Ask HN: Remote work is dead inside big tech?
Every couple of months, I come across articles from different publications that sound the death bell for remote work inside big tech in the US and beyond.
As someone who has been managing a startup of 40 -ish people remotely and following led a nomadic lifestyle for 2+ years now, there's no doubt in my mind that it can be just as practical or more effective than being inside of an office.

In a FAANG-like company that hav a complex organizational structure and connections remote didn't seem to find much benefit, except that employees liked it. The biggest problem for remote work is if employers of FAANG-like companies force workers back into the office. When there's a majority of workers in the office, chat groups die down, and there is an "in" group and "out" group that forms, with the complications that arise from that.

What do you think?
But the entire concept is that this is an adaptation to the fact that data may be added to or removed from the database. If that's true, there would be no benefit in jumping to a specific page - there's no guarantee that that page will display any particular data.
International money transfers cost money because complying with international financial regulations costs money. Crypto transfers are cheaper and faster because they evade these regulations, which is just a downstream effect of committing crimes being the only real use case for crypto.

To be clear, I don't think it's bad for you to use crypto for this purpose. I would do the same. I just think systems that allow anyone to evade laws are a net negative for society.
I’m not sure that a deep understanding of slavery and freedom on that level is possible for those of us fortunate enough to be born in a time and place without widespread open slavery. I’m not sure why an activist today needs to be an expert on that subject in the same way, unless you’re talking about historians or other academics.
Where have the unicorns gone? The IPO window has slammed shut
I didn't see anything specific about timelines. I would expect you'd want to offer both for some length of time, with some deprecation notice and a sunset date for the older approach. But perhaps they seem use cases in their logs that the current offset is used minimally already, and it's better to switch now vs later if/when adoption is higher?
Oh I agree mostly. CMake is still a practical necessity for the time being, and I also agree that from 3.10 or so it goes from an NC-17 slasher flick to an R-rated horror film. It’s so ubiquitous that “I will do nothing, because I can do nothing”.

Personally I’ve taken the plunge on Bazel and whoo, the first time you run clang-format, save, and hit in the cache on the .o, I mean sex is cool but have you tried building C++ fast?

But Bazel will probably never be the standard or even common, le sigh.

What we might get is something sane that generates CMake, so that it can generate Ninja, so that we can be bitching about CMakeGen in 10 years.
I take fish oils for brain health, since our brain is made of fat and the more (good) fats we have in our diet, the better it is for the brain. I also use MCT oil and combine it with eggs and use it as dressing on salad.

If I was going to use supplements for exercise, I would use protein, glucosamine (for joint health) and maybe 200mg of caffeine as a pre-workout stimulant to help me focus. Milk, especially 'protein milk' which they sell in my local supermarket can alleviate sore muscles.

Did you adjust for population?

> Really, the cost to educate a child should have gone down substantially relative to inflation given new technologies that make teaching easier and faster.

None of the technologies solved any problems, really. Math is still math. Reading still requires reading. Technology hasn't done anything but perhaps provide more access and information - if you're motivated, you have great options, but most children are not motivated like this.
I think you're right in that discussions need to be different for different parts of the country, but I think the split is urban and not-urban. A lot of California is urban, but so is a lot of New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, etc etc. as far as where the population lives. And all have similar problems when it comes to education.
You're talking as if "choices need to be made" doesn't extend to the question of whether or not they get enough tax dollars total, regardless of split between income and pensions.

But actually, you're the only commenter I've so far seen in the thread who claims that their pensions are enough to make up for their salaries. Personally I think both salaries and pensions for (most) teachers should increase, in most countries including the US, and I have no problem with teachers' unions not being willing to have a discuss boxed into your opinion that they already get as much as they deserve.
> The age of downloading content to your device is largely dead mon frère!

I hear that since Netflix came up. I'm pretty sure it'll be there long after Netflix is gone.

With all those 1-click-hosters it's easier than ever today.
There are an endless number of websites that stream virtually every show and movie for free in HD that you can access simply with a websearch and the proper ad blockers.
Infowars wasn't "given" influence. It earned it by making news for wingnuts. Putting wingnut headlines in the NYT would just trash the NYT, which is why they had to work closely with the government to craft messaging that would be convincing to their audience. It wouldn't turn the world into wingnuts.

edit: The world moves towards wingnuttery when outlets like the NYT knowingly (but deniably) lie about very important things, and make it clear that they would do the exact same thing again by not accepting responsibility. Then you've left the public completely adrift. Why not listen to Infowars? The worst they could be are liars.
I completely forgot that the GNU Make source code has a check to see if the shell is bourne-compatible (it just strcmp's with sh, bash, and a hard coded list), and then only applies that optimization if it is. I deleted that code in my Landlock Make fork so I could use shells like /bin/false and still get the optimization. So sorry about that! Give it a try with Landlock Make https://github.com/jart/landlock-make and https://justine.lol/make/
True, but HP was looking at different applications. I’m not sure why they didn’t pan out - at the time it looked massively promising.

