I slept in one of these manga kissa and I remember waking up in the middle of the night and looking at the ceiling and seeing my neighbor's head popping and looking at me from above. I didn't say anything, and he slowly retracted his head when he saw that I was looking straight at him. Didn't prevent me sleeping because I had ingested alcohol that night, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is typical manga kissa weirdness.
Deploying PHP is only simple if you already have a web server up and running that someone else is maintaining. Otherwise deploying a PHP web app involves the same complexities as deploying a Python web app. I would even be inclined to say that deploying with gunicorn is even simpler than any PHP setup.

IMO the best would be cubicles with a roof and door behind you, i.e. fully sealable for sound proofing and isolation when you need to concentrate, but you can open the door when you need to collaborate.

No idea why nobody does this. Japan has been offering these kind of sealed workspaces in manga cafes and "private video watching booths" for decades.

I noticed that my Google interview process was way more involved in reverse engineering (read this code and figure out what it does, or what's wrong with it), whereas Facebook was much more leetcody.

I've been thinking that reverse engineering skills are much more useful than puzzle solving.

Lol. That's an interesting definition of "better".

If you're active, knee implants have to be replaced after 15-20 years, because they detach from the bone. Knee implants can harbor pockets of infections because they don't have an immune system. They are also more prone to dislocations.

They are objectively inferior to a healthy organic knee.
JP Morgan - it's shares went up 2,5 pct. on Friday..

Not really. Just look at the press releases, the data, and verify USDC's backing, down to the T-Bill number. The balances don't support a significant risk of default outside of a systemic collapse (of which USDC will be the least of our worries).

Do I think there is a small chance of a systemic collapse? Sure, the Fed and the Biden administration are completely capable of blundering. Is that risk double digits? Let's be real.

Again, even if the real risk is as low as 1-2% (which I think it is), on a risk-adjusted return on a limited/capped amount for 4% ROI short-term trade is not a good use of funds for most portfolios. Kelly Criterion and so forth.

Awesome!

I have worked with a couple of high-end design firms that were like this (usually a staff of less than five).

It doesn't scale well, though. I've watched some of these same firms, get too big for their space, and have to go more ... Office Space.
Would be useful to get some data, I agree. Cubicles are soul sucking, inhuman environments. Open plan is distracting. Remote work is socially isolating.
I use em dashes with spaces in German (and English) all the time — I just like it better and don't care about arbitrary rules and traditions.
True, but not every open plan is a sweatshop. There are many shades of gray.

In an open space, you can have sound walls, pods that people can use for calls, add meeting rooms, isolate noisy places like the kitchen, etc.
I disagree that the first example looks good. Both cases would be better with spaces, which kind of renders the em dash unnecessary.
I'd say this will make it hard to exist online, but then I remembered that at least Mullvad accepts cash payment by postal envelope ;)

Yes CG calculation is a weighted sum (of weights, but lets call those mass to avoid confusion) with the weight for each dial being fixed. The result of the sum is divided by the total mass to get the CG.

This thing displays total mass on the left (that's just an ordinary non-weighted sum of all dials), and on the right is shows the result of dividing the weighted sum by the total mass.
However, it is the en-dash, properly, rather than the hyphen. I quite like that punctuation.

Now, anyone typing random texts to a friend or a few need not care, but I think people that write in a professional capacity to more than a few people should know and care.

JP Morgan or Citibank but not sure if they do multi-currency in the US.
I bet HSBC US does but they're only taking on Premier customers.
also, the debt ceiling is always raised.
The alternative is usually en-dash with spaces.
It's not typical. At least the ones I've been to are completely sealed. Sometimes there is a window built into the door, mostly so people can check you're not doing naughty things in there.

edit: some manga kissa are designed for people to watch porn, obviously those don't have windows.

I get why you wrote those words in all caps but it still feels like you’re yelling emphatically about nothing, and that coincidentally sums up how I feel about the rest of this topic.
I think coffee is quite a different market because it expires on a much shorter timeline. Being able to acquire, roast, and ship if a roastery, or roast, acquire, (drop-)ship if an aggregator, all in the space of <1 week is a bit of a moat. That requires reasonable logistics, close business relationships, and some level of operational ability.

