> I was using a small coworking space a 2 minute walk around the corner instead

This was something I wanted to do as well - only to find out that the local coworking doesn't let you do calls in the space - you have to walk out into halls or limited number of "booths". And I found this common in coworking spaces around here. Which is a stark contrast with how open layout offices I worked in worked (you were expected to keep noise down to tolerable levels but if you didn't want to be disturbed by noise you had headphones).

The idea sounds excellent - I live 5 walking from a nearby coworking space that's really well equipped - but in practice it's not ideal. + having to leave my equipment around strangers isn't the best either and I don't want to meet randoms in a coworking space before I can feel comfortable leaving a wallet on the desk when going to the toilet.

I might end up renting a private office there - but the smallest office they have is 2 people and that's a lot more expensive than a coworking desk.

I agree with everything else you said - I love walking out with my wife and son around lunch time and flexible work hours are much better - I tend to be most productive later in the day anyway - which usually meant I spent mornings in the office socialising and procrastinating and then having to work late - I get to spend that time with my family now.
There are some important differences, and the subjectivity of human judgement is a major one. Also, compression is an interesting goal in its own right. But if the Hutter Prize is proposed as a way of encouraging AI research then I still claim that some of the criticism of the Loebner Prize is applicable.

To me it seems doubtful whether compression of a 1 GB text corpus could benefit from AI even in theory: if you can get it down to about 15 MB without AI then any AI would have a very tight budget. Perhaps compression of a 1 TB text corpus could benefit from AI in theory, but that doesn't mean that people working on AI would have much chance of winning the prize in the foreseeable future because there might be lots of non-AI techniques that provide a bigger improvement in the short or medium term. (A similar criticism was made against the Loebner Prize in the 1990s. Sorry I can't immediately find a link to it.)

You say you "analyzed" and "created financial models". But did you actually put money into it? And if so, did you make money?

> The "voluntary separation program (VSP)” as Williams is calling it, will allow writers to “choose to leave the company and receive a lump sum payment of five month's salary to give a buffer to find their next job.

Five months severance sounds unusually generous. Kudos to Ev Williams for offering such a nice parachute to go along with the business model change. It isn't the writers' fault that the business changed underneath them, so giving them ample time for the transition is deserved and decent.
Yes, I believe you are correct.
It's definitely got competition for the title of "most important" but think about how ubiquitous, increasingly closed off and intrusive modern smart phones are. I think there's some merit to the statement.

I don't think latency is actually the most important feature of edge computing. Sure, it's great that if you use Cloudflare Workers you get very close to end users and have low latency. I think the real advantages will be:

1. Set-it-and-forget-it scalability

2. Compliance with data locality laws

#2 is going to be the absolute wave of the future. Not just in Europe, but everywhere. Every country is going to introduce laws that mean their citizens' data needs to stay in region or in country. A widely distributed edge will make that easy to handle because it can be a configuration option.

I constantly see cyclists fail to stop at stop signs/signals, dart into oncoming traffic, ride multiple riders abreast across roads, etc. Cyclists need to take some responsibility here.

Also, do cyclists register their bikes within the states that they ride them? Do they pay taxes on tires, fuel, etc.? Maybe cyclists should consider that roads were designed and intended for automobiles...
I'm glad to hear this! Using Remirror worries me because it injects an abstraction between our code and PM.

However, when I look at your docs, it's not clear it's a different in approach from Remirror. The imports are all from bangle.dev which makes it seem like the same approach.

I would love to see a doc explaining the "API overhead" and how to use PM directly. I want to feel confident I can easily drop back down to PM if Bangle doesn't have a feature I need or implements it in a way that won't work for our use case.

Really excited to see this approach! Shared PM plugins are a great idea!
> be easy for the Facilities team

Have you ever worked on a facilities team? When a company removes a provision like an personal office and moves to open office layouts they also rationalize their facilities spending. Theoretically, it's easier to clean and maintain the space. More often it's an excuse to find a way to pay less.

I'm not convinced that employees or facility operators are motivated enough to deliver your vision of your stuff being at your desk in any sort of reasonable way. I can't imagine folks being comfortable with packing and unpacking their stuff regularly. For a lot of people, although not me, having people touch their stuff is the root problem. Having different people pack and unpack this regularly would be a nightmare for them.
Yeah, I definitely think it’s a senior vs junior thing. Experienced folk already know the ropes and keep their head down without interruptions from underlings or junior developers. Junior developers have a harder time with acquiring tacit knowledge and need more handholding, which they don’t get because the experienced folk have their head down.

