>>my addictions to my phone is making me lethargic and causing regular migraines and eye strain issues

How do you know that? (Find out for yourself, no need to answer). Maybe these effects are being felt as a result of age, diet, environmental conditions, or stress, or exacerbated by these. Or maybe it is the phone. Be open to other possibilities though. Also, your addiction is not "making you" lethargic (or the other things). You are choosing to do these things. Repeatedly. There is a big difference between something else doing the thing (something else has power over you) and you choosing to do the thing (you have power over you). Spoiler alert: you always have all the power.

Sounds like you may need some aim in your life. Goals, directions, hobbies, social circles, but most importantly, meaningful work (whether that's coding/art/rearranging people's bathrooms or whatever it is). Write some goals down. Fail at them (that's likely not optional). Write new goals.

If there are some aspects of life that are challenging for you, then you know exactly what to do to challenge yourself and develop as an individual.

Tips about anxiety (I used to be very socially anxious) - practice being the loudest person in the room often. As much as possible. Everywhere. Especially in trivial places like the gas station and restaurants. Talk to your everyone loudly. Excessively loudly. At least louder than everyone else. Introduce yourself. Get their name. Ask simple questions VERY LOUDLY. This gets much easier the more you do it. Once you practice drawing attention to yourself a good bit, then you can start practicing putting your attention inside yourself instead of on others. Feel your body, your muscles, watch your thoughts, are you cold/hot, etc... these things aren't in your awareness if you're worried about what others are thinking/doing. Have fun with it and it will get more fun.

Don't forget, you can do ENTIRELY new things no matter where you are in your life. You're a human. We are part flexible problem solving mechanisms as a central part of our nature.

This one species is not native to the Keys and is responsible for nearly all the mosquito-bourne illness there. If this kills every single mosquito of this species, 96% of the total mosquito population will remain.

> ...suppressing populations of wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which can carry diseases such as Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.

> Aedes aegypti makes up about 4% of the mosquito population in the Keys, a chain of tropical islands off the southern tip of Florida. But it is responsible for practically all mosquito-borne disease transmitted to humans in the region

Also, apart from building thermal management, energy is consumed in commutes. Associated energy costs of infrastructure maintenance, vehicle maintenance, energy costs for transport of fuels, etc.
I was in the Keys in a townhall meeting when everything went down between the residents and Oxitec. I just remember the Oxitec management and scientists, with their British accents and their old school suits, really stood out like cartoon villains.

What everyone wanted was more studies and data to assure the ecosystem wouldn't get screwed up, and basically it came down to a chicken and the egg problem. Oxitec knew they needed more data, but they couldn't produce the data until it was released in the Keys.

I don't anyone at the meeting was anti-science, they were just not convinced Oxitec had the well-being of the residents in mind.
I don’t think that’s what I’m saying at all.

I’m saying that a new kid is not a no-brainer net gain for society. There is clearly an environmental cost to adding more high-consuming people to the planet. See: the planet.

I never said that killing people is good for the environment. While (possibly) technically true, it’s not an argument I’m making.

My argument: Cars are bad for the environment, so maybe ride a bike.

Your attempt to twist my argument: You said cars are bad for the environment so you are saying to destroy all cars.
I wonder how this is different from Lambda@Edge.
I take steps to avoid dying from a car accident (wearing a seatbelt and not drunk driving) and, hopefully, am not suicidal. I also try to eat healthy and exercise to avoid the many ways your diet and lack of exercise can kill you.

So why is it weird to take steps to avoid dying of a preventable deadly pandemic?

Men Clamming Up. Why a female founder might not get the same advice as her peer
Simple: it's just celebrity gossip and last I checked this wasn't People magazine.

Just because it's about Gates doesn't mean it's interesting or relevant for this site.
Equating this with theft is disingenuous at best.
Any hours in the air are a net gain for a pilot. Period.
Very true.

GPT-3 (and everything like it) is the perfect tool for SEO spam and filling out college papers with blather if you're confident no person is actually reading it.

