The parent poster spoke of an idea of giving homeless a piece of land not a home. The BLM will sell you 660 acre sections in central Arizona at less than 1000 an acre. Stick 660 homeless on a parcel in rural AZ with no utilities or road access and they will likely all be dead within a week.

My point is that just giving people a bit of land will not solve homelessness at least not the land that is typically managed by the BLM. Not that the streets are not dangerous.

Even rounding up all the homeless in the SF area and sticking them on Alcatraz island would not solve homelessness.
Crinacle is probably the best, but for headphones I think it's the kind of thing you actually need to try out yourselves: the comfort varies so much for people, as does the preference for different sound signature (and knowing how well headphones handle when they're EQ'd to your preferences).
Whatever's next is just user-level PKI and DNS.

Can I roll a private/public key pair and use it to authenticate everywhere as the user BabyFarkMcgeeZax? Can I authorize Spotify to BabyFarkMcgeeZax/playlist?

In theory, I can use an OAuth provider for this kind of stuff, but then who owns what? Why can't I host my own content wherever I want and allow different permissions to it? Why can't I delegate certain things to some provider and revoke it when I want? How does anyone get paid for being such a service provider, especially with the idea that the data is host proof in some cases and thus can't be monetized?

Blockchains / tokens are trying to answer this question. Most are data that doesn't fit on a blockchain or are issuing tokens with arbitrary monetary policies and following them up with bad fiscal policy.

Thus far most of Web3 just requires some algebra to see a database that doesn't solve these problems.
I find myself constantly surprised in threads like this. The few times I’ve tried VR sets (including a Quest 2), I found the resolution to be shockingly low. It’s easy to overlook when the image is moving, which is most of the time in games for example. Just like Jurassic Park still looks great despite having HD res computer graphics.

But sitting stock still, I was so distracted by big obvious pixels. I can’t imagine trying to do real work with text at that resolution.
The problems with Jira can be extended to the rest of Atlassian and all of their offerings. Their company culture is very much one of "we're right, no matter how many people bring up the same issues." Things like:

- Shoving political messaging into git terminal messages
- Renaming "blame" to something else without notifying the userbase ("annotate"? It's been a while) because, despite "blame" being a git term, its usage hurt someone's feelings (yes, seriously, even though no proof or elaboration has ever been provided)
- Not fixing a bug for 6+ years where, if someone's typing a comment and accidentally hit the escape key, the entire post gets deleted with no option to recover it (I'm not sure if this ever actually was resolved)

That said, for a while, Jira had a lot of good things going for it. But by now, enough competitors have popped up with similar offerings that are easier to use without all of the unnecessary self-importance buried within it.

For a Jira alternative specifically, I've been using Linear.app for the last 8 months and enjoying it overall
I agree with others on the technical assessment. I'll at least give you some points for offering it after speaking to someone for an hour which a lot of companies don't do—it's a really fucking low bar. I don't know that I'm necessarily senior by everyone's metric, but I've been in development for nearing 10 years depending how you look at it. I usually count it as something like 7-10 if someone wants to scrutinize, because really I'm just an IC without much more responsibility. I'd do *A* technical assessment, but not a 4hr one, and only if the resulting career move would be really impactful or I'm desperate. I'm planning to do a full day of Amazon interviews at the end of the month just because I've never worked at a fang and don't think I'd pass, so it's a challenge and a healthy time risk for high potential outcome. There's nothing more defeating than doing a lengthy technical test for an arbitrary company, only to be told something like my formatting was bad while using HackerRank, or to have some arrogant Junior review the submission and have it not be to their standard. You don't get time back. I wouldn't work for my current contract if there was a chance I wouldn't get paid, and I ain't doin it for many others.

> Landlords will figure out how to setup wash sales, or as close to a wash sale as they can legally get, or trade property between entities owned by the same real people, or engage in swapping behavior with other large holders in a cartel-like fashion, etc. Closing all the loop-holes would be difficult.

Ah thanks for this criticism, the amount of loop holes would be pretty staggering/annoying.

"You need seven cavities filled"

Yes, I know they're talking about haggling on price, but it's more amusing this way.
The difference is that interviewing costs the company in the form of the time required from existing employees, whereas the company could ask 50 people to do a take-home project for free at essentially no cost to them.
That's nice, but it's just the display part. Now you need something to generate a high-quality display. Right now, the minimum hardware for that is probably a Playstation 5, which can run the Unreal Engine 5 Matrix demo. So you could do this now, tethered, with somewhat bulky headgear. Like the Star Wars Experience location-based entertainment system, which cost US$10K and required a backpack.

