"the ambitious side that’s never satisfied with the way that things are and the human side that wants to be content and happy" I found this line very relatable -- as with almost everything in life, balance is key. You would think we would know this by now, but it's usually the first thing to suffer. Anyways, I think it's great these topics are brought to the forefront -- instead of being siloed and almost taboo to talk about openly. We're surprisingly closed minded when it comes to mental health issues...

> I’m surprised the mitigation discussion didn’t include “more wind generation”. Especially at the coast

This is just my conjecture, but I wouldn't be surprised if the very high cost of coastal land, and possible objection by nearby homeowners in CA is part of the reason for lack of wind power on the immediate coast.

If you go just a bit inland, however you'll find the massive new Turtle Island wind farm near the Sacramento River delta.
>There must be a PATH_INFO variable assignment via statement fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;. At first, we thought it is always present in the fastcgi_params file, but it's not true.

This is also precondition, and fortunately it's not included in standard fastcgi_params files.
Outlook.com supports this as well, and so does Fastmail.
Came here to mention nim that I've followed with great interest. As it compiles to C you can probably use it just about everywhere.

As far as android support this guy is working on adding support to android via Dalvik assembly. The usual approach to get nim to work with android would be JNI but that might cause problems for example with x86 android machines if I am not mistaken.

They dropped their implementation of MathML in 2013. In the six years since then, they didn't fix it or replace it with a better one.

I'm extremely excited by Igalia's work on MathML and glad that the Google Chrome team had given it their preliminary approval, but in the context of criticising Google for working on the "application web" and ignoring the "document web" (for scientists and others), it doesn't change anything[0]. Google is neither doing the work, nor funding it[1], and their contribution until now has mostly (solely?) been to be open about merging it.

[0] not that you explicitly said that it did...

[1] It's funded by the NISO and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Oh no, there are plenty of loopholes. It’s actually easier for a shady operator to operate than a legit one, deep pockets or not!

Parking tickets are tagged to a car, not the owner. So when you don’t pay in NY, your registration is suspended. Guess what? Bad operators don’t register in NY! (Rental/Lease fleets are registered in Arizona and Indiana, who are “business friendly” for this reason.)

Legit companies get a type of permit that can be suspended. But your shady contract delivery people flaunt these rules and disappear/reincorporate if they get caught.

That’s why the Amazons of the world are moving away from UPS/USPS/Fedex. The contract people are the bottom rung of society and agree (out of ignorance) to take on liability that an actual business would price into their rates. (This includes stuff like making sure the brakes work on the truck or that the driver is licensed, not just parking tickets)

Ah, the whole work backwards trick.
copy-then-paste is only more convoluted if you haven't learned how computers have worked for a long time.

And things have gotten some better for the phone option. But I don't have or want all apps installed. So, my sharing is dominated by copy/paste, still.
> Browsers still can't justify text properly. Even with hyphenation (which iirc is still a problem in Chrome), the greedy algorithm used for splitting text across lines still results in too much space between words when justified.

These are the two main reasons I think of whenever someone complains that scientific publication should be Web-based instead of PDFs. Browsers are still generally lacking when it comes to proper typesetting.
I've heard rumors that 10nm was late and management at Intel put a lot of pressure on the process teams, which led to the "old guard" quitting and the younger generation left fumbling with unusable yields.

But they're only rumors - it's entirely possible that's not the case.

> As long as you have shared memory adding type signatures to avoid thinking about and handling concurrent memory access only reduces accidental complexity and limits possibilities to make mistakes.

That is certainly one way to reduce algorithmic mistakes, but it doesn't reduce accidental complexity, and it's not why Rust requires async in the signature. Rust needs to prevent data races even in non-async subroutines that run concurrently. Rust requires async because it implements that feature by compiling an async subroutine rather differently from a non-async one, and the commitment to so-called "zero-cost abstractions" requires the consumers to know how the subroutine is compiled.
No one chooses loneliness.
When you've been doing development in consumer tech, some of these missteps are glaringly obvious and having proper engineering in place from the start would have avoided much of the problem. I, too, am a backer and keep hope alive, but I, too, am a hardware developer and half the things they are saying don't jive with the facts, or are omissions critical to the product's success (RAM timing, FCC certification, etc). Have to say, I'm a bit jaded now, but if it comes out, it comes out, and I'll be happy regardless. Doesn't mean I'm going to keep my trap shut when something is fishy, though.

My big concern right now is that they're pushing hard to release before things are ready, and with this SOC, that can easily be a death knell for the product they release.
> As a web user, I don’t miss the days of XHTML sites randomly completely breaking because some tag wasn’t closed.

