I enjoy working from the office when the atmosphere of the office is aligned and there aren't a hundred abstractions of self justification and internal status signaling, though that's very rare in most companies.
Definitely. Something new we learn everyday. Thanks for sharing
i canceled my replit plan maybe a year and half ago. for similar-ish reasons. i loved the initial product (and evangelized of my own free will), not so much later iterations. making good use of replit now required some learning. considering that replit wasn’t a tool in any of my critical paths i didn’t feel the need to make the investment. i miss it though because i used to collaborate with my partner’s sister on her c++ code for her astrophysics work, and it was a huge learning opportunity for me. looking at the current trajectory of github, it looks like it may be a good replacement for replit v1, soon.
Not to mention the ability to do work holidays, where I go to the beach or whatever and work from there for a week or two. And the sick days is a big one that benefits the company. I've never once oficially taken one since WFH. I might have been mostly just standing by if I felt like shit, but still available for anything urgent.
And if anything, it’s much better remotely because you don’t have to be hunched over at the same time as someone else on a single keyboard.
Under-appreciated: not wearing shoes all day.

Anytime I need to spend a day in an office now, when I finally get home and pull off my shoes and sweat soaked shoes I'm so glad I don't have to do this on a regular basis anymore.
Obl: everytime we do a font thread, I ask if anyone knows a font that is

* proportional

* sans

* has programming ligatures

* clearly differentiates 1l and 0O

The closest I’ve come was iosevka. But it was not quite proportional and I wasn’t font of its looks.
That's some real deflection. While the overall thread was certainly about CodeCov, the questions I asked your head of open source where very clear and not tied to that specific case, and their responses were as well.

I do admit it's nice hearing that the Director of Engineering at Sentry has a higher standard for what is or isn't open source software, and I hope that attitude spreads to the rest of the company. I still think that everything that Sentry does in and around the Open Source community should be seen through the lens of what the Sentry Head of Open Source has directly said, and through the actions and statements of Sentry outside of that.
The article rehashes some well-known arguments, but the most interesting part of it for me was this:

> “People need to be in the office to be a part of the TEAM”

> This gets at a much deeper issue, however. Should we be loyal to companies who would lay us off at the drop of a hat to pad their quarterly earnings? Companies who decide the projects we work on have no merit but can’t be bothered to reassign us to more critical work after spending the time and money to get us in the door? Many of us feel the need to be loyal but what are we getting in return?

The author acknowledges that team-building may be easier in the office, but the question is whether team-building is of any benefit other than to keep employees stuck to their employer.
Good question - it's been almost two years since this project so I don't recall whether V.92 came up at all, even on a pure T-1 setup. I still have all the gear, if I set it up and run it again I'll update this thread.
It depends. What do you consider safe?
If you actually read the tweet and understand what its about and follow up tweets it is absolutely a stretch to call him antisemitic and theres a lot of truth in there as well. You're reacting to headlines like most people.
Projects like these tend to attract AI programmers, compare SC1's native AI with what Brood War API users came up with :

I found this nugget from Wikipedia [0] quite funny.

> In an answer on the Mercurial mailing list, Olivia Mackall explained how the name "Mercurial" was chosen:

> Shortly before the first release, I read an article about the ongoing Bitkeeper debacle that described Larry McVoy as mercurial (in the sense of 'fickle'). Given the multiple meanings, the convenient abbreviation, and the good fit with my pre-existing naming scheme (see my email address), it clicked instantly. Mercurial is thus named in Larry's honor. I do not know if the same is true of Git.

Not even close.
I can mute slack. I can’t mute the office.
I was recently in the market for such an API. In my decision matrix I checked if (a) the company provides a proper privacy policy including postal address, bascially who am I sending potentially identifying information to (b) does it find the latest temp-mail.org domains, today that would be cabose.com for example. Bouncebadger has negative results on both.
I even went to the library when studying for exams in college even though I didn't have to. I consider myself introvert, but I just like the physical separation of work and leisure. And I have a beautiful commute by bike.
Do GLP-1s improve cardiovascular health independently of weight loss?
Who is this meant to convince? Has anyone ever changed their mind as a result of reading a listicle of complaints? This seems more like something for people who already agree with the author to read and self righteously think "yeah, this is THE way"

There isn't some objective right answer here. Different people value different things, and that's ok. Companies can set their RTO policies as they see fit, and that's ok. People should try to find companies that match their preferences. Let's not turn this into yet another tribal schism...
> I feel like vitamin D is utterly alien and mysterious. It is as if everyone knows it is there but nobody understands it very well.

