What about companies with multi site offices? Isn’t that effectively remote?

Often I email the person directly to thank them, but only works if there’s a public email.

That last point is pretty hilarious!
I find writing up the minutes during the meeting and distilling to “are these the most important points?” works to grab folks’ attention.
Re:Show HN: Top, but for Nginx

I had the vague sense that it was as easy to cross-compile rust binaries as it is for go.
Distributing single binary would be easier, but `cargo install xyz` seems harder than python script

Have you tried turning on voice control? That allows you to control the entire screen without holding phone (“show numbers”, “Tap 5”, “Tap 4”, “Text I want to enter”, “Tap send”)

Slightly confused by your comment, the new editor has gone from markdown-ish to actual markdown. That is easier/better.

Problem is that most patients will recover from Covid 19, so unlike a more deadly disease, need a high bar for treatments.
Re:Level up CloudFormation with VS Code

CDK is significantly more comprehensible than CloudFormation. Particularly: it has patterns and convenciones baked in that let a few lines of code translate into 100s of lines of CloudFormation

Re:Do Not Trust Journalists – A Mormon Example

The article focuses on opposition to gay marriage and to women in the priesthood, briefly touching on only an expansion in size of # missionaries and openness of records.
The blog post author argues that Monson had huge influence internationally, the article does not show that.
It’s not about tone, it’s about emphasis.
Re:Easy Python CLI with Click
on Monday August 19, 2019 @01:24AM (#20735098)
I liked fire a lot, gets kinda goofy sometimes (and it looks abnormal in exceptions). If you can use python 3 - defopt is simpler and less visually noisy on errors https://defopt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Re:Easy Python CLI with Click

Click and argparse end up with a lot of boilerplate. `defopt` (https://defopt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) reduces it to almost nothing (granted only in Python 3), is only a single file and even turns your function docstring into command help text.
With every other tool I’ve tried, I end up writing a python API and a CLI and documenting it twice.
Defopt eliminates that almost completely (but with *args still allows for elegant interfaces)
