Maybe the government could offer a tax rebate for having a leased unit instead then increase taxes on all rentable properties?
WSL2 is slow, even accounting for NTFS. It is painfully slow. Accessing the Linux volume from Windows is also slow. WSL1 was faster too.

It makes backing up the linux home directory painful.

Importantly they said fundamental need and not fundamental right, though I find it a bit disgusting how someone could be so strongly opposed to helping people meet their basic needs. Isn't that what society is for?
It's not really a problem in today's market, IMO.

I've yet to have my string of short tenures ever really hold me back. The biggest issue is that you will have to regrind the leetcode gauntlet and go through a dozen more onsites to get that reasonable job offer again. That is the true pain.
There's a one bedroom flat in Moldovia that's a perfect fit for you. They will also deliver meals every day. Of course, you don't get to choose which flat or which meal. Choice is freedom, and freedom is never free.
if you are not making a joke, you've sure cocked up your comment.
Right, if you can get them into a contract it's a poison pill for your employment to enforce it with lawyers. Perhaps the math works out, but given we are seeing a turning tide in the tech labor market, I'd say it would be difficult to attain a contract like that now.
Did you or anyone else take a pay decrease when you went remote because you weren’t paying for gas/depreciation/time anymore? Otherwise this point is moot.
Okay, and now half the devs simply decide to not deal with the issue of licensing and just business source everything. Congrats, that's definitely the better world to code in, right?
AFAIK: technically only a limited amount of companies and people are sanctioned, but the sanction list includes most if not all Russian banks... So I think Patreon, etc, or their banks would be scared about transferring money to his bank account.

I wonder if external banking is possible: a Russian goes to a supermarket in Russia, he buys food, he pays by transferring money from his e.g. Swiss bank account to the supermarket owner's Swiss bank account. The supermarket owner wins because s/he basically managed to trade local goods for foreign currency (the Ruble is on shaky ground), the customer wins because he gets to eat.

I think I remember paying for a hotel in Russia using PayPal but transferring the money to a German bank account of the hotel owner's cousin or something...
Sounds like a good idea from a compliance and risk side of things to require a particular comms platform.

It never does, but what more could have been done?

The regulations existed and were illegally broken.
It might be helpful to have an opinion on this tax. Perhaps this is one of the more useful ones. Not all taxes are bad, but agreed that SF seems to miss the mark more often than not.
> If a dev releases his work free-as-in-libre and/or free-as-in-beer, they don't get to complain if the donations are "insufficient".

Of course they get to complain. Complaining and doing nothing to change the situation is what's problematic.

Doing work without reward, even if you did not expect any in the first place, can be soul-sucking, and it is totally normal to complain about it.

You don't do FOSS for the recognition/glory, but complaining about the hatred, hypocrisy, and complete lack of respect of the industry towards FOSS is normal.

The backlash he got after he "dared" ask for help was completely uncalled for. I'd even say this, it's the user who does not get to complain, let's remind everyone of what most FOSS licenses include:

You get a message during `npm install` from the dev asking for funding and a job? Tough shit, you don't get to complain because you're not paying him.
This should apply to commercial as well as residential real estate.
Coffee is an anti-thiamine factor (because of compounds like caffeic acid, which also exist in Dcaf). It also hinders absorption of thiamine and minerals such as iron. Other than modifying nutrient absorption, it also has benefits, such as raising stomach acid, which is beneficial for protein rich meals. So coffee with a real breakfast (eg., hash browns and eggs) should be beneficial.

Coffee on an empty stomach is not good over repeated long term occasions, as it leads to cortisol spikes. If empty-stomaching coffee, it is a good time to pop some trace metal and mineral pills (iron, manganese, zinc, selenium, chromium, moly, boron, magnesium).

Any problems with thiamine are easily reversed via thiamine supplementation. I try to take B-50 complex two or three times a week, and a thiamine supplement on alternate days, roughly at the same frequency.

Coffee does seem to have net benefits. It's good against brain cloud.
Why does everything need to be binary? Or even linear. To the extent it suits Twitter, Twitter can act one way at specific time, and another way at another time.
Since twitter both makes up and enforces the rules. The game can be rigged.
But that doesn't mean that in general they want the appearance of things being fair, so that people are willing to play and engage with their platform.

A paid off ref will not make every call against the other team, less he be lynched by the crowd, and the league lose all credibility.

To the extent Trump got special treatment, he was the star of twitter.

