to this [0], 51% of stocks are held by the 1%. So you are correct that the rich control corporations. But 49% voting power is far from negligible.

Even a small minority of voters who care about an issue and raise a stink about it can swing a big change.

Most shareholders, including rich ones, are happily coasting along on autopilot. If someone with even a single share stands up in an annual meeting and makes a good point, I would pay attention.

The parent comment I replied to originally said that return to office is pushed at regular by a fund (Blackrock) that owns office space as well as shares in companies like say Apple or Google, even if that is a suboptimal choice for Apple and Google.

If there's a bloc of even 5% of ownership arguing against this at an annual meeting, it would be a major improvement in the state of affairs. Corporate America runs the world. We can't just relegate all important decisions to big owners by default - at the very least give them hell!

The folks with wealth have seen our productivity gains. We as labor have not. We seem to have less free time because we're working more. We have less free time. We should be down at least to 32 hours per workweek at 4 days. If we unionized we'd be able to negotiate such things. Unfortunately, our industry as a whole seems somehow illogical about that as it, we're all some 100x rockstar type. As it stands that we (IT/Software Engineers) are classified as salary exempt (in the US at least) is incredibly damaging. When you can be made to work 70-hour workweeks with no additional pay and with your job hostage, I'd say that's a perfect time to unionize.

But broadly speaking we in the US view down time as somehow the greatest sin imaginable. Take time off? Better be sick. Don't want to spend 3+ hours of your day in waste? How dare you, you entitled commie!

WFH is the best way to reclaim time that we presently have. I get to lose two hours commute and an hour lunch that wasn't really mine anyway. My work week isn't going to be reduced so the time I have around that is what I can reduce. Given that I see no other way to do that besides working from home. When we work from home we must be diligent to create boundaries. Don't install Slack on your personal phone. Don't put your email on your personal phone. At the end of your workday shut the work machine down and leave it until the start of your workday.

>so what is your excuse for not completing that task on Saturday?

I don't work on my personal time without additional compensation. If you want that task done on Saturday you can do it yourself. If you want me to do it then you can wait until Monday.
You’re right on that part but I think it isn’t so much the server resources but the actual things the bots may be doing. For example making a ton of bot accounts to spread propaganda, or 10,000 “trial accounts” to host untraceable phishing/scam pages, etc. Or for example, an e-commerce site that doesn’t want to be automated into service as a card tester for stolen credit cards with thousands of fraudulent orders.

>Which people?

People who are advertised to, and told that they aren't good enough unless they use <product>. Ads create negative utility by attempting to make people less satisfied with what they were already happy with.

Obviously "not all ads", some ads do useful work of informing the public about a useful product when word-of-mouth isn't working "fast enough". I'm adding this line specifically to pre-empt nitpicker replies.
I was a military brat and moved around a bunch as a kid and was surrounded by other kids who moved around a lot. It wasn't unusual for a significant portion of your class to be different by the end of the year.

This gave me an ear for accents. It was a game of mine to guess where someone was from. It was challenging because the subject almost invariably had lived in different regions and had picked up bits and pieces of a few accents, and whose parents likely had yet another set of accents.

I became pretty good at it, particularly with Southern accents (partly due to living in the South and Southerners enlisting at significantly higher rates than the rest of the country).

I could pick out someone from Dallas vs Charleston vs Upstate South Carolina vs LA and more.

But the next generation has lost a lot of accent distinctiveness, particularly amongst the middle to upper middle classes, so my powers are fading.

(Side note: in True Detective they describe Matthew McConaughey's character as Texan and make it a plot point that he's an outsider in Louisiana--and he does indeed have one of the Texas accents--but Woody Harrelson also has a pretty distinctively Texan accent)
They do, they never promised to link to the builds, per the article:

It simply lists what they've added per tagged release and they link the source code. See sibling comment for actual builds.
Would be great if they actually provided some details of what this joint venture actually aims to do. Is it developing CPUs and other IP? Will it produce actual chips? Perhaps it's just a way for the various companies to pool money and resources to develop RISC-V standards and ecosystem things (like conformance test suites) and maybe bits of IP?

The current info:

> aimed at advancing the adoption of RISC-V globally by enabling next-generation hardware development.

Doesn't tell you much!
fwiw, I personally am interested in this approach too[0]. I keep running into roadblocks around the ordering of events and some of the hairy issues around "destructive" actions (eg: renaming columns). i think we can get there, especially once we make progress with this LSP.

Seeing a few canned tuna comments here. I love it as much as the next guy but PSA: it has more mercury than you would imagine -- in the range of ~60mcg per tin in some cases. Nobody needs that, and I've personally banned it from my diet.
I'm not seeking to blame the average earner over the super rich.

Most people are very much attached to consumption, it's been a bigger factor that kept the common 40h week than the employers very possible desire to keep workers hustling so much.

Which people? In term of numbers and total impact that would be regular people, more so than those possibly having more leverage on defining what a working week should look like.

In any case the control is over the regular people. If the latter change the other bunch will de facto have to revisit how much they consume, by rough as much.
My company has been asked to sign a form 899, which seems to be interpreted as meaning we have to ensure that our entire supply chain does not use Huawei

I'm not sure how we can do that. For example the only ISP we can use in one of our offices provides internet via a devices with a Huawei MAC address. Now fine, I can see it's part, we could close the office, but how can I confirm that a security contractor we have in Kabul doesn't own a Huaweii mobile phone? I'm sure our company employs foreign agents somewhere in the company -- there was always an open secret that the cleaner in the Moscow office worked for the KGB.

