I said excluding eating out, that drives up food bills dramatically. I also avoid organic, but the reasons would be off topic.

I tend to classify eating out in the entertainment budget, so eating out once will mean not going to a movie. I did this when I noticed I was spending 500/month for lunch at work. Having to make the conscious decision to sacrifice a fun activity helps to put this in perspective.

Articles about remote work often focus too much on life and not enough about work.

I’d like to read more about HOW these companies solve remote problems such as: communication, responsiveness, measuring productivity or architectural discussions.

I am especially curious about managing abuse done by remote people.
I'm not surprised. Some people think humans read robots.txt and get super angry when the crawler doesn't understand.
Holy shit those are close to culture names. Weeeeird. I wonder how Banks thought up the names for his ships? He did a good enough job of it that the Halo writers were inspired by it and followed in the same vein. It's a departure - before Banks, sci fi authors (think star trek for example) just followed navy naming conventions.

I really would like to learn enough to play with these tools as the author as, sounds great fun.
This is a great idea. While we're at it, we should standardise "up" so everyone is on the same page regardless of their location. "Up" should be the vector pointing at Alpha Centauri. This would make it so much easier for people around the world to talk about directions.
Cars are ridiculously expensive in Norway, and lower taxes on electeics mean that Teslas can compete with that
Actually, not. The housing crisis in the US, particularly expressed as evictions, is not merely a tech-hub/coastal problem.

Friendly tip, what your company does should be front and center in a post of this kind.

Japan has never cared about sustainable whale-hunting before.
Yeah, and that dollar symbol isn't the only symbol on the key, also provides you the information what the key does and allows you to type it and is used in many programming languages in addition to countries with the currency. The super key on the other hand with Windows logo provides no practical purpose, doesn't describe what the button does and is absolutely meaningless when you're not using Windows. The logo is just advertising, the dollar symbol is not.
Real world transit-oriented design in the US routinely uses either 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile for the radius from transit that most people can/will walk. I believe they estimate that it takes 15 minutes to walk a quarter mile and 30 minutes to walk half a mile.

Single data point: I'm a pedestrian. I haven't owned a car in over a decade. I'm willing to walk up to 30 minutes regularly and farther occasionally. I also use public transit sometimes.

This makes it all the more baffling to me. You get 510 a line, but for a channel with a modest name in any other language, you get much less than that.

Let's just use a modest channel name like "#𐑥𐑨𐑔 𐑯 𐑕𐑲𐑧𐑯𐑕". I've now got a base 45 bytes without any message at all. If I want to aim a message at someone I have even less than that. Your pithy reply with a similarly modest title is 20% of the total allocation for a line, half of which is just overhead.

We run into line limits talk about category theory in #haskell even in English and folks are quite good at compressing contexts. The only alternative is to slice your messages across lines and make a confusing experience for participants.
Agreed. Southwest Airlines does this in the US, with "free" wifi access to their entertainment app/portal. I much prefer it to the often terrible seat-back screens on some other carriers.
Air travel is comparable in fuel usage to trains [1]. Which surprised me a bit, as I expected much better mileage for the air travel, thanks to the exceptionally low drag of the rarified air up there as compared to wheels on rails.

However the railway ought to be more expensive overall due to the other costs: requires build-out and maintenance of extensive ground based network, including some prime real estate; requires much longer occupancy of vehicles; requires much more man-hours for each vehicle crew. Sadly in most settings (like continental Europe) the fixed costs of rail are barely visible to our considerations due to the governmental funding. Meanwhile airplanes only require build-out of the end-points, and the crew required is minimal.

The only meaningful way of fixing the problems with rail is 1) high speed (Mach 0.5 ... 1); 2) de-coupling from wheels-on-rails as the source of noise, drag and speed limitation; 3) de-coupling from expensive on-the-ground infrastructure as cause of high costs and NIMBYism; 4) high automation, little to no amenities; 5) smaller vehicles, more frequent departures. All in all, going in the airplane-like direction. Hyperloop may just be the thing, if it ever becomes large scale commercial.

You are mixing up the vehicle categories. The Tesla Semi is for pulling 40 ton trailers, it is not a pickup truck. Independant from the Semi, Tesla is expected to introduce a pickup truck in a couple of months, which supposedly costs around $50k.
What is the correct amount of time for a tradition to exist before it deserves to be protected?
Why are they 'surely' at least 2m? The beds on the Caledonian aren't that long. A standard (not King) bed is only 190 cm in most countries. You're not going to get a King-length bed on a train - that's not a reasonable expectation.
This is really the only solution, asking people to cut down on their travel within Europe, switch to the (sometimes more expensive) train is just not going to work without a proper incentive.

