I really empathise with the mother in this situation, it really does sound awful.

I’m currently going through something similar, but on the opposite side of the fence. The courts have generally found in my favor because I’ve kept meticulous evidence of my wife’s abuse and how she involved the children. If it weren’t for this system, my life would be destroyed.

What can possibly be done to make the system more equitable?

The experience has made me truly believe something is fundamentally broken in our society with how we raise children. It takes a village, yet the western world runs on a two parent system that inherently creates conflict when it comes to career opportunity and so much more. It can’t be a coincidence that the divorce rate is so high.
I was going to say "Long Black Veil" but I realized that one's about a man who's hanged for a murder he didn't commit (he was in bed with his best friend's wife, and refused to use that as an alibi at the trial).
Anecdotally, it's specialized. In the past five years I've put a tremendous amount of effort into improvising variations for 18th-century Scottish music (…don't ask) and have noticed that things slow down and from my point of view I have all the time in the world to think about what I've played and what should come next. But for the audience I'm zipping along at 480 eighth notes per minute.

Meanwhile, I'm absolutely useless at anything involving sports or a fast reaction time.

I'm reminded of the section of Peak (Anders Ericsson) where chess grandmasters were excellent at remembering board positions from real games and completely average at remembering impossible board positions.
I interpreted the capitalization of 'THEOLOGY' as an alarmed objection to the comparison.
The bigger cost would be a rent equivalent on a home office. That's probably low five figures annually.

But I don't agree with the overall conclusion. Ultimately the cost of an employee boils down to one number. If they have to pay 15k for home office rent then salary will just be 15k less.
A Practical Introduction to Dynamic WiFi Frequency Selection
Then you have two different energy storage areas plus two different drive trains, and the associated weight gain that implies. Hybrid road vehicles make it work because they have the weight supported by the ground, plus the additional benefit of regenerative braking, which evens out energy usage in stop-and-go and hilly travel. Planes don’t work at all in either scenario.
If you had a strong regulatory framework, it seems like it would suffice for the law to include "it must be possible to install an alternate OS image without the use of tools [other than cables supplied with the device]; completely wiping the device may be required to prepare it for an alternate OS."

I don't see it being a good tradeoff to make hundreds of millions of users take the action and wait out the delay of an OS installation so that tens of thousands of users can feel more smugly guaranteed that they'll be able to install an alternate OS. If you're willing to guarantee an install is possible, allowing a default OS installation seems consumer-friendly on balance to me.

Ask HN: Indy Game developers, which game engine do you use?
The article makes 2 main points: 1) that this lawsuit will cause companies to take WFH away. and 2) It's extremely difficult to bill things like fractional electricity and internet usage.

The first is a flimsy premise because companies simply don't have the power to take WFH away and I think they know that. If they did, they would. But the collectivization for WFH, brought by lockdowns, is far too powerful. So powerful, in fact, that it's a hiring advantage for your competitors if you attempt to bar WFH.

The second point is just lazy. Billing for fractional usage is not impossible nor difficult, and you can bet if a company was billing a customer for fractional usage, they would have it down to an exact science. In fact, the resistance on this point shows the weakness of their position from the first point.

I do have some sympathy for the people who like to go to an office and interact with people face to face. But we've been operating with their preference as the default for a long time, so they can learn to adapt now.
I heard somewhere that the speculation was that the cerebral cortex is physically next to your eyes, so a big brain stunts your eyes... anyone know if there was any truth to that?
The point the are claiming is that resellers don't produce anything or add value. They would almost certainly agree with your Chinese/Amazon analogy and also condemn the resellers doing that. It's a common opinion among those who build stuff for a living and aren't responsible for marketing those things.
The Economist is a British publication and in the UK we use "shortsighted" more than "nearsighted"

I'm using PyCharm in i3 daily, and it works great.

There was a bug around input focus of certain Windows once, it had an immediate work around, and Jetbrains fixed the bug in a reasonable time frame for the probably pretty small percentage of users on i3.

Jetbrains IDEs are not the greatest example for why free software is better; they actually a rare example of proprietary software working really well.
A lot of the electric (mostly fuel cell) aviation startup industry is funded/supported by currently profitable aviation companies. The 1000hp motors for them are, like the airframes, one of the mostly off-the-shelf elements of their development.

I agree that even modern batteries are pretty absurd for any human scale flight, though scaling laws make smaller aircraft more reasonable.
> Are you ignoring the 'perpetual fallback license'?

