>The F-35 is a 1.5 trillion dollar bet on human dog fighters who cant execute high G maneuvers in a world dominated by fleets of cheap, disposable, AI piloted drones that can.

"High G maneuvers" is a meaningless capability. Each of those "AI piloted drones" will require a support radar (putting the radar on each drone will make them cost $10+ million a pop, eliminating the throwaway strategy), if a F-35 can destroy the support radar you've just lost all your drones because they cannot detect the F-35.

Yeah, I have to work in the same room that I sleep in, and I only have one monitor and one desk.

> It almost feels like there is a conspiracy brewing to talk down on WFH despite most employees loving it

There are enormous economic forces whose interest lies in workers returning to offices and city-centers.

Thinking that journalists and media-sources are immune to this pressure is illusory - they will be talking to 'experts' who are effectively lobbyists, getting press-releases and generally being contacted in their networks by a lot of people who want to push this agenda, so that expensive offices are filled and city-center businesses can begin to sluice our cash again.

I have saved enormous amounts of money by WFH over the last year, enjoy it more than sitting at an office desk all day, had more family-time, private and hobby time, have eaten more healthily and gotten more exercise and (probably most importantly of all), worked with better focus and more effectively.

But I have no doubt that I'll be required to work at the office again at the end of the summer, because the combination of these immovable economic forces, together with the ingrained cultural prejudices of the management class (that prefer the buzz of the office environment), make it an inevitability.
Yeah, the other thread, the guy most upvoted, talks about how amazing office is,while when asked: 86 percent reply they don't want to go back.

Upvote bots are active now on hackernews, its sad, but bound to happen.
It's funny how people who like remote worker expect everyone to commit to their lifestyle, like it's a religion. Some people will work better in the office others will work better at home. Not everyone is the same ... why haven't we figured this out yet
> here you are politicising an unpolitical

I don't think I am, the virus and pandemic was made political last year by the president and the republicans. The first lines of this article are political. How is this on me? Especially when I'm just reflecting and looking back at what happened. covid is politcal, thanks to the republicans making everything political and a culture war.

Do you have a suggestion? Or just disagreeing without offering an alternative? Im not really sure what your trying to get at.
Have you tried to join all the meshes you need in a single object and then using the recent voxel remember to turn them into a single surface? It requires no extra addons and you can choose how detailed you want it to be.

After joining all the meshes, select the object and go to the object data panel, as visible here:

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/pr...

From the remesh section, you can choose between the voxel remember and the quadriflow one. I think the Voxel one might suit your needs.
1.Interesting, the vast majority of these are not work related for me. Maybe one a year is in some way useful

2. I would contest that with sufficient quality screen share this simply so marginal it's dismissable

3. This makes several assumptions about personality and socialising and isn't always the case. Forcing people to see each other does not create social closeness. Sustaining good friendships over instant message is very much the norm. I think occasional in person meetings or, more deliberate collaborative effort if fully remote can create this just fine.

4. Distractions in the office, drive bys, noise of neighbours and even digital distraction vs a small degree of self discipline (using one monitor, phone on dnd can help too) ... I dont buy this at all.

5. See above - if you have children then that is understandable, however I would wager that correct work/play time separation is whats needed here.

6. I can claim some of my electricity cost as work expenses and the food on my commute and at work is incredibly overpriced. I typically prepare food at home. Being at home more i'm now not restricted to whatever carries well in a tupperware.

7. Arguing that a routine needs to be made for you instead of creating your own isnt a valid reason. Self discipline.

8. Discipline and routine also addresses the last point, but I will concede its easier to manage.

To outline the competitive advantage FOR working at home. In addition to the above I gain:

Custom desk, my high quality office chair vastly superior to corporate stock, custom office space, custom lighting temperature and air flow.

Control of noise levels

Total control of distractions

I save 4 hours a day lost to transport being forced to listen to podcasts and have more meaningful work and play time as a result.

I save substantial money on transport

No social guidelines, I can have what I want on the radio/TV if I wish.

I can wear more comfortable clothes and save money on laundering work clothes

I can exercise more freely and easily

I can work in line with the ebb and flow of my conciousness and not when someone else demands it - and am subatantially more productive.

