It will depend on your company, some have defined career paths while others will have you wait for your boss to retire or hop between departments and geography (especially in sales).

As a coach, you help your employees understand their goals and then set actions to reach these goals. If they want to be CEO, maybe their next step is somewhere else and you have to choose between being the coach or the company’s management.

Go cats!
It really doesn't matter whether the driver should or should not be disengaging, there are many, many studies categorically proving that "allowing the driver to be mostly relaxed and not required, only to require immediate intervention in dangerous situations" is absolutely, empirically less safe. You can't just white wash it away by "oh well, it will get better". When? And don't mention a word about Elon's opinion on when. The guy has been promising "this year" every single year for nine years now. More realistic estimates have this a decade, or two, away, at the very earliest. And I have huge doubts that when it does, Tesla will be nowhere near it. Their phantom braking fiasco proves just how horrific Tesla's approach to testing is, throwing multiple releases out into the wild with less than 72 hours between them, for absolute safety features. Anyone who claims that those releases were subject to any form of rigor in testing whatsoever is deluded, and anyone claiming that testing it on the public roads is somehow acceptable is equally deluded.

I am very, very well aware of exactly what causes traffic fatalities. According to the software at my work, I have personally responded to 378 fatality MVAs as a paramedic. Please don't try to assume everyone is ignorant about realities - we are not blindered, and only physically capable of recognizing and responding to one danger at a time.
I use Blender for simple 3D printing stuff. There have been a few times where I found the bottom of something by simply turning on gravity.

I do hope that Blender becomes more capable in this regard though.
> banks as the only "safe" place to park money

You can park your money safely anyway, just buy a vault. There are even specialized bank accounts where they just store you money and don't lend it out.

However, you won't earn any interest, and thus will lose opportunity cost and also lose value as cash inflates.

Additionally, the money that banks lend is critical to the economy - which includes your job and the general welfare - like water to a person. If banks stop lending - if all that money gets put in a vault - businesses and citizes lose access to money to develop things and we get talented people and valuable resources sitting dormant, a depression.

Very helpful info on the low quality indicator. I would personally disagree but that’s my opinion and I can see how it would be useful running a forum like this. Any chance HN has made public any additional detail on forum behavior like that?
I'm not sure we can, or should. I imagine the future looks more like different companies/teams with different working cultures.

True "remote as an office" and "working from office" work styles are inherently incompatible. And trying to compromise will probably make everyone unhappy.
Because we work in two week sprints, what I would really enjoy is having on person demos, retros and planning on a biweekly basis while working from home the other days.
Related: can anyone on HN explain which of those (matrix, signal, telegram, whatsapp) is the "safest" in terms of privacy and the technical reasons why?
Dishwasher. Never really had one growing up, and never managed to rent an apartment with one, or one that worked. I'm now finally in a place with a working dishwasher, and it makes life so much easier. I don't feel guilty about not doing dishes immediately after using them (I only have a set for 2, so if I don't clean it immediately, I'll quickly run out of usable dishes in a day.)

Folding Shopping Carts. Literally only had a car for the past 3 years so I could go grocery shopping (Before pandemic, took train to work. Parking wasn't free.) Now that I live in a place near a grocery store, I purchased a shopping cart, and don't really need the car anymore, which I sold last year. So, I don't care about gas prices, don't have to worry about maintenance, no insurance, and most importantly, I don't have to worry about parking!

> It also means that I get to choose when I will allow myself to be interrupted, rather than sitting in an open concept office and being _continually_ interrupted.

This is extremely situational. When I was in a larger house and had no kids, WFH was an easy way to avoid interruptions.

Moving to a smaller house (more expensive city) and having kids flipped the situation around. Avoiding interruptions at home was extremely difficult because I was always only a door away from someone asking a “quick favor”.

It’s not just me: As a remote manger I can almost always tell when summer break starts for everyone’s area because there’s a stepwise decline in productive when people’s kids aren’t in school.

