All I can say that hasn't already been said in the dozens of HN discussions already is this: someone better make up their damn minds soon, because living with the uncertainty of knowing what my job situation will be like and where I need to live is stressing me out.

Send me back to the office, let me WFH, keep me within an hours drive... whatever... just tell me so I can plan the next couple years of my life accordingly. For me, the uncertainty of the current era is the worst part. Life never offers guarantees, but it is good to at least know where things should be headed.
This sounds sounds like conflating plant-based foods with hydrogenated oils from the early "low fat" days.

Do you have some specific concerns? Specific processes? Specific ingredients? (like heme iron https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/heme-iron/ )
It's very likely at this point that the next 'mature' process from TSMC will still be interesting from a competitive landscape sense. If the timeline works out so that the current node gets built in a few years in Japan or India, that won't be 'cutting edge' but it'll still be pretty sharp, if some other fabs don't get their shit together and soon.
It's not possible to burn a bridge with a recruiter, these are 'salespeople' who get many no's per day and have pressure to perform.

A recruiter call doesn't mean a company has interest in a candidate. It just means the Amazon job description and your resume both included the word JAVA.
this. hn is dead. all these websites are.
I like meat. It sucks, because I recognize the ethical implications of eating meat. I tried being vegan briefly and I dearly missed eggs.

Saying "existing vegetarian food is good enough, let's not see what else we can do, everyone should just get over it" seems a bit silly to me.
could you cite what you've learned? everything oppositelock asserted sounds like common knowledge to me
My pet theory is that it's actually because vegan and vegetarian are too charged of a term at this point.

"Plant based" is fairly neutral and doesn't outright prescribe a hard line.
There are lines in the sand, and a default key logger sending data to undisclosed third parties should be a pretty easy one everyone can agree on.
But inflation also causes the underlying assets to increase, usually at rates far beyond average inflation.

Yeah, the real cost of a mortgage will go down slightly over time. But the biggest benefits to getting a mortgage is to establish a cost basis which is no longer fixed to the cost of housing in a region (which can go up faster than inflation/wages).

Unsecured debt often has interest rates well beyond inflation, unless subsidized. So there's no win for consumers there.
I use FF for my personal browsing - sometimes using Safari as well.

In work, I use Chrome or Edge.
So the ROC and PRC are de jure countries, and de facto countries, and well countries.

I still don't understand the point of the qualifier. I don't hear people refer to China as a de facto country so why use the qualifier for Taiwan?
Yes that is very large however that is just an advisory not a TFR. [1] Only those with special permission and Harrison Ford may enter into a TFR.

I tried the Tuna recently and think it is close to indistinguishable when you don't put too much attention on finding out if it is real or not. I would say it does it's job for most dishes, specially for things like ready-made sandwiches in a supermarket.
One thing that needs to be said, if I understand this correctly: the dancing grannies are explicitly a product of the CCP, correct?
> Sure we need some children to continue, but what if the optimal number of children is 0.1 per woman?

Then the next generation has 1/20th the population of the current generation. The one after that, 1/400th. The one after that, 1/8000th.

Imagine the US with a population of 40,000 people (after three generations of this). Imagine Mexico with its current population (if they don't do this for three generations). Do you think the US society survives in that situation? I don't.
I visited Chengdu (among others) in 2017/2018 and saw the square dancing many times. Always found it charming, especially seeing that the elderly have some active ways to spend their time. It must be good for their health.
But yes they really tend to blast their music very loud.

Already back then, the People's Park had decibel meters in every spot the oldies congregated, warning them if they went over the limit.

Once I also watched quite an old gentleman performing (singing live to a backing track) folk songs from Inner Mongolia. He was really good at this and his voice was very moving.

Really wish I could see it in person again.
Not evidence that they are selling or even collecting this data, but discord _must_ look at the process and/or window table periodically to know when you are playing a video game so it can give you the one click stream button.

Kind of interesting why this is not showing up on the front page but lower voted posts are...wonder why....
I replied back to one of these and explained that due to their anti-union actions, and they way they treat employees, I would never be interested in working there, no matter the salary. I thankfully have never received any more of their spam.
Personally I don't know of anyone who eats the fake beef in my social circle. They are pretty horrific when you look at the ingredients: Tertiary butylhydroquinone, Erythosine, Propylene glycol, Ferric orthophosphate. Ugh.

