> someone claims that they're unable to work in an office because they're suffering from a stress disorder, it's reasonable to have some followup questions about how they manage the disorder on other occasions that call for them to leave home.

No it's not. It makes no sense to say "oh, you can't commute to work and then home again five times a week? so how do you get groceries?" because those are two completely separate things in completely separate environments.

It's none of Amazon's business how people manage their disabilities outside of work. The only thing that matters is what the most effective way of managing their disabilities is inside of work. Amazon is not your doctor, and if your doctor says that this is the most effective way for you to manage things while being productive then they need to accept that the doctor knows what they're doing.

I'm not sure if that's the right take: the Americans with Disabilities Act is maybe the most plaintiff-friendly tort law in the US. There's whole law firms specializing in finding viable plaintiffs to take on contingency (i.e at no cost).

> When I was young, I refused to learn geography because we had map applications. I could just look it up. I did the same for anything I could, offload the cognitive overhead to something better -- I think this is something we all do consciously or not.

This is certainly useful to a point, and I don't recommend memorizing a lot of trivia, but it's easy to go too far with it. Having a basic mental model about many aspects of the world is extremely important to thinking deeply about complex topics. Many subjects worth thinking about involve interactions between multiple domains and being able to quickly work though various ideas in your head without having to stop umpteen times can make a world of difference.

To stick with the maps example, if you're reading an article about conflict in the Middle East it's helpful to know off the top of your head whether or not Iran borders Canada. There are plenty of jobs in software or finance that don't require one to be good at mental math, but you're going to run into trouble if you don't at least grok the concept of exponential growth or have a sense for orders of magnitude.
> “We continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant."

I presume that's believe in the sense of faith, rather than believe in the sense of drawing reasonable conclusions from evidence. In other words, what are those advantages, and how do you know they exist at all, let alone their significance? As I recall, Amazon did pretty good during Work From Home, so why not start with the hypothesis that WFH is actually good for Amazon, then try disproving that with evidence.

If their Return to Office plan is itself a secret experiment to do just that, I apologize for jumping to the conclusion that they are making decisions under a combination of the sunk cost fallacy with respect to their commercial real estate, and the insane impulse to satisfy their management layer, while simultaneously shrinking their overall workforce size.
> By the 1980s, the problems of cost and complexity in software remained unsolved.

We’re well into the 2020s and I’d say those problems have pretty much remained unsolved. ;)
I think it's much more reasonable for a news outlet to have a political opinion than a social platform.
I think the worry around any of the system being abused is louder than the actual instances of abuse.

Fair enough. Reuters is a news wire. They're publishing it as a press release, but I could see how someone might be misled by that. Still incredibly different from Forbes-style sponsored content, or insinuating there is no difference between press releases and journalism. That's the post-truth nonsense that makes the American public incredibly easy to sell stuff to. But it comes with obvious disadvantages, too.

> But yes, in 2022 they were told by their Western customers that they have to leave if they want their products to be bought, and JB evacuated from Russia, relocated people and fired those, who refused to leave, blocked Russian customers and in some cases terminated their ongoing licenses, forced their employees to cut any cooperation with Russia (their head of Kotlin decided to quit the company due to this policy and returned to Russia).

And they're still considered Russian company, how hilarious.

They were choosing between being humiliated and losing customers, now they're both humiliated and losing customers.
Exactly.

It simply should not be allowed to do this. Nor maintain Actions without mandatory 2FA. All it takes is one account to be compromised to infect thousands of pipelines.

> Emacs is really struggling with it's tools.

First I've heard of this. As a long-time vanilla Emacs user, I'm using consult-ripgrep and rg-project for ripgrep interfaces, consult-buffer for fast buffer and file switching, Eglot for LSP integration (mainly with clangd), etc. I've also got org-mode for note taking, magit for speedy Git manipulation, etc.

And all without any visible menus or clutter.

I suspect that a power Emacs user and a power Neovim user are more akin here to each other than to VS Code users.

> Isn’t The Guardian a UK publication?

Yes and no. For many decades they only operated in the UK. More recently they have launched digital-only US and Australia editions, whose editors are based in the US and Australia respectively, creating content aimed at each country’s audience using local journalists, but the three editions share content for stories of global significance. But still their HQ is in the UK, and I believe their UK staff and readerships are significantly larger than their US or Australia operations
The odds definitely tell us that by now, we should be seen a vast swarm of Von Neumann self-replicating little machines all around us. I stand by those odds, that idea makes a lot of sense.

However, "Von-Neumman probes must exist if possible" is a very different statement from "UAPs are alien probes".
These coal plants are meant as backups. They specifically invented peakable coal plants so that they can fulfill that role. They even optimized the hell out of these coal plants: new Chinese coal plants are the most efficient in the world. These new coal plants also replace a bunch of older, more polluting plants.

