>>Again: the problem is with people whose jobs could allow them to work from home, who want to work from home, but who are not permitted to work from home.

Then find an owner/employer who gives you what you want. However an owner/employer has the right to want their work force in the office. I guess the staff that want WFH are not a large enough body to have employers accommodate them or warrant a union. AI and an increasing skilled temp worker pool probably dilute it even further. From someone who has had both manual labor and tech jobs, I am hoping the manufacturing sector revitalizes in the US. We need real things being made and the people with the skills to make them, repair airplanes and the other stuff we depend uoon, buy or make, and a more balanced work force.
I think this must have been dependent on the school/location as I was also in an RAF section and we flew in (small) planes maybe once a term.

For maybe 30 minutes, and lots of waiting around, but was fun. Got to do a fair bit of aerobatics as well. Obviously we weren't flying solo (although there were a handful that did a course that culminated in a solo flight)

Also went gliding once.
Are you just saying that any redistricting method needs to become law?
Google parental controls are basically abandonware, they function poorly and awkwardly, and don't integrate well with other products/services such as Google Home and Google TV. I have a dense 5 page document I wrote up detailing all of this, and I have nobody to send it to.

Most of my frustrations come from the challenge of having 2 older (not toddler) kids, plus multiple Google devices (phones, tablets, Google TV's, PCs signed into Google Accounts). Google imagines parental control to be in the context of supervision, ie. this is Billy's phone and I'm going to physically hand it to him to use until he's done. And it's fundamentally device-level rather than account level, making it very cumbersome and easily circumvented -- let's say Jill has access via her account to 3 different Google TV's in the house. Family Link makes you say how much time she's allowed to spend on each TV per day. But to Jill, TV is TV, so if you leave her home alone unsupervised she'll just watch her quota on the first TV and then move on to the next.

My prevailing theories, mind you I have no evidence at all for this:

- These disparate product teams don't actually work closely together (and are probably incentivized to NOT work together)

- These are dead-end teams at Google. If you end up on one, your goal is to nominally ship something so you can go somewhere else.

- The product and engineering people who end up on the Family Link team don't actually have kids (they're too young), or if they do, they have like, one young kid.
I’ve only recently encountered airflow for the first time, and have been surprised at how half-baked it is for being damn near the industry standard (as far as open source, anyway). And it was a lot worse until recently!

Dynamic task dispatch being a relatively recent feature. The fundamental design imposing lots of structure (well, kind of—you can skip lots of it, but it takes time to figure that out) to practically no benefit (and god, is the terminology dumb, made all the more so because half the stuff it names is nearly useless). “Oh yeah the scheduler just crashes or locks up while still health-checking all the time, standard practice to so restart it frequently” posted on a hundred different issues dating from yesterday to years ago (many fixed! And yet…). It’s pretty bad at passing data between tasks (see again: lots of structure, little benefit)
I really don’t know what weird shit is going on there because all the indicators are looking great. Even in Europe the situation isn’t all that dire … even though notably Germany was much harder hit by the Ukraine war (cutting itself loose of its gas dependency on Russia afterwards) than e.g. the US.

It‘s just weird feelings based hyper cynical doom and gloom. I get that very recent inflation does feel like shit (if you actively remember paying substantially less for something just a couple months, years ago) but at some point that effect has to disappear, right? Especially given real wage growth in the US.

So, yeah, people in the US. Explain yourselves. And people in Europe, explain yourselves, too. (For Germany my hypothesis is horrid political communication by the governing parties. They are doing many of the right things and lots of great things are being implemented after years of standstill but they do not manage to communicate all of that competently.)
“Comfortable” is far too nebulous of a metric to be useful in this discussion. How do you know they don’t have 3 jobs to afford an unnecessarily large/extravagant/showoff vehicle/house/etc? How do you define unnecessary?
I thought you are going to talk about looking for iron, aluminium and copper in above mentioned game.
who says they weren't comfortable?
> It's a technical solution to social problems: polarization and intolerance. Those never work.

Except in this case, polarization itself isn't "organic", but being pushed by large organized entities; and these entities are pushing it because there's a value to be gained from polarization. Reduce ways to capture value from polarization, and you reduce the incentive to push for polarization.
Wishing slow death is indeed extremely disturbing and stupid. Politicians that way have time to do so much more harm.
In-house compiler, specifically made for the architecture that we sell, we have to maintain it but we rarely touch it. I am quite sure that it was related to System3, I know that we used to use System3 in the past. But this part I am not sure, as I am quite young and I personally never worked with it. Unfortunately it's not open-source, but it's just a standard compiler pretty much without optimization. In our case, it's the responsibility of the developer to write optimal code, since our compiler does help. I'd be curious to chat about your version of embedded Oberon, I will write to you !
They’re usually called “snore guards” or something like that. You boil them in water for five minutes and bite on them to mould them to your teeth.

I honestly resent a lot of the stuff on HN these days. It's become an echo chamber.
In Switzerland it's very common that if a hedge fund / financial company wants to hire a specific person from abroad(so he would need a permit) then they post a job ad that basically uniquely identifies that person's skillset, post it on glassdoor or jobs.ch or other, and then either get no response or filter people who think this is an actual opening.

