I don't really like physically being around only men, so I don't enjoy being in the workplace.

I much prefer to work from home when I work at companies that have a small percentage of women on my team (which is every software job I've had in the last 15 years)

> the ability of people to filter the ideas to which they are exposed

I'd say its the reverse. The inability of people to apply a reasonable filter on the stuff they are exposed to (and I mean mental filter, not technical filter). I've seen people go full-on down the rabbit hole of conspiracism to their own detriment purely on the basis of following YouTube's recommendations (without actively seeking specific topics).
Why is it considered acceptable behavior for journalists to dox and publicise the personal information of persons wishing to remain anonymous? It seems clear that this information being public puts these founders are risk of physical harm but there is somehow no question of ethics?
I learned Dvorak because I knew I would never work out the bad habits I had with QWERTY. Dvorak is a HORRIBLE layout for mobile, but I used it for about a month while learning Dvorak and it really helped. It’s horrible since you often type in mobile with one hand which means your fingers get tired quickly from moving between the sides of the keyboard. I’ve never really had issues going back to QWERTY keyboards (no more so than usual slight frustrations when moving between slightly different keyboards).
It is interesting to me how big of a gulf there is between the pro-office and pro-WFH groups. It isn't the case that one is completely right and one is completely wrong. Clearly, there are different working styles, different personalities, and different social needs. How do we build work environments that can accommodate both?
I actually have a desk in my bedroom which is completely devoted to work. I believe the problem is that it is in my bedroom, but this is how it worked out with two people working in a tiny apartment.
Is this talking in any way about cutting out banks, credit card services, or payment processors? This is all just fluff talk right now is my guess. I'd feel like I'd be way more interested in trying to formalize an inter-bank payment system that works better than ACH, which seemingly will never be real-time enough to make it viable for things like point-of-sale use.
I'd have said anti-school-closure parents, but we're already well past that point.
Public school teachers belong to unions and have lifetime pensions. Many of them have their educational loans forgiven after a certain number of years of service.

Same analysis applies. Smaller tumours are easier to cure. Cure means eradicating every cell. That is why chemotherapy is given in cycles, to achieve fractional cell kill until there are no cells left to regrow.

Prolonging life in advanced incurable disease is important but it isn't getting us to where we want to be. Having advanced cancer is a state associated with immense suffering, as much psychological and spiritual as it is physical, even when things are under control. We can pat ourselves on the back for saying on average we have given this person an extra 6 months of life, but when you are administering these treatments or recieving them it does not feel like a win. Also, young people get cancer - eg the most common cause of non-accidental non-suicide death in women aged 25 - 40 is breast cancer. An extra year isn't enough for a woman with advanced breast cancer in that phase of life, especially as it is spent running back and forth from hospital and in various states of ill health either from the disease or treatment side-effects. Almost all of them would rather be alive and having the treatment of course, but taking a step back, I feel very strongly that we need to do better than this and we need to offer more than this, and what is the best of all is if as few people as possible ever meet an Oncologist. It's important not to lose sight of that.

The other point I was making is that successful cancer treatment is difficult and expensive, and if you are mentally ill or poor or homeless or in the wrong country or in a warzone etc then you will miss out.
This comment is the equivalent of the developer having a redundant, 10GbE Ethernet connection, building a mobile app for users who will have spotty 3G.
I was looking for this. But couldn't remember the name. Thank you for mentioning it.
I've been working from home for ~9 years. We live a short distance from town, so I use small grocery runs for about the same purpose as you were using commutes. Drive for 15-20 minutes listening to a podcast or thinking, do something useful, then drive back.

Hard agree on a clear distinction between work life and home life. I require an office in the home with a door that closes. When I am in the office, I am working. When I leave the office, I am not working. The closed door separates my work life from my home life.

My kids are trained not to come into the office, and my wife respects the boundary and messages me instead. I don't work from the living room or dining room. (I've tried, and I can't do it anyway, I become nearly useless to both the family members trying to talk to me, as well as my employer.)
How would they handle theft? Would all payments (except for maybe major systemic hacks) be irreversible?

