> A lot of people are scattered around the country/world so, even if they are in an office

This realization actually caused my last company to full 180 on their WFO policy to "Fuck it work wherever you want in the world, including in one of our offices. Just give us two weeks heads up if you move so we can sort out the taxes."

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

It should look pretty clean, unless you have a browser that always shows scrollbars. What browser and operating system are you using? I think Windows and IE might show scrollbars more. Should look good on majority of popular browsers like mobile and Chrome. But if you give me more details I can look into how it looks on your side.

I did try adding a stronger header look before... but it ended up looking too busy and heavy. Right now I'm trying to lean towards minimal and clean as possible consider the amount of data going on. If you can give me a mock up of what you are thinking I would love to see that!
unsolicited commercial email, aka spam, but less fraudulent than penis pull scams.
well, those people will have to put up with Bluetooth latency, or use wired headphones on the Lighting jack. That's not up to the app (or even iOS itself). It's not meant for the general public that just wants to have bluetooth headphones. Musicians working with DAWs and music apps, mobile or not, will have wired headphones too.
Java was great at the time it was created. But now, I think there are several better languages that are more suited for today. Like Go as an example. Easy to develop and easy to maintain. You get very good performance for little effort. It is just my personal preference, but I don't care to maintain Java or JVM anymore. FWIW, I was at the very first every Java One conference. Have used it for many years.
why do you need that for meaningful work? anyhow, github codespaces is usable on the ipad. i've done billable hours while traveling on my ipad, as long as the internet is good.
Very, very nice. Don't get caught up customizing this for the HN crowd. The way it works now will have popular appeal. In any case, it is much, much better than the Google UX.
I swear people look at this these mergers the wrong way. The people who get squeezed are less likely to be the consumers and more likely to be the producers.
I'm sure there are plenty of meetup groups that could satisfy your longing for chatting about technical concepts and then getting a good meal together. Why not explore those?

Yes -- it's not the same as doing this with coworkers. But the world has moved on. Acceptance is part of the process.
I also use Firefox Focus on Android. Latest Android versions took away the option to NOT have a default application to open files/links, so I had to pick Firefox Focus as default, even though I immediately open it in Chrome for things I want to have a session active for.
You've hit it with this phrase:

> "service abuse reports seem to make no difference"

Microsoft email services are being used to create these spam accounts as they are much more easier to setup and get running. And if a spammer is using a Windows based OS, setting up multiple mail accounts using the Mail app is almost a breeze (including managing those multiple email accounts).
Funny, my son does that to me now! But he's 43 pounds. I can't really do more than a few with him on my back
Most people in the world barely if ever in their lives get a chance to do what they love. Nobody promised anyone a perfect life. And I think it's obvious that the decision of having a kid comes with some sacrifices.
> Adblock is just as bad.

I meant ad blocking in general, sorry.

> Brave is literally going "We don't think you should earn money from your visitors because of factors we decide, but we're going to show people on your website OUR ads because we picked them."

I don't see how this is any worse for the site than blocking all ads doing nothing else. At least as long as the users aren't confused, which they aren't, because the brave ads don't get put into the page.

If ublock cost money to use, would that be a scam?
I have managed to get a lot of notoriety in my company by just:

1. Paying attention to error messages

2. Reading documentation

3. Looking up stuff I don't fully understand(including googling error messages)

That's it.

Some people don't even read error messages at all. I understand non technical people doing that, but I've seen far too many engineers doing it. If anything doesn't go exactly as expected, they freeze. I have no idea how a person gets so far in their careers without reading error messages. Actually, I do, those people ask others to figure out stuff for them. That's way prevalent in enterprise settings. Sure, collaboration is good, but I've seen a lot of instances where there's a massive imbalance – you'll have 10 people pinging a single person to 'unblock' them. They could have spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out yourself.

I'll move mountains to help someone that comes to me after having done some basic homework to try to fix (or at least triage) an issue. It very rare though.

It's also amazing how many people will just go ahead without having read a single line of documentation of the thing they are working on. I've even had a developer dive in a Golang codebase without having _ever_ worked on the language. That would have been fine – that's how I learn new languages, just get accustomed, before doing some more formal training and exercises – except that he continued to not read the language documentation before asking a bunch of questions. Needless to say, the questions weren't good.

And number 3... just rubber ducky everything. If you can't explain it, you don't get it. Go read up on the topic. Sometimes I'll find out that I don't fully understand something as I'm writing an email to others.
> people are pre-registering unborn children for childcare because there are so few slots available.