I’ve had a couple interns lately, and the WFH experience with them has been much less successful than past in-person internships have been. They’re able to basically moonlight on a remote project, and there has been actually MORE handholding required as it’s much harder to judge when they’re struggling or if they have things under control. There are a lot more non-work distractions for them and they have developed less camaraderie between each other as lunch times, social activities, and fortuitous interactions have been rarer. The lack of established trust also has significant overhead.

So I agree that this is in many ways a senior vs junior and a maturity divide, however these are digital-native students and they’re still struggling, so I’m not sure I agree it’s going to get much better. I think some of the WFH productivity gains are coasting on pre-pandemic trust and implicit knowledge transfer that aren’t happening as much any more. You can see how hard it is for young people in particular by seeing the drops in performance due to school-at-home.

(However, WFH is indeed forcing some familiarity with remote work for many institutions that resisted technology and teleworking arrangements, so there definitely has been some improvement in some areas. It has been a godsend for some people, and that will be a lasting benefit of 2020’s forced WFH experiment.)
> middleware should apply to a separate web server module that is functional by default.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. The beauty in Node.js' http lib is that you can write middlewares against the core API and run the same code under express.js with additional middlewares for sessions, routing, etc. Python, whatever its strengths, certainly isn't used for web apps more than Node.js, let alone is dominant. Re modules and reuse, I guess if one side is complaining about too much modularity (leftpad) while the other doesn't see enough of it, Node.js got it just right ;)

Edit: CommonJs directly references JSGI [1], and if you compare it to Node.js' http core or express.js' API, you can see the correspondence quite obviously, can't you?

Since going back to school, I moved close enough to where I can commute to and from school using an electric bike. I recommend it whole heartly if you can do it, but I have noticed a few things as a cyclist (Note I am in the USA in a medium sized city, and the law in my state is if you are on the road, you follow the same laws as a cyclist):

- There are a LOT of cyclists that don't bother respecting traffic laws (e.g. blow past red lights without even stopping, not respecting right of way, etc.). It's to the point that when I stop at a stop sign and let the other person go because they have the right of way, they are actually surprised I do it. I have noticed similar things with pedestrians as well (e.g. walk where there isn't a cross walk, jump out when there isn't a walk).

- There are a staggering amount of motorists that are on their phones texting/checking facrbook/I don't know what they are doing. I really wish this would have a much harsher penealty and it was enforced much more.

> "Slower speed limits and street redesigns such as wider sidewalks, narrow roads and rumble strips are among the group's priorities."
A lot of motorists DO NOT care about the speed limit. 25 mph in a neighboorhgood with kids? yeah it's still amazingly common to be cycling at 25 mph on a road to be pasted by a car going 40-50 mph.

I say those things to say I think there are bad actors on both sides, and to be honest, I don't know much of a solution.
>Actual consequences would be a good start to addressing this.

Sorry, but no they wouldn't. They might make YOU feel better, but it would do VERY little to solve the problem. In fact, I'd bet a fair amount of money that you'd end up with deadlier vehicle vs pedestrian accidents because you'd dramatically increase the number of hit-and-runs, reducing the number of pedestrians that receive prompt care.

The consequences are already quite severe, though subject to some uncertainty and heavily based on the circumstances of the accident which... is probably pretty appropriate. In basically every other context in criminal policy, increasing penalties beyond a certain point really doesn't affect the underlying rate of the target crime by very much, and can actually be harmful. Three strikes laws are a good example where a run-of-the-mill crime gets turned into a situation where you might as well go for broke and murder every policeman you see because you're going to prison for life anyway so criminals are incentivized to do whatever they can do to escape.
It's mostly down to vehicles being larger over the timespan measured. More mass means you're more likely to die. And taller wider vehicles have larger blind spots for pedestrians.

There are infrastructure issues too, but vehicle size alone is sufficient to explain most of the increase.
Why would anyone then pay in bitcoin?
It's a pay problem. I don't mind learning some random COBOL codebase and maintaining it, but clients don't want to pay consulting rates over the long term, for what they view as "maintaining an old system".
This is so divorced from reality I don't know where to start. There is effectively no difference between "apt install widget-a" and installing it from a "App Store" other than the App Store option lets the dev feed his family if he needs to to. at least from a user stand point.

FWIW I have _heard_ the pitch that node.js is fast, here on HN and elsewhere, but most times it's fast compared to like... Ruby. Which is fine, but that's not the only competition in town for node.js.
This article is going off of incidents per miles driven, but that doesn't make any sense. It's the level of walking that matters, not the level of driving. Especially when one has gone way up and one has gone way down.