Here they are playing with the analog aspect of it the same way we store multiple bits in flash cells, but doing math in their analog behaviour. Maybe the issue with using it for storage was long term stability, and this is not really an issue here.
an in house ad network that only targets iphone users and Mac users by default? yeah I would choose that, no question
As a father of 3 kids, one thing that gets lost in these discussions is the fact that some teachers are great and some are bad, like really bad. We need to give the good ones more money and freedom and the bad ones means and incentive to improve or find a new profession.
Ivermectin failed to help Covid-19 patients avoid hospitalization, study finds
People with kids will tell you how well "internet education" went the last 2 years...

This isn't a technology problem. Kids are still kids. Fortnite will still be more fun than doing math, whether that's on a computer or in a classroom.

No, "amplification" is not an all-or-nothing phenomenon. What I said is that there should be limits to amplification. Ruling out an extreme does not rule out the middle ground.

The way this works is that there are some questions that have clear answers. For example, anthropogenic climate change (or to be more precise, the idea that "Most of the warming of Earth’s average global temperature over the second half of the 20th century has been caused by human activities."). The middle ground fallacy is what you call it when you put up two people on TV, one who is an expert on climate change, and another who is just a contrarian, and where you don't frame it exactly as it is: one is wrong and the other is right.

That's not the same thing as this conversation we're having.
Next they will take down all iOS apps, because there is a prerelease version of iOS and all of the existing apps refer to that word.

Roughness is only included in the API as a default value if, say, a plugin, would access the data and create a material in an application. Then it would get an approximate roughness value, so glass is glossy, and concrete is rough.

There's however too much variability in roughness values since it's a property of an item rather than a property of the material itself, so a drinking glass could be very rough if worn, or very glossy if new. That's why I haven't added it as a property on the website.

Hope that makes sense!
I mostly agree, and think that In addiction to what you said “what’s up” is basically like pinging someone to see if they are available so that some additional reason planning can occur
Does that mean you have to scan the entire results set to get the right page? So if I am on page 100, I have to query pages 1-99 and discard them?

Or is there a trick here I’m missing?

>> a spinning disc in a vacuum would maintain energy indefinitely

> Assuming frictionless bearings perhaps. But what does that have to do with anything?

Thanks for this, let me elaborate. First, yes, magnetically suspended. That given, take a box containing some quantity E of energy in the form of petrol or TNT, whatever. Chemical energy.

Next take a box containing aforementioned disk, spinning with an energy also of E.

From the outside there is no observable difference if both they are left sitting on a warehouse floor untouched, however the box with E of chemical energy is potential energy, the box with the spinning disk has kinetic energy, according to your definitions. Yet they are indistinguishable from without. That's my puzzle.

I just passed 100 downloads of my app after 6 months and I’m thrilled with that pace. In that time I’ve been able to make sure my backend is solid, and talk with people to gain valuable insights. My main metric is excitement. If I’m excited to show people my app and they are excited to try it after we talk, I’m happy.
All the Dell monitors I've ever tried have worked just fine. Including the lower resolution models. On those, you don't get the Retina crisp display, but it still works.

Of course, I avoid HDMI like the plague. I only use DisplayPort unless I have no other option, and then I don't hold out much hope that the display maker did anything right.

There is no magic political move to increase fertility. If there was Japan would have done it decades ago.
Google has a team of non-lawyers with legal training whose job is to attend small claims court. They're not wasting an exec's time.
This sounds pretty typical for "analytics" workloads, which relational databases handle just fine. Maybe by "noSQL" they just meant something with column-oriented storage? But even that seems like it might be overkill, compared to setting up a couple of denormalized "analytics tables" to avoid the cost of complicated joins.
For all the cheerleading we do about democracy

Singapore isn't really that democratic though. Somehow it kind of works for them.

https://freedomhouse.org/country/singapore/freedom-world/202...

