I love how amateur the physical machine looks, with all of that aluminum foil stuck to it and the wires falling about. This immediately reminded me of how my codebase looks whenever I am doing a proof-of-concept just to show someone that something is possible.

> employer less being able to know what's going on

My question is always how is this any different than when someone is sitting in the office? Unless the employer is literally standing over the persons shoulder all day, work and play look exactly alike. If the person is actually working another job, then it looks even more same.
That was pure gold. Thank you, sir.

I agree with you on persistent logs, but I authenticate with an SSL client certificate, not a password. This is supported by several networks. Also, what do you mean by "plaintext"? Good id services will store a hashed password and the irc connection can be over SSL. That's no more plaintext than any web service login.
I think it was meant to be features.
Range doesn't matter. People tend to have a half hour commute range. Electric cars have long been able to replace gas for commute for nearly everybody already. (range anxiety has been about the exceptions - once a month I do X and the electric car can't do that...)
For me, a 100% remote job was great at first but quickly became torture and lead to some really unhealthy habits (more snacking, increased alcohol intake, staying up late and sleeping until 7:55 etc.) - but everyone is different and perhaps someone who is more of an introvert would do better than I did with this.
MobilBye: Attacking Advanced Driver Assistance Systems with Camera Spoofing
I've been developing software for over 20 years, and I still can't estimate how long something will take me when I've never done it before. This uncertainty needs to become more than just a stick to beat developers about the head and shoulders with. Most of the time the PMs understand this, but there have been many projects where they just don't get it. I have suffered great anxiety from being forced to give estimates when the truth is I have no clue. It depends on how easy it is and how many unforeseen issues I encounter. It was so bad that once my husband asked me how long it would be before I was done cooking something, and I practically had a meltdown. That's when I knew it was time to leave that team. Can we stop pretending we can forecast the unknown? (edit typo)
I usually do 2x my expectation. I keep track of my prior estimates and compare against my real time. I normally miss by about 30% - 50%, this leaves me a fair margin. It’s also been improving with time, which means I’m getting better at assessing my skills and problems.

For me, I tend to work quicker than other contractors / employees, so I still often beat out the other quotes (time or money). That’s not always the case for others, so they margin of safety may not be there. In which case, multiply by a smaller constant.
It would be interesting to see cost of living adjustments for properly priced carbon. Does $2.00 extra per gallon of gas push costs high enough to promote density?

> - Many people have a relatively short commute, so limited range EVs like Nissan Leaf or e-Golf do just fine.

Doesn’t this negate a lot of the benefits of de-ICEing vehicles?

Why doesn’t the government use gas tax increases as a tool instead of up-front discounts?

Getting the 100km/day driver to change from ICE to electric would have 10x the impact as the 10km/day driver.
> Annual payment is proof that you're still alive.

I don't want my domains sold after I die, and I don't want my bookmarks to stop working after someone else dies.

The only parts of a website that I want tied to someone's lifespan is:

- whether or not the site is updated, and

- how the site is hosted

If I could snap my fingers and magically figure out a way to make the site's hosting outlive the person, I'd do that as well. For me, extend GP's original statement to read

> one where an individual can request a domain and have it removed from the market permanently.
> It's not just ineffective, it's dishonest.

People don't understand, so they ask for more information. That's about as honest as it gets.

> tax incentives are the way the government pays people and companies to change their behavior.

Which has nothing to do with motivation. That's a large part of the ask.
Timeglider Acquisition
Minneapolis is really the same way. The twin cites have a very bimodal distribution. There’s high density in the two downtown areas and the corridor between them, but a good portion (most?) of the office jobs are actually located on the 494/694 ring. So you have lots of 2nd ring suburbs with good commutes for most of their residents. And we aren’t space constrained in any way by geography so construction keeps suburb house prices reasonable. But the city does need a bit more, especially with the growth of all of the universities.
Immediate-mode graphical user interfaces (2005)
I would not call running those services "trivial", but yes. If you bolt actual authentication onto something below L7 of the protocol, then you get real authentication. However, it's difficult for permission models to properly integrate with this, which is why many servers still support nickserv.

> Logs

Yes if you sacrifice all privacy you can patch over this problem by running a local bot and then using extra software to republish it. I suppose that is a valid, if unsatisfying, answer.

> IRC is a protocol, not a product, and an IRCd author can add these features.

Except that to directly address these issues within the framework of IRC is impossible. Folks just push any problem they don't feel like solving down the stack, or hand tweaking of their IRCd in ways that most clients won't respect.

Using IRC to build a protocol (as anything other than the shallowest integration for a more robust chat backend) seems to be extremely niche.

>The fact that it has not been done speaks to the demand for these features

Alternative hypothesis: it's much easier to just go build something else rather than listen to folks list off a string of excuses rather than just amicably agree it's a nostalgia thing and it's not for everyone.
I would love to explain to you how you're wrong but I can already see where this is headed and I already got rate-limited last night from a stupid discussion. For the record though I am not in agreement with mass surveillance.
i thought the world was supposed to end in 2012
This made me laugh, because I was quite young when I first got into it. Though I was never anything more than an op in a few channels.
These comparisons are much easier in the metric system : it is either per unit or per kg.
If it is per gram, it's easy still because *1000 or /1000 is very easy. (basically you just move the decimal point, no calculator needed)

It is because we count with base 10 numbers that metric is easy and imperial is difficult.
> You have to realise that before Agile, a fair portion of all software development projects that were started would simply bust and never get shipped.