In contrast, these box companies can buy stock that is months or even years old. I see it as a similar model to Poundland (Dollar stores?) – buying old or distressed stock for pennies on the dollar and reselling with margin. Timelines are much longer, batches are larger, there's just a lot more room for error on logistics, business relationships don't have to be as close.
Easy way to identify francophone writers. They always have a space in front of their colons, exclamation marks, etc.
There's a slight variation on this, although I never saw it said out loud: Low level or not, system programming is about interacting parts. Long ago, low level meant sending messages/signals to various chips to have the desired effect. It was cryptic and full of time and space constraints, and people equate system with these complex topics but to me the "interacting parts of a system" is still an important aspect of the definition. That's why I accepted go being a system language, it just wasn't operating at the electronic layer, but the computer/node level.. but it was meant to orchestrate messages concurrently between all these nodes, just like chips and signals long ago.
There are multiple parties sharing this moral hazard. The group includes captured politicians and administration who have SVB's back and have assured them about bailing out.
Prisoners dilemma. Do you wait until it is too late or do you cash out early to avoid being caught in a bank run, thereby making the bank run more of a reality?

There is no penalty for cashing out early and being wrong about the bank run but there is a huge penalty otherwise.

> The open office boom is right up there with the spread of Slack as representing the peak of early 21st century distraction culture

I have the same issue with Slack, that I do with open-plan offices in the US (They actually work well, in Japan, but their culture also makes it work).

I remember visiting the Facebook (Instagram) development shop in NYC, and walking through that huge central room, with the rows and rows of desks (standing and sitting).

This was at 7PM or so, and the place was a zoo. Lots of people there. Quite noisy. The thought that sprang to mind, as I saw it, was "Planet Fitness."

The food was good, though. Facebook caters well.
I wouldn't call it a crime, but a convention. In Europe it's an n-dash with surrounding spaces, in the US is an m-dash without spaces. For me, the former is nicer, but crimes are maybe a tad more serious.

There were a load of these companies but the market has really shrunk. Blue Apron was the big one that basically disappeared. Hello Fresh is the one that I think "made it". They've IPO'd, and I suspect they've found a format that is sustainable given their longevity compared to the other companies.

Nearly every bank that does reasonable amounts of commercial services has a product that just does this for you. Googling FDIC sweep account will yield plenty of examples. There are also ones that will hold T bills or similar as well.

That's fine as long as you understand that for certain types of people and/or certain types of work - open plan can be a disaster. This discussion has been bouncing back and forth for decades.

Personally speaking my coding productivity drops something like 80% in an open plan office.

Sure, there’s a 10% difference, but there are EU states over 30 minutes. The US isn’t that much of an outlier.

This guide and most guides like it tend to miss the most important and powerful use of the em-dash and make it out like you can use it for anything but really they are just missing the wonderful simplicity of the em-dash and how versatile that simplicity is. The em-dash raises and lowers the narrative voice. In fiction this provides a way to provide insight into the narrator; an em-dash tells us we are switching from the story the narrator is telling us to the thoughts of the narrator, a second em-dash or a period lowers the voice back down to the story the narrator is conveying. This is the sense of dialog being introduced with em-dashes instead of being quoted, a new line starting with an em-dash lowers the narrative voice, narrator hands story off to character.

The simplified rules for the em-dash are pretty much intuited and prescribed versions of this which gut the effectiveness of em-dash. In general use an em-dash should be used to denote thoughts without having too restructure/delete what you just wrote to accommodate that thought.

Edit: I oversimplified. Consistency is what is important, using an em-dash like a comma that isn't a comma leads to ambiguity when you also use commas. A writer who avoids semicolons and quotes all dialog can use an em-dash very differently than raising the voice, but they can also use a semi-colon very differently than its standard accepted role, that is what these simple guides miss, the consistency of usage, they just list all of the various ways you could use any given mark and people start using an em-dash to "fix" their long run-on sentence with all of its commas.

The closest thing we have to standard use allows for wonderfully complex sentences which can convey great meaning but consistent and well defined use is most important.

comma - connects independent and dependent clauses

em-dash - raises and lowers the voice

semicolon - connects independent clauses in a more direct way than the paragraph

colon - elaborates an idea

parenthesis - an aside, stated instead of thought

period - end of thought

Question mark and exclamation points do not need to be at the end of a sentence, they can double as comma, semicolon, or colon.

