I spend 40 minutes a day commuting. Would I take a 50% pay cut for that? You know the answer.

Depending on how one is, working from home not only isolates you, but if you have kids, dealing with them on a daily basis while trying to work is not what you think it will be after months and years of doing so.

Yes, your life will change and be totally different.

I just need flexibility and variety. Some days I work better from home. Some days it feels claustrophobic and I cannot focus. Sometimes the office helps me focus. Sometimes it facilitates communications that never would have happened remotely. Other times I’m bogged down by unwanted social interactions. Sometimes I really need to be on site with customers or at a conference building and maintaining social ties.

I’ve worked in hybrid environments for over a decade and could never go back to a full RTO position. I’m currently mostly remote and that is also driving me a little crazy.

Some people do great in the office. Some do great remote. I’m not in either bin.

No. It is best to verify assumptions first before presenting them as facts. It is irritating to see this everywhere as the quality of discussion keeps going down.

In order to get the result of a promise in JS you have to await it (or chain it with 'then', much like .NET's 'ContinueWith' although it is usually discouraged). Consumption of tasks in .NET follows a similar pattern.

Async implementations in .NET and Python have also vastly different performance implications (on top of pre-existing unacceptable performance of Python in general).

The analyzer gives you a warning for unawaited tasks where not awaiting task indicates a likely user error.

Which is why if you want to fire and forget a task, you write it like '_ = http.PostAsync(url, content);` - it also indicates the intention clearly.
I run a remote company, so I don't have skin in trying to convince anyone that RTO is a good idea. And there might be some truth to this in a wider, more systemic sense, in that employers and employees are always in some degree of zero-sum negotiation. But...like, do you think management actually thinks in these terms?

I've known some pretty rich and powerful people. None of them talk this way behind closed doors, or at least they haven't around me. Even the ones that denigrate social programs or support for workers or poverty don't frame it this way. They think - rightly or wrongly - that it's a more effective way to run their company, usually because they don't trust workers not to abuse remote work, or sometimes because they've bought into some hustle-culture narrative that wanting comfortable work means you're not a Scrappy Highly Motivated Self Starter or whatever.
Of course it wouldn’t be hard to figure out a rough average on-call amount to pay during PTO

And yet it's never happened to me. Dozens upon dozens of systems. Linux or Windows or Mac for that matter.

I've toted around a laptop with whole disk encryption for > 15 years and never lost data. Not once. Even after a forced power off.

I have, however, lost data to major FS corruption on an OpenBSD system with no encryption whatsoever. More than once. Still using ancient MBR and legacy boot because, well, OpenBSD.
The current CoC came out from a particularly bad incident with Linus, which he signed off on at the same time as he went into therapy and started working on himself. There is a remarkable difference in the before and after.

> I'm not arguing that what Kent did was right or wrong, but I would be curious to hear what other ways people work with remote developers who are awful, especially when they work for other companies. You can't just fire them, so I understand the frustration here.

They absolutely can "fire" them, by making a decision not to accept any contribution from them.
I’ll get downvoted for this but so many people taking 15-50% paycuts without a moments thought, or trading 50% of pay for 3-4 hours back out of a 11-12hr workday (including commute) sort of implies that there are a lot of overpaid people right now.
So it's not unlike Portainer, but in a terminal?
I can see commuting being regarded as a total time waste requiring employer compensation in the US, where most people commuting are driving. But in countries where commuting is done via public transportation, the time spent commuting can be productively used for personal improvement in the form of reading.

They absolutely are at an advantage in hiring - our data set has remote companies with 5-10x the candidate pool of non-remote ones, even ignoring differences in salary asks.

The question is: are they at an advantage in effectiveness? I think they probably are, but it seems like a reasonably open question, one that we should see an answer to in the coming years. If in five or ten years remote companies aren't crushing non-remote ones, that's going to be pretty strong evidence that there is good reason for in-office work.
>but given a choice between retiring when my kid is 20 and being home with him every day throughout his whole childhood, there's no contest

This. So much this. I don’t want to start catching up on life after I’m 70 or 60 something and hate every minute before I retire.

Once I got my mortage, there is no more reasons to care about exact numbers that much.
I work in the healthcare industry. Because of this, a lot of people on my extended team still had to go to work, and see patients and their families face-to-face.

The worst part of 2020 for me was repeatedly removing coworkers from the intranet as they died.
Then they could train the next generation of models on those works. Nothing to scrape or ingest, since they already have the text on hand!
Yes but some of those databases are highly regulated and some are not, and the distinction between those (and in some cases deceptive advertising around it) is the crux of the issue here
I don’t think this is true. This is a lagging indicator and takes time to show the meaningful data. You’ll not get your productivity gains as your top talent leaves and everyone else who is salty will coast doing the bare minimum while looking for a new job. https://youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY?si=RQs2bo3w_ATv9X6e

I think companies that won’t adapt and embrace remote/hybrid will slowly decay.
He did apologize, but the apology was deemed insufficient by the CoC. AIUI they wanted a public apology?
How ridiculous, we will have to scale energy to meet the demand and it currently looks like nuclear will be the answer
There are many axes of complexity. Routine line of business systems, say an inventory management system for a car dealer, with a proper architecture costs should be additive instead of multiplicative, a certain cost to develop features such as “autocomplete control that draws values from a database row” and a certain cost to deploy that control. Double the number of screens using the same features and you double the cost but it feels like sub linear scaling because for the second tranche of forms you don’t have to redevelop the components and it can go much faster.

