Wow, during the red scare days the US deported a rocket scientist - Tsien Hsue-she - back to China where he bootstrapped their entire rocket program. Did not know that. Wonder where they would be today if the US decided to keep him in cal tech.
"the TLP"?

<Googles "works of Wittgenstein">. Ohh, the Tractatus. Ok. "You don't need a background" is absurd! Sure, you can physically read the words. But you won't have a clue why he's saying what he's saying, or what he meant by it. And Wittgenstein himself within a few years would've told you it's nonsense and not to go anywhere near it.
The systems are not fully deployed in Syria. Israel routinely flies F-16s in Syria without much of an issue.

They are in Syria in a pure intelligence capacity.

Beyond Russia and China (and possibly Venezuela), there are no fully operational VHF capable air defence systems

It's also incorrect to consider stealth as a yes/no. It's not a yes/no. It's a sliding scale with tradeoffs. Clearly China and Russia judged stealth to be much less important than the US did.

The USSR could definitely afford stealth aircraft and had all the necessary technology to make it before the US, yet they didn't, and for a reason.

As far as fighting the US Navy, the Chinese doctrine against the USN doesn't involve Chinese airplanes getting within VHF radar range of American large surface vessels before a crippling blow is already delivered.
Exactly - while Wasm is meant to be much lighter and free of backwards compatibility, and thus hopefully actually safe
The problem with it being a misinformation campaign is that it assumes our enemies are idiots.

No enemy worth worrying about is actually going to believe we've suddenly leapt thousands of years (or impossibly) ahead in technological development and created anti-gravity drones, much less then leaked it to the press.
I tried to do this with reading books by putting a kindle on my desk so that I would see that want to read (I did a lot of reading in high school and it was very enjoyable so I'm sure I'll still enjoy it).
But I just ended up ignoring the kindle and still continue to play mobile games on my phone or watch TV and movies on my laptop.

I agree with trashing things completely and I tried to do things like hiding the app store on my phone but I would still end up sometimes still opening the play store and installing a game.
But I can't get rid of my phone completely since I do need it for other work things.

I want to replace these bad activities with a better activity but it seems hard when I can just start playing a movie and get that instant dopamine without needing to do any work.
The current military is like google saying: We're number 1 in browsers and search, but we need to spend 80% of our profits to ensure we stay ahead of the game. We also need to spend more than the 3x the next 10 competitors combined, or we might as well quit.

They'd be broke in record time.
If you think a pre-print is a better source than an academic letter (published in a reputable scientific journal, which implies at least editorial review), then lets agree to disagree.
In internal presentations at Google (& FB too? Can’t recall). I think some of this may have published but I’m not too keen to do research at the moment. At the very least it might appear in Laszlo’s book.
I think the fact that you can save WASM memory / state will yield itself for very powerful applications in the future.

I think there's a world where true time-travel debugging is possible because you execute your Python program inside of a WASM VM & with WASM, you can save the memory/local registers/etc. and do true backwards/forwards execution.
Wearing a mask when around others during a pandemic is neither pointless nor counterproductive.
Being reminded of an ongoing genocide makes some people upset. Those people might choose to avoid reading about it.
Some of my best work memories are from the military doing crap work with great people. Everyone just ate the shit sandwich together. Sometimes I miss it but then I remember how awful those sandwiches were. We had a pretty bad “event” at my current employer and as much as I didn’t sleep and eat I look back on it fondly. Something about shared misery builds rose colored memories
What if I go back and reinstall it again later?
I've done this multiple times with some mobile games I've played that were really good.
The subtitle of your very url is:

> While 20 percent of its 140,000 employees will be fully remote

Also, further down

> While Google says the majority of its employees will work from the office around three days a week, it also says it’ll make it easier for employees to switch between offices or to work fully remotely.

Meanwhile, the subtitle of OPs is:

> Employees can work remotely for up to two weeks a year

And there's nothing about full time remote. So they seem quite different.
But substantially more closely related psychology.
The iterative & incremental or evolutionary model has been applied to aircraft for a few decades now. It can work, it lets you build a solid plan (but not necessarily full plan), build a working but incomplete system, and validate and verify your work as you progress.

