As with the bill that Rep Takano introduced in Congress, I feel like the media are not discussing this in at all a reasonable way. It is _not_ a bill to shorten the workweek. It's a bill to change the line at which employers pay overtime ... to workers who would get overtime.

In California, for employers of the size mentioned here, workers become exempt at around ~$62k/yr. The BLS has stats for California which annoyingly give the median hourly wage, and the average annual comp (~$65.5k), but not the median annual comp. But certainly large fraction of workers are above the 'exempt' line, possibly more than half.

Add to that a lot of workers are:

- working for employers smaller than 500 staff in CA

- some form of contractor

- working multiple jobs (perhaps less now than a few years ago)

What's the proportion of workers who would be impacted by this?

And how many workers are not yet exempt, but are close enough to the exempt line that employers will be better off giving them a raise to an exempt salary and then demanding more hours per week?

That's true. Honestly, it's probably almost entirely down to the fact that the openssl cli 'Swiss army knife' tool doesn't support them purposefully.

I had a CTO who would often send erratas with corrections in documentation written by and for ICs.

He would also _frequently_ request that PMs would send him draft emails before they send those to third party suppliers.

Note that all of these edits were not about content or data sensitivity or anything technical. It was purely grammar or just zero value adding re-wording.

It was definitely the shortest position in my career, i got out as quick as I gracefully could.

So yeah micro-managers do definitely exist.
But how does this change help Microsoft build a walled garden? Doesn't it do exactly the opposite, if it encourages people to download software to workaround the new bug/limitation?

It seems like the future, at least in America where land is plentiful, is multi-core metropolitan cities. With smaller cores, not so many silly skyscrapers.
Wow thank you for this, I would have never known.
As much as I hate to admit it, it is going to be a long time before we get rid of spreadsheets in de facto production use. And for that, I really would like to see one thing:

I'd like to have a separate worksheet type for "datasheets". Looks and behaves just like an ordinary worksheet, but:

- plugging in a formula applies the formula on every cell of the column. No exceptions.
- you can not have different data types in cells within one column. That is, if you have dates in a column, you can't have a string in one cell of thecolumn etc.

Yes, I know about powerthings in excel. No, I do not want to mess with those. Just normal spreadsheet formulas and sheets.

(Okay, a couple of other things: Get rid of vba and bring in the full python ecosystem instead. And if not yet available, version control. It is luckily a while I have worked with excel, so these may be outdated comments)
I have never seen this level of information warfare in my life. Both sides are pushing transparent lies and disinformation, eagerly amplified by social media accounts and big newspapers alike. I will never trust any history book ever again.

I'm not a big UFO buff but when someone told me about this incident in passing yesterday I had to examine further. I am astounded that nobody has tried to find the wreckage of this jet. They found the wreckage of the Edmund Fitzgerald with a mini sub and that was in 730 feet of water. Why hasn't someone like National Geographic or the Discovery Channel sponsored an expedition to find and film this plane's wreckage and get answers?
That’s just changing the definition of function colors. In the original definition the fundamental distinction between functions of different colors is which colors can call which other colors.

In zig async functions can call async and non-async functions, and non-async functions can call async and non-async functions. Thus, no “color” distinction.

It’s just pointless to ascribe the existing terminology of function colors while fundamentally changing the concept to something else. You end up making no point at all.
You might be right, but there was an interesting thing on BBC radio 4 s few years ago, an British architect who grew up in Lebanon explained that he thought the UK should bin it's planners completely as all that had been built post ww2 when that arm of government was created, was monstrosities or at best only allow the equivalent of music's James blunt records. Not great but at least boring and acceptible.
Are you saying these laws are common elsewhere? I don't recall any other country passing a 4 day work week law. Either way, these type of laws being uncommon in America is not a bad thing.
What do you mean by "dedicated to"? Are there streets in downtown Manhattan where cars are allowed but bikes aren't?
I have lived in a US city with pretty decent public transportation without a car for several years until recently. The problem is just complete lack of flexibility.

Want to do anything an hour out of the city - you're either begging for a ride or trying to fight the absurdities of renting a car.

I now live in a cheaper area, more outside the city where it makes even more sense to own a vehicle, and its definitely worth it. All that being said, all of the shops I most frequently patron are walkable from my home or work.
In American suburbs it's typical for there to be nothing but houses within a 3 to 5 mile area. Any supplies or groceries must be transported a significant distance in a pedestrian hostile environment.
Even framing shopping as a weekly activity is inherently car-biased.

