Okay, as someone who used to suffer from really bad depression for about 5 years, you're the one over stepping your position on this.

There is poor mental health. Theres also fishing for attention and making outlandish claims for sympathy. This article isnt a testament of poor mental health. It's a whining child who refuses to grow, at best. If you suffer from depression or other issues, you can spot out a phony in a heartbeat. Thats why some people in the comments get pissed off over these articles. The author is faking it and doing more harm than good. Most people with actual mental health issues WANT it to end, unlike the author, because guess what, the word suffering isnt an accident. The culture of "it's okay to suffer" is pretty fucked up.

In truth, no one really looks down on poor mental health anymore. Get with the times. The most backwoods redneck these days understands that life or severe events gets hard on people, it can happen to anyone, and it takes a toll on them, being hard on that person doesn't help. It's really the woke crowd that keeps bringing up that theres a stigma. No one else does or thinks that.

Honestly, the veteran community is probably the best right now when it comes to helping with poor mental health. Most of you are going to look down on that, but that's your prejudice problem. If anyone wants to try picking themselves back up, take some lessons from that crowd to see how they help vets with PTSD.
A lot of the WFH roles I have seen are mostly North America only though
Ask HN: What bogus information do you provide?
The idea of having an "internet birthday" seems less popular than it was years ago. To reduce the risk of your data being exposed, you provided inaccurate information. Some would use the first or last day of the month instead of their actual birthdate or change the year by a digit.

With some internet users seeing a rise in age verification requirements, are any common birthdates being used to stuff the system with inaccurate information?

If you only need to verify you're over 18, does it make a difference if you say you're 80?
> I only have mild sleep apnea

Disclaimer: I don't want to rain on your parade, and I'm happy that you feel better. But for everyone who isn't you: the way I understand it, there's no such thing as mild sleep apnea. I mean sure, everyone gets a couple of apneas every night, that's fine. But "mild" apnea is defined by 5-15 apnea/hypopnea events per hour. That's an average over the whole night. Usually apnea is worse during REM sleep. And each event comes with a (micro-)arousal. If you're waking up 5-15 times (or more) during REM sleep, you're not getting much actual REM sleep, and your sleep quality is destroyed anyway. Reglardless of the "mild" diagnosis. REM seems to be an important part of sleep.

As an aside: I wish it were easier to get a deviated septum fixed. Seems like the Russians have a laser treatment which can (non-invasively) increase the plasticity of the cartilage so it can be straightened, but AFAIK it's only available in Russia.
You know, this was really supposed to be a survey for his mailing list subscribers. He never said explicitly not to share it around, but posting it to orange website is a great way to flood him with low-quality submissions.
You sound like you need to learn more empathy and how to be less judgmental.
Why the Trans Issue Is Much Bigger Than Bathrooms, Sports, and Fragile Feelings
I actually went through really severe caffeine withdrawal last year, it turns out that the always-ready coffeepot at our coworking space was keeping me way, way more caffeinated that I could reasonably do at home

I also spent the year stressed out by the endless stream of Slack messages, eating poorly, forgetting to take breaks, and slumped on a couch rather that bothering to use my nice ergonomic chair, so, YMMV
The other thing I don't see mentioned enough is the impact on disabled people. Thanks to spine issues, I can't comfortably drive. That has limited me to either working where a train line goes or at the same place with my wife where I can carpool with her as a passenger. WFH is one of the most freeing things that has ever happened to me. It not only frees me to work anywhere, but it also means I don't need to take as frequent breaks. I used to have to work at places that could accommodate my need to lay down to decompress several times a day, and that meant I couldn't do any actual work during that time. At home, I can much more easily keep working from bed when sitting or standing gets too painful.
I tend to agree. This is like the marketing team reworking the name, slogan, or logos every few years.
That was the type of thing I had. I was essentially forced to choose between taking care of my teeth and to be able to sleep at all. The choice was very easy, at the end of the day.
It doesn't seem to be too relevant: it's the year of acquisition and the loss is due to the "share based compensation". Remembering what I've read, before they were really small company with small number of servers properly handling all the uses.
I had a similar issue few days ago, but managed to do it with downloading my youtube account cookies with Chrome extension

> It’s about time that as society we open up about mental health and how to deal with our issues

There's exhaustive discussion of mental health issues in every corner of society. In some corners of society, people announce their mental health issues before even telling you their name.

