> If you are working a minimum wage job, and you are being made to work excessive hours, what is your recourse? What is your bargaining power?

That's the question. What is your bargaining power? All you have is your ability to stop working. Which, indeed, can exert power –– But if you are poor how long can you really go without work before you starve to death?

The rich can afford to sit around and wait until the over side caves. But unless you working excessive hours is the only thing keeping a business afloat (in which case, what do you stand to gain?), most likely they can outlast poor you with ease. Once you give up, your power is gone.

If you can't go without work for weeks, months, maybe even years, the business will quickly recognize your idle threat is just that. It is not just coincidence that unions are rare in professions where there isn't a whole lot of money floating around.

> Well, I can tell you a very real scenario.

This doesn't appear to speak to bargaining power, just communication. No power was needed to be exerted. If it came to a point where power needed to be exerted, how long would your mother have actually lasted? Assuming she could have lasted long enough, perhaps she wasn't as poor as you let on?
What are you actually arguing against here? The article is about a variety of different phenomenon, some of which can be interpreted as a neuronal "dictatorship" (e.g. escape actions) and some of which can't (e.g. monkey arm movement).

I don't think you can characterise something as complex as a mind with a simple argument by contradiction.

> So the word viking, and the period 800 to 1066, show a very limited view of the northern European history.

I'm Danish and I think that it's cool that you like our history, but I would encourage you to be a little more inclusive as far as the word "Viking" goes. As I understand it the word has an origin in what the people around "Viken" called them selves in the period. This is the area around the Oslo fjord and Skagerrak, and it's actually a lot less "sexy" when you know that the word "vig/vik" means "bay". Anyway in Denmark, Norway and Sweden (and possibly more Scandinavian countries) we actually call the period vikingetiden (The Viking Age). I know that a lot of the popular culture (and even academic) focus on the age is on the BERSERKERGANG parts. Probably not too surprising considering ordinary life was really rather mundane, with around 95% of populations in Denmark/Norway/Sweden being regular iron age farmers. I don't think this should discourage you from using the word "viking", however, I don't know any Scandinavians who would think less of you at least.

What we dislike is the cultural appropriation by far right fools. Which has gotten so bad, even here, that I sort of need to wear a giant rainbow hat to signal that I'm "safe" to be around if there is a pride or whatever going on in my town because I look sort of evil to some people. I'd probably describe me as a biker dadbod + beard and tattoos.

> The east coast of England was dotted with roman forts, defended by fast moving Dalmatian cavalry against raids from the north sea. As soon as the romans left we see an invasion of people from Denmark and northern Germany.

This part is especially interesting to me personally. Maybe not so much what happened in England, but the consequences of the Romans leaving France with France subsequently getting rather serious about "being good at civilization". Which meant that they attacked as far as into Danish Sønderjylland, pushing the northern germanic and scandinavian people toward expansion elsewhere. Which is what lead to we now know as the "viking routes"

Anyway, don't let certain representations of "viking culture" (whatever they may be) discourage you from using the word "viking".
> 21 annual leave days per year.

What do you mean you only get 21 days leave per year? The statutory entitlement you must be offered is 28 days, see https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights

Maybe you’re not including the bank holidays, which an employer can include in the 28 days but this must be clear in your contract.

> will be pushing over the £100k mark which here in the UK is a trap which means you pay 62% tax rate on every £ over 100k until £125k where it drops back to 47% for every £ over. - I am contributing heavily to pension, but maxed out employer contributions.

Your small employer should let YOU contribute more pre-PAYE without any matching. That’s because the employer saves money too as they don’t pay Employer NI tax on the PAYE salary you avoid. If not, you can contribute personally post-PAYE and claw back income tax.

And you probably already know since you contribute “heavily”, but tax bands like 100k are POST pension contribution: if you take in £110k you can put £10k in pension and stay under the limit. You can contribute up to £60k pa and reduce the amount of higher rate (40%) tax you pay, too.

I’d never take equity personally.

20-50 employees making £3-5M ARR does not sound very lucrative to me, either. A nice family business, but not any signal of a business hitting paydirt.
> start of a Chinese banking collapse.

