Thanks for mentioning this point. We are living in an exceptionally constraining time, and while it does give some insights about what is possible it also allows us to ignore much about what we already know about the dynamics of working from office vs. remote work.

The decisions to become fully remote, or to go back to working from office with hybrid options will be made at a high level within companies - and which is better for the company is really the question. I speculate most go hybrid and it will just be time until there is a quorum of work from office people.

Before the pandemic, many people who could have and perhaps even wanted to work from home didn't because that would mean they are missing something at work. Imagine scenarios where people who are working in office are having a virtual conference with a remote employee, then when the call is hung up they don't stop talking or working on the problem. Decisions or tweaks are made in office after the official meeting and remote workers have less say unless they have a hell of a backbone.

One of our better developers committed suicide over the summer. He told me days earlier that work from home was not for him and that he missed going out after work. We planned an outdoor outing for the next week but he was gone by then. One time when I went into office over the summer another co-worker was there, in tears, and said "I'm not a homebody". Personally, I'm handling it a little better and didn't realize how bad it is for some, but even I'd surely quit if I'm not allowed to go into office if this ends. I'll solve my problem with working from home by getting a different job. How many employees will companies lose if they go fully remote over having a hybrid option?

My guess is that remote only companies and work from office only companies will lose more headcount than hybrid; therefore, hybrid is likely the goto. A bunch of workers working in office have a competitive advantage over remote workers; therefor, you go to work to compete. End result is a hybrid model that leans heavily towards work from office.

I'm a 99% of success is showing up kind of person and I really liked it when I worked 9-6pm in office, nobody bugged me when I was working, nobody bugged me after hours. Now people who are Away all day bug me at 7pm and passive aggressively ask "Are you working today?" I want to respond "Yeah, I worked 10 hours today, bozo! What about you?" Don't get me started on the pings, ping ping ping ping. People used to see you are working and give you time but now they just ping to their hearts content and even being in DND does not stop them from @'ing you several times in a room full of 50 people.

There's a very neat blog/book about using Racket for developing other languages at https://beautifulracket.com

Very impressive work; I believe it's been posted to HN at some point.
19 Black Americans shot out of some 30,000,000 or more... and how many were actively resisting arrest as we've seen time and time again once all the footage is released.

Meanwhile, your glorious United Kingdom is jailing - sorry... gaoling people - for fucking... MEAN TWEETS THAT CALL PEOPLE THE WRONG GENDER, LOL!

I mean, they're both pretty fucking awful... shooting someone for driving drunk, endangering the public, refusing for over 45 minutes to come with the police, then pulling out a gun and trying to shoot said police, but getting shot yourself. Yeah, that's definitely a travesty of policing.

Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police Service are cracking down hard on psychological abusers who have the audacity - the. god. damn. AUDACITY! - to call a transgender person by the wrong pronoun. God bless those hardworking Xes and Xirs for toppling the the true criminal empires.

EDIT: Since the poster deleted his reply, I'm gonna leave this here for him:

"The Communications Act 2003 defines illegal communication as “using public electronic communications network in order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety”. Breaking the law carries a six-month prison term or fine of up to £5,000."

Annoyance. Inconvenience. Or needless anxiety.

Instead of just telling adults to block someone.

I don't know how anyone in their right mind could possibly say the United Kingdom is not devolving into a nanny state when that kind of language is used in their laws.
The lowered fertility rate accounts for economic and social factors. This is biological and it started in the 1950s. It was masked by social changes starting in the 1960s
That's what I was wondering. The whole argument that double blind testing can't work because the dog needs positive reinforcement seems specious.

I'm imagining a room full of opaque cake domes with drugs under some. The dog identifies one, it is lifted to reveal the truth. No one knows how many domes hide drugs, the test proceeds until the dog/handler conclude it.
Its unclear from looking at the features what this gives you over LibreOffice Calc. I guess that it runs in the browser and is written in Javascript, so maybe the extensibility is easier than Calc?

It would be nice to have a section in the README comparing revolist to other mature open source spreadsheet projects.

I doubt that Oxford would have changed their position if Larry Ellison had called to suggest it.

Gates suggesting it gets taken seriously not because he has a lot of money, but because he's spent the last couple of decades heavily involved in global health, much of that concentrating on less developed countries and on vaccination (which fits right in with what Oxford wants for their vaccine), and has developed a good reputation for knowing the field.

Fair enough, codepoints, but the issue remains the same: you keep asserting that it is pointless - harmful, actually - to make use of this one particular interpretation from the hierarchy that exists, without offering any valid justification for why this one particular interpretation must be avoided, while both lower-level and higher-level interpretations are useful (necessary, even.)

Going back to the post I originally replied to, how would going down to a bytes view avoid the problems you see?
Ask HN: Unhealthy thoughts about exploiting existing investors
Two founders, after a long (and humiliating?!) journey to reach a large seed SAFE from professional investors.