Shit I have to do this too? I’ve already started saving for the unreasonable cost of college, and the cost of childbirth, and the unreasonable cost of a large (enough) house in my metro. But now this?!
In the PNW, I don't think it even creates the illusion. What grocery stores are left that wouldn't be under that umbrella? In Redmond, WA, the only ones that come to mind are Trader Joe's, PCC, and Whole Foods. One could probably shop at PCC and get everything one needs for food. Whole Foods, sure, but it's pricey and now you're dealing with just another giant corporation trying to eat the world.

But it is starting to look like there's going to be Kroger and Publix (if you live far enough south). Meanwhile our government agencies are over there playing with their fiddles.
Saying it's made of gluons is exactly the same as saying that a charged object in electric field has it's potential energy made of photons.

It's not exactly informative nor true. Yes you can describe the electric field as sum of virtual photons but that's different to a normal photon. And even then the electric field is not the same as the potential energy. Sure it defines it but it's not the same as the potential energy of the charged object.

In case of protons it's the same. It's better to think of it as a field, which it is. Gluon in itself is "just" an excitation of that field. Just like photon is an excitation of the electric field. And the binding energy of the proton comes from the quarks interacting with the gluon field.

The reason I'm talking so much against the virtual particle viewpoint because then people will start thinking of some things whizzing about. That's not what happens. It's a field.

It's actually better to think of even the normal fermions with mass with fields, because that's what they are. It's no longer surprising that how does electron go through both slits at the same time or how all electrons are identical. Of course they are identical as there is just one electron field that has a very specific kind of excitation that propagates.

This is not some random "Look at my weird theory". It's what Quantum Field Theories are. I mostly blame bad science journalism looking at Feynman diagrams (a great mathematical tool, don't get me wrong) that has people thinking too much about virtual particles.
> he’s talking about the low stakes idle hedonistic “happiness” from commonly thought of as pleasurable things (brunch, camping, food/drinks with friends, etc.)

But it doesn't sound like they were happy even by this definition..
Wow, I had no idea this technology was being used to produce these shows. Evolution of the green screen with massive LED sets is super cool. I can only assume this was made possible by the blue-led invention. Which won a Nobel Prize in 2014.

> Confusingly, the vector space sum is a product of sets.

But why?
Thank you! I'll be thinking on that expand idea. Anyone else feeling that, please comment here.

Yes I have seen a few mentions about searx, will look into that!
“ If we're not careful the kids are going to be going back to class and correcting their teachers”

I will say, as a former teacher, I loved being corrected.
> It's less that and more that you're not maximizing retirement savings at that point, which is something that stresses a lot of folks out.

I understand where this is coming from, but it can be a trap. Maximizing your retirement savings for the distant future at the cost of your current health is not a good tradeoff.

All things in balance. One's current needs are just as important as their future needs. "Future you" can figure it out when the time comes. They're pretty smart :p. "Future you" would want you to properly take care of "current you".

I say this as someone who has spent most of my net worth -- over $100k -- over the past 2 years of not working as I've taken time to heal and grow and learn how to live life better.

It's been a difficult journey for me but it is something I needed to do. I have more hope for the future than I have had in many, many years.

> Also, even within software, I can't imagine trying to find a job with a 6-month gap on my resume. I'm not in the bay area, and even working remotely, competition is brutal. A gap on your resume is a great reason to get immediately rejected by wherever you're applying to.

This may be a hurdle, but it's probably not as big as you think. You were taking care of your health -- no details required. The matter has since been resolved and you are excited and ready to make use of your skills again. Do they need someone with your skillset or not? Don't project your worry onto them :) They will sense that and that will be the actual issue.
Lago is AGPL so no go.
Probably the Galaxy line, but not the top model. The A7 lite has that Mediatek processor instead of the Snapdragon in the non lite version:

It's been on the dev builds enabled by default for several months now and no longer labelled beta, but we're in the middle of a release process right now so at some point soon this week the current stable will have a full debugger release (though you can try that version now if you switch to dev)
Brightness and angle should be regulated. Ability to adjust angle should be considered for regulation as well.
If by walled garden you mean that their service is better than competitors, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Codex does nothing to lead to a walled garden, it is just providing a useful service and could be the spark of more competition.
Presently on iOS it appears this is an iPhone app that doesn't scale to iPad screen dimensions, even when expanded. It's using between a third and a half of the available viewport in landscape orientation.

