I would add one major change that the work from home experiment has achieved - its made the opportunity cost of the work commute clear. This is a time cost paid for by the worker.

As you stated, this is variable.

If you have a short commute, or you like it, or you get some exercise - office is great.

If you hate your commute, if its 3 hours in pollution and traffic - not so much.

Earlier the position was that WFH was not possible. Now we know it is, and I hazard that this change isn't factored in job postings.

Considering what an hour of time means in this era, its not a trivial cost. This means an hour which could be spent just unwinding, studying, on hobbies, procrastinating, whatever.

If you have any drive, or strong interests, thats time you would want to spend on something other than a commute.
Productivity is one factor. You also have to consider getting away from people at home, joining people because you live alone, sexual pursuits, and other topics that people are dishonest about yet are largely motivated by to work in office. People think RTO is about real estate, but it's really about executives looking for extramarital affairs.
As a (not so) minor point -

It's worth keeping in mind that code aesthetics is an important aspect of C codebases. There's a lot of C code that is exclusively lowercase, sans the macros. So introducing keywords like _Type and _Var will serve to hinder their adoption, because it'd make the code that much more "ugly". Just like what happened with _Generic - a reasonable feature, bad keyword selection -> barely any field use.
You think you're making a case about the shortcomings of HTML. You're really just demonstrating how crummy page numbers are as a citation format.

From the article:

Earlier in the same week I asked to get a few days more time to work on the next feature. I had been working 50–60 hours per week up to that point and wanted to take the weekend off to recharge.

I told my CTO that developing and launching a big, new feature every week wouldn’t be sustainable for me long-term. He told me that that is startup life and that we could talk more about it on Friday with the CEO. On Friday I got fired for not being a good fit.

You're right, it's a pretty common thing in many fields now. For example streamers on Twitch have realized that it's pretty easy to just get a group together with other guests for easy content.
Yeah, Whisper is not clear-cut but since it is not a generative model I think their data usage is a lot more likely to be considered fair-use.

And the part of that which we use for WhisperSpeech is just the phonetic representation so our model is not able to recreate any of the Whisper training data in any way.
Thanks for letting us know. We will add a section about encryption.

These tiny tools are basically one week projects to show off the tech, but they try to be useful on it's own as well.
Here is another way in which this is a little patch-like. The author observes that:

(a) it is desired that _Var(T)* and void* be compatible;

(b) however. pointers-to-T for different T are not guaranteed to be compatible in general,

as a consequence, it is NOT guaranteed that _Var(T)* is compatible with T*, which is a theoretical wart worthy of C++. I can see it becoming especially annoying if you’re trying to introduce _Var(T) polymorphism into a code base that currently uses preprocessor macros that textually substitute types.

Perhaps the better solution would be forgo giving void* any special status whatsoever. However, that means that this type of polymorphism can’t be implemented using void* as a polyfill.
I am no game developer but have over the past few years played around with GameMaker and their studio software[0]. I would imagine it to be one of the easiest ways to get started with making a 2D game.

Then there is also the option of not jumping directly into the coding bit, and rather cultivate in your son the ability to do on paper designs first.

This is a skill that would probably benefit him later in life as it is too often the case that we (software developers) get hyped for the act of developing before we have even decided on WHAT it is and HOW we should be developing.

Sounds like you and your son have a fun time ahead of you. Good luck, and have fun!

Like a lot of conspiracy theory, there's a core of truth. All you have to do is ask the question "is this system going to be allowed to be used for crime on a huge scale", receive the obvious answer "no", and infer that there will be some control built into the system.

Where it leaps into conspiracy is the question of when and whom this will be used against. But it's fairly obvious that measures will be taken against drug sellers, sex workers, banned political parties and so on.

I wonder if Pichai and his cronies have considered that maybe Management's decision-making might have contributed substantially to the drop in profits? Sure, it's easy to fire and hire footsoldiers, but maybe getting rid of poor decision makers might be a better idea? Of course this will be largely academic when Management is replaced by AI ...

Imagine a kid hiding from a shooter and having his phone ring 'cause his parent is concerned.
Also remember Rhide IDE.

(Looks like the official Rhide website is down/gone?).
The kid didn't ask to code, he wants to make a game.

I'd argue that the even safer bet is to start by using a game editor.

For example Warcraft III had a great map editor with which Dota was created.

It's probably the easiest way to get someone started. Advanced configuration requires scripting so it's the very next step to programming.

“Managing people is really really hard”

I like your reply, but for different reasons. I am a middle school teacher, and my day to day is managing people. It is tiring, decidedly so, and yet at the end of the day, management is rewarding for me for because it is relationship building through gaining individual understanding and building classroom consensus.

I love my job and am good at my job. But if I’m to step outside of my classroom your latter quote becomes far too truthful for me:

“we seem to have a managerial class who seem to be getting away with doing it very poorly”

Your quote applies directly to my supposed superiors; assistant principals, principals, and higher ups in the school board. Most of the managerial class outside of a classroom is trash at their jobs. Their management style seems mostly morale busting and ego inflation at day’s end.

I agree with you, just from a different occupational domain.

Whatever, but moving a significant part of all the freight from China to Europe through Russia would probably require quite an improvement on the current railway infrastructure.

It's probably a multi track system going all the way through China, Russia (with maybe Kazakhstan or Mongolia in between if they care about shortcuts), Belarus and finally to Poland. Then maybe upgrades to the European railways too to handle the excess traffic coming from the wrong direction (EU harbors are not in the East.) It's not something they can do in a short time and it takes a lot of political collaboration. I think that it's easier for them to win the war, if they can win it, and start buying Western Europe politicians again. Or just start buying them again while the war goes on.