A family of four consumes more in a week than could realistically be hand-carried in a single trip by both parents.

Better to do shorter and more frequent visits on foot or bicycle. Combined with delivery services which are much more resource efficient than private cars for this purpose.
I’ve had my taskbar on the left for the entire lifetime of windows 10. It saves me a few percent of needed scroll inputs to read code and over the years that’s a significant time saver.

“Choose” is a critical word, too. We’ve chosen it partially because some laws setup over half a century ago have a lot of inertia, and have literally made it illegal to build many of the places you’re describing.

Even when it’s not explicitly illegal, it can be stymied by people who were appointed who simply can’t imagine people wanting to live near public transit and not own a car. Just recently in Boston, a building that was 5 stories high, and a 5 minute walk to an excellent subway station, was rejected by the Zoning Board of Appeals. [1]

The arguments made included that the building was too high, and that it lacked parking. At 5 stories high, it was 1 story higher than a very nearby building, and 2 stories higher than many residences near it, which are 3 stories.

And it’s a 5 minute walk to a subway. That’s exactly the kind of place to live and not own a car. But the city zoning board didn’t think that was an acceptable way to live, and they chose not to… partially because the law gave them the ability to choose that, because not having minimum amounts of parking is illegal when building a new place to live. It’s illegal even if you live a 5 minute walk from a subway stop.

America is twice as big as Europe by area, so driving more miles on average doesn't seem surprising.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing your story. I'll keep an eye out for abuse of the kind you mention. Maybe if that seems to be an issue, I'd turn off the explicit `--port` option on the public server, which would only allow randomly assigned ports.

Why are you guys arguing about $400/hr vs $5k/hr? If someone is willing to pay her $5k/hr, all the more power to her.
Indeed, the city near me, that I used to live in, has a CBD that is dying a slow long death. The council keeps doing initiatives to try to prop it up, but at the same time keeps making it less and less car friendly, while the public transport continues to suck.

Meanwhile the large outdoor mall on the city outskirts is thriving, because of the easy parking.

It doesn't need to be much, decent size parking building with an arterial access actually in the CBD would work. Let people drive to the CBD and wonder around when they get there.
I just use my car sharing access once every four months to buy non-perishables. No big deal.
I don’t think we’re in disagreement. I’m not saying what “should be” the case. My point is that if Indians feel like the current system creates misleading expectations, that’s because the system is built on the shifting sand of administrative whims, not solid legal rights. People get a job with an American company, the lawyers handle all the paperwork, and nobody swears the details. Then when something like the pandemic happens, or someone like Trump does something capricious, they’re surprised to learn that their status is much more contingent than they thought.
> Best is if you can get a lane dedicated entirely to buses, and ticket cars that drive in it.

Counterintuitively this even is useful for people who have to go by car. A bus has a lot higher density in people transported. By making it attractive for people to use the bus they don't take away space on the road, which can increase the flow of the remaining cars, even if road space is reduced.

I wish "according to science" should automatically be replaced with "according to this one study". Seriously. it builds this image of "science" as uniform United law-making body; and then when another study comes out, people see it as "science" failing, as opposed to working as designed.

"It's official!" Prefix don't help none either...
I thought that too, but in writing that comment I realised "save" should actually be part of the filesystem.
I've lived half of my adult life in Manhattan and the other half in Silicon Valley in a suburban environment.

It's nonsensical to assume that a place like Silicon Valley could ever give up their cars and the parking necessary to go to stores restaurants etcetera. It simply cannot happen.

In New York, all of my friends lived in apartments within a quarter-mile of the subway system. If I was living on the upper west side and wanted to meet my friends in the village, a 35 to 40 minute train ride was by far the easiest way to get there. No one owned a car (many of us didn't even have licenses).

Before Uber and Lyft, we took taxis if it was the middle of the night or freezing snow; otherwise we took the subway.

In Silicon Valley towns, people live a mile or more from the city center. There is absolutely no practical way to get to shops and restaurants other than to take your car and park near the center of town. Once in a while on a whim if the weather is nice, I suppose a family a bit nearer than average to downtown might bike together to brunch on a weekend. But if you need to get a quart of milk to make coffee, or get some food for dinner, you use a car. There's no other option.

The future I see plausible would include low carbon impact cars, small electric vehicles, self- driving, like an army of Lyft and Uber at very low cost.

I think that's the best future we can hope for without a radical restructuring of Suburbia, which is simply not in the cards.
Probably because there is an upper limit to how much grocery you can haul back to your house on foot/bus. It's a completely different lifestyle.

