I did what your boss did. WFH means that other people at your home might be there too, your wfh spot might be uncomfortable, and for me changing the scenery and getting some peace and quiet helped me productive. If I have a delicate call I don’t want my kids barging in telling me the Wifi is slow or my wife asking for dinner plans. Also, changing scenario helps me leaving problems at the door.

I really don’t get when people defend WFH as a Holy Grail and complain that are catalogued as lazy or freeloaders, only to become fierce critics and cataloging anyone who prefers going to the office as boot-lickers or mediocre middle-management (not your post SteveBK123, but a common attitude across this type of thread)

Everyone has different circumstances, different jobs, and our minds work differently. Let’s live and let live.
Sure they do. She told them to stop delivering packages. Period. None of them are legit after that.
There is a middle ground which all browsers do support, and not require permission prompts - Origin private file system https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...

If you're not familiar it's a file-system like API for writing files to an opaque non-user-accessable file system. Your application could probably provide it's own export functionality using blob urls, and import using traditional file "upload".
Thanks for working on this. Have you considered abandoning urbit references and nomenclature? I've been casually following urbit a long time, and think there's a case to be made that it has accumulated enough toxic baggage to rub off on onto any project with even a whiff of association. I mean, you can see this thread as well as I can. Would it be realistic or possible to keep what you've got in plunder but reframe it in such a way as to make it less susceptible to guilt by association?
It's trivial to you that a few extra pieces of drywall and a handful of additional planks of wood would launch the cost of a buildout into the stratosphere?

Are you even reading the comments about studies showing the lost productivity (and therefore revenue) caused by open office spaces?

I didn't say it wouldn't cost one penny more than an open office, I said it wasn't wildly different. So many buildouts go halfway already with the tiny "phone rooms"; it's not in any way a budget buster to keep that idea going, except around a central shared space where meetings can take place.
A private office is very much something that causes me to toggle between wanting to WFH and go into the office.

I hate open floorplans for working (fine if I'm walking around to get coffee or something). The biggest draw of WFH is that I don't have to put on headphones just to get some quiet time.
Where are people (that aren't Amazon) buying ARM servers to put in their datacenters? They seem hard to find or actually order.
dan bernstein had pointed out the risk that speculative execution would lead to side-channel attacks years before, but there's a common pattern where security people point out a risk and then vendors dismiss it as impractical until it's demonstrated in practice

Yes! (although ruby (irb) instead of python). It's amazingly useful to be able plug in expressions in a single line of text format. Though for more complex expressions, something like qalculate looks nice to me.
> irrelevant-in-PC physical number buttons paradigm, taking up more than half of useful UI space

Calling it irrelevant is a bit like calling vim irrelevant. Classic calculators don't use REPL, they are designed to minimize the number of keypresses required to input your problem and explore it in the intuitive manner. They use highly efficient modal input languages (kind of like vim). Besides being efficient, these languages tend to have one-off commands you have to remember. Having a cheatsheet on your screen by default is useful for discoverability. In the algebraic calculator paradigm and their typical use cases (napkin math), having a history is not very useful (unlike in RPN where having the stack on the screen is nice).

That said, Qalculate is weird in that it uses a REPL and the input line, which is much slower and clunkier than the algebraic input, but still tries to mimic a classic calculator. It's also slow to start. Not sure what's its use case, as it offers neither speed of a classic calculator nor the feature set of full-fledged math software.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was an Exynos bug either. Samsung LSI haven't produced a decent flagship Exynos SOC for multiple generations now. Always behind Snapdragon on overall balance of performance (CPU/GPU/radios), heat and battery life.

I refuse to buy any phone with an Exynos SOC ever since I got screwed with a poorly tuned Exynos 9810 in my S9. Andrei Frumusanu did a great two part article on turning the 9810 when he used to write for Anandtech:

A lot of people retired or otherwise left the workforce. For example stay at home parents substantially increased and has stayed increased since. They're talking about people who left the workforce as in, no longer working/looking for work, you're talking about death exclusively.

The "Civilian Labor Force Level" isn't a relevant statistic because of its definition:

> Civilian Labor Force is the sum of civilian employment and civilian unemployment. These individuals are
civilians (not members of the Armed Services) who are age 16 years or older, and are not in institutions such as prisons, mental hospitals, or nursing homes.

This, by definition, ignores people who exited the workforce. Here is the two charts you want to compare instead:

- 2019: https://www.bls.gov/cps/aa2019/cpsaat03.htm

- 2023 https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat03.htm

Specifically the "Not in labor force" column. That's a 4M loss. Out of those it is disproportionately women and older people.
Glad you like the PDF! Fun fact: it's actually the print stylesheet output of the one-pager edition. Hit Ctrl-P on https://cpu.land/editions/one-pager (pref. in Chrome)
Sure, that was the point of my comment. Making the offices bigger and nicer incentivizes people to come in, and reduces the building capacity, the goal should be to find the point where those two trends meet.

Of course, this is under the assumption the company wants people to come in willingly. They could just try and force their employees to come in, but people are really into work from home and good employees have more options.
Where? If the plan is to create a space in Discord with like-minded HN individuals, I've been there already.