Also, you had a voting situation where voting rules where changed (mass mail in voting) that disproportionally favoured one candidate. A significant portion of the country questioned the results. And by the words of J6 committee, the country was on the brink of Insurrection.

If we're going to play this binary game.
You can either have elections you can't question. Or an election process in which the candidate can't publicly question, or protest the results.
So which one is it?

And to the extent Twitter was influential on American Public, and now knowing that the FBI worked directly with them. Some of those decisions at twitter were maid to maintain public trust in the system in general, and not just Twitter.
I assume you've never heard about Prop 13?
What will the people complain about at the end?
No, the judicial branch has the role to check that democracy does not become mob rule. There are some basic rights and liberties, but there are others not clear written on paper, but still not removable by vote.
I'm not sure the fault is with Poppler but with the MacOS thingie that created this beast. However, you are best placed to deal with that.

I'll see if I can find it ...
Exactly. I would rather be laid off with severance rather than be forced into the choice to be be offered a 100% on-site job across the country or quit. Cruel.

The landlords are free to move out of SF as much as tenants are. Nobody is held at gunpoint.
Regardless of politics, landlords who deliberately keep empty apartments off-market are a menace to society. If CA can't sue these people into infinity I don't know another state that can and no rent-control isn't the answer here...

It's literally a bigger problem facing the working class or anyone without a mommy and daddy check than the diamond industry creating false scarcity and still propping up the price of "natural" diamonds over lab stones...
It's a fundamental need for some people, if you want to have a healthy city where firefighters, teachers, baristas, servers, etc. can live there without having the city's cost of living externalized via multiple hour megacommutes.
My 2c is that hybrid doesn't work. The company would never turn the dial to 100 on remote tools, policies and rituals. And it's still tied to hubs so it's hard to hire from other geographical areas, in the same country or overseas. It's not freedom, it's a mess.
Let's not associate such positives with Shkreli.

I agree, access to healthcare is a fundamental human right. Shkreli might have liked to act like Robin Hood, "You'll only ever pay $10/month for a medicine, I'll make insurers pay the rest", a laughably condescending perspective that only shows that he believes enough people are too ignorant to make the connection of where exactly insurance pools come from, their indirect income. But many people glommed on to that.

Here's an example of Shkreli showing his real stripes:

A drug comes before the FDA for approval, and it is opened up for comment. Shkreli lodges an objection to approval of this drug.

Why? Because it's unsafe? No, trials thus far have shown it to be safer than existing drugs.

Why? Because it's less effective? No, it's also been shown to be more effective than existing drugs?

Perhaps it's more expensive? No, cost of R&D and production, and estimated retail costs are expected to be lower than existing drugs.

Huh, odd. So why did Shkreli oppose this drug getting to the market?

Because he and his company had just bought the patent to one of those 'existing drugs' recently, and this drug coming to market would torpedo demand for his drug, and torpedo the profitability of his investment in buying the patent.

Man of the people, fighting for healthcare rights, Martin Shkreli.
When in doubt: Paracelsus!

The pilots reported it upon arrival via the airline's internal safety reporting process.
No doubt, but the companies being referred to are generally companies people are looking to be hired at, you know, the FAANG sort who are now bringing up the original terms as agreed upon.

Now, if the poster is referring to some contract shop, sure, their terms are usually lousy, but here the poster is referring to the FAANGs of the world who are now asking many employees to RTO on some frequency basis.
Well they’re still going to, no matter how much you fight. WfH will be an exception rather than the default, that’s what they are trying.
Housing is a little more of a critical need for people than graphics cards…
Dimensional analysis is one of the most underrated techniques out there. All too often we are taught how to solve equations, but it is equally important to think about how to reason with equations and how to examine the properties of solutions without having to even solve the equations themselves. Sometimes it becomes another quick check you can use to spot careless mistakes, but sometimes you can also use it for much deeper insight, like Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence. I wish more people were aware of it.
"Since the 90s, parental incentives have soared across rich countries, yet birthrates have continued to plummet"

The premise is wrong. It's extremely expensive to have a family in rich countries. In most families both parents have to work to raise them. Making it very hard to raise kids. Bottom line as countries get richer and the population flocks to the cities so the costs associated with having a family soar. A lower cost to have kids is the fix but the question is how can that be done? Current incentives are not enough.
Probably not quite real time. Aviate, navigate, communicate. In that order.
It is generally illegally to freelance in California unless you're a journalist or an actor
Which has always been a rather ironic line lacking in self-awareness.
This article attempts to combine isolated incidents into an overall problem with aviation safety. However, having flown into OGG multiple times, I think this is another example of the typical extreme wind shear/turbulence at this airport and not connected to wider issues. I was in a SW flight that bounced twice and aborted while attempting to land. The airport is located in a difficult location given the high winds that wrap around Haleakala. An older airport a few miles to the south and Maui's first civilian airport, Puunene, was abandoned due to these problems (after racking up an impressive number of killed naval aviators in its wartime role as an USN training field).
Because of Prop 13 and the various extensions passed by HJTA (eg Prop 218) the state needs to come up with increasingly bananas schemes to fund public services.

