Ask HN: Has remote work made you move to a new location or consider it?
I live in a city and used to have a daily commute to the office. The pandemic changed all that. The switch to remote work made me contemplate a move to a quieter location, closer to the countryside. I haven't moved though because my parents live nearby and are quite frail. It's more important to me that I remain living close to them.

Who has made a move to a new location due to remote working? Who has considered it?
ripgrep is great! Also, I’ve learned a lot by simply looking at his advent of code repository which contains a lot of small challenges that will help you learn some best practices on idiomatic Rust and at the same time will not get you overwhelmed by the complexity of a big project.
but how do I rip redbull.tv?
There's another way in which unjust pay might have been mutually agreed: it might have been just when it was agreed, but as the pay was eroded by inflation and the employee's productivity increased it might have become unjust (especially in cases where new hires are paid much more).
Thank you for this tip, which is very concretely worth 1 ETH.

I kindda expected a WASM project, but this looks to be a full port? Amazing and it's very readable as well
This is exactly what glibc did. If you want you can use the 64-bit types and symbols directly. The _TIME_BITS=64 macro redefines the standard C & POSIX time things to point to the 64-bit variants, so you can just recompile code to use them.
I would like to see that avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328 works with the latest compiler. Some bug in LLVM broke it[1], because it didn't work starting with versions after nightly-2021-01-07[2]. I know that rust team has nothing to do with this, but they should improve the gcc codegen[3] to be able to run rust on more embedded devices than LLVM has support for. Someone wanted to port his libc written in rust to ia64 and the gcc codegen broke and couldn't compile that.

This is blatantly false. https://discord.com/terms under "your content" claims that I give Discord a forwardable and nonrevokable license to do anything with my content, not that I transfer copyright.
I wish there was an integrated solution for this approach. Both programs are relatively hard to use in isolation, for "civilians"; combining them is pretty hard.

Password management, afaik, still needs a zero-knowledge cloud-agnostic solution that is easy to set up and run. There are the big boys (1password, bitwarden, LastPass) and then there are local-only solutions; in between, where the sweet spot should be, there is only a bunch of hacks. The issue is monetization - the incentives for that side are towards centralizing.
The US is definitely monocultural compared to India and Brazil. So you can’t make those comparisons either, at least according to your own criteria...
I am glad I grew up when I did and got to see that. Since 2010 it's war movies and tepid hip-hop and fifteen remakes of the same historical dramas.
No idea, honestly. I think I am lucky and I do not get targeted by many phishing mails. (Let's see how much things will change now that this comment is public.)
That last part is real. There are jerks out there and there are people out there who help contribute their power of consideration. I have reminded myself that taking the leap of faith will probably result in others exposing me to ways of thinking that I may not consider in my silo/bubble.
That would be untenable - I wouldn't be able to cleanly `gcc -o blah blah.c` without making an explicit decision, and by extension wouldn't be able to (continue to) compile existing code either.

Rebuilds on every codebase everywhere ever would promptly blow up.

IMHO the revolts would come from two camps, a) bureaucracies for whom a build system change would normally take months, and b) individual devs who would be all like "compilation flags?? in MY defaults?! that's LESS likely than you think!".

Worst case scenario, someone forks glibc, removes the offending requirement, proffers commercial support for their fork... and ends up making bank.

Would you avoid using any password storage where either the system itself or the underlying foundation has had serious vulnerabilities at some point?

Or only bad vulnerabilities triggered using JavaScript? Or would you only accept a history with vulnerabilities if security researchers were paid properly for the work they invested into finding the issues?
So these people you know are, for no stated reason, wanting to abitrarily limit your quality of life and that of everyone else who isn't them, and yet you claimed you could be easily won over to their side if they just personally flew less themselves?

Those people sound terrible, and you shouldn't let them convince you, I'm confused as to why you would be so open to their arguments, they sound terrible.

I mistakenly thought you were talking about real people who actually exist, who know that systemic action is required to deal with climate change and called you out on your obvious concern trolling about their personal choices within the current system. Agreeing with those people would make sense, because they are correct, which is generally a good rule of thumb when deciding who to agree with, hence my assumption that you were talking about them when you said you nearly agreed with them (though still confused about why'd you'd hold back on that agreement based on things unrelated to the actual issue).
There are so many clever ways to code honeypots using obscure peculiarities of Solidity and/or Etherscan that there's little hope of being sure that it isn't a scam just by looking at the code and transaction history.

Fortunately, there are tools like Ganache, which you can run with `ganache-cli --fork` to reliably emulate locally what will happen when transactions are sent to mainnet. I would accept no substitute approach when dealing with suspect contracts.
To me it’s funny when people loudly shout the progress a generation made themselves while at the same time saying “and no further!”.

The truth is most of the older generations right now not only don’t want to understand what the struggles are of the day they live in, they insist on keeping as much power and influence as possible. They’re now learning (or not) the lesson that they taught the generation before them.

I agree with the parent.

E-mail is grotesquely expensive to manage because of its weaknesses and its use as a vector of attack.

