Absolutely. And that's the right choice IF you can make it. Switching to CP or AP is something you should do because you're forced to.

That's something lost on a lot of modern engineers, I think. Distributed Systems are something you do because you have to, not because they're the best approach inherently.
Can you briefly explain how that works? Is it like Zig?
The judge is key. They are always in a position to drift a case one way or another. There are two thing you never speak bad about in front of a judge: cats, and star trek. Either one will put you in the bad books of half the bench.

> People should be aware and responsible of their own ignorance and limitations.

To a point. You take it for granted that certain things are 'safe' - like food and drink. Most users think that google is the internet and that gmail is email.

Those users were sold out by us techies drinking the google koolaid (google analytics, chrome, assorted goodies, etc). I don't think that they would have cared anyway. It's not been that long that the consensus has swung around to google being a pile of canine feces.

And yet chrome is still #1, these guys are smarter than all of us.
I recently had to use Windows a bit and went back to Total Commander after years on a mac.

It felt amazing. "At last, my arm is complete again" level. I can't believe you could miss a file manager so much. It's one of the greatest tools you can't explain the usage of, you bust have to use it for a week.

Then I discovered that since I last checked a passable Mac clone has appeared.
Nimble Commander (https://magnumbytes.com/) is almost 1:1 in terms of UX and does support the Mac filesystem well. Just be sure to press ^3 Tab ^3 the first time you open it.

> When Nokia’s research arm, Nokia Bell Labs, said in early December the company will move out of the Murray Hill campus over the next five years to relocate to a new tech hub being built in New Brunswick, the announcement spurred an outpouring of memories online from current and former employees.

> Bell Labs’ new headquarters will be located at the HELIX innovation center in New Brunswick. Originally known as “The Hub,” the HELIX innovation center will be a large complex in the city’s downtown on the site of the former Ferren Mall.

I'm excited for New Brunswick here. Would love to see this small city develop. With relatively cheap cost of living, Rutgers, decent zoning (they've got a number of highrises and seem to be adding more), and being a few train stops away from NYC (and a direct bus IIRC?) it seems like a really compelling place to invest in.

Sounds like something legislation has to catch up with.

Kind of like how US streaming companies are purging content for 'tax breaks' but then you don't find a copy of the content anywhere.
I disagree on the sponsorship of issues being a good idea. Let's say there's an issue that's complex enough to warrant forking over several thousand dollars to cover the development cost. This will inevitably lead to a non-trivial amount of code being written. Who maintains that code in the future?

Any open source project adopting this model for funding will be in a perpetual cycle of chasing features and the rapid deterioration of code quality that comes with feature-driven development.

On the flip side, if a project opens an issue for "resolve security issue X" and refuses to ship a fix until it is paid for will be seen as holding the release hostage, resulting in a whole lot of negative press even though shipping a release can also be a serious amount of work.

Just because its not happening around you, doesn't mean its not happening. $4.5k/m is less than 45L/year.

To give you some context, the median in-hand salary of IIM-A last batch was 33L. These are mostly freshers with at most 2-3 years of work experience, i.e. 25-27 year olds.

You think in 10 years these people wouldn’t have increased their salaries by 35%?

I don’t think people here realize how much salaries have gone up in India, especially in tech, after the pandemic.
Sounds about right otherwise PVTs would be far more mainstream. I think the point in that is that the energy requirement for hot water is a fraction of the demand for electricity. But perhaps with a system like this, the heat can be more useful when used as a battery and the sun isn't shining.

As ever the LCOE wins, and whatever time of day the energy can be used at.

I know that a lot of people struggle a lot with ADHD, and I'm not at all opposed to medication for you and them. My dad struggled to hold down a job for most of my childhood. Had he received his ADHD diagnosis earlier, my early life would have been much more stable. I'm not trying to downplay the degree to which people suffer and their need for help.

However, what you describe feels to me like validation of my point, not a contradiction. Undiagnosed ADHD overwhelmingly becomes manifest in times exactly like what you describe—you were working on a PhD! You were overwhelmed by Excel. You hated repetitive tasks. COVID lockdowns were impossible for you.

The depression and anxiety associated with ADHD are not inherent to the ADHD traits, they're the result of feeling incapable to cope with the modern world. All of the things that you described as overwhelming are accidental complexity that we can and should get rid of. Being a great researcher shouldn't require all of the overhead that we impose on modern PhD candidates. Just living in the modern world shouldn't require all that overwhelming bookkeeping—as just one example, taxes and bills can be and should be mostly automated, but they're not. If you didn't have to keep track of a million tiny things in your life, would you have been anxious and depressed?

Again, in the present reality medication is hugely important for a lot of people like you. But that doesn't mean that the world shouldn't also change to not require keeping track of so many things that add so little value.

Interesting, I assume there is some fundamental calculation that takes the radius of the greenhouse and chimney height in order to estimate the energy output.
Because some things are different than others, even though they might have the same word to describe them.
I think there are many explanations:

1 many people don’t understand how their jobs fit into a larger system and claim it’s BS

2 People find jobs where they don’t directly benefit from the output as bullshit (I make
Something I don’t use)

3 beaucratic jobs that prevent rather than create can feel like bullshit even though systematically are needed.

