> The camera and microphone in your laptop are sufficient.

The mic _might_ be sufficient, but if you don't have at least headphones you run a high risk of feedback, where the laptop mic picks up the output from the speakers when other people are talking. I personally find this extremely annoying and so the first thing I invest in for my teleconferencing setup is always a headset with a mic on it. The mic on the headset is always much better in my experience and it allows you to avoid external noises such as keys clicking when you type. Wanna make notes on the call? I hope you have a headset mic.

> make sure the room behind you is tidy.
> Pay attention to clothes and grooming.

I really couldn't care, my whole house is a mess. Also I have a big bushy neckbeard and I refuse to iron shirts because I think it's a waste of time, particularly if I'm working from home in a non-customer-facing role. These items are more of a signal about cultural expectations: if your company values these things, that's fine, but I'm probably not going to want to work there.

A more important signal for me is if you have an appropriate space to do your job should you pass the interview and be hired. Everyone has their own ideal setup, but knowing that a candidate has a place that they will be truly comfortable in --- somewhere they can focus, with a comfortable or ergonomic chair --- is important, because it's low on the hierarchy of needs for doing your job well. I would hate to work sat in the kitchen in an uncomfortable dining chair, table too high for my arms and too low for the screen on my laptop, so my neck and arms are bent, constant distractions with people around me. I could not work effectively in that environment.

Don’t think that works for pedos. But if we’re not allowed to see the NSLs, then who knows what they contain.
The product passion matters a lot more if you're doing research/design/UX. If you're more into development (implementation of the research), you don't need to care what it is

With research, it's vague. Someone who does half as much work but does the right kind of work will go much further. Data isn't enough for research insight; attention matters more.
I would like to know too. But I can tell you about my experience.

I experienced something similar after moving to college from my hometown. Obviously the food was much different to what I had at my home. This led to me having cognitive and physical issues for 5 years that I stayed in the dorms. I used to feel like a zombie, no motivation or enthusiasm and a host of other symptoms. During my internship in my final year, I was diagnosed with something similar to IBS.

The solution was just to be conscious about what you eat and how it makes you feel.

The food at my internship was of such poor quality that it made me feel drained for many hours after eating. This was what prompted me to get checked seriously.

Am I better now? On average yes, but never like I was before moving to college. I eat a very restrictive diet. Semi permanent damages to one's system is not uncommon for people diagnosed with IBS.
ok, I guess "moving part" would have been more precise, still the argument holds: that coil breaks.
Ask HN: What's an e-ink tablet with SDK/toolchain for lag-free stylus and WiFi?
Hi HN,
I'm keen to develop a self-hosted/offline-first notes taking program, with an integrated Zettelkasten system (see Roam/org-roam), and sync across devices. For the main notes creation phase, I currently use a Huion canvas tablet with my laptop - but ideally, I envision something like the Remarkable 2 or sort-of-similar tablet. I'm currently using FabricJS in the browser, but I'm not tied to this across devices - happy to develop native code.

The problem is I haven't found a suitable device yet. The Remarkable 2 has some toolchain/user code allowed, but apparently the GUI side is hacked/reverse engineered.

I've tried a Boox Note 3 with HTML/canvas drawing but the lag was insane, and the "e-ink" cheated by drawing a low-res segment before "painting it in" afterwards which was very jarring.

The in-build software for note taking in existing tablets are useless for me, as I don't want to export individual notes to PDF or save them on somebody else's computer just to sync.

So I'm looking for:
1) A tablet I can use outdoors (prefer e-ink-ish for reading in the evening)
2) Battery-free stylus (negotiable)
3) Developer friendly (must have)
4) Access to the GUI/Stylus without lag (must have)
5) Wifi access so I can sync with other devices
6) C/C++/Python/Java/Javascript would be great, but other languages considered.
7) If I can run Syncthing on it, that would just be amazing.
8) Ideally, no hacky/reverse-engineered stuff that's going to break with the next unprompted/accidental update.

I have emailed Reinkstone to ask them to test FabricJS (http://fabricjs.com/freedrawing), but they seem very busy at the moment and haven't gotten around to testing it. I have been badgering Remarkable and Kobo on Facebook since they keep advertising at me but no luck yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

The instructions on PFP website for how to do various things, they often begin with the following steps:

> Click PfP icon on any website

> Enter your master password

Can't a website just fake a PFP icon to induce you to reveal your master password, and now the website owner has access to all of your generated passwords? Isn't this exactly the type of attack that caused taviso to write OP?
I agree, the “batteries included” approach makes it very attractive for a new startup to use to get off the ground quickly. But in every case I have seen (3 separate companies now) it lets the team run up a huge amount of tech debt and get a lot of features locked into a very unscaleable, unperformant, architecture.

It’s tempting to prototype with it, but I can’t think of a single use case that wouldn’t be better served with another framework.

