Canonical, isn't the Ubuntu company? I don't know much about it, but I can't imagine it's high-stress and fast-paced.
There are tons. I loved Starglider 2, produced by Argonaut Games. It's like No Man's Sky, but is from the 80s.
I am negative for the Celiac blood test (got tested three times) but I am absolutely allergic to gluten. Starting three years ago randomly I became allergic and severely ill for months - losing up to 30 lbs in a matter of a month - before isolating the problem to gluten. I have also on multiple occasions accidentally eaten gluten without realizing and immediately felt the symptoms. None of the tests I've taken show gluten as an allergen or problem in my body but cutting it out removes all my symptoms. Our tests are not nearly good enough and I suspect many people deal with chronic inflammation and other health issues due to food they can't eat and don't even realize
While I agree that in private offices would be amazing, the amount of space this would require seems huge.
Ideally each room would be as big as a two-person conference room, and even that would feel a little claustrophobic after several hours.

Companies can't fit enough of those in as it stands. How would they do it for every employee? The square footage needs would be huge.

Open office floorplans take ~75 sqft per employee. An office would take ~150.

I vaguely remember IBM cubicle farms from visiting their offices as a child. They took up a ton of space, requiring huge office towers. That means lots of elevator trips and conference room needs.
> exactly how unbiased is it when every person I interviewed with was exactly my demographic? (White, female, American/western European)

Please could someone explain how is this, claiming that someone's race and ethnicity defines their bias, not in itself racist?
Most europeans do have significant amounts of neandertal DNA, but the likelyhood of your people 300 years ago being in the same place in europe that long ago, even a thousand years ago, is slim. There’s been massive migrations and demographic shifts. The most “ancient” population in Europe I believe are thought to be the Basques.

Yeah I've been following the thread but feeling a bit queasy because there's a real person on the end of all this vitriol.

I think a lot of people's anger and waving the GDPR stuff around is excessive. It's understandably annoying but at the end of the day this is just the implicit cost you pay for not having a commercial agreement in place. Maintainers can go rogue, make stupid decisions and disappear and frankly your comeback is 'fork it and do it yourself'. Not bombard the maintainer with invective and legal threats.

I wouldn't use Moq (or other libraries by this maintainer) again in light of their current behavior but the fork button is literally right there at the top of the page. If I want to use the code going forward I'd have to take ownership.

I think this also shows how nonsense the default security posture is for a lot of places. Dependabot has atrophied organisation's security sense. You almost never want to upgrade and sit at the bleeding edge, that's asking for zero days, supply chain attacks and bugs. Number goes up is not a sensible way of managing software. There's nothing wrong with a 2 year old dependency running in your solution if there are no reported security issues.
> To be honest I think with hybrid, open offices make a lot of sense. Realistically you want to be able to hot desk because that's where the cost savings are made in a hybrid situation.

This doesn’t sound like a stable equilibrium to me; more like a transition to full remote that you do when you’re waiting for your lease to run out. Not even having your own permanent desk sounds like utter hell.

Evidence of what? That malvertising exists?
when I worked in Germany we had small offices for 2 or 3 people. I thought that was perfect. You could have nice, quiet chats and really work on things together. Open office seems to be something made up by super extroverts who think things get done best in a loud and frantic way where everybody yells at each other. And cubes seem to be made up by people who like to dehumanize workers.

Interestingly the execs who push hardest for WFH are a) almost never at the office and b) have a nice private office with windows.
Growing up in NYC, I had three hours of commuting per day from age 14 to 26. Then I switched to work from home (this was before covid). I would never go back.
Ick. Do you have a source?
Hmm, risking sounding like the dropbox-is-only-ftp-and-svn guy but shouldn't any threat actor worth their salt be able to use any array of open source tools to do this? Especially if you already have access on the machine and the possibility to place binaries there?

The biggest risk I see is if the target is already using this for legit use cases, since I guess it would be really difficult to discern between the two.
Not with unemployment where it is. Instead it's more likely that companies will offer more money to software engineers to compensate for a must-commute policy.
I've seen creators move their communities off of Slack because the cost got prohibitive, long before 10k people. I can't imagine how much that cost to operate year-to-year.
As little as possible.

I work on personal projects for the work.

