I expect WFH skews around homeownership (itself loosely correlated with age) and has a downturn depending on children in the household.

I'm barely 30 and a homeowner, and loved working from home. I didn't have to waste hours on a stressful commute. I have a comfy gaming chair, expansive multi-monitor setup, wraparound desk, and silent but fast desktop instead of an aging laptop and 3x5' desk, the kitchen is tons nicer than the break roome, I enjoyed quiet walks in the woods or throwing the frisbee for my dog during breaks...it did suck hearing my 3yo through the door beg me to come out and take one of those breaks with him, but at least I got to do so and have lunch with him, and he figured it out pretty quickly. And no inane interruptions from coworkers when I was deep in a technical problem!

I think the main long-term social implications are a move back out of the city towards more rural or maybe suburban living. Quarantine would have been hell in a crowded downtown apartment with roommates you barely like well enough to share a bathroom with, on my acreage and in my old house with a mortgage that's cheaper than downtown rent it was not just digestible but magnificent, I would quarantine again in a heartbeat.
I mostly like working remotely, but I do think that tech people overestimate the desire of the average person to work online.

Most people like being social, hate Zoom meetings, don’t have a private office at home. Many use the workplace as a place to go to get away from an undesirable living situation (small apartment) or in the case of schooling: a lot of students rely on schools for basic social services. Not everything can be replicated via a computer screen, nor should it.
Determine the root of what gives you anx, is it the not working, not being able to provide, keeping the family afloat? Ways to manage it: Live below your means, diversity your family employment, meaning see if your spouse can be in a different industry that has a different risk profile and save for the rainy day. The feeling won’t ever go away but you can do your best to prep for worst.

Lastly, keep your eyes and ears open. If your company is struggling change jobs on your terms before you take the hit. Good luck.
Fun part about LTE modems is that they usually pack not one, but two OS in them: Android as well as VxWorks that actually handle work with cellular.

So your connection usually going like that: Carrier -> HW -> VxWorks -> Android-based OS -> your device.
Plain text or unformatted email, in my experience, is more likely to have come from an actual person who genuinely wants to send me something. Heavily formatted emails optimized for user manipulation ("engagement") are typically sent by marketing departments who want to sell me something and can be safely discarded and added to my killfile.

I typically recommend all my friends to do the same, and many of them already do. How do you think most people react when they see a banner saying "Would you like to load remote images? [yes] [no]"?
Bitcoin Mining and Resource Use

Yeah, I've read little snippets like that from blog posts and stuff, but I've never written a single line of Ada, so I really don't know how that works out in practice.

What happens if you overflow at runtime? A crash, I assume/hope?

My point of view is that this is the opposite of what I'm talking about anyway. Java is a high level language where we are usually writing in Java because we're agreeing to give up a lot of raw performance (heap allocations, tons of pointer chasing) in order to have convenient models (objects) and not have to worry about memory management, etc.

In light of the above, I don't see why the default for Java is to have these really nitty-gritty numeric types. I don't want to guess how big a number can be before launching my cool new product. Just like I don't use raw arrays in Java and have to guess their max size- I just use List<> and it will grow forever.
Assuming the wife and kids will be paid for this sounds amazing. Otherwise it’s daddy or mommy taking a vacation without the family and that never goes well.
I'm not sure what you mean by "at scale" but Ethereum's PoS currently has over $6 billion staked with over 100,000 validators, without any sort of delegation. The protocol is designed to handle a lot more validators without modification, and resource requirements on validators today are low.
Like it, but how about the South not just seceded, but counter-attacked and drove what was left of the Union government to Puerto Rico from whence both 'countries' claimed sovereignty over the whole.

Eventually the Puerto Rican's US gets very successful within the scope of an island nation and the Confederate USA starts planning on taking PR back, but PR US has since made alliances with a global military power.
I've known plenty of daily drinkers and I have no idea how they do it. If I have even one drink I can notice the effects the next day. Not that I'll be hung over per se, but just a little more tired, little less focused, little less patient with my kids.

So, I don't drink very often (I don't abstain completely either). Drinking every day seems like something that would really take a lot out of me.
Happy liars' day.
Wait, this is real? Not an april fools post?
Military-grade equipment and ammunition don't require cutting-edge manufacturing nodes. There are fabs for older nodes aplenty, and new ones don't require cutting-edge equipment from ASML. Also, since older fabs are usually kept around, there is going to be demand for older tech and spare parts.

To sustain AI and other applications that require cutting-edge tech, the best strategy would be to either stockpile chips (not really feasible since the tech is deprecating) or to build spare capacity, along with the necessary supply chain.
The journal subscription is $200 but the paper is $9 to rent or $32 to buy without it.

>Also I can work from an armchair instead of an office chair.

I do move around the house, but for at least some of us, our backs thank us if we do a lot of our sitting in a good office chair.
What about strongly-typed spreadsheets? I’d kill for a strongly-typed spreadsheet. So many literal million-dollar mistakes are caused by typing (not “typing”) errors in spreadsheets, and Excel makes it easy to do the wrong thing.