Now in a much better position, I keep having thoughts about financial maneuvers to improve the terms in the next round. Not illegal or deceitful!! But using existing terms to the best advantage of the company. My co-founder is really indifferent.

For me, this is less about the money and more about growing the company in risky and amazing directions (which I can probably do anyway?!).

Is it just business, or is it a slippery slope?
For those of us who started using CSS in the late 90s (well before box-sizing was a property), the original box model made perfect sense. And it took me a long time to adjust to box-sizing: border-box, which I only adopted because so many frameworks started using it as default in their base styles.

I don't disagree that there wouldn't be a consensus now, but that's only because the border-box convention has completely taken over.
Thanks for trying it out and for your suggestions.

As for the white background, thanks for the information on how it plays out with astigmatism; had no idea! I'm still thinking how to add how some form of configuration so that those customizations can stick. (The new release I published today has support for an AUTOEXEC.BAS, so probably that combined with some global environment variables could do the trick.)

As for graphics, definitely. I want to add the features you mention as well as PLAY for music... but that will require some reworking on how the web UI works and I'm not sure how I'd add those to the CLI. But these are definitely in my mind.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge! Will definitely avoid that recommendation in the future. <3
Just to add on a more detailed level I think it was Thumb with its better code density that first got them into (Nokia) cellphones. Also, I think Arm long explicitly avoided competing with Intel which they saw (then) correctly as a losing strategy.
I remember some projects going on at MIT on this topic.

I'm not referring to single meta_key look ups but was referring to non-indexed key + value queries on large wp_postmeta tables. Eventually a developer will need to do a meta_key + meta_value look up in some query which will tank performance on large table sizes. With plugins like Advanced Custom Fields, the wp_postmeta table can drastically increase in size and a developer can quickly fire off dozens of non-indexed key + value queries in one request. Given JSON support in MySQL, Postgresql, et al, there is no need to not migrate away from such a poor schema. Source: also work in the media world and have large WP installations in my charge. WP is a resource burden.

If you're truly interested, then you can find about a million discussions on HN why some people like to use Medium and why other think that it's a bad idea.

This is how many urban residential neighborhoods built before the 1950s are. Mine in CA is a such a neighborhood built between the 1920s and 1940s - originally very similar 1000sqft Craftsmans that have been incrementally enhanced over generations up to and including including now.

Where you find a distinct lack of this sort of organic variation is in suburban tract single family home developments where changes are micromanaged by neighborhood HOAs.
I have tried this many times over the years on plenty of different computers and have never once got it to work a single time.
You don’t have to get defensive just be aware. The times have changed, the world is different and our default language absolutely has to adapt.

Language adapts or does. That’s how English got here. You can adapt too - it’s not as hard as you’re making it out to be. Heck, if you spent an eighth of the time thinking about inclusivity as you do about individual words, I wouldn’t have had to say this.

However, again, I’m glad I said something and regardless of what you claim, I’m not going to stop calling these kinds of grammatical monstrosities out. Language is important. Full stop.

Yes they did, read the thread.

There are two views here, broadly, about canceling 'Merry Christmas':

a) it's a popular view on the left

b) it's not a popular view on the left, but some on the right have acted as if it is

View b) is equivalent to agreeing that this whole thing is an example of a 'weak man' argument, and a) is equivalent to disagreeing with it. I struggle to see how anyone could read camjohnson26's comments and conclude that they meant b). They cited a link as evidence of a) and complained when I suggested it wasn't persuasive.
The link you provided does not in fact back up that claim. It shows a demand for 15.1m new homes, with 8.4m of those being one or two person. That’s barely over half - nowhere near 80%.
That first study kind of put me off the article. Black defendant, white victim. Why did they choose just this specific very subject to racism way to measure if the group was better or not? It makes sense that if you have to collaborate whites and blacks both will have a bias towards defending their own, so they'd have to make up better arguments and highlight more facts to get their way.

I might've jumped to conclusions, but I wouldn't read too much into that example.

Well there are two ways to move. One is to move businesses to the people or two, pay people to move.

Cities are no panacea either. Expensive and lots of competition for jobs. If you have multi-generational land bought and paid for then your expense can be quite low.

Now America has a unique suburban landscape that could be leveraged to great effect. Essentially pull people closer to the cities. Then you can develop a central village in each of the suburbs.

That and high speed internet for remote work.
> Jean Baudrillard’s original dissertation on third-order simulacra opens with an attack on Jacques Monod, founding father of molecular biology. With two others, Monod received the 1965 Nobel Prize in Medicine for “discoveries concerning genetic control of enzyme and virus synthesis.” In his book Chance and Necessity, Monod elaborates a philosophy for a universe without causality. But Baudrillard finds more than triumphal scientism here. This is an early attempt to give the coming technocracy its “natural philosophy.”