Ironically that was a very rare event in practice. For it to even possibly happen, three things had to come together which were still uncommon even at XHTML's height:

1. The page had to be written as XHTML

2. The page had to be served as XHTML

3. The page had to be parsed as XHTML

Usually at least two of those things weren't happening.
I don't really see why people keep trying to "defend" remote working looking for optimizations in a practice which is fundamentally broken. At what point in our evolutionary history do you think the human animal, which evolved as a pack hunter in a highly socialized environment, was designed to work from home 40 hrs a week? We should be focusing on creating more flexible office environments for our workers where they can come in and work with their coworkers regularly
I lived in one of these in Seattle for a few months. The weird part is, nobody really used the communal areas. The facilities weren't amazing in the first place but I met 1 person in the building the entire time I lived there. We even had a shared kitchen I only saw someone make some Top Ramen on the stove top once.
I did work remotely for around 5 years and I loved it.

No surprise to me but most people need a village to be happy. That means having neighbours, familiar strangers, a regular routine and social bonds between all of those things. Remote work doesn't isolate you from the village.

I think it should be the predominant way of working. It can encourage villages and less commutes. When I worked remotely I found an office in a co-working space. I made friends with other people who worked in that space. I could walk, bike, or take public transit to the space. I had a mix of friends, acquaintances, familiar strangers, and strangers throughout my day.

It's better for the environment and for people.

I also know people who sail around the world and live a nomadic lifestyle. They all face the same difficulties with mental health: they need a village. The ones who manage to stick it out build a village around their lifestyle. However it's always a risk and one that should be planned for.

> Your solution is effectively corporate welfare.

The current state of affairs is corporate welfare too. With an added side helping of externalities imposed on other traffic.

I think you're touching on the fact that all road surfaces in NYC are a massive net wealth transfer to those who drive on them or (especially) park on them.

I agree. Either charge the full economic rate for use of the road, or turn it over to public transport, or some mix of these.
I'm curious as to how police departments and DA offices operate, I would assume they would want/need a judge or at least a lawyer to look over their polices & procedures. If property is seized under an uncostitutional program or if someone is wrongly convicted... I would assume their city/county could be liable?
As another daily Freeplane user, anything not self-hosted and behind a firewall is a no-go for me. Sensitive or not, having someone over your shoulder kills the creative juices. None of the things you mentioned except for split view sounds like an improvement over Freeplane which is an open-source serverless app and great for the power-user.

Perhaps a useful feature for someone like me would be the an online app where I could import a mind map from another program and then choose from a variety of presentation options, and be provided code for an interactive embedded mind map in a blog or website. That would be enticing to people who aren't ready to dump all the features they are used to, and that crowd is much more likely to jump on to something like this than the average person.
It seemed like they used "top40" as a denigrating shorthand for anything that's not "interested in specific niches", given that was the context they replied to.

That’s backwards. If the problem is that the algorithm says healthy white gets treatment more than sick black; that means the algorithm has something else that it’s considering besides healthy and sick. If that’s the problem you’re solving for, you need to remove the input that creates the difference. Once it’s gone, the algorithm will be unable to produce a different result for two people with the same sickness level.
Isn't that where I said it can get silly? I don't want developers having an account on my phone. I just want to process some data on my phone.

I agree with you that there's much, much more we could be doing, and that we should be prioritizing the completion of a maximally-protected bike network across NYC vs the patchwork that we have now.

But we're still at least doing something, more than any other city in the US, and it's a clearly stated priority of the city government. So, in that context, and in the context of the person I was replying to, it's absurd to blame someone for taking the government at its word and using the kinds of scaleable, non-polluting, lower negative externality transportation options whose use is explicitly being encouraged by the city.

When someone chooses to bike instead of drive, that's better for everyone around them, including drivers. You aren't contributing to worsening traffic, you aren't emitting particulate pollution that messes up people's lungs, and you're much less likely to seriously harm or kill someone on a bike than in a car. What rankles me is the guy who's saying it's OK if things are set up to discourage that choice.

Or create the aforementioned delivery / pickup parking and charge a fee for their use.

> My big concern right now is that they're pushing hard to release before things are ready

Because people keep hounding them!

Do you do your best work when people keep interupting you asking when it'll be ready? You would still complete your task if people weren't interupting you, right? The interuptions might cause you to say 'fuck it' and just ship just to get it over with, even though you wanted to spend 10% or whatever more time to make it 50% better.

That's what I'm getting at.
It's not just a monetary cost though, it's a real cost in human life that adds up throughout the year. The status quo isn't acceptable and must be changed (which you seem to agree with). The most obvious way to do so would be to get rid of free on-street parking and add in lots of loading-only zones.
Not if you look at how it is becoming more common to use in Europe, as renewables are increasingly adopted.

