The argument for dooming hybrid is much simpler than this. Hybrid work asks you to live nearby, and to commute; in return you get to escape your home life (kids, spouse, family), and you get access to free cans of soda and bags of chips.

That's all the pros and cons. It doesn't fundamentally change the work experience itself because in any given conversation at least one other person will be having their remote day, forcing the interactions to take place in a remote-friendly way. You can sit at home or sit in the office, but you're still a remote worker. Many people, especially younger ones, won't take the deal. They have no family burden to escape and everywhere else to be. Therefore the return to office is all or nothing.

Any company doing hybrid right now really wants to be fully in office. And they'll boil the frog to get you there.

More interestingly, what will new companies do? Financial momentum is in favor of remote work. The burden of proof is on new companies to justify why they should reduce their runway by 25% and limit their hiring pool by investing in an office in some place. If there really is an advantage or an efficiency to in-person work that could otherwise be remote, we will find it shortly.

1) As said, its not uncommon to act impulsively, followed by more logical decision making after. From your examples, I dont feel listing a few impulsive cases removes his ability to act logically. And the sequence I've guessed seems the most likely in my kindly eyes.

No. The distributed cache product was GemFire, which was derived from the cacheing strategy used in Gemstone/S and Gemstone/J. There was a series of aquisitions and I think Pivotal owns it now.

Gemstone/S is an ACID object database that uses a modified Smalltalk data model and a Smalltalk dialect as a the data language. If you are developing for it on one of the supported client Smalltalk platforms, the experience is magical. eg. if the GS Smalltalk throws an exception, it can be caught by the front end and the debugger call stack display (ST doesn't unwind the stack when searching for a handler) shows both like they were on the same machine.

GemTalk Systems has a free trial that works with Squeak/Pharo as a client.

For example, when Twitter finally provided access to the eight developer 'APIs' first explicitly requested by Mr. Musk in the May 25 Letter, those APIs contained a rate limit lower than what Twitter provides to its largest enterprise customers.

You took the words right out of my mouth. For all the exact reasons plus the fact there's far less distractions at home and the really big one:

I get _so_ much more work done working from home, the extra wins I get each week actually makes me more enthusiastic about my job, I have more time so I have less imposter syndrome and because I'm getting more sleep - I remember more.
Griffith is an American citizen and he spoke at a crypto conference in Pyongyang. That’s a little more nuanced than the “US imprisoned an Ethereum developer.” You’d probably be guilty of evading sanctions if you participated commercially in any kind of industry conference in NK.

The difference between coinpayments.net not serving the USA and Binance ignoring sanctions is that one is a political statement, which everyone should be free to make, and the other is a crime.

As a result, all of Binance's business in the USA and many of its allies might be blocked, its employees might find themselves see criminal charges or be barred from entering the USA (or many of its allies) and the company might find itself fined with its international assets pawned off by the government if it can't it won't pay the fine. If those assets include the cryptocurrency they bought on behalf of their users, that may mean that they can't actually their customers pulling back.

Furthermore, the USA might decide to include Binance in its sanction list, making their customers liable for much of the same problems.

Depending on how the government approaches this situation, this can crush Binance and a large part of the crypto industry with it.

Nobody cares about the sanction list of coinpayments.net.
I wonder if that will maintain going forward. All the doctors I am business partners/friends with advise their kids to go into commercial real estate/tech/law/finance/engineering.

They say declining pay and difficulties negotiating with bigger players such as governments and larger and larger healthcare employers in combination with the bad quality of life at work no longer make the costs of becoming a doctor worth it.

Ask HN: What stack for a multiplayer board game?
What tech stack would you use today for a multiplayer board game?

- 1-6 players per game
- Round based
- Only one player can be active at a time
- Multiple games happen at the same time
- Optimally, non-technical players can spin up their own server to play on (e.g. via Electron app)
- Optimally relatively cheap

For communication I was thinking about websockets, but this would limit the amount of parallel connections / games a lot.

