> It's like you didn't even read my post, just looked for the hook to drop in and proclaim your superiority.

Seemed to me it was just a counter-point to your post. If you don't have anything productive to add, that's fine, but resorting to personal attacks doesn't really make your argument/viewpoint look better.

From my own personal experience, I'd mirror what the previous poster said. Most of the top performers in a remote setting (at least with software engineering) are usually also a top performer in an office setting. Does that mean there are not outliers? No.
Note that such organizational costs would apply also to just funding OS without any PR. I would not count it as "promoting the deed".

How much more they needed to spend to make also blog post PR and other PR stuff, in addition to donations?

That sounds like the kind of get-out I'd expect from a US company, or any other company with no significant assets under GDPR jurisdiction. The GDPR defines "legitimate interest", and that isn't one of them.
Maybe I'm just going insane, but I have extreme deja vu about this comment and its replies. Did this post and its comments get refreshed or something to look new? I swear I read all of these verbatim a while ago.

I tried it not long ago with kids in the house. It was extremely onerous to prepare different meals and despite being very rigorous in my induction phase, I lost no weight and felt constantly nauseous. I found it extremely difficult to get enough calories because I just couldn't stomach all that protein.

What word would you suggest to use, then?

Discussing individual chemicals by name is inefficient, confusing and almost certainly requires scientific citations to be remotely worthy of discussion.

Going by groups of chemicals is a bit better, but then citations are largely not applicable.

There are no synonyms or near synonyms. The dictionary definition of ”chemical” (noun), however, is explicitly clear:

1 : a substance obtained by a chemical process or producing a chemical effect

2 : a drug

I posit that the person saying ”chemical” is not being lazy, they are being scientifically accurate while enabling rational discussion.

It’s anyone saying ”but EVERYTHING is chemicals” that needs to check the dictionary.

I think it's unrealistic to suggest Verhoeven had anything subtle in mind. He had a line he wanted to spout, and he did it.

> just to save some developer time

That's actually the #1 reason to use any of these bloated development environments. And it's also the reason why it's so popular. But I agree, here we are, getting angry at bitcoin because it uses so much energy, but if I would need to guess, could it be that Discord and Slack _alone_ use more energy world-wide than the entire bitcoin network? Those are on 100% of the time on most PCs.
> to defend speech that ends up driving people away because of either direct overt bigotry or, more often, a pervasive use of dog whistles

Q: Who gets to determine if something counts as a "dog whistle" or a "trope"?

I don't find the typical usage of either of those terms ever contributes much to honest debate.
(quoting book)

Amanda Nock, a tech leader and devops expert who posts frequently to Twitter, offered this in response when I posted on Twitter about how to hire good people remotely, “When I hire remotely, I ask about their online friends.” Nock doesn’t need the details of anyone’s online friendships, but she needs to know that the person has developed a serious friendship online; otherwise that person probably doesn’t communicate easily and naturally online, so working with them remotely is going to be difficult.

Nock says, “I often hire remotely, and I make a point to ask about what people's online lives are like. No details. If someone, for instance, has good relationships on Twitter or they're active in a Discord server, that tells me they're good at asynchronous remote communication. I don't care if the Discord server they're active in is a furry community or whatever, the details don't matter — the skill for forming relationships and communicating in a personable way over asynchronous text is there.”

(end quote)

But I think the opposite is also true: a lot of people do not easily form friendships online, and they lack online social skills, so they are not going work well remotely. These people are more productive in a traditional office.

From what I've seen, many people struggle to truly express themselves in written form. This includes well educated people. And those who are extroverted need to talk. Remote work tends to put an emphasis on written communication, and that is only partly offset by having a lot of Zoom meetings.
Does the question make sense on the level of sandboxing, though? I thought part of the problem was that the WASM VM doesn't even have access to the DOM itself?

In reality, the motor end should hit first, since free-falling objects usually rotate in such a way that the heaviest part is positioned at the bottom. The atmosphere could influence and modify this behaviour on other celestial bodies, but the Moon does not have it.

