It is interoperable. As of iOS 15 (released last year) non-Apple products like Android phones can join FaceTime calls. I'm not sure how widely used that part is.

But, anyway, I've heard FaceTime be a synonym for video calling, so I think it's also pretty present, depending on your circle.
Dunno about that, everyone is trying to sell profitability and positive FCF nowadays.
supposedly they are powered by sqlite, so it has to be read somehow.

Hi,

This should have been fixed, thank you!
> few vendors got upset that I had their name in the address

No one got upset, but a record label was confused and asked me about it, and another company had their legal department ask me under what license I use their TM ;) In both cases a simple explanation was the end of it.

Yes, under a graceful live migration with no hardware failure, the data is seamlessly moved to a new machine. The problem of moving local data is ultimately no different that live migrating the actual RAM in the machine. The performance does degrade briefly during the migration, but typically this is a very short time window.

Thanks :)

taskfile.dev looks quite useful for project specific stuff.
Four walls and some people you care about, sure.
Isn't that the typical way of these companies signal hell out and then be fully neoliberal. Signalling after all is pretty cheap. Or at best couple million even for big companies.

I takes me 20 minutes to cycle in to work, pretty much, from home desk to office desk.

I can commute when I want and certainly I don’t ever commute when I have to — we have no mandated office attendance. I do a core set of “days” where I’m guaranteed to come in for lunch, at the very least.

I also come home early — dodging traffic — if the afternoon is looking like I won’t need to talk with anyone. Bunking off for the whole afternoon and doing a night shift of post-dinner to bedtime is also ultra productive, if the family let me, because of the laser focus I seem to get when there are very few people to distract me.

A short amount of light exercise away from the computer is so useful for the thought process that I’ve even commuted twice in the same day, though this is very rare.

Many of my colleagues have the same quality of life but a lot of them have also committed to fully- or mostly-remote, and you feel sorry for them being left behind. Too many decisions happen because they are either discussed in person, or ratified based on the relationships between people who see each other regularly.

Thinking back to my days of spending 2x 90 minutes on the 101 (the main highway in the Bay Area) makes me feel quite unwell.
I've seen those and have been tempted. I think I'd need two phones to pull that off. There are some things that require an iOS or Android compatible phone, e.g. most smart home stuff cannot be setup without a smartphone.
See, the problem is you used logic here, unlike senior management.
And why should that matter? Did he embezzle that money from Mozilla or something?
Great examples.

I believe we encounter second-order thinking in mundane day-to-day activities too which are generally categorized as 'instinct'; Say we drop the key under the table and we know before hand that we would hit our head if we get up under the table and so we crawl back(Or may be we've hit our head earlier and it becomes reinforcement learning?).

Then there are tasks which are totally dependent upon multi-order thinking like a game of chess (or) most other brain games.

I wonder if we could create a system to collect different second-order thinking decisions for different day-to-day activities to serve as a decision making tool powered by collective human knowledge?
It depends on personality and work I think.

The hardesr part of any job for me is the social part. I can get by just fine but meetings after meetings in person, awkward social events and lunches. People forming tribes and playing mind games aginst each other. That's any work place I have seen. Don't care for it one bit. I focus on technical skills since that is what is expected of me and as such a company could best extract value out of me by letting me skip all thay bullshit.

But if your job does indeed require you to form personal relationships and manage office politics I think office works out for you best. What is fulfilling to you might be bursensome and mentally taxing on others.

This is similar to open office work spaces, some people thrive in that environment while others can barely survive. It is impossible to manage time because of constant interruptions and useless time wasting things. Any productivity is a side effect of being lucky enough to squeeze a few hours in between driving, socializing, meetings and peoppe walking up randomly to talk.

I'll be honest 100% here with this regard: covid was the best thing to happen to me for my social, mental and emotional wellbeing.

You all need to stop expecting fishes to climb trees. Try seeing things from others' perspective. I would take a significant pay cut and more responsibility and move to a different location to switch jobs if that meant I would get the most wfh time. Balance is good and happy workers are positivr ROI workers.

I think once a week mandatory and another day in a week whenever there is a good reason to meet and work with in person is best balance.

Speaking of perspective, some people live with families where there is distraction and interruptions there as well so i see their view as well.
I concur, however I believe that feeling "in-the-know," while useful, only applies to some products. In my recent reflections on our referral programme, I've been asking myself, "What is it about the referrer's temperament that will make them want to refer?"
Here, being "in-the-know" is both useful and a method for someone to brag about their knowledge.

