Been working remotely for 4 years and so far it worked really well. One of the key factors is that most of the team is remote. So remote is a default here. In the previous position, we had some people working remotely, and it was tough for them. They'd miss a lot of context for why some decisions were made and it was very frustrating. So I'd put that at the very top of the list of things to have for remote work risks.

> Intentionally carve a space and routine and set up a separate remote working space

Yes. It's very important to have a separate "office" space. Then get dressed in the morning, get ready as if you're heading out of the door to an actual office. In the evening at 5pm close the laptop, walk out of the office and closer the door behind you. And you're done for the day.
Ask HN: Overworked Developer. 70 hours a week
I joined a startup not too long ago, there're 2 of us working as engineers there, but we're overworked. Sometimes i have to work about 70 hours a week, the pay is okay, but not as much as it could be, it's lower than industry standard, and i don't have equity either. Also communication with the founder is a challenge.

Has anyone been in this same situation before?
How did you handle it?

I've started searching for other opportunities, and i've seen a couple, i'll be leaving soon. I want to hear other people's experience & opinion. Is it always like this with startups?
I'm pretty centrally located in Denver.
Command E | Senior Software Engineer (engineer #2) | San Francisco, CA or REMOTE (North America only)

Hi HN! I'm the Founder & CTO of Command E…a lightning-fast, secure way to instantly find anything in the cloud with a simple keyboard shortcut. We're building a desktop app (Electron/React/Redux/SQLite) that syncs cloud data locally to your laptop and provides a Spotlight-like search & command interface on top of your cloud data.

Command E is basically a CLI for business users, built on top of their cloud data. It's inspired by the "fuzzy finder" search boxes in IDEs (i.e. Command-T plugin in vi, Helm plugin in Emacs, ⌘T in Atom, ⌘P in VSCode, etc.). The app has a lot of polish and a very clean, simple design. We already support many enterprise and consumer cloud services (Salesforce, Google Docs, LinkedIn, Asana, Trello, 15+ more).

We're a small team of 3 Silicon Valley veterans, well-capitalized by top Silicon Valley VC firms + angel investors. Both co-founders are engineers who worked at a VC firm, Eventbrite, and Digg. Our office is at 2nd and Market in San Francisco.

We're looking to hire 2 senior/core engineers. You'll be building a top-notch Silicon Valley company with experienced founders going after a massive market: search. Electron experience (or desire) is a big plus, but we're open to other backgrounds too. My co-founder and I met ~5 years ago through a "Who's Hiring" thread so we're excited to see who responds to this one - please email me at ben@getcommande.com if you’re interested.
I think your second point is really the crux of the matter. Even an independent GitHub controls far too much of the ecosystem. There’s really no way around that in the current situation. Had they followed a similar path as Gitlab, we might not be having this discussion (regardless of an acquisition). Sourceforge is an obvious point here.
Oh yes, it is very much alive. For instance any topos (with a nno) is a model of intuitionist set theory. And since topos are a very natural type of categories (a topos= acategory which has finite limits and a power object), intuitionist logic is important in category theory.

Two examples: in algebraic geometry, mathematicians use schemes (introduced by Grothendieck), which have allowed to make tremendous progress. But from the point of view of intuitionist logic, a scheme is just a ring, and a quasi-coherent sheave is just a module over this ring (in more details they are ring objects and module objects in the big Zariski topos).

In synthetic differential geometry, one use a certain intuitionist topos to formalize intuitive aspects of reasoning with infinitesimal quantities (without relying on delta and epsilons). Note that non standard analysis also allows to work with infinitemismal quantities (by using ultraproducts), but has the same power has standard analysis (and in particular is classical). Synthetic differential geometry is intuitionnist, so is less powerful, but on the other hands its theorems are automatically valid for more models (complex models, formal smooth schemes...). In SDG, your reals R are a field with an (actually several) element epsilon !=0 (the infinitesimals) and such that epsilon^2=0 (that's why this only work in intuitionist logic, in classical logic R being a field would imply that epsilon=0). In this model every function f: R->R is differentiable, and we have f(x+epsilon)=f(x)+f'(x) epsilon.

