wow yeah that's pretty lame... slide 27 mentions mastodon as the backend for v1... as if they'll have the ability to just swap in something else later with 10M active users...

I get what you mean but 'prestigious'... doesn't seem the best word. The idols they looked up to had all written a lot of their own stuff (Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly seem like the archetypes there). The Beatles sort of inv

it doesn't have to be an irreversible choice. clicking between 'filters' should be something that takes an instant, and is one click away.

3 big buttons at the top after search results "You're viewing through FOOBAR lens. Click here to view results from another lens". Doesn't have to be that complicated.

Absolutely no need to provide a makefile. But... there can be multiple selectable algorithms for people to choose from, and eventually some ways to configure those to your needs. Having results come up that are also explicitly labelled &qu

You let the rank sources be selectable. Allow me to connect/select individuals or groups to include/exclude.

"next big idea" is probably "selectable algorithms". Create 3-5 different search algorithms, with names and understandable characteristics, then let me choose which one when searching. You may have some algorithm that p

No, everyone (bar one person) has the same native language. The person with non-native English does not care, and often has their camera off as well. The 'issue', such as it has ever been raised, was "why don't you have

Speaking in absolutist terms, I can't know as 'fact', true. The output/quality/pace of the group was about as close as it could be during that period of no camera whatsoever. But the comparison is my normal MO whi

I thought the same thing. The only thing I'd want from an employer would be time away and space to deal with things on my own or with family/friends. No texts, calls, emails about anything work related. If you have social conne

I'm on a couple of remote teams, and set the expectation that I won't be 'camera on' all the time during meetings. My reasons are more practical than privacy oriented. I'm often pacing during meetings, and connect

Viability is tied to survivorship bias, I'd guess. If you didn't survive, you weren't viable.

RPA is "robotic process automation". The author worked with the uipath.com platform, which looks to be an automation tool to click on screens to automate processes (probably oversimplifying here).

I take the 3 lines to mean "click/press here for a list of something". Perhaps because people called it a hamburger, that created some extra mental friction, contributing to the confusion/hate?

I've suggested for years that we just split the difference, 'fall back' 30 minutes or what not, and call that done. Not sure why it doesn't get traction.

It seems that it is indeed real, but I suspect it will take a while before it's common knowledge and actually has teeth (but I'm a bit cynical).

And at some point, perhaps you'll still get reasonable health care without it being tied to some employment (whether or not you were/are highly paid). Much harder to rely on that in the US.

that may not be 'sexuality' in a strict sense, and might also be considered 'age appropriate'. but then again, it might not be. seems to be very much in the eye-of-the-beholder-preparing-to-bring-legal-action.

Possibly, but thinking some more, not all lawyers work in such a fashion. Internal corporate lawyers may not have as much support, as they're more of a cost center than the money maker. The lawyers at the firm I worked at all were bi
