I suspect many people on HN have never had a proper office with a door.

While I do agree with your overall premise, having had offices at multiple roles over my career, it is a major improvement over cubicles and open office.

Having a space to work in complete, uninterrupted quiet is wonderful. The simple social signal of the door being opened or close implying availability to chat works great to balancing heads down time and chat with colleagues time. Have a white board of your own that you can stare at throughout the course of a project, that evolves with discussions has not be replicated yet either remote or in a shared space.

You can also get pretty wild with customizing an office for comfort. I used to know many people that brought their own lighting in, completely solving the problem of constant overhead fluorescence. And brewing your coffee the way you like it in your own space in the afternoon is very refreshing.

Even given all that I'm sure many people would still prefer remote work (I would at this point), but I can image a fairly large number of people that would be very interested in a set up like this. It also mean your home is completely work free again.

I don’t think we should feel ashamed of being able to do our work from home.

There’s no benefit to making everyone go to the office/job just because some people cannot do their jobs without that.
>And, perhaps most importantly, have a door that they could keep closed so that if anyone wants to interrupt them, they actually have to knock first.

In my experience with offices at a couple of different companies (of much different sizes), the social convention was door open unless you were on a private call/meeting or really needed to go heads down on something. It would actually have been considered rude to knock on the door because they door would obviously not have been closed unless there was a good reason.

A lot of people seem to imagine that offices mean you shut the door and don't interact with anyone and that's never been my experience.
There are also general tools I like for this that work for any website change. visualping.io is good. Though it might be hard to configure for specific textual changes.

I’m not related to academia. I don’t design CPUs. I don’t write operating systems and I don’t care about these side channel attacks. I simply write user-mode software, and I want my code to be fast.

The academic research used or written by CPU designers being public doesn’t help me, because I only care about the implementation details of modern CPUs like Intel Skylake and newer, AMD Zen 2 and newer. These details have non-trivial performance consequences for branchy code, but they vary a lot between different processors. For example, AMD even mentions neural networks in the press release: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/sense-mi

I find it really hard not to cynically and instinctively view something like this as greenwashing. Making airlines more eco friendly is kinda like making murder more humane.

Regulating Commercial Spyware [pdf]
Hard disagree, unless you pursue a super niche position doing a specific technical task you are going to have to become really really good at reading docs and learning how to cobble stuff together out of cloud services and JS libraries.

Far more likely someone with an academic approach to programming would be completely overwhelmed when a task requires them to get a base understanding of a bunch of different technologies before moving on.

If you work at a huge company and have a bunch of project managers and designers narrowing specifications down so you can focus entirely on execution sure, but that is rarely the case for most people.
Thanks, that helps develop my understanding.

> I don't know what level to pitch an ELI at

I think you nailed it mostly. I can handle concepts, but my math isn't really up to it. I might have a look at the textbooks you cite.

> Likewise, I'm not here to help you choose between MOND or dark matter as ways of resolving observed acceleration anomalies, only to try to describe the two approaches

That is all I want; I am not qualified to make that choice anyway.

> DM theories have to get the distribution ([and dynamics]) right
>> yes But equivalently
>> Modified gravity theories need to get the (distribution) and dynamics right

True.

The main differences as I see it is that MOND only requires standard model matter that we can already observe, and it makes some predictions. DM requires additional matter and doesn't seem to predict anything, as we can always find a particular distribution that explains each case. But MOND is not compatible with relativity (so far) whereas DM is.

Fascinating stuff, and the truth to the extent we can determine it, will no doubt be surprising and different to what we currently think.

