Ditto. I moved, and explained I'd love to stay at the company but that the condition was that I work remotely. They accepted.
I think a lot of the discontent is that (reportedly, I have not read it) he seems to present the material as 1. largely his original work, and 2. revolutionary, while the ideas may be interesting and well presented, neither of those things are actually true.
honestly, same for me. i really like to write on technical books (i know, i know) and highlight parts.

Excellent, thank you for that.
So a question to the more math savvy of readers, how much air is the engines in the video moving? I did not find mention of it but I wonder what temperature and humidity levels they use.
Journalists: Please stop taking social media seriously.

It vastly misrepresents the importance of issues.
People that actually have opinions worth talking about don't have time to engage heavily in it, either because they are experiencing real difficulties or are too busy actually being productive.

Traditional channels (radio, the pulpit etc.) all have some sort of barrier for those who wish to broadcast. Some kind of credibility, accomplishment or urgency has to be present for the chance to be heard.

This is a feature.

Posting a tweet has no credibility whatsoever.

> content, content, content

Yeah. If by content you mean text and images. And HTML + CSS can hardly handle that.

And here's what I said, and it's true as ever:

> For any sufficiently complex component you'll have div soup

> Div soup is here to stay, because it's literally the only foundational layout element of HTML.

No amount of grand words about hamster wheels and ad hominem attacks like "people who can't spell" will change the sad reality: the web has moved on beyond simple texts with images, CSS and HTML have not.

Here's an example of a component that puts content first. Developed with modern CSS with no hacks (each css class essentially represents a single CSS property, everything is flexbox etc.): https://tailwindcss.com/docs/examples/cards

Do enlighten me how you get rid of the div soup. I'm especially interested in the "lovely HTML5 element" called "a card capable of displaying an image and text".
Wow, such negative comments. Nobody cares that you don't like Material Design. /rant

This looks awesome! As a designer and engineer, it's always frustrating when I design something that turns out to be next to impossible to do with the component library we've chosen to use. Having such a comprehensive set of design platforms and web frameworks covered here solves that problem for us. Thank you for building this!

BTW, if you haven't tried Figma, you really should. It's cross platform and even runs perfectly smooth in your browser.

On that note, @axelut - it would be nice if there was a link to open the Figma UI Kit, so I could preview it in browser, rather than having to download it first.
It's really cool.

But now I wonder what a working UX looks like that sends commands to such very remote spacecrafts.

Do they have a review process, a checklist? Does one person just type some stuff and a file gets uploaded (like a cosmic ftp command)?
It's just a cheap attention grab, and we are in an attention arms race. Once one person starts doing it, everyone else has to do it in order to keep up.

When I wanted to submit my podcast to the iTunes directory, I had to install iTunes in Wine because iTunes for Windows is the only way to create an Apple ID that does not involve giving Apple a boatload of money.

And of course, iTunes in Wine did not allow me to paste passwords, so I had to type in the autogenerated password. And the autogenerated answers for the "security" questions. Fun.
Aks HN: I'm Preparing a Seminar on Ethics, Any Tips?
As the title says, I'll be preparing an ethics seminar for our conference. I'll have about two hours, so I thought I'd research a topic and then we'd have a discussion on it and what recourse one has if faced with a professional ethical choice on a project.

The demographic is the consultants of our consultancy.

The topic I'm currently weighing is "Surveillance and freedom" where we'll talk about the consequences of a "safe" but heavily surveilled society. I think it's a good starting point that can branch out into tracking, advertisement, anonymity and privacy.

Have any of you done this before? Do you have any suggestions or tips?

I took the day off and had a fantastic time playing outside.
I know that red is red the same way I know that hot is hot, that cold is cold, that pain is pain, that pleasure is pleasure, that loud is loud, etc.

Sure, you can be taught that when you hear a deafening sound to say "wow that's really soft" but that doesn't change the fact that it's a loud sound and you're experiencing a loud sound.
I sent them a support tweet and think you all should too.
Seems to be quite a common pattern here. So, trying to convince your boss is probably very difficult and maybe even waste of time. Instead just quit and try to find a remote job instead (which might be your current job - just tell your employer that you are quitting because you want a remote job, and they might offer a remote position).
> New York is the most important city in the history of world civilization

Uh huh. You and New York just keep telling yourselves that.
This is, unfortunately, how popular/populist political movements tend to work.

First, agree on the enemy/problem. Then, work out why they're the enemy. This can be xenophobic: migrants, jews, black people, brown people, chinese people, etc. There have been massive popular movements against all these in recent history. They all followed this pattern.

Jews were simultaneously accused of being behind banks and capitalism and bolshevism. Migrants are almost always accused simultaneously accused of stealing jobs and living off the dole. Others chime in that they're destroying or diluting native culture.

