Thanks, that's useful feedback! I agree some colour variations would be good for guiding the eye.

I partly moved from 5x5 originally to 5x6 because it looked better on mobile/portrait but then I found in play testing more letters gave people more room to manoeuvre when the orange/bonus tiles start appearing (where you want to delay using them).
Well, I'm not a poetry buff either, but my superficial understanding is that a haiku is characterized by humour and ambiguity, so that it would leave you contemplating multiple possible senses, perhaps each one funnier or more intriguing than the next. And perhaps there would be some tension in understanding which meaning would be most intended, as it were. "...expressing much and suggesting more in the fewest possible words." (Britannica) I think a lot of contemporary haiku express little and suggest nothing.

Nothing wrong with the page or the writing there, I'm only saying that as the word is increasingly used in a more superficial way as I think is the case here, the historical form of poetry known as haiku has no name of its own any more, which becomes a problem especially in the age of search engines where present usage is all that matters.

My being grouchy plays a big part here too.
Microsoft Research is also working on Verona, which seems closer to Rust than this language, to me anyway.

Evernote + a Markdown Editor + Weblog Post Publisher

There's Marxico that does the first two, but it's paid. On top of Evernote, you'd have to pay $16 a year just to be able to write in markdown.

It'd be nice to be able to jot down your thoughts in the editor, sync it with an Evernote notebook - specifically selected for weblog posts - and see your post appear on your blog.
I'm primarily an iOS developer and wanted to start learning web development so I built two really simple sites:

http://pointillism.digitalbunker.dev/: I've always been into generative art, so I built this site that takes a source image and recreates it in a Pointillism style

http://gitrandom.digitalbunker.dev/ : Generally when I'm struggling to come up with project ideas, I'll just browse GitHub. This site lets you explore random GitHub projects by language and topic.

I built the sites using Vapor, so I could continue to use Swift and just learn one new thing at a time.

I'm probably going to pick up some iOS app too to leverage the new hobbies people are discovering being at home (i.e. bread making).
+1.

There's a bias on HN to compare working-from-home with the commuter experience _in the Bay Area_, and conclude working from home is better. For many of us in places like New York, living in the city and going to the office is much more preferable lifestyle than working from home in a random place.
Ask HN: What percentage of your company is remote?
I'm wondering:

a) what percent was remote prior to lockdown?
b) current percentage remote?
c) prediction for post-lockdown?

Basically, past/current/future.
Since you have a signal processing background... what would be super cool is if there was a tool that could analyze all the chords in a song file (e.g., mp3) and magically create a Rocksmith/Guitar Hero style "racetrack" for practicing. DLC can get expensive quite fast, and songs you want to play may not always be available without modding/hacks/cracks, etc.
> I don't think I've ever thought about anything more depressing than a group of people who want less free time in their day.

I think you're the only one who is thinking that way. I'm a software developer who prefers to work in a office, not because I get less free time, but because me and my colleagues are more productive when we share the same physical space while working. On the other hand, I completely get that some people are more productive working remotely, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Neither ways are 100% perfect for everyone, nor will they never be.

When considering others perspective, try to do it favorably, otherwise you're never gonna understand the other side.

it's the low intelligence of the parents

I'm no longer convinced that this is about intelligence.

It's easy to dismiss dissenting thinkers as "dumb hicks" or whatever epithet is trendy at the moment. But looking at a lot of the people who are promoting these theories on social media, few of them qualify as "low intelligence." In my observation, they tend to be celebrities, college-educated yoga moms, and even some high-profile tech types.

I work with low-education people. My department works with thousands of adults with an average fifth-grade education. In my experience, these people are more likely to follow the health advice of their local government authority than any crackpot conspiracy theory that floats through the internet.

Is that not exactly what the OP said?

You cannot in one breath be performatively outraged at someone's opinion and then immediately agree with it.
My commute is also my morning and evening cardio routine as a bike 5 miles each way. I've been really missing the every day bike rides this year.
It's not. Oppressors typically implies privileged, but the reverse is not true. I am not an oppressor because I am able bodied.

Also, you wouldn't use the word privileged to talk about regimes in places with oppressive governments. You'd use the word oppressive.
I both agree and disagree with this.

