That is the opposite of what I've been hearing in Germany, tbh, although I think my "network" tends towards the small-to-medium rather than medium-to-large.

Even looking briefly at job listings in my area, most places are either fully or partially remote, and even those that are partially remote sometimes have a note saying that they'd accept fully remote candidates if they were good enough.

As to the 40h/week thing, I don't hugely keep track of my colleagues' hours, but my impression is that averaging 40 is the norm, but most places I've worked don't track that explicitly, so working about that or less seems to be the norm. In places where you record explicit overtime hours, I know a couple of people who do more than 40h/week, but they tend to also take extensive holidays off or travel a lot on long weekends. I wouldn't say that's the norm though.
What is your evidence that in aggregate citizens want what you want/dislike the current state? If that is not the case, you cannot claim that "countries are pressured".
If something becomes important or necessary, the entire document would be leaked, or relevant sections documented. Thank you Scihub and libgenesis.

The more likely outcome is the specification will become its last version. If the spec isn’t open, people will implement it, but poorly. This will lead to gross incompatibly, and force people to default to known good legacy standards. For reference, see USB 3.0+.

HDMI is already USBified. Most of the headline features of 2.1 are just making the 2.0 features mandatory, but introducing another set of optional features.

"Strict Identifier Verification" look kind of like CWE-304.

CWE-304: Missing Critical Step in Authentication <https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/304.html>

Looking at the CWE-304 wording, this does not look like the right CWE, but OWASP ASVP 2.2.2 points to this CWE.

OWASP ASVP 2.2.2 <https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/blob/v4.0.3_release/4.0/en/0x1...>

2.2.2
Verify that the use of weak authenticators (such as SMS and email) is limited to secondary verification and transaction approval and not as a replacement for more secure authentication methods. Verify that stronger methods are offered before weak methods, users are aware of the risks, or that proper measures are in place to limit the risks of account compromise.

> The tone-deaf responses of tech people to normal peoples' plights never ceases to amaze me.

In this case though it is a response to another tech person. Maybe the general public would get some sympathy here, but this person had a vanity domain that they used for something important then let expire, and should know better.

> The telephone is not an essential utility that people will die without, either.

There are obvious circumstances where this is very much not true, so your call for empath back at you: just because you have never been in a position where phone comms are that important…

>being stay at home is way more isolating then pandemic was.

I could not disagree more, and my partner would say the same. What was so absolutely terrible about Covid lockdowns was that the few coping mechanisms available to primary caregivers in those early months and years of their childrens' lives (cafe visits with friends, having other people visit, going to the park and talking to others, etc etc) were completely removed. Covid lockdowns were near 100% isolating (and by design).

>The work from home of other partner is already massive change.

And this made it worse again! Not only does one partner have to try to look after young children literally isolated and not allowed to leave the house, but the other is supposed to sit staring at their computer and concentrate on work while ignoring them?

>It was going outside.

I don't know where you are from, but the Covid restrictions here were not only very strict, but people were incredibly compliant. The parks and such were empty! I was surprised. I had many lonely trips to our local playground with my little boy.
Nobody likes homelessness. How is democracy going at putting an end to it? The list of similar examples is endless; democracies are forced to put up with a lot of stuff that nobody likes when everything that is tried turns out not to work.

Democracy is a very powerful technology, no argument there. But it can't overcome technical realities. It is better at adjusting to them and giving up when the cost gets too high.

Author here, thanks for sharing!

Workflows like these are really specific to the environment you're working in, so take the post with a grain of salt and try to see what works best for your team.

With this said, a lot of companies work completely remotely (or in large parts) nowadays, so the importance of asynchronous communication and writing down decisions for future discussions cannot be understated.

I think we should strive for processes that don't take a lot of mental overhead, so removing friction where possible is key here, enabling everyone on the team to read and write their own RFCs and document decisions with ADRs.
On the transition - It’s much easier than you might think. Especially if the focus is vegetarian not vegan.

There are so many cheaper protein alternatives: beans, dairy, nuts, eggs, etc. And good subs like veggie burgers, non dairy milks, etc.

Instead of a meal with a meat protein and veg, you can easily sub beans or something with eggs. You also tend to load up more on veggies (like on pizza)

In fact I find it’s kind of easier to NOT eat meat. Less worry about foodborne illness or parasites. Lower cost.
Discord pretty much replaced IRC. I remember, 20 years ago, a lot of people used IRC for chat. I think SoMe and the various chat apps more or less killed off IRC as a popular platform...then discord came along, and filled the niche for gaming chatroom. Now people use it for all kinds of stuff.
Not everyone shares your enthusiasm. Yes, this is good for foreigners and corporations but it comes at the expense of native workers. it suppresses wages(often times immigrants are willing to do the same jobs at lower salaries), as well as makes it more difficult for native workers to find a job due to increased competition.