Surely they couldn't blacklist stolen dollars that may have been subsequently spent multiple times. Would they mint new dollars to replace funds that have been proven to have been stolen (i.e., providing similar protection that bank and credit card customers have now)?
I dunno, it seems you misunderstood me, or idk. I clearly said that it is completely arbitrary to choose one over another, and expressing a preference over either one is just a way of poking fun at people who are anal about choosing a specific one. So there isn't really any disagreement, though I'm always amazed at what lengths people go to, to express what they think, while they're really just arguing about the definition of some thing.

> It is taken very seriously, though.

And those who do take it terribly seriously deserve being poked at ;)

> why store money in the bank at all when your digital wallet is perfectly safe

Because banks lend the money out, earn revenue from that, and thereby pay you interest. Banks aren't vaults; they are money circulation machines. Their business is finding the best investments, which creates efficiency in allocation of capital in the economy.
>I lay blame for a lot of the bipolarism of modern discourse on the ability of people to filter the ideas to which they are exposed to a great degree.

The ability? I think the lack of ability.

I think it's wrong to assign agency to people over what they see just because they provide inputs to the algorithms.
Not familiar with Privacy Badger or Privacy Possum, but I'm guessing they are what's subverting this technique? The other ones probably don't come into play.
The runaway trim was driving the nose down into a dive, not up into a stall.
I think maybe this is some kind of local optimum, but a poor one. Like if your devs already don't give two shits about anything, pressure from you watching over them might improve things somewhat.

But like the real fix is a path to a much better optimum, which is giving employees autonomy, trusting them, rewarding them adequately, getting them to actually care, so that they don't need to be watched over as individual code monkeys.
It very much doesn't work like that. I work on Guix a little, and I remember someone saying ~5% of packages were broken at any given time. there is something of an equilibrium between packages breaking due to changes and someone fixing them. Packages are also not truly functional in the functional programming sense. For practical reasons, Nix/Guix just try their best to remove as much state as possible to make things behave consistently. But for example, the number of cores available is different between different machines and race conditions can occur.
Ok but why? Because Google wants an internet strong & rich in content, where the world isn't afraid to share & bring their views online? Admittedly: there've been bad recent problems with bad actors manipulating platforms. But this still sounds like the good world to me. Supporting safe harbor, allowing new players to try to make their own communities.

A richer internet, with more service providers, not afraid to host speech is pro diversity. Google's benefit here is that they help the internet, the health of the internet is important to their business.

Everything here sounds like fundamental, sound, democratic principles that I believe strongly in. Cato is a well known libertarian organization, who naturally would advocate for indemnity, for safe harbor. To not have these sounds extremely perilous. Personally, Cato freaks me out in a number of places, but they're just talking basic, clear, good sense. Along-side another entity that wants to make sure the net is open & welcoming to new service-providers, not just left growing stale & ossified; Google knows that would be death for the internet. Section 230 feels like one of the only safeguards we have against that certain ossification, the final & forever take-over by the current big giants - the only ones with enough wealth to fund the proto-fascist censorship-first alternatives not having Section 230 would entail.
Home, though my ideal environment would be outdoors, in something like a gazebo or a sheltered spot in a park, sitting with my computer surrounded by nature, occasionally watching people and animals without having to interact.

Before you claim silencing opposing views, you should at least have some examples and show some proof that it's not the users flagging or down voting.

> Electrifying US rail outside of switchyards won’t ever be practical, unless you could drive down the cost of electrified tracks with a third rail (overhead electric at this scale would be obscenely expensive).

India has electrified almost 50,000 kilometers of track with overhead wires and this is increasing eabout 5000 km a year.
China has almost 100,000 km of electrified rail track.

So very likely whatever barriers to electrification there are in the US are largely self inflicted and maybe corruption or regulatory capture driven.
The string "FAA" does not appear in that wiki nor the cited article. The cited article just says that descent to FL260 is required in one model of 727 if one of the yaw dampers fails.

The cited article doesn't even seem to support the line in the wiki. I don't see the word "unsafe" anywhere in the cited source and the only "requirement" is the descent to FL260 in case of a failure.
For me the fingerprint changed after the first refresh, but then it stayed the same. I wonder what's different in the first visit

> For example, YouTube shared videos containing COVID-19 misinformation 20 million times, generating 71 million reactions in eight months (Gallo, 2021).