That said, it appears to work pretty well in side-by-side mode, concurrently with another app, but it still uses about half the available viewport in this mode.

I expect this will get addressed PDQ.
been there Ensorceled!
>Anyway, Brave seems like a great option to keep extensions alive that can actually block ads/trackers. Chrome is about to can that ability.

You are the one who is uniformed because Chrome extensions still have that ability with manifest v3. The move to manifest v3 is about improving performance, privacy, and security which means that extension authors need to migrate to more thought out APIs. It's canning old APIs, not ad blocking / trackers.
Stripe used to help you migrate away. Not sure if they still do.
The major issue with the Jones act is that it prevents domestic transport of goods on water unless it is a built/flagged US ship. This accounts for a tiny fraction of transport within the US (3%):

https://data.bts.gov/stories/s/Moving-Goods-in-the-United-St...

Getting rid of this single part of the Jones Act would help a lot, and I don't see it hurting, as it accounts for such a tiny fraction of our transport today.
It seems to now do multiword correction - that is, it will change two words instead of just the current word. This leads to major meaning shifts when it autocorrects, leading to confused recipients.
I love it. The next app that eats our lunch is going to be written by some kid on a school bus. That is killer.
Very very cool. Have been thinking about this for Darklang for a while. One thing that's changed since I started thinking about it is how big a deal AI assist is.

Originally, I thought a structured editor would be essential, but now while it's helpful, I think AI assist can do like 90% the benefit you get.
You already have to open your fw for wg traffic, doesn't seem too obnoxious to just allow/drop there.

> From my experience, in literature you will usually found (external) direct sum of spaces defined as Cartesian product. But as comment before Proposition 6.1 says, there is a bijection between definition from book and 'standard' definition

I don't get it, does this mean that the direct sum and the cartesian product are in some sense equivalent?
TikZ is wonderful, and any graphics prepared with it just have an edge of professionalism that raster graphics don't.

I really just wish we had a WYSIWYG interface for it, à la Illustrator or Inkscape (yes, the latter can export to TikZ, but I would like a vector graphics editor specifically to work with the TikZ model).
For some reason the video in the post refuses to load for me, but it's also at https://twitter.com/Replit/status/1582750139621380096 - it's not for me, but it's a compelling pitch and I wish them every success. I'm a Replit user simply to use it as a clean testbed for various experiments and the value I get for $7/mo is very good.

I had the same reaction to flat tables, but VR was far better.
Those were the numbers I saw when I was looking into this a few weeks back.

If you think about it, a few millennia corresponds to ~1,000,000 days. So to know the rotation angle to within 10 30 degrees or so, you need to know the length of the day to better than one part in 10^7. But each year the length of the day changes by a few tenths of a millisecond, which is about 3 x 10^-8 of the length of a day. So you have to know the change in the length of the day reasonably well not only today, but at all times going back 2000 years.

Those few tenths of a millisecond add up over thousands of years!
I'm curious about a tangent topic, if you don't mind. What are your thoughts (or have you thought much about) the feasibility of modern industrial manufacturing workspaces/processes designed with the goal of being easy to shutdown & restart?

Edit to clarify what I mean by this: It seems that a significant danger to small or upstart manufacturers is that once they become big enough to achieve stability, their product is likely worthwhile for amazon to copy. At which point amazon will contract a large scale factory and leverage efficiency of scale to outcompete on price.

The only ways to avoid losing out to the bigger fish seem to be "Scale Harder" and "Diversify". I am wondering if there are any good ideas about (essentially) diversifying without scaling for physical manufacturing.
Passive aggressively posting links to overlong tracts won't change my mind. I've read all of it and I fundamentally disagree with it. I'm happy to be done with this.. Unless, of course, you feel that you need the last word? Or, can we let this go and move on? Yeah?
`progress` is also a nice tool to see progress of programs operating linearly on a single file. A lot of tools do that!
It's just you. Mine are from owned domains and Gmail.

Google has a problem where if you pay for a workspace account (or maybe even trial?) you get a temporary trust, which you can abuse for spamming, that gmail.com users don't get. So people open farms of workspace accounts (with fake id/ stolen CC?) and go wild.
Very cool! I'd also love to see the option of putting the floor selector outside the elevator, which seems to be getting more and more common now in tall buildings.
I'm sure there is. But when the headline is repeal the act, not replace it, it's important to note that it has some of its intended effect, even if it's not very much.

