For me, the root cause of problems here, is not the “soft”, after work hours—some jobs need that kind of thing—but rather the escalation of expectations without another negotiating opportunity.

It’s a lot of work to enter into employment arrangements with a company. For both the employee and employer. What’s problematic is when either side is “surprised” by a change in expected behavior after the fact. It’s frustrating, because you have sunk cost in entering the employment agreement. So middle managers abuse their employees by springing these types of things after the job has gotten going. The employee has the freedom to walk, but not without paying a certain opportunity cost.

The job offer should make very clear up front in the listing what these “soft” expectations will be. And if they do, the employee/employer needs the recourse to renegotiate the situation.

I’ve seen this go the other way as well. Employee takes job, puts in a few months, and then springs untold issues on the employer. Like the abusive middle manager, if they make it minimal enough to just be annoying, it’s not worth firing them for it, it just becomes a drag on everyone else.
Sorry, but have you actually compared the two? As another point of anecdata, I immediately noticed that my new coworker was using a proper camera during our first 1:1. The depth of field and crispness really stands out from your typical MacBook Pro webcam.

I don’t think focus would be a problem but sleeping problems. When body is accustomed to stay awake even when lying then it’s much harder to fall asleep.
In that case you would still have an absorption refrigerator that "cools" the outside and dumps to the inside as an alternative. They are usually either gas-fired or running off of district heating (well, 50-120C seems usual).
I can definitely see why the maphack thing would be an issue generally, but in the case of a broadcast esports competition is it so significant? They seem to have put an awful lot of engineering effort into their special lag system for this tournament, so I assume they at least have some pretty decent budget. So, presumably they could create a special client (possibly even sending the competitors locked down hardware). This seems like it would let them do some things we'd normally consider impossible or 'magic' -- assume both sides of the pipes are going to tell you the truth about everything...
Can you provide some examples of this?

What did you think of the Pixel 5? It's only 0.5cm taller and otherwise more or less identical in dimensions.
IMO, in the long term it will be more harmful at all levels, because the reaction to price increases will be a political reaction (despite that being relatively irrelevant) and a longer lasting disdain for policies that were enacted or proposed too fast and too soon for a proper transition away to be feasible. The only solution I see is for fossil fuel prices to continue to rise regardless of political will or technology or any such thing, with accompanying mass disaster and die-off -- essentially a sacrifice to the poorly defined gods of environmentalism who demand an ironically conservative state of existence.
DNSSEC+DANE is an affirmation by the United States government that you have followed a chain to an answer about a certificate pinning. Handshake (www.handshake.org, Trigger warning: crypto) will give you what you are talking about (CA non-reliance) anchored in the owner of the website itself.

If you aren't a fan of DV certificates (as you point out verified by resolution), you can always restrict your trust store to only CA certificates that sign EV certificates (verified by business records).
> The only talk of "public forum" comes from people who are desperate to force others to listen to them.

Occasionally, it's used by other people properly to refer to a space used by government for official purposes; I suspect much of the other use is dual purpose, that is, it intends to discredit the proper use as much as to advance a more overt purpose.
I wouldn't say I'm really into it, to be honest its one of those things that'll probably just sit forever in my someday todo list. I just think there could be something interesting in it.

No idea why you’re being downvoted, you are absolutely correct and I’m afraid to say - the world can be a cold hard place and personal failures have consequences.

I do not see any kind of unnecessary insults or unreasonable bashing here either. It is necessary to speak the truth sometimes, if we’re just going to sit here and help OP shift personal responsibility no one benefits and no one learns. It would just further a victim mindset.

As sorry as I am for OP, there is really nothing further to add here.
I was originally going to write a whole drawn out thing, but I realized it wasn't necessary.

One interesting aspect to think about on how social media affects democracy is the aspect of education. I can't find the video right now, but I remember seeing or maybe reading a post that said how you watch all these videos on all these topics ranging from math to economics to civil engineering etc, and you build this false perception of "oh yeah I know this shit", but really you don't, you know one summary that was presented to you.

Those channels: Tom Scott, Johnny Harris, 3B1B, etc. Are all amazing in the time they spend learning their material and then producing such high quality instruction, but even if you watched an hour long video on econ you still wouldn't be an economist. A lot of us know this, but there are a lot of us that don't, and we then go to vote on bills and politicians thinking we know the implications of our actions and how it might affect the country when we really don't.

Of course this isn't just a conversation about social media and it can devolve into a conversation about the dangers of an uneducated democracy overall. But I feel that social media definitely contributes to this false sense of educated that a lot of people have, pair that with echo chambers, misinformation, and an addictive formula and you've got a troublesome future.
Agreed.

However one thing I have noticed is mic quality matters... up to a point.

I'm not even talking mic booms and super expensive setups, the difference between some omnidirectional mic on the bottom of a laptop or the side of one of those bluetooth headphones and pretty much any headset with a mic pointed at your actual face is night and day. It doesn't need to be expensive, but it does need to be within reasonable proximity to your mouth, and preferably not over a questionably compressed bluetooth stream.
Definitely feeling the same, sorry about the confusion
This is an especially American problem, at least in the developed world.

