>> Just under half of all the surveyed WFH employees (49%) said they would prefer a hybrid work arrangement, dividing their time between the office and another location. Likewise, 26% said they want to remain fully remote, and 25% wanted to return to a full-time office situation

So the real (less attractive) headline is "Typical Distribution in Demand" with the sub title of majority prefer more flexibility over less. Not really much there...
The good thing (and one of the reasons I like Linux and dotfiles) is that you can start right away and keep sophisticating your setup as you go. You don't lose that configuration which is akin to knowledge.

I bought a Qnap NAS a month ago. I thought I would get it setup right away for my Linux machines, Macbooks, and network. I was wrong. But I'm slowly learning every couple days and now I have a systemd service that loads two volumes using NFS to my Linux machine.
The HP Palmtop ran a 186 chip - not sure if it used any of the 186 specific instructions.
It's also in some edge cases more correct, because you can't trust != to actually check for null.
That edge case is when your (favorite) coworker did

public static bool operator != (YourType x, YourType y)
=> DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Thursday;

Note to self when designing a language: no operator overloads on reference types.
When can we talk about a 6 hour work day?
If anybody is looking for a deeper dive into the subject matter, I can recommend any kind of talks given by John Hawks [0], since they usually lie at the intersection of containing decent information and being pleasant to listen to.

In a talk he gave in Gibraltar [1] he explains the many difficulties with making claims about Neanderthals. I suppose the tl;dr is that we are really just very barely scratching the surface of understanding where Neanderthals fit into the hominid ancestry tree, but I don't feel entirely justified to sum up the talk like that, because it contains a lot of nuance. Watch it, if you have the time :).

Just invest in the stock market. That protects you from inflation.
I love a good piano jazz album because it makes typing on a computer keyboard so much more fun when you’re in a flow state.

I highly recommend Bill Evans Trio: The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings and Ryo Fukui: Scenery as they are two of my go-to jams, especially the former.
LinkedIn is where my totally unethical former employer offers me "consulting opportunities" at $500/hr every 6 months to keep tabs on whether I still keep their shady shit confidential.
You don’t have an inherent right to a private company’s services. That extends to a website whose main attraction is a forum that is discriminatory against people of certain races, religions, and sexual orientations, which are protected classes. Political affiliation is not a protected class.
The problem of course is that the "victim" has a lawyer operating on a contingency, whereas you have to pay your legal costs, and generally cannot recuperate them.
Look, I’m not making an argument in favor of serfdom (far from it). I’m pointing out that many current iterations of democracy have become quite corrupt, so much so that the difference between it and feudalism is one measured on the margins (your details). Every couple days an article gets upvoted on this website that describes how the economies in (western) democracies have metastasized to the point where it’s participants are just cogs, working for a massive corporate enterprise that explicitly does not care about them, voting in elections about a government that quite often does the opposite of what is in their expressed interests, and/or are stuck in an infinite loop of debt-enabled credentialism.

Okay yeah that’s not de jure feudalism. Inching closer and closer to de facto, though.

Edit: to say this again, because apparently it’s needed. I am not in favor of feudalism.
In Kotlin top level declarations can be accessed seamlessly without imports. This is an agreable trade-off.
What sorts of meals are you eating when doing it once a day? Are they big/small meals, or a mix of the two?
Super excited to announce that PEST PHP v1.0 is finally out!

After 400+ commits, 3 betas, seven months - and endless hours of open-source contributions - PEST has finally reached its first stable public release.
Oh jesus, my site got submitted and is #1 on HN again. It kind of amazes me that a guide that begins with a Thich Nhat Hanh (buddhist monk) quote can bring out such heated debate.

A few things to clarify:

* The before/after flyers were taken from real life. These were printed out and tacked up to community boards and the like.

* One reason why I think the right poster is better is that it looks nicer on the surface and would therefore be more enticing for people to read to find the details. I think the left poster looks like it would be harder to find information. If an ad looks hard to decipher, then people aren't even going to bother. A lot of criticism here has to do with how the phone number doesn't stand out. If you're walking down the street and just see a giant phone number scrawled on a wall, would you call it? No. You need to have a reason to call it. I think that the flyer on the left gives passersby less reason to call.

* That said, I do need better examples, and the site needs to look less ugly. As it happens, my next project after finishing http://braveclojure.com is to revamp this site. If you're interested in hearing about the revamp, please sign up for an email reminder: http://eepurl.com/biiMZT . I'm going to add more content on actually implementing this stuff using CSS/SCSS. If you think the Clojure site is OK looking then you'll probably like the new visual mess content.

