I don't think the person you're replying to assumed anything about preferences - people can still prefer to work from the office, and still not have working from the office generate >10% boost in productivity...
I think many of us see how various managers are pushing people to get back to the office, but I'm not sure the impact is really there. I suspect there are a lot of people who are far more effective at home than in the office, but it's my personal opinion sadly.
Some people play that way, yes. I personally play where I sync myself to the actual music as best as possible. So I have to hear both the music and my controller sounds. I don't know if I'd consider myself a pro player (although I'm a prominent GH2/Rock Band modder) but I'm much better than the average player, when you take into account all players and not just GH community members.
> In Europe there are not many "remote friendly" companies

This is not true. There are many such opportunities if you ask, especially now.

> it's not that you will get a 20% pay rise every time you switch

If you work in IT (generous, but it is HN...), this should be your experience unless you switch more than once every two years. Then everyone will mistrust you, but you can still do it as a contractor.

> On top, it is extremely hard to find software development jobs that pay around or above 100K. Most jobs are around 60-80K.

Making around or above 100K in the EU is indeed very unusual. Of course, such numbers mostly make sense in the US because it is (socially, in terms of security) a desert hellscape. The lower top salary in the EU comes with the benefit of knowing that if you go blind you won't have to die shitting yourself in some crackhouse.
This is great. As an avid traveller, I've always wanted to make an app/site that showed off where I've been and shared stories/photos from those places. I think people who are in to travel love to brag about the places they've been. Instagram is kind of that today, but you have to piece together all the data yourself.

This is a tough stance for me to get on board with. You're not wrong to value SPAs for this reason, but I don't think picking the wrong architecture on purpose is defensible either.
All the sibling comments are better guesses, but I would also guess there could be security implications on exposing lower level access. Having it all proprietary and undocumented is itself a way of making it harder to exploit. Albeit, as mentioned, not having to settle ABI is way more likely the primary reason.

I really recommend "Oxford English: a guide to the language" by Ian Dear. It is/was published by Oxford University Press but if you look around on eBay, Abebooks, amazon secondhand etc., you can often find a very cheap "IBM Edition" -- they co-published it along with a dictionary of quotations (presumably they helped compile the latter).

It's a really fantastic volume that goes into such detail about Indian Standard English, for example, that it will make you love English even more.
Exactly. I was once tasked with replacing a piece of software. Enterprise software is such a mess, but I had 4 vendors before the downselect, and one was clearly the optimal choice both for price and performance. Presented it to upper mgmt and was asked to keep researching the options. Did this dog and pony show for another month until one of the sales engineers for the #1 vendor mentioned that my executive had a previous relationship (at another company) with the sales exec. A bad relationship. So my exec was never going to sign off on a sale that would benefit the sales exec, but he didn't want to come out and tell me outright. He simply wanted me to read between the lines and skew the evaluation in favor of the other candidates.

The "Schmoozer" class is full of this type of crap. I'm convinced that outside of a few unicorn companies, meritocracy is an illusion.
Well yes you wouldn't expect anything to be proven at this point. There is only a complaint. We are discussing the reasonableness/plausibility of the allegation. All I'm saying is that to me it seems plausible.

If you're vaguely positive about renewables, then graphs of solar/wind output and an understanding of how exponential growth works is cheering.

Often solar and wind changes get lost in the hydro which is big, but fairly static, while solar and wind are growing rapidly from a very small base recently. Thinking about it terms of doublings is a key mental shift.
Ok, I admit that may have been a little bit of hyperbole. But I expect in such a scenario some (very expensive, wide reaching) mitigations might be put in place such as banning the relevant types of plastic and introducing some kind of specially targeted filtering/treatment in fresh water supplies in areas where that's logistically/politically possible (assuming an effective system for it can be found).

I did something similar with mushrooms some 15 years ago. Laid in the bed, run some nice shamanic music on endless loop, crawled under blanket, closed my eyes and experienced completely out-of-world experience, dissolving into mist of atoms, swirling in the music, and at the end re-composing myself and my senses atom by atom.

At the very end it was even spiritual, which is funny since I am say agnostic and didn't have any form of religious upbringing. This experience didn't change that, in fact it reinforced my opinion on religions and religious matters.

I know its a different type of drug and effect, but I think generally drugs give more inner insight when taken alone (or controlled uninterrupted env which crowd of people is definitely not).

