I believe this is the primary reason for pushing people back to work. All those middle managers are shown to be useless idiots, as they usually are, when people work from home. They're trying to save their skins and justify their existence.
That's strictly better than infinite scrolling, where it's always broken.
Not creepy at all
To start, malls tend to be built on highways removed from a municipality's center. Many of the people in this area will need certain amenities (for example, schools) and will have commutes. The entire surrounding area would have to be redesigned before you can plop 2,000 new residents in an empty lot.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but making something more desirable is more complicated than just rezoning. And making something less desirable could be absolutely dystopian.
The article doesn't touch on what I believe to be a bigger issue with RTO - the huge carbon footprint of human travel for work. If there were a "carbon credit" for WFH, I think many more companies would embrace it. But that would mean first creating carbon penalties, which society is unwilling or unable to do.
Is it the plastic though, or is it the sugar? Over my last few years of reading, I've convinced myself that sugar is the main culprit in massive obesity in Western countries, especially the US (i.e. high fructose corn syrup).

Sugar is in everything (like plastic, I suppose). Look at the ingredients of what you buy and you'll be surprised where it turns up. Peanut butter, mayonnaise, beef jerky, even bog standard bread. It seems like sugar is the elephant in the room that the mainstream doesn't want to talk about.
The US doesn't have a prime minister at all. The president is head of the cabinet, they get to appoint all the heads of the various departments, and then the senate confirms them. The cabinet heads are usually not even from congress, they're often just random governors and politicians who lost during the primary voting for the last election and whatnot.

I've been wondering about this too.

I'm not well versed in the domain to say one thing or another so I will wait to form a concrete opinion before I hear from an expert in the field. I am very curious though like you, if there's a relation between the two.
The room also needs to be a Faraday cage, in case a player has a radio device implanted under the skin, or swallowed one.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into those resources. I don't know if I'll go the route of sending in the paper myself as I believe a thesis advisor might be necessary to establish whether I'm on the right track or not without spending months on this. It's in a weird area between philosophy and AI and I might need two or more people to weigh in (not in the sending to journals stage, but in the research stage). I also don't know if building a demonstrable model is necessary for A^. More questions than answers.

I hadn't know about these journals though so that's a definite plus. I'll keep them in mind when looking where to submit. I should also mention my aim isn't to publish per se, but to know whether I'm right. I don't know if publishing the results exclusively (if they are significant) would be ethical.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I see the problem of the DoD being asked where the money goes as an intractable problem, not least because they have more than one reason that they don't want to tell you.

That is, it will defeat any technology that you bring to the table.

My own feelings about RDF are mixed. On one hand I've accomplished quite a few things with it, for instance, developing a technique for bringing multiple schema systems (say EMOF, XML Schema, and FIX Orchestra) into a single framework but it has been like

https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Binb%C5%8Dgami

for me in that I have put huge amounts of time and money into it with very little return, not because of technical problems per se but because of problems marketing it.

There's a certain kind of stupidity inside the community that keeps it from making tools that are truly effective but there is even more stupidity outside the community that makes it seem it won't ever be understood. The semantic web seems to be cursed that it will never develop a brand like GraphQL, Docker, mongodb, or "FAANG" that works like a Jedi mind trick to bring people into its domains.

For instance I saw GraphQL as beneath contempt for many years because there was no specification, it was just "Facebook will return any answers that further their business interests if and when they want to" and somehow people are seduced by that the same way that they are seduced by Donald Trump or will cut out their left eyeball because Matt Butts said that is how to raise your PageRank by 0.1% next Thursday.

I was thinking the same. They said a Go precompiled version was faster, but was 200MB. Which I don't understand.

200MB of pages and assets, sure. Code? No. If you compile it into the binary then the storage is no worse than having a small binary and all the resources separate.

Taking a statically generated site and returning the raw bytes is 100% faster. The author said so themselves.
I think the issue is with older houses that might have 15 amp circuit breakers compared to the modern standard of 20A. One high end desktop computer by itself isn't likely to be a problem, but the way these houses are wired, there are a lot of outlets on the same breaker since they were mostly designed for lighting loads. Our 1950 house in MI will flip the breaker if we use the microwave, toser and bathroom vent at the same time, and my desktop is also on that circuit (with a UPS)
It's downright terrifying to think this was written 25 years ago, and now many of the tools that the author describes as being enablers in some of the described activities are readily available to the average person, let alone nation states and governments.
How can it be faster than a static page that is already in memory, the bytes are there you just send them over a socket? Transforming some template to rust code back to string buffer is somehow faster?

I don't think the author is claiming it is faster than a static site stored in memory, they're saying it is faster than a traditional static site that loads files from the disk. At least that's how I read it.

