I've done both, and been on the receiving end of both, but hadn't thought of this similarity. I think it's a good analogy.
Well that's been the modus operandi of American capitalism. Boeing is a fine example. It has existed and profited largely thanks to government funds, military contracts, bailouts etc. But the profits go to the owners.

If it were actually nationalized that would be an improvement. But then there would be no need to break it up.

The Zyxel GS1900 series switches run OpenWrt well and like can do VLANs. You can an, 8, 10, or 16-port one for less than $100 on eBAY. The GS1900-10HP has 8 GigE ports with POE and 2 SFP ports and I'm seeing it on eBay for around $60 right now.
LOL yes, of course!

This is like voting for a tax increase on other people.
What you are looking for is: BPMN Sketch Miner.

It's a domain specific language for creating BPMN diagrams.
The syntax is very simple (deceitfully so).

If you read their introductory book, you will be able to create process diagrams as fast as you can type them.

I wonder if you could game the stock market like this by investing in companies committed to WFH and seeing if you could beat a control group.
Hopefully they want that title :)
Indeed, Trafigura [0] [1] are a shining example of how to do business (they dodged prosecution in Norway [2] for the same kind of waste they dumped in Africa).

Many tiling WMs have an option for gaps between the windows. Do you find them unpleasant? I love my 8px gaps. Most of the wallpaper is still covered, though.
"Simply?" Most men don't find that they can simply go and do that. Porn is the "simple" answer. And it's addictive.
> allow merging them, which QEMU does, even if just at basic block level. IIRC post-SIGSEGV state is not 100% correct in QEMU

A quick and very limited testing shows that all registers and even status flags are correct in the ucontext in the signal handler. Glancing at the source code, TCG optimizations (e.g., liveness analysis) primarily apply to temporaries, but the architectural registers are always updated. That's also why QEMU is so slow (and easy to beat in papers, which very often disregard strict correctness).

Function-level lifting to LLVM gives massive performance improvements, but sacrifices correctness w.r.t. signals (synchronous and also asynchronous, unless you add a check for pending signals to every loop, or somehow else recover the state in not-too-distant time).
Boeing spread its operations over as many states as it could some time ago so any changes made to Boeing would impact a lot of politicians, changes that leave some losers and some winners will be fiercely contested. Its clearly a situation that requires some sort of change but since the government became involved with Boeing, things have gotten worse. Maybe the decline is not associated with that change in particular but I feel very sceptical about further government involvement being a cure.

Boeing is just too integrated in too many places to interfere with. The governments of both Republican and Democratic states would need a comprehensive agreement to even consider making small moves on Boeing. Thats the issue, the biggest fight isnt with Boeing itself but the stake holders and beneficiaries. Boeing are very astute when it comes to business, they covered their bases well long before this drama started.
I think that’s probably true for companies that were forced into WFH due to the pandemic, but I’ve been working remotely for more than 14 years now and companies that are already doing it don’t have problems building alignment on larger initiatives. Worst case, there’s an in person meeting every year or so, but otherwise, if they company is already used to planning in a distributed way, it can execute larger initiatives without problems.
> Just help them.

Trivializing homelessness like this doesn't help, and I strongly disagree that "agency is nothing" to unhoused people. There are many free resources available, but the organizations providing them often don't have the capacity to efficiently allocate them to those in need, due to difficulties with reach, etc.

Escaping poverty is a function of others' generosity (luck) but also agency; you can't do it without some amount of self-belief and proactivity and exposing yourself to opportunities for aid. But it's very difficult and a lot of people give up.
Don’t forget to control for advances in technology.
No problem, go ahead. I just wanted to let you guys know how actual users are referring to those things.
The British food thing is I think less about respect or fanciness and more familiarity. American staples tend to have similar ratios of various nutrient groups, often without even as much as a substitute. American "home-style" cooking is almost identical in a lot of respects, if we ignore regional variations in both countries.

So I think its less that we think French cuisine is fancy or British food is bad, and more that we don't even really think about British food because a British Christmas dinner is basically the same as an American one (and I've got no clue what a French person would eat for Christmas dinner, so it is exotic and expensive sounding in that respect).