They then go to the immigration authority and say "Look, we cannot fill this position on the local market, we need to look abroad" and then miraculously just the right candidate shows up.

Not sure how frequent it is in other countries, but if you see a ridiculous/incoherent job ad from a smaller company, it might be for a job that's already filled.
Is it him that is seeing an asymptotic expression of work as games, or you who are seeing an expression of his games as work?

In other words, what's so bad about games looking like work, or work looking like a game, if they're deep, fun and engrossing? If the job or the game is terrible, discard it: maybe the real difference is we can't always discard the job because we need to survive.

There are a few ways it could happen

1. it's imposed on them by an outside force like through a voter referendum or court order
2. the party is currently in power but thinks it might lose power soon, they could adopt this on the way out to limit the ability of the opposition to get a supermajority but in a way that will be harder for opponents to object to compared to other things they could try.
I did a lot of calculations while playing Satisfactory to optimise my production line. Getting every part of a production line tuned just right was amazing. No regrets.
I've heard people say "draw", but I always assumed they still spelled it as "drawer" and it was an accent difference. My wife says "crick", but still spells it "creek". I'm curious if this is typical for folks from the north east.
Love to see it; free speech absolutionists until it costs them money.
We have an analytic solution in the supplementary materials [1]. One of the biggest challenges to optimality proofs is how to capture the importance of geography as a constraint. I don't believe there are any papers on redistricting that include geographic constraints in analytic/formal solutions. That's why we prefer simulations for our main results.

> you need to flour the dough as you're kneading and then putting it through the KitchenAid rollers so flour gets on the counter and floor,

I found out that using semolina can almost negate the usage of additional flour on the counter, the roller and on the cut pasta (I still put some because I think it adds a little bit of texture to the dough). I have a ratio of 1 part semolina to 2 parts of regular flour, and 1 egg per 100g dry ingredients. Cleaning up afterwards is just a super quick sweep with the broom and dustpan.
> wage growth actually outpaced inflation

Other sources paint a different picture; real median personal income is flat[0] (really, within $60 a year), and real median household income is lower[1], compared to pre-pandemic.

Precisely. Particularly in the case of US businesses. Why bother picking a lock when you have both the key and permission?
> If you find writing in a given dialect of Markdown or LaTeX or Org-mode is easiest, do that.

I find Org-mode the easiest but like I said in my comment, the conversion quality is not great. Pandoc breaks a lot of stuff in Org-mode in edge cases. One example I shared in my comment was Pandoc breaking internal links.

So by selecting something I find the easiest I have burned many hours of troubleshooting figuring out why the output does not look right.

That's why I want to draw upon the wisdom of the community here to find out which input format works best and by best I mean flawlessly. No edge case issues. No rendering flaws. If I get the specific recommendations, I'll try them out for sometime and then commit myself to it instead of burning more time trialling all of the different input formats.
My wife and I rewatched it recently. She is not particularly a sci-fi geek but she really liked it - until season 3.

Some of those Season 1 episodes are some of the best TV I have seen.
This case seems to largely center around this one point: "the ISP believes that it shouldn’t have to terminate Internet access so easily. This view was supported by several telecom industry groups, who all object to disconnecting subscribers’ internet access based on copyright claims."

and they lost the case. I'm not even sure where to start!
I think this is on the money but it's more than that. It's a way to make progress incremental, which broadens the audience without punishing loyal devotees.

Think about older games where you could get stuck for hours at a time and make no progress. Many people shelve the game when that happens (even post Internet when you can just look it up!). Instead I can hop on these games and punch trees for 20 minutes and take a break. Progress was made! In more narrative heavy games it fills the space while you figure out what's next. Take BotW.

You're right about dopamine. Good gameplay design keeps the player engaged with a short but recurring gameplay loops. If the loops is too long or too short, or too frequent or infrequent, it doesn't work. Finding the balance -- especially when there are potentially many loops interacting -- is the key.

Tetris, Pac-Man, Mario, Street Fighter, Minecraft, Halo, Fortnite, Palworld -- all nail this. There's a tempo and a rhythm to the game, you experience highs and lows without bottoming out (getting bored) or overflowing (burning out).
Just wondering, how does the logistics of pricing it at a one time purchase work? Isn’t there a $99/year Apple developer program?
I don't necessarily disagree, in fact I think Your point is quite salient.
I do however think it is somewhat a pity that this sort of 'innovation strategist' is thought of as a domain for executives and directors, because those people are inherently too high up on the ladder to propagate innovations on lower, workflow-related level.
As in, such top-down innovation will just miss small, but pilled-up issues.

I think we shouldn't assume that there is no place for generalists 'low on the ladder', because with such bellieve we will implicitly ignore the proposals advocated by the 'low level' workers, who are actually the one who have to deal with the workflow obstacles every single day.
> Power at the expense of the other party, to be precise.

Power at the expense of the people, that is the most important part by far. Gerrymandering corrupts the democracy by devaluing votes, giving more power to current politicians regardless of side.