But lentils, carrots, potatos, brocolli, peas, beans, onions, mushrooms, nuts -- that's fantastic.
> that it's just business

The really sad thing is that I've found myself teaching this to people who have been in industry for 30+ years. People are really good at coming up with justifications for why they shouldn't just quit.
I had been hoping the "fun" of Brexit would have made my dollar stretch further, but each time I see it drop toward dollar parity, my hopes are dashed. Sorry if it is a bit morbid of me to wish the pound would lose value so that I as an American can go there for cheap.
Agreed it's about building the habits to make a sustainable lifestyle! We spend the first week having folks record their diet and exercise so we can iterate from there. In the following weeks we define nutritional targets, movement goals, and keep tabs on energy/stress/sleep. Different folks like different diets and exercise and we help them discover what works for them and debug issues as they come up. We layer on habits week over week and provide educational content around weekly themes. By the end of the program folks should be well equipped to maintain their new lifestyle on their own!
> Honestly, the biggest downside to Rust in the kernel is that Rust is backed by the LLVM, which doesn't have as many supported targets as GCC does. (And, AFAIK, GCC is generally the preferred compiler for the kernel).

Fortunately, there are now two competing approach to make GCC a viable compiler to Rust[1], and it's moving really fast. I think the LLVM-only situation won't get in the way more than a few more years.

> my argument is, if you can not understand what the chain rule is, you will not understand more complicated mathematics in ML.

Are you sure about this?
My company said they'd let people work remotely, but based on my observations from friends on other teams and my own, this is more of a last resort. If you're going to quit and are not a lead engineer, then they'll offer you remote. If they can't fill a position in a timely manner, then they'll start looking remote.

My takeaway is that maybe the C-Suite has been convinced, but now you need to convince line-managers and the like.
lets mandate a dubiously efficacious product for a problem we created...
Or Austin, Denver, DC, etc. There are a lot of Amazon offices and from what I’ve heard this has always been expected of their fully-remote employees.
Interactive Rust Tutorial: Why your first FizzBuzz implementation may not work
First off, if you're not vaccinated, it's really a lot less safe for you for me to be around you. I don't really want to be responsible for getting you or your family sick.

But beyond that, if I can't trust you to take very basic precaution of vaccinating, can I trust you to take the much more obnoxious precaution of masking up, or the still more inconvenient precaution of social distancing generally? Or quarantining after travel? True, I was using a shorthand heuristic that is almost certainly flawed in the specific. Some people cannot get vaccines.

I haven't done any research on it, so I may be wrong, but I also assume that if you have antibodies to fight off an infectious disease, the disease is statistically more likely to exist in lesser concentrations than in a person who does not have those antibodies, if it exists at all.
It would be if flight plans using tango routes through those temporary areas would be rejected.

Yeah if there isn't a ton of office space downtowns seem a lot more lively, since businesses stay open outside of 9-5 and people might actually live closer by. Even lower manhattan is considered a dead area after hours due to all the offices and not a lot of other businesses and housing to draw demand outside of 9-5 m-f.
Uuhm, you're also wrong on life just being "normal". Sweden did have quite a few restrictions, just not as many or as heavy as their neighbors.
With the rise of Tata, India, the US and Japan all have substantial automotive concerns that might be very interested in their suppliers having shorter supply chains. Especially after the black eye they've already gotten. Expect automotive lobbyists to be smoothing the way for these agreements to get approval from the respective State Departments.
> I thought starlink didnt work for mobile connections?

It will not work either far away from the shore.
For a few years, after the first acquisition but before the second by Blackberry, the source was online. Not as free software, but you could look at it.