It can be more abstract. The problem is capitalism, socialism, monopolies, "corporate greed," the monetary system... Everyone will have their own definition of whichever enemy emerges, and their own reasoning for why its the problem.

Those are extreme and indefensible examples. But, popular movements can also be right about things, while being irrational about reasons.

What we are when we gather politically is... not our best selves.

My humble opinion is that the airlines are throwing the device manufacturers under the bus on this one.

If the cameras were a feature the airline(s) didn't want, then the cameras would have been torn out of the hardware build. Why would the airlines add cost and, more importantly, weight for something they would never use?

This whole message of "oh these are off-the-shelf devices we bought at Fry's sorry we had no control" really sounds like bullshit to me.
I don't think the person who brought it up was aware the issue was associated with the Linux/X11 user agent, unfortunately, so couldn't provide support with the right information to actually reproduce the issue in a useful way. Still, it shouldn't have been an issue for this long, and who knows when they'll actually get around to fixing it. I don't think they're in a hurry to help Linux or Android users.
I used to manage a team with employees over 120 miles away. My VP was against remote employees, but I convinced him to allow my distant employees to work remote 4 days out of the week, and come to the office just on Thursday. The team remained productive and we slowly got approval to avoid even that one day in the office. It was a matter of trust, which was built over time.

If your company doesn’t have a remote culture I have seen people go remote mainly by moving away for family reasons or similar. Then the company has to make a choice.

I don’t think you will have much of a chance of convincing them with arguments about productivity. Otherwise we wouldn’t have loud open offices everywhere.

Good point, from Linus' opinion it can still happen after ARM is king of the client market. Well, they're well on their way doing that with every client except for desktop being ARM, while Intel is having trouble with 7 nm.
I'm pretty sure they have integration tests to make sure that it doesn't block iOS devices. Not having those tests for common Linux browsers is... Apple.
The valuation would not necessarily be determined by revenue only. Website traffic, page authority on Google, subscribers or users in general can be valuable to potential buyers.
Short answer: A week or two after I started working remote, my boss realized that I could do it very effectively.

Long answer: I married a medical student, and due the matching process, had very little control over where I would end up moving to. I told my boss, boss's boss, head of the company, ect, that there was a chance that I'd have to move in about a year. Throughout the year, I periodically reminded everyone that I might move.

Once matching happened, I declared where I was moving. Our parent company happened to be local, and we worked closely with a team that was a 60 minute commute to where I was going. We arranged for me to have an office with the team that we worked with; but we all knew that I would primarily telecommute.

Except for a 1-month period of very bad weather, I commuted to my new office 1-2 times a week. It worked very well until our parent company announced they were closing my new office and moving everyone to what would be a 90 minute commute, in rush hour, for me.

I then asked to be a full-time telecommuter, and the answer was, "you work very well remote." A day or two after I packed my office up, our parent company sold us. I never went to the new office, although I honestly thought I was going to go there 1-2 times a month. It was a very nice location, and I was really looking forward to spending the day there when I needed to interact with our team there.

My story is the inverse.

My company moved from Chicago suburbs to Tampa FL and I didn't want to relocate to Tampa.

I was already working 2 days per week from home, so I simply told them I wasn't relocating with the company and I would work remotely. It hardly matters at all since my manager and 2/3 of my direct reports are located in Germany so I would have effectively been remote anyway.

You might want to look at other corporates esp banks. There are usually lots of people moving from London to NY and back again.
> life is so easy, to the point that others' opinions and emotions can appear hostile.

I have a different take on this. I think part of the reason people seem more hostile and or threatening to one another is because we have more access to each-other. 30 years ago, you probably didn't have too much of an idea what other people really thought unless you knew them personally or they were some kind of a public figure. Now you can go online and have immediate access to in-group conversations you're not a part of - including the conversations of groups who might consider you their enemy. I think we might need a few more decades to develop the social tools to handle this without being at each other's throats all the time.

I suspect another element, at least in the US, is the subtext that the explosive growth in terms of the material well-being of the middle class which was enjoyed in the post-war period through the 90's has slowed. I think in times of scarcity, or perceived scarcity, people tend to emphasize devision and find more reasons to bludgeon the groups they're not a part of.
There's probably quite a few people who appreciate this approach, and would work together nicely with this guy. Lord knows I've worked with some smart people who acted like the sun rises and sets on their choices and methodology. But there's nothing I hate more than condescension.

It's definitely not that I disagree with every point he made, but an open and honest dialog with your team feels so much better than having ten commandments hanging over your head at all times. Your personality mesh either works or it doesn't.

