I really hope Google and other remote-hostile companies lose their prestige as some kind of stamp of excellence that's supposed to signal you're some higher caliber engineer. I never applied to work there because of their absurd interview process (along with other FAANGs) which require candidates to spend months on "interview prep" grinding Leetcode questions - a colossal waste of everyone's time. Even during COVID when all companies were remote I didn't apply because most big corporations tend to require employees to be trapped in their country unless you go through the hassle of transferring offices, and I prefer the freedom to live wherever I want.

This banning of remote work is so backwards, and will only contribute to their demise from their former peak. Next thing you know Google will no longer be seen as a "cool" place to work, and face the same fate as many former behemoths like IBM and Yahoo.

At this point I wonder who even desires to work at companies like Google except for entry level hires, prestige whores, and old people with families wanting stability.
This list scares me but some of major stuff like roof should be covered by home insurance. And then you can buy home warranty for some stuff like appliances and AC.

Both the EU and Iceland have proportional electoral systems, with districts having several seats. But the way seats are allocated to the districts in both systems isn't strictly proportional, with less populous districts having fewer electors per seat than the more populous regions.
For every account thought, correct?

Like, I can keep all my passwords in a password manager. And then copy and replicate that database however I want to.

With passkeys, I'd need to set up and authenticate additional devices... for every of hundreds of accounts I have? Am I wrong? Like if I have an android tablet and iPhone and windows PC and a Linux PC (as I do) that's half a dozen setups for each and every account? And this is a good thing??

The worst thing about Rust is easily the community - lots of drama and arguments, people building their personalities about something trivial like which programming language they use because it makes them feel superior, and many fans of Rust refusing to listen to any criticism of the language. It's a designed-by-committe language with a cult around it which might be the worst possible combo.

The second worst thing is how difficult to use it is which makes it not worth it for problems where you can use a higher-level garbage-collected language.
I know maybe 0.5 percent of what vim (neovim these days) can do and between that and a sane config my text editing skills have gotten at least 4 times better compared to a regular text editor. You can just learn the things that matter to you plus how to save and exit.
You rely on your car because you have a car and chose to rely on it. Of course he could afford £250. That's the price of one annual service these days.
It’s absolutely less effective for the majority of organizations and engineers. Most of the engineers claiming they’re more effective aren’t actually. They may get to do the part they like more (though in my experience that’s not programming despite their claims, that’s goofing off on HN or doing their laundry), but that’s not the same thing as being more effective for the organization as a whole.

(And sure you can blame it all on “managers” and how they should be better in all kinds of ways, but that doesn’t change the fact that remote, for most organizations and most engineers, is less effective as things stand today.)
I have never owned a car, and plan to keep it that way. Of course it helps that I live in Copenhagen, with excellent bike infrastructure and good public transport, and that I live alone with no kids. I once calculated that with the Danish taxes on cars, it would almost be cheaper to take a taxi to work and back every day. I never did that, but I don't feel bad about taking a taxi when I need one, nor about paying for delivery of bigger items.

Do you seriously want me to list all of the hundreds of different projects all going up right now? There are a huge range of figures too, and not everything is announced in detail yet.

FYI, the figures are well into the hundreds of billions of dollars of total investment. It is a repeat of wind and solar, and the naysayers are just concern trolling or even outright denying its existence.

Super happy with this release. It took us 18 months of working on it "side project style". Almost every night and weekends actually. It's a full rewrite of the current project, with its own advantages and disadvantages of a rewrite. I hope people who used it before and didn't like it, will give it another try this time. I hope that current users who love Monica, will love this new version even more.

I don’t think not “democratic” is the right phrasing. Democracy is a multi-dimensional design space. I think it’s more accurate to say that district based voting prioritizes a value (connection between a constituency and single, independent legislator) that’s become less salient in the age of mass media and powerful political parties.
With a 20% overbuild, 4 hours of storage and good interconnections, an intelligent mix of wind & solar power can supply 97% of power requirements.

I hardly think that the last 3% being horribly expensive should hold up the first 97%.
I've never voted, never will (and before anyone starts, I'm very, very proud of that.
One of the reasons I don't vote is because of gerrymandering.
I don't see it as a 'silly thing' as it affects me, mine, and those around now, because of actions in the past. The dead people left a game for the living to live with.