The work is the point, not the results.

Finished projects require no management.
If it wasn’t intentionally obfuscated, and used more standard, accessible terms, perhaps that might happen more frequently.

The fact is that’s a major red flag.

Also I’m not sure you get to claim boredom with the answer to a question you directly asked.
Same. I was happy with `apt install calc` (I think nowadays called apcalc) for years because it does arbitrary precision and isn't as awkward as a python shell or so, but qalc is clearly a step up with support for units and solving

$ calc 2^x=4
x is undefined
$ qalc 2^x=4
((2^x) = 4) = (x = 2)

I used the above for determining after how many years a given inflation rate doubles a price (1.03^x=2)

I think my most recent real-world application for units calculation was about how much energy a device uses in kWh after a year, given that it draws 10W during office hours:

$ qalc 10W*(8h/day)*1year to kWh
(10 * watt) * ((8 * hour) / day) * (1 * year) = 29.22 kW*h

It even does time calculations: 13:37-08:00 tells you that you've been working for about 5.6 hours.

I don't know why this isn't the universally used command-line calculator. I have it on my phone as well via a Debian subsystem and it's the best
Not everything is a class dynamic. “Analyst at GS hanging out in the Hamptons” doesn’t scream working class.

The CEO and analyst are both upper class, just different levels of power and seniority.

That CEO is just a power-tripping asshole.
How is that a problem? Nobody is reviewing open-source driver code aside from the people actually working on improving it.

Also lmao; do you really believe Intel is going to sabotage their own platform? If you're doing something so "nefarious and underhanded" on your computer for that to be a concern, you likely have no reason to be concerned since you should be using a platform and OS that makes this a non-issue. Only bad-actors would be concerned and raise this as a point.
I have refused to use any kind of chat/IM based applications for work. Email is sufficient. The "chaos of your workday" is entirely self-inflicted when you decide to use software like Slack.
Because I was curious, here's what I found on the Goldman CEO story: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-03-15/goldma...
I lived 5 minutes away from work for a few years, I could see my office window from my apartment window. Going into the office wasn't a big deal, it was just a 5 minute walk. I really didn't care about going home for lunch because we had a cafeteria and I'd eat lunch or go get snack with my friends and there were probably 20 restaurants within a 10 minute walk so I had better options than a PB&J. It was much more of a social thing than a work thing, why sit in my apartment by myself when I have a half dozen people I enjoy hanging out with 5 minutes away. The only disadvantage was that due to my proximity I was always the go to person in case someone had to physically go to the office, the guy who lived 80 miles away was never asked to pop in on a Saturday to reboot something but I was asked all the time.
So far they seem to be betting on Ampere which seems to be developing their own cores (which is much more complex/expensive than what Amazon is doing) so it's interesting how they will do. If Ampere manages to get a moat AWS might end up behind everyone else in a couple of years.

You are cutting your TAM by at least 50%.
I believe you are right in the spirit of people overreacting to gluten. However, there may be more mechanisms at play which create more than 2 categories (celiac and non celiac). (I added some links below).

I only post this disagreement with your post as an autoimmune enjoyer who has 0 genes for celiac (although my dad developed full blown celiac at age 55 without any previous symptoms in his life). Having dealt with autoimmune issues for a while and doing a lot of reading and discussions with my various rheumatologists over the years, I find it amazing how little is truly known about the immune system, role of food, role of microbiome, and root causes of auto immune issues. Moreover, the lack of understanding on how auto-immune disease prevalence has gotten way worse in recent decades (at least in the U.S.), way moreso than can be explained by increased reporting/increased life expectancy.

wow 17! excellent work. You're going places for sure if you keep this up. I would guess even most working Devs don't have any real concept of how things work at the CPU level let alone during high school.
Which is unfortunate because I find real-time communication (including in-person) puts pressure on people to appear to either know what they're talking about/arguing against, or to do so as a means of thinking out loud but without any affordance for real dialectic; whereas everytime I've discussed ideas over email, wrestling with interlocuters, it has been significantly smoother sailing conveying and clarifying terms and implications, mutually.

