> FOUC would still be an issue.

hell, just using webfonts can cause FOUC - no JS needed.
> For those who say it would lead to a decrease in productivity. Well that is only relative to the 5 day week.

I mean, yeah? That's not a logical argument against it; compared to a 5 day week, a naïve view of it is that that's a 20% productivity loss¹.

> It is not some law ingrained in the universe.

It's not … but I'd also like the work, as I need to make ends meet. What I would prefer is raise … which is why I'm not at all clear why people are so hot on this shorter workweek.

Implicit, I think, in your post, is the assumption that an employer isn't going to go "yes, you can work 80% of the standard week for 80% of the standard week's pay". And why would I take that deal?

¹(yes, I know there are other, better arguments for a 4d week.)

Disappointing to say the least
Rather than generalizing ability to "Math" as a whole, I think it might be more meaningful to state that individuals may differ in the type of problem solving their brain is better at (or at least they enjoy more and thus with effort get better at it). Enjoying and being good at abstract mathematical concepts of sets and number theory might be different than being good at geometrical manipulations or calculus. Some capabilities required for certain types of math problems might cluster closer with problem solving capabilities in other domains (e.g. chemistry or computer science or even writing) than they do other capabilities in math.
I'm not a recruiter. I'm just curious. How did you go from attorney to embedded firmware engineer?
Are any of these instruction sets available on M1? If not, what's the alternative there?
Yup. Follow the money. Will be interesting if the blue states ever decide to stop forwarding income taxes to Washington, claiming they're tired of paying for the red states. They can use the rhetoric of Alberta and Quebec if they wish...

Perhaps compromise might be possible in future generations, cuz it's not a useful word today. Political polarization is pretty impressive worldwide at the moment.
For non-perishable goods sure. Buy those in bulk (based on your storage capacity) and have them delivered.
Buying highly perishable items once a week tends to result in a fair bit of wastage unless you're a whizz at meal planning.

> The underlying grievance is of course not over "increased diversity" per se but rather the long-term decline in civic attitudes.

I fail to see how the previous US president's complaints about people coming from "s*hole countries" and the exhortations from the Charlottesville rioters about how "Jews will not replace us" are grievances about "decline in civic attitudes". Try as one may to dissociate them, but these are the faces, words, and animating motivation of nationalism today.
Debug code behavior using assembly? And deep OOP knowledge? And architecture? They better pay in gold bricks.

>By the time I was 10 I was allowed to be unsupervised and to get on a bus to a railway station, purchase a ticket for an intercity train that took me the better part of 100 miles away to another city then alight there at a major railway junction with many platforms and from there catch a suburban train to my final destination where my grandmother lived.

Pfff, when I was 7 or 8 I took the local bus to the intercity bus station and then took that 200km to get to my grandparents. I had to figure out what bus to get on to and when to get off. I remember nobody even asked me for ticket money, just asked me where I was going. I was super happy because I got to pocket the money - but then I lost somewhere on my way there :(

But I was one of 4 children in a poor family (at the time, eventually we got up to 6). I can't see myself risking my son on something as stupid, the amount of near death experiences I've had as a child, it freaks me out when I think about my son doing something like that, and I can't really say I'm better off for it either - I was just bored, poor and didn't have anything better to do.
I don't think legalizing fentanyl is a good idea at all. Look at how many people were killed by easy access to Oxycodone.

It's said that one use of heroin will turn someone into an addict, and something like 2% of opioid addicts die per year. Legalizing drugs may make things safer per person, but it will also increase the number of users. Legalizing fentanyl would just flood the streets with something even more potent than heroin and get millions more addicted.
The "initial frame -> video" problem seems way harder than generating video from a text input. Once a good dataset for that problem is assembled, it seems like Stable Diffusion would naturally accept an additional "time" dimension, and generate cohesive output, with corresponding massively increased hardware requirements.

Though I'd venture that the first "novel to feature film" or "novel to TV series" algorithm won't just be an upscaling of this tech....

TIL Hacker News.com redirects here
This seems pretty obvious, but as far as I remember, hackernews.com used to point somewhere else, and then it was a domain parking page for a while. It wasn't until today when Safari autocompleted the website and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it points to HN now.

