YES! And I have been doing it for the last 9 years.

In fact I recently went down to 3 days a week for 60% salary and that's even better (although I do use the other day for other work sometimes if it's something I'd like to do).

Main benefit has been increased time with my daughter.

My 2 cents for anyone trying it:

1) Take Monday off - everyone is still getting stuff together on Monday so it won't be so disruptive. Plus, you won't hate Mondays anymore :)

2) Be very strict with the day off. Never compromise on it, at least for the first few months. Make sure everyone understands that you are absolutely not working and cannot work that day and things will be OK. If you don't it will cause confusion and many problems.
Agreed, but the functionality you see as a dev still needs an implementation layer, and it will likely be containers. Knative is relatively mature and offers something like the experience you are describing.
Kafka is works very well when you have a IF "receive-this" then that kind of problem.

I find a bit complicated using streams / queues for everything because it is a paradigm shift (turning the database inside out).

BUT when you have a clear use case like ingestion -> refinement step 1-> refinement step 2 it is a _very_ natural way to do stuff with the added benefit I can have as many parallel workers as topic partitions.
> everything listed is easily Google-able

Everything in a CS curriculum is easily Google-able.

Being functionally illiterate at the command line is harmful for productivity, so I think it's deserving of some in-class attention.
I actually hold the opposite opinion: For an advanced class such as AI (I assume you at least need to work on Data Structures before that), students should be comfortable to learn whatever language and tools they need to succeed in a couple of weeks, and even less if needed. They should be able to grasp the basic in a few days and gradually improve their knowledge about the tools and languages along the way. After all I have never seen a univeristy course that assumes excellent grasp of a language.

It is very sad that we need to take two entry level programming language classes in the first year. My university does not allow me to remove it as it's the pre-requisite of pretty much everything else. And I can't "prove" that I know Java, which I didn't but I'm confident that I can get the basics going in one day and the basic-medium stuffs in a week because I already know some C, C++ and Python.

The only class that I think should teach programming languages should be a PL class. An introductive one usually teaches three or more languages in one shot with each an example of a paradigm.

BTW the zero-credit courses sound like an excellent idea. Students do not get credits but still get education out of them. It's a great practice.
4 days per week for 100% salary. Those 20% need to be taken from dividends of the parasitic class.
Scuba diving just became more interesting
My sense is, it's one less day, but not necessarily 20% less productivity. That is, 4 days on and 3 off helps to refresh the mind and the body.

So at 80% the employer is probably getting 85%, perhaps more.

Finally, it's worth considering, for companies that honor the standard Monday holidays (in the USA and UK) those are already 4 day weeks. If that's 10 holidays, we're now only talking 40-ish days. If days were 8.5 hrs not 8 That's another ~10 days. Now you're around 30 days.

Maybe that's a number you can sell? I'm certainly trying to do so.
Ironically, it plays off of ignorance in either option.

The DOJ could bolster credibility of itself to the ignorant by saying “thats right criminals you cant hide” even if the DOJ never got anything.
Servers of Colonial Pipeline Hacker Darkside Forced Down: Security Firm
Thanks for sharing your experience. Not to dig too deep into details, but what would you say your primary motivation was in your 'young and dumb' days? Were you curious about it, was it a statement, was there an allure?
Right, it's "just" a VM like Multipass which is another alternative we use in the faasd project for developing against containerd on Macs. You need a full Linux host.

https://blog.alexellis.io/containerd-development-multipass/
People who work 5 days aren't really working just 100%, they complain that they are asked to stay late and work weekends with little or no comp. (I.e. comp days that are more vacation days they can never actually schedule.)

