It’s funny to think about AWS doing hardball arm twisting stuff like “we moved all your S3 objects into Glacier Deep Storage, we’ll be happy to help you retrieve them once we straighten out this little problem with your bill”

Over 700 people joined a pro-return-to-office group. Its description says employees need to "Think Big" about the return to office policy. (By comparison, the pro-working remotely channel has around 28,000 members.)

Do any of the folks in the "pro-working remotely channel" worry about getting in any kind of trouble for speaking out?
You're correct that there is no consensus on WHY but it's very well agreed upon that the crash did happen 1, 2, 3 below

In my research, it seems to follow pretty closely that within 5,000-10,000 years of humans arriving in a territory with abundant mega-fauna, that the megafauna are completely wiped out. However the increase in global temperature put additional pressure on mega-fauna as the earth warmed

My naiive interpretation is that climate warming into the Holocene put significant pressures on mega-fauna ecology, and humans took advantage of these new pressures and over-consumed the fauna. They did not realize there was such a thing as "running out of food."

It seems pretty clear to me that 200,000-10,000BC was this kind of wonderland of human growth because all of the conditions were perfect for humans to just totally dominate the landscape with relative ease.

The problem is, we are just smart enough as a group to mess things up really efficiently for short term benefits (within two generations), but we're not smart enough to act as though we're planning for 5-10 generations into the future.

In that case replacing the battery doesn't make sense either.
I don't know if this is what the GP experienced, but you can definitely get some inconsistency if you ctrl-C out of Nix while it's in single-user/daemonless mode. My sense is that single-user is really only meant as a toy and for use in unprivileged containers— in basically every other situation you want to be talking to the nix-daemon, which maintains proper state and won't get interrupted.
>I myself have interviewed 400+ people and have definitely had cases where I got people hired over objections because I thought they were really good.

You brought up (perhaps inadvertently) a good point here , most interviewers in the field are young, and their callowness is obvious, often you need senior people with the vetoing power to override their shallow analysis of a candidate.
This would be "interoperable" in that it's easy to go from one framework/software to the other, but it's still not transparent. The current way of doing things is to use the url of the object in the search bar, and thus use the search bar as the "new" url bar. In practice it is more interoperable because all softwares then behave the same.
I think what you are saying is in a variety of circumstances a fast thoughtless answer is more desirable then a deliberate thoughtful answer. For those situations the individual who thinks fast but doesn't think through the consequences has an advantage.

However if you are looking at answers in which you want a more deliberate thought the process the slow thinking answer is probably the individual who would be best suited.

Latency doesn't change output it just refers to a time lag - I think in this case the output is significantly different. Think of it more as a model, one that spits out an answer on an already trained model vs one thats training a model and giving you an answer. The model that is training takes more effort/time.
Seems like a misstep that Slack allows this.
I got banned out of /r/games for asking "what rights trans people don't have that other humans do?" under post about someone yelling "trans rights are human rights" about Hogwart's legacy. Not being snarky at all, just curious (as I'm not from US and don't really get what the fuss is about).

Still haven't got a coherent answer out of anyone I asked, just insults
I remember that the framerate was pretty important in Quake. Because player positions were interpolated linearly, you could miss the top of the parabola when jumping if your framerate was too low. I don't remember any numbers but getting a high framerate was definitely a concern when playing a bit competitively.
It doesn't take extreme privilege to quit your job and indie hack for 5 years. It takes $60k in savings and extreme frugality (or the equivalent of the cheapest amount you can live on for 5 years in your country). $60k of savings can easily be saved in a year with a junior dev job in the USA, or 2 years in Europe as long as you have the frugality. Of course, you do sacrifice having a family, living in an expensive area, going out to restaurants and all other luxuries, but you can own your time without being born into any sort of wealth or privilege outside of being born in a country with GDP per capita above $10k.

Most people would rather live a more normal middle class life and work for the man instead. To each his own, but don't act like it's not a choice available to practically 100% of HN readers.

That's a flagged and dead reply to a sibling comment which would look schizophrenic as a response to this one - on top of everything else that is already wrong with it.
When I worked at a startup and we were on the verge of being acquired by a very large company, I remember meeting one of the reports-to-C-level executives overseeing the whole thing. He had no problem pausing for 15-30+ seconds to digest what was just told to him and would respond when he understood it and/or needed clarification. It built a huge amount of respect vs. just nodding and agreeing, even when he didn't get it, but also not asking the first question to pop into his head when a moment's thought would provide the answer.
But what is it going to do if I answer yes? If I did fall but don't need medical attention, is answering "yes" going call emergency services anyway? I don't want that. But if I lie and answer "no", is it going to somehow modify its detection criteria and not work the next time I fall and really do need help? I don't know, I have no idea what it will do.

Besides, it's all a moot point because it's the wrong question to ask. It doesn't really matter if you actually fell or not. It detected what it "thinks" was likely a fall and the real question to ask is: do you need help?

