Come on... people work far less than they ever did before, that should be pretty obvious if you just think about it.

Further, tons of "work" is done with zero physical strain, lots of those "work" hours are the in-between stuff -- travel, meetings, calls, lunches -- meaning that actual hours laboring are even less.

I noticed the same thing in myself. Free time, especially a long block of it can just be wasted. Sometimes that’s a sort of necessary mental reset but it made me think about what I’d do when i retired.

I came to the conclusion, like you, that structure is good. Without structure it’s really hard to get started on things or feel a sense of progress.

Now if i take a long break i treat it like i used to back in college days. I have a schedule, high level goals and daily to-do lists. Those lists have productive things as well as free time or gaps of a fixed length to fill with whatever i want.

Sounds hellish when i write it out but without it I’m all about cat videos and noodling around on my guitar. Suddenly a month has passed.
Because the US Navy patrols the waters and keeps piracy down. The areas it doesn't patrol are infested with pirates. It costs quite a bit to do this, and if the US Navy steps back other countries will have to step up.

I assume Brave will continue to rely on Google's app store for extensions. When Manifest v2 stops being supported, aren't v2-based extensions going to fade away?
I agree. It is really good. But I also want the ability to select my sources. For example, I don't care about Instagram or Pinterest either but there may be people who don't care about twitter.

My recommendation is to show everything by default and let the user "uncheck" the source for now. In phase 2 may be, you could make that a User level setting/default.

One source to add: HN :). For example, I know some very well known people are very active on HN. It will be nice to pull their comment history right there :). For example, "cloudflare CTO".
Yep. I also wanted to respond to this. My team had actual data that showed our productivity increased when we went fully remote. We also cut a full hour out of our work day (went from 8 to 7 hours per day).

In the strictest sense of the word they _are_, but they lose a significant portion of their rights as citizens, even after serving their mandated sentence and "paying their debt to society" or whatever. I would actually argue that ex-cons aren't citizens in the practical sense specifically because they lose out on a bunch of rights they could freely exercise before their conviction.

And before we get into a debate about whether ex-cons "deserve" rights, their sentence is supposed to be them paying their debt to society. Why shouldn't their rights be restored after that?
But why do it at all? There's no evidence that the Jones Act has worked. The US ship building industry lags far behind places like South Korea that churn out bigger, better, and cheaper ships on a faster basis. South Korean ship builders aren't poorly paid either, they just have to compete on a global market.

Reads like a Chuck Palahniuk novel
"The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance." - The CryptoNaturalist

We think ourselves as a stone monument "I'm productive" "I'm this or that", but the truth is what we do daily defines who we are, without the forcing procedure of work we lose our daily rituals and just become something else. People see this at retirement as well when they lose the structure of a regular job and need to manage their own time.

You are what you eat, and you are what you do regularly.
You don’t need to care less, but it helps.

If I may: consider it an achievement to work for 60 minutes with heavy focus. Sincerely do so, and even reward yourself with some sort of token for it to represent the effort you did. Use larger tokens for milestones. Over the weeks, these tokens will help motivate you to pull yourself out of your slump and feel good about your work again

I'm working on a simple IDE for a purely functional language, it's basically a text editor with a pure FP language as the "macro language", if you will.

When it came time to add strings and I/O I realized that it would mess up purity to provide the typical POSIX-ish filesystem APIs, so I thought, what if I denote strings (of byte sequences, or even bits) as a three-tuple of (hash offset length) backed by a git object store?

The IDE uses a git repo as its fundamental base or environment, you can only edit files that are in the repo (there is an "import" function (aka "git add") of course.) This includes source code and any string literals so your strings already automatically have a three-tuple, and this is true for selections as well.

The obvious thing then is to have (pure) functions that convert these three-tuples into, say, a list of 0..255 ints, or UTF-8 codes, or a (possibly multidimensional) array of floats or whatever...

It seems to work out nicely so far.
Err, this sorta proves my point re: a younger staff...
I'm not sure that it's possible to lose skills in this way unless they completely fall out of practice. Seems like a situation where you learn that you won't grow in a particular way can only lead to a better understanding of the narrow path to fulfilling growth and development.

Just my viewpoint though.

Within a specific role....no.

Within an org or job type after making a change. Yes.

I learned long ago to maintain hobby's that scratch certain itches that my career also does (ie: engineering, problem solving, analytical thinking etc), but work with different levels of 'criticality'.

I also matain hobby's that work different parts of my brain (ie: music/creativity and fishing/hunting/no tech).

Combined they help with burnout.

