If you create the base page as static html plus css then there is no need for "detecting" blocked JS, because the page will display properly everywhere.

And if what shows with the JS blocked is all that is there, then there does not look to be any reason there should be any JS on this page to begin with.

You have two images, images display fine without JS. Although given their native size they need some css or width=/height= attributes to corral them into size. And a small amount of text (no need for JS to display text) and one form field and a submit button (both handled by basic html forms and posting to a CGI endpoint).
I think the relevant metric is the amount of work per people, not the agregate amount of work. If tomorrow there's twice as many people but only one more job because of AI, then sure! the agregate amount of work has increased.

I really wish they'd fix their Options screen. It's 2023 and I still can't search for the options I want to change. Instead, they're arranged in an inscrutable order, and often have confusing names.

And as someone who writes in multiple languages, changing languages in a document is a huge pain (the language "For All Text"-option never seems to work).
Eh. I can't say I've ever seen a person with an objectively ugly bald head. Since the cause is usually genetics, we aren't hardwired by society and culture to see baldness as a unattractive trait. It's common enough that if we thought of it as ugly, this very conversation would not even be possible.

A poorly kept head of fuzz, sure, make sure to shave it well, but nobody I know thinks that you're "uglier" because you are a man and have a fully shaved head.

Flip the scenario: you are offered $X to do a speaking engagement that is not speaking against your company (if anything, it is promoting your company)

Why should the company get paid for what you are doing off company time?

So long as what is being asked is neither unethical nor illegal, I see no reason to be upset of your cofounder's [possible] success as speaker. Good for him!

If it is taking away from the company for him to do it, then maybe renegotiate equity %%, salary expectations, etc - but so long as it is not, then it is functionally no different than if he were working as a tennis pro on the weekends

This. There's no way the global car fleet is switching over to electric any time soon. Globally there are around 1.2 billion cars, with 65 million or so sold each year, which puts us at 15-20 years for the fleet to be replaced if every single car sold from today were electric.

Like it or not, internal combustion cars have many advantages, a big one being that they can run on different fuels. Converting to green LPG or (my pick) methanol will have to happen if we're serious about reducing transport emissions, because it's the only immediate non-cost-prohibitive option.

I'll bang my old drum once again: There's nothing wrong with KPIs, the problem is with the organisation that introduces KPIs. Companies that are doing well and succeeding rarely bring in KPIs, because they don't need them, they already have a system that works. It does sometimes happen when some ambitious young fellow decides he wants to be a manager or be known for IMPROVING PROCESSES! But really, mostly KPIs are introduced because the business side of the organisation isn't happy with what the engineering side of the organisation produces, so they start to try and come up with ways to measure engineering's failure. It's manifestation of a struggle between two parts of the business.

Even if it winds up back in the atmosphere, it's displaced an equivalent amount of new CO2 going into the atmosphere.

Pulling enough CO2 to make a kilogram of propane and then burning that kilogram of propane for electricity is still better than burning a kilogram of freshly fracked propane.

One offsets consumption. One just adds consumption.
> Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere were as high as 4,000 ppm during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago, and as low as 180 ppm during the Quaternary glaciation of the last two million years.

So a range of 0.018% to 0.4% over the last 500 million years. We’re currently at ~420ppm, and human impact is estimated to have been about +140ppm since the 1700s where we had been at 280ppm for the ~10,000 years prior.

If the planet ever hit 0.4% again it would be due to natural not anthropogenic reasons.

Your theory, which you may find so evident to you that you won't bother saying it out loud, is that unions are bad for capitalism.

The real world during the 1900s, if anything proved the opposite. It's not that all unions by definition always are great, that could be said for anything and should be obvious. It's that treating workers as an integral part of the business, with the obligations that come with rights, wins in the marketplace every time.

All rich countries, at least in the western hemisphere, became rich because of worker's movements, not in spite of them. Other countries have been pushed into the businesses with the slimmest margins where there is no innovation.

The truth is that innovation and worker's rights won. When arguing that an ideological map is right despite real world data, at least make those arguments against the same reality as we live in, so everyone involved will have a chance to understand how the ideal system measures up against their experience.
I have similar feelings about tech job boards and politely decline any offers I get from recruiters. My job is technically interesting, but not meaningful. Pays enough to take the money issue off the table.

I would not quit tech altogether, but strive to teach/coach/mentor someone (tech or not), while working at a small shop that does not rely on venture capital. I find smaller companies more fun and I'm happy to have escaped from the golden cage of a large corporate before. Same for working at a small startup, fighting for a profitable exit.

My advice: find a nice boss and nice colleagues, be loyal and make sure you have agency over how stuff is done. And watch over your boss so she doesn't get replaced by a brain dead manager while your company grows.

This is a corollary of the phenomenon I've dubbed "spreadsheet reality". I have noticed that ever since the advent of the spreadsheet the numbers in the pivot table are more real to decision makers than what's going on outside their office door. It's just so easy to tweak a few numbers in a cell in VisiCalc or its descendents to get the results you're looking for on the bottom line. So what if that means destroying the lives of a few thousand (now former) employees?

The development of the spreadsheet was the beginning of the end.
Green hydrogen is still horrifically expensive, wind powered cargo ships are currently more valuable though not actually viable without a massive carbon tax. Batteries can provide enough power for ships electrical systems. There’s some niche fully battery powered boats which work fine for trips up to a few hundred miles.

A full EV transition would also free up quite a lot of biofuels. Not enough on its own, but still significant.
And being efficient enough and providing a service that's valued enough that both the companies doing the shipping and the people receiving the packages are willing to absorb the labor costs. If residential delivery cost a lot more/was less convenient (as it generally used to be), people would be much more inclined to just go into stores.

Disclaimer: while I was an admirer of Taos' tech from when it was new, I very rarely actually touched it myself. I played with a demo RiscPC at a show in Wembley, and that's about it.

My understanding (much of it from prior HN threads -- go back and read all the earlier discussions; someone posted links, and it's totally worth it!)

* Taos 1.x was a very basic, almost skeletal. This ran natively on some Acorn ARM kit, and via a DOS loader on x86-32, and some other CPUs.

* Taos 2.x was a much more complete OS and was renamed. Confusingly, to 2 different names; and more confusingly, with embedded formatting. >_<

Int_e_nt was on, El_a_te was the other, I think. Life is too short.

Elate was the bare-metal version. Intent ran under other OSes, but not as a guest or VM, because x86 couldn't do that yet.

(As I wrote:

https://www.theregister.com/Print/2011/07/11/a_brief_history...
)

My understanding is that Amiga wanted both, and would run one on bare metal on its own kit, but that the other, runtime version would be made available for other platforms. So, Amiga games authors could write once and run anywhere.

Amiga's own version would have an Amiga-like desktop UI which Amiga Inc. would write.

The runtime wouldn't have a UI, and would just launch apps.

It was, in its way, a good plan, and they should have pressed ahead with it.

I think QNX stole the thunder, and that never went anywhere.

Result: well, AmigaOS 4.x is slowly limping along, and there's MorphOS, which was promising, but both are tied to elderly PowerPC kit.

And there's AROS which seems to be faltering.

> Why is energy for heating seen by europeans as OK when energy for cooling is regarded as a senseless waste?

I'm not the type of person who would want everyone to cycle - chiefly because four wheels > two everywhere and everytime, but there's an argument to be made against overusing AC, namely: you're just moving heat around and producing some in the process, so the net effect is that the area around you gets extra hot.

AC is a pretty blunt tool and there are ways of keeping places cooler without it.
> If you create a financial incentive for a behavior, you're telling your employees you want to see that behavior.

And it's not just individual people modifying their behavior to game things, but more of an evolutionary process that the people who tend towards gaming things will get better bonuses, better reviews, better CVs, hence better next jobs, in perpetuity.

"Don't game it" can't be a simple solution. If there are people who game things, and they accumulate rewards for it, you will just see them out compete the nongamers. You are basically telling people to sacrifice their and their family's financial position for the sake of the corporation.

Everything can and will be gamed. But at the same time if many game it, managers will really want to see evidence of nongaming, so employees are also incentivized to signal their honesty, but this must be given some kind of channel too. If managers myopically focus on gameable metrics, then their loss. You must alwas leave a door open for receiving honesty signals through some kinds of side channels. These must always be somewhat amorphous because the moment you define them, they become gameable.

In other words, no recipe, stay alert, try to cooperate but don't be a pushover, etc.
Yes, we mostly agree. The part I disagree with is humans being obsolete. We don't manually weave cloth anymore. Which is why we can afford far more clothing than folks 100 years ago. The jobs are there. That most of the profit from that work goes to the uber wealthy is the problem.
> Agonizing about being mainline is a distraction from getting things done, IMO.

Sometimes this hinders you and your customers from getting things done. Mainly because vendor kernels are, generally, really bad. Second to none other than their userspace drivers, and I want my users to be generally running a well-supported, solid software instead of whatever ${VENDOR} ships.

> USB, ext4, SD/MMC, SPI, I2C, PWM, GPIO, backlight, framebuffer video...all pretty mature now.

That's pretty basic stuff, but SPI/I2C drivers for example have issues /all the time/. It's just nice to get the fixes from mainline and integrate easier.

Other than that, custom SoCs are much more complex than the bread and butter you mentioned: NPUs, VPUs, signal processing chips etc are all a gigantic pain in vendor kernels, simply because the code is garbage.

The title HN chose is puzzling. It's not at all the title of the article, which is far less negative about KPIs: "How to avoid KPI psychosis in your organization?". And, in fact, the article talks about how to use KPIs with common sense, and never claims they are destroying businesses.

I wonder what's the reason for this clickbait title?
Yes. The manager has failed you. Doesn't mean you should put your ass on the line to fix things for the business.

That's why these kind of incentive structures are dangerous and why things like OKRs put such heavy emphasis on regular, company wide, failure. (I.e. they punish 100success rates)
Only if you use energy from fossil fuels to do the conversion. Earth's energy isn't a zero sum game, we have plenty of decarbonized energy sources.
>You can theoretically avoid it with enough trust

I think it ultimately comes down to human values. What's important to the founders and the team? Do they have a clear articulation of those values? KPIs are useful if they're grounded in values that the organization absolutely won't compromise on; KPIs should be a means to an end, not the end themselves.

Whether those values are "we want to make the most money" or "we want to make customers happy" or "we want a sustainable lifestyle for our team," KPIs will only help you pursue them, not define or prioritize them.
