I’m amazed by how many people use the word “free” to mean “pay even more tax for the rest of your life.”
It's so wild to me that the code is just... on github. Like, there's something to be said for all the effort going into these technologies and how freely available it is. A few years ago we would think this was almost undistinguishable from magic, and you'd be excused for trying to raise millions of dollars in VC money to turn it into a company.

Now I can just go run that on my computer.

insane.
What is the difference between "making a choice" and "accepting an ultimatum" in the case of an employee working at a company where an RTO policy is enacted?

The only point of a invective like the original article is to try to make people who are perfectly fine commuting into an office feel like they are traitors to some fictitious worker solidarity organization. Like some red-eyed Sauron entity with no motivation other than pure evil in their soul is threatening to steal the food from their babies mouths unless they comply. The blackness and whiteness of this moral viewpoint is extremely toxic.

If you have a strong preference to work from home and your employer springs an "ultimatum" on you then what you actually have is a choice. How you make that choice should be much more nuanced than "asshole exerting power" vs. "dehumanized submission". And if the balance of factors, whatever they may be, lead you to decide to go back to the office - don't let some ideological zealot turn that decision into some moral absolute.
Nintype was absolutely incredible. I still open it every now and then after an iOS update in the vain hope some system change made it less buggy.

hey, looks interesting, do you need to be based on the UK?

I would be more in the willing to learn clojure side with a career focus on the backend

I'm currently based in Berlin, but I'm not nailed here
What makes them inhospitable? Tidal locking?
The main reason projects fail (Old Coder Guy) [video]
4 profanity filled minutes of solid advice on how to be better at the slightly absurd job we call "engineering", or "development" or whatever.

Also, proof that some content from TikTok is un-ironically good (though I've posted a YouTube link to break through people's prejudices).
> For example the number about the 466 million federal loan I believe does not include the fact that it was paid back with interest (so taxpayers made money on that).

Trump is found guilty of fraud, even tho banks made money of his fraudulent deals.
The pain of database migrations is what originally pushed me towards event sourcing. The database is read-only (but immediately mirrors changes applied to the event stream), and I can have multiple databases connected to the same stream, with different schemas.

This makes schema changes easy to perform (just create a new database and let the system populate it from the events), easy to do without downtime (keep the old database available while the new database is building), and easy to roll back (keep the old database available for a while after the migration).

The trade-off is that changing/adding event types now needs to be done carefully (first deploy code able to process the new event types, then deploy the code that can produce the new events), whereas a SQL database supports new UPDATE or INSERT without a schema change.
I really wish Google would enforce proper categorization. Risking missing something on any (somewhat) important app because of the occasional marketing notification seems not worth it to me.
Used my phone's "Hide my identity" feature for the first time to sign up for a relatively well-known service.

Now I'm forever known to everyone on that service as an unintelligible string, since their login flow freezes the name you give them on signup, so I couldnt even fix it if I enjoyed the service.
People in Japan reliably observe societal norms. If a capsule hotel floor is for sleeping and getting dressed, then the only noises you'll hear are people sleeping and getting dressed. Think of the door as a "quiet please" sign rather than a physical light/sound suppressor.

It's almost the opposite of the US, where people take pride in exercising their right to be assholes. Talking in movie theaters, taking speakerphone calls in public, watching videos on phone speakers in airport lounges, etc. are unimaginable in Japan but sadly commonplace here in the US.

In the hotels where I stayed, there were usually little airplane-style vents supplying cool air, so you could reach up to the top of the capsule and dial whatever level of ventilation you wanted. Barely audible.
> People just don't seem to value my time over their convenience a lot of times.

A good tactic is to ask them about rubber duck debugging when they come to you with a problem. If they don't know what that is, have them Google it. If they still come back after that, hopefully they actually have a problem worth more than one person's attention. Otherwise, they should find another job.
Doing studies on this is difficult for many reasons. However, I bet there's a lot of people who noticed a drop in productivity from certain colleagues after the switch to WFH. I personally noticed that the productivity of colleagues with young children dropped significantly, for example.

I really don't think it's a controversial statement that some people work better from home and some people work worse from home. In fact, I'd be extremely surprised if the opposite was true (everyone works better from home, or everyone works better in the office), I'd almost say that's impossible.
Wait, so I’m supposed to write a parser that (maybe) returns a tuple containing (result of parsing, where it came from) and (rest of string)? Why?

I don’t know if it has a formal name, but I’ve generally imagined that a lot of the point of a strong typing system is to make representing valid values straightforward and to make representing invalid values impossible. This is the opposite — valid values are nontrivial — I would have to encode the position by hand, which makes any use of, say, fmap quite messy because I need to either define a more complicated functor (and maybe make consuming a subset of the parse tree and tracking that fact impossible) or manually pass position context through. And invalid values are all to easy to represent: the context could fail to match the returned string length or the returned string could fail to be a suffix.
Just because some jobs can only be done in a specific place, does not mean that people whose job can be done from anywhere should be forced to do the same in solidarity or some nonsense like that.