How would reworking Section 230 fix this? Most of that information isn't punishable by the federal government, it falls under first amendment protections.

A lot of the most dangerous speech online is protected speech, the exclusions here like libel or incitement to violence are very narrow. For better or worse, the government can't punish people over saying that vaccines are dangerous. The only entities that can legally crack down on that information are the private entities that control their own platforms.

I often find in critiques of Section 230 that people have (for lack of a better word) an optimistic view of what the government can and can't do in regards to speech. Remember that a lot of the TV content from stations like Fox News are not covered by Section 230, and they're still legal. If the government had the ability to shut that misinformation down, why would those networks still be operating today? Even just regulations on how sorting algorithms work for social media are not certain to pass a Supreme Court challenge.

You link to the FCC rules on broadcasting, here's what they state:

> FCC rules specifically say that the "public harm must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or other public health and safety authorities from their duties."

Covid misinformation is obviously bad and harmful, it has obviously made the pandemic worse and people have died because of it. Covid misinformation also doesn't rise to the standard that the FCC sets above; the Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that "immediate" harm is a pretty narrow category, and that causing "direct and actual damage" is also a kind of high bar to clear. The reality is that even if the government got rid of Section 230, it couldn't ban vaccine misinformation from Facebook. At best, it could impose large liabilities that made Facebook very nervous about having unvetted speech of any kind, as well as making it dangerous for any competitors or smaller companies to try and compete without a large legal team backing them up -- in other words, exactly the chilling effects and market consequences that people warn about whenever these bills come up.
Isn't that what FedNow is trying to do?
Any system is vulnerable to exploits. One advantage to having the government run the system is they have the power of law, law enforcement, and enormous resources to stop attackers. The financial system isn't dependent on someone's technical defenses.
I can understand calling these "texts", but "books"? These remind me more of the sectioned documentation pages that one often comes across on the "document web"; e.g. https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html

To me, "book" implies constant-sized pages and content formatted such that it could be used to produce an actual hardcopy book (e.g. a PDF).

You're right re: needing a backend server, but that was kind of the point of it. You'd have to be "in the know" enough to install it and then you'd see the styling. It relied on Firebase storage for the backend piece. In the end, it was mostly for a joke in regards to ongoing discussion from an old Mule podcast. As such, it was just for fun anyways and never really intended to be more than that.
and more notably, it has more comments than points, which the HN algorithm takes as a very large "low quality" marker.
Don't underestimate the utility of being able to just take a goddamn nap when you've had shit sleep the night before rather than powering through the day trying to appear productive when you're a zombie. Most normal people have bad days when they really shouldn't be at work, its so much easier when you just aren't at work and can deal with the problem (take a nap, take a cold shower afterwards, get in a few hours of actual non-zombie productivity and call it a day). Then you're much less stressed the next day. And there's no worry about insomnia-spirals where you get so worried about being tired at work that you can't sleep.
Keeping your people happy does not only impact your productivity, but it also impacts motivation (people who love their job are more likely to try and improve beyond their job), the overall churn and, as a second-order effect, even stuff like hiring or wages.

Of course, in the end this all affects the company productivity, but it's really not as straight-forward [0] as the productivity of a single team.

[0] "straight forward" is a bit of an overstatement for measuring team productivity, but that's a different discussion.
For me both are true. The suggestions are usually annoying and wrong, however sometimes copilot makes an observation that is non-obvious, i.e it suggests code that makes me realize that I was about to write a subtle bug. I keep it on as a sanity check.
A colorimeter.

