I think his point is that the solution to the problem is not to go back to the office, but to try develop a better social life outside of work.

It's the "root cause" fix.
What do you mean by this? There is still the need to do the nembutsu
My life is much worse for having 30+ Zoom meetings per week instead of the 1-2 it was before. Design discussions and collaborative problem solving are activities I used to find satisfying & be pretty efficient at. On Zoom I find them excruciating, draining, and very slow - requiring more hours for the same output, compounding the pain of sitting on Zoom, and sapping my own focus time.

Part of the job is to knock out tickets but part of the job (particularly when senior) is to help coworkers. If we lived in a fully transactional gig-worker kind of model then I would bill you 10x as much to get involved in your problem over Zoom. We don't, so that's impossible. And I realize this is silly on the grand scale of labor exploitation but I feel like by expecting me to treat remote workers the same as in-office workers, management is extracting a lot more value from me than was our deal pre-pandemic.

I get very little utility from the "flexibility" (always prioritized living close to the office, prefer the change of scenery) but a lot of disutility from remote collaboration.
> Which stands for what anyway?

I'd always figured it stood for something like "listing" but if it doesn't, who cares, no one's gonna have a problem remembering it.

> there are only two buttons on a mouse

There are 3 buttons on the mouse, plus 3-4 modifier keys (shift, alt, control, logo) on the keyboard, which are sometimes used in combination. Usually not more than 2 modifier keys are used at a time, so that gives us four (single mod) plus four choose two (two mods) modifier combinations, times three for each mouse button, equals 30 different actions, which are usually not well discoverable.
My friend joined Coinbase who he recommended to me. They are highly remote or very remote friendly. The CEO has a great vision too, I enjoyed some of the talks he gave eg with Gary Tan, etc.
The German Wikipedia article on random/urandom still claims that entropy depletes and using urandom may allow an attacker to "calculate" the random numbers after the fact (whatever that means).

Several people tried to correct it, but since the article author considers the article "his", all discussion attempts were shut down (with gems like "the random number subsystem was programmed by T'so, so it doesn't matter what Torvalds says about the subject"), and all edit attempts were reverted as "vandalism".

This article will claim urandom to be insecure until eternity.

hello everyone i study programming online and i have never make any dollar online can anyone help me with that
I feel like the point you’re making has never been less true. Dialog boxes with “not yet” rather that “no” are ever more popular. I don’t think that the modern UX designer has much respect for me or my intentions.
"intention" refers to critical thinking and intelligence so yeah that's what is missing from AI
According to this [1] the limit for PFAS in the states ranges from 13 ng/L - 1000 ng/L. So it’s on the same order of magnitude. I also would guess that the limits are conservative, just because it’s so wide-spread already.

For the most part conventional armies don’t really fight one another that often anymore - it’s more common to have asymmetric warfare like western/russian involvement in the Middle East. These “tanks” will probably not target other “tanks”.
You can try SPLV or similar but you miss the bubble inflating with these.
There's also a tendency for humans to over optimise the wrong things.

John Sturman has a business game to illustrate this called the Beer Game[1].

It's supposed to illustrate shocks to a supply chain with limited knowledge of how the rest of the system is behaving.

The players in charge of their part of the system try to reduce costs to get a better score but in doing so often catastrophically open themselves up to shocks in the system.

IMHO the same thing is true for managers and accountants trying to reduce costs in their development teams. If you get it wrong you can get a short term gain and long term problem that kills the company.

So recognisable. In our office everyone is on international teams so everyone is side by side on different calls. It's a mess.

It was like this before covid but our company took advantage to reduce the number of floors and make all the office space hotdesks. So now I sit beside colleagues I don't even know and it's even harder to talk about noise.

Hey HN! After months of work and over 1000 hours of research, design & development, we just released BeAware, an open-source & free Deaf Assistant iPhone app!

- BeAware uses the in-built hardware to alert Deaf users of knocks on doors, baby crying for a deaf moms, sirens blaring for deaf delivery drivers. Earlier deaf users would have to purchase a separate "alerting devices" which would vibrate or flash LED's, something that they can do with this app now, even while it's running in the background in low power mode!

- The app also performs highly performant Speech To Text in ~15 languages, even without an internet connection, designed to work great in the time of the pandemic. (Includes Arabic, Ukrainian, Chinese Simplified & Traditional, Spanish, French, ...)

- The notepad feature allows users to type, or use pre-written phrases to display text to others who don't know ASL. It's super unique to where it allows the Deaf user to dictate the text through active audio and video calls!

The app was designed to make their everyday lives easier and more inclusive. We'd love to get your feedback, and for your to share it with your friends :) Just tap the download button on the website.
We plan to add AR and ML to the app if we get some traction & interest to enhance the deaf experience.
It is not a vanity metric.

These points describe a different problem - that you can't condense something complicated like a fund down to a single number, so you shouldn't view IRR in isolation. I suspect (hope) people sticking money into VC funds are sophisticated to know that though.

This isn't unique to IRR. If you stock pick looking only at P/E ratios you're gonna have a bad time too
Every time someone asks me why, I reply with why not? I simply saw that he was interested in somewhat strange appearance on a screen and that led to our "learning" (fun, really) session.

