Precisely my observation of the capital vs labor aspect of COVID.

We all got a taste of the flexibility the C-suite has always exercised, and they don't like that. Now that the job market has turned enough they are trying to take it away as hard & fast as possible.

It would take a serious downturn to kill it completely and even then I doubt it. While you don't see a lot of arcade games in offices anymore, they didn't get people back to wearing suits...

As soon as you get into competition for talent, in-office 2~3-day vs 4-day, or hybrid vs full in-office will quickly become a selling point again.

>Unfortunately I already get rid of my toaster because it got so dirty

I highly doubt that a dishwasher run would change that.

The real reasons not to use the dishwasher are:

— dishwasher isn't a replacement from scrubbing

— caked-on grease will still be there

— you'd need to clean your dishwasher afterwards (more work)

— it's far easier to shake the bread crumbs out when they're dry (and there's a convenient latch on the bottom for that) than if they're wet and stuck to the insides

— There's a potential for rust to form somewhere inside the toaster, which will not make it work (or look) any better. That's not specific to toasters.

Crumpled aluminum foil does wonders for cleaning metallic surfaces from rust and burned grease though. And chemical solutions like 409 can make everything else sparkling clean.
There seems to be a bug in Chromium-based browsers where, if you type e.g. `color: blue` in the textarea, it only highlights the r before the colon, rather than the whole property name. If you copy+paste the text instead, it works properly. (Still, that doesn't detract from this being really cool, of course!)
What a stupid thing to lie about lol
It's much more subtle, fraud is accepted and part of the business. Even if you are not 100% certain of the identity of the person, what matters is how likely you are going to get paid back.

For example, when you purchase online, some merchants do not check who is the owner of the card, or the address. It's done on purpose, because some people borrow the card of the others, some people don't want to use their card, etc. And overall it's all about risk management, but if the holder is really the one in front of you is just one factor among others.
Yeah. Tooltips are a big loss. They would be so easy to implement but nobody seems to care anymore.
A gamed a contest into a brief TV career once.

A British computer TV show ran a content on their web site, but it was a fast-paced multiple-choice Flash game. I just opened three accounts. Ran through it with the first two to figure out all the right answers, then got perfect scores on the third.

The prize was to co-present the show one time, but apparently they got so much positive feedback they made me permanent, until I found a new job. I never let them know I cheated :/

This is the show. I only did it because I had a huge crush on Kate Russell:

well, it only assumes that bidets are subjectively better to many people, which they certainly are; it doesn't rely on the assumption of an objective, observer-independent scale of valuation in the way you're describing

Ahh, another month, this listing is back again, and I still haven't heard anything. Likely fake.
It's management's attempt at cargo-culting success. But success has more to do with good ideas combined with talent than anything else. It has nothing to do with where the talent rests their butts during the day.

I remember the office days - it was a room full of silent people, all chatting away on Slack. We can do that literally from anywhere.

Cloudflare does offer rate limiting - it's in Security / WAF / Rate limiting rules.

On the free plan it is perhaps a bit limited in the rules you can create (match based on bot or URL regex, limit by # requests per IP per 10 seconds). But still pretty useful for slowing stupid requests.

Google is falling behind because at a certain point, employees will look at the tenuous connection between the company's overall success and their individual success, and make the rational choice to prioritize the latter even if it is not aligned with the former. That means finding any and all justifications for additional headcount, not collaborating across teams, making decisions based exclusively on short term considerations, etc. In short, doing whatever it takes to get promoted. Why would anyone take a risky bet on a low probability high upside project?

As a potential Mr. Doe, I'd love to have an ability to opt in to a stricter mode of banking. I would voluntarily ask my bank to refuse certain types of transactions in my name unless my identity can be confirmed by secure machine-readable means at my presence; internal phone calls should not qualify. It could be a bank card, or a passport — yes, both can be physically stolen, but it's much harder to pull off, and I would immediately warn my bank when I notice.

How to Improve Personal Brand
How often do you think about your personal brand? I’ll admit, some days it’s front and center, while other times it barely crosses my mind. However, it’s crucial to understand that building a strong personal brand can dramatically enhance your job search by boosting your visibility, credibility, and appeal to potential employers.

So, how can you stand out? Start by consistently showcasing your expertise across platforms like LinkedIn and other social media. Actively engage in networking, participate in industry discussions, attend events, and make new connections—even if you're an introvert like me. Finally, ensure that every aspect of your online presence reflects a cohesive and memorable brand, making you more attractive to employers and opening the door to more opportunities.

What tips do you have to help enhance personal branding?
Yeah, this is a fake listing. Illusion of growth.
Usually syntax makes things easier, certainly for types. That's why we have syntax.

your comment is incorrect from beginning to end

- yogurt is not animal fat; it's milk, with or without the fat, but the crucial part for yogurtmaking is the lactose and protein, because that's what the bacteria eat

- 'animal fat' is ambiguous but usually refers to adipose tissue cut from the body of an animal, which yogurt essentially never contains

- while initially you inoculate the yogurt with a tiny quantity of bacteria, they multiply exponentially, doubling about 20 times, or a factor of a million. most of the bacteria die before yogurtmaking is complete, but the majority of the non-liquid mass of the yogurt at the end consists of living or dead bacteria
Yeah that’s a fair point.

This is why I love Ruby 2.7's numbered block parameters: https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/2.7.html#number...