Likewise, the office environment makes all the difference. I’ve worked in open-office spaces where everybody respected each other and concentration was the default. I’ve also worked in private-office spaces where I could expect knocks on my door every 15 minutes or less because the culture was so bad that interrupting the engineers was the default practice.

Lately, I’ve felt that fully remote has been the worst of all worlds. Once Slack becomes the default I’m pinged from every angle all day long. It’s hard to push back against people who want answers now now now and know they can get your attention by typing the right few characters into Slack. Comes down to culture, but Slack makes it easy for people to quietly interrupt people directly whereas it was much easier to police the interruptions (as a manager) when I could literally see the offenders bothering the engineers.
Work from home for me. I moved to Singapore in 2017 and I was already 80% WFH pre-Covid. The other 20% was just because some more senior people wanted to see faces in the office and possibly justify having as large an office as we did.

Now I'm in a new company, still in Singapore but doing basically the same job. I work in retail POS professional services, and my reports and colleagues are scattered all over Asia and Australia. This is because our customers are also equally distributed, and most of our time is spent engaging customers and collaborating remotely.

My manager is in Utrecht but soon will be in Sydney. Fortunately, she doesn't care where I work as long as I get the work done. That's also my message to my reports.

It's a unique job and set of circumstances that lends itself to WFH, but it suits me perfectly. Now I can't imagine going to an office every day.

Assuming they are working class

I think the "were you fired?" and "why did you get fired?" and "Was it a violent crime you seved time for?" questions are prob the main reason why

The other 95% is probably CYA
WFH FTW!
If a company has an HR department or is a recruitment firm, they are trying to do one difficult thing: filter resumes down to a small enough number to interview.

This is hard for them because they have no idea what they're doing. The people reviewing the resumes don't have domain expertise and are often among the least-skilled people in an org.

To make this type of activity scale, they essentially have to come up with universal filters that remove human judgment from the process. This includes removing people with gaps in their resumes.

Why doesn't this change? Because normally you have enough candidates that you can remove all the people with gaps and still have too many candidates.

When there's a labor shortage, as there is now, that doesn't apply. But a lot of recruiting operations haven't adjusted for the labor pool and are just ending up with too few candidates.

The author makes the bizarre assertion that runaway trim is only caused by short circuits, and would only be continuous (not intermittent), and therefore the pilot would not recognize the MCAS runaway trim as runaway trim:

http://www.gregorytravis.com/WhyDoesNotPresent/

First off, as an engineer who often has to find and fix electrical short circuits, they'd be easy to find if they were continuous. They're frustratingly intermittent.

Secondly, I worked on the design of the 757 stab trim system. Runaway trim is the trim system coming on and trying to crash the airplane - it being intermittent is NOT part of the diagnosis. That intermittent vs continuous NEVER was part of the discussions about runaway trim. I don't know where that notion comes from. It doesn't make any sense.

Anyhow, the author certainly knows a lot about Cessnas. He stretches this into knowing about 737 systems, a much more complex airplane in its systems and aerodynamics, and he stretches it past the breaking point.
> My girlfriend is pregnant. She's from the Czech Republic. We were just in the Czech Republic for 2 months. 3 weeks for non-urgent tests? Try a day. As in phone the clinic, get a test for the NEXT day. During the Omicron wave. She had bloodwork done, an ultrasound, x-ray for a foot injury, treatment for said injury, dental work done, etc... No wait times for anything. No wait times at the clinic. No need for a primary care doctor (something which many Canadians don't have because of a shortage of doctors).

My partner had a similar experience when she went through her pregnancy during the first wave of covid (when everything was less certain). A pregnant woman is going to always have things like soft tissue ultrasounds before a guy with a light sports injury (my example of having to wait 3 weeks).

Your pregnant partner and I with a light sports injury are, in no good healthcare system, going to be given equal priority.

For an actual important scan like an X-Ray of a broken bone, it's always been immediate.

> Go to another developed country. Live for awhile. The only people who think Canada's doing OK are the ones who never left.

