I look at it the other way, I find it reassuring that the universe doesn't give a shit about us, I'd find the various Gods posited over the years a lot more frightening if they actually existed.

In that sense I'm happier in a universe without a higher power, I also get to appreciate all the beauty there is in the universe for a brief period of time and that to me is enough in and off itself.

I think a lot of the reason people believe in religion is fear of nothingingness or an inability to accept that in the grand scheme of things they simply don't matter, basically it's a substitute for having to face death.

The way I look at that is I didn't exist before 1980 and that didn't hurt.. and I fully expect to not exist sometime between now and 2060, the universe was around before me and will be around after me and that's pleasing, given the spectacular chain of events that had to happen in sequence over billions of years for me to have existed at all how could I not.

I'm concerned self-driving cars will make driving so much easier and cheaper that their existence will induce enough extra traffic to more than make up for the eliminated parking spaces.

The only obvious solution would be more tolling, but I'm concerned (in the USA) about our ability to actually implement that politically. (In the USA most roads and parking are free -- nondrivers subsidize drivers.)
Phillip - have you tried making your database connection in 'static' code? With container re-use (see https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/container-reuse-in-lamb...), you should see multiple invokes going to the same container, and you can use the same connection for all of them. That will only happen if your traffic is high enough.
I'm definitely not the person you're targetting, but I was interested in remote working for a long time- when I asked why I couldn't I was given a few reasons:

1) Spontaneous meetings become impossible, scribbling something on a whiteboard becomes much more difficult, the barrier to communication is too high.

2) We've had bad experiences with people who work in other studios/HQ. They tend to shirk responsibility, and it's very frustrating to get them to actually acknowledge your issue as high priority. Managers assume this would carry into remote work if it were offered.

3) We work in R&D, all internet access is monitored/blocked and we use internal systems for communications only, so while we can VPN in sometimes it's discouraged because I have liberties at home that I don't have in my offices internal network.

They do their best to make a good office environment, but it's still open plan (much to my dismay, I can't ever focus in that environment for some reason) but try to strongly discourage remote working.
Really? I also think Docker Swarm Mode is still behind of K8S, but as far as I read the doc, they support
- load balancing between container
- volume handling https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/
- label-based constraint

I know some features are not so sophisticated compared with K8S and there is no AZ awareness, but Swarm may try to catch up with it.
Ok, I understand. You literally mean that both of them will only introduce objectionable policies, not that "less objectionable" might mean, in some cases, "good."

I still don't see the outcome you predict.

TLDR; power consolidation is a risk factor that leads to actual bad policy, not something with actual, palpable negative value in and of itself. E.g. the power of the federal government to end slavery is a win in my book.

* * * *

Let's map "objectionability" onto a number line.

A neutral policy is zero. An objectionable one is on the negative side, a non-objectionable one is on the positive side. The magnitude of the objectionability or virtue yields the magnitude of the number.

I'll go with your presumption that both Clinton and Trump's policies are only found on the negative side of that line. And we'll deal with their policies in aggregate. We'll also assume that current policy is perfectly neutral, at zero:

<---------T-------------C-----0

T = Trump APV (avg policy value)

C = Clinton APV

0 = CPV (current policy value)

Let's map effectiveness to a float between 0 and 1. Simple. If Trump's policies are twice as bad as Clinton's, he has to be half as effective as she for them to equal out. Here's a little table:

APV, Effect, Total value, Who, Worse

-20, .05, -1, Trump, O

-2, .95, -1.9, Clinton, X

-20, .1, -2, Trump, X

-2, .9, -1.8, Clinton, O

-10, .05, -0.5, Trump, O

-2, .95, -1.9, Clinton, X

-10, .2, -2, Trump, X

-2, .8, -1.6, Clinton, O

The problem with that simplification is the assumption that CPV is at neutral, zero. And mapping effectiveness to a scalar factor of APV is also incorrect -- instead, it has to be understood as a normalization factor, attempting to return CPV to APV. The greater the effectiveness, the more quickly CPV achieves APV.

