Ok, I'll bite the bullet: how do you train interns and/or junior employees in a fully remote environment?

I only have two years of experience so I'm still super new, but it's something I'm confronted with this, and I just don't know how to train people in a fully remote environment. It's from little things to catching an intern who doesn't know a couple extremely handy shortcuts with tools that they are still learning, to just generally noticing that they're struggling and stepping in to give them a hint / engage in a discussion, I just love the kind of "hands-on" aspect that you get from working in a non-remote environment. I want to ask my intern (my team is pretty small so we just take one intern at a time), to come 3 days a week at least just to be able to go through training with them like that, I recognise that people don't like it but I don't know how to do otherwise. I also can't help but feel like it helps to integrate the new team member in the team better, whereas a fully remote employee may end up being left out when part of of the team do see each other in office once or twice a week.
But the prospect of either having a 2h long zoom call to see them act in a step by step manner, or to give them tasks and leave them by themselves until like 3h later to check in and see "ok, so, what'd you do? Oh, you got stuck on some dumb problem for 1h?" Feels shitty too. And I can totally understand interns that don't dare ask questions on slack for fear of bothering people in case they ask too many. Being able to just turn your head and ask someone next to you or a couple desks down is just so much easier.

I don't mind people being remote once they've gained a sense of independence, but I feel like I just can't do the first 2-4 months with an intern fully remote.

How do you guys do it?
> In any field there occasionally seem to be these ideas that emerge fully formed with a hallelujah chorus. These days it’s usually accompanied by a book, a book tour, and a TED talk.

Meh. The flipped classroom was one of those ideas, and it seems to work just fine.
Yeah, but don’t get yourself in trouble and be a renegade either.

I do not agree that engineers should avoid technical talks with managers. They should just always be prepared to break it down and provide examples. Look people in the eye, empathize with their sentiments, don’t be an asshole if you can help it, in my humble opinion.
I agree on the digital stuff. I really don't like that kids are primarily using Chrome books and stuff as their primary mode of learning. Maybe that would be fine in high school, but I feel that elementary and middle schools should be taught with physical media.

I'm touring schools in my area now (k-8) to figure out where we want to send our kids. One school says the kids get hybrid instruction, but every single class we walked past except an art class had the kids working on their device. Hybrid my ass. It's easier to teach and grade using the tech, so that's what they're going to use. I question how durable that type of learning is vs things like handwriting notes (shown to increase retention).

Copyright also applies on media that is not for entertainment or "consumption". Where would the money come from to pay for important news reporting, for example? There are a lot of people in this world who are not hackers and have other needs.
People who drive drunk and regain their privileges do so with restrictions that are meant to protect the people around them. The breathalyzer interlock is made to ensure that this person cannot endanger other people.

I think it’s extremely problematic to compare piracy to drunk driving, and to model a punishment for piracy on the punishment for drunk driving for the reasons stated above.
I don’t think just being evidence based is going to cut it. Yada yada yada, replication crisis in psychology (and every other science, including physics.) There was a time when evidence based teaching included “Power Poses.”
>There is zero difference between a digital and physical item if you are the producer

There's absolutely a difference. If you produce a physical good, and somebody takes it, you no longer have it. If you produce a digital good and somebody copies it, you still have the original, you're still free to use and enjoy it as you see fit.

Fundamentally property rights are a negative right: you have the right not to have your stuff taken. Negative rights don't conflict with eachother, that's why they make a good basis for society. Intellectual property is a positive right: you have the right to control how other people use their property, which conflicts with people's right to use their property as they see fit.
Finally we would get to solve the eternal mystery of why six was afraid of seven.

>I would also hazard that any job easily done remotely is also ripe for takeover by AI. If your job requires no in-person contact, it might not require a person full stop.

Thats... honestly a bullshit that makes me think that you havent worked in cross-geo projects.

Why would in-person contact be needed if almost all stakeholders for my project are across US/EU/China/India?

You think remote projects are somehow easier or more trivial?

I'd want to remind you that there are countless complex OSS projects that are pushed ahead by remote teams.
It makes no sense to me that they had the idea that reading will just naturally arise like speech. Like, how did they come up with that?