Carmack says all that has to be squeezed down to swim goggle size to go mainstream. Eyeglass size to become ubiquitous, like smartphones. Eventually, but it's some years out.

Meanwhile, we should see low-end standalone systems (Google Glass 3.0?) and high-end tethered systems with a base station doing the graphics.

> Sure, navigation on a bike is nice,

It doesn’t just have to be on bike. I would say walking directions are far more valuable.

Let’s take what I say is the Peak AR Device:

Glasses with Shuttered Camera + LIDAR, Bone Conducting Audio, Haptic Feedback, High Quality Microphones, & Smart Assistant.

Often when I’m out in the city and finding a new place I would rely on my phone. Often the GPS on my phone would be screwed since I was underground and I would have to look at the streets on the map to see where I am relative to where I need to face and go. On the newer models of the iPhone I can use it’s LIDAR feature to tell it exactly where I am , but it’s cumbersome to wave your phone back and forth. An AR glasses would already be scanning around, know exactly what direction your facing , and give you visual indicators of where to go the whole trip.

Let’s say someone who speaks a different language ask’s you a question like say directions , an often enough encounter where I’m from. With the strides Apple are making in their Translate technology (with much more to go), the translated speech can appear as text right in front on your screen. Let’s say the show you a piece of paper enter in a different language. That same translate technology can show you a translated page. AR , if we get there, will be amazing and all of the technology I said above already exist in mobile form.
Killer app for VR is new interface to computer imho
The person you talked about may have searched for the term, and knowing that you are friends facebook can easily assume that you would be also interested in this thing. It may also operate based on metadata of you have talked recently.
To be honest, at some point if someone wants to work at Google and can get a job at Google--especially if the name and/or the salary is what they really care about--it's probably in the best interest of a lot of companies to just move on.
This, extremely this. I wish we were more excited about volumetric displays or programmable matter, instead.
There are also derived versions of CLOS in other languages. Examples: Languages like Dylan and Scheme extensions (see http://community.schemewiki.org/?CLOS ).
"The tool can't do it" is an excuse. Excuses aren't tolerated. Now, make it happen.

Tools can't prevent bad management because bad managers don't care about tools. They care about getting what they want, and if the tool doesn't enable it, that's their underlings' problem, not theirs. Jira doesn't stand in their way because nothing stands in their way.
Damn, i cant think of behavior i dont want from a browser more than the browser not running on my computer...
And they include best picks that have actually been tested if you might not be able to afford the number 1. So many channels might make a passing comment about a cheaper option, but you never know if the quality is kind of close or just the best option for them to make some affiliate revenue off of. At least ATK has the pedigree to backup their testing claims and anecdotal evidence. Their best pick spatula for example, I've seen in every commercial kitchen I've worked in.
And what does the assumed digging into the memory usage find?

Automated property based testing for Rust
You won't see anyone here right now since they are too busy screeching about Web3 to notice that their webhooks and GitHub Actions went down again.

Last time this thing with GitHub went down or had another incident like this was just 7 days ago. [1] Probably that explains why companies like ARM to small projects like Wine did not move all in on GitHub and instead either chose cgit or GitLab [1] to self-host.

Once again, it makes zero sense to going all in on using GitHub for everything.

> why don't you think some other company has come along and toppled the Jira crown?

Jira is the way it is because Jira ISN'T built for developers.

Devs may have to use Jira, but they're not the ones who have to pay for it.

I wrote about this a while back:

"Who is Jira’s target customer? It’s certainly not the poor developer who struggles to add a link to his bug report. (I’m still mad at them)

Take a look at Jira’s site and see what they emphasize:

Those pages glamorize having an overview of what work your employees are doing. It’s a tool made for managers. Especially higher level ones. The VP won’t be filing work items, but they’ll be very interested in the insights those dashboards offer.

Jira spends all their software cycles building new features for that VP, ignoring what you and I might consider critical user bugs."

A lot of negative sentiment about Mapbox in this thread. I have been prototyping a (native) app powered by Mapbox -- would it be a bad idea to hitch oneself to their ecosystem?
rtings.com only covers a few categories but they cover those categories really well and they do a excellent job of testing those products.
Those startups are competing with other startups and ultimately VC money.

There's significantly more tech talent out there than the business problems that can be solved profitably with said talent.

