Indeed, I agree with you on that. These risks absolutely have to be kept in mind.

As you said, it really depends on the animal in question. Whatever works for you and your pet, I'm totally fine with other approaches.

As for my cat, I don't really have a choice. She would probably rip a hole through the wall if I forced her to stay inside for more than a week :)

"From an eight-hour workday that you would normally experience in the office, now, without asking the workforce, certainly get 10-12 hours of work done on a daily basis. It’s because of that flexibility, people appreciate that,”...

Employees are working 50% more. That's why it's "more productive".

Personally, I'm at my desk way earlier, and way later than I should be. It's hard to disconnect when everything is still there. The time I spent on commuting is now spent working - rather than on a hobby and such. I'm certain I'm not the only one, and sure maybe some of you can "disconnect" and get more time to yourself or your family. Statistics from my employer (a very large multinational) says the same, too. Emails getting sent more on off hours, people logged in more.

I would not say that EU grads are better than American grads or the opposite. They both have different set of skills and strengths.

My experience is the following: I’m an European grad but did my PhD in the USA . In Europe tests were brutal and you had no help whatsoever from the professors. Your grade in a course was 80%-100% a single final test and lots of people would fail. Also, professors would not restraint criticism toward students.

In USA students seldom fail, grades are inflated in most universities and they not only depend on tests but also on homework and a variety of activities. They also spend lots of time doing extra activities and “leadership” stuff and learning how to self promote.

That being said, I feel that American students end up being much more driven and optimistic and many of them end up trying and succeeding at doing new things.

Social media can just be iMessage though, group chats with friends, I don’t see any thing that a phone can’t do that Facebook can in terms of being required for social life.
I spend my waking hours with people too, if that helps explain the sentiment.

I'm definitely full & happy on the "people I have meaningful relationships with" front without coworkers adding on.

Spending 1/3 of my waking adult life with people who happen to have the same employer as me just isn't appealing. It's so easy to find people I have more in common with.
Okay, that makes sense to do a (mostly) one-way Starship trip. Rockets are expensive, but not so much so that it wouldn't be worth it be able to haul more cargo instead of more fuel, and maybe have a nice big stainless steel tube on the moon or in the general vicinity, that could be used for all sorts of things.
This can be done by requiring them to be open about the algorithm, hence “don’t allow black box algorithms”.
I wish more apps used git as a sync option. GitJournal is a great client for Android phones and then any editor on desktop platform works fine (plain text or markdown notes). I use it with vs code and Dendron.
Many sites will support QUIC soon, but they won't strictly require it for a long time, it's negotiated and backward compatibility isn't irrelevant quite yet.
Most languages have great DX. It seems like the majority of PHP frameworks have very bad DX. I would consider using Laravel or Symfony.
Oh yeah. Every time someone posts an article covering that GPT HN fiasco it gets flagged and removed almost immediately.

Then I realised that a good long term strategy needs to work around a good short-term strategy which enjoys priority. I switched to population and production focused games, and suddenly the “Impossible” AI was too easy.

I know I know it’s probably bad for me not just my health but overall quality of work but as a web developer it’s not exactly hard and often find myself half cut at work yet still hit deadlines and never had any complaints or push backs on PRs.

lichess has very big problems with the chat, so I won't call it "community first", it's nice if you are just there to play chess, but playing chess with your actual friends its a problem, the chat is heavily censured so having any casual conversation while playing it's hard. To give some examples they ban chat messages that look "similar" to the previous one, so lets say you type a2, and then you type a3 (... a chess position) the last message won't be displayed which is very annoying. This "solution" solves nothing and causes problems, because anyone trying to say something will just try till the message goes through(if you ever noticed that what you typed didnt reach the chat...). Did you make a typo on your phone number/birthdate/address? you can't fix it if it's just the fix to the number, they seem to have been trying to solve with the computer social issues that cant really be solved that way. Besides, there's a very lengthy list of censured words that you can't type, even if you are playing with your actual friends, with people that you may even know in real life, it's insane. I maintain sites frequented by teens and their language is not the best but thats the way teens talk, lichess doesn't welcome the young by doing what its doing now. They are dictating what you can say and not. The funny thing is that I believe the chat is logged forever on their server and there's no indication on the screen of that actually happening, I really wish for my chat history to be deleted, specially because I was not informed about it. Don't get me wrong, I love lichess, but I have pretty much stopped playing when I discovered these things.
Nah, survival of the fittest is a family affair.

Of course it doesn't! I've yet to meet a procurement team that actually understands what they are buying. Companies like Microsoft focus heavily on "training" and "awareness" of their products and solutions - pure slideware, but speaking the right language.