In proof theory (like coq) one work with Martin Lof type theory, which is the type theory of topoi (and so is intuitionist). A recent development is to work with homotopy type theory instead, the type theory of \infty-topos. This is more powerful (and can be used as fundations for all of maths), and solve real problems, like correctly defining equality (equality is actually a tricky concept, for instance it may not be the case in the prover's theory that "for any two functions f and g such that forall x, f(x)=g(x); then f=g", but this is obviously a feature we want.) On the other hand it is quite a bit trickier to define (we need (infty,1)-categories).
It was not the quantity, it was the quality of especially the arch channel. But it is understandable that people move away from IRC, since, let’s be honest it’s not something you’d want to start with nowadays. Discord isn’t great, but it is easy and there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of alternatives.

65-75k Euro, 75 is very high but attainable. For someone from the U.S this should be very low.
I met a guy at a wedding reception last year, where we were talking tech, and I was lamenting similar issues (we use fairly large multi-worksheet spreadsheets for configuration). He mentioned that his company makes some tooling that might help with this:

This strikes a chord in me. I’m beginning to dread a daily fifteen minute scrum - which ought to be no big deal.

This is wholly unsurprising, given that GDPR requirements will fundamentally break many popular business models. I think we're likely still in a place where "pay the fine and carry on" is still the most financially viable option for some companies.
Having read a couple of Newport's books, I've discovered how he manages to teach university classes, conduct academic research AND write these general-audience books. No, it's not "having a 6PM work shutdown schedule" as he writes (although it's not a bad idea for some work styles):

His formula is to take 50 paperback-size pages worth of good material from his blog posts, and then assemble 250 additional pages of fluff to surround the central thesis and actionable tips.

I don't want to single him out, and this is the MO of most productivity/self-help books, but it's especially noticeable on his, as he's quite distinct from a self-help guru or the ex-CEO types that tend to write books like these.

So well written. This is exactly what's so scary about this whole thing.
The problem for the US in the case of trains is that the US government owns Amtrak and they own no actual train tracks. Therefore when there are 2 trains competeing for the same track, Amtrak has to yield to the commercial trains. I have seen recent court arguments that it should be the other way around, but as of last year when i brought my father down from chicago to san antonio that was the case (that is a near 40 hour train ride).

I would ride the trainmore if it were quicker and a 4-5 hour flight or 18 hour drive didnt take 40 hours on a train.

Why Is the Cloud Safer Than a Local Data Center?
How long were you remote before you got the office? In my last year or so of remote I finally went for a cowork space, which was helpful.

In the end, an office worked better for me, but I agree the commute sucks. Since I didn’t have one at all for years, I’m very conscious of all the lost time in transit each week, even though my commute is pretty short by local standards (~25’).

Anecdata - I know several people who are close to getting citizenship, and none of them are top of their field or earning mega £££.

Even if the UK moves to a points-based system post-Brexit, I'd imagine a mid- to late-career software developer or similar would easily be able to clear any 'desirability' / skill requirement and salary hurdles.

(Although trying to predict policy post-Brexit is probably a losing game. There's any range of choices from 'the UK doesn't leave the EU' to 'the UK leaves and Scotland leaves the UK').
Anyone know the fallout from that? I see fewer .ly domains in general use, but have there actually been registry policy changes?

Has anyone done the math on this? You’re paying an extra 0.4% fees per txn which is a lot. So your dispute loss rate would have to be > 0.4% for this to make sense. That seems pretty high. That probably means your overall dispute rate is above 0.6%. In my experience you can get your dispute rate well below 0.1% (effectively a non-issue) by making sure your support channels are working and not clogged, and you have a generous refund policy (and of course being honest about pricing and billing, especially for subscriptions).

To me this seems like knowing about a small leak in your basement, but instead of fixing it, you buy a basement water damage insurance policy.
I think ideally, you want something which is non-conductive, incompressible, and solid but soft. A solid material will not flow and potentially leak through the seal. A soft material will not fracture, and transmit stress to the components of the watch. In a hard material, fractures might also appear when thermally shocked (such as getting in and out of the water).

I'd suggest a good candidate would be a silicone gel. It can be applied to the watch in liquid form, allowing all air to vacate, then cure into a soft solid once sealed in the watch. It could also be removed relatively easily, if you decided you don't want it in there any more.
No offense or judgment meant at all, but isn't Iceland due to its geographical isolation a relatively homogeneous gene pool? As in, famously the topic of studies.

This is a very thinly disguised advert for the author's product, and doesn't really advance on the benefits of either approach, as it doesn't go into any depth on why Random Forests/NNs are applicable to each type of data provided.

They're both generalised solvers, but default Random Forests aren't the most common Forest these days - LightGBM/XGBoost are both using Gradient Boosted Forests by default, which would be a much more interesting comparison to a NN's Gradient Boosting.