I'm not ignoring it, I'm just not a JetBrains user for reasons outside of cost. I happen to like emacs and donate to different parts of the emacs ecosystem.

Most of my development is scripting and writing a lot of glue code which doesn't benefit tremendously from an IDE. If I found myself working on large enterprise apps or doing a lot of java programming, I'd give JetBrains a look.
Its a technical decision. Nobody is forcing them to do anything.
> The near work hypothesis, also referred to as the "use-abuse theory" states that spending time involved in near work strains the intraocular and extraocular muscles. Some studies support the hypothesis, while other studies do not.[3] While an association is present, it is not clearly causal.[3]

This is what I meant. The GP comment included "and thereby not focusing their eyes over longer distances", which I interpreted to be in contrast to spending time indoors and looking at things close to you. So it's not that things far from you are protective, but specifically variety seems to be. So I think we mostly agree.
$100 for a tool that enables my career is completely worth it. There are two issues:

* Freedom - my workflow is centered around modifying tools to suit my use case. OSI open source makes this easier sometimes.

* Ubiquity - I detest spending time updating license keys, figuring out if that key works with the version I downloaded, finding out that new-feature isn't available in the version I paid for, or wrangling with how many computers my license will allow me to run the tool on. If the trappings and enforcement of monetization weren't present, I'd spend a lot more money on software tools.

Aside: I worked on a team managing build infra at one point, and just getting license servers and license files set up so that CI could leverage proprietary tools was a major, sustained effort. I know personal tooling is more lightweight, but the same dynamics are present.

So my investment in tuning Emacs feels to me like an actual investment: I've gotten really good at tuning Emacs for various uses, and the time I spent on that has made me a more effective engineer in some ways. I bring Emacs to every job I work and even if I end up using JetBrains for e.g. Android dev, I still have Emacs in my pocket for text editing, Magit, org mode, dired, and shells/terms. I don't feel the same way about time spent managing licenses for proprietary tooling, or even learning this particular company's git tooling; I just keep using Magit. Maybe others don't feel as strongly that their preferred tooling be "everywhere", but I really value it.
Yes! I'm experimenting with this right now with a very bright, color temp adjustable, high-CRI photography lamp, and the difference is, well, night and day. There are several good posts out there on the subject.

This luxurious assumption only holds if the person has worked remotely prior to the pandemic.

And that evidence is the state of the cosmos today?

Are you a software developer? Imagine that, for testing purposes, you want to test a particular state T in a simulation app that you believe can only occur organically after a large period of time.

Do you start the test simulation at a hypothetical t0 and wait to reach the desired state? Or do you simply bootstrap the simulation so that it starts in state T.

Well, you do the latter of course. So do the events at t0 need to occur for you to observe state T?

The course is "Introduction to Reinforcement Learning". We make no claims that you'll be writing papers come the end of 4 weeks! :)

Really interesting reading that Norvig's piece. I agree with almost all of it and think what we're doing at Delta Academy lines up with most of it!

Particularly:

> The key is deliberative practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it, analyzing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting any mistakes. Then repeat. And repeat again.

This is exactly what we do - providing weekly challenges that stretch your ability (that also happen to be fun), discussing the approaches taken by teams & giving expert feedback on code.

And his recipe for programming success:

> Get interested in programming, and do some because it is fun. Make sure that it keeps being enough fun so that you will be willing to put in your ten years/10,000 hours.

> Program. The best kind of learning is learning by doing.

> Talk with other programmers; read other programs. This is more important than any book or training course.

> Work on projects with other programmers.

Again - team projects which are fun sound right up his street.

The most important question is... does it makes money.

If yes, then reselling is totally possible. The price may be lower due to the shape of the codebase, this is a discussion to be had. There are definitely people interested in taking this kind of system and keeping them alive longer, if not investing in straightening them out.

All depends on what value they find in them.
Is this supposed to link to a specific article?
I'm going by your definition and example of simulation.

The answer to your question is that it takes a super computer to simulate 5 atoms interacting with each other. And the simulation won't be real time either.

So reality is not "simple" enough to be simulated accurately.

The simulations that do exist are gross simplifications called models and in no way accurate to what's really going on. Those models are usually application specific and are only relatively accurate within that scope.

You can make an argument that human intelligence can be simulated by a application specific model, however your statement of the universe being axiomatically premised in simple rules is categorically wrong.
I have always seen this in opposite direction.

Computers shut the door on all human skulduggery. Humans are terrible at arbitrating fairness. Even when they think they're being fair, they are not.