* For some reason, beginners seem to love this site as it is. Weird!!!

edit: If you have little or no experience trying to do visual design, I hope the site has encouraged you to give it a try, if only so that you can do better than I did :)

edit 2: Back in 2011 I wrote a blog post thanking readers, looks like it's relevant again: http://www.flyingmachinestudios.com/design/cuym-thank-you/
Probably not legally. Prisoners are required to be allowed "reasonable" access to their counsel. They might be able to suspend your ability to call your lawyer, as long as they don't stop you from writing them letters and meeting in person, for example. I'm not read on the case law so I don't know specifics, but they can't totally prevent you from meeting your lawyer without serious constitutional issues.
At that specific frequency, I'd think Tin-Tinitus
No, I'm not projecting. No, Apple doesn't "force" anyone to come into retail shops; that is simply false. You can mail hardware in. Some people aren't near an Apple Store.

And no, there are zero examples in this thread of any evidence that Apple has intentionally harmed its own hardware.

So you are batting 0 for 3.
Isn't it simply that it's impossible to get a haircut, and shaving it off is something you can do by yourself easily?
I have fond memories of going to Fry's Alice in Wonderland themed store with my dad when I was a kid, which means we must have started going there right when they opened.

And now my goto store was the very first one here in Sunnyvale. I was just there a couple weeks ago! And I remember thinking what a sad sad shell of its former self it was.

Fry's was definitely a goto spot throughout my early career when I worked in IT and then system administration on a lot of physical servers. Any time I needed parts I'd run to the Aztech themed location in Campbell or one of the locations near Berkeley/Emeryville.

I wonder if I can buy some of their big props? No idea where I'd put them though!
Why “instead” rather than “also”?
If I could look like Patrick Stewart or Sean Connery going bald would be great. Of course those guys look better than me even with hair so what can I expect.
No, I think you entirely missed my point: there is no such thing as an "unskilled" yokel out there building a car from "scratch" or rebuilding an engine, no matter how redneck their garage. You seem to have dismissed the complex, hard learned skills of a large group of people, presumably because those are blue collar skills you don't seem to respect.
The purient part of myself suggests someone has peed on the poor bird!
not everybody looks as him (or few other known bald celebrities), and not everybody has shape of the head or skin to look as good.

But I agree once baldness progresses to be plain visible, the best course is to either trim to very short or shave it all. Can look cool with good beard, but again not everybody has the genes for that.
One of the meanings of "insist" is "persist in (doing something)". That's presumably the meaning intended by grandparent.

Not that I know of, but it'd be awesome to have a word for joyous belching...
I'd suggest that if a book on maths and physics doesn't interest you, then it is you, not the book, which isn't a great fit for HN.
Something that struck me as interesting is that not only did the assembly line concept enforce consistency in mass manufacturing of parts and product, and isolating assembly into simple repeatable processes (hook this up here, turn this, repeat), but the literal line itself doesn't ever stop. It enforces efficiency from the workers. You had to get your part onto the vehicle before it moved onto the next station or the vehicle would simply move on.

No longer was manufacturing dictated by the speed of the worker, the process dictated the speed to the worker. The increase in efficiency alone must have been astronomical.

I wonder if in some ways, some of the plants I've seen (like VWs newer plants), that don't have this kind of enforced production schedule are really a step back.
I think kids should be taught a few classic games, chess, checkers, mancala, backgammon, etc. For the simple fact that most of those games are universal, regardless of language the chess rules are the same, so if there is a board you can strike up interaction regardless of language.

It also introduces rules and strategic thought. Some kids might get into chess, most probably won't, but like most of the stuff in school, part of it is to expose kids to concepts that they might have an interest to persue.

I'm still surprised we haven't heard anything official about a PS4... The PS3 came out 6 years after the PS2 and it has been out for 5+ years already.
How is he a "wizard"? His personal site seems to feature graphics libraries.
I have nothing against emoji. Just the combination mechanism.

And yeah this problem only came later after UTF-8 was already invented. It's a smart solution also because at the time a lot of detractors of Unicode were opposed to the extra data requirements of the long form representations.
Regardless of whether it's a scam or not, one thing is undeniably true: bitcoin has staying power and with a lot of institutional support being built around it, it's not really going anywhere anytime soon.

Yeah sure there will be volatility in the price for some time or maybe even forever, but at some point we'll have to accept that there are two camps of people: one that believe in it and have a vested interest in it, including in pushing for its wider adoption and the other group that believes that it has no inherent value.

For what it's worth, I'm in the camp that believes that it does have some value, but no where near the level that it's currently trading at. But I'm also a bit biased/bitter, see my submission history :'(
C# has them all already. Java has been lagging behind C# for a long while
I didn't downvote it. But the closing line about Marxism seems both dubious and, at most, tangentially relevant.
Still amazes me to this day. I imagine how the world could be different if SGI had found a way to lower its prices so that the hardware could be used by mere mortals.
Arguably cars are tools too, yet people care a great deal about how they look. Same with wristwatches, or glasses, or a host of other things we use every day.
If you can make bread in Ohio, but the people will only pay $1 a slice, there is no way your margins will support you buying a $100,000 oven to bake in, fresh grains to mill yourself, and a highly-educated person to reason out modern recipes. You have to compete with Safeway. Same with espresso & espresso machines.