I seem to be missing a nuance of HN's line breaks and formatting.
I don't know, why do you recommend that one? It also says it's not a bank, so it's not a bank.

Cubicles are my worst nightmare. Enclose me into a tiny space separated from the world so I can reach “peak efficiency”. The most depressing job I had was with a relatively large cubicle.

I’ll take an open office space any day of the week, and you know I actually worked in the Meta offices for a little bit. I like to see my coworkers if I have to go into an office.

In the rare occasion I needed privacy, I could go find a couch or move to a rooftop garden. If I had to join a meeting in another office then I could use one of these quiet booths (which you know, is why they exist).

I also enjoy my home office, but even there I like to move around my house during work. Limiting 8+ hours of my day to a tiny enclosed space is depressing in my mind.

You can't regulate away malicious intents from misaligned incentives. Regulations giving banks privileges is what caused this abuse to happen in the first place. You can't solve it with further regulations.

Only thing that can stop this misalignment of incentives is to revoke the regulatory privileges of banks. Let everyone bank directly at the Fed. There's no reason these banks should get the privilege of holding other people's money. They dont hold the risk so they shouldn't hold the privilege.

Sums it up nicely. My experience with open office, I despised. Impossible to have any focused train of thought. I found in the morning and during the day it was constantly disruptive. Headphones are a bandaid that makes it worse most of the time. But during the evening, when there was less of us having some company around actually helped productivity as you're not normally functioning 100% by then anyways. There was an ebb and flow but an office that is designed strictly open or strictly opposite both seem bad. There should be a balance of common, colaborative space and isolation focus. I also find that most office designs have excessive lighting, where the color temp and dimming is unadjustable. There is no way to just have screen light mixed only with natural light during daylight hours. I think workers should have the ability to isolate in a tiny room sometimes, ability to work in a more collaborative space when they find it suitable, but also have time to sit at a desk in a space that is semi isolated but still somewhat open. I don't understand the drive to go to either extreme and not offer any flexibility.

>in many European countries your property is not really your property. Here the state is solving the possible homelessness issue by forcefully seizing the "private" property

This doesn't ring true at all. What do you mean by this? Where I lived in Europe your property meant your property any way you sliced it.

Yeah, evictions done through the legal system and not via muscle can take a very long time because the system is low and someone squatting in your parament isn't a high priority vs more serious crimes, but that's still your property and the government can't take it away from you.
Same. I find it hard to read long and complicated articles from a screen, and I would pay a lot for a weekly subscription to dead-tree magazine Quanta.

An argument could be made that what most developers are doing most of the time is not particularly difficult and does not require the level of concentration that would warrant investing in isolated office space.

I’m old enough that I worked in an actual office, like with a door and everything. It was the best. Truly. Not only was it a great way to be productive but it also spoke to how much the company valued you and your time.

When the cube farms came along it was billed as a cost cutting measure but in reality it about making office layouts more compatible with cycles of mass reorganization. In this structure, management needed the ability to shift bodies at will while still maintaining some semblance of structure. Cubes provided that flexibility while still giving the appearance of stability and status.

You would have slightly larger pens for more “important” members of staff. Higher walls were also part of the status game… But in reality, as the walls came down, the people became even more expendable.

As the nature of work trended further towards transient employment, the cube walls got shorter and shorter till they just did away with them entirely. Well, entirely for regular people. Management always had offices, even if it was just commandeering a conference room as an office.

I’m not surprised to see a new trend developing with tiny silos. I assume that they’ll add chutes below each workstation so employees can be conveniently flushed when a boost to the stock price is needed.
> We're not keeping negative score

And that's problematic for banking.

Thought experiment: for bank functionaries a strategy that has an equal chances of +10% and -40% is better than guaranteed +4% (for them EV is +5%). As a result, they are able to attract more depositors by providing higher rates that bank that went with option (2). Depositors will (rationally) chase highest rates knowing that worst case scenario - government bails them out completely.

Everyone behaves according to incentives, with the result being that money is used on ventures with -15% expected value instead of +4%.