It is actually easier to penalize a company that makes you work more than agreed upon when the agreement is less than 100%.
Makefiles can actually be quite dynamic, so a program merely trying to figure out the list of target has to execute code. For example put this in a Makefile and do `make <TAB>`, the file will be created (no need to press enter):

VALUE := $(shell touch /tmp/something)
I'm seeing statements about the payments server and the money associated with the payments server, but (at the risk of using an analogy) it seems like they've lost their "petty cash" box, not their main account. Surely they were wise enough to only put a small amount of money in the payments server. The bulk of their cash would be in a separate account (which wasn't lost).
This kind of attack is growing beyond what I've imagined, and is quickly becoming the more significant epidemic of the world today. As soon as Colonial Pipeline decided to appease the attackers, it paved the way for more targeted infrastructure attacks, since the earliest ones were so successful.

I don't work in cybersecurity, but I wonder if this problem is merely a symptom of the lack of proper security standards that have been running these industries for years, or whether this is a new type of vuln that was just "discovered" recently and no one has any idea how it works.
I agree with your assessment. I am on call for a week once every few months. Sometime it’s light and still get work done other time all we do is field calls and put out fires. Normally we work 40 hours, sometimes more sometimes less. Saying I was only going to work 32 hours and not be available 1 day a week would not work very well. I suspect the employer would win by paying you less but the employee would end up working the same, sometimes more sometimes less. At the end of the day the work needs to be done no matter how long it takes. But I also work 2 jobs full time analyst / programmer and TA CS courses so I might just be an outlier. I make enough to only work 1 job, but I like helping students. The extra money does help and I would not do it for free. So short answer is NO I would not work 4 days a week for 80% pay.
Thanks! I'm definitely often guilty of conflating the stdblib and the language.

I prefer to think of it as programers have used strings to represent too many non-string things in the past. It's nice to look at a function sig and see Path/camino::Utf8Path/bytestr::ByteStr and see what they actually plan on doing with it.
They didn't drop the ball. Much like Netflix, once they were successful people started demanding more and more to show their content, which eventually escalated into failure to reach licensing deals.

No just something effecting MTV of course. There are TV shows that no longer air, and have no DVD release, because the costs to license the music in them again is prohibitive: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090117/0537253446.shtml
It's more about how strongly typed the language itself is. Rust isn't necessarily harder to learn than a scripting language, but a lot of it's syntax is dependent on how well you understand programming fundamentals. For example, you can't just spin up an integer at will in Rust: you need to specify how many bits you're using, and manually sign or unsign each value to manipulate it accordingly. That's the stuff that will filter out JS writers and Python devotees.

It's not really an insult so much as it is commentary about the language. The focus on zero cost abstraction and correctness at compilation means that it's harder for a Rust dev to write a slow program than it is for a Python or Java dev. Again, not necessarily because of any fundamental issues with the other two languages, but rather that Rust is a pickier language.
I see! I misread
s7 Scheme is an awesome piece of kit. One .c file, one .h file. By far the easiest feature-complete Scheme to roll into an existing C-based project, IMO. I think it also works reasonably well if compiled to wasm, but don't quote me on that.

Looking only at the parts quoted in krebs’s post, it doesn’t really stick out to me as either American or British English. They use double quotation marks, for example - American - but leave the trailing comma outside, which is British.

Other than that, there are no giveaway spellings or idioms. It could just as easily be someone whose exposure to English is dominated by technical documentation, which tends to use mostly American style.
I push everything to remotes as well, either GitHub, GitLab or just over ssh to a private server.
Yes. planning to ask soon to my compagny.
Highway self-driving is not the computational challenge that general insane-city / local street / surface street driving is. With mild convergent infrastructure (better marking policies for construction, mesh networking or broadcast messaging about road hazards and bottlenecks, etc) it will become pretty safe.

And the trucking industry will push it quickly and probably within a fairly developed regulatory structure.

And really that's all I want out of self-driving. Sleep or work in a car on a divided highway. That's really it.