> People with issues need help, not bullying.

Yes, but some discernment is necessary to distinguish between the ones that need help and the ones that need the HTFU. There isn't enough help to go around for everyone that claims to have issues.

When people are rewarded with fawning attention and privilege because of their issues, you've incentivized people to have issues.
> Did you read the article? Not everyone wants to go back to how things were before? Simple things like not having people stand on top of me in line. There was a year of no social pressure to do anything and it was nice. No need to feel like you needed to socialize because everyone else is. That's what this article was about.

I read the article, but I will admit it doesn't really "make sense" to me. If I don't like something I don't do it or I try and change it, so it becomes something that doesn't bother me. If you don't want to be involved in certain social settings then don't go. I don't get why "Society" needs to change because some people prefer not to be around people. Its perfectly fine that you prefer less social interaction but many people are the complete opposite and that's also okay.
I don't owe you a conversation.

Is there merit in asking which public health interventions -- if any -- are effective responses to an airborne virus? Absolutely. Is it possible that certain policies -- some types of masking, banning outdoor gatherings, etc. -- were ineffective or even harmful? Yes, and someone should investigate those hypotheses. Someone with intellectual humility, the means to gather evidence, and the knowledge and time to properly analyze that evidence.

Is this a conversation I'm willing or obligated to have specifically with you? Absolutely not.

As for persuading the "persuadable audience" (whose size is probably approximately zero given that we're two nobodies knee-deep in an off-topic thread on an IT forum)? Go back and read your posts. You're doing that part for me.
> People are so black and white

The social benefits of this type of thinking are too big to ignore for many people. You get to be a part of a group. (I'm going to skip any hand-wavey allusions to evolutionary psych because they don't really add much.)

I get the appeal. I'm just not always one of them. I'm sure I'm black and white on some things, but I always joke that my teamwork/togetherness gene is busted for the most part.
That is astounding. When asked to decide, my place went 100% software engineers committing to WFH, and well over two-thirds of every other group as well.

Team admin is tag-teaming a physical presence at the office, the big boss likes to come in, there's one person in sales who likes to come in, and the guy who assembles the hardware has to come in on a number of days. I think that's about it.

Almost the entire company chose to go remote, and we're never going back. The big boss indicated towards the end of last year that we're giving up the lease on one of the two office spaces.

At least one person has already moved hundreds of miles to Yorkshire where he's simply having a better life. That's what it is. It's the opportunity for a better life, just waiting to be grasped.

I do have sympathy for people who have discovered that their social well-being depended on physical interaction with people in the office; I would hazard that the solution to that is not to go back to the office. There are better ways to get that. There is a better life to be had.
I'd rather go without internet than have one of these damned smart devices in my house. I can't believe how popular they are.
Engineers are of course not a uniform thing and every role is looking for different experiences and traits, so you’ll get a lot of good engineers knocked back from interviews who go on to get a job somewhere else. This might be trite but thought it is worth mentioning as what seems “unfair” can often just be this.

It's more than just cynicism. He also refers to the vaccines as "experimental" which is pure, unadulterated conspiracy nonsense. It's pretty clear he has an ax to grind.
You can argue over who's at the top, but we absolutely (currently) do have cushier jobs than writers. You might not believe this, but journalists can also be highly trained workers too.

Their world got rocked by a race to the bottom, and a push towards lower-quality, rushed journalism, and yes, fake news and clickbait. Something that some of the people on this very board have absolutely helped enable.

The same thing will happen to us too. Computer programming won't be looked on seen as a highly-trained or lucrative skill, and we'll be pushed out and left to wither by some new profession who have been tricked into believing they're smarter than all the others.

