What's your commute like? The common thread I'm finding in the people that don't mind their commute is generally that... their commute isn't terrible.

Mine's 45m-1h to work, and 1h-2h home in a city with notoriously awful traffic design and flow. It's basically just 5 miles of gridlock. In the heavy urban traffic I find it actually _adds_ a lot of stress to my day--it definitely feels like a mad max style survival adventure more than anything.

I used to commute 45 minutes each way on a nice dual line divided highway with very light traffic. Barring the odd blizzard, I found it like you describe... A great chance to let my mind switch states between home/work. And it was nice to have an hour and a half every day where I _couldn't_ beat up on myself for not being productive and could actually just truly sit and enjoy listening to a podcast or something.
In the context of advertising, I read "57M" as $57,000. They would normally write 57MM if they meant $57 million, wouldn't they?

Good quote from @balajis: "Crypto is what comes after Silicon Valley." Defi is the new frontier, which HN and the Silicon Valley mainstream are completely missing out on it.
Keep upping the wackiness until the other person is the one trying to talk you down, then nourish the arrow of scepticism and reason.
what's extra horrible is solitary is used for 'protection' and mental health. e.g. if you report fear for your life (common in US prisons if you don't want to play the gang game) they throw you into the SHU. It's barbaric as punishment, disgusting for supposed health reasons
I wonder how long before the union demand google to change certain practices, company directions or else.
I'm very pro-labor/pro-worker, whatever you want to call it, and I'd be all about using a different term than union. It's a loaded term that has all sorts of negative connotation. New decade, new world of tech, new term for collectivized labor. I will admit, the police union problem is a hard counter. It's a solvable problem though, I think.

Maybe we should bring "guild" back into fashion.

"There is no way for us to defend ourselves: even skilled technologists who administer their own networked services are no match for the bandits. To keep bandits out, you have to be perfect and perfectly vigilant, and never make a single mistake. For the bandits to get you, they need merely find a single mistake that you’ve made."

Ooof. What a boot-to-the-face reminder. Despite my use of a Tor Router, three ubikeys and Google authenticator, password manager, non-GSM voice (GoogleVoice), and several hard tokens from various financial institutions, I still have no idea if I'm doing enough because I don't control any of my three OSes, including Ubuntu 18.04 (we almost missed elliptic key backdoor in OpenSSL, what else is in there?).

I would argue that email is not suitable for asynchronous long-form threadful discussions. The limitation that email has is that if you're not part of that conversation from the beginning, you'll have to piece it together from previous quoted material.

I never had a LinkedIn profile or similar. Might give this one a try, actually. I like the no bullshit approach. Lots of the sites and platforms we use try to be and do a hundred things at once. It's overwhelming sometimes, and exhausting most of the time.
Let's imagine that I had to make a website that could host a million concurrent users once per year. What do you think is cheaper, me acquiring all of the hardware to scale to a million users and then leaving it idle 99.9% of the time, or outsource handling that peak traffic to someone who's already operating at the scale for it?

The UK government does not remotely need the same year-round capacity as a top-tier CDN.
Why would anyone join the union then? Save on the dues, and still reap the benefits.
It is funny when I think of the hundreds of thousands of lines of code I have shipped in my long career (all embedded) and how little of it ever had to handle a string.

I agree, C is a really poor choice for string or other human readable content handling.

But if you have to read-shift-mask-write bytes to hardware control registers, it is a pretty easy language to use, and faster than assembly language in 90% of the cases, with modern compilers. That last note was less true in the mid 1980s, but by the mid-1990s, compiler optimization had gotten to be quite good.

Cellular modem code that runs on DSPs is written in C. Maybe someday that will be written in Rust. We'll see.

Love and Hate in the Mouse Brain
Why I Stopped Reading Coronavirus News
Mentorship programs exist at most major companies, and new software engineers are not allowed to commit code willy-nilly - They pass code review, and less senior members of a team typically have more careful code review applied to their commits than more senior ones.

Mentorship programs that bypass the degree requirement are less common, but I made it through without a degree. I would love to see more of them, and more companies willing to help with work-study, but the challenges of that approach are real and may not have an easy solution.

Its funny to see someone argue for less control over their workplace because they're used to being handed take-it-or-leave it contracts because they've never had any power in the workplace other than to leave.