What continues to obligate you to interact at all? I've dropped off the map to one friend and one family member before (after years of effort to prove to myself that I'm a good person) and seriously dialed back my stress level. It wasn't easy, and one was sick and in need but ultimately un-help-able.
There is no need for it. That Royal Assent requirement is both BS and law and needs to be done away with. But Canadians who love monarchy are happy to require others to 'swear allegiance to the King/Queen AND heirs' - which includes the pedophile Andrew. There really is no need for this third party to be involved in Canadian affairs. Yes it is in the constitution right now but if you have some self respect and feel that swearing allegiance to some other person is not in line with equality of human beings then you have to stand against it.

Props to Australia for taking the first step and making it not part of the citizenship oath. The other ties are still there but at least you are not making people swear allegiance.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was regionally common/"not weird", but I don't know!

A personal data-point: I'm a native English speaker from norcal/oregon, and my wife is a native Spanish speaker from Monterrey, Mexico.

Since learning Spanish and being exposed to her good, but definitely not native, English, I didn't even notice "different to", and it doesn't seem particularly "weird" to me. But if I think about it I'm pretty sure it would've seened very weird to me back when I was in Oregon!

(It goes the other direction too. E.g., she's caught herself saying "vino rojo" instead of "vino tinto" and "hacer linea" instead of "hacer fila".)

In general I think it's pretty common when two languages are in close-contact to get some cross-contamination like that.

And prepositions are often pretty arbitrary.

I am pretty sure the last Roomba I looked at had an upward-facing camera.

Amazon can therefore ask the drone, I mean Roomba, to take a closer look at something.

This could be tied in with AI: move to the window and detect curtains or window coverings; offer to sell if missing or unchanged in over a year, for instance.

Is there something in your house you wouldn't want Amazon to take an upskirt shot of?
Yes, but the best people typically know their worth and leave in 2-3 years anyways, downsize or not. What’s important during a layoff is keeping the company running. How deep can you cut without affecting day-to-day operations?

You don’t need 10x experts to keep legacy systems running for 6 months. Good people leaving is a calculate risk that managers probably considered.
Just one data point from Germany: The legal situation currently makes it illegal to use arbitrary lightning signals in motorized traffic. This has many clear reasons, such as reducing stress and distraction and reserving blue warning lights to emergency vehicles, for instance.

Given how traditional and cautious Germany is when it comes to new technology, I could imagine that projecting cars have a long way until getting recognized. On the other hand, Germany thinks of itself as a automotive country. Car manufactures have a lot of influence in politics.
That part of the constitution says "Congress shall have the power..." and does not bestow a right to bankruptcy. It just says congress may if they choose create a law bestowing such a right because they have the power to pass such a law.
I think people can come up with more efficient protocols than sending x,y,rgb for every pixel. What you call "edge detection" is not necessary if you use shadow buffers. Yes, the display would need some memory, but this is measured in tens of megabytes which is not much by today's standards.
“ Never really got the hang of working from home.”

And thats fine. Everyone should have the option of whichever way works for them. The only issue is that many of those who prefer on site want it imposed on everyone else.
One way is to have a 'weird interest' and go on the in-depth research needed to back up a hunch of yours.

The interest does not have to be that weird. Along the way you might contact someone that has the same interest as yourself, for example to ask if they have an image in a different format or at a higher resolution. With a bit of rapport and infectious enthusiasm for their subject, I am sure you can get more into it with sources for the original content shared.

History is a good way to get on this journey. I am fascinated by what people ate in times past, and on a quest to find an answer to whom man's best friend really was. The sheep is the front runner on that, not the dog. There is no absolute answer, nobody has put me on a deadline to come up with a definitive answer, it is just pure, self-directed study for the joy of learning.

I like things that are outside of Google search results. I also view Google search results as a facsimile for a full web search. With your phone there is that feature to identify songs with Google Assistant. Even if you are not online it will get results for most songs. It has a cache of what it thinks is enough for most people. I think Google search results as a whole are like that.

I am against not filming the police and indeed it makes injustice happen. Seems not as rife as the US, however that might be because it is less reported, I do not know. I think police should at least have functional body cams at all times, by law and if they did not function at a moment of a crime, they should have to explain that or get fined or fired depending. Watching American shows about police with bodycams and citizens filming makes me more convinced that that at least should be allowed.
> most tenancies involve occupants who permanently live in the area and would buy if it were financially feasible.

What exactly do you mean by “if it were financially feasible”? Like yeah, if a mortgage were cheaper than rent, of course renters would do the cheaper thing.
It seems like there could be a nice middle man software project. Something that translated the non-standard compliant code on the web to something more standard compliant, and then you could have many different browsers each doing different things with the standard html it output. I wonder if such a tool is extractable from current projects? Disclaimer: I am not a browser scientist.
The problem with browsers is that they conflate the execution environment, which should be as small, understandable, analyzable, obviously free of bugs as possible, with the common APIs, which as developers we want as rich as possible.

An interesting alternative was embassies project[1], which got WebKit running on an understandable computing base. The current-day equivalent would be to get WebKit running on top of, say, WebAssembly and the Canvas API. That would be immense impactful, but isn't as sexy or cool as writing your own browser from scratch.

That being said, I applaud the Ladybird initiative. Scratching your own itch is the way to go when aiming for maximum enjoyment.

