"I did not commit the crime" is a pointless statement even if you repeat it a hundred times. No one is going to believe you. It can't be brought up in court. It is hearsay.

"I committed the crime" on the other hand is an instant confession and conviction.

So the best advice is always – keep your mouth shut.

Re: The Marketplace Dynamics of Remote there is an Ask HN about global or geo-adjusted pay for remote work:

As a long time user of Moq, I’m horrified by this. I think the author has now reverted this but I’ll be moving away from this library anyway.

I’ll also be reevaluating all my Nuget dependencies and their potential security risks (so indirectly, one good thing I guess).

Reading all the comments on GitHub though, I’ve got to feel for the dev a bit - he has half the .NET community all piling on after years of his hard work likely being under appreciated (as is often the case with OSS developers).

He’s made a big misstep with this, and broken a lot of trust, but it genuinely doesn’t look like malice - rather just (really) terrible judgement.

Not excusing his mistake, but wow, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of all that anger.

Personally I feel there is a limit to how angry I’m entitled to be after years of benefitting from this guys work without paying him a penny.

It’s really just a sad situation all round.

Edit: more info on the dev’s reasoning behind this change in his original blog post from January:

Blog HN: Machinist and Technician Jobs Are Coming Back
Homegrown HN writing, only at Blog HN! Haha. What do you think? Will this become a thing?

OK, onto the topic of today's little blog by me, your humble interlocutor.

I just occurred to me that as a result of the tremendous velocity magnifier that is AI, there will be many upcoming societal changes, and many second order effects. One of these will be the rise in jobs that take care of, maintain, tend to, and operate these giant automated tools. Tools that, today, look much like ChatGPT, but in the future, will become highly specialized and do all sorts of funny things wonderfully well. Most likely.

So, that's why I hit you with the paradoxical anachronism that jobs like Technician and Machinist are going to come back. AI Machinist (for a cyberspace machine), Technician (for an AI automation for some task). Typically Machinist and Technician are thought of as older-school jobs (although of course there are many fields were that is just manifestly untrue, Lab Technician for instance is a person, by definition, at the cutting edge; similarly CNC Machinist can be operating in this most esoteric high-falutin realms of the aerospace industry). But in general these trad terms are reserved for a more civilized age, to quote OBI-WAN. A time when steam punk was not a punk but a purpose. When machines, and engines, and factories, ruled verily the Earth upon which now you lazily stretch your feet curled up in your comfort ball lovingly caressing your featureless plank of rarified glass, sparkling with the bits of a 1000 worlds.

That's all from me for today. I hope you enjoyed this installment of my very own Blog HN.

That could be, but depending on the model architecture, it might depend on multi stroke sequences (similar to autocorrect on a phone) rather than identifying each individual keystroke in isolation. If that's the case, the layout may be baked into the model.
This is a great website! Really enjoyed reading it this morning. I wish I had something like this to supplement the really dry textbook I had to read in Operating Systems class in college.

They have plenty of choices, including:

- visa workers who have no bargaining power.

- younger people who are mobile

- moving offices to other places

There have been a few recent posts about struggling to find jobs... every time it turns out they are only applying to online listings for remote jobs, and have high standards. That's not a situation you're likely to stand out in.

I just don't see how global remote work as the norm is "pro worker" for anyone except those already well established in their career. Besides being more disposable, what happened to complaints about companies not providing job resources or training? Did we give up on that one?
Tech won't solve this problem. With a 10 year old and a 9 year old, we have realized that the best way is to take it away and give them an alternative. My kids usually want to be on their devices when they have nothing to do and during summer, it gets harder especially if they don't have too many outside activities. So we try to keep them busy with activities and that helps. IF not outside, we find things to do inside the house that doesn't require a device (art and crafts, board games, 3D Pen etc).
Personal office is irrelevant to me.

My criteria - Is there a reason for me to be in the office on this specific day? Will my team be there? Is there an upcoming milestone where having everyone in a room together for most of the day will make us more productive? If the answer to all three questions is yes, then I want to be in the office that day. If it's just to go to a physical location where I will be on Zoom calls all day with team members all in offices in other locations, then hard pass on going into the office and it doesn't matter whether it's an actual office or a cube.
Huh, yeah, it does do RPN. This is actually looking like a serious replacement for my current daily driver, Emacs calc.

