If microscopic spores from poisonous mushrooms can render edible mushrooms deadly, then how can you trust even grocery store mushrooms? They aren't grown in sealed semiconductor fab cleanrooms.

I've only heard of look-alike mushroom deaths, never a death caused by an ostensibly safe species of mushroom that was being promiscuous with deadly spores. Can you substantiate this threat?
I'm always surprised by these chat apps having less text visible on a full-HD screen than a text-mode IRC client in a 80x25 terminal. I know cramming things in a tiny amount of space is not great either, but having to navigate all the time to find things instead is even worse in my opinion.

At some point many years in the future, more lives will have been saved due to WFH trends (pollution, accidents, etc.) than were taken prematurely by COVID.

Fascinating silver lining.
It can be, as long as you are willing to take a slight detour from reality.

> while working from their home and doing about 4 hours of real work a day.

One of the consequences of working from home is I tend to work 8-12 hours a day. Sometimes it's hard to mentally shut off work because it's in the same place I live. I don't know how anyone works 4 hours a day, unless they simply don't have a lot to do.

> I'm a vfx compositor turned devops crossover.

That sounds interesting! How come? Been doing devops stuff for a few years by now but also have some background in the Unity/HCI space which I enjoyed a lot. I'd be curious how this combination might be applicable in the VFX/media production industry.

I've also been on the fence of learning Unreal for a while now. Maybe you could shoot me an email (address is in my bio)? I'd be very interested in how the industry works outside the 'classic' VFX artist space.
I had the misfortune of having to maintain an 18'000 line bash 3 script. Array handling broke in many subtle ways between bash 3 and 4.

> If your scripts do that much work that your shell's speed matters, you should reconsider writing shell scripts and start thinking about using something like perl, python or ruby.

Usually yes.

But there is a small subset of use cases which need a really portable solution. Once I would have recommended to just write it in perl, because it was on virtually all systems. But now perl is getting phased out on some OSs/distros, and with python you never know if you get 2 or 3. Or embedded systems which don't have python/perl in the first place.

My go to solution for slow scripts is usually to limit subshells/forks as much as possible, and/or run it with busybox with the "exec prefers applets" option

edit: it's actually the "run 'nofork' applets directly" option. Can give quite a speed boost compared to bash if you have to call "external" utilities like grep/head/etc.

Great!

I want Intel to improve the driver stack I use on my hardware, and if information how I use their graphics stack is useful for that, cool. I continue on my usual usage, and Intel gets data on how to improve the experience for free.

How does anyone expect software to improve if nobody gives feedback? Ya'll know those website surveys, bug report apps in GPU control panels? If people used those, maybe secret telemetry wouldn't be required. It's easier to complain vaguely online in random communities.

Data collection isn't going away. Nor is it inherently harmful, unless you feed into the idea you're intentionally using hostile hardware and software for some reason.
Network equipment can often use a cut down version of Linux or flavour of BSD and they don't always include BASH
As important as the DART mission was, we are still quite far from actually defending against a mass extinction sized asteroid or even comet. The Dimorphos asteroid, which was hit by the DART craft, has a mass of only about 5 * 10^9 kg, while the Chicxulub asteroid (which caused the Dinosaur mass extinction) had a mass of 1 * 10^15 to 5 * 10^17 kg. That's six to eight orders of magnitude difference, or a factor of one million to 100 million.

Somebody has probably calculated the details, but I suspect if we have to hit such a large impactor, we have to launch as many hydrogen bomb equipped Starships at it as we can. And our time window might be quite short. The worst case is if it's actually a comet, as these are hard to detect in advance, since they aren't aligned with the plane of the solar system.

By the way, if you Google for "DART mission" or "Chicxulub impactor", be careful, something might hit your search results...
> the title is basically common sense and I don't need a study to tell me that this applies to humans

Not sure how this is common sense. If it were mice engineered to have celiac disease or recently diagnosed humans, it might make sense. Extrapolating it to the general population of a different species in a part of the body not related to digestion is a bit of a leap.

Basically this.

If companies want people back in the office when they could WFH instead, they're going to have to compensate them, time and costs, for the commute.
what would be the correct/ideal way it would function in that regard?
Strongly disagree here. You're denying that the constituents of food matter and that it's all calories. No one is "allergic" to sugar but it has an effect on the body. Cutting out sugar is (or at least FEELS) different than cutting out the same number of calories in vegetables or meat.

There's no (known/convenient) blood test for so many dietary idiosyncrasies.

Implementation of intelligence (AGI): we take the process itself of intelligence and replicate it algorithmically.

