There are two issues in the psychology of employers that keep them from doing this.

1. They care more about control than doing the right thing.

2. They don't get satisfaction from improvements that don't come directly from their doing

Very stringent quotas, asinine team building activities, and of course, mandatory in-office policies construct a narrative for the company that no good thing that happens is from anywhere but the top-down. They can look at improvements in the bottom line and concoct a much more salient narrative that they were responsible for it; that their employees were nannied and hand-held to success. It's much more satisfying for an egomaniac to reckon with this conclusion than the still gratifying albeit less viscerally satisfying one that granting workers respect and independence will merit the best outcomes.

Honestly, I thought it made more sense to measure it that way if you're trying to work out the electricity bill.
The ICC is independent of the UN. Also its treaty based so you have to consent to its juridsiction at least once (or have the UN security council give it juridsiction) so of course there are no consequences for countries that haven't signed up. Anyways this is a really bad example (you are probably trying to reference invade hauge act, but even still that doesn't fit.

US does ignore UN in other ways, but the ICC isnt an example of that.
I understand the theory. I just hope I will live long enough to see a winner in this race.

To be honest, I've been interested in the domain for quite a time and I still want to build a fusor or a polywell at some point just to see it glow. Probably won't happen though.
People around me didnt buy the newest phones for benchmarks then either. They just wanted to have the last one, maybe a better screen or better camera, more storage or radio but cpu was way down the list.
I think there is a time and a place for everything. I use concurrent.futures in certain situations when I need to utilize threads/procs to do work in a very rudimentary and naive way. But in more sophisticated systems you want to control startup/shutdown of a process.

TBH, assuming your stack allows it, gevent is my preferred mechanism for concurrency in Python. Followed by asyncio.

For places where I really need to get my hands dirty I will lean on manually controlling processes/threads.
Putting the Expo vs. React Native debate to rest
I am encountering this exact same issue. My instructions are repeatedly ignored and it falls back to a "preferred" approach after a single useful response. I have practically memorized the disclaimers attached to the end of every response.
Rumsfeld personally advanced the de-baathification directive - the lynchpin of the clusterfuckery - all on his own, and he certainly would have known to expect the 'unexpected' results to be similar to de-nazification. This was absolutely his choice. Another point you have (unintentionally?) brought up is the dignified resignation option. While it is often a naive, self-serving gesture, we can reasonably imagine that the Defense Secretary publicly resigning over opposition to a war during the public consideration of that war, might have had some effect on whether that war was started. I want to like him too, with his grandfatherly demeanor and genuine funnyness ("My god, were there so many vases?!") but, come on.
With linked controls the captain would have instantly been able to tell what inputs the copilot was making and could have taken appropriate actions.

Aircraft UX should be made in such a way that there's never the slightest of doubts about something as fundamental to its function as where the inputs that its using are coming from.
I'll support you there. In any sensible reading of Nuremberg, they all deserve to hang from the neck until dead. But the central moral failure was Bush. Letting Cheney hijack the vp search, and then pairing him up with Rumsfeld was a bad move, and obviously bad at the time. Those two had established themselves as brilliant but paranoid kooks with their Team B fantasies in the 70s, and should never have been allowed free rein.
You don’t, that’s the problem.
That sounds like what I've always said about make. :)

The example isn't very good or maybe I didn't get it. The girlfriend concedes that the guy is right (and obviously doesn't care) but tells him the framing is wrong and he should be thinking about the thoughtfulness angle, not worrying that the underlying industry is a scam. As someone who rants about stuff a lot, I recognize the discussion. Nobody cares that you think the entire X industry is a scam, they want to have a simpler discussion.
China and the United States are so dependent on each other that neither country will ever get out of debt nor will either country ever "recall the debts for cash payment" as this would be almost impossible to actually do, and likely to crash the world economy, but both countries are constantly importing and exporting goods to each other and the world.

If these two countries lacked a demand for each other, if unemployment was so bad that nothing was being produced, than maybe it might crash. As we saw during COVID-19, supply and demand issues took place, as well as an eventual instability within the stock market, some of it may have been caused by China, but everything eventually recovered.

China has a huge investment in other Asian countries and they hopped on to development for a lot of African countries, often sending their own people to work there and providing loans that may be somewhat almost impossible for those impoverished countries to pay back, so the Chinese workers send money back home, where it is spent within the walls of China.

