I’m not picking on you specifically, it sounds like you do a lot of desktop .NET development and there are legitimate complaints there.

However, “too invested to switch now” reminds me of .NET/C# developers that don’t embrace change and/or don’t swim in other waters.

Some folks with a traditional Microsoft/Windows/.NET Framework mindset have real trouble with these things:

>“Windows and Visual Studio”

Rider, Linux, Docker, bash terminals, and MacOS are all things that can improve your ability to solve problems with .NET. I’ve met dozens of people that refused to even try a different OS/IDE and fail to gain the benefits of those tools and the broadening effect they have on your perspective.

>”too many frameworks”

This complaint sometimes stems from an unwillingness to learn web/mobile frontend technologies. On the server-side, ASP.NET continues to simplify— you can write an API now in one file with a handful of lines of code. [1]

>“limited core libraries”

The first party support in .NET is already pretty comprehensive. Some folks have an aversion to using open source packages, but this is exactly how you get things like YAML parsing in most other languages. Microsoft’s move to open source has been awesome. You can literally interact & contribute with the team’s that make the framework.

>”command line first”

This sounds like a feature to me. This allows for automation and is easier to document without a series of screenshots. Having a common CLI allows a team to mix their preferences of IDEs/tools.

>”async everywhere which makes everything multithreaded, prone to deadlocks and hard to debug”

I disagree. async/await makes it easier to write readable code without deadlocks or many of the other pitfalls of multithreaded programming. It is not inherently multithreaded either [2].

Since it’s ‘everywhere’ and thus fundamental to writing C#, it’s my first interview screening question. A large number of candidates, with a lengthy .NET background fail to articulate any issues with calling “.Result” or “async void FunctionHere()”. IMO, you have to deliberately avoid understanding such a ubiquitous language feature.

Software Developer with experience building a startup.
Someone who values teamwork.
PM/BA/QA skills.
If all competent employees are equally competent at home but some other slack more at home then WFH is a net negative for the employer. Hence the policy.

Also you're assuming it's possible to control who is slacking / incompetent or not. It's not.. it's a partial information game. Hence the policy.
Totally! Most of our best equipment was stolen and modded from materials science imaging or manufacturing automation. There was a budding industry for automated fluorescence imaging, but they were still finding their legs.

We had a couple electron microscopes that we modernized from film, and the companies we contracted with mostly dealt with materials people.

because it's an overengineered hype that does not reduce complexity, only shovels it around, turning simple problems into obscure ones
Then open a PR.
Last time I ran the script I made to analyze the "Who's hiring" threads here (this weekend), remote offers on HN were above 80 %. Doesn't look likely. https://rinzewind.org/blog-en/2021/percentage-of-hacker-news...
I actually went ahead and did already! And I'm going to do it again!
Employees can also attempt to unionize to keep remote work as a benefit. Organizing efforts are protected by US labor law. They can also lobby their state governments (because, real talk, Congress is a joke and it isn't going to happen there) to legislate that employers must offer remote work when the job can be performed remotely (just as state by state, employers must provide salary information in job listings or upon request). Democracy and all that jazz.
Last time I went down the ffmpeg man page rabbit hole was when I needed to vertically stack (and temporally align) feeds from multiple timelapse cameras to make videos for IG stories.

As soon as the carefully curated string of option configurations went into a script, it also evaporated from my brain. Oh well.. til next time.
Pretty sure most workers don't have ideal working conditions at home.

For me, it's the separation of work/home and seeing people in person. That said, there are also nice benefits - view, lunch/snacks, EV charging, better lighting and ventilation.

Non-native speaker myself, I had to do a double take as well. I think 'to regret sth' can have two slightly different meanings:

1. If I could reverse time, I would decide differently getting a different outcome.

2. I am sad that this happens, but it is still the preferable outcome, compared to the alternative.

I think I 'default' to the first meaning. But in this case the second is probably more fitting.
I bought a house with a few Ring cameras installed. I'll have to see if I can record without a subscription.
The company I work for has a commercial lease that is up for renewal in December, and (AFAIK) they have zero intention of renewing it. So that's one data point in the "no" column.

