Yeah, agreed. Even places I've worked with wonderful internal IT still have problem users who can't figure videoconferencing, or have damaged/misconfigured their device in a way that prevents it.

It often comes down to the one person who actually knows the specific flavor of videoconferencing walking around and fixing everything for everyone, and everyone remote just mumbling and leaving the meeting.

As I work at an Apple shop, I wish Apple would come up with some decent videoconferencing application that would work with our Apple TVs and MacOS (no, Facetime does not count, neither does Zoom and it's glaring vulnerabilities)

I was in a relationship with Mark for about 3years. I was so true to him i had plans to marry him someday….soon. Then I started noticing some foul play. he always tried to satisfy me even when I wanted only little of him. A sign he was
cheating so I decided to take matters in my hand and told my best friend about it. He gave me someone’s contact who changed my whole life for the better. thought it was a joke after when i funded the exploits and told to be in 24 hours, He helped me hack his FB account,his emails and I got to find out he had been cheating with not one but different women since we’ve been together. All Thanks to onlineghosthacker247 get to him on (onlineghosthacker247 AT GMAIL DOT COM) you gonna thank me later!!
[Disregarding the click-bait title and & related bits in the article...]

Given the Right Set of Parameters™ (omitting for brevity's sake; much has been written about them), Remote Work can be the "panacea", and a path towards a more serene approach to work and life. FWIW, I'm a long-time remote worker myself, and won't nonchalantly say "would recommend it to a friend" without having a serious understanding of the said friend's propensity for it—lest I would lead them down a steep slippery slope.

The boring truth any reasonably experienced remote worker knows is that to be able to sustainably do it in the long run—which is the critical bit—requires a certain "psychological profile": ability to tolerate spells of solitude, having the discipline to do the Right Thing when no one is watching, and so on.

So, saying "everyone loves it" is reckless. Not least because the article's sample size is a paltry 486 people.
testosterone doesn't just help with building muscles, it helps with muscle recovery and creating red blood cells.

I would guess there's a sweet spot in distance where the finish times in men and women are closer, but considering testosterone helps with muscle recovery and creating red blood cells, I don't think it would be a multi day distance.

Since they are wiring the chips on the wafer and routing around defects, I imagine a chiplet design on a wafer-sized interposer would help them deal with yield issues. I wonder what their competition will do. It's certainly possible for Nvidia or AMD to bundle GPU dies on top of large interposers and TSMC has already shown large ones, though nothing on this scale.
Unfortunatly the linked nginx module [1] seems to be unmaintained since 2016. While there is a more maintained fork [2] it seems like neither the Ubuntu [3] nor the Debian team [4] want to package it due to open bugs and security concerns.

It's really surprising considering how widespread Brotli support is, that there isn't a better nginx support for it.

Interestingly it basically is down to a single gene [1] that's called "Testis-determining factor". And while it's usually on the Y-chromosome, there are actually a pair of conditions where either that gene ends up on an X-chromosome, making an XX individual outwardly male [2], and another where that gene is missing from a y-chromosome, making an XY individual outwardly female [3].

I didn't mean for this to come across as correcting you, I just thought it was neat, and it seemed worth sharing.

No. This is a lazy comment. You're giving me a world of homework, without bothering to even give me a specific link to something.

Agile and stand up meetings get a bad rap when poorly performing companies adopt the practices. There's no such thing as having just half of your house on fire. If a fundamental business element like customers or leadership is missing, everything else will be bad. Waterfall and agile methods are equally damned when the something else is causing a company to under perform.
The concept actually did take off, but it doesn't look like piano chords. I think that keyboard shortcuts that use modifier keys are basically the same idea, and that's regularly used across every desktop OS.

The article claims that virtually no new accounts are using Mercurial support at all.

I suspect that they are working on improving their build pipeline and CI tooling and it's proving to expensive (perhaps in both time and money) to get that working reliably for both Git and Mercurial.
I actually feel strangely productive working in busy cafes. Even though there's a lot of noise and people moving around I'm able to tune everything out. However in an open office because I know the people moving around and the noise has the potential to involve me I have a very hard time concentrating.

