There's a difference between

(is kin) -> (preferred for job)

and

(is kin) -> (insider knowledge that they're better than expected) -> (preferred for job)

Specifically,

(insider knowledge that they're better than expected) -> (preferred for job)

would make complete sense and would not be looked down upon. The source of that knowledge is problematic on a societal scale, but not on an individual level.
Since moving to the East coast, DC area. The quality of chairs on the aftermarket compared to CA is very poor.

It seems like few people / few company cares about their chair quality.
There was another technique for falling asleep mentioned on HN, possibly <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17905574>. It basically suggests to not think, either.
Awesome. Check out the existing docs for "bring your own LLM account" on the server side at https://docs.sourcegraph.com/cody/overview/enable-cody-enter..., and let us know if that suffices or if more is needed. You can also email me (email in profile) if it would help to mention customer names in private.
ALS is a configuration. Blindness is a configuration. Conventional UIs are built for a different configuration. Accesible UI usually overloads the conventional. If you start from scatch, sometimes you find something new. If you're lucky, the new thing scales to other configurations.

For example, I wrote a NLP parser for a calendar app, at Tempo.AI. It was much more efficient than the visual interface. And thus, it was accessible. But, it didn't use the accessible idiom. Instead, it was universally more efficient, whether you are blind or not.

A good example is a wheelchair accessible doorway. One method is to have a button at wheelchair height. The other method is to have the door open with an electronic eye. The first is Accessible. The second is Universal. Doesn't matter if you are in a wheelchair or not. It's a throughput multiplier.
I'm confused as to whether the author wants to cut carbon, use low-tech equipment, save energy, promote self-sufficiency or some other goal. He seems to switch randomly between them at will throughout the article to disparage the alternative to whatever he is writing about.

For example, installing your own balcony PV system is obviously not ideal from an efficiency point of view. A well run shared grid or microgrid is always going to beat it.

But maybe the unstated rules of his game mean that's not an option.
Shavasana or Corpse Pose in Yoga is exactly this. Some say it is the hardest Asana.

My sister once taught me a small trick to calm myself down when I was anxious but had no idea what I was anxious about: Count down from a random 3-digit number, subtracting 7 at each count. (e.g. 794, 787, 780, 773, ...) Do it until I drift away and lose track, unable to continue.

It works. I guess it's kind of in that "takes just enough brainpower" league. This takes more brain power than simply counting down though, and I'm not sure if this actually helps one falling asleep...

Another technique I derived from this is to do a countdown in the foreign language I was learning. Several years ago it was in English, and right now it's in Japanese. It also takes more brain power than counting down in my mother tongue, with the additional benefit of getting a little bit of practice. Killing two birds with one stone I guess :p
Any recommended open source alternative bug trackers?
I for one only do local backups of my iphone every other week to my laptop using a cable because i dont want to pay for extra icloud storage.

i also ocasionally sync some songs that way.

Im probably in the minority though.

Money can’t buy happiness :)

I have worked from home almost continuously since 2002 and have only the most basic home office. It’s the end of the utility room which I have divided off, just wide enough for my seat, too small for a ‘proper’ desk so I’ve mounted a sheet of plywood as a tabletop. It’s heaven.
The people I have worked with would not read RFCs frequently, while many were not aware of their existence despite working with technologies for which they were authoritative. Thanks for submitting the guide, it's a great starting point to forward someone. Coincidentally, the first one I've read was also the OAuth 2.0 one (used to print them out and read over the holidays!).

Which brings me to the mention in the body of the article of a new RFC format with SVG graphics, which is advertised as an improvement over an unreadable plaintext format. Call me old-fashioned, but I've always found the plaintext version the most palatable reading: strict in its uniformity, entirely self-contained and yes, printable. Hope none of that is compromised in the future!
That's a good question, and I think we haven't explored alternative solutions enough.

As for me, I'm happy to pay for Netflix, Nebula, my VPN, and other services. I still pay, but I'm disappointed in Spotify, who is pushing more and more soft ads even on supposed ad-free plans.

But a YouTube Premium subscription would be financing this ad machine and the decisions that come with it. Have you watched Shorts? No thanks.
Better chances for what? Wealthy individuals won't create "dense" city because they don't have need and understanding for it, they have their personal jets, helicopters, chauffeurs to move around, moreover people and things come to them instead of other way around. In other words the are living in a completely different world than regular people.

