The only reason I got hired at MAGMA is because I was able to apply & work remote.

I am pretty introverted + slightly autistic (not self diagnosed). I do a lot of customer facing work too, which I would never endure when not working remotely. But working remote means I can just turn off when I'm not feeling so great. Presenting is a lot easier... Approaching people, also, a lot easier. Just send them a message on slack/teams/discord. Before that I would have had to muster the courage to talk to certain people. It's a lot easier to onboard as well, given the change in environment is much smaller.

I feel SO lucky that I just happened to apply for this job when COVID and remote work started.

I think this remote work has equalized the playing field in terms of attractiveness & height aswell, as those qualities are far less visible when
interviewing remotely. Wouldn't be surprised if we see the average height of high paid workers decline due to this.
From what I understood the thing described in article are more or less fancy electrodes. You still need the usual electronics, PCBs and powersource to do the actual measurement. So without developing sufficiently small and flexible electronics, battery, and electrodes for connecting the electronics to the rest of e-tatoo you don't get anything of the promised unobtrusive, continuous measurements. As usual press release is dreaming big when only small fraction of the problem is solved.
Working in government, we're seeing a larger amount of folks leave within a few months of hire. I had never heard of that before COVID.

When I started here years ago and not remote except a one day a month telework option, it took weeks to get involved in a project. Everyone is laid back and wants to give time to acclimate and understand the place and the project first. My PM told me basically, "Hey I hired you for algorithm development, but just look around and see what's needed, what's interesting to you, and from there pick what you want to do."

That might sound awesome, and to me now with experience it is the reason why I stay here. However, as a new employee, it made me super neurotic to not have any sort of direct tasking. It felt like I didn't have work and wasn't being assigned any. I think if I had been remote it would have made things even worse; at the time, one of my saving thoughts was I could be there on time and be seen looking around Confluence or reading to learn about the research topic.

I would definitely be interested to hear how folks onboard freshly hired junior devs onto a project or team, how much direct tasking they give, how much time or how they allow for adapting, etc.
This is something I have been trying to do. I made https://websitescenes.com for that purpose but maybe it’s not giving the impression I had hoped. Also considering open sourcing some NFT tooling I’ve been working on. Super open to ideas here. I think about this a lot.
That is not true. AMD and Intel both routinely make custom chips with far more of a modification than on-package RAM for far smaller orders. See for example supercomputers where they will make custom SKUs for barely a million units.

Switching manufacturers when they get faster gear is a normal practice.
Agree and the second film was most egregious.
posting from a throwaway account -- I worked at a few audience measurement companies, DNT was never looked at -- completely ignored. The reason was simple: all upside to ignore, no downside. Regarding fingerprinting -- I know firsthand the places I worked at considered it, and rejected it. Problems are: too cumbersome, they do not persist over long enough periods to be useful to the industry, and they cannot be shared with other companies in the data marketplace. An adversary can use them short-term, but if an adversary has the data to do that, they probably have additional more accurate means at their disposal. Also, in my view, academic papers on this subject always seem alarmist and naive, and methodologies have problems (lack scale, have selection bias, lack ground truth, overlook persistence over time, etc.)

{edited} - the way DNT worked in practice led to a very misleading, and harmful effect. Standards should be designed with stakeholder incentives in mind.
If it isn't a bit late, you might want to reconsider the name as it clashes with an existing web project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_(web_browser)

Not a commonly used one in my experience, but still actively maintained.
Your tattoo probably is the allergen.

It happens with mine too occasionally, it's more noticeable if I'm hot or if I've not moisturised recently.
I've worked for Teamsters Local 284 as a loader and unloader for UPS. Everybody talking about Amazon propaganda, you haven't seen anything until you've seen Teamsters propaganda. You feel like you've joined a church, it's ridiculous. And I've never in my life worked at a place where there was an outwardly combative relationship between management and staff. No cooperation whatsoever. I wouldn't go back to the teamsters because it's gross and creates dysfunction.

My wife worked for the National Education Association for 15 years. I can't recall a single positive comment that she made about the union. The way the contracts are structured, educators get locked in to their home district after 5-10 years. They are useless for mediating anything but issues that are already written up in the contract and the ability for loafers to coast for the entirety of their career is commonly discussed and real. She would avoid the union because it coddles losers and doesn't lift a finger for staff dealing with real issues.