I've always hated the pattern where you have to declare a throwaway param name within a block for cases where the `::Symbol#to_proc` syntax won't work, like when the method you're trying to call needs some argument. They usually end up as nonsense single-characters anyway so they may as well just be numbers I don't have to think about!

Eric Schmidt says remote work is why Google’s lagging in AI, but was early success just about time clocked in the office and in person collaboration? I really doubt it. The real issue to me is the high number of “rest and vest” hires and how big companies manage talent when they grow past 10k employees.

Blaming remote work feels lazy and very clickbaity, productivity is way more complex. I personally gravitate towards being in person at the office as much as possible but I would never say my remote coworkers are less productive because they work from home.
You replied to:

it has been underway for much longer and was built with people with actual browser engine experience

The key point is that Ladybird was developed by one person (not people) with some browser engine experience over a realtively short period, using only personal resources. While Andreas Kling worked on WebKit, his experience wasn't at the level of building an entire engine, which is evident from his videos. Experience alone isn't enough; he learned much of what he needed while developing Ladybird. While Andreas Kling is talented, many other developers on his team were equally skilled and yet he's the only WebKit developer I am aware of who built a browser on his own.

A task that not long ago was considered too hard to tackle, he proved it can be done even by people with relatively modest experience on building a browser.

It should be highlighted that Andreas main skills are his tremendous communication skills and the way he builds a mental model of the problem he's trying to solve, not his past WebKit experience (he wrote an entire OS, before building a browser for the OS he built, as a side project)
This is not how you do it.
"It's not our managerial incompetence and lack of focus, it's those lazy devs working from home"

Google has been faltering on anything beyond old staples like Search and Gmail for over 15 years way before WFH was anything there.

And even search and gmail are more sustained by momentum, rather than innovation, and have been worsening continuously...
How strange, I’m the complete opposite. I’d never go back to letting corporates dictate how I engage with content; I even avoid recommender algorithms for the same reason. Being able to choose is so valuable to me.
Google in comparison to say an Apple or Amazon just never had product focussed or customer-focussed leadership. Contrast Sergey/Larry/Eric vs Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos.

Sergey & Larry had a fun research project that could make a lot of money, then moved on to other things that were fun for them.

Eric was the hired adult supervision and probably most responsible for the org structure they ended up with.

The origin, leadership and structure of Google has far more to do with its products than where its devs sit.

As a beneficiary, it's nice, but overall I believe it's unfair that homeowners get a tax break, while renters do not.

Also it's a bit of a wash, as prices end up reflecting the tax break because bidders are ultimately going right up to their budget, and they take that into account.

I wish there was enough housing so that it isn't seen as some sort of investment vehicle that distorts prices for basic human necessities.
> Driving a car uninsured should have some extremely stiff penalties.

I want to agree with you, but wonder if you have ever been poor? When you need the car to get to work so you can feed your kids, but you can't afford all of

- feed kids
- rent
- insurance

because you got hit by a surprise medical bill (kid got sick, maybe?)

I'm strongly in favor of your end goal (less car-dependent life), I'm just cautious about using punishment as a way to get there.

Very basic, maybe stupid question: If you're not changing your portfolio strategy or altering your weights, does this work by rebalancing your investment every so often, so that the % of total dollars you hold in an index continues to match the weights you set?

Like if a customer creates an index that's 50% AMD and 50% NVDA, and you put $100 in that index, does the customer have some underlying account that initially apportions $50 to each, and then if the next day their NVDA is worth $52 and their AMD is worth $48, the system will sell $2 worth of NVDA and buy $2 worth of AMD?

And if that's so, can you set target thresholds for when you want it to rebalance? Like, not until one stock deviates more than 10% from its ideal weight?
You're getting it! This is what people want! I say this only half joking because I think you get it, so no /s required :)

This is absolutely ridiculous statement. I have been invited to Google HQ several times. There is an entire culture there that is to blame, working from home is the smallest of the problems.

I would say risk aversion is the biggest problem by far. Google culture is also radically woke. Google is made by PhDs that always wanted to isolate from the world, they had always very weak customer support, everything was automated and had no contact with the customer so they ended isolated from the needs of your customers and lived in their own world.

On one side you see super brilliant people there. On the other you see total disconnection with the needs of the people because they were isolated on purpose.

Google was designed so people could almost live on campus, most of the time. So you could have 30, or 40 year old adults that are actually like children, not taking responsibility for their lives, isolated from the world most people live. How are you supposed to improve the world when you do not have incentives to improve it because you are not feeling the pain?

Your world is totally different from most people's.

This was obvious to me as an outsider. It is difficult to se culture from inside as you get used to it.

The old generation never understands. Science improves one funeral at a time.

> you only need to look at Zuckerberg and Meta,

As much as I don't like what meta is doing in certain areas of their business, I think Zuckerberg has a pretty good corporate structure. From talking to colleagues and interview series I've been to there, it's a very "engineer-led" culture. Managers, at least a few years ago, were allegedly not even supposed to call it "their" team, they were supposed to say "supporting this team," etc. Very small nuances like that can actually cause a big shift in culture. It's also very flat, from what I understand. The most dysfunctional corporate environments I ever see typically have 5+ management layers above the lowest person on the tech rung. To me, that's ridiculous. It's just managers managing managers managing managers managing managers all the way down to the poor guys at the bottom trying to figure out what the heck is going on - it's impossibly anti-productive and prone to corruption.