What this is is more like interesting endeavor, hobby project out of boredom and self entitlement to make something grandeur - regular folks would go hike around, paint plastic figurines, play sim-city on the computer - this bunch instead wants to play simcity in real life.
Meh, why not use Docker for that?
I took the time to run an Ethernet cable to my office and not rely on WiFi networks. Probably the best 30 mins I have ever spent in my work from home setup.

Also, a standing desk - but I only use it to vary the height just little bits while I sit…

If I could pry further, that doesn't seem a "straightforward" answer to me, it sounds a little pat. Both my wife and I are teachers, and have kids, and we don't have a problem "teaching other people's children" -- that's why we went into teaching.
And it's just a convenient consequence of doing the "morally right" thing, that you happen to get your content for free? And content creators be damned?
Thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to find a aftermarket one in the DC area, its been a loooong wait, a lot of garbage floating out there.
If the ads were silent banners changing the aspect ratio of the videos, I wouldn't mind them.

This is an interesting idea. It is already used to some extent in live football matches broadcast on TV. The sidelines have their ads replaced. I think your idea is a good one and deserves some testing by Google/YouTube.
A big monitor (27") is better than two monitors.
> health benefits are dubious

Are they? Certainly if you stand still for hours I'd be skeptical for that, but while you are standing at your desk you are able to do all kinds of movements that you are not while sitting. And you are also not able to slouch (which I personally do like crazy after sitting for only a few minutes).

Anecdotally I've been using a standing desk for a couple weeks. For most of this year I've been having difficult sleep due to my back several days a week, but in the last week I haven't. Just generally my back has been fine, which I haven't been able to say for a while.
Working from home since 2007, I do keep my setup very simple:

- good quality chair

- single 27" monitor with adjustable arm (to level it with my eyes)

- Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic keyboard and Logitech G603 mouse

- mouse pad with wrist rest

- audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4) and high-ish quality microphone (AKG)

- Sennheiser open headphones (HD 518 I have for ages) and KRK studio monitors

At the end the highest impact is having dedicated room with doors that close. Especially when kids are around.
No they don’t speak that way. You’re interpreting that to bolster your point, which is true.

You can’t stop/rob a robocar if they don’t exist. Of course you can already rob something else.
The main effect is that we've moved from a single average income being able to support a family to two incomes barely being able to cope.

Soon it's going to need 3-4 incomes, and maybe relationships will have to move from couples/traditional families to 'polycules' sharing a home just to pay the bills.
It's absolutely not the same cost of living.
People are different, so it is hard to make some advice that works for everybody. That being said, I totally agree with your conclusion. You do not have to lie still in order to go to sleep, or any other reason. In some sense, if you are in such a situation (being tired, needing to wake up early etc), lying still in the bed is already better than any alternative you can do, eg staying in front of a screen. Sometimes you may sleep. Sometimes you may not sleep. Ime, under this intention, it becomes easier and easier to sleep. Just do not put sleep in your mind as a goal, accept that you may not sleep or you may sleep (even better cultivate being indifferent towards either outcome) and lie still. Personally I have learnt that lying still is more important than eventually sleeping or not. It can even be enjoyable in itself.

Disclaimer: I have only had insomnia episodes that have lasted up to a month or so, so more chronic episodes can be different.
I think perhaps you synthesized the "surely must work for everyone else" part. The author claims it worked for them, and suggested others try it. That's all.
Watching ads pays for nothing, buying stuff where the price includes a fraction of the ad budget of the company pays. Even when I am blocking ads, I still buy stuff, I still contribute to ad budgets, my money still gets spend on some ad campaign and ends up in the hands of some creator or whatever. At worst I will somewhat skew the way the money gets distribute by blocking ads, but that is something I am willing to accept in order to not get distracted, annoyed and tracked.

If possible, I would happily pay a reasonable amount every month to get rid of all ads everywhere even though I would essentially be paying twice, ones with the monthly payment and I would still pay for part of the ad budget with everything I buy. But this is currently not possible anyway and getting individual subscription everywhere - if even possible - will cost you an unreasonable amount and make deal with countless subscriptions unless you are a person only using a hand full of different sites.
Chromebooks conceptually are fine, they only need to be powerful enough to run a word processor and play youtube videos and most of them pass that bar.