And what sets the US apart from the rest of the developed world? The almost complete lack of labor organization ie unions.

Your shitty life isn't because of [insert wedge issue here]. It's because of your material conditions. Poor white people have way more in common with poor black people than either do with rich people. But so many Americans believe they are simply temporarily embarrassed millionaires [1].

This propaganda is so successful that something like 30% of Americans believe in the Great Replacement [2]. It's pushed on mainstream media [3].

> However, in practice 'not being able to reach the whole screen with my thumb' hasn't turned out to be a big problem: navigation elements at the top of the screen tend to be less-used

If that's true, then app devs are thoroughly incompetent at it. Take a look at at Chrome on Android. The address bar, tab menu, and settings bar are all at the top of the screen. In 2021, Apple made the same change for Safari, moving the address bar from the bottom of the screen to the top [1]. The tab grid Chrome's push for tab grid [2] made it even worse, because depending on the tab, you may need to reach across the entire diagonal the reach the tab you want. Firefox has the option of putting the address bar at the bottom (and if so, the tabs show near the bottom as well), but the navigation buttons for bookmarks are near the top of the screen.

I don't think mobile developers think about one-handed phone use at all. Based on the designs used, with interactions bouncing all around the screen, it doesn't seem to be a concern at all. Perhaps they assume that everybody holds a phone with one hand and then touches the screen with the other hand.

U-Boot is the defacto standard in the cheap ARM SBC land, which is mosty based on SoCs meant for something else, like TV boxes, etc..
The tl;dr I got out of the paper is they are calling for the creation of an intercloud broker layer that mediates between cloud vendors, and call it Sky Computing. I didn't see any extended discussion of how to work around egress charges designed to lock in customers, other than just implementing sharding with more steps: chunk of workload Foo is brokered to AWS, chunk of same type of workload but different data is brokered to GCP, and so on.

Another alternative is to deliberately design asymmetric data movement wherever possible: inbound into cloud vendors is nearly as-needed, outbound is miniscule and to something like Cloudflare R2. Or even minimize data movement at all. Those are unnatural contortions that are easily countered by different pricing policies by the cloud vendors though, which can lead to painful re-architecting and re-implementation.
In spain we have mandated clock in and clock out, even remotely. I've had this for years but it seems it solved this problem for other people.
Google is famous for having amazing dev tools. If any (large) project is going to have this most-important thing, it is likely to be best able to get it at Google. And yet Google also has a reputation for low developer productivity. So, what gives? Are some of my premises wrong, is the most important thing not close to sufficient, is Google actually productive?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of its mobile phone strategy.

And it last a long time not using any services that make Android what it is to most users (ie using Google service) is not a mass market selling point.
But if I'm joining another startup I explicit don't want "But a co-op would fairly represent the interests of all the workers without the adversarial nature of a union. You could represent your own interest and take votes on company direction.". I know exactly what I'm signing up for and it's not to guarantee failure. The reason I joined is because someone else has the vision and the dream or I would have done it myself.
South Korea Turns to Surveillance as ‘Ghost Surgeries’ Shake Faith in Hospitals
IMO it's not about changing jobs, it's about setting expectations at jobs. That boss will only fire them for not responding at 9pm because they have the expectation that you will respond at 9pm. You need to set expectations early in the job when you aren't defying a standard behavior but setting that.

If you are already stuck you might need to have a sit down with your boss and try to work something out. Maybe they are actually usually OK with your not responding until morning but you just have no way to differentiate between normal and urgent. It is possible that you could work something out that doesn't require changing jobs to reset expectations.

Can't agree. Those teams had an advantage when playing RNG. Taking away that advantage does actually make the event more fair for them, even though they are being disadvantaged.

> The man continues to scream. You comment, "My 5 year old does this every day. Why is this special?" You're desperately looking for answers. Maybe there's something you're missing.

Okay — but outside your narrative, people can tell the difference. Even when the labels are reversed.

And preliminary work suggests machines can as well.

So, in your analogy, it’s because everyone but you is paying attention to the words and style of the man screaming — which is quite unlike your child’s tantrum. And you’re blinded to that by your own biases.

Only if you think appreciation and value is synonymous with what is pleasant. I don't.

Malevich's Black Square is not pleasing to me, but I value and appreciate it for expanding the boundaries of art. Same with John Cage's music. What's so oxymoronic about that?
This has been my line of thinking too.
One reason even well designed camera systems struggle to reproduce accurate colors is the relatively wide bandpass filters for each color. This is especially true for modern digital sensors with green, cyan, and clear Bayer filters.

While inexpensive to implement and coincidentally well matched to narrow-gamut encoding like sRGB, it significantly mangles red/yellow/green colors.

Filters that approximate the CIE 1931 standard observer effective band pass curves would be better (and work well with wide gamut encodings like rec.2020)

Here’s some detail I posted in a previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31107643#31111607

The sensitivity curves for Kodachrome are narrow and a good match for the CIE standard observer RGB effective bandpass curves (ignoring negative red values):

Keep in mind the response chart is log and what we are looking for is the -3db bandpass.

