For 2021, the median household income in the entire United States was above $67k, at ~$70k. And the median rent in Manhattan is allegedly $4k (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/09/realestate/manhattan-rent...) (and the average is allegedly $5k, https://www.curbed.com/2022/08/new-york-rents-july-record-hi...), which renders a ~$150k income much less comfortable.
Say your podcasts app normally uses 25% of one core of a quad-core, 3Ghz, hyperthreaded CPU when the system has at least 32GB RAM

Now you toss it on a dual-core 1.4Ghz box with 8GB RAM

Should it use 65% of one core? 95% of one core? Something else?

You cannot possibly test every combination out there

The best you can hope to do is verify minimum system requirements (2GB RAM free, 1Ghz dedicated CPU, etc) and hope for the best

I think their main focus is allowing people to code who only have a mobile phone, so my guess is iPad is a lower priority (because most people with iPads have full size computers they can use instead).
Yes that would be cool cloudflare CTO!

Not show how I could trigger that... any thoughts? I would need to correlate that search with a person, then know that he is super active on hackernews and find out the unique username. Problem is hackernews maybe isn't SEOed super well, so your profile doesn't show up in the results....

Let me know if you have any ideas on how....
Haha. Throwing shade this early.
Just updated Brave. Looking forward to not seeing any EU Cookie Banners ever again. :)
Replacing one ad system with another ad system/modality doesn't negate the presence of ads. It just changes the modus operandi. Much like getting your daily nicotine kick from vapes instead of cigarettes.

The ideal situation would be to have no ads if the browser is (often) advertised privacy-first. But then we know the world isn't perfect. We work around tradeoffs.

As long as Brave keeps these contentious options transparent, I have no problems in supporting them.
> Your needs for immediate satisfaction do not supersede the longterm welfare of your progeny.

not to put too fine a point on it, but 'need for immediate satisfaction' is just how it works imho.

not really sure why you are beeing downvoted apart from 'less' always beeing a tough sale.
Well of course it's not ideal. Employees are people and people come with imperfections.

I've worked with employees distracted by kids. Distracted by substance abuse. Distracted by mental illness. Distracted by video games, TV, something on their phone, or even just a basic disinterest in the job.

When we talk about the job market as a whole -- such as in the article above -- it doesn't help to focus on a hyper-selective section of capable, skilled software engineers. The vast majority of workers are in a much messier, less efficient and effective environment.
I distinctly remember being 6 or 7 drifting to sleep one night and suddenly visualising what it would be like if there existed nothing at all, not even empty space but nothing, no Universe and nothing ever happening ever or anywhere. It was terrifying.

It was about the same time that a family member had died so I was coming to terms with the fear of dying for the first time, so I guess that's what triggered this.
It looks like you have a problem, but your solution is not to make people go back to a damn office just because you cannot handle email/zoom
Well good we went there a while ago, we are in Australia and my wife had always wanted to go so we flew to Berlin for a week and spent most of a night and day there.

The music was so loud it turned your clothes into vibrating panels sympathetic to the speakers.

Everyone was very friendly, it was a great experience, though we were worried we might get refused at the door, but straight thru.
You're right, I was viewing from a Windows machine (Chrome), and I haven't checked it on my Mac yet. I will try and do it on the weekend if I remember or have the time. I honestly think there's a lot you can do on the UI side, especially if you plan on having people commit to using this engine on a daily basis.
> Are "regular people" really filling out a modal form on every site they visit?

Many of us use Reader view which gets rid of all the junk. There are times when it doesn't work, and for that I just close the page and read something else. But it works something like 90% of the time or more.
It's a shame they didn't tell anyone about it, maybe they could have avoided that class-action lawsuit if they were a bit more transparent.
I think all those answering should have to disclose if they are a parent or not.

How could you make it work better by strengthening it? There are decades of work in economics point to how shitty the Jones Act is. It punishes island territories and makes US ship building less competitive.

