That sounds like the exact thing that Microsoft was slapped with in the 90s. Microsoft used operating system functionality for their browser that 3rd parties did not have access to. Microsoft was forced to open this stuff up.

Apple regularly leverages operating system calls that 3rd parties do not have access to.

Have you tried Blink Mosh shell? I’ve tried them both and blink seems lightyears ahead of prompt. Maybe I didn’t give it enough time when I tried it, but prompt just felt bulkier IMO, which surprised me because Panic makes such great products. Could you elaborate on why you love prompt?
I think this could actually work. For a generation that has grown up with visual-first mediums, it makes sense that they would be able to express who they are better in video form than on a piece of paper.

I could totally see recruiters swiping through videos to find candidates. The only potential downside I could see is obviously racial/gender bias being exacerbated or attractiveness on camera entering the sourcing equation for candidates.

That said, those issues exist even today with traditional resumes, so one could argue it's not really making the problem worse and we're going to have to solve that either way.
The bay area is all kinds of insane in many ways. :-)

Bunch of babies.
Pretty absurd how much of a step up the Falcon 9 is from previous launch vehicles. Landing a booster seems far harder than just doing a regular launch and dumping it in the ocean, and SpaceX can land 3 of them at once with the Falcon heavy. And they did all of that without relying on government funding. Blows my mind. Maybe I'm overestimating the difficulty of landing a rocket on a floating platform though.
Uh... literally every manufacturer does restricted availability of parts.
Amazon published a whitepaper on Sidewalk's Privacy and Security:

- the gateway doesn't know much about your endpoints.

If you're concerned about privacy, also look at the application of the protocol: Amazon's Ring Security Cameras are meant to be used in a Facebook-Like hobbyist surveillance community:

This is an industry wide issue, any bozo/hustler (pardon my french) can get into the management track, get promoted as long as he keeps the one guy above him happy. In some cases like the one you mentioned the guy above does not want to admit his mistake so the bozo keeps on thriving.

Whereas over in the technical track, the difficulty of getting promoted becomes exponentially harder, you need to have patents, publish papers, come up with new product lines etc etc

But over in the management track, its a regular old boys club, you can decimate whole teams, bury good products into the ground and still come out unscathed.

So is the solution that we need more technical folks to go into management ... I dont know ... any thoughts?
That does sound interesting! It's a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I'm looking for a new project. Feel free to send me an email (in bio) if you want to chat about this more.

If this is true, we should already have data to support it (since many businesses have already fully transitioned back to the office). I haven’t seen any such data.

IMO, whether remote work is here to stay depends on two questions: 1) Where are employees more productive 2) How much of a pay cut are employees willing to take to work from home?

The answer to the first question is pretty clear to me. We will be more productive in the office, on average. Primarily bc it’s human nature to exert the least effort possible to obtain resources, and so over time, employees will find more ways to slack from home while looking productive. Though there are exceptions, companies will base their decisions on the average productivity of each potential policy.
There are often classes of employees where external email is completely unnecessary. I know of one financial institution who has implemented this.

It wouldn't work well for many employees though. For example, try signing up for a legitimate service and guessing what email address the confirmation link will be sent from.
My interpretation was that they were already looking to quit but didn't do so because of uncertainty of the pandemic. Supposedly, when the uncertainty resolves people in the resignation backlog will actually quit.

This. If I had to put numbers on it, I'd probably say: 4th grade = 250 pages (excluding social skills); 8th grade = 1000 pages; 12th grade = 2000 pages; bachelor's = 10,000 pages; PhD = 15,000 pages

Then about 100 pages(?) for each year of work experience.

It's part of mobile phone standards to accept several emergency numbers (at least 112 and 911, I think 999 as well), and translate to the local number. That's not always doable with landlines as it might conflict with a longer number, and some countries have short numbers that might conflict as well, but I think that's rare too.
I think parent's advice is solid. Covid sits at this sweet spot where it's not that bad for young folks, but it's easily transmissible and mortality increases exponentially with age. Which means certain demographics will be hit disproportionally hard.