A couple of years ago in China it was cloudy, non-windy, and dry at the same time for an extended period of time.

The energy transition isn't as simple as "build more solar, shut down coal".
That might matter if it weren't for forced arbitration clauses.
Everyone's brain is different, but I'd bet you'd be surprised by how good you are at things you rely on an IDE for (autocomplete, go to definition). For other stuff, sed and grep will cover 90% of your needs. Source: me, and I'm pretty good at this.
For the Linux version they dropped Docker support and went all in on Kubernetes via K3S, with a Helm charts repository to make it "easy" to get applications running.

This was, in hindsight, a poorly motivated move. Companies that need Kubernetes don't want to run it on their NAS, while for smaller shops and enthusiasts the complexity was way too high and limitations too severe.

So, they've now finally backtracked, and will go back to Docker Compose and dropping Kubernetes.

I had been holding on to the FreeBSD version of TrueNAS due to the complexity and limitations of Kubernetes, running my containers in a VM at quite reduced performance. While I like FreeBSD and ran FreeBSD 3 and 4 on my homelab server back in the days, Linux containers is where it's at for this use-case.

So I'm quite happy and excited for this change.

As opposed to to users on other social networks fact checking their articles? I find their US politics coverage to be more balanced and factual than other news outlets.
I still yet to hear anything close to a plausible explanation of the situation. We have super advanced alien species who can travel across the galaxy, or even the universe, and they have found us. They watch over us and even though their technology is beyond our comprehension, they're lazy enough to get caught a few times here and there. Why would they just watch? Are they really that lazy that they get caught? Surely they know and understand our capabilities. It just doesn't make sense.

People are seeing things that they can't explain. That warrants investigation. Definitive statements about how these are not human seem motivated by ideology instead of evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If that evidence is presented I'm happy to change my mind here, but none of this ever adds up.

For me the point is to not just consider something more reliable or credible, because there's a certain logo on that screenshot or image.

You should take a look at the content as well, which given those images, would've led you to believe that the content is just a statement of intention, but not anything really factual and therefore there's no credibility issue in the first place with the Coca Cola one.

If Coca Cola was making claims that we "we reduced plastic waste by 75%", then that would be a whole other ordeal, where maybe they are hiding some info, and I would be more inclined to consider Reuters credible, if they have a title "Coca Cola claims to have reduced plastic waste by 75%, but only according to this flawed metric".

Problem I have is only owning 1200s, and none of the gear to let those drive digital files.

Well from their post alone it seems they would impose their particular world-view in their comment section. Isn't Guardian a "news" outlet, by which being "neutral" and "accommodating to a plurality of ideas" is a inherent virtue?

Also it appears their editorial board and "community" is not able to defend their political stances on a free playground.

Yes, no one said find or grep are useless, far from it. The original premise was people using grep to look for a function in a code base, or find to get to a file (presumably to get to an include file or imported module by name). And they are definitely sub optimal for this - as you mention, even outside of an IDE, there are plenty of better tools to integrate with vim or nano or ed (the standard text editor!) or whatever you prefer.

I remember seeing a paper (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4274624/) that talked about how physical writing helps kids learn to read later. Typing on a keyboard did not have the same effect.

I expect the same will happen with math and numbers. To be fair you said primarily so you did not imply to do completely away with the paper. I am not certain though that we can do completely away with at least some pain. All the skills I acquired usually came with both frustration and joy.

I am all for trying new methods to see if we can do something better. I have no proof either way though that going 90% excel would help more people learn math. People will run both experiments and we will see how it turns out in 20 years.

Something I’ve noted is that when some leader says “things are rigged”, they’re not just randomly accusing things of being unfair. Instead what they’re saying is that they have receipts for the many times they’ve had things rigged in their favour and they’re just saying the quiet part out loud.

It’s just so cheap to buy influencers, push content with vote farms, and create artificial organic virulent content that it’s not even pocket money levels of expenditure for these people.

I always found Objective-C really elegant, due to its Smalltalk influence. I once read about Brad Cox explaining that the initial prototype was just one or two pages of C code to add objects and messaging. It was interesting to discover that Erlang had a similar origin story, with a thin layer built on top of Prolog [1]. Does a similar description of early Objective-C exist? I couldn't find a pointer in the videos.

To me there doesn't seem to be much downside. Moving can already be difficult and stressful, but if things get worse or continue to be bad OP will have to deal with that while dealing with the accumulated stress. If things are better for a short period that may be OP's ticket to have some breathing room and get out. If OP does move out, they can still remain friends and have a good relationship. People move all the time for all kinds of reasons.
