> the green revolution (as I understand it[1], partly using GMOs to increase food production, especially in developing countries) is often described as saving a billion lives.

This argument is moot, industrialisation saved those lives, not GMO, GMO only provides a 5% increase to crops in the developed world. Tractors, fertilizers and proper agricultural techniques saved the developed world (just like it did in the current developed one) not GMO.
Could you do the TL;DR of that? I skimmed it, because it's the long-form type of read I hate (little meat, lots of unrelated stories). Is there anything there that stands up to the standard counterargument called "non-ionizing radiation"?
This prompted me to check out his blog. There's enough rant there for a few lifetimes.
GrafX2 v2.5 finally released! - http://i.imgur.com/VSMSsjy.png

G R A F X 2
"Pixels not Dead!"

Release was firstly announced throw IRC on #grafx2 channel on Freenode[0] on May 5, 2018. (little less than 6 years since v2.4, and more than 22 years since v.1.0)

Adrien Destugues (aka 'PulkoMandy')[1], one of GrafX2's developers since 2007, told that v2.5 released[2] few hours ago, but he found one issue with "make install" script and fixed it on next commit[3]. So, all just now ready for package maintainers ;-)

On May 6, release was announced on GrafX2's thread on Pouet.net BBS.[4]

Version history[5] finally updated on May 7, 2018.

Packaging status on Repology[6] show current state of "grafx2" package in repositories of different OS (Linux-based, BSD-based, etc.).

Soon links to all known binary builds will be collected on official site on "Downloads"[7] page ;-)

There are many features for customizing[8]: keyboard shortcuts, skins, fonts, bookmarking folders, etc.

But AMAZING feature of GrafX2 is Lua-scripting and possibility to create addons![9]

One of most known free addons package is "DB's TOOLBOX"[10] produced by Richard Fhager (aka 'DawnBringer') - collection of many AWESOME Lua-scripts for different tasks. Latest version of package is "DB's TOOLBOX v1.4"[11] and was released on December of 2017!

NOTE! Web-site now migrated to http://grafx2.chez.com (if you will try visit http://grafx2.tk it will automatically redirect you to current web-site).

Old wiki[12] still hosted on PulkoMandy's web-site.

I’m not sure realism/positivism is the best approach to empirical data on this.

Only one of my workers is more productive from home, in the IT department almost all the workers are more productive from home.

We haven’t done any research on the causality, but the personality’s profiles for or digitization and IT departments are vastly different, so too is the work we donald the way we go about it.

If you looked at us over all, there’s 20 workers in my department and around 60 in the IT department and around 55 of the 80 are more productive from home.

The setup I personally use to gain the most out of my employees is letting them work their own hours the way they want. I don’t check their hours but trust them to put in the hours they need, and they do, in fact the biggest problem is getting them to only work the 37 hours they are hired to put in.

Sometimes they come in late and leave early, sometimes they work from home and I can tell by what they produce they spent half the day doing something else. But then sometimes I’ll get an email at 2am on a Saturday because someone found his/her coding flow at an off hour.

This would be extremely unhealthy if I required it, but my employee satisfaction went up from 4.3 out of 7 under the previous manager to 6.3/7 under me and our performance output nearly doubled.

Working at home is fine, but I don’t think you can truthfully say that it works for everyone. I think it’s important to leave the option open along with other options in a framework that encourages team work and communication, and then trust your employees to do the right thing and only intervene in their schedule and where they want to work, when you begin to spot trouble.
The proxy object would have statically known size (maximum of the size of the types it dispatches between, plus some metadata such as a vtable pointer or an enum discriminant). Now, because you know the size statically, you can store it in the stack.
Participants were not even selected random

Enter Bloom, who helped design a test whereby 500 employees were divided into two groups--a control group (who continued working at HQ) and volunteer work-from-homers (who had to have a private room at home, at least six-month tenure with Ctrip, and decent broadband access as conditions).

no doubt there are positive outcomes! I guess what I'm speculating about specifically is a reduction in the number of people one socializes with in a collaborative way and a blurring of the line between work and home that may affect a significant portion of the work-from-home population in a negative way.

for me the best situation has always been being a few minutes walking distance from the office. work stays at work, home stays at home, no commute, no bullshit.