> So the huge cash reserves of large companies are a brake on the economy which is why all the politicians are so keen to increase corporation tax /s

I don't really understand how increasing corporate tax could encourage corporate spending. It seems to me the opposite is the obvious mechanism. The more money that goes to the government, the less money a corporation has to put into the economy. If the corporation is in a "save" mode, they're more likely to spend less if they are taxed more than they are to continue the same spending and save less.

Maybe that's not what you're saying or maybe the effect is different than I'd expect (economics is weird sometimes) but I don't get your point there.
Again, from the article:

>But in the long run, this is almost certain to hurt China’s image in the world. Back when the money was flowing, the countries of the Global South saw China in a highly positive light — after all, the West’s money always comes with strings attached.

>But because the Belt and Road was so ill-conceived, this warm fuzzy feeling always had an expiration date. Now that the Belt and Road has basically failed, and the cash faucet has been shut off, delight at China’s seeming largesse is clearly going to be replaced with resentment and distrust. Acting like a mafia loanshark is not generally a way to win friends and influence people.
>Personally, I’d prefer smaller offices with hotel space and generously equipped collaboration space.

Doesn't everyone, you know, hate this kind of stuff? I know I do.
The key thing here is specifying 8Gb RAM as minimum spec and branding it accordingly.

What's hurt Chromebook's reputation is people buying discounted/value priced 4Gb ones, struggling with performance and concluding it's a terrible platform.

I'm intellectually curious what the experience of web-based video editing and Photoshop are like for anyone that actually needs to use these tools as part of their repeat workflow.
OME-zarr doesn't really storage per-pixel illumination data. Instead, the illumination will typically be storaged as a per-2D-plane metadata.

Flat fields, dark fields, and light fields can all be stored but would be their own arrays (structure of arrays rather than array of structures).
You can do a lot of these fully locally with things like RVC web ui or https://tryreplay.io/
I hate it.

My little hobby projects that I write end up getting flagged by all these ML AV systems and I don't seem to have any recourse against it as a developer.

It causes issues and general confusion by my albeit small communiy of users.
An argument can be made that participating in the stock market and participating in post-HS education are participating in "peak society". Peak society arm 1 should lend a hand to peak society arm 2.
There was nothing in GP's post that indicated they thought this (and for me personally, that doesn't even compute, as I see no connection).
the qualification is probably "use a reading light indoors"

I like reading on an e-ink reader - in a chair with a reading lamp. (but this is in my lap, not trying to be a desktop environment)
> By making the 1% richer through reduced taxation is actually economically harmful in the long run and reduces economic mobility. Same as politicians supporting budget cuts.

This is assuming zero govt. corruption.

Also, the 1% don't save. They invest. Which would have created the coffee shop in the first place.

Yeah, exactly. This almost certainly isn't malicious, simply incompetence.

I used to be work on a remote IT administration product. To be completely fair it is a foreign systems component that updated over the Internet with a goofy looking binary if you're expecting MSVC to build everything since that code was written in Go.

On the other hand, it was signed properly, and the AV vendors couldn't give two shits about not flagging it despite their customers loudly complaining. It was really rough because when AV would flag this component, IT in a lot of cases couldn't get back in to mend the pieces left.
A $300 Chromebook is more than enough for 90%+ of the population, but it's really the marketing that gets them to spend 5-10x as much on fancier hardware. No one needs an M2 Max chip to browse Facebook/Reddit and write Google docs.
Okay, what's the downside this time?
Counterpoint: why would we EVER return to a born-crappy status quo?

No secret that the answer is: to privilege the anxious social needs of those uncomfortable working remotely. And those whose career is on the hook for over-investment in trophy real estate.
There is. Replying. If there already is a disagreeing reply, you can upvote that. Downvoting a constructive and well-written post just because you disagree is not justified.
That is still a subsidy, no? It's money that materially improved the health of the company. Does everyone and every company who wanted 466 millions had it available? And was the interest and other loan conditions market rate?
You are right, but at least the quality was reliably poor! Today, you'll spend several minutes ask someone to fix their microphone. Eventually they realize it's not even connected to their computer.
> was a game changer

The game changer was multimedia encyclopedia. You can have a lot of text on compressed 3.5", but having a digital sound and video was the main selling point.

An example of Encarta 94 video:

I remember a vocal group predicting the economic bubbles would burst while pointing to them growing for a while. The only real disagreement was on when not if.

While no one has a crystal ball it was known pre pandemic that bubbles were there and unsustainable and not far from being at bursting levels.

I know many in my circle were talking about when the dominoes would fall and which ones would topple which others in 2020-2022 as the pandemic raged on. The inevitable outcome of the social supports on top of the economic bubbles happening and then both likely ending at similar times was predictable in anyone thinking in longer terms than the next quarter and next fiscal year.