The only partial success story with unions that I'm aware of is with my brother, a lineman for AT&T. He's had that job for almost 30 years (through a variety of telcos ultimately renamed AT&T) and has been a member of the Communication Workers of America. He talks about endless frustration with the union, that the reps are useless and that the contracts they negotiate are terrible. But he does have the ability to tell his management to fuck off if they ask him to do something dangerous (which happens rarely but enough to matter) and he takes advantage of that from time to time. He might re-up for a union, i don't know.
Did you change your micronutrient makeup, or reduce sodium more than proportionately to the caloric drop?
> Carb-heavy diets are tied to grain-heavy cultivation.

Not as grain-heavy, at a national level, as if grains in the diet were replaced with animal products. A calorie of beef was required quite a few calories of grain.

Nobody is saying it isn't.

It's about trying to get to the core of the issue, not just the random speculation going on in the article and in this comment thread.
You can be anti-union, that's fine. It's even legit to be pro-union but to say that for you personally, you're such an amazing performer that employers are fighting over you and so maybe the union is good for most but not you personally. For example, maybe NBA players would make much less without the union but LeBron personally would make more. Maybe you're the LeBron of developers! (There's no debate on whether bargaining collectively leads to greater leverage in negotiation overall. It clearly does.)

And you're also not the person who wrote the initial comment.

But it seems dishonest of them if they first said:

> I fail to see how any of the things mentioned in the article are "intimidating and harassing"

...but to then shift the goal posts to saying that yeah, okay, the things left out would be intimidating and/or harassing but they just don't believe the allegations to be true.
> LinkedIn has always been a mess.

Given the shady, spammy shenanigans LinkedIn used to get their network off the ground, I'm not surprised the place has continued to be a mess.

I deleted my account fifteen-odd years ago, and I've never regretted it.
I prefer a general polymorphic solution to optimize for global simplicityand consistency rather than lots of different ad-hoc simpler solutions that are more complex and/or less composable altogether.
When I was working in an office I made sure to buy a mechanical keyboard with soft-ish switches (Cherry Brown, IIRC). People still commented on my fancy clicky keyboard, but no one complained (to my knowledge) about the noise.
I'm not sure I understand what it is exactly, the page mentions QEMU so I assume it's emulating a PC and booting Windows on it? So does it mean that they've compiled QEMU for a Javascript target and packaged it in Electron?

If so, does it mean that it's a generic PC emulator in electron that can run any kind of PC-compatible software, including other OS?
Good luck. Windows 95 (despite it's best attempt at being a "32-bit" OS) has a limit of somewhere < 512MB of RAM.
Yep, I used to be more productive WFH when I was already acclimated on a team. When I joined a new team and it turned fully remote, my productivity dropped and it took me longer to come up to speed than if I were in the office.
Just to head off the obvious question: it's linked from the (also rather enjoyable) page 'Motifs in the James Bond films'.
Wow, its based on v86 which "emulates an x86-compatible CPU and hardware. Machine code is translated to WebAssembly modules at runtime in order to achieve decent performance."
After more than 25 years in the biz, I agree completely. Debuggers are great and occasionally needed, but for everyday debugging I just write to the console or dump different output right into the web UI. Have debugging output in the exact same context as real output is also very helpful! That is, the debugging text and graphics will have the same fonts, placement, etc as the real code.
That's true of course. What's interesting to me is that they've decided to pay for this access and visit the links so quickly. It must be pretty expensive or hard to get if only around two-dozen companies pay for access to the data[0].

Very convincing methodology.

Ask people on subreddit and LinkedIn a question. Then write another article based on 'I swear, dude'. Link it as a source for this 'article'. Write the rest of the 'article' by imagining what the world has to be like, given your poll is a source of truth.

Follows my favourite format of 'journalism', where there is some arbitrarily chosen data source, followed up by series of 'interviews' mixed into one single 'story'. I'd expect nothing less from a management and HR expert in marketing.

Hopefully we can see some ornithomancy next!
if majority of the people above you exist to ensure a butt in the seats policy. then yeah you ain't wrong. remote work is just about workers doing their jobs remotely. it signifies worker empowerment - right now the workers are in control. and the corps hate that.

PR firms and middle managers are working over-time to ensure that we go back to the previous model where we all commuted in daily. But the labor market is dictating things atm.