Honestly, they are cute, I like having them around, but we've got some feeders, and if there are house sparrows, there are no other birds. We've been tweaking the feed we use and the form factor of the feeders to keep them away. Since we switched to nyjer, they've generally left the feeder alone, and we get finches instead.
100% agree with you. If you listen to what food scientists are actually saying, they're almost always espousing fractional improvements with small tweaks to diets and the media runs with "You should stop eating X because Y" or "You should only eat Z" stories.

Any dietitian will tell you, the key to a healthy diet is moderation and variety.

Just wondering how this might be an attack vector for fucking with Bing... I can think of a couple of avenues; the most elegant would be if the URL itself triggered something within the scanner/URL processor; next up would be the content of the target page attacking the Bing infrastructure. I'd guess the backend processing is sandboxed, but it seems like an interesting avenue that a malicious actor might explore.

Don't try this at home, kids. :)
You’re right, of course.

That said, “ No Country for Old Men” and “Hell or High Water” are significantly better movies than “Taken” and “The Equalizer”.
> I think anyone who can’t work well remote, on average, will not be your top performers anyway.

This sort of overgeneralization just tells me we'll have people in 5-10 years "realize" that many of the benefits of remote work were just built on relationships and processes created in the days before. It's like the "open office" floor planning all over again, but with higher stakes.
Let me make a bet here: You are self-taught in a lot of ways, and in your spare time also like to fool around with software development stuff.

That's why you don't need hand holding. A lot of your peers do need hand holding to get stuff done.

I'm a 43 year old developer, and I can work remotely without any issues. Partly because my development experience was always broader than my job alone.
> Predestination

Based on the short story All You Zombies (which I've read, but haven't seen the adaptation)
Our company handled remote fairly well. The overall team/work organization has been poor whether remote or in office. In our case, the resignations have been driven by the fact that people leaving the company can get 1.5-2x their current salary. We have had a lot of other team member move to new teams at the same company too (hopefully I'm one of them in the next couple weeks).

Good luck at the new job!

That would actually be a pretty interesting experience to conduct using a panel of people with various amount of flying experience ranging from none to being a hardcore flight simulation enthusiast knowing everything about said plane on paper.

I would however allow access to a knowledgable pilot able to guide the test subject over the radio (assuming they figure out how to operate it) as you would certainly get in a real life situation.
I see your point. I believe that if someone is trying to do a job and their equipment is "glitchy" or some other technical issue it effects their morale.

Low morale = lower quality of work.
You're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

They don't need to build anything

They already have capacity, they have the distilleries and holding already built but sitting entirely unused, they just aren't spinning it up to purposely restrict supply and keep profit margins high. That's what we get with an oligarchy, the companies work together to control production and price.
At this point it's a reflex and that's what I hate about it. I've had to catch myself mid way through the reflex, when I turn to look at the phone and then turn it on and then realizing what I've done and then turn it off. To a third person, it looks like I've just checked if there's new messages or checked for the time. I've had this reflex and caught it mid way, when having important conversations with partner, friends, colleagues etc in the last two weeks and it's embarassing.

I am of the inattentive type so I am more prone to this reflex but I am also more mindful than most who doesn't actually go through social media at all. The reflex is most likely to just check HN or Reddit. Maybe you'll be more aware and notice this reflex in other people you're in conversation with.
As I remarked earlier, I still feel that the analysis undertaken here is too simple and doesn't take into account, e.g., artificial constraints on supply that create perversions in consumer choice and demand.
Because kubernetes says so? Can you run it without a load balancer?
Right ... And lenses are not. Imho a better comparison would be to (safe) pointers that can point to multiple, conditional positions in a data structure.

