Normally, there is no issue with people downvoting stuff on the Internet. But on HN, voting results in karma, which results in rights. Downvoting is therefore taking away rights, and as seen, on the basis of just opinions. Since downvoting itself is a right, opinions on HN are shaped by those that hold power with this right over others. HN is, more than any other place, enforcing its own filter bubble.

Until I was at Microsoft a few years ago there was always a struggle to get internal teams to use Azure. There were constant talks to get O365 and Bing (so, the bulk of internet-facing servers) on Azure, but nothing never materialized. I have heard Google is a lot worse in this regard.
Thank you!

I spend a tonne of time in the reference manual for the 6 speed, and things clicked for what my next steps should be. It was really about trying to familiarise myself with the problem as much as possible.
I do have that use case as well. Taking a parallel from git, it's kind of a working/staging area/stash. There's a feeling of zero commitment. It could be I try out some unknown package, or that I have a temporary one-shot need that still lasts longer than a nix-shell -p.

But mostly I use it as a beachhead for people to eventually jump ship, helping them climb the first step of the ladder:

"see? It's easy to install and use, you'll be quite autonomous. And if you feel it's not your thing just ignore it or rm -rf /nix"

Then I bait them with e.g shell.nix just enough to tease their curiosity.

So instead of feeling overwhelmed by a whole new arch and contractually tied by configs they feel free, empowered, and curious.
Could you describe the UI change in more detail? How was the UI before and how is it different now?
Surely they’d already the case? There’s tons of latent bugs which are only revealed because the conditions to trigger them have not been encountered yet. Every 4 years code breaks all over in leap days. A program crashing after not crashing is essentially “the system self destroying”.
Fine, fine. Everyone on the board gets a raise! Happy now?

But if he just creates a platform where he can post his short screeds and people can view, subscribe and interact, surely his followers would want to install an app for that? You don’t even need accounts if all you want is read and get notifications.

Perhaps his followers are less enthousiast than they appear on tv but surely installing an app has to be less of an effort than putting down a sign or joining a protest march, right?
To be fair, one of the best pizzerias in the world is in Melbourne (400 Gradi). And my Nonno lives in Adelaide!
Surely if they have crippling social anxiety, being stuck in an office all day with others where they are expected to socialise no matter how bad their anxiety might be playing up on any given day, is far worse?

Also the only social part I referenced was coffee with close friends. I think drinking a coffee with an understanding friend(s) is much easier then being around 20+ colleagues for 8 hours straight.

Do tech companies test employees for drugs on an ongoing basis?

The only thing I've encountered is a drug test at the time of onboarding, and then never again.
Agreed but I felt like the difficulties with rising health care, housing, & other costs across much of the world, coupled with an increased difficulty forming new enterprises is a gate worldwide that makes upside growth increasingly difficult. Liu talked about China but the message felt ultra applicable to the parts of the world that I know better.
Like an evolutionary process, companies are only ever graded on the sum of their policies. There is almost never a company that offers almost everything the same but no stack ranking; it would not surprise me to see that the market for labor is “inefficient” here.

I wonder if there are management studies on introducing stack ranking to a unit inside of a company?
Escaping breaks often as well. The general problem is that the data is inline with the format. Parquet files or something that has clear demarcation between data and file format are more ideal but probably nothing is perfect or future proof. Or accepting of past mistakes either.

The Bac was a tool of neutral advancement but I really don’t think it has been in decades. SAT has a more mixed history and has never been particularly neutral (more like am IQ test). Gao Kao has a very long and mixed record but I agree that for a long time it was at least intended to be neutral. But the “princelings” (太子黨) show how neutral it really is today.

Personally I take a dim view of the utility of any test that can be crammed for.

> I don't think you can argue that a society built on admitting based on diversity rather than even imperfect standardized testing can be more independent of the pre-existing network.

Certainly you can, and I am not only citing such an argument and agreeing with it, but am such an example. It’s hardly perfect of course.

But just for myself: I am genetically a “mongrel” (per the then laws of the country of my birth), my father was the only of his siblings to enter university; their parents had finished only grades 3 and 6. My mother of a race normally banned from the country. Zero status there.

But I attended what is at times described as the “best”* high school in the USA and the so-called “best” university due in part to great SAT scores. (Note: almost four decades ago!). So the system can work. Those with preexisting networks will still have an advantage, but I gained access to them too. I suppose you could say I traveled to the USA so I was inherently in some sort of “in group”.

I don’t remember that there was any SAT prep in those days though perhaps it was just not available to me. I certainly don’t remember any of my schoolmates studying for it.