That ideal can be attained and you can be in control in application development but often we are not. When you are in control the conventional ideas anout project management apply.

As you get very big you start having new categories of problems, for instance a growing social system will have problem behaviors and you’d wish it was out of scope to control it but no, it is not out of scope.

Then there are projects which have a research component whether it is market research (iterate on ideas quickly) or research to develop a machine learning system or develop the framework for that big application above or radically improved tools.

A compiler book makes some of those problems look more regular like application programs but he project management model for research problems involves a run-break-fix trial of trying one thing and another thing which you will be doing even if you are planning to do something else.

Livingston, in Have fun at work says go along with the practices in the ocean you swim in (play planning poker if you must) but understand you will RBF are two knobs on run-break-fix: (a) how fast you can cycle and (b) the probability distribution of how many cycles it will take. Be gentle in schooling your manager and someday you might run your own team that speaks the language of RBF.

Unit tests put a ratchet in RBF and will be your compass in the darkest days. They enable the transition to routine operation (RBF in operations is the devil’s antipattern!)

They are not a religion. You do not write them because a book told you so, you write them for the same reason a mountain climber wears a rope and if you don’t feel that your tests are muda, waste as they say in Japan.
Yeah, it’s more about the maintenance requirements of these models than anything else.
What is "the fleet"? This hits different companies in different ways. S7 which prior to the war was a very well received and modern airline has a meaningful number of those. For S7 31 out of 39 planes (with those engines) are out of service or about to go out of service. The total fleet today is only around 85 planes depending on how you count, and most of the planes that were ordered are not being produced for S7 at the moment. That's a pretty significant blow to the airline.
I suppose the bet from executives is: recession/influx of former government employees will allow for relatively easy replacement of candidates. I am not sure which consideration is more cynical and/or misguided.
Cool. BTW, the sun shines white, not yellow.

A better hypothesis would be that there are diminishing returns for the hours in a day a person has. Getting back 4 hours when you are currently working 12 hours has a ton more impact than getting back 4 hours when you only work eight.

Specifically S7 seems to be quite impacted (and they're about the only company impacted), but it sounds like it's mostly due to the low quality of these planes.
Had great scrollbars. When dragged there would be a shadow to show where the bar was. So you could go back if needed. Also the first platform I noticed that you could middle click the scrollbar to move directly, or control click the titlebar to lower. Though those conventions may have been from Motif?

It listed wm hot keys on the window menu and had vector icons. Yes, believe it was the best desktop of the era.

Would like to see an improved version of it, not merely a faithful reproduction. I hesitate to say modern because it often means dumbed-down. But made for higher resolution would be great.

This is a critical point. There seems to be an obsession with “making money so you can retire early” and then what? Your children are grown and left home, you’ve often sacrificed them as well as your own physical and mental health, you don’t have the energy you had in your youth, for what? So you can play golf with other retirees? Or maybe you saved up enough that you can invest in a new startup. Okay fine but that’s not retirement, in fact it may be more work.
My reading of it is that they both were being jerks. In particular, the whole "I supported my argument with references, but it's YOUR job to locate those arguments" never sits well with me.

Reminds me a bit of this time I had FINALLY gotten someone to volunteer to help out with maintenance, and his first action was met with someone being a real jerk. I called them out on it and they started attacking me. I never replied, but I did get an "appology" from them: [paraphrased] "I'm sooo sorry... That I sent that from my work address. Please don't get me fired, I need this job."
"Open office" - I've never been healthier (and fitter) than since I went remote. Not sharing an open office with coughing sneezing co-workers who would come in, no matter what, and commuting on trains, has been remarkable. I'd previously have 2-3 heavy colds a year. I think I've now had 1 in 5 years.
Absolutely - if you want to make this distinction. I put logger.debug() and print() in the same bucket; if you're fancy, you've configured your print to emit logs or configured your linter to forbid print calls.
It’s the original. Andrew McCarthy links to it from both his Twitter and Instagram accounts. It’s his own website.
I don’t think Betterment distributes funds to centralized accounts like Synapse does, it establishes accounts in your name at those partner banks and provides a unified interface over those funds. You can do the same thing yourself by going to each bank individually and opening up accounts manually, but then you’d have to deal with KYC for each one and their online banking interfaces of varying quality. That’s how they get their $2 million insurance number, since they open accounts at 8 banks and FDIC insures $250k per account.

That was my understanding when I looked into Betterment Cash Reserve (I ended up just going the manual route because I’m paranoid).
> I am starting to wonder if the management wants to ensure people in general do not make that connection ( and just want to have, ideally, serfs barely making ends meet ).

One big reason is they are very worried about their stock grants due to the stock value nosedive that will occur once they finally have to write off all those office space leases as actual losses and report the loss on their SEC forms.