The space is still around, but in retrospect the choice of using Discord was not a good idea. Ping me on my mail if you want to chat about it, OP, or maybe, if I remember, I'll ping you on Discord.

tl;dr: you cannot create a self-sustaining small group of strangers on a closed, by-invite platform. The thing IRC got right is that people could come and go without needing an invite link. Otherwise all you have is a leaky bucket.
>, and you're done.

It doesn't seem that simple. When I researched Nextcloud in the past, I avoided it because of warnings like the ones in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25481465

Ctrl+F search that thread for "failure".

If Nextcloud has solved whatever issues were happening in 2020, it still doesn't necessarily instill confidence because one can remain skeptical and assume there are new issues still happening in 2023. E.g. https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues

It's going to take some time to wade through all those Github issues to determine if there are any showstoppers that would affect one's installation. This doesn't look like a low-maintenance solution. The gp's wording of "dedicated the time" seems very relevant. Copy&paste of some YAML doesn't really address the work involved.
Ugh ... that's depressing.

I don't think it's more dangerous it would just require more resources to counter. I mean day you have a3 like rock that splinters into 3x 1 mile rocks. I'm pretty sure we'll still have a bad day, especially with three impact sites but the magnitude of each impact will be less than the full impact of the fully intact 3 mile rock. Doing something is always better than nothing especially if we are facing extinction.

If only to say at least we tried. it's kind of amazing we actually live in an era where we can try. I mean it's only like 60 years of is being able to send rockets into space, we made it this long without needing to, but Knowing we can at least have a fighting chance is comforting.

Of course to win at this we also need to be able to detect in an early enough manner any and all disruptive size asteroids. it would suck too have the technology to save earth but not see our annihilation coming until it was too late to do anything.
There ought to be one of those laws for this. In this case, I think the law is "All apps with bored UX devs eventually look like Apple Mail." We can call it Bityard's Law, I don't mind.
> going to be extremely difficult to deflect due to the momentum

Momentum is a function of mass and velocity. The momentum of two similarly-massive asteroids, one rock the other metal, is the same. Given existing technologies, deflecting a solid-ish body is easier than a loose pile of gravel.
These were my first encounters with the stories first hand, and loved them.

I suppose it’s a matter of taste.

We’ve never been through classic texts at school, I think it’s a cultural thing if they are fundamental enough to be taught at school or not.

Probably depends a lot with what expectations you come to the poem. My expectation was that it would be a struggle, but was captivated from the start.

I’ve looked some older translations in english and the ’old style’ verses have been complete turn-offs. The ’simplified’ or more dynamic translations were what made them work for me.

And it’s not the specific turns of phrazes that matter as much as the whole. The stories of both Iliad and Odyssey totally kick ass, and are amazing portals to bronze age life.
Or like every 2D platformer ever?
Yeah no. Slack is the communications hub at my company. I want to be able to see and quickly react to everything at once, not having to switch between different views. It was bad enough when they removed split views last month.

This looks like some misguided attempt to appeal to Discord users.
GitHub Actions: Revolutionizing Workflows or a Fad?
I don't care what you call it, but to me it's still a Commodore 64, and not a gimmick, and I could just as well tell you not to get so worked up over someone else not caring about your purist insistence it is not.

Reselling an actual model T with an electric motor as an actual mode T with an electric motor would work just fine. Some would lose interest because it's been changed, some would find it more attractive. For my part, I'd find it far more interesting and be willing to pay more for something esoteric like that.
If I understand the issue correctly:

Uncharted 2, (or 3?) on the PlayStation, was widely publicized among game developers as having this kind of technology built into enable for instance the Nathan Drake character to stick appropriately to platforms which were being tossed around in a sinking ship. The ship was filling up with water creating buoyancy for the platform that he was standing on. There were numerous talks about this and I believe also a GDC presentation about it.

Those are process failures. People need to be responsible on some electronic communication medium and if they can't do that then they have to be fired.

These are shoes returned to a likely dishonest and fraudulent seller... if they had any value they wouldn't be dumping them on her like this. It's also possibly illegal for her to sell them.
But what if those prices weren't deflated at all by the low wages? What if instead of passing their low costs onto the consumer, businesses were just pocketing the difference instead, because prices weren't really based upon the costs to produce the good/service, but on the consumers' ability to pay. In other words, raising wages would have little to no affect on prices.

I'm describing a non-competitive market, which of course also describes the majority of the American economy today.
Because we just came out of two or three decades of Google and Yahoo offices splashed across the business pages, filled with bean bags and beer taps and foosball tables, making us all think that these playgrounds created massive streams of revenue for their companies.

Turns out, it was just advertising that made the cash all along. The silly "collaborative" environment had nothing to do with it.
The other benefit is that using self hostable software makes it harder for centralised deployments from screwing users over.

It is harder (but not impossible, and not without it's own inconvenience) for mastodon.social to do a rug pull because there are near-identical alternatives that others (or yourself) host.
At least you have hallways, man. Our collaboration happens in the space between desks where the power strips go. It's not so bad if we reorient the monitors just right so they don't hit our heads.

