We do have a lot of people who are married and have children; for them, it is absolutely zero contest. Being at home and having that flexibility makes home and family life so much better in every way for them. Even things like having breakfast every day with the kids. For a lot of these people, there is no office culture good enough to make up for it. For these people, every office culture is bad; they just didn't notice until now. One chap moved back to Yorkshire where his family is from and where he grew up, and his out-of-office culture is now so much better. Again, for him, no office culture could compare. No office culture could make up for losing that.

Had a guy go back home to Spain. Two back to France. They're just all so much happier being around family and friends in the parts of the world where they feel most comfortable.

I don't have children and I'm not married, but even I agree with them the a job and an office is not something I'd choose to do if I didn't have to; not having to physically transport myself and sacrifice large parts of what actually matters on the altar of employment makes a big difference.

Hyperbolising for making a point, I suspect that for people who are married and have school-age children, any office culture is bad in that it sucks up time and attention from the things that really matter [0].

Maybe it's about what matters to the individual. If the job and the office is the most important thing in someone's life, then I can see that they'd want the office back. And genuinely, good for them, hope they enjoy it just as much as I hope the people above enjoy spending time with their kids and family.

[0] Yes, I know, recharge the batteries away from the kids, maybe I hate my family, etc etc. There are always exceptions.
While this is definitely a high-effort post, with a lot of useful information, it's sort of missing a huge change that's about to happen with JSON in Postgres 14:

SELECT *
FROM shirts
WHERE details['attributes']['color'] = '"neon yellow"'
AND details['attributes']['size'] = '"medium"'

Which is in fact making me wonder whether I should change my entire system from file-based JSON to DB-based JSON, which would no-doubt speed everything up by orders of magnitude.

$100k frozen for six months? It must be strange for that to be the kind of money you can leave lost behind the sofa and not do anything to pursue. I think I'd have been at legal action after a month.
You're already overthinking it with AI and stuff; there's games (especially on mobile) with minimal input requirements, think flappy bird, runner games, some of the racing games, etc. Even Epic's first major mobile title, Infinity Blade, played more like a slow interactive story than something needing lots of control input.

I mean I won't claim they're fun, just that they're easy to play.
I don't think something like that is possible. Without a centrally accessible authority, you cannot efficiently route data. Which is important with how low bandwidth something like LoRa is (and even Wifi may not have enough range/bandwidth). I don't think mesh can scale up like that.

Something like Meshtastic (FOSS mesh messaging project which uses the same LoRa wireless as Amazon's Sidewalk) blindly broadcasts, and any node that picks up the message repeats it. So with a big enough mesh, you'd use up all wireless bandwidth just repeating messages. Even if the recipient is right next to you.

If you could theoretically build a list of nodes, to efficiently route data by doing a shortest path, at some size the data needed to keep the node list up to date would eat up all the bandwidth. Because like messages in the previous method, every change in the node distance tree would have to propagate throughout the entire network.
Hey, thank you for the comment! I'm curious, if you like Node.js but don't really root for it, what technology do you advocate for then?
Jeeze, that's one of the most egregious patents I've seen in a while. Hopefully it wouldn't stand up in a post Alice Corp world.

I can empathise with your experience, as someone who is either just inside or outside of Asperger's.

If you're on the diversity and inclusion committee and no one is challenging the return to the office, can't you? Or is this purely a reactionary, advisory committee?
I have colleagues who have done WFH always - at least 5 years. I do not see any mental issues in them.
I do wonder how common this is in non-US based Amazon offices as well. Firing people in EU countries is often not as easy.
Not to the same extent - we've got good enough binocular vision and pretty good handling of dynamic lighting.

Compare that with the usable colours and bad blacks of standard absolute colour encoded video.
Anything to do with goodreads becomes toxic. I think that's because the types of people who read and opine about books to the extent they feel compelled to blog/review on gr, are also likely to be the types of people who brook no dissent to their opinions, neither of authors, books nor the things they make them mean. They're independent, self-trusting, artistic thinkers (in the manner of Nietzsche), and the act of engaging in bookreading, where they are in their own closeted little world, alone with the author's mind, is the pinnacle of their innate joy, but the internet of everyman wasn't built for them, so they become little despots when faced with a sea of divergence.

The comment above is an example of a hanger-on to this dynamic: not quite independent enough to be a despot in their own right, but an enabler of the despotism of these little opiners, who the userbase of goodreads epitomizes so well, leading to the toxicity oozing from the seams of goodreads observable in abundance.

SEEKING FREELANCER | EU based | Worldwide | Remote

Seeking freelancer(s) for project-based work, to offload some workload. Mainly creating backend, system / embedded, small to medium, semi-independent components for the railway industry.

While all components should be non-safety-critical, for practical reasons, code should predominantly be obviously correct. Also reasonably readable, understandable and simple.

We do not have interest, time (or funds) for extensive debugging sessions or repeatedly repairing SW and consider it irresponsible (spoken as a SW developer). We would rather make something that just works and would expect the same from you.

Preferred languages would be Haskell or Rust, with sparing and judicious use of advanced features. Other languages and tools are acceptable if appropriate.