I don't think it's a secret that the majority of readers on HN are left wing

I have the feeling that the quiet majority of HN readers are politically moderate and are curious to read a variety of reasonable perspectives on either side of the political divide in order to help themselves form a rounded worldview.

It's a noisy minority further towards the extremes that might give the impression that HN is strongly biased, and the direction of the apparent bias differs depending on the topic.

So I thought about that scenario, I just don't think an EE can reasonably say that circuit design is necessary to understanding assembly programming. Further, by the time CS departments were created, it was definitely obvious that CS was distinct from EE, at this point I definitely don't think it's obvious that AI/ML will ever be distinct fields from computer science.
No. ACID doesn't guarantee that you can't have constraint violations triggered by a concurrent session. That'd make any sort of efficient constraint pretty much impossible. It guarantees that that error is caught despite the concurrency however.
For a moment there I almost thought I was reading about a business that was content making some money and employing some people, rather than presuming that mindless, infinite growth is the only possible path.

I was probably imagining it or projecting my perverted ideals but what a beautiful, refreshing moment it was :)

Yes. And I have a recording of the conversation. Still, is it a good deal?

For me that's basically the "current place I'm working on". If I got a project, I'll have a dedicated directory. But a lot of stuff I are not a project, or will be done forever in a few hours.

So the desktop is a transition area, easily accessible, where I can put all the file I need for the task at hand right now. It's also the place I see everyday when logging it, so I can review what needs to be filed, and what need to be deleted. Clean desktop every morning, clean mind.
Well, people make a LOT of mistakes with Excel. I once made one that caused the answer to be off by $60 million (out of $200m), and didn’t discover it until I had presented to senior management. I never told anyone.
> the biggest problem is getting them to only work the 37 hours they are hired to put in

When I started working from home 10 years ago, this hit me hard. I used to work about 10 hour days in the office. When I started working from home I was working 13-14 hours most days.

Over time that lead to burn out and that made me even less productive. Some of it was because I felt a little guilty working from home so I put in even more effort to ensure people didn't think I was goofing around. In hindsight, that was unnecessary and a bad way to handle my insecurity... my bosses trusted me fully.

Secondly, when you always work from home... you're always at work! So, it's important to have that distinct work time and personal time otherwise they bleed together too much and you just end up working all the time.
The reality is that it's bad science and even worse philosophy. This stuff, like frankly all the rationalist nonsense, suffers from very highly motivated reasoning. The author isn't asking questions he's already decided on the answers and is now looking to justify his ideology. I suspect this is why rationalists are very careful to avoid actual philosophers. Philosophers make short work of this sort of simplistic thinking.

People who really want to understand, say, the meta-ethics of modern democracy and debate are much better of reading Plato, Foucault and Rawls. Then you'd understand that sophism cannot be so easily dismissed because it is in fact pee pure sophism to say that certain arguments are "social shaming" and therefore not good arguments. The entire construction here -- the assumption that there is a single right answer to every argument and it can be arrived at if both sides are just reasonable enough and set aside their social biases -- is, as Foucault would show, a highly suspect assertion born of a very privileged position. People who seriously buy in to these sorts of simplistic models are going to have a bad time. Try having a "rational" debate with a Jewish person about whether all Jews should be exterminated. You might dismiss the response as "social shaming" and accuse them off being "triggered" and emotional... but such a victory won't buy you much.
One benefit of best practices is standardizing the way things are done. I have worked on project where the original developer had invented a "thin models fat controllers" philosophy for Django (best practices are fat models thin controllers). What a mess that was.....
If you have encountered a specific issue where you feel that Amazon ignored you because you weren't a big account please email me using the address on my HN profile. In my experience both on the customer side and now the employee side we are very fair to customers of all sizes when it comes to issues that are our fault. We do have a shared responsibility model though, so if a customer makes a mistake like terminating an instance that had important data on an ephemeral EBS volume, or similar there isn't much support can do.

Did their sample involve men with a 2 year old at home that constantly needs their attention as long as they are at home, and thinks that when their father is sitting on the laptop, he's making pink and blue spheres in paintbrush?

