We are right in the middle of a scale effort. The truth is, we are all pulling 50's and sometimes a bit more, until quiet times. At those times, we make sure family / life balance is good.

In general, yes. That's the schedule when it makes sense. Mostly, we do what makes sense. Flextime.

All in all, the only real issue is when to have company wide meetings? Because we have accounts across the US, the middle of the day will work for everyone.

We all know what needs to get done, so we get it done. Lots of things simply don't matter when. It's all about the things that do matter.

In the past, when working in a more mature environment, yeah. Work the office hours, make sure they get what they pay for. Give a little, get a little when needed.
On this specific bug, I really wish Python just returned a sorted directory listing on every platform. It goes back to Python's original philosophy of passing through OS level behavior rather than standardizing like Java.

It might be nice if mlflow adopted something like this as a feature.
Violence seems to be an innate animal tendency, of course a system to counteract it would be extreme. I suppose such a system would not necessarily be violent, e.g. drones equipped with tasers are mostly nonlethal. And since people react to alarm clocks in the morning perhaps all that's needed are drones with loudspeakers ordering people around. But since it's a thought experiment I went for the zapper.

I was thinking of an objective definition of violence like causing death or serious injury. The death penalty is rarely used in most countries and seems unlikely to significantly contribute to overall violence statistics, compared to police shootings or natural disputes. The Hiroshima bomb is debatable as it might have caused more radiation deaths than an invasion from Japan would have. But a total surveillance system would not obviously cause any more deaths and could be used to prevent them.

SSH: for git and tunneling literally everything: VNC, sftp, Emacs server, tmux, ....

Docker running random stuff

Used to run Pihole until I got an Android and rooted it. Used to mess with WebDAV and CalDAV. Nextcloud is a mess; plain SFTP fuse mounts work better for me. My approach has gone from trying to replicate cloud services to straight up remoting over SSH (VNC or terminal/mosh depending connectivity) to my home computer when I want to do something. It's simple and near unexploitable.

This is the way it should always have been done from the start of the internet. When you want to edit your calendar, for example, you should be able to do it on your phone/laptop/whatever as a proxy to your home computer, actually locking the file on your home computer. Instead we got the prolifetation of cloud SaaSes to compensate for this. For every program on your computer, you now need >1 analogous but incompatible program for every other device you use. Your watch needs a different calendar program than your gaming PC than your smart fridge, but you want a calendar on all of them. M×N programs where you could have just N, those on your home computer, if you could remote easily. (Really it's one dimension more than M×N when you consider all the backend services behind every SaaS app. What a waste of human effort and compute.)
Yep for 3 days before Linux! And then most of the later betas were Windows only.

It wasn’t the final full featured release of Quake III though.
And as stated in Carmacks .plan it was because these gaming communities were so tiny so I’m not sure this is a strong argument for the macs viability as a gaming platform, which was the context of this thread.

I guess in a technical way that counts as a very brief Mac exclusive..

Ofc a more nuanced discussion would have to include something like a probabilities of expected values. But given the cost of creating BS is cheaper than refuting it and the media's proclivity for distributing it, I'm very willing to be somewhat biased against it.
Application Programming Interface for Windows
Because the 32-bit runtime has a fragile base class problem that can’t be fixed—without breaking binary compatibility. Class instance variable layout and instance sizes in the i386 runtime are fixed; making this flexible was the major improvement introduced with the x86_64 runtime.
But that hasn’t really changed our knowledge of alien life much. We still know it’s possible for it to be out there, but we have no idea if it is.
Isn’t that JSON example the same in python, javascript, and ruby?

Unmarshalling into an interface is really just a shitty enum; the number of permutations is finite. A type switch here is like a match but less type safe because it won’t check exhaustiveness of the branches.
I think this is called by many “postmodernism” and it is found on the right and on the left - though far more on the left. Foucalt was a big proponent. He rejected the label but others ran with it:

In fairness, they used the word "may". But I wouldn't call that "explicitly NOT required".

I like good old Picasa for handling my photos. It works on High Sierra and, clicking OK a few times when it starts up, on Mojave. I know there are lots of other photo handlers, but Picasa is my choice. So, no Catalina for me.

Also, I use Office 2011 under High Sierra, so another reason.

HN karma has helped with one place I worked but that was after I had already been there. They noticed on my private computer and said "cool" and it was a form of social credit.

Other than that, the karma is essentially "interesting" but ultimately irrelevant. HN upvotes seem to be only used by people who align and agree with you. Not whether you've added something substantial to the discussion.

On the flip side, I've found that HN downvotes are used by people disagreeing with you without them needing to explain exactly why. I've even had people say I've broken the rules but upon examination I can't actually see the transgression. (So it was useless feedback on their part).