4 risk forward jobs can be seems as bullshit as they are part of a spread bet a company makes to survive while any individual can feel like they failed and aren’t contributing.

I can go on.
> You’re turning in work for academic credit that you didn’t do

This doesn't sound true if you're copying your own work surely? If that's the case it must by definition be work that you did, right?
I reckon that the average Incognito user is not even aware of "tracking" in the cookie/advertising way, and it's not why they use the mode. It's merely to not leave traces of their browsing history on their computer, which they may share with others.

To tech-savvy users it was always clear that sites would still be able to track you, whether or not you clear your local history and cookies. Cookies are just one, quite outdated at this point, way of tracking.
If you are in the UK Deepmind seemed to be that way to me when I applied. A lot of research groups doing hard research in a wide array of fields, cutting edge AI stuff, a core team of SEs developing in house programs for researchers, and research engineers for productionization. And no, I didn't get the job lol.

I've heard mixed things about it as a company but GResearch (also UK) seemed like an interesting R&D software / math mix in the vein of investment banking. I applied there over ten years ago so YMMV at this point, who knows.
I would argue that Uber increased wealth concentration, which is even less ideal.

Just want to note that Google Chrome headless recently landed support for correctly rendering text files. Prior to this, when in headless the file was not rendered, and IIRC was simply downloaded, unlike what happens in regular headful chrome.

As a workaround before this fix, I created a secure document viewer that used pandoc and latex to template layout the text file in correct form. We intercepted the navigation request / download request to a text file and passed it to the secure viewer to be rendered using latex and pandox -- most complex pipeline ever for displaying ASCII!! hahaha :)

Interested readers can find the latex template here^0 and the overall projec this was part of, here^1 :) haha :)

IIM-A batch of 25 year olds graduate with median packages of 30L+ (audited reports), and you confidently declare that mid career management professionals aren’t earning even a quarter of that?

Do you people even live in India?

Because I do, and every single person in my cohort of 35 year olds is making excess of $60k/year, most doing close to $100k/year even when working at second tier companies.

The FAANG folks are easily making $120k+/year.

Try hiring a skilled developer with 7-10 years of experience and you’ll know what current salaries actually are.

No wonder people misunderstand when browsers call it "Incognito mode" or "private window", which implies there's some kind of anonymity and privacy.

Yet more "please return to the office" pseudo-journalism bollocks.

Front-line staff have to clock on, get their toilet breaks timed, get drug tested, have weird random shift patterns, have to work at least one day on the weekend, have to cover for colleagues by doing a 16-hour shift, get paid overtime, can't nip out for a doctor's appointment, etc, etc, etc.

Happy for bosses to consider making the workplace more equal, but let's start by making front-line staff's lives easier rather than making everyone else's lives harder.
They're not playing dumb, just as a magazine subscription isn't playing dumb by not phoning you up to see if you want every magazine. If you sign up to a subscription, you are saying you want it until it's cancelled. If you just want them one at a time, go buy each one in a shop.
I love Magnet and also paid for it. Coming from Linux to Mac, I _rarely_ pay for any kind of utility .. but I did here. Maybe that says something in itself.

Subscriptions for desktop software sucks; but I can deal with yearly licenses .. assuming the app is maintained, you have a chance to actively consider the value you're getting before renewal. A subscription feels far more passive.
I was not here arguing in favor of explicitly tiered memory. The implied answer to your original question, "why not have a pin to cache functionality?" is that it's effectively the same as having another OS managed memory layer, which is bad since it complicates the architecture. I'll take some cache misses over having to manage it explicitly.

I just wanted to echo the gray frustration here. I went to buy vinyl flooring (I can't afford hardwood) and the sheer amount of inexplicably "grey wood" planks was staggering. Why! Like, it's as if some alien only saw wood in an episode of I Love Lucy and wanted to replicate it.
See this is exactly the double standard I was talking about. Why do you just say that "settler violence is wrong But..."? It's not just settler violence that is the problem, it's the fact that the Israeli state completely backs said colonies. Why does Israel gets to exist, no matter what, but Palestinians can be displaced and removed at will if it allows Israel to keep existing?

Also, as I said in my other comment, the west bank did exactly what you suggest. They stopped the armed struggle, they started a more democratic path. In return, Israel has pushed colonies relentlessly. In that situation, why wouldn't the Palestinians fight? Just like Israel would fight anyone who tries to settler their land.
And to say that they left Gaza alone is just an outright lie. They have had control over every port of entry, with merchandise not being able to enter into Gaza with Israeli approval since... the 1980s. Before the Hamas boogeyman. They have also stated that they wanted to push for a return to settlements (a minister in nethanyahou's government said so overtly back in April). Again completely unpunished.