Honestly, I can achieve little at home these days and feel like I'm doing injustice to both, work and the kid.
Why is Jeff refusing the concept of "work-life balance" and then talking about something independent? "work-life harmony" is great, and a great think to have with your "work-life balance". If you never get to go home and unplug from work, (because at Amazon as an engineer you get to stay up all night handling pages or monitoring a launch, and as a warehouse worker you have to stand in line before and after your paid shift for a laborious security check) then you won't have that "harmony" he speaks of. So why is he so opposed to balance?

His rejection-without-justification of the original question speaks volumes.
Unfortunately, my primary use case for my phone is pleco and wechat. Pleco might be persuaded to release something for linux. It seems pretty clear that wechat won't (though there is a web interface to it...).

The other nasty implication to wechat being the primary use case is that a phone without notifications is essentially worthless to me.

I'll get the Librem 5 anyway assuming it's halfway decent; if they can make this work at all, the project needs support.
Came here to find this. Precisely what I thought - I think that some people work better remotely and some work better in an office setting (like myself).

If you ask people to volunteer for remote work then people who are better remote workers are likely to volunteer and more likely to work harder to prove it can work.
I work from office (40min train) and some days from home. Home working enables me to recharge quickly and stay healthy. Office is good for seamlessly collaborative work. If I had to choose just one mode I would go for "home". It's just saves huge amount of time and energy. Feels much healthier. You can still collaborate fairly well if you have internet.
Maybe I'm just off in my own little world but this seems a bit table stakes. Am I out of touch?

This one is so annoying to me. I keep typing names of file and it searches it recursively, so instead of going to what I want faster, I waste time.

It's such a weird decision, as searching recursively something is a rare task, so having a dedicated button would be fine. While going to a file/folder in the current dir is pretty much the basic interaction with a file manager.

I don't get their reasoning there.

If somebody knows of any trick to get the old behavior back (even patching the damn nautilus), I'll take it. I'll probably upgrade in a few month and I'll need it badly.
Napping in the office means you can party until 2am and still have a productive day instead of clockwatching as a zombie from 8-5.

Any tutorial on this ? And above all, how to automate it so that it's applied after updates ?
Honestly one of the biggest motivations I have to work from home which I otherwise dislike is to be there for my children when they're 2.

Especially since where I live (Israel) like most of the world men and women are still usually not equally responsible regarding child care and I personally think remote work could help with that (as well as personal motivation to be there for my kids).

Top 5 Reasons to Start Your Own Business
Do you really want the people building your bridges to have the same attitude as a FB executive? Move fast and break things indeed.

It's really not at all clear that entrepreneurial value creation is anything other than finding ways to bilk people out of money while the sciences and technical arts have a long tradition of slow methodical work that leads to transformations in the underlying substrate of society.

Operationalizing these techniques is important, but let's say you trust in markets to take obvious opportunities and run with them. The entrepreneurs are essentially interchangeable parts, one of them will win. Much like how little we care about whether one news organization is an hour ahead of another, do we care that one company is slightly faster than another at cornering the market? Not really, except as sport.

Of course.

When you first learn about 'cool hacks' like these, you'll want to use everywhere.

Then you'll realize that they don't apply to certain data types in certain environments.

Then you'll come to realize that the rules governing which hacks to use are too complex to remember.

Then you'll want to write a program that figures it out for you.

Then you'll realize that those programs already exist, and they are called compilers.

So now you are back where you started. You have made no progress, but you have gained an important insight.
My point was that the joke is common but incorrect. If someone is telling workers what to do (the government) you've just replaced private rulers with public ones. That could be considered a step up or a step down, but we haven't gotten to real democracy and real freedom. Just because the Chinese call themselves socialist doesn't make it so, just as you might criticize American capitalists for taking subsidies from the government for not really being a free market.

You say that you’re serious, but your comment sounds like a joke, so I’m a bit confused :)

So, in case you were serious: there are good reasons to use more visual and collaborative tools in a team, one is that people won’t learn emacs just to be able to work with others and I personally don’t really care what editors my coworkers use, another reason is that non-engineers are also part of the team, and another one is that JIRA/Trello/etc support integration in others tools (GitHub, Slack, etc.).
