I don't think it is helpful to use language like "loitering".

The police are present at high school football games, beaches during the summer, festivals, parades, large town meetings, etc. That isn't "loitering", that is just standard policing.

FWIW, the US has very decentralized policing, which is different than many other countries where the police force operates at the national level. Not sure if that is affecting the way people are thinking about this though.

If you told me the FBI was present at a voting location I would wonder what is going on. Local police officer, nope.
That already exists, it's called an "IPv4-mapped address". The IPv4 address 198.51.100.15 can be represented in IPv6 as ::ffff:c633:640f (normally shown as ::ffff:198.51.100.15). See in particular at https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html the IPV6_V6ONLY option which can be used to disable that mapping.

It wasn't that long ago; don't act as if we can't remember it. Comey's comments were not about the DNC emails. They were about emails that FBI discovered on a laptop owned by Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin. Apparently FBI had the laptop as part of an investigation into Weiner for sending unsolicited messages. Do you mean to imply that "the Russians" exfilled emails from DNC and sent them to FBI? That seems... unlikely. Maybe future secretaries of state won't try to hide 30,490 official emails from the oversight of the public...
There's a movement away from evaluating people or teams qualitatively, which is difficult and prone to dumb biases, and towards quantitative measures, which are easy and prone to dumber biases.

Presumably here (I don't know if it's been proven) people in that org are being measured by how many commits they make, ignoring the depth or quality of the commits. Because it's someone's idea of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI.) So people are "grabbing" easy commits.

That wasn't chastising you. I don't know you so there was no way I could have known how long you've been on the internet nor your depth in experience in identity within it. I was attempting to point out some of the bigger factors feeding into your complaint, regarding the potential of people harassing you, with the intent of no more than to bring attention to something you may have overlooked, as humans tend to do sometimes.

You're being combative for no reason so I'll leave it here but, in the future, don't always assume malice.
I'm sure you do. Along with your wish to:

Even without external storage - my phone has just 64GB internal - I don't find myself using even half of it. Yet I often hear people saying they run out of storage. I don't know what I'm doing differently; my app list isn't hyper-minimalist or anything
Your response makes me think you truly understood what I meant. And I agree with the latter part of the post. Hopefully people in the position of making the change experience the burnout and keep it in mind for when they are in a managerial position
That is interesting too. Zig seems cool. I get good vibes from it. It almost makes me wish I was a systems programmer, rather than a business software programmer.
Foxnews are experts at this language. Their front page is full of “slams”, “rips”, “fires back”, “scold” or “hits”. If this is your main news source it will make you think that the world is just one big conflict.
My wife hit this the other day. She entered her info on a website, gave up, and then got a polite email from them, something like: "Hey, we noticed you started filling in our form but didn't complete it, are you sure you don't want to sign up with us". She was furious, and we wrote a reply saying how unethical we thought this was. It was a small business (swim school I think).

Block javascript using something like NoScript (which will still let you allow javascript on specific sites you explicitly approve, but will block JS from running by default).
Yeah, it's like surviving falling from an airplane. You technically survive, but life will be extremely different.
I think the increasing difficulty of being discovered on ever-growing platforms like the App Store is/will push more games to other places (though I don't know how instant-game platforms will build userbases like native app stores).

Also, I don't think people moved away from instant games because the instantness wasn't enough. I think it's more about what devices kids (and people in general) are using for everything else; people who are playing mobile games now probably would have been playing flash games a few years ago. I'm kindof spitballing here, but I wonder if all the chromebooks that are used in schools now are or will be pushing kids back to online games platforms like the old flash sites
It's not about not getting fired. It's about having the person that can make the cold dispassionate, but ultimately best choice. If we are still getting decisions based mostly on emotion the usefulness is vastly diminished.
I'm one of those doing multiple unrelated subjects at once. For me, it's because I have the time. I'm a teacher, and we're out for summer, so I've got time to focus on several different things. I can do an hour or so of math a day, alternating the various books I'm going through, and give myself an hour of Irish immersion a day (mostly reading) as I'm already at a comfortable B2+ (officially tested) so it's just a matter of keeping it going. Then I can read some in whatever textbook I'm doing of an evening. My other subjects are much more superficial, happening mostly from reading books while I exercise (walking and biking on a stationary bike are perfect for this).

But, really, it's mostly because I have more time and few other hobbies currently (not starting anything new before I move countries in a few months).

Yikes you guys, don't try to get attention for your project this way. We ban accounts and sites that do that. Also, experienced HN users see through the booster upvotes and comments quickly and consider it spamming. Not a good outcome for you!

Ask HN: How do you improve and encourage communication efficiency while remote?
What's the best way to improve employee communication efficiency? As much as I love slack, I find it much more productive to be able to walk over to someone's desk and spend a couple of minutes discussing an issue or solution instead of having to type up a message, clarify the message, and any questions that pop up from confusion etc. etc.

