They fixed this a few versions ago. Now if it sees a mask, it shows the passcode input immediately.
Time management at home is a different ball game.

A good first step is to understand what's fundamentally different about working from home, alone, versus working from the office. Some common differences:

- Context shifting into the office can help context shift you to work mode. At home, if you use the same workstation for games and Reddit and work and entertainment, you lose the physical context shift. If possible, try using your company-provided computer for only work, and your personal computer for only play. Even better if you can have them in different rooms. Start training yourself to associate one context with work, and one context with not-work. When you sit down in the work context, it's time to work.

- Accountability can feel lessened when no one can see over your shoulder. This can be misleading in the short term because it's easy to get away with it for a while: You can tell people you ran into unexpected difficulties, or you had to spend time on something else, or any number of excuses that work in the short term. Over the long term, the productivity difference starts to show up in your output relative to peers, so avoid falling into this trap. If your company isn't big on short-term accountability, give yourself some daily accountability. A good practice would be to write a short message to your team's Slack channel with what you're going to be working on for the day. At the end of the day, write a short summary of what you accomplished. Once this is routine and public (within your team) you will feel some of the same accountability you did when your team was sitting in the same room and could see you working (or not).

- Offices provide a lot of social exposure that we take for granted. Slack and Zoom can't fully replace it. Make sure you get out of the house and see other people routinely, even if it's just walking around the neighborhood. Simply seeing other, real human beings goes a long way.

- Track your time. Entering the office in the morning and leaving in the evening are natural delineators for your work day. Try to have some similar start and end times at home. Consider using something like RescueTime so you can see where your time is going during the day.
Show HN: Boilerplate for the rapid deployment of a Kubernetes cluster
Most software engineers become experienced software engineers (enough to self-manage) very quickly in the right environment, I've found.
That's what I assumed. I couldn't see any other way this would be even remotely possible.
Can someone who knows more about Eth tell me if this staking is a 100% guaranteed to happen? Is there a chance that miners rebel or a fork is made?

If I'm asking it to play music, favouring YouTube music means playing it from there
Surprising with so many live TV competitors in a similar price range to YouTubeTV like Hulu and Fubo that are also on Roku.
I really want to say medical masks. I really want to.
I can't reproduce that. I wonder if it's on some specific channels.
If people are suddenly taking offense to it that means the culture has shifted so far in one direction it's no longer relatable to the average person. The idea that people suddenly started being offended easier seems less likely than the industry falling off the political spectrum to the point people are sick of it.
Ramsey theory in a nutshell is about studying what must be true about graphs as they get large in certain ways, because the very size of the graph makes it impossible for the things to be false any longer. My impression is that it tends to be more useful for putting bounds on how good a practical technique can be rather than directly producing said direct techniques.

It's not quite the same as complexity theory in computer science, but it's a pretty close analogy. Complexity theory doesn't necessarily have a lot of direct use, but it's certainly indirectly useful to engineering, and a very useful tool for an engineer to have in their toolbelt for measuring and talking about things that are otherwise too abstract to measure. Even if you aren't inclined to study it directly yourself, don't slag on it, because you benefit from the people who do.
THey shoud just call it the grannies instead, to show how out-dated and out of touch it is. MIddle-aged and young people have long stopped caring about it.
The toy examples of Polynesian islands get a lot of play here, although if you rule out the extremely marginal and isolated places like Henderson, Pitcairn and Easter islands, there's not much to go on.
After some thought, I think I basically agree with that main point. I've actually been dipping my feet heavily into async programming in rust (personal stuff), and async programming in typescript (work stuff) after about a decade mostly doing C++ stuff (previous work).

The challenges and confusions you mention are pretty fresh in my mind.

Maybe switching the default semantic behaviour over to recognize the async type signatures and implementing this sort of default syntax transform is the better way to go.

I wonder if it might cause problems with generic code - where a return type for some otherwise non-async function happens to "become a future" due to type-specialization, turning the function async? But maybe that's not an issue because the call-specialization behaviour just transitively applies to all the callers up the chain, same as any other specialization.