If they can force RTO then all the money being spent for office space leases remains in the "business expense" category and the stock price does not tank as a result.
Are you saying: our colleagues have performed poorly while WFH, and because of their poor performance, management is forcing RTO on everyone?
I mean the FDIC is an insurance program, if it extends insurance to entities that haven't bought in their risk profile changes.
The problem is not the planes, but the maintenance requirements for the engines on those planes and Russia cannot do any maintenance due to the sanctions.

In general flying in Russia has been a pretty questionable experience since the beginning of the war. Their regulator is still barely functional at this moment and a lot of secrecy is happening. For instance you will find barely any incidents reports any more.

We have been intentionally avoiding Russian airlines for flights in and out of Russia for our family for the last few years due to safety concerns.
Overpaid? Doubt it.

You might want to slow down a bit and re-read what the person actually said in their comment.
Agreed, but print debugging should also not be entirely dismissed. It is not the first tool you should reach for, but it is a valuable tool when your more sophisticated tools fail or are not a good fit for the job.

It also ties into the importance of logging. If you know how to do print debugging well you'll know how to do logging well. And while a crash dump is very useful and allows you to inspect the crash with a debugger, only a good log can give you the necessary context to determine what led up to the crash.
Yeah, and if the homeless people outside the office heard the security guard complaining about their low pay imagine how they would feel.

The “somebody has it worse” argument always ends up pushing people to accept getting screwed over.
> Why all those other attempts to explain async/await don't just say this I can't imagine.

On one hand, the people who write explanations are usually those who have lived through a language's history and learned things gradually, and also have context of how things were solved (or not) before a feature was introduced.

On the other hand, the people who are looking for an explanation, are usually just jumping directly to the latest version of the language, and lack a lot of that context.

Then those who do the explaining underestimate how much their explanations are relying on that prior context.

That's why I think the ideal person to explain something to you, is someone with an experience as similar as possible to your own, but also knows about the thing that you want to know about. Because this way they will use terms similar to those you would use yourself. Even if those terms are imprecise or technically incorrect, they would still help you in actually understanding, because those explanations would actually be building on top of your current knowledge, or close to it.

This is also why all monad explanations are... uh... like that.
Thanks, this is helpful.

So first we need to answer does math follow physics or does physics follow math?

If math follows physics, and the physics is changing across universes in the multiverse in question, then no you're assertion is wrong.

If physics follows math, then we would have to go up the level higher, and we're not talking about that right now.
Articles like these are a good example that while Russia often tries to downplay or outright deny the sanctions have any effect on them, they do work. This is only one specific example with a specific plane model, but their whole airline industry is facing similar issues on many fronts. Many repairs that used to be business as usual are now either prohibitively expensive or downright impossible due to the sanctions. Similar problems exist across a wide range of industries in Russia. There's a reason why they closed off their stock market, they can't afford to let the full impact be visible.
Honestly, if you're not a radical in the year 2024, you haven't been paying attention.

I travel around a lot (a thing I can do because I work remotely). From SF to Seattle to Tampa to Salt Lake to the small-town corners of the Carolinas, everyone is struggling. You can feel it in the air, find people identifying with it in every conversation, see the slow decay of every place you know. The dead mall in your hometown, your phone forcing a prompt to take your data to train some AI, the favelas that are now the norm in every major city (regardless of local policy), the fact that you now get a prompt for what is effectively a payday loan when you try to order a pizza.

I think people underestimate how poisonous that is to a culture and to a body politic. When you don't believe in reform, you either shrug and let things burn, or you start setting the fires yourself. Neither bodes well.
I look at this and think "wow, I wish I could think big enough to do things at the efficient level even though it's so far outside the easy and 'normal' path." Privileging an arbitrary intuition like "AI should use less electricity than a city" would be irrational.
If employers pay for commute time they can also use home location as a hiring criterion.
What's striking to me is that the parents sued. RNH passed off AI-generated text as their own when they knew how to cite AI generated works and were versed in academic integrity. It wouldn't occur to me to sue the school if this was my kid.
The serenity I had while sitting in a train is the only thing I seek from my office days. I actually listened to audio books and learned, or just watched outside and thought about nothing.

Catching cold every 2 to 6 weeks on winter wasn't amazing though.
Absolutely this. A down payment in the valley is enough to buy outright in most of the USA.
>In June, the FDIC made it clear that its insurance fund doesn’t cover the failure of nonbanks like Synapse, and that in the event of such a firm’s failure, recovering funds through the courts wasn’t guaranteed.

Apparently not FDIC insured, despite the advertising. How is a consumer supposed to know whether their money is with a true “bank” or with a “fintech”?

Edit Re-read your comment again and we are saying the same things
I think a lot does boil down to generational differences in real estate entry prices.

Sometimes I think millennials fell into a trap following GenX back to urban living, but missed out on the sweet spot late 90s/early 00s where cities were attractive but also cheap.

I worked with guys 10 years older than me who bought apartments at 1/5 the prices my generation saw, but had starting salaries more than 1/2 of what ours were.
