My father was a chemical engineer. Back in the 60s & 70s, the company would pay to relocate our family to wherever they needed him (this included purchasing the house if we didn't sell it before the moving trucks showed up). That included several foreign countries. In my family's experience, that included England, Iran, Ireland & Saudi Arabia. During the 80s, his industry stopped relocating engineers. This corresponded to the end of "the Social Contract" where as long as you were loyal to your company, they had a job for you - for life. When you watch that "Greed is Good" speech from Gordon Gecko [0], notice that table of old farts at the front of the room: that's where they promote the loyal employees (into "executive vice presidencies") when there isn't enough room at the top of the pyramid (and also they're too incompetent to promote in actual line management [1]).

By the 90s, companies stopped paying for relocation of anyone below managerial levels. And instead depended on workers being able to afford to relocate on their own $.

This brings us to today's economy. Large companies, instead of laying older workers off, simply relocate their position to a new office. IBM (who used to be called "I've Been Moved") has a reputation for doing this to their US-based workforce especially when over age 40. If you can't afford to relocate? Great, that's now a "voluntary quit".

If companies want employees to "move where the jobs are", they need to step up to the plate and start paying for relocation. And that includes buying upside-down homes.

You can use the security-key variants of ssh keys. Those would be ecdsa-sk, ed25519-sk and others[0]. This does require a newer OpenSSH version to work. GitHub has added support for these keys back in 2021.

What are the demographics like? Do elderly people ride much? Are they trapped at home? What about the weather? How is biking in the rain or snow?

On the upside, I suspect people are in better physical condition.
I’m not sure why this isn’t more accepted.

There’s a meme which sums it up pretty succinctly: Sure the CIA did shady stuff in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, & 10s but they’re good now!
That coal meme belongs in the same museum as ICE engines.

ICE engines waste 60%+ energy as heat, and this is unfixable. OTOH stationary coal and gas plants have modern efficient steam turbines that capture most of that heat energy.

Even a 100% coal-powered EV emits less CO2 than an ICE engine.

Well, I’ll get you started with the math…

Under absolutely ideal conditions, the power output of a solar array is an inverted parabola spanning 12 hours. This means you need 1.5x nominal capacity (integral if parabola is 2/3 area of constant power rectangle).

Of course, now you need batteries to “fill-in” around the parabolic output curve.

This takes care of daytime needs. Double it to cover nights. You have to more than double batteries because you need them 100% of the time during this period.

We are up to 3x nominal steady-state power. It’s a bit worse than that given system and other losses. Call it 4x. If you need 1 GW, you have to build 4 GW.

However, it doesn’t end there. A single cloud formation can cut output by 50%. I see it all the time on my system. Rain? Up to 95%. I’ve seen my 13 kW system go down to 600 W for days with moderate rain. Dirt? 5% or thereabouts, depending on how bad it is. And then there’s the negative temperature coefficient and seasonal realities, which can drop you by up to 25%.

If you do the math (as I have) the reality of solar is shocking. A 10x overbuilding estimate might be way low. I’ve seen plausible calculations calling for multiples of that.
Not exactly – WebAuthN is the browser/JavaScript API, which can be provided by both platform authenticators (such as Safari on iOS and macOS, Chrome on Android and macOS etc.) and hardware/"roaming" CTAP2-compliant authenticators.

WebAuthN specifices the browser API, CTAP2 specifies the interface between an authenticator device/software implementation and a browser or other client, and FIDO specifies the behavior of the authenticator itself (including certification of attestation-capable authenticators).
I wouldn't want to get paid in equity if the IRS didn't accept it for tax payments either. If you accept 100% of your compensation in equity you are bankrupt because you can't pay your taxes.

That is usually out of the question, because raster tiles don't allow you to customize the map (colors, which features to display at which zoom levels, etc). I find openstreetmap way too busy as a backdrop for data.

As I've said, the solutions are there, and there is an actual demand for cheap vector tile hosting without all of the other cruft that is bundled in the commercial solutions but isn't actually needed.

It's interesting. I haven't taken the time to read the article. My experience with ADHD is far different. I find myself often doing nothing, although I suppose I often stare at a screen or listen to music.

Doing nothing always sounds great, because there's never work in doing nothing. Even watching TV requires active concentration, who is this, what's their motive, etc. If I start cooking, there will be tons of cleaning. Video games require active participation, plus the same problem as movies.

That said, I can't say I'm too happy doing absolutely nothing. I don't find the time to think / reflect helpful, because I'm constantly doing so.
Ahhhh. The key thing I was missing was `ssh -K`. This works, but isn't really quite what I was hoping for. It's effectively using the SK as a glorified flash drive to transfer the secret key. I was kinda hoping to avoid storing the private key on the local machine at all. There are upsides to this strategy however, especially given how simple it is and how it maintains compatibility with tools which require secret key material directly.