>Most browser "fingerprinting" methods have a pretty short half-life. The last assessment I read said something like half of the fingerprints were lost within 24 hours.

That's absolutely not my experience. Maybe if you use some weird research-level fingerprinting technique, but most fingerprints are just regular old boring stuff - screen and browser viewport size, installed plugins and fonts, browser UA and settings, hardware/gpu quirks, etc[1]. And it doesn't have to be 100% reliable, just reliable enough to track your activity to show you some ads.

[1] as a privacy conscious individual I'm fully aware just viewport size is enough to almost uniquely fingerprint me. I use my laptop screen, with sidebery extension, browser tab bar hidden by user css and sway in tabbed mode. My second computer is less unique, I "just" use sway and firefox with the minimal tab size (that for some reason is hidden must be unlocked in the about:config so it's very rarely used).
I used Scrapbook for years. A nice thing is that even if I stopped using it I still have all the files I saved. There was some kind of export-function to save the tree of documents to an external index.html and I just keep that with all the other files in my hoard and can navigate all my old saved pages.

I switched to SinglePage since I prefer to just save pages as stand-alone files. It does waste some space, but I can move the saved files to wherever it makes sense in my hoard and use my filesystem for organizing files instead of HTML documents living in their own location.

I also use the Save Text to File add-on. Often only the text on a page is useful anyway. At least that compensates a bit for the space wasted when using SinglePage on other pages.

Define "read". And "article". Should you get charged for every link preview you scroll past on Twitter? (see lawsuits! the publishers think you should, or at least that this is copyright infringement)

Can I build a page with one "article" plus one thousand hidden iframes each of which also contains a one-cent "article"?

The best talents globally are going to be paid at a rough similar level outside of the big tech giants.

As we go forward, the monetary gain of outsourcing is trending down, it's already less worth it than 10 years ago.

Remote working plays against outsourcing in my opinion, nobody wants to be underpaid, including talents in lower cost of living areas, what was a local market became a global one.

And then those countries are also developing as well, reducing the gap every year.

Both effects together are very powerful against outsourcing.

Following the instructions I get "You have no available activity to show at this time.". Even when downloading my data I get nothing under sections like "Connected apps and websites". So it looks like opting out of everything possible and running FB in a dedicated FF container only seems to do something.
The software company was also responsible for collecting data and for witness statements about the data for prosecutions not just for code. There were bugs that the company knew about which affected both the collection of data presented and the collecting of data. The conversations about costs related to these bugs in some instances it seems. Additionally the witness statements were written possibly with bias in them.

Right now on YouTube there are Fujitsu staff being asked questions by the enquiry on this topic.

Worth also saying that some bugs were discovered in a product which was due to be replaced by a new system so it was considered low priority to fix. However it impacted cases of several years before it was discovered.

I think maybe that 2 Fujitsu employees are either investigation or being currently prosecuted by the met police, so there are criminal proceedings being under taken right now in relation (I guess) to these bugs in the older version of the code. There's not much info about this currently for obvious legal reasons.

Yep, but those two routes around capes can be disrupted too, which may cause advantage for those, who are not using them.

There was a short phase before express when you could get a free command line visual C compiler with some SDK. I think the intention was to enable users of other compilers to create C bindings to msvc C++ ABI DLL or something like that, perhaps related to the dawn of .net. I wanted to make Buzz plugins that are tied to msvc ABI and had just recently lost my "cultural compatibility with piracy" to the availability of gimp, djgpp and friends. "Pay or pirate" had been displaced by "pay or the challenges of freedom". Of course just when I had my routine somewhat going, express appeared and my adventures in frugality imploded.
Based on my experience working in IT on complex projects, it is better to work together in the same room/office, if you have a team that is not all seniors and if you work on a greenfield project where you have a lot of structure to put in place.

Often with people that are doing something new to them, they might have a "mental barrier" of doing something new, because there are a lot of things to take into account, and discussing with somebody experienced in person helps more that having a video call.

Also making some architectural decisions might take a lot of time if there are multiple potential solutions, each with pros and cons (ex. which message broker / http client / log & metric aggregator / sql database to pick). Being in the same room, a few senior developers and possibly the infrastructure guy makes it easier.

When working on already launched projects, the architecture is already in place and doing maintenance or adding new features does not need a lot of communication/synchronization between team members, so doing that remotely is not an issue. However it might be if you are not familiar with the project, or don't have experience, or you have associates in the team and you need good performance from them.

I don't know if it's the same when working on simpler projects.

I really do not understand what could possibly be hard about it for the manager here. People have tickets in some issue tracker, they move them into whatever status they're in, and the manager just sends out some messages to check in on the status if there haven't been new updates in a few days. Yeah, you also have 1-1s, status meetings, performance reviews, etc but these are all things you'd have anyway. My managers have done basically nothing different for me while I was remote and everything seemed to be fine.

Just watched the second video and I am confused.

It starts with some general points one could summarize as defining a "good culture" and how that should pay off for both employer and employees, but then later tramples all over it by excusing or outright endorsing the exact type of political behaviour that was criticized at the beginning: upward perception, the favour economy, finding influential friends, connectors, not burning bridges, and facetime.

edit: The mentioned plan B (leaving) is really the only option for what they call a "hostile corporation". I don't agree with many of the plan A "learning to play the game" recommendations. This just changes you for the worse.

Bullshit jobs.

If people are so bored and idle to the point that they can just screw around on the internet until the clock strikes 5 while the world keeps turning, then that's a huge red flag they're in a bullshit job.

The answer isn't to invent work for them to do. If there's nothing to do, then there's nothing to do. They should probably go home and spend time with their family, write a novel, do some home improvement, tinker, maintain their tools, do some chores. Now that's meaningful work.