Compensation would hopefully be reasonable, though probably not appropriate for SV and HCOL areas, unless you're unusually productive.

It you're interested in this type of development, you can email me at labawi [at] fastmail.com.
Oh, I can see now it's mentioned, I must've skipped it on first reading.

Yup. The thing that's disturbing about this is that someone senior must understand Goodhart's law in the company. Which makes it more likely the side-effects are, in fact, intended.
Your argument would also refute the whole co-pilot experience itself. It is not about "there are simple games, go play that". It is more to enable them to play anything.

I think anything that can be co-piloted so smooth that other player is not annoyed, can be also simulated by an AI.

It is not really overthinking it. It is taking the learning and bringing it to a wider audience.
Whilst I agree that more security would be great, and a capability based sandbox for applications would be cool, this is not something that Gnome can do on it's own. There should be a inter-project initiative to get this to work, as ideally this should be done at the kernel and userspace level and be DE agnostic. Flatpak kind of could do that, but I'm skeptical for now.

On the other hand, maybe Gnome should copy qubes or everyone should just make qubes ready for everyday use.
PS4 Controllers can be connected via BT to phones and via cable to PC with almost all functionality. There's an extension port on the controller but I haven't seen anything that plugs into it. Also don't know how easy it is to connect your own controller to the PS4 but there is an "ext" port on the controller that is reportedly a USB2 port but a proprietary shape.
> For whom?

Well, most people right?

Power users are by almost by definition an insignificant (but over represented in discussions and noise making) cohort right?

If the platform keeps quality content, gets more users over time and maintains both a good DAU and RPU, then, well, what objective metric of success do you want to measure?

Number of happy power users?

I really think most people don't care about that metric.

With SO it remains to be seen...; the power users there are the mods, and they contribute tangible value to the platform... but... you know, the writing is already on the wall. Whether this does it, or it was coming anyway, it's hard to say.
A while ago - maybe 12 months back - there were lots of rumours that Blender were working with Ubuntu and Canonical to provide “professional support” for Blender LTS. Does anyone know if this came to fruition?

> transact with trusted people and businesses

What, like paypal and ebay?

The problem is that in reality there are (a) small businesses whose trust is difficult to verify and stability may not be guaranteed and (b) large companies who have a proportion of incidents of very bad customer service. For many services there may only be (b).

> do your due diligence before buying

How much do you do exactly? How long does it take, what does it cost (do you pull company financial reports?) and shouldn't the extra time it takes to do this be counted as a transaction fee?

> Just like online payments and credit cards had their "wild west" period

Not really? It's been the same customer-not-present process since the days of export-restricted SSL. In fact that's kind of the problem, it's the same insecure process designed for paper and card transactions. There was certainly never anything comparable to "exchange absconds with customer funds" that happens every few years in crypto.

The "large company payment database was compromised and now all their customers are being defrauded" problem does seem to have improved recently.
There are pros and cons to wfh vs office and each individual will weigh them according to what they value more. The pros can be cons to the other group and vice versa.

I hope this topic shift in the right direction and focuses on the steps employers need to take to let employees decide for themselves and ensure equal opportunity regardless of what choice they've taken.
There is so much to unpack here.

First of all, you are the one claiming knowledge that more or less contradicts some of our most fundamental physical understanding based on hearsay. If you don't understand how fundamental the speed of causality limit (c) or the mass/energy equivalence are to all of the rest of modern physics (and technology), how well proven they are, to what extraordinary precisions, how many other observations would make no sense without them, then there really is no point in continuing our discussion. Until you can account for the hundreds of thousands of reproducible experiments showing how speeds compose and time dilates without a fundamental limit to speed, saying that someone thinks they saw some bizarre phenomenon is very weak evidence.

Comparing "evidence" of aliens (which, I keep stressing, could as likely be angels or demons or devas) to evidence of drug abuse, parental abuse, rape etc is disgusting. Those in the later case are known, well understood phenomena, where we have clear, obvious reasons why reporting is going to be necessarily one-sided. By contrast, there is no clear reason why or how aliens (or angels, gods, kami) would interact sporadically with a few individuals, leaving little if any clear trace of their passing, despite the inordinate amounts of energy that would actually be required to achieve their stipulated movements (try to hide a space rocket launch for comparison).

Finally, I didn't insult you, so I don't expect to be insulted in return. I didn't even initially insult the people making these claims (I "insulted" the claims themselves), though I did do that in my follow-up comment, for which I apologize. Still, some of the people making these claims have been proven to have simply lied for various reasons. I firmly believe all of the others have had various hallucinations such as sleep paralysis or symptoms of various mental illnesses. This is not an insult, anymore than claiming that all people who have heard Lord Vishnu's voice and seen his chariot are either mistaken, lying, or have experienced some kind of altered mental state.

Claims of implanted devices have never been medically confirmed.
> According to the New York Times, the total cost of running a marathon—arguably the least gear-intensive and costly of all endurance sports—can easily be north of $1,600.

