It really is so outdated, this commitment where you spend 40 hours a week at your machine on the assembly line, pulling the right levers to produce products to sell. Some knowledge workers really are spending 90+ hours thinking about the various problems the company has and how to fix them. Of course some are lazy and just play politics to get ahead/avoid the axe. It's all so nebulous understanding who actually provides the value, at least when you have a 10000 foot view of the organization.
Very cool, but too bad it's cloud only. I really need a self hosted version of this

The ice would also be pretty close to the Moon's peaks of eternal light[1] where you don't have to have your solar panels spend half of every month in darkness. So basically where you'd want to live on the Moon if you had to pick somewhere.

The contempt rural people have for urban dwellers is palpable if you ever spend any substantial time with them. God forbid if you’re from California cause then you might as well be Satan’s spawn come to harvest their children for adrenochrome.
A look at the previous lunar missions [1] should give an idea. There have been 7 lander missions since 1976 (not including impactors):

- 3 by China: All success

- 1 by Japan (along with a rover from UAE): Failed

- 1 by Israel: Failed

- 1 by Russia: Failed

- 2 by India: Previous one failed. This one succeeded

I can see why the entire world would be excited by something like this. I hope that there will be routine landings by different players and that the landing guidance would be perfected.

Simplicity usually has a large tradeoff. Complexity tends to mean "we accept a greater set of responsibilities" than the simple version. You might get 66% of the power for the simple version. Which could be a great value if it means you need 50% of the staff, expenses, etc. But you have to be OK with being handicapped in exchange. You will have to say "We can't do that," or "We have to tell the customer 'no'" which will never fly on the business side, and often not engineering.

More often than not I think it boils down to this. Saying no to growth, basically. Which might even be the right choice sometimes. And sure, sometimes people just over-engineer things completely unnecessarily. But that's not why there is an enduring problem of choosing complexity over simplicity.
Practically all mobile app devs are aware of that: we use Macs because unlike Google, Apple don't provide iOS SDK for non-Mac OSes.

After some years using Mac, I kinda like it. But still prefer Linux whenever possible.

I'm not offended, and I'm not attacking you.

You made a remark about millenial home ownership that, according to data collected by the relevant agencies, doesn't appear to be correct.

I just pointed out that millenial home ownership is only a little behind the age-adjusted levels for the last 4 "generations".

I think this is important - if the data is correct, then it's essentially a myth that millenials have no access to home ownership, and there's a certain kind of psycho-social danger to this idea being believed (particularly among millenials).

It is of course possible that the data is incorrect, or misleading, and I'm interested in that possibility, because the "story" about millenials and home ownership is widespread, and perhaps we should be alert to the idea that the data is not representing reality correctly.

Then you mentioned corporate residential real estate investment, which I certainly agree is a problem, but that seems orthogonal to the basic question of whether or not millenials do or do not own housing at roughly the same level as prior generations. I wondered if you saw some specific reason to mention it. If it were true that they do not, then certainly corporate RE investment could be a part of the reason. But it appears that in broad terms, they do, and so although it would be nice to end corporate RE investment somehow, it doesn't seem to be a particularly large problem.
The definitive discovery of Moon water came from Chandrayaan-1 which carried with it a NASA-provided science instrument called the Moon Mineralogical Mapper—M3 for short—that observed how the surface absorbed infrared light. Using this data, M3 determined that previously suspected water molecules were ice inside the Moon’s polar craters [0].

However, the first direct evidence of water vapor near the Moon was obtained by the Apollo 14 in 1971 [0]. A series of bursts of water vapor ions were observed by the instrument mass spectrometer at the lunar surface near the Apollo 14 landing site.

Simplicity is a word with a lot of meanings, in OP I'm witnessing a million poor souls trading low time-to-market, immediateness for users, for maintenance over the years on a few thousands moving parts.
> …when a problem arises with some of the complexity you’ve added. Is your first instinct to add even more stuff to fix it, or is it to remove and live with the loss?

This is a double edged sword. Removing is generally dangerous and can cause things to break, while adding is generally safer… which might explain growing complexity in most software systems

I suppose engineers need to be brave and ruthless to remove code and fight growing complexity…
Yes. The big corps have a very limited time window to make RTO stick. Even more, hiring is going to be problematic for them in the near future.
That is incorrect but a common misconception (I used to believe the same). Try using it and you'll see the generated code is slower for stores on x86: https://godbolt.org/z/KrzT9bTKf

I agree with GP - the commonly given "always use sequentially consistent" advice is not really good advice. It should be "use a mutex wherever possible", but once you decide that's not performant enough, you probably often do want acq/rel or relaxed. I've actually found seq_cst to be quite rare.
But how many of those resulted in some all-out war?

Any accident that looks anomalous, a single ICBM or SLBM, isn't likely to provoke an actual war with reasonable actors. The other side's just likely to then use the threat of war to extract truly painful concessions.

The "reasonable" thing still leaves out Russia, I suppose. But I have serious doubts they could even manage a nuclear strike at this point. How many missiles would make it out of the silos, how many bombs would detonate? The outskirts of Las Vegas have suffered worse than they could manage.