I don't know what the status is now, but back when I was working for IBM, their Bluemix offering demonstrated a complete lack of commitment to operational excellence with seemingly routine downtime, with an undercurrent of "It's 1700, time to sod off for the day" regardless of the state of their service.

It also didn't help that they seemed intent on paying 35+% less than other competing tech companies.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but there's a difference between drugs that make you feel good by forcibly triggering your brain's happy paths for a few hours (often followed by severe depression of those paths), and therapies that try to jolt your brain into producing more happy-path-inducing chemicals naturally, without further assistance.

I feel that a large fraction of the complexity of C++ comes from the imperative to abstract away the 'pointerliness' of pointers. If I have understood the article correctly, it is an example of abstraction by anti-unification (over pointer and value-semantic variables), and it works very well in the Standard Library.

In this view, there is something ironic about how many of the complexities of the language came about to enable the abstractions of the Standard Library, which greatly simplify writing applications in the language!

As a Canadian I don't have a choice for most of the winter. The cold will creep in and start causing problems if I leave it unheated at -20 (C or F, take your pick) for 10 hours. I certainly reduce the heat, but I can't turn it off.
I assume it happened while the UK was in the EU. You can verify a passport electronically via the identifiers via the EU border control network, AFAIK.

The difference is crypto(graphy) is "old" and established, while crypto(currencies) and blockchain are new and trendy. It's like what happened with the JS frameworks, which have stabilized now a bit. Everyone wanted to create a new amazing project, everyone was lured into using X or Y framework because Z. But not many know a lot about them. Same with crypto, people see it's trendy and go in even if they lack all the technical knowledge around it. Thus, scams and hacks are everywhere.

“There’s no functional purpose for wearing a watch anymore.”

This could not be further from the truth. If anything, the advent of tech watches has made it even more clear to me how valuable a watch that runs forever and never needs to be removed is. To have certainty that 24/7/365, I can look down and immediately know what time it is has been tremendously helpful, and the design of that watch is incredibly important to that end.

I wear a dive watch with a nato strap, because it’s light, durable, and comfortable enough to have completely disappeared years ago. It never comes off.

I disagree with most of this video. He uses incredibly minimalist high heels as an example of counter-minimalism, presumably asserting that they should be flats, which ignores the entire purpose of heels. Heels are a tool used to achieve a certain posture, appearance, and an associated response. They’re designed to do a job, as are the basketball shoes he keeps showing, which are functionally reinforced in certain areas, but otherwise fairly minimalist too.
Why was the ranking demoted over 100 spots in less than 5 minutes?
Not necessarily. The way you sit at a drum kit, angle your arms and even hold the drumsticks differ on real kits than they do on the Guitar Hero kit. The technique matters a lot because you use the flex in the drum skins to help with your movements and thus allow for tighter patterns and reduce the risk of RSI. This same technique isn't transferable to Guitar Hero and nor would playing Guitar Hero make you a competent drummer (due to teaching the wrong technique).
Can someone elaborate on how they use reg ex as a productivity boost?

Do you use it for text transformation? How do you use it exactly? Do you use it as code itself or as a tool to help you explore/write code?

I am a huge fan of Macros, I 100% understand their role in text transformation, but what problem does regex solve? I spend so much time trying to remember the correct syntax, it only ever works for me when solving a specific code problem, but Ive never used it in one-off workflow problems.

Curious if I have missed some huge place where it is helpful.

If you have systems exporting metrics in Prometheus style, then you can use Prometheus to scrape them and remote-write to Mimir.

You can alternately use Prometheus Agent, to save storing the data and running a query engine at the leaf.

You can also use the OpenTelemetry suite to perform the same operation, though this is more appealing if you want some other OpenTelemetry features at the same time. Eg if you prefer the ‘pipeline’ style.
Given Victoria Metrics is the only solution I've seen to make data comparing it to other systems easily accessible as part of official documentation, it's the only one I pay attention to.

I knew from reading the docs what VM excelled at and areas it was weak in, long before I ever ran it (and expectations from running it matched the documentation). I hate aspirational marketing-saturated campaigns for deep tech projects where standards should obviously be higher, it speaks more about intended audience than it does the solution, and that's why in this respect VM is automatically a cut above the rest.
Until before the second to last paragraph, I'm fully with you on this idea.
Especially when using the bike it's very frustrating that there is no (ideally low-friction) way to report people parking on bike lanes.