I looked on the wayback machine and seems like prior to October 23, 2021, the page redirected to a blog.

What else might that war teach us?

There are 10 million Mexican-Americans by birth in America, and 37 million by ancestry. If America went to war with Mexico, I fear there would be efforts to intern Mexican-Americans as Japanese-Americans once were.

Such a war is a horrible idea for everybody. It would create conditions in Mexico and America that are far worse than the present status quo.

And people really do win the lottery, but you kinda don't base your life decision process on that undisputable fact.

And they die in car accidents on their way to get a lottery ticket. And people are horrible about comparing such small probabilities.

On the other hand you'll inevitably 100% die and very likely leave your child to live in the world (s)he is scared of.
It can be said this is similar to how many artists take inspiration from others works.

USB4 is the specification for the cable, USB-C is the connector at the end. We'll presumably start to see USB4 cables with USB-C connectors to replace the current 'best' USB3 cables with USB-C connectors.
I think stronger labour laws are generally a good idea, employment is survival. The full extent is out of scope for this discussion but I've seen many deplorable examples of employee abuse beyond being fired for expressing an opinion. Reprehensible is an interesting term, I think it's at the core of this issue.

I gave a couple ideas in a comment below for algorithms so I'll you check that out. I don't understand the basis of the question with regards to the journalist, could you elaborate why you'd want a different algorithm for this female journalist?

With regards to the media I answered that in another comment too. Tax incentives and government subsidies are an idea but it's tricky, it depends on the implementation. We have a lot of government influence over the media already so we're not starting from a blank slate. Everything needs to be weighed, I don't have the skills to do so.
That would be great, except that it seems people can't agree on how to properly debate. One person will bring up something that is in the news, the other person who aligns with the opposite political party may come back with "Like what specific examples? Can you prove it?". And when they bring up something, you try the same thing but they come back with "The information is out there, go look for it."

So I've learned to just keep my mouth shut and even quit reading anything that is even close to a tabloid-style presentation. Problem is, what I though were good sources of info ended up lying to me on more than one occasion, that I noticed when I went back to the source (for example, "X says Y", but when I go through the speech from X and hear Y in context, it is clearly something completely different (and sensible) -- even if I can't stand X for other reasons.
One thing is clear, if we continue equalling people who want to work less than full time with slackers we'll never get anywhere...

What should be allowed is to work as much as you want and get the pro rata of the full time salary

I can only speak for my own experience, but the cheapest Focusrite outperformed my builtin soundcard with ASIO4ALL drivers both in latency and quality. On the builtin, getting the latency lower than 12ms resulted in noticeable glitches.
How long would it have taken to warp to the Gamma Quadrant wormhole I wonder?
but sadly most subdivision builders like to make nice straight roads, which means that one of the more effective tools to control speed (having the road turn, or snake) won't work. That leaves having frequent intersections with either stops or roundabouts.

Stop sign planning usually says to avoid 4 way stops and to give give preference to one of the streets (usually the busier), meaning that if those are used one street at any interspection will probably be one with few stops, allowing cars to build up speed.

Roundabouts (preferably with a physical center median) are the right choice for residential streets, but in most of the US they are still considered "weird", so subdivision developers don't make much use of them.
> This - unlike millions of today's kids - is why my generation were and still are a much more resilient lot and not afraid of the world than is the present younger generation.

I marvel at this logic. Who raised the present younger generation?

Children didn't make the rules that they can't buy train tickets. They weren't born afraid. Their resiliency hasn't been molded yet.

The question isn't "why are kids this way?" The question is "why are we raising children this way when we weren't raised this way ourselves?"
The entire idea of week days is arbitrary.

Days are rotations of Earth around its axis, years are orbits of Earth around the Sun and months almost match lunar cycle. Weeks of seven days are just something somebody came up with a long time ago.

Ancient Egyptians, ancient Chinese and pre-Napoleon French revolutionaries used ten day weeks.

there's no meat

This ignores that there have been trials about this. Companies trying 4 day work weeks have found their workers to be more productive.

Also, consider that worker productivity has gone up since the 70s, but wages haven't kept pace.