I may end up using a mix of this and a GPG integration once I learn more about how that works with SSH. I still need to dig into PIV/PAM/Keychain/FileVault/etc...

Thanks for the top though :)
My last job in a physical office was similar. 10 minute bike ride with a locker room and showers at the office, nice solo cube. It was a great office environment, but the Kabuki hustle to appear busy in an office is extremely stressful.

I think before the pandemic a lot of people were judging performance based on appearances (does this person seem busy, do they have a high profile in meetings). The wider cultural shift toward remote has led to increased emphasis on delivery.

A friend of mine and all his colleagues are using OnlyKey (pricey). I use a Ledger Nano S for U2F/webauthn. These two are requiring a PIN to register/auth.
Most of these examples go up to zoom 10 or so because they cover a wide area. It's not prohibitive to increase that zoom in a small area because the total number of tiles will still be low. Also keep in mind that for vector data it's possible to "overzoom" and allow the client zoom levels to be higher than the physical data levels.

In terms of self hosted maps for outdoors use, I have some open source repos from a few years ago that may help with that. [0] is a style based on the openmaptiles vector tile schema for outdoors purposes. I believe that readme has some overall instructions, plus other repos in the org are for making data. (Nowadays planetiler is probably the best way to make OSM vector tiles though)

What if, and hear me out: we ditch the idea of a better replacement social network and just ditch the concept in general? Let’s go back to not being bombarded by ads every 3rd post, to not getting lost in massive echo chambers, to not doom scrolling for 20-40% of our waking hours, being locked into mega platforms, etc... Is the proposition of “being more connected” really worth the downsides?
OK, and? It's still a free market. If people want schools with LGBTQ+ education, set one up, and do it. You can.

Why should local government help? Especially if that local government was specifically elected to not support issues like this?
You nailed it I think.

Right now there will be a lot of chatter if the root cause was industry concentration, mark to market, junior VCs scaring gulible founders, or as you pointed out: duration risk.

I think in five years the common narrative will be about duration risk.

To spell out what you hinted at: SVB will collapse at some point in the next few years. The only scenario they survive is if they survive this bank run, and then soonsih the fed lowers interest rates by a ton.

Otherwise even without this bank run SVB will still slowly be forced to sell off more and more HTM assets. Core reason being they cannot cashflow wise offer market rate interest on deposits. Clients _would_ move their money to better paying banks, not everyone but too many.

Thus this bank run only accelerates the inevitable. The interest broader note is how other bigger banks have or have not managed their exposure to duration. And special eyes towards the Japanese MegaBanks, double so if the bank of Japan does raise rates.

A Look at Sony's Crazy 2000's PDAs
Ask HN: What would a learning roadmap for modern AI look like?
For context, the last time I did anything in the field was some introductory Neural Network and Machine Learning courses ~10 years ago at university.

I'm not necessarily looking to move into working in the field, but would like to understand the fundamentals of Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT et al. and get to a point where I can play around with building my own primitive versions.

What would a path to get there look like, assuming I want to take as direct a route as is reasonable?
>Customers have been conditioned to blame themselves for any device/product shortcomings, and consider themselves rather unworthy

That's something no one can solve for them, never.

But at least they should be capable going into a "Printer-Forum" and ask.

I've bought Moleskins and Field Notes, but for some reason, I have a hard time bringing myself to use them. Heck, even a 99-cent composition book from Staples needs a real purpose for me to actually write in one.

Like the author, I prefer legal pads. Mostly for working on. And then, at work we have stacks and stacks of the notepads with a grid printed on them (and the company logo). I love those.
This runs right into a lot of cognitive science research and debates. Which have not really resolved a lot of things related to AI historically and have been pretty much on the sidelines as GPU-driven machine learning has done some impressive things (and a lot of parlor tricks).

One of the ideas around cognition is that a lot of what we regard as intelligence in the physical domain, including intelligence below human levels, involves creating physical models about how the world works, which AIs are literally not able to do at all. You can instruct them in various ways, e.g. Boston Dynamics, but they have no way to internalize and actually understand novel physical world situations.

Some very smart people suspect that ML is a very powerful technique but that "better ML" only gets you so far.

I think the point about productivity is less about people's 'burbs to downtown commute and more about say, the trucking industry. Trucks drive at or near the speed limit for much of their long highway routes, and over those distances, a slight difference in average speed can mean a big difference in arrival time, and throughput of the whole system.

In sound, nothing beats personal experience, experimentation and hours of deliberate listening. Spend a couple of hours with a basic compressor built-in your DAW and try to get the feel and understanding of how each parameter affects different sounds (from sine wave and noise to voice to drums, etc.). If you feel it's not fruitful, read, watch videos, listen, work on your stuff and come back to it after a while.