The feeling you're describing is called negotiation power. What if you and your coworkers like your job but are getting slavedriven for 80 hours a week and that just doesn't work out for you? Right now you have the following options: 1. Leave.

If you had a union you could: 1. Leave. 2. Decide to stop working along with other coworkers who are also pissed off until they agree to stop slavedriving you. 3. Decide to stop working along with other coworkers who are also pissed off until they agree to pay you more for being slavedriven.

I like the latter myself. Having people who care about an enterprise means you don't end up getting run entirely by a bunch of MBAs who listen to complaints while watching a spreadsheet of average tenure.
Italian digital team has a similar website. https://designers.italia.it/

But I believe believe most Italian agencies or local governments (around 22,000) don't follow those guidelines yet.

"all this stuff is outsourced to consultancy firms that deliver unresponsive, buggy sites for absurdly high prices." it's a good description for MOST (not all) Italian Government web presence.
The repeated theme in the interview is that he tells students, "Think for yourself, and read this thing about X", and then students complain that he endorses X. There's a short circuit in the reasoning apparatus.

When I think about Things You Can't Say (http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html), they pretty much all involve this kind of short circuit. My glib theory for why this is so: they are all based on scissor statements (https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/) which have cost cultures untold years of debate, and been at some point declared resolved. The culture's version of creating an antibody is to teach children the resolution and forbid any further discussion of the statement, basically institutionalizing the sort of propaganda Miller teaches about.

i've dabbled in OBS' code and actually this should be possible. you might need to modify the "Media Source" element to add the GUI controls for FTL-specific stuff, but all the protocol support seems to already be in there and the actual media transport is RTP, which is already supported because the Media Source supports RTMP streams.

you'd have each of your different origins stream to their own private FTL paths, then in your OBS you'd create media sources from each of those paths then push your final, mixed stream to the public FTL path.
I think in context that could be read as "shitty for the purpose of also being an office", not a general disparagement of their living situation in general.
1.The main reason land armies are no longer relevant to superpower conflicts is due to the nuclear peace. This is hopefully a long term situation but if the genie of normalizing nuclear weapons use comes out of the bottle, or if a method of using nukes that are "optimized" for manageable long term damage is developed, I can nearly guarantee you that large powers will again start having conflicts more often. If this happens, big armies will definitely become important again. Smart warfare, drones, guided weapons and all sorts of shiny systems for technologically sophisticated killing are fine as far as they go (especially for small localized police actions) but only large military forces and equipment ultimately allow any one major country to seriously fight another major country.

2. Also, as a quick note to the comment above yours, China is an economic and possibly to some extent resource threat to Russia, but the obvious target of simply overtaking a huge chunk of Russian territory through Siberia (which in purely conventional military terms I think China could easily pull off) wouldn't happen, because Russia despite all its modern systemic weaknesses, crumbling demographics and terrible military administration still has the single largest nuclear arsenal on Earth, which takes us back to point one above.

3. China is a strong power with a vast population that dwarfs that of the U.S and an economy that's getting very close to rivalling it in both sophistication and raw wealth production, but it's also strangely isolated in its power. The U.S on the other hand has strong affinities with much of western and central Europe, several other asian nations with large populations and also a much better relationship with the second most populous country on Earth, right next door to China. Russia would never readily take China's side in a global conflict even if it dislikes the western hegemony and all of these things combined along with others leave china in a state of extreme vulnerability if we were to start talking about a real, serious multinational conflict between it and the U.S.

China's biggest strength is the economic dependence it has created in so much of the world, especially for manufacturing, but if a war were to break out between it and the west, this would in any case become a moot point, removing the one major incentive that any other country not directly next to it would have for trying to stay on China's good side.

Why is it bad to be forced to contribute to union dues involuntarily, but OK to be forced to contribute to shareholder profits involuntarily (as all employees are in for-profit enterprises)?
Why should the buyers of labor be forced to compete amongst each other but not the sellers of labor? In order to truly even the playing field, Facebook, google, apple, and the rest should unionize together to effectively negotiate with labor.
Pardon my ignorance but what tools/frameworks are used to design these kind of pages? It's very pleasing to the eyes

I haven't worked in the adtech space in years, but third party counts were a thing from the advertiser side for basically this reason. Nobody trusted the network to say "yep, we showed your ad this many times, pay up."