Beyond that, I think this whole conversation has a hard time moving forward before we get a good industry understanding of high-level concurrency structures in practice. So far the major one people fixate on is "actors", which usually reduces to "stream processor".. which is a nice construct but by itself not enough to build complete programs out of. You need an entire structural framework to talk about what produces the things the stream processes. Sometimes that'll be other streams, sometimes that'll be static, sometimes that'll be some collection of random event sources, some of which are direct and some of which are indirect. Then you need ways of talking about how those producers relate to each other, and _some_ way of identifying and preserving global / regional / local invariants.

Error handling is a nightmare. I haven't yet found any good vocabulary to talk about shutdown order for tasks and error handling in, how to express it clearly in the program intent, and how to make sure that intent doesn't rot over time. It's all ad-hoc promises and hooks and callbacks wiring up _this_ event to _that_ thing.. accompanied by small or large comments along with the hope that your fellow developer is cleverer than you and can actually figure out the intent from just the text of the code.

After we get a few good examples of those sorts of things, it'll be easier to go back and discuss syntax and semantics, and we'll have a reference set of designs/patterns to check against and make sure we can express cleanly.
> Taking the keys private doesn't scale long term, as people still have to secure them. I believe the long term solution of secure Bitcoin storage is more companies allowing multi-sig key signing.

It's a mixed bag, because while multi signature key signing would help mitigate events in which a key is compromised or lost, it would also expand the attack surface. Some might argue that it's easier to obtain a user's login credentials (for instance, by exploiting an XSS on a site storing one of your keys, or by posing as a support agent who "verifies" your security questions) than it would be to trick someone into handing over their private key outright.

You do have a valid point though, in the long term it's unclear how well people will manage to secure their keys if they choose to take that burden entirely upon themselves. A natural disaster, for instance, could cause a lot of private keys to be lost. That being said, I would never trust a 3rd party to hold any of my private keys, because at that point they are no longer private.

Interesting, mine seems to have like a 50% chance of unlocking anyways with my mask on, I thought they did some sort of improved face-with-mask detection or something
I am a retiree and I very definitely pay income tax.
> Where automated management – or “decision intelligence”, as Google and IBM call it – has been deployed, it’s produced impressive results. Hong Kong’s mass transit system put software in charge of scheduling its maintenance in 2004, and enjoys a reputation as one of the world’s most punctual and best-run metros.

Predictive maintenance != “automating a CEO”
Apple is already moving out of China for some of their factories. India was a big target for this.
Many tractors these days are hydraulic as well.
I can't help but wonder if the football team also has such rules
I would not be bothered by Cargo not being a build system, except it's the one build system underpinning the entire Rust ecosystem via crates.io, and its "rules" are not interoperable with other build systems.

As a result, you have to deal with Cargo's terrible build system whenever you want to use an external crate, whether you want it or not.
This kind of "transparent async" (like what golang also does) always has the danger of creating race-condition-style bugs, because some synchronous-looking piece of code doesn't run synchronously so some state at the beginning of the function has a different value at the end of the function. Have you had those kind of problems with your Java codebase?
With the frustration of the past year in iPhone not unlocking due to your face mask it seems like a proof of concept that iPhone should bring back TouchID.
> Roku alleges Google has asked it to favor YouTube music results from voice commands made on the Roku remote while the YouTube app is open, even if the user's music preference is set to default to another music app, like Pandora

This is what my Amazon Echo Show is doing when Youtube is open on it, and I find it rather logical and convenient. That lets me search on youtube with my voice.

>Apparently you didn't bother to fully read their comment, or even look at the page.

Was there a need for this attitude (which, by the way, violates HN guidelines)?

I was looking, not unreasonably, at the linked page. I see that indeed the first example on the "Examples" page exhibits this wobble - thanks to user jmiskovic who was actually helpful.
I'm more disgusted with state and local governments in CA, and Gavin Newsom in particular, but that event was quite illustrative of the problem.
I have about a 60% success rate on their "fix" to this, varying wildly depending on which mask I am wearing. The better a mask fits, the less likely the solution is to work, because the phone seems to think it's an unmasked face, just not my unmasked face.
Nice analogy. I think that Tyler Cowen statement is a symptom of Procrustean thinking from someone who starts reasoning not with an understanding of how humans are, but starts “logically” from the principles of economics and how humans ought to be per the economics rule book.