F-35 was not agile in any sense, it was one of those. The agile work on the software side has been SAFe which is dogmatic, inflexible garbage. However even that was not originally the case, SAFe came much later after the more traditional (and closer to Waterfall) approach led to a clusterfuck of 24-hour a day development and testing to get the thing airborne.
We’ve been back in the office since September 2020 with masks. We are now a mask free workplace as of two days ago if you are vaccinated. Any delay to return to normalcy at this point is absurd.
Doesn't look like it. Those are some complex solutions, and I might have missed something, but do note that I said 'boot disk'. From what I can tell, those solutions still have to leave /boot unencrypted, which was my point.
It's not even really a culture thing it's a "the earth isn't flat so we're awake at different times" thing.
Can this handle uploading csvs?
The thing is, if increased cyberwarfare capabilities allow you to exploit some large percentage of the drone force, then that would leave an extremely large gap to exploit by the enemy. If you can't fly drones because you risk them being crashed (or worse, turned on you), then you need some backup force. That might be real pilots, or it might be non-remote-controlled drones, or some combination of things like that.

There's a Teams channel that people chat in all day long. I've had to mute it, because otherwise it's just binging and bonging and flashing popups in my face constantly.

If people want something, they can send an email. Those aren't ephemeral.
Fascism or public-private partnership... It's the same in-group in power, protecting each other, regardless of which arm of the state (corporate, government, religion, media, universities) is currently doing the most effective social engineering.
Any recommended fitness games?
I think the idea makes sense but I feel like I'll just be lazy and choose the easier game that doesn't require me to move when it comes to deciding what game to play.
Flashy recruitment B-roll
Depends on your character, stage of your life and priorities. It looks way different when you’re young, outgoing single person. Vs when you’re older, with a family (and tons of obligations) and introverted. Work is then often a place where you socialize and take a break from all the other stuff happening in your life.

Ask HN: Is there a name for this line of thought?
Often I'll get an idea, then I'll think about how simple it seems and how it's likely already been tried / done a million times, and I'll drop that line of thought. But then I think about how that exact thinking has probably kept countless others from attempting it. It's like a crowd effect, but across every developer through time.
I also have found the same success. The more i lean into supporting insect diversity the more prolific my garden becomes. Do you have any tips for supporting wasps? I make sure to have water available for them at all times.
CSV is more of a rumor than a standard, plus JSON can have a tree structure. It is a fun idea to think about and may be useful in some narrow cases, but will fail in almost all but those most trivial of structures.
Is it twice-thrice as beautiful as the rest of the country though?
The username is apt. Locating baseload plants closer to where power is used would be more efficient to provide district heating along with lower transmission costs.
Does that prevent, or more expose?
The F-35 program was expected to cost $200 billion, but delays brought the total in over $400 billion.

With a lifetime cost in the $1.5 trillion range.

When you're talking about trillion dollars to acquire some aircraft, I think the word expensive is justified.

Hm I actually think stopping completely is very important.
If I let myself watch even one tv show or install one game to play then I'll have the urge to keep doing that action for hours and the next day as well.

I find it a lot healthier to eliminate these dangerous activities altogether.

But curious to hear if you have other thoughts
That's a pretty unfair characterization of people who prefer to work remotely.

However, your last point about letting remote employees stay remote and letting people who prefer office-work to come into the office, I optimistically agree with. It works when everyone knows how to work with remote employees, and that the option is exactly that: an option. This last year and a half I hope has been helpful in getting everyone up to speed on that. It requires a cultural dedication, and assuming people have learned something from this remote experience, they'll carry that knowledge and flexibility with them going forward.
Berkshire Hathaway has an exactly the same approach: an acquired company keeps operating in the way which made it successful.

I won't say this approach turned out bad for Berkshire or Mr. Buffett personally.
Why does it need to relaunch? You now have a forward operating base that can secure the rocket. You can break the rocket apart and truck it back. Or put it on a ship. Lots of options here. The important part is probably getting there in 1 hour not necessarily getting back quickly.
> It’s actual literal point is to make a lot of people a lot of money.

Indeed. "The purpose of a system is what it does"
The B-52 was never designed for stealth.

If stealth isn't very helpful, why would you fly the slow and expensive F-35? I don't really understand it.

I'm sure the people behind the F-35 were aware of these technical factors, maybe not the extent of Russian/Chinese investment though, but I don't think that their interests were anything beyond making as much money out of maintenance as possible.

As for the people making the purchases, many of them do think that the F-35 made the wrong tradeoffs and a lot of them are pushing for a plane that would fulfill the same role as the F-35 was designed for but with a very different set of tradeoffs.
A columnar structure is definitely popular in the analytics community, although there are binary formats that are faster to scan again and can be mmap'd for zero-copy access.

The fundamental problem with CSV is that it has no canonical form or formal construction. Even the RFC documents it by example and historical reference, rather than from first principles, and does so with liberal use of "maybe". Consequently being very easy to fling about as a human but much harder to reason about in the abstract, and this is most evident when you get bogged down in the gritty details of writing a CSV importer for your application.
There you go. Now you understand.
Sure thing.