An AI solves a problem reliably. An AGI has judgement. The context is not about any of this.
Summary: prosecraft.io counted word occurrences and presented statistics about them. I don't think you even need fair use for this, because this is something you obviously are allowed to do, without any permissions. This is not generative AI, this is old school statistics.

And then it sometimes presented a page worth of quoted text from a book. Which should fall under fair use.

>I'd do it because I think it's better to have separate work / life areas; right now my WFH spot is also my PC gaming spot and the bedroom and the place where laundry dries, and I wouldn't mind more distance between work, leisure and private life.

Long time ago I used to rent a room in a shared house 5 min walk from work. My housemates were all cool people, but working on a laptop sitting next to the bed I slept in every night would e far worse for me than just going to the office. But this was decades ago. I can understand why someone in such position would prefer an office.

But if you can have a house, and you're mid/senior in your role there is nothing better than wfh.

Also I've recently noticed a disturbing trend. Companies advertising 100% remote work, then you go through the whole recruitment process and at the very end they tell you. BTW, it's not 100% wfh. You gotta come to the office 1 day per month (sometimes even 1 per week). Anyone looking for real wfh job should be aware of such tricks to nip them in the bud early on.
Ha! I get so much shit from my partner because I refuse to go through those scanners.

I don't make a big scene about it, but it's fun to note how much social pressure there is to just follow.

Most Airports are actually totally fine with the opt-out, except the British ones for some reason. "You won't always be able to opt out y'know" - yes mate, but then I probably won't fly anymore.
Both criticisms may be fair.

And the HN guidelines stand regardless.
I know I could get paid ~10-20% more somewhere else, but I stay where I am. I still make good money, I like my job and the people well enough, it's fully remote, and the quality of life of being able to take care of my 5yo son after/before school, and being present to see my expecting baby as he grows up in between meetings, instead of through messaging and photo share, is IMHO well worth the pay cut.
> I've already seen huge gains in income and work-life balance by spending time automating my workflow.

Sure, most of us have used copilot or other AI tools and seen some benefit. But there's a point of no return where suddenly those tools are able to do the other things we think only we can.

What happens then?
The problem with this and the video provided above is if the police are going to just completely fabricate statements you make then they can also fabricate that you decided to speak to them and confess.

Knowing several officers, including some id never want to run across as part of their job, I do think they are far more likely to fabricate something that corroborates what they actually believe to be true.

That is if they come by and ask you what you saw the night your neighbors house was broken into and your response is “I’d like to talk to my lawyer”, seems like you just bought yourself a whole lot of headache for probably no good reason.
I don’t mind if people can see me working, but it makes me crazy to feel like people can look at my screen.

Not that there is anything scandalous on my screen. It is just that my screen feels very intimate, private. I rarely share more than a window at a time when on calls.

I just don’t want people to be able to read my screen. I can’t explain why, and I know no one is even interested in it. I don’t want people looking at it anyway.
I believe this concept came from the PeopleWare book by Demarco/Lister.

Its common sense that for work requiring deep periods of concentration, eliminating distractions is key. Easiest way to eliminate distractions in an office environment is being in a room behind a closed door. Cheapest way to do that these days is WFH, assuming people have that space where they live.
Show HN: I built a tool that helps fixing JavaScript production bugs much faster
Logging and tools like Sentry are a thing of the past.

A while back on a night out in northern Norway, I had to start debugging a critical production bug that broke the payment flow of my SaaS product. I had limited time to fix the bug or I would have lost about ~1K profit. Super stressful.

I had logging and Sentry in place, but neither helped me reproduce or find the root cause of the bug.

Ever since, I started thinking; why can’t we just have a tool that you setup once, and that allows us to reproduce every function call and function that the user ran before the bug?

This is how the idea for Flytrap was born.

Flytrap is the fastest debugging tool for JavaScript projects. Just set it up in 5 minutes. No logging needed. When viewing bugs on Flytrap, it creates a visualisation of your code, and displays the bugs RIGHT IN YOUR CODE. Each function and function call in your code can be inspected for their input and output values, to gain a deep understanding of what went wrong.

Then, to reproduce any bug, just copy the ID of your bug, place it in your Flytrap config file, and boom, the values of the end-user will be injected in your local development environment!

They're not bankrupt yet? I thought the pandemic basically killed the business.
I suspect the lines are typically drawn between introverts and extroverts, so it's unfair to generalize here.

I work remote and we don't have an office near me, but I'd love to go back. My job is where I spend the majority of my life. I like to get to know the people I work with by socializing over lunch, after work social events, etc. It's how I meet people.

Collaborating remotely also sucks. You miss out on a lot of non-verbal communication vs in person.

