> Me and my teammates also become more efficient when we work together in the same physical space

I've found it the complete opposite in software. Zoom screen sharing is so much easier than peering over someone's shoulder at their dark-mode IDE. Copy-and-pasting a command in the chat window - what an improvement! How many times have I said this to someone?

> "s c p space s v 0 1 colon forward-slash t m p"

Ug.

Design meetings are so much easier when I can see the UI on my screen, instead of halfway across the conference room.

We also do a lot of work with a team at another location and again - when we are all on zoom together now we can all see each other, we can all interreact when each other. It used to be 6 of us on one conference room and six of them in another conference room trying to talk to each other over a tinny speaker.

I hope I never have to go through any of that ever again.

Hacker Seeking Problem
Hi all, that's my first post here, so I hope I haven't crossed any lines with it. In short - I am bored at my current job, but it has some benefits - I have enough free time to pursue my own interests, learn new things and so on. Thus, I don't want new job, I want to work on something interesting as a side project, which hopefully can work out as something bigger in the future. If anyone has anything interesting in mind, which requires a partner, please ping me. I am 36 yo, but work as software developer for almost 20 years. Currently I hold a software manager position, which includes hiring and couching people. I can do almost any kind of business software, last few years I work predominantly in web applications (full stack). My minus is the UI/UX part of the applications, i.e. HTML/CSS tweaking and so on. But I have some very good former employees that I can work with, in case it's needed.
Hell, not even Fortran and Cobol are really dead, and Perl is way more popular still. You still have millions of perl scripts running daily, many of them doing some really critical stuff. It's not mainstream language anymore as it used to be once upon the time, but falling from spotlights isn't the same as dying (which Cobol demonstrates successfully again and again every few decades).
My personal take is that the Incel phenomenon is not actually about the sexual dynamic, but that society builds a wrong narrative about what the modal heterosexual dynamic is; Incels attract hate because they are working to break the narrative and they have a massive and annoying sense of entitlement.

It's not just that we can't help them. It's that we can't help them and there is a kernel of truth to what they are saying. It's also incredibly hard to tell someone to drop their standards.
I remember this script was a must back in 2017, didn't know they maintained it until today!
There are "bad" uses of UFCS, and good ones (sometimes depending on preference). For example, I hate code like `1.writeln`.

The major feature that it provides is pipelining (as shown in the article)
They did reduce default quality for corona reasons before, might be the same thing?
It would be interesting to see a plot of website size vs average bandwidth over time. I do wonder if perhaps a 10MB page size on a modern connection is any worse than a 10k page size on a dial up modem.

This is obviously a simplification that ignores bandwith prices, the wide spread in connection speeds, latency, etc.

The flip side is that these pages often do a lot more (and often for user benefit) than old websites. Everyone hates ad filled news websites, but we've always had ad/popup issues, and users do increasingly demand interactivity on pages and high quality imagery, which take a lot of bandwidth.
This is such a great plot beginning for a new Skynet story :)
How would that relate to landlords? If everyone has UBI, then everyone has more money to compete for the better rental properties. The landlord would have to get their UBI directly, and that might still not be enough.
Please provide your observations and improvements.
In regards to the physical changes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596698/

> It has been widely found that the volume of the brain and/or its weight declines with age at a rate of around 5% per decade after age 401 with the actual rate of decline possibly increasing with age particularly over age 70.

I feel like that's probably a big one without getting into the functional changes.

And just adding a bunch of neurons would probably be like giving your computer a new HDD. I think that the argument is about how it's important to preserve the information contained within the old neurons somehow.
>and then the service is down for half a day, your data got restored from days old backups (if at all)

It's not unheard of for the same thing to happen with in-house systems.

The difference is that you may have a wider range of options to avoid and respond to any outage if you run things yourself. That seems to be a rather theoretical advantage though. Every time there's a new ransomware attack, it's always those in-house deployments that are hit hardest and take the longest to recover.

I think under optimal conditions self-hosting is superior. But conditions are rarely optimal. As soon as you have to convince non-technical management to invest in non-productive necessities or in contingency planning you're already in a sub-optimal position.
It's boastful among those on the pro government control side of things (so most of HN according to the downvotes).

It's signaling your virtue. It's saying aren't I a good citizen for listening to the _science_. Isn't it great that I locked myself up because I care about you.
Interestingly, they (or at least not all of them) didn't fake it - there's a style option on the tab control to turn tabs into push buttons. It looked exactly like the task bar - maybe the task bar was actually implemented using that control.
I just boxed win10 into a vm with firewall. Add some restore points and networkshared disk and it's usable.
No need to break end to end encryption, they already control both ends.
And the unencrypted backups
This gem.

>Out of an abundance of love for the mobile web, Google has volunteered to run the infrastructure, especially the user tracking parts of it.

Very well written article, even if it is almost as long as a Russian novel:) But i don't know how to check, can someone tell me how big the page is? And maybe by comparison, how big this HN page is.