* quotation marks because I consider such unidimensional claims to be fatuous. Mentioning them simply to supply a real world example.

I really like the way kakoune (https://github.com/mawww/kakoune) handles it, the editor doesn't have any scripting as such, it has an "API" in the form of pipes and environment variables that can be used by shell scripts or tools written in any language. Unix is the IDE.

I just could never get my head around the key bindings with kak.

It almost feels like there is a conspiracy brewing to talk down on WFH despite most employees loving it. I suspect that the commercial property owners and middle managers are behind this because they are the ones who have mostly lost out here.

The cat is out of the bag I think. Once people can work from home in a post covid world where they can socialize normally, I think many companies, and especially in software development will become very remote friendly.
Well, those internet points are at least likely to be harder currency than the highly inflationary retweets, upvotes, or likes.
Well, for one thing only _one_ of you needs to commute.

Secondly, you can work towards a situation where you don't have that commute, or it's cheap / clean / easy / you don't lose all the time. Spoiler: live on a trainline or buy a bicycle.

Third, I don't believe this is the main reason for commuting. I think it's because people want to live in one place and work in another, which is usually a bad idea - especially for the environment. It irks me when I choose to live reasonably close to work so I don't need to burn fossil fuels to get there, and then people driving their cars to and from some village complain about their commute whilst I have to suffer the air pollution from their vehicles.

I totally get that for some transitional periods a long commute may be required, but I don't know a single person who couldn't make their commute a 20min walk or by public transport if they moved or switched jobs.
I was introduced to this concept through the Numberphile video and thought it was more about having fun with symbols / notation than contributing anything mathematically new or useful. I particularly object to the playing with infinities and infinitesimals as though they were numbers. As the pdf says on page 41:

> "According to theorem 5, {Z | } is a number that is greater than all integers. Therefore, its value is infinity!"

That makes no sense, nor does much of the exploration from this point. Other than playing with symbols, I'm not sure it has any value by itself.

That said, "playing with symbols" can still be of great value as how we symbolize and notate things can change our understanding of things.
I am not aware of anyone with a software engineering degree. Is that really a thing?

The biggest issue we’ve had with Blender is performance in any non-trivial scene, both in-viewport and while rendering. We’re constantly experiencing bottlenecks that appear to be coming from single-threaded operations. It’s very frustrating to see only 3-6% of your 16 core CPU and 0% of your GPU being utilized for large chunks of time.

It’s also been very difficult to find information on how to avoid these kinds of issues. I would love it if the documentation for every major feature included a table that listed multithreading support, GPU support, runtime complexity, memory complexity, etc. so that we could make more informed decisions.
Are you working less because you save commute time, and work more efficiently at your home workstation?

Or are you just clocking in less, also producing less?

The real problem here is that France has achieved this by steadfastly defending its nuclear for generations. Remember how Chernobyl's radioactive clouds stopped and turned around at the French border? Keeping the momentum is not that hard for the French government now.

Germany has been anti-nuclear for that time. No wonder when at least a section of the society believed that the US is planning to plant a nuclear minefield in their country. That's how you end up with Greens that would prefer coal over nuclear.

Which is the environment that prevents us from getting nuclear where we need it. In short term solar is way more promising on all accounts. Nuclear requires the project to survive a couple election cycles. Good luck with that.

The general case of implicit differentiation, i.e., for functions y(x) defined by the constraints F(x, y(x)) = 0, where x and y are vectors, is solved by "implicit function theorem": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

∂ y(x) = -(∂_1 F(x, y(x)))^{-1} (∂_0 F(x, y(x)))

where ∂ denotes partial differentiation.

This turns out to be an incredibly useful identity for calculating derivatives. No matter how you calculated a solution to the equation, computing derivatives is "just" a matter of performing a linear solve.

If the calculation you performed is a solution to solving an equation, implicit differentiation is typically much faster, less memory intensive and more accurate than calculating derivatives by differentiating through your solver. For examples, you might check-out a recent paper I co-authored with colleagues at Google: https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.15183
What is the benefit of mentoring or guiding less experienced workers through new tasks in person as opposed to remotely with voice calls and screen sharing / live multi-user document editing / similar real time collaboration tools?