In some cases I've been accused of various things and had people demand to know where I work or to not use a throwaway account ("man up and use your real account" or similarly useless statements). They clearly intended to dox me and were thwarted in their attempt. Then they got angry.
Spooky how similar this sounds to my own experience.

I would add as well that if the acquiring company does not have a solid plan for how to integrate your team/product... you're gonna have a bad time.
>I think in the long term UBI is pretty much the only solution.

Or...the costs of goods adjust as demand shifts, and things previously not considered "a job" start being considered jobs. I don't know why people get this idea in their head that if suddenly everyone works less for the same amount, everything stays the same price. Producers still want consumers, so prices shift. In the future, you might get paid to judge how moving and emotional music sounds. Or how good food tastes. As long as there exist services that humans want and we can't yet automate, there will always be an economy.
Instead what we get are some people working 140 hours for 40 hours pay while millions are completely pushed out of the economy. These kind of benefits will not happen automatically it's going to take serious class warfare and real revolution and bloodshed to get there .
People are skeptical of markets because of various factors:

1. That the rich get richer, so to speak, and inequality grows, leading to increasing numbers of people not being able to afford basic rent.

2. That government is captured by markets and corporate welfare is rampant, while welfare programs for the poor are cut

3. People are not LLCs and we don’t want them to just go bankrupt and run out of resources because they can’t earn enough to cover basic needs. This is becoming especially pertinent with automation and outsourcing reducing demand for local labor.

4. That traditionally valued activities such as a homemaker raising kids have zero market value now that both sexes work

and so on.

Non-market solutions such as a single payer for universal health insurance, universal education etc. are considered essential in any modern democracy. This is called social democracy.
Everything you said is wrong.

1: Ma said that AI can never be as smart as a human. The core of his argument was that humans will always be more clever than machines because humans create machines. Humans working less is just a byproduct of this. I was amazed to see how stupid Ma is. He is truly ignorant.

2: the core of Elon’s argument is that AGI is detrimental to human society. Elon’s first choice is to not have AGIs come about. Merging with them is his second choice and a stopgap measure. It isn’t learn ai or perish, it’s learn ai and reduce the probability of perishing modestly. You may not realize this without having heard other interviews though.

3: musk never said anything about people living in spires as a societal inequality thing. He said in terms of being able to see what’s coming, some people are atop spires and some people are on the ground. All he’s saying is that some people can see clearly what’s coming (AI turning the world upside down) and most people can’t see what’s coming. Nothing to do with socioeconomics or inequality. Wasn’t a social comment.

For folks that are reverse proxying I have a few questions...

1) Do you identify the reverse proxy by host or by path?

2) Do you still run everything over a VPN?

Elevators and public transit instead of exurban sprawl out into the redwoods solves the issue completely.

Came here to say this. What fantasy world are these guys living in? Most people I know barely get weekends to themselves, what with work being pushed passive aggressively through WhatsApp. And no, it is not a choice. For every person who decides to Eat, Pray, Love, there is a hungry guy waiting to work 10 hours a week more to get that job. It is brutal out there.

The FISA court ruling proves the system works. This is good news.

To those outside USA, FISA is like an intelligence related court.

From an earlier gov brief:

> Our government is tasked with protecting an interest of utmost significance to the nation - the safety and security of its people.

By definition, a government targeting its own citizens, except very exigent circumstances, is not protecting its people. It's targeting them, what are they? Are they a saboteur? A patsy?

I think the FISA court is finding the circumstances being put through under these orders aren't very pressing issues.

A country's intelligence wants to stop spies, terrorists, and gain positive foreign intelligence, they don't want psychopaths who feign ignorance of memes getting their jollies off on destroying the lives of its own citizens.

Also, judging by the comments I read, I think users want a GDPR-like law to protect their personal information when dealing a consumer setting. For stuff related to OP https://icontherecord.tumblr.com and its post relating to IC IG and FISA are US ways of oversight in that area.
It’s not about memorizing a particular solution, but the specific solution is only one piece. You should be able to look at the same or similar problem and identify the particular pattern. If you don’t remember the pattern, you’re doing a disservice to yourself by memorizing the solution. It means you need to rework that problem and work on other problems that rely on a similar problem solving approach. The goal is mastery of that specific pattern so it’s readily available in your toolkit.
It depends - generally you wouldnt ever drop a temp table because when it goes out of scope it dies.

If you wanted the CTE/temp table to re-evaluate the query for each select, yeah, you'd effectively have to drop/truncate - but my read on your code is that the subquery would turn into a temp table, be re-used across all your selects, then go out of scope, and disappear.
This simple glitch in the original script calls into question the conclusions of a significant number of papers on a wide range of topics in a way that cannot be easily resolved from published information because the operating system is rarely mentioned,”

In computer science it is a common practice to mention the experimental setup along with OS hardware configuration and third party libraries used for reproducibility purposes. Still many papers suffer from reproducibility. Now the conferences are demanding docker containers with all dependencies and configs. Which improves a bit better. But still lack of data is another reason why we can’t reproduce papers.