I used to tell the QNX sales rep, "You worry about your product being pirated. Worry more about it being ignored." The major customers are big industrial firms and auto companies, and if they use it, you can find them. Besides, they want the support contract.
Well keep in mind that US GPS was developed by and is owned/operated by the US military. They're just letting us use it.
SWA, union insist pilots didn’t walk out to protest vaccine mandates
Do they list ingredients and nutrient facts anywhere yet?
That’s only their official position and they can’t change it because that’s one of the PRC red lines. They consider Taiwan dropping their claim on the mainland as a change in the status quo and a casus belli. Everyone know the RoC doesn’t aspire to a reunited China anymore.
My first thought was "wtf, did they circumvent electromagnetism from a distance?"
I am a big hater of canned tuna and my vegetarian wife once bought the plant-based tuna from Nestle. It's a disaster, it's as stinky as the real one. I hated the smell as much as the real one. So they did nail it. Therefore I see their egg and shrimps as a big opportunity. Honestly, I could never understand why vegetarian products can't reproduce the meaty flavors better. There are so many chips and junk-food products with fake smells who taste closer to the real thing than most replacement products, while being vegetarian or even vegan.
Nature is very kind and provides enough food to survive even without meat. I personally avoid all these ultra processed plant based products targeted to vegetarians/vegans and favor classic veggies/fruits

Don't forget that in the game of capitalism companies are in a never ending quest to develop new products, this simply is the next iteration. Just like cigarettes and alcohol were marketed as medicine, these things will be marketed as climate change or animal cruelty solutions

I don't believe that food, like many other industries, needs to be disrupted. I'll stick to veggies and fruit, pasta, bread, local stuff if possible &c. all the basics we've been eating for hundreds of years, processed food is poison, plant based or not

>Globally, land-use change is the direct driver with the largest relative impact on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, while direct exploitation of fish and seafood has the largest relative impact in the oceans (well established) (Figure SPM.2) {2.2.6.2}.

>Over one third of the world’s land surface and nearly three-quarters of available freshwater resources are devoted to crop or livestock production {2.1.11}. Crop production occurs on some 12 per cent of total ice-free land. Grazing occurs on about 25 per cent of total ice-free lands and approximately 70 per cent of drylands {2.1.11}. Approximately 25 per cent of the globe’s greenhouse gas emissions come from land clearing, crop production and fertilization, with animal-based food contributing 75 per cent of that.

Throttling is a prime example. If you start loading multitudes of sites in asynchronous fashion you'll have to enter some delay otherwise you run the risk of choking the server in misconfigured sites. I've DDoSed sites accidentally this way. You can of course build a framework on your own, and that's pretty much what every scraper does eventually, but it takes time and a lot of effort.
> But mandating a brand new vaccine is new.

If you were truly worried about the 'newness' of mRNA vaccines you would simply get the conventional Janssen vaccine instead. But of course, the real reason for your hesitancy is because your political 'side' has tried to turn COVID safety & mitigation into a political issue, has pushed the idea that the virus does not even exist and that vaccines are engineered to kill you or inject fictional microchips into your body to 'track' you instead. You are a genuine moron and society will be better off once you or your children die from COVID.
On desktop, it's still Firefox as #1 for me, Edge as #2, and everything else is extremely distant 3rd, except things I might test out to see if they have a use for me.

I know the idea of "gaming browser" is instantly cringeworthy, but I actually like some things in Opera GX. Having a built-in bandwidth limiter is awesome when I'm downloading large files and don't want them to completely take over my bandwidth. There are some good ideas in lots of lesser-used browsers, like this, but I never see these features bubble up to the big ones like FF/Edge.

Ad-blocking (and browser capability which supports content blocking) is a high priority for me (no I will not debate this on moral/ethical grounds- I refuse to see ads, end of story).

So, Chrome's manifest v3 among other poor choices by Google mean I will 100% stay away from Chrome- and I only use Chrome-based browsers when I absolutely must.

That said, I don't think these days I use anything that requires Chrome/Edge (thankfully). So I pretty much can avoid them completely.
What's next? Plant based vodka?