Devs develop locally. Can test their code (manual test and most automated tests).

They push and open a PR. They can deploy ephemeral environments with any dependent microservices spun up along side. This is an in house tool we developed that builds and deploys ephemeral docker, CDK, and terraform based apps.

We then run CI automation against their PRs. This can include E2E tests courtesy of these ephemeral environments.

Once their PR is green and signed off, they merge to master. We’ve done some wizardry behind the scenes so that their code is live in production in around 3 minutes.

They verify their changes in prod and we run any automated regression tests against prod.

Next person merges as they see fit.

That’s it! It’s not easy to get to that point, but once you’re there it’s a great process. We’ll have capacity issues once we get up to 30 or 40 releases per day in a repo, but I’ve got some ideas about how to work around that.
> Surely there are other reasons to leave your home than work and other people to socialize with in person than co-workers.

I wouldn't be surprised if people who don't have local family or established friends in the area and live in cities where talking to strangers is considered threatening behavior tend to socialize primarily, if not exclusively, with co-workers.
For proof of stake, I agree - I think it's useful to instead focus on net issuance. For ETH2 this could very well could be negative since the base transaction fee will be burned, and transaction fees currently are greater than miner rewards a decent percentage of the time.

Proof of stake coins that don't have much usage and mostly pay out rewards from new issuance have an interesting piece.. - they are inflating the base supply to pay out dividends that holders pay taxes on. Effectively moving normal gains from the capital gains bracket to regular income, which is sub-optimal.

For DeX's, the image is a lot better - the biggest issue here is - are fees arbitrarily high, and will they go down over time. My gut says the percentage fee will go down, but the volume increase will more than make up for this loss.
We have watercooler chats in zoom. After standup, if organic conversions pop up, they are considered sacred.

I have been working remotely for my entire work life (11 years employed, about 5 years freelance) and I am a very happy person.

To be fair, I'm also developed some very strong friendships over the internet (through videogames), so i guess i have a lot of experience in the field
On the other hand, where I live the marginal cost of an extra bedroom (to put a home office in) for a city apartment is about $1000 a month. In some higher cost of living cities it will be more.

It’s be cheaper out in the suburbs, but even then it might be another few hundred a month.

I’m surprised that people are talking about things like electricity costs when real estate costs are so much higher.
I'm not responding to your criticism of Google Search. I'm suggesting to anyone who shares your sentiment something that improved my dev experience.

I also use the uBlacklist extension to hide W3Schools et al. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi...

I actually make these whenever I get frustrated by Google a few times. I have "m" for MDN... It's not hard you just need to pick a keyword. How to modify the URL in the search string should be pretty obvious. I think you'll find you don't need them for every library. It's mostly general tools with large user bases, like Python, where people are trying to make a living shitting up the search results.
Which leaves bigger debt for users to overcome and work past to continue to see even the original value prior to all of this financial activity.

If the burden gets too big, people won't believe it's worth it, and the whole thing dies.
This isn’t difficult

It indeed is [1].

Expected: a yellow line crossing an entire 236x236 image, in all three cases.

Explanation: svg default size is lunatic (300x150) and it doesn't care of your layout modes, so it clips all drawing beyond that, unless you specify either width/height attributes (not css properties!), or a viewBox, from which it infers missing width/height.

I lost a day to this once, when parent-filling svg clipped 3 of my 5 shapes for no fucking reason. Shapes coincidentally fell either fully into 300x150 box or fully outside of it -- no easy hint for you.

You can pre-calculate that in js, but if you specify .wrapper's dimensions in non-px, or use some aspect fit, you're screwed as well.

Totally, and I think that's ok! I'm not intending to suggest that there is one true way. In fact, I think the very point I'm getting at is that there is not one true way. Different situations work better for different people in different roles, and even for the same person in the same role, the ideal situation may change from one quarter to the next.

Where I take issue is with people suggesting that it would be insane to ever ask anyone to come to an office again, for the same reason I think it would be insane to tell people that working from home is a waste of time/not productive/etc. To this end, a hybrid work environment may not be any better, since it forces an individual person to balance both (I.e. your extroverts are still expected to be home 2x/week, and your introverts are still expected to be at the office 3x/week)

The challenge for leaders of companies that are trying to navigate this (and one of the reasons that people will probably always be dissatisfied with the outcome) is that there is no perfect solution. You go full remote, you'll have people who miss the office (and almost certainly some intangibles will be lost). You go full in-office, and you'll have some less productive people who spend way too much time commuting and pay too much in rent. You go hybrid, and you still have people paying too much in rent, and now they also have to commute sometimes, and the people who want to be in the office aren't for 2 days/week, etc. Adding insult to injury, if you allow individual people to make their own decisions (some remote, some in-office) you'll have imbalances in career progressions, where people who have more facetime will be more likely to receive promotions and raises than their less visible, fully-remote counterparts.

