>> work up to four weeks per year fully remote

Wow, that's really something.

Personally, having spent a pandemic working fully remote I wouldn't even consider working for a company that didn't offer that as an unquestionable human right, didn't frown upon it, didn't consider it to be "a way to refresh my sense of duty" and didn't think of it as a privilege.

I'm never going back to the open landscape of hell.

By the way, with or without nuclear power, the FitFor55 proposal sounds completely unreasonable to me.
1. It projects a 35% increase of energy efficiency in 10 years. You might achieve it in virtual lifes, but not in the real world (ask a cow to burp less!?)
2. It concerns domestic net emissions. Meaning that the policy is incentiving to de-localisation of industry in China (which already explains most of the progress achieved so far).
You’re making an assumption that the process actually benefits you in a way you care about. If the actual effect is to drive away developers of useful, thoughtful apps while letting a large fraction if trash through, you’re not actually getting the benefit.
> I think unless they try and regulate that, there will be an enormous black market in gas powered leaf blowers that’s going to make some criminal enterprise very wealthy. Would be much better to ban the blowers themselves than the sale of the blowers.

Banning the use of existing tools must surely be untenable due to the sheer quantity of them in use throughout the state, often by independent landscaping service companies that probably don't have the capital to refit their workforce at once.
Sorry to have come across as a hater.

To be honest I can't remember the exact reason I asked why there's anything novel about this - might have been some wording I found either in the title or in the excerpt, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I might have misread it.
I am noticing a lot of the big tech companies are becoming more flexible about remote work, but they are still far away from a true remote friendly option for me at least.

It seems the expectation is that they want people to be available to come to the office on demand every once in a while, so you need to be living within at least a 1-2 hour drive from the office. While that is certainly an improvement, it isn't true remote.

If there are any big tech companies who only expect travel to the office a few times a year I would love to hear about them!
I saw a great paper on their dialect a while ago. Will try and find it and edit this with a link.

I can see this but the fact that the thought is so tempting makes it suspect.
Kellogg Sends Salaried Workers to Plant Floors
Wouldn't it make more sense to use a much more mature safety-centric language with a proper language spec like Ada?
First, Starlink has limited bandwidth per square mile. Therefore it cannot conceivably provide telecommunications for densely populated areas.

Second, all you have to do is make these aircraft compatible with cell phones. So your target population already has "end user terminals" literally in hand.

Third, this is not a one-time need. Local disasters happen fairly regularly, and sometimes can be predicted in advance. (For example hurricanes.) There is real value to an instant telecommunications network that can be deployed on short notice.

Now I don't claim that this is actually economically viable. But it is not exactly crazy, either.
Sounds cheap but they made a couple of billion on the ps4 alone. Sounds like a reasonable investment.
Loop_tool: A toolkit for loop-based computation
Can you clarify what number you mean by “a lot” and/or cite some research to corroborate this claim?

You quote one article [0], which has been received by the Clojure community with almost unanimous disagreement, as the author himself acknowledges (in less than friendly words).

That article in turn contains little factual information and lots of expressive verbiage. In my experience, this opinion is very much in the minority, albeit a vocal one.

Of course they did. What did y'all expect? That schools wouldn't intrude upon kids at home? LOL
QNX was never open source, so I'm not sure how that would have been legally feasible.

It's a shame that a high-quality microkernel OS like QNX has never been made, though, except as proprietary commercial products. QNX has by most accounts been quite successful (the , but it's still a niche product.
This is great. Now, how do we inference these models economically? It appears there's some kind of competition to train larger and larger models, but the inferencing side of the story seems to be neglected?
The study examines people age 25-54 (described as "prime working years").

The number of unmarried men in this age range may well be higher than the number of unmarried women if a sufficient fraction of women age 25-54 are married to men under 25 or (which is more likely) over 54.
Please note I said "Clojure/ClojureScript projects, or any other lisp-like languages". I'm in no way limiting myself to just Clojure, any lisp-like language will do, say Common Lisp if performance is needed, ulisp if it has to run on a microcontroller, Babashka/Fennel/Janet if fast startup time is required and so on.

As long as it's s-expressions and interactive development oriented, I'm probably fine with it.

But for the last 4-5 years, I have literally not found a single use case where I'm forced to use C++ or Rust since multiple other (lisp-like) languages has the same target market and the ergonomics are just so much better.
I would highly recommend reading Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle. It is one of the finest examples of travel literature and natural history in one text. It is also worth noting that the Galapagos play a relatively minor role in the book and are in many ways one of the more minor chapters. At the closing summary, while reflecting upon the voyage it does not even receive mention among the most notable places on the journey.
They're hoping to get six months flight eventually out of a propeller craft. I can't help but wonder what we could eventually get out of a solid state craft.[1] They mention batteries in this article when referencing that six months target, but I have to assume servicing the propellers is important as well.