I am thankful for every comment mentioning libraries / stacks and why I should consider them.

This is completely wrong
Oh I agree, my point was rather that the haphazard way of handling this by the PyPi folks.
It is always interesting to read how different such brands are perceived in different countries. Over here in Germany, Lidl is considered "the better discount store" as compared to Aldi (especially Aldi Nord), and has made a push to more high-level products (which often are better than name-brand stuff that they also carry).

When I talk to British friends, the idea of shopping at a Lidl seems to be sacrilegious to them. Still, when I went into one somewhere in Yorkshire before the plague, it was pretty much what I expected.
Original objective of a decapitation strike in Kyiv failed. All the forces committed to the north of the country have been destroyed or retreated.

Ukrainians have slowly been driven out of the south, but have generally held the Russians at the Siverskyi Donets river. Spectacular footage exists of the failed attempt to cross it with two BTGs which were entirely destroyed.

And the big failure is political: Sweden and Finland have been driven to immediately join NATO. Attacking Ukraine has moved NATO's border eastwards. Countries adjoining Russia and Ukraine and Belarus have decided they need to arm themselves rapidly. Russia has been cut off from replacement supplies of Western goods, and can no longer e.g. make cars.

The war will continue for the forseeable future, like the war in Syria, but with gradually reducing intensity and slow pushing back by the Ukranians.
Yep. I can't help but notice almost everyone who wants to go back has a private office with a door.

Obviously, home office space quality varies wildly, but a whole lot of people who spent their careers until 2020 in open floor plans suddenly got private offices with a door.

I'm not saying I'd never go back to any office, but I'm not interested in a bench desk in big open space again.

This author's writing style is hard to read at first: do they support in-person work or remote work? Unclear.

Their last few sentences clarified the whole thing for me. The office is an institution separate from where it is physically, and management will work to recreate it (possibly in a new form).

A Map of the Empire of Language as a Place of Struggle (2011)
I'm an Ian Bogost fan, but this is a very mixed article. It correctly identifies the need for control of office fans (and companies) and the reluctance of Big Tech to abandon their massive investment in all-inclusive officeplexes. Nonetheless, it provides nothing concrete for supporting that this reaction will endure.

I think there is no way we are going back to the 100% office life for most workers, as we are not going back to horses and carriages.

I'm a hybrid worker departing my position to go full remote. It's not that I hate the office, but it's so wasteful for me. My worst work is done in the office, and my best at home. Coming to the office feels like an anachronism - collaboration is inefficient because of the noise, meeting rooms are crowded (and I waste 5+ minutes to resettle on a new room) and peers are annoying when they chitchat (including passerbys distracting me).

Junior team members, the ones that are supposedly most eager to come to the office, are working from home more than the allowed maximum.

The only exceptions I'm seeing wanting to come every day are brand new hires who need constant help, the odd office environment fans and people who have poor work environments at home (small children).

I think it would be misguided to completely discard the office, as they can serve well in some scenarios including occasional "bonding get togethers" . And for that we'll see highly flexible hybrid, or largely remote, becoming more and more common.
If you're making a comparison to code, then DNA is just so much more. It's an approximately four billion years old legacy codebase, where execution depends on so much more than just one "line".
Elite Capture https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1867-elite-capture is a short book but gives some good ways of thinking about these and other processes as a systems problem.

Also addresses how “elite” can span multiple dimensions: belonging to a socially dominant class, caste, having higher levels of education, being an “influencer” etc.

You seem to imply that right-wing policies and the 2nd amendment are inherently anti-intellectual or "dumb", but this is too easy an explanation and dehumanizes the ones you disagree with politcally / morally.

I mean to invoke Godwin's law, Hitler and the Nazis were intellectuals that followed evolutionary humanism and followed Darwin's theories of evolution / "social darwinism". Just because they were morally abhorrent doesn't mean they weren't intellectuals.