China has a habit of trying to keep their money within and only spending on their own economy... its just a communist way of thinking, despite the fact that they opened pandora's box several decades ago, but without doing that, they probably wouldn't have advanced technology or the massive infrastructure they do.

While there may be some actions or events that might cause supply and demand issues, it just seems very unlikely that China or the American economy is going to come to a complete crash, though over the next decade, China is facing an aging population that may reduce the workforce for some time.
The USA have initiated one of the biggest denouncement campaigns in its very history against this man. Nobody sane would have not fled in that situation.
If Blink and Chrome were to be spun out, it should probably be into something like a non-profit organization funded by sponsors, with a model similar to that of Blender. The only difference is that given Blink/Chrome's dominance, it'd be necessary to bar Alphabet and other companies with overwhelming power in web tech from becoming sponsors to help prevent conflict of interest.

This could have the effect of normalizing corporate investment in FOSS web engines and browsers, which could benefit Mozilla as well.
I agree with your sentiment, but even enterprises work on multiple “tall” features.

If they didn’t then I’d change my advice to be simply multi tenant per customer and replicate into a column store for cross customer analytics.

What advice would you give for a “wide” application?
I'm confused. Since O(log n) is faster than O(n) why would O(n) require a little more work? Did I misread something or did you miswrite?
Firstly; I want to mention how extremely difficult it is to admit that you've been misled. It requires basically removing all stigma from being conceivably wrong then coldly looking at the facts. Most people simply cannot not do this as it triggers the same sections in the brain as a pain response; they will instead simply pick a side (usually the first one they hear) and not alter their opinion much. So if you are able to coldly assess the facts and you come up to the same conclusion - then I applaud you, that's more than most can do.

However, some minor facts:

1) He was in Hong Kong when he blew the whistle, which as much China as Puerto Rico is the USA - its a special administrative region, there is a strict border when travelling to Szhenzen.

2) Whats your transit strategy if the US is trying to get you?

Finally; that something is nice for an enemy doesn't mean that it shouldn't see the light of day, for example if your favourite fast food owner rapes a bunch of women but the company he represents is basically the only thing standing up to a big chain, well, unfortunately, you have to own up to it; not doing so is worse for everyone, including you as you are now complicit.

Frankly: Laws were broken and the governments of the allied countries (colloquially: 5Eyes) should petition the law to be changed if that's what they require and it should go through our democratic system.

You cant claim to be a democracy and then not permit your democratically elected leaders oversight or intentionally mislead them under oath, as General Alexander has knowingly proven to have done in the leaks.
They are referring to the "s" query parameter which is a short ID referring to the next piece of video/audio stream. This is a good explanation: https://torrentfreak.com/deciphering-youtubes-rolling-cypher...
The information is useful, but rudimentary. The thing to remember about phase in acoustic systems is that, as long as you're driving your transducers (speakers) at the correct polarity (+/-) vs. (-/+), you're probably good. Acoustic frequencies are low so the lengths of acoustic waves are hundreds of meters long. Small phase differences from a local transducer become irrelevant. Phase differences between transducers distributed over a larger area can be a concern, and can be automatically corrected for a specific location with modern DSP/equalizers.
Spacelift co-founder here. To some extent I understand where you're coming from, but there are important points to make here.

Terraform itself is not a product (Terraform Cloud is), it's a language, similar to Go with which it's built. Building on top of a language does not imply the necessity of contributing to the language itself. In fact, it was very hard to contribute to hashicorp/terraform because PRs were not getting accepted, not even reviewed, just closed by a bot.

I believe both us and our competitors contributed to the ecosystem and the community by building providers, modules, tools (like env0's excellent Terratag), reproducing and reporting bugs, or evangelizing best practices.

The way I see this move is as if Go was still owned by Google and one day Google decided it would change its license to ban any companies building anything that Google calls competitive from using the language.
> One thing that is however funny is the guilt tripping used by employers who have this straw-man version of a lazy WFH employee

Which is also a hilarious self-own on the part of the company because they:

1.) hired the person

2.) have such a shitty remote work structure that the same employee is somehow more productive in the office

All of these companies that aren’t remote first, or were forced into remote because of the pandemic have put in roughly 0% effort to make remote actually work.