Giving power back to the people almost never happens.

On farmers:
Why aren’t farmers included in monthly jobs data? The answer may go back to early America. Highly seasonal, farming has always had a special place in our history—and our hearts.

On other exclusions:
Obtaining accurate employment numbers is complicated by:

Self-employment
Unpaid family employment
Part-time or hobby farmers
Other partnerships

And military is excluded because it's not a measure of the economy.
For me personally it's the reverse. After 15 years of writing almost exclusively with vim (or vim-like) input scheme using anything else would really break my flow. Can you even do something like ct, (delete everything between current cursor and next comma, then start insert mode) in word? Even if you could, it would be some 5-key monstrosity which makes you move from home row.

Now granted, if you're just hammering out words without any editing this doesn't matter, but I think almost every piece of good writing has had 3+ revisions.

Of course this is a personal preference, but my friends who do a lot of writing (and never used vim at all) still seem to prefer a distraction-free editor with a lot less features and a much less noisy UI for the actual writing.
Jaded gamer who wants to skip the game and go to some twitch battle or something?

You don't like the games, you're tired of them? Go play a different one.

New gamers have to start somewhere. They're not starting at expert level with all the skills. Punching trees, husbanding resources, building stuff.

Nothing wrong with it. It's not good or bad, it's just there. If it was fun and now it's not fun and the game hasn't changed, then guess what?

It's not the game.
Perhaps not, unless there is a security vulnerability in the web-view. I think it shows that there's a problem with the usage, and implementation of web-view and it's permissions.

I can see why Google wouldn't want to apply the permissions and parental contracts from the browser to the web-view, that would break a bunch of stuff and it would be hard to explain to the user that a link in the Contacts app doesn't work, because Chrome is locked down. Others would argue that is exactly what they expect to happen.

In this case I fail to see why Contacts embeds its own webview, rather than just triggering the browser to open the link. Not every app needs a web-view.
Ime, it's doom and gloom for people in tech and other white collar industries, but people in other industries (especially skilled ones) have become fairly positive.

All I know is that I am able to save less, because everything costs more especially food. I know that many of my peers who are looking for work or have been let go. I know that despite the rise in interest rates housing prices have stabilized but haven't dropped.

I agree with your premise of "don't be distracted" when writing, but for me Word often is the distraction. I use a live-preview markdown editor (e.g., Typora, MarkText) to let me get my thoughts onto paper (screen) with low friction. It's easier to just hit "#" rather than drag the mouse to the style bar and select heading. Or more importantly for me, it's so much easier to hit "$" and seamlessly go into LaTeX for math than it is to open the equation editor and start selecting all the template objects.

When it's time to collaborate, I use Pandoc to turn it into docx and then I send it around and the final formatting happens in Word because that's the easiest for everyone to work with, but the "get the ideas down" phase works best for me in a more "minimal" editor with little formatting.

I love the idea of Quarto, and if I had that when I was in grad school, it would have made my life so much easier. The workflow I see for Quarto is that you can write your paper while you're doing the experimentation because the code is embedded with your thoughts. But in that case, you're mostly slowed down by the research process so it can be a little more clunky to get the writing done because you have time and you're iterating over ideas more than words in that phase. I'd use it now for work in the R&D phase, but I know I won't have a critical mass of collaborators to make it worth while.
Can you go into more detail? How much effort is it to keep it working?
> ultimately they all open with you (possibly naked) punching trees, collecting rocks, and scrounging around to survive. This was fun and exciting in Minecraft years and years ago. Today, it just feels like busy work

In a different genre of games, I'm done buying a new Gran Turismo or similar games, start with an empty garage, do all driver license, make money and slowly buy better cars and unlock tracks and challenges.

Do it once, it's fun. Do it twice, it starts to feel like wasted time. Do it one more time and I'm like "I pay you more but give me a fully unlocked game, I have better things to do than that." And I actually found better thing to do, proof is that I don't buy any new game and I keep playing the old ones.

If you reside in the US, then Facebook can probably argue US laws apply. Over course if you go to the EU to visit family for Christmas or something (very likely) and ask Facebook to stop then, EU laws apply and they need to forget everything even though you will return.

Note that data generated only from your time in the US about your activities when in the US probably can still remain.

It absolutely boggles my mind how detached from reality the copyrights holders are. They have been unchecked for too long, I believe some fists in the teeth are VERY long overdue for them and I hope this court case delivers that to them. And then some more. Like +2500% more.

This case resembles full on dystopia and cyberpunk even -- only we don't get cool implants, only dirtier air, more oppression and cars that can get bricked remotely.

And THIS is not all over the news. THIS nobody is making a big stink about. THIS is mostly ignored.

You can get 00 durum, if reading between the lines your recommendation is actually to use durum flour not softer wheat? Indeed 00 is often sold in the UK as 'pasta flour' and is durum wheat (or at least a mix) milled to that fineness; semolina implies durum wheat but is typically coarser (even 'fine' semolina, I don't know what number grade, other than 00 we don't use it here) - maybe that's not the case in Italy and '00' is never durum but 'semolina' can be that fine?