Traditional auto manufacturers are mostly approaching EVs the same way old mobile phone makers approached smartphones. They remain convinced that ICE cars (dumbphones) and hybrids (featurephones) will remain relevant indefinitely, even when there is ample evidence that BEVs (smartphones) are the only logical path forward.

Without a dramatic change in course I don't see many of these car companies surviving another 15 years.
I never heard of him being called the world's greatest guy. But to reduce humans(mostly celebrities) into such simple and abstract things(both the argument you're making and the one you are against) sometimes amuses me.

> there is no single common platform for stating what is "fair".

This is the crux of the issue and as always, most people seem to miss it. Often “fair” is used as shorthand for “does what I think is right”.
Miele does this
similar situation for me currently but i manage to survive using a white noise machine. I also leave the fan on in the summer for the noise. I wonder if I would feel better if i transitioned to a quiet sleeping environment.

i've thought many times about how loud motorcycles are even legal, especially at late hours. I even see ebikes that are just as loud which is absolutely insane to me. The worst part was when my downstairs neighbor owned a motorcycle. Occasionally he'd rev the engine or something at 1 am for 10 whole minutes before actually driving it away. Very thankful he's gone now.
At the risk of being downvoted - I have stopped paying attention to Jack Ma. He only knows to to talk.

Edit - Since someone’s asking for an explanation as to why I stopped patting attention to Mr Ma ...

I have seen 2-3 videos where he sounds really inspirational. Like one where he breaks down a persons career timeline and what he would be doing at particular age groups. (Probably the most viral video of him)

Second video where he speaks on how we humans can stay relevant in age of AI (By changing education in his words, teaching children to paint, play sports et al which we already do anyways).

The second video was where I started doubting if he’s a clueless person and just goes around fooling people.

Final nail in the coffin was his video with Elon Musk. I couldn’t believe for a minute when Mr Ma says he has just returned from Mars. After that he said AI should be named Alibaba Intelligence (If he had only cracked open a book and read about the Dartmouth conference). And then the icing on the cake, the answer to AI is love.

I won’t deny that love may be answer to AI, but Jack was just mincing words to make another inspirational video.
> In the future, you might get paid to judge how moving and emotional music sounds. Or how good food tastes.

Those examples sound pretty tractable for statistics, +/- better measurement technology in the case of food. Emotion isn't magic, there are whole industries that already know how to design things to be "moving and emotional".

> As long as there exist services that humans want and we can't yet automate, there will always be an economy.

The issue isn't "an economy", but an economy where most population can find gainful employment during their entire working age. This is increasingly becoming less likely in the future, and we need to find a way to deal with that.

(Also, the prices are flexible, but if they shift too high or too low, producers start doing problematic things or give up on the product entirely. This is how you end up with farmers letting tons of perfectly good food to rot, while 10 minutes down the road there's a city full of starving people.)
Why Apple “Killed” the MacBook Pro
Honestly I just see Elon being trolled in that video. It’s easy to see it the other way around if you come from a different frame of reference. But from my frame of referenance the idea of commercializing Mars, AI revolting against humans, are ludicrous ideas.

AI can be bad, but only through abuse by humans and not by the plot of Terminator. Mars is great but I feel like we have more pressing issue to solve. Being rich and privileged can blind us to the pressing needs and focus on overly lofty ambitions.
Apparently not in the US, or not often enough to have an effect.

We build a lithium-ion car battery
Agreed, needed editing though I fully sympathize with the people in the author's story. The drug shithole I used to live in after prison was crackheads screaming for hours after blowing up pipes in their face when a rain drop hits it after they heat it up, crackheads getting robbed and fighting all night, shootings, constant ambulance and firetruck sirens for fentanyl ODs, my neighbours door being kicked in by a drug collector, or the sounds of an entire crew of garbagemen at 4am shoveling and scraping the street of needles, nothing but constant noise. Walking up in dead sleep to police banging their flashlight on your door asking if you want to be a witness to whatever drug murder happened while you were unconscious. The beautiful freedom when you move to the most remote part of a country and you can't hear a thing all night except a river rushing. Nobody screaming, nobody crying for hours on end, no arguements over petty bullshit. No pepper spray victims screaming no police blaring on their cruiser mic to clear the streets because they can't be bothered to exit the car, no fire alarms because your neighbor fell asleep while his crack burned away on the stove, no helicopters looking for somebody with a spotlight in your window.