My father worked for a large telecommunications provider in the late 90's, after their merger he was left as the site manager but with no employees. Just him and the custodial staff in the building for ~2 years. The site was 7 minutes from our house and was mostly defunct. He'd show up at 9am, come home for lunch, then back to the office and leave at 3. Occasionally he'd need to reboot something or ship back infrastructure but primarily he would spend his time watching historical Korean dramas on PBS and learned conversational Korean from it.
Been out for a while for sure,

The USA has a prime example of what would happen if they removed the patriot act, that is shipbuilding industry in Canada. The industry need doesn't sustain itself at those costs and Canada's cost for labour are much lower than the US's.

We are trying to reboot the industry here and I am not kidding when I say it will take 2-4 decades so I can only imagine what the US will lose if they give up the Jones act.
This assumes that your optimal employer exists in the same location as your parents. Unfortunately that is not always the case, at least before WFH.
Go find some friends. I don't want to be dragged to the office to be your friend as you otherwise have none.
is it really down?
If the problem description is correct then it is not correct to say cloudflare is down. It have problems with new deployments (updating settings). But the website and services are working.
brew.sh backend is git.

This is not a good idea however. Anything you install that has thousands of files will slow down brew substantially during updates. GitHub has had issues specifically with brew.sh misusing their service.

Git should not be a backend for any application, it was not designed for such purpose...and you will be violating GitHub or any source host TOS.
Heh, I received a spam email through my gmail which bypassed the spam filters and decided to investigate. It had DKIM signing as the sender was an Exchange 365 mailbox. The spam message originated from an Amazon SES which hooked through a compromised Exhange 365 mailbox. I contacted Microsoft Security Response with the Exchange mailbox in question to get this bullshit response.

The activity reported is associated with a customer account within the Microsoft Azure service. Microsoft Azure provides a cloud computing platform in which customers can deploy their own software applications. Customers, not Microsoft, control what applications are deployed on their account.

So why are even we using DKIM at all if bad actors can abuse an open cloud TOS.
>Since when do they care about consumers?

Since forever. Since when Donny slapped a 35% tariff on S.Korean major home appliances all prices in US jumped 35%, without change in quality - CATO institute called it and it definitely hit consumers.

Jone's Act doesn't prevent that...
At what point was it alluded that the Jones Act was to make things cheaper? This is the first I hear of this. (I am actually asking, not rhetorical.)
I agree with your comment 100% but the closing line is ridiculously beside the point. I also really don't get how anyone reads into my post that I want to force everyone to come back to the office all the time. My whole point was that I sometimes feel like I'm the only one missing certain things about working in a co-located manner and, you're absolutely right there, I forgot to factor in some very import background factors like the country you're working from.
All of it? ;)
Personally I think it's because we're "looking" at it from the wrong angle. A bit like in programming when you're stuck and you need to take a step back and approach the problem differently. IMHO the fundamental construct is probably something way more abstract, i.e. "information", with some laws that we aren't even aware of yet that will probably challenge the principle of locality.
You can't have walkable if each person has a lot of space.
We're very social animals, I wonder if the aimless surfing is the "interact with people" instinct misfiring.

I've noticed that when I have a choice, the tasks that I pick first are the ones that somebody else will see the results of. It'd be interesting to hear the experience of a couple friends who'd taken a couple months off and worked together on a project. I bet they'd be pretty productive. Although it would be hard to coordinate.
Look for Connections by James Burke. Try YouTube.
I believe that’s been your experience, but it hasn’t been mine. I’ve had mostly positive support experiences with AWS.
Forget stack traces.

I've met multiple "web developers" (actually working on the backend or "full-stack", building API servers and whatnot) who came complaining about this or that server being "unreachable" and could I check it's up / whether the firewall allows them through. Only to find they were getting HTTP 404 errors or the like. Which were explicit in the errors they'd show me.

Show HN: An OSS developer data platform on your laptop in a few steps
Tigris is an OSS developer data platform that provides all the building blocks you need to build data-rich applications without the Ops burden. This is the first of a series of blog posts where we show you how to deploy Tigris in various environments. In this first post of the series, we will show you how to set up the Tigris platform on your laptop. In our next posts, we will cover deploying Tigris on EKS and GKE.
The process for teaching it a word depends critically on not hitting the space bar or return key or any other punctuation.