Taxation of your intellectual property rights would cause you to seek out the best use of those rights.

If you have a good idea and patent it, then taxation of that patent right would force you to license it or lose your monopoly protection granted by the government.

If you have a good expression of an idea and copyright it, then taxation of that copyright would force you to license it or lose your monopoly protection granted by the government.

Either way, you are still granted the IPRs, on a "pay for it" basis that captures some of that value back.
I think that this post has been "re-upped". I submitted it quite early yesterday and it sank without trace. However, someone later submitted the same story from a different source, and that post attracted 222 comments. That thread is:

I think so, yeah. Aside from not listening to the obvious warning signs (insomnia, anxiety, depression, increased frequency of physical illness, etc.), there were definitely other red flags.

I think my biggest since issue was - and probably continues to be - very poor work/life balance (no hobbies, basically no social life outside of work, etc). Obviously it's hard to disentangle cause and effect, but I suspect a prerequisite for getting burnout is having a mania or hyper-fixation on work.

I think the author missed something quite important in its analysis. For me, what's gripping about Everywhere At The End Of Time is that all my grandparents are alive, and this will probably not be the case in a few years. My grandmother has Alzheimer's, and it's hard to put into words what I feel when she doesn't recognize me. Listening to this album is a way of knowing that I'm not the only one struggling with these feelings, and it helps. It's like that one time I googled "phobia of sticky paper" and found out other people like me, that get really disgusted by stickers. I know some people are going through the same things as me, and it helps. That's one of the things really unique and that I love about internet and the social media.

Its hard to say as the process is not described well. It seems to be, but i know that this kind of article is obscure on purpose to let readers imagine all kind of applications.
I didn't say a letter would make everything work out for everyone... I said you have to speak up to have the opportunity - and speaking up can be done without being a "sqeaky wheel" (AKA: complainy pants).

Personally, I don't think they'll find a way to make EVERYONE happy. Someone isn't going to get the option they want (100% wfh? work at a remote location because they don't like the main office? etc). There's no way they can.

BUT

The group speaking up CAN put more pressure to have options that will make more people happy. If hundreds of employees say "Look at the numbers and look at news stories talking about 40%+ of employees willing to leave a job without WFH and etc"...

If I say "I'm not open to 100% in the office" and Tim says no?

If 80 say it... if 2800 say it...

Tim can ignore 1 person. Can he ignore 80? 200? 2000?

If you aren't interested in leaving but you want better options then you have two things at odds with each other. You may be interested in staying but if staying means you work in a office you hate or have a commute you hate or whatever... then that's on YOU to decide what's more important - a job at apple or a job with WFH.

At the end of the conversation... the letter tells Tim (or whatever CEO gets a similar letter with more than a couple signatures) that he risks losing a sizable number of employees. That letter isn't from one person... it's from a large group of people.

It's up to Tim to decide if the risk of losing talent is worth sticking to the currently given options.

It's up to you and me if it's worth the lack of option you want to stay at the current job.

Like i said... I'd probably look for work if asked to be in the office 5 days a week due to my commute. I don't blame them for asking and given some thought I don't think a letter from a "union" or "employee group" in this circumstance is bad.
I really hope this is not something like the false joy i had when it was said we were able to remove ligogen from hardwood completely and that the carbon structure was almost as strong as steel. Three years later, i'm still waiting for it :/
Curious which part of Indonesia are u referring to? Indonesia rank 73 out of 190 countries. Indonesia trying to reform the law but it is still problematic. Corruption and bureaucracy is till problematic in Indonesia. Legal system is inconsistent and difficult to navigate. Infrastructure still lacking. Ethnic violence and Islam Radicalization is always pose challenge to the Indonesia political stability.
Enterprise SSDs use capacitor backed dram to buffer writes.

Some consumer SSDs do that, too. But with significant smaller amounts of dram.

This can intercept all the small writes that you e.g. do for metadata of the filesystem and via mapping can combine them into very few big writes. Or writes to the same position over and over again only need to touch the flash when the devices is powering down.

Are there any QLC enterprise SSDs? All the cheaper used enterprise SSDs I looked up where using TLC so far.

I agree with everything you said.

Not sure about this though:

> I would say that the number of jobs that require the mastery of the craft is not large.

Perhaps the number of jobs that require mastery is less well known? i.e. Not advertised as often / not vacant as often.

I suppose I'm splitting hairs here in one's definition of "not large", by in my circles (~25 years of dev working experience) there are quite a lot of "jobs" requiring mastery, but they certainly do become available less often (or rather, they're usually quietly filled without much public notice).

Ask HN: How to Deal with Multiple Resignations?
Last month our company president in the US announced that the electronics manufacturing department in Australia (former head office) will be made redundant and production is moving to the US. The R&D team of 8 electronics and software engineers in AU has been assured that their jobs are safe but 3 have already resigned. The US has a small engineering team but have plans to hire 4 more engineers.

