Yes. However, attention is finite, the intersection of topics any one in the group is willing to talk about is narrow, and my point is that TV shows occupy significant fraction of it - that's why they have this weird dynamic where seemingly extraneous entertainment product is treated by many as basic human right. Because in some sense, it is: it's a big component of the shared experience, which itself is the glue that holds society together.
I took a fully-remote position a month before lock-down started. Didn’t ever think it was a possibility before that position, but those positions have been out there for a long time.

It works really well when companies/departments are setup to do it that way. More people are now being clued in that it works insanely well with the right setup and the right line of work.

Even with RTO and massive lay-offs, we’re just going to see more start-ups coming around that are completely remote.

Tech-giants can keep in-office. Things will shake out over the long term.

I’m personally not opposed to being in office, but the benefits of remote are many.
When you pull crap like disabling password sharing then yeah it will be very hard to compete. And with tons of services coming out it's just better to pirate stuff than pay for multiple streaming services

"Yandex" is used everywhere AFAIK. I (in NZ) have used their search-by-image, which sometimes finds things no other image search seems to be able to.
If you'd like to experiment with bricking the head unit on your new car you can shop around and find a totaled specimen.

If all you need is a working head unit you should be able to get that for <$1000.

It's still an investment, but nowhere near $30k.

The real reason nobody bothers with this is that it's just the infotainment, and if you really want a custom one you can just buy a new head unit, or glue a tablet where the existing one resides.

You won't get access to the engage electronics, emissions controls etc. Those are all other dedicated computers.
Allowing WASM to call various Web APIs should be interesting and open up more possibilities and applications, although I can see it becoming more of a security concern as well.

The document links to a repository talking about garbage collection, but I couldn't find where they're discussing opening up to Web APIs. Any ideas anyone?
> What if everyone has mandatory RTO

if each employer manages to cartel, then yes, employees will be forced to RTO.

However, as soon as one company gives the WFH perk, they'll get the cream of the crop of employees, and therefore, out compete the remaining companies that have to hire the 2nd best.

SO in the end, workers will have choice.
I don't think it's inappropriate to provide context to people that might not be across Yandex. HN is read by a large volume of people from diverse backgrounds -- not always CS and/or startups.

I would not be surprised if some subset of those people hadn't heard of Yandex.
More people know TS (or JS, close enough) than Pkl, it can be used for more, and it's got better tooling/support. Those are understatements.
BTW, in the original article I believe the "table based" hashing Dan alludes to is some kind of BuzHash and even mentions it probably being faster.

I also just noticed that one of your intended applications is DNA sequences. For a tiny 2-bit AGTC alphabet, you could probably assign random 4..8 byte table codes for a basic size-4 table and then pre-compute the first several "powers" of that table in the same way as suggested in my big "IF" sibling comment here.

To elaborate, every possible sextuplet becomes a table with 2 * 6=2^12=4096 * 8byte entries probably fitting in a 32 KiB CPU L1 cache. Of course, if you are hashing out and then also in 6 basepairs at a time to have 6X fewer loops, then you lose "single base pair granularity" of window sizes. I.e., every window has to be a multiple of 6 basepairs. But for DNA, there may be actual end-user applications where 3 bp (1 codon) is useful and 3X fewer loops is nothing to sneeze at.

You could do the same thing with your current Rabin-Karp with an alphabet mapping table, of course. (A pair of simple arrays taking triplet numbers to/from codon numbers).

Given the sensitivity of optimizations in both approaches to alphabet size, you may profitably improve your API to include alphabet size and possibly alphabet translation tables as parameters.

It’s not remotely that simple.

If you’re relatively small and you have a significant enterprise client, they have multiple ways to make your life a misery.

Are there times I wished I’d stood my ground? Yes, absolutely. But, worst case, it would have meant sacking people, and potentially a long period of time struggling while we made that revenue back.

Then there’s the reputations damage it can cause, and (at least in my case) the potential loss of referrals, and loss of a top tier referee.

It’s a balancing act, nothing more or less.

