You are right that especially after corona the tech world will probably increase remote or hybrid jobs.

In our system we offer a search for companies with a specific tech stack - currently location-based but we might integrate a location-independent search in the future. Today a remote worker or freelancer can search for a company in their home region or a vacation spot and ask for remote opportunities.

You can enable/disable individual optimizations. How much more granular do you need?
In Gerrit, the review unit is commonly one commit. IMO the Github pattern of bundling several changes in one review is a mistake.
> "Several seconds" of lag is nothing for an "Inter-Planetary File System", in fact it's on par with other decentralised P2P networks.

That's good enough for kicking off batch file transfers (assuming you mean P2P networks like BitTorrent), but there's no evidence that people will tolerate a slow web, and lots of evidence that they won't.
I'll check this - it might be caused by the parsers in Elasticsearch as they remove special characters such as the hashtag (#).
Conversely, services that give access to leave/clone via an open protocol like git are the last ones you should worry about lock-in with...right?

Unless you get too comfortable with the services' tertiary benefits, and that's not lock in — that's just comfort.
It's not about that.

If you make a service with popular third party extensions and then you make a change that breaks those popular third party extensions, the users are gonna be mad. At you.

The obvious way to reduce the likelihood of that is to publish an API for the third parties to use that won't break. You can say you have no obligation to provide that, and that's fine, but then it's going to break and the users are gonna be mad. At you.

I do think it is picking up. In particular with things like AltSpace VR and VR Chat and a few others. And I think within the next few years as really lightweight and comfortable VR glasses/headsets come out it will probably explode.

But of course people have been anticipating the extreme popularity of VR since the 80s. OpenSim came out 14 years ago for example.

But I am looking forward to really comfortable and capable AR/VR glasses so I can ditch my laptop for everyday work.
Comments are also de-facto disabled for the monthly "who's hiring" posts. Personally I think this is a good thing, these posts are for people looking for jobs and employers posting them, not for debating the good/bad of individual employers which would create a massive distraction and could easily be found/posted elsewhere by people that were interested. I expect it's the same with featured YC companies that are hiring.
> Algorithms are sort of like a parent to a computer

One of the less illuminating analogies I've heard. People should stick to "recipe" or "assembly instructions" and don't try to get so creative.
Cryptocurrency is different from storage because cryptocurrency needs to provide global consistency guarantees.

Skynet is a decentralized network with lookup times that have a p50 TTFB of under 200ms. It achieves this by looking things up directly on hosts rather than routing through a DHT. There's a bit of overhead to accomplish this (around 200kb of extra bandwidth per lookup), but for a smooth web experience that tradeoff is more than worthwhile.
> Forecasting is not for them.

If you'd read the article, you'd know it was a review of all the forecasts made by Uber and Lyft. The journalist didn't forecast anything.

So I guess your comment should say:

Uber and Lyft need to find a new hobby. Forecasting is not for them.
AR glasses do exist. They just aren't comfortable or popular and inexpensive.

The thing is, organizations have their own sort of "intent" apart from the people involved in them, and the process you describe is exactly how that intent is expressed. Who decides what should be tested and how? Who can be affected without anyone noticing or fixing the problem? Which problems are deemed important to fix and which are more of a "nice to have"?

It's possible for most people in an organization to care about something -- in the sense that they'll tell you they care if you ask them, and if you point out a problem they'll spend some time trying to fix it -- while the organization itself doesn't actually care in the slightest. The people who care can't fix the problems if they don't see them in the first place or if other problems have already been prioritized above them.
Most math textbooks contextualize it like that, so I guess yours did too. Just that in school kids almost never care about that, they just want to pass the tests and therefore ignore all contextualization and just remember the minimum possible amount required to solve test questions. So likely you already saw those things many times before and forgot since you didn't find it important back then.

That is the main struggle for many math teachers, they try to do all these fun and interesting explanations, and the kids just ignore it and go directly for the formulas and forgets everything else. the problem seems easy to solve until you have experienced trying to apply it yourself to a real class of kids needing the material for real grades. It can be done, but a teacher who could do it could make way more money in entertainment etc, since that is what is required to get kids to pay attention.
I can't say for your particular model, since you didn't list it, but there is generally a trade-off: the arrow keys make the keyboard area larger and less "squared" (rectangled) as they will protrude from the bottom of the keyboard.

This, in turn, is a trade-off for manufacturing. It will increase the cost of everything slightly. The keyboard unit itself as it will be larger, maye be harder to produce. Machining or producing the chassis now requires accounting for an additional cut.