This cycle has played out before, and it will play out again. Try and have some compassion for those under you, the same way you'd appreciate it when it's your turn.
I have definitely been part of interview processes where the team unanimously rejected experienced candidates who express visceral negative and incredulous reactions to being asked to demonstrate basic programming proficiency. The story here has hints that it may be in this category. Some candidates with decades of experience expect to immediately have philosophical discussion about where software is headed, and offered their choice of management/architect positions without talking about code, and get upset when the interview starts out with some softballs. The irony is they get ejected before the interview gets to the good stuff, we do ask about philosophy and management, but a bad attitude can take that off the table very quickly.
Actually, this is where 3d stacking changes the game. With 1 additional vertical layer, you can get double the memory at practically the same latency, as the source of latency is related to the wire distance (and capacitance) in the 2d plane. Latency can be lowered with 3d stacking as well if you reduce the 2d area of the memory array. This is how the industry will keep scaling going when 2d feature sizes can no longer be shrunk.
You assume that a car needs to be fully charged each morning. If you for whatever reason drive 160 miles each day, but may only recuperate about 40 miles (in rough worst case of say ten hours at a home Level 1 [standard US electrical outlet] charge over night), you still need only need a "full charge" on a 300 mile battery every two days or so.

The economics shift even more the closer you get to the mean daily commute of 32 miles roundtrip. For instance if you travel 45 miles daily and only charge 40 each night you'd need nearly two full weeks before your range dipped below 200 miles. At that rate you'd need a full charge maybe once every month and a half (assuming of course that you have no other sources of topping up your miles in a month in a half, such as convenience chargers while shopping or work sponsored chargers during the work day).
You're right, that could work in theory. In practice it would be difficult to manage and keep track of all the links, update them if the file is moved, etc. I suppose hard links would avoid that, so that might be a reasonable way to implement tags, I agree. My main goal would be to manage this via a tag-like UI, so that I don't have to do this manually. And at that point I might as well just store the metadata in a proper DB instead of the filesystem...
Well there is the one where he decided to call a guy saving kids lives a pedophile just because he said they weren't going to use the submarine Musk had his team build, back during thailand's crisis.

That's not a very sane reaction to have.
The best is when they give you a take-home problem and an agreement: "we own all the code you write, dont show this to anyone"
I’ve seen a couple other articles like this that that to “both sides” this by claiming Apple does it with AirTags. Seems pretty disingenuous, feels like comparing faxing documents to the internet…
The worst imo is the trendy "app shell" approach where the skeleton loads and then the content. Never quite sure if things are ready to interact with. Also ideally the shell should load the parts appropriately sized so when the bloated json payload is eventually rendered, the page doesn't jump around. That's quite rare in practice though.
I said nothing about lack of accountability.

Burden proof goes the other way. The police having ability to get physical with you without being charged with assault would seem to be critical to doing their job. Which is why they have that ability and citizens don't. You want to argue the widely accepted rules are wrong, sure, but the burden of proof is on you then.
There are three projects at the end of the list.

This criticism is a bit unfair. It's a gist on github, which you are supposed to read and understand as the author states in his opening disclaimer. The statement for enabling SmartScreen is also included.
And no, your machine gets not owned when you disable SmartScreen - there are other protective measures you can take.

I presume that Microsoft has found that home users value having a cheaper PC with ads, over a more expensive PC without ads.

Similar to Gmail and the likes of numerous SaaS companies. There's a freemium version with ads (or some type of limitation) or a paid version without ads (or said limitation).

Just playing devils advocate here.
I'm not OP and it's not a headset, but I have to say—nothing beats the Blue Yeti for microphone audio quality, and there's a headphone jack on the bottom you can just use with any pair of headphones.

It's a bit of an investment, and very slightly cumbersome at times versus a wireless headset, but I think it's worthwhile in order to sound good.

(Well, okay, a truly professional microphones would presumably make you sound even better, but you're very much past the point of diminishing returns.)
The opposite is also true:

If somebody wants to manufacture a political earthquake (e.g. to serve in the interests of a trade war with another nation), expect increased reporting on and various researchers "independently" "verifying" the Wuhan-lab leak hypothesis.

After 75,000 Echo arbitration demands, Amazon now lets you sue it
Someone wrote a really great article for how you should play this as a company if you can't pay the best.

Unfortunately, don't have the link.