Slack does have a call feature but I find it somewhat lacking because people might not be at their desk, have their speakers turned off, have notifications turned off, not have Slack open, not have their mic or video set up correctly etc. etc.

Are there any tools, policies, or guidelines that your company has implemented to help communication efficiency?

Chalk it up to the techno-rationalist community saying doctors can't handle bayesian statistics, on the basis of results of brain teaser surveys, and then extending that to anything related to testing or medicine.
I think people who "hold the truncheon" should be intelligent enough to appreciate humor, yes.

FWIW framing things as if officers' job is to perform violence on behalf of the state is a big part of the problem. The state's monopoly on violence should be in the hands of the courts, and not individual officers doling out punishment. Police officers should be seen as citizens getting paid to do a good job at something that any other citizen could do if so inclined.

Would you rather spend 5 minutes to read a cover letter and code, or just read the diff see word_a has been changed to word_b in comments? Trivial typo or cosmetic changes should stay small, and can be approved in a few seconds.
It's so short-sighted too.

I signed up for America's Test Kitchen one time, because they had a nice program for learning the basics. Probably used it for a couple months, and then I was done with that content and wanted to cancel. Of course, even though you can sign up online, you have to cancel on the phone. On hold for 20-30 minutes during work hours, then talk to the rep, then listen to their retention offer, then it's successfully cancelled.

I actually loved the content, and would probably have resubscribed for a month here and there. (Cook's Illustrated is part of the same group and their content is also great.) But I will never do it again because of this experience.

How many people decided to get the new Playstation next time because of a frustrating experience cancelling their xbox subscription? You won't see those numbers in a spreadsheet.
Hey's biggest fail is missing notifications for first time senders. It seems to assume people are constantly using email. But for me days can sometimes go by until I am active rather than reactive on a particular account. With Hey, I only then realized that there were two emails stuck waiting for me screening them.

I'm in Canada and looks like most of my colleauges don't take 6 weeks away. They try to send their children to summer camps for the summer break.

But it would really be nice if you can have 6 weeks off in summer and maybe 3 weeks off during winter. A lot of things can happen and you can learn new things.
I’m designing an open source farming robot (Acorn by Twisted Fields) and I’m looking at doing Charles Dowding’s no-dig farming method. Instead of tillage they drop more compost on top of the beds each season. In that case it would be super helpful for our robot to be able to scoop from a pile of compost and distribute it over the beds. You think there’s a lot of value in that? I’m still mulling it over.

Here’s a nice overview of a no-dig farm:

KPIs are actually very good when used properly, but they are (like many things) easily misused. For example if you provide a service then your obvious choice for the team's primary KPI would be service uptime.

Use SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bounded) and set a realistic service uptime (e.g. how many nines you want in a given month/quarter/whatever) and KPIs directly enable good decisionmaking at all levels of the org.

Manager up in your grill about a choice you made? Point at the KPIs and say "this will help make it easier to meet our objectives for KPI 1.1" or whatever.
Why is this being downvoted? It was literally just answering the asked question!
The standard Linux laptops people are given are fully company-managed. But many people, including myself, reload them with a distribution we manage ourselves.

I do have MDM on my personal iPhone but that seemed like a reasonable tradeoff in order to easily access work email and files on my phone.
Not to play devil's advocate here, but as an employee if you refuse to do something your manager tells you to do that is both within your job description and not illegal then you are in the wrong in terms of your duties as an employee.

The feature you describe is annoying (I think it's fair to say that everyone hates these pop-ups) but rather innocuous and certainly not unlawful so there isn't any reasonable ground to refuse to do it if you're employed as a web dev.

That's the nature of employed work.
When I first joined LinkedIn, it suggested all kinds of obscure connections to me, like the real estate agent I'd used two years previously, and the wife of my landlord... I had definitely not given LinkedIn my contacts, and in any event, I didn't even have my landlords wife in them. I'm assuming my info must have been inferred from info those contacts or their network had about me.

So in any case, LinkedIn is super creepy with way (and I thought I'd read they lost a lawsuit about contact mining) but the information leak may not be anything you did, but rather information that was inferred from the doctor somehow, your partner, or some higher order connection.

Great example of poor algorithmic governance.
There are many reasonable theories out there, competing for the explanation of various phenomena.

And then there are those who pick and choose the theories they want to relentlessly push and promote, because they support the deepest, most burning desires coming out of their guts.
Not sure the age on that slide deck but Sqlite has definitely supported recursive table expressions for years now.
In some ways it is more permissive with syntax allowed in the recursive portion than Postgres.
There is interest in building housing by home builders, but it's at the expensive end of the market, not the much more affordable housing that we need.

Property value is the biggest component of home prices in many desirable areas. Increasing current low-density home building won't change that, but increasing density would help with affordability. Problem is that many in the US still have low density housing as their housing goal.
Ruby's also a bad comparison because not many folks are running ruby on windows.