Of course all of this mostly applies to everyone in any anglosphere country. I don't think an Australian would be any more uncomfortable eating a home cooked American meal than an American would be eating a British one.
Does Scrum help with this WFH predicament?
I am doomed to repeat myself, but I mentioned it countless times in the past and I also mentioned it here:
Try asking it to derive something given a set of definitions and axioms from a non-widespread domain (e.g., Clifford algebra, perspective geometry).
Then you might see that it parrots what the majority of its dataset says.
It is essentially similar to Google, but you don't mix and match the search results, the LLM or the "AI" does.
If you work for a shitty organization sure. In a well functioning org, that isn't the case. Leadership/PM should help set direction, but not specifics.
Freeloaders aside, can’t employers see which companies you’re employed by with a simple background check? If employees are working multiple jobs, would that not be the fault of the employer?
> That assumes person A has figured out if person A is ready

Not sure I understand that. Did you mean it assumes that person B has figured out that person A is ready?
So much for the Brisling Sardines industry. We hardly knew ye.
That's how genuinely good managers behave, but also why there's so few generally good managers.

People do not advance in corporate America by being blame sponges for the people below them. You advance by being a nonstop self promoter and, on occasion, eating blame for your boss.
Then devalue published papers.

Don’t use them as the basis for rewards.

Don’t use them as the basis for policy

If they are nothing more than the the starting conversation of scientists then we should not put much value in them.

Let’s not play the have it both ways game where scientific papers are given deference and then when there is cheating just say li g that scientific papers are just a conversation starter.
Don't take me wrong. Podman is great and I use it instead of docker nowadays but when I started using it thinking it was just a docker replacement I got burned by UID and GID mappings, SELINUX policies, missing DNS configuration and more.

More than once I wrecked my whole setup running system migrate as a way to fix problems. It has a whole thing about security ACLs, ID mapping and labels. A chmod -R under your home folder will probably kill all your containers.

While I'm happy with the results it was far from an "it just works" solution like Docker. I imagine things probably have been improved since I started using it.
It's tricky because as noise increases, large constellations, although perhaps in theory with advanced statistical decoding (where you consider P(Symbol|Received signal)) they're advantageous, become less viable and more demanding computationally. Usually the gains are a small factor. At one point, the energy cost of computation required to make statistical decoding[1] surpasses any gains from increases in complexity.

More than that, the ratio of channel energy (or cost) requirement to computational energy can vary :) For example, if you're transmitting a message to a space probe, the energy and costs associating with message transmission are enormous, such that the decoding energy will be a lower proportion (favoring more complex decoding systems). For a computer bus transmitting signals internally at short distances, the energy cost of encoding (and even using QAM or non-binary encoding at all) and statistical decoding will probably be less than the energy gains.

https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/69482/1/IT...

From the abstract: "This implies that the average energy per decoded bit must approach infinity for any sequence of decoders that approaches capacity" (valid for the VLSI model in question, and binary channel model, but I'd guess this generalizes to any physical computational medium)[2]

It's really interesting how in the context more complex isn't always better.

[1] Usually the complexity of the whole system, in more practical terms, is determinant as well -- because engineering and maintaining complex systems is difficult

[2] More precisely: "It is shown that for any sequence of increasing-block-length decoder circuits implemented according to this model, if the probability of block error is asymptotically less than 1/2 then the energy of the computation scales at least as Ω (n√log n), and so the energy of decoding per bit must scale at least as Ω (√log n)"
That’s a great quote. I’ve always said when it works, it’s to our team members’ credit; when it doesn’t, it’s my fault. But don’t rely on just that as a gauge of a good leader. I don’t know that I’m that effective a leader, since I’m not confident I help the team be particularly productive.

SELinux has a bit of a well deserved reputation... but I, a fairly silly person, have managed to work with it

This video likely explains things far better than I can in this post:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WOKRaM-HI4

I'll probably fail with specifics, where they certainly do a better job.

So. First it's important to know SELinux runs in one of two modes:

* A targeted mode where well-known/accounted-for things are protected. For example, nginx
* A more draconian mode where *everything* is protected

People often present the first [default] mode as if it were the second.

The protection is based on policies that say 'things with this label/at this path are allowed to do XYZ'.

It's very focused on filesystem paths and what relevant applications try to do.

