Children probably. Don't get me wrong, I love being home and spending time with the family more, it's really the best part of this experience for me.

But there's no way I'd be able to be as productive as expected under normal circumstances. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours in.
The sample size is smaller, but the older age ranges actually have a higher percentage of wanting to work from home permanently.
to be clear, this was not a case of buying something with a lifetime guarantee, this was a monthly subscription, and a promise that you'd be grandfathered into the old rate indefinitely.

it's kinda shitty of them to cancel it, but not like the situations where people have tried to buy "lifetime" subscriptions to some SaaS product by paying a large up-front cost, and then having it cancelled.

It's essentially a private court, where the parties ask a third party to quickly and cheaply settle a disagreement.

When used responsibly, it's great.

It's bad when a corporation requires arbitration (at the arbiter they choose -- which is a conflict of interest) and bans using the public government court system, as part of the terms of service of the product.

It's a contractual clause that forces you to go to a private court like thingy to resolve issues instead of going to a real court of law.

It's not necessarily bad but given that there's usually one party deciding which arbitration provider to use and might even pay the bills and since those providers are a profit seeking organization at the end of the day, it's questionable if they're truly impartial. There's some research that they overwhelmingly decide for the big corp side of disputes but I'm to lazy to look it up and I'm also not sure if that's conclusive in any way (maybe the corp's position really is better?)
Likely one of the reasons Japan still uses its traditional scripts is that Japan has historically maintained a relatively high literacy rate dating back to the Tokugawa shogunate[1]. There's never been much of a push factor into simplifying the script, since the educational infrastructure is in place to teach the script to the vast majority of the population. By contrast, countries like Turkey, the People's Republic of China, and Vietnam had very low literacy rates when the government started engaging in mass literacy campaigns, creating an incentive to simplify the language since most people didn't know the traditional script anyway. Obviously, in all of those cases, there were ideological reasons for replacing those scripts as well

I guess the real question is how to correctly distinguish between a commodity vs a potential lock-in. For example, if you stick EC, S3 and SES, it feels more like a commodity. However, with more services in the basket you will probably end up in a lock-in situation and your company will hardly survive if e.g. your AWS account gets suspended.
Yes, but most people don't like their job, and don't want to be productive in it. On HN, we have a lot of passionate people, but as soon as I go into the corporate world or the administrations, the feedback people give changes a lot.

The ratio is much stronger pro work-from-home in the 45-64 age ranges.

But my initial guess would be that the older survey participants were more IT affine, but it's hard to judge with the sparse details.

> Half of all Americans want to continue working from home following the coronavirus

That is a VERY rough (actually false) sentance, considering they have only surveyed ~500 Americans out of 205'950'000+ population at working age.

The 6502 has very limited pipelining, and every CPU cycle is tied to a memory access with no support for wait states or stalls. At 1 MHz it can work with really slow memory (roughly 500 ns), but at 10 MHz it needs ~60 ns, and at 20 MHz something like ~20ns. The architecture simply wasn't designed for anything above single digit clock speeds.

No wonder given that the daily commute is both mentally and physically taxing for most.

I've been working remotely since 2015 and have already decided to settle in a perhaps less attractive, but definitely cheaper neighbourhood so that I could have some office space in the house.

In the long run it's probably going to cost as much as the sum total of fuel and vehicles used over the years, but the main benefit is not having to go over this stressful routine of negotiating my place in a stream of cars.
That was excellent.
Correct, as other commenters guessed, I have not been furloughed, it's just a reduction of the pay and work time.
We still need approval from the company to get a side job, but they said that except if it's for a competitor, they would be arrangeant about that.
It would be interesting to compare Khmer script with Vietnamese.

The Khmer alphabet seems to have 33 consonant letters, 15 vowels, 16 "dependent vowels" (which look to attach like an accent to a consonant), and 12 diacritics.

Since I don't have any knowledge of either language, I don't know if this is better.

Heroku.

It just isn't good. I tried it way back and most of the time it turned into a struggle that wasted hours.

I recently went back to it, thinking that it should be good now; it isn't.

My typical environment for a site is supervisor + nginx. Nothing crazy, super simple.

For whatever reason, the heroku instance refused to take in my config (set with `heroku config` and it was showing up in the Heroku console... but my service was like "nope, not there". The keys existed on process.env but were empty).

