How to Walk (12 miles a day)
We swap jobs all the time and there is no expectation of permanence; not a very good analogy.
Here are some tips I would give, as an individual contributor:

* Minimize the number of simultaneous projects. Having more on your plate than you can imagine getting done is a huge cause of stress and burnout.

* Avoid switching priorities frequently. Shield the team from too many external requests.

* Avoid making "small" requests (e.g. a random data pull). Handling your request is probably not as small an amount of work as you think. This is especially a problem when for people with a lot of meetings - they may not have that many hours left in the day for their "real" work, and your "small" request might take up all those hours for today (which is really stressful when you badly needed those hours for something else!).

* Avoid interrupting developers / making them feel like you could demand something at any time.

* Clarify priorities, and don't bug people about lower priority things.

* Don't schedule too many meetings. Developers work on a Maker's schedule, and ideally would have at least half of each day completely free of meetings. Meetings are more draining for ICs than they are for you.

* Don't argue with time estimates given by developers. (Though looking for ways to reduce the scope of a project is valid)

* Give developers time to pay down tech debt.

* Listen to and act on issues people raise.

* Let people know what is going to happen well in advance. Give people time to gear up for changes. Don't make people feel like things could suddenly change at any time with no warning.
It's ECH now, Chromium/Google are actively working in it. So soon™

In addition to that we need ODoH and NTS as well. It's pretty clear neither countries or ISPs (not to mention attackers) can keep their grubby fingers out of anything unencrypted. MITM should be visible or impossible.
This is not true. On prem is extremely common for things like this because after ~6 months you'll have paid more in cloud costs than it would have cost to purchase the GPUs. And you don't need to purchase new GPUs every 6 months.

AWS would cost $50-100k/mo for something comparable.
It used to commonly be that in the US before those Razor push scooters, and then electric scooters, became a thing.
Blender seems to be the best long term solution in that it's got good bones and a great license. It got me back into video editing after I moved all of my machines to Linux ages ago. The ability to do basically anything inside of the program with python is superb.
I agree with you that I probably wouldn't want to pay to repair an inexpensive item of clothing, but I can't articulate why. If an item is poorly made, it may not be worth repairing, but price doesn't always correlate to quality.

I've been thinking about this lately with a wristwatch. I have a 10 year old Seiko mechanical watch that cost me $50. To get it serviced will cost more than I paid for the watch, however there's nothing about the watch that makes it less worthy of servicing than a watch that would have cost 10 or 100x more.
That’s the rub, isn’t it? So many people are focused on every other moment besides “now”. Memories build from our past, and they’re constantly appearing in our minds based on various stimuli. Moreover, society is structured in such a way that people are constantly focused on the future. It’s very difficult to actively live “in the now” and focus on the actual experience of simply existing.

That’s really the biggest tragedy of modern human existence, many people never get to see the true beauty of living in the now, they only get to see it from the “bad” perspective, when their negative emotions become overwhelming and time seems to slow down to a standstill.

Normalize living in the now. Normalize the idea that our “purpose” on this Earth is simply to exist, and that “purpose” can be the most important of all possible purposes.

To quote the ever-wise Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
> I wonder where the biggest opportunities are to get people reusing and repairing their things rather than buying new ones.

Back in the day you repaired things because a really well made thing would last a lifetime with proper care. But Amazon and Walmart made it their mission to get people to keep buying clothes, so now clothes are cheaper and more disposable.

I think the best thing we could do is encourage people to buy fewer things that are better quality. Maybe encourage manufacturers to have a warranty program that works with independent repair shops. You spend more with the intention of keeping it longer, and can get it repaired if needed.
> That's not the important question.

This debate hinges entirely on a disagreement over which moral question is the most important.
It certainly seems like it to me.
I honestly believe that removing Typescript/JS would actually benefit the software engineering quality in the company, to me it's there just because the pool of people is large. I would prefer quality over quantity, but I'm not a manager ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not everybody experiencing burnout has CFS/ME but enough do that it’s worth pointing out every time there is a burnout discussion. I thought I simply kept burning out through overwork for about 10 years before discovering that I actually had CFS and I’m assuming I’m not the only one. I was highly resistant to the idea of having it as I did not identify with the disability and thought CFS people were just lazy. Had I known I would have treated it better sooner.
Most of what you've described here is about politics and finance, not economics. Econ has pretty much nothing to do with sitting on a board or high-frequency trading.

HN is full of users who don't know what econ is but want to explain how wrong it is to one another. It's like a parody of itself.
Even if it's true that in-person developers are more productive, you also have to account for the preference of developers. If developers prefer to work remotely, then the average in-person developer is probably likely to be worse than the average remote developer (since skilled developers will have an easier time to find the more attractive remote positions).