This is all solvable, yes. Though it is harder for smaller scale productions. It is likely they are working with vendors that, themselves, only have "entirely rectangular" keyboards as this is what the market ends up wanting for cost reasons.
> Sadly, this does seem to be true for the majority of junior folks. They just can't code. I don't really know how you get out of a degree program without that, but they somehow do.

I don't know if this applies to the top CS schools, but now that CS is quickly becoming the most popular major at the majority of US colleges, you have to expect the average quality to drop. Once upon a time, CS programs were filled with the kids who were innately just really into computers. Now they're filled with all of the kids who don't necessarily love tech, but just compared "SWE Salary" vs "Doctor Salary" vs "I-banker Salary" when deciding what to major in. Now that crazy FAANG salaries and "day in the life" videos are splattered all over Twitter and YouTube, more and more money/prestige chasers will be graduating with CS degrees even if they just scraped by without really absorbing the material and writing a lot of code.
As generous as the half a bowl of rice Kim Jong-un gives to his loyal subjects.
There are whole branches of computer science and IT dedicated to reducing the likelihood of unpleasant outcomes: cryptography, security, disaster recovery etc.

You cannot guarantee your public key algorithm is impossible to break, but you can use keys long enough that an attacker has an arbitrarily low chance of succes with the best known methods.

You cannot prove your program is bug free, outside of highly specialized fields like aircraft control, but you can build a multi-layered architecture that can reduce the likelihood of successful intrusion. You cannot prevent a EMP bomb from wiping all your hard-drives at once, but you will likely maintain integrity of your database for uncorrelated hardware errors.

"Likely" is a tool that works in the real world. If you will chase mathematic certainty, your competition will likely eat your lunch.

Where you might be correct is that "unlikely" is very close to "likely" in the particular topic of thread safety, you just need a sufficiently large userbase with workloads and environments sufficiently different from your test setup.

One of his memorable blog posts was on generating permutations in array languages[1]. In his spoiler explanation he comments about generating permutations of 0..4 starting from permutations of 0..3 and a "magical matrix" to do that, and then discusses:

"What is the “best” perm function I can write in APL? This “best” is a benchmark not only on my own understanding but also on advancements in APL over the years." and then shows one he wrote in 1981, one from 1987, then "I worked on perm from time to time in this period [1990-2007] but in J rather than in APL", then one from 2008, and one from 2015, and where future improvements might be found. In a video talk on it he says "some of these sub-expressions can be improved, but the APL language cannot yet express the thought that I have"[2]. I just like that pattern of returning to the same problems and polishing both the language and solution over multiple decades.

I count 12 deaths in the US from nuclear related accidents in the US since 1955. [1].

Chernobyl, the worst recorded nuclear disaster, was directly responsible for 33 deaths and estimates on total attributable deaths due to health complications from radiation range from 4,000 to 60,000 [2].

In 2018, it is estimated that fossil fuel air pollution was responsible for over 8m deaths worldwide. [3]

Mortality rate by tWH isn't even close [4]. Fossil fuels are significantly more damaging both in terms of loss-of-life and habitability on this planet.

They probably have 4-7 different roles with 3-6 different companies.
> Design is the thing the client sees, implementation is the stuff they don't see.

By this definition, bugs and other unintended consequences that the user encounters are "Design".

> Calling that an implementation detail is like calling your car's steering wheel an implementation detail.

Yes, if there weren't so many important decisions behind the outcome of a car being steered with a steering wheel, it could be a steering handle, or a steering joystick, or just about anything else that allows you to orient the front wheels of the car. The same is true of the pedals on the floor. Those could be implemented as controls on the steering wheel instead. Whether it's an implementation detail depends on the specificity of the feature in question. When I asked you about an "implementation detail", it was scoped to "the feature is pattern matching" (can I steer the car?) and you scoped it to "the feature is pattern matching without overwriting variables conditionally in surprising ways" (can I steer the car with failure modes that aren't fatal?).
You're not imagining it. There's a truly amateur piano player that puts links to his videos in almost every comment thread in 2setviolin videos. It's really obnoxious. And he's not the only spammer - just the most persistent one.
Chernobyl by all accounts killed thousands of people, and by some (dubious) accounts may have killed many more than that.

Chernobyl was capable of killing millions of people, again I refer you to the article that I started this whole subthread with. What actually happened in Chernobyl was very very far from the worst case nuclear disaster: https://www.thetrumpet.com/14007-three-men-who-saved-million...

The author says that mathematicians find math outside their own field to be boring and difficult to understand. As a mathematician, I think he's rather missing the point:

- mathematics is boring to everyone right up until the moment you need it. Then suddenly it becomes very interesting.

