Been interesting coming back to the office. The office I work in is seven floors of open office. Everyone up to and including the CEO has the same desk. A standing desk (6 feet wide, white), dual monitor arms hosting some combination of 24 inch 1080p panels, or 27 1440p panels, file cabinet (white, top made to be sat on), and chair (black, mesh back, fabric bottom). Before the pandemic you found your way around by decorations provided by the workers. "Take a left at the Darth Vader cardboard cut out, if you see the tiki hut you've gone too far".

Since coming back though all those decorations are gone. The place feels even more lifeless then before. Part of this because many people just aren't coming in, and partly because a lot of people have moved to WFH, or another company. I don't think those decorations are ever coming back, and it sure feels a lot worse.
A reviewbrah mention on hn? My joy is immeasurable and my day is made.

Honestly, gaining trust of audiences is also part of a critic. Else you're just a loud contrarian/populist.
Ukraine uses the same equipment. How can you know whether they were Russian or Ukranian tanks that were destroyed? You could also take pictures of the same destroyed tank from different angles and claim more tanks were destroyed.
Depending somewhat on the quality of the hardware in question. Hot swap capable isn't rare, but it's not going to happen at the bottom of the price continuum.
Anyone can make a camera, there are no restrictions. What is difficult are the algorithms for processing the data that comes off the sensor. The RPI foundation developed a complete solution (camera+software) and they don't want to see copycat cameras make use of their investment in image processing software.

I find this to be completely fair game.

When the Future of Work Means Always Looking for Your Next Job
Honestly, it didn't seem to be that different back then than it is now.

When I worked at smaller places, developers handled infrastructure and development. As the company grew, dedicated specialists came onboard to help.

Today, at smaller places, developers handle the cloud infrastructure, and as the company grows, they bring on dedicated specialists to help.

The biggest difference, I think, is that we have so many specialized products. We are no longer trying to figure out how to make a shoehorned relational DB scale, instead we start with a database designed for specific workloads.

I was so annoyed at all the misleading stuff in "The PGP Problem" that I did a deconstruction:

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:tpp

I actually do PGP over XMPP these days. It is so simple that it ends up being quite reliable. So I consider it the superior protocol.

>I was specifically talking about instant messengers, not email usecases.

Forward secret PGP would be simple for an online application like instant messaging. You could just throw up a new public encryption key on the server before you delete the private key.

Deltachat also embodies some of the best parts of email encryption. Open federation based on the popular and well known SMTP standard. Encryption based on the popular and well known OpenPGP standard. Contrast with what happened with the Signal encryption protocol. OMEMO, Signal Messenger, Matrix are all entirely incompatible. Things are worse off now than they were before.
> There is no other way to say this: window management is painful on macOS.

Out-of-the-box yes.

> If you open two of the same window (e.g., two Chrome windows), they appear as one in the dock. However, when you press Command (⌘)+Tab, this will only show one entry for Chrome, even though you have two windows of Chrome open.

For app switching I've set the "Move focus to next window" keyboard shortcut to Option+Tab (don't remember what the default is). This works like Cmd+Tab, except it cycles between windows of the active application (i.e. Chrome windows in the above example). It's really quick and smooth since you just move your thumb between Cmd and Option.

There is a slight difference between using Cmd+Tab though - you don't get a preview of the window you're about to switch to, so it's sometimes a bit clumsy if you have many windows open. To solve this I have three-finger swipe down set to display all windows of the focused app (called App Exposé). Don't remember whether this is default behavior. But with this you actually see all windows, which makes it even better than Cmd+Tab in this regard (which only shows icons).

The above two in combination work very well for me and window management is a breeze.

For window snapping I use BetterTouchTool[0] (paid app), but agree that if you need to get corporate IT's blessing to install apps then it's a hassle. Another app I couldn't live without: Alfred[1]. Just its clipboard history management and snippets make it awesome, but it can do so much more, like Workflows which I use a lot for various things). And iTerm2[2] is great.

So in conclusion I agree with OP - if I was forced to use a vanilla installation then I'd prefer most Linux DE's, but being able to install a couple of apps I simply love MacOS and would have a really tough time transitioning back to Linux (been a MacOS user now for almost 7 years, before that 10 years of Linux).

This article focuses on Nigeria, but this happens in the US [0] as well. This is especially cruel when you consider how many benefits are tied to work requirements. This leads to a power imbalance for employers know people will take terrible jobs, which leave them in poverty, because if they take time to get job training or even time to just find a better job, they might lose the SNAP benefits they need for their own and their children's survival, just as one example.

