Is that all he has to say? That reads like a cover sheet.

There's been considerable progress in programming languages and tools. It's now possible to write very large programs with extensive concurrency without having them crash frequently.

There's been progress in project organization tools. There's Github, and Slack, and Stack Overflow. It's now possible for a large number of people to collaborate on something and still get it to work.

That's pretty good, actually.

I know of one tenured professor in a pretty big East Coast college who spends his time finding graduate students about to launch a start-up, and then demands 20% equity or threatens said students for working on commercial projects on college time. Guy is easily a multi millionaire through this alone right now.
I assume they will use a GAN to evade Google's policy.
Respectfully, this seems like a completely backward take.

If you don't care about whether or not government should be able to do things, and are only concerned with whether or not it does things you like, you end up with a government that can do whatever it wants. Eventually, that power will be wielded by someone you find detestable, or even worse, someone who finds you detestable.
I love both spreadsheets and Python/Jupyter. But neither is Excel the silver bullet? The reason the error is caught (and the real lesson) is more because he tried to reproduce his work as opposed to a particular technology stack.
Barely. The humans certainly would not survive in the current numbers/concentrations, without all the civilization around them.
AFAIK it’s not that hard if you find a relative to move into that apartment. But finding that relative may be hard…
The regulation gives absolutely insane incentives. In my case (old contract in hip mitte area), it was easier to keep it and for my gf to rent another apartment on the outskirt where her work is as she can deduct the full rent from tax. Effective price for renting two apartments is lower than one in between the center and suburb.

What convinced you?
What you're referencing is not a law it's a referendum that most likely will never be adopted as it's illegal. On top of that, how does that referendum affect your friends unless they run a giant business with thousands of apartments (to be exact 3000 or more)? And at that scale it's certainly cheaper to fight in court.

Kind of hilarious for Amazon to complain about fairness, given their past behavior.

They were both neoliberals who pushed deregulation. And both were union-busters. Carter was the beginning of that trend, in fact, putting an end to FDR's legacy. Reagan just did it more palatably, with a smile and a joke.
What meaning of the word are you looking at? Institutional power is not necessary to be an oligarch, and in fact most oligarchs are as powerful as they are because they are not subject to institutional constraints or electoral/democratic pressure, but can still exert outsize influence as if they were directly elected.

"Oligarchy is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control."

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy

The US very much has an oligarch problem, the main difference between our oligarchs and Russia's is that Russia's oligarchy must appease only one man for its power, whereas the American oligarchy is more distributed and decentralized, so in that sense one could argue that it's more democratic. However, I think corruption is still corruption, and that we shouldn't have double standards depending on which country we're looking at. Check out this study that shows that policies really don't change very much no matter who's in power, showing the illusion of choice that comes from this corruption:

"We show that the average correlation between the party composition of government and policy outputs is not significantly different from zero."

- https://thomasprosser.substack.com/p/the-biggest-secret-in-p...

Sure, there is distinction in terms of social issues between democrats and republicans (such as choosing whether to dehumanize trans people or not), but on many core issues (imperialism, tax fairness, maintaining our campaign finance system that's based on graft) there is tacit agreement, despite solid majorities of voters across ideological lines wanting these things changed. Democrat and Republican voters are very much in agreement on our country being corrupt, but usually just differ on who to blame and who they think will help. This double standard on domestic versus foreign corruption also prevents them from seeing the problem more clearly and keeps people in partisan bubbles.

That being said, I agree with you that Congress' approach to dealing with this corruption is really just berating oligarchs in public hearings for PR value, versus doing anything to actually curb their power and make our institutions less vulnerable to corruption. That's because they are on the take from a variety of different oligarchs via campaign contributions (so they can berate one oligarch in public but then maintain their relationships with other oligarchs), so they have no incentive to reform the system.
Amen. I'm in my late 20s and I feel that. In college I used to be a bulldozer, and now I really feel the consequences of not eating healthy, sleeping well, drinking too much, etc right away. Have you found anything to make your sleep more restorative? It seems like as we age getting a good night sleep becomes harder.
Yes, they needed to be RAs or TAs (including hourly appointments or fellowship appointments accompanied by a partial RA/TA appointment).

https://mitgsu.org/updates/we-have-an-election-date-vote-yes...