If you pause at the end of the word, either the first time or after correcting it, and don’t hit any key, it’ll throw up the “suggestion X” popup. Tapping X on that popup teaches it the word.

I, and a lot of others, will backspace to correct a word, then hit space, and then it immediately undoes the correction, because hitting the space bar is indicating “you can go ahead and autocorrect this as you would in everyday typing”.

This training method isn’t documented anywhere that I know of, has worked for years (perhaps for all time?), and is the opposite of well-known. I am really upset with Apple for that last one especially.
Anti-Xi Jinping Posters Are Spreading in China via AirDrop
In one memorable account, I spoke to a scientist working in some kind of environmental management role - where her husband ended up taking the job she would have otherwise by rank and seniority and she took a lesser role on the team so that she could stay home, IE: he did the field work, she did the office stuff. They had two kids and couldn't find care any longer for the kids as it was a supply-side issue.

There's been this impression out there that Millenials (who are at child-bearing age now) are less likely to have children. It would be interesting to research if they are just sort of "late bloomers" who perhaps by virtue of WFH or maybe other TBD factors have decided it's now time to start a family.

Surely all biological parents' kids could be identified from the parent's DNA? Or failing that, grabbing basically anything from the kids house/room: tooth brush? hairbrush? shoes/socks? these all seem like easy ways to get a DNA sample from a parent for their child.

Well you believe in the absence of Zeus, don't you? Then why doesn't that make you an atheist? (Hint: it does, since you're atheistic about a hell of a lot more Gods than any you might choose to believe in. So you're at least 99.99% atheist, or 100% atheist as the number of Gods goes to infinity.)
Faster Analytics with Apache Arrow
That's an unfair comparison to cellular though as cellular has its own licenced spectrum with nobody else able to interfere, high transmit power limits and potentially a friendlier frequency for the sort of waveguiding you're talking about.

That's why I find the smartsky comparison so interesting - because it's a completely level playing field.
I hate these non-answer answers, but anyway.

I would consider moving before getting a second job which saps even more of your finite time. I have never regretted moving to a completely new place, but keep in mind, "wherever you go, there you are".

> Lacking objective, or structure in the day, I found myself playing video games or surfing web pretty much all day.

I think the key is to identify these timesinks and to eliminate them one-by-one. Often these are dopamine-hijacking activities.

So, suppose you decided to yourself that you are not going to be surfing the web at all, or limit it to a strictly scheduled timeslot, or only use the web when you have a specific purpose in mind.

Suppose you did the same with videogames - limit it to a specific timeslot in your week, or eliminate it altogether.

What would you do then? What would you find yourself doing if you found yourself in living conditions where you do not have access to such easy entertainment?

You would probably get very bored at first. That's great! The first step is to stop seeing boredom as something to be avoided at all costs. It is ok to be bored - in fact it is good to be bored. Sit with it and do not allow yourself to fall back onto the easy entertainment options.

You will find that after a while you are actually just going to pick up that physics textbook you meant to study off the shelf - or end up doing whatever interesting project you thought you would be doing. It will be easy, interesting and natural. Just like it was when you were a child on summer holidays and probably didn't have access to unlimited video games, broadband internet or other dopamine-hijacking forms of easy entertainment!

Just eliminate the timesinks from your life one-by-one and allow yourself to become bored.
I get the urge to quantify everything, but please: just relax, enjoy your children, and stop worrying about calculating life like this.
Autocorrect has always been problematic - there are loads of websites devoted to such fails [0]

You've got three basic options:

- disable autocorrect and see just how bad a typist you really are (related: setup your own autocorrect shortcuts)

- use a different keyboard (Grammarly is one popular choice (though I don't use it anymore on mobile...I too often use my phone where LTE is spotty))

- type slower to not plow past the autocorrect options

> women have stepped up for their families often to the detriment of their own careers

Forcing 2 household incomes was/is awful for a healthy society. Women are the only humans that can produce children and they have to do it during a relatively short time window - especially if we want to reproduce at replacement level. Raising children should be regarded as one of the most important things a woman can do because they’re the only ones that can do it.