That second source doesn't support what you said at all. I think you need to reread it. The conclusion I'm getting from it is that people, regardless of where they are from generally think the same about people from other areas. They assume they are able to understand other's situations but don't think others are able to understand theirs's.
If they don't already have the tax base, they have nothing to lose by trying to attract Californian and New Yorker companies who weren't already there
The workers won't have a lot of leverage in the end. Especially in tech, it has been shown that companies can do fine with much much fewer employees. Corporates can use RTO as an excuse for further belt-tightening as needed, even if most workers end up (over)working remotely. The office has truly no reason to exist anymore, but as long as capital is still concentrated in a few cities around the world, it will have leverage
> I think the plan was to create a poor labor market so they could demand RTO.

This is an extremely paranoid/conspiratorial way of thinking.

Too early to tell if white collar is going to just roll over tbh. I’m more focused on lower income earned organizing at the moment due to the increased quality of life for those folks.

It’s fairly straightforward to notify the NLRB you want to hold an election. Just drive forward the effort if you believe in not being held hostage by employers in the aggregate. Remember, those who don’t support unions are a small minority (30% in the US). I see parallels to when HN folks confidently expounded about Dropbox not being a real business as they went on their way to becoming a large enterprise. How? You ignore the talk and naysayers and instead, default to action. Why listen to people who can’t stop you? Your agency and quality of life is more important than their opinion.
This seems like wishful thinking to me. It seems to me like more companies are enforcing hybrid, starting with 1 day a week, then 2, and now many are at 3. Maybe there’s a plateau somewhere, but purely remote seems to have lost a lot of steam.
I think full time work in the office is 100% dead and buried. It's never coming back for people who have enough skills to leverage that kind of arrangement. I think the first place we need to start is there. Most of us are NEVER going back to 5 days a week in the office.

However, most of the folks complaining about return to work I've noticed are senior people who have enough skills to perform their job and don't require constant attention. What I've noticed is these kinds of workers absolutely thrive remotely, however younger employees greatly benefit from in person learning and mentoring.

I've personally worked with many junior engineers over the years and it's really hard to mentor someone over a computer screen. It's definitely possible, but being able sit down informally and talk about something that's hard to understand, or unclear is much harder remotely.

I haven't figured out a virtual way to give an intern a small assignment and determine if they're struggling remotely (yet) short of doing peer programming. If I ask an intern to fix a bug that's 2 lines of code and I hear furious typing over the walls for extended periods of time, that's probably a good time to ask how it's going and offer some help.

I don't have the answers here but I don't think it's fair to be so dismissive of face to face time in the office.
That's an example of failing to follow the "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" rule of thumb.
Let's imagine stomach cancer was caused by the 'mega burger' sold by walmart. 6 months after eating said mega burger, you are 100% guaranteed a diagnosis of stomach cancer.

If that were the case, AI would really struggle to predict this 3 years ahead. The AI has to make a decent prediction of who will shop at walmart, who will buy the mega burger, and when they will eat it.

So, the fact AI can make a decent prediction 3 years out suggests that if there is a 'trigger event' that causes some/all stomach cancers, that the trigger event is either very predictable, or happens more than 3 years before diagnosis.
;)

Though they made sure to tell us the music we listened to sucked! We weren't into all that Vietnam protest music the Boomers thought was great. No. We were the generation the anti-war Boomers sent to war after they'd seized the reins of power. Funny anecdote, I worked with a lady who's husband was all in for the Gulf War. She was like wait, you were protesting Vietnam - so you're for war when it's someone else going and against war when you're the one being sent? She divorced him! I always thought that was funny.
Humidity is one difference that comes to mind.

In most of Texas, the air outside is humid, you need a moisture barrier between your structural wall and your rainscreen/siding.

In Calgary, cold winters will have very dry air, so the humidity will be much higher inside the house. So the moisture barrier needs to be on the other side.

In either case, you don't want the insulation layer or the structural layer to be collecting condensation from the humidity / temperature differential, or you will get mold.

Disclaimer: not a builder, just deal with humid climate.
I might agree with your policy aims, but the policy cure you proposed would be worse than the disease.

If you don't like people driving, then tax that directly.

Or better, for a start, remove subsidies for driving first, whether they be explicit or implicit. Only then think about levying special taxes. Eg remove mandatory minimum parking requirements for real estate developers, convert most roads to be paid for by their users via electronic tolls instead of by general taxes, etc. (And remove 'commuting allowances' that one can claim as a deduction on income taxes.)

And if you still want to levy taxes, levy them on what you don't like, and not some imprecise proxy like office space. Eg directly on emissions or negative health externalities.
I deeply regret the courses I barely passed. And the courses for which I had prior knowledge to pass comfortably but not engage on the nuances.
It's also a major source of income from taxes on things like fuel.
No pricing on website. Capterra says 249E per month and not avail in my country (Canada). Looks like a great product, hobbled by lack of affordable pricing and hidden price on website.
> If you aren’t familiar, look up Tsar Bomba on youtube and witness how terrifyingly destructive a 50 megaton warhead is

Tsar Bomba was a one-off experiment – and one designed for some level of psychological intimidation that you appear to have fallen for. No nuclear-armed country today maintains 50-megaton warheads for actual use against an adversary. Instead, planning involves use of a larger number of smaller warheads, and that is already enough to be worried about.