Singapore’s parliamentary political system has been dominated by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) and the family of current prime minister Lee Hsien Loong since 1959. The electoral and legal framework that the PAP has constructed allows for some political pluralism, but it constrains the growth of opposition parties and limits freedoms of expression, assembly, and association.
>Whatever studio created it probably has a copy of every episode on old tapes.

No, It was super common for studios to tape over old content during the early years of television. Plenty of stuff literally doesn't exist anymore.

I have HBO Max and it's worse than HBO go. I can't find anything there. And the stuff that they have is all negative mood or lbgtq crap that doesn't interest me, or superhero bs, which also doesn't interest me.
> 4. Many school problems are caused by disruptive children.

> Disruptive children are caused by parents who frankly just don’t give a shit. Throwing more money into schools won’t ever fix this problem.

Some. Most children I believe require an approach that the education system cannot adequately provide (for numerous reasons). Children are relatively malleable and in the right environment will thrive.
> Medicare is 13% of the US government budget. More federal money goes to Medicare than to the Department of Defense.

These are not measures of efficiency. Medicare outlays are about 30-40% of private insurance for the same demographics.

> the care that people get from Medicare is substantially worse than what you get from private insurance

And this is, in fact, not true at all. US citizens on medicare beat their cohorts not only vs. other nations but vs. private insurance in the US too. Don't make the mistake of comparing your corporate insurance for a workforce with a median age of 30 with what retirees in the private market have available.
> fund PBS as something of strategic interest?

Would have to rename it to Propaganda Broadcasting System.
Certificate expires on: Sunday, August 21, 2022 at 8:44:22 AM PDT

I don't know what it's going to take, and I had assumed that a big dedicated organization like Let's Encrypt would have squared this situation by now, but you should always, always, always make your certificates expire in the middle of a work day in your local time, never, never, never just exactly 90 days from this instant, which appears to be what happened here.
I think the point is that clients are not even given the option to think in terms of "page numbers".

What's the use case for needing the 100th page of a query result, that also doesn't allow you to cache the 100th page locally to retrieve it later?
"Researchers referred to the matter as cognitive EW, systems that use machine learning and other sophisticated tech to select a means of jamming, analyze its effectiveness and then self-correct to exploit identified weakness. The practice is different than deploying chaff, material used to confuse radar, or other more-common measures."
I don't know if the problem is mechanical or electronic, but my keytron k1 frequently misses and repeats keypresses. It's really not usable for me.
Where I'm from, it's because of coal mines. They saw their parents and grandparents do reasonably well (financially; health is a-whole-nother story) in the mines without a degree or with only a basic degree and they accepted that school wasn't necessary. Now you have people telling them it is, and doing better because they had more education. It gets to the point where they see that as not trying to screw them over but as elitism, so they blame those people that the options of the past aren't there anymore, and look to try to make themselves feel better.

Though lots of America is fundamentally based in anti-intellectualism. Anti-Intellectualism in American Life was an eye-opening read and helped explain a lot of what I saw around me in the rural Bible Belt.
This is a terrible take on friendship.
Given how fast that rights-owners are delisting things from Netflix, my guess is that Netflix doesn't want people to know just how fast they're failing.

And having stale search with "Show XYZ On-demand", and when you get there, it disappeared last Friday. That's never good.
Reminds me of a Princess Chelsea song
Interesting… what happens if new records are added with that 15 value? Do you need an implied secondary sort with the record created time?

Also what if there are more than $page_size records with that 15 value?
That is a fair point, indeed this would probably make the configuration page extremely complex.
I guess my suggestion would only work for cases where you don’t really care much about other kinds of notifications.
> extra benefits to subscribers who stayed long term.

Indeed! That's partly the model of many game subscription services (PS+, etc), where (simplified description) each month you're subbed you can add a few games to your catalog, and you can only play your catalog while you're subbed.
And I’ve never seen ads in my windows pro install… so ymmv.
Ideas are cheap. Implementation is the hard part!
This doesn't make the caste system go away, only try to make it a little less unfair in some areas of life.

as has been explained to you several times, you don't

> if you pollute the metadata cache with useless junk like this

the overhead is 0.0004% with 1 index entry per megabyte, and if that's too much that can be reduced by 10/100/1000/10000x that by changing the size

as we're clearly now going around in circles, I won't be responding again.
He probably hasn't, but we have to look at total numbers, not anecdotes.