The article says, "Japanese chipmakers had dropped out of the race for large-scale chip development by the 2010s and instead contracted out the production of cutting-edge semiconductors to companies like TSMC." and the new plant "would be TSMC's first chip production operation in Japan".
As someone with zero remote days, I strongly disagree.
But that's the name of the prize: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Call it by its name.

The prize in Physics is the "Nobel Prize if Physics", and so are the other ones. The difference is intentional.

A self-respecting discipline starts its own prize instead of buying legitimacy.

Computer Science has the Turing Award, not the ACM Prize in Computer Science in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Glide based efficiency crafts absolutely need thick atmosphere. They don't have supersonic jets.
Agreed, but also nature of the beast. It's really easy to explain hand tracking software in a single media element. It's a lot harder to explain some crypto AEAD encapsulation format the same way.

I assume YoHa means Your Hands... I don't think I could have resisted OhHi for hand tracking.
Yeah, in the U.S. it really depends where you live. I'm in Rhode Island, so I can get the Providence Journal (meh) or the Boston Globe (very good). Before that I lived in NYC and got the Times. But the hometown newspaper I grew up reading (The St. Louis Post-Dispatch) is a shell of its former self, which really bums me out.
For some reason this issue with model having insane amounts of weights but training data being small is not something that is an issue for modern NNs.
Nice to see software language purists who are not assembly-line stamped Haskellteers fresh out of college. But the fact that they appear unable to see the beauty implied by `/usr/bin/env bb` or `shadow-cljs publish`, suggests to me that they don't recognize the implications of clojure and deep, modern software ecosystem interoperability.
No, it is not fine. There are better utilisation for that power eg. Replacing coal power plants
Electric trucks like the F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T with their built in electrical outlets and massive batteries would solve the problem almost entirely. With that you’d only need a couple of backup batteries in a charger plugged into the truck.

Naturally companies won’t roll their truck/van fleets over right away but this pressure has potential to advance the timeline of that particular transition significantly.
Nuclear power has net CO2 emissions at least as good as, and by some estimates better than, renewables like wind and solar: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5...
Not much to critique, though it would have been nice to see the author outline the hegemonic nature of the idea that competition between individuals is the natural state of the world.
Okay, but what do these pedagogical tips have to do with race?
Similar to the "electric cars will just use coal powered electricity" argument, what you describe sounds like an improvement from the status quo even in a worst case scenario, and something that simple economics will take care of anyway.
So how do the power companies run electricity to those areas? They don't use DC, do they? Or do you mean individual houses are typically wired with just one of the phases?
It can't be Iran, since there's no embassy (or "building associated with Iran") in Washington DC for the FBI to signal from. It's not going to be Russia or China, because the FBI's story implies cooperation.
Thank you for saying that. I love writing down my stories. It is therapeutic, almost like writing them releases me from the bad memory. It is basically a VERY lightly edited stream of consciousness.
To fly through the night, you need energy. I'm wondering if it's more efficient to store it in the batteries, or as stored kinetic energy by flying to a high altitude and descending through the night.

This is just wrong.

As of today, the governments in Beijing and Taipei agree that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of it. That's the "One China" principle.

Taiwan does not assert that there is a sovereign country whose territory consists of the island of Taiwan. Taiwan's government still claims that the Republic of China still exists and that it is the legitimate state in all of China including Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. This position is accepted by very few countries.

The fact that they are able to act in many respects as though they are the government of a sovereign country whose territory consists of the island of Taiwan is what makes them a de facto country.

Ask HN: How do you get an interview for a tech job without a degree?
Especially at large tech companies.
No it is not a way to limit what can be installed? Did you read my comment? Even when I am the admin i alwayd end up having to bypass repos. I get why it is that way for Linux but don't push this on windows.

The problem with how you think is that you expect users to be like you, follow SOPs and all that. This is a help desk nightmare.

AWL already exists in windows (lacks or sucks on Linux) and it can still be bypassed.

The only thing repos create is a walled garden like the apple app store where MS can gate keep who can write code.

Can I write some crappy program and publish it to my friends on a linux distro repo or any appstore? Then how can so many of you on HN that advocate software independence blindly support walled gardens just because it is "Linuxy"?
It's not just the review process that frustrates me, it seems to be every tool and service.

Even something as basic as logging in: Apple does not support proper TOTP, they only support SMS 2FA (or their trusted device second factor - I don't want to be glued to my Mac), which has been great when I'm out of signal or a few months ago when their SMS system went down.