I am thankful that there is a "meritocratic" way of getting into these top companies. But I don't agree grinding leetcode is the way to measure such merit. I definitely don't agree that it's "just a few (or even a few dozen) hours" to prepare or that it's a low bar.

That said, I've come to terms with leetcode and coding interviews in general. If I ran a company or if I was a hiring manager with clout, I'd never hire people in such a way. But that's the current state of the game, and short of becoming the 99% shareholder of Google overnight, there is nothing I nor most people can do to change a thing. So might as well play the game and try to win it, instead of just whining about it.

The irony is, I enjoy solving leetcode problems now. It's actually become my hobby - since all my free time outside of family is consumed by studying for interviews. But I don't enjoy whiteboarding hyperoptimal leetcode solutions under 45-minute interview pressure.
It will be.

Mind you, Kubernetes was originally made written at Google by engineers that previously worked on Borg. So they will naturally design it to address problems with Borg. Kubernetes’s original project code name was “Seven of Nine”, because Seven of Nine is a friendlier Borg.
I hope this does not change the usability of large numbers of tabs in Chrome, which are still completely usable when they shrink down to Favicon size.

In contrast to Safari, which never shrinks tabs below ~1 inch and instead changes the tab bar to an awful horizontal scrolling/carousel view.

Safari tabs are completely unusable past around 15 tabs when it starts hiding and resizing the tabs on the edges. It's the main thing preventing me from switching from Chrome to Safari.

People with kids often have different priorities. Having a slam dunk, distraction free, high productivity work day tends to be lower on the priority list. Spending time with your partner, taking care of the kids, cooking and eating dinner with the family; these all tend to be higher on the priority list.

There are exceptions. Some people don’t respond well to the stresses of family life and want to escape to the office. Hopefully these people decide not to have children in the first place.
> They probably live really close to the office and the commute isn’t an issue.

I spend about 1 hour going to work every day, and I do that because I want to work with those people, in that office. I could work remote, but we're (in the team) all more productive and have more fun when we share the same physical space, so we meet up in the office everyday to work together.
The lesson here:

Building a business off someone else’s platform is easier because it provides a built-in distribution channel.

However, when you don’t own your distribution, it means your business can be shut down by the decision of one person at X company.

It turns out, all decisions have trade-offs.

If you want to have a real business, don’t do the above, or only do the above while getting started.

Developers hate having to deal with distribution. Platforms exploit this by creating these fantasy worlds where developers don’t have to think about it.

This is a mirage. You have not created an “easier” business. You’ve simply sold your soul to the devil.
On the flip side, you could view it as giving publicity to people with ideas that weren't worth spreading in the first place. After all, you hadn't heard of it before this article was posted here; I'm sure it'll be new to many others as well, so actually the publicity will help them. An alternative would be not covering it at all.

As it turns out, not every item in the marketplace of ideas has the same value.
1) Because you just submitted the SAME link 5 times in 2 days. That is spam.

2) Because you just copied and pasted the SAME message in a TOTALLY UNRELATED discussion. That is spam.

3) NOT because you're Russian. I have no idea where you're from, and I don't care.

4) Because you're a relentless spammer who think's he's entitled to submitting the same uninteresting link 5 times in 2 days. That is not "periodic attention to the project". That is SPAMMING. That IS overkill. That IS spamming. STOP it. NO MORE REPEATS.
How many times has that happened to military drones? I'd be more worried about an armed stealth jet than a cargo plane full of rubber dog $ out of Hong Kong
I've worked remote for a long time and agree with what you said. The company culture really needs to be focused on remote work for it to succeed. Remote first is far better than remote allowed.
I am not confident on malls being a viable business on the coming years, but I am glad some corporations still believe in them since they generate tons of jobs.
If a company want to hire remote workers, why do that in US or Europe?
It's a pretty lazy assumption to assume that assumption.
Why not set the bar higher for oneself?
I don't live in the bay area (I'm not even American), and I actually don't reduce anything down to such ridiculous simplicity, but hey you do you.

I accept that I don't fully understand complex issues, and I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that most people are good and not out to screw each other over.

But that's me.