I’m not sure how western society will continue if we view raising a child instead of having a career as “stepping up”. It’s certainly disrespectful to all the mothers of our future.
https://github.com/m13253/VxWireguard-Generator

I'm using that in production with Babel (managing dynamic routes) with great success. Tinc had been solid for us for years, but once I actually payed attention to the performance hit, it was worth a bit of hassle to make it work over wireguard.
"Remote work" has always existed in one form or another for some of us but, for the majority, it all started a couple of years ago as "not work at work". For better or worse, that is the new colloquial meaning of "remote work".
> the horror of commute

> the noise-cancelling headphone stop-sign

If the larger issues here were fixed maybe more people wouldn't be so dead set on never setting foot into an office.

Rip up most of the zoning laws and keep things dense with a lot of light rail to get people into the office and more people might find the commutes tolerable. Kill off the suburbia 45 minute single occupancy vehicle hell that most cities are build around these days in America.

Stop with the open office plans that for over a decade studies have been showing to do nothing more than increase distraction.
>Discussing our team's latest Python problems over a coffee. Looking over at their screen and then asking them why they look like they want to beat someone over the head with their keyboard repeatedly.

Yes. People miss that.

> Guessing people's emotions in a heated Retro from their body language.

Noone misses this shit.

> Grabbing dinner with a few colleagues after a long workshop meeting in the evening and then realizing that, aside from all the differences we might have about static typing in programming languages, we all like the same exotic progressive metal bands.

Miss it.

> On the contrary, many are screaming in outrage if asked to come to the office even for a single day a week and threaten to quit.

Noone gives a shit if you go into the office or not - just like you shouldn't give a shit if they choose to stay home.

> Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary. But are those really the majority?

This has nothing to do with WFH. You mentioning it here almost makes it seem like you think WFHers don't give a shit. I hope that you are not of that opinion, because that's very short sighted and won't make people happy.

> Have I been under some weird form of Stockholm Syndrom where I actually enjoyed something that was pure torture to most? Have a lot of people realized they don't actually like being among other people, apart from their closest friends and family?

No. Most people like positive, in-person social interactions. But people on either side should still fight for choice. It reminds me of access to abortion rights. The team that is fighting for choice here is not saying that either everyone gets an abortion or noone does. Its that each person can choose how they want to work. People need to learn to respect others who make a different choice.

> And finally, I feel no one else is realizing that they are happily hacking away at the amazingly well-paid branch they're sitting on.

Outsourcing has been a thing for decades. People need to be good at their jobs. Don't treat your location as a competitive moat.

> All in all, there is a gnawing feeling in me that Covid made a significant dent on the once fun (Berlin Startup) tech working culture for good. And worse, I suspect there is gonna be more consequences down the road for the tech job market at large that few people seem to see.

Covid is a pandemic. There is also a war going on. The current cycle of cheap debt is coming to a close. These are not fun times.

> I know that "the office" is a bad place for a lot of people. There may be product managers that ignore the noise-cancelling headphone stop-sign and make you lose your stack of thoughts just to ask if the dev app URL is still the same it was yesterday. There can be bad managers and unpleasant situations all around. But shouldn't we rather work on fixing those things instead of making them bearable by just turning off a camera in a Zoom meeting?

The fix is simple: allow people to choose to work from wherever they want.
There was a variation of this theme that I thought was better written. Its about a guy who finds himself in a similar situation due to multiple rounds of mergers and layoffs and he is kept employed for some compliance reason which gets forgotten by the company. They at some point ship him a cellphone, so he travels and other stuff. This goes on for years.

Can't find this anymore, anyone know what I'm referring to?
Or Kotlin. People usually complain about JVM but lots of enterprise software runs on it. Spring boot ecosystem provides lots ready to use libraries. Kotlin can be much easier to use compared to Java.
Yes Go can be better language now, but still lacks lots of library and API support. And Rust, I'd rather code in jvm language fast and ship it fast than building up whole infrastructure that takes way more time to implement.
The combined firm, post-merger, would have 15% of the U.S. grocery market. Walmart has ~18%.

It's OK to dislike the deal because you see a beloved brand being absorbed. It's even OK to dislike the deal because you hate private equity.

But aggregating up to a 15% market share doesn't look like a monopoly concern to me.