If you can sell your bread for $4 a slice in SF, all of a sudden (even with the high rent), you can now afford those very real improvements to the art. There are lines out the door at The Mill - and the very reason this story was written was because they are selling their wares at market ranges. But they're selling wares produced with top quality resources, produced by top quality artisans.

The beauty of The Mill, mentioned - is the baking is done all in the open in front of the customers. If they tried to use substandard ingredients, honey not from local farms, a poorly functioning oven, or otherwise tried to reduce their quality to what is found elsewhere their customers would not return. At the end of the day, the margins are probably similar, but you have a lot more capital to work with in SF.
> he's claiming that just the passage of time is a bad reason to forget a lesson.

No, I wasn't claiming that at all. It wasn't the passage of time, but what occurred during that passage of time that mattered.

mattmanser goes into more detail.
Well that's sure not what I thought it was going to be.

Also, most of the these illustrations are just bad:

> Someone creates a business for consumers with too much money... like black-car, chauffeured rides.

Regardless of what you think of Uber as a company, it's a great idea, and there's not really anything luxurious about it. It costs a little more than a taxi and is definitely on par with other car services. When I'm in LA, I use it all the time. Beats having me drive around between clubs, right? What I use it to get to is much more pretentious that the car itself.

> See: Blue Bottle coffee.

Does the author know anything about coffee? The real stuff is going to be expensive.

> bourgie businesses...buzzwords like “organic” and “fair trade” and “artisanal,”

These things have specific meanings. This statement smacks of anti-intellectualism (and coming from right-wing me, that sounds a little funny.) Are you really going hate on fair trade? How can you begin rationalize that with *bourgie"?
I think Google needs to realize that Google+ is a failure and any attempts to link G+ with their other products will hurt those products.
There isn't an official add-on yet, but as Kudos pointed out, RethinkDB Cloud has an add-on in beta: https://addons.heroku.com/rethinkdb-cloud
I still page through robotrollcall's posting history. I wonder if someone has archived/indexed it? That user's posts were always a joy to read.
That part in the article felt strained: Mat was clearly trying extremely hard not to be rude while showing how much cleaner <picture> is. Hopefully this is an opening salvo rather than the end of the discussion…
I use continuous integration to get notified if the build breaks after each commit, not for "automation".

BTW - you should run rspec in your shell, too. :)

If you had a clear value proposition like that, it'd be easier to understand.
I did much the same and ultimately came to the conclusions that:

1) The remaining consumer options are on the low to mediocre end of the spectrum and don't have great picture

2) The commercial options are more expensive with mediocre picture, as they're intended for digital signage (24/7 full brightness), not movies.
Or a feature implementation which would essentially means - "select fake/random data instead".

Fake/mock GPS (w/o telling the app that it's fake unlike what Android does), fake contacts etc.
Oh but the next version has fixed that, uses less energy and is going to be great, as per every Bluetooth press release every single year.
Figma: https://www.figma.com/

It's a design tool that runs entirely in your browser as a WebAssembly-based frontend tool (coded in C++ IIRC). Go kick the tires and play around with it--you will be amazed how fast, fluid and downright native the experience feels.

IMHO I think we're going to see more and more frontend experiences like this in the near future. For certain classes of complex apps we're starting to see the overhead of all the frontend JS cruft, polyfills, reactivity, etc. are just getting out of hand and destroying browsers on low-spec phones and machines. A little Go/C++/Rust/AssemblyScript, etc. app compiled to WebAssembly interacting with the DOM directly is incredibly fast and space efficient. The build system for something like Go or Rust is so much more sane and easy to use vs. a complex modern JS Webpack setup too.

Thanks for your comment. Are you aware of a literate programming tool that primarily uses tags in source files to link with documentation in txt files? I guess I am thinking one could tangle the source with docs to produce the documentation, while the source is passed to the compiler unchanged.
I've only used openFrameworks (C++ library). For those that have used both Cinder and OF, how did you find they compare?
Children and guns can be trafficked.
Soon they'll be coming with their own 5G chips that phone home over cell networks - no wifi access required.

Or, like the Amazon Echoes, they'll form a mesh network with your neighbors TVs and other devices and then just use your neighbor's wifi to phone home.