Of course I'm aware that math, soft skills etc. are probably going to be more important to him than `bash`, and I try to show him a bit of those too! But that doesn't mean that showing him something unusual when there's already an interest from his side is useless.

Around 8 I was copying the example programs from the GW-BASIC manual (especially the ones that involved graphics) on an MS-DOS 3.1 computer, then I was randomly modifying them to see what would happen... not exactly sure how I ended up learning how to program, but at 10 I was able to do simple programs in BASIC.

I think that learning in an environment without a GUI was in the end very helpful. Of course in the beginning it was quite difficult, but very gratifying when I got something right.
NFTs would mean that the "players" can resell stuff they bought, can't have that. Then they might not buy new stuff instead...
Not sure what numbers you compared, but quick research on market cap [1,2]:

European market cap 2019: 8,078,748,800,000 (8 trn)

Coinmarketcap today: 1,583,350,504,806 (1 trn)

Not a tiny blip.

Compared to world equity 2021 [3]: 117 trn

I would call it a small blip.

I think the 0.1X guys (though I wouldn't use that term) tend to not be here as work is just work for them, not a hobby they are absorbed in at all hours.

Not saying that's healthy but I'm sure being on HN has a strong selection bias on 10X people :)

I've worked with many people with varying degrees of competence and I find that the "go out and satisfy your curiosity" is strictly an above average thing.

The average people tend to rely more on courses and certificates, anything approved by the vendor. And they tend to align with the vendor's gospel. If something is not in the training or documentation it doesn't exist. They are the kind of people that will just open a ticket when something doesn't work and go through the hoops for months :)

The really good ones don't really care about such things and just dive into a problem until they thoroughly understand it using any trip of resources necessary (ideally peer to peer info because official info, from the vendor tends to be politically/marketing biased). I would definitely put HN in the latter category.

But I don't think they are useless. The former are really good in operational roles and the latter more in design and architectural ones.

So democracy working is bad? Both seem to have it work exactly like it should, voting majority get what they want.
The „right“ way depends on the person playing.

For me it was w-space (wormhole systems with no gates to their systems, you have to constantly scan for connections an map them - there are tools… - and no list who is in the same system as you) with a small tight knight group.
We ran PI (some sort of industry) and Escalations (PvE in a group with defined roles) for income and hunted other players (doing the same) for fun.
I would even go so far, that the exploration, mapping, hunting & killing lifestyle of wormholes is how EVE really is supposed to be played. But I can see that if that was the only way to play EVE only a few hundred would play it at all.
I do remember calls for a no-fly zone by the excellent Ukrainian PR work. I don't remember any significant calls for it by others, possibly in the form of forwarding the request. I do assume that it was obvious to most that a no-fly zone would imply killing Russian aircraft. Planes get shot down at borders in times of peace, so that might not to be that much of problem.

However, to establish a minimum of safety for NATO aircraft enforcing a no-fly zone SAM sites on Russian soil would need to be disabled. Doing so would surely be considered crossing a border (literally an figuratively).
The sentences don't get much better, tbh. Perhaps not so much the syntax, but the needless floridity.

I stopped reading at:

> Like most things Roman, the structure looks sturdy and lacks the immediate beauty of subtle craftsmanship. My mind initially obeys to the notion that beauty must be frail, needy of special care as if caution alone would naively prolong its lifetime.

Completely over-the-top florid, and I'm pretty sure that "obeys to the notion" is either not grammatically correct, or a very archaic usage of "obey". Either "obeys the notion" or "adheres to the notion" would read better.

And if a writer is going to be that over the top, I'm surprised that they didn't include the diaeresis in naïve, like a real fancy New Yorker article.

I would think fair compromise is to ban destructive abortions. That means it would have to be natural of c-section to remove the fetus. Then it is up to fetus to survive outside.
I didn’t realize until Ukraine 2022 that true tanks are infantry weapons. They are low profile (same height as a soldier) and there to deliver artillery style impact but at point blank range, side by side with riflemen.

Why do tanks need infantry? You can immobilise a tank with a petrol bomb. Something with the firepower of a tank also needs FIBUA close quarter combat to defend it. It is a bizarre quandary.
Q: What is a Homelab?

It's really unfortunate that the Dashy homepage doesn't start by answering this question, and explaining why you need one.

As nice as the page is, it falls victim to the same conceit that has plagued many OSS project pages since forever, by implicitly suggesting that "if you're here, you already know what you're looking at".

I despise frontend development as a JavaScript/TypeScript developer. Every recruiter out there wants me to do frontend work.

It just occurred on me when I got onboarded on this team (one of the big tech), majority of them are Python developers, that they can't for the life of me, figure out a simple npm errors. These are really smart senior developers.

In the past, I've always thought "its just frontend, anyone can do it".

Then it dawned on me that my JS/TS frontend experience are actually really valuable. Now I no longer take it for granted.
This view that you don’t need JS and can do most things natively is tired and screams of old timers trying to cling on to the past, when web pages didn’t have rich user interactions and good UX. Sure, you can build forms that perform full page refreshes, but ajax requests offer a better user experience.
>Why do enemies attack tanks, if tanks don't dish damage?