What should we do to boost morale and prevent further resignations? Promise a bonus if they stay for 12 months? Immediate salary increases? Expedite hiring replacements for the engineers who resigned? Invest in professional development training courses for the remaining engineers?

I think we should try to avoid it at all costs, because otherwise we can't keep a liberal society. Being able to think and express yourself risks offending others. I do not like what this guy had to say, but I'd rather he not get sacked - same with people on the 'opposite' side of the debate. It's gross but we have to stick up for people to be allowed to say gross things.
To extract 1 kg from 0.2 ppm seawater, you need to process 5e6 kg of water.

$5 of electricity at $0.09/kWh is 200 MJ, which is enough to pump that much water 40 m high, or push it through a membrane with 4 bar pressure drop.

So you can't do very much to seawater at that price point. Like many "scientists develop cheap ___" headlines, it may just cover part of the process and not the whole operation.

> neither violent or intolerant

You didn't notice hundreds of millions in damage in multiple states? I think the number may be in the billions... Court houses destroyed... people killed... ran over.. 4 years of violence. Flash mobs against people who go against the Woke tenants and Woke Crusaders to burn the heathens at the stake.

Overblown? Violence and destruction continues by "peaceful activists" as they spread Love and Tolerance by destroying those who disagree.

"Police are infallible" thanks to people willing to lie and destroy to get their ways. And while the violence escalates and police get more "infallible?"... people around the country are more unsafe than ever... the cities that are defunding police are seeing spikes in violence, murder, robberies, etc.

Because idiots focus on a couple bad apples and ignore the millions of good interactions and positive things police provide.

"too bad for them" I like how your basic premise is "they aren't violent or intolerant" yet it's fear and violence that are making "them" scared.

Too bad for them? Too bad for the hypocrites that use hate to fight hate and racism to fight racism and violence to support lies.

The standard phone system only supports limited frequencies - it's a technological issue not an issue of good or 'bad' carriers.

You can suggest other non-standard technology which may not be available on the other end, but that defeats the point of using a normal telephone line as suggested and you might as well suggest Zoom in that case.

Americans can skip reporting or paying taxes on small transactions under $200 in foreign currencies.

Appears Strike (Zap wallet) recognized user base consists largely of U.S. based drug dealers, so by lobbying El Salvador into doing this they'll shield U.S. drug dealers from prosecution for tax fraud.

It'd theoretically benefit other Americans doing small transactions in BTC, but really only drug dealers do such small transactions in BTC, everyone else uses it as a reserve for speculation.
Have you asked the 3 who resigned why?

All of the things that you suggest may help, but if it turns out that they all hate US HQ or at least don't trust it and have mentally committed to jumping ship, it may be better to let them go. I've not seen good results from keeping people once they've passed that point.

Of course it also affects users, they are the target audience for the applications and need have a system that fulfills the requirements.

UWP evolution is like Android updates, APIs are tied to specific versions and backwards compatibility is a mess.

Win 8 had three programming models for tablet, phone and desktop.

Win 8.1 merged tablet and desktop and called it UAP.

Windows 10 merged all of them together than called it UWP and the whole One Core message.

Then some key C++ developers started an internal movement at WinDev against C++/CX, managed to deprecate it. But here is the thing, after 4 years it still doesn't offer anything like C++/CX tooling, forcing a Notepad like experience for IDL files. Screw paying customers.

Meanwhile .NET Native is stuck into C# 7.3 with .NET Core 3.1, with no roadmap.

WinUI 3 is only planned for desktop with no roadmap for HoloLens and XBox.

So both developers and users need to come to an agreement what their computers should be running.

For me, pressing the red button and coming into an alternative version of "Windows 8", aka Windows 11, is the only way to sort out the mess Sinosfky started.

But this mess is comming from mobile where every developer thinks his program (app ) is the most important.

> Regarding the updates, I don't consider it more annoying than the macOS equivalent, and it's understandable that MS wants to push users to upgrade, to ensure they have the latest security updates.

The problem is that they do not separate features and security updates. And also they don't test them enough, and this, combined with forced updates, breaks things.

> I have not seen security threats alerts with Windows Defender enabled, and without downloading suspicious (i.e. unknown/unsigned) executables, which also seems reasonable. Actually, it's less painful to run unsigned executable on Windows, than on macOS.

Antivirus programs have long stopped being useful. And, as also google has shown, you can have signed malware executables. Also there are a lot of programs which, technically not malware, will behave like malware and defender and others do nothing about it.

This is the first time I have heard this. Usually the argument is that globalization creates a world middle class and drags each countries' middle class toward that world middle class. The world middle class is wealthier than the Chinese middle class so they get pulled up. The world middle class is less wealthy than the American middle class so they get pulled down.