Also, what do Palestinians have to do with African slavery? Do we attribute that to all Arabs? Does that logic works too for blaming say, a Nigerian for something South Africans do? Do you blame Israelis for their treatment of Ethiopian Jews?
Your understanding is wrong. This is just an updated disclaimer that clarifies how it has always worked. Website owners have always had tricks to track you across sessions but Google is not granting itself any special privileges making this easier.
Understandably, many people are worried about the cheapening of their trades. Why go through the effort when you don't have to to meet a sniper and interview them for their training and experiences, or consult the world's foremost expert on niche period architecture (how we met? oh, it's quite a story) when you have the internet?

The thorn is that evidence of effective literature doesn't exist as an objective truth, but it often looks like sales. Writers who spend their careers being honest, thoughtful, and meticulous don't publish 20 books in two years, and they often don't make as much money as the Mark Dawsons. The business of being someone who manufactures and sells works of fiction in today's world is not radically different than ever in history, and it signals not the collapse, but the return of writing under our new publication and distribution models.

Pulps are not new, like light novels, themed writing periodicals, or any other historical light published media. They took a break for about 20 years as things moved online, and they've experienced a resurgence as web serials, ebooks, and KPD partners. I'm not surprised or offended by any of that, or the Mark Dawsons, even if I have no interest in their products. But then again, I'm not vested in the old models and afraid of disruption.

I think about this a lot and my conclusion is that is too narrow of view of what is happening.

I think it makes sense to use Solar PV as a main source of energy. I also think it makes sense to use other forms of solar energy for a sense of redundency.
I have an existing PV array that is nicely covering energy usage. I worry that I'm overly reliant on complex electronics and want to add Solar Thermal as a redundancy.

The solar thermal is actually a whole separate system with the same dependency on sunlight but the human made bits can all be different.

Cheap is a big part of this. Canada is on the not-cheap side, one of the few countries where streaming a show to your phone legitimately is more expensive than in the US.

The biggest benefit of working from home, which i have been doing since my older daughter (now an adult) was an year old. Self employed too, so have flexibility. I also home educate which would not have been as easy without working from home.

My last employer had childcare available onsite at work, and that should be more common too (I did not use it because my now ex did not work, but still very good for a lot of my colleagues).

I also find it sad how little time many parents have with their kids. We really need to make employment a lot more family friendly in general.

I have a house with 3 levels and when I moved in, 2 of those levels had analog thermostats. I'd be watching TV in the basement with the heat set to 68, go upstairs to bed, and realize I'd left the heat up so I'd trudge back down stairs, change the temperature, and then go back to bed. I ended up replacing everything with Nest thermostats within a few months so I could adjust them from my phone if necessary. Then Alexa came along and I could just lay in bed and tell it to do things, which was even more convenient.

I also have kids that are terrible at turning things off, so I've stuck one smart bulb in each of their rooms and quietly conditioned them to prefer that light to some of the switch-activated lighting so I can just centrally switch them all off once they're gone or when leaving the house without trekking around.
That analogy doesn’t work for art, since worker’s ditch is result based. There are no feelings like “i like this ditch”, “experience of a ditch” or “i’m curious how this ditch was dug”.

Again, i’m not saying buying a mass made AI art will be wrong. Just personally speaking, it will never evoke any feelings other than “looks neat” for me. So its inherent “art value” is close to 0 as I can guess its history is basically someone put in a prompt and sent it to print (which I can do myself on my phone too!). It’s the same as looking at cool building pics on my phone (0 art value) versus actually seeing them in person (non-0), mostly because the feelings I get from it. That being said, if it makes others happy, it’s not my place to judge.

Eh, some of the people I know with the worst WLB are people that do not take work that seriously during working hours. They end up living at the office basically because it takes longer for them to finish their tasks and they also end up with their social life/break time tied up in the company.

In this case, if it is disruptive enough to the call then that makes it take longer to get done what you need to do. The quicker you get done what you need to do, the quicker you are done with work. I'm not a fan of judging things just because they are "unprofessional" but there are unprofessional things that actually make everyone else's lives more difficult.
It's also worth noting that £100k in the UK puts you firmly into the top 5% of earners (according to the IFS anyway).

This comment betrays the old and persistent idea that lower status people are inherently shifty and lazy, while higher status people are inherently more virtuous.

Let’s say for argument’s sake that truck drivers proportionally engage in more risky behavior. This can be either the use of stimulants or simply driving tired. Why is that?

Drivers’ — like many low status workers — jobs security is more precarious and are monitored more. Therefore, they’re more likely to engage in risky behavior in a desire to simply not be fired.

Now let’s get back to pilots. Is it just that airline pilots are a high status job like ceo? Not entirely. Pilots are essentially no different than truck drivers in the sky. Ironically, it’s because planes themselves are tracked by a competent and vigorous government agency, that employers can’t put the same pressures on pilots that they can on truck drivers.

> WFH is a perk

To some people.

If you don’t see it as a perk, you should take that into account when negotiating salary.

For me personally (someone who doesn’t see it as a perk), I’d need a higher salary (compared to an in-office job) to consider a remote work arrangement – because I’d need to cover the cost of my coworking space.
