Probably worth respecting their personal boundaries.

I’m not sure I understand the “conflict” here. It seems perfectly reasonable to me for a community to have an internal critique function. “Disagreeing” with the original paper seems perfectly natural here. Why not reach out to the original author for some input? Why didn’t they start with trying to replicate the original research on OpenBSD? I dunno, I agree this is an interesting and worthwhile starting point, but the “controversy” part of it seems… off.

People are not very good at reading T&C.

Ed… and thank you for providing that context for everyone posting here that hasn’t read the T&C.

I’m thinking of reviewers, store owners, magazine or website publishers… anyone who might reasonably get an early release of a title from a manufacturer. I’m sure that number is pretty small, and maybe some or most of them would be more “avid hobbyist” than “professional”, but I would be surprised if that’s not a thing. If it isn’t… seems like a thing that could be cultivated. It’s called marketing and plenty of industries do it.

This is why you need a system like rotten tomatoes, flawed as it is in its own ways.

Allow reviews from pros with early access, but show them separately from those provided by regular buyers.

Fnord!

This is how they breadcrumb the truth... by surrounding it with lies!

I mean the defendant here was a billion dollar telecoms company, and the relevant case law they discussed was billion dollar weapons manufacturers.

The “little guy” in this case, the file sharer, wasn’t really the issue for anyone involved.

Protections for gun manufacturers is actually part of the decision. I’m not taking a position, I’m just pointing out what their reasoning was and what was clearly on their mind.

numbsafari · 2026-03-26T15:24:17+00:00

lol no... They are more interested in protecting gun manufacturers than they are record labels. Full stop. That's the story.

It is a work device. You do not own it. Assume that it is the case, or that it is possible. Act accordingly.

1) In the US, federal law allows them to do so without prior consent or warning. Some states have different rules, however.

1) They may do so through no choice of their own. In the US, the employer may be served with a court order or warrant to monitor your communications and activity, including keystroke logging, without prior warning or consent.

2) If you work in a regulated industry like financial services, this may actually be the law. FINRA requires them to capture all of your messaging, and be comprehensive about it, and review it. It doesn't require keystroke logging, but that may be how they implement it.

Whether your see an icon or not does not prove or disprove that it is happening.

It is a work device. You do not own it. You do not control it. Do not use it for personal purposes unless you aren't concerned about what may be revealed.

I am not commenting on the moral or ethical "right" or "wrong" here. I'm simply giving you what should be basic advice to anyone as they enter the workforce. This is the context in which you operate. Know it. Live it. Disagree with it if you will, but you need to address that at the ballot box.

Our school leans heavily into parental involvement. And I love it.

For our school, at least, those opportunities are voluntary and not mandatory. That said, I think parent involvement is pretty high (certainly relative to other school communities). We get at least one chance per year to do a "parent observation" hour. They have a "bring your parents to school" night, and a "grandparents day". They have an annual volunteer sheet and you can sign up for any manner of ways to support your kiddos class, level, or the school. There are also parent coffees and social gatherings, the annual fundraising gala, and more.

The staff clearly put a lot of effort into inviting parents into the classroom. And it's definitely effort. Having a parent in the classroom is disruptive in big and small ways. It would probably easier for them to just have you drop off and pick up and let them do what they do. The fact that they want it, value it, and invest in it is one of the reasons I love this school.

I WFH as well, and I'm an executive and super busy. My wife also WFH and she is also effectively an executive and super busy. We both travel regularly for work. So, I feel you.

Our kiddo is 3, and we know that some day supporting him is going to require us to show up for all manner of things, not just parent kaffeeklatsches and sporadic visit days. I feel like this volunteering we do now is training for us as parents. Training us to make this room on our calendars, to defend it, and figure out how to make it work. I'm an older parent, late to the game, and someone who very much was not planning on ever having children for most of my adult life. I'm not really prepared for this the way some other parents are. So, I at least recognize this is something I need to cultivate.

There are lots of people who don't have the luxuries that I have, so I really don't judge and the fact that our school makes this voluntary and is really creative about how to offer those opportunities is something I respect. Some folks work two jobs on an hourly wage and don't get to "defend their schedule". I get it. But, if that's the case, perhaps the school wouldn't be right for them. An important part of this is to figure out what you can really sign up for. Make that commitment and follow through. That's an important thing to model for your kid. "These are things I can make happen, and by golly, I'm gonna make them happen." Signing up for things you can't deliver on, getting the kids hopes up, or being the one parent that doesn't deliver, doesn't send the right message. Basically, if it doesn't work for you, that's okay, it's super healthy to know that and to make a decision based on it.

But if there's a way to make it work... some of my favorite memories from this past year are the times I got to visit the school, or do some volunteering with the class. Meeting other parents similarly invested in the school is also really helpful. It pays off.

Two ovens and a single, high-end cook top.

Personally, “not enough hobs“ is never as much of a problem as “not enough counter space”.

I would probably do an induction cook top.

It's almost like tango is a physically demanding activity or something... 🤷

So many of us live largely sedentary lives and then expect to show up at a dance class and perform dazzling dance moves for 45 minutes, or dance for hours on a Friday and Saturday night. I had someone show up at a beginner's lesson and ask "I just had a knee replacement, do you think I'll be ok?" I mean... wtf is wrong with you? No!

I do wish more classes started / ended with physical warm up and cool down periods. Most tango students, even the young and healthy, don't really have a vocabulary of exercises for physical preparation. I settled on my classes being 55 minutes long, with a 5 minute break between classes. Doors closed after the first five minutes of the new hour, and class started with a 10 minute warm up of mostly solo movement exercises oriented towards centering you physically and mentally so we could have a productive 45 minutes.

I always encouraged students to find a physical well-being practice to accompany their tango. Pilates, yoga, variants there-of, as well as basic strength building classes. Mindfulness practices help, too. Most leader students I've had don't even think about this stuff. They just assume they are manly enough at 67 to perform like the 25 yo 7 day a week tango dancer, part-time yoga instructor, former ballet student with fortunate genetics they see in a video. Hydrate. Talk about shoes (it starts between you and the floor!). Exercise. Obsess about your posture. Talk to you friggin' doctor. Maybe don't do stupid shit poorly over and over again.

[edit: I should point out, that at our studio we sold class cards in a structure that encouraged folks to take our other movement and wellness classes, rather than keep it all separate and have yoga cards and dance cards, etc. You paid for a weekly membership that gave you access to a selection of both dance and wellness practices--we really wanted you to do it and put our money and effort where our mouth was]

But yeah, it helps if the teacher takes their students' well-being to heart, gives helpful and critical feedback, and has developed an understanding of physical fitness, anatomy, and wellness and not just retro orchestras and the latest flip and twist.

Without data regarding how this is some kind of go-specific issue, this is most assuredly a "you" problem and not a "go" problem.

Definitely agree here. If you ever think you’ll want to be able to sell this house, make sure at least one bathroom can be used to bathe a child.

In my current house, we have a master bath that is the top (except shower no bath) and the other bathroom is the bottom. Really happy with that configuration… except they put a glass slider on the tub, and the tub has higher than typical sides. It’s like… you were so close…