When the VC money runs out and the "growth & engagement" engineering playgrounds close up shop we're going to see a massive readjustment. We're in the beginning of it now.
No doubt we're going to see a lot more announcements like this over the next couple of years.

Energy is too big of an issue, and there are too many proficient builders out there with an inkling toward nuclear.
I wonder if there's some correlation between rural dentists and quality of care. On one side you'd have the argument that they're probably in less need of money and so can be more honest, because if they wanted more money/patients they'd move to the cities, on the other, if they're the only business around they can do whatever they'd want.

I strongly suspect it leans toward the former though, as even a small town will have multiple dentists, and many of the rural dental offices are basically hereditary.
Skiff allows login with MetaMask and Brave wallet, lets you store files with E2EE on IPFS, and lets you send/receive emails to your wallet address. And of course you can pay for your subscription with crypto. There's no coin, because there's absolutely no need for one.
Is there any reason to believe reddit didn't/doesn't have this same exact problem?

I think Tumblr was singled out and made an example of because they had a narrower user demographic spread, particularly popular with young women. In cynical business logic, this made them a safer target for bullying than a site with broader appeal like reddit, facebook or twitter.
Did she have to upload her full ID or was she allowed to redact some info like the number or such? I'd be really careful handing out my PI like that.

For travel shaving I love the Philips OneBlade products. Light weight, works well enough and for a 3 week stay I don't even need to bring a charger. They can be used to shave any hair, should you need that. The only downside I can think of is that the replacement blades are expensive, but regularly heavily discounted.
Organisational forms matter - look at Ford

what if there is a org form (democracy) that is 5x or 10x faster better more flexible than the hierarchical one we are all living in? I mean we all work in modern companies. no one can believe this is the best that can be. But where are the experiments and new forms being tried out. And no, DAOs barely count.

THANK YOU, THIS ^^^

Any company needing to "Test" me, is an instant sign of disrespect. It means you already don't trust me so I don't trust you. Now obviously there needs to be some accountability, and I think a 90 probationary period is a perfect compromise.

When you are hiring senior talent, we aren't desperate or dying for your job. You need to sell it to us. You need to accommodate us. You need to make it easy for us. Assignments are a sure fire way to let me know you have no idea what you are doing, and don't have competent people on your team who would be able to just talk to me and tell i know what i'm doing.
would you like a take-home or would you like a whiteboard session?

I need to have useful information that a candidate is more than a smooth talker.
For the first 20 years of my career I worked with organizations that used Gantt charts and MS project combined with a dedicated project manager to keep things in sync with actual progress. It was minimally invasive to engineers and didn't require them to do the soul-sucking JIRA dance. It also generally delivered dozens of projects on time or with reasonable delays and surprises.

Even when working on 'buckets of tasks/bugs' where Gantt charts don't make sense, a locally customized version of Bugzilla or other bug tracking software(i.e. Phabricator or whatever) worked very well.

There is a generation of engineers that has only known Agile, 2 week sprints, and shitty software to manage it. After having used Jira at two companies for the last 4 years I can say it is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever been forced to use and lowers productivity from multiple angles.
It's a hot take but if you have more than 40 tabs open you have to fix your workflow, not pay 30 bucks a month to avoid the issue.

Shadow PC, Stadia, etc. have all been absolutely huge failures and they solve problems that requires a LOT more compute than what a browser needs, while being priced a lot cheaper and not having the same privacy concerns as Mighty.
Post the compensation upfront and get rid of your 4hr assessment. I would not waste 4 hours of billable time on a mere chance at a real interview after having already invested 1.5 hours interviewing with your company.

Lower the time commitment by 75%, and pay your candidates for their time on their ~1 hour take home assignment, or get rid of the take home entirely, and you won't have candidates drop out of your hiring process.

tldr: 1.5hr phone interview + a 4hr take home afterwards is ridiculous, especially if the compensation bands are a mystery. Stop expecting candidates to do ~4hr of free work and pay your candidates for their time.
> Isn’t there problem the people cramming those things in?

Yes.

However, the feedback loop for "that's a dumb mistake" both takes too long and is easily ignored.

Even with CRs, spaghetti code still gets written. There's no CR for a Jira workflow change. Further, the people making such changes are frequently unimpacted by them (or they like them because they are the aforementioned anal retentive process zombies)
(Author here) So, I've been running this exact same setup for my dev box and I think you're overestimating how often the whole IPv4 space is being scanned.