Junior workers will always struggle at a place that doesn't support Juniors to find their own way. some people picture juniors as half seniors. forgetting those roles are completely different in their own way. It's the same reason mid level developers are so much in demand
You can also stimulate it directly by stroking the scalene muscles of the neck which lay over that nerve.
If you have a trust fund you'll do just fine.
I'm happy to see Ukraine become a candidate for EU membership. Let's hope they manage to comply to the requirements in a short time.

Putin also seems to become more insane by the day. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to do a preemptive strike against some EU country, that isn't in NATO.
Are seniors who are hired remotely in a company productive almost immediately from day 1 with no orientation?
I certainly agree it's not an ideal option, if one exists at all. What you propose is a different path that could be taken, thought I'm not sure the outcome would be better. Just different.

I have left many discord servers because I could see a repeated pattern playing out in each - immature kids posting edgy content was sliding rapidly into sincerely held extreme beliefs, and polarizing members into either leaving or buying further into it. Those smaller non-public communities are breeding grounds for extremity and the problems there, while quite different to the problems faced in wider open internet discussion forums, are also quite severe and IMO heading somewhere very dark medium term.

I recently came across a Tom Scott tweet that at first I reacted dismissively towards, then on reflection realized it was kinda the same thing I just mentioned: https://twtext.com/article/1316099118792572929#

I guess the problem there just shifts from where a bad actor can potentially lie - In other posters is one thing, but in the overarching administration of the forum is another place. In wider public areas those moderators/administrators can be flawed people, who attract a lot of flame (legitimately or otherwise), or an uninvolved automated system, which then pushes the issue back down to the posters again. In private smaller communities the lack of sunlight combined with the potential for bad actor (or uninvolved) moderation only intensifies that problem.
For me to draw even a simple ascii art it takes more time, attention, effort than any graphical. I can't crop, can't mirror, can't rotate, can't zoom, can't add secondary or any color for that matter. I know the process is slow, and obviously not efficient by any measure. yet I do it and ...

I love ASCII ART. Its elegance is in its simplicity. To be able a draw anything from simple boxes[0] to Mona Lisa[1] to Porn[2] using nothing but bunch of plain ascii characters just blows my mind. To craft is to hand place each character, at its right place without disturbing anything around, which feels nothing less than crafting a glass-piece.

currencies dont experience inflation... it's prices which inflate

a currency is "devalued" by, eg., money printing, only in the sense that eventually the new cash drives prices up

when speaking about "inflation" we're always talking about some sets of prices... even in the case of "general inflation", this does not mean global prices for all products -- it means a certain subset, eg., CPI

so the GBP can maintain its value in many senses whilst the person-on-the-street experiences CPI.. the value of GBP isnt only in "general purchasing power relative to market relative to baskets"

trivially, arbitrage opportunities do exist, markets aren't perfectly efficient.. so there can be cases where UK CPI inflation is "ahead of the global curve"
Work at a company that's not going to PIP you doesn't regularly PIP people. Opt out of the rat race and work at a smaller company.
Why "especially when you're young"?

Arguably, any consumption activities are better done when old, and investment activities when young. Effort when young pays off with tons of compounding over your lifespan. Effort when old is not as important, and so pure consumption non-productive activities are probably better enjoyed when old, are they not? Especially if it is something like videogames that doesn't exactly require some great physical abilities.
At least a second monitor tends to be super useful, especially if you ever need to refer to documentation or another file while coding.

To add, while this study isn't measuring actual productivity, people say they expect/feel like their productivity increased 40% with a second monitor:

There are some fairly recent versions of Gecko that have been backported to Windows 95. I played around with RetroZilla a few years ago on Windows 95 and was able to get many modern sites to work. The K-Meleon project has even more recent work in this regard. It'd probably be easier to start with Gecko for this work than Chromium.
I'm a native Spanish speaker and most, if not all, people I know use "Estadounidenses" or "yankees" (colloquially). I do see "Americanos" used in translated media though.
You're missing a very key point of this work:

> Carbohydrate restriction is currently the only whole-foods approach that can reverse a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

Carbohydrates break down to glucose in the bloodstream, the same as pure sugar. For a large and growing number of people, low-carb diets are not simply a means of weight loss.
This sounds like you think it's ok for companies to exploit workers if it keeps costs low - is that really your intent?
I've found that creating the k8s resources manually in a local KinD/microk8s cluster and then spewing the resulting YAML to be much easier than typing the YAML directly.
The key is in the way you're looking at it:
"I have more in common with conservatives than the progressive activists"

You didn't compare conservative activists with progressive activists, or conservative activists with progressives.