It's entirely manageable, but admittedly, complicated. Without practicing the words I can't express them.

Most people having trouble with SELinux are defying some convention. For example: placing application scratch data in '/etc'.

Policy management is a complicated topic.

The policy can be amended in cases where the standard doesn't apply; I won't cast judgement - sometimes it's a good idea, sometimes not.

Another way to handle this is to copy the label from one path and apply it to the one your application requires/customizes. This is less durable than leaning on the policy.

It acts as a sort of central DB... the goal is to make things such that the policy stores all of the contexts so the files/dirs can have "labels" applied for SELinux
Whether it's 1 Watt, 1000 Watts or 0.0001 Watts is utterly irrelevant. It's the activity that matters. Even at the power quoted in the article of 100 microwatts, you're still talking activities on the order of a full Curie, assuming 100% efficiency (betavoltaics are down in the 10s and 20s, realistically).
Curie-quantities of activity in a package the size of coin is real activity, not the nanobananas of tritium in the pacific the media likes to segfault over. No nuclear regulator in their right mind, in any country on Earth, would generally license, let alone exempt, a Curie-level quantity of any isotope for widespread consumer usage.
The title of the article was "A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years." I can assure you this will not be going in anybody's personal electronics. At best, it will power some board-level electronics operating in the Arctic or at the bottom of the ocean, maybe a cubesat or keep-alive circuit on a space probe. Militaries, government agencies and companies with the motivation and resources to deal with the licensing could definitely have a use case here. Your average Joe will remain stuck with smoke detectors, tritium keychains, polonium static brushes, and uranium rocks as the hottest isotopes they can (legally) get their hands on.
Right? I mean who is more likely to be shady and do crooked things? Some person or a business? Can anyone even name a single time when a company has fired someone without real cause and lied?

Plenty of great stories of nationalized industry all over.
You're very naive if you don't think his scenario is playing out all over the internet as we speak. It will blow up into a nightmare scenario for a lot of people very quickly once the tech gets better.
Are you me?!
Because in software and other knowledge industries, feedback from the ICs is an essential component in determining which projects are worth working on (and what their chance of success is, what other consequences they will have for the product, how long they'll take, how much they'll cost, etc).

This was one of my biggest lessons transitioning to management. My biggest mistakes have all been cases where a feedback loop from engineering to PM/UX/leadership was missing and I failed to set one up. Biggest successes have been projects where I set that feedback loop up early and got out of the way, so that engineering and UX had a high-bandwidth communication pathway to negotiate issues and make product compromises based on real constraints.

Unfortunately it feels like I'm swimming upstream when it comes to actual org policies here, which have forcibly reclassified me from a TLM to an Engineering Manager (so my official job duties now include assigning work, but not necessarily understanding the work I'm assigning), given me a reporting load that's too big to understand the details of each project I'm managing, made my report's performance reviews independent of how well they work with others and instead fully dependent on how much they please me, made my performance reviews largely independent of how well I support my team but very dependent on how well I please my superiors, and so on. Somebody in upper management wants people to be responsible for things and yet doesn't seem to know or care much about how to actually get results in a knowledge-based org.
Read my comment below I went to this sub shop many times ..where they know me as a customer and when I walked in I asked explicitly if they could still make me a sub.

Just noting my experiences this never happened before Covid..u work the shift you are scheduled and serve food til then. Now if the owner of the business is isn't paying them beyond their shift yet their employees are getting blamed that's not right.
A) You are ignoring the West Bank

B) Apartheid South Africa used the same excuse. That black people lived in independent bantustans who were self governing and therefor not apart of South Africa.

C) You are ignoring the fact that Israel very much controls Gaza, including every border crossing, the airspace and sea access, imposes a blockade, controls the registry, etc. Unlike apartheid South Africa, Israel does not recognize independent Palestine, let alone independent Gaza.

I’m not entirely sure if I follow, but my guess is that the comparison to a fictional character known for being aggressive is intended to (maybe playfully?) tease me.

