Everyone always brings up Emacs with regards to VS Code's remoting features, but I have yet to see anything that supports that it is anywhere close to VS Code.

With VS Code, I can develop across Windows, Docker, Linux, Linux running on WSL, and macOS with zero configuration aside from setting up SSH connection configs and installing the remote extensions with a button click. All the extensions work seemlessly when remoting. My settings also automatically sync by just signing into GitHub.

With Devcontainers, I don't need anything to develop except Docker and VS Code. I simply pull down a repository, open it in VS Code, and then VS Code sets up a container with all dependencies and configuration.

No, Emacs does not have this experience.

And I don't know the technical reasons why VS Code installs on the remote server, but I think it's important to note that you're not just editing remotely but developing remotely.
it's the SOTA for chat(prove me wrong), and you can always use the API directly

even for simple tasks they're less reliable and needs more prompt engineering
If anything it's less productive because people have to parse all that nonsense.

I was gobsmacked to hear a friend say that their work guidance is to use ChatGPT to write letters to external clients for example. I know for sure I'd be insulted if someone sent me paragraphs of text to read created from a sentence long prompt. I'd rather have the prompt, my time is valuable as well.
Definitely pays off to invest more than the minimum required payments over 25 years. Not going to find better non callable leverage.
This is what freedom of speech is all about, not insulting the minorities you dislike.
Oh yeah, and it’s a good article.
Inflation has not been that high over the last two years. That $709/month is due to profit taking, I imagine. Inflation in the U.S. has not exceeded single digits in 40 years, and has been <3% for about a year (slightly over 3% last month).
Makes me wonder what the pay rate is for the Heavy Equipment Operator.

I've driven a truck with a snowplow and operated dozers and excavators and loaders (not quite that scale); to my eye that looks like a delicate job where it'd be really easy to tear a wall down.

More generally it looks like there's lots of jobs like that. "what was that I just snagged and dragged with the blade? if it was important someone will scream soon"

Bet y'all staff includes a Diesel mechanic (or two) who is the equivalent of a John Carmack in their profession
> By manufacturer, nobody comes close to outsellling Apple by an order of magnitude, let alone several.

Fine, I was wrong, a single order of magnitude between apple and everyone else, not several, I still thought apple had 2% of the market instead of 10% now.

So average consumer... hell... 90% of the consumers don't buy apple.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/273495/global-shipments-...

"2022, approximately 286 million PCs were shipped around the world"

Where apple had: 26 million Mac and MacBook units were sold in 2022

> It’s immoral for anyone to create waste

I'm happy you share the same view.

> so perhaps supposed environmental fines should be directly proportional to damage

Apple consumers have proven they don't care about money spent on products, so this would not have any effect. (doubt anyone would notice 100-200$ more on price...)

Best to not have the damage in the first place and force them to come up with better products. (so in essence, force them to use the tax you proposed into designing a better product)
They don't seem a lot cheaper than Aliexpress other than the bundle deals with are the lowest quality stuff.
Kind of implies that OpenAI are lying and using customer input to train their models
Never heard of these, should they have been mentioned?
What about SQL ? Give me a LISP and I can fix the most annoying aspects or twist my own `sqlet` dagger against myself and give me death.
Cloudflare makes this browser which is just a video steam of a browser running on a remote machine. Seems like a brilliant (but expensive) workaround for opening emails on devices connected to sensitive networks.

Exactly. I work in a team that has multiple products so different team member can be working on different products, different priorities, different deadlines and for different stakeholders.
COPY and XCOPY are okay as long as they aren't written to intentionally bypass DRM (they aren't)
Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhivsky receives 8 years for criticizing Russia.

There, I did it.
I'd wager also yes.

> As long as it isn't a bottleneck in common software, a few shifts/masks/add/integer multiply or whatever, are very quick on modern cpus. Often 1-cycle. If not >1 such instructions in parallel per clock.

one instruction takes less cache space than multiple instructions. At worst it might mean fitting vs not fitting hot loop in cache.
This is a logical fallacy. His view on Jews has no effect on whether his statements on nefarious bankers are true.

You can quote me saying 1+1=2, even if 2 is my favorite number.

Now if he’s being misleading and you have evidence of that, then his feeling toward Jews might explain why he is biased
Firstly I'm sorry to hear about your family's situation. I certainly dont mean to imply everything was rosy.

I will compare very roughly and anecdotally across generations. I'm an Engineer (CS). So was my father, though he ended up doing accounting. So was my grandfather (civil.)

My grandfather owned a home by 23 on his engineering salary.

