This is a good point. It's really hard for me to use non i3wm supporting OSes now, even though I have to use Windows from work, and have used Macs for the better part of the last 2 decades personally and in college.

I suspect if WFH becomes the norm, then people will flock to big cities even more, because suddenly you live in a massive suburban house but can go days without ever seeing a new face. At least when you had a central office there was a plac

Once you're working remote why pay someone 80k a year to live in the Midwest. Why not pay them 40k a year to live in India instead?

That's only true for a small subset of technology companies. Outside the tech world it's barely true, and even within the tech world, the vast majority of companies still require you to enter management the moment you've been

It's kind of funny to see the disdain for VS based deployment here, while all the current rage right now is declarative deployment systems. Something VS based development, build and deployment based workflows have been doing for over a

Is the only evidence that this has anything to do with Huawei is that the github account has listed Huawei somewhere on its profile?

Do you have any actual evidence that addicts engage in a disproportionate number of thefts and assaults? And whether the number of thefts and assaults they engage in is all that significant. Finally, I'm pretty sure moral compass has l

Any high level official recommending it is a bad thing in itself. The major issue is that there isn't enough evidence there for drug companies to put in money to ramp up supply. Heck, there wasn't enough evidence for Trump, who ha

COVID-19 kills anywhere between 0.7-4% of the people it infects. (Some countries like Italy saw a much higher mortality rate, nearing 15% in Italy, I believe, but that was due to the breakdown of the overwhelmed health services). How would

At the same time people who have diseases which actually require medicines that rely on similar component ingredients are unable to get them. That's one of the biggest issues with talking up miracle cures. Since it's not been prov

That's what I was thinking initially. However, wouldn't the same pressures that apply to someone in a chain of command, also not apply to a contractor? So, for example, if someone tasked with testing the current military strategy

It's almost like microservices make sense when they make sense, and macroservices (or, as I like to call them, services) make sense when they make sense, and it's our job as professionals to make those calls. Nah...we should just

One of the first things I learnt in English 101 is that "I think" is redundant. Your writing something automatically implies that it's what you think. Unless you explicitly say something is a "fact" or quote a 3rd p

Time Machine at least used to have a ton of reliability problems. I'm hoping that it's improved recently which I suspect would happen especially after Apple switched to AppleFS. Time Machine on HFS+ was basically hacks extending h

Does it work reliably now? I know whole backups were highly unreliable with TimeMachine, and this was a known problem. I had to use it twice to setup a new replacement laptop with the same data as my old one. The first time it went smoothly

I would simply dig into the backup locations using Finder. The backups are (or at least used to be) simple files, with deduplication provided by hard links.

Well, the obvious answer is they die. So even if young people do not die of Coronavirus (which we do not know for sure) they die because they cannot get medical treatment after cutting their finger on a rusty table edge, or get into a car a

Of course they would. I won't even claim that severe lockdowns (which is not what anyone in the US or UK is facing) is the best solution. However, in the absence of almost any reliable knowledge, it's probably the ONLY rational pl

Except those people followed strict lockdown policies that are even greater than this. You're talking about rationality and completely ignoring the fact that your numbers are based on areas where people have already taken the policies

If a company lets go of you you're theoretically supposed to leave immediately (the company is actually supposed to buy your ticket) and any additional time you spend beyond the final date is considered illegal. In the past USCIS offer

The author is conflating discoverability of features, with discoverability of different ways to activate certain features. So, for example, everyone knew how to view a PDF. It's just that the author disallowed the most discoverable met

The article doesn't suggest that. The article suggests having a single lead per project. But each project is led by a different engineer. You still have 1 leader per project, but everyone on the team gets the leadership opportunity and

The fact that Airbus are fly by wire doesn't mean they are "unstable". They might be, but fly by wire does not imply that. For the record, I don't believe Airbus plans are unstable in the way the MAX is, whose instabilit

You've taken that phrase completely out of context. The author is clarifying that their friends were only able to access it because the author gave them the email/password, because the author wants to illustrate what someone who d

I wonder if that's true for people who end up spending more time on Instagram than elsewhere, and start finding the IG Face to be more "natural" and get weirded out when they see people with wrinkles and stuff. I'm assum

There likely appears to be only 1 way the Max can be redeemed, and that is for Boeing to accept it's a different enough plane that 737 pilots need new training for it.
