I've been working remotely for 8 years now for a couple of companies. Currently work in an environment where I'm one of the few devs working remotely, where the rest share an office.

I'm trying to figure out if you've actually worked remotely or not. It does take a much more concerted effort on everyone's part to be more inclusive of remote workers, especially if only a handful of devs are remote and the rest share an office.

Meetings aren't usually a problem. We primarily rely on Skype for Business and all meetings are generally held online. We've even managed to move scheduled meetings (which I loathe) into Microsoft Teams channels. The written words manage to keep everyone on the same page, much better than just hearing it.

Microsoft Teams and Slack facilitates the sharing of cubicle conversations and informal ideas but it takes effort to get everyone onboard with using these as their primary ways of sharing convos.

I mean, I don't get interrupted very often. I can be as out of site/out of mind as I want and need. And I'm way more productive working from home, than I am where I can be interrupted constantly. I don't know about you, but it usually takes me about two hours to recover from an interruption to get back to where I was. Not always, but usually.

All of the above is pertinent to being a mixed bag of remote and office sharers. I would imagine that an all remote team, would have an even easier time with communications and inclusivity.

Good to see better statistics being applied.

However, the base methodology appears to be really weak.

The presence of fixes doesn't necessarily reflect the presence of underlying bugs: highly conscientious projects make many "fixes" that improve the software quality against an abstract ideal without directly fixing any defect, while highly unconscientious projects don't bother fixing anything.

There are also many confounders. For example, I've seen project institute restrictions on refactoring changes in response to the huge amount of brownian-code-motion popular projects can receive, only to then have some contributors start misleading describing their commits, "by splitting this function up, we avoid the risk that someone would later introduce an overflow!".

Considering how important software quality is to contemporary engineering, including life safety critical systems, it's disappointing that we don't see more randomize studies. E.g. take a pool of developers randomly assign them to teams using different tools each to accomplish the same task, then compare the results against each other and a hidden test suite.
I think both have their merits and it surprises me that both of them don’t do more of what the other one is doing. First party skills are a great way to make the platform more integrated and useful for the user but third-party is a great way to expand an ecosystem of skills they’ve never thought Of.
> would we not expect it to take a time specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?

There isn't actually an energy-time version of the uncertainty principle, at least not the simple one you're assuming here, although many pop science presentations talk as if there is. A good article discussing this is here:

http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/uncertainty.html

For a quantum system transitioning between states, the probability of transition in general will vary as a function of time; how it varies depends on the specific state of the system. There is no general rule that relates the expected transition time to the change in energy. (Note also that not all transitions are between energy eigenstates.)
Plenty of Accenture fluff in here, but a little worrying that so many companies are not getting what they want out of cloud technologies.

"The barrier noted most frequently by respondents in their top three was “security and compliance risk” (65%), a view echoed across nearly all segments. The second most commonly noted barrier was “complexity of business and organizational change” (55%), with “legacy infrastructure and/or application sprawl” (43%) coming in a third, followed closely by “lack of cloud skills with the organization” (42%)."

Hi,

I call it outsourcing ;)

Joking aside, it's because my friend who help me for the graphic design don't have so much time, and me the developer, don't have much graphic design skills.

Material design is one of the only design system freely available on the internet, with very good documentation, and very good libraries in all languages.
1) Write migration code. 2) Write undo-migration code. Test. Test. Probably die in Live. SQL Server et al. Great fun.
In the US, if you're arriving from an international flight, then baggage claim will be before you clear a final CBP and customs checkpoint.

For domestic flights in the US, yes, generally anybody can just waltz up and take a bag if they wished.
They might mean at customs? When you go through customs you have to get your bag and then recheck it but they do have a place to drop them off without having to go through security again so it's not that much of PITA.
Right. This, and many others, would result in an "Unhandled Exception" notifier dialog in many versions of Smalltalk. I used to work for the company acting as the vendor of 2 (3?) commercial Smalltalks, also doing consulting work for others.
Is it possible you aren't initiating or entering (getting into) social situations because of the fear of rejection or the fear of an awkward situation?
... well now I'm curious to what the likely candidates are :) This is one of those topics I could just sit and learn about all day, I think it's fascinating. If you or someone else in your research group were willing to do an AMA, I would thoroughly enjoy that.
Japan could never surpass us. They were limited by population. Also, while unfair in trade and access, for the most the rest of their trade practices were within the bounds. They also were not looking to be hegemonic and were and are very cooperative with regard to defense.