My deliveries no longer go missing

My home is tidier

I dont have to use a disgusting corporate bathroom

I dont get sick anymore

My carbon footprint is close to zero

My mental health has improved substantially

I think that mostly covers it
>Only Secure Apps Apply

At least you can turn the BS down on this one unlike iOS.

Also that page lagged a bit on my pinephone.
There are a lot of unmarried people too.
I randomly started listening to the All-In podcast a few weeks ago, without any context on Chamath or the other hosts (I thought it was a poker podcast).

I find him entertaining. Everything I’ve learned about him since has been pretty off-putting though.
What the article is saying is that there are group benefits to working together and that they speculate that the traders in America did better than the traders in Europe because they worked together.

Most comments I read on Hacker News that say that working from home is better measure a single individual’s output or that of a group that has worked together for a period of time.

There may well be studies that show that WFH is better. It would be good to study this further.

Perhaps it is better in some ways and worse in others. Perhaps it is better for some groups and worse for others. Perhaps certain technologies or processes can shift the balance.

I would hope that this is what we seek to learn. Instead, on Hacker News, you find a lot of agenda pushing. That makes me sad. I hope that we become
more curious and open minded.
> why shouldn't there be a place for this kind of practice

Here's an article that explains why - https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/amazons-controversial-hire-to...
I like you. Thank you for the good work.
They uses graphene-enhanced lithium-ion Battery. They claimed their battery remained at over 90% capacity after 800 charge and discharge cycles.

If it is as good as they claim the battery can easily last 3-5 years in normal usage.
Fascinating to see how much is 'inspired' by Apple's design and Microsoft's for the document app. I'd feel dirty in so blatantly copying someone else's design, but Huawei doesn't share those concerns. Maybe for good reason.
Yeah, the whole article reads very...coroprate-y.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with it, but I haven't used Gnome in multiple years, so my opinion doesn't really matter here. I do however, wish that Gnome foundation remains healthy. Having competition is always good, even in FLOSS.

last year one bloomed on Old Middlefield cross Rengstorff (where the old burrito place was) in MV, about 2 stories high. Majestic.

Wrt. corpse flower. 25 years ago i come one morning to work, a bit late as usual - i'm the IT - and the smell in my office is beyond description and it is emanated by that large phallic looking flower. The combination of look and smell is stunning, and my officemate (a very polite mid-age school teacher kind of woman) has an extremely strange expression on her face - on one side it is of a great proud - after all her "child", that flower she tended to for so long has finally bloomed in such a grandiose spectacular manner - on the other side she has already spent some time in the office and the tears in her eyes weren't just the tears of proud - it was just very hard to breath. I took the flower out into the hallway - we had that long hallway with offices' doors opening into it - and placed it toward one end of the hallway. 5 minutes later i hear the noise of tremendous excitement mixed with disgust - the people from the office closest to the flower got bothered by smell and walked out to check it out. Once they took their emotions under control they moved the flower to another end of the hallway. In few minutes people from the offices there got bothered by the smell ... That chess play with flower went for some time until finally somebody moved the flower into the stairway where during the day some people from the other floor also came to check out the source of the smell.
You will be shocked that we even bring friends and family there occasionally! That's how good the food is :)

I remember the Japanese cafe at Google was very good at one point. This article has some pictures to give you an idea:

I don't know where you live but you should also keep in mind that in many places of the world commuting is done within a metropolitan area, and usually with public transportation (trains, buses, subways etc) so while it still takes away time it's not that catastrophic on the environmental side. And there are people who likes to physically separate their personal life from their work life. And I'm a pre-pandemic remote worker who used to work in the office, and I can see the good and the bad sides of both positions. I don't really understand why WFH enthusiasts are usually so radical on this topic.

I still want a payday (and because of that incentive this is why decentralised almost always fails vs a centralised focused startup) but if one of my users writes 50,000 stack overflow answers (or whatever) they deserve a piece of the pie IMO.

I keep thinking of ways to encourage this. I guess treat your customers/users like employees - have a vesting schedule based on number of winning answers or some other relevant metric for your app.

