Why do people do this? Every (functional) place I've worked tacitly acknowledged that Friday afternoon was essentially for low priority tasks; most employees are starting to mentally check out after lunch.

Who enjoys meetings enough to want to call one @ 7pm on a Friday? That single event would be enough for me to be starting to email recruiters, it shows that the manager not only has no respect for their employees but is clueless; since it's fairly unrealistic to expect that meeting to be productive.

Unless it's a political move to try to force through some unpopular change in a meeting that nobody is paying attention to, which is another deeper level of red flag.
And why shouldn't they be?

What throws them into the "not punk" category? Making money? Growing older?

Really? My impression is that nobody wants to live in expensive tech hubs where they can't even own a place to live, but they can't leave because there is much less work elsewhere.

namely his racism and problems with authorities, both his defiance and his being abused. But he was at least one of the greatest chess players, at least in my humble opinion. It's hard to say because of advances in the game, but just judging a player's ability to "play chess," which means to a chess player once you are well-out of theory, some still say he was the best ever, at least one of them.

> In all seriousness though, a terminal does not a pleasant user experience make.

Yes, yes it does. At my fingertips I have access to every single tool and program without needing to clumsily navigate through folders or Finder, whatever it is. Moving my hand away from my keyboard to my mouse to check TS typings is biggest waste of time when I know how to get to any line in any file with less than 3 keystrokes.

> The way these editors achieve this is through graphical representation of the project hierarchy – the file sidebar

I work on a site which is part game engine, part marketplace, and part React application. I have never once used a file tree because I don't need it to understand the code. This isn't a flaw of terminal editors, it's classic PEBKAC.

Terminal editors don't suck. They require learning and discipline, something that some might argue is becoming a lost art in this field. In the days of "gluing modules together", maybe vim isn't for you, but it's for me and this piece contributed nothing.
It's so bad in the UK that some years ago the EU set up a "British Euromyths" blog, to highlight all the Daily Mail type "EU about to ban breathing!" stories. The pieces are mainly from the expected suspects.

True. I am not disputing there aren't any efforts to manipulate voters. I would be surprised if there were not. But the relevancy that the media tried to transport just wasn't adequate.

I genuinely believe that many just have been played, but that could have been mitigated by providing at least a somewhat believable perspective.
> Terminal editors are out of date. By this I don’t mean that they’re obsolete; I mean their user experience is lagging far behind modern standards. Using editors like Vim and Emacs is not a good experience for the user.

You... you are aware that you can run emacs not in a terminal, right? Use the mouse and resize split buffers and everything? It's okay if you still don't think it's good enough, just... don't pigeonhole it quite like that.
> you’re already free to buy a Miele

I want to buy Miele, or any other quality brand, but if anything breaks (which we know will happen), the service technician has a two hours drive to get to my place, which I have to pay. IOW, the top quality brands mostly offer service in densely populated areas (and it makes businesses sense for them)...
Good point, but it's how the market goes: I have different demands in terms of salary, and I pursue them differently than yours. On the other side, if you have some sort of differentiating power (you're one of those 10x developers, for instance), then you can negotiate your salary the way you want, even if you could live comfortably with half the salary.

It took awhile to stop us g wrists, but now I imagine it as some immensely satisfying glaive work.

BoxVR is another game where imagining feedback is crucial, more so actually with their fitness focus. Their inaccurate calorie counter is completely motion base, so wider faster movements will drive that up as well. Honestly, BoxVR (custom with lots of fast songs) is now more important than BeatSaber to my daily workout, because I’m able to get a lot more effective motions in. On the other hand, I can’t play it with the toddler around (if he got in my way, he could really be hurt by the gestures I’m doing).

The question is whether Google is supposed to be a neutral media or a biased one.

But besides that - most of the time I myself would prefer if Google served more diverse than more popular results.

E.g. seeing several most popular results for a term from every month this year will have way more information than 20 different content copies for the same event popular right now
Exactly, I've worked at a place that let me work home as much as I wanted and it went like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk (That Mitchell and Webb Look - Working from home sketch)

Maybe it's the fact that I don't have a separate "office", I just sit where I would do my computer stuff at home anyways.

If I need to be "remote", I go to a coffee shop or a library, anywhere but stay home. It's essential for my brain to have that distinction between "I'm at work" and "I'm at home".