Note that for instance if you're there with a fellowship and aren't getting a partial RA/TA assignment as well then you're not eligible. I know that some masters students pay for their tuition, so they might not be eligible either since they're not getting a stipend.
> Government should provide apartments, free, in the center of the city, for anyone who needs one.

During COVID lockdowns I watched lots of international TV drama series on Netflix.

One of those "random things I learnt on Netflix" was that they (sort of) offer this in the UAE if you've lived & worked there for 10+ years.[1]

Its basically means-tested housing. So they offer anything from interest-free 25 year loans to fully subsidised housing.

True on both.
I've seen several cases here where going from 40 to 32 hours to have time for kids (very very common in NL) has kept the same or better productivity.

Of course those were all desk jobs, where it's not about exactly how many hours you're typing code or writing ideas but about the output. I expect it to be less applicable for assembly line kind of work.
Pacific Wrecks
And it's not possible for everyone. When I had young kids, I could never put my mind back in that "I'm a kid again" mode and play their games. I tried, but it just was not there anymore. My wife could do it. My parents thought she was slightly silly, so maybe it's something I learned from them.
Great, still everything here (most of eu), which was a thick forest, is now a desert or has a bunch of little trees. How to interpret that?

> Then it would be 3 days. Then, when work is the thing you spend the minority of your time on, you start to ask yourself "why am I doing this at all?"

I think you hit the nail right on the head there my guy.

Also once the agricultural revolution happened peasants likely had much more unallocated than the typical office worker in the united states, probably by at least an order of magnitude. I'm not claiming it was a better life but there was a greater amount of self determination which is absolutely something we should strive toward.

Yup, I totally did. Oops.
Also, being a middle manager isn't much fun either. Basically all meetings and bullshit, and you get shit from people below you and above you. Upper management blames you for anything going wrong and workers blame you for, well, everything. You need to motivate, teach and provide resources while dealing with all the bullshit from above and a lack of resources.

But as you pointed out, it's necessary otherwise everyone has to deal with the bullshit.
MacOS doesn’t have a taskbar, but it does have a dock that you can place on the left, right, or bottom edge of the screen. It has been an option since the beginning of OS X I believe.
"Your argument"? I put it in quotes to indicate it's the attitude I'm explaining rather than a belief I'm putting forward.

> Pretty much all norms like this are culturally determined with just-as-strong-arguments being available for doing it some other way

My argument is that social signals of respect aren't inherent or reasoned from first principles but reflect shared narratives and power dynamics. If you are trying to determine One Right Logical Way To Do Things, you're misunderstanding the fundamentals of how social norms work.
Not working too hard and certainly not being exhausted by work at the end of the day everyday, through the year. That’s what I do. It seems like your job isn’t the right one for you. I’d suggest changing that to something less demanding. You only get 24 hours a day and a specific range of energy expenditure (physical, mental and emotional) to play with. Trying to do a lot with life and “work/life balance” doesn’t work. Something’s gotta give.

Once you find a different job, you could focus on cultivating and nurturing (note the words used) a routine before work, during work, and after work. If there aren’t clear boundaries, the cycle of being exhausted will continue. The routine could be showers, cooking, cycling, working out at home, running, yoga, meditation or activities you do with others or anything else.

I know I speak from different circumstances, and it may not be possible for you to change your job. If that’s true, then you need to reconcile yourself to this life. Don’t get swayed away by pretty pictures of people who “have it all”. It’s all a mirage that hides the ugly parts in public.
Thought experiment: say to the songwriters accusing Ed Sheeran: we are going to use software to evaluate all the songs you wrote against all other songs in existence. If we find at least one overlap, of any of your songs with any other song in existence that was released before, of the same or longer length as claimed plagiarism, you are getting sued.