Please no, another subscription? And it's more expensive than ChatGPT?

Can I just have Bard (and whatever later versions are eventually good, and whatever later versions are eventually GPT4 competitive) available via GCP with pay per use pricing like the OpenAI API?

Also, if I could just use arbitrary (or popular) huggingface models through GCP (or a competitor) that would be awesome.
Are you personally offended by someone sharing their experience of living without a car? Maybe people in the writers situation have never reflected about this lifestyle before because they take the car for granted and now he inspired people to try to live without a car. That doesn't mean that everybody needs to stop using their car – especially if they are dependent on it.

Whenever someone reacts strongly just because someone else share their personal experience of different life choices whether it's ditching the car or going vegetarian or anything progressive I can't help think it's their own guilt speaking.
>Had a 4 hour call to fix a bug , 1 on 1, never got distracted,

So here' what is missing from a lot of modern work. The stuff you're doing requires input from multiple people. The overhead for 6 hrs of actual work is 60 hours of scheduling, meetings, additional people, your-court-my-court.

Meanwhile, semi-spontaneously spending a half day on something because "good progress" is something people hide. what kind of a ridiculously long "meeting" is that?

"Meetings" as a concept, has replaced working with people.
The fact that the dealer saw the decay and did nothing is related to the drug's illegality. If the drug were available in a dispensary where you had to go out in public and get your drug, there would be more opportunities for intervention. We already make it illegal to serve alcohol to someone visibly drunk. You can't apply rules like that when the transactions are occurring in the dark.
An interesting field of study utterly ruined by the internet.

A shame we'll never see more of those old OkCupid studies because of people drawing overarching conclusions from a tiny dataset from one specific part of the world speaking one specific language.

They weren't providing insight into how "men" or "women" date, think, or reason -- they were providing insight into how the internet impacted dating.

Also very Interesting how primitive the 2016 tech is by comparison. Anyone's mobile can do a far better job Feminizing or Masculinizing a face these days.
Wait, seriously? But GitHub is a censored platform, it's not universally accessible. Microsoft is blocking people from US-sanctioned world states:

It sounds like you don't work in the adult industry and don't have empathy for how difficult it is do deal with payment processors deciding you can't get paid anymore.

This is a common problem in these discussions. The HN crowd tends to have better access to payment infrastructure and reliable income from their industry. Not everyone has those benefits and many people are punished by our existing system for doing completely legal work that some see as immoral.
It really just depends on how committed you are and what your lifestyle is.

I successfully lived in Atlanta, of all places, using nothing but an e-bike and public transit for an entire year, with a Lyft here or there as necessary. I got into better shape than I have been since I was a teenager too.

Biking in rainy sub-zero temps is a bit of PITA, but it builds character, and honestly there's something charming and invigorating about it if you've got the right gear.

Would love to do it again, and in fact am planning to at some point.
The quote actually meant something rather different than people think and has been taken out of context.

Here's a discussion about it[0].

First, here's the TL;DR:

SIEGEL: So far from being a pro-privacy quotation, if anything, it's a pro-taxation and pro-defense spending quotation.

WITTES: It is a quotation that defends the authority of a legislature to govern in the interests of collective security. It means, in context, not quite the opposite of what it's almost always quoted as saying but much closer to the opposite than to the thing that people think it means.

And here's the detail, discussed just before the TL;DR (I put in some paragraph breaks):

SIEGEL: And what was the context of this remark?

WITTES: He was writing about a tax dispute between the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the family of the Penns, the proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony who ruled it from afar.

And the legislature was trying to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense during the French and Indian War.

And the Penn family kept instructing the governor to veto.

Franklin felt that this was a great affront to the ability of the legislature to govern. And so he actually meant purchase a little temporary safety very literally. The Penn family was trying to give a lump sum of money in exchange for the General Assembly's acknowledging that it did not have the authority to tax it.

Having been to the Union Square/Market/Moscone are many times for the Game Developers Conference, including this year, this is not surprising.

Simply walking from a hotel to Moscone was very stressful. There were no cops but tons of private security to manage a horde of zombie like addicts and mentally ill homeless.

SF will come back because it is beautiful and the weather is great… it won’t become Detroit. Detroit only had lake transport going for it and grew despite harsh winters.