That one achievement will make short/medium trains, all intercity busses, and probably most airline flights under 400 miles not really that desirable. If my self-driving EV car gets me there even at 60 mph and I get to fill my car with crap, and I have the car when I get there, and I can load it with a family...
We don't have an architecture document at the moment, but here's a high-level summary from @karterk's comment from another thread:

At the heart of Typesense is a `token => documents` inverted index backed by an Adapative Radix Tree (https://db.in.tum.de/~leis/papers/ART.pdf), which is a memory-efficient implementation of the Trie data structure. ART allows us to do fast fuzzy searches on a query.

All indices are stored in-memory, while the documents are stored on disk on RocksDB. All underlying data structures were carefully designed, benchmarked and optimized to exploit cache locality and utilize all cores efficiently.
People talk all the time about air changes per hour. Even a recent Nature.com article only discussed this metric. However, if you look at suppliers of heat recovery ventilation units, a different metric is liters/sec/person.
About 10 liter/sec/person seems to be pretty good for commercial spaces. For home environments people can adapt to smells a little better, so the requirements can be lower.

Also: heat recovery percentages don't always include the energy required for forced air movement through the exchanger.
It's as real as the iPhone coin cell batteries they say they can charge in just seconds.
Let's say you hire two engineers, both at 50% salary. They will be strictly worse than a single engineer on 100% salary. To make it worthwhile for a small company you're looking at more like a 50% discount for 4 days work. Not a good deal imo.

Interesting accuracy, I'm curious about the source. Fascinating topic in general.

If you look at "terrorism" more as a whole than just the people going and doing the bombings and similar, like the ones raising children, taking care of the villages and such, I think you'll find that they pretty much end up like any other society.

What are your thoughts on the various Crypto-tax services? For the first time in a while I'm going to have to deal with Crypto on my 2021 returns and my plan was to use on of the SaaS' out there for it. We are talking <100 (probably <40) trades max for my use-case and they seemed to be a good choice (as they import trades from major exchanges and spit out the needed IRS form) to use in addition to my normal tax preparing software.

Also, if it's not too much to ask, how should one handle crypto that they mined 6+ years ago, never declared (it was worth <$100 at the time of mining), and now want to cash out? My understanding is I was supposed to declare it as income way back then and now I would just pay capital gains (long term in my case) taxes on it. I'm happy to file some kind of an addendum but is it needed for <$100?
The fact that everyone's first answer when prompted "how do we wind down this huge pile of cryptocurrency?" is convert it to fiat makes me skeptical on all the long-term ambitions from promoters.
I love that this always comes up, no gaming on Linux will never be as easy as Windows.

It works about 90% of the time, but in that 10% there are probably a couple of games you're just not going to be able to get working. If you're serious about gaining, there's no reason to just not buy a Windows license. You can duelboot
That's fair and I guess highlights that I wasn't thinking about exploratory writing or even fiction. It is definitely very different if you aren't starting the writing process with an end in mind.
A few years ago (before I switched to full remote in 2018), I wondered something similar and I even went as far as wanting half time/pay: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14808178

Ever since I went full remote, and this was in 2018 well before the pandemic, I no longer feel like working full time is a hindrance to my life in general (outside of work) and I can still do most things I want to do. In the age of pandemic and working remote being the norm, I imagine the interest for reducing work days is less intense than before for other folks too.

Having said that, I really like what you're doing, pushing for a new way to work; even if that doesn't become a standard, it would be nice to see it become an option.

The common responses you get really make me sad as well. The first two at least made an attempt to give you a reason for rejection, the last one is just so infuriating. "We are only looking for full-time employees" as a response basically just says "Go away, don't waste my time".

I'll say though, from the perspective of the company, almost no company is ever going to receive a cold call/email from you and say, hey, this suggestion sounds good, let's change our entire company culture based on this one random person's opinion. If this movement indeed gets traction, it'll take companies lots of time to change. It's similar to remote work (before the pandemic). Remote has been viable for a long time, but it took companies consciously making a huge effort to do so (barring a pandemic that forces them to).
You'd have to sandbox the analyzer. Let it run arbitrary code but don't let it do IO. That can be pretty tricky to do for a language not designed to be sandboxed.

