I assume "this job takes team bonding so seriously that when the boss tells you to get drunk with him or get in bed with another random employee, that's just part of the job, so don't work here if you're not cool with it" is always on the job description or at least disclosed up-front in a job interview so that everyone can make an informed decision about whether or not they're a good culture fit, right?
Probably meant “free time”?
That too. I also don't want to have to deal with marketing lol. There is a reason I am not interested in becoming an entrepreneur of anything.
>It's more then that for certain companies and teams.

It shouldn't be, and those companies should be sued, fined, and law-mandated out of existence, not excused.

>In japan the outside of work stuff is a requirement for every job.

And how does that work out for the family life, life-work balance, and fertility, suicide rates, and depression rates?

In some countries you can also be whipped or groped at work and nobody cares or it's even legal. Doesn't make it right either.
If it’s _mostly_ useless, could we implement what it is needed for in a simpler way?

If not, I wouldn’t call it overengineering.
Not coffee, but I've wondered this about stock. Recipe authors claim that the vegetables/meat have no more flavor to give, but I don't know if they've actually tested this.
Japan is admittedly a very interesting case. They are effectively forced to be social and maybe even environmentally conscious ( and little things there like segregating every piece of trash would drive me nuts ).

I still think parent is right despite overriding social mores. I believe individual has the right to 'self-select' ( and most reasonable people would at first opportunity, but there can be extenuating circumstances like, well, money ), but I also believe that once he/she is there, he/she has every right to stay in. The job may want more. The society may want more, but individual can always simply say no.

The work from home vs return office struggle is similar in nature even though it appears different on the surface.
Or normal conservatives who won’t get banned for linking to the nypost hunter biden story that is 100% true.
You may as well just SYN flood at that point. None of this is really new, you can take down a lot of TCP based servers with the right combination of packets and volume.
This looks brilliant. I'm a sucker for languages that offer strong support for relational modeling without slow metaprogramming hacks.
I read a transcript of an endocrinologist suggesting intermittent fasting (don’t eat after 6 and wait as long as you can before your first meal - start with 10am and keep pushing back as long as you can). Then eat only veggies for your first meal, then veggies and a deck of cards serving of meat for dinner.

Honestly, it sounds very difficult, but the doctor seemed very confident that this works. I have started trying this (not T2, but need to lose weight)

Anecdotally, a lot of people have suggested keto and low-carb diets having been successful for them.

The source was Tegus (https://www.tegus.com/) which my company had a free trial.
I hope not. I don't think HN should follow Indian or Cameroonian laws either. Why should it respect EU laws? Are EU laws more important than Republic of Peru laws?

Amazon’s innovation was abusing its FC and delivery network workers with abhorrent work conditions. Short term, some economic rearrangement will occur, long term hopefully these conditions improve with union representation. It’s the only way for these workers to improve these working conditions for themselves.

If Amazon service declines, or parts of the business aren’t sustainable, as I mentioned, no great loss. People having jobs that allow them to live with some dignity and control over their work environment is superior to the American consumer getting more consumer goods shoveled into their living room at the lowest price possible.

There will always be non-Amazon jobs, and if Amazon is the only employer in town, that’s a policy failure to be patched.
I said it was ridiculous to claim that Tether collapsing would cause "most major exchanges to go under". Congratulations on totally twisting my words though. "Most major exchanges" don't have much exposure to tether.
I think using data structures as an example is sort of missing the forest for the trees. It's definitely harder to do, but you generally don't need to as there's an excellent standard library and wider ecosystem of libraries that do this for you.

And implementing data structures in any language is hard. It's just a harder thing to do than most things because there's always gonna be a lot of gnarly implementation details and edgecases.

"Decoherence" is just packing up the mathematically unexplained phenomena in a box and not really addressing it.
DistroTube (A tech youtuber) pointed out this would probably happen - Mastodon servers seem to be a more polite place, and legions of upset twitter uses would just not fit into that culture.

On the flipside, I was last on twitter in 2020. Joined again recently out of curiosity, and it's a much more pleasant site. (Not attributing this to Musk, as I was not on twitter immediately before him). No longer has clickbait partisan news articles all over the front page, and it seems much easier to just follow chill people you find amusing rather than tempting you with cortisol spiking arguments all the time. YMMV.

