I predict many companies will have to follow the trend.

Remote companies have a significant hiring advantage. As long as the number of remote options was small, competing on talent with remote companies wasn't an issue. But things are clearly changing and non-remote companies will soon feel the pressure and unless they can pay significantly above market (like FAANG companies) they will have no choice but to allow fully remote work so they can compete.

Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft will probably not move to fully remote anytime soon (they all have amazing and very expensive campuses and some business lines that cannot move remote). However, they can pay above market rate and have offices in so many places so in a way they are already hybrid. Not to mention, like all of tech, they are much more flexible about WFH than used to be and I know a few people there who have been fully remote even before covid.
Where by "filtering out by management", you mean "ran front-page stories condemning their own coverage", as early as 2004, in the cases of both the NYT and WaPo. Just like state-run media from the Soviet Union.

You'll try, of course, to recover the irretrievably bad position of your argument comparing the NYT to Pravda by trying to get me to defend the NYT, WSJ, and WaPo's 2003 Iraq coverage. But of course, I don't have to do that. My case is not that journalism is faultless; it's called the "first draft" of history for a reason. Rather, the burden is on you to support the extraordinary claim that the NYT, WSJ, and WaPo are effectively equivalent to state-run media, the claim you stated plainly upthread.
Calling computer programs "applications" is a neologism. Once that catches, shortening to "apps" is automatic and happens everywhere at once, somewhat the way programs became "proggies" in places.

Some of us are still cheesed at having our old, comfortable programs re-branded to dodgy new applications:

"Programs run, applications crash."

Meetings where some/most of the people are in a room and some are dialing in suck for those dialing in. We started requiring everyone to dial in, even if one person was, and it levels the communication playing field immensely.

Skinny jeans are in -> Skinny jeans are out -> repeat.

Listening to designers try to justify why neumorphic is better than skeumorphic is better than oldmorphic is better than someothermorphic is like listening to teenagers try to justify why whatever jean leg style is currently "in" is fundamentally and absolutely better than whatever jean leg style their parents wore. It's just fashion, nothing more, nothing less, and certainly no more a revolution in UX than a 10% increase or decrease in the amount of fabric in the legs of a pair of jeans.

You could give https://asepsis.binaryage.com a shot—it's unmaintained and unsupported since El Cap, but it apparently still worked on El Cap if you turned SIP off. Maybe it still works.
> the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken.

I'm looking for a genuine honest answer here, this really isn't rhetorical. Every second thread regarding Apple seems to have top comments complaining about the quality of what Apple has become. The first I recall was the butterfly keyboard fiasco, then some others, then El Capitan and Big Sur bugs, then this.

Again, I really want to understand this: why the continued loyalty?
I disagree.

Never has it been easier to find existing code, download it and snap it into your project. Npm, nuget, etc, etc.

Also, on the front end there are no shortage of plug and play widget libraries.

Sometimes we need to take a step back and appreciate how things have improved over the years.
Another +1 for Rimworld. I picked it up after a particularly long stretch of playing DF, and it has managed to both satisfy that DF itch while providing plenty of its own unique Fun.

DF is certainly deeper, but Rimworld is much more approachable to the average player. I would argue that Rimworld is also significantly more moddable than DF is. While with DF you can change the raws, Rimworld allows modifying some of the base game code, so you can do way more with Rimworld mods.
Interesting reference, thanks. I’m surprised there are so many site-unique IPs. Fingerprinting is less compelling in the case of blocking (I think?) but is certainly still a privacy problem.

Ultimately, all security is about raising the cost for attackers, and I think it’s a good thing that DOH will make middleboxes more expensive and less accurate. It would be a mistake to pitch it as being even close to a perfect solution to any problem, though.
Mud slinging is usually at the other candidate, not entire races.
At least Twitter is mostly public. That allows stupid stuff to be opposed, and harmful things to be reported.

With Facebook, and especially Groups, people are fully immersed in their self-selected filter bubble, and admins can run their colloidal-silver-scams without interference.
Hey, Adam here (OP)!

Thanks!

I built the blog over a weekend using Gatsby. It's super neat!
Gatsby is pretty flexible, I'm even able to make things like filters and queries, add tags. SEO is super easy, and their image processing is top notch. Highly recommend it.