We have ample evidence that human infants spontaneously generate language. If you're unlucky enough to be born profoundly deaf in a country without an existing programme of sign language for deaf infants, you'll sign anyway, just there isn't anybody to provide a vast menu of existing signs and a grammar for them, and those you're communicating with wouldn't know it if there was. So your signs will be primitive and you'll struggle unless/until introduced to a full sign language. [Sign languages are languages, they're not just spoken language somehow transliterated into signs - so e.g Mexican Sign Language is a thing even though in Mexico the spoken language is Spanish]

Writing seems to have arisen independently only very rarely. Some tiny fraction of humans will spontaneously invent written language, and a larger but still small fraction will spontaneously acquire this technology if exposed to the writing. Everybody else must be taught if you want a literate society.

I can imagine that functional literacy would be aided by school programmes which encourage it, but the core technology of converting between words you say (or sign) and symbols in the world makes no sense as something you just hope they'll absorb from their surroundings without teaching.
This is incorrect, apps installed through the macOS App Store have required sandboxing since 2012. Since 2018, Microsoft is also attempting to get developers to sandbox more apps, see more about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36059982

The biggest cost savings from remote work comes from lower talent cost (read: 20-50% lower salaries) because instead of hiring exclusively in a few cities, you can now stop hiring in expensive cities and hire everywhere else.
Which sensodyne and which country is it from? Their product lines seems intentionally opaque.
Love those ligatures!
That has caused a very competitive job market, their HR doesn't even give the courtesy of a canned denial e-mail after applying for jobs.
But only one of those needs to be taught directly, and that's phonics. Sight reading can be left to emerge later on as the amount of reading increases. English is not Mandarin Chinese, we don't need to guess the meaning of words from what they look like, we can mostly read out how they sound.
Tell them all the juniors are using it and it’s causing widespread security breaches and could cost the company money (it’s half true at least).

If they don’t care about money when you talk about it, well, then that may signal something deeper.
What do you mean by 'was supplemental for us'?

I suspect the gulf between your experiences and what others have been writing about is that for others, the critiqued curriculum wasn't supplemental, but was the only source for learning to read in school.
>> Have you hired any contractors outside the US lately?

Yup. For a great many people in this world, contractors in the US are often the competitor cheap labor market.
Note: It can take several decades for the damage to accumulate, even for completely absurd diets. It is very difficult to observe results from changes to lifestyle or routine and correctly attribute them.

Take these anecdotes with a grain of salt.
> Surely a recursive recipe is just a recipe that invokes a recipe.

No, a recursive recipe is one that (directly or indirectly) invokes _itself_. That's the whole point of recursion (literally, come back (=re) turning (=cur)).

Wikipedia has a short, focused section on the 57mm-cannon Mosquito variant, starting 3 paragraphs down here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Mosquito#Strike_(...

The canon was an anti-tank gun ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_6_pounder ), the primary intended target was U-boats, and they added quite a bit of armor (to help with AA fire from uncooperative U-boats).

It doesn't sound like the cannon-armed Mosquito was (at the time) seen as successful. OTOH, I'd guess that the Allies having both good radar, and ~350MPH clouds of cannon-armed Mosquitos, would have imposed some pretty miserable operational limitations on the Germans.
While none of us live in a bubble, I dislike the concept that alludes to non-original thought as the basis of ideas.

He could have merely looked around, thought to the future, and derived ideas... independently, from his own thoughts on the matter.
If you look up academic studies on flossing they nearly all say the same thing, it doesn’t prevent cavities more than brushing and the studies normally end with “well flossing isn’t hurting anything so might as well keep doing it”.

Flossing only helps with gingivitis in which case mouth rinses perform better.

In the studies that do show flossing helps against cavities they are about professional flossing and not self flossing.

So dentists continue to push unfounded claims regarding flossing.
> If I don't think a product in the shop is reasonably priced, I don't have the right just to take it

We need to collectively stop using these kinds of physical goods analogies in discussions about piracy. To claim that there is no difference is a fundamental miscalculation.

To be clear, I do not condone piracy. I purchase the content that I view. But these kinds of fallacious analogies are misleading and dangerous to Internet freedom.
Not yet. I'm wondering how is the best way to present it without avoiding people to be tempted to skip the daily mystery.

> As further evidence, Meta recently publicly released a coding model called Code Llama. While Llama 2 and Llama 2-Chat models do not perform well on coding benchmarks, Code Llama performs quite well, and it is likely that it could be used to accelerate hacking abilities, especially if further fine-tuned for that purpose.