B12 is another one — B12 deficiency is absolutely horrific to end up with long-term, and doctors struggle to treat it properly due to extensive misconceptions[0] (ex insisting it’s impossible to have issues with oral absorption / that injections aren’t necessary). It also often gets misdiagnosed as things like MS due to them presenting very similarly in terms of symptoms[1].

No, DailyMotion (and probably others) existed before Youtube and worked just as well. They simply lost at the "winner takes all" market share war.
This is really the exception, not the rule. and at least 21 states have laws invalidating it. Mainly the HOAs are there to regulate DIY'ers from having wires hanging down or ladders permanently installed on the house so they can go up there and tinker 3 hours/day 5x a week.

i'll throw in this set of lectures from Andrej Karpathy. The first lecture is very accessible from a beginner perspective.

If we actually create an AGI, it will view us much like we view other animals/insects/plants.

People often get wrapped up around an AGI's incentive structure and what intentions it will have, but IMO we have just as much chance of controlling it as wild rabbits have controlling humans.

It will be a massive leap in intelligence, likely with concepts and ways of understanding reality that either never considered or aren't capable of. Again, that's *if* we make an AGI not these LLM machine learning algorithms being paraded around as AI.
Indeed. And anyone near a time zone boundary looking at an online map of store locations doesn’t want to see “opens at 6AM” or whatever — they want to know whether the store is open.
I agree with almost everything there except the point about powering through and working when sick.

If you are sick (proper sick not just slightly under the weather) then take those sick days. That is what generations of workers before you fought for, so that you wouldn't need to.

On the subject of wfh I do 1 day a week at the office when feeling like it and my productivity usually goes right down to zero on those days. But I like that little bit of social exposure.
This. Unfortunately I think the SWE job market is only going to get worse.
In-Depth: How to Prevent High-Performing Teams from Burning Out
Also interesting that the first paragraph cites 103mph as the speed in a deadly accident. Would 3mph have made a difference here?

Volvo already limits top speed to 112mph in all their models since 2021 https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/2020/5/does-volvos-ne....

Then there’s the time-honored tradition of car mods and the legacy / grandfathering problem. Plenty of cars out there today can hit 160mph or more easily, even pretty modest vehicles like a V6 Honda Accord. Is a 6000# Tesla limited to 100mph much safer than an Accord that weighs a little more than half as much going 160?

It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, but the problem is much bigger than what limiting vmax on new vehicles will solve. 100mph is still many tons of force depending on vehicle weight, very much enough to do a lot of damage. Politicians love fixing the easy problem instead of addressing the cultural issues at play here in our society. Listen for how many cat-less exhausts you hear in California as evidence of how effective CARB and inspections have been. Again, it’s not that it’s a bad idea, just that there are too many ways around it and too much will to avoid the law. The best laws are the ones people want to follow. How do we steer society to a place where reckless driving isn’t so appealing?
Very interesting. Is this a global thing or national?

Seems like this is some kind of legal inevitability that is acknowledged to be counter-productive:

> The IASDA report stresses: “There is concern that this decision may cause consumers to mistrust vitamin D supplementation, which will be particularly problematic given the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among the population."

and

> “Even after ANSES publicly stated that while formally correct, the listing would be counterproductive, this legal mechanism proved impossible to stop,” he adds.
Why did you post this with such an editorialized title?
freeing cpu/ram generally wasn't the motivator to get a hardware modem. winmodems required drivers that generally were only available for windows ("win"modem)

at a consumer level, the only people that ever knew or cared were people trying to run linux or a bsd. h/w modems operated over a serial port, and didn't require any special kernel support.

Lovely quality. I celebrate that. Ligatures are a deal breaker for me tho.

With centuries of use cases, we crafted an alphabet that abstracted phonemes, one per symbol, in a carefully isolated, unambiguous and successful way. Ligatures come and with a stroke of design creativity inject ambiguity and de-standardisation where those problems were previously carefully solved.

I worked at a place years back that was expanding; bought a second building - 2 stories. Downstairs had semi-open cubicles, and a wall of private office spaces (8 IIRC). All empty. Cubes were full. I was in the other building, told we were needing to move over the next couple months. I asked for one of the private spaces. They weren't really that big, and had no natural light, but... they did have a door. I'd been wrestling with being in an open cube next to marketing people (trying to juggle multiple dev projects), and routinely had 3-5 people on the phone around me. Very distracting.

"Nope, those offices are for managers".

"But... they're empty now".

"We're putting together the budget for next year to hire more managers".