But when it comes to a charity referral campaign, it's not about being "in the know." Instead, you want to tap into people's level of compassion or measure of influence.
If I have to choose between open office and WFH, I will choose open-office 3~4 days /week. As I have kids, only morning time I can focus on work. Then, whole afternoon, I am distracted by them asking me to do something or some other random questions.

Of course, I am also distracted by colleagues when I am at office. It is also annoying. They do not care whether I am in focus mode or not. So, going back to the focus mode takes long and some times I couldn't until the end of the day.

Still, by answering their questions, anyhow I am unblocking them. When I WFH, I rarely get questions. Colleagues tend to send an email or slack and waiting my responses. So, my productivity may fall but overall productivity increases.

I do, however, hope companies move back to dedicated room culture. With that, at least I won't be distracted by others' hall way chats but questions.
Funding possibly - PR not likely as we dont work in Go. Will socialise and come back to you
Funny how in the south it never really started. The workplaces never closed.
>Finally, a software fad that I actually want to support! About time I get one!

Haha I'm waiting for those "SQLite in Rust Posts" :D
Nope. I'm lucky in that I have dedicated home office (ie. bedroom that we don't need for a bed), but I absolutely don't get sick of it. It's much better than even the dedicated offices with a door I've had at some previous jobs. It's comfortable, private, has a window, its climate is controlled by me, it's decorated the way I want (in my case filled with retro computers, my electronics workbench, artwork on the walls, etc). And when I get stuck, or have a hard time focusing, I can get up, go talk to my wife or son, play with my dog, lay on the couch for a bit, go for a walk, etc. Heck, even the 4 walls are painted colors I chose!

I've worked from this room for the past ~9 years, since we've lived in this house, and won't complain at all if I work here for 9 or 39 more.
So many chores get done too with working from home. Laundry, dishes, yard work, errands etc, all on my lunch breaks that would otherwise be spent scrolling the internet over a sad sandwich i cobbled together in 5 minutes at 7am. By the time the end of the day rolls around I'm actually done with work, not just work work but the home work that I'd have to do in the few tired hours that exist at the end of the day after you've finally commuted home and finished cleaning up after dinner. Plus being able to attend to essential business with fickle hours is a godsend. I am no longer forced to do all my banking and DMV business on saturday before 3pm when all these things close. I can do it in the middle of the week like a retiree and not hit any lines. Running errands in the middle of the day means I don't hit any traffic either. It's still a 40 hour work week, its just one that's way more optimized for my convenience, to the point where it would be hard to put a price on the stress relief it brings.
Do you mean the `HA db-f1-micro` or are we looking at a different pricing chart? I have a hard time believing that would even get close to double of the single db-f1-micro, and limits on memory would still impact both. SQLite can perform extremely well for heavy reads/low change datasets, but it is scenario specific. It's bad at heavy write/chatty workloads due to its single writer limitation.

Things have improved significantly over the past few decades. Once you have a prescription, you can independently buy your glasses from a discount seller or on the Internet. Most opticians also offer very decent pairs that are fully covered by social security, or that cost €1. The pain point these days is getting that prescription renewed.
Likewise, I've read all the praises of quaternions and I keep meaning to use them but I always seem to end up just using good ol' matrices. The only thing I've really seen that seems to specifically need them is spherical linear interpolation (SLERP :D ) for smoothly blending orientations, but I've never quite had to use it.
If you are in a recession, why are you maintaining an expensive office lease instead of taking the free office your employees are happy to provide for you?
Apple aren't dumb and they know exactly what impact this will have. I suspect this is Apple cutting staff without saying they're cutting staff.
"easily deploy Postgres", how easy? What are the point in time restores like? One of the advantages of SQLite is its portability, so why wouldn't I compare it to Hetzner cloud since my experience of hosting is _exactly_ the same regardless of provider? The same can't be said for Postgres, unless you go self install route. And all I'm pointing out is the trade off, SQLite is simpler in some situations.
Vevesta is a Collective Wiki/Knowledge repository with tracking and collaboration capabilities for Machine learning(ML) projects. Following are the USPs :

1. Feature Dictionary in Vevesta: Features (i.e. inputs to ML algorithm) discovery where data scientists can search features relevant to their project. This reduces the discovery phase of relevant features for machine learning projects.