Never the less, as it regards China, we should bring up and address the issue of unfair trade, theft and other practices detrimental to our economy. Detrimental to our workforce, detrimental to their ecology and world ecology, even their own workers. Being a “good guy” unilaterally (in trade, whatever) only works when others are willing to reciprocate. This hasn’t been the case so far.
I've flown carry-on only most of my life and I've done up to two week trips (business and personal) with only carry on luggage. I'm also not the type of person that just hangs out in my hotel room after work. Of course if you need to wear anything nicer than a polo shirt to work this may not be possible.

1. Wear your bulkiest shoes to the airport

2. Find pants that can be used for work and play (I like Kuhl Slax)

3. Plan on doing laundry (or paying someone to do laundry) on trips over a week. Make sure you bring clothes to wear on laundry day!

4. Don't bring crap you won't use, but it is ok to bring items that you don't necessarily need if as long as they add value to your trip. As an example, I always travel with my Olympus EM5.2 and two lenses.
Something I hacked together for solving my own need.
I do forget just how much support college/uni students get from their parents in the US.

But even in the US I suspect pure financial support is not the norm - health insurance extending to “children” who live elsewhere is obviously super important in the US
It's not realistic to expect the amount of fat lost from any kind of exercise to be anywhere near the total amount of calories expended, though. There are biological limits to fat metabolism that just can't be avoided.
I've been working remotely for 8 years now. I'm truly interested in understanding why you think it's such a bad idea.

I mean I used to have to commute through downtown Portland, Oregon at rush hour. Just being able to leave that out of EVERY day has tremendously improved my quality of life.
> You would definitely not expect that a machine selling for $1000 would have used more than $1000 of energy in its manufacture.

This is a misconception. Energy is not a transportable, fungible quantity the way dollars are. It is entirely possible that the device one buys for $1000 would require more that $1000 of energy to make, if manufactured in a modern economy with high environmental standards.

The major forces in the global economy over the last 3 decades have been this imbalance in labor, energy, and environmental compliance costs. The $1000 retail price in the US does not contain the largely externalized costs that its place of manufacture may have permitted.
Is there a script you find "better" between the Hindi and Urdu one?
> I'd rather have proximity to co-workers so we can easily share ideas in informal ways.

Yes I agree. This informal communication is an under-appreciated aspect of an open-plan office.

I wonder whether remote teams can be structured to mimic the 'closeness' of co-located team members. Here's what I'm thinking:

1. Two colleagues work similar timezones

2. Each colleague has a dedicated TV screen with webcam 45 degrees to the left of their main computer screen

3. The TV screen displays an always-on Zoom meeting showing the webcam video and screencast of the remote colleague

4. At any time, communication is as simple as turning to the TV and saying, "Hey Bill, did you see the Cowboys game last night?"
Where do I go to get this paid enterprise Chrome?
Youtube, Facebook, have to decide whether they're communication infrastructure, like telephone companies, or publishers. In the first case, they have to publish everything that doesn't violate a state law; in the second case, they get to choose, but they accept liability for everything that is published on their platform.
You aren't telepathic. You don't know what people think. Only what they say and do. So why worry about what they think?

As I said, even without growth, there are already Billions of people hungry for a more CO2 intense lifestyle.

And for example birth rates dropping off could still mean more births than, say, 50 years ago, because overall there are more people. (I'm too lazy to look up the numbers, because as I said, there already are a lot of people).

So if it all evens out eventually - what population size will we have reached by then?