The statistic only says that cars are more likely to hit pedestrians, not that being a pedestrian is itself more dangerous. If people were walking 2x as much in 2020 then this 20% increase would actually mean pedestrians were relatively safer. There's no conclusion to be drawn until you consider the miles-walked number too.
I'm not familiar with cryptocurrencies, but why not some other alternative with far less resource usage?
Hello, mojeek dev here. Cheers for the feedback, appreciated.

In this case we simply don't have the page in our index, though we do have others mentioning hanami. Our bot is permitted to crawl github.com and has a good number of pages in from that host, we'll evaluate whether we can increase crawling for github and similar large sites and hopefully before long that page will enter the index.
I like this take. I’d place a (small) bet on it.
Poke around at what American auto manufacturers are selling these days, it's almost entirely high-grill trucks and SUVs, we don't sell much in the way of cars (and even then, they're mostly of the bigger/sportier variety).

When you get hit by something with a high grill you're more likely to go under the vehicle than over the hood (compared to a car).

This is allowed because when we evaluate cars for safety, we exclusively look at safety of the driver/passengers, not someone getting hit. This is a great place to start when looking for solutions to this problem.

Of course lack of safe infrastructure and a legal system that frequently dismisses 'accidents' also play a role.

EDIT:
I'm talking about the American market and the way the NHTSA evaluates auto safety.

You nailed it, but this cuts both ways: as the folks who used to do everything in Perl move out, the language fades. In the last few years I see that new tasks that would be done in perl several years ago are now done in python. I like perl, but I think its best days are over.

Clean Home Is the Secret to Healthy Life but How?
Numerous companies provide the services of bedbugs extermination in Surrey and being a household, you should try to approach the top-rated company only. Keep an eye on the places from where bedbugs appear as it will make the extermination process easier. More on, the other way is to keep the bed and surrounding area free from eatables and small particles that invite such things. Ask your kids to not throw milk or other sweet liquids in the bed because even if you are done with extermination, the bedbugs can come back due to dirty living and bedrooms.
Yeah, just imagine a part of the Goverment would say "hey we forgot to bring in new peoples and pay them right..sorry", instead of "we did nothing wrong, it's that bad unmaintainable Code-Base and that bad Language named Cobol, and the Mainframe is btw 15 years old" told over Zoom on a Windows10 Machine ;)
Not only are pedestrians more distracted (wearing headphones/earbuds/etc) but DRIVERS are more distracted as well. If it was only one and not the other it wouldn't be as big of a problem but I suspect distracted drivers are more the problem than any cluelessness on the part of pedestrians.

From the article: "Some unloaded barbecue grills, toddlers, and pit bulls, then cracked open beers, and blasted Texas hip-hop and Tejano music. Others joined a slow-moving carousel that flowed from the parking lot into the street and back again, swerving from side to side and occasionally screeching their tires, unleashing plumes of white smoke that covered the block in a light haz".

Valid point. Prosecution varies widely in the US, according to stories from friends.

Unless it's malicious road rage with video evidence of the incident and intent, it's probably not going to be the penalty they deserve.

I get it, everyone makes mistakes. But when your mistake costs someone else their life, you deserve to have the book thrown at you.

I'm hopeful the increasing amount of cameras in cars will allow for more strict prosecution, as they establish a clearer record of fault (e.g. did biker zoom out of nowhere across a red, or did driver miss obvious biker).
>Also, I think WFH tends to isolate and stovepipe employees even more than they already were, which is a problem especially in larger organizations.

The large organization I am consulting at right now had a larger than average number of employees (also higher level employees) quit over the lockdown which has given management the idea that WFH frays the social ties and makes it easier for people to consider leaving.

> Also, do cyclists register their bikes within the states that they ride them? Do they pay taxes on tires, fuel, etc.? Maybe cyclists should consider that roads were designed and intended for automobiles...

Should pedestrians also have to do this? Also it really doesn't make much sense since drivers are typing charged by weight, because that's what matters when it comes to wear and tear on the roads. Bicycles weight nothing compared to cars. Having such a system and charging bicyclist by weight would be orders of magnitude more expensive then the money it brings in.
While I agree that race has been discussed a lot in the past few years, especially on places like NPR or Sam Harris's podcast or in politics, the reality is: poor people are often minorities, and poor people have to do more of their own car repairs than rich people. In general, if laws are related to socioeconomic status, they are also related to race indirectly.

Land Surveyor here. I have no idea where you got the impression that surveyors introduced artificial defects in the past, but this is flat wrong. Cartographers, who make maps at incredibly large scales, sure, occasionally. But “precision surveying” vastly preceded GPS (which...is still nowhere near our most precise instrument) and nearly all of the worlds infrastructure was laid out by incredibly skilled and competent individuals who would have been risking their livelihood had they done what you’re implying. Survey maps aren’t “copyrighted”.