I bought a ColorMunki a few years back to correct the overly blue display on my only Razer Blade and it fixed so many issues with my photography and having color discussions with my designer--giving me the confidence to know it's not my screen that was the problem. I've since had friends borrow it and even TN panels can really use the color improvement. I've also used it to correct hotel TV color recently and you'd be amazed at how much of difference it can make. I know it's a WIP, but the color management in Wayland cannot come soon enough to me.
I'm not a psychic, but I sense your software manager career is not going very far.
Correct. Multi-point racing harnesses can only be used with a cage. The standard diagonal shoulder belt design allows your body to lean over sideways (towards the center of the car) if the roof of the vehicle caves in on your head and pushes you down. If you're in a harness without a rollcage and the roof caves in, the harness locks your spine upright and you end up with a head/neck/spine injury that's very likely to be fatal. This whole line of reasoning snowballs from there, because beyond that:

If you do install a well-designed cage just so you can safely use a harness, now you also need to wear a helmet. A cage without a helmet is begging for a bad head injury, because your head bounces around a little during an accident, and those bars are hefty, rigid, immobile objects mere inches away from your skull.

Even in a fairly low-speed incident that wouldn't cause other injuries, the bars would put a dent in your naked skull. You're also going to want a neck restraint system for that helmet (it's like a collar under the harness with little straps to the helmet, so that it can't move far), in part because of the added head weight (momentum) from the helmet and how rigidly your torso is locked in place, to prevent neck injuries.

Now that you have all those parts down: the combination of the harness locking down your torso, the neck restraint, and the limited window of visibility from the helmet means you've lost a good chunk of your peripheral vision and can't turn your head/neck to check things either. With your vision more or less locked in straight forward, you can't see all the things you really need to see to drive in normal street conditions safely. The limited vision works fine on a racetrack under racing conditions because everyone's trained the same way and operating in a sanitized environment, with no "intersections" or cross traffic, you have flag workers and/or radios to warn you of some things you can't see, etc.

The bottom line is that both street and race car safety systems are a whole complex of things that are engineered together in concert. They're well-tuned to the appropriate environment, and foolishly mixing ideas from the two generally makes you less safe, not more.

Public education is a service provided by the government. What material the government chooses to teach or not teach using parents’ is entirely up to the government and the parents. Free speech is irrelevant to curricular choices because teachers aren’t there to engage students in a marketplace of ideas. They’re being paid to provide a service. Organizations that provide content make such curation choices about what sorts of content to offer all the time.

I quite like my (short) commute. Though it's either bus, subway, or bike. It's nice to get some exposure to the city, get some bookends for the work day, and (if biking) get some exercise in.

Generally we're talking 20-30 mins though. A much longer ~hour commute or something would definitely start to wear on me I think.
Availability is poor in the US and it isn't being reviewed very well. As I recall it doesn't even let you adjust the color balance.
Because they are sheep and believe a gap actually means something.
I’m convinced that I’m weird somehow because since the start of the pandemic I have very little in person engagement with anyone outside my wife and kids… and I’m totally OK. Most people I know are either seriously bothered by lack of in person interaction or they’ve said screw it and are living a pre-pandemic life now. Like people were depressed or otherwise in bad mental places and I’ve been overall better throughout, so I sort of feel guilty.

WFH for me has been amazing, I get more personal time, more family time, less stress, less commute - feels like a total win for me. Like many corporate employees I am lamenting being forced back to a 3/2 hybrid arrangement in the near future. And like many I’m looking for a new employer.
I guess this is a good example of different people's work styles, and why it's probably important to give people the flexibility of choosing. I don't feel that type of pressure when WFH, but do when I'm in an office.

When WFH I'll often just check out for multiple hours in the middle of the day. Go on a walk, take a nap, whatever... Sometimes I'll just do more hours later that night to make up for it, or sometimes I'm just on top of everything anyway, and the break helps keep my mind fresh.

I never felt like I had the ability to do things like that when in the office
No. I'm the manager, they're the dev. If they want autonomy, become an artist.
It’s not a gray area at all. Public schools are a public service paid for by tax dollars. The government excluding certain things from the curriculum doesn’t implicate freedom of speech any more than it excluding certain bus routes implicates freedom of movement.
umm, no. just no.

fungibility means that two units are interchangeable/equivalent. Legality doesn't enter into it.

anything that makes unit A perceptibly different from unit B can cause humans to value unit A more less than B.

Some units may be perceived as "better" than average and carry a premium. Others may be perceived as "bad" or "tainted" and trade at a discount.

Such differences are generally considered undesirable in a money.
