unfortunately management is not a deterministic science, which is why most online content is repetitive and very superficial, often giving advices like "talk about life".
Every time you have to deal with people it's a unique problem because it has to do with so many variables like company culture, quality of roadmap, internal/external pressure, deadlines, internal/external stakeholder, coworkers...etc.
All of this combined with the manager's personality and attitude makes it hard to give a recipe that fits in a blog post.

I was fully expecting and not at all surprised that the mask mandate ended, as the same happened too soon a century ago with influenza.

I recognise my own near total comfort with masks is unusual.

But, despite recognising that other people don't find them entirely comfortable, I find that discomfort surprising and confusing — to me, masks are literally just a piece of clothing, no more of an issue than a hat or a shirt or trousers, and I've had more discomfort from ties and the necks of button-up shirts they go with.
You did the right thing no doubt.

However your experience seems to prevent you from seeing the bigger picture.

"Popping pills" is probably chosen not because people don't want to solve problems and change their lives. It is probably because it is only available solution at that time to actually function as a person and member of the society.

It is great that you had money and event time to go to therapy for 6 months as new parents. A lot of parents of newborns will simply not be able to afford it both financially and because of time constrains. Did you bring your new born to the therapy? How much did it cost? Would every single mother be able to afford 6 months of therapy? Some middle-lower class family? Some family in very rural area? Please try to see a bigger picture here and befriend more people from different paths of life.

People take pain medication for back pain not because they don't want to fix their backs. If anybody could fix their back today instead of taking pills they would do it.

Sorry to hear that you had PPD but glad you were able to get help and feel better. I had a child around the same time and I can empathize with your experience. It's a wonderful time but can also be very overwhelming, especially for a first child (which is the case for me). It's like you take a major life change, natural anxiousness about your kid (are they hitting all their development milestones, eating enough, getting enough sleep, sleeping too much, etc, etc, etc) and mix in a big dollop of sleep deprivation.

> New dads: if you feel unusually down, anxious, frustrated, angry, or depressed, consider talking to your PCP about treatment. Taking medication is not an admission of failure. Being a father is tough, but it shouldn't feel impossible.

I think it is fairly clear to most people that moving to carbon-free technologies is usually bad for their future profit/utility/quality of life. Thats because the individual person/city/state/country won't have much impact on climate change alone, so they'll have the downside/cost of moving to green tech, without the climate benefits.

For it to have benefits, everyone has to do it. And getting everyone to do something costly worldwide for the benefit of others is hard. Basically the only way it's going to happen is if the west decides it's a good idea, and puts sanctions (backed with military threats) on any country that doesn't comply. So far, there is no appetite for such an approach, and therefore climate change won't be solved.
Oh please, sharks do not need your defense.

My biggest professional regret is not joining Mullvad when their founder emailed me.

A seriously large chunk of their values aligns with my own, and it's woefully few technical enthusiasts that continue to place liberty over convenience -- meaning most of us tend to use hyperscaler cloud providers under the purview of the US Government. -- and before anyone mentions it; yes that has been an issue for me in my professional career as the cloud providers must adhere to US sanctions, meaning if you are from Cuba, Iran or Crimea you can't play the games I made. -- which is annoying because you could buy our game legally in Russia and Ukraine, but if you happened to be in occupied territory then no play time for you.

Sidetracked a bit, but it's really refreshing from the outside to see a company that isn't scummy that values liberty.
The sheer amount of variables for what makes a good manager in what situation is mind boggling.

I was a manager a while back, then back to an engineer at another company and now I’m an engineering manager at a new one. I think there are soft skills that have translated well across the roles but each business has needed a different managerial approach.

There might be really niche blogs out there about managing in certain environments but I can’t say I actively search them out.
> and contact a third-party internet server with a personal identifier such as an email address.

As has been pointed out. It is not sending the email address as plaintext, but it is sending a hash of that email address. Unfortunately this is almost as bad, is not enough to prevent the actual email address being identified - de-anonymisation is feasible in a constrained search space such as "standard email address formats such as first.last@company.com".

It is not GDPR compliant:

> Personal data which have undergone pseudonymisation, which could be attributed to a natural person by the use of additional information should be considered to be information on an identifiable natural person.