What i have noticed in the last year or two is that I am burning out on life, not work. Work is fine. But people in general are burning me out. Again, that has had me focus more on the isolating type hobbies as an escape (ie: fishing/working on things in the house etc)
When it comes to remote work, WFH, and WFO, and realized that I do like working from an office, just not if it requires living in the Bay Area. It’s way, way too overpriced if you want to own a home here, and the marginally higher Bay Area compensation is washed away once you’re in the market to buy a house.

So my personal preference is (1) WFO for a Bay Area company in a non-Bay Area office to combine good comp and good quality of life, (2) WFH remotely, (3) WFO in the Bay Area, and lastly (4) WFH in the Bay Area.

Ask HN: How to get more experience with system design questions (esp scaling)?
Hi HN,

I've recently gone through a few interviews where I did poorly on system design questions like "design twitter." The interviewers expressed a wish to see me go more in depth on technologies, but I simply don't have much experience in any of them, as my current role is heavily ML focused and issues of scaling were long-ago solved by my large employer.

My question is are there any recommendations for ways to get more experience on system design? For most things it'd be as simple as "start a project revolving around X" but for scaling.. you kind of need users first. Was wondering how to get around this problem.

Thanks
Nicely written piece with clear examples. It would be great to know the impact of this work. Perhaps one metric to look at would be the number of tickets submitted to customer care?

Thank you for providing pre-set examples on your site. That's one of the major barriers on these types of tools to "test" especially when you're not sure where/how/if the images are public.
I tried exactly this approach! What I got was a bunch of developers copy-pasting the error message with helpful URL at me and demanding to know what they should do. The number who followed the link and fixed the problem themselves was shockingly small.

Going out on a limb, I think we're all going astray by trying to parse the error messages our fellow developers are reacting to. A great many seem to handle any unfamiliar or unexpected error message by giving up, no matter how friendly or informative or helpful it may be.

Working in person with other people is a joy sometimes. I miss the energy of the office. It also sucks other times when you want heads down focus. I think it really does depend on your role and current projects. It also depends on your life situation. I always walked to the office or moved so I had an easy commute. But this doesnt work for everyone either if you have roots in a community for instance.

To me at the end of the day people are optimizing for time and money. If we make offices more convenient and cheaper than working from home people will pick that option. But right now if you move to a cheap city and work from home that is the cheapest option with least commute by far. i hear a lot of chatter from vcs who think startups that work in person have an advantage, but in big companies maybe the calculus is different.

In the end remote work is here to stay, but companies will make the best business decision in the end whether that means seeing better results by paying people more to stay in office or getting outcompeted by companies that hire globally and remotely.

> Tell a different story, there's plenty of possible "room" to fit it in

So much this. And it can be done without any additional information from the works not covered by the existing movie rights - after all, most of the information about the Third Age exists pretty much only (at least in a finished form) in the Appendices to LotR.

Story of the fall of Arnor/Arthedain, including defeating the Witch King? Story of the Kin-strife in Gondor? Fighting the Corsairs of Umbar?

In fact, a story I would pay gold to see, and which can easily be tied into the films, is the one about the exploits of young Aragorn - as a Ranger in the North, then in the courts of Gondor and Rohan, and in the lands of Rhun and Harad. Even the title writes itself: "Where the Stars are Strange"...
Any recommendations about marketing books ?
The age of the parents is irrelevant in this, it's simply an observation that older children are less work than younger children (approaching zero as they're adults, obviously). The only time this might be relevant is if you're having kids at such an old age that you're going to be retiring before they're independent, which is rare for men and bordering on impossible for women.
I think it's a fair criticism of the jones act that it hasn't delivered on its goals of keeping a vibrant commercial shipbuilding and shipping industry in the US for the purpose of supporting our military in case of war. Is seven active shipyards sufficient if we need to mobilize a war effort? Do ships matter as much to logistics in modern warfare? Is our domestic production capable of building trans-oceanic capable ships when international shipping is not protected?

Similarly, the costs of the act are not evenly distributed, with Puerto Rico and Hawaii particularly burdened by higher shipping costs.
Repealing the Jones Act would be great for the US economy. It is an artificial constraint on internal trade, and trade is the single most useful tool for prosperity.

It does not achieve its goal. Its goal is to ensure internal trade is not foreign dependent. However, what really happens is domestic trade is replaced by international trade!

A great example is liquid natural gas in Massachusetts. Massachusetts cannot buy LNG from sellers in the US because there are no Jones Act compliant ships that carry LNG.