It's impressive. No, really, it's an incredible simulacrum. But it's also just a slightly more practical version of the infinite monkeys with typewriters thought experiment.
And it would be hypocritical of the fired parties to join a place as restrictive (and oppressive?) as Apple. Not to mentioned the garden, the wall etc.
It's definitely worth getting a gallery working. I'm absolutely the target market for this and I really want to see it in action... but not quite enough to checkout code, run yarn and get the demos working on my own laptop.
Neither. If you're looking to break into houses, you're not going door to door testing locks.
I like the idea, but it's seems a little premature to show it, since there's very little information. For example, what is the supported subset? Are there any divergences in behavior? (for example, are the dicts always ordered?)

Also, just wondering how modular it is. How hard would it be to add another target, say Javascript?
I know so many people in the bay who will quit if they are forced to return to work... There's no way people are going back to working at the office.

I personally used to commute 3 hours every day to get to work from SF... I'm never doing this again, no matter how much you pay me.
> Well, unless you put "http(s)://" in front of it.

Go with "https://www.burrito.services/" and make it blue and underlined, just to be safe. I'm kind of kidding, but I also kind of suspect the blue font and underline would probably be more immediately recognizable for many people than the HTTPS protocol prefix.

Show HN: I fetched remote jobs from Who is hiring in May 2021
I know the land use disaster in the SF Bay Area, and much of it comes from allowing the community around a piece of property a say in how it's used.

It turns out that what he community does say when given a voice is NO!
It's super simple, and probably needs some improvements, but here it is:

I fetched all comments from "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2021)" thread. You can use 4 initial filters:

1. fully remote (comment contains "fully-remote" or "fully remote")

2. hybrid (comment contains "hybrid")

3. bootstrapped ("bootstrapped")

4. vc-funded (" VC")

These remote companies who already have a profile on my site are first in the list. They also have a "view profile" button so you can see more info about them (like where their remote team is located, which benefits they offer, etc).

This is my version 0.1, so ideas for improvements are very welcome.

A few questions on my mind right now:

1. I first thought that I'll hide the comment by default and unhide it with JS when you click on the company name, but then there's not much to see first without clicking (how to I decide on what to click, just based on the company name?)

2. I'll see which filters I can add. Location would be interesting. US/Europe/Worldwide, but the data is in the form of comments that doesn't have a real structure.
You can download the Winamp skin from https://archive.org/details/winampskins_Utena_-_Pink_Utena Still no details there about who to credit though.
I don't believe that Google will do a return to the office, they have too many employees who would rather quit. Wait for it...
Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. Too good to be true :-/
I encourage everyone to read up on it themselves. Other commenters have already pointed out this species is invasive everywhere outside Africa, constitutes only a tiny fraction of the mosquito population where they exist, and doesn't fill any meaningful ecological role anywhere.

> considering this has never been done before

But that's the point, it kind of has. Countless species are going extinct all the time. The only thing different about this case is it's deliberate and using a scary sounding means.

>I imagine heating and cooling a building with hundreds of people in it is much more efficient than heating and cooling all their homes all day.

What about the 20 mile commutes most of them have? That infrastructure and fuel use has to be added into the equation.
You're exactly right. I'm afraid I'm guilty of commenting before even reading the article, sorry.

Bankers aren't usually involved at the very early / seed rounds.

I have traditionally worked on M&A transactions rather than capital raises, but to answer your question fees are usually determined as a % of the amount raised, subject to a minimum—which again is why it only makes it economical to hire a banker at later stages. Generally we look to precedent fees as a general guideline and then negotiate from there with the client depending on specifics.
I was the same, and ended up accepting the 3h per day commute for lots of money. Never again. I'd rather be poor.
I hold/held the opinion. I've asked several of my doctor friends what they think of a future like this. They are all resoundingly pessimistic, due to the false positives they think would result and a general sense that it would result in unnecessary interventions.

It made some sense to me, but ultimately considered it would work out for the greater good.
It would be equally as sourced, though.
I had to rewrite a letter for someone the other day and used Google Docs for the first time in a while. I was struck by how often it made autocomplete suggestions and how good they were: not just stock phrases (“Thank you in advance for your prompt attention...”) but substantive text, too.

