2 ways I can answer this:

1. Personally, working from home has been a mixed bag. When I'm allowed to focus on one single task, I can do pretty well. The comforts of having my own office room, high quality monitors, keyboard and speakers listening to music are very nice. The additional latency accessing my remote workstation not so great (and that is required, because of company rules not allowing source access outside of corp network). Also, anything that required a lot of human interaction has been pretty bad, video conferencing is a poor substitute, I've found (as someone who doesn't really enjoy socializing) and depending on where you are in the project (is the team already established, do they know each other IRL, the tasks are clear or are you just starting a new team for a new project, scoping up tasks and everything) it requires more or less interaction. At the beginning of a project there is a ton of little details that get missed in the initial plans which can be resolved very fast in person and which always seem to resolve slower remotely, no matter how good use we attempt to make of all the tools available (team chat, video conference, etc). As such, whenever my company asked in WFH surveys how I would rate my productivity, I always rated it lower than 100%, around 60%-70%. In terms of commute, it's a wash-off: yes, I don't spend time commuting now but the extra time I have I just spend it in longer videogame sessions at night (so not exactly the best/most healthy way to use that extra time) and when I was commuting to the office I'd often commute by bike (at about 100 miles biked per week) while now I barely bike a third of that because I force myself to get out on the bike every weekend to at least have some physical activity.

2. Company wide, based on the the surveys done, it seems most people have rated their productivity lower than when in office. As such, it is no surprise to me that the company is looking at an accelerated schedule to get people back in office.
This is where I shine in start up environments. I can throw together “working” implementations quickly while also having the forward thought to allow the system to be incrementally replaced or improved overtime. My starting implementations can look rough and sloppy, but I use consistent patterns and designs that guide building out more complex systems as we go.

I have also done the opposite of taking an existing monolithic spaghetti code system and start isolating functionality without changing behavior. This then allows to improve and replace sub systems as needed.
I think it's an interesting model, one of the issues I see is that unpopular users who are almost free to message would seem "cheap" which could make them even less attractive.
That is as much of a problem in itself as co-ops or literal cottage industries not being competitive with dedicated workforces. Sucks to be them but not a true problem to the economy overall.

If they can't compete with their advantages maybe they shouldn't be in that business. Just being able to do something efficiently isn't an abuse.
This is true. I hint to it in the terms, but I didn't want to break character too much. Basically, I take precautions for both, but it's a one-man side-project, so caveat emptor. Also, images are obviously public (though unlisted), so it's not meant for sensitive data storage.
Memorizing is not useless at all. Here is a few examples:

In order to sing a song, you need to memorize it.

If you play poker, you can memorize useful probabilities, because you don't want to perform calculations all the time.

As a sys admin, you need to memorize commands and their syntax.

The list is endless.
The megacorp I work for has 40k people. There’s probably more people who can write Macros for excel than know JavaScript or Python (or who are willing to learn either). I’ve met business people who are masters of excel who’ve been using it since the 90s. Asking a huge amount of non-tech people to switch is extremely hard, much harder to convince them to use a new scripting language.
Or visit then if you like some snow :) I'm currently in Seattle and I cannot wait to move back. Fortunately, my girlfriend gradates in 7 months and we are literally counting down the months until then so we can move back.
>One idea I've had is to disallow conversation in the app, and instead focus on making date plans if there's a match.

As a guy who has been on dating apps, being able to hold a conversation puts you at a significant advantage. I don't see how restricting the ability to have one helps, unless your intention is to help guys who can't or shoot themselves in the foot early.
AMDSEV/SME or Intel SGX/TME/MKTME or whatever other HW encrypted page support exist are buggy, which cannot be patched. E.g. AsyncShock

https://github.com/vschiavoni/sgx-papers

This is a SW-only solution, and therefore is probably also buggy, but can be patched and only accessed via ring < 0. Only via yet unknown kernel bugs (patchable) or the mythical ME or ASP/PSP backdoors.

Very cool! I did my master thesis in Genetic Algorithms and bipedal robots. You can watch the results here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYONnbvsxz0
There's a review of that work here:

I don't understand the desire to pander to the lowest common denominator.

If people want to learn about monads is up to them and I don't have any skin in the game, but I hear a lot of people complaining that monads are so difficult to understand or use and I guess I was really just observing, in a roundabout way, that I feel a lot of that is down to monads appearing more complicated or scary than they are and that people are put off by it, kind of how people are put off Lisp's due to the parentheses.
There's a concrete object-oriented Python implementation of much of abstract algebra is Sage. You can see some of that here: https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/src/sage/struct...

