This is tangential to the subject discussed. I don't think it's about banning wireless technologies but rather more responsible use - if the negative influence actually exists, and if it's significant enough.
But note that the point of an ECS is being able to dynamically change roles without recreating new entities. If changing a house into a houseboat means creating a new entity, then everyone who had a reference to the house would need to be informed of the new reference.
Studies always miss one important piece of information, whether the increased productivity actually lasts after the initial novelty has worn off.
This is a good write-up, but for the sort of insights they’re getting they’re over staffed and overpaying. A combination of a cloud dw (big query, e.g), cloud etl (stitch, fivetran) and dbt for the T in ELT to build useful reporting tables, along with some sort of sql based BI (mode, in our case), could deliver the same insights for a fraction of the price. Throw in a sub to Heap or similar for ad-hoc product analytics as a cherry on top.

I concede, of course, that they’re rescuing a bad situation, not starting from scratch, but still.
Subleasing is kind of a red herring. There are particular reasons landlords might want to avoid letting that happen willy-nilly. But if the company finds a tenant that conforms to the landlord's requirements, the landlord can agree to a transfer of the lease, or just agree to break the lease and start a new one with the new tenant.
Of course he would. He was a regular hacker. If you've read Steve Jobs' biographies they all describe Woz wanting to keep things open and hackable and Jobs pushing through for the vertical integration they have now. Woz made the altruistic decision most of us would've "preferred" but Jobs made the decision to create the most valuable company in the world instead. Hard to say who was right, really.
Not to be mean but you can't expect caching to fix a fundamental design issue in your code.
A pure function (which a lambda typically is) answers a question. It's helpful to have words describing what question it answers. The next person to read the code will actually be able to read the words.

An if statement is a lower level mechanism for directing the code path within a function. If it needs a name, wrap it in a function. I often do.

Bazel is by Google. No way Facebook would shift funding to that.

Plus there are a variety of other open source build systems by smaller teams that could benefit from good funding. We don't need two giants dumping money into what is essentially the same build system with different branding, both of which aren't very good anyway.

Oh man, don't get me started. The 3 _calendar_ month notice that needs to be sent in writing (or faxed) is so ridiculous and I wonder if it is done to make it more difficult to get out of contracts. In my case, I had no idea that the written notice receive date matters (unlike the US, where you typically use the postmark date), due to mail delay because of a holiday my notice arrived 2 days late and that was enough to make them pay for another month despite there being an incredible amount of demand in Berlin for apartments.

I read like 3 or 4 articles on that experiment and they never disclose what exactly happened with productivity. Looks like there is nothing to brag about.

Too bad The Economist doesn't question that at all, the whole staying on the same pay deal depends on 11% productivity increase.
Even in Oregon places like Hood River, Veneta, Bend and such have seen home prices surge.

Areas of Washington State like Arlington have seen this as well, it's crazy to see a dated 4 bed 3 bath house go for $800k when it is not within even supercommuting distance of any high paying employees.

Identified needs – why to focus on office chair monitoring?

Data-driven managers love to monitor home officing, track work hours, save space and costs incurred by unoccupied desks when employees work away from an office or on flexible schedules
Companies are willing to avoid wasting money on lighting, heating, and cooling
Facility companies want to optimize cleaning services
There is a shift to working hubs, hot seats and a need for shared space utilization
I wonder if this varies by country. In the UK an office seems quite happy to put their heads down and just plow away with the work apart from taking tea breaks and the occasional natter

But when I've spoken to American colleagues, they seem quite happy to admit how little they've worked, and how they've spent a few hours of their work day just hanging out and chatting. It seems to be their normal day.
great comment - thanks :)

* VMS/VAX had virtualization & clustering in the 80ties

* DECNET

* systems which ranged from low-cost CMOS - for example microVAXes or the older bitsliced 11/730 - to high-performance ECL - for example the 9000

* VMS uses ASTs - asynchronuous system traps - for system calls ... imho. this approach is far supirior to any "software-interrupt" concept from UNIX etc. and pays out especially under high loads (read: database-server)

Exactly. Pythonic versions:

groupBy(fn): {fn(x): x for x in foo}
sortBy(fn): sorted(foo, key=fn)
countBy(fn): Counter(fn(x) for x in foo)
flatten: [x for y in foo for x in y]
filter(fn): [x for x in foo if fn(x)]

All the "for x in blah" can seem like a lot of boilerplate for a non-Pythonista, but actually it becomes subconscious once you're used to it and actually helps you feel the structure (a bit like indentation isn't necessary in C but it still helps you to see it).

For compound operations (e.g. merge two lists, filter and flatten), I find the code to be a lot more easier to "feel" than if you'd combined several functional style functions, where you have to read the function names instead of just seeing the structure.
Cortana – An easy to use command line parsing library
There is nothing preventing the Rust language definition to add a constraint to type checking saying "recursion depth <= 128" or something like that (e.g. depth <= N where N is an implementation-defined constant).