The best replacement solution is an organisational portal that people use to communicate with the organisation and upload/download documents. Some governments and banks have already been handling interactions with external entities and citizens/customers this way for years.

The upload and download tunnel is secure, the receiver can scan the uploaded information (detonate in a sandbox if necessary), and the sender can trust the messages and documents that are downloaded.
The self developed UK government online services tend to be pretty good (sometimes very good!). It's the stuff they outsource to government contractors whose CEOs play golf with government ministers that are universally terrible.
Sounds like they’re fighting the symptoms instead of the cause.

You can’t pump billions in subsidies into the market, lower interest rates to the floor to prevent that money from going around capital markets and not expect some kind of dysfunctional price rise in the real estate market. Money finds its way to where it provides the best return, and right now that is real estate in most markets. Trying to fight this tide at the real estate end is somewhat futile. The governments need to give the money a better place to go.
Oh huh, I didn't know Ganache could do that, thank you!
You seem to make a contradicting statement here with what you wrote in the sibling comment, no? timezone information are influenced by political means, whereas localization (lat/long) information is not. UTC timestamp + localization seem more correct to me.

What is your view on the relationship between ADHD and childhood trauma?
It actually is especially difficult at scale for non-trivial applications. Large databases won't be able to atomically change every instance which may lead to very frustrating bugs where collisions cannot be allowed. For example, on a calendar app. I agree with dtech, if you're storing in the future don't use a timestamp unless the input value is specifically intended to be timezone unaware, which is typically only useful for short term things like control systems or alarms. For longterm human uses a datetime+timezone field or an ISO datetime+timezone string is safer.
My first thought is that it must be something to do with DnD.

Although I can further imagine that it is for some other more steampunk table top game.
Bitwarden is really nice.

>When people keep close track of each other's ancestry, that's female empowerment?

The idea was that offspring of different females were spatially segregated in the tomb. If the females were powerless members of the patriarch's harem, the social status of their offspring would depend only on their relation with the common father or some other brotherly ranking. The different family trees that emerge suggest that these matriarchs had at least some power in the later development of the community.

It happens literally all the time, sometimes with very little heads up e.g. the decision to apply DST or not can be take mere weeks before it actually occurs[0], and something as impactful as an entire calendar day disappearing can happen with 6 months notice[1].

Haha, I love the concept of leaning into my ego to try to bring out the same desired outcome. It reminds me how RadioLab did a podcast on the idea of altruism as a selfish trait.

I think in a way we are all pilots of this big elephant like meat machine. It has its wants, it has its needs, and as pilots we are trying to steer ourselves with the understanding that the elephant is ultimately doing what it wants. I suppose the trick is to understand the elephant (ourselves) to know how to steer into the direction we want.
>Well, it turns out that insomnia is largely a form of performance anxiety that accrues over years of episodic poor sleep due to stress, travel, environmental changes, etc

While his scientific method is great, this guy is making the same mistake that most people make, which is thinking it is all in your head, and can be fixed by changing your thoughts. People make this mistake because they notice that when you are more relaxed, you get to sleep quicker and visa versa. This is true to a point. You can gain an extra 30 minutes or an hour if you are in the right mood, but this is only a small change either way of what your natural rhythm is already set to. You can't change it any more than that by thinking.

Sleep schedules are hard coded things that work by physical means. Long story short: wear full blue blocking glasses for 4 hours before bed at night (especially if you are using a computer), and a SAD light smack in your face first thing while eating breakfast in the morning, and you'll never have sleep trouble again. You can get very cheap versions of both on ebay or wherever, you don't need the fancy $100+ ones.

I'm a student at the Actuarial Society of South Africa. I have been for the past 20 years. This demo question, while not easy for a non-technical person, should be a piece of cake for someone who has completed the initial few technical subjects of the curriculum, the core technical series of subjects. I actually think any numerical calculation isn't a very good example or benchmark of what a good actuary should know or be.

Most students who start Actuarial Science here are mathematically strong and getting through the technical subjects just needs dedication to study and know the numerical theories and proofs.

It's the latter subjects that are the really difficult ones. They are wordy questions and answers. The exams don't necessarily exclude numerical calculations, but if calculations occur, it will be relatively simple (compared to the initial subjects). Exams of the final subjects require you to think out of the box and questions often involve areas that weren't included in the subject's literature. You are expected to apply your knowledge of earlier subjects to a novel scenario and propose solutions that you can't study for ahead of the exam. You can practise using past exam papers, but your exam is guaranteed to throw you a real curveball.

Example: F202 LIFE INSURANCE SPECIALIST APPLICATIONS

November 2021 Exam [1]

November 2021 Examiner's Report [2]

And this is the test of a true actuary. Is he/she a problem solver and not just a number cruncher? (It's also why I haven't been able to qualified yet.)

I remember in my first year at university a professor claimed that the actuarial science curriculum is like initially learning the basics of the decimal number system. 10 digits, 0 to 9, carry over or borrow digits from the neighbouring power of 10. 0 is a placeholder, etc. Then, in your final exam, you see a question: Design an abacus. You have all the knowledge, but now you have to apply it.