> I (and it turns out a lot of other people) used to use "do they code in Python?" as a heuristic for "are they a smart self motivated programmer"

Really? It's like asking if something is in the middle of a bell curve, getting an affirmative, and then treating that like an outlier.
I've managed to publish apps on the first try, but it's really rare. Most of the time I get 2 or 3 rejections and then an approval - just by continuously telling the app reviewers that the app does in fact comply with the guidelines, citing Apple's definitions of certain terms (which the app reviewers in many cases don't seem to know).
I'll trust the evaluation of an actual epidemiologist more than the interpretation I could ever make.
I'm not a demographer, so only time will tell how big of a problem it will become. The Chinese government is worried about it, already was couple of years ago.
But I don't see it becoming a roadblock that will prevent China from becoming the biggest economy in the world, hell I wouldn't be surprised that the Chinese market will be twice that of the combined western market.

China can always play the Asian immigration card. To soften the blow of a graying demographic.
Eh, maybe it is morbid but $partner gets paid in USD so it would be to our household's advantage as well ;)
I have a normal social calendar, but using the same desk and having to share space between work stuff and hobby stuff is getting to me. I could move to a bigger place but that's basically taking a paycut, or if it's a cheaper place it will mess up my social calendar again.

I don't dislike WFH and I think it has a place. I work on embedded devices and now I'm working at Apple on phone stuff. That place is not my job, I don't think WFH is any good for the teams I'm at and for the stuff I do. Even if I just go to the office once per week, that usually involves moving multiple devices and cables and tearing down/setting up my development setup somewhere else or having to maintain duplicate setups. Don't get me started on if I forget or don't think I'll need X measuring device or Y adapter cable or tool and then I have to hunt for a second one in the office or buy one for home.
It's strange. On one hand banks and payment processors have been shown to bow to public pressure and turn away money in exchange for a little PR, but on the other hand banks also have no problems working with terrorists and cartels which are very much legally risky.

I’m not overly fond of MacPorts dependency on the full-fat Xcode instead of just the Xcode CLI tools.
Fair points. (I hope nobody downvoted you)

I somewhat disagree on your general point, though. Pellet reactor (mostly?) solve the spent fuel issue. Also, I believe that due to unreasonable negative opinion we're behind a few decades where we could be in terms of research.

And as I said in my earlier comment, it is exactly this lack of public support that had (and has) us running old timer nuclear plants (like Chernobyl, Fukushima, and most of the currently operated plants in the US, the EU, and elsewhere).

But I agree 100% that the problems you cite need to solved, and these solutions have to be communicated.
When Nestlé’s involved the answer to that question is always money.

I won’t be surprised if they start convincing some third world counties that meat is bad and to eat their products making bank while causing widespread malnourishment in the process. It would not be the first time.
This has nothing to do with tech, it just is some users' here obsession with vaccines.
If they listed the shit they put in them nobody would eat them.
Same thing with hot dog sausages or chicken nuggets, when you've seen the factory videos they're puke inducing
There's a well known correlation between economic progress and ecological protection. The wealthier a community, the better it can make good long term decisions about maintaining the ecosystems around it.

When people are struggling, they use whatever they can to survive. They'll burn wood indoors, and strip the wooded areas of all trees, use up as much groundwater through wells as possible, and so on...

Get rid of the do-or-die hard scrabble for survival and people can start being better stewards. It's the largely invisible, widespread, and long term effects, like leaded gas and co2 impacts on climate that require nation state intervention through science based policy.

For highly empowering things like this, the upshot is likely that even though the tech is not likely to be as clean and efficient as we'd want, it will enable individuals and communities to thrive and better their lives to the point that they can start affording long term ecological preservation.
I just looked at graphs and it looks so incredibly mild compared to the rest of Europe (especially spain*)
You are talking about a many-to-many relationship here. Every payment processor has to ensure their system works with every bank, and vice versa. So the standard defines the data format, great. What happens when Payment Provider #223 has an issue communicating with Bank #16252? On an even bigger scale, who is going to maintain all of the necessary technical info for the parties to all interoperate? Who will handle fraud detection? Who will be liable for fraud that goes undetected?

Credit card companies handle all of that and much more in exchange for transaction fees.
I ran into a similar issue when I tried to generate a podcast RSS feed from a website whose built-in feed didn't go back far enough. I was trying to do HTTP range requests on the mp3 files to save bandwidth and just fetch their metadata. Sure enough, mostly no duration and if the encoder did put it in a custom field it was usually different than what VLC says.