In fact, since rustc is "the spec" today, that's kind of how it is ""specified"".

Any implementation that does not conform to that would be... non-conforming... or using your own point-of-view, they would be implementing some programming language, but that language wouldn't be "Rust".

Then the question is not if Rust programs type-check in finite time, but rather, whether they type check in <= N steps. And e.g. the current implementation answers that question very quickly by just trying.
If your code has UB then it was never correct. The issue is that instead of telling you about your UB, compiler writers use it to generate very quick but broken programs

Public rumour is a lagging indicator. It's not predictive of any impeding reversal. It's better to look straight at the numbers to gauge when momentum's bled out completely. You know, actual analyst stuff. Trading "folk wisdom" is trash and frankly mostly wrong, especially considering far too little time has elapsed since the birth of the markets to form any truly tested received knowledge.
> FAANG and tech stocks that don’t require capital to grow

Facebook lobbied intensely for TikTok to be banned, which went nowhere, and its discounted threat price was $55b, which went nowhere, and also, Facebook could not afford to buy them at their real price. Attention is zero sum, and the big tech cos will eventually need capital, maybe even next year, to make the acquisitions they have been putting off.

Some companies in the US do that too, but it's called hustle culture (positive, self-empowered, fast lane to burnout) or crunch culture (either negative or expected of you in e.g. the video game industry).

You (the person reading this) are also doing it if you work in e.g. software development during the day, then volunteer in e.g. open source at night / weekends.

The weirdest thing was when I ran Dwarf Fortress Adventurer Mode in text-output in Emacs and fiddled with custom key-bindings. (I still think there's potential, esp. for macros :))

The best thing is very boring, but it's the best because I use it all day, every day, and it brings me joy: bringing all my text things to Emacs. Writing, project/task organizing, and email. Never thought I'd end up there.
Awesome idea. I love the idea of giving some love to old hardware. Obviously your experience will vary depending on what you're using it for, but I'm interested to see what experiences people will share. I predict people will find creative ways to perform tasks with the limitations of old machines, which is always exciting to read about.
Of course he would. He was the brains behind Apple, the guy who could design a computer out of his bedroom and seems to have kept that tinkerer mindset.
> It seems obvious that a lot of "HN jobs" probably could have the same output while working less.

It's actually a good tactic you can use to negotiate working less hours: "You will get my best hours". Working 36 or 40 hours a week doesn't make much of a difference in terms of productivity, but the former can get you an extra afternoon off once a week (or a day if you save it up) if you keep working 9-5.
Sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/c/electronupdate/videos
Of course it can become the norm:

a) Pressure.. sorry, "invite" employers to shorten work week to 4 days, and introduce 4 day working week for state-owned enterprises and government employees

b) Give tax breaks to those who private employers who cooperate

c) Give various handouts - aka Basic Income - to everyone who can't make a living working 20% less

d) Grow public debt and/or print money to fund that madness

Would that increase overall wealth and living standard? No, but that's not the purpose of this plan anyway.
> I didn't hire them, and

Who said you did?
I did 36 hour work weeks last year, day off every second week. I quit doing it this year because one, because I'm working from home I have no commute anyway, and two, because of the 'rona there were no pay rises, but my cost of living keeps growing.
I liked this article, but I have two questions:

1. Is it definitely a good idea to build a separate data team, rather than embedding people with analytics knowledge in feature teams?

Is it possible to do the latter, but still have end up with a well-curated source-of-truth for your data?

2. Is A/B testing and driving your business by metrics really a good idea?

My (uninformed) impression is that data-driven is responsible for rather a lot of rot:

- Extremely irritating websites.

- Businesses ignoring important things because they can't measure them. (Financialisation, hand-in-hand with the MBA types the author decries.)
In California my understanding is they are required to accept the first qualified tenant due to anti-discrimination laws. I thought NY was similar in that regard (and hence the income=3*rent or whatever the popular advertised rules are there).
I have been working 4 days a week for a couple of companies in the past, and I didn't like it.
In the beginning the extra day off was great, but after a while I got used to the long weekends. What I didn't get used to though was to switch back to working mode every Monday. This was much harder after 3 days off than after a normal weekend; 3 days was just enough to get in a 'holiday mode' so every Monday felt like the first day after a holiday. Not very pleasant.

In the end I even started to do some work on Sunday afternoons so the switch wouldn't be so abrupt. So instead of working a full working week I was now working 4 days paid and half a day unpaid, which doesn't make much sense of course.
A question for everybody who came to California to get rich and wont stop complaining:

Can I help you pack so you can get out of my home and shut up?

We get it. You hate us. We dont care, just shut up.

Other Sapiens. People whos descendants would have been group 3, if a descendant population had survived to modern times.

90% of the DNA for groups 2 & 3 comes from those 1000-10,000 individuals. A small smattering from neanderthals denisovans and ghosts. What's the rest?