It won’t happen until there are tons of cops, the homeless dissipate (hopefully to somewhere they can be cared for) and then and only then, people feel safe.

If the Game Developers Conference leaves in the meantime, I will be very happy. I don’t want to go back.
Computer models (GIS, CAD, and various database technologies) have been in widespread use in urban planning for over 3 decades now. The core idea of a "digital twin" is not new, IMO it's merely a buzzword for a 3D map. Granted there have been huge advances in Lidar and remote sensing technology so the computer models are now richer with data and provide a more realistic interactive experience.

It's not clear how important the interactive experience is to real actual urban planning concerns. For most use cases, you need a robust data model and process automation - the fancy 3D visuals look cool but the bulk of the real work is still plain old applied database management.
This, we have been working remotely for almost 10 years. You can be as effective as in the office and even better, but it also depends on the type of work you do.

No landmarks, no tall buildings, no walkable areas.

Absolutely not true - and shame on you if you've never explored the older neighborhoods downtown.

However I definitely agree that overall it's a huge did of a city for its size (and most especially for the housing costs). And that you're saying applies to at least 90 percent of it by surface area. "Not a real place" absolutely nails it.

Won't find anywhere livable west of Chicago until you reach Tokyo...

Not true at all. Sounds like you've almost never been out there, except for a random business trip or two. The west coast isn't my ideal either, but it has plenty of perfectly livable places (if you can only somehow afford to settle down there).
No you weren't, many of us, like myself, have designed small languages over the years.

After a few of these, you stop designing syntax: you just skip the syntax and directly read ASTs instead of whatever syntax you wasted your time on.

My next language is going to be a FORTH of some type .
A bit weird not to include segmentation per country of origin. For sure certain countries value facial hair more than others..
Not trying to twist your words, but to point out that remote-first really does require inherently more time investment.

I think you’re underselling the impact of the prerequisite culture change, because very few companies are remote-first or even know what a good remote-first strategy looks like.

If a company already has a solid and effective remote culture, great! But this is pretty rare, and can’t be considered a general case. Those companies are also made of people who fit the mold of that remote culture, and I question the merit of generalizing their success to a broader workforce made up of people who weren’t pre-selected for their compatibility.

And to be clear, I’m not saying I don’t think the investment is worthwhile; just necessary and not trivial.

> "upfront investment" is not the same as "inherently takes more time and effort".

We can agree to disagree here, but I just find this to be a rather odd conclusion. I’m not trying to split hairs, but think that “just change the culture” hand waves away a massive undertaking for most orgs, and it’s better to address this head-on than pretend it doesn’t exist.
It's $168 average for US car insurance per month too.
None of these issues couldn't be addressed in remote teams. It's not as if you can just take an office culture, make everyone be remote overnight, and have everything continue to chug along exactly the same as if nothing happened. Remote does require some adaptations. But in my experience, ultimately remote work is a drastic increase of quality of life without any decrease in productivity.
React has improved its state management abilities throughout its journey. With the 16.3 upgrades, the React team introduced Context API to quickly share a state across the entire application or a portion of it. On the other hand, React Hooks came as a new addition to React with version 16.8. React Context API and React useState Hook manage the state in a React application but differ in their use cases and implementations.

So, in this article, I will compare Context API and useState Hook. For better understanding, I have provided various use cases for each.
And the format doesn't become unreadable due to software changes!
Agree with those downsides but the benefit is still in saving time on commuting, which for me is the biggest benefit.
> It's not perfect but a group of aligned people in the same physical working space will just dominate a similar group spread apart that has to use chats & zoom to communicate. Management has got to be seeing this, in various forms, across multiple business segments.

There's no data on this, at the very least you could mention that it's only your personal impression ?

IMO (and this is clearly a personal take) there are two competing effects:
- higher bandwidth and easier to align face to face
- more distractions, interruptions, more complicated to get things done

If you're in a business or position where you have no IP or nothing hard to do per say, you'll see the first one dominate. If you're somewhere with IP and competitive advantages through smarts then I'd say (personal again) the second effect can come to dominate.