Example: in a game you want to update the health points of all enemies that are affected by an area of effect attack. With lenses you would compose a lens from multiple simpler lenses:

```enemiesAtDistanceToPoint pos radius = enemies . filtered (distanceTo pos . (< radius))```

and then you could modify those enemies:

```enemiesAtDistanceToPoint (10,20) 5 . health -= 5```

The benefit here is that you abstract the work of extracting the enemies and can reuse it elsewhere. Also note the lack of any loop to affect multiple entities.
>Even without the science... for me personally at 47 and a life long sugar addict

This is the tricky thing with a lot of health science., mainly diets or supplementation. In a random sample, and in aggregate, a lot of these things have little to no effect on the population studied, so we dismiss them. And yet, on an individual level people claim huge benefits. I fall into that latter group for some things myself.

Our biology is complex. How do we reconcile this? Doctors don't want to be recommending snake-oil, and yet it's possible some of these things could work for "you".
Good. I'm tired of having the presumed wonders of WFH shoved down my throat. It's great if you don't want to work and instead slack off at home but I don't believe this productivity increase myth a single bit.
I think part of it is the 'junior' part. If you have a strong workflow and confidence with what you're doing then it's easier to be independent

> It's really not a lot to grok, at least by most other language's standards.

Yes, but people have been attracted to Python largely because it's not like a lot of other languages. It is/was concise, simple, dynamic and fairly easy to learn. I think some of the new features, even if they don't make it a worse language, make it less "Pythonic", and so tend to undermine its comparative advantage. For experienced programmers the new features might not seem complicated, but python is used by a lot of people who are not in that category, including people for whom software development isn't their primary job.
It's maybe trolling.

This is true and MBAs love to put the costs somewhere else. The software only has to work well enough for my next bonus and line item on my CV.

As a senior developer, if working just in the office as was expected in the past I was distracted by things like a story about the weekend two colleagues are having in the background that sounds amusing, or the junior developer constantly spinning around on his chair to ask a question about something because "you're there". I always had time for that kind of thing but my productivity suffered and I was always frustrated by not getting enough done.

Working from home wasn't all roses either even though I got more work done. I was already doing a balance of WFH as a contractor before covid and that was working well for me, but when covid restrictions happened and I was WFH months on end, I really started to feel the lack of human contact and socialisation. That story about the weekend was something I suddenly craved to hear. My mental state would suffer because I had no life other than sleep, screen, sleep, screen, and then my productivity would start to decline as a result of declining perspective. I think I need some social contact just to stay calibrated.

Now I have a balance, a couple of days in the office, a couple of days at home, it works out well for me. I use the days in the office to catch up with the team, do any serious whiteboarding we need to do, and help out the juniors on the team with any questions they might have. I use my days at home to just crush out code with whatever music I want on in the background.

As you say I think it will shake out. I know some say that people have forgotten the value of hard work and there is a push to get people back in the office full time, but I think having people in the environment that suits their productivity the best is the way forward (edit - and to circle back to the point - taking care of mental states is important to maintaining productivity).
Everything is good and I like the new term SoftOps, but I need more examples of SoftOps in the real world or to me it's just DevOps with a different name.
That's what the Ninth Amendment is there for, hypothetically.

The Bill of Rights was never intended to be an exhaustive enumeration of even fundamental rights, and the Ninth Amendment explicitly says that you cannot ascribe significance to a right having been omitted from the enumeration.

That depends on the SCOTUS deciding there is an unenumerated right being infringed upon, and historically the SCOTUS has preferred to tie judgements to enumerated rights even if it'd be simpler to just say outright, "this is an unenumerated right", but still, we're not supposed to need to actually spell them all out.

In theory. In practice--
It's not "forbidding" something, really. "Shall not" could just as equally be translated to "it is inadvisable to", in most of these cases. The reason that is followed by reasoning of why such a thing is pointless, is because it is saying that something should not be common practice. It's setting a policy, not a regulation or law. A guideline for clergy to follow:

The reason for the act of communion and the dead? It was common at the time for someone purporting to be a Medium or related spiritualist or magician of some kind, to say that they could act as an intercessor. Sometimes with quite the hefty fee. They'd claim to distressed families that the Eucharist was required to save the family's deceased, and that through themselves the lost one could be saved.

