Very excited to see more and more companies embracing the "fully remote" culture. I tell this story often on HN, but after an amazing experience working for Edmunds.com, I don't think I could work another job in an office ever (barring C-suite positions). I now work for a very popular media company (think Buzzfeed, but not Buzzfeed) in a fully remote capacity. This is why remote matters to me:

- As a 30-something single guy, it does wonders for my social circle. From my experience, working in tech makes it very difficult to meet the kind of women I'm interested in. It tends to be a male-dominated nerdy/geeky kind of culture which has its charms, but as far as a romantic partner is concerned, I'm looking for other qualities. I frequent a coffee shop in Santa Monica and have become friends with literally dozens of people over the past year-and-a-half.

- My schedule is my own. I generally work a pretty standard 9-5 schedule (when I'm active on Slack/GitHub/JIRA), but sometimes I wake up earlier and want to get a head start. Sometimes, I might write code later at night. Apart from a few meetings, having control over my schedule is amazing.

- No driving! I know this isn't a big deal for most people, but in LA driving is hell on earth.

- Traveling is awesome. I plan on doing a lot more in 2020, but even this year, I spent a month with my extended family on the east coast (spending time with octogenarian grandparents is quite a blessing), and a few weeks here and there hanging out with friends in Pittsburgh, NYC, SF, etc.

- At heart, I'm a startup guy. I'm constantly working on new projects, refining old ones, taking meetings with potential co-founders, etc. Remote work offers me the opportunity to explore my startup dreams while still being able to live a fairly comfortable life.

- Time is our most valuable resource. And at the end of the day, you get more time. Whether you spend it at the gym, with your kids, or traveling, it's up to you!

Hope more and more companies start treating their employees like adults, but I, for one, will never go back to a cubicle.
Not sure but a 9200-series Xeon with two sockets would be 224 threads in a box.
A while ago I started playing with the geolocation API and tying it in with Google Maps. I might try to use it with Bing maps which I think is better, at least aesthetically. It looks more like a real map.
Best to think about it like email. You can send and receive email to anyone at any domain, if their server is set up for email. We all just happened to centralize ourselves onto Gmail and Google's servers.

Replace email with "social media content" and you have ActivityPub.

>We're in a transition period.

You can say that, I guess. There's no particularly compelling reason to believe that getting through the transition period to the promised land is possible or that the grass in actually greener on the other side.

>You exalt domestic virtues in women, so surely you must agree that these men should do more to make their homes warm and loving places

If that's what will make quality of life better for them and their families. I don't know of any compelling reason to believe it should.

>Or is that not the same thing?

I don't know, for sure.

>You make society strong with rules that are fair for everyone.

I think there's a lot to be said for that, in general, but is it really fair to women or to their families if the pursuit of achieving this ideological vision of total fairness and equality between the sexes ends up reducing their quality of life?

>I think your preferences unfairly limit the viability of one choice and tilt the scales toward the choice you like better, and your assertion that it's for their own good just serves to infantilize them.

We know from data that they did like it when the scales were tilted toward that choice better than what they have now. There's no compelling reason to believe that they'll like the "fair playing field", if it's possible to get there, better than they'll like what they had before.

I don't know for a fact that most of them won't like it, but I think there are good reasons to guess that they won't, and, if your goal is to increase their life satisfaction and that of their families, it seems insane to me to push an entirely ideologically motivated set of changes onto our entire culture all at once without having pretty damn good reason to believe your end goal is achievable and actually desirable.

The science is still out on whether men and women are genetically predisposed toward different average behaviors and preferences. The idea that they are seems completely reasonable to me, given the simple fact that men produce thousands of gametes per second for their entire post-pubescent lives, while women produce one per month for 20-30 years. Reproductive and child-rearing behaviors are obviously vitally important to how we turned out because we only descend from the people whose succeeded in reproducing and keeping their children alive. I don't know for a fact that our brains are hardwired to help us out differently as a consequence of our different relevant anatomy but I think it's totally reasonable to guess that they do, in the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary.

If they are predisposed toward different behaviors and preferences, then trying to socially engineer men and women to all be exactly the same is doomed to failure, and a whole lot of people are going to suffer for it, and indeed they already are, as we can see. And sure, some women would benefit from it while the majority suffered, but like I said, if you want a strong society, you make rules that work for the many, not the few.
My main issue is they seem to be reducing functionality, even when you pay for it.

- Why can't I see the path to other users anymore? That used to be a thing you always got. Now sometimes even a level 2 connection page won't tell you who the common friend is.

- Why can't I categorize my contacts anymore? There's still how-tos about how to do this, and they for some odd reason removed the ability to do this. LI is a much more promiscuous network than FB or others, so I need to be able to throw all the recruiters in one bucket, people I've worked with in another, and interesting people who've added me with zero other contact in yet another. I'm happy to spend the time doing the labelling, but I can't.
Helm is horrible, it makes simple elegant yaml files complex and makes the changes you actually need harder. Kustomize is the correct way to do things.
I am under the impression that gas taxes (which is the majority of the money you stated) considerably fails to cover the cost of building and maintaining the roads.

