It does, but you can still establish “this is night” and feed the baby in a very low-stimulus (dark, no talking, keep them swaddled, etc.) environment for those night feeds. That “dream-feed” is basically just eating, checking the diaper and putting them back down for the next 4 hours. Obviously if they cry for more than 15 minutes or so you go check on them (e.g. make sure the diaper is still dry), but by keeping the intervention to a bare minimum you keep them in a state of more or less teaching themselves to do the actual sleeping part :)

As you said: Java's Random is not meant for serious cryptographic usage, it's meant to be super fast.
You have SecureRandom instead for cryptographic usage, and it's noticeably slower.
Interestingly, using fast, but bad random generators such as Java's Random was shown to be an issue multiple times in the past already for things such as Monte Carlo, and so on, not just for things related to security.

If you earn 250k and can’t buy a home, relocate, that sounds like a nightmare. I’m in France and up until last month I earned ~45k€. I bought my home 2 years ago.

I can’t imagine living somewhere where 250k is not enough to live, that’s insane. If you relocate you probably won’t make 250k, but your money might be worth something instead.

> Including a UI-Toolkit within the base-library of a programming language seems like a mistake.

Sounds subjective.

I would prefer an entire language designed specifically for building native desktop GUI apps because

1. that's the only kind of apps I am interested in developing

2. I hate verbosity/boilerplate, manual labor and uncertainty brought by existence of multiple artificially attached UI toolkits

VisualBasic was sort of such a language but it obviously is obsolete in so many ways.
When you say NY I assume you mean NYC.

If you want to buy a house you either need to live somewhere cheaper or make more money. $250k salary following a 3 rule is $750k should be enough to buy a house in NYC, it will not be in Manhattan. Staten Island, the not hip parts of Brooklyn, Queens, or going to the suburbs is where you need to go to make that possible. A lot of the people who buy houses in Manhattan and such are doing so with a combination of family money, or they are a double income couple where both are making $250k, or someone is just making a ton of money. If you want to go to big tech you need to do the grunt work of studying algorithms. The Finance places are probably going to be harder to get into with no degree, but depending on your infra skills it might be possible.

Don’t study leetcode. If you want to work at FAANG, get some interviews with them. You may discover that you really didn’t need to spend days studying stuff that’s not relevant to your job. At the very least, you’ll get some interview practice and figure out what you do need to study. Those companies will let you interview again and again after a 6-12 month break.

Also, companies like Stripe and Airbnb also pay competitively with FAANG. There’s probably 15-20 biggish companies out there that would pay in the ballpark of what you’re looking for.
Heh, my eyes did pop at that one, considering we've also been doing that over here since 2020 at least ;)
>which sole purpose is sexual gratification

Not necessarily; plenty of pornography contains serious artistic contents and merit beyond the simple aim of sexual gratification, and they raise interesting questions on their own. This is why some have attempted to make another classifier of 'erotica', which IMO isn't needed.

>through sexual exploitation, rape via human trafficking.

Even if this were true for all porn (and it isn't), that dosen't make it any less art; it may make it 'lesser art' from a moralist perspecitve on the value of art, but this by no means of widely accepted relevance to aesthetic value nor to the property of being 'art'.

>the very definition of vulgarity.

A rude gesture or crass words seems vulgar. A video of a penis being sucked doesn't. "Vulgar" is the sort of word you might hear a shrill, paternal sitcom character use to describe a minor inconvenience or faux pas, and it's just as hilarious when people use it as an argument in real life.

We did an audit and found out one of our employees was logging in from a war zone. He was hired in the US but at some point after being hired, moved to a country that is considered by the US government to be an enemy. For security reasons, we couldn't allow this to continue, especially since he was part of our security organization. We do have contract workers in South America and some "regular" workers in Canada and Western Europe but now we have a policy that those are the only countries where it is acceptable to work from unless special permission is given ahead of time.

Abroad often means exploiting cost of living arbitrage. Working in a US company with a US salary and living let's say in Portugal or Turkey or Thailand, means that suddenly your compensation for the work you do becomes multiple times more potent. If you remove the money as intermediary, it essentially means that for the JavaScript button you created maybe you could have a meal but now you secure your weekly food.

This is great but most people can't simply move because countries for some reason decided that only capital moves, people stay put and work and if they really really want to move they need to go though months long of bureaucracy and it's not even available for most people.

This imparity between people breaks the natural tendency of equalisation and the arbitrage remains and creates political tensions because suddenly some services see unnatural demand, especially housing is particularly badly hit.

Effectively some people get particularly good compensation thanks to the arbitrage when other people who might be working just as hard and could be jast as important for the function of the society get screwed if they can't work from home and miss out on the arbitrage and can't move to the higher paying places because they are only(!) human capital.

So my argument is, I guess, this should be prevented from happening or the WFH from abroad people should be treated as local workers and pay taxes to to the host country. Ideally, anyone should be free to work and live wherever they like but since we are in a deglobalisation trend I have no hopes for it. So yes, WFH from abroad should be actually international workers and taxed accordingly.
Yeah that's a good question. If I depend on react, react-dom, and react-router... do they get three times the allocation?

The antitrust agencies in the United States (FTC and DOJ) do not proactively give approval for companies to merge. After official merger filings have been made (which they have not in this case), the FTC or DOJ have a process in which they gather evidence and determine whether they have grounds to challenge the proposed merger.