Ad-hoc SQL workday be nice too. PowerQuery is nice (great, even) but it doesn’t feel like it’s a part of Excel - and while it’s language is better than SQL, I really don’t want to have to learn a whole new syntax to express the same simple ideas.
Could you link "crypto news aggregator" for us?
Norwegian here. The reason for the quotas is historical and were put in place to limit miners' consumption of beer and liquor. Interestingly there's practically no quota on wine, presumably because miners didn't care much for that.

You can't buy wine and liquor at local stores in Norway Svalbard, but there is a great selection in the state run monopoly stores (Vinmonopolet). In Longyearbyen there's one called Nordpolet (The North Pole, a pun on "pol" meaning both pole and being an abbrevation for monopoly).
I always understood a quota to be a limit. Only in sales have I heard it used as you describe. For example look at EU milk quotas.
It’s not in the UK at any rate, the average varies between 12 and 17 units of alcohol per week depending on age with most of that falling on Fridays and Saturdays. 2 cans of beer per day works out at 28 units, so is certainly substantially more than average. I would guess there is a bubble affect though, most of my friends drink only on special occasions line parties, and regular drinking at home would be perceived as alcoholic behaviour by most of them.
I think that’s a clarity issue on the page. They stated several times in the discord that buying an ST3 licence now covers ST4 as well.
Every once in a while a subject for the papers. And then? Nothing happens! Waiting for the big accident to wake people temporarily up, start an investigation into who is to blame and go back to business as usual.
To break daily routine? I find it dull when I do exactly the same thing day after day.

IME with industrial alcohols, different entities will have different amounts of leeway and with ethanol in particular in the US there are some of the most bizarre regulations.

Natural agricultural ethanol or distilled beverage grade ethanol is highly taxable by numerous agressive collectors so major obstacles to industrial use have long been overcome by _denaturing_ the otherwise natural grain alcohol, by adding a poisonous or disagreeable substance to discourage consumption and therefore avoiding any beverage taxes.

Different denaturants are expected to be used for different end uses of the ethanol, but fundamentally anything (on the list) will do since the primary motivation is taxation/regulatory not function/purpose.

Here is the list, some in the Specially Denatured Alcohol (SDA) category are also approved for personal use by the FDA:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/21.151

Notice that using plain gasoline (leaded) as well as unleaded for denaturant will introduce some benzene to the ethanol since gasoline almost always contains at least a fraction of a percent benzene naturally.

Also, the alternative _High Octane Denaturant Blend_ for CDA20 would be just fine having up to 1.1 percent benzene:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/21.112-T3

Now the Acetaldehyde _denaturant_ that could be used to exempt an industrial alcohol from beverage tax is actually often found naturally in lower-grade less-refined agricultural ethanol, so it originates like an ordinary non-beverage solvent. Once this type material arrives in a common bulk fuel terminal, often it will then be further denatured with a few percent of some fairly high-octane gasoline, carefully measured from a nearby tank. Since the Fuel-Grade ethanol they will be distributing has a maximum 2.5 percent additional denaturant allowed, and the gasoline is lower cost per gallon than the raw ethanol.

The final fuel grade ethanol spec allows 0.06 percent benzene or about 600 ppm:

http://www.cvec.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/PRODUCT-DATA-...

Notice that anhydrous ethanol is not a consideration along this supply chain, up to 1 percent water is allowed in the ethanol that is going to be blended with gasoline for clean-air purposes. Also I was the one who originally proposed the use of method E-1064 for this precision measurement when we were drafting this specification to begin with.

Seems to me like some sanitizer formulators are using fuel-grade ethanol sometimes whether they know it or not, or maybe trying to avoid mere automotive products and using a more carefully specified SDA material.

But a version of SDA28A consisting of highly purified ethanol having only pure Heptane as denaturant could be obtained completely benzene-free, while a different version of SDA28A containing conventional gasoline as denaturant would be expected to contain both benzene and lead.
Eh. An office has almost no facilities I don't have in my home office. And I don't like gyms; I'd rather walk outside.

AFAIK Svalbard is weird in both immigration laws and a distinct tax structure from Norway. My guess is it has to do with tax avoidance schemes rather than consumption.
Maybe you are confusing the word "guideline" here with actual recommendation. You are not suppose to be drinking 14 units per week. You are not suppose to even be drinking every week. In any case you still as much light wine as you can reasonably consume. 2 bottles of liquor and half a bottle of fortified wine on top of your beer. If you consume even that much everyone month I'd be calling you an alcoholic.
> So it’s like the Pareto frontier for software/data projects.

Yes, I like this point of view a lot. Like probably the majority of HN, I dread the very idea of a .xls file, but most problems are related to people not understanding the tradeoffs as opposed to shortcomings of Excel itself. "Usability by non-technical people" is a respectable if underappreciated dimension.
The point of removing the INTERNET permission as I see it is to prevent the app from sending out any information, allowing you to trust it with your sensitive information. However if the app can raise an intent that will cause another app to send out information of its choosing it has effectively broken that permission, even if it never created a socket. Sure, the app may have a hard time getting information back (although there are channels such as app updates at the very least) it isn't enough to trust an app with your passwords just because it doesn't have any permissions.
why isn't there a third answer? WFH is great, but I don't want to do it every day.
Not sure your analogy really works here, since languages like Haskell, Rust, etc. will tell you at compile-time that you have made some mistake.
That's not how systemd (or any init system) works though. Things break at runtime.
It sure would be nice to have a system that could tell me stuff won't work before running it, but that's just not possible.