I've been slowly building up a fresh emacs config and feel like I'm getting close to it being able to be my daily driver. I found Mastering Emacs to be a very useful resource though not a perfect fit for me for a couple
of reasons:

1. Like you, I am coming from vim (or using vim bindings in any editor I use). evil-mode is great but the book is focused on vanilla emacs movements and text manipulation and so there's good chunk of the book devoted to that which wasn't applicable to me.
2. This is more of a nit, but I do get a general tone that the book sees having to use elisp as a kind of drawback. Maybe I'm reading too much into that, and it is certainly still the case that you will have to do a lot of configuration to get a setup that works for you. But for me my interest in lisp is part of what makes me interested in emacs so I wish it didn't shy away from it as much.

That said I still found it overall worthwhile for understanding the building blocks and terminology. Also now is a great time to play around with a fresh emacs install. The 29 release has a bunch of goodies that make it easier to build towards and IDE-like experience with many out-of-the box pieces. It comes with a language server (LSP) client, native tree-sitter integration, and a nice declarative package management system that doesn't require any third-party deps (though you can swap the underlying engine to a third-party one if you need the extra features)

The average user doesn't even use an adblocker, so they won't need to worry about Google blocking their account for suspected clickfraud or whatever.

Not your intended audience (have never built a business before), but here's wher I would spend some quality time on in terms of finding product-market fit: Market so unbelievably aggressively to the youtuber creator community.

Mr. Beast, for instance, had realized that so much of the world cannot access his content due to a language barrier, so he has started foreign language channels with dubbed version of his videos, which, unsurprisingly, also get millions and millions of views.

If your product is as robust as it seems like it is, with no effort, you could open the world to every content creator out there. That seems like a significant value add. Sure, you'll have to work out pricing and pin down product specific, but if there's one class of individuals I'd be aggressively trying to sell this to, it'd be folks like that. Heck, even the people with those no-face, listicle or voice-only content channels might be a great fit. Simple, easy videos that should ideally work well with your platform... and you can instantly help grow their audience!

Also, I have a relative who has grown a SASS from nothing to hundreds of millions in ARR. I can assure you that you all are no less competent than him from a business perspective. At many points in his trajectory his story would exactly mirror yours (complete, full, polished product, crickets of paying users), until they found the right market for whom their solution was a game-changer. So, believe in yourselves, too, and dont think that it hasn't happened simply because you don't have the skill: it just may be you haven't quite pounded the pavement for long enough yet. Good luck!
I think you vastly overestimate how much old politicians care about sending other people to die.
As many posters are suggesting: Wirecutter is still valid as a comparative source when researching a product, but it's original utility was that it could previously stand alone and accelerate the buying choice. At least some small comfort is they still exist, unlike DPReview which was

# What is the maximum amount I can pay in cash?

At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. For cash purchases above € 10,000, the seller must conduct a customer due diligence. But not all sellers accept cash. The cabinet is working on a bill to ban cash payments from € 3,000.

## Pay for purchases in cash

At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. It doesn't matter how high the amount is. A seller can decide not to accept cash above a certain amount. Or at all [no cash to be accepted](https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/geldzaken/vraag-en-...).

## Customer research for purchases above € 10,000

Do you make a purchase that costs more than € 10,000 and do you pay in cash? Then the seller must conduct a [client investigation](https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/financiele-sector/a...). This check is mandatory to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

## Bill on cash payments up to € 3,000

There is a [legislative proposal in the making to prohibit cash payments from € 3,000](https://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerstukken/wetsvoorstellen/deta...). This applies to all buyers and sellers of goods. When the new law comes into effect, you may no longer pay for purchases from € 3,000 in cash.
I'll admit I didn't look into it, but Helix sounds like something like LunarVim (https://www.lunarvim.org/)

Personally I much prefer that the editor NOT ship with something like that by default, especially when it's so easy to set up. I have several different vim config I use, including a pretty bare-bones one for headless systems, and I much prefer the ability to customize something very specifically.

Build tools that can compose together, rather than a single do-it-all tool. That is the power of the low level editors vs IDE's.
Having the wrong limits will cause the wrong thing to die, regardless of whether they kick in during OOM or orchestration. Better to find out during your planned rollout window if you ask me.

No unions necessary, just move your job if you don't like it (or don't take one in the first place that you don't like). In a strong labour market that's a sufficient threat.

And in a weak labour market, even a union can't rescue you.
You own the hardware. You license the software. That relationship is pretty clear.

They are unhappy for sure, and are all copying each other because they are afraid of making the wrong move. They looked at what Musk did with Twitter with great interest I'm sure, looking for lessons for example to carry over, as one of the few leaders willing to stick his neck out. I don't believe there's major orchestration but it is true when everyone's on each other boards an incestuous common sense/wisdom tends to emerge about what needs to happen and what the justification will be, and I'm sure they all believe it's inevitable all the companies move back towards full time on site.