"So... those will sit empty for the next 6-9 months and I have to work in an open cube environment, being distracted by the growing number of people around me".

"Looks that way, but don't be so negative about it. I think we're done here. Close my door on your way out please".

I left a few weeks after that exchange.
They do it together, so it's a shared space?
Not only will going back to get the degree help OP be considered for jobs but there are also a few other benefits I can think of:

- Networking. Much easier to meet people when you belong to the school's institution and get feet in doors. At least in the US, the university to industry pipeline is strong. Businesses have a sense of trust of quality for students coming from certain schools and will prioritize you.

- Now that you're older and have experience in the real world, you will get MUCH more bang for your buck at school. You know what you want and will be able to steer your future career much more effectively.
Locality of Behaviour (2020)
It would be nice if there were separate types for naive and aware datetimes. Then mypy and similar tools could actually check code for correctness.
Sure, I should have said "P2P based video sharing like PeerTube". The point is that for videos with no expectation of making money, P2P is a better model than YouTube, as it is both free and ad-free.

I am not saying that PeerTube is better and that people should be using it. I am saying that it is worse, because of the way YouTube developed and made competition impossible.
What’s the high profile game?
> But to make something robust, you might want to e.g. validate all your inputs at each layer since you don't know who's going to call your method or service.

If you actually have layers, then repeated guarding is not necessary. The guards are necessary when the same function appears at multiple levels of abstraction - when calls reach across multiple layers of even back up the hierarchy.

In Angular you had services. Everything was meant to talk to those to get to the data, and I think a lot of people misunderstood the value this provides. If you want user data to look a certain way to the front end, you can do cleanup at insertion time (which can be spread out over years when you didn’t know it was a problem) or at read time. Ideally you want this in the backend, but it can be a challenge because you don’t know what you need until you need it, and expecting the backend people to drop everything to tackle your latest epiphany RFN is unreasonable.

But you can make the Service work the way you would like the backend to work, and make a pitch for that logic to move into the backend. It’s generally self explanatory code, without a lot of tendrils elsewhere. Airlifting it across process boundaries is far easier than surgically removing a set of assumptions and decisions smeared across the code.

“Beyond this point, all foo have bar, and you don’t need to worry about it.” This takes architectural discipline but the dividends are great.
What does PLT mean in this context? I wasn't able to $searchengine it
I completely agree. I won't sacrifice my mental health to acquiesce to the toxic, manipulative tactics of modern ad exposure. Ads are not good for you. If I can't find a way to continue avoiding the ads, I'll stop using YouTube. This is not an ethical conundrum for me. This is self-defense.
Economists actually shouldn't even be included in regulatory considerations in my opinion. If they are then regulators must be balancing the regulation that on its own seems necessary with the economic impact of proper regulation.

It hasn't worked for the airline industry, pharmaceutical companies, banks, or big tech to name a few. I don't think its wise for us to keep trying the same strategy.
> pinging me multiple times a day for updates

It tends to be part of the job, though in your case it might be that your manager isn’t technical because git and continuous integration do the same thing without your manager pestering you

> expecting me to be on call outside of work hours

Part of the job especially when there are either tight deadlines or bad bugs

You need a degree. Fortunately, there are now many reputable and inexpensive online options especially via public universities

The other riskier option is to learn a very niche programming language with a small talent pool like cobal.

The best option is to do both uni and learning the niche programming language
Some of these issues would go away if the author used headphones and the office used an open floor plan instead of cubicles.
Get back to college. In coming recession around the corner 2024 to 2026 extremely likely. You go into college and get shielded. Study hard and score well. Get all the pro certs you can. Do master if possible. Specialize only on AI+Blockchain (using Java+Python+Rust+C). You will thank me later.
(x) doubt
I doubt any non-impaired person will seriously lose to a cat. All these stories are people LATER having some kind of infection. Sure, you have a chance at serious damage due to infection. But a cat just killing a person in a 1v1 deathmatch? I very much doubt that.
Perhaps your problem is that you’re wearing 2 layers of shoes. Try socks instead. ;)
This is anegdotical evidence, but I was there when Google came out and it was simply much better than the competition. I learned one day about this new websitr - and it was so much better than the other alternatives that I never went back.
Same with gmail, trying to get that invite for that sweet 1GB mailbox when the ones from your country offered only 20MB and sent you 10 spammy ads per day, every day.

As an anegdote: before google I was asked to show the internet to my grandmother. So I asked her what she wants to search for. She asked me about some author, let's say William Shakespeare - guess what did the other search engine find for me and my grandma: porn...
I never hired for software devs, so take the following with a grain of salt.