Economically speaking China is the enemy of occident, probably bigger than Russia.
I was talking with an electrician about electric cars and he said the neighborhood/city electric grids aren't prepared for everyone to come home at 5 and plug in their cars. Thinking in terms of bandwidth, each neighborhood's circuit is woefully oversubscribed and the thought of a house pulling a ton of current to charge a vehicle was not planned for.

It seems you either ignore or lack understanding of how penal law works.
My understanding is they disabled access to data that was stored in the US, and their intent to "ensure due process rights are respected in the event of an extrajudicial raid" seems reasonable to me. Uber's lawyers say that no data was deleted and can still be obtained by law enforcement.

If I was pulled over and had my car searched by police, I would not expect them to use my keys to then search my home without due process. If I felt that was a risk, I think changing my locks is entirely reasonable, as it doesn't prevent a legitimate search warrant.

I see this as hijacking a companies computers to export confidential data they were not otherwise entitled to from a foreign country.
In Texas, liquor (spirits) sales and non-spirits sales are different classes of licenses with different rules. Costco in Texas does NOT sell any spirits/liquor inside of the membership area, only beer, wine, and premixed cocktails (e.g. margarita in a bottle, which is made with agave wine not tequila anyway). The attached non-member liquor store is the only part which sells spirits, and as required by Texas law is open to the public without a membership.

Related to this, Texas also has "blue laws" which ended in 1985 other than the parts covering automotive dealers and liquor stores. So in Texas, liquor stores cannot be open on Sundays (nor can car lots). This is another reason Costco may be incentivized to not sell liquor within the member-only part of the store separately from the other requirements from TABC, because they are open on Sundays.
Could you elaborate? I didn't understand what this even means. Did someone named "Theodora D." in 1978 donate alot of money and now the chairs are named after them?
I disagree that point number 1 has been resolved by technology. As much as I wanted to believe otherwise, following some mid-pandemic soul searching, I decided that digital communication isn't a substitute for personal presence. In-person meetings allow much richer and higher bandwith inter-personal information transfer. You don't always need it, but when you do (for example, during whiteboarding), it's a huge boon.

> Maybe we’re no longer such people and can no longer be trusted with the responsibilities the Constitution requires of us. In that case gun control makes total sense.

The problem is, how do you determine who can be trusted and who not?

Let's take NY for example. If I would move to upstate NY, I cannot possess or shoot a handgun for the next 4-10 years depending on the county application procedures (because of arbitrary rules related to how long you've lived in the county, number of references, how long they've lived there, how long they've known you, etc).

On paper, I'm the "perfect" person to allow to buy guns (if you're going to allow anyone to buy them): good job, stable relationships, no criminal record, no kids in the house, no mental health issues/records, good education, and extensive existing firearms training. If someone with my "profile" is, in effect, prevented from buying guns, then which regular citizens should be allowed to buy them? What more can the approving body (government) really ask for before the process is considered insane or abusive?
Thanks for the heads up on this project. I use Calibre but I find it highly idiosyncratic. This fits my needs better.
"Academics" usually means "university faculty or people working in research labs." These people tend to make low wages compared to typical industry positions. PhDs also don't tend to open too many doors in industry. At the major tech companies, they are roughly equivalent to 3-6 years of industry experience. They might make a resume more attractive, but you end up going through the same hiring process and largely working on the same stuff.
Its not the age of the person, its the experience level. The PCI internal compliance people (who were consultants) had never configured a server, never did sysadmin job of any kind, maybe they programmed something in college for a project 25+ years ago. All of the InfoSec audit/compliance people that I ran into gained their knowledge from books, not from experience. So when you challenged a "requirement" with an alternative or why in that system it didn't apply they had nothing to go on because they didn't understand the technology or how it worked.

Anyone with experience doing sys admin work will be doing that - or if they are in the infosec space they are probably doing pen testing, etc. using their skills and not consulting/compliance work.