Regarding books, there's lots to choose from. For some quick applied wisdom, Bobby Owsinski's Mixing, Recording and Mastering Handbooks (separate) are recommended. Zen & The Art Of Mixing by Mixerman is very good, as well as his classic The Daily Adventures. The Bruce Swedien Recording Method is very good if you're into recording.

For Youtube videos, some random things I can vouch for:

I'd suggest watching Monty's Digital Show and Tell [1] as a primer for digital audio as a form. Steve Albini has been putting out some very solid and entertaining videos on recording lately [2].

There's also of course a few hyped (but deservedly so) channels such as @DanWorrall, @Producelikeapro or @ProductionAdvice.

Nothing I can suggest for courses as I haven't been interested in them for a while.

That's one reason why I prefer USB-A security keys (it's just more ubiquitous at this point, and A-to-C adapters are readily available, while the reverse is out of USB spec).

The other is that USB-A has all moving parts in the socket (vs. in the cable-side plug), which presumably makes a USB-A key more reliable.

I've had USB-C keys break on me mechanically, so having an A-to-C adapter with moving parts on both sides seems like the best of both worlds (durable security key, durable device-side port, easily replaceable adapter).
The Danish city of Århus is extremely hilly and has a very high cycling rate.

> Are they trapped at home?

No, if they can't bike there's always public transportation. If they can't even move in a wheelchair then yeah, I think you'd be trapped anywhere in the world without a caretaker.
That's not true at all, just because one individual person can make a temporary, big profit in an industry, that does not mean that the industry itself is profitable. Industry has large investment costs and takes time to become profitable, sometimes it never does.

As opposed to forcing everyone to have to use cars? Cars are expensive, dangerous, and incredibly space-inefficient, and car infrastructure is very expensive. A car lane can move max 1600 people per hour, where as a bike lane can move up to 7500 people per hour (according to nacto.org). Note that even in Amsterdam you can still drive, it just is often a slower option than biking because you will have to take longer routes.

And remember, that a bike lane doesn't have to just be human-powered bikes: it could be e-scooters, e-bikes or perhaps even microcars.

What is peer?
It's interesting that you say that. I would definitely relate to needing stimulation, although it tends to be lowest common denominator stuff: scrolling, reading headlines, etc... even stuff like eating.

There is a certain type of software development that will really stimulate me, sometimes even overly so, but it's not clear if it slows me down. I think because I'm happier, I'm less prone to noticing.

I often feel paralyzed, and wouldn't say I hate boredom so much; mostly because you can't fail, and my mind wanders. I don't think it's good for me, and can probably lead to, and co-mingle with depression.

Ask HN: Strategic planning tools for staff –> project assignments?
For work environments where there are multiple projects, what tool do you use to track/visualize staff assignment, so that external commitments can be tracked and that you're able to avoid over allocation? In particular, I'm looking for a system that helps plan and visualize work assignment at a strategic level, in days during a given week for one quarter out, or perhaps weeks by quarter for two years. It should provide a birds-eye view, a one pager at most, that an engineering manager could deliver to their executive team on a regular basis. Crucially, such a tool should not overlap with existing sprint-planning except perhaps on a very high level. Ideally it has an interactive interface that could be used during strategic planning sessions.

I'm asking because the tools I see are all too granular, modeling work as hours by day, rather than days by week.
yes, miscarriage is a real death of a human. is it killing? yes, it can be a result of an intentional act. can it be caused by neglect? yes, then it's the unintentional taking of a human life.

why we usually threat neglecting the born and unborn differently? because they need different level and kind of care: eg. smoking hurts unborn differently than born. did the mother eat honey which happened to be infected and caused her embryo to die? it was not considered neglect until this honey-effect was discovered.

I think the debate here has grown pretty stale. There’s a lot of arguing about what’s right or wrong, when this isn’t really about right or wrong.

There’s a factual question here about whether remote first companies are more, less, or equally competitive with office first companies. Anecdotes aren’t going to answer that question. Logical arguments aren’t going to answer that question. Passionate rants about pointy haired bosses aren’t going to answer that question.

We just going to need to wait and see the natural experiment play out. Meanwhile, if you are an employer make the best call you can with insufficient data. That’s why you get so much upside. If you’re an employee take the role that’s best for you and your family.
What's the benefit of that?

The entire point of using a security key is that its security model can survive a point in time compromise of the device you are connecting it to, i.e. a compromise only persists as long as a (hopefully short-lived) session. But if a single session compromise is unacceptable to you, by the same token a security key can't protect you against that.

The only instance where a "more secure" computer might be necessary that I can think of is using a GPG smartcard (which the Yubikey supports) and importing a software key to that, as opposed to generating the key on the smartcard itself.