And as we all know, the difference between a skilled developer and a bad one is quite massive.
>the fact is that privacy tools of this nature are explicitly relying on having enough volume of criminals and other illicit users to provide cover for you

No, that's not how this works. You don't need criminal activity to provide you with anonymity. You just need ANY other activity in order to get lost in the crowd[1].

Your flawed view is that nobody should have privacy because some bad guys might use privacy to do bad things. Privacy advocates are the opposite. We say everybody deserves privacy as a human right, even if on occasion some bad guys take advantage of the privacy.

Hi Aaron,
No writeup to share, but it's really simple: launching the reMarkable desktop app automatically syncs the rm2's contents to my destination of choice. My Obsidian vault includes a directory containing my rm2 folders and "notebooks", which use a date-based naming convention. FWIW, I agree w your assessment of the on-device search and navigation, but since I use it almost exclusively for input, that's never really bothered me.
This activity is steps above a normal botnet or threat actor such as standard ransomware operators. Not only living off the land, but taking care to blend in to the device/environment, not just dropping a randomly named blob. They show a narrow focus of targeting, awareness for evasion, and skill at maintaining persistence. This level of sophistication is not normal, for normal incidents.
> many of apple’s most important employees

What do you mean here, by "many", exactly? Kind of odd to argue that everyone should go to the physical office because "many" must, when, let's be honest, "many" here is probably less than 1%.
Wow. Cool tip. I'll have to try that.
I really like the flexibility of Linux, PHP and .. bash scripts that run from cron and populate my SSI files :) My site is lightweight and I don't use frameworks for PHP so load time is exceedingly quick.

The embryo technically develops in a cavity of the “body” of the mother. It is neither limb nor organ (vital or not) of the ‘host organism’ (mother). It is a distinct organism. The open Q is at what point it is a ‘human being’ with associated rights. (Just for FYI, in Islam this transition is held to occur after the development of eyes after which abortion is not acceptable. [I believe this window of ‘choice’ for parents is the first trimester.])

> tenant

Eviction is not something a landlord may decide on their own. Typically you have to take the tenant to court. Sometimes in fact they do end up staying rent free for months.
That's an interesting take, but I think learned helplessness is tangential to this uncomfortableness. I think of learned helplessness as an inability to progress or work towards a goal because of the over-reliance on those training wheels.

Being in an uncertain state while you're still learning, coming up with ideas, or creating something new is different, in my opinion. If you were unable to progress at all due to the uncertainty, maybe that's where it may be due to an inability to help yourself get through it. But, that being said, the creative process (and especially the early stages) can still be a very uncertain process even for people who are able to eventually work through it.

I think that's where the importance of knowing how to get through it (and what works for you, and practice applying those skills) makes the difference.
Think with Air BnB's recent promotion of work from anywhere the big tech firms are going to have to follow or lose employees.

Majority of ppl do not want to work in an office after working from anywhere past two years. We want our freedom as all have shown to do our jobs successfully remotely no need to go back to an office ever!

Work life is forever changed.

Cities whose economies are hurting and will continue to hurt I say need to turn that commercial real estate into remote worker fully furnished and temporary apartments. Place for remote workers who can...city hop every 3 to 6 to 9 month to 12 months. I'd enjoy city hop remote working as nothing really is tying me down .. those Im dating and or in a relationship can join me or visit me and I can experience living in different cities like Chicago, Honolulu, Seattle, Miami, Austin, etc
No, I just mean you design your system expecting the data from machine 1462 to get analyzed at some point, but that machine belongs to some random person who uninstalled your software without you knowing about it, so you never get back an analysis. Or you have bugs that come from 100 different versions of your software running because you can't simply upgrade the software on all the machines of the datacenter.
This gives me the thought that the focus should be on federating communities (boards/subreddits/forums/newsgroups/whatever you want to call it), and user identities only as a secondary aspect. The instances would choose which boards they want to host, and the contents of the boards would be synchronized between instances. The contents of the boards would be controlled by the community (board owners/moderators). Instances would decide which instances they want to synchronize with. Communities can also decide to fork. That’s actually similar to how Usenet works, except that we want built-in moderation, and cryptography for content integrity and cross-instance authentication.

In 21 years there was one product sold, including one you described as great. I'm not sure where you're getting this from.

That understanding is incorrect.

But I also understand that the true beauty of open source is the entitlement of free work from devs on a project receiving less than 8 euros a month from donations.

I think it's semi deliberate. They put systems in place to catch errors that cost them money but they don't go looking for errors that cost their customers. The result is inevitable but there is enough plausible deniability to avoid any serious consequences for the company.
I'm not sure how it's ignorant. I sort of prefer the C/C++ way of using/packaging libs. I wouldn't want it with higher level languages like C# or python, but a central repository isn't great in my opinion. Rust has people squatting on package names for no reason. Python packaging is so miserable there are a few different competing 3rd party package managers. NPM has had numerous security issues that have caused way more of a mess than anything C++ related. The C# package manager seems okay, but as far as I know will not package libraries as source code (I'm not sure about that one).