I connected it to Netlify so that it auto-updates every time I make a git commit. If you're not familiar with the term Jamstack, you should explore it. There's so much cool stuff being done these days with static websites.

I agree. We always overthink things we don't fully understand.
> If I tell my mom to look up something on Wiktionary, I don't tell her it's the same group as Wikimedia, I tell her it's part of Wikipedia...

Why say either? Not only is it untrue and misleading, but it is entirely pointless, far as I can tell. Does anyone except a certain type of contributor, or staff, care that Wikimedia is an organization?

Conversely, is anyone going to pay enough attention to understand the subtleties of "Wikipedia Encyclopedia" where "Wikipedia Dictionary" is somehow not part of an encyclopedia?
Explain that to the Obama adminstration, which ran a program called Operation Choke Point, that lumped firearms in with multi-level marketing and payday loans as "high risk" transactions and repeatedly issued informal - sometimes just verbal - guidelines to banks to not handle such transactions.

It used to bother me, but not anymore. I always put it in my .gitignore files, and otherwise ignore it. You could alias “ls” to not show it.
Interestingly, the law in Germany is far weaker than in the US, or at least it was before Citizen United.

There are no limits on donations, for example. Anything below €10,000 does not even have to be reported. And reporting only happens once per year.
Yep, I’m assuming that will happen eventually.
If you can't find another contractor to maintain things later on because you locked into an unpopular language, it'll feel pretty silly.
I only use Safari and I’ve actually been on realtor.com a ton the past few days. I just punched in realty.com and it directed me to realtor.com. If I do http://realty.com it takes me to the correct site.
Typing this from Ubuntu, Gnome 3 I think, in Firefox, I press Ctrl-S to save the page, and I get a modal dialog, which cannot be even moved. Sometimes, it actually obscures something that I cannot read on the screen.

If you have to use a modal element at least allow me to get it out of the way so that I can read the text under it!
You can. Buy or solder a SuzyQable[1] to unlock the firmware, flash MrChromebox's coreboot build[2], and install linux on it. I'm typing this message right now on my pixelbook running Arch Linux. So far the only problems I have with it is the audio does not work and I can't change screen brightness. The screen brightness is because linux refuses to use DPCD when the PWM line is connected. On the pixelbook the PWM line is connected but doesn't do anything. There are kernel patches you can apply to force DPCD but personally I'm just hoping someone eventually commits a fix upstream to let us toggle it.

> Bitcoin has really settled down in terms of price swings over the last year. It did have a major covid crash, but aside from that it's been very stable for the past year.

lol what? It went from $7000 to $10500 to $4000 to $10400... Blame it on covid if you want but the whole year has been this violent zigzag
I’m a long time Apple user (and professional Android developer/user up until about 3 years ago). My answer is that I use Apple mobile products because they seem to still be better than all alternatives.

That said, I haven’t looked earnestly at Android phones for about 3 years. I also use an iPad as my primary computer for everything when I’m not on the clock, and I’m fairly confident there’s not much competition in the high-end tablet market.
We homeschool our 5 kids but sometimes I think we shouldnt. Something I tell my wife, kids, parents, well wishers, hecklers and friends is that parents get both too much and too little credit for how their kids turn out.

Stay involved. That's what homeschooling (done well) forces you to do. Ask questions, allow failures, try (you WILL fail) to practice detachment, and understand that you do not.
It's a good move if you think you can do things better alone than with your team. And that includes sales/marketing, design, testing, finances, legal & contracts. It's good if you feel there's a lot of inefficiencies and busywork in the office, like commuting or meetings.

It's good if you feel you're underpaid, like if you're the only one building a 3 million dollar app and handling customer service and they pay you $2000/week with few benefits. Your salary as a freelancer will be roughly equal to the amount of wealth you create, minus some economies of scale.

It helps to outsource some of these things at first - get a lawyer, team up with a designer, work with a group like Toptal to help you do marketing. But the easier path is also more competitive, and you can get ahead quite a bit by learning to market yourself.
I don't use macOS and even I cannot get away from them. Someone zips a folder and send it to me and when I unzip it, there would be a .DS_Store inside.
Not that I endorse the “equally dangerous” comment, but if you're interested in configuration management with a language based around a powerful static type system, may I note the existence of Propellor? https://propellor.branchable.com/
Well it's pretty simple. The Finder allows you to customize a folder (icon positions, background picture) and that data has to be stored somewhere.