This community's favorite thing is to complain about something that's ill defined. A post about BGP without saying it's the border gateway protocol will have its comments go off on a stupid tangent of if an HN reader should be expected to know what BGP is. (seriously people, go Google the term and don't demand everyone spoon-feed your intellectual midgetry!) Thus, an explanation that Yandex is Russian Google is to try and head off that derail. Of course, now we're having this discussion instead, so it seems like we can't win.

Even if I've heard the name Yandex before, it's a good reminder of what it is.

I read this same thing a lot on Reddit and HN. It surprising to me on HN because I would assume most people on here are making good money.

For my family here is the monthly spend with taxes for my area included:

HBO Max $ 13.53

Hulu $ 7.21

Disney+ $ 0.18 (w/ Hulu)

Paramount+ w/ Showtime $ 10.82

Apple TV+ $ 10.81

AMC+ $ 7.56

Amazon Prime $12.53

$62.64/month. Now, about 20 years ago in 2004 my parents had basic cable and they paid $60/month. An my parents combined made no where near what I make today in my salary alone. And with inflation the cost of entertainment has gone down significantly.

As for figuring out what is on what- Apple TV has made this easy.

Is piracy easier? Legality aside you need a seed box, membership to specific sites, and VPN. Which can add up to more than $30/month just to download pirated content. Not to mention the time investment in figuring out how to get the movies and tv shows to your family members on all of their devices. A budget NAS with 20 TB is going to cost $500. A small PC to transcode also $500. Also all the technical know how required. Backing up 20 TB to the Backblaze is going to cost $13/mo. So lets not pretend piracy is easier.
There are definitely some options out there already and many new companies being formed. RTO feels like a hiccup in the grand scheme of things. The cost of large office spaces and long commutes will seem silly to the next generation IMHO.

Atrocities committed by Japan in China were very much a concern in the US (and even in Germany for that matter!) already before the war, and were incontrovertibly the reason for the US foreign policy towards Japan then, and thus arguably a distant cause for Pearl Harbor.

You'd have to argue that the US had forgotten about it, and then not gotten the memo on the atrocities committed since then.
It is great that people are experimenting with other approaches, however right now the future of Linux on the desktop is running it inside a VM, at least in what regular consumers are concerned about.

get one that has aftermarket firmware support, the ones i've played with have very specific conditions for folder/file naming and structure and format. The last one I tinkered with didn't support ogg vorbis out of the box, which is a somewhat niche format admittedly -- but support for it is fairly widespread elsewhere so I just sort of took it for granted that it'd deal with it fine.

The only thing that is wrong is when UI doesn't account for these sorts of user contexts (disengaged, disinterested, distracted, disabled ...)

Chat GPT is about highlighting a breadth of experience. The world has stupid people and smart people who will be baffled by bad UI. It has people who might not have the context that we, the tech community, has around emergent tools.

Many of us live so far in the tech bubble that we forget how people who do "other things" approach technology. This is the gap that UI design should be bridging (and is doing a horrid job at these days)

What you call "mixed messages" is what I call "incompetent management" that has no clear idea what it wants.

> Being honest as long as something like this is available I don't really see what a site like netflix could offer that would convince me to pay

Most people are honest, and will do the the legal thing when faced with two equal options. If the choice is between that UI but it's illegal, and a reskin of that UI but it's £30/mo, I'd pay.

But it's not, as the other comments here said. It's a choice between that for free and a limited catalog of region restricted, ever changing, poor video quality streams spread of multiple services, and given the choice between paying 4 providers for a poor service and getting a good service from one location, people will pick the latter.

I'm personally afraid that the python community has bifurcated so far that a single 'correct' solution is doomed to fail. The needs of people writing and deploying HTTP/REST servers is just so different from the people writing PyTorch models and numerical simulations that no tool will ever satisfy the very different needs of both camps. The worst part is that many people developing these tools don't seem to realise this and blindly claim that their tool is The Tool! without having any deep insights into the needs of the other camps.

I had to click through to the original study to see the actual numbers. From the source:

> Intent to stay among average employees was 8% lower with strict RTO mandates. Among high-performing employees, their intent to stay was 16% lower with these RTO mandates, double the rate of average employees. Among millennials and women, the intent to stay was 10% and 11% lower

So the self-reported “intent to stay” ranged from 8% lower to 16% lower depending on the group.