Huge chunks of industry and academia run python on windows (usually through (ana/mini)conda). That's a whole 'nother world of encoding hurt.

> lack of trust in institutions, due to an escalating culture war and tribalism

Precisely. Whenever someone talks about "disinformation" as being the cause of this, it would be insulting, if it weren't so detached from reality and Orwellian.

"Gosh, these dumb people are reverting to tribal behavior because they're getting lied to! The real problem is they can't think for themselves -- we just need to figure out how to tweak the algorithm so the disinformation doesn't spread, and they get fed the right truths. Then we'll have harmony again!"

The voting machine companies have correctly figured out that selling hardware is a sucker's game; it's a commodity. You want to sell the service contracts, and especially if the pricing is so opaque you can't comparison shop.

A little off topic, but what's so good about C# nowadays? All developers that touch it start preaching it around as the best programming environment that they've ever used, but I haven't seen that many projects written in C# that really impress me (like Java or Go excel at). Also, and maybe this is unfair, but Microsoft's software is known for being buggier than one would expect and I imagine that C# is used a lot there.

Please, help me correct my prejudices :)
The last thing we should do is to be laid back about this or next viruses. If we don’t use the momentum to reduce vaccine rollout times among other things - we failed.
Most datasets have relationships forming a graph, but few need to be analyzed as a graph. Graph databases specialize for the latter usecase, with large datasets.

But you could always traverse graphs with recursive SQL — it’s just less pleasant, and perhaps less performant — but often that’s all you need (and often people confuse having a graph relationship with needing a graph-specialized database)

The OPM breach targeted data from SF86 forms (Standard Form 86) not “FS86” forms as the article states. Now, this isn’t really useful on its own, but it does make you wonder if any high level google search was ever carried out to fact check anything else in the article. An obvious typo like this would be discovered easily — but other things? Maybe not.
LinkedIn has been a abomination since the day it started. Creepy suggested connections, cringeworthy contrived posts and an unashamed desperate pursuit to cash in on recruitment agency money under the thin pretence of a service that on some way pretends to be useful. If they pulled the plug on it tomorrow the world would be a better place.
I have been waiting to play No Man's Sky for so long and after all the good stuff I've been reading about how much better it had gotten I just assumed it would be incredible and that I would love it. To my surprise, when I downloaded it on Game Pass - I was extremely disappointed it just felt so empty. I uninstalled it after like 2 hours.

Nah, not me ... I didn't self-select for that. I came from an acquisition, I never applied to Google... I just... arrived here. Hotel California style.
I'd concur. Stuxnet truly created infrastructure attacks as a design goal of malware. The US has only itself to blame for placing direct damage to physical assets in play for cyber warfare.

Yes, many RDBMS's have gotten support for recursive CTE's as of recently. It's definitely not a niche feature anymore.
People are idiots that don't understand statistics. Telling them they tested positive is all they hear, and it leads to them making subpar decisions that often involve invasive surgery. Yes, it's paternalistic, but the fact is most people aren't informed enough to make medical decisions for themselves.
What’s even more unfortunate is when scientific leaders reject scientific process for political motivations.
I'm heartened to come here and see people refusing to do things for ethical reasons. You need better protections in your work though. I work in the medical field, and refusing to do something is a common occurrence and certainly not a sackable offence - but I guess the impact of what we do is immediately visible on someone present. A lot of decisions people make in other lines of work will impact a nameless person somewhere out of sight, so I guess it's easier to be unethical.

I am generally surprised by the inability of journalists to grok research papers, but I think the age thing goes the other direction than what you suggest.

General scientific/numeric literacy among people who don't work in science seems higher in the younger generation than the older to me.
So not to single you out, but I've been seeing a lot of pitches from recruiters recently, and after a few interviews where afterwards the recruiter circles back and clarifies "so by remote-friendly we mean they will let you work from home maybe once or twice a week, instead of never, is that okay?", or "it's remote...but only until labor day" (what all companies have deemed 'post-covid' apparently). So I'm quickly learning to avoid jobs that advertise themselves as 'remote-friendly'.

If you're 100% remote or 'remote except a couple of optional team building events' or 'remote except come into the office once every month or two', I would be very specific and say so, and not just say 'remote-friendly' or 'remote-flexible' (even just saying 'remote' is starting to be suspicious), because those terms seem to have morphed into a signal that the opposite is true.

Also, if your company was remote before the pandemic, you should also say that, because that gives me reason to believe it will stay that way, instead of being another bait-and-switch "we're 100% remote!...for a few more months".
That's why I bought the Fujitsu Quaderno A4. I wanted the 13.3" screen, and it was basically either that or Onyx Boox. It also helps that I wanted a minimalist product, simply for note taking and reading while in a meeting/in class, but a big reason was because of how Boox acts. Though if there's a monitor now, it'd be tough to pass that up.