I was traveling with some friends through Los Gatos on the way to Monterrey and Google had me sit in a residential neighborhood traffic jam for over 45 minutes when I could've turned left and gotten to my destination much quicker. I did end up turning left, but the takeaway that I had is that Google isn't always doing the "right" thing.
Just to be clear -- I'm not annoyed really, I actually find these little momentary confusions to be a charming little quirk of our language. And I think it is not a big deal anyway, 99% of the time we're talking inside our fields where it is obvious what we mean.
Am I the only one happy to see this? I love suburb for its quietness and access to nature. And I hate that my coworkers prefer socializing in bars or even discussing technical questions in bars. It would be so much better if companies move out of SF. In that way, SF residents will be happy too and will stop hating techies for destroying their way of life.
The element that I've never been sure about that is benefits though. If you are taking 50% time do you get benefits at all, or 50% benefits, or what?

tbh in that context, the wink-nudge "you're 40 hours a week and we have a mandatory no-meetings friday, be sure you don't go do something fun because it'd be a real shame if you missed something important!" is actually potentially a better deal from the employee perspective because it's legally clear that you're a FTE.

OJO Labs | Austin, TX (HQ); Minneapolis, MN; San Mateo, CA; Chicago, IL; Toronto, ON | Full-time | REMOTE (some states) and ONSITE | https://www.ojo.com

OJO envisions a world where everyone has what they need to own a home. We know that homeownership is one of life’s most complex decisions and access to trusted advice and expertise can be the difference-maker. Through the fusion of machine intelligence and human expertise, we meet people wherever they are in their home journey to provide deeply personalized guidance and support.

Our intuitive technology learns each individual’s needs and preferences to provide a tailored experience whether they’re buying, selling, or managing their home as an asset. We then help them to move forward when the time’s right — with support, knowledge, and confidence.

From our network of top-rated agents we’ll match homebuyers and sellers with the expert who can best support their specific journey. We introduce agents and loan officers to consumers at just the right time, and underpin the connection with tools and insights to ensure a best-in-class experience.

As part of our team, you’ll help create the experiences that help level the playing field in real estate, so that all people — regardless of race, class, or gender — can experience the gateway to wealth and the security that home provides.

We're hiring for:

* Senior Engineering Manager, Data

* Frontend Tech Lead

* Senior and Staff level Backend engineers

* Data Engineers

* Visual and Product design roles

* Product leads

* More at: https://ojo.com/jobs

On a personal note - I've been at OJO for 3+ years as a senior tech leader, and there is no team of people I'd rather solve problems with! Empathy is a key attribute here, and I often say that kindness is part of my job description. I'm proud of what we build, but even prouder of how we build it.

The question is: what tool to use? I'm a solo developer running a very small kube cluster for my hobby project. I very much wanted to have a declarative version controlled state of my cluster. Every time I try googling solutions I get flooded with some enterprise Saas offerings that do nothing I want.

I managed my stateful sets/services for a while with terraform, but my experience was absolutely terrible and I have stopped that eventually. I now use "kubectl patch" and "kubectl apply" with handwritten yaml, but the workflow feels very clunky.

Intuitively it seems obvious to me that there must be a tool helping with that, but for some reason I was absolutely not able to find anything that would be even a little bit helpful. I am considering writing a couple python scripts that will automate it.
I've tried rdbende's IDE and I agree with your comment. I'll be working in themes for the upcoming updates as I think it might be an useful addition.
This post feels identical to one that I had been considering writing for a while now.

I'm nearly 28, and the past ~4 months have felt like I have been suffering from acute brain fog. And not even regarding challenging topics; most of the decline feels concentrated in parsing relatively simple logical statements and arguments. I used to be able to do this without any difficulty, and now, suddenly, it feels like it requires conscious effort. I too feel like I used to be decent at math and computer science. It's gotten so bad that I'm wondering if this is an actual medical condition (perhaps there is lead in my water? perhaps I have long COVID?).

As far as testing intellect (2), apparently it's not so far out of the ordinary to request a clinical psychologist to administer an IQ test. Additionally it's easy to get tests from Mensa or other organizations. I've been considering doing this for a while myself, but have delayed due to anxiety over the result. IQ tests are evaluated against individuals of the same age, so it won't tell you how you compare against people of other ages (including your younger self), but you can probably compare against earlier aptitude tests you have taken to see if there is a decline. I get the whole IQ discussion gets toxic really fast, so I'll just say I'm not endorsing any of the rhetoric or ideas that co-occur when people start talking about it.

For (3) I think the research on this is rather grim. I don't have time to come up with a good survey, but I'm sure the "rationalists" among us will happily chime in. I think the consensus is that it is possible to increase abilities in a narrow domain and only for a short amount of time.