If you turn the corner and see someone laying on the ground, do you ask them if they they just fell, or do you ask them if they need help?

Not sure if it was directly inspired by Houghton's, but it was the first to be commercially successful.

However it seems those early dishwashers where pretty different to modern ones, least of all not being automatic: https://www.homestratosphere.com/dishwasher-history/
You only throw fertilizer down on the lawn a couple times a year if at all and of course most of it is taken up by the plants you are feeding it to, whereas most people wash their dishes at least once a day and all of that water ends up down the drain.
I used to struggle with this as I am exactly the same.

I just say at the meeting that it's something I need to process and that we should not make any final decisions. I sometimes don't say anything if I think it is not important.

Usually there is no problem. That being said I had a fair share of workplaces that hired bullies, so then I rather quit than fight. Life is too short and there is plenty of job offers.

It helps to take PM or someone else in charge aside and talk about this and neurodivergence and ask them to be more accommodating. In many countries, by law, they are required to make reasonable adjustments for accessibility.
I, for one, am not one of those. I was never a "fan boy", but I certainly held Musk in esteem. That went away during his obvious decent into narcissistic madness over the last ~5 years.
There must be plenty who wouldn't mind being shown the door, and have other options. So if that was a new issue with working for Amazon, and a potential deal-breaker for them, it would be worth having a go.

Fully concur.

The distinction between agriculturalists and nomadic hunters in my estimation is that it was a rapid shift in the majority behavior but there was always some "mix" of nomadic and agricultural starting around 150,000BC

It's just that the shift went from 90% nomadic to 99% agricultural over the span of only 100k years or so

Recently things got so bad that I have started to simply tell people "Hum, I can't (decide on this | solve this problem) in a meeting. If possible, can I give you the answer first thing tomorrow?"

Some powerful people insist on the meeting anyway, always with disastrous results. But it's enough to not distress myself trying to make it work.

And yes, it's mostly because I can't think during a meeting. Very often I have an answer as soon as the meeting finishes.

I’m kind of confused here: why can’t we just have teams self select? There are apparently over 700 people self selecting into a channel for in office advocacy: form teams out of them based on their roles and let them have their in-office teams, with relocation assistance as necessary to put them in commuting distance to the same office.
Oh, right. i should have searched for the title, not the site.
I was uncomfortable with my social anxiety and introversion for much of my teens/early 20's, until I had the liberating realization that I was actually extremely extraverted around people similar to me. I am just bored with the "average" person with "typical" smalltalk, and that's ok because those just aren't my people. Of course, it's probably best to find some ways to cope with those situations, but accepting that "normal" people don't need to like me was very freeing.

missing the point here, if the goal is to migrate people away from C++ to this new thing, it's easier. less error prone to keep syntax similar. That's why Java was so successful.

Nosql – A Cautionary Tale
The problem with making a VR layer on top of the Internet is that it's not something you can do alone. It has to be done in a manner that's organic/spontaneous with competitors being allowed to participate on their terms as much as yours (Meta/Facebook in this case). Zuckerberg didn't like this idea so he decided to strike out on his own to have the first mover advantage but such a move as we see can be a failure. Rather than just slowly building up a foundation on the Occulus and forming partnerships with indirect competitors like Sony, he chose to force the issue and just belly flop right into it. Now, it'll take a decade or two before anyone else even tries this effort in a concerted fashion again as too many shareholders with the memory of the last attempt will be there to put a stop to that (for good and ill imo). In the long term, the idea that VR or human-friendly interfaces will dominate the Internet isn't a bad prediction but as I've stated before, it must be done in a slow and careful fashion. You can't force tomorrow to come any sooner than it will and you can't do it alone.

nice thought; but does anyone else have a use for them either?

I never understood what the "voice assistant" hype was about, the advertised benefits looked ... non beneficial; the examples I saw in peoples homes didn't appear to work when they tried to use them.

Was it worth that much money and effort to have microphones in people's houses?
When you are already using flake8/ruff and mypy, there is little room left for pylint in my opinion. It might have some extra checks but they aren't enough to justify the performance hit.
The kicker is that after the fact you've walked through all the mistakes of the debate but its now null and void.

It's almost like George Costanza (not a great comparison to be fair) and the "jerk store called" joke episode.
They do, although most listings are from an MLS.

I think they might also offer some kind of paid/pro tools for individual owner-sellers and agents who might want to use them.

They also do business on the buyer side too, where they connect you with local buying agents (in a kind of misleading way, making you think you're booking an offer) and presumably impose some kind of commission for that.

And who knows who they're selling aggregated user data to.
I've never seen anything beyond anecdotes that appending 'reddit' to you query is common. Yet the article claims it is now the most popular way to search. Does anyone have the data to support this claim?