I don't think it's a great idea to give kids an OS and web browser that can be remotely exploited, Chrome gets patched to fix zero days as much as add new features. Firefox can work as an alternative but runs in an Android/Linux VM which impacts performance, it's a worse experience.

Software updates are free for a lot of things, as much as anything can be free. Most web browsers are free, all open source software is free. The Linux kernel that Chromebooks run upon is free. You can use a decade old Windows 7 key to activate a copy of Windows 11. It's not like Google stop getting "paid", they're a software as a service company supported by advertising.

Continuing to update Chromebooks would be a support burden, particularly if the hardware is reliant on proprietary driver blobs. But Google have a responsibility not to create a bunch of e-waste, so they should get their shit together and figure it out.

This is often a point of contention within the remote work world, but I sit firmly on the side of "don't work from home all the time". To that end, the best purchase you can make is a co-working/shared office membership.
It's really just the effort and time to understand the data structures and API considerations between the two systems. Saying something is a UNIX doesn't absolve you of the duty of knowing how the specific UNIX was implemented. Also, Linux has no UNIX heritage so relying on UNIX knowledge isn't as helpful as you might think and most of the commonalities are through things like POSIX standards which don't necessarily drive kernel internals directly. If the application relies on a specific kernel features, you might have a very complicated or impossible task ahead.

Also, OpenBSD really doesn't have a huge install base. It's a fairly niche project and the people that work on it really don't care about Linux at all. You'd have to find someone with the skills to be able to translate between the two, the time to do it, and the desire to do it. I have the skills and most of the desire but not the time otherwise I'd be working on projects like this. I've been getting pretty sick of the Linux eco-sphere for a while now so it'd be nice to have some saner production tools. Unfortunately I have to have a day job and no one at work even knows about OpenBSD.
Literally everyone who stopped smoking cigarettes (whilst continuing to live) stopped using this method.

> I don't get why people block ads on YouTube, robbing individual creators. It's not like hulu or Amazon where you are just robbing megacorp and predatorial studios.

The greatest trick Google ever pulled was getting people to rationalize their ad campaign like this. They place the independent creators in front of themselves, so that blocking ads doesn't hurt the largest advertising company on the planet, it hurts the little creator who you're personally invested in. The honest truth is that if I had my way, all advertising would be gone from the internet. Yes, I understand the repercussions of that, but I view advertising and the implications of advertising to be a huge net negative, and I have no interest in being forced to watch any.
I've worked remotely with access to varying amounts of equipment, and the only four things I find I really miss when I'm without them are:

Worldviews aren't rational. They come from information streams and are also strongly influenced by group identification. That affects everyone regardless of their viewpoint.

Arguing about these issues tends to cause people to subconsciously double-down to reinforce their views.

You could try to discuss something more specific but related. For example maybe you can both agree that cutting down all of the trees in the Amazon and using the area for cattle is not a good idea. Maybe.
digital jail evolved: from msft/apple digital jail model to open source (SDK included) google/meta/etc digital jail.

The new digital jail model is based on open source grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex software (and more and more private protocols), SDK included (c++/java syntax).

Defense: simple and modular software(SDK included, write simple and plain C, not c++)/protocols, but able to do a good enough job, stable in time. Benchmark: not 47398437829 modules, and each modules could be coded by one normal developer in a reasonable amound of time.

Ideas: to move from one module to another, proper URIs: irc[s]://|ircs:,mailto://,http[s]://,etc. We miss a really simple video/audio conf protocol, I mean REALLY simple (TCP based). Crypto-based authentication and end-to-end crypto will add a lot to do from those client programs to make it easy to use.

We can imagine a One Desktop Application handling most/all of them, optionally deferring some protocol handling to external apps (Basically, what is doing current web engines the wrong way).
Seems more just non-commercial, which is fine. Hype is more subjective. For example the gzip thing appeared to me to be hype, but it's there. And the mere existence of yet another AI list is a kind of hype.