This kind of help with the mechanics of composition and usage, however, is a far cry from the critical thinking needed to be an effective advocate, expositor, or entertainer. There’s more to being a writer than making plausible sentences and paragraphs.
They're often presented as part of an all hands meeting where you can take questions and address concerns though, not blasted to the public at the same time that internal employees have heard them.

I've been involved in relaying 'big news' more than a few times, and the most common way to address it is to inform people directly affected first (if applicable), then the company at large, then the public. You never do any of those steps simultaneously or out of order.
How to make a simple bevel effect using inner shadows in SwiftUI
There was some speculation on Blind that it's a technique to ensure the transaction completes. So, it's a hedge against obstacles during closing.

Don’t tell me they are paying you enough where your spouse doesn’t have to work!
I wonder of the same mechanism that allow mosquitoes to transfer disease also works as a vaccination for animals?

Email: hiimdoublej@gmail.com

Embarked on this amazing adventure (so far) of web developing since 2018. Started from building small/basic content serving monolithic applications to more complex systems with multiple layers/microservices involved. Having worked with a large legacy code base, I take pride in making things as efficient as possible with a practical approach through query/application profilers.
Fluent in both English/Chinese.
Interested in backend/full-stack/SRE opportunities.
Casualties of Your Own Success (2018)
Sure but I thought we were just talking about office heating and cooling.

Let’s add the medical costs of everyone being morbidly obese from work from home and the Covid 15 becoming the Covid 50 lbs. :)
Why did you do it before?
> it does more good then harm

This is an oversimplification. If used as a limited last resort it can do more good than harm (which is why e.g. the WHO still recommends using it). DDT is very effective and has certainly saved a lot of lives by preventing malaria infections. But if used carelessly it can do a lot of harm, and various groups of experts who have studied the question have come to the conclusion that its use should be dramatically curtailed, and replaced where possible by other methods of malaria control.

DDT causes fertility problems, birth defects, cancer, etc. to humans, as well as environmental damage.

(Malaria also kills a ton of people, and we should be investing more resources in fighting it, ideally without resorting to heavy DDT use.)
How do you deal with idiot drivers though?
Visual immersion is cool, but can these platforms do something about audio? Depending on what people use, the quality and the loudness is all over the place. Yeah, I could feed Zoom audio into a DAW, but that seems overkill.
What are they going to go do instead? I feel like this is what everyone says to try and hope it stays that way. The whole world may not be able to work from home.

All those people in the Bay may have a tough time with bills when they quit...
> Despite this CWT implementation runs on GPU and this “advanced” FFT runs on JS, CWT is about 50-100x slower.

Sounds like a really crappy implementation of CWT. Besides this, the mother wavelet used was not specified, so maybe the author doesn't really know much about CWT.
> I personally used to commute 3 hours every day to get to work from SF

Honest question: at that point why not move closer to work? Or get a job at any number of companies closer to home that are desperate for talent?

The whole point of enduring SFBA rent is that there’s dozens of tech jobs at every corner.
Inc-Query | Operations (not-dev) | Full-time | REMOTE [US/Europe/APAC] | https://inc-query.com

Small, profitable, rapidly growing, fully remote tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Director exercises 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time

2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects

3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

This is not a software engineering role, but some coding familiarity is required. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

If you're interested in learning more, shoot me (the founder) a note with either your resume and/or LinkedIn: hn2 [at] <our-domain-from-above>. You'd be joining a bunch of other HNers who work here.

Yes I post this most months because we are growing like crazy! Please include "survey" somewhere in your email so I know it's not spam
The counterargument to this is that Aedes aegypti form a small proportion of the mosquito population and ecological niche in general.

The larger concern is that mosquitoes bred by the same company are reaching adulthood and breeding new generations in greater numbers than projected[1][2]

This irks me more than anything.