>Not saying it couldn't be made a law without cultural buy-in, I'm saying the law wouldn't be effective.

The bureaucracy would expand to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy, and enforcement mechanisms would be created like every other tax rule, enforced at the end of a gun like every other tax rule.

>But if we can't agree that the goal would be a good one, there's no point in getting into the details.

On the opposite - without the details the goal is just a meaningless sound bite, used as a weapon to justify things many won't agree to by saying 'but didn't you agree goal x is important?'.

The answer is 'depends on the cost'. If the cost is empowering equality of outcome proponents, or creating communist style political commissar enforcement mechanisms, then no, not worth it.

That's why I say details of plan first, not last. it's easy to say "what if we had equal opportunity" and get head nods but ultimately meaningless. The details are what matter, and if you can't present what you think is a good plan, you don't have one - you just have a platitude to justify wide future actions that I probably wouldn't support.

Unless you assume CCS for the fossil plant, which is not a setup that would work well for a typical residential forced-induction gas-fired central hot water heater (combined with passive radiators in rooms or underfloor heating).
I agree 100%.

Compiler errors are strictly superior to runtime errors. It's as simple as that.

Luhmann methods are known since the 80s, at least in europe. And I think I saw the first digital implementation around 2006 or 2008. Looking it up, the first(?) Digital Zettelkasten after Luhmann method was in 2004 already at version 2.5, so it's likely quite older. But dates are not important here.

Luhmanns method is simply not that special, nor unique. Many scientists and artist used similar methods and tools. He is mostly just replicating what was common at the time, but with some twist. And in the 80s or 90s is would be really awesome, probably even somewhat groundbreaking. But today? It's just another graph-system which you find in wikis or hypertext for decades now. And most people are not even using the benefits of his number-system, just calling everything zettelkasten which is just a wiki otherwise, leaving even less of his originality. Though, in digital space it make less sense anyway, so not a big lose.

But for whatever reason, there now this hype from people who seem to have know knowledge about those space or it's history, or even really understand the terms, thinking Luhmanns method is called Zettelkasten...
If I understand that correctly, it's a mount to allow you to use a normal camera lens? That are a specific screw-thread type?

Similar to how you can get mounts for phones to improve the shot options?
The biggest issue for me is the battery. The first mini had horrible battery life, I know the 13 is better. The fact is I'm spoiled rotten with the Pro battery life and don't see the size winning me over.
Blend that in with some product intelligence to manage stackholders and booya, a solid nice product/dev integration.

Quality of user stories and product cycle would be interesting to see as it has a direct impact on dev quality (ie how much do they have to guess versus cleanly mapped out).

It's pretty cool and I see where you are going with it.
IMHO I stay connected because it saves boatloads of time if someone just needs a quick yes/no after hours which can then put us far ahead in productivity compared to if I hadn’t stayed connected. That typically results in less stress and less dense work for the team overall.
You are describing most successful machine learning models. Take AlphaFold, it has surely discovered relationships that govern protein folding better than any human has ever previously understood.
I like working at home, but I don't like living at work.

I would agree that being on call after hours requires compensation. Unfortunately many "full time" jobs do not pay overtime and provide no compensation for on call time.

Keynes was right about the increases in productivity and automation, but apparently absurdly naïve in predicting it would result in reduced work hours for the same pay rather than in increased profit and unemployment.

"Since our workers have become twice as productive, we've decided to double their pay and cut the work week in half" is not how most company managers think.

Yet it would seem to be better for society as a whole if our lives were not consumed by endless drudgery; reducing the standard "required" work hours would seem to be a good idea for human health and happiness.
I'm still waiting for proof it was anything more then people changing jobs or taking time off when they got stimulus checks. I really doubt anything is coming of it at this rate let alone "societal" changes.

The discussion above was of the 1990s. Displays were graphical and bitmapped, not text. I remember when dragging and resizing windows with contents visible became A Thing.

And yes, I used computers in the phosphor age. And just a tad during the teletype period. I don't think either applies, though e-ink does have some characteristics of phosphors in terms over overall response rate.

The main distinction though is that phosphors painted in a line, not a full-screen refresh (though it might be interesting to see just how e-ink does refresh in super-slow motion), and then decays.

For e-ink, the characteristic is that higher-quality refreshes take longer, and that a full flush (blacking then blanking the full screen) creates a marked flash. It's much better on recent high-end displays than on, say, a ten-year-old Kindle. But there's still some of the effect visible.

Much less a problem when paging, or when there's a single cursor-point-of-change when typing text. More a problem with complex dynamic displays.
> A lot of cameras will list maximum time before shutting off as 29 minutes, 59 seconds. This isn't neccessarily because of overheating issues but (I think) to avoid falling on the wrong side of some tax/duty differences between camcorders and stills cameras.

Social policies are not mine and I personally do not have a goal to promote them among the privileged class to which I myself belong, so it should not matter what terms I use in this conversation. It’s just the matter of fact that certain class of people of certain ancestry and gender is often ignorant to the social progress and lives by the book of Ayn Rand, rather than by the book of Acemoglu and Robinson.