I think they're saying nuclear families rather than multi generational households.
African-American culture is most certainly not Anglo-Saxon. It’s actual roots in the African diaspora and the Caribbean, and there are entire communities, like the Gullah of the Carolinian coasts, that have preserved their culture and language since the diaspora began. The most noticeable elements of African-American culture have been adopted into Anglo-Saxon culture, they don’t come from it. American culture predominantly descends from Anglo-Saxon culture, but it’s distinct.
Many countries actually have a large population of recent immigrants

Did you know that Spanish is spoken more in the US than Spain as of this moment? 45 million Americans compose 20% of all migrants in the world.

There are twice as many undocumented immigrants alone in the United States as there are people in Ireland, total.

If it's not off-topic, I'm curious to learn how other HN'ers have approached the planning/viability study of getting solar installed at their home.

I want to see a spreadsheet to help me plan out energy use, peak need, whether batteries are worth buying, amount I could sell back, number of panels needed, amortized cost against savings etc. Extra points for thinking tax benefits and estimating the depreciating cost of panels vs the increasing cost of electricity and where the intersection is (or was, if passed) to pull the trigger on a capital expenditure, etc

My initial foray so far has been vendors see this as a qualitative decision rather than a quantitative decision with little support for this approach. For me it's purely a numbers game.

Anyway, I'm sure HN'ers are most likely to be thinking similarly - any pointers or resources to help others?

The more I think about it, there's probably a startup here...

Not only that, every language and design ever made on the face of the earth doesn't have any design mistakes at all. Everything is just an opinion and subjective preference.

In fact point out any mistake to me ever made and I'll just tell you that it's just your opinion and I have a different one.

I'll take it a step further and say that people can hold opinions but those opinions can be categorically wrong or right.

So this article is about one persons subjective opinion, but all his subjective opinions are definitively right and anyone who shares opposing opinions is wrong.

Just want to caveat this post with the fact that I'm just sharing my subjective opinion on this issue, you can agree or disagree.

But if you disagree with me then you are categorically mistaken, but again it's just my opinion you have the freedom to form your own opinion.

Maybe it's pointless to call something an objective opinion because literally that's what everything is. The man calls aspects of css a design mistake, you disagree, prove to me why he's wrong
Do you not like drinking water? It's already a pretty hedonistic activity. In fact, I'd argue it's way less pleasurable to drink things other than water when you wake up parched at 2am. Nothing else in the world tastes that good.

> why not just use stevia or aspartame to get the sweetness without the calories?

I find the aftertaste of stevia disgusting, and really long-lasting, but when I need to sweeten something I’ve had much better luck with erythritol. It’s cheap, widely available, and seems to be safe. That said, I generally avoid sweet foods anyway, so my use of either sugar or artificial sweeteners is relatively low.

But if you’re doing keto and you hate stevia, as I did, try erythritol.
Interestingly, I think Arm has become more MIPs like over the years - dropping some of the features that made it distinctive. In the 'Arm edition' of the Patterson and Hennessey book there is a slightly wistful comment that Arm now looks a lot like the original MIPS - so maybe MIPS has won after all!
This is a popular theory but, plastics and other hormone disrupters are everywhere, including places with high birth rates and strong machismo cultures. The controlling variable is women’s rights and their ability to control their bodies. The sooner we can internalize that fewer women are choosing to have children, and when they do they choose to have fewer, the sooner we can start to make social and policy changes to address it.
AdGuard is available on iOS too. It's using the same list as the one from the article (plus a few more).
> I wouldn't call the distinct African-American culture "Anglo-Saxon". It is instead rooted in the historical experience that black people have had.

It is rooted in their experience living in an Anglo-Saxon milieu.

At the end, they speak English, practice Anglo-Saxon religions, practice Anglo-Saxon traditions, eat Anglo-Saxon food, have Anglo-Saxon sensibilities on gender relationships, social hierarchies, criminal justice, parent–child relationships, personal privacy, nudity, and all the other quintessential Anglo-Saxon sensibilities and cultural norms that make it unique in the world.

> and incorporates elements of African, European, and Native American culture.

I would be interested in knowing what elements of African, European, and Native-American culture are incorporated.

It is also common cultural to draw a divide between “North-West Europe”; “Eastern Europe”, “Southern Europe” and the “British Isles” culturally, as these tend to be culturally quite different from one another, but the lines are obviously not that clear. The U.S.A. obviously primarily draws it's cues from the British Isles culturally given it's origin.

> Similarly, just because people speak English does not make their culture "Anglo-Saxon". There are many different cultural practices that coexist in America whose origins do not originate from North Western Europe.

From their perspective it might seem diverse, just as from the perspective of a Dutchman Randstad culture will seem very different from below-the-rhine culture or Eastern-Saxon culture, but an Englishman will look at all three and find them very close together, which they are on a global scale.
That's not really a fair comparison. There's easily 25x as much water vs salt in the ocean, and a 10x higher fraction of water usage is residential than salt usage. The break-even point you're pointing to is closer to 250:1, not 1:1.