At enterprise-scale, I must concede that Microsoft have a really sleek sales pitch. Group Policy in AD offers a level of "managed desktop" that a low-pay, mid-skill sysadmin can operate. That lets you set and enforce "policies", and they get enforced on the computers, and this is something that entirely non-technical senior managers can understand and feel confident in.

Any OS could be used to register a vehicle title, but MS' option gives you a fleet of relatively cheap and accessible talent with an "official certification" (MCSP or whatever it has become) - governments love certifications, as it helps them de-risk things they don't understand. The clever enterprise vendors understand this, and try to ensure the market is awash with "their people". It's probably controversial to say, but governments love technology that is able to be run (by-design) by hiring mediocre people to run it. Windows Server with a shiny GUI to edit group policies and apply updates hits that spot for many organisations.

I wouldn't be surprised to find the "extremely complicated requirements" for the vehicle registration government agency are the ability to run some (procured) proprietary endpoint protection client (which probably runs everything it sees unsandboxed, as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM [1]), and enforce a whole host of client-side restrictions (which could easily be network-layer) to prevent people using personal email on managed devices.

I first seriously discussed how Google is a systematic internaliser with my cofounder in 2003. The next year Google together with a consortium of major publishers abandoned and wrote off a $350MM initiative to enable trading in traditional and print media and the Advertising Age piece even reported specifics why they were disbanding which read close enough to what we began doing since 1996. The reasons involve a lot of micro market theory and since there's a involved corporate history that's about as much as I can say other than it looked very clear to us that Google merely found that the traditional media had managed to stitch up their markets in similar ways without any theoretical appreciation for their actions.

Nobody disagree with the message: of course, all lives matter.
Everyone is also fine with the peaceful protesting (I mean actual peaceful protesting, not CNN's meaning of peaceful, which already became a meme).

Whoever seek to loot, destroy and coerce people into stupid acts needs to be condemned. BLM leaders didn't condemn the violence, which make the BLM movement just a bunch of terrorists, same as Antifa.

I'd add to the list "things that could be fixed if this turns out to not be temporary".

If the only place you have to set up your workspace is your kitchen table then yeah, that sucks hard. But most people I know living in tiny bachelor suites and stuff where this becomes necessary are doing so because that was what they could get/afford a reasonable distance from the office.

If your WFH transitions to permanent, then you can solve this. You don't need that downtown suite anymore. If enough people transition to WFH to take the pressure off of the downtown rental market, then even if you _want_ to stay downtown chances are you can get more space pretty cheaply.

If you don't have a proper desk, enough monitors, a good chair, or other equipment... That's basically a one time cost if you transition to WFH. Bug your employer to pay for it or let you take home some of the now unused office equipment. I know for me I've saved over $15k in the past year not having to go downtown. I can buy a new Herman Miller chair basically every month and throw the old one in the trash and still be breaking even.
"It seems like many consider the alternative to FLoC to be an anonymous web where content can be accessed without login."

I consider the alternative to FLoC as no FLoC. I consider the alternative to 3rd party cookies as no cookies. I can read HN just fine without 3rd party cookies. Or FLoC.

Developers, paid from advertising budgets, may be eager to comment and share their opinions on these matters but, let's be honest, they themselves are making such comments via a website (HN) that has no requirement for 3rd party cookies. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.^1

If cookies must be enabled to make a purchase or login, then I will enable cookies and accept a cookie, but only from that website and only for that purpose. However the requirement for cookies in these specific situations^2 has been taken as license for "modern" browser authors to make "cookies enabled" a default setting. This has been abused to no end.

1. I am commenting as an end user. I do not rely on the existence of online advertising to make a living.

2. It seems to me that the real problem here, the one which we should be trying to solve, is that web developers have no available solution for "shopping carts" and logins other than to use cookies. (Maybe the web was not designed for commerce.) Instead, Google is proposing a "solution" that makes business better for Google and its customers (advertisers, not end users), while making business more difficult for any company hoping to gain insight into end user browsing habits, except Google of course.

"... an anonymous web where content can be accessed without login."

It is always interesting how comenters make the jump from one company's software (e.g., Google Chrome) or website (e.g., Instagram) to "the web".

The web is more than a handful of "tech" company monopolies that rely on advertising to exist. It is a medium, not a set of commercialised content. I starting using the web before Google or Facebook existed. Before user contributed content was usurped by "tech" companies to sell online advertising services.

Today, I still get nearly 100% of content from the web without ever logging in to any website. Without Javascript, and without cookies.