Every time I have a problem like this, I just think back to the Magic Mouse with the charging port on the bottom.
A colleague told me that NTT, with a staff of 320,000, is now 100% permanently remote.
Hence why some companies now explicitly disallow CO residents from applying for jobs. Those employers would rather lose out on CO talent instead of weakening their negotiating position by posting an explicit salary range.

A craft like this is more likely to serve predator/reaper/sentinel missions. Particularly ones in locations you don't want the aesthetics of full state surveilance but still want the same operational capacity.

You still find people here on HN that want to be tracked, they are convinced that tracking is necessary. So a browser could implement something to shut this people up, Instead of a simple flag On or off, you can start with 3 states, On, Off, Unset and you can have it set per webpage.
In the linked video set, the game boy original one is fake, but the game boy color one seems legit (probably helped a lot by the hdma that allows copying tile data into vram during hblank).

"“We repeatedly provide a platform for content that is harmful to the trans community,” wrote a current employee in Netflix’s open Q&A document. “These decisions have a material impact on our business, including harm to our current employees and talent declining to work with us."

If you wanted to field an argument that's actually not a bad one. i guess you can make the point that the reputational damage done to the company and the premium paid for talent if the platform is perceived as spreading hate far outweighs the revenue from one or a handful of shows.

'Public Relations' is the result of the word 'propaganda' being given the propaganda treatment. To corporate PR, lying comes as naturally as breathing. Every time an executive gets publicly disgraced they "decide to spend more time with family." Every time an employee is injured, the company "takes safety very seriously." Every time your personal information is sold to data brokers, it's "shared with our trusted partners."

These lies are so prevalent they've practically become memes. PR is propaganda. To a propagandist, lying is just another tool for manipulating people. Lying is in their professional DNA. Never give these assholes the benefit of the doubt; assume they are lying until proven otherwise.

This happens in all kinds of modern companies. A (paid!) vendor I’m working with uses Zendesk exclusively for support. Want to pay them for an enterprise plan with phone support? Great, but you initiate phone support using Zendesk.

It turns out they thoroughly flubbed their integration. It works on Chrome and fails on (at least) Firefox and Safari. By “fails” I mean “complete inability to interact with the ticketing system.” This includes their iOS app. Click support, click a ticket, get home page, not logged in, embedded under the word “support”.

Of course, most customers won’t tell them it’s busted because the only way to tell them is via Zendesk. Oops. So they can live in their little bubble and not realize how broken their site is.
I really don't know what you mean. Forth has two stacks that can grow infinitely.

Trying to do everything with tail calls in Forth puts you in a position much like any other language: Okay, you can have a single overarching state machine with top-level routines, but you can't factor anything into subroutines because there's no way to 'return'.
Even the introduction to this article is deeply corrupt. It describes the authors partner, an architect, an their constant attention to the flaws of others work and designs of structures. I’m sure many of us can relate to this feeling, within our own fields of expertise. However, the author seems to insinuate that if only we could overrule each individuals ownership and individual freedom to design and build their own things (buildings, wine racks, social structures), that society could be better.
There's different tax, visa and HR regulatory implications they probably don't want to deal with. For example if Amazon has an American worker who decides to work remotely in France (where Amazon is also established) can Amazon fire the American "at will" or are they subjected to French regulations that make terminating workers extremely difficult?

Find that hard to believe. It's not like there were meaningful economic restrictions from eating enough calories to get fat prior to 1910.

More likely, people were just more active and food was less addictive.

If it does mean chunk, I think it means randomly removing clusters on the network graph. I'm guessing the idea is that it would promote healthier networks because you'd periodically be removing portions and only the parts you thought were really worthwhile would get reconnected?

Because gun purchases are a high chargeback risk; this is explicitly the reason that PayPal gives. I had a colleague of mine have a debit card stolen from them and then used to try and purchase a handgun. Given the criminal utility of a firearm purchased under a fake name with a stolen card, I doubt this is a rare problem.

(PayPal also cannot be used for cigarettes or porn, so they have a policy of avoiding what they see as high risk items, including items regularly handled by other card professors)

On the flip side Amazon will sell all kinds of firearm related accessories, just not the firearm itself or ammunition, presumably because they're not actually a FFL and can't handle the legal requirements.

Closures use pipes instead of any of the existing syntaxes we're used to.

Why couldn't they just use the familiar concept of classes instead of whatever is going on with their strange NIH traits? NIH describes the whole language, every little thing has to be different somehow.

C with Rust's safety guarantees, OOP style classes, and a few more bells and whistles could have taken over the world a lot faster, but instead we have something with a high friction to learning that will be adopted much more slowly by either programmers with a fresh start to whom every language is equally weird, or the relative minority of experienced programmers with the will and free time to push past the friction.