This likely depends on where you work/whom you work with, but nevertheless, "the right tool for the right job" seems betrayed when it comes to communication which affords no implied pause or space for reflection.
I couldn't care less about having a private office at work... That would even ruin any benefit of actually being there in person (e.g. spontaneously talk to a coworker, pick up knowledge from listening to coworkers talking about some problem...).

What would help is paid commute time (or at least reimburse my commute costs), and paid lunch. Literally going to the office costs me 20-30$ per day, which is almost 10% of the salary I earn that day.
> The company reviews (not interviews) on glassdoor tell me the same story. Its like their employees have written a collective "WTF", and management is completely impervious, blissfully clueless, as to how broken, how disfunctional, their processes are

They know, and it's been discussed often.

They want young motived people who they can pay sub-par wages and convince to work long hours. 30 year veterans would rock the boat and demand too much money, and dip when it's clear the middle mgmt are clowns.

My wife is a coeliac (not an allergy, a disease linked to inflammation), and so doesn't eat wheat, but we end up talking to loads of people about wheat once they hear that.

I think most people would consider themselves to have a gluten intolerance, not allergy (at least here in the UK).

Similarly my wife is not allergic to milk, but drinking it after now not having it for a long time now gives her a bad stomach and also a rash on the inside of her elbows. But if you tested her I'm sure she wouldn't show as having an allergy.

Also - most gluten-free 'replacement' foods (pasta, bread etc.) have MORE calories than their gluten alternative.

Note that people can be allergic (and anaphylactic) to wheat, which is a very different thing to coeliac disease.
For me, the two that are so easy/obvious to me now that I've structured my diet dilligently... acne and joint pain/inflammation.

Besides getting to a healthy weight, the number one thing that keeps my back from hurting is avoiding gluten (or I should be more accurate, products that contain gluten). And to the GP, I spent years losing weight, getting a proper consistent diet going. It's not like the weeks that I cheat and have a slice of cake that I'm gorging myself. I OMAD, calorie count, and pretty much avoid anything with added sugar or preservatives these days. And yet, yes, absolutely, when I've been off gluten for a month I can tell from small isolated doses that its not good for me.

Granted, I'm not sure its actually "gluten" because "cheat" eating bread in Germany does not usually cause me the same problems as eating bread in the states. EDIT: someone in here is commenting about FODMAP. Whether here or elsewhere, you have my attention! Though the food lists I'm seeing don't super align with the symptoms I see, and I don't get IBS from it.
I'm not required to return to the office. Despite having a whole floor rented for us, I rarely go in. It's only 20 min via public transport so time is not a big deal for me. That minimal movement would be even healthy. My main issue is the dining in the area. Mostly office blocks and all options are rather poor in quality. Ordering is also something I don't want because I'm too cheap to pay the premium price.

So yeah, it's almost 6PM, I'm at home and starving still because I was lazy to cook.

I think the reason is my team is fully remote for me. Not having to worry about food would be nice :)
Try spelt products and peppermint tea. If you change nothing about your diet but wheat for spelt (spelt is not gluten free at all) and the problems get less intensive then you don't have gluten sensitivity, you have FODMAP sensitivity.
GPT4 sez:
"This sentence uses figurative language, so it doesn't refer to literal meanings. "Fear" is a stressful emotion induced by perceived danger or threat. "Acute" suggests a sudden onset or intensity. "Moral priapism," a more abstract concept, suggests an abnormally extended or excessive fixated morality, much like the medical condition priapism refers to an unwanted, enduring erection.

Overall, the sentence means that fear can lead to an exaggerated or obsessive moral response. This implies that when someone is afraid, they might stick rigidly to their moral code or make moral judgments more extremely or rigidly than they would in a state of calmness."

seems fair

Edit: My gloss of the summary:
"Fear creates a hardon for scapegoats among the pitchfork wielders."

Programming was more fun before I learned how to import libraries. So many things I wrote from scratch... JSON parsers, distributed K/V stores, optimization algorithms, UI frameworks etc. From 17-21 nobody expected me to be Uber-productive so I just kind of went off and coded these things from scratch for months at a time. Good times.

Baseball cap is a good idea, I wrote on my blog that ANC headphones are not a panacea as they are known to cause fatigue.