It’s not like you can just pick up the office culture and move it to slack. You have to actually make an effort to build the process, tools, and workflows that allow employees to be effective remote workers.
I honestly think it's mostly a huge ego boost to flex with. "Look at how GIANT our new billion dollar HQ is, and look at all of these people working for ME!"
That only makes sense if the employees in question don't produce anything measurable
Even if your firm isn’t exposed to real estate, its probable that a lot if its shareholders are and are interested in ending the slump in commercial real estate.

Plus, while the overall employment situation is strong, the tech downsizing wave may not be over and if you can get people to self-select out, you can maybe avoid having to officially have layoffs.
Even if you pay me 2.5x. I don't want to. I like living out there. No traffic, no people around me. I walk outside an I'm in the desert. Solitude.
There are many things that can be done to protect children, all with varying levels of effectiveness and burdens.

Forcing porn distributors to stop providing their content to children and to publish health disclosures is one of the most basic things that can and should be done. But I agree it shouldn't stop there, and on-device censorship could be another tool that legislators use. However, I think you're underestimating the burden and difficulty of rolling out such technology, and overestimating the effectiveness and legislators' ability to mandate it.
> The very _complexity_ of it somehow feels subtly wrong, like doubling down in the wrong direction.

This made me think of modern jet fighters being designed to be aerodynamically unstable, making them all but impossible for human pilots to operate without flight computers. Apparently the maneuverability benefits make the added complexity more than worth it.

In question 26, with the overlapping colored circles, aren't answers A and B ambiguous? In the original drawing, it isn't possible to tell whether the black circle on the right is over or under the wider blue circle, and this is the only difference between answers A and B.

All these unrelated issues are just extra failure modes that don't exist with HDD.

But because it's software that caused the loss of all your data and it can be patched, it doesn't really count as a "failure" in hardware terms.

Just the bad pilot is what I had in mind
That might get more people back to the office, but still probably not the majority of them. I have a 1-2 hour commute each way to the office. I did it for three weeks while I was not staffed on a project, but as soon as I got staffed on another project I stopped going to the office.

My commute sucks, the office environment is way inferior to my home, and the lack of flexibility sucks. The only thing I looked forward to while I was commuting was trying out a new restaurant in the big city for lunch. I was practically pulling my hair out of boredom the last two hours every day (had work I could and did somewhat do, but I could no longer focus on it because I was so sick of the office).

Them giving me my own office at work wouldn't change anything.
They are trying, but ARM is suing and demanding that the cores that are faster than ARM cortex ones be destroyed.
That is so strange. In fact the entire section 3.3 of the license is inscrutable as far as I'm concerned.
So, first of all, the entire point of the GP was that Apple would be slow to implement this. Clearly that is not true.

But also JFC, it is amazing how the moment it is pointed out that Apple is already doing a thing that's being railing at, and the reaction shifts from outrage to basically "I wonder what amazing and important reason they have for doing this" and "nobody but Apple can possibly be allowed to benefit from this because monopoly".

Apple's stated reason is exactly the same as Google's. To make a privacy-preserving anti-abuse signal for browsers. Apple need it because they are piping their best customers' traffic into what is basically an open sewer of IP reputation (Apple Private Relay), and need a way to avoid said customers giving up in disgust due to the high rate of captchas. Google need it because they want to remove all fingerprinting vectors, and need privacy-preserving replacements for legit use cases.
> Ellison’s testimony claims that the fraud between FTX and Alameda took place as early as 2019 and Trabucco joined Alameda the same year.

Wait. No. The OED is descriptive of English (UK only?) but is not prescriptive. They don't tell people what to spell or what they need to mean. They describe the spelling and meaning as it is being done. This is why there are new words that get added every year. It's not as if OED sit around and think of new words.

I'm not arguing if the OP is right or not but I don't think the OED example is correct.
The W3C's draft vision statement [0] clearly states:

> Aim to reduce centralization in Web architecture, minimizing single points of failure and single points of control.

IMO it is entirely in scope for, and part of the responsibility of, the W3C to introduce a specification that explicitly forbids user agents from implementing Web Environment Integrity or any similar system as currently drafted.

One might say that the members' conflicts of interest make it likely that they will abdicate this responsibility, but that doesn't make it any less their role!