In a sane place we'd simply adjust property taxes but that's not possible in California.
Maybe your comment makes sense to you with all the context and experiences inside your head, but I have no clue what points it is trying to make. Can you maybe use more words to say what you're trying to say here?
It's basic psychology though. If I told you that my software was 100% magically secure against any and all attacks, vs this other vendor, who has an itemized list of things their product does, who are you going to think is blowing smoke up your ass?
With a large brand like Disney, there's probably some arrogance involved too, believing they can alter the world to their liking. If the company was something like "Data Image Formatting Corporation of Delaware", I'd expect they'd be a bit more realistic about their ability to get people to accept such a deal outside of their local area.
It is just another form of property tax, you can keep your units vacant and keep paying “vacant property tax”, or you can let people live in and collect rent and pay reduced taxes

Lots of companies calling workers back to the office these days. Did these companies originally commit to allowing permanent remote workers? Or were they unofficial policies due to the pandemic that kept getting extended?
I think it is an advantage if you are building new, complex systems and need to move fast. In that case, you won't need to ask anyone to come in...they just will. Most places don't have that requirement but some managers drool over any chance to cargo cult.

Myself and two other devs are building everything from scratch for a new company involving US direct deposits. We come into the office one or two days per week to demo and meet with managers and operations people.

If I were just supporting a system I would never go in.
"The airline declined to say if the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder were analyzed after the flight, though the CVR would've been overwritten by the two-hour recording duration"

How is the recording duration only 2 hours? Is there some non-technical limitation here?

You completely missed their point. It was well beyond that they colonized places. It's that they believed they 'civilized' places.
I agree that some of these instances won't have teeth. I think for companies who already have aggressive attrition policies like Microsoft, Amazon, and perhaps Walmart they will though.

Long before covid I did the same thing, I just started working from home and got some flak for it, but it never entered into my performance equation and I remained employed there.
My experience is similar to yours — including at a company of over 50,000 employees.

I’m baffled as to how so many people here on HN have such horror stories with Teams, while I’ve not experienced nor heard of anything remotely so bad at the companies I’ve worked.
Rents will find a level for this. It seems interesting that in NY, which overindexes for executives, the office market is not coming back and will have to reduce supply significantly. Is this rule being applied outside the c-suite?

I think there are massive practical issues with remote work. But I am not sure there weren't significant issues with the: paying $10m/year in rent, so your manager can look up and see if you are at the desk...and, presumably, working.
Natural gas production in the US has started declining. Even with the demand for LNG in Europe.
I'm not sure what your position is. Technology won't progress? Investing money into research and scaling up production doesn't lower the marginal cost? Monetary incentives aren't better at getting things done? We can't "avert the crisis" without going back to adopting pre-industrial lifestyles/communism/veganism or wear sheep wool clothes?

What's the "appropriate" response that you'd feel okay with?
what do you mean? raw GPU compute from the host GPU has been available in WSL for a while now, and this is just a layer on top which allows access to the encoding and decoding hardware on the card.

They had to pick an API to expose, so they picked theirs.

I guess I don't see the big deal, here. Nothing MS does for WSL will change anything that exists outside of WSL.

There is no shortage of people who hate Microsoft on this site, or on the Internet in general, and I would be very surprised if any application of substance chose to both run on Linux and be Microsoft-only (WSL only). That seems so unlikely that it's almost not feasible for a logical human person to come to a decision like that. And if that happens, don't use that software, and protest their decision, just as you're doing here with WSL.