IMHO, (too much) inequality is fundamentally a problem because respective people’s power/influence in a market society (which we’re tending to) is proportional to their wealth — and that is intrinsically incompatible with the notion of participative democracy.
they actually do this, but it doesn’t look like a button. the “face id” text that is shown when it tries to recognize your face is clickable and it brings the password form. awesome ux...
The Third Place
That's probably survivor's bias and not true at scale. "Right environment" is shaky - we should strive towards defining what makes an environment the "right" one and how can we increase the number of engineers that successfully acclimate to their new way of working.
The big spenders on dating sites are the ones there just to screw around. That's why they all mostly become toxic hell holes, because the economics incentivize catering to those assholes
Strange, I'm up to date yet it still spends ages searching for my face when I have a mask on. Perhaps my mask isn't masklike enough?

tvOS should include the new color balancing feature, correct?
Obviously the best is a balance between individual and collective rights/power.

Your simplistic argument is ignoring the negatives of purely "individual actors"
This isn't that big of a deal to me because I could still use the YouTube TV app from my iPhone and then just "cast" it to the Roku which is acting as a "cast client".

And even then, that's only at my friend's house where their TV is too old to have built in "smart TV / cast to me" functionality.

Roku is dope but this might not be as big of a deal as it seems.
Vulnerability can be seen as a lack of control. And I really believe our generation is terrible at it. We say we want authenticity, but I think we want authenticity from people like ourselves.

Also, social media encourages a very performative style of vulnerability: "let me write at length about a small quirk," ignoring the fact that anxiety basically runs their life to such an extent that they need Twitter as a social outlet.
Aren't you supposed to remove feature flag code after it's found to be stable? Some products block paid features with flags and those stay in, of course.

Do others get actual dev time to clear that up, or is it just rolled up into any technical debt work?
Lack of intellectual density.

All have great universities in the immediate vicinity which are a nexus for commercial intellect. These metros are roughly 1/3 of the size with probably double on avg. the available tech talent pool.
Wow, thanks for the tip. I would never in a million years have discovered this otherwise. I don't know if Apple's UX design has gone downhill lately or if I'm just getting older and stupider.
Yep, including for the older A8 Apple TV.
The performance of a business can be measured by a machine in finite metrics. Things like opportunity cost are a reliable way for machines to make this determination. You give it your business metrics and tell it which ones are variable. Then run the simulation over and over with different levels of risk tolerance, risk appetite, political factors ect and see which ones result in the highest opportunity cost. Then you run the next simulation assuming the previous one is reality and keep extrapolating a beneficial future for the company. 24/7/365.

It is naive to think that every other position within a company could be eliminated except the CEO. Of course it could be, and eventually you can expect that it will be. It's when humans are no longer the shareholders that we all need to be concerned. If we're still alive.
I think its pretty clear there are problems on both sides. Managers need to learn the correct approach to facilitate acclimating their team to remote work but each individual also could improve how they work so that remote settings are more optimal. Nothing is so black and white.
People thought of this issue since 1870 and the solution they came up with is simply non-transferable rationing devices. In traditional Marxist terms this was labour vouchers but nowadays there are much better solutions. Marx himself wrote about this, in terms of primitive accumulation in socialism.

For sure there are a lot of issues, but this isn't one of them.

You could in theory have bribery in material terms, but this is much easier to trace than in money terms.
"The eBOSS observations are consistent with the dynamical dark energy probed by our team using the BOSS survey four years ago."