You can tell the OS not to create them on network mounted drives:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
From my understanding, Tarn first and foremost focuses on making the game fun (and Fun) rather than making the code well-organized and clean; I seem to recall some interview or maybe forum post where he made that clear.

In practice that likely means that the code is not all that well organized and planned out. Doubly so if he and his brother have been the only ones who have touched it -- there's a lack of outside influence that would drive one to clean up their code. I of course have not seen any of the source code for DF, so I this is purely my own hypothesis.
> If you have the magical secret to impulse control, please share with the rest of us. Otherwise get off your high horse and shut up.

Parent comment never claimed to have this. Parent comment, and I, will retain the right to criticize overpriced products like this.

I would like proof that $$$ products like this are more effective at getting people to write than, say, creating a consistent routine, working out, dedicating a space/time just for writing, etc.

If we're just going to use anecdata, the most consistent advice I've seen from prolific authors is to "write something, even a little, every day, and read a lot". If you have lack of impulse control, then you need to sit down and reflect on why that might be the case. Maybe consult a medical professional if it's that dire. But those take work and introspection instead of just spending $$$ on a neat-looking product.

For the record, I -would- pay a lot of money for a laptop built like a thinkpad x201/x220, that had a good keyboard and an e-ink display! ...not for notifications, but I find e-ink displays significantly help me with eye strain.
For whatever it's worth, the problem with the cannabis industry is that they are still committing federal crimes, there is a legitimate reason for banks to shy away from cannabis manufacturers, processors, and retailers even if they would have an ordinary risk profile under other circumstances.

The federal government does not enforce the law sufficiently to motivate its repeal, so we are stuck in limbo, where the mass of individuals are complacent, and they externalize the costs on the suppliers and retailers.
This is not a million miles away from Kelvin's Mirror Galvanometer (yes, that Kelvin, after whom the Kelvin was named).

Yes to the first two. Quality decline has been an ongoing issue. With regards to lost sales, there are many professional genres which use software that simply won't run on Macs, architecture is one of them which also has a high crossover with designers. Many use dualboot so they can run the cad software which only runs on windows when the need to.
iOS is still miles ahead of Android and those are the only real choices. Plus the privacy thing. Plus development on Apple products is better.
> Off the top of my head I can think of a number
of other solutions to store directory metadata:
a Finder-specific database mapping values to
directory paths, resource forks (ala OS 9), etc.
I'm going to be honest: it should be deleted when seen, and OSX should have never begun this.

99% of the reason it exists is because the OS generated thumbnails. I see these in, for example, zips, that do not have images in them, and have that file.

You know what I've seen? People do `git add ` and then I find that directory in the repo. Why does git not automatically ignore that?! It's never the right option.

Anything* that pollutes directories should be absolutely verboten, its never what the user wants.

Edit: The worst part is, it makes them on network shares, and on filesystems that aren't HFS. The hell, Apple?!
DS_Store is stored alongside the files, which means it's portable with them, e.g. when you put files on a USB stick and then plug it into a machine running an earlier version of macOS 10.

None of your solutions preserve that backwards compatibility -- the database wouldn't because it presumably stays on your machine, and going back to resource forks wouldn't because the earlier OS releases wouldn't know about the existence of them.
> How am I supposed to know "offensively excessive" wasn't the intended meaning here?

I'm guessing if it were the intended meaning, "but" would be incorrect in "Republicans will not like many of these proposals, but they have been fulsome in their praise of Mr. Trump since his election"
I agree - my friends have left as well. Visits on holidays is the next best thing.
I've seen continued decline in the quality of autocorrect on the relatively new swipe-to-text keyboard, increasingly poor siri voice recognition, and have also noticed this behavior in Safari that frustrates me to no end when it happens.