Agree in the return to university part. 27, three years of experience and no bachelors degree don't stack up well against someone with a bachelors and more experience, who can easily be younger. Life and health issues happen, living through them can nake you tougher and more resilient. That isba story to sell in an interview. Getting one is the problem now.

Hence, go back to university, get your degree (I'd say with ypur experience it would be easier than without), work as much as possibel during your studies, internships, working student jobs. But do not worl full time (I did during my masters, it worked, but took 4.5 years and instead of 18 months, I had a diploma begore, so time didn't matter for me, it does for you so).

Those interships and student jobs, in industry and not academia, shoupd be easier to get with relevant work experience. And they give you contacts and a foot in the door for a full time job after graduation.

What is funny about it? The person I responded to was concern about sharing banking information with social platforms. Apple and Google pay aren’t social platforms.

I will first start versus AI, then take it from there. Not really a competitive player anymore. Playing Brood War kinda makes you dislike multiplayer RTS after a while, haha.
So, you don't want to competition from large cloud providers, but you also want your source to be available to users, and you want to give them a guarantee that the software will not simply die once you stop maintaining it.

Then release your software under a source available non-compete license with the caveat that it will become open source when you stop working on it. (Basically what you have already done.)

Don't pretend it's FOSS or that it has anything to do with open source because it isn't and it doesn't. You have not made the software open until you have relinquished it to the community at large to do whatever they wish with it. Open source developers dislike this kind of marketing because it muddies the waters of what isn't and isn't free. If someone contributes to your software thinking it's free, you have mislead them to profit off their work. I don't care what you do with your code, but don't mischaracterise it. Don't give big talk about how you "believe in open source" or whatever. Say that you are source-available, and that isn't FOSS, but say no more than that. Especially do not say that you are "The Future of Open Source". That is nothing but a lie an it's obvious why real open source developers giving their time for the public good would take offence to it.

Open source is like charity. Don't call yourself a charity or associate yourself with charity unless you actually are one.
And immediately turn off access to Azure. I hope they have FDE, but it doesn't matter anyway because Microsoft can read the RAM.
I also want to see GPT-3 vs GPT-4 comparison on these tasks.
Well you made it explicitly for programming purposes.
I am not a poll house or a public opinion evaluator. But handwritten cursive and programming I wouldn't put in a same sentence.

The ligatures and the height you choose really don't go well with a lot of popular programming languages.

I'm not sure what aspect of programming do you believe is "inhumane" so you have desire to introduce "humanity" through design choice.
I think he meant he's the designer of _this_ typeface. Not in general. And for _this_ typeface as a labour of love why shouldn't they disregard user feedback when they made it for their own purposes.
Your argument is self defeating: if the body is inefficient at digesting these things, you probably shouldn't eat them.

Eating fat certainly makes you gain weight. This is a fact.

> as nearly everyone's diets were prior to the rise of agriculture on the order of 8 to 12 thousand years ago

lol. This is not true. Cereals and starches were scarce, but meat was not a large part of the diet: at most it was 40%. Certainly not 100%.
Just stop using the YouTube frontend.

I've been running my Piped instance for a while, and there are many public Piped instances available on the Web as well.

And, if you don't want the headache of running your own proxied instance or hopping between public instances, use Platypush - it wires together Piped as a backend, with yt-dlp as a local proxy/scaper, and a multitude of media plugins to allow you streaming directly the YouTube media files to any media device. Plus, thanks to yt-dlp, it doesn't only work only with YouTube, but with hundreds of other websites with closed media URLs (Facebook, TikTok, Twitter...). And then just use LibRedirect/UntrackMe to convert all of the YouTube URLs to Piped URLs - you won't send a single packet to that digital sewage, and you won't even notice any difference.

Just...stopping relying on YouTube's frontend. I've been chasing their API and FE changes for a while. I even set up a small Selenium suite to scrape video results directly from their UI. It's quite clear that they've decided to invest enough resources to embrace full war against anybody who's sick of their ads. They are in a terminal phase of enshittification - the one where they look so much after they bottom line that they don't care if they to turn their whole platform into a big billboard or shut down all of their APIs. Either I consume videos from anywhere else, or, when I have no alternatives, I use Piped. But avoid youtube.com at all costs: it's a walking digital cancer in its terminal phase.

Even paying a subscription to them to get rid of the ads wouldn't help. I'd rather direct my donations to open or non-enshittified services than supporting a dying business model.