I don't really see how this is possible. If the government didn't want a collapse to happen, they can always print more RMB and loan it to the struggling banks on 'pay it back in 100 years' type terms and kick the can down the road till it isn't a problem anymore.

Windows Security best practices for integrating and managing security tools
I think there is a fundamental difference depending on what kinds of users you are targeting and how often they're using your app. Blender is a prime example of software for professionals, that are also willing the spend a considerable amount of time on learning the UI. A lot of software is not targeting a similar audience and should limit cognitive overload.
I wasn’t aware that WKWebView granted the app such power. Is there a way for me as a user to figure out if WKWebView or SFSafariViewController is being used if I have a web page open? Although I don’t use FB, I do use the web view of other apps and don’t want them to be able to do this either.
Touch interfaces have less pointing precision, but more swiping precision compared to mouse interfaces. The optimal touch interface probably involves lots of pie menus and/or drag-and-drop gestures that ought to easily compensate for the somewhat increased size of initial touch targets. (Note that, by contrast, these gestures tend to be quite awkward when using mouse or touchpad input.)
Then time for them to group up and change the game. Not going to make excuses for corps. It's their responsibility to push, not mine to apologize for them.

I think all software is a balance of factors, from performance to ease of use to DX to maintainability, cost, etc.

I don't think most tables need to be as peformant as possible, especially when a slow render is still measured in sub-seconds.

That level of performance is totally fine for many use cases. If you have a special need for large datasets, yes, you should pay more attention to how that's optimized.

But for your average bog standard web app, I think any framework will be just fine, performance wise, on any 10 ish year old device. If it's slow, it's more likely because of ads, tracking, large media, poor caching, distance from a CDN, etc. Especially since React these days is typically rendered to HTML during the build anyway and then rehydrated for interactivity later.

React isn't a performance optimization to begin with, but a DX improvement and architecture abstraction lib (vs vanilla or jQuery). It makes some apps much easier to write and maintain across generations of low cost developers. The performance is a small sacrifice, but it's usually not even noticeable.

For performance critical apps, probably you'd just bypass the DOM anyway and draw to canvas instead, and offload all the heavy processing to wasm.

Yeah, compared to the 90s, our computers and modems are much faster and used less efficiently. But there are billions more users and millions more developers of various skill levels now, and that's just a tradeoff we get for mass adoption. It's no longer just a tool for elites, but just another tool in the office, and often times a race to the bottom like anything else in business (in terms of React devs being low cost commodities). A small React team can put together a functional app much quicker and cheaper than with vanilla, at the cost of some usually negligible performance. Probably a good tradeoff for most apps.

If you're talking about web apps in general, compared to desktop or CLI apps, then yeah, I agree that it's a bit of a shame this is what won the desktop platform wars. At least on mobile we have native apps (which often feel much faster than anything web based), so there's that at least.
It's defective because the browser's find feature does not work.
HSTS is https required and it needs to be a validated cert; issued by a trusted CA and not expired (maybe also not before the not before date). And the usual ignore it and move on button is gone.

Doesn't help if you're worried about a trusted CA issuing a cert for your domain without your approval though. Certificate transparency helps a bit with that; Chrome requires certs issued with a not before after april 30, 2018 to be in CT logs[1], so at least you'll be able to know a certificate was issued for your domain. If that happens, you can ask the CA/Browser forum to investigate and there's a good chance the CA will get kicked out if there's not a good explaination of what happened. That's not perfect but it's better than without CT when you could only know about an unauthorized cert if you managed to see it.

[1] I think max validity was two years back then, so all current certs need logs
Microsoft’s bean counters immediately set about milking as much profit from Minecraft as they can right after the purchase, be through Minecoin, premium skins, or by collecting PII via requiring phone numbers from everyone for “SMS verification” due to “security alert” blackmail (total joke—the attacker could just as well provide their own phone number and lock me out—except, of course, there is no actual suspicious activity: my account was never hacked, and I was not playing for years).

It was the first game I bought in my life, and 30 EUR was quite a chunk of change. Since the acquisition, it stopped being a game I have; it is now a game that Microsoft may or may not let me play. As a result, I don’t bother.