There were anatomically modern humans outside of sub-saharan africa at some point. They just don't have descendants. But, my question applies either way. What matters is that they descend from groups outside of the funnel group, not where they lived.
> People have a lot of money right now and they want to buy financial assets with that money.

The article is very good at explaining the basic fact. Prices depend on demand. It does not matter how bad the product is, or how useless it is. If demand increases, price increases accordingly.

The stock market is a "market" and behaves as such. Something that should be obvious, but we miss some times in our arguments.

Show HN: Pnyx – Make great discussion occur, in graph
Hi everyone, I am recently developing a platform called Pnyx, what I try to do is, re-build the user interface of online discussion with graph.

In short, nowadays discussion seem to be fragmented and filled with polarized messages. I think it's not due to lack of gardener or mod, but the structure make people act like it. With the Feed structure(Reddit, social media), the main activity become browsing not discussing.

The first step I try to do is build a very small app that let user have persist discussion thread on it. Due to it's not a social media post or reddit post, it won't be flooded away by lots of content. So you may have persist and long conversation on it.

This is the first problem I want to solve, and graph is another story, to avoid the words/insight ratio being to low I would like to leave it for another post.

Very looking forward to have great discussion about this project, If you are interested, you can fill up the form (https://forms.gle/Uk1RfUeEmMcvkYSU9) or join discord(https://discord.gg/Qve3u9gahE)(btw, this tool is terrible for deep discussion) to stay in touch.
This paper shows the possibility of fighting SARS-CoV-2 with a synthetic defective interfering version of the virus, lacking of elements that cause the sickness; kinda like fighting fire with more fire but with the positive twist. The scientist are planning to test the idea on human lung cells in vitro first with variety of strains of course, before moving into human tests (in vivo)
My guess is that is is fair use but...

The model is said to spit out code verbatim 0.1% of the time, a low number, but if copilot is used a lot, it means you are going to find a lot of copied code in people's projects, and these project owners may be breaching copyright. I don't think "but, copilot..." will be an excuse.

Here is a (probably unrealistic) scenario illustrating it. I am playing a copyright troll here:

- Release plenty of generic code and put it on GitHub under a restrictive license

- Have the copilot bot scan it

- wait some time

- scan public codebases and do an exact match for my code

- sue project owner that contain my code

I see the use of copilot more of a minefield for me than as a liability for Microsoft.
> But for some Googlers, his relocation email, which was sent on June 29 and hasn't been previously reported, illustrated the inequities of the company's system for deciding remote work.

But the inequality already existed. Someone a few years into their career doesn’t have the title or compensation of some distinguished engineer, director, or VP.

I don’t see a reason why that model wouldn’t extend towards on site vs remote work.

If the company values you enough, they’ll let you work remotely. If they’re willing to part ways, then by definition they believe they can find someone else to fill that role. And nothing will change unless the employee market collectively is turns out to be against working on site.

As an aside — I always take these kinds of articles with a grain of salt. My own employer was in the news over “angry engineers”. It was three to five people who vocally spoke on the subject, but CNET and some other news sites reported it as if hundreds of engineers were about to revolt or quit their jobs. A lot of hyperbole and sensationalism.
I've been working four day weeks for five years and have the opposite experience. The weekends feel twice as long and the week half as long. I love it, it's a great balance between work and rest.

They're all terrified that if they do ask, they'll be declined, or held accountable for misuse, abuse, or leaks. It's much better to hide "telemetry" in the fog of tos or eula walls of text. Maintain your customer's blissful ignorance at all costs.

Privacy and liberty are inseparable at the highest levels of interacting with society. Compromising private personal information can only weaken individuals against abuse by society at large, whether by mega corporations, governments, Twitter hordes, or spam callers.

It's become overwhelmingly apparent that there's no benefit to the consumer by allowing telemetry in almost any form. The purported advantages are paltry straw men compared to the nightmare of identity and surveillance infrastructure.
The post was about people that are changing their jobs because their employer forces them to come to the office.

I don't think it's a US vs Others thing, it's just international longhaul vs short travel. Food on AA or DL international is more or less identical to BA or LH.

Food on european short hauls is just as bad as anything I've seen in the US. Even in business class

For economy class food, Turkish and Emirates are above the rest IMHO. But then again, maybe that's just my preference for mediterranean food

Regarding what's "bad", I'd say that it has to be very salty because your sense of smell/taste doesn't work properly in the dry low-pressure cabin environment. And then it's the general issue with any ready-to-eat meal - you can pimp it up with as many slices of foie gras or truffle shavings, it's never going to be as good as even basic fresh food
So do 5 short days instead of 4 long ones, problem solved
Didn't know clang can do it for unsigned, so it seems there really isn't anything here you can only do with UB.

EDIT: I had a quick look to see why the obvious equation ( n (n+1))/2 ) didn't just work. The only problem for large n is you need to do the 'n (n+1)' in a bigger type (it doesn't technically matter if the n*(n+1) overflows, you just need a bigger type), so when you divide by 2 you get the right value in the top-most byte of 'unsigned int'.