Why are you only considering the upside of having humans in the loop, having the heart to wait the extra second for the filing? What about the human that looks you up and down before making that decision? What about the human that wants a bribe to take your filing? What about the human that's in good or bad mood?

Your conception of humanity is off.
I agree with you generally but there’s also the question of whether an expense is reasonable. Should you be expected to put a desk in your bedroom and have that be sufficient? I live in New York and have an extra bedroom for my office, should my employer be forced to pay for that instead?

> Except the hardware and ecosystem of those suck in comparison to The Big 2 (iPhone and Android).

Yes, and the irony is that Apple can afford to develop impressive hardware thanks to their "vertically integrated" offering. People like it and spend a lot of money to have it.

Why don't FOSS phones have the budget to create this kind of experience then? Maybe there are ways for this to be improved, or perhaps we shouldn't try to decouple a phone from the ecosystem it was created for.

A lot of money and energy is now being pointed at trying to make Apple and Google loosen their grip on hardware. At the same time (in my view), this would not address the root cause, which is that there are no effective means for economic advantage generated by foss software on proprietary hardware to find its way back to the community.
Nope! Myopia isn’t related to natural light. It’s the eye growing in response to over focusing in peripheral vision.
That's a really good idea. I've been thinking of what I could do as the first little reference project after I split up the engine and project code. I think a small world with text chat and games like tic tac toe would be perfect.
> My personal hypothesis is that companies are doing an organized, long term pull out of offices, but are resisting doing it all at once because they'd impact each other's commercial property values. This confusing state we're in is purposeful.

I doubt it, because most companies rent their space and they wouldn't care about the impact to the building. I think your premise is flawed:

> There's always that minor percentage of employees who cannot develop successful patterns to work from home. As the pandemic showed, these folks are the minority today.

Sure, maybe most people can develop 'successful patterns', but that doesn't mean that most people are most productive at home (in the eyes of company heads). The term 'successful patterns' is relative given the situation, and right now that means doing the best we can given the circumstances.

Also unlike with sea where efficiency gains from hybrids out gain the mass and volume losses, same doesn't apply to air.

Also, some of the engine types like turboprops are pretty good already. And hybrid systems likely won't make gains and probably even lose quite a bit.
The answer I heard is because part of the initial salary negotiations the employer/employee should have already factored that in.

However, it could make sense that if they initially worked from home, then had to start commuting, the company should pay for gas, car maintenance, tolls, public transportation, etc.

Then, the same goes in reverse, if the worker agreed to the salary working from the office, when forced to work from home, they could make a case of the company having to pay for monitors, a desk, electricity, a faster internet, etc.

As others have pointed, there are better researched works that can be useful on the topic of dealing with one’s own mind.

>This doesn't really mesh into the existing aviation industry, so proponents of these small electric planes usually propose creating new markets entirely; e.g. Uber for Helicopters. But I'm pretty skeptical that laws will allow regular operation of these in residential neighborhoods for long, if at all.

I can see it becoming more of "Greyhound for Helicopters". Practically every town in the US greater than a few thousand population has at least a local municipal airport. With electrification, aviation can become so cheap that all of these fields will just have a few commuter size electric aircraft that feed into to the rest of our existing airport infrastructure. And with the planes being so small, there's really no need for TSA security or anything, it becomes as simple as buying a ticket on your phone and hopping on the plane like a bus.
The coordinate system reminds me of an interesting trivia I read from The Old New Thing:

The issue is sometimes (maybe often) the children's testimony is in fact tainted and should be ignored. Here in the US there's actually a surprising number of high-profile historical cases that involve children being manipulated into false testimony, see for instance the McMartin preschool trial.
That means people with cheaper commutes get paid less than people with more expensive commutes. Why would you do that? You’re effectively rewarding people for living further from work and driving less fuel efficient vehicles, which both makes no business sense and is terrible for the environment.

Except for core functionality, everything in JetBrains' IDEs is written as plugins (grammar checking, themes, support for Go/PHP/Ruby/Python/Android/framework of the month, the list goes on). You just don't notice it because of good integration with the rest of the editor (unlike how it's done in Eclipse).

Those can be (and are) developed by anybody. For example, IDEA has had absolutely the best Rust story for many years, and the Rust plugin became official only recently. It was created and developed for years before that by a single developer not affiliated with JB (and still blew all other editors out of the water).
I run into this all the time at industry events. The Congressional ethics rules draw the line at “”reasonable hors d'oeuvres” but not “full meals.”