Should any factor bring CPV further negative than Clinton's APV, her effectiveness would become a force that lifts CPV. Meanwhile, Trump's is always attempting to pull CPV further negative towards his abysmal APV.
The opposite of what you are asking: As someone who has worked remotely for 5 years, I can say that a big reason that it works for us is the willingness of everyone to make time for collaboration. For our team (mostly writers, consultants, analysts), this means picking up the phone and having conversations with each other constantly. For perspective, I use ~3000 minutes/month on the phone. This is largely made up of 15-30 minute calls.

If your work product doesn't lend itself to spoken discussion too well, or if that kind of collaboration doesn't suit the team, I can easily see why it would be very difficult to make it work. It is easy to collaborate remotely on ideas, but pretty difficult to collaborate on the final product.

If I worked in an field that required a lot of visual collaboration, like design, I don't think it would work nearly as well. The online, webex style tools are still too poor to support good collaboration on those kinds of tasks IMO.

You can get a cheap Chromebook (which, though inexpensive are actually quite nice quality wise), install crouton on the chromebook, install Lil'Debi on the phone and have an X-server connection over USB. It'd cost about the same and you'd get to have an extra usable device

The way I see it, the only way I think it can really take off (as a niche product) is if the screen and keyboard are amazing (like a Pixel) and it's ultra thin (thinner than a Mac Air). Then I'm sure there is a crowd that wants to have their whole lives on their $700 super flagship cellphone and will have this very slick interface for when they want to access it with a bit more screen and keyboard.

I didn't really read into the details, so maybe you guys are already doing this, but you could also have the whole setup work from any given computer with a keyboard and screen

If you have something like that.. you could charge a LOT more.

Very slick kickstarter btw. Wish you guys the best =)
You can be or you can do. Right now we're in a phase (with lots of cheap money) where it's better to be.

When the money becomes harder to scratch out it'll be better to be able to do.

I like this quote by John Boyd, who wrote the book on aerial combat.

“Tiger, one day you will come to a fork in the road,” he said. “And you’re going to have to make a decision about which direction you want to go.” He raised his hand and pointed.

“If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments.”

Then Boyd raised his other hand and pointed another direction. “Or you can go that way and you can do something – something for your country and for your Air Force and for yourself. If you decide you want to do something, you may not get promoted and you may not get the good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won’t have to compromise yourself. You will be true to your friends and to yourself. And your work might make a difference.”

He paused and stared into the officer’s eyes and heart. “To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That’s when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do. Which way will you go?"

I think its also a lack of examples of companies that managed to scale up a remote dev team.

I see it as a statement about Chang himself. As stated in another comment, Chang is both pretentious and not at the same time, and as paradoxical as his theory on flavor. This is reflected in his fashion, as well.

I'm more prone to believe the answer is dull and not well-defined, on the likes of:

- We really don't know how to deal with the differences, and it is scary to try;

- There are some company process that we are afraid of changing to accommodate telecommuting;

- The risks and costs outweigh the benefits, or the benefits are fuzzy while the risks and costs are clear;

- etc
Ask HN: How long is your edit-compile-cycle?
The edit-compile-cycle (ECC) is the time it takes from the moment you save a file to the moment you find out if you change worked. In web dev, especially with dynamic languages (Python, Ruby, PHP, etc), the ECC is almost instant, likely subsecond.

In compiled languages, especially with larger systems, this can go on to minutes or hours (relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/303/).

How long is the edit-compile-cycle in your current environment/project? I am very curious to know what is the edit-compile-cycle for, say, a kernel developer, or a developer who works with embedded devices, etc.

Also, for those of you with long ECCs, what are some tricks you use to get faster feedback loops on your changes?

Interesting. I'm still wondering about why we should use analytical solutions for shapes rather than meshes? What all is the general advantage? It seems like now we have enough computational power to not have to worry about such analytical solutions.

Also, what is the advantage of using the 'Superformula' to create most shapes as opposed to using some simple parametrization of meshes and enforcing symmetry or something of the like?
Ask HN: Where can I find a cheap frond end dev tutor online?
I wanna be able to ask questions and quickly find out how something works, which is not something you can do when you're trying to learn alone online. You have to usually wait for things to be presented to you.

> There is, I think, ultimately a problem with having to unlearn old skills which is difficult.

Picking up new skills at a level that puts you in competence with AI is just as difficult. As you age and your responsibilities increase and mind plasticity decreases, your capacity for learning decreases almost asymptotically.