Sounds like we should restrict Python. Maybe even assembly.
i can second that
In the good old American tradition it is never the company which makes the lobby but a non profit or an NGO generously sponsored by the company directly or indirectly (former or future employees).

After reading your first link I'm having a very hard time understanding how it's a "new version incompatible with either Python 2.7 or Python 3" or how you can think "they created an alternative language that was completely different" is true in any sense.

> Python 2.8 is a backwards-compatible Python interpreter that runs Python 2 code and C-extensions exactly as-is, while also allowing Python 2 programmers to use the most exciting new language features from Python 3.

Really sounds like Python 2.8 to me!

A Genius for Introspection (1994)
It's not about what I think; it's a fact that there's an abundance of creative media produced by people not getting paid for it.
Where does this idea that YouTube couldn't exist without ads? Not with it's current architecture, sure, but do people really lack the imagination to see a web with videos that aren't served by a monopoly? Peer-to-peer sharing has been around for a very long time and works very well. You can share large content right now with essentially no extra cost (you already pay for bandwidth, you already have storage etc).

The trouble is finding said content. There is a huge conflict of interest due to the most popular search engine also owning the most popular centralised content platform. This should never have been allowed to happen, but here we are.
"I deserve automatic compensation (rent) for 100+ years for any one who consumes this media just because I recorded any bit of audio, put one mark on a paper, or created 1 frame of a motion picture."
Disappointing to see this level of discourse on HN. Flagged.
Why are you assuming he's a patent troll? Because the headline says so? :)
you just reacted to keywords with preprocessed refutal to a person claiming he had to put in effort to get out of precisely that behaviour. maybe you could use some introspection, self reflection and reading ?
I don’t find this engaging as a murder mystery. Firstly, the player doesn’t have agency other than revealing other clues. I think it would be more entertaining if the player could choose what questions to ask.

Also, the 15-minute time blocks don’t make sense to me. From today’s mystery:

> Clue #1 Eddie said "I saw nobody when I was leaving the bathroom at 10:45"

> Clue #2 Eddie said "I saw Bob when I arrived to the living room at 11:00"

I would immediately ask him why it took him 15 minutes to go from the bathroom to the neighboring living room. Are they in an electric wheelchair that’s almost out of power, or did they in-between commit the murder?

Also, the suspension of disbelief isn’t there for me:

- looking at the victim, how hard is it to choose between poison, rope, gun, and knife, especially given that it can be deduced that the body wasn’t moved?

- if they don’t dare lie, why not just ask them “did you do it?”. A murderer that can lie would IMO make things more interesting.

Minor items that affect play:

- the player has to open all clues up to the murder weapon is revealed. Once you know that, opening those each day will become a chore.

- in today’s puzzle, when I make an incorrect accusation that includes “Carol”, the text says “After apprehending the suspect”. Isn’t she dead?
8-bit CPUs typically have a 16-bit address space though.
Clearly this person thinks people base their moral opinions solely on what would make them more money. "It's impossible to get a man to understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it."
UBI would transform society. No longer would we push to protect income streams that we all know are a bit messed up but hey a man's gotta eat. End this vast circus of crumb-snatching.
Except that that thing you memorized gets transferred across the wire as part of the authentication process, leading to all sorts of places where it could be intercepted. Passkeys don’t leave the device, outside of backups and synchronization. Thats a way lower attack surface.
Yup, the infotainment system in 2016+ Fords runs QNX.
Really? From Custom metrics, or logs? It's pretty rare that I hear anyone use it in production, there's usually either a SaaS like Datadog/New Relic or a homegrown setup with e.g. Prometheus.
This debate predates facebook by a while. Napster came out 5 years prior, and that's when I remember the biggest push from media companies, but there were efforts even before this to limit the free exchange of information.
The police ones aren’t actually unions. In most countries they aren’t even called that.

That’s a great reason not to use those services.
Here's how that Twitter link describes you and your competitors vs. Kprofiles:

> A few other people have noticed the quiet success of Kprofiles and have already attempted to copy them.

> Some have better content, site structure, and formatting than Kprofiles.

> But they just compete with Kprofile's massive backlink profile.

So did Kprofiles (a somewhat purple website) come before you (Kpopping) or are you talking about competing for second place with Hallyu Idol (a very purple website)?
It would be nice if they made a video demoing how to use this.