And my problem is the very definition of a race-conditions. It doesn't always occur and if I play with the timing a bit I can make it go away.
The dependency unit is a oneshot script that adds some ip addresses to interfaces. The dependent job tries to bind to one of those ip addresses. And yes the interface is up before this all happens.
I also see a value in being in the office and meeting the colleagues face to face. But I also like to have more free time and choose my neighborhood based on my own preferences and not based on where my work is.

I totally okay with traveling even longer distances for occasional meetings if I can otherwise be flexible and choose on my own. I hate the "being forced to come to the office" aspect.

For me there is a high chance that I might switch companies after the pandemic to retain the gained freedom I now have. Albeit "gained freedom" might be a bit much. Since I currently have to assume that it's "back to the office" again after the pandemic, I'm not yet as free as I could be with a true remote job.
Supply is increasing. Europe will actually be on par with US by end of summer.

How to Build Custom Real Estate Software Solution?
Yeah, I expect for a lot of urban folk in expensive areas, a co-working space may well be a better option than upsizing so that they have a dedicated office--unless they also prefer that additional space for other reasons.

I believe it's best to take a look at the whole context. It's perfectly reasonable to be worried about a realistic thing, but if the anxiety is affecting your life, you need to see what it is about yourself that's having trouble compartmentalizing that anxiety.

A professional therapist is trained to help with that. That's tricky, because you need to find a therapist who clicks with you. (It's weirdly like dating, actually.) And it requires you to be willing to trust them, because they're going to ask you to look at your problems in unexpected ways. They're not going to be able to give you One Simple Trick that solves this problem -- you're plenty smart, and if there were One Simple Trick you'd already have found it. The whole point is being able to get to that difficult point where you're able to reconsider the whole question from a new angle.

If you don't wish to/can't afford/just can't get a professional, you can try to mimic the process yourself. Try to put away the notion that you have this one specific issue to solve and everything else is just fine. Acknowledge that this is a genuine and real fear, and then ask what mechanisms you use to deal with your other genuine and real fears. Ask why they're not working on this.

Use another person you trust -- perhaps your spouse -- to ask you these questions. Let the conversation wander, especially keeping an eye on things that make you uncomfortable. Press on them, gently, and see what happens.

Sorry if this seems like this isn't very helpful. The really critical part is that I'm noticing that you're asking us, and noting that we don't have any simple special insight into this. We're all just getting through our days, too. So to solve this problem you have to try to reframe it and see if you can find a totally different approach, by looking at it from a new angle.
Yeah, but it seems to be mostly because the change has been silent and under the covers. But what I gathered are two basic things:

One, GSK bought up the brand name NovaMin, possibly related patents. GSK took competitors (or their own product?) off the market, and pushed their premium and strongest brand Sensodyne to the front.

Two, toothpaste is considered a drug in the US and falls under strict rules. They can still use NovaMin / the chemical compound, it's still there, they're just not allowed to advertise with it.

It was 72% in the US as I pointed out in my comment.
Yes, but the comment said:

> Japanese alphabets (kana) doesn't have a concept of upper/lower cases [...] so they can't be used to express anger.

It reads to me a bit like "the natural way to expess anger is uppercase, but they didn't have that, so they did the other thing instead".

Would you find a sentence like "English didn't have dots so they used uppercase to express anger" equally natural?
Real estate is worse. I've watched developers sit on property for decades. Slowly buying up property around them as it comes up for sale. Just so they can build a fancy strip mall.

If you try to bring rationality to money you're going to lose. None of it really makes sense and the rules get rewritten all the time.
Pennsylvania has monopoly state stores for liquor too.

When weddings used to last for days, the mine bosses here would go to the beer and liquor stores and tell them to stop selling to that group of people. Then when the drinks ran out, the wedding would end and the miners would go back to work.
Definitely. I even resent events (whether team meetings or conferences) that force me to travel on Sunday. I sometimes choose to extend a work trip over a weekend but it's my choice.

I do agree with the basic point. The team I work with is scattered across about 10 timezones. On a given day I'm probably talking with some combination of remote people and people normally in about 5 different offices. As someone who has been remote, the main pain point over the past year has been the lack of my usual travel to many events as well as team off-sites (which usually aren't primarily fun and games but do involve socializing). I normally travel about 1/3 of the year.

Open source != free for all

I think it's good that people use alternative licenses. It's about time the situation, where there is a nice project conceived in a garage and developed into maturity with the hands of volunteers and then appropriated by a big corporation that then make billions out of it without sharing any profits, ends.
Open source was never meant to be exploited this way, but big corporations started to see it as a big R&D money saver and started promoting it. We should see through that.
Developers deserve to be paid and shouldn't be exploited by big corporations who wipe their conscience with Open Source PR.