Google pulling a "no remote" move means to me that their competitive advantage in terms of engineering and smarts is not a priority + using the fact that the market swung back towards employers vs. employees. But not general comment about "this take is obviously so much better", this is just intellectual lazyness I believe

Well, recently there were some challenges trying to ‘con’ an AI (named Gandalf, Gandalf-the-white or even Sandalf who only understood ‘s’-words) to reveal a secret. Asking it to e.g. tell the secret ‘speak second syllables secret’ solved it, so yes, in principle it will be possible to work around any AI-rule-following.
> like one guy claiming to have frequent sex with his wife during the workday.

This would be more believable if he’d said girlfriend.

Completely disagree, and the countless examples of successful remote teams disprove your claim.
Well sure, there are a lot of different options. But I wanted to pick a toolkit where there were already a lot of UI components available and I would haven't to hand roll a lot of them manually.

For instance, my UI contains a node graph. Since I was using Electron I could simply use react-flow [0]. As part of my research I also implemented node graphs in both imgui and Qt and, while certainly possible, it is a lot of work to get all the interaction nuances right.

The main drawback of using Electron was having to do a lot of interop work, of course, but as long as I was mostly working on the UI side I had all the benefits of hot reloading, existing design systems to pick and choose (I ultimately picked Mantine [1]), etc.

That’s absolutely false — sideloading has nothing to do with security checks, especially not sandboxing.

> The worse consequences of these events came from the evacuation of the zones, not from the radiations.

As if, had we only not evacuated people and left everyone around, nobody would have died and everything would have been better...

> Yes there were death due to direct radiations, about 31 for Chernobyl and none for Fukushima. But that's very small compared to all the death due to coal energy pollution, and even hydro which is catastrophic when a dam breaks (which happens way more than nuclear plant accidents).

This is not a good argument, or at least a bad statistic. You need to look at deaths per <X>, not deaths as a result of. Sure, deaths are fewer with Nuclear, but also, deaths are fewer per coconut. Deaths per terawatt is a bad argument because again, there are so many fewer nuclear plants and the tera-watts are also lower.

A better analysis would be acres of land made uninhabitable by energy source. It doesn't matter you have all the electricity if nobody can live anywhere, whether it is coal causing massive wildfires in Canada or failed Nuclear plants evacuating 40 mile regions (and you need to be careful even then - the wildfires are caused by heat which is caused in part by tera-watts, although largely by fossil fuels and chemicals in the atmosphere, the dams floods are caused by lack of upkeep, a problem shared by nuclear reactors...)
I agree that proportional representation would be better. It's painful living in a "purple" state when that means one party handily wins state-wide elections but the other has a right grip on state legislature.

>In proper system with proportional representation, you need to ensure that each location doesn't abuse it's power to count votes and to fabricate population counts to gain an advantage, and you can only do so if you bring random people from different locations to count the votes in each place.

There are protections for the voting and counting processes. Each candidate gets to send a representative (often a lawyer) to audit. And the workers are chosen from the community. Allowing non-residents to become poll workers would quickly lead to national political groups sending partisan members across districts.

Population counts are created by the federal Bureau of the Census. Unless there's a constitutional amendment, that's a guarantee. Abd they're one of the last agencies we should fear about becoming politically corrupted.
> I'm not sure what you mean by E-10. Basically all gasoline that is sold in the US is E-10. You have to look hard to not get E-10. I doubt you have performed the experiment you described, for the simple reason that it's hard to find gasoline that's not mixed with ethanol.

It's not really productive to make assumptions. Where I live I can buy non-oxygenated gas at almost every station. And, yes, I actually do this experiment all the time given I'll drive to places with a trailer where I'm forced to run an ethanol blend.

I realize my comment conflated two things: the reduction of performance and the difference in power per straight gallon. My point is that even with a minimal blend you can lose significant mileage / power. The easiest layman's way to measure that is in MPG. And, yes, there is a significant drop in both power available and MPG.

And for reference [0]:
"Due to ethanol's lower energy content, FFVs operating on E85 get roughly 15% to 27% fewer miles per gallon than when operating on regular gasoline, depending on the ethanol content. Regular gasoline typically contains about 10% ethanol."

The above is in normal driving. So, no, I'm not making my statement up.

As the sibling to your comment noted that cake slicing only works like that if there’s a homogeneous preference for slices between parties but that’s not the case with districts.

What I don’t get here though is what is the other party picking in this scenario. Is this saying in lue of voting just give both parties equal amount of districts to represent? Then what’s the point of cake slicing?