Ops, 100 ( 1 millionths of a meter) is a much more reasonable tolerance here than 1 / (100 millionth) of a meter.

I am to used to people saying 100 millionth of a meter to mean 10 nm or 0.01 µm which would have looked insane if I had written that.

Aka 100 millionth vs 100 millionths
It would to me. Any employer who wouldn’t negotiate on something like this for a job that does not require being in-office is potentially toxic.

Commuting can be expensive and even potentially dangerous. Car, insurance, gas, dangerous traffic, time wasted driving at least 2x a day.

There’s also the potentially unproductive office environments: loud, annoying co-workers, constant interruptions, etc.

RTO has costs, WFH has benefits and employers who don’t recognize that should be shunned. If the reason they require you to come back is because they wisely rented office space and didn’t even consult the employees on whether the workers would return, that should tell you how much you can trust management and how much they value you as an employee.
I think a lot of weak tech leaders took their RTO clues from Elon. When Elon took over twitter he started a very successful anti-programmer propaganda campaign, calling us spoiled, overly pampered, overly paid, etc.
Makes sense. I would love to see a blog post with some progress pics, but I understand that building a fusion reactor is simply a slow process!
It’s just a bad example. The Oxford Dictionary is just a publication of Oxford University Press. A popular one perhaps, but fundamentally no different than a Webster’s, or even say a Random House. Even giving it authority as a speller is suspect, since as an American, I can say with confidence that Oxford doesn’t know how to spell.

A better example would be a language academy, however English has never had a language academy, unlike French or Spanish, resulting in it being a stubbornly descriptivist, rather than prescriptivist phenomenon.
I am 1,000% with Chuck...

My best, most productives were in offices with doors and one other space-mate and we both liked the door closed and the light off. I rebuilt Compaq 4U rackmount servers in the dark in that office. I loved it.

I hated Intel cubes - even though the cube was ~7' tall and the ceilings were ~13' - they still sucked. (I forgot the humble brag ;; my cube and Pee Schedule was right next to Andy Grove - and for who-knows we always ended up peeing next to eachother (never spoke)

But I never went to my cube next to his (SC5)

And we just ran the game lab... (golden gaming of my life (about to start BG3) - but yeah I have had surreal tech experiences in my life...

I've hated every open office. (fb being the worst)

The WAYMO campus should just be little auto-driving "cubicle pods" that roam around and find the magnettic connection to the person you want to talk to and you both agree to meet - and then on the SmartMAC (like tarmac) the little pods just route you to eachother and dock.

My understanding is that the default federal rule is that you forfeit for any violation, but that the judge has discretion to decide otherwise.

I doubt you'll see movement on, for example, the parents' house, but I could imagine the monetary portion being forfeited.

(Edit: and I've read since posting that there will be no forfeiture here)
I suppose that any number of twists would be OK, but the more twists, the less efficient ?

Is that what you are saying ? Or are there other constraints on the number of twists (e.g. must be odd, ...)

Only this would make me consider going back to the office: a 5 hour workday, paid as 8. The 3 remaining hours would be compensating for the commute, which includes the time to get dressed. Commuting costs and food should be compensated as well.

Nothing else. Even with the above, I would still prefer a hybrid or remote positions as long as I have a choice.

Standing on a crowded train is not something I want to do every day (once a week is plenty), there is simply nothing the company can offer to make me reconsider.
at home, sure, but not in public.

remember that joke about a someone in an airplane sitting next to a black person, complaining loudly that they want to sit somewhere else. the stewardess comes over and says: "my apologies, it is of course unacceptable that you should have to sit next to such an obnoxious person". and then invites the black person into first class to everyones applause.
Not to mention the people who have children at home, and the massive savings of not having to pay for daycare. That's major.

Huge, GPU heavy SoCs are not economical without the huge volume, software ecosystem and margins of Apple.

Smaller, higher clocked SoCs make sense for Android.

And seperate CPUs+dGPUs are what users want on PCs. Intel and AMD tried to sell GPU heavy designs (eDRAM Broadwell, Vega M, Van Gogh (the Steam Deck SoC)) and PC OEMs unequivocally rejected them. And they are trying to make better cores, but again they have to balance die area and target servers and cheap consumer PCs with the same cores.