2. Technique/Algorithm dictionary in Vevesta: Data Scientists, based on work of previous data scientists, can search algorithms relevant to their problem statements. This reduces the steep learning curve the data scientists face while finding, learning and implementing new relevant algorithms.

3. VevestaX: Open source library for automated check in of features, notes, code, algorithm used by data scientists using minimal lines of code. This is from inside the environment they are most comfortable with (Jupyter notebook/Python)

Printers in offices leave some hidden prints on any printed paper. That's how many people got caught, including a serial killer who used a library printer. Whenever one uses company fax machines, these faxes are recorded: some executive in the valley faxed a company report to some hedge fund, she got busted.

All outgoing and incoming mails in the corporate server are stored for some years; that's why large companies use third party for mail services, as these third parties are specialized in auditing, spying, etc.

The other way people exfiltrate is using steganography: convert normal files into images, then exfiltrate these images via USB, cloud, etc.

Maybe, the easiest way is just take pictures of documents with personal phone. That's why air-gapped environments don't let people with personal phones.
Just as losing money on bad investment or getting robbed or drained by ex-wife etc etc. But let’s call on Occams Razor and don’t focus some edge cases. Software development is well paying industry. We can’t bend over every single outlier situation which would be known to close friends only.

While maybe not obtainable for individual taking time off is still sound general piece of advice.

If you have bad tooth going to dentist is a a good advice. If you can’t afford dentist than it doesn’t make such advice bad.

For burnout recovery one has to get time off. There are some drugs that can help but they come with a lot of side effects and can actually worsen situation (depending on class of medication there is heightened risk of suicidal behavior or fired on the spot kind of).

Though when you’re lucky enough to be in a tight labor market it sure is a convenient filter for companies you don’t want to join!
It's super hard. Networking along with trial and error. The tech is one thing but you also need a great business person to lead the sales and marketing side. Once you find the right person you ride or die with them.

It's better to be hungry and scrappy than born with a silver spoon and well-connected, although the rare combination of raw ambition tied with excellent connections is the ideal.

Worst case you bust out but your skills are 10x from the FAANG clock punchers. Good luck out there

Docked compose up - that simple. I don’t see how using Litestream is any simpler than using Postgres.

With containers you’d have the same experience. It’s also trivial to move your Postgres database to another machine.

Not every product is in the experimental phase.

Google has a long history of experimenting with a product and then shutting down once they've learned enough. Maybe they learn it's not as lucrative, maybe they learn how to build the tech, maybe they learn they're too late, whatever. But it's experimental and the experiment doesn't prove to be the "next billion users" so it wanes and then dies.

Not every product is like that. Cloud isn't just some product on a spreadsheet next to IoT Core. The heavy players like Cloud, YouTube, Ads, etc, have massive investment, have dedicated CEOs, and are in it for the long haul.

Google's deprecation policy sucks, but it doesn't apply to every product uniformly.
I’m not defending them. This is just a market transaction. Apple is hiring from a smaller supply pool but outside of a Jony Ive level VP there is nobody they really need to hire.
I'm confused how any of those downsides are resolved coming into work? All of those things are just as liable to happen in person. To be honest meetings are a lot more to the point when done remotely. In person the first and last 10 minutes of a meeting are spent just pissing away the time on whatever, the presenters dog did something funny this morning perhaps. If you are having issues with onboarding team members or getting everyone on the same page, just have them meet more often over zoom to discuss projects. Having them come into the office comes with this assumption that people will meet up and help eachother and be productive etc, but in my experience most office chitchat is not relevant to work at all.
> I really like WFH. But I also enjoy working with people F2F.

F2F stands for “Face to Face”, for people in the crowd whose English is not their first language.
Honestly the only time I even really notice usernames is when I find one person who is replying to a lot of threads in a single post.

Often I notice it because they are repeating the same rhetoric over and over, and it's usually something I strongly disagree with.

Even in those cases, I haven't internalized the names enough to recognize them in other threads.
My employer offers furniture if you don’t mind the limited offering (2 chair models and 2 table models) through staples catalog. Guess it’s better than nothing.
The issues I've found with hybrid working are that a) people come in on different days, so it's not really the same as full time, and b) because video conferencing still sucks so much if you have some people in a room and some on Zoom, the ones in the room tend to give up on the zoom people and have side conversations because it's so much easier.

