That was the first thing that drew my eye. And it raises some questions for me.

Doesn’t it take like a year to register a trademark? If this is a fresh new startup are these things actually even trademarked?

And can you even trademark a common word like this? Is the trademark the word in that particular font?

And finally, what is the point?
I actually chatted this with our HR lady, and her advise is:

You do not need be sick, you can just take a break when you feel like it, so sick day really should be called "wellness day" instead.

If we rename 'sick day' to 'wellness day', I'm sure more people will take it.
You're not wrong saying that javascript is pretty much mandatory, but it's more de facto. To come out and mandate it would be wrong.

Unfortunately the web is in a state that's worse than just javascript... it's regressed into only supporting certain browsers cough chrome cough. Just one example (i've got more personally) from recently: you can't book flights in air india's website with firefox, but it works in chrome.
No, vacation is paid time off so you can enjoy life. Not so you don’t have a mental breakdown at work.

Put differently, mental health is health too.
Not to mention that apparently we're supposed to compare that to storing on your local harddisk. Isn't local storage always far higher throughput than accessing something across the internet? Being able to store and access stuff on the internet as if it's local is a great idea, but the way they sell it is unconvincing and sounds like they don't really understand what they're talking about.

Over 100 years, the bedroom-to-sq-foot ratio shrunk. That sucks hard in an economy where it takes 4 typical incomes to pay minimal bills.
It doesn’t either. You just need to remove identity which anonymization of usernames accomplishes.
Not most though, and the lowest earners (possibly obviously) get the least. But thanks, I've updated my previous comment.
I like GnuCash. I use it for business books.

> The bar for taking a sick day is getting lower...

> For one, more workers are using up sick time often for reasons such as mental health.

It's sad that we're still so far from viewing mental health as any where near as "real" as other physical health issues (because after all, ultimately mental health is physical). People are visibly under greater mental stress than anytime I can recall in my working career, it's a good thing if more people are taking time to care for this.

Imagine if the article had subtly criticized people for taking more time off to address cardio health or kidney health, it would sound completely ridiculous.
Except, contrary to the Apple ecosystem, Microsoft isn't in the tradition to push everyone into a new technology no matter what.

They failed greatly at motivating the Windows developer community to migrate away from Win32 APIs, into WinRT/UAP/UWP, and now although WinUI 3.0/WinAPPSDK tries to bring that tooling on top of regular Win32, the developer experience is really bad versus what is still possible in UWP, in features and VS tooling.

Mostly due to how underresourced the team happens to be, and most app business units focusing on Web widgets, or SaaS products running on top of Azure.

Likewise there have been endless attempts of Windows on ARM, having all major compiler toolchains able to target it isn't enough, because without Apple's approach, most ISVs targeting Windows won't bother with yet another ISA on their development workflows if there isn't any money to be made up for it, only additional development costs.

> The most significant change...fully custom Arm CPU

I thought ARM was licensed? What does this mean, there are off-the-shelf processors and there are also fully custom designs?
Having no free will has nothing to do with actions having no consequences. Circumstances (e.g. epilepsy) might alter the remedy but just because we have no say in what we do does not mean anyone can do anything.

On a personal note, I honestly don't care whether I actually have free will or not. If it feels like I do, I'll make the most of it.

There are plenty of people who get paid out before the landlord, especially when you're several months in arrears as you almost always are in this situation. It's why in other markets landlords will be pretty quick to evict non-paying commercial tenants, there's a lot of risk and minimal personal guarantees unless it's a brand new business.
No, they're just storing pieces of pi.
I think that Firefox containers is a great feature, use them all the time, and have no desire for using separate profiles. That said:

- They aren't exactly an easy to discover feature. There is a mention of the feature in the settings, but making use of them requires the use of an addon.

- Other people do have use cases for separate profiles. Most people wouldn't even know they exist unless they have used Firefox for an incredibly long time, and they aren't exactly easy for the typical person to use.
I entered a few dates in YYYY-MM-DD format and it seems like it does whatever it wants with them?

Some results are without the first 2 year digits.

Some results are plain bogus, a 2012-03-XX date returned a 2012-10 number (without the day component and wrong month).

If this is an ad for the power of Wolfram Alpha it is very poorly executed.

That's good to know. I wonder if VS and VS Code are set to at least produce warnings when the feature is used in human generated code. Any feature can be abused, will be abused. At least with warnings by default the programmer can know this isn't a desired use case and then decide if their particular need is a worthwhile exception.

Ordering from other places is really hit or miss though. I’m reminded of my previous “Carolina Reaper” order from China, from Etsy of all places, and it turned out to be some kind of green Serrano…

Yes, since forever.