The way mathematicians typically read papers is not by randomly picking through recent submissions to the arxiv and dutifully reading everything they come across. Instead, they stumble on a hard problem in their own research which they don't know how to solve, and they search to see if anyone else has worked on it before. The paper you would have discarded as pointlessly abstract or ridiculously overspecialized just yesterday suddenly reads like a riveting novel today. No amount of creative writing tips would have made it any more interesting to you yesterday - unless the writers happened to anticipate the exact reason you would end up becoming interested in it ahead of time.
There have been superpositions maintained on the scale of a meter using these fountain experiments. I think the chip traps, SC qubit chips, dot chips, etc… will be much smaller than this.
Well in the 90s when the web was new, centralized players like AOL and Compuserve were where the users found an on-ramp to the Internet. I think of Facebook as the AOL of today's web, and they want to be the AOL of tomorrow's VR/AR mixed media metaverse. But hopefully the masses of users will grow past this next "AOL" and find their way to the VR/XR decentralized Web. This is yet to be determined...

Zig is a really interesting language for game dev.

I was thinking about using Zig with raylib for my next project. The show stopper was that C ABI compatibility is not yet complete: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1481

I could have probably worked around it but decided to go the C and Lua for scripting route for now which works great but I can totally see Zig as a decent C replacement.

I am not interested in Windows but I am wishing you best of luck with your project. Seems quite interesting.
> Bandwidth as a currency eventually proved to be a failure.

I'm not sure why everyone assumes that bittorrent was about currency. It wasn't, and that was its superpower. No matter how much you were able to contribute, you were able to strengthen its system, redundancy and availability.

The only problem bittorrent had in practice was a legal one that finally led to a problem of availability of discovery.

All that filecoin hype will lead to only one thing, and one thing only: the people that are popular will decide what files are worth to the system, and the masses will simply dump everything else and forget about it.

Add an inflation for every modification of any file in the whole system, and you have a perfect way to destroy real incentives.

I don't believe in most web3 projects because they always think it's about trading files with each other. It is not. Discovery and access to data should not be limited by your financial capability to buy things. The internet exploded because people got access to vast amounts of knowledge, for basically free compared to before.

How many tons of coal do we need to burn to convert everything to renewables? How many mountains / forests / bodies of water do we need to destroy to get the raw materials to complete the shift to renewables?

Note that the Filecoin network (which was designed to be the incentive layer for IPFS storage) has been operational for some time. If you look at the current status at https://file.app/ , you can see that storage costs there are extremely low for large amounts of data. If you can get your data verified as open, public data by applying for datacap with a Filecoin+ notary, it's currently free. See https://plus.fil.org/ (you can get 32GB of free datacap to play with just for having a github account).

If you want to use the Filecoin network as a "provider of last resort" for IPFS data, there's https://estuary.tech which will mark your data as verified, sort out the deals with storage providers, and then mirror it to IPFS.

There's also third-party tools like https://fission.codes/ , https://docs.textile.io/powergate/ , https://web3.storage/ and https://www.pinata.cloud/ for making this easier.

(Disclosure: I work at the Filecoin Foundation.)
That's not quite a battery. There's no energy storage going on this relationship, just using trade to balance out highly variable energy production through trade.

What I would like, I think, is the ability to specify both the multihash and a place to request the data from.

Like, if I’m talking to someone over some chat setup which doesn’t have a built in “send this file directly to this person” feature, it would be nice to be able to say, give them a multihash of the file and my external ipv6 address (+ port? I’m not quite sure how routing works), and have them request the file from my computer.

Now, you might say “but how does that help with the situation where a bunch of people in a room want the same file from a distant location?”.

And, maybe it doesn’t as much? But I think if e.g. people on a local network had theirs try first if the local network already had it, and then check the given external address, that that could work?
I'd love to see the study if you have a link, and I'm not referring just to Trump and Brexit. CA and their parent firm Strategic Communication Laboratires Group[1][2] (a military psychological warfare consulting firm) had a hand in elections in over 200 elections globally[3]. They went far beyond basic Facebook ads.

> As part of the Channel 4 investigation, executives said Cambridge Analytica and its parent company Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) had worked in more than 200 elections across the world, including in the Czech Republic.

> "We've just used a different organisation to run a very, very successful project in an Eastern European country where... no-one even knew they were there," company executive Mark Turnbull said.

It's also a pretty big contortion of facts to say the "world" "wanted" Brexit and Trump. Trump never won the popular vote in the US, and he was always wildly unpopular globally. The polls for Brexit were tight at times, but they were predominantly for 'remain' the majority of the historic timeline[4].