All the package managers I've used have pros and cons, including using none at all.
I'm willing to bet there is a non zero number of executives at intel that seem to be under the impression that it is.
American Corporations drink their own kool-aid, which is probably why they can sit there and talk about what's wrong concisely without knowing what to do about it. The days of servant leadership, or leading from the front are gone in terms of management. Instead, they're a self-serving bunch. Engineers are effectively the lowest on the hierarchy and their happiness matters to no one in the chain because everyone is serving the link above them. If software ever does unionize I don't think it'll be over pay, it'll be over stuff like this.

I wouldn't say I liked it when they changed their name to Basecamp. Glad they are going back to 37signals as I always associated them with that name anyways since I have always used one of their products from time to time.

It’s doubtful that a company as well-run as Apple falls for the sunk cost fallacy at this scale.

Ireland: Data centres now consuming more electricity than all rural homes
I should preface my comment by saying that I generally agree that full WFH is a very reasonable request, but I can only partly follow their reasoning on the diversity factor:

>"... will change the makeup of our workforce [to] younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied"

Was this an issue before COVID? I can see how this policy might help shape the workforce, but not how it would change the workforce from what it already is unless it became more diverse during COVID as a result of flexible WFH options.

I also understand their justification for how these might limit candidates except "whiter" and "neuro-normative", which their letter didn't seem to provide direct reasoning for. I suppose "whiter" might be the result of drawing more from the local population, but again they seem to be arguing that a policy that's still more flexible than pre-COVID will make things worse, which I don't follow.

>*"requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team

Again this shouldn't make things any worse than pre-COVID. Given that full WFH was stated as temporary then no one should need to relocate to accommodate a partial in-person requirement. Not unless they unwisely moved away during the lockdown despite things being temporary or are new hires who also failed to take the temporary status into account.

To reiterate, I'm very sympathetic to their overall complaint, but it appears that they might be doing their case a disservice by implying that this will make some things worse than they already are or were before.
Seawater is more expensive to work with, but it does work. You can almost no water too, it's just some more expenses.

The thing is that nuclear is expensive by itself, anything you increase makes it less desirable.

Anyway, AFAIK, nearly all of the uninhabited land on Australia is inside the continent. It's much easier to deploy solar and wind there than anything else.
About time. Statistics are mostly dead in favor of privacy anyway. At least this should help stop Google's blatantly anti-competitive practice of neutering search results if you're not using Chrome.
> very much a gold rush state that's addicted to the boom-bust cycle.

More than addicted, which it is, it is, (and I love that about it), it's adapted to the boom-bust cycle. So people just aren't as impressed with eg billionaires there, different attitude, like it could be me who is the billionaire and you who is a minimum-wage earner. And it can flip in one generation, they're not big into "prominent families" in Silicon Valley, like you have to be a multibillionaire to be prominent, I suppose it's more of a country club thing where it comes into play if that. Plus, it's a badge of honor to have arrived with nothing and turn nothing into billions, in Chile no, new money is not the same (though that's changing). But in Silicon Valley, the new money is the big money, old money is big money from one generation ago, never heard the expression there in fact.

Like you can't sit out the boom/bust cycle, you gotta be in the boom every boom if you want to stay relevant.
Moving to a small company is the only antidote, for the most part. Actually, pretty much everything is better at a small company. For anyone who's only worked at a mega corp or a "Unicorn" where working 60+ hours is expected, working with a small group of people who all know each other will change your life.

> Why not instead focus on stuff that science and experience tell will reduce the amount of abortions and human suffering?

That kind of argument would not support the Roe and Casey viability standard for when states can ban abortions, since our current science and experience says that an abortion will cause suffering to the fetus well before viability.

> Because it's mostly about control of others, right?

A woman getting an abortion is controlling another: the fetus. She is determining the fate of that fetus without the fetus being able to defend itself.

A big part of the problem with the "bodily autonomy" side of the abortion issue is that they only talk about the woman, never about the fetus. The hard truth is that once a woman is pregnant, it's no longer just about her. Any reasonable concept of personal responsibility will require the woman to take the fetus's interests into account and will not support a claim that a woman has a right to an abortion just because she has a right to "autonomy".

The maps highlighted many regions expected to participate in memory, but also many that were not

This feels like a study from decades ago, as if it were done in complete ignorance of the fact brains store event descriptors and entity descriptors separately. "Program data" and "character data" to use an analogy. Of course that sort of unselective "memory make marker go brr" analysis will show up all over the place because the brain is touching a dozen or more different types of data at once. If you want usefully specific results you have to use usefully specific methods.