Much better than "10 things you need to know [thread]" stuff.
Adding to your anecdotes, I bought a HM Aeron chair and cannot sit in it for extended periods due to back pain. Had to go back to a “normal” chair.
It isn't one person's experience with the UI. It is everyone's. If you don't think Slack is slow then you have forgotten what "slow" means. It is a chat program. It is incredibly simple. It is not doing anything complicated. We have gigabit internet, CPUs with multi-GHz clocks and high IPC rates, NVMe 4 SSDs that load data from disk almost instantly. It should open in milliseconds, not several seconds. That it ever takes a noticeable amount of time to do anything reveals deep flaws in Slack's engineering culture, because it shows they just don't care about performance at all.

If they had "good infra people" then their program wouldn't sit and spin for seconds, ever.
My comment is just as black/white as yours was. And yes, people are easily manipulated. That is just a fact of life.

Something about this doesn’t seem right

Norway also has Seasonal Affective Disorder. But in the USA, all of a sudden with the rise of social media we get such huge statistics:

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/us-teen-girls-considered-a...

Moreover, it isn’t necessarily the AMOUNT of social media one consumes that makes one depressed. It is other factors:

1) Body image
2) Expectations
3) New norms of behavior
4) New social norms
5) New social goals

add to that the fact that you are competing with the whole world rather than just your local town, and one can see why anxiety and depression can be increased even in those who don’t actually use social media a lot.
The 20% thing is misleading because that's just the final ding via dividend taxes on a dollar that was earned and taxed in a corporation already. When you look at total taxes paid on that earned dollar it is very similar to total taxes paid on dollars earned and taxed at the individual level. This butt hurt about taxes thing needs to die in most cases because in most cases it is not true.

I wonder if it's likely that one person or a group of people are responsible for killing all these birds. It seems very specific and intentional to me. As if someone has some problem with these eagles. If you're close enough to shoot the bird from a shotgun (with bird shot) you're close enough to be able to tell a difference between a bald eagle and a crow.

It makes no sense to me unless the person/people specifically went there to target eagles.

Do people there often have chickens outside? Perhaps it is some sort of revenge for killing chickens?
Podcasts have been a godsend for me. I can’t lay in silence, either, because then my mind just races. But with a podcast you can just close your eyes and listen. It almost takes me back to my parents reading to me.

Science / nature podcasts work really well. I avoid true crime, social issues, politics, tech, or work topics. The Ologies podcast is amazing.

There’s even a podcast called Nothing Really Happens designed to help insomniacs sleep.

Other people have said, but I want to say it again; the chair. Oh yes, the chair.

But also what goes around it; if you get that wrong, you can have the perfect chair and not benefit from it. The chair is perhaps the starting point, but it's only one part of the whole system.

If where your feet go isn't comfortable, you'll sit on the world's greatest chair wrong. If the desk you sit at places the keyboard at a position that's not good, you'll stretch or compress your arms, or maybe the chair's armrests are in the way of your elbows or forearms and you're under constant tension all day as you work.

My feet don't rest on the floor; the desk has a little platform under it about five centimetres above the floor; that's pretty good for me. The desk has a sliding horizontal keyboard plate that puts the keyboard about 5cm above my thighs. When typing, I am in a little enclosure formed by the chair and sliding keyboard-shelf, which means my elbows are literally at the side of my hips and the base of my hands rest on the very top of my thighs. I can feel that my arms are very much in a relaxed state, and the natural curl this gives my hands is almost the same shape as they are when typing.

That's a lot of text about my specifics, but it's to push my point. It's not just having a great chair, a great desk, a great footrest (if that's your thing; I like my legs slightly extended, hence the raised plate to rest them on - some people like their feet placed firm to the floor). It's the whole combined setup allowing you to tune to your own human factors and ergonomics.

A cheap chair and cheap desk that allow you to sit and work just right for yourself is far better than an expensive combination that puts you under constant tension or stretch. It's better to spend the time to find a great setup for yourself than big money on items that individually are excellent but won't combine to be just right for you.

I made a switch to the Jon Taffer Approach:

1. Figure out which personality traits work in the job and select for them in the first set of interviews
2. Then refine those candidates per skill sets as if they have the right personality sets than training can fill the skill gaps but if personality does not match the job no amount of training will change that bad fit into a good one.