In the UK, with around 20% of capacity possible from nuclear, 20% from wind, gas is the largest source that makes up any shortfall from renewables and nuclear. Coal is generator of last resort kicking in after using the international interconnects. Both of those non-traditional uses are down to simple economics - it's not economic to use coal unless there is literally nothing else available. It's reached a point where the couple of remaining UK coal plants are paid a small subsidy to stay idling, ready for spin up rather than cold start, for days or weeks on end without actually providing power to the grid. Coal will be entirely gone before 2025. Gas is getting to that point, but for now, it's the bulk of UK generation.

Peaking is mostly Dinorwig and the other pumped storage scattered around the UK, along with the secondary ability to disconnect the highest industrial users - around 10% of supply I think - they get a discount on rate for accepting an interruptible supply to help manage the grid.
What kind of dirtbag would choose those organizations to attack? That’s the lowest of the low.
HHVM now mainly only targets Hack these days.
I've been working remotely for almost a decade, and never have I experienced, or had coworkers who experience the isolation and troubles that I'm starting to hear about. But I am now realizing that we also don't define ourselves by our work. We do have families, lives, friends, and hobbies. We are quite busy people with full lives, who happen to sit down for a chunk of each day and do our work.

Maybe that is the key - go figure out who you are, build up your life, and only then start working remotely.

> "Remote workers shouldn’t feel like they have to travel to lead interesting, fulfilled lives. It’s ok to prioritize friendships, community, and your mental health over traveling. It may not look as glamorous on Instagram, but you may end up a lot happier for it"

It's always enriching to read personal perspective from people that live on a bubble different than mine.

I want to start working remotely to be able to avoid commutes and to have more flexibility on how I manage my time during the day. It never crossed my mind that I should be traveling.

I would phrase that it is not ok to not prioritize friendships and mental health over traveling.

But different bubbles offer different peer pressures. It is good to know about them in order to also understand my own bubble better
There is really no reason why you cannot have a vibrant social life as a remote worker, or as a digital nomad. The latter is much harder but it's a choice that people make and I would assume they make it knowingly.

How would you classify a CE mark which is obviously self-applied without regulatory approval?

eg, PPE gear where the CE mark carries the EN # vs the number of the notified body.

Very obviously non-conforming, I would go so far as to call it fake if the product has never been truly examined.
They've always been intelligence targets. Any organization closely tied to regional conflicts, and therefore intelligence agencies and the military, is going to be a target.

Red Cross and Unicef show up everywhere there's a serious conflict. Often the very first western organizations there. The job of most intel agencies is to keep their governments up to date on those conflicts. Especially one involved in plenty of global conflicts like Russia.

I'm sure the US embeds agents with them all the time.
I think you are right, that it's going to take many years before we realize that remote work is on the same level as the open office: sounds great in theory but actually counterproductive when it comes down to the practicalities.

I think there are different categories of "tracks". One category is marketing tracks, which include cookies, browser profiling, tracking scripts, etc. This is the one most discussion on HN is aimed at and most people find personally offensive but aren't materially harmed by. The second is legal tracks, which is exposure to harm from legal authorities for activities such as piracy, political activism, and various types of forbidden speech under different legal/national regimes. The third type is personal tracks, which I categorize as the ability for private individuals or groups to connect your online presence to your real self. That is the one I'm most concerned with, as internet users seem almost entirely unconcerned about it but it has far more potential to harm you than Google knowing your sexual fetishes. Nobody cares that they're exposing their real name and face to millions of people and it only takes one lunatic who decides your activities or opinions are worth trying to ruin your life to cause you a world of hurt.
Versioning: sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Same as if you had queries in an ORM and views using the results, you'd need to branch and make changes, then merge the branch together at once. I just do the same. If the database structure changes, I run the ALTER TABLE commands, when switching to that branch.

Other people : I guess like anyone choosing a language, you're excluding those who don't know it. I'm assuming more know SQL than Rust or Elixir or whatever. And more should.

Gain in practice : Two best improvements were:

(1) Having all data and data-logic (which might also be business-logic) in the same place. No worrying that some external code somewhere might have old data/business logic in it. One definitive source. Like Rich Hickey's classic "Simple/Complex Hard/Easy" talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI8tNMsozo0 - I like that this is simple, un-complex. The data and external code don't need to be braided/complected together to work.

(2) The freedom do switch my external code from Ruby to Go or Elixir or whatever, and not have to rewrite all that functionality. It's all just simple API calls.

Sorry I haven't looked into materialized views yet, so I don't know how this compares.