What do countries with education systems that are superior to the US in almost every metric do with these kids? We need to look at the best way to handle it, not just how much we care in the abstract.
I so wish western europe catches up with japan, singapore, south korea. Despite a higher gdp per capita somehow it feels behind.
More so than ever before. The only difference is that it's all a lot more decentralized. The easiest source of information is from legal filings. A lazy way to get this it to search Google for whatever, and at the bottom it will state something like 'In response to US DMCA we've removed [x] results from this page. You can read the complaints here, here, here...' Read the complaints. Otherwise you can search for more select filings. For instance this [1] is an older report from the RIAA on "Notorious Markets." They're quite a friendly organization - providing URLS, descriptions, and details on each site even including their modus operandi.

Also if you happen to speak a language outside the big Western languages, then it's all trivial and a simple search anywhere will yield even better than above.

In the same vein, I would like an e-reader that has TeX or InDesign quality typesetting. I'd settle for Knuth-Plass line breaking with decent justification (and hyphenation).

At the very least, make it so that headings do not appear at the bottom of a page. Who thought that was OK?
In addition to changing cohorts that others mention - What are the chances the way you taught it last year is the most effective way?

Good teachers experiment - maybe something they taught last time didn't go over too well, how can that be improved? Can they make the material even more relevant this year?

Also, it makes teaching it more interesting, rather than regurgitating lessons. Teachers are human after all.
No, as The Fine Article explains it's actually "Seiner Majestat Schiff", or in English "His Majesty's Ship"
It would have been classier if they'd replaced the tab character with an emoji. That's what someone on Lobsters recommended, once I told them about .RECIPEPREFIX.
> It how do we share out increasingly scarce resources in a country that is getting poorer

In this instance, the resources are humans, and it seems you want to force humans to do something they don't want to do. If you want slave-doctors just say so. It worked for the Romans I guess.
Feedback on a New SEO Tool I'm Building?
Hi,

I'm building a new SEO tool to help with adding internal links to new pages - internallinksfinder.com. I've tried Other tools like Ahrefs but wasn't totally satisfied with them.

Any feedback on this project would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

>I can get to an arbitrary page either through a path/ query param or at least close with a pagination row that contains a way to jump around

I've had quite a few heated discussions on this point. The problem is, once your dataset gets large enough, this use case is incredibly difficult to scale; not impossible (Google does it with millions of search results), but prohibitively expensive compared to how often the need of being able to jump to any specific page arises.

Now I always try to stick to cursor based pagination as the default in order to prevent people from building workflows on top of offsets.
This is one of the many things that I find so interesting about effective teaching.

Your students are forming a mental model of how something works. Your job is to help guide them to the correct mental model.

If their mental model goes wrong, you have to debug it: you need to figure out exactly what they've misunderstood (which could be anything, and could be from years before your lessons with them started) and help them correct.

Here's a really good detailed write-up of this idea: https://teachtogether.tech/en/index.html#s:models
No, I think it's amazing. My point is why not write its suggestions down somewhere and cut out the middle man.

My concern is that I'd get locked into a specific IDE.
It looks more like "an acceptable tradeoff in emergent crises" than a norm. It's possible that it becomes more common, but this might mean shorter time to market for some products. It's possible we had overindexed on caution and this is a reasonable correction.
I’d say Phoronix’d audience prefers Linux but are quite friendly to other Unixes. The Mac has a very reasonable Unix running on it.

Fun to think that Apple almost has a monopoly on RISC technical workstations…
Of what relevance are kids? We're talking about adults. When was the last time you hired a teacher instead of turning to YouTube (or whatever)? That's where teaching is effectively dead, lost to automation.

Children require care. Again, "teaching" survives when children are present because childcare is the functional service offered. There is no impetus to move to automation here as childcare is not easily automated, necessitating a warm body anyway. However, the value of a teacher is constrained by the value of childcare as there is no longer market value in teaching alone.

Like I said in the other comment, teaching outside of schools for children isn't even recognized in the word teacher anymore because the career, as a general one, effectively no longer exists. You've proven my point.
There has been various ones over the years. These include e.g. key2Audio, Cactus Data Shield & Copy Control. They generally played without issues on normal CD players, but I did hear that especially car stereos did sometimes have issues with them. The way most of them worked were by attempting to hide the audio tracks from computer CD drives to make the ripping harder.

I haven't really used audio CDs for ~15 years so I don't know what the situation is these days. At least the technologies I mentioned are no longer being used to according to Wikipedia. One way to tell if the disc has these kind of copy protections or not is to check if it has the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo. It's trademarked and Philips does not allow using the logo for CDs that break the specification. They do however allow setting the "no copy" bit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozo_bit). No clue if that would be strong copy protection or not in Finnish courts.