The way they cherry picked it sure does fit nicely into the “RTO makes high performers leave” narrative, but I’m actually surprised that the “intent to stay” was only 16% lower in the most cherry-picked group they could find. That’s honestly not much, and I can see why such numbers aren’t threatening to companies who are downsizing and doing RTO at the same time.

I think the narratives that RTO is nothing more than a downsizing mechanism are overblown. The downsizing is more likely to be the window of opportunity to let employees self-select out if they don’t fit the company’s new RTO direction, but most of these companies also have layoffs around these periods.

I work remote and have for years, but even I have to admit that moving everyone to WFH during COVID all at once created a lot of really bad situations with a lot of people who couldn’t handle it. It’s frustrating for those of us who can and do handle remote well, but the mass migration to WFH without preparation or filtering for WFH ability really poisoned the well.

Dubai is a center for large conferences and Expos.

The row of High rise hotels along Sheik Zayed Road across from Dubai World Trade Center (the largest exhibition hall in Dubai) is astounding.

Gitex, Gulfood and Arab Health are all conference that are largest in their class world wide.

And while A lot of DXBs traffic is transfers, the city does see 15 million international visitors a year, putting it in the top 5 most visited cities.

They can easily accommodate Def Con.

There’s a lot to criticize Dubai for, but they literally built the city to be a center for international conferences.

Our team is global, working from home maximizes our timezone overlap, plus my company gets 2 hours out of me for free everyday because I'm not sitting on a train for that time. Those are quantifiable benefits, what is the truth that you are alluding to? If it's so compelling, please provide details.
I personally find that Spotifys offline content has worked reliably over the years. You just gotta remember that when you get a new device you have to go to library and click download and then leave Spotify open for a few hours.

Spotify is also a great example of how to beat piracy. I haven't downloaded an mp3 file since I got a Spotify Premium account in 2007. OK that's probably a slight overstatement, but it's near enough to the truth for this argument. They made it so simple and convenient to pay for access to music that I've had zero reasons to even consider piracy. They have everything (well, enough that I've never felt something was missing anyway), they have clients for everything, the pricing is reasonable, and they have great value-add in the form of playlist generation.

As for the rest, full agreement, the low bitrate of streaming services is the big one for me as I'm a film enthusiast with great gear that definitely doesn't reach its potential using any streaming services. Now that it looks like physical media is going the way of the Dodo I'm wondering where I'm gonna get actually high bitrate content from in the future.

Being part of the security industry, I'm certainly not impartial, but your view seems to be a bit naive and you seem to be generally angry at the world.

Thing is, when computers permeated society in the 90's, everything looked so simple and wondrous, few people did nefarious stuff and if so mostly for fun. Now during the 2000s computers matured in companies to a degree that they became fundamental infrastructure, and that's where complications start, as someone eventually wants to take advantage of that to make a profit without regards to the means. The Internet bringing the world closer together of course changed the playing field.

Now trust me, many companies would love to sing kumbaya and ignore the topic all together, but that's just a way of presenting oneself as a low hanging target, as many have painfully recognized. And that includes low skill and targeted attacks on all levels. That's why there is a security industry, because IT infrastructure became so fundamental to how we do business.

Now it's a part of everyday life, being a risk the same as other externalities, like market cycle, supply chain and a million other things. The main issue really is, that back in the day nobody cared all that much, so there are few people that got into this branch, and thus there is a constant shortage.

But generally, the kind of stuff like in the article is just one of many security threats both low and high skill that companies are facing and they need a sophisticated system/process to categorize and counteract them (both in terms of prevention and damage mitigation). Unless you manage to remove global inequality and the incentives to exploit affluent entities, this reality just is.

Now I know this sounds grim, but statistically we are currently way better off than just a few decades ago, much less centuries. Things get better. It's just in our human nature to bitch about it anyway. Just take a deep breather and enjoy your shipping free delivery of basically anything you could want at reasonable rates straight from the other side of the world while looking at the bleak news than in no way reflect statistical reality (like, nobody wants to hear how good things work compared to 20-50 years ago, that's boring).