Competence isn't the priority, the rationale for management to hire consultants is it moves the responsibility elsewhere to a firm that is blame-able and fire-able.
I see you point, but being childish in backing out may not mean much if you feel you're overpaying $14bn, or if not him his funding partners. People have a much stronger emotional response to losing something than gaining something.

It works on all images in Safari on macOS as well. It's actually been helpful but was very odd when all of a sudden the functionality appeared out of the blue.
The ability to read and have intellectual pursuits is, unfortunately, a lot lower on the Maslow scale than home/food; I mean if you live in a socialist country where you don't have to worry about these things if you're out of a job that's great, but most (western) countries no longer have these safety nets, or if they do exist they're inadequate.
Most graduate school debt is due to master’s degrees and professional degrees (e.g. JDs, MDs, MBAs). The vast majority of PhD programs are fully funded, fully covering tuition and providing a (modest) stipend.
FWIW, I have another entry in the same genre: https://github.com/majewsky/portunus - Seems like there really is a lot of pain with LDAP to go around.
I am amused by how clear it is to spot those that didn't even bother to open the link. All of them, no exceptions, could be summarized as "I am completely ignorant of what's actually being talked about and I am not really inclined to dig deeper into it. Anyway, let me interject with my worthless opinion and find a way to make this about me."

But then again, perhaps this could be a meta-commentary about how American hyper-individualism makes everyone's worldview so small that they can not see anything but themselves, and yet this somehow "works"?

Perl certainly suffers under 'TMTOWTDI' with libraries. Go to CPAN, ask a friend, hit stackoverflow, you're gonna find something, but like with PHP, there's probably a bunch of libraries you shouldn't be using or have been superseded
You're not wrong. Firefox really is always in last place for their features and Mozilla is entirely bankrolled by Google. So sending donations for trying to fund the browser is pointless as it is not going to that.

Mozilla is not leading in standards; always following big tech. It is now on life support as users do not care about using Firefox and have already declared Chrome (and the other derivatives) the winners. It's not even the first loser, which that is obviously Safari.

So I'm afraid that ship has sailed when it comes to the browser wars. It just went from one behemoth (Microsoft's Internet Explorer) to another (Google's Chrome), and Mozilla did nothing as everyone celebrated Google Chrome's dominance.

The US is at least 20 years away from ~70% of cars being electric.

In that time, ~50% of people could be either not commuting or commuting in some other way than by car.

Maybe in some countries, but where I live the taxi monopoly was removed long before Uber existed and Uber managed to outcompete with VC backed price dumping plus breaking the law.
That's a pretty broad statement about a broad field. Can you provide any citations that back up your position?
It's like this in Germany. The taxi companies essentially formed a cartel and its illegal to compete with them on price - they all charge exactly the same. This is why a taxi ride from Munich airport to the center is 120€.
It's a nice toy, but I doubt its practical value as in design you deal with color palettes, not standalone colors. I might be wrong, but my gut feeling is that "the most popular" color wouldn't necessarily end up as a part of the most popular palette, or even in top 5.
“But officer, what about all the times I didn’t speed?” is not a winning strategy.
The problem is also the title. It treats the killer as a non-agent with no free will, and is an implicit justification of political violence. "The crime that killed Abe" is known as "homicide", not "predecessor's political decisions".

For some reason the idea of my company using my email and calendar for stats like this bugs me a lot more than the idea of just reading them directly.
When special interest groups can get you cancelled, they are in a position of power - criticising them is punching up - this is exactly what one of those jokes refers to: that trans people/groups often have white privilege, or some kind of institutional support.

That said, suggesting there is a binary power structure is incorrect in the first place.
I've browsed libraries in recent years, I can't help but think "Where are all the books?". There were a lot of fairly low shelves but... it wasn't inviting at all to browse the books or sit and read.

If I ever get filthy rich (low chance lmao) I'd build a traditional library, organize book clubs / reading lists, the works. Make it a social hub of sorts.