The Quasar site literally made me queasy with the full screen spinning.

Can you summarize what it does? The site isn't clear, but it looks interesting.
I believe the complexity is inherent, and we haven't yet found a way to handle it gracefully.

I'd like to note that "simple software" means a different thing to the developer, and to the user. And in the grand scheme of things, the developer and all the code he wrote is highly irrelevant. We'd like to think we are, but how much does it really matter what kind of trowel the mason used, and how clean he kept it? What matters is the cathedral he built, the feel of the space within, the durability of the walls.

In my view, the complexity is closely related to scale. I'd like to draw a parallel with nature, where things scale linearly up to some critical point, at which a system goes through reorganization and only then continues to grow. I think mimicking this phenomenon can be a path towards software simplicity.

It's not like people buy cars because they want to waste money. A car is an absolutely massive increase in QOL, especially for the majority of Americans who dont live in city centers and who don't want to live in city centers.
I'm sure lots of people agree with your sentiment, it's just that this comment appears on every post of a Twitter thread so it starts to seem like noise.
Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, and other discount brokers will allow people of all races to open brokerage accounts and purchase low-cost ETFs and mutual funds. A "private client" relationship with a broker at JPMorgan Chase (the subject of the article) may cost you a lot of money in fees.
I think it more accurately depends on the nature of the project and the nature of the patch. Not every patch is "technical debt" [itself a term that often encourages incorrect conclusions due to the debt metaphor not fitting perfectly] and not every amount of maintenance is scary. People react this way in fear before they understand the work.

But sure, it's a good idea to send patches upstream.
So given the new regulation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...), will the Irish PSC be altered to conform to it?

> the only mental model they have for someone who actually uses a GUI is the kind of person who only needs a web kiosk

They should check out Directory Opus -- and I mean really check out the documentation, scripting language, all of it. Now that is software.

I suspect many have this mental model because it allows them to be lazy and make lame things, just like not taking 10 minutes to make the CSS nice is called "minimalistic" and not "fucking inept".
1-(1-1/10000000)^500000 = 0.048770577854436836

In other words, if all new plane models were as safe as the 737 (1 catastrophe per 10 million flights), about 5% of those new plane models would have at least one catastrophe within the first 500k flights.

This!

Largely because the finance industry(or perhaps the world) is run by sales people.

Don't be a sucker, if you don't understand your financial assets in detail(e.g. if you are buying an index fund, understand why, not just based on past performance, go deep, what's the weighting?(currently float weighted which makes it easiest to sell to you, but the worst possible weighting makes it buy high and sell low).

Fuck that's a shit fuck ton of work for just a surface level analysis. But you should do much more research into your mutual funds/stocks than you do your next car purchase.

So yeah, it's not that they were left holding the bag, it's that they were sold free money that turned out to be not so free. Imagine that.
Here's what I thought this would be about:

There's a problem with the Wayback Machine in specific which can kill your ability to access it quite silently, unless you know how to use the browser's development tools and interpret headers.

It has to do with cookies: Somehow, the Wayback Machine sets cookies... and sets cookies... and keeps setting cookies, until it overflows its own ability to accept cookies. At that point, your browser tries to access a Wayback Machine page, handing the server all of the cookies it currently has, and the server refuses to deal. It absolutely denies everything, sending an error header and a blank page. You have to clear all web.archive.org cookies to get anything at all, at which point it works perfectly.

I've completely solved this problem by blacklisting web.archive.org in browser cookie blacklists. I haven't had it happen since then. As far as I'm concerned, the problem is diagnosed and just needs to be solved. At their end.
What does that mean in terms of responsibility to take bad content content down? Seems like this would allow them to argue fake news is not their problem anymore.
They are just a nice interface to visualise stuff that is stored in a decentralised way, outside of their direct control.
Also I guess it means you can cut this AWS bill by like a lot.

I feel like what actually gets output to the dom sees more of a benefit from sensible templating than from typability. Can't think of a time in untyped codebases where I thought that was important enough to slow me down. Perhaps it could help in typed codebases though.
Sure you can. FreeBSD has been doing it for ages.
This is what I understood from all the hubbub around Fuchsia with Flutter powering the interfaces.
RIP Marie. Her voice was beautiful and had a unique signature to it. They still are one of my favorite bands. Many of their songs had so much emotion poured into it (happy, sad, depressed, excited, in love). The songs were so original and unique. As a band, Per and Marie were a perfect mix. It's sad to see her passing.
CPU hotplug has been supported for a long time. I once managed some Sun boxes that allowed replacing/upgrading CPUs without shutting down... They don't build em like that anymore.
The model doesn't fail inmediately after having consumed all the resources, because we usually don't get to that point: at certain point the costs are higher but the price of the goods hasn't improved (because somebody else has replaced the goods with technology or has started to exploit cheaper to extract resources from somewhere else), so you just drop the still available resources and get your money to other investments.

That's what's happening right now in Vaca Muerta, Argentina (which is similar to Permium in Texas).