It's obviously part of it. But I just meant that a lot of people like to see the results and value they produce. Game developers like to see people enjoying their game, and people like to see their product making people happy. I don't mean getting candies. Personally I have a job writing, and honestly my biggest motivations aside from the money is seeing people comment and learn from what I write.

If there was a job which payed 80K per year but all it involved was putting together boxes and then taking them apart for no reason at all all day, I bet very few people would actually stay there for very long.

Until they don't because the country 10x your size with massive heavy industry on the other side of that country you want to import from wants to buy all of it.
This is just word salad. Youre defining pathological work rules by the subjective mental state of fearful dysfunctionals. This is backwards and incoherent.
https://www.nbcnews.com/technolog/how-fast-fast-some-pro-gam... claims that effective APM can hit 600, that sounds high to me but not by a lot. 10hz on the keyboard is probably not a realistic sustained rate for a hardcore vi/emacs user.

I easily hit 4hz at the end of a 20 hour coding bender, and I’m old: the hot shit kids on modafinil must be doing 1.5x my decrepit ass.

If you can really move on the keyboard? Touch the mouse? I’ll grab a coffee while I’m at it.

Edit: It turns out that “fast emacs” doesn’t turn up a video of a real pro easily on Google. You can see a code God like Russ Cox being slow and clumsy as fuck if you want: https://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M.

It’s a good thing thing he gets everything right on the first try (not sarcasm, Cox is an alien life form optimized for doing the impossible) because if he didn’t he’d finish pound-defining everything by about next March.
Except our new King has previously taken money from Saudis and supports the WEF, so they've already lost that trust.
It's not so much the language as it is the virtual machine / runtime environment. The JVM is one of the most solid and heavily invested systems in the history of business software.

Notable companies who started off with PHP or Python or what have you, reached a stage in their growth where they had to either migrate, or else write their own in-house compilers to fork those languages and make them scalable. No one's ever had the need to do this with Java (although different vendors do produce their own tweaked builds in order to compete in the support space).

People generally assume that a virtual machine is a disadvantage over AOT compilation. And for the "To Do List" apps that so many students and hobbyists on these forums are writing, they are correct. But JIT compilation is vastly superior for long-running server side business processes. Which is the niche that Java owns (facing some competition from .NET, which works in the same manner). It's not sexy or beginner-friendly, so the level of discussion that it gets here is disproportionately low.
I'm puzzled by how many people confuse gas and electricity, enough to wonder whether I am the one who's wrong.

The country where I live historically used about 15% of its gas to produce electricity. (Most of the 85% were burned for heat at end-user sites, some were used as molecules in chemical plants.) I'd like to know two things. I can't find these on the web, but perhaps someone on HN knows.

1. Do any of the European countries that imported gas from Russia burn most of to produce electricity? I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed that most of it was burned in furnaces and other heating devices, like here.

2. Are there any countries with a sizable set of heating devices (furnaces, ovens, whatever) can can use either gas or electricity, depending on what's available at any given moment?
Somewhat related, CitiBike trialed a setup that projected a bike symbol ahead of the bike. It wasn’t rolled out widely, but I remember thinking that it was a good system on the few occasions I happened to get one of the pilot bikes.

One of the biggest eye-openers for me was this chart.

https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html

One day I just sat down and learned about every item on that table. Not memorizing, just learning what it was for. Not only did my concept of what you can do with a database expand dramatically but also the limitations of insisting on hacking up equivalents in your own application code.

It's amazing how many steps can be skipped and race conditions can be avoided by leaning into the SQL.

Considering the open camera "feeds" have the bounding boxes around people, I guess they're CCTVs mistakenly put on the open Internet, findable through some services (can't remember the name of a famous one).

Thankfully I already work so remote I'm literally on the other side of the country so I can't be called into the office.

I've always favored working from home as someone who codes 90%+ of the day. Getting and saying in flow/focus mode is extremely important. A single distraction can waste an hour of time, which adds up significantly when it happens multiple times a day across many days a week across many weeks a year.

Some companies I worked for before the pandemic recognized my productivity soared when I worked from home and let me work there for weeks at a time, while others kept me handcuffed to my desk.

I've had the fortunate experience to work for two remote-first / no-office companies now and have only become more productive and collaborative. I don't buy the "we need to return to the office" BS one bit. Just managers who don't trust their employees trying to justify their bloated salaries.

That being said, I have looked into getting a private office for myself somewhere outside the house since without it, I rarely ever leave the house and both me and the wife work from home. We both want some separation so we have a nice reunion at the end of the day to look forward to.
Why? There are more reliable means of conveying information. Just because someone figured out they can do this doesn’t mean it is a good idea. The road in front of the driver is an area where the drivers focus should be solely dedicated to being aware of their surroundings. Projecting other symbols only clutters the information that the brain has to process. Status indicators work better in dedicated spaces to reduce cognitive load.
In areas I've seen, the older malls are effectively closer in due to decades of sprawl. If one converts those, the effect isn't as stark.