You simply cannot make 40-50-60 year olds learn new skills and expect any ROI on it.

Most great ideas generally run face flat into the big wall of human biological limitations.

I run a fully remote company, and most of the objections I've heard from others we've found workaround for.

The biggest unsolved problem is whiteboarding - there is no good collaborative online whiteboarding solution that doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment to be deployed to everyone.
Ever since they started actively promoting their one-line embed (which requires an e-mail address so you can receive your uniquely-identifiable embed code, thereby associating every web site you build with your actual email address), I've stopped using them in my classes.

I'm not trying to get the working classes to revolt, I'm trying to get them to abandon that place and go work somewhere else. If SF is so expensive that working classes simply can't live there or live close enough to commute, then what happens to the city? How does the city manage when it can't find anyone willing to clean the streets, take out the trash, etc.? Or what if they have to pay people outrageous wages to do that to entice them to work there? If a local convenience store needs to pay people $60/hour to work there, that's going to result in some high prices. If a local restaurant needs to pay the cooks and waiters $60/hour, a meal there is going to be quite pricey. If the police and teachers need to be paid $200k, taxes are going to have to go way up to pay for that, and those taxes are all paid by the residents. Many people might not want to move there when they find out the property tax has now been set at 300% (because all the existing property owners are grandfathered to a much lower rate). What'll that do to the realty prices and rents?

I once got a remote job with a startup in Dallas, but it was a bit of an unusual circumstance where I had all the bargaining power. A friend was going in as the director of engineering and really wanted me, and I basically made being 80% remote a condition of my employment. It wound up not working out in the end largely because of that (not because of my friend, but because of executives who didn't feel like they were obligated to honor their agreement with me).

Those are funding caps, which aren't quite the same as limits.

I'm not aware that there is anything stopping private hospitals funding residency slots. Hospital systems with hundreds of millions of dollars of profit could easily afford to fund a few residencies.

Yeah vim isn't intuitive to beginners, but "intuitive" to people that have the context of knowing how the parts fit together.
Throwaway account.

In order to stay price competitive in our industry, we need to use a mix of junior, intermediate, and senior talent.

We have never found a junior or newly-intermediate candidate successfully work remote. Part of the point in having senior people is for them to be available to guide the less learned staff, so it makes no sense for them to all be remote too.

To be fair, for the right senior staffer, we would be willing to consider 100% remote. For the right intermediate staffer, we would be similarly be willing to consider a split onsite and telecommute arrangement, or other flexible scheduling options.
We’ll start with extremes (no config vs all config is yours) and see how people use it. Perhaps we’ll add some configuration later but if we do it too early, we might as well become another webpack.

Configuration makes it very hard to move forward or swap underlying tools. So we’ll stick with no configuration for as long as we can, and try to figure out a way to solve common problems by other means (e.g. smarter detection, platform-specific code, etc).
I don't get why they would need to lock down the configuration and then have to offer the eject thingy.

Couldn't they just offer a "facebook-certified" starter pack/bootstrap?

I guess you could just do an immediate eject?

Edit: looks like they contemplated that in the survey: "Yes, and I will run `eject` straight away"
I have a remote member on my team who came to us as part of an acquisition. He travels to our London office once a fortnight. It works well, but I wouldn't hire remote workers for new roles.

The key reason for this is that our culture and processes within the company are not very well equipped to accommodate remote workers. We're spread across two sites (one of which is a factory), and communication is difficult enough as it is.
I'm not allowed to work offsite, but then again I work in defense, so you can probably put two and two together...

I admit that I'm not a great manager and more of a technician. I just happen to have the authority to make hiring and firing decisions for my tiny engineering team.

I prefer on-site employees to remote for two reasons:

1 - I find that on-site employees are a bit easier to manage. The bar to communication is lower when they're so accessible. Also, I'm working with legacy hardware and software, and there is so much to understand in order to get started on many projects, and it can be a lot easier to sit side saddle with a junior engineer to help them through the first steps.

2 - I don't have a lot of great confidence in my hiring practices and the owners of the company are a little more conservative. As such, I make the safer choice to hire candidates willing to work on-site instead -- I can see when they come in, I can task and re-task on a whim, and I have a much better sense of when they begin down rabbit holes.