I came to this conclusion after trying to run in Vivo Barefoot shoes on tarmac (thankfully without the extra prompt of an injury). The technique he describes - avoiding heel strike and running on the balls of your feet to allow your Achilles tendon / calf to provide spring - is a good one, but it's just as effective in cushioned running shoes. I do wish running shoes had wider toe boxes like the Vivo ones though.
...and only have those stand for whom it's not a burden.

It seems nowadays the "standing" up has become some weird ritual that one must undergo, without questioning, as a sacrifice to the gods of "Agile".

Bizarre.

Good thing your Gemfile.lock is checked in and gems hosted on rubygems.org are frozen / imutable
That approach will mitigate your machine getting compromised (which is good) but it won't fix your production machines getting compromised if the gem or package gets deployed. That is usually a much worse outcome.

And even in isolated environments I find myself running code outside of the container for testing. Usually a quick script to test some package's functionality or opening a REPL to run something or running a code-generator (manage.py, artisan, etc). That's all it takes for the malware to break out of the isolation and attack your machine.

For mobile use, the situation is is even worse because it requires the user to carry another piece of hardware in addition to the phone. Chording keyboards existed well before smartphones came on the scene, and the thinking was that you would have some type of heads-up/eyeglass display like Google-glass.

I guess it's just one of those funny things that people thought would be hot in the future but never materialized or turned out to not be desirable when it did.

Are you referring to something like Knuth's Literate Programming (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming)? As a non-professional who's learning to develop on the side, something that follows more of a natural language approach appeals to me, as sometimes I have a few months between working on my project, and comments on my source code help me not to forget why I do certain things in the code. However, I'm not doing Literate Programming, just python with comments.

Is Patagonia's marketing at heart not Greenwashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwashing) ?

I get that they source materials ethically and do things way better than 90% of other clothing companies.

Surely if they truly wanted to minimise their impact on the planet, they would rid their stores of sales and cut back on the amount of new styles/designs that they release.

Where I live there are around 3 patagonia outlets that are always promoting sales of up to 80% off, and that just seems so off compared to what they claim to stand for.

I can't remember in which version of encarta, but when I was young I spent hours on those 3D recreations of famous places travels. I live in a developing country and the access for internet was too expensive, encarta was the best alternative to do my homeworks, find cool images to print, and have a look of the world.
It would be great it could become free for the development of those kids that still don't have access for good quality information.
25 years of this and not once has someone responsible for implementing the open plan included themselves in that plan. Sales and marketing somehow require offices as well. I've heard of the mythical "president in a cubicle" but never seen it.

I would really have more respect if they just came out and said, "we're going cheap."
I like combining my commute with workout. Cycle, run or walk to work. Especially running to work in the morning gives me very nice energy for the day.
My current job -- now 12 years -- has always been work from home, but I'm not sure if it's necessarily "remote work."

I say this because this company has no office space anywhere. EVERYONE works from home. We're small (~10), but spread out over the whole US. I have coworkers I've never actually seen in the flesh, and I only see my boss a couple times a year.

This works very well for us. I'd have a hard time going back to an office. But it's not "remote" in the sense that some folks are in an office and some folks aren't, which I think makes our WFH different from "remote work."
The unforced error was/is not building out solar/wind/battery storage etc.

Instead they just added a tax for every citizen to pay on electricity and KEEP promoting coal.

Also WHY don't counties/cities own any solar/wind power stations to increase independence and lower long-term cost ?

Instead they sell out to companies or rich investors instead and those get subsidized.
I don't understand how this pertains to unions. The conversation was originally about how a union could allow for engineers to be paid consummate to the value they provide due to collective bargaining and therefor a greater control on the supply side of labor.

If you're saying "talented but lazy people who don't use their talent to provide value shouldn't be paid more" yes, we all agree on that. Nobody is trying to argue that point.
Would you look at that! This was not an option about a year or two ago when we signed our contract for bitbucket...
Scientists extract hydrogen gas from oil and bitumen
That sounds nice. But while using U2F/FIDO for a few years (with two HyperFIDOs, one for "daily" use attached to my key-chain, the other as a backup in a safe), I found the most common problem was that websites/services don't tread these keys as first class citizens. For example GitHub: I have my two keys setup there, but I can't opt-out of SMS authentication.

If I knew I could use my keys at more services, I would already have upgrade the daily driver to a NFC variant (so I could use it with my phone).