I have to admit that this has been a very hard thing to come to terms with. I've already felt my work performance suffer, and I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about it. I've been exercising regularly for years now, and recently got my sleep habits in check, but to no avail.
> Or, perhaps the Atlantic states aren't genuinely afraid of Russia.

Or, perhaps, the Atlantic states were divided and uncertain of the threat from Russia, with well-publicized divisions, until the ramp up of Russian rhetoric and material positioning for general war in early 2022.

Before that, they weren't as a whole engaging in the conflict at all, so any explanation of why they are doing so as a bloc has to address itself to the time when they have been doing so as a bloc.

Slight counterpoint: Productivity is really high, but having basically zero relationships with my co-workers is isolating, and I work best when I have a commute and a dedicated working space.
those shortages and supply chain issues are because people make systems that are near peak efficiency, not peak robustness, and when you engineer for peak efficiency, it always means you're brittle in the face of unpredictable failures.

That things weren't worse is a sign that the world adapted to the new working situation very effectively.

Tell HN: Campus in Spain for game dev teams (free and all costs covered)
Here is a potentially great opportunity for game development teams and small companies, completely free, all costs covered, and no strings attached.

This coming summer we are running the third edition of F2P Campus in Spain from July 18 to September 18. This is a not-for-profit accelerator for free-to-play game development teams that covers all your costs (travel up to a certain amount, an apartment for your team, meals, local transport, work area and even gym/swimming pool pass), with no strings attached. It is funded by local institutions, with the sole aim of fostering the local game dev ecosystem. It is open to teams from anywhere in the world (in the past we've had teams from Finland, Canada, South Korea, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, and Spain).

During the campus, we bring top industry professionals, such as VP-level executives, senior designers, etc... to mentor the teams. We have had mentors from the US, South Korea, China, and all over Europe: King, Nexon, Ubi Soft, Social Point, Scopely, Tilting Point, Zeptolab, and many more. Great advice & connections.

We already ran two editions in 2018 and 2019 and there are several teams out of those batches who have gone on to hit it big (one of the teams was just the 3 founders, and went on to get 250MM+ downloads, they're a 20-person team today and growing).

Here are three links for more info:

* 2-min video summary of the 2019 edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdkb8jG0ZZQ

* Web site: http://www.f2pcampus.com

Deadline for applications is June 5, so it's tight, but the application process is bureaucracy free - just present your team and project with some support materials.

Masking is effective until a person has breathed out enough particles into the room that anyone taking a breath will get enough virus particles into their lungs to statistically chance catching the disease.

Even with a well-fitting mask, a sick person will saturate a rom with virus particles given enough time. When you account for lousy cloth masks with only 10-20% effectiveness that rapidly drops to effectively zero combined with n95 masks NOT being recommended for children, of course infections would occur. Put them into a little room and in close proximity all day, and we should probably be surprised that the infection rates weren't even higher.

I'm a lefty and have found cursive very comfortable (and I'm also both an underwriter and an overwriter.) Perhaps if you're a sidewriter you get the worse experience of pushing a pen.

I definitely find writing a nicer experience with a pencil, a fountain pen, or a felt-tipped pen - ballpoints require too much pressure to be comfortable.

The victims are the developers and users of Defi products caught in the contagion. Such as when a developer hardcoded TerraUSD deposits as equalling 1 and the whole project gets arbitraged out of existence due to the mispricing.

Gullible buyers of TerraUSD (pre-crash) directly don't share this courtesy.
I do realize this, but going by the 30% rule on 100k a year is still $2,500 a month on rent.

It should be possible find a place on your own for that much.

I will also say that for myself, I am below that 30% marker for what I pay and make. Even with the $500 increase I have mentioned. So either that 30% recommendation is broken, or something else is (I mean we all know that housing market is broken so no reason to dance around it).

So yes I do realize that inflation matters, but 100k is still a lot of money. There are entire families that live on less than that. And yet, the idea that I make well over that and want to live on my own is entitled?

And yes I do also acknowledge I live in a city, but I also don't have the expense of a car (monthly payment and insurance) or the gas to run it.

This is very broken. Yes my $1,500 a month towards medical loans is not helping my situation, but that is also why I am below 30% for rent.
No this is just Elon being Elon (seeking attention at any cost). There are always parts of companies that need people on site to do x or y job but for the most part the pandemic has forever changed how work is done.
