> If you "trust the science", it'll give you immunity, and you don't need to worry about me at all.

Me getting vaccinated protects more than just me. It protects, for example, those who cannot get vaccinated by limiting the spread of a disease. Your perspective could be (perhaps slightly unfairly) summarized as 'your child has leukemia and caught a cold from me, well that's THEIR problem not mine'

I do not understand, and refuse to accept, that absurdist shift towards individualism at the expense of all others. It makes no sense, it is often willfully blind to the realities of day to day interaction...and its just mean spirited.

Watching the anti-COVID vaccine folks has helped me realize this isn't about medicine or science or understanding...its about selfishness.
Most people I know who have families and live in suburbs have longer commutes (Toronto or Montreal).

> On top of that, sick days are much less frequent now I daresay.

But to be honest, that's fine/expected? There's a quite large range where I might not feel up to the commute/office (or not want to cough and sneeze at people - aside, I bet that's going to be more stigmatised in the near future) but up to doing what I can from the comfort of home where it doesn't matter that I'm curled up unshowered or whatever.

I did that a couple of times even when I went in to the office five days a week - gives me something to do other than lying in bed feeling sorry for myself or doing something and feeling guilty that it's not work, and gives my employer a bit of output even if it is less than 100% (which isn't the alternative, 0 is).
It is fascinating how much negative feedback the redesign is getting on HN. I am using it on Mac and Windows now and I think it is great! The Firefox design always felt very dated compared to Chrome, Safari and Edge. Not the case anymore :)
It's just someone prioritizing things differently. I would never commute more than 20-30 minutes (one way) pre-COVID. I will only work remotely from now on, maybe a scheduled day in the office every week for a killer opportunity with a resume-changing company.

But if you live in a HCOL area, and you want a yard, you're pretty much locked in to hour+ one-way commutes.
If a software module maybe has tests and maybe has contracts, I "reap the benefit" of not being able to rely on either.

Do you have in mind some technique to turn contracts into tests or tests into contracts automatically, in order to close the gaps in quality control?

> Overkill microcontrollers aren't that expensive anymore

I knew that this would be mentioned but I didn't want to write an extensive comment.

In many embedded markets, cents make the difference. Also, space constraints, power consumption, availability, etc., makes you reconsider overkillability/price relationship.

Someone will put a 16KB MSP430 in the BOM and there you go.

What I wouldn't buy is something like "hey, chips are cheaper, let use a prototyped javascript-system over a VM over an RTOS, just because".

> What's harder is to learn its pitfalls and the parts that are actually implementation-specific

Yes. There are tradeoffs, like in everything in embedded.

> It's probably faster to prototype something with micropython than C.

Personally I wouldn't know where to start with micropython.

Your exaggeration and dismissal is perfect evidence of your inability to empathize with the struggles of people you haven't met in real life.
I worked from home prior to the pandemic, then joined a company right at the start. I’m a “remote vet” having been doing this for five years, so I’ve been doing my best to help folks adapt (because it does take adaptation).

Ironically, today is our first day where the office here in LA is generally open, so I’m driving in at some point for the celebrations. Because I’m going in, I’m going to miss my son’s nighttime routine (which I’ve missed maybe 7 times in his 18 months).

The life choice of being able to be there for the development of my son is one that many fathers here in LA do not get to make. The commute alone would be coming 100% out of my time with him.

And, with that, I’ve gotta jet. Time to go run around and then go on our hour walk around the neighborhood. Remote may not be the best for everyone, but it’s certainly a wonderful addition to my life.

I don't like the removal of tab separators. Now all the background tabs kind of merge into one large mega tab :( for example - https://i.ibb.co/p4LWvtb/2021-06-01-19-12-43-3841x169.png

Yes, this is solved. I'm saying that there's another problem that needs to be solved too: control over data.

Regardless of what you use for hosting your own stuff, if you want to use a third-party SaaS as a user, they own the data. Want to make a document on Google Docs? That document lives on Google's servers, it's forever tied to their service and mined by them. There's no artifact you can hold on to, other than your user account.

What we need is a system where the data for that Google Docs document lives in a place you control - be it your own hardware, or some hosting you rent somewhere. It's the SaaS that should come to the data, and operate on it there. That way, if you lose your Google Docs account, or decide to edit the document with something else, you actually have that document, in its canonical form. Same for all other SaaS.
Yes, I should have added and verified your age. But none of that is a youtube-dl matter, there is no magic video download link hidden in the page source.
Exobiology is more accurate but less impressive -- it's chemicals not little green men.

UFOs are more inpressive (advanced flight tech, little green men) but fictional.

Since neither will ever affect the average non-exobiologist's real life on earth, being isn't negative factor.
Subjectively, commutes are bad in the US and getting worse, because housing is getting more expensive relative to wages. On top of that, we live in a car culture, and it's much easier to build more freeways and housing developments than figure out how people can sustainably work and live in employment centers.

The pandemic has done some of that figuring out for us.

Firefox's market share is already a rounding error. A change in focus to the browser (not saying that this is what's happening) could be nothing but an improvement or a no-op.

People are weird, somehow renting or borrowing a car for that 1% of use cases never comes up.

If you do a 1000 mile road-trip once a year while towing a sailboat, does your daily driver really need to be able to do it? Or could you drive something cheaper/smaller and use the money saved to rent a huge truck for that once a year thing?