>If you try to make something private, then you're helping money launderers, criminals and pedophiles.

But you can't just hand wave concerns regarding money laundering and other criminality away. If you want to, you should just say "these things don't matter that much", but don't just avoid them entirely.

>Lastly, we reserve the right to manipulate the money supply. It's enough for you to know that we are experts and have your best interests in mind. You don't need to concern yourself with how much money there is, how its supply is managed or the potential negative effects of our manipulation, you wouldn't understand the implications anyway.

You mean to say that we live in a democracy. We elect our representatives, and they pick who runs these institutions. They are relatively "undemocratic" because when politicians are able to manipulate the interest rates directly, well things are perhaps even worse.
Probably not a Freudian slip, they are 'best' in that sense.

While I agree in general (there are better/faster approaches than virtual dom), it’s not very relevant to a Show HN about React-compatible performance improvements. Lit is not compatible with React, as far as I know. If there’s a claim that Lit’s approach can be compatible with React’s API, that would be a different matter.

To me this makes the comment come off as hijacking the thread to promote their own library, which really is quite rude. Not claiming this was spankalee’s intent, but you see this quite often on HN, people who keep mentioning their own product or library in barely tangentially related discussions.

we are mostly non-meat, not vegetarian per se. my daughter is a committed vegetarian on revulsion and compassion grounds. that caused the other family members to adapt. I used butter milk, chicken stock, but we never buy meat. I dont refuse meat when invited to dinner or at restaurants but we eat over 95% less than we did a few years ago.
>> and get no respect.
> not my experience at all

Respect could mean different things to different people, but I find the things you wrote not to be very respectful, but being nice in my evaluation.

I have worked in a research lab. While the folks I worked with respected my work, what I would actually consider respectful is including me in the design of the work, not giving me my part of work after they designed the thing they want to work on. And while most job industry is not good in this respect, working in research lab is worse than that. Almost all research labs treats SWE like cost center[0].

I've sung in amatorial vocal ensembles and medium sized choirs and there are several professional musicians in my friends and family.

Eye contact is very important in small ensembles especially when there isn't a director to synchronize breathing and cues with other voices or instruments who share your part, though in a lot of cases you can go by ear just listening to the other parts.

In this setting, when there is a director their basic role in a performance is to keep the tempo regular and direct rallentando and accelerando, and to remind you of cues, dynamics, and other things they might've discussed during rehearsals. During rehearsals their role is also to set the mood of a piece of music and get everybody to match it, because obviously if all the musicians have a different idea of how it should sound and feel it's not gonna be a very good performance, and in a concert they can reinforce that mood through body language.

In larger choir or orchestra's the director's role to keep the tempo becomes extremely important because you just can't rely on what you hear from the section that's sitting on the other side of the church or of the concert hall; by the time the sound gets to your ears there'll be a few ms of delay and you'll already be primed for starting late, so you have to maintain eye contact or have a "leader" in your section who will do it and to whom you'll refer for cues.
I was privy to some discussion with people related to this line of research. In my layman understanding Chatterjee's contention was final placement of components in the accelerator chip was better done with some human aided intervention, after RL had generated a "mostly" complete layout.

Its not hard to imagine why he could be challenging the other paper - The RL program could possibly be generating placements based on optimization related to defined tasks (goals). The Nature paper shows a blurred out image of the same, where the components aren't symmetrical placed. However its understandable that interconnect lengths influence I/O which you want symmetrical from the similar components. That makes the placement more optimal for generalized tasks instead of specific ones.

Do we know if that is done? Maybe or maybe not. But it would be interesting to find out. Anyway this is something we'll better understand if Sat Chatterjee's preprint is released.
> Is this arguing both for and against the need for financial privacy at the same time?

No.

It's a perfectly reasonable position to take. I want my transactions to be private to the world but it's reasonable that law enforcement has a method to investigate criminal behavior.
> There are obvious circumstances where this is very much not true, so your call for empath back at you: just because you have never been in a position where phone comms are that important…

True, and you just proved GP's point.

The problem with snap is, that you kick it out of the door and it will enter back through window.

So removing and purging snap is not enough. You have to pin is so down, so it won't install again. Canonical makes this unnecessary difficult, which raises question, whether it is a fight worth fighting or just move on a system that respects its users more.

On snap being for servers too, is it relevant at all? There are docker/podman containers, systemd containers, portable services... no need for another way to do the same.