(Disclaimer: I'm a Sage developer.)
Did your wife stay with you through all that craziness?
Beats a new way to share cats online for me. If you want to see what 'change the world' means look no further than this.
So, this is pretty cool. I am in particular impressed how thorough your curl wrapper is. Mine is pretty basic in comparison:

Hey Mr. Policeman, if you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
Kinect was on the top of my list. When I used Kinect, it seemed quite magical (and I'm jaded enough that few pieces of tech makes me go that way). I really suspect a Kinect from Apple would have been handled differently.
If they don't want to be videotaped they need a job where they aren't required to do part of it in public.

Banning accountability is a big step in the wrong direction.

They also get paid and they are not required to put their life at risk.
I didn't know about Sinatra. I'll look at that next, maybe before the PHP business... Another framework using the same language seems like a good building block.
Yes, actually because "national foreign literacy programs" are, more often than not, just covers for foreign government and foreign interests intervention.

It's not "public awareness" they raise (how condescending to think it takes a national foreign literacy program for the people to know what's happening in their country). They mainly act as hubs for foreign interest lackeys (disgruntled opposition leaders, shady figures and such), and propaganda.
One of the best arguments I came across as an undergrad was Kohlberg's stages of moral development [1].

Of his 3 stages, I've come to the conclusion that most people never evolve past the second stage which is basically "against the law = wrong". The point of questioning whether the law itself is unjust, or could be appropriately ignored under certain circumstances either doesn't occur to people, or bothers them more than any injustice caused.

Seems legit, I'll invest some upvotes in your comment.
It's not just a born talent thing. Practicing interviewing and solving problems on a board in front of someone can do a lot to help you get over that anxiety. Yet most people never bother to practice and then wonder why they are bad at it.
In an age of REST, I'm not sure why sites still insist on hiding behind GET parameters for primary functions of the site.

I think one of the more successful aspects of Reddit is that each section has it's own full URL, making it easy to share and for engines to index.

Witness:

http://hubski.com/tag?id=askhubski

http://reddit.com/r/askreddit

EDIT: (facepalm) Yeah, I meant GET parameters not requests ... both are obviously GET requests
Please don't do this here—it's against the rules at the top of the thread.

pretty poor UX if you ask me

yup. Has been around since NT or maybe even longer..
Firefox gets slower with every update - and it's certainly not Addblock plus that's at fault (although yes, addblock plus has a very inefficient implementation.)

If you use Chromium I recommend HTTPSwitchboard.
A security audit done by whom? Surely not people paid by the vendor of the product bring audited... Right?
Also, it's worthwhile noting the DNT header just provides another piece of input to the fingerprinting matrix.
> it's not in the slightest an ethical breach to do that. It's just advertising working with production to make the product.

Well, that by definition would be considered an ethical violation at a paper like the Times. Not at a student paper, no, but at the New York Times, definitely.
Weren't they going to shut down Moderator?
Indeed. Some interesting research is being done on this: https://github.com/ghostwords/chameleon
Hey mjl, maht here. It's plan9 time again on HN.
Why are you blaming this on ~~~floating point~~~ instead of glibc?
and now the blog is down too...
Really neat design but €240 seems really expensive for the people they are targeting.
This is pretty much how I was interpreting it. For context I did an internship at a bank, I had access to a computer and login credentials, but not admin access. I get the feeling that this would be a hair on fire problem there if like you said it'd mean me effectively having root.
Other universes aren't hidden variables because they have no effect. That is to say, no process in one universe is postulated to explain a process in another universe (because any such a bridge would mean that we are really talking about the same universe, right?)
"deterministic builds" is actually a pretty hard problem with most existing compiler infrastructure. Bitcoin and Tor use a system called Gitian: https://gitian.org/

Well that makes sense then. Brooklyn to central and northern Queens is one of the worst parts of the whole system. I live in Woodside and have friends in Park Slope, so I definitely feel your pain.
Are there any plans to patch this into OpenSSH? It looks like they have a great solution for the problem you highlighted.
Funny, me too! I was adding some features yesterday, a few more today, but I took a few minutes to do screenshots and join the discussion.

If you are focused on better controls, our work may be complementary. Would you like to join forces on a high quality fork? A few things concern me with tmux currently.