I've generally found remote work a better model as all people involved can edit the same document / diagram / model / code at the same time collaboratively, or at least have a better view of a screen than what is projected at low quality on a wall or displayed on a single monitor that isn't large enough for people to read at a distance. Whiteboards are OK for toy problems but are a hindrance for anything complex.
Vulnerabilities may have been easier but the scope for damage was reduced. Certainly in my organisation (local government housing) the impact even just five years ago of all our systems being unavailable was a lot less than it would be now (mainly because we've spent the last five to ten years getting people to abandon paper processes). More than this, we used to have various "systems" which weren't really connected together in a way that could be usefully exploited. We had hundreds of dialup modems in sites which were probably terribly insecure but all they were connected to was a single building component. Now, there's a management console (and related database) which gives you access to hundreds of sites over the internet.
I cannot speak to what is easier or not. I was simply pointing out that you were laying down a blanket assertion that it was lazy and undisciplined, and that might not be universally appreciated.

Just because someone has extreme social anxiety doesn't mean they permanently refuse to take action. Sometimes they succeed in actively overcoming it and are capable of forming connections. Being in an environment where you can passively observe the character of others does tend to make it easier to approach them on the days when you're feeling up to it. A person might choose to work in an office because they understand this benefit of consistent forced exposure.
Here's my own prediction from going through this 5 years ago and being out of the office for awhile then going back on-site. It felt like going back and sitting in a high school classroom after I had already graduated. I had always been inside the rat maze and was suddenly outside it for the first time. My eyes were permanently opened to just how unnecessary to our jobs being physically present was and how much less I was getting done and how much more stress I had performing my work rather than doing my work.

There was no going back for me. I quit after 3 months on-site and found a remote job. I predict I will not be alone.
Working from home has been a boom pretty much for the same reasons mentioned as in the pro.

Random noises and sounds takes away focus and brings me out of "the zone".

I have a separate area where I work, I don't work any place other than that.
I went with Kef because they measure almost as well as Revel/Genelec, but were much cheaper than either of those options in my country.

Also Kef has a slightly higher directivity than Revel which I believe means that the room makes less difference to the sound than it would with a lower directivity speaker, so therefore it should sound better in worse/smaller rooms. I prefer the aesthetics of Kef over Revel/Genelec as well, but that's a matter of taste.

Very happy with my decision.
In this case, there is an alternative view to 'architecture astronaut': Conservative programming. If you don't have experience with the spec, it might not be clear that n<=4 is the reasonable maximum if the spec permits n=255. Who knows what horrible JPGs exist in the wild? Even if you only find examples to test n<=4, are you willing to take the risk ignoring what's left? Your code needs to be out in the real world for a while before you can truly say. Better a slow but working implementation.
If you use public transport, you can regain that time. In the UK you can get a seat on most rush hour trains, and even standing up on the Tube you can read a book, listen to a podcast, do your email etc. It's also good thinking time.

Driving a car yep you're absolutely right, but if you commute via car a long distance for a considerable amount of time I think you're crazy.

I could be biased due to jealousy of people who can use cannabis, since I can't for health reasons.

However, I've always wondered about the inconsistency of saying it's harmless and non-addictive, but also talking about the devastating effects of prohibition.

If it's everything people say it is, why were people driven to use it anyway despite the draconian penalties?

I may be unusually risk averse, but I wouldn't risk prison for, say, consuming or selling chocolate if that was illegal.
Google Black Founders Fund Awards Grants to Define and Robin AI
It’s funny because I feel like I’ve been reading article after article recently about how working in offices is dumb and they can’t imagine why anyone would do it anymore unless they were zombified corporate stooges. My feeling is that working in an office makes it possible for me to separate work from the rest of my life, and my commute (about 30 minutes, soon to be fifteen or less via public transit once I move) nicely bookends it, separating it off from the rest of my day. I have been dying to go back to the office since April 2020.
But there is much wrong with finger printing.
Other reviews for this book on Goodreads are equally high effort. It’s not uncommon to see long and insightful reviews in the Goodreads community. I’d assume good intent :)

Not necessarily. Smartphones have reached a level of performance and maturity that I could easily use one for 7 years if it wasn't for the planned obsolescence. But, somehow security updates stop arriving (even for Lineage). My next handset will be a Fairphone. At least they seem to be doing what they can to keep their devices running [1].

Apple is doing better. My SO has had their iPhone SE for 5 years now and updates keep coming.

That is because that is only place to buy anything. You wont buy bread in small town in the night either. Because the stores are closed.
I wrote a booklet[0] about being thrown into remote work, and as I gathered, really the only objections are the likes of this article, something along the lines of "We had this good thing in the office and now we don't have it therefore we need the office".

They all fail to use the important lesson Henry Hazlitt thought us:

> The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

Looking at the direct effects of being in or out of the office is very naive. They go further than that.