Perhaps they advance very, very slowly as a species, but it’s been a billion years since their technological revolution. They’re wondering how we got from AM radio to satellite communications in less than a century, and awfully worried about it.
"crazy old" likely has years and years of people documenting all the workarounds and hacks that need to be done to achieve X
while "crazy new" might not have that much cruft, but you'll be stuck trying to figure it out by pretty much alone

but of course it also depends on how clever the people beforehand have been, is it stuff tied to impossible knots that cross over 5 parallel dimensions, where nobody knows what it does or how it's doing it, just that "it somehow works, so we don't touch it, that guy was a wizard", or is it just layers of faith held together with duct tape and rope, where people tried to fix stuff over years, throwing in patches that "probably should help, I think, maybe", which could be condensed into less than a third of the size, when rewritten...
If I submitted PRs re-writing every privacy list/gist on Github. yeah you know where I'm going with that I'm sure.

Privacy Guides, is a community project, we accept community contributions, which are then verified before being merged with the main repository.

We are now looking at translation of our content https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/discussio... which is exciting because we feel there really many resources in languages other than English.
for realtime applications with multiple threads, e.g. audio DSP, how does qt handle all the complexity with async stuff and messaging between threads without locking all over the place and how does it avoid excessive dynamic memory allocations?
Or, maybe, there could be trials where we experiment and find out?

Or we could analyze past data, to see if counties where people worse masks in the lobby of restaurants had lower transmission of Covid than counties where they didn't?

If I go into a crowded restaurant and wait for 30 minutes for my table, I come within about 6 feet of about 30 people. When I sit at my table for an hour, I come within about 6 feet of about 3 people (server, and the person who brings drinks, and the person who brings food.) Especially if there are dividers between tables.

I'm not claiming wearing a mask in the lobby reduces transmission to zero. But I can easily imagine how it reduces transmission some.

And yet, others are claiming that no one could possibly imagine how wearing masks in the lobby of a restaurant could possibly reduce transmission.

You and I can talk about whether we believe wearing masks in the lobby reduces transmission.

I'm tired of people claiming there's "no scientific basis" (or something similar) for masks helping, or for there to be long-term implications of Covid, or anything else, really - especially when they're not an expert.

Not marketing, but we use it to automate some WordPress tasks.

WordPress Gravity Forms submission -> Zapier -> Airtable to assign calendar -> Zapier -> Create WordPress draft

Have someone fill out a structured Google Sheet -> upload to private Gravity Form -> Zapier to process > Create WordPress draft

I'm sure I could spend time figuring out how to do this stuff directly in WP with coding, but it is nice to connect existing things together relatively easily as a first step.
People also forget that the of the red army fighting Hitler about 4.5 million of the troops were Ukrainians fighting on the Russian side. They were supposed to be some of the best troops.
If your narrative was true, we would always see critics scores lower than the audience (assuming statistically significant number of critics reviewing a given movie). But we see so many counterexamples with radically different ratings: Spy kids, Ad Astra, Noah, King Kong (2005), Babe, The Blair Witch Project, Chicken Run, and thousands of others.
Give us this day our daily definition
This is just something you’ve made up. There’s literally no reason to think wages won’t go up, nor that they will somehow make less than they do today. Why do you think this? What source are you looking at? I cannot fathom how you would come to these conclusions without you mostly ignoring evidence (I’d be happy to be wrong).
No, you are right, at the end of the article:

>Even the term fake artists doesn’t really do justice to the scope of the situation—because, as we have seen, it’s not the musicians, real or otherwise, who are at the root of the situation, but the dominant players in the industry.

and there is another article linked to from that one:

https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/an-mbw-reader-just-bl...

where the matter is explained, point #5:

>At the end of the day, fake artists are of course real songwriters, instrumentalists and music producers with varying degrees of talent.

The "fake artists" is one of those "way off" names the media invented, these people are likely paid peanuts for their work/music/playing, their real names are not publicized and the "record label" gets the most of the streaming royalties.

It would be like you paid $10 once to someone on fiverr for - say - an Excel template , get the IP of it, attribute the creation to an invented name (belonging to your "label") then by using some clever SEO or whatever, sell it a few thousand times.

They should be called "invented name artists", there is nothing fake in them if not the names, sort of "ghost writers", possibly "ghost artists" would be suitable.

For one, because his home server provides multiple utilities, not just this one project, and without docker he starts to have dependency conflicts.

Zapier is also have trouble keeping up with the demand. Their Youtube integration hasn't worked in almost 2 months now and I think it's because Google has stopped giving them enough API quota to meet the demand. The thread has been locked since and I don't think there is any resolution coming.

You have obviously never actually tried to set up a Foucault pendulum. It is not so easy. You can't just hang a weight from a rope tied to a tree. That won't work. Also, Foucault's pendulum does not show that the earth is round, it merely shows that the earth is rotating. Flat disks can rotate.