This is an awful assumption to make of anyone, especially anyone in a tech forum online IME. We're one of the most mobile workforces. I've absolutely lived and worked for lengthy stretches in other countries and experienced life there. I've obviously not lived everywhere but I suspect almost every country has its own pain points.

It's clear from your various posts though that you're stumping for the Czech Republic, and that's great, I'm glad you found a spot to make you happy.
> Oh goodness.

> … BLM …

Ah yes, the whatabout
I'm currently living alone, and while not currently working, the idea of working from home feels like being stuck in solitary confinement all day. I've tended to have offices I biked to, where I worked with people I liked, so I generally enjoyed going in. The separation of work from home I find really nice too. I've worked from home before, but always had roommates or a partner living with me. Of course all that being said at this point in my life the idea of being forced to be in an office Monday - Friday sounds like torture too. I guess I can't win.
Yeah, 20 seconds per day in school vs a constant bombardment of the opposite from every media and cultural institution the average young adult would ever be exposed to. It is very much out of vogue to be nationalistic.

Do we know what is next for Boeing in that same segment? Are they planning to come up with another 737 variant after the MAX, or starting from a completely different platform[1]? Did they disclose anything?

I did almost something similar. I split a pdf book into pages, one page per pdf file, named all in numbers like 01,02,03 ... etc. Then I put it in a Google drive folder, and, and a google script emailed me 2 pages every day as pdf attachments, and deleted those 2 pages from drive.
To play devil's advocate:

Won't a thousand small operators be encouraged to maximize engagement to maintain their tenuous existence, and thus keep up or even accelerate the outrage cycle? This is exactly what we've seen with a thousand small content providers; why will having a thousand aggregators fix it?

There's similar questions for privacy and security. Why would smaller operators - under less scrutiny - resist the temptation to sell or exploit detailed user data? This was the Uber model, after all: Give every employee full access to the DB until the company is big enough that anyone cares. How many small companies have terrible privacy practices that we've just never heard about?
This is true, with exception of Japanese people programming the full 7am - 10pm and pretending not working.

I like working from home.

I like living close enough to office that I can go there to meet people without advance planning.

I like the idea of having an office day once a week, but I don't like waking up early enough and completing morning routines in a hurry to actually go there that often.

So I guess it's the "daily/weekly mix" option.
Work from home with the option to meet with colleagues face to face (without obligation). I had a choice between a 100% WFH job and a semi-WFH job with more pay and I would've really liked the flexibility of 100% WFH, but with the housing market going the way it's going here I had to sacrifice that for more pay.

Given the chance, I'd go for a 100% WFH option again in the near future.

I take your point but this is more of a self discipline issue. I don’t think that the way to get things done is to be stuck in traffic so that you can’t goof off.
I don't see that as a flaw. Caveat emptor.

Also we have user-agents. Our userscripts (& amassed socialized, collective defenses they enable) should help provide us agency, to defend us against hijinx, to give us our own preferred view of systems. The web platform is uniquely able to handle these trivial little harassment cases, in ways far better than conventional software. This is just such a small-minded, speck-of-dust little concern to me, such a minor irrelevant point. Who cares how long & how stupid the thread on blink tag was, or how hyperbolic the lulz were at the time over it- this is easy to fix.

Podcasting not having a specification allows hollowed out soulless corporate ghouls to put any audio series they want online however they want & call it a podcast. Even a flawed, shitty specification at least defines some base idea, creates a general technical terrain that defines the idea. Podcasting got ripped the fuck off by monsters, because it had no specification. Technical cooperation is impossible without defined technical grounds.
> if Jefferson had his way, there wouldn't be much of a military around to plot a coup in the first place

That was the general approach of the United States until ~ the early 20th century. Before that, the 'standing' military was generally tiny, the employer of last resort (criminals, drunks, etc.), and was greatly expanded by volunteers in times of warfare.
Indeed. Unlimited remote option with no pressure to attend the office works the best for everyone. We had this already pre-Covid due to being a distributed team between two cities.
No kidding on 2005. I now only associate this magazine for mostly wannabe managers who want to read some entry-level article (likely while on an airplane), who go into their next monthly meeting spouting off what they passively read with little real understanding of the subject.
Yes. It is a relief from the times I must use the graphical browsers.