This quote seems like bad advice - feels like it’s telling us to focus on not looking stupid in front of other people (rather than risk asking a dumb question) and can lead to perfectionistic overanalyzing self doubt.
You really don't want to do self select within a corporation, it creates a lot of friction; especially the self selected groups are basically in opposition to each other.
For most people(junior and midlevel), there are two kinds of meetings:
1. Where you seek to get some information that is non trivial to ask on slack or at a water-cooler.
2. You are asked to contribute information that you already have.

Everything else that requires thinking and is a follow up, i.e. you can delay it(probably on slack of lunch or 1:1).

Also always try recording a meeting(minute big ones or voice record with consent to go over later). Forgetting and misremembering the facts a day or week later is probable.
It's a nice set of guidelines but does Apple have credibility in this area? Specifically, does Apple actually follow what they preach (looking at you 'Write clear error messages')?

Or more generally, are Apple's apps as good or better than what is out in the industry?
It was possible to disable it on mine with the Smart things app. You can even tell it to send a push notification instead. I absolutely hated the sound but loved the notification as it will remind me and I would just dismiss it when I did it.
I don't get it. Two advertisers are keeping you in the ecosystem of.. a third advertiser?

I could see a Linux or a BSD, but Apple is also just another advertiser spying on you here.
The lumber camp installation inside the Nordic Hertitage Museum (Seattle) shows a sample employee contract: Salmon will not be served more than 3 times per week.

At the time, salmon was the cheapest, most abundant source of protein. Poor people's food.

I think I agree with this, but there are also other causes.

Some time ago, I left a toxic shop to join a new company. I found myself aggressively fighting against things that I perceived as toxic based on my previous experience. Even if I was 100% correct (and I certainly wasn't), adding to the negativity wasn't helpful.

SEO spam is gonna be nothing compared to the AI-generated web. And it's going to be the perfect excuse to finally mandate internet-ID.
The "stimuli someone likes more generally" is doing a lot of the work here. I feel like it would be a much more powerful metric if it was separated into different contexts, e.g. are you an extravert with friends but an introvert with regard to the average person?
I take inspiration from the portrayal of Dr. Legasov's respond to being challenged to explain how an RBMK reactor explodes. "I'm not prepared to explain it at this time". It's OK say, "I don't know yet, but I will find out", even at the most tense moments in a devastating catastrophe. I argue that moments like that are when it's most essential to pause and consider carefully.

I think the PC internal ones are quite rare, but still there are some on the market. The USB ones are much more prevalent, I suspect because of laptops with broken sound cards. And I personally bought one because the headphones on the lappy would get interference otherwise.
The most accurate words are actually derogatory. It's obvious but you miss the obviousness because of politics and the need to be polite.

Your friend is just slow.
The easiest ways to put up barriers to rapacious landlords are:

- prevent corporations from owning residential property

- tax property rental income at a substantially higher rate than income and exempt it from other deductions

- tax residential property which is empty for more than de minimis periods at an eye-watering rate (perhaps 5-6x standard property taxes).

None of this requires higher interest rates, but it will result in a transfer of wealth away from aging boomers and corporations, which apparently must be avoided at all costs.
I mean, if some are happy with the policy of going back to the office for three days per week or more, good for them! I just don't understand why they (and the company) want to force this on everybody else too, regardless of whether it makes sense for them personally or not? Or whether it makes sense for the company for that matter - I'm working for a smaller but still pretty global company and currently am working with only 1 (one) person from my local office, the rest are all from other offices. But still, I only got an exemption from the 3-days-per-week rule (which apparently many employers want to impose as the new "new normal", probably to be followed by a full five days per week next year) for personal reasons, not for business reasons...

Maker of Keepthescore here. Sure!
Yes, absolutely!

But a part that's missing is the reason WHY companies often prefer to hire inefficient outside consultants that will under deliver, over promise, and often leave you with a half functional system at the end.

It's for class politics and control reasons that managers and executives don't want to invest in on-site talent to expand their skills. They want disposable labor even if it costs them more money in the end, because it's a decision motivated by their power interests. They don't want to depend on on-site talent, they don't want to promote you, they don't want to pay you what you are worth, they don't want your talents to develop.

They want to pay an outside agency whatever amount of money for the promise of a system, because even if the consultant fails they have fulfilled their capitalist due diligence and did things the right way, rather than having had local employees that are crucial to you that you invest in do work for you.

If you take issue with this characterization, I'd ask you why do many people here find it notable that this company had an existing employee develop a system rather than just dragging in the consultants.
Not at all! It depends greatly on the content and the person. For recipes it is actually useful to see with your own eyes how to do something. The same thing with many other things, such as for example carpentry and mechanics. I agree that text is better for tech content and for a lot of other things that are mostly text based, or more abstract.

We've been conditioned into thinking text is better because we've all been through schooling, which consists of text books and a person yelling in front of a blackboard. If you let kids watch high quality YouTube videos instead, they would get a much better education.