Linux is far bigger than Microsoft, no matter what anyone thinks. And the percentage of Linux users and developers who hate Microsoft is very high. I just do not see the situation you're describing where there are Linux apps which only work in WSL. This hasn't even extended what Linux can do, it's just another way to do it.
I agree that UBI would mean a huge amount of leverage for employees, but I get the feeling if we see it at all it'll come after most of us are replaced by AI/automation and will be forced out of work entirely. We shouldn't wait for UBI to draw boundaries around what we'll give up to enrich our employers though, and our children's health seems like a good candidate for a line we could draw and rally behind defending.
You've got an easy, built-in way to avoid the tax if you don't want to pay it.
I think the point is that if remote roles have 10xed in this time, the number who consider themselves remote-only have 20xed.
I think this is a sad way to go. Hardware is super expensive to develop and the key IP here is in the software. There's probably some fancy microphone tech, but ultimately you could (should?) run Mycroft on a Raspberry Pi with an edge accelerator device.

Technically I think we're getting close to a good offline system. Home Assistant solves the practical aspect of controlling systems and triggered routines - it really works well, at least on par with vendor software. Speech recognition models are usable and getting better. The interesting "glue" is parsing the commands into something reasonable and I think open source LLMs are likely to be the answer. See Open Assistant [0] for example. It doesn't solve the knowledge base issue (e.g. people seem to use Alexa either as a very fancy egg timer, or for querying facts), but it would probably allow for very natural interaction with the device and the model could just translate a query into a command that triggers an action.

My impression is that Amazon's approach (I have no knowledge of what goes on inside) has been to build fairly complicated subsystems to handle very specific queries. Each "Skill" has to be separately developed and if you ask something outside a fairly rigid grammar, the device has no idea.

The flight was likely in IMC. There wouldn't be much to record.

If so, it's also entirely possible passengers didn't realize what was going on. The human vestibular system is notoriously bad at interpreting motion without outside visual references.
Does 4 days a week in the office constitute hybrid now? That’s full time office with a rest day.
The remote job market is going to get quite interesting.

Would you create an in-person startup these days? Is that how you would start a company? My guess is you start a company remote first - if for no other reason to avoid the office cost, and be open to any talent.

If many larger companies are in person - what does that mean for how things look in 10 years?

With startups being more remote, would there be a bias towards remote workers, living in lower cost of living areas, actually being the hub of innovation? Making the "cities" a kind of anti-innovation-hub of more humdrum corporate work?
Do they also suffer from insufficient Lamborghinis?
well, what do you think?
My controversial opinion is that the policy goal should be to enable at least one parent to stay at home. I couldn't care less which parent it is, but kids need one at home.
He didn't say anything about procreating, but that we were attracted to the smells. It could be that there is a similar argument to the article (that he didn't make), that we are attracted to the smells because it is good for us (not because it reminds us of genitals and sex). I.e., eating foods that are cultured with the same microorganisms might replenish and balance our own microorganisms, and thus keep our junk healthy.
Of course not, now you need to pay for heating and electricity, which the company also doesn’t refund.
Heh, I remember a similar argument for WFH.

"I have to pay for HVAC, increased electricity usage, etc."

TBH, I don't think companies think about it in this fine grained way. They will just increase/decrease pay to get the level of demand they desire for their job openings.
On my old MX Revolution, middle click was the switch between it indexing and free-wheeling...and also sometimes registered as a click/key, e.g. - I played games when I had it - 'stab with knife' in the Battlefield of the day; more obviously it was also the zoom in scopes that supported it, so I'd find myself stabbing the air to get it in the right mode when trying to use it as a sniper...
They can feel it now with the toxic chemicals in the atmosphere and in their water.
Yes the pilot's union.
So they compromised FOV for a lighter headset. Not a great choice IMO. From using countless headsets, I can say the number one thing that distracts from presence is low FOV; far more so than bulkiness or wires. And presence is the goal above all else.
not answering your question at all, but animals tend to eat things in their pure form, while humans gained the ability to combine ingredients. Even if we like the smells and tastes of herbs and spices, we don't consume them straight either. I guess I don't know what other species even have the ability to smell-taste. Dogs for example, have much more sensitive smell than we do, but doesn't seem to influence what they eat much. We might simply be creating flavor profiles that remind us of better foods, like aromatic smells of ripe fruit instead of unripe.
Why do people comment so confidently on industries they don't understand?
Also also: generally better teachers, becaus they are there because they actually want to teach - many are retired former professionals.

Whereas many college professors want to do research and do the academia dance, often fobbing off much of the actual teaching to TAs and the like.
Time will tell how well this remote work experiment works.

If it works well, it will grow and evolve, if not it will fade away.
a little bit of an offtopic question, but given that the video has a sign language interpreter, is there a specific vocabulary for programming given how many unique terms there are, and is it harer to understand for people who rely on it than normal conversation?