At the same time only a small fraction, say 10-20%, of the population has had a Covid infection. So while some are hit hard, at the same time it might not affect you and the people around you too much.

Maybe ask your family doctor/general practitioner, or you have a nurse in your network or wider family, or somebody working in a hospital or care home? Also speaking to older folks like parents or grand-parents can be helpful to get another perspective.

I think there is some percentage of people who actually purposefully would create engagement-worthy postings...just to attract attention, thinking that it will suffice in bringing in eyeballs that they can sift through. (A tweak of the old adage that there's supposedly no such thing as bad publicity.) I'm not a fan of this because it likely would not attract those employers who would be an ideal fit. But i know some folks who likely do that with intent.

Sure, that can be designed and implemented with some effort...let's say 2-3 weeks time.

I just had a flash of epiphany, I think the main reason for Medium's popularity is it's viewed as just another social network, so a perception that if you use it then you'll have much (readily available) bigger audience than using Wordpress/blogspot/etc. It's the reddit of blogging platform.
The others like dev.to or hackernoon are only popular to a niche like techies & developers because that's their targets, but Medium aims to general public.

First of all, because the UX is very single-activity oriented (the iPad has a limited amount of multitasking). "desktop/laptop" multi-window/multi-app WIMP interface requires lots of active processes.

This is an upper middle class fantasy. It’s a very small slice of the population (though a big chunk of HN) that has the luxury to just quit a job and look for something better.

Most middle class and lower run a very tight money in=money out and can’t afford to be without work for more than a few weeks and certainly won’t resign without something else already lined up.
Medium is a blog-focused social network, basically a "Twitter with no limit posts", with its real advantage being that it has become trendy, probably due to its initial closed phase, to post there.

I am REALLY curious about home prices during this coming period.

Are we due for a correction down or was the 15-20% overnight housing cost jump a correction of house prices being too low (yes, absurd but I’m serious). A perfect storm of Millennials finally buying homes with low interest rates (?). COVID just jump started it.

Who knows. Either way:

- Huge amount of people fleeing to suburbs regretting their new commute times is likely.

- Huge amount of people who can’t carry their new housing bill and find remote work like planned.

Seems inevitable. Either way, I think housing cost will be one of the best indicators if remote is here to stay or not.
What's amazing is that .NET has only gotten better since then. I remember hearing about Atwood talk about tools he built himself that are more or less baked into the ASP.NET now.
It can employ, but you do not have to (you can turn off all runtime checks and use formal verification only, something that Rust cannot do (statically verify correctness the same way you can with SPARK using GNATprove)), it can all be done at compile-time with Ada/SPARK.

> These runtime checks[1] are costly, both in terms of program size and execution time. It may be appropriate to remove them if we can statically ensure they aren't needed at runtime, in other words if we can prove that the condition tested for can never occur.

> This is where the analysis done by GNATprove comes in. It can be used to demonstrate statically that none of these errors can ever occur at runtime. Specifically, GNATprove logically interprets the meaning of every instruction in the program. Using this interpretation, GNATprove generates a logical formula called a verification condition for each check that would otherwise be required by the Ada (and hence SPARK) language.

Additionally, in Ada/SPARK, you can formally verify tasks (concurrency), too: https://docs.adacore.com/spark2014-docs/html/ug/en/source/co....

Moreover:

> SPARK builds on the strengths of Ada to provide even more guarantees statically rather than dynamically. As summarized in the following table, Ada provides strict syntax and strong typing at compile time plus dynamic checking of run-time errors and program contracts. SPARK allows such checking to be performed statically. In addition, it enforces the use of a safer language subset and detects data flow errors statically.

Contract programming:

- Ada: dynamic

- SPARK: dynamic / static

Run-time errors:

- Ada: dynamic

- SPARK: dynamic / static

Data flow errors:

- Ada: -

- SPARK: static

Strong typing:

- Ada: static

- SPARK: static

Safer language subset:

- Ada: -

- SPARK: static

Strict clear syntax:

- Ada: static

- SPARK: static

Additionally, safe pointers in SPARK: https://blog.adacore.com/using-pointers-in-spark and https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.07047.