If one takes comments like the parent at face value, then this should be impossible.
Prices have been steadily rising on MTG cards for several years.

serve a purpose well, have their moment of fame, last a decade and
disappear except at a few enthousiasts. C has been there for 50 years
and served as the basis of many newer languages so it's still well
understood. I'm sure about one thing, the C bugs we have today will be
fixable in 20 years. I'm not even sure the Rust code we'll merge today
will still be compilable in 10 years nor will support the relevant
architectures available by then, and probably this code will have to
be rewritten in C to become maintained again.[1]

I used Standard Notes paid for over a year, and switched to Obsidian recently.

My experience with SN was that the editors are half fleshed out, incompatible with each other, and make it hard to use with other tools. The notes can be markdown, html, text, or other formats as well as being encrypted. This makes exporting very annoying to use.

Contrast to other tools like obsidian.. it’s just markdown. I can sync it across devices just by sharing the folder. SN is a great concept, but there’s a lot of design decisions I hated while using it.

Does anybody know if there is a U2F software solution that works with mobile phones?

Ideally with the following features:

* Authentication via fingerprint + periodically via password

* Allows to backup the secret key during setup

* Supports multiple devices

* Open source

* Works over Wifi

* Works with Linux desktops and Android phones

We here know that, politicians don’t seem to and they set the rules.

I guess the reviewers did not see a problem. Or deemed the contribution to the field sufficiently important to let it pass through. I don't know, really.
As one example of how to slow a story: back when Wikileaks was first really trending, Facebook would sometimes just take a really long time to submit a post, or simply error out, if you tried to post a URL from Wikileaks.
This is all true, but there's also a not insignificant group of people that do have both parents working solely for the money and wfh allows those people to move to a one income household since work is no longer coupled to real estate market.
If it's for unwinding, as OP wanted, I'd recommend specifically indoor climbing.

There are three kinds basically: speed, lead, boulder. The best one is that which has the least commute for you. If multiple are accessible, start off with lead, then you can easily switch. Lead climbing is about two quite old-fashioned concepts: bravery and trust far more than about thinking (or anything else).

Also, that prevalent myth: arm strength is not a pre-requisite. Heck, I personally know climbers who cannot do even one strict pull-up and still lead decent routes.
That's called transparency, and it's fine that they do that.

> A law would be horribly broken if it said something like "all stores must have a web API". Alternatives of "web stores must have a web API" or "all businesses with a digital UI must have a published API offering the same features" wouldn't succumb to that.

There would have to be a lot more than that. Who would govern API quality, what about service levels, how about authentication and sign up? Data formats, etc. Would these all be up to the vendor? What happens when there is a bug in the API?

> That's why I take issue with the word "architecture". If a business has chosen to offer a web storefront, a web API can be supplied right alongside that.

No, see above. It just isn’t that simple.

> There's no need for any "architecture" mandate - the business has chosen the architecture, and the law would mandate accessibility.

Well this isn’t what you said before.

> Also a P2P/distributed store would itself be defined by an open API, making the issue moot.

Not at all. There is no reason at all for distributed store network would need to have an open API. It could operate in terms of user facing pages for people to interact with - or be like a network of chat bots.

You are basing this entire hypothesis on the basis that computer architectures are what you imagine them to be today, which is an invalid assumption.

You don't need to make it as elaborate as 'safe deposit box' or 'implanted into spouse' and most accounts that matter have other ways of recovery, e.g. an app-based authenticator, one-time recovery codes (a recovery code is something you might want to stick in a safe deposit box). You can just get, say, three hw keys, put one on a keychain another somewhere on your desk and a third in a drawer somewhere.

Yes. Also, if this is a concern, the property involved may never have been publicly listed as for sale.
Yeah, I'm not sure if it prevents corruption at all. In my country public tenders are just another word for corruption.

A real example: police force wanted to get say 1000 new squad cars. One of the points in the tender was that the car's trunk has to be exactly that many litres (say 307L, don't remember the exact number). So of course, only one model of all the cars from all manufacturers had that value, and of course the only dealer who submitted for that tender won it. So it was blatantly obvious that the process was rotten from the start. But it was legal. And they (government)did it many times. And pretty much they are doing it for the last 20 years or so. So corruption is not something which you can solve easily, you need a lot of checks and balances to make it work.
Right now there is no viable competition. That's what this means.

I'm more than familiar with overcommit and it has nothing to do with being out of memory.
In fact, im explicitly talking about the kernel failing to allocate (-ENOMEM) in a alleged future driver.

It may interest you to know the WebKit takes this behavior to 11 and actually uses overcommit to isolate heaps even. That "runway" of memory between heaps is not used and thus the +99GiB virtual memory size is bunk. Really nothing to do with being out of memory.
Noise. But don't judge too harshly, it's actually like that everywhere I got to work.

Inflammation is a basic life process, not a reaction to the food you eat. Inflammation plays an active part in wound-healing. Teething in infants has an inflammatory component.