AVIF was a quick hack originally by Netflix by placing an AV1 frame into a HEIC container. I believe it was done in a few weeks of work.

AV1 was largely based on VP9/VP10 and was developed by a team working in Chrome organization.

JPEG XL main mode (VarDCT) and the JPEG recompression is largely developed by Google Research.

WebP as a format was based on VP8, a video codec built by On2 Technologies. On2 was bought by Google in 2010 -- a year before Google published WebP. The transparency and lossless encoding as well as non-video keyframe-by-keyframe animation were designed at Google. The On2 VP8 codec used initially in WebP lossy was not that suitable (too many artefacts) for photography transmission. Jeff Muizelaar wrote a great blog post about this. The codec for WebP were redesigned (without format) changes at Google, and kept improving significantly until around 2015 when it reached pretty good maturity.

Their job is to support their staff against higher management. They are failing to do that if their teams are begrudgingly going back to work. They really do have all the leverage here. A business cannot function without labor or else it would just be the c suite as the only people employed.
Better meaning that in the 90s or early 2000s, your news sources were mostly: newspaper, television, radio, and some Web 1.0 websites. You most likely consumed this at various distinct times of the day, then went about your business to school, work, etc. You did not receive push notifications to a device in your pocket about the latest event, or have people blasting their opinions out all over a social feed.

And before the 90s, you most likely sat down and watched the evening news at one time a day, then read the newspaper in the morning for further information. So this was an even more segmented version of the 90s and early 2000s.

Was the content of the news commercialized and partisan? Yeah, probably was. But you consumed much less of it because it wasn't shoved in your face, demanding your attention at every waking hour.
Nice! What did you start out doing, if you don't mind me asking? And how did you come to this, pivot, if that's what it is?

What's funny is my boss, a total hardo, during latter stages of COVID did live 5 minutes from work.

He used it to his advantage to show his face in the office, but rarely ever put in a full day. So sure he might show up on reports as being a 2-3x/week attender while others were doing 0-1, but many of those were morning-only, afternoon-only, or drop-ins for an in-person meeting of importance. Plus the occasional Friday solitude getaway to the empty office.

To his credit he really put no RTO pressure on us relative to his management chain.

I found this to be very much the case. As I wrote the article, I discovered so many things that I didn't properly understand. It partially took so long because I ended up going down mini rabbit holes every step of the way. And now I understand stuff a lot better!
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.

That said, five minutes means one could come home for lunch.

But anyway, five minute walk to work is highly unlikely; a lot of people (most? citation needed?) have a commute to work, either driving or public transit. I'd rather have a nice private office or small team room than a big open and loud office space.

Is that a bad thing? Since we started WFH, I’ve heard a lot of stories of oncalls spending an hour on things that could have been handled in 5 seconds if the right person had gotten sucked in on the way back from coffee. “Oh, I recognize this bug from two years ago, here’s what you gotta do.” “That customer’s symptoms are impossible, ask for more details on how they’re doing suchandsuch because they must be leaving something out.”

That's on the charitable side. It reads to me more like "a woman's acceptance in this community is predicated on her providing sexual favours". But your interpretation still reveals an issue: men are allowed to express themselves in small (and often large) ways that are "not relevant", so why this (pervasive) attitude when women do it?
Following the PostgreSQL logical replication stream to update a local SQLite database copy is definitely a neat trick, and feels very safe to me (especially since you track the Log Sequence Number in a postgres_pos table).

The bit that surprised me was that this thing supports writes as well!

It does it by acting as a PostgreSQL proxy. You connect to that proxy with a regular PostgreSQL client, then any read queries you issue run against the local SQLite copy and any writes are forwarded on to "real" PostgreSQL.

The downside is that now your SELECT statements all need to be in the subset of SQL that is supported by both SQLite and PostgreSQL. This can be pretty limiting, mainly because PostgreSQL SQL is a much, much richer dialect than SQLite.

Should work fine for basic SELECT queries though.

I'd find this project useful even without the PostgreSQL connection/write support though.

I worked with a very high-scale feature flag system a while ago - thousands of flag checks a second. This scaled using a local memcached cache of checks on each machine, despite the check logic itself consulting a MySQL database.

I had an idea to improve that system by running a local SQLite cache of the full flag logic on every frontend machine instead. That way flag checks could use full SQL logic, but would still run incredibly fast.