And once again - birth rates dropping off is not actually a law of nature. For how long has that effect been noticed, anyway? Industrial revolution, and good contraceptives, have not been available for very long. There may well be other phenomena emerging that counteract it.

Edit: here is a chart showing that while birth rates are falling in most places, absolute number of births has been steadily increasing in the last 65 years: https://ourworldindata.org/fertility-rate#births-globally

Absolute number of births increased 40% since 1950, from 100 Million to 140 Million per year.
Yet governance has been pretty effective since the last 70 years and will only get better as more of Indians get educated and the population growth slows.

Not quite. As a Romanian speaker I can’t understand more than very basic Italian. Perhaps Spanish is slightly more understandable but still not to a 90% level for sure.

I also doubt they understand any Romanian at all.
Why do they ban third-party advertising in particular? It seems like advertising should be allowed as long as it's display only with no outward information flow. Basically ads equivalent OTA television or magazine ads should be allowed.
Don't mean to burst your bubble but they are. If you don't have proper work visa, you can't work from the country you are in. Most companies ignore local immigration laws and allow you to work remotely from wherever. And this is fine by what I consider should be allowed. However it doesn't mean it's legal.
UI/UX complaint: on some breaches for one of my e-mails, I see entries saying "Compromised data: passwords". It's only slightly useful and makes me spend time searching reading the details. "Plaintext passwords" != "Unsalted password hashes" != "Salted password hashes". The qualifiers here would be immensely useful.

Also, what's with the cards here? I can't select any of the text on them.

How Much Has Unix Changed
> The book, published next week, describes how the Guardian took the decision to destroy its own Macbooks after the government explicitly threatened the paper with an injunction.

They were “forced” but not in that sense. The Graun offered to do this instead, and so GCHQ came along to watch. There is a problem but not with forced labour.
> This is not true of video hosting - there can be as many video hosts as people care to build, and they are all equally usable from anywhere on the internet.

There is a limited number of viewers, and content creators. YouTube has the monopoly on those two limited resources.

I'd also contend that "equally usable" is also not true, especially with HD videos. Most of the world can't stream 4k videos across a L3 provider (which YouTube does not have do).
Freshly (un)retired, Gary McGraw takes on machine-learning security (Q&A)
World has changed quite a lot since 1905, my friend. Today, research is not done in silo and publishing new works typically requires significant understanding and knowledge about previous works and collaborators (unless you are doing pure math but even then...). If you are writing research paper in CS, you should have extensive citations in your paper. Top tier CS/ML conferences have typical acceptance rate of 25% or less. The 75% of the papers they reject often have nothing technically wrong with it except minor negligence like missing citations, not enough experiments, missing some baseline, not having confidence intervals in metrics and so on. It is being said that experienced reviewers often can tell you with high accuracy whether paper would be accepted or rejected in about 60 seconds because rejected papers usually has some signs of inexperience of author reflected in structure and presentation. Choosing right conferences is also extremely important because today’s conferences are very focused on specific topic and style. If you go bit off and you face rejection regardless of content of your paper merry because area chair and reviewers would say they are not confident. Typically you should know who has done related work in the field and which are the related papers in past 5 years at least. You should have at least one of those people as your co-author. This is needed because today’s research publications need very specific format, structure, target venue and you need someone to guide and review your work. It’s not just about correctness or achieving some great thing, you also need to compare your work with previous work using experiments and precisely layout pro and cons. Typically this is done by you being PhD student and your advisor helping you to navigate the space. Even with 2 or 3 experienced co-authors, typically writing good paper might take couple of weeks of brainstorming about presentation, content, back and forth, rewriting, rephrasing and re-reviewing. I don’t want to discourage you but if you have to ask these questions, most likely you are no where close to publishing your work. Publishing on arxive is pointless because it is considered non-peer reviewed and it would rarely get you any audience. I would suggest to look up ACM conferences in your field (IEEE is another option but I don’t like them).
Local following. That's what gets the buzz. Online is what you get after it is impossible to book classes in a studio.
By "free" I mean "at no cost to the user". If I wanted to host my videos on AWS or bare metal I'd have to pay for the privilege.
Exactly! We can leave the unionising of the Indian subcontinent to a future generation that has risen above language, religious and ethnic divides and embraced common culture. Until then, it would be futile and foolish to unite diametrically opposed states into one entity. The unity should come from the people and not from political masters. That is when the Union would be able to function effectively.
If I were apple I'd extend the definition of a kids app as any app thats userbase is kids by majority. Not sure how to enforce or detect that, though!
There is no evidence that the company itself knew about or encouraged that falsification. If there was, the DOJ press release would have mentioned it. The employees could be prosecuted, but federal prosecutors generally don’t go after such low level conduct.