Options where basically: Imagine that you have an office that surrounds you, try to feel like you really own your space. -- Also you can shift your working hours slightly so that there are fewer people around. (I recommended going early since there is a perception among managers that "early bird gets the worm" vs "oh he has to stay late because he didn't finish up everything").
I don't want my own office. If I wanted to work in a room by myself, I would work from home. The whole reason I go to the office at a job that lets me choose is because I find it easier to be productive when sitting with my teammates.
Not to mention they've taken to straight up lying on their job descriptions saying they're based in Chicago while having "required to relocate to Madison" in fine print at the end of the ad.

If they previously worked in some expensive city like San Fransisco and had in writing that their work from home arrangement was permanent they could move to a forest somewhere with negligible housing costs and still come out ahead.

Although most people don't work in San Francisco with inflated salaries so I'd still rather not make this the norm.
Is this battery savings from using podman instead of docker for mac or using docker for max with M1/M2?
I think a more fundamental problem for these companies is the actual manufacturing of the vehicles. It's easy (relatively speaking) to develop a one-off prototype, it's much harder to scale that up to build 1000/cars/month for example.
To me the main benefit of GraphViz is to be able output programmatically generate the graph and render it. I've often used it to debug algorithimic issues. It does sometimes randomly segfault of really large graphs.

The one counter is that commercial real estate is way cheaper than it used to be. The potential savings of putting everyone in a full open floor plan aren't as high as they used to be.

(Still don't think it will happen - but that shift occurred when leases on commercial real estate were at all time high)
This isn't exactly true. The blood test and biopsy can _sometimes_ find celiac disease, but it _cannot_ diagnose gluten intolerance/sensitivity.

If you have an intolerance or sensitivity, the blood test will come back negative as your body doesn't produce antibodies indicative of celiac, and your villi remain intact, so the biopsy will show nothing. However, you can still have some incredibly unpleasant side-effects from eating gluten.

Even in folks with celiac disease, it can go under the radar. If you've been eating a gluten free diet prior to the tests, the results can come back negative, but that doesn't mean you don't have it.

Source: I have celiac disease, and it was a pain in the ass to get diagnosed.
It's probably a bit like handling electric wiring. It doesn't look dangerous, until you short the terminals together or touch a high voltage contact.
For me a nicer office would change my mind and I have worked in that office before. Allow me to reminisce:

Was working in DC on Capitol Hill. Had a 30 minute bike ride to work right down the center of the national mall. Had a private office half the size of my apartment with a really comfy couch and a few well worn armchairs. Coworkers brought their dogs and one liked to sit on my feet under the desk. Office was chock full of interesting people, activists, authors, photographers, lawmakers wealthy folks, connected folks. After a few hours working on the databases and maybe getting roped into some tech support in the Capitol building, the CEO would grab a beer from the keg which was the signal for the rest of us that the afternoon had become wet. Then I would meet up with friends for some kickball on the Mall, then swing back through the office after a few hours at the bar for a nightcap. Very occasionally I slept over on the couch but there was a shower in the office and I kept a few changes of clothes there so it was all good.

> It does it by acting as a PostgreSQL proxy. [...] and any writes are forwarded on to "real" PostgreSQL.

What happens if there's a multi-statement transaction with a bunch of writes sent-off to the mothership - which then get returned to the client via logical replication, but then there's a ROLLBACK - how would that situation be handled such that both the SQLite edge DBs and the mothership DB are able to rollback okay - would this impact other clients?
Yes. Management wants to be all about the metrics & KPIs, but then throw in this "open office plan / RTO is needed for collaboration" fuzziness on top.

If you want to be metric driven, it's important that the processes be allowed to fail. Otherwise you are robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the KPI that looks BAD is not where the process is failing necessarily, but where the time got stolen from.
> One microscopic bread crumb and I'll have brain fog for a week.

It's widely known that a bread crumb will have harmful effects if you have celiac disease. A human who has a peanut allergy will have very negative effects from eating a fraction of a peanut.

It's also widely known that foods that are fine for one species can have toxic effects in others. A well-known example is that chocolate is fine for humans (in moderation) but deadly to dogs in similar quantities.

A finding that humans without an allergy or hypersensitivity to it react to wheat gluten with brain inflammation would be big news, as would a finding that a large fraction of the human population has a hypersensitivity.