Food producers pay the AHA for use of the “Heart-Check” certification mark on certain products, like meat and cereal.

The maker of Crisco virtually launched the AHA as a nation-wide powerhouse in 1948 by designating a $17 million grant.

Where is and how much of that type of funding accounted?
Microsoft used to do this. Famously, they had private offices for a long time while all the competition was open-office plans. They've scaled this way back in recent years though (to much complaining, albeit totally ignored, from employees). Whether this means the brainworms got to them too or they actually have the numbers to prove that private offices aren't worth the expense, I don't know.

If every PC had a number pad I'd agree but efficiently using the top row number keys for both symbols and numbers is a tall expectation for most users to default to. Doubly so when you factor in holding shift and memorizing the operator locations in that row. A full point and click is a great default IMO, even on PC. I'd also argue in the case of devices with a numberpad you're unlikely to care as much about the wasted UI space anyways.
I use RealCalc on Android as well! Been handy to have for years. I bought the paid version and have been pleased with the purchase.
I think there are different ceilings.
And probably everyone has some spaces where they didn't reach their ceiling yet.
Another example could be: in Tribes, when you pilot a vehicle your player character gets attached to a mount point and any physics calculations are ignored.

I'd imagine nintendo probably have other claims linked to this since alone it has clearly been done before.
Yeah, but it comes out of a different budget, if it's costed for at all; and if it's noticed it's blamed on workshy employees, not a tactical error by management.
Correct.

I was tempted to reply, "you're not from around here, are you?" but that's probably a bit too snarky.

There are only four states that require you have an ID during a police stop and Texas is not one of them. Obviously if you're driving, a driver's license is required. But for a random stop walking down the road? Nope, Texas does not require that you have ID.

To the rest of your post: I honestly don't know where to start. You're making a lot of assumptions that don't hold. Suffice to say that it's a lot harder to prevail in a case against the police than you realize.

People get arrested/thrown into jail for no reason far more often than you apparently think. I know someone (a software developer actually) who was attacked by an undercover officer in a case of mistaken identity. He fought back not knowing the guy was a cop. To prevent him from being able to sue, they charged him with assaulting a police officer. After months of trying to fight it in court, he finally gave up. City dropped the charges as long as he agreed not to sue them.

This is why people are so pissed and why there have been so many protests in the last few years. Everyone is tired of this shit.
I'm scared I'll go to jail :)
> If an attacker is capable of installing apps on your server... you've already lost.

That is a deep misunderstanding of how security works.

The defender’s dilemma states that breaches are inevitable because defenders have to be right 100% of the time whereas attackers only have to be right once. This is why you have to defend in as many layers as possible.

A better way to approach it is to assume that at any given time an attacker can execute code on your systems (because they have knowledge and access to unreleased exploits) and work on ways to detect anomalies and behaviors indicative of compromise as well as limiting the blast radius.
> You'll have to solve fewer captchas.

Alright, you got me. There is a tiny, minor, insignificant benefit. This is not worth giving up any control of my own PC.

Highly unlikely. This will be defeated by spammers just like every other attempt to stop them is.

> Fewer websites will be behind a login wall.

Not just highly unlikely, but absolutely not going to happen. No site that currently requires login will change to not require login. No site will give up that user data.

Exactly! I used to work at a place where we had a proper office for each team, about 2-4 people in each room per day because WFH was a (real) option.

I actually enjoyed going to that office because it was very quiet and I didn't have a proper workspace at home. My commute was ~30mins with a motorcycle. Yes, sometimes the A/C or the lighting must be compromised with other coworkers, but that's still okay if you get to socialize in exchange.

The major aspect was obviously noise. But I also felt dignified in that office. It was not status like C-Suite offices, just feeling a nice environment instead of being crammed in a chicken coop.
This is actually a decent take.

Most of our C-Suite doesn't live near an office. Or, to be specific WE MOVED HQ to where they wanted to live.

We have other VPs and whatnot who live not near an office, or have winter/summer homes they go back and forth from.

Meanwhile our mandatory "3 days a week in the office" starts September.
That might be an argument if the only market was for projects like the linked one, which provide drop in replacement for period-accurate replicas, but the market is also full of full FPGA reimplementations and machines that adds all kinds of additional features, which shows there's a substantial portion of the retro community who don't care even about whether the result provides accurate reproductions.
I mean, "within the first year of the pandemic" presumably means "between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021", and the vaccines didn't become widely available [to all people 16 and older] until Apr 2021, so I wouldn't blame that 14% increase on the vaccine.

Why not both, make money and benefit people. I think that’s what earning money means. Otherwise you’re just making money at someone else’s cost.
I'm not sure how things work up there, but in the US you can refuse any unopened package by taking it back to the nearest carrier facility and telling them you refuse it.

This applies whether the package was dropped off or handed directly to you, signed for, taken into possession, or not. If the original seal is intact, the carrier must accept the refusal.

It's unfortunate that she opened any of them, because now the above doesn't apply and she probably technically took on some legal risk/liability by doing so.

Usually just because a package has been misdelivered, but you still know it's not for you, you still haven't gained the right to open it.

Still, hopefully someone will help her find a way out of her predicament.