My father owned a comfortable home by 35 on his salary. The salary:homeprice ratio was almost 1.5:1

My salary:homeprice ratio for the same exact house as my father is 4:1. Arguably, i'm better educated than my father and grandfather, and have much better credentials.

Im not trying to be ungrateful for what has been given to me, but the ratios seem completely off.
> GDP isn't a good metric to compare household debt to

It's a fantastic metric to compare aggregate debt to. It isn't the end of the story, which is why I also cited debt payments to disposable income.

American households are not, in aggregate, in a painful or even deteriorating position with respect to their debt. That doesn't mean many households, or even entire regions, e.g. West [1], aren't in pain.

Also he's not currently in Russia.
I definitely never kept my RSUs after they vested. I always diversified them over the six months. I wouldn’t have used 25-30% of my cash income to invest in my company stock. Why would I keep my RSUs instead of selling them?

While I could live off of my base income working remotely in the burbs of Atlanta, there is no way that my friend who had to relocate to Seattle and had two kids and a wife could have managed on the same $160K base.
ahhhh, but they're pasting the 3 page email into ChatGPT ("summarize this"). The future is here.
I don’t. I know I can trust both to do the exact same thing: spy on everything I do, turn any good products into complete garbage, and expect me to just deal with it.
The issue with management (and a lot of jobs really) is that there is no ongoing training. You learn what you learn in school, you subscribe to the belief systems that seem good to you, and that is your dogma for your career. Being able to sit down and rethink your entire management approach requires careful studying of both what you are doing, and what the possibilities even are that you can do. How many managers you know do that, basically chose to become a life long learner in this space? If you know anyone like that, just tie your ship to theirs for the rest of your career if you can. Frankly most people don't care enough to be so self critical.

Remote working takes doing things a little bit differently. Its not more challenging, its just different than what people come to know which seems challenging because they are a greenhorn again in this respect. People have been working in distributed teams or decades now. Some people at this point have probably had entire careers from college to retirement on distributed teams. Its not a new thing, its not an uncharted unknown, its not rocket science. The managers claiming it is have simply given up on learning to manage.

Pardoning Snowden in return for pardoning Glukhovsky would make sense, since neither is currently in captivity.

But both Navalny and Assange are actual political prisoners in similar situations, so couldn't they be swapped & liberated (in exile)? Seems it would benefit the popularity of Western leaders.
So sounds like same problem as we have in USA today - complex system that only works if people follow established conventions in addition to codified laws. Like us, Romans probably thought it was not necessary to call out the obvious and then centuries later their successors disregarded the norms and tore the empire apart.
For a time in the 1950's, Kent cigarettes used asbestos filters.
MRI has proven useful when the ink was made with iron compounds ("oak-gall ink"). But that was used mostly starting a few centuries later.

These scrolls use carbon-based ink with composition much like the paper. But there might still be usable differences.
IMVHO:

- there is almost no need for video, in the sense of looking at someone face;

- we need audio (there since the telephone invention BTW);

- we need ability to share AND PARTIALLY CONTROL (part of) the screen, so we need mechanisms to quickly allow selecting partial controls availability to third party (witch is very hard to get, especially across different platforms);

- we might need to be able sharing paper, meaning documents where someone who do not have an expensive digital whiteboard solution need to write down something because it's quick and simple than try doing the some with some apps and available input devices;

- quick file sharing with many points on how in term of privacy and data leaks risks.

Apart from the audio, most of the rest if it's here it's just partial and/or buggy...

I've already seen curious things of people with a clipboard manager sharing screens AND their clipboard with third parties, with "interesting" data in it, forget do lock file sharing abilities and so on. A tech savvy user rarely do such mistakes but most users do them regularly and for a real remote work model all such things must be there and in good shape.
If you don't want people to learn from your code then don't open source it. Learning via LLM vs person learning is a distinction that sounds unenforceable in practice.
You don’t have the option for the company to just sell enough stock to pay the taxes on the RSUs once they vest?
It's a difficult balance, isn't it? When you're applying to a future opportunity, leaders there will *often* reach out to people in their network who worked with you previously, whether you declared them on a resume or to a recruiter as an official reference or not. That either happens through looking at common connections on LinkedIn, or you came from SomeCo and they know someone in engineering leadership over at SomeCo.

If SomeCo is a huge company then LinkedIn might find a connection who actually knew you, but just "know someone in leadership at Amazon" wouldn't usually get you a hit. Whenever SomeCo is a smaller outfit, the likelihood someone knows of you increases

If whoever you hit up starts the conversation with, "Yeah, that ghusto, er, they weren't the best engineer we had" or even just "I don't think I can give you reference for that person, sorry", your chances of getting the job plummet.