Amazon certainly does treat user privacy seriously. When is the last time you have heard of any data leaks from Amazon?

There seems to be no greater hive of scum and villainy in technology than the IoT space. Between security issues, obsolescence by (lack of) firmware updates, and companies curtailing services that make any of this stuff work after a few years the whole thing seems like a shit show that showcases all the worst tendencies in modern tech.

This announcement fits that mold nicely. A "service" where an IoT vendor piggybacks their own mesh-ish network on top of products you bought from them.
Peloton seems to be going through a cycle of its own this year (wink wink)
Anecdotally, I'm already seeing this at my tech company. A few coworkers have quit without a next job lined up in order to take a sabbatical.

This past year, if you've been working at a US tech company it's been easy to save enough money to just quit for a little while, and the fact that people haven't been able to buy things like childcare or vacations means they may really feel the need to.
But how many of them have these well paid jobs with low expenses?
Isn't there now a mountain of evidence, thanks to the pandemic, that remote employees were in fact more productive?

Why should remote employees take a pay cut at all? After all their employer is saving a great deal of money on office space.

I agree. There are a lot of very vocal sub 40 year olds who complain about their health/bodies. Myself being one of them. It's because we feel we shouldnt have to worry about this stuff until much later in life.

I'd wager than the majority of reasonably healthy people don't have any major health/body issues until their 40's when the metabolism starts to slow significantly and their former healthy lifestyles have to change to maintain the same level of health.
The SAE J1772 standard is good for 400kw, no?

I mean the Falcon 9 is fantastic and all, but considering the amount of NASA money they get I don't think it's right to say they didn't rely on government funding. Rather, they probably have the advantage of not being under the direct thumbs of government accountants (No offense to any accountants, you're the real heros).
It is unpleasant to contemplate the deaths from Challenger and Columbia. However, we should be excited about being able to do more in space with vehicles and operational procedures that are safer and cheaper than the shuttle program.

I do not remember the exact course, it was a specific class offered by a martial arts studio but it wasn't part of their regular martial arts classes.

I did a search for "adrenaline re-imprinting" and it looks like these folks are doing the same or something very similar: https://carpediemselfdefence.com/adrenal/

- - - -

edit: replying to bombcar and phenkdo:

This wasn't repetitive training, the whole class took only a few hours, we didn't learn fancy martial arts moves just a few very basic responses, the core of it was inducing controlled adrenaline rushes and then consciously responding in coherent ways which then (somehow) get "programmed" into the (?) amygdala to be activated automatically when the stimuli recur.

In the later stages of the class a big guy puts on one of those bear-proof suits and comes at you. I saw small ladies beat the everlovin shit outta that bear-man. Like fractured or broken bones and concussions delivered (virtually! The guy in the suit just gets rattled.)

The weird thing is you don't break your own bones. Adrenaline is a hellofa drug.

Yes: http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

However, I'm just answering your question, not endorsing that per se. Here's some skepticism, which I am also not endorsing, just balancing and emphasizing my lack of endorsement: https://munknee.com/debunking-validity-shadowstats-inflation...

Personally I suspect the answer is somewhere in between. Arguably it's not even a well-defined question. Clearly something like inflation and deflation can exist, even across large time periods, but there may be no single number that can ever capture it accurately. I am somewhat reminded of the difficulties of trying to fix an absolute reference frame in physics, especially when trying to fix it to locations on Earth over large periods of time.

This is the takeaway - it has to be REAL and not just boil down to a few emails and some seminars.

And the only real way to make it real is for management, starting at the Board, being willing to take some pain - real pain like "we didn't get X done because we were concerned about employee wellbeing" instead of the "pain" of a budget item for some consulting company.
Well, GC languages can’t really allow arbitrary pointer arithmetic (because it would make GC useless/unsafe), but languages that can do explicit stack—allocation are numerous, like C#, Go, I’m sure D as well. Nim also has an optional GC, so there are languages all around the spectrum.