You find these earth cellars in many places across Europe, even today. Often they're built into hillsides. Also, in Europe many old houses still have similar cellars without artificial flooring, which tend to be much better for preserving food. My grandma would e.g. fill up an entire room in her cellar with apples in autumn and they would keep well (apart from slightly shriveling) for an entire year.
There isn't any manipulation going on there what the parent comment suggests. When a business is cash strapped it does not have the funds to compete with salaries. However, the business can offer other benefits such as what the parent comment says and these are a benefit alternative to the mundane jobs and tasks an enterprise may have. The prospective engineer can absolutely decline the offer. I feel like you miss the point of being cash strapped. You can't just create funds out of thin air at any time. The parent commenter did not even suggest you perpetually exploit the engineer.

Technique: Recursive Variants and Boxes

I'm not even joking. I recongise most of the documentary is heavily biased, i.e. erections. However, all four of my biological grandparents had heart issues. I'm in my 30's and have a "hefty" build. Being vegan on a whole food type diet would drastically reduce the odds of me dying from heart disease.

This super contrived example (which I'd bet even still isn't as frequent as you think) doesn't require 40 hours in office, which is also most likely not in the same physical location as an actual factory.

I've worked for a retail company where we made physical kiosks for stores - no one ever went into the stores to debug anything, we just worked on simulators and a couple of example units in head office.
Ehm, that's not specifically of Swiss, nor Canton Ticino, in the whole world we have used for centuries "advantageous micro-climate places", sometimes even for living, sometimes just to preserve foods or something else, sometimes thanks just to specific orography, sometimes artificially made with various design.

We talk about that now because of the looming crisis and a kind of (largely absurd) "what we can do with nothing tech", generally forgotten that we do not produce foods locally, like in the past, so even re-learning long lost or long-marginal tech and techniques we simply can't do much with them...

Honestly: if someone is warred by loss of electricity == loss of fridges/freezers a small p.v. or other personal renewable is the option so far, learning to cook and preserve at home is another, but going further is not a realistic option.
I think it’s a question of perspective. In 2006 I think it’s fair to say that Linux was becoming dominant on the web, meaning that most greenfield projects would run on Linux from day one.

Enterprise IT was another thing entirely. At the time I was working at an Enterprise Linux vendor and we were very focused on these “Unix to Linux” campaigns. There was so much to do, and a lot of convincing needed to happen to get these business critical workloads over (accounting, payroll, ERPs, etc.).

Ironically, VMware ended up being more instrumental in getting Linux adopted by IT depts everywhere than we ever were. As well as Oracle with Unbreakable Linux, which was released that year.
A potential alternative could be that the university provides lodging to its staff for a subsidized rent. This way, salaries don't have to be increased.

Killer feature for me, why I migrated to FF recently - add blocking in mobile. When I migrated to FF on mobile there was no choice but to migrate to FF on desktop. And I don't regret anything after doing that.
You've certainly painted a sunny picture of arm adoption that I'm simply not seeing.

One of the advantages of docker is that you can have systems lock their versions. So our project using say, Neo4J, uses a particular version of it. Not necessarily one with an arm build. This creates predictable and repeatable builds.

So now either we upgrade dependencies out of our expected cycle, or we abandon macs as our development machines. A decent number of us wanted Linux anyway. This is a cost that Apple foisted on us.

> since arm instances are cheaper on some public clouds, you should be making sure your stuff runs on arm64 now.

Some instances might be cheaper, therefore we have to adopt it now? I think the cost/benefit analysis you're performing here is ignoring development costs. Are you a project manager of some kind?

> they’ve been arm native for years.

The native libraries and tools that make them worthwhile are not. Really it only takes a single component to ruin everything.
> I had to adjust my gut biome using antibiotics (non-systemic).

Overuse of antibiotics is not a good thing. If you want to gradually reduce antibiotics then I would recommend adding curd, natural yogurt, buttermilk and home made butter(a by-product of making buttermilk) to your diet. Curd and buttermilk can be made at home so that also reduces cost. I would recommend home made, because the ones available in the market are mostly made with milk powder instead of fresh milk.

Also try to eat nuts like almond, cashew, groundnuts, wet dates and raisin soaked in water. Keep a handful of these mixed in a bowl of water at night and eat it the next morning.

Also increase the portion of non-leafy vegetables(compared to leafy vegetables) in the diet and stop eating bakery products.

And don't eat uncooked vegetables in the name of salad.

And, during excretion prefer squatting instead of default commode style.

And finally, do pranayam(yoga) every morning; helps a lot with both mental and gut well-being.

I don't think many people at VC backed companies or FAANG are 'extraordinary' it's not like Zillow or robinhood app developers or whatever are unique people I would argue that they are usually people who ether went to great schools (money) or connected or learned to ace the interview process.

I've yet to see open source code from FAANG or other big players that looks like it was done by a genius. it's just professionals who know how to read documentations, and know how to write clean code and know how to work in a good engineering process.

also when you're building an app (web, mobile, SAAS ...) I really really doubt you need or want 'extraordinary' people ..