Funny, I actually saw lots of people bring their family to work for dinner when I was at Google, it's pretty common actually.
Decentralized insurance pools allow anyone in the world to tap into that liquidity. Allowing farmers and businesses in developing countries to get stability they've never been able to buy before.

Futures contracts so they can easily sell their products at a good price regardless of market fluctuations, transfers the risk to the investors.

Smart contracts are still in super early days, the first foundational building blocks are being laid. Soon many more things will be possible.
Yup, much as the world is becoming more and more culturally homogenous thanks to freely sharing information, there's still significant differences that shouldn't be underestimated.

I mean even though we consume the same media, I still strongly dislike many aspects of American culture.
This doesn't sound any worse than iOS. If you're worried about personal computing you can rest assured that it died for the average consumer a decade ago.
One game I particularly remember is Super Mario Galaxy 3D on the Wii. It had a two player mode where the second player didn't control Mario, but instead had the ability so interact with the environment and player in limited ways to help. I wonder why there aren't a lot of other games that do that.
My landlord noticed electric bill going up (combined with rent) and a lightbulb moment happened when we realized we've all been at home over the winter and its 220+ hours more of heat and other appliances every month.
Before the CORBA->DBus rewrite, the AT-SPI and related projects (read: the GNOME Accessibility infrastructure) was really looking promising. The Sun Accessibility office did great work to make GNOME a useable platform for people with disabilities and developers working on accessibility. The sudden death of the sun accessibility office combined with a big rewrite of the communication infrastructure pretty much set us back for some years. GNOME Accessibility is short on developer staff really actively working on the topic, and those which have managed to persist over the years are almost burnt out.

When GNOME is apparently growing right now, it would be great to divert some of the new resources towards more accessibility development. When GNOME started to support accessibility back around 2003, it was leading the way. It was the first toolkit to do so on FLOSS platforms, and this was even before commercial vendors have started to include accessibility by default. These days, all commercial vendors of desktop and mobile OSes have accessibility built-in by default. Which shows that GNOME was on the right track starting early. It would be great if management could acknowledge that this is an important topic which needs more work to achieve excellent results.
Unfortunately this is significantly harder than you might think. The perps tend to be citizens of countries who happily turn a blind eye to their activities so long as they aren't infecting their domestic systems. What interest do Russia or post-Soviet states have in prosecuting cybergangs that destabilize Western business and infrastructure? I mean, maybe we can create such interests/motivations, but now we are talking about a major geopolitical issue.

If major infrastructure continues to be hit I think we will eventually see this happen, but we absolutely cannot count on foreign states to 'do the right thing.'

There’s a V1.32 note in red on that page that says it’s now compatible with the PS5, but I’m not sure what that means exactly. It’s hard to say from the product page what this thing does.
The internet is global and ransomware developers operation out of jurisdictions that will not prosecute them. Unless you’re proposing Mossad-style unsanctioned kidnappings and assassinations, any approach that requires apprehending or prosecuting the people responsible is not a real option.
Next steps? How about:

1. Break GNOME's hard dependency on systemd. I don't mean refuse to use it, just don't force people to have to do so.

2. Fix that damn file picker dialog we've been groaning about for 20 years. Specifically, put the full path in an editable textbox. I'm not kidding! This step alone would be sooo much of a usability improvement for me!

I don't mind if you guys take a year-long hiatus and just do those two things.

"It's just the lack of talent that stops me from using it."

A 3D modeling application is a "process" on top of a mathematical and algorithmic basis. A process is not something intrinsically intuitive - you can't have talent for a process, you always need to learn it.

There are lots of great learning resources available (check the Udemy courses for example).
Honestly is it any less "baked in" than the pre-eminent Western powers? Can't the US govt achieve similar levels of censorship by serving NSLs and shutting a piece of information down? They perhaps may not need do it as rigorously as China because the real power lies in private mega-corps. As long as they survive, any old President will do, as long as he's not a loose canon like the last one.

I still can't think of a single world nation that puts real power in the hands of the people. There are always power structures and their protection even from the very people they ostensibly serve. I wonder in what way is China more evil than the major Western nations?
I always remember Joe Armstrong's quote (which is an adaptation of the of Greenspun's tenth rule):

“Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang.”