Thanks for taking the time to explain our current state of knowledge to an interested layman.
We started out with the Infracost CLI showing engineers cost estimates in the terminal before they deployed their code. The learning was that it also makes sense to check for other things like tagging policy issues and best practices not being followed as these things are more actionable than showing engineers a cost estimate. The cost estimate is actually more useful to trigger notifications on, e.g. if an engineer is adding $10K worth of databases, let the engineering management or FinOps teams know so they're not surprised by the spike in the bill and can adjust budgets if needed.
Eh, a year ago I interviewed at a startup that has since died. I was on round 8 when I bailed. SaaS has imported the bureaucratic mindset of the universities that cranked out all these founders.
In TOTK, it only rewinds a specific object rather than the whole world as in Braid.
You might be surprised! The Mullvad client is super well designed and usable for newbs, and I'll bet a lot of their business is from people whose more technical friends told them it was a good idea. There's a reason that Tor warns users that posting personal information or using accounts with their regular credentials compromises anonymity.

I wish RSS had more surface area with general computer users, but I reckon even being called RSS makes it unlikely. Folks in tech often forget how intimidating opaque names can be for nontechnical users.

> The truth is that very few people are ever inclined to murder.

I believe that many people are afraid of the consequences if they were to get caught. I think that if there was some "magical" way to murder someone without getting caught, there would be vastly more murders. Just think of any road rage video: I imagine that many of the participants would be capable of murder at that instance if they knew they would get away with it.
Or think about school shootings: how many more would there be if the perpetrators were sure that it was consequence free.

Wouldn't breaking up a planetary defense worthy asteroid into medium to even large boulder size asteroids be considered a win? Whats the limit on asteroid size that can make it through the atmosphere? And even then, intuitively, it would seem like the destructiveness is going to scale with the size of the individual asteroid, so a rain of many smaller asteroids making it to ground would be far lower than one large asteroid..

Probably just the pointy part. I certainly wouldn't put it past kids to use any sharp object for bullying purposes.

But on the other hand, pins and badges weren't banned when I was in high school either, I distinctly remember at least our resident punks wearing dozens of them on their clothes and backpacks. And pens and pencils and paperclips aren't much less sharp than a typical enamel pin.
and oddly, even though I'm probably the best at going on and on about things that I find interesting, no one seems to want to want to hire me. I don't think this is the full picture.

The only meaningful way to look at class is by looking at class interests. On the one hand, you have the capitalist class who own significant amount of capital and use this capital to further their wealth. On the other hand, you have working class people for whom selling their labour is the primary source of their income.

These two classes have largely contradictory interests. People who own companies want to cut their costs, and therefore they want to lower wages, give lower benefits, less time off, and so on. Workers want the exact opposite of that.

People such as CEOs constitute a labour aristocracy where their interests largely align with the interests of large capitalists and they own some capital of their own.

Anonymize Your Website Upstream
I wonder if someone would be interested to hide their upstream and fully anonymize their upstream (unlike Cloudflare that is under the patriot act). Using that, your servers will be under protection, it will add some latencies but guarantees your anonymity.
If anyone has worked with an IP attorney before then they know that filing patents is a stength-in-numbers approach. You don't file patents because you think you're a genius, you file patents to defend yourself and ensure an end state of mutually assured destruction.

It looks like Nintendo threw everything against the wall to see what sticks, which is what a good IP attorney would recommend. It's unlikely these would hold up in a suit. I would be surprised if Nintendo uses any of these aggressively -- do they have a reputation of doing so?

Nothing to see here, if you ask me.

(Sure, let's abolish parents, but you don't accomplish that by not playing the game. Instead you simply lose.)
A few years ago I also ran into a hardware (or at least very low-level software) bug that was only affecting Samsung devices.

I had taken over maintenance of a library that allowed predicting satellite orbits from TLE data, which was used by the European Space Agency (and others) for the occasional mobile app.

Sporadically, we were getting reports of strange situations where the altitude of a satellite was way off, by hundreds or thousands of kilometers. The bug was really difficult to track down and reproduce, and by chance one of our Samsung tablets finally started showing the behaviour.

It turned out that Dalvik (the now obsolete Android VM) was figuring out that the TLE calculation was in a hot path and would JIT it to run more efficiently, and the optimized code used some native arithmetic (or was it trigonometic? can't recall) call that had a bug. We saw that the incorrect values started showing up right around the time when the JIT started kicking in. Fortunately, we could turn off JIT for specific devices and we rolled out an update that fixed the issue.