For example, I can search for and consume information much faster and more efficiently, free from distraction.

Perhaps one needs more than one client for the web. For example, I need a netcat-like program, some helper programs for working with HTTP and a text-only browser for viewing HTML. Plus a TLS proxy to deal with all the HTTPS. This is in addition to graphical, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink desktop or mobile browsers.

Perhaps a single, large, graphical browser directly or indirectly funded by advertisers is insufficient for all web use. Other clients may work better in certain situations. Certainly this is true for me. The smaller programs are faster, more robust and offer me greater flexibility.
It would be way better if I didn't have to commute 1hr. The money's way worth it and I love my bosses, but it's just the worst thing I have to complain about.

Has been smooth sailing with MBP 16” Intel (2019).

Really loving the extra real estate. Can not imagine going back to plain old 22-24” screens.

Edit: Primarily a backend+devops role. so refresh rate or pixels don't really matter. Being able to have multi tabs open on IntelliJ is real win for dev work. (Called split tab in jetbrains world)
But Python works great when called from shell! I learned Python first, then shell, so my shell scripts largely use Python instead of sed/awk (except for the most basic cases).

This includes both inline invocations like python -c, but more commonly simply a .py file in the same directory as the shell script.

So I think of shell as the main(), and then it often calls Python and R. (One big reason I started using shell was for preparing data in Python and then analyzing it in R.)

That said, I think shell needs better support for JSON and TSV so you can interoperate with languages like Python, JS, and R better. Things like the 'read' builtin aren't great for this.

SEPA payments are cleared five times a day on every business day. Payment Services Directive establishes that money must be credited to a recipient's account at the latest by the end of the next business day.

On top of that, about a quarter of all banks already support Instant SEPA, which clears immediately 24/7/365.

We went to temporary work from home at the beginning of the pandemic. Well it's been 2 years now.

I have hated every minute of it. I used to have a 15 minute commute which was a nice bit of time to get my thoughts in order. Now I roll out of bed when my alarm goes off and do daily stand-up on zoom in my home office literally 5 minutes later. My brain is literally still asleep.

I miss people, I miss spontaneous interactions, I miss interactions with people who are not in my department. With very rare exception, I have not spoken to anyone outside of my department of 15 people in 2 years. There are over a thousand people in my company.

My wife works nights and I work during the day, which is the worst of all worlds. I hear her TV shows, TikToks, etc through the walls and they really distract me. I have noise canceling headphones, they only go so far.

When I worked at the office, my brain knew it was work time and could focus. At home, my brain is like "oh you should do the dishes", "what was that loud bang, you should check the basement?". My output has completely crashed.

My friends all had kids and moved to the exurbs, so I've seen them a couple times since the whole thing started. I'm genuinely losing my mind from lack of social interaction.

I want to go back to the office so badly.
Totally just my 0.02, but this reads a little like "opting out" instead of addressing issues interacting with other humans. Like yeah, humans are sometimes great, sometimes make you feel not great, sometimes are genuinely bad. I think life is learning to address and navigate all of that.
I often feel like an overlooked part of working from home is the cost you have to take on to do so.

While I love the convenience of working from home, making an office space at home takes a huge portion of the square footage available for me. My company offers $100/mo as a stipend to work from home. This is approximately the cost of .25 square feet of real estate.

I can't afford to work from home, but I have to anyway. Most companies I know have closed down their offices. :(
But why go 9-5? Show up at 10. Take a 2hr lunch at noon, and leave at 4. Ride your bike in, chill with people you like, get some work done, don't stress yourself. Ride your bike home and crack a beer. No one is chaining you to a desk, if you're a software engineer the cards are all in your hand in this market.