What they are referring to here is a model which is an alternative to having a constant cosmological constant. The takeaway is that they are very confident that dark energy is something whose density can vary in time and space. There has been mounting evidence for this for some time, but it's a departure from the original formulation of general relativity. Here is some more information (2012) https://phys.org/news/2012-11-dark-energy-static-dynamic.htm...
screen writers have apparently forgotten how to write and read, so they must derive inspiration from picture books instead. I look forward to someone making a movie based on board games soon..oh wait, that was done
I disagree (my anecdotal estimate would be around 1/3 do quickly, and 1/3 do "slowly" i.e. within 3-5 years), but those who do can still accelerate the process by reading documents like this, no? People who can self-teach still benefit from learning materials.
maybe. and that's Gs problem that they are trying to make Rs problem.
As someone who has depression (via bipolar), this over-attribution is real and it hurts those who actually need help. Medication is literally a life-saver for me but no one should be taking it if they don't need it.
It's order of magnitude less than 15 seconds for me. And they have specifically implemented mask detection so if FaceID spots a face with a mask on it immediately shows the passcode keyboard.

Personally, I'm getting the passcode prompt in less than 1 second.
Red/blue means that in one direction a seam is impossible to create. That's not generally the case for allocators in zig.
No, far from it. The pop culture definition of ADHD has become extremely vague and watered down, almost to the same degree that "OCD" has become a pop-culture term for attention to detail.

Procrastination is a common behavior in people with and without ADHD. Procrastination alone is not an indicator of ADHD.

Likewise, someone who procrastinates does not fully understand the struggles of someone with ADHD.
You're looking at the wrong number. See how it says "Operating Expenses" right below "Gross Income"? You're going to need to subtract that, then you're at operating income. Subtract operating income expenses and you're at pre-tax income. Subtract the tax and then you have what you might actually consider "profit". It's less than 10% of your original figure.
Quote: "Even after millions of years of evolution, that continent has less genetic diversity in its flora because of its single common ancestor"

I disagree with this. After each extinction event, even after the one who vanished 80% of existing species, geological studies showed that evolution only need ~10 million years to have the same diversity as before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extin...).
yes, join an activity where you have to actively do something together. the conversation will then focus around what you are doing.

when you play boardgames you talk to learn the rules of the game and you use the player interactions that make up the game.

when you volunteer you talk about the work needs to be done.

any hobbies or sports you talk about how to do things.

you make connections by frequently interacting with the same people. do it long enough, be a reliable helper, and you'll make friends.
Also it will break your back button which will scroll to arbitrary points in the article instead of going back to HN.
I’ve never seen it take 15 seconds… it takes 2 seconds with a mask and 3 seconds with no face visible at all, for me. Versus 1 second when Face ID works.

I already have an Apple watch, and still resent that their solution for removing the fingerprint scanner is buying a new expensive accessory. Under-display fingerprint readers have existed for years, so it's not an aesthetics issue.
I wonder if we’ll actually see flight from PoW cryptocurrencies to PoS at rates sufficient to reduce the current environmental impact. Anecdotally, a lot of the people I know who were early in Bitcoin are talking more about PoS coins as the natural progression and PoW as doomed tech. But until I actually see the transition happen, I remain (optimistically) skeptical.

This was a reason I inadvertently got some previous co-workers over-excited about a feature (only to find it was only in the betas I happened to be running). Still remember having to break it to the first person who really wanted to enable the feature that it must be in beta - and I spoke too early.

As an aside - earlier betas didn't seem to like various colored masks in my experience (turquoise being the main one) - which seemed to be fixed in later versions.

For context: worked at a COVID-19 Testing/Vaccination site - mask on more hours than not each 24... I _LOVE_ this feature still.
it would be cool if Safari finally got WebGL 2 enabled by default
No one has mentioned yet that not all CEOs are large enough to be listed/Fortune 500/etc. Take a look at the state of California - Q1 2020. 0.1% of all business had 1000+ employees: https://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/LMID/Size_of_Business.... In fact 71.1% of all business presumably with a high level of incorporation, have 0-4 employees. In this case the CEO is also most likely filling all the roles of the C-suite, including lead <worker role here> and janitor.

It's casually flippant to say that all CEOs must be automated out of their jobs without looking at the details and nuance of what the data bear.