Also I can see it from the company's point of view - it sucks paying for a desk for only 3 days a week and everyone hates hotdesking.

I think office work is mostly superior for most people except for the commute (and also the ability to naughtily do house chores when you technically should be working). Maybe we should concentrate on making commutes nicer.

I think employees should also be given the choice of hot desking vs cold desking for an appropriate pay rise/cut. Nobody likes hot desking but I bet few would be willing to pay the actual cost for a dedicated desk.
Do you actually like having your health insurance tied to your employment?

To me it would be a huge worry if I lost a job and needed healthcare.
> It also doesn't help that there is a major release so often that whatever configuration you used 6 months ago is now obsolete.

(I'm on the Vercel/Next.js team) Could you share specifically what configuration you found obsolete?

> I really wish frontend react stacks would stabilize

Did you have trouble upgrading versions? Open to feedback. We frequently hear folks who upgrade from Next.js 8 to 12 with minimal changes, for example.
Here's one C/C++ targeting tool they cite that is kind of similar: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dstefan/pubs/brown:2020:sys.pdf

Must suck for Mailchimp to lose a big account, but I guess that's not suprising. Mailchimp is going down by a thousand cuts - they could have stayed a great company if they wouldn't have focused on growth so much (I mean they now offer online ship builder and appointment scheduler products).
Ask HN: May Lithium-powered drones be efficient against MRL's rockets?
I live in a country suffering from war and I have an idea to protect my house from artillery like BM-21 "Grad". I have several drones with ability to carry 0.5kg of weight, imagine if all this payload will be filled with some fougasse explosives.

The idea is to catch enemy rockets using information from military radars because this is the best possible source of information (other sources is considered as well, for example visual scanning with OpenCV detecting), then transmit information to drone using LoRa, then the drone is approaching to the rocket seing it from thermographic camera. When the distance between drone and rocket will be as close as 1 meter then to blow up the fougasse for not letting the rocket to blow my house. Sounds simple and very cheap, but why this is not a common approach?
This is cringe. As a se ill choose a company that's 100% remote over any other in office position anywhere 100% of the time no matter the salary. Been working remote since 2017 and life is infinitely better.
It's the architectural choices more than the language (one thread per core, async, event loops). But I'm sure the c++ does have some benefit over Java.
Haha I love this. It’s a love letter to SQLite. And what’s fun read it was.
You say that like we are just months away from another Great Depression.

Spoiler alert: we're not.
The great layoffs have begun. People are still talking like it's the Great Resignation period. The very best can dictate their work conditions, as always. The majority of the workers cannot, and remote work is not here to stay for most.
Going from that to "hospitals aren't trustworthy" in the context of newborn screening tests is a massive overreaction.
That's what they're banking on - people quitting instead of needing to enact layoffs and pay severance.
I like the idea, kind of like the best way to get something done is to ask the busiest person to do it.
WFH has been utterly depressing for me. I hate being stuck in my house 24/7. Going back to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays has been great.

I wouldn't want to go back to 5 days a week in the office though.
It would be cheaper for Starbucks to open a cafe in every office instead. And we've come full circle!

“SQLite in Rust compiled to WASM in the browser.” ISAGN…
Since MS decided to deprecate .NET Framework, making .NET 5+ the recommended basis for C# desktop development going forward. Yes you will still be able to run your old apps for many decades still, but you can never move to a newer version of the C# language and maintaining them is going to be an increasing pain as the years go by. I've already been down this road with VB6.
Working from home requires some planning and modification in order to make it work. Sitting at a laptop in the same room as your kids has a predictable outcome.

The specific changes required are different for everyone. Things like a separate room with a solid door, though, are a good start when you share a home with other people. Teaching your kids what it means when the door is closed versus open can really help too. Same with whomever is caring for the kids while you work, setting clear expectations up front is a great start.

The H in WFH doesn’t necessarily have to mean your house, either. Maybe it’s a local coworking space. Maybe it’s a nearby friend’s house. A coffee shop, a hammock in the garden, a local park. Whatever works for _you_.

The key, though, is that you have to figure all that stuff out on your own. There’s no facilities team serving you a one size fits all solution. It’s more work. The benefit is that you get something tailor made.
