Hopefully one outcome of this is renewed support for building out the nation's internet grid and other infrastructure. In 2020 we have the technology to be vastly more resilient to all kinds of disasters and pandemics.

Critical Infrastructure and Pandemic Preparedness initiative, etc.

Kind of an interesting angle. YouTube is limited in how it can compete against the film monopoly/oligopoly due to broader anti-trust concerns at Google

I think if things flip and remote becomes the primary, and co-location becomes rare we'll also see some companies that are able to use co-location as a competitive advantage.

But I agree that remote (and the practices it encourages) are currently a competitive advantage.

If the code (you copy-pasted) works but you don't understand why then it doesn't work.

Or at least you have no idea whether it actually solves any problem besides the exact scenario you tested it for, and no idea if it's even possible to maintain it.

So your advice for low stress white collar work is... find one that you can automate easily so you don't have to do it?

On the other hand, the potential value to the Podcast is a better long term revenue stream from old content.

Most likely a worse experience as listener though. And you could make the argument it's worse for the ecosystem/community/relationship between Podcast and listener as well.

Constructive feedback is the key. No one is going to feel good about getting back a score card that says "Communication: 6/10, Technical Ability: 5/10..." etc. That just leaves you with more questions and no actionable feedback. "6/10? I'm at least 7/10!" or "I'm mostly 6-7s, why was I not given an offer".

I've seen plenty of bad reviews on Glassdoor for companies providing no or vague feedback; usually the negativity of the review is in proportion to the amount of time the candidate invested and the level of feedback given.

I've also seen good reviews on Glassdoor from candidates who weren't hired but were given prompt and appropriate feedback.

Maybe a place for a hybrid identity solution as well? Where you could be "user@mastodon.social" but also have a more numerical/cryptographic id (like a GUID or Pub/Private key pair).

One to make it easy to find and connect as users, and the second to make it easier to move between instances.

This is pretty cool.

Mnesia (one of the databases built into Erlang) has a similar ability to subscribe to its tables that I've used for realtime updates in some demo projects.

What do you think will take their place? Do you think something will replace DNS?

To play devil's advocate: Scar tissue doesn't get passed to offspring or propagated throughout the population though.

Isn't the price like $12 a year? So prepaying 10 years would be $120? That's not an insignificant amount, but it's not like you're going to make a life-changing profit by investing it either.

Locking down [your-name].org for 10 years carries its own value proposition beyond the mere calculation of price today vs in the future.

Which makes it a good demonstration of both technologies.

Kind of like using Google translate to go from English -> Something -> English. In theory a perfect translation would give you back your original input exactly.

Of course this should be more feasible with programming languages than with human languages.

I'm not sure if I can agree with you there. Do you really think it's more expensive and slower to build an app with the exact same functionality today than 10 years ago? 15?

I would instead argue that websites today tend to have far more features and functionality than their counterparts of 15 years ago.

The default i3 status bar actually has a tray for all of those things to run in. You just have to make sure to add the programs to your i3 config to be started.

For example, for my network widget I added "exec --no-startup-id nm-applet" to my i3 config file.

Ah! I tried clicking every except on the path itself!

Just tried it out.

Clicking on the buttons with a laptop trackpad was tedious and unintuitive.

It would be nice if I could use the arrow keys (or even WASD) on my keyboard.

Other than that it seems preferable to Google's new image captchas.

How much fuel does the generator consume? What is the switch-over time?

Would it be useful for service interruptions or only full blackouts?

In fact the opposite is true! Rust is a pretty popular choice for writing native code (NIFs) for Elixir. (Similar to Ruby FFI).

See https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler

Discord especially has several real world use cases where they've implemented native code in Rust.

It's also worth checking out the Dell Precision 55xx series (currently 5540 I believe). It's the business version of the XPS 15 and more configurable and can have Linux preinstalled (and comparably priced)

I'm running Manjaro on a 1st gen X1E and it generally works really well. Installing took a bit of trial and error.

The Nvidia graphics card is still a bit of a pain; I usually open another TTL session and start up a new desktop with the Nvidia graphics card running when I need it, but I think it's possible to configure it better than that.

MicroCenter if you have on near you.

I think I've maybe seen them in a Costco before too.

I think it's important to do both.

Privacy aware users should take all resonable steps to protect their on privacy, but it is also appropriate to call out Mozilla.

Mozilla (and advocates) promote Firefox as the privacy conscious browser while Mozilla repeatedly takes actions that would appear to go against that claim.

Seems a little disappointing if they disabled wall jumps.

Were there any wall jumps that were actually exploitable (i.e. let you do bad things)? Most of the ones I remember just let you get to weird spots in the environment.

Have you seen this proposal?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar

I find it much more compelling than World Calendar, although ultimately I think switching calendar systems is not very practical at this point.

Your second point is pretty disingenuous. Of course you have to walk across the entire store to get a quart of oil and a bag of chips. It's literally impossible to carry a variety of items in inventory without some items, mostly unrelated, being located far apart.

You know they have right? The Window 10/Xbox/Pocket Edition is a complete rewrite in C# afaik

I'd be interested in checking that out! Is it open source? Do you have a Github link?

I always assume the opposite.

They have at least touched Elixir code but most of your time will be spent maintaining and/or writing Ruby apps.