So, to any webdevs on HN reading this: Take that shit serious and implement 2FA ;-)

//edit: GitHub is just a single example; and it's possible to opt-out of SMS, if a authenticator app is used instead. That's what I mean by second class citizen: Security Key(s) + X is possible, but while X alone can be configured, Security Key(s) alone is(/are) not allowed.
Can gene drive be used against ticks? Mosquitos get many defenders who claim they are important as food for other species, but even that argument can't be used against eliminating ticks.
Is there research about this?

Yup - we might say that as a topic, it's been discussed throughout the ages. For example there are the findings of this guy Paul the Apostle (as summarized by an unknown transcriptionist sometime in the 1st or 2nd century):

Raising the age for tobacco is a good first step. Next is to raise prices on traditional tobacco products and incentivize smoking cessation products like gum and patches. Vapes can help with getting rid of the smoking part but it can be even easier to keep using them as compared to cigarettes. The health effects are so much less that, I'm guessing, many people stop smoking by switching to vapes and then never stop vaping. If you remove a lot of the obvious downsides to smoking (tar, smell, price, etc) and add in tasty flavors, why would anyone want to quit?

What a damn shame. I use git when I have to, hg when I get to choose. The usability and ergonomics are just so much better. I've never had any performance complaints. I chose Bitbucket over Github specifically because of Mercurial support. Unfortunately it's a business decision and they had to make a tough call.
Regardless of what Apple plans to do (which really isn't an answerable question), I'd think what really matters is, what port does your phone have? If the choice is between a new $1,000 phone and this security key, $70 isn't that much.

If you're already planning to buy a new iPhone in September, you should probably wait to buy any accessories. (And in truth, my gut is that Apple will stick with lightning on iPhones for some time.)
Is there a way to check if a gem was released by an account using MFA?

If there was a "published with mfa" flag on every gem release and it would allow a Bundler setting to block installing gems without 2FA.

Of course, this would also help attackers find targets. But maybe its worth the trade-off?

I thought Yubikey NEO supported NFC on iPhones. I remember reading there was some flaky support for a while, then a new SDK was released for iOS 11. Is there any advantage to using the pluggable Lightning Yubikey over the NEO? Perhaps better app support?
It's always best just before the party is over, right?
So far it sounds like the next iPhone will still use lightning, so you should be safe using this Yubikey for a few years at least.
Being someone who has this disease, I can say its much worse than even this article depicts. I was self-diagnosed after seeing over 10 doctors. First was told ahh its Lupus! Then it was certainly some kind of STD, then Rheumatoid Arthritis, then Gout, then reactive arthritis, it wasnt until I looked at my spreadsheet I had kept to look for commonalities that I noticed every one of them said they were "75% sure it wasnt Lymes". I immediately went to anylabtestnow and had a few tests done for common forms of borellia infection and took the results to my rheumatologist. You would think thats the end of it but no, after months of antibiotics I was still not well and still couldnt walk correctly, I ended up at a naturopath in Seattle. All said and done I lost 30lbs, couldnt get out of bed, pain everywhere, symptoms of amnesia, forgetting everything, scoriosis on my eyelids, and all kinds of other really terrible side affects that I wont get into here.
It might not be impossible, but surely non-trivial. Add to that that it has to be done in a undetectable way and the key owner needs to be parted for the key in the time it takes to make the clone.

Several years ago I went on a hike/hammock camping trip. This was in an `old-growth` state forest and had practically no underbrush. The ground around the campfire area was bare dirt, and I sat/reclined on a ground-sheet and a 'sit-pad'. (two layers between me & the ground).

2-days into the camping I started to feel like I was having a reaction to a bug bite, assumed it was mosquitoes and ignored it.

I got home after 4-days, went to climb in the shower and my wife pointed out that I had several ticks attached to my back. So I grabbed my knife, pulled them off, and watched the area for a few days. (I had my wife circle the red-welts with a sharpie to make sure it didn't spread.)

I was ofcourse concerned about Lyme. Turns out nothing happened, and the redness went down. But I took precautions against getting made a meal of, and I still failed. It was a sobering incident, and I know I was lucky.
Impresive, have they had external security firms try to steal the private key? Thats my final thought.

I guess it makes sense. By the time an adversary gets your key you would of noticed and have locked that key from your account.