I like the idea but don't really get how this particular extension is used. When you save sessions is there a way to modify them later? or is it assumed you'll delete them and save again each time you change them?
Intellectual property is a response exactly to the difference in the marginal cost because it recognises the threat to the value creating producer. Just because you don't tangibly see the cost of the IP, that doesn't mean it was free to produce.

You can absolutely argue that IP law is cynically applied, but in principle it protects high capital and low operating expense businesses from those who would like to do the low operating expense part without bothering about the high capital part.
And a common thread is that they originate traffic from sleazy IPs: having a service like Cloudflare block those will protect against ton of internet background noise with very little downside for most businesses, so it’s unsurprising that so many sites do so.
I visited the site, clicked the first article I found interesting, and it sent me to YouTube. HN never seems to send me to YouTube which is a plus.
I already use Sensodyne protect and repair (stannous fluoride and potassium something, not Novamin) and while it does certainly help I just want a permanent fix because the sensitivity has gotten really, really tiresome.

Governments and private individuals already produce plenty of news without relying on income from copyright. The BBC is publicly funded.
This is absolutely fantastic. I am Italian, worked abroad for ~15 years in English speaking countries and companies, and I've always been frustrated by my inability to convey some of the greatest poems of Italian literature to my English-speaking friends.

This project of yours is brilliant.

Small pieces of feedback I have:

- allow for a quicker way to change playback speed - instead of clicking the "points", and then "playback speed", and then change the speed, make 3-4 instant buttons available (0,5x, 0,75x, 1x, 1,5x).

- if there's a youtube video of the specific poem being narrated by people like Gassman, Proietti, etc, a video added at the bottom of the page might be great. e.g. Gassman legge Pavese: "Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi" [0]

But now we're getting into a much more nuanced argument about the shape of society. If I, as a lone actor, hook my tape deck into the output of my radio and "steal" the newest Britney Spears track have I normalized the act of piracy?

If everyone is doing it then it does seem pretty normalized, but if everyone is doing it then your presumption as to society's values seems flawed.

In reality these media producers seem to be making healthy profits so perhaps internet piracy is not as normalized as you think.
There is an American meme that believes that not eating often and regularly is unhealthy. It’s untrue. Study after study shows that fasting is good for us.
"Replace conservative with evidence based."

I think it doesn't matter what it's called. Most of the fads do have evidence. It's just that it might not be measured in the right way, or ignoring other effects.

As an example, the balanced reading approach has evidence that it does work. However, the practical implementation of this approach has numerous interpretations. It's supposed to include balanced meaning between meaning and phonics. It's not supposed to be putting kids in the position of independent reading prior to being able to read. That's just a shitty school, lesson plan, or teacher. Its also supposed to include 1-on-1 reading instruction. I wonder how many kids are getting that at school with the instructor to kid ratio...

Now, maybe the systemic phonics approach will work better, but that's possibly due to the key resources (essentially lesson plans and materials) that the school is using. If it doesn't include forcing kids who don't know how to read to read independently, then any implementation would be an improvement over that, including if it was still an alternate implementation of the same system.
I loathe that piracy needs to exist. But it's a natural response to greedy media industries. People pirate material that copyright holders refuse to release/rerelease, they steal when popular media gets silo'd behind yet another wildly overvalued streaming service, they pirate so media can reach places corporations deem unvaluable to do so themselves, etc.

Piracy was naturally on a decline as streaming seemed to be settling on Netflix + a couple premium/niche providers, in much the way that mainstream music piracy is largely dead today. Now, it's on the rise again as people are tired of being nickel and dimed by Peacock, AMC, Max, Disney+, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, ESPN+, Fubu, CBS All-Access, etc.

I booted this on my 486 back in the day. That machine had a combo soundcard/modem which gave me fits when I upgraded to a 33.6 later on (Plug and Play, haha. At least I learned how to deal with IRQ conflicts). QNX booted and recognized everything and it just worked, and so fast.

Also keep in mind that at this time, getting Linux working was a crapshoot, I had already attempted and failed to get it running on the same machine, making the QNX disk seem even more amazing.
I don't know, to me this seems indistinguishable from that (very recent) submission and didn't actually address the bulk of the HN comments. Why submit it again?