Safest way would probably be something hilarious like having the analyzer compiled to WASM and ran in node.js.
Yeah, I think going around telling employers that you want to get paid 80% salary to work at 80% capacity is a huge mistake. You’re giving up your negotiating position and won’t get offered good jobs. You will probably end up getting paid less than half as much as you could have if you didn’t mention to your employer that you aren’t that into working. On the other hand, you can find jobs that pay really well but have a chill work-life balance.

You're going to do great. Just steer the ship back in the direction of the elevator pitch experience. After that 20-30 second experience, if people are interested in more (provide Getting Started at the end of all of that, not the beginning,) they will click on it and want to learn more about what you have to offer.

Avoid putting things in people's face before they've gotten to know you. You're not trying to be a food blog throwing pop-ups in people's faces about how they need to subscribe to your newsletter. You're trying to be a competitor to Electron.

Here's what their website tells me what they do:

> Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

Ah! OK. I'm interested. And see how specific they are? Don't be vague. Don't say "web front-end," what do you mean? React? They then show me screenshots! Of what big companies built!

Then. They provide a Getting Started section. Not great, could be better. I want to see how it's used. But this is the bar. Be better than that bar.

Edit: Even Electron's site provides Getting Started at the end.
No one year cliff good.

New grant (assuming with new price) every year is a joke. Potential for rapid wealth growth is the reason many work for a startup in first place.
Roam's site[1] only mentions $165/yr. The 5 year plan is $500, but then... if you stop using it after a year, you would have paid $500 for 1 year of usage. If you're thinking of no lock-in, you need to see the monthly price, which is $15 month, way more expensive (for personal use) than anything notion has (free/$4/$8 per month)

Two things really stood out in this article. One is how brutal animal experimentation can be. The other is the opening line.
Of course most of this "advice" is intrinsically adversarial, if not to say just all-around dickheaded.

COVID does not constitute a natural experiment!

A useful natural experiment is when something changes in a way that can only (or at least almost entirely) affect your outcome by way of the cause you're interested in. In the cause and effect chain of A -> B -> C, if A affects B, but not C, then you can exploit wild things in A to learn about how B affects C. But if A affects C outside of B, you can't tell the effects apart.

COVID does not constitute a natural experiment!

It's a mantra that apparently needs repeating. The pandemic changed work from home. Work from home presumable changes productivity. The pandemic also changes productivity, so you can't tell where the pandemic-driven productivity changes are from more granularly. Learning anything that generalizes requires tremendous care.
Not more ridiculous than C++ on the frontend — which is typical if the frontend is a native GUI.
Thanks. Manafort seems to be a dirty player and I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in some shady businesses with people you shouldn't associate with, however that report is based on one line taken from a press release from the Treasure Department providing zero evidence for that claim.

I was offered to do this at my current job and I didn't take the offer. I feel I wouldn't really disconnect on the additional day off, so it'd be a full 20% pay cut without it really being a full 20% work cut.
As a developer of an Electron app to me a competing framework that doesn't bundle its own rendering engine doesn't make sense, why would I want to trade control over how my app is rendered for ~100MB of disk space?

I might as well just ship a website at that point, almost everything that makes Electron appealing comes from shipping your own rendering engine.
It's easy to say "basically zero chance" when we're armchair quarterbacks and not the ones in the hot seat.

I'm inclined to agree that our cyber-security apparatus is not up to the task, but it's also true that nobody has perfect OpSec, (and I'd guess there are few out there have deeper pockets to track down and make sure the perpetrators regret this, than the combination of US government + oil companies.)
Semi-Supervised Learning with Paws in TensorFlow
PAWS introduces a way to combine a small fraction of labeled samples with unlabeled ones during the pre-training of vision models. With its simple and unique approach, it sets SOTA in semi-supervised learning that too with far less compute and parameters.