Globally may not be a problem but it does make it far easier for hiring managers to reach outside their immediate area and look nationally. That may not change things much in Europe, where distances are short but in the US that's potentially a huge hiring pool. Even if you limit yourself to just your time zone, how many competent developers reside in EST?
I liked the new design but what always keeps me out of firefox is the performance. I dont know if its some UI trick but chrome just feels a lot faster no matter what the benchmarks says. (https://arewefastyet.com/)
English is a highly recombinant language, it’s natural for English speakers to pull words from German or elsewhere rather than inventing new English words from scratch.
Non-poor American and European kids certainly have influence over how their parents spend money on them - almost all of them have discretion over which clothes and accessories are bought for them, if not how much money will be spent.

Saturday morning cartoons were invented to sell things to American kids (by way of them begging their parents).

I think you read too much into this.

It is a service that will allow say a Dane to use Danish NemID instead of a Swedish bankid when working in Sweden.

And it is not for monitoring you. It is for authenticating you in a manner that is explicitly under your control.
Equivalent housing on overground commuter lines to London in the UK, compared that of inside London, is basically <rail fare> per month cheaper to mortgage.

For many people it comes down to whether they can afford to deposit or get the income multiple loan to buy in the city, not monthly expense.

If your mother was healthy and lived in the same household, maybe it wasn’t necessary behavior, but for folks like myself (and the countless millions of other Americans) whose family lives across the country and are severely immunocompromised, it was absolutely necessary.

Yes it is true that you can deal with that amount of latency, but 10-20ms is way up in the 'very sloppy' range especially when it comes to recording.
Measuring which way is down, on a platform that is constantly moving around, seems tricky, yes. Depends how accurate you want it to be.
> What's the difference if it's empty?

Was it empty though? There is a shortage in housing and it's pretty rare to have an empty rental in this market. You're injecting conditions that don't really exist to make your point.
We need four major changes to our economies, and these require political willpower:

1. Direct user road charging, including a User Interface inside the vehicle to communicate costs (based on weight, location, time, distance). This will have positive externalities by shifting use from peak to off-peak.

2. Smart charging for EVs based on current energy prices. Makes sense for as much charging to be done overnight when demand is low. Could also be used for other appliances.

We want to avoid the dumb situation of commuters getting home at 6pm, plugging in the car right at peak usage, and the charging to be completed at around midnight when demand is lowest anyway. Better to shift that demand.

3. Carbon tax.

4. Overhauling road design to suit autonomous vehicles instead of just human drivers.
There was one of those spamming the Racket mailing list now for years. WTF is the deal with that anyway?

Training to detect UseNet kooks should not be that hard doing it on just keywords is just stupid.
Yeah, I agree.

Aside from the commute itself I don't mind working at the office and seeing people.

It ain't good to be holed up like a hermit not socializing.

I'd like a good balance of some office days and WFH days.
The person is a landlord, they are providing housing.
With that kind of thinking, we can soon make sure the person with 5 houses has much fewer houses, possibly 0? The problem with redistribution is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.
Sure. The irony is that it won’t really matter because COVID. Landlords are desperate for cash, so they’ll wind up taking anyone with the deposit and first month’s rent - i.e. as the gp described, it will be the great deadbeat shuffle.
But one of these passes is nearly worthless (in the sense of impersonation) if you don't also have a valid ID of the person it got issued to and you look the same.

When my vaccination pass would "leak" then my name & birthdate would be leaked and they would know someone of that name and birthdate got vaccinated but other than that, they can't impersonate me as if they presented the pass they would be asked to show the corresponding ID as well.

Speaking as someone who has struggled depression, alcohol, eating, and other issues, I can confirm that the only solution is to make the effort to change.

Therapy and medication can help, but every solution comes down to individual effort, and nobody can do it for you.

It is important to recognize that falling into depression, addition, and neurotic behavior IS a personal failure, as only then can someone forgive themselves and seek change. Acceptance, accountability, and agency are key
Slightly off-topic, but for European readers:

Is how Facebook is trying to off-load cookie control onto the user's browser configuration anything close to compliant with law?

This is the only instance of a company I have seen not bothering with 'Accept' vs some other complicated choice dialog (and I only saw this because I was annoyed by WhatsApp forcing the TOS change and, lo, they seem to be forcing 'Allow all' for cookies too?)
Personal anecdote so take this as you will. I've recently been apartment hunting in Minnesota trying to move closer to work. Almost every property owner I've talked to has mentioned evictions and how they'll have apartments free to rent in just over a month. I had never encountered a property owner who openly talked about evicting tenants but in the past week I've encountered three.

That to say I fully believe we are about to see lots of messy evictions in the US.
I don’t really follow your logic.

The Danish strategy is to test a lot of people and catch new cases early.

Requiring a green corona passport when entering various establishments where transmission can happen, is both a way to decrease the chance of transmission in these places, and to force more people to get tested, to hopefully catch asymptomatic people before they infect too many other people.

If you want to represent different rotations as differential Euler angles, then I think you can say it's a property of Euler angles, or at least linked to them.
Yeah, even in the same physical size a larger screen is not strictly better. It's mostly better, but my thumb has not gotten longer just because the screen is bigger and things which I used to be able to reach with it are now out of reach.