If you're comparing the mainstream views of one side with the extremes of the other, (or worse: a caricature of the other side that you've been told about) then of course you're going to find the other more extreme.
Thanks very much; though I'm from Europe, I left too young to experience unions there, so it's always enlightening to learn more. I have also understood from other folks that in much of Europe, unions have more of a seat at the business table as well, planning jointly for company's future and mutual success. Sadly, the unions I've experienced in North America have been much more "us vs them" in attitude and contract. :(

I think I am correct in my judgement that playing World of Warcraft for 300+ days of playtime was not a good use of my time. It is a failure of my past self for thinking that was a good idea. People make mistakes all the time. I don't believe anyone who says they have no regrets at all. You live with them though.
> 2. Pay a cloud vendor to supply a working, managed Kubernetes cluster.

... which makes it trash IMHO. I don't see anything intrinsic about the problem domain that mandates a completely uninstallable unmaintainable Rube Goldberg machine. But having it be that way certainly benefits the cloud vendors who push it since it keeps people from escaping big cloud costs and using simple commodity VMs, bare metal, or colocated stuff.

Complex is the new closed. It can be fully "open" but it doesn't matter if mere mortals can't use it.
Sure, but again, parent said "Network access" which I assume includes internet (global), local network or any other type of sockets/connections, not just "internet" ones.
HackerOne has _no_ obligation to try to sort this out? Frankly I think it is largely their responsibility. They agreed to pay him. They should be trying to meet that agreement. Instead they are apparently ignoring his communications (which of course is not required by any legislation). Frankly the way they're acting is disgraceful. I don't understand how you can defend them.
A glitchy mouse sends the message that a company is not willing to spend $35 on a mid-tier Logitech mouse for the benefit of a resource they are likely spending six figures on (not just in salary but other costs).

If they are making this easily fixable mistake, imagine what else they're doing poorly.
Founder of Slite here, your reply is spot on, we try to be as honest on the pros and cons of remote when we think internally of the future of this market, and when we share our research or insights outside.

It's not all pink, and our mission is very much to remove the roadblocks, so we need to acknowledge the issues that prevent remote from being seen as a no brainer
by some teams today.
No, it's not. You simply use a contrived definition of exploitation that begs the question. Anyone would agree that a set lord monopolizing all the land and asking serfs to enter serfdom contracts for the right to till it is exploitative, and a similar mechanism is at work. It's all a question of degree.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, the ratings make me very happy! I approach all comments positively, I will consider them all. <3

This is great, can you install other software on it?

If so it would be actually quite useful in science where old computers are used because of old software used to run old instruments. The old GC-FID i used during my PhD ran on windows 95. If that software could run on electron they could actually get some modern hardware to run those old machines
My mouse and keyboard together are less than $75. A Visual Studio Pro license is ~$1600. I think I'm still coming out ahead.
I think it's just how the environment is set up. If the company sets you up for success in remote work, there might be some sub-optimal things, but it will work out. (Remember, not everything is perfect in the office as well).

If the company does not accommodate for this properly, then you will fail. Experience will help you compensate for some of these shortcomings, but that will also only go so far.
If you're starting a fresh project, maybe have a look at Lit[0] also. It is Google's "anti-framework" which is about as close to bare metal web components as you can get. It's delightful.

I am not attempting to take a side in either direction here, but I noticed something interesting about the format of your reply in contrast with the person you're replying to. The person you were responding to broke their post up into paragraphs that were organized into sentences (sort of like you'd expect in a book). Your reply seems to be broken up into individual paragraphs that are >240 characters (coincidentally the same character limit as Tweets).

I don't mean this as an attack. It seems interesting to me that the way people can communicate in writing can be influenced by what type of media they consume.

I don't see Ukraine's EU membership application mentioned at all. Ukraine has been granted 'candidate' status by the EU. There is no timetable on when, or even if, it will join. For reference, Turkey has had this status since, I believe, 2005...
