This is just how labor unions roll in the Nordic countries. McDonalds learned this in Denmark [1]. The sooner Tesla realizes they need to negotiate labor contracts through the unions to operate in Sweden, the more money they can make.
I don't know if you should knock government investment in technological development, seems to have worked pretty well for COVID vaccines, space shuttle for the Moon, and brutally convenient murder machines
911 generally does perform their job well. Your issue is with the police and is valid, but there are many other public services an operator will route to you (ambulance, firefighter...)
Not sure that protection is a utility, but even then I think the reason Cloudflare gets criticism/critique (not harassment...) comes as a result of the online nature of LGBTQ communities and Cloudflare's location in the closest thing to a physical epicenter of those communities.
I don't know what distinction you were imagining, but I think this one is relatively simple
Yeah, it's even in the OP: "Users saying that it's a good idea / product after a demo doesn't mean that the product has PMF. Users desperately wanting to use the product and pay for it ie., retention / repetitive usage is PMF."
The bigger issue is clearly that the advice boils down to something more like "if you don't have buyers, you won't make sales", which is just common sense and I'm surprised we need to have a whole buzzword about it.
You're right that a quote is not necessary, but GP was describing what needs to happen for a quote to become a contract. The quote's existence is the premise.
Have you checked out https://www.nushell.sh/? It seems like exactly what you're describing. Although I know of people who are happily using it as their main shell, I only really use it when I need to read and manipulate data in files.
If you finished that paragraph (or even that sentence), you would have found that the author agrees with you!
> It takes years of practice to become a terminal guru, but here's the good news: we can take a shortcut. We don't really need to know 98% of the stuff you can do with a terminal. If we focus on the most-important critical fundamentals, we should be able to become comfortable with the command line in a remarkably short amount of time.
Well, it seems like you can't do those things when you're asleep... I suppose either you find a way to move those responsibilities to when you're awake or you can't use this technique.
1. I don't think we're actually talking about that much power, in most instances the issues amount to "not behaving professionally in an environment that wants to have a professional character"
2. What would it need to be for you to consider what power it gives as "earned"? I'm surprised since it seems that power being explicitly delegated by the project should be enough by any measure.
As curious as I am about what you think snitching to Paul Graham would accomplish here, the comment is likely downvoted because it undersells the importance and stickiness of defaults for most customers.
What features do you gain by architecting tmux/screen that way? It seems like you'd lose a nice feature, the ability to persist sessions' appearance after the client exits
I agree (I think), we need either free college or a livable minimum wage or both to solve this problem. Disagree that we need to have any low-paying jobs at all, but I suppose your high school could run a fast food joint for the students, if we really need that sort of thing?
I think it's true, just meant to be a little less literal. Things like communicating over the internet, taking notes and yes, automation are all useful. However, when they start, the UX is academic and inaccessible to a "normal person". The arg is that it takes ~10 years to construct the correct abstractions so that the normal people can do those useful things.
Yeah, I heard this a lot about go. Agree that gofmt is a good call, but it’s not hard to get that one right. I’m seeing more and more of these “included batteries” being deprecated, it’s almost as if standard libraries don’t stay shiny and new forever ;)
"Arriving in droves" is much more telling about the external conditions of the job market. I think it's safe to say that it sounds like a good gig before you have a good understanding of what the work is. Then, after working for less than a year you see it for what it is and get out of there.
I think it's probably most accurate to say that there are democracies of different sizes. Your country is a more of democracy as more people have equal agency over their government. This obviously has never happened to a complete extent, and it's still an open question whether that should happen. But a discrete separation between "democracies" and "not democracies" will run into these sorts of problems in any case.
What? It's not that there's just one Zuck, it's that there are fewer Zucks than parents. The strategy would be the same if there were 5 Facebooks competing for market share.
We can quibble over words for sure, but you're certainly implying that if nothing is done, these folks will bully people into having a bad sense of humor. Like I said, that seems unlikely. Folks like being seen as funny, and will strive to be funny in front of people
Ah I see, well in that case I can tell you that the author of that article disagrees with you. It's true that I don't share those same worries about cancel culture with you, my point is that this article is particularly weak evidence for your position.
In the context of the article, the author makes it VERY clear that they mean the specific process that they underwent. Is there another take I'm missing?
"I would rather not have to write this post at all. However I know that people will ask about why my talk isn’t available on the JupyterCon site, so I felt that I should explain exactly what happened. In particular, I was concerned that if only partial information became available, the anti-CoC crowd might jump on this as an example of problems with codes of conduct more generally, or might point at this as part of “cancel culture” (a concept I vehemently disagree with, since what is referred to as “cancellation” is often just “facing consequences”). Finally, I found that being on the “other side” of a code of conduct issue gave me additional insights into the process, and that it’s important that I should share those insights to help the community in the future."
With this quote in mind, I highly recommend that you take a look at the rest of the piece, it may challenge some of your views on the topic :)
I'm not sure this holds up to scrutiny. My limited understanding of epigenetics means that social factors and genetic factors are not so easily separated, we'd need significantly more generations of data to show that.
Depends on the medium people will use to do math in the future, there may be a material reason why handwriting is the main method, but I would say its just as likely that it goes the way of other, less structured texts as the tools get better.
It doesn't really matter if you can't write down an emoji if you don't write anything down.
I'm failing to see the connection between "looking like magic" and "being a conspiracy theory", but I'd argue that the mechanism doesn't really matter. From a certain perspective, your advertising might take away some part of their free will, and _that's_ the part that makes them uncomfortable.
I really like that distinction, relating imperative/FP tradeoffs to the classic space/time tradeoff. I'd also point out that betting on space getting cheaper over time seems like a better bet than betting on time getting cheaper :)
We learned new words for things. The decade changed.
The first few pictures came back blurred, and I felt ashamed
For all the cheerful engineers, my father and his tribe.
The second time,
The optics jibed. We saw to the edge of all there is—
So brutal and alive it seemed to comprehend us back.

Smith's father worked on the Hubble telescope, and she would be named US Poet Laureate in 2017. I highly recommend reading her poetic account of this photograph :)