I wonder what the wealth redistribution effects are in this scenario. I wonder if you’d achieve a similar effect by cutting 500B of taxes on the middle class, or if a lot of this money gets redistributed down to the low-taxpaying class.
I traveled from Kunming to Vientiane overland over a decade ago. At the time, the best way from Kunming to Laos was to take a sleeper bus to Luang Prabang. The roads were adequate on the China side of the border but unsafe in any kind of rain on the Laos side. On one Kunming—Luang Prabang trip to refresh my visa stay in China, I had to remain in LP for 3-4 extra days because the road washed out. This sort of thing was fairly regular so I was prepared, but still.

In that context, the China-Laos railway is mind blowing. It sounds like it comes at a very steep cost to Laos. Never the less, it’s an exciting development and I look forward to riding it north to Kunming once travel into China is less restricted by the zero COVID policy.
I qualified my comment with "in the US" because that is the limit of my informed opinion.

We're using a single end-to-end encrypted document tree synced with CRDTs for our collaborative task IDE[1]. All data for a team is a single tree (graph really, if you count transclusions) and its kind of magical how simple everything gets when you know all state will sync in a deterministic way between all clients. It doesn't matter whether you drag&drop some object or add a new user, or rename something. It all reduces to a handful of CRDT operations.

(We have a central server and the app works offline so the algorithm from the linked article doesn't apply in our case.)

Nobody thought to implement this as two separate installs? Or the dad insisted it had to be done his way and is now mad that what he wanted didn’t work after they told him not to go that way?

They say doctors make the worst patients. I’m getting a hint of that here.

As a regular MacOS stickes user this looks very promising!

Few requests:

- save sticky position on a website with scrollbar instead of being position fixed (scratch that, realised there is an option for that using right click -> pin to page, nice)

- change dimensions and position to use pixels instead of percent to preserve dimensions when changing browser size

- "minimized" sticky should display first line of the note
Right, see my reply to jcims but that's not all of matter. One could suppose I'm going senile and perhaps that's true but the fact is that I've been losing stuff like this since before I was a teenager.

I've figured out the problem: my mind is thinking about all sorts of seemingly important stuff all the time but which in fact is mostly garbage, so my subconscious mind handles what my conscious mind consideres as procedural or unimportant. As my conscious and subconscious minds aren't on speaking terms sufficient for my liking I often end up with the problem of lost stuff.

If I consciously tell myself where I've put something then I very rarely forget where it is. The trouble is I don't remind myself to make note often enough.
Aside from the basis of your comment being not really true (as mrunkel commented), every thread about Apple Silicon Macs is full of people praising the performance and battery life. This is more positive word-of-mouth than Apple's had in years.
I have worked in a consensus environment and I know it can work. The concern I have is when it doesn’t work.

It doesn’t take many sneaky sociopaths or psychopaths to subvert a system built on assumptions of good faith and good will. And even among good people, strong visions arise which may clash with other strong visions.

I need to know there is a clear method of resolving conflict, otherwise I am confident that all those smiling people are going to be carrying concealed knives.
Do other commenting websites (like Reddit, Disqus, ...) allow the user to delete an account and all the associated comments? I think Reddit only shows [deleted] next to a comment, with the comment still there.

Are they obliged to delete the comments according to laws like GDPR?

> Israel is not defined by ethnicity, I can get Israeli citizenship if I claim that I have converted to Judaism.

Don’t they only accept ultra-orthodox conversions?[1] Good luck with that.

Jewish conversion is much more akin to a tribal adoption into the community than it is to conversion in the other Abrahamic faiths. For Christianity, depending on the denomination, conversion can be as little as saying you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And in Islam literally all you have to do is sincerely say the shahada and you’re Muslim.

Edit: [1] looks like there was just recently a supreme court case permitting non orthodox conversions, but I expect the Knesset will overturn it.

Tank Man[1] is still one of the most powerful photographs ever taken IMHO.

Conflict-free replicated data type, or CRDT, is often referred to as simply “CRDT” in trade jargon without any definition. Apparently.
It’s a dependency injection pattern. The decorator is telling some other piece of code what to pass in to that method, or to set some hidden context.

> This lack of laziness (even on code that does notionally work without it) manifests in blowing stacks, in Scala at least.

Please don't spread FUD.

The std. lib functions in Scala are stack safe. (Simple, fast while loops under the hood when it comes to collections).