So we buy from Trinidad instead. Literally billions of dollars flowing out of the country because of this regulation.
Awesome job! This makes me a bit envious. I am hobbyist colorizer [1] who did it the old school way (with tools like Affinity Photo and lot of manual work). I tried de-oldify and other tools but I justified my work thinking how horrible they were but pallette.fm is way too good. Not sure if I would find the motivation to restore old photos anymore. Glad that this was just a small hobby for me and I had just started learning the ropes.

But I would be dead scared if I was a professional[2] who did this full-time. Is this what AI taking your job feels like?

I’m not sure what climate change skepticism has to do with reforestation efforts or environmentalism, more broadly. Generalizing those with different opinions than you as lacking nuance doesn’t seem particularly nuanced to me either.

As a climate change skeptic I’m very much in favor of having more trees around, having less pollution in general, and don’t really care for the idea of covering up vast swaths of native grasslands with solar panels. Reforestation seems like a pretty good way to take advantage of higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
What "hollowed out middle class" in America are things like "The Jones Act".

The major problem in America is not foreign competition. The barrier to industry is not opening up relations with China.

The major problem in America, and has been since at least the 1970s is a managerial crisis. It is a crisis imposed on the working class by incompetent monolithic bureaucracies in government and in corporate culture.

The problem is exactly the sort of problems imposed on the public by things like the "Jones Act". It is that incompetent buffoons attempt to impose rules on the country to accomplish one thing, which fails utterly, and then has a whole host of undesirable side effects that are aggressively ignored and/or downplayed by apologists like yourself.

It is this managerial crisis that saw the rise of massive conglomerates in the 60s and 70s that ate up industry all over the midwest, liquidated them, and leveraged the assets to purchase more small and medium business. This was considered marvels of efficiency then... which in actually has turned out to be a series of accountancy scams and pyramid schemes that all hinged on exploiting incompentely design regulation.

It is the protectionism and subsidies and cronyism in this country that has destroyed it's competitiveness.

It has never been, and probably never will be, the willingness of the American worker to compete with foreign labor.

Advocating for more protectionism and cronyism and regulatory capture is going to make the problem worse, not better.

Here’s an example of train commuter fares in the Bay Area: https://www.caltrain.com/fares. Travel from San Mateo to San Francisco (3 zones, around 20 miles) is $200/month. That’s the discounted fare for a ticket. It doesn’t cover parking or travel to/from the train. If you need transportation to/from the train it can add another $50-$100 per month for fares, or more for parking fees and gas consumption for drivers.

And BART (a different rail system) is even more expensive.

That’s not negligible: that’s almost three hours of work for me to cover the cost (pre-tax). And I’m fairly well paid. Most engineers aren’t paid half as well. It’s a much bigger hit for them.
There is a very active segment on HN who has a raging hate boner for anything having to do with crypto, so much so that a pro crypto statement will get downvoted drastically in a few minutes.

However that is a minority (and my pro crypto comments usually recover to +3 or 4 a few days after), and most of us are here because we like good technology.

So that is why Brave is relatively popular here: we don't think it is shady.

You're not helping your case by starting your list with three examples that have strong indications of criminality. Is law enforcement expected to not investigate criminals just because they're in or running for political office? It seems like it would be more straightforward for Republicans to just distance themselves from criminals, rather than closing ranks and adopting some post-reality persecution complex.
I feel exactly the same. The work I do seem to matter less to me when my whole interaction of my team is online.I used to extract so much personal satisfaction from work and now it's just a little bit. I am locked in this situation, though, because there is no way I am finding in Brazil a WFO job that pays as good as a remote job from a US company.
I live in Puerto Rico. I'm curious about the actual mechanics of how the Jones Act affects PR. For context, I'm against the Jones Act regardless of the exact effects it may or may not have---but I'm still curious about the mechanics.

For instance, I used to believe we couldn't get produce from the DR without it first going through a US port (typically Jacksonville).

But in reality, the Jones Act doesn't prevent ships from bringing DR produce directly to PR, even foreign ships.

I'd like to get a specific example of something economically useful that the Jones Act forbids.

For instance, you couldn't have a trade route by a DR ship that goes San Juan -> Ponce -> DR, if you want to be able to pick up goods in San Juan and drop them in Ponce. But is that really useful, anyway?

Perhaps allowing non-US ships to brings goods between Florida and PR would be the biggest gain of dropping the Jones Act? Because shipping would be much cheaper. Like the case in the article where it's cheaper to bring fuel to the Northeast from Africa than from Texas.