I think the reason I'm still here is trust in the overall product, along with some heavily rose tinted glasses. I still use other products sometimes and almost always only find problems that would prevent me from switching. So perhaps it's also some monopolistic behavior impacting my personal behavior.
Computer SciFi Novel, Blue Screen: How Peter Gustafson Defragmented the World [pdf]
Peter Gustafson wants to save the world.
In the year 2984, Peter is an average kid with a secret; he’s a well-behaved tenth-grader by day but cryptographic entrepreneur and hacker by night. When the electricity mysteriously goes out in his hometown, Peter takes it upon himself to investigate. The adventure leads the young hacker to a large transmitting station and into a battle of wits with the greatest AI ever created. The machine requires a human to help "throw the switch" and give it full control so engineered the power outage as a test to lure its latest recruit, Peter Gustafson.

I really, truly wish HN would moderate and remove comments about a link's medium. Every single post here has at least one person complaining about the layout of the source. Every time. It's exhausting. I hate it. It contributes absolutely nothing, and I don't know if anyone's noticed, but people keep using Twitter! Gasp! If you hate Twitter so much, reach out to the tweet author and ask them to publish elsewhere. If you hate Medium, e-mail the author and ask them to switch platforms. But dear God, can we please stop complaining about it in HN comments? Either read it or don't.

Please just stop.

Even though a sensor is poor, it has better form factor, better zoom, and it's dedicated device.
Sort of? You can install without a key, and other than a little 'watermark' in the corner of the screen (and being prevented from changing the wallpaper) it will get updates and work normally.
Done: FB7793463. It sounds like you work at Apple? The screen recording is attached to the report.
The fact that the game has been seeing continuous development of relatively complex new features for this long means the code can't be too horrible. Perhaps very idiosyncratic and particular to Tarns personal preferences, but certainly not unmaintainable (this is just an assumption though).

Dandelion is running now
0400? No thanks. I usually naturally wake up sometime between 0800 and 0830. I have a 0900 alarm just in case I’m sleeping heavy. I throw on pants, take my dog out into the backyard, and scroll through what came in on Slack overnight while she runs around. I’ll mark a few threads that might require my input, do about 10 or 15 minutes of mobility work on the grass and then head in and feed the dog.

I get online around 0930 or 1000. So that 2 hours wandering around the backyard and casually browsing Slack is my slow, relaxing way to start the day. I put zero pressure on myself to do anything before 0930

I take lunch around 1300. I watch TV while I eat. Usually something recorded the night before (I love The Titan Games and Ultimate Tag. easy to just “watch” w/o too much thought).

Work from 1400 till around 1830 or 1900. Now during this time, I’ll take the dog out for a few quick potty breaks and do some more stretching mobility each time I’m out.

Do my weight lifting, take the dog for a long walk, eat dinner, and then read some articles I’ve been meaning to read, read a technical book, read fiction, or just plop down on the couch and watch TV.

Long story long - I don’t try to schedule relaxing time. I fit it in throughout the day. Somedays I have more than others. It all balances out. I think if you go about your day trying to schedule every second, you’re just putting undue stress on yourself. And even in your scheduled relaxation time, you’re not really. That’s just my 2 cents...
You forgot about porting and compiling software which depended on X11 and Motif. Linux won because of that.

Small tidbit, I'm guessing it might more likely be the case that Julia is inspired by Fortran, and Fortran inspired matlab, not the other way around.

That said, as someone who used python (got my phd just a few years ago so I'm younger) while the rest of my cohort used matlab because their professors used it, I am happy now that I never have to worry about licensing or running things on my own PC, and yes, it's an actual programming language and an actual platform for development so, it's definitely easier for me now that I'm actually working. Also, thankfully scipy gives me a .mat reader so I still can send and receive data from colleagues.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve tried Google Pixel products for Android phone + tablet. They’re expensive, but they are the best. I use both Android and iOS devices regularly everyday. I wouldn’t waste my time on anything but Google products for Android.

It’s also the only fair comparison of Android to iOS: when using Pixel, the OS & hardware are dictated by Google just like Apple does with the OS & hardware for its phones.

I have good & bad to say about each, but pointless to share them. My peeves are nnot yours and vice-versa.

How about a reminder to not work where you do?

Unless you’re running the company, and you’re the only employee, your work internet usage is being monitored and logged at some level. Believing otherwise is giving your employer a very generous benefit of the doubt, let’s say, but still probably naive. It’s worth understanding why all companies might be required by law to monitor, or short of that, be incentivized to monitor employee internet usage:
