Jetbrains Gateway offers remote editing as well. It's still Beta and certainly has some rough edges, but it works ok-ish as a daily driver and is actively developed. The last update few weeks ago even added Dev Containers support (to an extend).

> VS Code has one as far as I am aware uniquely-implemented feature -- remote editing -- which is absolutely invaluable to me as a freelancer with many long-term, infrequently-updated projects.

To be that one guy, Emacs has had remote editing (without even needing to install anything on the remote server, unlike vscode) for forever with tramp mode. But other, more accessible/modern editors having it is definitely nice because it's such a handy feature
the worst part isnt even in the article. Now that companies in places like LA and NYC know productivity doesnt take a hit from remote work, and remote packages are a selling point for hiring managers, they can sunset their leases and walk away from slumlords pushing overpriced office space.

Fortune 10 and 50 companies will probably mandate everyone go back to work because theyre heavily invested in the type of real estate that could crucify them in a crash, but for the 99% of remaining employers the choice is an absolute no brainer. The small architecture firm, the payment processing company, local accountants and underwriters will all ignore the shot across the bow from elites and save a ton of cash in the process.

Its not about if but when at this point. Biden sent all the federal workers back to the office but it isnt going to be enough. Elites are going to take a bite of what could wind up being a nearly trillion dollar shit sandwich they cooked up in their own kitchen.
From the title I expected a humorous reference to the "Potential" gag poster (https://despair.com/products/potential), probably because the chances of anyone becoming an astronaut are very slim.

And yet this is a terrible plan because purposely killing people is actually terrible for the economy and any money saved will be drowned by the amount of money lost, especially since the money saved will go directly into the pockets of the people who own the privatized healthcare companies and not back into the pockets of the people.
Sure. They might be commissioning a harvard business professor to write about productivity gains of being in-office. They might lobby for some regulation to force a liability onto companies with remote workers. But what they aren't doing is getting 1000 of the richest people in the world into a room and coordinating a conspiracy to help some corner of the room not go bankrupt.
Have to say I have a lot of respect for Nightdive after finishing their System Shock remaster. It was faithful, but modernised, and none of the tension or horror was lost in the process. It remastered a 30 year old game but didn't make it unrecognisable, just gave modern gamers an old-but-new immersive sim to enjoy (which are few and far between). Lots of younger gamers get to enjoy the series with modern advancements in UX.
That's a really bad false equivalence.

It doesn't take a lot of effort to reverse engineer mechanical parts and by that time the early automobile patents long expired. It doesn't take a mechanical engineer much effort to recreate parts from patent documents. Also Ford didn't invent the automobile, Karl Benz did.

Now try and reverse engineer the black box algorithms necessary to make a self driving car. See the same efforts involved in reverse engineering other proprietary closed source products.

Now good luck getting the NHTSA to approve those to drive those on the road.
My general feeling is that no matter what platform, if you can indeed provide a solution that help professional save time, and you market it well, they will likely pay for it.

That’s just capitalism 101.

As long as your solution is cheaper than the extra amount of money it’s going to produce for the said professional, he will pay for it.

I sympathize with the desire for a utopian government-run housing arrangement like this, but I think it discards the practical for the ideal...

With less restrictive zoning, more properties and building projects become financially feasible with the banks, builders, and contractors we already have. It costs the government zero money and happens automatically with the stroke of a pen.

It's much more difficult to re-engineer our entire mode of government, taxation, and housing provision than simply removing a few legal restrictions.
In the orthodox Marxism still practiced by some Trotskyites, the factory worker is seen as a uniquely revolutionary class because of (1) the discipline that comes from factory work and (2) the factory as itself as a nexus of revolution: workers can organize there and ultimately seize control of the means of production.

A knowledge worker who works at home on cloud servers has no spatial nexus to control. All communication between workers is electronically mediated, I guess union organizers can develop a parallel infrastructure, but the workplace itself is a natural place for organizing work to take place.

What amuses me though is that until 1980 or so people thought factory work was the worst kind of work, maybe best expressed in the Ray Davies song "Working At the Factory"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0khnH1qi6M

Once the factories left, however, people realized service work or no work was a lot worse and now a new factory in your town is one of the best things a politician can take credit for.
Just because you can't grasp the benefits doesn't mean they're not there, in reality it solves all in-user config for a lot of people using it.
> And the data indicating non remote work, possibly not performed on computers is widely available

The initially reported jobs numbers each month always claim that, and then those numbers are consistently revised down over time so that jobs have been lost the whole time, and our perceptions were more accurate than the initially reported data.
Crappy clone of ChatGPT frontend, half missing, half direct copy. Implied and overly vast claims of insecurity + lack of privacy, that are narrowly true, i.e. for _Chat_GPT.

Really surprised to see this aggressive of language 1) written down 2) on Github. I'd be pretty pissed if I was OpenAI, regardless of the $10B.
I literally said "Don't fully defer to me. But maybe listen a little sometimes, as a treat."

Wearing a mask is as political an act as washing your hands with soap after you poop.

I'm not saying what the policy should be, but I am articulating what actions would both protect people and grow the economy. Some of those things are facts (filtration reduces transmission rates of aerosolized pathogens), and some of those things are morals (not giving children diabetes is a good thing, actually)

"Debate" of the facts is a waste of my time. Debate of the morals might be interesting, and I would love an actual policy debate, but I'm not holding my breath.
really I dont give a shit about either one of them, and wish they would both just go away.
Zuck Thinks ‘It’s Time to Move on’ from Fight with Musk: ‘Elon Isn't Serious’
Is this a housing issue?
protecting the young and physicall healthy had zero impact on that number. For the counter argument, you can look at excess deaths in Sweden and some red states (who probably made the right decision for the wrong reason--just do the opposite of what the progressives want).
Objectively he’s right and there’s a reason the iPhone mini was discontinued. The demand for mini phones is niche but very loud online. It isn’t economical to support a mainstream product for the handful of people who are actually willing to pay for that specific niche feature point.

Kinda like headphone ports and microSD slots on android phones. Are there models that do this? Yes! Is anyone willing to pay more for it? No! But they are very very loud online about it.

There do exist smaller android phones as well, just like a headphone port nothing is stopping you from buying one instead of complaining on the internet!

Ok, I notice the '[vouch]' button now. Also, I found info about it at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

I must have been confused as I thought you should vouch against "flagged", not to revert "dead".
> in traditional datacenters, with Infrastructure and Support teams separate from Development (anti DevOps), there are/were strong human checks and balances. If your Devs wanted to make an API Internet accessible and connect it to what they thought was a “sanitized” database, they probably had to raise a change, submit some firewall rules, maybe talk to a DBA to get credentials.

This is just romanticizing things. In every deployment - whether in it's "in cloud" or anywhere else - there is always the quick on off change that someone makes. Probabably for a valid reason, e.g. solving a production problem quickly. Chances are high that will go unnoticed, until another problem manifests (and that is hopefully not a security issue!).

I would argue that in cloud setups the chances for that to happen are actually slightly lower, because teams are incentivized to use immutable and declarative infrastructure. And that there might be an audit log in place which tells what changes have been made - although that still requires people to look at it, which again happens only in the case problems show up.
The U.S. Constitution authorizes copyright as a limited monopoly granted to authors and inventors, for a limited time, in order to promote progress in science and the useful arts. If copyright laws were still reasonable, like the original term of 14 years - renewable once for 14 more if the author is still alive - none of these 70+-year-old recordings would still be under copyright.

A system that allows lawyers to bury old works 70+ years after they were created, by authors who are long since dead, is clearly out of control.

This isn't true re: it being a sunk cost.

Real estate like that is actually (well, in the olden days) an appreciating long-term asset as well as a well-lobbied avenue for balance sheet games. Commercial real estate is subject to yearly depreciation, unlike your home. It can be somewhat arbitarily valued or devalued (see the games that Trump plays with real estate and taxes, sorry to introduce some politics), but generally real estate is tangible and appreciates long term.

Although if a company has a RECENTLY constructed office then it very much is a sunk cost, because the depreciation is on a 10 or 20 year schedule (don't remember exactly) and hasn't appreciated, and of course they haven't gotten the actual "house workers who make money for you" return. SO I agree with that. And of course all the companies don't want to see their already-depreciated by market appreciated values collapse under them. They want more sucker startups to but their appreciated properties once their business model ages.

Now, I guess we'll see how much the author's contention of a bubble/apocalypse plays out, but we'll know if office tower -> housing becomes a recurring thing. It wasn't with dilapidated malls, although it probably should have been.

As hinted at, the masters of office space are very well integrated with local politicians and the pork train. It's one of the pillars of local politics and local corruption. They'll try to find ways to get tax breaks or find a bigger sucker (like the local government!) to take on the burden or bail them out.
> The US has the worst food in the developed world.

How did you come to that conclusion? I mean are you talking about taste preferences or about the quality.

Because quality wise it seems that there is quite a bit more variability in the US than in some nicer European countries like France, Spain, Italy and some chains in Britain and other countries (EE OTH is not that great even when comparing to the US...) but in general you can find "high quality" food if you look for it.
Some people are just good at interviews or talking themselves up.

Back in university, most of the students in my Chemistry course had A-Bs (grades were published publicly). The final for the course though was set up by some national body (in the US), and all but a few in the class got no higher than a D. Why? Because the national test was reflective of what students actually learned. The typical university multiple-choice test just self-selected good test takers. I myself got in the habit of only attending certain classes once a month because I knew how to game the tests and still walk away with an A-B average (e.g. have a good idea of what will be tested, know the material well enough that you can eliminate 50% of the false answers, and then make an educated guess on the rest.)

The same is true in hiring. It can be easily gamed if you don't have a great interview process (most companies don't). Even worse, part of that is by necessity. Each candidate has a different set of experiences, but the interview is made to be as routine and consistent as possible to weed out any potential biases (e.g. candidate given purposefully hard question or colored feedback because interviewer didn't like them). To truly vet a candidate, you would need situational questions and feedback, like they quickly glossed over some part of the question, so I'm going to go off-script and drill down into this area. Big companies especially run far away from that due to risk of discrimination lawsuits.
I'd seen some of these but Zrok is new to me and looks like one of the best!!

> The private share is identified by a share token. The accessing user will use the share token, along with the zrok access command to create a local endpoint on their system, which lets them use the shared resource as if it were local to their system.

That's really awesome both in terms of function and documentation. Clear and concise about exactly what it's going to do, and exactly the functionality I was hoping to see, especially in something that also has a SaaS web portal.

Will there ever be an Android client? I always thought that what the IoT really needs is some way to just plug in your IoT thing to Ethernet, scan a code on its crappy little LCD, and have them instantly paired.

It looks like OpenZiti doesn't do P2P yet but they're thinking about it? That will definitely be a big deal, but at the moment it seems like it's already 100% ready for the use case of doing a personal site.
The problem is - when parents say "don't do something" (without giving a good excuse not to) - it has little (and often opposite) effect.
I use GMail and Android. My job makes me use MSTeams, but I would've never used it if I had a choice. I probably use random bits of code contributed by both big companies to various programs on Linux... but this is about it.

Also, the reason for me to use GMail is that I want to stick with the same email address, and migrating from GMail would've made it very painful. I use Android because the alternative is to use iPhone, which is even worse. If a free alternative becomes more realistic to use, I'll switch in a heartbeat.

I worked for Google (through acquisition), and I know people who worked for Microsoft. I'd never apply to work for Microsoft. At least based on the impression I've received from people who work there. Of course, there are plenty of businesses Microsoft owns but doesn't actually "run", and things are probably very uneven across the board. Same is true for Google.

So, when it comes to trust... It's obviously a very complicated subject. Different divisions in different organizations will have very different ability to generate trust. In my own experience, and when it comes to things that mattered to me throughout my career, I developed a strong distaste for anything branded with Microsoft's name just based on technical merits alone. Everything Microsoft was making for developers was designed to impress the rich people in the management who probably don't as much as own a computer. Since forever and to this day, Microsoft's products seem like idiotic ideas implemented by legions of slaves, who don't care about the outcome, but the complicated system of equally unmotivated slave drivers ensures the minimum acceptable quality.

Google, on the other hand, gives out a very different vibe: there are a lot of motivated and competent people working for the company, and on an odd day once every few years they get to make a decent product. And then they move on and the product dies.

Based on this completely personal and based on no thorough research feeling, I'd trust the first to make the worst but functional programs and the second to make programs of very uneven quality -- more of a gamble, but with much higher payoffs, if you win.
I don't question your intentions, it's more a general trust problem with every app with internet connection.
When I was younger and worried about how we were going to execute on some project a veteran (ex-DEC) salesperson had sold, he pulled me aside and laid some gnomic-to-a-young-engineer sales wisdom on me…

Curious if you have some sample PDFs that are problematic. I'm not doubting you, it's just that I would love to forward them on the the team at Apple that maintain Preview so they can determine what the issue is and address it.

Since CoreGraphics on MacOS has fairly rich PDF support, Preview can do some degree of PDF manipulation: reorder pages, delete pages, insert pages, rotate, crop, annotate, etc.

I had the same surgery done in the good old US of A and I only had to wait 3 months to schedule surgery in the SF Bay area. How bout that for service;) Knocking the NHS is getting really tiresome. The US with it's private insurance is already making people wait and also not providing optimal outcomes while still being overly expensive. The fact is either system can work - but we as a society have not prioritized the necessary training in volume to make these highly technical jobs available at scale.

It's been more than 3 months since I've started looking for a job.

Back in May and June, things were really bad. Layoffs everywhere, basically no open engineering positions. Late July and early August were / are much better, some recruiters even reaching me, instead of me reaching them.

Still pretty hard; about a hundred companies rejected me, of them a couple dozen after several rounds of interviews, and several after apparently successful final rounds.

I believe it’s implying the free ChatGPT collects data and this one doesn’t.
Have you gotten a job in the last year?
you can make that argument, but not sure many parents who went from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3+ would agree with you. The game changes--scarce resource allocation and sibling rivalry (which is mostly a function of the former).
All I can find is that he made a few racist remarks as a young man, although it seems like he was less racist than the average white person in America (eg was not a fan of slavery, and he wrote at length about how regardless of the color of your skin we're all alike in the ways that matter)
Thats just it, outside of the media outlets they control and federal policy, they cannot. Its largely a propaganda campaign and a thinly veiled one at that.

Biden was told by elites this was about to become a trillion dollar shit sandwich for the economy during a rocky period of high inflation and stagnation. He symbolically called all the federal workers back into offices (already owned by the government) as a show of "the right thing to do" but otherwise any company outside the fortune 50 will absolutely use this as an opportunity to tell their landlord to pound sand.

There is nothing that can be done.
Ooh, that's interesting, thank you.
> The metric for intelligence has been the ability to retain information, and show such ability by regurgitating memorized data.

That is the metric for passing tests in the 1980s maybe. Maybe some TV stereotype of intelligence is someone who can solve a Rubik's Cube fast. Jeopardy also comes to mind.

But if you are talking about actual metrics, the ones used to measure intelligence, regurgitating facts is only a small part of that (testing different aspects of memory).

> We learn about the wars, and their consequence in order to learn from the events. We do not learn about wars so that each of us can spit out meaningless numbers such as the date of the war, what route was taken, and who was fighting.

When I studied history in school it was always with the goal of understanding the underlying motivations of the actors in play. I don't think I ever had to write down the date a battle happened.

I do understand that things got worse in the US after no child left behind passed, which is unfortunate.

> The why is more important than the where.

Studying the funding sources of the US Revolutionary War was fascinating, to say the least.

(Though I'd say that oftentimes the where and the why are closely linked, especially when it comes to natural resources!)
OpenAI models are exclusively Azure only. Llama2 should have an AWS option I believe?
At least GCC and Clang can recognise most sane implementations of popcount and replace it with an instruction.
This is a common misconception.
The US system of state secrets for example is enormous, and while leaks do occur, they are negligible compared to what is kept hidden.

There are multiple tricks employable, one is to keep any single collaborator in the dark aboout most of the conspiracy. That way, any single leak is manageable.

Your conviction of believing conspiracies to be unrealistic is common and helps conspirators a lot. It disincentivises whistleblowers in particular.
"That's like having a car you have to throw away when the brake pads or tires are worn out"

No, it is not like that. Brake pads and tires wear out by design. Quality RAM should last the lifetime of the device.

Apple has been soldering the RAM since 2012 and it hasn't been an issue. Most ultralight PC laptops have been doing the same for years now as well.

SSD failures can happen, but again Apple has been doing it for 5+ years and I have not heard of any widespread issues.

I like my MacBook because it just works. And that is what Apple does really well. If you can work within their ecosystem you generally have a great experience.

I have a desktop gaming PC that I built, and yeah upgrading components can be fun, but there is almost always some weird issue with my Gaming PC because certain parts have compatibility issues/driver issues. I don't want that on my MacBook.
> It is not a strict choice between NHS’s model and the American hyper privatized healthcare.