It's a challenging topic, and it's not clear to me there is a solution that is "fair," insofar as fairness is even a thing we can measure here.
Where do you think VCs get their ideas from?
Don't Be a Blockhead: Zoned Namespaces Make Work on Conventional SSDs Obsolete [pdf]
As someone who works for a global firm that has been back to the office since October I 100% agree.

We have a policy where you are free to work from home if you like given that there are no COVID cases in the city I live in however we have seen large influxes of staff returning to the office.

For me, its exactly the reasons you've called out.

At the end of the day there is no one size fits all for everyone, the same way that working in an office doesn't work for anyone. However I do believe that people should be given the option.
Off topic, but I really can’t wait for the approval/EUA for children under 12 to happen because the only people who are still unvaccinated in my family are my kids which to a large degree means we have to keep being very careful. Seems like that age group won’t be able to get vaccinated until October at the earliest and frankly that sucks.
>>>Sounds like the national defense equivalent of rewriting your website from scratch in $LATEST_WEBSHIT_FRAMEWORK. Sure, it's a worse product, but just imagine how great it _could_ be if we halt development of the working version and spend a trillion dollars making the new one work.

And eventually the Air Force came to its senses, accepted the "pull request" for upgrades on its big workhorse F-15 "library"....and now we are getting the awesome F-15EX. Something we should have been working on before they even cancelled the F-22.

This is why I like the Russian approach to military R&D: they do a small number of cutting-edge products to keep their engineers employed and their tech as current as possible given their constraints, but the bulk of their actual inventory is continuous refinements of solid legacy systems, tweaked and rolled out at fairly low cost.

Su-27 -> Su-30 -> Su-34 and 35 (honestly even the Su-57 planform is clearly an extension of this airframe if you look at it closely)

T-72 -> T-90 -> latest upgrade packages for both (T-72B3M and T-90M Breakthrough-3)
Playing games definitely make me feel bad because they're a waste of time and are unfulfilling, but the hard part is that they're also super fun and engaging while you're playing them, which makes it hard to kill that desire to have that feeling.
Out of curiosity I've done code searches on identifying substrings and found code from my stackoverflow answers all over the place, though of course the hits tend to be in that long tail of seldom used code out there. Pretty sure my most used code would be in deliberate open source contributions.
I only see 50 there. Are you sure you're looking at unarmed 2020 and not for all years?

I also just looked at a few unarmed shootings at random to get an idea of what they were like. Of the three I looked up I saw one guy who was shot while fighting with a police officer after being discovered at the scene of a burglary. One guy who was shot after a car chase when, after they had caught him, he got behind the wheel of a police car and the police shot him to prevent another chase. One guy, after stabbing someone to death and being approached by multiple police officers, faked a draw to "suicide by cop". My point is, I don't think it's even clear that all (or even most) of the 50 unarmed shootings are unjustified.
Work thou for pleasure; paint or sing or carve

Yep. WFH gives me more time to have the social interactions I chose to have.
> CSV is more of a rumor than a standard

This reminds me of something my boss at a previous job would say: "I am morally opposed to CSV."

Why? Because we worked at an NLP company, where we would frequently have tabular data featuring commas, which means if we used CSV we'd have a lot of overhead involving quoting all our CSV data. Instead my boss preferred TSV (T = tab) as our preferred tabular data format, which was much simpler for us to parse since we didn't really deal with any fields that had \t in them.

It is. And I am even fan of Ethereum. But still, wasting space and energy on ISS for what can be done literally anywhere on Earth seems unreasonable. Why did organization(s) that run ISS agreed to that? What is the motive?
I mean, they are being paid to do this.
I think the general idea is "shift left" which you can say exposes bugs earlier, or prevents bugs from reaching production, which is kind of a "six dozen of one, half dozen of the other". Bugs which are exposed early enough do not get committed.

"Shift left" just means that you shift the feedback to the developer farther left in the build process, closer (in time and space) to when the mistake was made.
if you use an ide that supports it, then having an independent cursor, pointer and screen marker is infinitely better than sitting awkwardly aside and pointing finger. That and having your own IDE and browser to perform code search or testing in parallel.

I'd use vscode live share even in the office, which begs the question what even is the role of the office in facilitating pair programming