That is, while other languages and systems barely scratched the surface in terms of distributed programming, Erlang was perfecting all the models needed for it, because that's what it was built for. So everyone else is now playing catch-up with Erlang.
Yet as a European I wonder - what with the neofascist takeover attempts powered by post truth and fake news (aka "harmful information") that were successful in Russia, and will probably some day be successful in the US...maybe China is on to something good here?
Can $5-10 a day get you food with this kind of quality and variety?

https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-free-food-google-cafe...
My personal opinion: for any project in which you’re the sole resource (engineer, product manager, subject matter expert, UX, QA, etc. etc.), if you want to be remotely successful, you must pick something that you want and will personally use.

If not, you simply won’t have the insight needed to design and build a useful product. Also without meaningful use, you’ll be blind to the product’s shortcomings.

To have the motivation needed to power through the tough times by yourself, e.g. when you’re really tired of working on it or have other competing obligations it should really be something that you’re personally passionate about.

If you build a product based on your assumptions of what other people want without the resources to test these assumptions, you run the risk of making something that isn’t useful to anyone.
Even if we ignore the 'censorship first' idiom.

Unlike Microsoft's Fluent, Material U or other UX/UI exploration.

This feels like a pale Apple copycat. oddly it'll become even less relevant by next week with Apple showing their newer UI iteration.
Last point isn't true. I've been working full time with Elixir for 3 years and I can't write any Erlang. I can read it, just because it's not that complex syntactically.

But I should learn Erlang eventually.

Someone needs to re-write “The Process” for this millennium. The new title can be “The Algorithm”.

Shouldn't it at least be possible to identify them, by following the crypto addresses until someone cashes out?

I get that you might not be able to do anything about it if they are sheltered from prosecution where they cash out.

But I don't get why we can't at least, to some reasonable degree of accuracy, say Address A took the ransom and eventually it ended up with Address Z cashing out through Exchange B. Then if either Exchange B or Address Z has anything at all to do with the US-dominated international financial system, you've got serious leverage.

If I'm Coinbase, am I not worried about unwittingly laundering money for terrorists? Don't I have a staff trying to prevent that?
Sure that's the case in most of the world, but in the US you're spending an hour and a half alone in a car unless you've structured your life around avoiding that.
Not bad, except the British Government were in the business of extracting wealth more so than endowing... no doubt someone did the sums on this strategy and said “cor blimey let’s get out of here”
Those we ate to be alive are not.

I believe “human ingenuity and spirit” is not add odds with “our worst”.

Our most ingenious/sophisticated technology often works for its human wielder against their fellow humans.
Yeah of course the same way Western world feels "dirty" because they copied Yoga or patented indigenous herbals or any number of other things?

Perhaps it's time we recognised ideas and concepts are meant to be taken up and extended by other people? That's how humans have progressed these thousands of years. Not by paranoid, corporate silos and NIH syndrome and draconian patents.
This is great. Thank you so much for making me aware of this extension. It took two minutes to go through every color and remove the blue taint.

It would be cool if we could discuss the technology for once instead of spinning into a geopolitical discussion or meaningless copycat allegations which likely will lead nowhere.
I use a set of shell scripts that record when I start and stop work in a text file. The hard part is developing the habit. When I get up, switch to something non-work, or even start to daydream I stop it. Sometimes I still forget to start or stop it, so then I have to try to figure out when I started or stopped working from browser, command line, or undo history.

Lately I have been using the pomodoro method on top of this, which is probably easier to get started with since it's fewer large blocks of time.

The scripts are here FWIW, but they're written for an audience of one:
https://github.com/tdeck/timing

There's also some stuff in there for various other schemes like daily goals, some notion of "debt" etc... that I used at various times to manage my motivation and pacing. I've found it works best to just plan a number of pomodoros for each task, map out my day in half hour slots, and decide when I will do them.
I will not be donating for the foreseeable future, because Gnome has repeatedly shown contempt towards their software's userbase by ignoring their feedback and releasing software that has poor quality and usability.
Yes, a lot of people forget that the F-35B dropped the cost of building a "carrier" equipped with supersonic jets by an order of magnitude. You can use the saved money to buy a lot of F-35Bs.