Well, I'm not going to the end of the story in Earth resources, when everything has been depleted, but I suspect I would be rushing conclusions in that case: (even) current technology still holds some good cards to fastly add lots of new resources to our planetary whole stuff.
I would guess it's based on the fact that when most people hear "access control" they think of "access control lists", but it's possible to do decentralized access control. That's what ocaps are.
If price=value by definition then that means there is no such thing as market manipulation, buy definition. And that the value of exchange traded tulips was in actual fact enormous at one point.

The fact that arbitration actually exists is because there is a disconnect between price and wealth generated solely by information differential.

And beyond an exchange, that, merely because their parent's opportunity cost differs greatly, raising one infant is in fact vastly more valuable than another essentially identical infant.

I would suggest that price is not identical to value, it's just that the market is usually the best way to determine a value.
The extreme level of contempt LinkedIn displays towards its users with its dark patterns is a much bigger problem than recruiters frankly.

That is mainly a density issue. Most people don't like density.

At an ordinary population density, supermarkets are about 2 to 5 miles from each other, which is probably 3 to 7 miles by road.

Large stores require many customers in order to remain in business. If supermarkets are closer, then they lose efficiency. Prices must be higher. Variety drops; you'll get just 2 types of cheese and 1 type of apple if the stores have to be smaller.

Without a car, large shopping trips become impossible. A young healthy adult can carry 1 or 2 shopping bags about 0.7 mile without major difficulty, but that just isn't enough. Stores would have to shrink by a factor of 20 to 100 in order to get them close enough, but the efficiency still plunges. Think of the portion of each sale that must support the manager's salary, or the number of stores at which each delivery truck must stop.

Without a car, frozen food can only be purchased in winter. Hot food, such as the fried chicken my supermarket offers, would never be able to get home in good condition.
I see Knack on this list, shame there's no Knack 2. That was a masterpiece.
I worked in finance too, trading platforms in investment banks and prop trading shops. There hasn't been accountants there for a long time. Places that still rely on manual labor are a very different kind.
31 years late, Google attempts to re-brand "Ubiquitous Computing" (aka "Calm Technology") as "Ambient Computing". At least it sounds more mellow, less intrusive, unwelcome, penetrative, and phallic than the other attempt at rebranding UbiComp as "Pervasive Computing" in order to sell it to the military.

>The term pervasive computing followed in the late 1990s, largely popularized by the creation of IBM's pervasive computing division. Though synonymous today, Professor Friedemann Mattern of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich noted in a 2004 paper that:

>Weiser saw the term 'ubiquitous computing' in a more academic and idealistic sense as an unobtrusive, human-centric technology vision that will not be realized for many years, yet [the] industry has coined the term 'pervasive computing' with a slightly different slant. Though this also relates to pervasive and omnipresent information processing, its primary goal is to use this information processing in the near future in the fields of electronic commerce and web-based business processes. In this pragmatic variation -- where wireless communication plays an important role alongside various mobile devices such as smartphones and PDAs -- ubiquitous computing is already gaining a foothold in practice.

You say pervasive, I say perversive. Let's call the whole thing off.

I don't think this is true. C compilers often have a whole bunch of optimizations built in, which could easily make them quite a lot slower than a less-optimized compiler for a language with a more advanced/complex type system. There are other factors as well, such as the efficiency of the compiler--the same C compiler implemented in C and compiled with an advanced C compiler will handily beat a C compiler written in Python and executed on CPython. But to your point, all-else-equal, a program in a language with an advanced type system takes longer to compile than a simpler type system.
This is a brilliant idea! Hopefully it becomes popular.

The glimpse into the life of the Romans is itself exhilarating. A thousand years hence you won't be around to care about how your embarrassing posts affect your reputation, and those who find it might be more grateful for the glimpse into early 21st century life than inclined to snigger or cringe at your comment.
I don't really worry too much. Between all the stuff that doesn't get archived, the fact that the sheer volume tends to effectively hide any single piece of information, and the frequent difficulty of connecting online identities to specific real people, it's not like most people have a perfectly discoverable complete digital record online.
The notes are more durable than linen currency and less durable than polymer currency. We found this to be an acceptable tradeoff. Most of the note can be destroyed but the funds still claimable. There is an envelope of durability properties associated with physical cash - Kong fits within most of these. Of course there is opportunity for improvement which we hope to address in future versions.

Thank you for saying this. ActivityPub is so wrong in so many ways, and still people keep pushing it as if it was a silver bullet. I think people who talk about it and think it's very good never tried to understand it or write something with it.

$75k per year is a pretty insane amount of disposable income for most Americans, where median household income is 63k[1], per capita disposable income is 45k[2], and 78% of people report living paycheck-to-paycheck[3]. Anecdotally the only people I know who are funding their retirement well in there 20’s are generationally wealthy and got a house from mom and dad. Many, even those with some disposable income, live paycheck to paycheck.

Also, as my sister comment points out, rich people can still have ridiculous retirement accounts. Saying that “everyone gets a piece in retirement” ignores a large portion of our society.