I'm not sure how fraud detection works there, though. Maybe there's third party counting that includes third party fraud checks? Back then, at least, the incentive to spot fraud wasn't high - advertisers didn't want to admit to their stakeholders that they were wasting their money any more than the adtech network wanted to admit it to the advertiser.

Your scenario is also interesting from the publisher side - especially on non-web properties where a musician doesn't even have the ability to embed their own JS in their song to collect their own counts or use someone else's playcount counting library...

I don't see any talk of removing US dollar as a reserve currency.

The only reason China is so export oriented is because they need to earn dollars to buy oil. If they didn't need to buy oil in dollars, they would reorient their factories to sell their manufactured goods domestically, giving everyone a high standard of living. Instead, they are making more and more goods for our fat American consumption just to earn more and more dollars.

Sure, removing dollar as a reserve currency will make all of us poorer by global standards but we won't need to import manufactured goods from China any longer.

Tech already uses seniority as a factor much more than they want to admit. I resent it too, but don't act like it's not already basically the de facto standard.

As far as pay goes, the ubiquity of software engineering roles is already causing a down pressure on salaries. In the next decade it's only going to get worse. We might as well get ahead of the curve and use our current leverage to put us in a better position when it inevitably arrives at our door.
Why don't unions compete with each other? They should be forcefully broken up by the DOJ if they are not competing with each other, just as Standard Oil and AT&T were.
Why is this being downvoting? For years the media was representing the gender wage gap as being a man and women in the same job with all attributes other than gender being equal (even Obama said this during a state of the union). That clearly isn't what the BLS study says (difference in occupations drive the wage gap on an aggregate level).

Its not. In a previous job I used to run fantasy sports games and one football World Cup we saw a spike sharper and faster than the one described on GOV.UK today due to two successive goals from a top player just as the half time whistle went. GA handled that spike just fine but if it wasn't for Akamai our site would have been toast.

I'm not taking anything away from the engineers behind GOV.UK though. They do an excellent job.
Have you considered that these measures are _temporary_? If people shared the same ideas about sacrifice, the United States would've never prevailed in WWII. Personally, it seems like objections to basic preventive measures, such as wearing a mask, are more rooted in ego and entitlement. And that is often coupled with spurious ideas about government overreach (which, while sometimes valid, isn't exactly a cogent argument in the United States, where shared ideals on liberty and limited government are so deeply ingrained).
This is just plain sexy.
Time to RIIR? (... Sorry, I couldn’t resist)
That's likely especially now that Firefox launched a mode that will redirect all HTTP links to HTTPS, only optionally failing back if it didn't work.
If existing companies utilize cloud providers and CDNs rather than investing in their own in-house infra, doesn’t that signal to you that perhaps your analysis of the situation is flawed?

It’s possible the government is a big enough customer that they could get the necessary economy of scale to make it cost effective, but it also means that they’re going to need to develop a bespoke solution that all government services build on which itself is an expensive endeavor (and politically a liability since such a project can fail to deliver and just balloon in cost).

Windows & Linux probably aren't the answer to the trillion-dollar juggernaut that is Apple.

OSS has drawn the talent, and there's a lot of talent building enterprise applications, most of which are the bricks in the wall of mega-tech as they re-write our rights.

Macs are great if you want access to the financial funnel that is the app stores now. That probably defines the echo chamber of silence that exists on this subject.

Millionaires screwing the public out of beaches in spite of laws: Hawaii, meet California.
I was working on an ecommerce site once and we got emails when customers left reviews/feedback. I forwarded them to customers because it was a convenient way to show their comments then follow up.

Then I noticed that some of the text was wrapped in a tokenised link to the platform managing our reviews, bypassing the login screen. Support said they could not revoke these tokens. We had to close the entire account and migrate everything.
In larger companies management, HR and compensation are all separate teams, and a decent manager will be negotiating "with" you and "against" the other two to get your salary match.
I only have one opinion on the current trends of Ether and Bitcoin: Bitcoin is uncorrelated to the rest of the market so if there must be a bubble then a BTC bubble will have less impact on the rest of the economy than a housing or stock bubble.