Meanwhile CEOs took advantage of conditions to go on insane M&A deals, hiring sprees and personal project schemes with little framework for any of that succeeding long term, and burning tons of cash with stock buybacks to keep up with the expected growth targets.

Once the 'Bubble' everyone saw about to burst met the realities of the pandemic and costs rippled through supply chains no one should have been surprised. Unfortunately the tech segment is way too much follow the leader/money right now and once the few big names start moving it happens regardless of it being good or bad.

I'm really curious and hoping you could just clarify what you mean by "address". Is there a thing that needs to be changed? Or a message that needs to be clarified?
It saddens me because of how much impact they had on my family as we played through the story line in Genshin and immersed in the world. At some point we met a few of the voice actors at a convention and they were like stars to us, while I'm sure their circumstances are as you describe.
Yep, in macOS Sonoma (14.0) and iOS/iPadOS 17.0).
But then if I type "á" directly (through, say, a mobile keyboard) and hit backspace, I'd get "a", which doesn't seem terrible but does feel a little off.

Seems like the right answer for codepoints vs graphemes, unfortunately, is dependent on the context.
>ms auth is apparently mostly compromised

just gonna drop that like that aint a $10k+ implication, gonna need a src or ref thanks

unless you mean by 3letters, which dont exactly give their backdoors to randoms.

randoms aint coming across 3letter's backdoors, not active/modern ones anyway
> If you have a mechanism for “only the most essential notifications”, then they simply mark all their notifications as “essential” (looking at you Uber)

then perhaps Apple should say to them “either don’t mark these kinds of notifications as essential, or you get removed from the App Store”?
Without knowing anything about this, I wonder if standards are trying to work at the wrong level of abstraction. Like worrying about whether to use GIF or PNG to compress map images, when really it would be better to standardize the underlying data like OpenStreetMap. A better goal might be to decide on a single container format for discrete cosine transform (DCT) data in compressed images like how JPEG works.

We probably need a multidimensional lossy compression scheme for 2D images, 3D volumes/video, and 4+D metadata involving multiple spectrums, exposures, etc. I'd probably start with a multidimensional DCT with a way to specify the coefficients/weights of each layer and metadata (optionally losslessly):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform#Mult...

Looks like that's built into MATLAB with dct(x,n,dim):

https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/dct.html

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/blockproc.html (coefficients)

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/discrete-cosine-transf... (2D example)

Then store the data in zipped JSON or BSON, or maybe TAR then ZIP.

Then I'd write an importer and exporter from/to all of the other formats, with a single 0-1 quality argument or maybe an array of qualities for each layer, with a way to specify coefficients or load them from files.

Once a known-good implementation worked, I'd add additional compression schemes that can compress across dimensions, so that a level of zoom only has to save a diff from a previous layer at a slightly different scale or focus (like a 3+D MPEG format, this is probably the standard that we're currently missing, does anyone know of one?).

This all seems fairly straightforward though, so I wonder if proprietary software patents are the real blocker..
In theory. After 15 years, the best most of us in Ontario have is a “4h delay” on a dishwasher and discounted (not free) smart thermostats that you have to install yourself or pay an installer for. I suppose electric cars do a good job here at least.

And this is in new construction.

Overall, it didn’t (and may never) make financial sense to put light users on smart/time of day metering.
Average median vs average mean

The median US household entering retirement age has saved about $120k-$150k. That is, over 50% of people are more or less 100% reliant on social security to get by in retirement.

The mean US household savings at retirement age is like closer to $500k, because it's overwhelmingly top heavy in the 1%/0.1%/etc of people.
“Hostile fork”? Truecrypt was abandoned. The creator released a “decrypt only” version and recommended all users switch to different software.

From what I understand, Veracrypt just continued development where Truecrypt left off
Reading requests is not burdensome. It's just feedback.
Also because NTFS is just... slow.
“People” didn’t have any consensus on whether masks work. And let’s not forget the way media and governments flip-flopped on the issue.
"The discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 planets drew widespread attention in major world newspapers, social media, streaming television and websites.[302][303] As of 2017, the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 led to the largest single-day web traffic to the NASA website.[304] NASA started a public campaign on Twitter to find names for the planets, which drew responses of varying seriousness, although the names of the planets will be decided by the International Astronomical Union.[305]"

From the wiki on Trappist 1 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAPPIST-1

I think the public interest in it might be driving it? 40 light years is also kinda near to us, which might make it more interesting than Sun like systems if these are 100+ light years for example, if we were to want to do something about a possible detection.

Edit0: We don't know much of what conditions drive the genesis of life or where it might survive, so I'm not entirely sure that looking at red dwarves are a waste of time in a search for life.

They are also doing fundamental work in clearing up the influence of the star on their measurements!
I didn't say it was bad faith.

Responding to the call to flag the post, I gave examples of impact, and why it's newsworthy and the post shouldn't be flagged just because Microsoft stopped the behavior after the damage had been done.