I am kind of excited for Emacs in Rust. I would love something Emacs like that looks modern and easier to manage like VS' ability to easily drag and drop components wherever you need them, and is very fast to boot, think of ST3, CudaText, and co. Then all the bloatware is optional plugins.

I would say VS Code is a good goal, it has everything you need to have an IDE, and yet you don't feel forced to use it.
NoScript + blocking cookies lets you read as many articles as you want
> The most limiting factor for my choice of code editors is that I need modal editing. After learning how to use Emacs, and then Vim, I can not imagine going back to the typical non-modal text editing. These editors make it much more comfortable to edit text (and code), and ruined every other way of editing for me.

Truly, v*m rots the brain.
They help less than you'd think. In reality the parents of the boys and girls on the inside of the existing networks steer them into in group friendships.

(They help more than nothing but less than you'd hope as a parent - even money can't buy your children entry to the upper classes.)
I think there could be a huge market for a ux effort that brings the somewhat forgotten goodies of old modal editors into the modern world, combining them with new advances like fuzzy searching. I love vim, but it's appalling that we have so many historical baggage creating a gap for the users...

It's so obvious how vim's ergonomics are made for the [adm 3a keyboard](https://catonmat.net/images/why-vim-uses-hjkl/lsi-adm3a-full...) (location of esc, control, arrow keys, etc) and yet we keep making layers of customization or force ourselves to the standard instead of doing the very needed reboot.

It's an extreme situation that created this, but I think if you take species in which empathy has been observed, and put them in a secure environment, where they are all well fed, I don't think it's crazy to imagine that they too will have the luxury of inter species empathy, without any human involve in that regard.

Usually? File handling. It's convenient on large projects to have a list of files in view next to the code.
I work for a hosting company and this is totally normal. Digital Ocean and other VPS providers IP ranges are specifically targeted as many amateurs running servers there.

If you've disabled password logins then just don't worry about it. fail2ban is overkill you can rate limit with firewalld or iptables withou needing extra tools.
A while back I was on vacation while also doing contract work. I remember exploring Montreal, banging out designs on hostel or cafe wifi, exploring the city and meeting people while also being productive when i felt like being alone. It's probably the happiest memory I have of that year.

Would have loved to pivot to that full time if the guy I worked for hadn't turned out to be unreliable. It's still a fond fantasy to find an arrangement like that again somehow.
Because no one can agree on what is "good". It's entirely subjective to each person. One loves vim, one loves Notepad, one loves VSCode, one loves Intellij, maybe someone loves hammer and chisel on stones. Like virtually everything in the programming world, it's all about what gives you the ability to do what you need to do with the least extra effort. Like any tool you need what you need, not what someone else says you need. Arguing about what is better is pointless but common.
How could he bust out of single deck black jack with a $300,000 bank roll? Even someone like me who has a terrible memory can play a winning game against the house in a single deck game. Actually, you can easily play a winning game against single deck with basic high-low. That has to be drug abuse.

I like that the author has high standards for an editor. He should have. In my opinion VSCode and VS live up to his requirements about out of the box intellisense, inline definition peeking, and extensions that are easy to install (VS Code being better than VS in this regard). They probably don't live up to his model requirement, though, but I think the author could have done a better job of explaining exactly what he wants from this editing mode.

Quoting myself from before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19788802)

Communication between team members is a huge issue in remote work.

It works if everyone is on site. It also works if everyone is remote.

But when some are at the office and some aren't, communication and information sharing becomes a lot harder. Mostly it's a process and tool issue, but still humans will rather just turn around and ask the team than spend a minute describing their issue on Slack/whatever.
I hate commuting, and I definitely don't feel like I'm gaining anything in particular having to be in the office. It's just the inertia of expectations that keeps it up.

The best schedule, in my opinion, is one day in the office, to deal with meetings and planning and such that actually benefits from face-to-face, to four days remote, for actually doing work.

This is 2019; you can always jump on a video call. And even though I do have a private office (with a door!) at work, my office ar home is less prone to incidental interruptions, and the network connection is more stable.
I read most of that salty social-media-suicide note and got the same vibe. "Help! This site is failing to tolerate my religiously motivated bigotry -- I'm being oppressed!"