After about an hour I said "whatever" and stood it up on nginx + supervisor in 15 minutes.
2 kids at home. I am dying to get into my office and work. The interruptions are just insane. I don't think I'll be a lot more productive in the office but I sure as hell will be a lot less stressed. Also my office is very quiet with almost zero interruptions.
OMG, i have seen it ages ago and forgot to save the url and i couldn't find it ever again. Thanks so much!!!
Why would anyone work to acquire, sell, and as a result create a competitive market for those items if they can't make any money off of it? Preventing sellers from profiting off of 'essentials' and setting prices has created some of the worst food shortages in history.
I worked at home for 9 years and then I had kids. (They are great kids but they make working at home hard.) That was enough for me to not want to work at home anymore. I then got a new job, and then covid-19 hit and I am working at home again. Argh!

This sort of thing is usually measured in percentage lost from the previous peak, or some other relative measure that corrects for the overall growth over time.
I was working from home before the virus. The difference for me now is that my other colleagues work from home too. The quality of our meetings has improved, and I feel that I'm on a more even playing field now (in term of evaluation for instance). It's great. I'm also collaborating more closely with some colleagues with whom I had little interaction before.

That being said, working from home is not for everyone. Not everybody has a good working environment. Some people get distracted, feel lonely, or are unable to maintain good work/life balance.

It really has pros and cons. What I hope at least is that it will be less taboo in the future and more employers will be open to that option.
They are - but what is the benefit of being poor in an expensive place?
I'm interested in the concept, but I think the execution needs some improvement to be comfortable. For instance, no actual online newspaper right now has internal scrollbars; there are probably reasons for this.

Online newspapers look something like print newspapers, but the most successful designs are successful at adapting the design for the particular affordances of the screen. (Granted, internal scrollbars ARE something you can't do in print, unique to the screen! They just aren't, I think, something anyone wants...)
Outside the lockdown when I want to have a social interaction, I call a friend and go to a bar, or I organise a boardgame or roleplay session. I can choose my friend but I cant choose my coworker.

How is this different from `hub`? https://github.com/github/hub

It seems to do pretty much the same things, except it works a little more separate from git itself whereas hub is designed to shim on top of git.

edit: nvm answered my own question https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/master/docs/gh-vs-hub.md . I don't know, I'm not convinced spinning out a new CLI was the right move. hub is actually really nice.
I made the same move, from Google Play Music to Spotify. Spotify's recommendations are miles better (I was discovering new music day one) , I can share songs/playlists with my friends, and things like... actually having a desktop client instead of one made by a third party are nice.

There's even smaller stuff like artists I like uploading playlists of music they like.

I do miss a lot of the uploading features GPM had, and they seem to have slightly more things then Spotify.

No ad free Youtube on chromecast kinda sucks too.

If you're talking about the U.S. that's mainly due to our reserve currency status and nothing else. And the money printing has driven certain sectors higher even in the face of low / stagnant growth. Stocks, real estate, etc being some of them.

But you gotta understand that we export a great deal of our inflation. One day those dollars will come home to roost, but until then, Germany's balance sheet looks a hell of a lot better than the U.S.'s. going into this recession. Our deficit is already $3 trillion this year and climbing rapidly, with debt levels reaching their highest in relative terms since World War 2. And we haven't even scratched the surface of this deep recession yet.
I'm anticipating that most HNers prompted to comment here will be those thinking this unlikely or wrong or whatever. Every time something positive about remote working is on HN, only those opposing it seem to comment...

So, anyway, here's my vote in favour of remote working!

I've worked from home for the last 10 years straight, and two years in the decade before that. Working from home has always been best for me.

Historically, colleagues have always been amazed I get anything done, and wondered about how teams can possibly function etc etc. Lots of people have been skeptical.

And now so many of my colleagues are working from home, and all the awful destruction hasn't happened, and in fact many people are saying they've never been more productive...

Yay to remote working, long may it continue!
==Seems like people saved enough for a year at home, on average. Today people are so levered up not only do they not have savings, they have to pay back debt.==

Odd that you don’t mention wages. Seems like middle-income wages are stagnant while housing, healthcare and education get more and more expensive. Not hard to see how that would cut into household budgets and encourage debt.
well, yes you are? This is why people measure in percentages, as opposed to absolute numbers, such as dollars of GDP.
The current situation isn't ideal. Everyone at my employer has working from home since the beginning (20 years ago, I'm at year 4 here) and it's been great, but my coworkers who all-of-a-sudden have kids at home during their workday who would normally be at school have seen a drop in their productivity.
Willingness to pay is a pretty good indicator of importance, I think. Where this falls apart is ability to pay.