The premise is: you should be aware that there's a large subset of good engineers who aren't particularly great at coding interviews - and you should set up your interview process to select for those candidates.
Thanks for linking this. Hopefully it continues to work for a while.
In this case, given the choice, i'd just have opted to do a few more interviews rather than investing a week in a work trial. I was burning through my savings due to being unemployed for ages, so exchanging a week of my time for a charitable donation wasn't really on the cards -- i've no doubt they would have done that if i'd asked.

Not to mention that I now consider mandatory work trials to be an unethical practice. The stress of an interview, but stretched to last an entire week. A week where you feel you can't make any mistakes. I'll never do another one, it's not worth it.
I think it’s one thing for a person who is struggling with depression to think that life as a member of the elite in the richest country ever is too much to bear.

It’s something else for The Atlantic to publish that view as if it is non-pathological. It seems to me the Atlantic thinks this is a view a large percentage of its well heeled readership is going to sympathize with.

I think "validating emotion" is currently a counter to jerks who state "You shouldn't feel that (your current emotion). There's no reason to feel that. You should instead feel X emotion."

This reaction is generally unhelpful for the listener, as it basically asserts that (a) the listeners feelings don't exist / are not important or (b) that the listener is feeling the wrong emotions.

Validating emotion is "Yes, I understand why you feel that, having <thing> happen to <you/me> would certainly make someone feel <emotion> " e.g. "Yeah, when your friend criticized your cooking I bet that made you feel bad."

After validating the emotion (to create empathy, to create a safe space for conversation, and emphasize that you care about the person), you can then (optionally) suggest a different (more positive) thought e.g. "Perhaps your friend only meant to say that they love using melted butter on their own pasta, and was not trying to say that the pasta was dry." or supply context e.g. "Alice has been having a rough time at work the last few weeks, that might have been why she was short with you."

So validation of emotion is used to create acceptance ("we accept that emotion currently exists and is a reasonable feeling to have in that context") and to create a safe space for talking about emotions in general and the situation in which they arose. (It is especially useful when teaching children about emotions and teaching them to look at a situation objectively.)

Invalid emotions could exist, but usually an over-the-top emotion (and the actions that you take because of that) normally seem to occur because either (a) some sort of miscommunication occurred ("I thought we were talking about X") or that some sort of important context was missing ("You know, Bob lost his job last week, there's a reason he didn't come to the party, and it wasn't to slight you.")
I think you have it backwards, unfortunately. Data can always be deleted, but American laws can’t be changed. With an evenly split Senate, where the opposition has declared a “100% focus” on stopping the government’s agenda, and you need 60% to pass anything — let’s just say that all non-spending bills are effectively dead for the next 18 months. And most likely, far beyond that. Laws can’t really change here, so we have to live with the system we have, and hope that courts interpret the laws in better ways.

Only warning people when it isn't common used is a judgment. Why is software that isn't commonly used a danger? Where do you set the limit? Is infrequently used software signed by Microsoft dangerous?

Showing a warning about anything is not value neutral. Showing a popup for infrequently used software says that you value number of users as a measure of software quality.

This is something a great interviewee does. I don't try and trick interviewees or make things unnecessarily hard. I really just want to see "can you think like a programmer". When an interviewee gets stuck and isn't saying what they are thinking about, it makes it really hard for me as an interviewer to give good prompts.

Obviously, I can't give away a solution, but at the same time some people will get stuck on things like "Can I use X" or "can I use Y". And for me, that answer is almost always "Yes, absolutely use X!". Because that's what I WANT from someone I'm working with. I don't want you to write a sort from scratch, I want you to call `Collections.sort` or even have the wherewithal to ask someone/google "Hey, I know Java has some inbuilt sorts, how do I invoke those?".

The only time I'll maybe mark you lower is if you start the interview by saying "Yes, java is my favorite language to program in and I use it all the time!" and then struggle to do `new ArrayList<>()` (which has happened on multiple interviews). I always try to get someone to use whatever language they are most comfortable with. Because, to me, languages are stupidly easy to pick up and which one you are most familiar matters far less than how you use it.
One of the benefits of working in the office that you can leave your work notebook in the locker so you can't use it after working times.