I'm always comparing the travel times between train and plane. I even account for the time going to the airport, airport transfer etc and if it's roughly the same (which it sometimes is) I'll get on a train but if Ryanair can offer 9 Euro flights (Berlin -> Brussels) this is not going to be a real competition.
I'm not sure if "festues" is a word I don't recognize or a typo for a word that I can't mentally correct into something I'd recognize.
The Caledonian Express is in the process of refreshing all their rolling stock as well. There have been some growing pains (the introduction has been delayed a few times, and isn't fleet-wide yet), but it seems like a significant upgrade.

Excited for our first overnight train ride in their new hotel-room style sleeper cars (with a private bath and shower) later this summer. Even for a family of 6, when you factor in the (saved) cost of overnight acommodations in either London or Edinburgh, it was one of the most affordable ways to travel between those two cities.
For me, the trackpad and multi-touch gestures are pretty much indispensable. I occasionally consider switching to a PC, but having to go back to using a traditional mouse would be a real painful experience.
The question’s framing precludes the answer. Plants do die from environmentally distributed host subversion that can eventually become a systemic failure. We insist on clear interdisciplinary divisions throughout science, so by necessity, we anneal such siloing with “object with forces” paradigm (appropriated from physicist’s tool chest) which in turn feeds back into “world as a collection of objects” (set theory) outlook.
The point is you can't write unit tests for broken API contracts, so either you trust that the contract is upheld, or you've got bigger problems on your hands.
I'm with you. Plenty of people (across all job industries, tech included) go out for long lunches and/or coffee and often aren't checking their notifications for most or all of that time. A nap is no different, and is just as, or more, important to productivity and health as food or coffee.

For certain kinds of "emergency response" jobs in tech, that may not be an option, but for everything else odds are your teammates can survive if you aren't available right that minute. And even emergency responders need shifts and breaks during shifts. If you're a developer, unless you're very actively training a new team member or something, I can't think of many scenarios where an immediate response is truly needed. This is HN and everyone has a counterexample for everything, so I'd be curious about other takes on this, but that's been my experience.

Remote-first companies seem to be very asynchronous (or at least try to be), out of necessity to accommodate people across all timezones, but also to encourage this kind of flexibility.

London has hugely inflated house prices, particularly in Central but now all over the city due to foreign investment. It's obvious - virtually no one who actually lives in the city can afford it anymore.
Probably. If you look at the sensitivity of passenger traffic to travel time, the graph is roughly a logistic curve with the inflection point around the 3 hour mark. On a 40-hour trip, the number of people you'd add to the train by cutting out 4 hours of stops is probably on the order of 10-100 people per trip. If those stations collectively serve more than that number of people, then you're losing people by cutting those stops.

> > All Agile did was put software development teams unfairly under a microscope.

Most managers crave control over their teams; this is not something that Agile introduced. If anything, Agile let them use the sort of control they were already demanding towards more useful and productive goals, by introducing bazaar-like practices to centralized software development (release early, release often; shorten feedback loops as much as possible; make extensive use of refactoring, software testing and XP principles); while at the same time not being altogether incompatible with self-organizing development teams (these were mentioned in the original Agile manifesto, after all).
$195k would be enough to probably only cover one state-employee programmer for one year. Think about your salary, now double it. That's how much you cost your employer. I'm sure a state employee costs even more with how inefficient overhead is for government agencies.
> how many ounces are in a pound

it really doesn't help that you being non-american, could conceivably be talking about any one of about 20 different 'pounds'. America itself only uses the avoirdupois pound, but if you thrown internationalism into the mix, it could be a troy pound, an ISP or a non-US avoirdupois pound, maybe we're even talking about a russian pound... and that's all before we get to pound-mass vs pound-weight/pound-force

here, let wikipedia muddy the waters even more for us:

I still see them at phys.org, but there are just a few of them that keep posting very many denier comments. I suspect they might be paid for by a common lobby that is opposed to all things healthful.
"The advantage of paradigms like procedural or functional programming as well as trait based "OO", is that there is generally an obvious way to structure something."

And surely that would be the way that you consider correct.

After seeing codebases with hundreds of global variables I know that OOP is not the only paradigm that can be abused.

I'd add Peopleware to that list.

>>Colin Kaepernick has saved zero lives, encouraged zero people not to get shot.

He also has not brutalized or outright murdered someone, all the while hiding behind his uniform and the power and privilege it grants him.

It's because our on-shore potential is equally as great and it's a lot cheaper. Additionally, farm states are disproportionately (with respect to population) important politically, so it's easier to get subsidies for on-shore wind. This is also why ethanol accounts for ~10% of the US motor gasoline mix. Wind and solar are way better per unit land than ethanol, so hopefully ethanol is replaced by solar.

Gee, what's wrong here? Let me see:

1. This isn't about genocide

2. Being a "public servant" and thinking that you know better than people and should teach them better contradict each other.

3. Big brother is supposed to be a bad thing.

4. More generally, actual genocide tends to start with the Government believing that it knows better than the people, and that it's their job to teach them how to think "correctly" against their wishes.