I've run 5 (ignoring ultras) thus far and I'm pretty sure my entire cost for those 5 wouldn't be much more than $1600 in total (the bulk of which would be the Fenix 3 watch.)

Consider a significant number of Googlers are upper middle class kids, possibly on the spectrum, who go straight from the ivy league to google’s cafeteria. These made up numbers seem reasonable and accurate to them because they never had to take care of themselves in the real word.
I don't think it solves the problem, because you can still swap 1 and 2.

Ideally, 1 and 2 are of different types (which may not always be practical).

It could make it easier to spot an error if 1 and 2 are in fact variables that have a name (RGB(R(green), G(red), B(blue))) screems HEY SOMEHTING IS WRONG THERE).
Japan is denying that they have tightened the requirements for scrambling fighters against Chinese planes on course to enter Japanese airspace since they deployed F-35[1].

I imagine that a Chinese fighter probably costs a lot less to get into the air than an F-35 does. The airframe and engines might not have a higher MTBF than F-35 (or maybe they do) but they are certainly cheaper and easier to replace, regardless.

There's an obvious economic and industrial capability question to all of this. A player with cheap planes can erode the benefits of the technologically superior one by simply encouraging them to be used more, or forcing the decision to not use them for fear of stretching supply lines... Thus reducing the required response time when it's decided to actually deploy the expensive weapon.

I would also put some emphasis on the fact that it is a "strict Catholic" boarding school. To Guardian readers this is a dog-whistle to signify oppressive and potentially abusive; but the reality is very possible that the boys had learned some of the positive aspects of the faith - it does after all state that they regularly sang and prayed together - so I would imagine, despite their boredom at school, they may well have learned and internalized some of the "love thy neighbour" type teachings and carried them into this situation.
You would get something like a cup of coffee per month. The ecosystem is not really ripe for donation-sustained open source development. GitHub Sponsors feature works a bit better than one time donations. I also like the idea of feature/bug bounties, but I don't know how well they work in practice.

I think the best model if you want to both share the code and make money is to offer commercial version with newest features, and open source a version that's a bit behind. As you publish a new version, you open-source the previous commercial version. This is more of a "source available" model because it actively discourages any community code contributions.

It is still not clear to me how to receive money as founder and maintainer on actual open source project, without resentments from contributors that don't get paid. Doesn't seem fair and has potential to turn into big drama.
All true, except I think this is a uranium-fuelled reactor, but cooled with NaCl. This is different to molten salt cores, where in fact the fuel itself is a molten salt.

Both very cool technologies, if they work out.
People should realize that wfh is highly dependant on self-discipline. Some ppl have it, some dont. (Actually only very small % of ppl have high self-discipline).

Due to this all corporations will and are going to try to “control” ppl simply because most of them cannot control themselves.
This is getting borderline abusive on your part.

I will simply note that I am merely stating what is the current understood scientific consensus, and my personal belief. Obviously everyone is free to believe whatever they want, but I am also free to think they are entirely wrong and explain why.

Huawei has "OS Kernel Lab" in their research division [1] and seems to do real research, including building an OS kernel. I guess they at least tried to ditch Android at a point.

I'm not supporting their PR strategy. Just interesting to see where a corporate research goes.

It was pretty common in the 1960s, 70s and 80s for the supercar makers to freely use parts from Alfa Romeo or Lancia or Fiat. Door handles, switches, rear view mirrors, vent outlets, headlights, interior lights, sometimes even tail lights and indicators although these were sometimes disguised. The door handles on a Dino were designed for the Alfa Spider.

Its only in the relative recent past that Ferrari or Lamborghini created their own minor bits and pieces.

One thing that highlights for me was just how stylish prosaic Italian cars could be. Nobody would ever want to reuse a door handle from a Ford Fairmont for anything, but Alfetta door handles ended up on exotica.

You are hard pressed to guess which country modern cars are designed in, but it used to be easy to tell.
This seems odd to me because the result would be obvious, unless Amazon is turning a blind eye to it.

If a team has thirty members, hires three, and fires those same three by the end of the year, that's suspicious, but obviously they could just have had a bad run. If it happens three years in a row, or happens on five out of eleven teams in a group of 300, then that's a real problem. But Amazon would have to be blind not to notice.
CSS Games
Right.

Thanks for this but

> I don't want play a detective with css properties ever, when there is a proper mathematical model for coordinate relations.

Designers and UI devs would probably rather just write custom shaders on canvas if they have that level mathematical prowess. For most, offloading that cognitive load to an abstraction like CSS is worth it. Let the browser do the math. Playing detective then seems like a woefully arbitrary issue to have.

Those who are fine with current CSS could then continue to craft wands and potions and everyone'd be happy.

I believe it's called the dark arts.

Ask HN: How good are design tool – react code apps?
I've seen a few tools that do this recently:
-Plasmic (https://www.plasmic.app/)
-Alva (https://meetalva.io/)
-Anima (https://www.animaapp.com/)
I'm not that far along in UI design but I'm starting to work with my friend on small projects. He's currently learning react/programming so I was thinking it might be helpful if I use one of the above tools.

Have any of you used them? Do you recommend them?