I don’t see it as exceptionally aggressive to call people out on their bullshit. If you have the ability to humble someone being an asshat, they just may learn it’s in their best interest to chill out, which could possibly spare someone else - maybe someone else that doesn’t have the strength to stand up for themselves.
If you are a country like China that wants to prevent this from being possible how would they go about it? Can these satellites provide communication between phones without a terrestrial cell network sitting in the middle?
Show HN: C port of the (non-super) Star Trek game, incl. WASM for browser/phone
Hi HN, I've decided to port the original (non-super) Star Trek game to C since I wanted to try playing the original but wasn't able to find a lot of sources that run on modern machines. Therefore I based this port on Michael Birken's 2008 C# port. This is in contrast to the Super Star Trek game which was far more popular and has a number of sources available on the web.

I took some hamfisted measures to allow the Web Assembly version of the game to be played on mobile as well, it's not very pretty but it kind of works. You can tap into the terminal to open your phone keyboard, then the terminal should be visible in the top half while the keyboard can stay open in the lower half. The tips section on the page has some further hints.

The port itself is quite crude but I made sure that it is ANSI C89 compliant, because I wanted the game to be able to run on just about anything.

For the best effect, I recommend playing the game using the aptly named cool-retro-term.
https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.
In many companies people are working on the wrong thing most of the time. It's so endemic that many people don't even see it.

When people ask questions like "Why does it take X engineers to run twitter?", well that is the reason.

If this was already the case at your company before the WFH, then yes, WFH didn't change anything, or even maybe let your emloyees work on the wrong thing even faster.

The other thing people don't appreciate is that it's significantly harder to find good managers than good individual contributers. I believe that management is about 300% more efficient in an in-person environment. As in, I can effectively make sure that 3x the number of people are working on the correct things in an in-office environment.

I find it nearly impossible to find people with the ability to do this correctly right now, let alone somehow needing to find 3x this number.

Even if people worked at half speed at the office (which I don't really believe), that is still worthwhile.
Yup, boom supersonic indeed. I remember reading somewhere that they were also working on a ~200 capacity model
I feel like the whole dream of "free internet will bring freedom and democracy to the whole world" died a decade ago if not earlier. All of those states had completely free and unrestricted access to the internet not that far back and it didn't really lead to anything groundbreaking - introducing satellite telephony to the common market is not going to do it. And you can bet that if the service is offered in China/Russia it will be forced to go through local servers to operate legally.
There are great places to work in-person, for example, any of Musk's companies which have missions that require extreme levels of communication and dedication that can only be achieved through colocation. This makes it worthwhile.

And it's great for other people to be able to choose something more flexible, whether for family or some other desire, and be able to leverage the benefits that remote work provides.

But even in small company, it's absurd to think that there's a single answer to "which is better" for every employee.

What's more absurd is that the executive-level positions tend to be more flexible. If anyone's to benefit from in-person communication and spontaneous interactions it's those making decisions that impact those people.

As an outsider, neither employee or employer, to me the whole thing looks like an abusive relationship, particularly egregious on the employer side, but not without problematic actions from the employee side either.

And while HN is an outlier, most people work to survive, not the other way around. Imagine if the same energy that went into promoting RTO, or even WFH for that matter, went into "enabling individuals to make worthwhile contributions and feel good about what they do."

Queue the "people are lazy and can't be trusted" and "basic income is the only answer" choir.

You are right you cant just record and out out there just ANY corporate material. But you getting fired? This aint it.
I also agree with one of the parents that Villevenue’s was sterile, however the book itself is kind of sterile — as lots of SF of the era was. The world building is incredible, and Villevenue captures all that well in the sets, costumes, and such. However, characters and dialog are not a strength of that book in my opinion.

I love the book though, and I enjoyed Villevenue’s adaptation because it was exactly how I visualized the book when I first read it. However, having such a direct adaptation means you inherit the flaws as well — in this case some dryness and the pacing issue that you mentioned.
Eh. A large part of the world simply calls the USA “America” and then refers to other North and South American countries by name. It’s a known convention.
Sounds great, will be trying it out!
I saw a good comment posted elsewhere that essentially WFH/Remote/Hybrid accentuates employees existing behavior. So your top X% performers are now freed up to perform even better as they save commute time, and some in-office distraction. But your bottom Y% performers who are shirking in-office can now go hard on shirking.

As a manager it is your job to see that and behave accordingly. Punishing your entire org because you can't be bothered to PIP, and if necessary fire the bad Y% means you are a bad manager.