Also, ships do not always sink below the horizon. The right atmospheric conditions can refract the light in a way that causes them to be visible at a much greater distance than the straight geometry would allow. But this explanation can be inverted to claim that it is the vanishing that is due to atmospheric effects and that the non-vanishing ship is the accurate reflection of the geometry. Falsifying that hypothesis is, again, not so easy.

I would have no idea where to start with rETL and I'm a software engineer... Search turns up some medicine and other non-related stuff.

If it's a typo, then sorry. But ETL is the same beast. I have few ideas where to start thanks to my programming background, but I can't imagine the marketing department guys do any of it.

Non-ideal but less expensive is still better than nothing (or too expensive to stay profitable). Not all operations are huge companies that can afford IT teams working on their behalf.
Of course, blame the people who had to live in the houses and modified them to be livable for not understanding the architect's vision, not the architect for designing houses people hated living in so much they felt they needed modification before living in them.

Is your goal to have a martech stack that doesn't rely on third party silos, or is your goal to have your lead-gen form populate your Airtable CRM for your new experimental acquisition campaign?

The marketer is being asked to acquire users, not make it look pretty behind the scenes. In the testing phase, it's way better to use Zapier to get things done fast. Then you can revisit and scale later with a proper solution if it turns out to be a productive campaign.
By society I meant civilizations, such as ancient Greece. I think I articulated it poorly.

I believe that good faith communication dominates in ingroup discussion. Trust matters when you discuss with peers whose approval matters to you. Bad faith communication dominates in outgroup discussion. Trust is not important as you really don't care about the "others".
Most of these comments are hinting that it's an age issue. I disagree.

Yes, the upside of what's possible has moved higher. No doubt. But the entry level has moved higher as well. Going from knowing nothing to creating an application used to be much, much easier. And that meant a wider berth of people were trying to create software. People used to create web pages or a MySpace page. No one does that anymore.

You think it's age? Ok, so... where are the hot startups? Where are the revolutionary ideas? Where are the wild, crazy new platforms and programming languages? What are people buzzing about? Exactly. Nothing.

I've been on HN from almost its inception. And I've watched it go from a hotbed of exciting topics and startups and ideas -- to an obituary page, the maintenance documentation, of what once was.

I think the mindset that explains amazon's decisions here is that their warehouse workers are only there because they haven't figured out how to automate them yet. Amazon's long term goal is to figure out how to make a robot that can grab items and put them into boxes quickly, but until then they're going to have people who they treat like robots do the work instead. One of the consequences of this mindset is they've made extremely easy to plug new hires in with minimal orientation. Everything is standardized and the computer is organizing everything, no thinking required means no training required.
That just proves that Netflix is part of the conspiracy.

I would avoid Arcadia's wind offering. They lost their certification a few years back, probably because they were buying worthless Texas RECs which cost less than $1. Last I looked they were still sourcing from Texas. They do have community solar options in some markets which appear to be what they say they are.

Many people aren't aware of it but a large part of the US population has the option to choose an alternative electricity supplier, including those that offer varying percentages of renewables. Usually it costs more but at times I've gotten lower rates. There are unscrupulous companies out there that will try to lock you into a bad contract so read any fine print closely.

I don't think you can set a page or URL on github to return a 301 moved permanently response or similar 3xx codes. This can really mess up your SEO if you have a popular page and try to move off github, you'll basically lose all the clout on the URL and have to start fresh. It might not matter for stuff you're just tossing out there but is definitely something to consider if you're putting a blog, public facing site, etc. there.

That makes some sense but I don't think Qt is just the frame. TWhy use Qt if all you need is a frame window? Maybe they are drawing the Qt widgets on a browser canvas or something.

Two more possibilities:

- A film may have been marketed as one particular type of movie via trailers (e.g. as a horror film) but was actually a different type of movie, often a subversion of the genre it was marketed as (e.g. ended up as social commentary). So audiences feel deceived and report that in their ratings.

- Similarly, there are movies that are "applause lights" where critics are obliged to give positive ratings due to the social significance of a film (e.g. made by a woman / featuring a woman in a lead role). But the movie might just not be that good, and audiences report this in their ratings.

Specifically, the township would put a property tax lien on your property. Eventually, the liens would pile up and your property would have so many liens you'd have no value left in your house. Then the township would take you to court to enforce their right to collect the judgements. At that point, you'd most likely be forced to move out. The township would sell your home to recover the tax liens and judgements. A sheriff would forcibly remove you from your home in such cases.

Presumably, you could buy another home in the same township, and go thru all the above processes again. OR you could choose one of the original options given by a parent post:

1. Go to town hall and influence decisions

2. Exit township, find one that you agree with

3. Bear with it and stay in the township.