In short, conmen are conmen. The church had plenty of con artists that they tried to work around. The church was telling their leaders not to engage with them, by making this particular policy. If the fees for Medium services had been less, then the policy probably still would have eventually been created, but it wouldn't have been part of such an important meeting.

It plays into the greater context of that particular Council - there were many people making claims to be bishops, or deacons, who were bringing with them a religion that was more syncretic in nature (combining existing religious beliefs), and the church was attempting to stamp that out and establish a structure to prevent it continuing. (Which they ultimately failed to do, as seen by the African diaspora religions).

Ask HN: Dropshipping?
I recently found out about this stuff or business called dropshipping. I wanted to know if there are any folks here who do it or have done it and how they research products to sell. Is it a worthy and rewarding gig as many say it is on social media? What are the challenges and opportunities?
I agree, and have to wonder what would happen if pre-remote some researcher tried to break it down to 'Computer Science Graduate' and 'Taught themselves on CodeAcademy'

I would bet the CS graduate is having a much easier time self-learning at home than the no-degree person who usually stops peoples work 12-15 times a day to get them to explain concepts or show them around the code, again...
A portfolio is a great start, but how would a potential employer know you weren't lying/plagerizing/etc without some sort of technical test?
This issue is really, really old. Well, the bible starts with it!

Hebrews had a predominantly meat-eating culture, where at first, roaming semi-nomadic herds dominated, and later ranching was important. Of course this also means their diet was skewed toward proteins.

The second "human" action in the bible (ie: not something God did), was when the first farmer, murdered the first rancher out of jealously.

A lot of people remember "Cain and Abel" and whatnot and forget that detail, that is very important, in fact it was the reason for the murder (Cain was upset sacrifice of meat was accepted and vegetables weren't).

The two cultures generate a lot of other political conflicts we have now.

For example: when you are a rancher, if someone breaks into your property, that someone can literally walk off with your food before police arrives. Thus they are pro private guns. While if you are a vegetable farmer the way to 'steal' from someone is taking their land, thus they aren't afraid of small individuals, they are afraid of corporations and countries, thus they favor the government having the guns, to be able to retake territory if needed.
Oh man. Now that I read this, I feel like I’m an idiot.

Of course I forgot to mention that while I was eating less I ALSO started taking walks outside for at least 30 minutes every day.

This is a really interesting development. The legal aid system in the UK has been falling apart for years and as of this week lawyers are actually on strike. The theory was that without proper legal representation it would be impossible to try people, since you would be taking away their right to legal representation, but it seems that some judges are just pushing ahead. I would be shocked if this doesn't cause a series of appeals that eventually affirm that defendants have the right to legal representation and can't be tried until a lawyer is found. Even before this strike the courts have been falling apart and trials have been delayed by months and years.

It's pretty shocking how badly the government have fucked up not only this, but basically every policy area now.
To me, the office mouse feels even more crippling than the crappy keyboard. I usually navigate through code by ctrl clicking on a symbol and then using mouse button 5 to jump back to where I was before, but my office mouse does not have side buttons.

On a related note, if you have never had a mouse with buttons on the side, I can greatly recommend trying it. Especially if you navigate through IDEs with your mouse and not the keyboard, i.e. you have one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard and not both hands on the keyboard.
I work in (state) government as well, and I'm noticing the same. Our institution is definitely like what you mention - "find your own work" kind of deal. It _sounds_ good until you are basically expected to find your own billable hours in Month 1.

My wife actually works in the same institute as I do, but in a different wing - my experience vastly differs from hers. I am basically full-time on one project with consistent billable codes, and she's expected to shop around to try to find projects with open hours, so she can get her 40 hours in every week.

She comes from the private sector, so she's admittedly put off by that idea, especially not really knowing anyone and not being well-versed in academic research as a career. I couldn't imagine being put in that position as my first position out of college.