The challenge would be keeping that local SQLite database copy synced with the centralized source-of-truth database. A system like SQLedge could make short work of that problem.
> If I have to consult a lawyer just to run a basic website without cookie banners, that means the law is unclear.

My whole point is that you don't need to consult a lawyer for a basic website. You need to do that if what you want to do is near the edge of the law. If you're using cookies for functional website reasons, you don't need to present a banner. That's very clear.
So what you're saying is you have no objective measure of theft occurring.

You're basing your entire position on an opinion that is very, very clearly not shared by most of reality.

As I said, there are very clear instances of "appropriation", but most occurrences I've seen aren't, in my opinion.

Example: Paolini's elves are clearly appropriation. I also hated the elves in Inheritance because of that, for what it's worth. The elves in The Elvenborn, as another example, aren't. Both instances resemble Tolkien elves visually, but one copies a large amount of cultural overtones and racial "personality", and the other's written by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey.
> The general population isn't going to care about "privacy" in the abstract,

Totally agree. It's better to frame it in terms of "Nvidia tracks every porn site you visit and what you do there" or "company x knows everything you buy online and sells it to anyone who can pay".
If I understand correctly, I am writing a review of a review of a book about the Iliad.

But we can only read so many books. If we had to choose, would we just read a translation of the original Iliad instead of a book about it? This is why we should be thankful for a physical bookshelf, it allows us to skip these steps and just pick up the book.

I don't think we need to be too concerned with the particular translation of the Iliad, I think the older the better as long as one can still properly read it. I think a certain amount of reading into the poem is required regardless.

To be more precise, this book would do all of the reading into the poem that I want to do. I want to read into it myself and draw my own conclusions! (To the extent that it's possible).

To be honest I think with hybrid, open offices make a lot of sense. Realistically you want to be able to hot desk because that's where the cost savings are made in a hybrid situation. You sort of fractional-reserve your office space. Of course it works only so long as nobody calls an in-person all hands.

The in-office days are social collaboration days so it doesn't make sense to keep people in separate boxes for them. Then people's home office setups are their cubes if they want them, which most people seem to.

Can't speak much for the science, but anecdotally, my wife started cutting out wheat from her diet and noticed a significant decrease in feeling of a general sense of "bloat".

The nicest office, by far, that I ever worked in was a four person office, and my officemates and I were generally working on almost completely unrelated things. Outside the offices was a nice lounge, quite large but extensively broken up with furniture and architecture, with lots of couches and blackboards.

> SQLedge serves reads from it's local sqlite database, and forwards writes to the upstream postgres server that it's replicating from.

I don't know, I worked in the 90s when I had a private office and it was very nice compared to the shitholes being offered now. To be sure salaries were like 25% of what they are now, but the thing I like about WFH, the ability to close the door and pace around and think, and also to start to research some topics and get a pile of articles and books, and then forget about them, and then come back in a few days with my former mental state roughly reflected in the physical arrangement of the documents, making it easier to weave things together in kicking ideas around/brainstormy kind of way, was very much present in the private office. It's not like people didn't wander around and chat and overhear what things were going on, but we had the ability to focus as needed. I think a nice office would be a good inducement.
This wasn’t true for any kind of collaborative work requiring physical presence.
I don't think that's a problem here, because the write queries aren't handled by the local SQLite databases - instead, the proxy forwards them directly to the PostgreSQL instance, so presumably the resulting changes show up in SQLite when they are replicated back down again.
Lol people get hella spoiled. Hybrid is the way to go.

"Wrong" is perhaps not the most accurate word. I most often found information to be either extremely oversimplified such as to be unhelpful, or outdated and no longer relevant for current systems. Although, yes, some things were just wrong.

There are courses and presentations and books, but there aren't many websites or articles — and that's the learning style that works best for me. Undergrad programs will teach a lot of what I covered (though certainly not all, and it really depends on the program) but I believe that knowledge should not be gatekept on going to college.

I cut gluten from my diet more than one year ago. After the first two or three months I started noticing the effects: I never felt better in my whole life, my weight went down to what a normal figure for me would be, a lot of people told me I looked less bloated and chronic pains I had diminished substantially. I’m sticking with a gluten-free diet unless I’m lost in a jungle in Italy and all I can I find to eat and save my life has gluten.