I don't find this all that surprising, sadly - inside the Apple reality distortion field there are only Apple devices.
I have tried arguing this with self proclaimed night owls including my girlfriend.

The time of day is nothing more than a number, so saying that "I can't sleep before 11pm" is pretty nonsense. We swap the clocks back / forward by an hour twice every year and it only takes a couple of days to get used to the change. Spain is an hour ahead of the UK, despite being on the same longitude. If you ever fly between time zones, again it only takes a few days for your body to adjust.

I am still looking for someone to give me a decent counterargument and that "night owls" is a real thing that couldn't be solved with some discipline about sleep and waking times. Night Owls always seem to focus on a specific time, ignoring that fact that it is all relative.
>People then started using her views as ammo to target her husband's business as a way to inflict collateral damage in her life. This is a pretty dirty way to say you disagree with a writer.

This is not new. Side channel attacks like this are how people and organizations with power make the lives of "inconvenient" people they don't like miserable. If you're the reporter constantly covering police brutality don't expect anyone who shares your address to ever get a warning from the police. If you're the guy who blew the whistle on some BS going on in state government expect your brother's restaurant to be much more scrutinized by the health department. Making people who are inconvenient miserable by putting pressure on the people around them is not something new.

What is new is that now any one member of masses who can craft a compelling narrative (aka something that goes "viral") can harness the power of internet lynch mobs to make people miserable. Suddenly this power that a few had is potentially in everyone's hands and it's a Bad Thing(TM).

I really don't like internet lynch mobs but they are just a product of technology giving everybody the power to try to rally people to a less than just cause. It will blow over. Social norms will adjust to make this sort of thing (screwing people for association with people who you find inconvenient) not acceptable or at least not as acceptable to do to this extent. Give it time.
I find it hilarious that this is the developer attitude for their own work, but then they turn around and expect users to just suck it up and accept latency because cloud!
this sort of polarization isn't exactly novel in american discourse -

we have inherited puritanical zealousness/reductionism, a mechanical/calvinistic sense of 'the predetermined elect', an overly rationalizing sense of self-righteousness / exceptionalism, yet simultaneously the notion that not only are all opinions somewhat valid and worthy of consideration. further, topics pertaining to 'what is right' (e.g. philosophy/ethics/morality/religion) as a whole are ignored or assumed to be 'decided' within this framework, which limits our ability to actually view things from differing perspectives. and of course the whole thing is the summit of human progress, so one cannot criticize 'the box' without being ostraciszed (witness downvotes here)

added up, this means that i can think whatever extreme thing I want because all opinions are valid, my zealous reductionism can carte-blanche dismiss all contrary opinions based on arbitrary moving-goalpost criterion (that i'm allowed to invent, because opinions), i can self justify my attacks out of self righteousness, and engage in narcissistic self-identification as the 'elect' by joining with others of my group in claiming to be part of the 'elect' which hold this opinion.

when faced with conflicting opinions i can use these same extreme-reductionist tools to simultaneously attack ad-hominem (you are not the elect), use my over-reductionism to dismiss valid counterclaims out of arbitrary sliced-up criteria (yes but..), and when this fails, sit well with dismissing the whole discussion using 'everyone is entitled to their opinion' which gives myself a good feeling of 'fairness' (despite the actual discussion being the contrary and a mockery of actual discourse) and use the good feelings to rationalize away the nagging feeling that i just actually dismissed something legitimate..

further, in living in such a confusing environment of im-entirely-right-but-yet-you-are-entitled-to-your-opinion contradition soup, i can either stay in the middle trying to be balanced and be confused, or latch on to an extreme point of view, and use the rush of it's novelness and 'clarity' (viz. moving goalpost extreme reductionism) to give my self an ego boost (joining the elect), and 'solve for the problem', which i must adhere to strictly and fully, lest i fall away back to the confusion again..

that said the combination of social media vapidness and broadcast media hunger to pick up 'controversies' makes the whole thing worse, i agree.
Seems this thread was killed by flags. @dang — curious what the reasoning is here. It's not a pleasant subject to discuss but it's a very important topic these days. I understand the concerns about generating flame wars, but I'd love to see a way for civil discourse on this to be allowed to exist.

It's not professional for a mentor to take out his frustration on employees. I'm not saying I never get frustrated with poor quality work, but I don't see it as helpful taking out that frustration on someone. Better things I can do: 1. Figure out how to inspire quality with positive reinforcement. 2. Eliminate blockers to quality. 3. Automate quality checks so I'm not even reviewing code unless it already passes a certain QA level. Sometimes people are broken and that's fine. Let them go instead of beating up on them. But very often it is the processes that are broken and you should be fixing those instead of trying to fix people.