Some OEMs take ARM's design as they are, others design them further, Samsung's Exynos is another example.

It can do some things, but it's very slow. When asking to play a song, it asked me to log in on Spotify on what seemed like a remote server.
I cannot live in an urban setting. It is way too unhealthy for me. My recreation preferences also necessitate long distance or remote driving.

If we start to see 500+ mi ranges on an SUV-sized vehicle, that will be very tempting. I used to have an HEV sedan which got that kind of range and loved it - no great on unpaved roads, though.
The windows equiv is .lnk. Or in GUI windows world create a shortcut and then modify the launching parameters using properties on the lnk file. You could also drop the string into .bat/.cmd files (but that would probably leave a cmd box running in the background). Downside to .lnk files is they are binary so you have to use an editor that understands them (like windows explorer).
Where I live gas stations are starting to install chargers.

What the future looks like is a guess and thus nobody knows, but the following is my guess:

I expect hotels will limit their chargers to guests only (and likely move to slower/cheaper level2 chargers in all parking spaces). They want their guests arriving by cars to have a full charge in the morning, but they also want the discount from the power company that comes from not running high draw level3 chargers. They can probably get other discounts from the power company by limiting charging hours somehow.

I expect malls, grocery stores and the like will eventually give up on chargers. Most people coming to the mall are locals who are charging at home so there won't be much demand. This will depend on neighborhood, in middle class and above areas nearly everyone will have their charger at home and so not charge, while in poor areas landlords will be slow to install chargers so the poor will be charging in such areas for the next 50 years or so before it isn't worth it to have charging.

Along highways you see truck stop type chargers every 10 miles or so, both for people driving long distances (trucks and vacation travelers), about the same spacing as gas stations today. Land is cheap so they will have plenty of charging space, and they will try to get your inside while you charge with activities. Sit down restaurants (not fast food) that are not far from those highways will also have chargers to attract travelers to enjoy a nice meal while they charge, but they will be limited to customers only (or maybe high prices for the charge with a discount for food you eat inside making it a good deal only if you eat there).

Rural towns of 10k to 200k people will look like a highway regardless of location, since they need to provide options for farmers coming there for shopping who need a charge to get back home.

Large cities than more than one million people will have few chargers on the edges (where truck stops currently are), but once you get inside the city there will be no public chargers even on highways. Land is too expensive to waste on chargers for the few people who will use it. (there will be semi-public chargers where trucking companies open their private truck stop/maintenance facility to independent truckers)
You have to put the limit somewhere, anything else than splitting in half seems very tedious. Besides groceries is just one example of many expenses so I believe that differences get averaged out, and if they don't the two of us don't care about it.
ARM also sell designs so vendors can build systems at a lower cost. But you can also license the technology and make your own design (which is what Apple did)
I got the same on the Slack one, and also just checked my own profile while logged out and it just redirects to a login page. I wonder what makes an account get shuffled vs not shown at all.
There’s a Canadian company focused on databases called Pythian (I worked there a few years ago) that takes its name from Pythia because they started as an Oracle services company, which I thought was a nice word play. When I visited HQ in 2017 there was a painting or a statue (can’t remember) of Pythia in the reception.

There are forces acting against both:

People don't want to take a "sick day" if they don't feel debilitatingly sick because they might feel like they're cheating.

People don't want to take a "wellness day" because their work environment makes them feel pressured to not throw a whole work day away just because they "feel like it". I.e. they feel that one should consolidate those into longer planned-well-ahead vacations, otherwise they may feel some judgement from employers/coworkers whose work is affected by their absence.

It is of course a sign of our great cultural sickness that either of these psychological problems are even prevalent (and from my experience, they are prevalent - majority even).
People who don't use Twitter won't use Twitter to get status updates.

I guess reliance on civil forfeiture to fund public services is the result of the US public's aversion to taxes?

OK, wow! A few years ago I became obsessed with anything spicy. And as such, I went all the way and tried anything I could get my hands on, going all the way to the Carolina reaper. I even bought two plants and managed to grow two peppers myself, which was insanely difficult: they couldn't be more finicky if they tried. I tried them raw and that was borderline suicide. Eventually I turned them into 6 large jars of hot sauce with a ton of bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes and a whole bunch of spices. The sauce was a solid 10/10 but even though I gave it around my family and a dozen friends, our combined efforts managed to get us through it in about 8 months. That's how hot it was. My point is, it seems I have a new mountain to climb. Soooo where do I get one?
Good questions. I guess if you can trademark Apple, you can trademark kernel. But just as you don't have to respect the Apple trademark when talking about apples, I doubt you have to respect a kernel trademark when talking about kernels.