The target of the enemies, and their tendency to attack, is usually modeled with "aggro". Damage increases aggro, but aggro can also be manipulated. Tanks usually have ways to increase their aggro, unproportionally to their damage, and DPSes sometimes have ways to lessen their aggro. Actually the tank's task is to take damage and manage aggro so that the enemy doesn't kill the DPS-es or the healers.

It may not have been too visible to the outside but Apple never really halted operations as urgently as other companies did. They kind of took a more skeptical approach and kept people coming into the office and taking up the mask and temperature reading protocol among other precautions from what I understand.

This definition of the main battle tank is very much dependent on the current military doctrine of the host country. Each army is making its own trade offs of vehicle weight/armor vs speed vs caliber of the gun.

- In the US an MBT is very heavy and has a very long gun, in order destroy tanks that are very var away.

- In Russia an MBT is much lighter, so as not to get stuck in the mud.

- In Israel an MBT has a shorter gun and has more armor, because it really is mostly used for infantry support - but it also has to be able to stand against enemy tanks.
You should resync with HR on that salary. If it's below market, the company is losing money while it's vacant, and your not able to fill it then you have proof the salary or other benefits are too low. Sort of an efficient market theory: if it was a good offer, someone would take it.

Infiltration, espionage, sabotage, and manipulation of rivals, partners, and other key influential entities. If that fails or seems ineffective threaten/harass/assault (it helped that there was always a fleet of nerds with digital spaceships to call upon heh).

One example would be having an "alt" character be accepted into a rival group, and then just monitor their private chats and asset listings (through that API) for any opportunities to act upon. Think resource transports, infrastructure vulnerabilities, strategic assets mistakenly placed in generally accessible storage, etc.

So really quite similar to how these things work in real life, and nothing that directly involves any trading in and by itself. Mostly market and environment control for better success rates and increased profit margins, but at lower cost and with more leeway for mistakes/timings.
Blokada works well enough for ad blocking without root by creating a local "vpn" connection and newpipe never needed root to begin with.

Ask HN: How do I get my Google account back?
A couple of days back, after I logged in to my gmail account, a security message flashed that someone had logged into my account and I was prompted to change the password or confirm that it was me who logged in. This was during a time when I had to replace my fried router twice within the span of 2 days (one that I rented immediately from my internet service provider on the same day my router died and then with brand new router that I bought a day later). I presumed that the security message was because of new IP addresses that must have been assigned. While I was initially able to log in to my accounts after replacing both the routers, on subsequent logins, I started getting a message that google was not able to ascertain that the email accounts really belonged to me. I managed to use my recovery email on 2 of my accounts and was able to gain access. However, after I entered a recovery email on the email account that displayed the security alert, google refused to accept that the account belongs to me. I have had this account, where I have my whole digital life, ever since goggle offered one. Unfortunately I did not have a phone number associated with this account. My understanding is I would have been able to recover my account, If I had one.

Is there a way I can recover my account? I have started changing the email id’s at various business and agencies where I have used this Id. Is there anything else I need to do?

Sugar – Candy Machine Rust CLI
I don't understand the hype around Flutter for desktop. It's possible to make a cross platform app, but it only looks good for Android and iOS. I haven't used react native, but I imagine it would be better for cross platform apps because you could create a separate UI for mobile and web, but keep the same backend logic for both.
Flutter is the most obvious answer here to me.

Very modern, cross platform (windows, mac, linux, fuchsia, iOS, android, web and embedded devices), excellent tooling / developer experience, outputs to native compiled code, battle tested in a lot of real world scenarios against billions of dollars in revenue like Google’s Ads apps for example.

On desktop specifically, Ubuntu last year or two said they were going all in on providing first class Flutter support on Linux and would be using it as their new default for their own desktop apps starting with the installer in the recently released Ubuntu 22.04 (repo link here https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer)

Should be simple to pick up if you have a JS or even better good TS experience.

I was talking about the goal, you about the path. As long as there is a path, there needs to be a teacher, which can be a formal teacher, a member of your community, or yourself. In the end it is always yourself, of course, and the teaching is always the same, be it Mahayana, Theravada, Hinduism, Yoga, or something else entirely. It does not matter which school you belong to, but the teaching needs to be understood clearly. As long as there is a path, how do you do nembutsu without inspiration?

> The second reason is that it is hard to envisage the government watching the economy slide into recession without doing something to alleviate the pain.

What a flowery way of saying: the government will just pile on even more debt to pump money into the economy.

When will they start making reforms that tackle the real problem? The problem, that big corporations and high net worth individuals have gotten more effective at sucking money out of the economy and transferring it to the upper 1-10 % than a society can tolerate.
Tell me, Mr. Stavros, what good is a right button when you're unable to find any buttons? (think "The Matrix" here)

I don't use mice (the cat tends to eat them) but touchpads (which he only tends to sit on) without any buttons. For me the "right" button means two fingers, hence "right".