I wonder if this would change their attitude to the problem.
Ugh... I get that the purpose of the video is to stylistically look cool and not to convey information, but only half way through and my head hurts and I think I have motion sickness from all the spinning, tilting, speeding up, slowing down and rapid cuts.

Let me quote the whole part:

> But it's also important to not project your own previous potentially ego-driven activities towards everyone else in the world. Yes, I'm sure there are other people that had the same insecurities/ego, but it definitely doesn't mean everyone who ever blogs is like that.

Please enlighten me how this is "kind". I would love to know how you rationalize/explain this. And I mean it. I get up every day to learn something. So maybe there is an opportunity for me here.

As I already said, your mileage may vary, but I yet fail to see the kindness in these words.

You quoted the original author. I need to split it in two to better explain my thoughts:

> I think it boiled down to a realization that no one really gave a damn about me, my writing/work/creations/etc.

That is a realization. Fair if one looks at the grand scheme of things.

So then, what's the point? Is it entirely ego driven? Chasing dopamine hits when your post or your project is tweeted about?

These are as much rhetoric questions as questions towards us as the audience imho. So I didn't read it as statement about OP themselves.

But if I see this as a rhetoric figure, how can I use this as argument to say OP had "potentially ego-driven activities"?

To me this was using rhetoric figures against OP to construct an "argument".

Especially the additional comment from the commenter as answer on the original comment I replied to:

> Oh and, dear OP, if you're comfortable with personal growth, it may be helpful to realize that, our frustrations often stem from our disappointments, that our feelings of anger are often a protection from more vulnerable feelings like sadness.

To me that sounded awfully condescending. How was that not projecting onto OP?

If I want to be seen talking down onto someone, I would talk/write that way.

Would, as said, love to know your thoughts.
Are you insane? Then what, abolish poverty, stop human exploitation, and maintain the ecosystem that allows our species to survive? You dangerous revolutionary.
You clearly have an opinion. Are you saying I should not? I don't follow.

Forcing a change in language towards social agreeableness while using a lens of "there is only power" will have bad consequences.
The question, though, is: why doesn't this converge to a single monopolist agency, like in the rest of capitalism?
> Tenured professors still have a job to do and they still have a boss (lots of bosses, as I said)

We are apparently talking about very different kinds of professors at very different kinds of institutions.

Unless he were to actually commit a crime, I don't think there is anything my ex-boss could have possibly done which could have ended up with him being removed from his post. He was simply too important to the institution in terms of his reputation and his ability to attract external funding.

How he treated his students was really neither here nor there, as long as the money and the citations kept rolling in.
I guess we should just dismiss it based on that it comes from right-leaning people, rather than evaluate it on its merits.
Very cool.

I created some logarithmic sliders for an electronics app I put out on the App Store some time ago. I thought they were a good match for electronics (Ohm's law specifically) because electronics generally is logarithmic (resistors, etc. follow such a progression).

A strange coincidence too that this site should pop up on HN because I have been this past week or so working on a Javascript implementation of a logarithmic slider so I can try a similar Ohm's Law calculator on the web.

I think the web needs more logarithmic input controls. Don't you?

I think the significant difference between mine and this site's is that mine you can specify the value to display and the slider moves there — further, when the user moves the slider manually you can query the slider to find out what value is under the cursor.

I'll have to dig into this site to see how to make my sliders look nice.

They may have worked every day, but not all day, and not through every season. Yes farming is hard work, but you don't work from 6-6 every day.

Also your slippery slope argument is silly.

If I am (for example) running an OpenBSD firewall or OpenBSD BGP router then there's nothing to forget. It really is as simple as I said it was.

The "forgive me if I forget" was because I wrote my answer from memory instead of looking at my actual script.