It's with our lawyers, but they basically say the way it's been presented is any business with operations in any way reliant on the internet cannot sign the form. Maybe they're overparanoid. Maybe US legal practice is that you sign and hope for the best.

I can see jobs programs for rocket scientists to stop them emigrating, but for lawyers?
Congrats on big family! How do you manage home improvement without car? I always run out of some small stuff during the weekends so its either 30minute turnaround by car or an hour and thirty by public transport and that's usually near the closing hours so its either car, or no one has running water for the day because some kitchen appliance has no valve and the connector hose is leaking.
The firefighters can also read the big sticker. We will make it fireproof. We will include the fact that fire fighters will be slower to respond because they too will read the sticker, on the sticker.

Or better yet one of those "child inside" stickers but "no firefighters" so they know the building had opted out.
Visual Studio has one of the best precompiled headers implementations.

I was listening to a show (well there's your problem) talking about the failures of the american freight railway.

If we think for a minute, railroads are WAY cheaper to set up and maintain, compared to a road covering the same route. They are also more fuel efficient than cars.

We could have a system where parcels are brought to your towns post office by train, you get to the post office by feet.

Freight is also much cheaper to move by train, but poor management moved a LOT of freight out of trains into trucks, because we are in a "just in time" manufacturing paradigm (you want to hold as little inventory as possible and receive loads when they need to be processed), where the flexibility of trucks beats trains.

The sunk cost of roads puts us in a weird, uncomfortable place if we want to move forward with a more efficient/green transportation.
In any built up area it really doesn't matter how large the country as a whole is, or its population density, to how I can get to the dentist, supermarket, running track or a local friend. Those are mostly results of local planning decisions.
I agree with all that. I'll eat leftovers. For somethings they're great like a big pot of chili. For some things they're awful. For others, it's somewhere in between and/or some leftovers can be incorporated into a new dish.

Cooking a company meal can be an all-day affair but, especially when I was commuting into an office every day, I had a fairly standard set of recipes that I could whip up in very little time and with very little effort. It really wasn't worth preparing a larger quantity that I would have to reheat for a less good result.
This reminds me of the old pandemic of 1346-1353.

Many people died back then. Traditional manorial system, which was based on serfdom, became less viable. Land owners discovered they have to compete for workers, instead of just exploiting the free serfs. They started to pay them money, which over time launched the market economy.

I would expect that in the long term, this pandemic (combined with low birth rates in most western countries) will also improve our society.
Aw man, now I’m sad because that means that’s the next thing Apple will nerf out of existence. I like my clipboard manager and I haven’t ever downloaded malware onto my Mac despite rarely using their crappy App Store. :(

Stage 1: Everything is totally trusting.

Viruses exist, and scanners exist to help you not download anything stupid.

Stage 2: Locked ecosystems like iOS App Store, Platform Vendor claims their 100% diligence will protect you (and them) from all possible bad (or insufficiently-profitable) software.

Apparently they weren’t satisfied

Stage 3: Full Sandboxing and full enforcement of Platform Vendor’s blessed software source only.

Now my computer, like my phone, will only ever have the exact, enumerated features the Platform Vendor blesses me with and I will like it or else. I am free to file a feedback on their website if I’d like a clipboard manager, and they may one day look at that feedback.

Sibling comment went for some twitter rebuttal, which isn’t appropriate here (or anywhere, really); a better reply is challenging the goodness, utility, or execution of those schemes themselves.

His cars are expensive but poorly built for a luxury vehicle and are, at a macro level, greenwashing to perpetuate car culture.

His rockets are a folly for the super-wealthy. If that is you, congratulations! But I’d be wary of the fate of the most recent experimental sarcophagus for the elite.

Starlink is neat and has a noble aim, though as currently (and foreseeably) implemented it won’t be serving that goal at all; it is an expensive service with high upfront costs and no availability in regions most in need of either coverage in general (the majority of the African continent) or rural areas (for which SpaceX receives considerable funding for). It’s also raised concerns about a crowded sky, but that’s for someone more informed to chime in on.

And as per the brain chips, the rate of dead research monkeys should tell you that they won’t be going anywhere with that. If you know anyone in biomedical research, you should talk to them about that: you’ll be amused.

I'm sure not all, but I feel so many of these calculations do not include how much is your time worth, which unlike money you can't make more of.

I'm in a sub-sub-urb of a big city in the US so a car is a necessity; I don't like it, but it's what it is. But even if I lived near a train station (and I have used them in the UK, New York, and Western Europe), not having a car is still a cost in time. How much I never put to paper, but it's not zero. (I'm also discounting the cost and hassle of having a car in a "big city" - when I lived in NY, no way I'd own a car there.)
How does Jitsi handle 500-person+ conference calls these days? This is the killer zoom feature - it looks like Jitsi can handle up to 500 now. https://jaas.8x8.vc/#/comparison .

That's personally not enough for many remote companies. So if we're going to have to have Zoom on our machines anyway (to handle an all-company meeting), why not just use it for the rest?