Intel has been accused of many things over the years, unfortunately honesty wasn't one of them.
I think half the reason no one talks about this consistently is there's no naming consistency from the media.

Is it Uighur or Uyghur?
Unless you choose to sandbox your python. Obviously the language itself doesn't support this, but most OSes have functionality for this that can be applied to any application or code, not just wasm.
Something doesn't have to be entertaining to be good for you.

And you can make it interesting. Reading about how the body works, the biomechanics of the movements, etc. can make it more interesting.

Learning more about a subject tends to make it more interesting, even if you didn't begin with an interest.

When you're 70 with mobility issues and no longer have physical autonomy, you'll be wishing you'd invested the few hours per week of preventative medicine that would have vastly increased the likelihood that you would still have the strength and mobility to live a physically autonomous life with the ability to play with your grandkids. Not to mention the decades of benefits you would have reaped being in better shape than you ever dreamt was possible for you.
Something I've been trying to polish which seems worth saying in this context: Physical property is like control over address space. Copyright is like control over strings. Patents are like control over algorithms. But fixed-endpoint SaaSS… is like control over types.
That it wasn't going to succeed, doesn't mean it's not an attempted coup. It's a self-coup because they were told to go there by Trump, after Mike Pence told Trump he couldn't do what Trump asked him to do, which was to just declare Trump the winner. i.e. ignore the state ascertained Electoral votes.

This is an autocratic movement. The legislature is an impediment to that. Maybe they envision a principate to give it the veneer of authenticity that an outright autocracy would not. That worked for the Roman Empire for ~250 years, people bought that it was still a Republic when it's plain to history it was ruled by an emperor during this time.

Of course had it succeeded, no matter how it had, Trump would have accepted it happily. He doesn't care about the Constitution or even the veneer of legitimacy. He just wants to win. Doesn't matter how.
As a thought experiment, imagine Trump won by a small margin.

Do you think we would have heard no unfounded accusations of fraud? No challenges in court? No protests and riots? After the year we've had?

And if, on January 6, as Congress was meeting to confirm the Electoral College vote for Trump, a riotous mob had stormed the Capitol and disrupted proceedings for a few hours, would it have been reported the same way? Would left-wing activist social media accounts be getting deplatformed?

It didn't happen. Might not have. But if it did, would you be calling it a coup? Would you be so disturbed about the attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

I'm not defending what happened. I'm asking, if it were reversed, how would you feel. Be honest.
Not censorship. It is kicking American crap out of the EU and doing our own stuff... which cannot be successful, because it is either bought by some American megacorp at early stage or just mobbed out of the market.
I thought tablets had exceptions to those rules?
Unusual for Fred Wilson to repost spammy content. Did you count how many times the newsletter - by the way you should subscribe - is mentioned?

And then the content was very basic.
I just finished building the new version of an old project, Codr.cc.

It allows you to store, share, or broadcast notes or code. You can drag-and-drop files onto it. I took a lot from notepad.cc in the way it saves automatically to the server. Append '/extension' to your links to activate real-time syntax highlighting, currently supporting:

js, html, css, php, c, cpp, java, py, haskell, smalltalk, and stex (I should list that somewhere...)

Each file has a public link you can share from where the file cannot be edited.

Changes to the file can bee seen in really real time from either end of the (non-public) url.

And all with a really nice interface to boot!

Let me know what you think :)
Maybe I would have appreciated the article better if the title hadn't said "CSS optimization". That made me expect to find some secret to help me make CSS load or render faster. He really fixed a bug in the use of a CSS sprite file.

More interesting: someone finds a way to find other instances of sprite files being used incorrectly on a given domain. But I think Google PageSpeed would identify this for accessing a static file with query string.
Do you have any opinions of Ceph? They seem to be dong a similar thing.
"Law enforcement officials say the case is a cautionary tale."

I think it's also a cautionary tale for law enforcement officers. It seems when it comes to pornography, all their rational thought processes drop down (they do have those, don't they) and they go into a "let's go get that bastard" mode. Sadly, although such stories are quite common, i.e. there's nothing bizarre about them in that sense, there's little you can do if it happens to you: They just say "OK, you weren't it" and go away.

I think the war against child pornography is being fought as mindlessly as the one on drugs, with quite similar results.
I am still incorporating it into my Cory Doctorow fan fiction, "Little Sister".
I like that. A big ass hairy goal that conventional wisdom says is impossible.