Cushing syndrome is and overarching term that encompases Cushing disease, subclinical Cushing syndrome, paraneoplastic Cushing's disease, and other tumors. subclinical Cushing's was more what I was referring to when I wrote 'congenital form of Cushing's syndrome'. You don't honestly think I was talking about something that is a 1-in-100,000 condition when talking about Alzheimer's do you?

As you want to be pedantic 'Subclinical Hypercortisolism' would be the much more accurate terminology.
I love containers for development. I configure a socks proxy for each of my development environments and it lets me run multiple copies of my services all on the correct domain names.
I don’t think you need to play ignorant, here. Refueling is significantly faster than recharging and you’re well aware of that fact.
You can't with containers, they're running on top of a current profile.
It can be used to apply for credit.

You would think that lenders should be on the hook for handing out money to the wrong person, but they’ve framed accepting uniquely identifying personal information like ssn, or date of birth with postal code, as conducting business with an entire identity that has been misappropriated.

Fair enough, probably far bigger scale than I am used to. But I wonder why move away from a monorepo? Publishing and versioning common packages is a huge pain in the ass, especially for JS projects where you need transpiling, sourcemaps, etc.

Some smart branch management so teams can work independently seems better for me. For example each project gets their own production branch and development branches to trigger deployments and can pull changes from master as they see fit.

If you are planning on these shared components and dependencies be versioned I highly advise against that, the permutation of versions of underlying common libraries (like React) can make an incompatible versioning hell where component X works on React ^16.0.0 but in practice was tested in React ^18.0.0 only. In my own project I explicitly force all shared dependencies (which I try to keep to a minimum) to be on the same version.

> without the need for built-time coupling

There are two ways of having build-time coupling:

1) Shared build/bundling code, configuration and tools

2) Single build/bundling for all the code

You can most definitely have independent projects sharing the same build/bundling code, configuration and tools while every project is built separately and independently. This can make it hard to integrate with solutions that rely on taking over your bundling though.
Sorry to be pedantic, but according to the 13th ammendment, compelled labor is allowed as a punishment of crime.

To be real, if the executives at a company do commit crimes that lead to the failure of the company, I think they should be on the hook for that.

I am not convinced. A lot of these things were specialised before these companies took off - with different people doing sysadmin, managing networks, DB admin, programming etc. There was always need for some generalists.

It is also useful to have a deeper understanding of underlying and related systems to you own - it makes it easier to understand problems, to communicate with specialists, etc.

You mentioned you are an economist. Do you think it would be a good idea for someone interested in macroeconomics to decide never to learn any microeconomics at all? Specialisation should be additional knowledge built on a broader base.

> You claim that linux, disk backup and routing tables will never be obsolete. Really?

I would interpret never is "not in your working life" which is a reasonable claim.

Also, underlying skills. We will always need OSes (even if Linux because obsolete), we will always need to backup data, and we will always need to route information. If you have learned one OS, or have experience of backups, or setting up networks it will be much easier to update to the new version.

With extreme difficulty.

The only real step 1 — unless you want to get into a philosophical argument about the foundation of knowledge and the Münchhausen trilemma — is "get a law degree", which for most people is much too hard.

The closest that nerds like me can do is to watch another lawyer explain what Trump's lawyers did wrong, and hope that YouTube isn't just one giant conspiracy by The Man (and while I have reasons for trusting this channel specifically, I do not trust YouTube collectively): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhy5Y8xVHS0

(This is, I think, further from a law degree than "watching a 25 minute video about Excel" is from "senior software engineer").

They're not required for MS's dependency injection, not sure about other libraries. 95% of the interfaces I've ever seen used for DI only have one implementation, and that 5% is generous. This makes maintaining the class and the interface tedious.

The reason this is so common is probably because code examples (including MS) often have it, so it gets followed the first time and repeated.

Q: Where in the world are (non-emergency) dentists open at weekends?
Yes, you are right. Time for better theorem proving tools! A theorem proving tool shouldn't add to your time spent designing and implementing, it should help you to get your stuff done faster and with (much) higher quality.

Not necessarily multipartite entanglement. Bipartite entanglement is covered in this scenario as well.

They key point is that if a circuit can be divided up into pieces which aren't entangled with each other then you can understand the individual pieces separately, which is very nice. On the other hand if the system can't be divided up in this way you don't really have any choice except deal with the whole thing as one big blob, which is difficult.