Living in downtown Vancouver, I would go to the grocery store every 1-2 days to get food, because it was close by so there was no reason to "stock up". However growing up in the suburbs, we would go to the grocery store once a week to get all the food for the entire week.

A large scale grocery store/costco style simply doesn't make much sense as the place you go shopping every 1-2 days. So its better to put it in the suburbs and have people from downtown go out of the city every few weeks to stock up on specific items.

Excel is locale dependent in a weird way. The internal model (which includes the function names) is completely locale independent and only the UI is internationalized (according to OS locale) and localized (according to Excel language version). This is not a bad construction, but breaks down spectacularly when you start to use Excel as any kind of real programming or data analysis environment, because then you get to the cracks in the user-visible “API surface” where the internal/external format distinction is somewhat smeared.
It's funny how banning single occupancy vehicles is out of the question for being overly authoritarian (you're downvoted on HN, but I bet you'll win most actual votes in actual American cities), but designing a city center with no roads so no vehicles can use them isn't usually considered authoritarian. People have weird intuitions about rights and commons.
> Or scrolling through a long document, as the scroll wheel is designed to do?

And it does with a reasonable speed configurable by the user, which is easily mentally mapped to how much it will move since it's just a 2D surface. For example, I have mine set so each full scroll gesture (as you see in the video) is mapped to a whole screenful of movement. So I know that a complete scroll will show me all new information.

Scrolling through this path, each segment has different lengths and speeds, so you need trial and error to reach a specific point. And then sometimes it's just an animation and your scroll doesn't matter beyond initiating it. Not to mention that it's roughly 3 full scrolls to reach a new POI, the in-between is just transition.

> [...] there's stuff to see [...]

There is not [any more stuff to see thanks to the scrolling], because I can't look around, so it's just a video that wastes more GPU power.

> [...] and read!

Yes! And I skip right through some of it because when there is not a text in sight, I need to spam the wheel to get anywhere and overshoot.

> If you want to skip around, there's navigation on the right side.

True, but it's a miserable experience, since I have to hover each dot individually to know what it's about, as they don't show up on the overview map.

Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing recreation full of very interesting information, it's just presented in the most frustrating possible way to use it. Take heart to the interactive medium, give me WASD and mouse-look! (Or at least a Google Steet View like spherical navigation, since it's probably more accessible) Let me go and walk to a corner so I can look back and see the full scale of the architecture, or wander among the columns of the great halls! This is so much wasted potential just in terms of interactivity.

To add to that, we're not even talking about "intelligence" here. We are talking about a single score a preschooler (as I understand it) got on a particular assessment instrument. That's not the thing that should play a meaningful role in defining one's life.
> It’s official According to science ...

I have trouble deciding how to interpret that phrasing.

Taken at face value, it suggests the author has an implausibly bad understanding of science, logic, and thinking in general.

Given the context, I wonder if it's somehow meant in jest.
I drove through the area I'm thinking of a few weeks back. Maybe 40% of the businesses that were there before are gone, but much has happened in the past few years.

I know of 5 that definitely closed because of it, at least 8 more that were torn down (including a grocery store and a Walmart) to put up a field for a soccer team right on the line (which may or may not have been built without the light rail going in). 3 more that I can think of didn't make it to COVID, but they were probably struggling beforehand and might not have survived anyway.

YMMV.
I tend to agree with that sentiment. If most software "just worked", I would be okay with it from time to time. But it doesn't, so I am not. I feel the same with cutesy error messages. They're usually a bit condescending or infuriating when something is going wrong. I personally tend to be a bit clinical in my software development, despite the urge to be playful. I am also not a big fan of cutesy commit or issue descriptions either.
Bluetooth access requires location access as well, as it can be abused to the same end.
Not the author, but:

- Yes, this will be quickly abused now it has been made more public, unless the service at bore.pub has the shared secret set (have you tried to connect?).

- The service may currently be running on a host that has “unlimited” bandwidth as a limited speed, so there may be no extra bandwidth feeds to offset (though the bandwidth will be increasingly saturated and so progressively much slower for each active connection).

- I don't think scaling was intended, more than people would run their own version on their own service. Scaling could be achieved to an extent with a fatter bandwidth allowance (a faster rate cap, if I'm right about that being the limit not a fixed bandwidth cap). Unless the service is running on a very fast link on a very slow (or congested) CPU, bandwidth will likely be the limiting factor not anything else. If the process is large and forks for each connection then memory could be a limitation, but that could be increased easily or you could have multiple servers on the same name using a load-balancer or simple round-robin DNS.