Then, through relentless practice and learning, it starts to become possible.
And who decides what's filtered? Unless it's the judicial system, don't want it.

If you have 2 opposing views, and one is delayed long enough, you've effectively censored it, in favor of the other.

Which is exactly what's going to happen. Once the dissenting view "passes filter", the news cycle is over, the unfiltered view remains in everyone's retinas, the filtered one ignored, despite any merits it may have.

This is just preparing the field for stronger, more arbitrary censorship.
I have this a bit with the Object Oriented Programming principles.

The code structure just needs to feel right. It's hard to throw principles at it to show which structure is better. To me it always feels like there are so many aspects to take into account, that cannot just be expressed by priciples.

Some code feels right, and some doesn't. Sometimes extending code "falls into place" and confirms that your previous reasoning was the right one. And other times it just remains a complex mess ;).
In a thread full of awful futures, I find this one to be the most depressing.
If someone advertises something illegal or in an illegal way, it's not the publisher who is punished, but the one who posted the ad right? In newpapers, billboards etc.

No. In newspapers and billboards there are human beings involved who have sense enough to make sure things like this don't happen (thought there are cases where bosses will override common sense).

For Google and Facebook, everything is automated so there is zero accountability by design. And when something goes wrong, SV companies point fingers at algorithms and put out pithy press releases saying, "We can do better" but things only seem to get worse.
I'm actually a bit surprised at how little data they have on me. They've associated my main email with an old junk email, they've got my first and last name, and know that I'm male, but there's little more.
Referring to the above example of verb-noun vs noun-verb grammar: take for example the infinitive verb form. With the former (verb-noun) it's just the verb devoid of any context, simplicity in its purest, which is also, why and how it's listed in a lexicon. Looking at this from the noun-verb perspective, you've to construct a hypothetical minimal viable object, which will be also – as you want to keep things simple – the object every other object inherits from, the greatest common denominator of any objects that may appear in your system. By this, you arrived at the most crucial architectural questions of your system and its reach and purpose. While it's still about simple things, neither the task nor the definitions derived from the process will be simple at all. Nor is there a universally accepted simple answer, as a plurality of object oriented approaches may testify for. The question is on an entirely different scale and level for the two approaches. On the other hand, for a verb-noun approach, similar may appear for anything involving relations, which are already well defined in an object oriented approach. And, as you've arrived at these simple fundamentals of simplicity in your system, what may be simple or not in your systems will depend on the implicit contracts included in these definitions and how well they stand the test of time and varying use and purpose.
Google is a startup builder but also a bureaucracy that serves as a startup killer. I have a feeling that a lot of the projects Google creates would thrive if Google had budded them off, and only end up dying because they keep them living within the company. (For example, Google Reader, if budded off, would have just been Feedly a decade earlier, which is a fine standalone company.)
Don't confuse people saying a process is untrustworthy, with the process being untrustworthy.

Despite claims of massive voter/election fraud and massive incentive to find it, no credible law enforcement or media agency has been able to prove it at a scale that matters. Maybe a couple hundred fraudulent votes have been proven across the country.

There is just no credible evidence
There is no in-general. It is very use case specific.

If you're doing media encoding, it would be hard to measure. If you're doing an haproxy tcp proxy, it's big. If you're doing https, it's probably not so big (encryption eats enough cycles that you wouldn't necessarily see the slowdown).
Is Mark Zuckerberg legitimately a sociopath? Does he get off on lying to people?
Where I live we had a reelection becouse 18 absentee votes where counted even thought they were too late and invalid out of 100 000 votes.

I could not believe my eyes when I read up to how the US voting system works. No IDs etc ... and recommencing counting after observers are sent home like in Atlanta. I mean it seems like a willy nilly "whatever" system.
I think there had been some frauds, but even without any fraud (from either side), the result would have been the same.
If he wants to reach out to people he has other avenues like public airwaves, the emergency broadcast system, the white house website, etc.

We shouldn't act like Twitter is muzzling him during a time of crisis.

Surely, a sitting US president can talk to the public without begging a private company to publish his words.
I don't work for facebook. I work for another large tech company.

I worked on doing facial recognition. I was told it would be used to improve login systems. It actually was! It was also used to detect suspected criminals from stadium footage for the Chinese government.

What do you do with this? When even your best-intentioned work was turned against society?