Why should the employee give 2 weeks notice but the employer can unemploy you between 11am and noon? I know it’s professional. So, let’s do the professional thing - give me 2 weeks of notice or 2 weeks of pay if you’re concerned about security.

There are all kinds of asymmetries. 55 mins to interview the candidate, btw do you have any questions for us? You’ve got 5 mins.
The Repeat Player vs. The One-Shot Player

(I don't know how good this source is.)

Ideally this dynamic would also mean that defense lawyers and norms would get better over time instead of atrophying.
What is so horrible or kafkaesque about that? Prosecuting death penalty cases is hard and politically contentious. It also not a necessity, as you can secure life imprisonment sentences with much less effort. It makes sense that only those places committed to the practice will continue it.
I would assume some limiting factors here are:

- the speed of end to end tests
- the flakiness of end to end tests
- the coupling to the user interface
- the fact that specifications for practical applications can be very complex, with know way of knowing the spec is accurate

That being said, I think this approaches the platonic ideal of how to test applications. We may get better at synthesizing programs from specifications - the hardware field does it with FPGAs.

I have been really into TLA+ since diving into it, it seems to provide such an elegant model of computation. From what I’ve read, TLA+ was created to address limitations of LTL for large, practical applications. So that will also be interesting to see how it plays out.

Kudos for trying though, I’m interested in seeing what comes out of this path.
Huh? What about him?

A blood test may help the diagnosis and treatment of depression
This sort of thing is really impressive. But at least for me, it stops being impressive and starts becoming tedious pretty quick. Again at least for me, it's important to know that I am capable of doing hard/tedious/impressive things, but it's not important to keep doing them over and over. Because the tedium just kills it.
I'm a huge supporter of LVT but one thing I can't get around: they're hugely unpopular with voting demographics, ie landowners.

Suppose we implement a LVT. Housing costs go down and we lift a ton of people out of poverty. Great! Now everyone can afford to own land. But as soon as they do of course they go and vote in tax limits (eg the hugely popular Prop 13) and other policies that incentivze land speculation.

My understanding is that this happened in New Zealand where in the 90s they eliminated a great LVT and replaced it with income and sales tax.
Is that 3 hours one way, or total 3 hours for to and fro?

Technically this worked pretty well when we had unexplored continents. If Elon has his way, maybe we'll soon-ish have Mars.
> On the other hand, people who bought a house last year are far less likely than the general population to buy a house this year.

Is this even true? This is a non-obvious claim where the exact opposite phenomenon is allegedly true of other seemingly one-time purchases (e.g. cars, household appliances).
Obligatory comment: not everyone likes working from home. Personally I loved my old office and my commute wasn’t bad. I have an ideal wfh situation now and I would still rather go to the office. Maybe I’m weird.
Japan is opening its first ever esports gym
Thanks Nate, I really appreciate the reply, and just want to say how much I appreciate your (and your team's) work on Highrise. You poured everything into it and it's sad to read what happened at the end.
I’ve worked remote for 12 years. There are drawbacks, but the quality of life improvement is huge.

I appreciate your comment and the GP for tactfully expressing feelings similar to my own. Pollution from automobiles, the health impacts of long commutes, the economic and social costs of high paying jobs concentrating in relatively few places; it’s just sad to see how desperate everyone is to get back to the unhealthy normal.
Maybe its time to implement a system where WFH is for 4 days a week and on the 5th day, you (your team / managers / higherups) meet at some place, say a coffee shop / park.
The death penalty requires a jury to vote for it (usually unanimously) in most if not all US states.
I think WFH choice is a spectrum. At one end its "I will work remote only" and the other end its "I want to be physically present in office". And then there are in between like 80% wfh but 20% for important meetups/discussions.

All this is fine but what happens when in a team of 5, 1 person prefers WFH all the time and 2 want in office and others in-between. Its really awkward to have meetings where majority team is in a room white-boarding and one guy/gal joining in remote. Also the person working from home will miss a lot of ad-hoc conversations/corridor talk.

Offcourse all of the above does not matter if one's nature of job is not dependent on others to large extent and then that person can definitely wfh much more effectively.