To pick up the `zip` example:

val r = (1 to 100_000_000).zip(1 to 100_000_000)

won't blow up with a stack overflow.

https://scastie.scala-lang.org/a4v5w1bKTeadQaPtK9CC5A

Also custom recursive functions can be made safe (for example by using trampolining).

You blow stack in Scala only when you explicitly ask for it by writing unsafe code. (Which is BTW something that applies to more or less all languages as almost nobody ever repeated the mistake to build a lazy by default language).

Way back when I first started learning to build web pages [when HTML4 was just a glint in Tim Berners-Lees eye], it was conidered bad form not to prvide a 'width' and 'height' attribute for an image you were placing on the page.

Because if you provided these, the browser would know how much space to leave for the image to occupy after it had downloaded [this was back in the dial-up modem days. So images usually loaded gradually after the rest of the page] and so the layout of the page would not change. Conversely, if you didn't provide 'width' and 'height' attributes, the browser would only leave a default small icon sized space for the image and then you'd have the page content move and shuffle about as each image downloaded and the rest of the page content got elbowed out of the way, to accommodate it.

It's funny how such basic concepts of usability seem to have fallen by the wayside in our new modern Web3 [or whatever version buzzword we're on now] in favour of moving content, modal overlays and the like. And, since so many sites these days just aggregate content from countless other external sources, even that basic notion of pre-defining your image sizes is often neglected too.
You made edits, so I will address those:

>Doing hard drugs, as is alcohol, is not part of any legal contract.

Right but there's more to life then legal contracts. Many companies want a very close knit team. Part of this closeness comes from participating in extracurricular activities.

Look beyond the legalities. If a team expects this and you know you don't want to provide this to the team, THEN why are you choosing to work for them? Why are you insisting on using the law to protect your employment for a company that obviously doesn't want you?

Join the team that works for you. If you withdraw from all hard drugs, JOIN the company that doesn't HAVE that culture or leaves that CULTURE as OPTIONAL.

For this guy in the article he joined a team that wasn't a good fit for him. Him getting fired was correct, he never fitted in. But I will say what's likely unfair is that the "fun" part should've been part of the job description. They should've put it in there, not explicitly but implied it such that this guy knew what he was getting into.
It's possible to go back and delete individual posts, which hn doesn't allow.
If the website serves EU users and collects any personal data then it must follow GDPR. Fwiw, I think following Indian laws isn't an insane thing either seeing as tech is global and India is 4x bigger than the US - although I don't think there's any laws quite like GDPR in India that'd actually matter.
>Find a job where no one expects you to drink. Simple.

It's not the job of a fucking employer to expect you to drink or not drink. Except if you work at a hostess bar.

It shouldn't even be put as an option to "expect you to drink". Like employees shouldn't also "just find a job where they don't except you to laught at their sexist remarks at you" should not be an option.

>BUT there are teams where this is sort of expected.

There are also teams were sexual harassment, racism, bullying etc is expected. So?
You've fallen back on nothing more than thinly-veiled personal attacks to back up your opinion.
You are likely right ( but people rarely contest performance charges by employer as far as I know ). Apologies. I think I need to add some disclaimers. I am not a lawyer. I am just a guy on the internet. There are 50 states each with their own interpretations so before you do anything, consult a lawyer ( especially now with a potential wave of layoffs if you think you were not treated fairly ).

I feel like pessimistic models like these often miss induced demand. That is with better tools that makes the job easier you open the way to produce more. Stuff that otherwise wouldn’t get animated actually does, by virtue of the craft becoming easier.

I find it odd (but predictable) that people miss this. We’ve seen proliferation of other specialized craft in the past as the tools get better, particularly in programing. And it is not like non-linear systems are that rare among people that are looking into AI and making predictions around it.

Animation is an amazing craft, our culture would for sure benefit from having more of it, and as more and more stuff gets animated, more people are probably gonna get jobs doing it, despite the fact—or even because of the fact—that every individual can produce more of it then before.

That last point is a doozy. Mastodon servers can be as bad as subreddits with power tripping mods, and you don’t necessarily know that until the day you cross a line that you didn’t know existed, just like on reddit.

And then your account gets nuked and you can’t migrate your posts.

Going from one server (Twitter) to multiple smaller servers doesn’t seem to go far enough on the axis to address major issues that Twitter has. e.g. you still don’t “own” your content.