I am working on a novel. It is the third novel/story I have started since 2016. I will probably abandon it before completion but I am practicing and improving my writing. Eventually I hope be able to write a complete novel. I haven't had anyone review the writing as I am still at the point where self diagnosis and correction is fairly obvious (I make a LOT of mistakes). There is plenty of good writing advice and exercises on the Internet; my writing problems are extremely typical for new writers.

Like my early software, I expect that my current novel will eventually collapse under the weight of inherent lousiness. I will then start again and do better.

A guide to cleaning data (with a checklist)
I've seen/heard different numbers from elsewhere:

20% want to work from home permanently

20% want to get back to the office full time

60% want flexibility somewhere in between

Personally, I think the specific breakdown is less important than companies realizing that letting people be remote can improve work/life balance, reduces office space needs, and they have most of the infrastructure to support it.

As an industry, we still need to figure out mentorship and career development for remote/partially-remote teams, but I'm optimistic on that front.
You almost got my point, so I'll be a little more specific just for you.

> If you want to see whether hydration is correlated with cholera, you might randomly select 30 people and measure how much water they collect every day for 30 days, and plot that against whether they develop cholera. Note: you aren't collecting any data in this experiment about where these people get their water.

Your experiment is fatally flawed, due to the error described in your note. You would find cholera to be strongly associated with baseline hydration status--but that relationship is not causal, so your results would be misleading. An experiment not subject to this flaw would collect data about where people got their water, and control for that statistically.

Identifying confounding factors is a fundamental part of experimental design, because association alone is poor evidence of causation.

This - I've lived both, intensely, and don't wish the mental effects of the Valhalla people seem to think remote work is on anyone.

If you've got a family, home, and you've hit the upper limits of your desired career development, I get it. But, you gotta think about how it would affect the career for someone coming into your workplace as a college grad.

I think the issue here is that there's a sole developer working on the whole app with the difficult choice of choosing where to start. I think that creating a design that covers most test cases of the app would then let you start from either section of the app.

“Solving things like "eye contact" or the equivalent could be done.“

Your argument make sense if only high paying companies do leetcode interviews.

I think a lot of small and mid size companies are cargo culting on it too.
But the clear-cut cases aren't actually the problem. You don't need to censor things that are so obviously stupid. The bottle of Lysol says things like "Hazard to Humans and Domestic Animals" and "call a poison control center" etc.

To the point that it's incredible that the few people who actually do it are even telling the truth about why, instead of being cases of insane parents looking for a cover story when they want to murder their kids, or Munchausen by proxy or something like that.

Meanwhile the same principle gets you absolutely nothing in all of the non-obvious cases, because when the answer is non-obvious (and therefore much more problematic if wrong) then Facebook doesn't have it either.
No, and neither did Nazi Germany. What the GP said was "Honestly, the history of the 20th century should be the closed book final assessment on why it's permanently a bad idea for governments to collect files on people." This is a much wider claim than "Subway shouldn't collect information on its customers on behalf of the government."

BTW most people already have a centrally tracked record of every store they've been in, their credit card records, which the government can subpoena.

The land values are legit. That they cannot be amortized across many occupants is not.
Anecdotally, it surprises me how many people are still buying homes during the pandemic.

Region-wide, prices fell 2.9% in the Bay Area in 2019; it "feels like" prices merely held relatively steady, and the selling prices I'm seeing the past month or so are on track with that.
The cultural amenities of cities are in serious jeopardy, generally. Many of the restaurants, clubs, theaters, museums, bars, etc that make the city a desirable place may never reopen.
>It would probably help the discussion if you didn't straw-man the people who don't want to work from home and dismiss their perspectives out of hand.

Wasn't doing that at all. People who want to go to the office and don't have an hourslong commute in traffic aren't the people I'm referring to. I'm referring to the people who have hourslong commutes sitting in traffic. People who are close to their jobs and want to go in, great, it's the fact that a huge percentage of the country drives to work. If you don't commute far to get to work, or perhaps don't even own a car, then I'm not talking about you.

My trusty copy of "What's Where in the Apple", which includes a catalog of where everything is in memory, says that the routine to write the VTOC from its in-memory buffer to disk starts at $AFF8.

The VTOC is the volume table of contents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AApple_DOS#Volume_Table_...), so calling into the middle of that presumably ends up overwriting the VTOC with junk, which would indeed make the disk useless.