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to get all the security benefits of modern technology without the distraction, the sloppy user interface, the complexity (and attack surface) and user hostility -- in a word, without the incredibly poor design -- of modern technology.

A pager-like device with proper encryption isn't extraordinarily challenging. But planned obsolescence or selling ads is pretty hard to do with this sort of technology, so despite plenty of interest from users, there's not that much interest from companies.
Yes but the romantic era of blogging is over. Content creators have to get paid.

One thing that I don't hear mentioned much when it comes to remote work is that it's the easiest way to get your own office and bathroom. My office's bathrooms are full of motion sensors that don't work reliably (ideally, a toilet should not flush when I am sitting on it, and SHOULD flush when one of my co-workers walks away after leaving waste in it.. neither of these are usually accomplished). I am a lot more productive when I don't have to walk far to find an available and clean restroom.
Think what problem you are facing with the web right now and how you would solve it. Don't solve a problem for a thousand or a million people because all of them will have different problems. Start with you. Do you not like the interface? Do some css play, mockups on gimp or pen and paper.

What are your queries usually? Take a look at your own Google history, find and try to group what you are looking for and what would you ideally find that Google/other search engines don't satisfy.

I understand your desire to do something "revolutionary". But most things are incremental.
> You, and many like you, are basically demonizing all men in MIT

I was just being sarcastic and you are just overreacting.

If asking a girl out is sexual assault, then all men are sexual predators.

It's true even for girls, they ask men out, it's 2019 and I'm 43, I've seen much worse in my life than "asking a girl out".

BTW, they can still say no, it's ok to say no.

If you're saying that Berkeley was paying lip-service to accessibility by having boiler-plate that faculty didn't really need to comply with, well, that makes the situation worse, not better.

> Is there any data to support this, especially considering that compensation is usually the number one way to attract and retain talent

I'd also like to see some data to back this up, but intuitively it makes sense to me at least. A lot of engineers want to work remotely, yet there are disproportionately less remote positions available.

Remote work is a huge deal for a lot of people (including myself), and many would happily trade a somewhat lower salary for it - no commuting means you save money, get more sleep, and more free/family time. I've been remote for several years now, and little things like getting to have breakfast and lunch most days with my family really matter.
I would kill for something like that.This is the setup I was given on January when I started in my current job:

- Lenovo Ideapad 520 (old version with i7-7500, I don't even know how they got their hands on one).

- BenQ BL2420 (24" inch monitor)

Total price according to Amazon ~ 700€

Comparing this to Altium Designer's Recommended Requirements is ludicrous, it barely met Minimum Requirements before I did the upgrades.
Why? What company doesn't adjust salaries based on location?
I love using the terminal. And I mostly use vim and for raw editing hardly anything can beat it.

But there are things which a terminal can't to. The article mentionedd the ability of IntelliJ (and derived IDEs) to show the code of functions in a mouse over tooltip. A proper tree to show hierarchy of code. The ability to click and browse and so on. They are really useful things when exploring a code base.

I think it's a requirement of remote work. You can't pay someone in Malaysia the rate of someone in Silicon Valley.

Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should get fair wages. But that's just not how it works in different societies. "Fair wages" means different things in different places.
I have zero desire to shove my face into other people's existence remotely. If I want to see people or be seen I work at the office.

As for the chickens: you are linking to what look like current regulations in Germany. At issue is the Animal Health Regulation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:201...) which will be in effect from 21 April 2021.

There is a statement that there should be exceptions for pet animals, but these exceptions did not make it into the regulation for chickens. The Netherlands argued for this but did not find support, and is currently trying to arrange for exceptions. It is not fake news.
Communication for a team distributed across NYC and Chicago is not really any different than a team that's NYC, Chicago and remote people here and there. Multiple locations is a problem companies in basically every other industry manage to solve as they grow and yet tech can't figure it out because we think we're different.
I guess we can't all be 10x geniuses who have their codebase memorized. It's really not crazy to want to take advantage of modern UI, and the idea that you simply don't need to see a file tree is nonsense.

I mean, I use vim too. Any project that is sufficiently large benefits greatly from a file handler, there is nothing to be proud about for remembering each and every subfile. Why not just put it right there in view? You can't possibly argue it somehow rots the brain; i mean we aren't even talking about writing code here, it's just accessing files.