But I think that something like the 30% kick-back will result in a massive increase of people who will somehow construct issues artificially, just to make more money. IMHO it should be plenty to just provide a simple way to report actual annoyances.

autotools works well if you are building on and for a standard linux system. However if you are building on bsd it might not work (often assumes make is gnu make). If you are cross compiling it won't work (I cross compile a lot of code, the odds that an autotools build works out of the box is almost zero). It probably won't work on windows either, though I have less experience there.
I think it's backwards: people find meaning in their jobs because it's their only activity (or is largely their main one) .

To let it go for good we'd need people to make themselves entertain in different activities other than working.

But mostly it's because (I think) it's activities they enjoy doing and actually have meaning in the real World, even if on a much smaller scale than the global one.

Same thing here. My own scripts to configure a new Arch install automatically. Much quicker to install with the few things I want to install, than installing Ubuntu (for example) which bundles everything in, and more. It also does exactly what I script it do, so my scripts install specific versions of software whose version really matters. No surprises.

My custom Emacs configuration build? Automated my own way. My AwesomeWM configuration? Automated my own way.

I'm so glad I took the time to learn to do stuff manually, so I could tell them specifically how I want them done automatically. And it should last me quite a while.
It's painful at first, learning something while doing it, because it breaks your flow, it's like constantly being interrupted.

WFH is also doing an amazing job to help people who would otherwise be marginalized.

After going through the contents of https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh it seems to want to overwrite my docker daemon.json, then sets up a UUID for telemetry.

After launch I was then greeted with a login/registration page. Seems kind of backwards to require this when you are targeting the self-host crowd. Too much friction to try this out.
> [...] part of the cause of obesity epidemic.

The (US) obesity epidemic comes from a food landscape obsessed with sugar. Most things you will find in supermarkets and restaurants are just significantly more calorically dense than it needs to be. That's your cause. The epidemic comes from eating too much.

Pointing fingers at other things might be useful, after the biggest issue is tackled.

Also, there is no reason for the operating system UI to ever be stuck. If the program fails to redraw, show it blank, but don't prevent me from moving/sizing it. Even if the CPU is at 100%, I want my commands to get 1st priority. Too many times I had to spam Ctrl+alt+del just waiting for something to respond.
I work from home since 2006. I feel that my capacity to maintain or even expand my professional network is very limited. I remember my 13 years of work before 2006 and they were very intensive in terms of social interactions, meaning, happy hours, in-office birthday parties, visits to clients' sharing the same taxi leaving from the office, meetings, both formal and informal ones at the water cooler, or at the printing bay. WFH is nice. I saw my two kids being borne and stayed with them for many years afterwards. It was priceless(tm). But I think my networking and, in some way, my employability were affected.
In the discussion of the last article, there was a discussion about weaponizing "associated accounts" when Google shuts things down.

Many companies have difficulty assessing performance, so whenever they get the opportunity to safely fire people who have transgressed in some fashion they do so. My company had famously never performed layoffs. We've been in business since the 19th Century. But eventually all good things must end, and during the 2008 crisis, some newer mgmt found an opportunity to fire people who didn't play their game. We only laid off 30 people, but it was a huge shock to the company culture, and made people re-evaluate what they thought the social contract was about.

eh, I only brought it up because SQL is a funny beast. You have to think like the optimizer in some cases. I recently found a report query that was taking >90 seconds to execute. It was looking at something like 2 billion records, but it shouldn't have taken that long. It really tangled my mind. Each of the records had a `start` and `end` timestamp, and were being collated in a join on a separate key and sorted by MAX(`end`). So there's a joint key on the table that is start+end, but not a separate key for each. I figured out the query could be speeded up by about 80% if I added a parameter for `start`, a meaningless WHERE `start`>0 even though I didn't need one. Basically any start would be OK, I just had to have it there because even forcing key on the start/end index didn't kick the optimizer into realizing it needed to search that as a hash space. I don't know. It was a feeling. This is just in the vein of someone asking, "what is jujitsu to you?" But no, don't learn it if you don't need it.
Also relevant was the UK art school system, which up until the 80s or so was a practical career path for creative working class kids.

There was also the dole (unemployment benefit) system which provided just enough cash to allow bands and musicians to start a career without being forced into a full-time job.

A ridiculous number of high profile UK musicians from the 60s and 70s came through art school or adjacent courses like architecture, not music college.