If one person at SomeCo (a larger company) is not going to say you're amazing then the probability of that person being asked might be quite low. If many people at SomeCo (a smaller company) are going to remember that "honest criticism" more loudly than all your other contributions then that is trickier.
They're just making a joke that they don't pay for yt-dlp, so of course they'd be willing to pay a tax of some percent of 0.
Maybe he had PR people handling all his communication before, and after the whole crypto/doge and stock manipulation allegations they decided to step away so as to not get incriminated or otherwise caught up in the investigations?
Another thing is that using ChatGPT for European companies might be in violation with GDPR – Azure OpenAI Services are available on European servers.
It's not the technical poor that suffer the most in the US, it's the next block up, the low income working class.

The US has free healthcare for the bottom ~25%, including the poor. If you are in the low income working group, you're often largely out of luck. Those are the people suffering the most. They often don't qualify for EBT cards, they don't qualify for free healthcare, they don't qualify for housing subsidies, and so on.
You wrote about what "we" need without identifying whom else that statement represents. You may prefer higher-density housing. It may even be the case that a majority of people near where you live prefer high-density housing. This is not a universal preference nor objectively better. Those who do not share your particular taste do not necessarily prefer "living super far away from others" either.

Let's begin by acknowledging the vast middle ground between the two extreme positions and also downsides of population density.

What does utopia look like for mice? According to a researcher who did most of his work in the 1950s through1970s, it might include limitless food (of course!), multiple levels and secluded little rodent condos. These were all part of John Calhoun’s experiments to study the effects of population density on behavior. But what looked like rat utopias and mouse paradises at first quickly spiraled into out-of-control overcrowding, eventual population collapse and seemingly sinister behavior patterns.

Darn I just spent a week or so working on a ChatGPT clone that used Azure ChatGPT API due to the privacy aspect. Wasted effort I guess.
well linkedin, you can also find mailing lists

try to first look at people from your country/close people

idk try to invite a 100 business angels on linkedin with a small intro message like "hey, I'm X from Y, we do Z, we have N users with X revenue, looking for a small investment, would love to chat about it"
Paying off your mortgage early only really makes sense when you're getting close enough to retirement that you need to move more of your money to less risky investments with a lower rate of return.
He's literally the richest man in the world, what?
hoo boy. Astro, I wish I didn't have to know you, but I am even gladder that I don't know the rest of the SSG tools out there.

I needed a project to really kick the wheels of Gen AI as a tool for executing projects. I compounded this choice, by asking a more experienced dev what tools he would learn if he got into web dev today. He suggested Astro and vercel.

Chat GPT ended up helping far less than promised. Also if you want to build a ship in a desert, its not going to ask why, its going to tell you how. Apparently doing design, code, content and art from scratch isnt the optimal way to go. Who knew?

I suspect its significantly easier to pick up if you are working on web dev every day. The point of jumping through additional hoops didn't make sense until it finally clicked.
Once you wrap your head around it, your components start to just work. Ideally like lego. Does make maintenance and management easier.

Either that, Or I am simply sufferring from stockholm syndrome. I don't know.

I did wish there were more templates to learn from.
Is that 10 yotadollars?
The existence of one car under that price doesn't dispove anything. Almost no cars are under 30k.
Is this basically a typical SEO practice?
Page and Brin are shareholders. A counterexample would be if a worker owned business like Igalia was doing RTO (I think they've always been remote & remain so, so they're not actually a good example for or against, just to illustrate).
The exact phrase they previously used on the homepage was "Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021" - so maybe as a finetune?
And how much do you estimate the cost of their early death to be? Their children who mourn and become bitter at the government and their society for not providing life saving surgeries to their parents while the rich preserve their fossilized parents… how much money will you advocate we should spend on propaganda to manage their vulnerable mental state? How much less money do enemies of the state need to spend in order to bring those people over to their cause and betray your government? And when terrorist attacks become worse, how much money will you advocate wasting on an increased police state?

If anything, the $10 million + inflation is an understatement. There’s no end to the potential monetary value of increased quality of life, and there’s no end to the monetary loss of decreased quality of life.
Yes! You can.
Now that is an insane price. I don’t think it even pencils out assuming the daycare is following minimum teacher student ratios and minimum wage, which means there is under the table pay going on or corners being cut somewhere.
Key bits of info here:

> Glukhovsky was found guilty of posting text and video messages on his social media channels accusing Russian soldiers of committing crimes in Ukraine. Prosecutors dismissed Glukhovsky's allegations as fake.

> Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Thankfully he isn't anywhere to be found, hopefully he made it to a safe country.
> I have this terrible feeling that somewhere down the line we're going to get a generation of people who assumed the computer is a 1:1 mapping of Python -- a friend who teaches CS for a major university explained that they're going to teach Python as first language for Computer Science undergraduates starting 2024.

Probably better than starting with C with all its footguns and "optimistic" approach to guessing what programmer meant...
lol they actively discourage you from using multiple accounts, they'll often block you
Conveniently placed on the very bottom of the article. Cheap.
Celebrating a milestone (birthday, graduating, completing a goal) and celebrating qualities that helped reach that milestone are two different things, in my mind.

"Did a good job" is a perfectly adequate milestone to celebrate. Adding qualifiers only introduces the idea of limits, imho. There's no point in setting the bar for someone with unknown potential.
$150 or so. That's my fault because I like to eat good food. However, even then, my bill has gone up about 30% or so. I love coke zero and I have had to cut back, probably for the better, because a 12 pack has not moved off the $10 mark for a year now.

The real killer has been gas, electric, water, property tax, etc.
I like my colleagues. Many of them are my friends. Work is fun because I get to make projects with some of my friends and we get paid for it.
Can you verify the position, hours, benefits, and expectations of those offers?

'Cause I can offer (up to!) $18.50 and then negotiate down. I can also give somebody 10 hours a week and duly provide no benefits. When I worked there they took me on PT no benies, and only after proving myself did they extend an offer for FT employment. PT can be highly flexible as to the definition. Whether it's a permanent or temporary position is also something noteworthy. I think these are just some of the elements we should be considering if we're going to say wages have risen.
What about debt to wages?
It’s a pretty easy problem to solve, just have wages increase automatically on an annual basis in line with changes to the CPI. That would be in addition to any raises due to good job performance or a promotion. Or even on a monthly basis during periods of high inflation. Obviously, companies avoid this simple solution because they make money on the delay between raising the price of the product they sell and when they actually start raising their worker salaries. Ideally, they want you to keep your head down and never ask for a raise.
I write emails and put it into chatgpt and ask it to make it more concise or point out issues. No utility in asking chatgpt to needlessly expand the text...
I think strictly speaking it was an aortic dissection that killed John Ritter, not an aneurysm. Aneurysms grow slowly, and like a balloon, the wall thickness goes down as the vessel circumference increases. So then it can suddenly leak. The aneurysm is chronic (though often asymptomatic), the leak is usually sudden and catastrophic. An aortic dissection is a sudden tear in a usually non-aneurysmal aorta, if the leak goes all the way through it's usually immediately lethal, but often the pressure of blood "dissects" (separates) the inner and outer walls of the aorta, leading to all sorts of weird symptoms, which is why it is often misdiagnosed (A vascular surgeon was once reported to have said about aortic dissection that the "the standard of care is to miss the diagnosis", because it so often mimics other conditions, both benign and dangerous. )
Why? I refinanced in 2021 and my mortgage rate is 1.97% fixed.
Many creative companies don’t own real estate and are looking foward to sunsetting their existing leases to go with something much smaller and easier to manage. In addition to the rental square footage NNN leases and increasing energy and insurance will dove that the RTW push is short-lived as it financially makes little sense.
Tail Sailing
You’re talking about perceived downward mobility within a relatively elite segment of society. I recognize your original comment was about your grandparents, but it’s important to recognize that on average our generation is far better off than our grandparents. Two generations ago, the disparity between the north and south was comparable to the disparity that currently exists between the US and Panama.
Because their pay also increased. People can generally afford higher prices. Real wages have remained remarkably stable in the last few years.

The article itself says this. Somehow, it manages to spin it into bad news.

>Even though prices have soared, real earnings, which adjust for inflation, are stuck at late 2019 levels.

People can afford the same lifestyles they could a few years ago. The US weathered the outbreak of war in Europe and the worst pandemic in generations without serious economic hardship. Somehow, in CNN's view, this is a problem. Real wages haven't been stable. They haven't been resilient. No, they've been "stuck".
Should make one suspicious if the narrative directly or indirectly accuses some kind of "global world elite" playing puppetmaster since this used to be part of Goebbels playbook.

Not accusing the author, but maybe better think twice before making those kinds of assumptions if the easier explanation is: Stupidity. And as we all know, there's plenty of that in management rows.
What ERP are you using?

We've found some early success selling to companies with older "long-tail" ERP's. I've been finding a new one every day.