There really is absolutely zero need for NSH or any tool like it on OpenBSD if you're just running a router/firewall.
It's hard to imagine creative people gathered around a computer waiting for it to judge their newest creation as sufficiently original or not. I imagine the scene would make a great intro for a dystopian sci-fi novel.
> Consider that people used to work every day. Farming, hunting, subsisting.

I would be surprised if individuals in a hunter/gatherer tribe used to work more than 8 hours every single day.

Most people also used to be in survival mode for their entire lives. That shouldn't be what we are aiming for today.
There is also an excessive number of middle management, even if all of the were competent.

Technology has made it possible to be a more effective manager and leader.
Yeah, I've limited my caffeine consumption to only in the morning. I really envy friends who have the same type of demanding jobs and still have energy left for other things. They're probably genetically blissed and have more stamina.
I have had the same experience picking up cycling during the pandemic - work is the last thing on my mind while pushing hard up a steep hill. Cycling comes with occasional injuries too, but is certainly less impactful than other forms of exercise. It's always encouraging to see (and often, be passed by) a much older cyclist, shows that this is a hobby that can be enjoyed for a large part of your life!
- they typically have studied computer science which teaches you a lot of math, algorithms, formal methods, and other typical beta skills but is perhaps a bit light on the type of stuff a sociologist or anthropologist would learn. That's a problem because a lot of software engineering involves the behavior of people in groups and coordinating that behavior to produce software. Studying that behavior to verify theories you might have about how software engineering works or ought to work requires an empirical approach. That's not something a lot of computer scientists learn how to do.

One thing that particularly scratches me lately is the popularity of Actor-Network-Theory in some of the humanities: It is a theory that might benefit quite a lot from CS/Maths input, and I think it could maybe be applied quite well in SWE theory as well.

I have no idea if it is actually the case, but one thing I'm quite sure of at this point is that humanities need more formal systems, and SWE research needs to look more towards the humanities and social sciences in terms of frameworks to explain human and machine interaction.
This bill affects only hourly workers, which means that Walmarts and other companies will just cut their work week and pay employees less. They are not going to pay them overtime if they work more. And poor people will need to find an extra job to keep up with bills.

The only poeple who might benefit are hourly gov employees - but that depends on budget constrains.

"If anything, middle managers are more important than that were before. I’m sure upper management will just see them as a cost-cutting measure though and write specious articles like this to justify their idiocy. "

I only disagree about one thing in that sentence. It is missing one qualifier. 'Good middle managers are more important than there were'.
It's sort of a meaningless comparison though. A huge amount of self-selection goes on before an application to an elite university is even filled out.

Maybe if you were a mid-19th Century German composer it worked something like that. But that's just not how most songwriting works.

E.g., according to Mark Ronson:

1. Amy Winehouse casually spoke the following sentence in a conversation with Mark Ronson: "They tried to make me go to Rehab
but I said, 'No, no, no.'"

2. Mark Ronson said, "That could be a song."

3. They went to the studio where Amy Winehouse played a 12-bar blues chord progression on the guitar and sang those lyrics (using a simple pentatonic scale).

4. Mark suggested to speed it up and do a throwback Motown-era arrangement.

5. Done.

Unless they recorded their entire conversation, all you'd get is Winehouse sitting down with a guitar and singing the entire hook of the song.

If anything, anxiety-fueled "song formation" recordings will just cause songwriters to waste time going in the wrong direction. That is, they'll take their ready-to-go phrases or sub-phrases of music and sing fragments into the mic, in an order that seems as if they are constructing what they already have formed in their ear.

I didn't have an easy solution to grab that JSON variable directly by scraping HTML. So I chose Puppeteer because it simulates the browser (yes, chrome) and therefore I could just get the JSON object with a bunch of lines as if I was using the browser's console. It's slow, but I think it's the most straightforward way to do it. But if you could elaborate more on your approach I will definitely try that out!