But yea, I know many families who bought an EV for their second car. Then it became their primary car. And soon they had two EVs and no ICEs.

There are outliers where EVs aren't usable yet, but the new F-150 Lightning will fill a lot of those use-cases.

I use my work communications devices to communicate with colleagues when communicating in a work context.

I suppose some people may have employers that prohibit them from having personal communication devices in their place of residence, but that's going to be a very different high-security type environment anyway.

I don't have a problem with asking a colleague to give me their personal cell number on a work communications channel. I don't think I'd want to work in a place where doing so was prohibited.
We are using IDEMIX to enable the DCC and COVID testing to be used all over the country. This allows us to only disclose a tiny amount of information - in many cases just one of your initials an either your month or day of birth - whilst proving yourself to be low-risk for COVID.

The DCC itself contains a lot of information so it shouldn't be directly used outside of border or police checks. I can - technically - be used as the basis for issuing of Verified Credentials by other parties. For example by airports - with the privacy protected by their privacy policy.

Whether the law allows that is another question.. and IANAL..

I am miserable. I have to work for food, shelter, medical care, etc. I do get some othe material items, but usually they are very cheap things for hobbies. I just never have enough time to do the things I want to do because working for my necessities takes up too much of my time.
Be very careful with this. It can be dangerous for you. I had the same thing and also minimized it. Turns out that a sleep study showed I had serious sleep apnea.

>First of all, I do not see any indication that Russia or Belarus tries to get closer to the EU, rather the opposite.

Putin has stated multiple times that he intends to have better relations with the EU, and that the Commonwealth of Independent States needs to work towards that goal, so .. I'm guessing you're not paying attention to that, since it doesn't serve the narrative that Russia just wants to 'go it alone against the world'.

https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/putin-sa...

No, it wouldn't be good for the USA, but it would be great for Europeans and Russians to see this happen some day.

Russia would be a perfectly fine partner with the EU, and it seems to be orienting towards that goal in a future date - American agitprop notwithstanding.
The lack of tab separators and the poor contrast between the tab bar and the rest of the chrome are my biggest issues. Chrome has both tab separators and higher contrast between the tab section and the rest. And of course, the old Firefox design also has tab separators and very high contrast.
That is not all that is going on here and I suspect you know it. Rights are often in conflict. Insisting that a particular right you are personally fixated on trump all others is not a moral stance. It's narcissism dressed up in a noble cloak.

The fact that a common operational mode is unfathomable to you does not make it useless to others.

Which kind of testing has been proven to be a waste of resources? TDD?

I'm no fan of TDD -- I think there's a lot of cargo culting about it -- but I wasn't aware anything had been "proven" about it. I've seen papers claiming it helps, papers claiming it sort of helps, and some people claiming it mostly doesn't help (or that what actually helps are some practices that go along with it).

I thought there was no industry consensus that it doesn't help.
The only thing that would get me back in the office is a 4 day work week, full pay. That would be an equivalent trade imo.

> I don't lose two hours a day due to the commute.

Realizing I was basically using an entire work day or even a little more per week just to commute was what made me put in the effort to move to remote work(pre-pandemic by a couple years). And once I started, I noticed the little niceties as you mentioned and it would take something drastic to get me back into an office again.

While working from home is fantastic for many, there are some real issues coming up due to WFH:

- From my observations, people with commitments (family, partners, pets .. etc.) prefer to work from home while single people prefer to go to the office. This will create a noticeable gap between the two groups.

- While working from home can be productive for med to senior-level employees, I suppose it will be a nightmare for juniors and interns. They will have no one around to mentor them or at least to ask for immediate advice. When working from home (as pointed by others), we tend to get into deep focus on avoiding distractions from messaging tools.

To clarify, when I start hiring, the work will be fully remote, but I just wanted to list observations from different perspectives.
> How would that work in practice? By its very nature open data would also be accessible to proprietary programs

That is a good thing. If program X works best on my data I want to use it. There are a few examples where people do mix programs from different companies. Musicians use MIDI to connect their favorite keyboard to a synthesizer from a different company all the time - sure it is tied to hardware, but it need not be and is a perfect example of what should be possible for any user data: mix and match.

> although the reverse need not be the case.

It doesn't have to be, but if users demand it, it will be.

> Seems like we will need open data and code. Either one open will not do.

Open data means we can create the code. Closed data is a lot harder to deal with than closed code.
Elite schools are there for two types of students:

A) Incredibly smart and hard-working students that want to be around the leading experts in their fields. These kids end up as post docs / researchers, and get to work/stay close to those schools.

B) The ones that want to land elite jobs (gov / banking / finance / law / etc.) - for these, the social activities are quite more important.

Don't get me wrong, you need to be a top-tier student / pupil to get in, and the latter students are also such. But different priorities.
Ideally those requests would also include a "deleted after" date. If such a thing was implemented and trustworthy (kind of hard, admittedly), it would make me a fan of an EU-wide eID.

The comparison to 90's Microsoft is today's Apple is a tenuous one at best, but IMO not a specious one. While it's easy to forget how oppressive MS's 90%+ market share felt at the time, and the impact of their "Embrace Extend Extinguish" strategy, neither did Microsoft ever exert the same degree of control over their software ecosystem as Apple does over third-party software in iOS (30% of all revenue, unilateral gatekeeping privileges, etc).