Fun times!
> Do you verify that all the parts you suggest are compatible ?

Generating a part list compatible with pcpartpicker.com could fix that easily if not.

It's almost easier to build a PC today than a 100 piece LEGO kit. Otherwise, most components come with manuals for how to assemble them together with the other pieces too, like the motherboard comes with instructions on where things go.

This article seems to be a fine example of "perfect is the enemy of good." Could boulders from an asteroid be dangerous? Sure! Would the asteroid they came from be more dangerous? Oh hell yeah.

This is like complaining because when a missile or drone was shot down the debris landed on a car. Basic physics says in any kind of energetic collision there's going to be debris, and basic statistics says that some of that debris has a chance of hitting something that we'd prefer not be damaged. Such is life.

Your original comment that monocasa responded to read only:

> If the claims are non-novel or obvious, then the examiners, who are familiar with the state of the art in the field, will reject them.

Which displays a stunning level of naivety and lack of familiarity with our patent system. Patents are regularly granted for extremely trivial (edit: and obvious) mechanisms.
They should patent their "tedious side quests with mundane rewards" feature so nobody does it again.
> The functionality seems at first glance to be a given for any game with a similar environment, but according to an observation by naoya2k, what makes Nintendo’s solution unique is that there are no physics working between Link and the dynamic object. Since both the character and object use physics, the most straightforward solution would be that Link moves together with the moving objects he is on top of as a result of physics (such as frictional force), but Nintendo apparently decided that what works better game-wise is Link being given the same movement that the object is performing, without any physics working between the two.

No way this is the first game to ignore the player character in physics calculations. I'm pretty sure in GTA3 you could climb onto the roof of a car and not slide around as the NPC drives and makes sharp turns.
Nope. I was referring the likelihood of perpendicular collisions out of the set of all possible collisions. No time dimension.

There is nothing about Genshin Impact that is related to Zelda in terms of technology. The style is similar but style similarities isn't addressable through patents.

BOTW/TOTK have excellent implementation and aesthetics but there is nothing about them that is technically unique or worthy of a patent.
>> Why are you pretending like flexibility is something you cannot give freely ?

Many of these things are about rite of passage, and people who have gone thru the rites want others to not skip.

It can also be about a power-dynamic, where flexibility isnt given because imposed inflexibility is a power lever.
No other method allows you to have a universal installer on every
platform that will always work.

No shell will guarantee that either. Last week I spent a few hours debugging an installer (bash script) that was failing with a rather puzzling error message (variable not defined). Non-Linux, bash 5.x. Worked on nearly everything under the sun including OSX with its ancient GPLv2 bash.

Turns out on one non-Linux operating systems, one of the utilities used for string manipulation, while POSIX compliant, behaved differently than the same utility in nearly every other operating system.

has fewer dependencies than other solutions

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Nearly everything you do in a shell script is an external dependency. And that's the biggest problem with shell scripts. The actual language is so narrowly scoped that you're dependent upon external utilities that are not so easy to upgrade.

Count how many programs are in /bin. Those are your dependencies. Unlike e.g. python or ruby dependencies, you'll have a much harder time upgrading /bin. Having to fork a new process for trivial tasks is also one of the reasons why shell scripts are so slow.

Sure, bash has builtin versions of some of those utilities like [, but not every system has bash.

>These are placed on the outputs of a neuron and are one of those weird mathematical hacks where I can't really explain why it's needed,

Because when you compose linear functions you get linear functions. So having linear everything is a waste of all layers but one.

In order for this not to happen, you need nonlinearity.
I agree about not wanting to leave Zulip. I have to use Slack for work and I miss Zulip every day. On Slack, most of the time I can't find messages I just read. It's bad.

The problem is latency. Apple can do what they do in terms of performance because they place the RAM extremely close to the SoC and don't have sockets that present their own RF interference challenges.

If you want to run modular, unified RAM, it gets really messy really fast.