Something that actually resulted in productive shipyards would be much better than what we have that results in shipyards that don't produce much, which is still likely better than no shipyards outside of those producing naval vessels and domestic ferries (although, those would probably be imported too, if that were legal; technically that's prohibited under a different act)
In the Seattle area, Town & Country markets are nice, but expensive.

PCC may work for some folks, but they don't carry some fairly basic things like... Coke. (also crazy expensive).
Good. The more countries that see the threat the less likely China is to actually do something.
Except, some tracking/fingerprint related stuff is stored server side... and thus not "cleaned".
My most recent example was a low-end Unifi camera, which was $85-something in Safari/MacOS, $65-something in FF/MacOS at Amazon.

This is interesting to think about but I disagree with the framing of the example:

The studious man marries the first person they date and commits to life-long faithfulness regardless of any potential misalignment.

The curious man dates lots of people trying to learn both if they want to get married and what they want out of such a life-long faithful commitment.

All people are a combination of both curious and studious. It reminds me of a question I've had quite often and had lots of good conversation about: Does learning make you less able to learn?

When you "learn" something and accept it as a de-facto truth, you can be very studious from that base. However, doing so limits your ability to be curious and explore contractions to that baseline. Most modern discoveries are built on curious, by questioning the status quo. THEN, committing to that curiosity in a studious fashion.

You're making crazy leaps in logic. Nothing I said was meant to provide evidence that he's under a gag order. You said he has a right to speak up, I said that he may not. That's all.
It’s genuinely not legislation. Labor is expensive, which combined with the reality that anything beyond a 4:1 child-caretaker ratio is pretty bad for children pretty much guarantees that child care can never be cheap in a rich country with rich country labor costs.

EDIT: I should've said "infants" and not "children" here, where the necessity of a 4:1 ratio really applies. As children get older this ratio can get higher.

I recommend https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2018/10/17/the-iron-math..., from someone who just assumed that child care costs were because of government intervention, and then did the math and found out this isn’t the case.
Ha, would like to try Swurl on that! Must look awesome on a big mobile screen!
I have only worked at one place that wanted informative error messages.

All the others wanted to hide the reason because "if we know the reason and tell the user, we seem incompetent" or "then hackers will know which API call isn't working right" (apparently the network console in Chrome is beyond hackers) to wanting customers to be dependent as they paid for support.
Burnout can mean a lot of things, without precise and quantifiable definition, you cannot broad-brush this. Burnout can mean from "slight discomfort to challenges" to "suicidal" state of person. So I am giving general advice to build a sustainable career and if you're burned out and on the verge of suicide, you're going to have to find solace in some other type of work that gives you purpose and that you can master it.

Advice presented by others in this thread would lead to worse spiraling effect where bad work ethics would lead you to be worse at mastering things which would lead to even worse work ethics. Sustaining a career for decades requires careful attention to balance between work and life, ideally if both are coalesced (which many people here would gasp in horror). Even after a burnout.
i do the same thing work or not. Think.

Right now i think about how to re-define technical processes and patterns to reduce CFR, increase deploys etc.

When i was off work for a while i think about cooking, video games, restoring a car, emerging tech, how i can help others, refining social patterns etc.

There's not that long that I'm not thinking about something, just usually people pay me to think about something.
One scenario that would be a clear win for Putin is forcing Ukraine to formally concede the captured territories. After that he will have some peaceful time to prepare for the next round and wage the economic war against the West, where having the largest energy producers and largest manufacturer on his side, he has decent chances to win some ground as well
Which is fucked up, that shit should be opt in like anything else.
Happy you like it!

Thank you for your wise advice! I will have to choose carefully what to do and what not to do.
The tutorial included with the package's documentation also contains some examples:

The issue is the moral weight of action vs inaction. WFO advocate for action from people who don’t want to do this. WFH do not advocate for an action. WFO do suffer from inaction of WFH, but in almost every moral system suffering caused by inaction is preferable to suffering caused by forcing someone to act.
My wife stayed home for several years after we realized that nearly every dollar of post-tax, post-401K cashflow her job brought in went right out to childcare (and she had a well above US median household income, PhD-required job in science). She was happier; kids seemed happy; she's now back in the workforce at a similar role and happy with that transition back as well. (We did lose N years of 401K max contributions, but that seems totally worth it.)