What helped me at first was that I only set up an IPv6 address, since I have IPv6 at home. Scanning the whole IPv6 space is impractical, I've never seen an IPv6 address of mine being hit randomly (unless there's a public DNS record for it, or it's leaked some other way).

But then I had to access my remote work environment from a laundromat (don't ask..) and I added an IPv4. I can see in the logs it's been woken up by some scans (some IP in the Baltics).

Moving the SSH server to a non-standard port won't really help here. Using a VM of the smallest size to act as a bastion would essentially solve the cost problem - that's something you can do on fly today. For even better solutions... there'd need to be some collaboration from fly-proxy.

I've been wanting to add /some/ firewall capabilities to it. If there were an API for that, you could run "knock" on another service, which would allowlist your address for a while on your actual "remote work VM" service.

I also wanted to suggest "just using ipv6" (set up wireguard, boom, you're now in the VPN of your organization, where your VM lives, so just don't allocate a public IP for it and you're good), but the problem there is that it currently doesn't wake it up.

Anyway this comment is a rich source of feature ideas, please keep them coming.
Robinhood is required by regulation to KYC their new account holders. Which typically is accomplished via doc auth.

This is applicable to all financial service companies, in the US at least.
Do you have more information on the Merino wool? I've heard good things about it but I'm not sure how much of that is hype. Is it really that good?
Yeah music like Four Tet is really nice for coding. I can also suggest Arms And Sleepers if that's your thing.
> Mighty comes in at $30 with a 9% discount with a 12 month prepayment

That is _expensive_, damn. For something that used to be free, this is a very hard value proposition. In some ways, this is why we live in a poisonous, ad infested nightmare internet, but it is just so difficult for me to whip out my credit card when I have safari right here instead.
I was wowed the first time I put on a VR headset, and I continue to be wowed every time I try it. But lots of regular people aren't sufficiently wowed to pay console-level prices for the experience, which to me indicates that the culprit isn't just immature technology.

> AR/VR is inevitable.

Calling a given technology "inevitable" shuts down criticism.

There's nothing inevitable about a technology that takes charge of our two most important senses (sight and hearing) at once. I think that counts as sensory deprivation to a lot of people.
Consider a purifier that purifies 99.995%. According to your "probabilities", that's a 100x improvement. Now consider this purifier purifies 1 cubic millimeter of air per hour. That is to say, each hour 1 cubic millimeter of air is 99.995% purified (no probability). Would you say that this purifier is 100x better than the IKEA one with 99.5% purification at 1 cubic feet of air per minute? Considering air flow is not a trick.
Heh I thought you were going for a 2. "there is no step 2" joke, or suggesting that you could just remove all your teeth and then have no tooth problems anymore.
> Jira is optimized for productivity theater and top-down management

Hit the nail on the head.

I don't hate Jira.

I hate working for companies and with "micromanagers" that prioritize bs metrics over improving customer satisfaction, and busywork over impactful projects. And these kinds of people / companies always use Jira.
And to private parties. ApeFest just started in NYC a few minutes ago. If you own a BAYC or MAYC NFT, you get to go to a rave in Manhattan today. Food and drink included.
From the article

> Apple’s restrictions on third-party browsers, and the limitations it puts on Safari/WebKit (its own browser tools) have hobbled “web apps,”

Though I'm sure you can also ask many product managers how well native apps on iOS perform due to web apps (many companies have data on both). For whatever reason, users prefer native apps

JIRA really doesn't encourage anything in any direction except writing down what you are up to in a reasonably friendly way. Anything beyond that is up to the implementors, and there is nothing in the world that can prevent bad top-down behaviour within a company.
Most of my problems are being solved by web3. Maybe you have different problems, the kind that facebook can solve.
Haha, sorry, but that's your politics showing.

Musk has always been a liberal/progressive and is a green pioneer.

The Democrats have decided to give him the cold shoulder, largely because he isn't a virtue signaling pedant.

No CAR company needs to have a public opinion on LGBTanythingelse. Make cars and sell them.

Woke is a mind virus progressives are willing to destroy our social fabric over. The sooner it and they are diminished the better
But of course destroying wetlands to build your house was entirely reasonable.

> So, no this proposal is preposterous, aside from being a nonstarter. Young people who might want it are great at making noisy protests and notoriously bad at bothering to vote - the one thing that matters, while older people, and especially those who own property, tend to reliably vote.

In other words, "let them eat cake". The "anyone under 45 doesn't deserve to afford shelter" attitude strikes me as a "fuck around and find out" situation.
What are better models?
How about "Sauron".