Then there's a "known unknown" of running some closed source, obfuscated binary on your build server. The SolarwWinds supply-chain hack got in via TeamCity so this is a Hard No from a security point of view.

> There are many, many situations in life where you can do everything right and still not win

Yet the only way to give yourself a chance to win is to take part. If you sit at home and feel resentful, you definitely won’t build a billion dollar company, or win the lottery for that matter.

The other issue is, the people who actually DO succeed work extremely hard to do so. They are lucky, yes, because it worked, and there are 10 others who didn’t succeed, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t work hard to get there.

Just like there are 100 losers in an Olympic sport for every gold medal winner, the other 99 worked incredibly hard too.

For e.g. the SID, where a bad implementation might work but affect the sound, you might have a point, but for the CIA's this a meaningless purity test and sophistry.

Put another way: You can pull an 8520 from an Amiga and put it in a C64 and most users will never know the difference (been there, done that, horrified my parents who saw me involved in surgery on our two computers) because most C64 software never uses the clock function of the 6526. As long as it provides the IO functions you mostly rely on, most users will never know nor care about the difference.
Slavery, war, genocide....
What do they do about the SID?

For younger folks, the SID is the sound chip of the C64. It's infamous for being partly an analog circuit. That is, it uses transistors in states between 0 and 1, as you would in a transistor-based amplifier, or an analog radio. This gave the sound of the C64 its unique texture.

My understanding is that this behavior is impossible to reproduce with modern chip fabrication techniques, so what's the solution? Digital emulation?

I can't speak to the UK, but in the US a lot of people claim to have long term health to access to disability benefits when the jobs disappear from their towns. The most common disabilities are ones which are the most difficult to disprove (depression, back pain). In Appalachian towns where this is more common, law practices make tons of money representing disability claims in court, getting paid by a % of the disability claim each month if they win

Shadow gets away with it just fine (still do not recommend, Haswell CPUs in 2023 for that monthly price are a joke they only tell you about afterwards). NVIDIA made the mistake of advertising games as "working on GeForce Now" and restricting what runs in their cloud in the first place - probably out of fear someone would run a miner instead of games.

Activation limits were extremely unpopular during their time 10-15 years ago and have mostly been removed from old games. I don't think that's coming back. They really have no reason to object to their game being run from Stream/Epic either. The main complainant back then was from Hinterland (who make The Long Dark) who was more morally outraged than concerned with lost revenue or such.

I can see how it's a moral grey area to namedrop games in an advertisement like that too. Imagine NVIDIA printing some game's art on a GPU box. They should've just logged you into Steam/Epic/GOG and let you do your thing.

Because some smokers are addicted to nicotine, and can't stop even though they know it's what's killing them, and even knowing that an open flame near an oxygen line is a fire danger that will kill them quicker.

I don't know any dump-takers with an addition like you describe, so think you have failed to understand my point.

Other addicts are similar. If a homeless alcoholic tells you his life was ruined by his addition to alcohol and that you shouldn't take his path, then takes another swig out of his beer, is that really hypocritical virtue signaling? Or is it truthful advice?

If a heroine addict, in a drainage culvert preparing another dose, looks up at you when you walk by and says "stay off heroin, kid, it will fuck up up" - is that really hypocritical virtue signaling? Or are you going to join him?

If you think all of that is 'virtue signaling', then we have a fundamentally different understanding of what that term means.

Super-rich people are addicted to wealth. They love it. Even when they know their lifestyle is bad, they don't want to give up, even though they could.

Look at them - even their charity work mostly serves [1] to glorify their power and prestige, and whitewash their moral crimes [2].

Every time you think of Bill Gates, of Elon Musk, of Al Gore, remember that they are addicts to wealth, unwilling to give up their addition. And to be clear, I'm not saying I could either, had I their money.

Tax them all, heavily, until they are merely rich - say, $10 million. Provide social workers to help them live a normal life. Get them off their addiction [3].

[1] The two counter-examples I am considering are Dolly Parton and MacKenzie Scott. Scott's philanthropy in particular highlights how the super-wealthy really are more interested in control than giving.

[2] Carnegie, to start a very long list.

[3] The cleverer of them say they need the influence which comes with their wealth to change things for the better, like Warren Buffett and the "Buffett Rule", so can't give up their wealth unilaterally. Let's help those poor sods by taxing them.