It's fine if it's not your jam and all of the above sounds like hell to you - it just means I don't want to work with you.
Ultimately, diving deeper with only websites and articles can be quite challenging. I experienced this myself trying to learn more about the continuation passing style transformation in a compiler. No online websites or articles discussed the topic with any kind of depth.

Ultimately I read the classic book "Compiling with Continuations", and it basically cleared up all my confusions.

All of this is to say, don't discount books and courses. They will almost always be more in depth and correct than what you will find written up on a website.
> This was simply the cattle waking up and realizing that they are the ones with the actual power. Any power a CEO claims to have is simply voodoo. The issue is employees still don't see this. Even without a union having enough people just walk out because the company doesnt respect them will crush the company. Rightly so.

This. While unionisation and labor organisation in general are a good thing for the workers, just people deciding they have had enough and finding a better employer (and maybe pulling out a couple of colleagues via referrals) is going to hurt companies.
Understanding Go 1.21 generics type inference
Lots of people in this thread complain about offices. I have worked for many years as a financial "desk quant". Often I find things to work on chatting with investment staff or overhearing what they are talking about. They will be comfortable asking me a question if they have spent time with me in person. Employees working together can build bonds. Having catered breakfasts and lunches a few times a week is pleasant, as is a monthly happy hour.

I know offices can be noisy and distracting. So can a home when you have children (and dirty dishes in the sink, unopened mail, etc.) Sometimes I look forward to having more time to code uninterrupted on Friday, when fewer people are in the office and there are no meetings.

Consider that if you can do your job fully remote, so can an engineer in a country where the pay is 1/10 that of the U.S.
So much this. Doing chores is a great way to have a break: physically engaging and functional.

> The manner and extent in which it came to be abused in recent months made it unacceptable for us to continue providing it.

Probably the difference between Mullvad and AirVPN/AzireVPN is how popular the service is, which also usually dictates how popular it is for people to try to abuse it.

Maybe 1% of each service's traffic is abuse, which for AirVPN/AzireVPN is not that much, but on Mullvads scale it becomes a whole nother beast.
Do you have any sources for the NordVPN claim?

Edit: I just had a look through your post history and you seem to have been claiming this for months, without providing any evidence. Shady.

The most common use case is where ARM provide fully functional CPU core IP that you can put into your own SoC - in AWS Graviton's case that seems to be the ARM Neoverse line of cores.

You can also get architecture licenses where you can implement your own CPU core (from scratch, or by making tweaks to an ARM design) - Apple has one of these, but Apple is a special case in that they were one of the original partners when ARM was originally founded in 1990.

RISC-V on the other hand is an architecture that is open for anyone to implement, but the RISC-V foundation doesn't sell you a core design - you need to create your own, or find a partner to sell you one. It's also much newer, so there's less of an ecosystem around it compared to ARM.
Well DC I know they had some serious train defects that took trains/lines out of service for repairs for some time and caused capacity reductions.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/09/22/met...

NYC they are running fewer trains so even if overall ridership is down, the trains are as crowded or more crowded than ever. Further in NYC due to homeless/migrant population growth falling through the cracks, the subway ends up being the shelter of last resort. Finally violent crime on the subway increased substantially over covid, and while down is still not at 2019 levels. So while waiting longer for a train, you are more likely to be dealing with a general sense of crime/disorder/etc.
Maybe I'm overly critical, but if fixing the Twitter search box is too hard, maybe buying solar (and batteries), fabbing chips, and building a giant data center to replicate the current generation of what another company already built is foolhardy.

The celiac disease test covers most cases of gluten sensitivity. Of the non-celiac gluten sensitive people the rest of them can be found (trivially) with in-office tests at a gastroenterologist.

Most gluten containing products also contain simple carbohydrate. Could it be a reduction in insulin resistance? Possibly. Point being, there are tests for this. In fact, a GI can test for many (but probably not all) serious dietary problems.

" I'd rather take a 50% paycut than go back to the office."

People should stop saying this. Otherwise it will soon be the standard to take a serious paycut for WFH. .

I've been part of a number of organizations that have tried to use Slack as a knowledge base. It works fine when there is a small amount of information that needs to be shared by a small amount of people (say, less than twenty). I find it is really poorly suited for it when you have more people than that and information to be shared.

The biggest Slack I have been on was I think close to 10,000 people. The team that set it up envisioned it to be the place for everything, but it was a big mess. Perhaps separate instances were needed.

A better approach is to make an existing knowledge base work well within Slack. This is something that Microsoft Teams is trying to do, but still doesn't do completely effectively.