In surveys, most people say they'd rather have 4 day work week. 5 days is in second place. then it goes down from 3.

Indeed, this is precisely what makes getting it right up front so important. As mentioned above, the data model tends to proliferate across anything that interacts with it. The principles of normalization mean that there is usually one natural way to interact with a given conceptual entity, given current and potential future requirements, but thousands of ways to box yourself in. Getting it wrong can mean the wrong assumptions about the data shape propagate across thousands of lines of code, preventing the possibility of ever implementing certain features in a clean, maintainable way.
Ask HN: YouTube channels that you enjoyed but whose name you forgot
I am making this thread because I forgot the name of a youtube channel. And I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread were we all ask about youtube channels we forgot and want to remember.
I will start:
There used to be this youtube channel full of DIY projects with a very minimalistic aesthetic, it was mostly black and white with 3d schemas. Lots of projects involved raspberry pi usage, and the presenter had a soothing voice.
Any clues ?

In my area there's just a random dude who works as an "electronics recycler" - he buys them off of MSPs in bulk and sells off rebundled PCs. So he just keeps a huge stack of Thinkpads, Latitudes, Probooks, and MacBooks all for about $200-$400.

Nearly every metro area I've lived in has had "a guy" or two who does something similar.

agreed, wouldn't be able to read this comment
And that CEO is not necessarily wrong. Even if you posit that certain types of creative problem solving might be as productive with a 32 hour work week as a 40 hour one, I'd also posit that there are a lot of jobs within companies that really do mostly map to hours in seats. And granting, say, engineering only a special privilege like that seems like it would be terrible for morale--especially given that there are doubtless other jobs at a company that could in principle also be equally productive with 4-day weeks.

And it probably goes without saying that most people would not be OK with a pay cut--which might have to actually be more than 20% given the cost of benefits is fairly fixed.

"unethical" is a pretty stupid way to characterize this (even if I hate Apple).

About Tech Worker Unions Pt 1 – I Would Never Know [audio]
Both sides inhabited the land for hundreds of years is a nice principle.

The reality is that before the EXPLICITLY colonialist movement of Zionism, there was a small Jewish community there. A small amount of people compared to the overwhelmingly Muslim population.

The waste majority of current population has immigrated from Europe and the Soviet Union.

And of course because the Zionists know that they enacted a law that states that basically everybody who is even vaguely Jewish is free to live there and a lot of them are then settled in the West Bank.

At the same time the countless Muslims who actually lived there, in 1948 and their kids have no rights to return at all.

So according to the current Israeli law, a person who has hasn't grown up Jewish but has Jewish grand parent has a right to live their, but the children of the people displaced in 1948 don't.
The first line in your link says: It is often not clear what deaths are part of the Mexican drug war versus general criminal homicides, and different sources give different estimates. Which should be a clue that the actual casualties are very plausibly higher than those officially attributed to organized crime.

The total Mexican murder rate listed Wikipedia is 36,579/year. Given Mexico once had a fairly low murder rate, attributing much of this to organized crime seems plausible. Not 60k/year but the violence has gone up and down. Moreover, the "rate of disappearance" is substantial and I believe disappearances aren't counted as official murders of any sort.

And my point would be that all this is unknown. Given the cartels have corrupted and subverted local authorities and that their murders are kept as secret as they can manage, glib certainty about the extent of cartel murders seems unwarranted.

If this web app is less of a resource hog than the Teams app on the Mac, I'll switch to it in a heartbeat. Between Teams and Outlook, M$ consumes over one GB of my mac's RAM. If a browser's memory footprint grows by less than that when running those apps (unavoidable, where I work), that'd be a big win over the current status quo, IMHO.
The Windows Teams client is also crap.

From a manufacturing standpoint, having to add an additional crew to a 24 hour schedule would also mean additional handoffs and opportunities for things to be missed. In my experience, manufacturing shifts are typically not more than 12.5 hours, but may bump to 16ish if there are calloffs and the like.

My understanding is that in the medical field, handoffs are viewed as large opportunities for mistakes to happen through miscommunication, and that's at least some of the justification behind having people work 12-24+ hour shifts.