We were just at one of these near Beloit. A family member’s band had a small gig. They sell about 100 pizzas on weekends they’ve booked a band. During weekdays, they have limited hours for their store (produce, etc.), and occasionally have breakfast hours. It’s a real farm, but the acreage is small so they also have day jobs.

It didn’t occur to me that it might be a Wisconsin thing and I still suspect these exist everywhere, because the trend seems more about it being easy to buy and install wood-fired pizza ovens, to make and market new Pinterest-ish outdoor event venues, and to work remote jobs that support hobby farming.
Sure, it's a gross generalization, games and embedded have an excuse. Though I don't think C++ was that big in the mid-90s on games side yet, it was more C.

I'm glad I could amuse you but your smugness is unwarranted. I am well aware that this is aimed at library writers but everyone probably should be getting warnings for this crap anyway. Tell me when you can opt me into the warning some other way besides polluting the code with more Byzantine compiler-specific annotations. Are there really so many false positives and legitimate uses of this behavior that you have to opt in on a function by function basis? I could accept that possibility but inquiring minds want to know that there isn't a better way to do this that truly maximizes the benefit of the new feature. I don't want to create more work for myself reading or writing annotations because there are already so many things to think about. The only time I could see myself using this annotation is if the code is so complex (possibly due to crap like this) that I can't tell if this one specific error can happen and I somehow remember this obscure feature that day.

Yes...? I think maybe there are some threads getting mixed up here? There are some sibling/cousin threads discussing performance more in depth. My post you replied to is just pointing out that 300 cells isn't really enough to measure any sort of meaningful performance.
If I remember right Deep Work by Cal Newport talks about Bell Labs and how that came to be such an epicentre of invention back in the day. The author reckons that the architecture of the building had a lot to do with it. It allowed the employees to do uninterrupted, concentrated work when needed but then when exiting their offices the design of the building facilitated lots of chance encounters with other people in other departments which meant a lot of exchanging of ideas and knowledge. You don't get this kind of "hive mind" effect with remote work.
Schenkerian analysis is, broadly speaking, a rediscovery and popularization of melodic reduction approaches that were well known to composers and performers in the 18th century. There's very little that's specifically American about it, let alone German. See Nicholas Baragwanath, The Solfeggio Tradition: A Forgotten Art of Melody in the Long Eighteenth Century. And of course, Schenker's "imaginary continuo" is readily understood as a popularization of historical partimento (and closely comparable approaches such as the so-called Partitura known from German sources).

It's true though that Schenker's treatises included plenty of political asides of such an extreme chauvistic character that to call them "quite right wing" is a huge understatement. (It's also true that, as scholarly research has pointed out in recent years, he seems to have expressed similarly extreme views in his private correspondence and other private writings.) Part of this might perhaps be explained as Schenker's awkward overcompensation for what would've been his remarkably humble origins back then (he came from a small village in what was then Austrian Galicia, now in modern Ukraine). Regardless, I think we nowadays have so many sources proving the relevance of melodic reduction/elaboration approaches (some of them quite early indeed, from the 16th-17th centuries) that to tie these analytical approaches polemically to Schenker and his specificities is really quite pointless, perhaps even misleading.

The issue I have with tailscale/headscale is that its focus isn't being an end user app that people can start on demand.

Hamachi was different because a child could use it (literally). It was designed like an instant messenger, and you could easily create groups and invite friends for a LAN party. No IP masks, no hashes, none of that complicated stuff was necessary.

I'd only see maybe a tool that was built on top of headscale that could do that, but headscale's focus is too far off for something like that, and in my opinion too low level.

Why do you think it matters at all?

The choice to pay interest on what is in fact a balancing item in the accounts is a political choice. Just don't do that and then those ratios are irrelevant.

We have a floating rate exchange system. Quite why people think ratios from a fixed exchange rate era remain relevant is difficult to understand.

Other than that is what they really want to go back to - one world currency with no variation and governments completely unable to direct resources for the benefit of their own people, rather than global capital.

The world has excess production. Where is the untapped source of demand that will replace the current net import nations? There isn't any. That's why those with excess production swap that excess production for promises, rather than physical output.