Ethereum has always seemed like the only real effort towards accomplishing the goals that were set out for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Everything else...literally everything else in the space appears to be pump and dump, get rich quick scams: ICOs, NFTs, new coins appearing constantly, etc.

Kudos to Ethereum for pulling off the merge. There's a lot of people heavily invested in mining that this move threatens and they're going to scream about it. IMO Eth2 is the future core of everything in the web3 space.
Stop depending entirely on corporate systems for your personal communication and recreation (I say on HN...).

And absolutely stop calling for the use of violence (regulations by government) in these situations. Just because Bob says you cannot come over to the weekly neighborhood BBQs in his backyard does not mean it is ethical for you to call up your police friend to threaten Bob and to make sure you can go. It doesn't matter if you're right and he's wrong. It doesn't matter if everyone in the neighborhood continues to chose to go to his BBQs and you can't. It's still Bob's backyard and he isn't inititing violence against you. Don't do it to him.

The vote is public, yes, but the participation is anonymous. I can easily set up two different miners, both controlled by me, but with different addresses. There is not generally an easy way of looking up agent ownership.

And while participation could in theory be anonymous for democracies, as you've described, I'm not aware of any country that actually does that?
IT is easier when everyone is in the same place - for example, fixing a person’s work laptop or updating software. Workers compensation is easier to manage, for example if someone is injured on the job. Finally, as much as the knowledge class hates butts-in-seats as a metric for performance, it is easier to tell “how” your employees are doing when you see them every day. Especially when you want to check if someone is burning out.

In my view, both sides of the RTO divide have failed to adequately acknowledge the pitfalls of their own position, which has led to this topic being unnecessarily polarized.

Without suggesting that these are the only reasons or that they apply to every company, here are some:

- companies may have committed to have certain numbers of jobs in certain locations to get tax breaks in the past,

- companies may have built out office space and want to get use from it,

- incompetent middle managers prefer their subjects to be right in front of them so they can use time-in-seat as a proxy for productivity,

- some work is collaborative in nature and may be easier in person, and managers would rather not pay for travel for the times it is necessary.

There's also the shelve[0] module which allows storing any pickleable object in a persistent key-value store, not just string/bytes. I've found it's very handy for caching while developing scripts which query remote resources, and not have to worry about serialization.

[0] https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/shelve.html

Obligatory pickle note: one should be aware of pickle security implications and should not open a "Shelf" provided by untrusted sources, or rather should treat opening a shelf (or any pickle deserialization operation for that matter) as running an arbitrary Python script (which cannot be read).

What would the alternative be? There will always come a day when founders and investors want to move on. Retirement age comes faster than you might think. Even if you deny an exit strategy, the principals are still going to stop eventually, and the product will still come to an end at that time. Allowing a sale at least provides an opportunity for the product to live on, even if there can be no guarantees about how the next guy decides to treat it.

Traditionally, when a product doesn't want to be lost, the customers will pool their resources together and offer a buyout. That seemingly didn't happen, so Adobe probably is the next best thing. Adobe is a public company, so the public still has the ability to shape its future.

We (France) had contracts in Iran. The US decided that Iran is bad.

So far so good.

Then the US said that everyone must leave Iran, and if they do not, their presence in the US will be harmed and they will not be allowed to trade in USD.

We asked the EU for help. The EU said that this is really [bad|unfriendly|unethical|immoral|whatever] of the US to behave that way and that we are, collectively, definitely offended. But that they cannot help.

So we left Iran, together with the rest of EU companies.

This is just one example of the extraterritoriality that the US does, without any special concerns for international law or relations. One could say "[US|China]are big and strong so they rule", which is true. Not the kind of relationship I would like to have on a personal level.

Dylan's tweet is bullshit. You know it. We know it. $20 billion (with a B) is a very good chunk of money, and Dylan has a golden parachute prepared when Adobe, "1-3 to years down the road," cannibalizes, rebuilds, and rebrands Figma into an overpriced and bloated monstrosity.
If you're a UI designer and you work on a remote team, Figma makes it incredibly easy to both build and share your designs with your teammates. It runs entirely in a browser and was built from the start for sharing, so you can jump into a design file and see and share the latest work in real time.

It is to design as Google Docs or Sheets was to Word or Excel. No more passing around files - everything just works in the browser.

Probably. But there is worldwide demand for good developers, try looking into remote work. I've spoken with many people who have more than one "job", which amount to long, but not insane work weeks.

One thing I think a lot of people underestimate is the sheer amount of _clueless_ (or almost clueless) software developers out there. There are a lot of young people with good intentions but very, very little "real" experience (writing a React web app for a class assignment isn't "real" except for saying you've tried the framework). Work experience is quite different from CompSci knowledge, evne if both are important! If you have even just 3-5 years of real experience building real systems with real failures and real successes, you should be quite easily employed elsewhere if your current job doesn't meet your expectations.

Nope.

This gets really messy for consulting companies, where employees "work" at the client location 3-4 days a week, 2-3 weeks a month.

We had to track and report what states we worked in and what days, down to the billing hours, and then in some cases had to file tax returns in some of those states.

Also, all of the partners were required to file taxes in every state where the company earned income, which worked out to something like 46 states and 5 countries.