I have plenty of gripes with Agile, but there's definitely a "victim of its own success" aspect to the whole thing.

"Agile in name only" is frustrating compared to a good system, but in many cases it's still far better than what came before it. Basic ideas like "we should expect requirements to change" and "if the programmer doesn't know what their code will be used for, something is wrong" weren't necessarily accepted prior to agile. Projects that are chaotic, mismanaged messes under AINO might well have been orderly deathmarches or cancelled outright in the past. Some of this progress is technological (source control, post-release patching, digital distribution), but some of it really does owe to Agile.

It reminds me a bit of the scientific method. The elaborate eight-step thing taught in school feels like silly boilerplate, but it's shocking to realize that "ideas are tested by experiment" was a genuine breakthrough from a past that made major choices like disease treatments and scurvy cures based on 'reasoning' without testing them at all.

Why would scientists write good code with documentation if it is not recognized for their career?
In 2019, it's cheaper to realtime encode the rendered screen and stream it rather than... sending graphical resources and command over network.
> Outside of the C++/Java/.Net world, names tend to be much smaller.

That has little to do with code completion, which is more about API discovery than saving on typing. It seems like many Haskell enthusiasts never figured that out, so they didn’t bother with it in tool development. Which is funny, given with all that extra strong typing, they might be able to come up with an experience that is much better than the other languages, but I guess not yet.

During my last sideways Netflix/cheeto/mayo binge I thought – magsafe on both sides?
Got introduced to Jeff after watching him keynote a conference about a decade ago. He's a great speaker. Also thought they had some interesting tech when it came to computer vision at the time. Sadly it never took off and then ConvNets blew whatever Numenta was doing out of the water. Surprised even with someone like Jeff that Numenta hasn't had any commercial success.
But seriously what is a gallon?
Heh. I have a reverse sentiment. As a programmer, I want to communicate with the actual users who'll be using my product. But without two layers of intermediaries on both our and customer side, who end up turning this whole thing into a game of telephone, ostensibly in the name of all the other important stakeholders.
The graphics card in the Mac Pro is older. You can add multiple. There's nothing revolutionary about it that can't also be done with (for example, as mentioned above), dual 1080 Ti systems or better.

Except... if your content is all in ProRes. Then the accelerator card makes an appearance and could make life more pleasant. But if your workflow isn't ProRes, then that pleasantry comes at the cost of 1) more than doubling storage requirements, and 2) transcoding time (which is slow, because the ProRes accelerator won't help in turning something else _into_ ProRes).

For DAWs, I'm struggling to see the "extra potential" - it's a Xeon processor.
The comparison here is Linux, not macOS.
That does sound like an interesting video, and I'd like to see it if you find it (or I might search for it later).

As for the Star Trek (TNG) interpretation of AGI, I suspect something like this in the real world would give rise to a kind of "oracle" situation, which creates its own dangerous problems. A system which functions as described only by observing and giving input where asked still has the potential to affect the outcome of events simply by being a reliable predictor.

A paper explaining this concept far better than I would be able to in a HN comment is available here: http://www.aleph.se/papers/oracleAI.pdf
So the question is: how is the lost tax revenue being made up?

You could try to prove me wrong, but from everything I've seen, I think the consensus is that it will always be possible unless there's a complete overhaul of how browser scripting works. JavaScript has almost complete control of your browser, and if you try to sandbox it or mitigate certain fingerprinting techniques (by disabling/nullifying/randomizing things), people will almost always find some workaround. And the more restrictive you get, the more websites you'll break, since many legitimate code relies on those features (like screen resolution, device type, browser language, browser timezone, what formats and features the browser supports).
I'm curious to know how Gallop measured their results noting that remote workers are "substantially more engaged in their jobs than traditional counterparts who are stuck behind desks all day." Though I understand the logic, how did they measure this
I kind of lean towards double the schedule and cut the scope in half and hope that maybe we can deliver a little extra credit work.

It's important to note that padding schedules is not just done in software, it's a common practices in all sorts of engineering. It's not bad that we do this, it's bad that management often doesn't understand that we do this and doesn't understand why. The understanding why part is actually really important, because that means management can be expected to do their part in managing the uncertainty or at the very least they can be expected to be careful about not making the situation worse.
meh this specifically pertains to the 2-factor feature, and if your 2nd factor is a secret you have gone very somewhere.

While we are at it, let’s pay some attention to the overfishing of other species: for example, the cod fishery in northwest Atlantic collapsed in the last century, and stock of bluefin tuna has fallen by over 70%, according to Wikipedia.

I am not suggesting that whaling is not harmful to the environment. But for me overfishing of tuna etc is much more dangerous because of its scale and economic impact. We need to find a way to fish sustainably, before the ocean ecosystem is damaged beyond repair and we lost our fisheries forever.