Ask HN: Is there an algorithm complexity learning site like this?
I am looking for a website that:

1. Shows you a code snippet.

Fine - so I am laughing from across the pond, where it is not normal. Not in the cities.

In the cities in Europe, you don't really need a car, let alone two. From that perspective, pondering going green on a second car looks a bit funny.

> This is so blatantly false. I am from South and a Kannadiga and I can tell you with conviction that in my lifetime I have never had anyone impose Hindi on me.

May be. I only think this because I've been so this by many people from South India and I'd rather take their word over the state's. Also, even if it is just a perception, it means such things were definitely attempted by the center. Perceptions don't just form out of nowhere.

> This can never happen....

I tend to disagree. You are implying a loosely bound union of many nations cannot exist because of religious differences. That means a tightly integrated and mostly centrally controlled state cannot function either if there are multiple religions identities present in the country which by extension means that the state of J&K has no place in present day India. I think it is definitely possible for such a "weak" union to exist. After all, people of this region have so so much in common. Plus, in such a union each "nation" would retain it's identity while having extremely close ties to other "nations of the union" e.g, free trade, travel, etc.

I agree that it's not probable for this to happen but it definitely is very much possible IMO.

Anyway, the original thought was not a proposal or even a prediction that this would happen but that this wouldn't be the worst thing to happen in case it did.
For an app that I no longer use, long since deleted and have forgotten about, hearing that there was a security incident that compromised my password is unsettling. I was relieved that I logged in to their app through twitter and my password wasn't store through them.

No. This is a fallacious misunderstanding of how markets work.

The hypothetical user of the older hardware is not damaging anyone else by consuming "green" electrons. Their demand provides a market for green projects, and the fact that there is non-green supply still available is simply an opportunity for new green supply to supplant it.

If the demand for green electricity is there, supply will appear, as long as it is economic to do so.
WOW!

As an Apple user I like this a lot but damn... That is going to ruffle some feathers. Does this mean Spotify must now offer a signin with Apple button? (since they do FB signin)

Presumably because third party insertion doesn't give the app creators sufficient control over what's shown. This happens all the time. Forbes.com starts serving malware and then cry
"we didn't know! the third party guys just put whatever in that box!"

So it's not (just) the outward flow of information, but the additional policing burden of a separate inward flow of graphics.
I was like that.

And then I fell in love, at which point I stopped caring about what other people thought of me... I only cared about what the target of my affection thought.

Which was terrible for that relationship because I was extremely shy around her, but it somewhat cured my shyness around other people when I wasn't with her.

Which resulted in a positive feedback loop, wherein my shyness slowly disappeared entirely. I'm still an introvert, and lack experience in certain social situations which I always avoided when younger, but I don't consider myself shy anymore.

Not something easily emulated, but I thought I'd share my perspective anyway.

They're entertainers and motivators.

They know exactly what to say and when to say it to help you push hard at times when you're feeling ready to give up (at scale — they can't see you if you're not in the studio). They choose fun, energetic songs to keep you motivated throughout. They order their playlists in such a way that you push yourself just past your limit and have just enough time to rest.

Being a good instructor is like being a good comedian or even stage actor, where you're feeling the energy of the audience and optimizing for a given outcome. In comedy, it's laughs. In fitness, it's energy. In either case, people come back wanting more.