It's coming. I'm buying Spectres and I suggest others do the same.
See: COICA -- any TLD is vulnerable.
Pretty awesome! My two complaints: Not everything has to talk. The weird monster going "roar" was a bit tacky. It's an ingrained convention that if something is flashing, it's about to disappear, so don't have your health crates flash by default.
There's some great discussions going on in the Economics section of their forums: http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?board=7.0
I think the main takeaway is that governments are making a strong case for an alternative, decentralized currency:

* preventing transactions they don't agree with
* inflating savings away
* freezing bank accounts of adversaries
* seizing cash at security checkpoints
i think that utility is different from social. Search is a utility that competitors have offered incremental improvements, that while useful.. to most people don't matter. Example: how many people test search results in multiple engines, to determine which one is giving better results ?. At this time, on any search engine, if you can find what you're looking for most of the time, in the first few results, you just stick with it.

Where as social is just that its whats cool/hip and something your friends are using. I think you underestimate the value of virility. Services like Instagram and Tumblr, are all very good services that are social and could possibly unseat what we see now. People and not just in the tech circle are always trying out new cool/hip social services. If some users think its cool, convince their friends to join and the cycle starts over.
I just put on my headphones, I didn't know you had this awesome C64 style music in it.. Great platformer game..!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics has all you need to know on the subject.
That wouldn't necessarily make accepting bitcoins illegal, it would just make accepting bitcoins from anonymous sources illegal. I think they'd also have a hard time justifying why I can buy a product anonymously in cash (or with a pre-paid VISA), but I can't buy a product anonymously using bitcoins. Particularly since bitcoins have less anonymity than cash, because a history of all transactions is maintained.
Because if it's possible in lab circumstances today, then it'll probably be possible in less restrictive circumstances in 10 years?

There are so many papers published based on very artificial circumstances on stuff that is later developed into usable things...
UK-born/resident person here, couldn't agree more. Sorry for all the British people who still think we have an empire and all that nonsense. It's what's behind all this anti-EU crap that's going around here too. Hate it all.
Would you say, "Scripts that make ROM writable, now that's a feat!" to the person you quoted in to his face? If so, you are a rude person too.
It is a service problem.

Game of Thrones used to available for 30-40 bucks on iTunes in the form of a season pass. It allowed Australians to prepurchase the box set of the series and watch to episodes as they aired (in sync with USA release schedule)

Used to. In Australia we only have one cable company Foxtel which has advertisements, 10-20mins per 1hr of scheduled programming. Foxtel secured exclusive rights to season 2 and 3. Now the only legal way to watch game of thrones is to suscribe under multi year contracts at 24/month, endure the advertising and to make matters worse episodes were delayed broadcast by 24-48 hours.

Delayed broadcast is a horrible, in Australia it basically means "avoid social media" for 48h until Foxtel airs or have the storyline ruined. With GOT whereby every episode was a epic twist piracy won out. Free, Imediate and no ads.

Aussies got REALLY pissed off and just resulted to pirating from piratebay. Foxtel got all uppity in the media, calling Australians a bunch of pirates and then started lobbying government for copyright reform.
Although I am quite interested in this space, I feel like this has already been attempted on several occasions.

Maybe it's a bit different, but I think there are significant issues with these models related to the risks to IP and also work cohesiveness.
Events outside the chart JSON is nice. Interested to try this out.
Apparently, the last bullet point in this post was either not read by you or not clear enough. I am interested in first hand comparisons in the difficulty various degrees.

I am absolutely certain that certain things I have done are easier or harder than other things I have done. Some tasks clearly require more intelligence than others. For example, folding clothes requires little intelligence compared to getting any degree (based on my measure of intelligence). In a less clear sense degrees are not all the same difficulty and require different levels of intelligence (hence this question and my curiosity).

I am wondering: Given your measures for intelligence/difficulty, share what parts of various degrees were more difficult for you.

Also, share how you are measuring your intelligence/difficulty.

These are the complex topics that I am curious about.

TLDR;
I am interested in first hand comparisons of getting different degrees.
Thing is if you have a Sonos already, then you have had music casting from Google for a while. It's not the same protocol, but the Google Play Music app has been able to "cast" to Sonos for at least some months, maybe a year or more.
The point is that the information is clearly there, and with current technology it is possible to extract it under ideal circumstances. It's not to say it's feasible or will be, but it's not hard to imagine sensors becoming advanced enough to capture the required light without using a special lens and artificially illuminate the bystanders.
Because things that seem ridiculous have a tendency to become not ridiculous over time given the pace that technology advances.
It's not that deep. I agree it is definitely not ideal, and in future this will no longer be required.
Sure, I didn't say they didn't. Are you refuting what I said and implying that a compiler is not self-hosted if it doesn't compile to machine code?
Honestly if this was geared towards teams inside a company I would probably lobby for it at my job. Have you considered an “enterprise option”? :)