Though I'm not sure what this offers beyond using a reverse SSH tunnel, if you have your own server/VM to host it on. Of course if you do not have your own external server but an account on someone else's which does not allow tunnels like that then this tool could be useful, but you could also get your own VM with full access for not much more than $1/month.
The nature didn't for the most part had software nor networks, and thus couldn't fully explore and utilize the alternative approach of self organization from the bottom up with closed loop feedback to achieve desired emergent properties/product/etc. There are good chances that many known human hierarchies are going the way of dinosaurs.
In my opinion it would be more logical to allow the entire task bar to shrink itself down into the Windows logo on the lefthand side like the MacOS 9 control strip. The user could then mouse over it or click it or use a certain key combination to restore it to the full screen width.

Getting rid of terrible widescreen monitors as the industry standard might also help (there are Chinese companies dabbling with 3:2 displays, so the market is there). The 16:9 aspect ratio is used purely to increase yields and decrease material costs. If Microsoft is mandating a TPM, they might as well mandate a display aspect ratio that makes their desktop UI semi-usable.
Chances are if you have an apartment in the city you buy far less food. Less room to store it and more options to eat out

There are different goals here and a different protocol. I use SSH remote port forwarding regularly for my work. It's ubiquitous, encrypted, and works in production. Bore has different goals; it strives for simplicity, ergonomics, efficiency, and correctness. Adding encryption to the tunnel is explicitly out of scope; bore only proxies raw TCP. If you want to add encryption, you would need to run it on top of bore, by setting up TLS termination on your own local web server (TLS runs on top of TCP) or using some other encrypted protocol.
Having lived in several European cities: You'll learn it by heart in about three months tops. If course it's trickier for a tourist.
Remote work is exposing a lot of foolishness in the workplace, like "busy work" and ineffective managers rather than a particular role.
I really envision a hub/spoke wheel design. Run rail as the spokes. Once you get far enough out, the gap between the lines can be managed by a circular rail line and/or a couple bus lines. I guess I don't really like busses.
I assume you mean in the physical sense?

What if you get down to the quantum level? You don't have a straight line in the Euclidean sense any longer.
I didnt get the same feeling. I saw it as another opportunity to show how much science and experts "dont understand". For instance, there is no way that any kind of C.A.T., M.R.I, E.K.G, E.E.G, LMNOP scan could show enough about it to duplicate it. Why even bother. Just try to understand how -if its important enough to you- he accomplished it. It looks like he can because he wanted to. He got fascinated by language and set himself to learn, "LEARN" as many as he could. So the attention isnt created by him. He was found out to be who he is and gained attention, possibly unwanted. So, I think that you may feel like mocking the event. I appreciate it as he doesn't seem to be a savant. Just an ordinary guy that set himself to be able to speak to whomsoever he came across. As a carpet cleaner, I bet it comes in handy.
I personally found that events showing up on the external calendar was much worse than just weird. Every job interview cycle I've gone through using Fastmail has had its own new issue.
My primary responsibilities as a manager are coaching, mentoring, hiring, firing, and solving impedance mismatches with other teams. None of that is aided by technology.
Have you ever made anything that explored "the potential of the medium" as much as this?

Yes. Does that matter? This particular work has terrible, user-hostile navigation controls, and needs to support free movement.

We could play Quake 2 in the browser several years ago, so it's not an unreasonable thing to ask for.
The traditional model of grocery shopping in Europe is daily. That's what our grandparents did - as it has been since the Romans invented the urbe and exported the concept around the continent. The famous stereotype of French people biking with their baguette under an arm, is because people did buy bread every day.

Then women started working more and more, and they had less time to shop for food, so the supermarkets happened here too - much later than in the US though, because of space and legal constraints. But there is still an attraction for the traditional way of life that keeps a significant amount of smaller and more central stores in business, keeping shopping more distributed: one day you buy fish, the next you buy meat, and everything fits in your bag.
As far as I know, SC is based on UGens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_generator), but if you want to have sample-level control you need to precompile your node. This is discussion is quite relevant:
https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/issues/685
In Glicol, you can use different node directly as UGens and you can also define your own `meta` node in real-time, one of my personal favourite feature of Glicol for live coding. Yet there are some limitations so far, as embedding Rhai.rs syntax significantly limits the audio performance. I will try to develop another meta-syntax for defining meta nodes in the future.