We all thought he was exaggerating to scare us. 20 years later, I'm totally on board with him. It was a realistic analogy.

> The main problem in my opinion regarding Germany is that it becomes really hard to accumulate wealth

That's by design, isn't it? You're not really supposed to build up private wealth, you're supposed to fund social security systems and rely on them when in trouble.

I remember some high-ranking politician (I believe SPD, but my memory is weak) said in regards to Germany's low personal wealth that in Germany your wealth is having a social system you can rely on (and thus you don't need to have personal wealth).
Distance won't be a problem. 2^64 seconds takes us past the point where the expansion of the universe is such that anything you are not gravitationally bound to is outside your cosmological horizon.

You'll be in a much bigger universe, but it will be empty except for your local galaxy group.
I don't know if this is right. We're talking about thermodynamic heaters, like Peltier elements, correct? Those need electricity to work and the question then becomes: where does the electricity come from? Burning wood, if it can be done efficiently, and like the article says, is almost neutral in terms of carbon emissions because you're only realeasing carbon that is part of the atmospheric carbon cycle, circulating between the atmosphere and the biosphere.

With a heat pump, if the electricity comes from burning fossil fuel then you're contributing to greenhouse gas emissions (all those carbon gasses are released in a much higher rate than they were stored and, more importantly, than what the environment can keep up with). If the electricity comes from renewable sources, then it's a real saving, but how probable is that right now? If you can burn wood at 80-90% efficiency, as the article claims, then that's a net gain right now.

Personally I also don't like the reliance on a complicated mechanism that can't be easily made by hand. I don't like that because it means the technology is harder to adopt. I'm talking about heat pumps. By the sound of it an "oven stove" is much easier to make and maintain, if they had them back in the middle ages. So they can be used by many more people for whom the price of electricity is higher than the price of scrap wood. For a technology to make a difference it doesn't just need to be efficient, it must also be affordable and useable by everyone.
People can now no longer say those who wish for the games of decades past are wearing rose-tinted glasses when there's this dog shit that's actively being peddled as the future of games.
Thinking back as a math major who took a couple of exams, it’s an utterly outdated and dying career path. And it boggles my mind why they kept recommending such a narrow path to math majors.

> because it is lowering it's potential energy.

There’s also kinetic energy. The Earth rotates, and we have the Moon. It’s theoretically possible to build a machine which harvests energy from that rotation. Tides are powered by that energy, it’s obvious one could build a machine to extract energy from tidal waves in the ocean. It should be possible to build a machine which extracts that energy directly, without the water.

Probably not practical because the energy density is too low, and the machine needs to be prohibitively massive.
I assume people can do that. That’s how it works with any free/freemium SaaS tier though. a few likely try to limit free usage abuse, but usually it’s allowed because the benefits of going after the few people creating a bunch of free accounts isn’t worth it, not financially or PR.

Earth rotation and Moon orbiting can do a massive amount of work (see tide waves), but energy density is very low.
Some people would love to compensate the original creator. And some people would be willing to pay to be able to easily consume content legally.

I pay for access but am not ensured that the content I like is going to be available.

The Sony Xperia line up has SD card slots, headphone back, and dual SIM capability. I don't think they have OLED, but the screens get good reviews. Looks like you can expect only 2 years of updates though.
I think for software there's also a part where the managers don't understand, or can't measure, skill/contribution. So it ends up just being seniority.
Not really. Yugoslavia, another socialist country, was probably the most prominent European country that identified as "third-world".
"Second world" was basically the Warsaw Pact, China and their other satellites, not just any socialist state.

> In general the German population doesn’t care about owning property (last I saw only 40% of the country had actual interest in home ownership) and so this puts the market in the hands of the landlords entirely.

In general, at least around big cities(100 km radius from München, for example), the "german" population does not afford a house. A new house is around 450000 euros and the land under it is also between 200 - 500 Euros per square meter. For a lot of people, especially migrants, this is undoable. If course if you go in forgotten places with no industry, no public transport and a lot of neo nazis you can find affordable housing.

> Which is probably the reason why there is so much seething on HN about how Europe is oppressing people

Well, that's something new for me. On the opposite, I see many people complain about (1) medical care costs in the USA, and how the system is designed in a wrong way - in Europe, you can either pay (much less than in the USA) or get healthcare for free, (2) no guaranteed PTO - in Europe, you have guaranteed 26 days + public holidays, (3) extremely high cost of higher education (in most of Europe is free/quite cheap), (4) related to that, student debt getting out of control (this is showing up often on HN), (5) inhuman approach to parental leave - you often need to go back to your factory a few weeks after giving birth to your baby! FB boasts of 4 months - how generous of them! In many European countries you get a year. Moreover, there are laws giving similar rights to fathers.

That might be the case for normies who click phishing links or SEO-optimized phishing sites that appear on Google search results (instead of, you know, just typing the URL of the site they want).

I tend to navigate by URL or browser history, so I just don't enter phishing URLs.