But that's life. If you can't pay, you won't get what you want, no matter how important it may be. Expecting other people to cover for you is called entitlement.
"aaS" is just a funny techie term for "subscriptions".

Subscriptions and lifetime subscriptions don't play well together.
My anecdotal experience: fewer of them have children. When you have small kids, it is harder to work from home and be productive. I’ve had coworkers who only came to our shared office to get away from the distraction of working at home.

I wonder if this is related to the long commutes Americans have gotten used to. I'm not in the US, and while I would say I definitely appreciate the flexibility of being able to work from home (or from "not the office") every now and then, and I do like the present drop in meetings, I cannot fathom how people stay sane without a variety of other people around.

My productivity has definitely dropped, and it feels like my brain never really fully turns "on". It feels a lot like those times in university I decided to study for exams from home instead of going to campus. I can't explain it, but 9 out of 10 times it just feels bad, like the way your brain feels if you've spent the day watching TV or something (when, in fact, I haven't). This doesn't even begin to consider the social punctuations of work that are essential to my psychological well-being.

Does anyone feel the same? I'm a little bit worried that I just have a personality type that isn't well-suited for the remote work culture that is likely to become more prevalent after this crisis is over. I'm in my early thirties, but I've felt this way for as long as I can remember, independently of whether I was in a relationship, whether I was working or studying, etc.
I've been WFH for 4 years and my social interaction is going to lunch with friends most days and mountain biking with groups when I can. Unfortunately, that's been halted with the restrictions in my state. You can still have social interaction while working from home, it just takes more effort than being in an office everyday.
A dip in productivity is a problem for your boss, not for you. Anecdotally, I'm much more productive at home because I can take breaks whenever I want instead of getting burned out after working for 3-4 hours at an office, but knowing that I still have to stay there for 4 more hours.
IF done right, 500 can be representative. Although considering the number of jobs out there combined with age groups and gender, I guess you'd need a few thousand carefully selected participants to get valid results.
and not accounting all the stuff we have accumulated, which (at some point) has/had a lifespan of multiple recessions. But hey, just picture these hungry, ragged children - some Covid deaths are just to be accepted with thie outlook.
You should look up polling theory. You don't need to talk to every member of a population, only a representative sample.
I have ups and downs, I really enjoy programming when I can get my teeth into something I'm really passionate about, but there are other parts of the year where I fall into a "programmers block" and can't bring myself to do anything.

My fondest programming memories are those aforementioned passion projects, but they're often fleeting. What tends to happen is I go all in on something, write a blog post about it then it kind of drifts away and ultimately I drift too.

It's hard, I'm not sure how to solve it other than saying these feelings come and go - you'll find something/inspiration in the most unexpected places.

Jerry Weinberg has a chapter on burnout in one of his books [0]. He refers to the idea of 'the oxygen mask', making sure you've taken care of yourself so you have resources from which to give. He talks about how having a long list of 'shoulds' can wear you down, and how competence can lead to collecting more responsibilities than you can manage.

He then places burnout at the foreign element stage of the Satir Change Model (see, e.g. [1]): Old status quo - foreign element - chaos - transforming idea - practice - New status quo... with the intent of using your present discomfort to evaluate changes you might want or need to make. If the idea seems helpful, have a look.

My take is the old are having children and / or wife. Usually they are asked to do chores and cannot perform.

Additionally, 25-34 age range tend to play with internet and games, as opposed to the older ones who go outside more.
If companies wouldn't have to afford expensive offices, there would be more affordable space available for residential. Provided there are suitable rent regulations.
Make sure you account for the value of time saved. Time is precious and there's never enough, if I can find a way to add 40 more minutes to my day I'm going to value that immensely.

I don’t necessarily want to WFH permanently, but i do treasure the large reduction in my commute that happened in 2010 for me. I would be hard pressed to go back to the days where i was losing almost 3 hours a day in a car.
For many/most people working from home is something new that is "forced" on them. I have been working from home (or on the road/'wherever I may roam')(wander)(wander) 80-90% of my time and I really enjoy it.

For people who just started WFH they may combine WFH with virus, kids screaming, lockdown, isolation, etc.

Circumstances are not BAU right now, for 99.9% of us. Once this blows over, and the infrastructure remains in place, and business start making their typical revenue, it will be interesting to run the same survey and compare it with 12 months ago.
