I’m in favor of remote work. The question was why discussion of remote work on HN is one sided. My argument was that it’s one sided because proponents of remote work are loud and borderline toxic, so people don’t bother posting in favor of the opposing view.

That’s my case, and in my estimation, the responses thus far have entirely proven it.
> Society is not going to change to revolve around shut-in people haters. You're a minority. You're not normal.

I like my coworkers and several of them are my friends but even before COVID I still spent around 90% of my time at the office working - because that was my job. I basically got to socialize during lunch and maybe had a quick chat here or there but nothing meaningful.

I get that certain roles probably allow more socialization but that hasn't been my experience working in tech. I had stuff to get gone, people expected me to deliver things in a timely manner, so I couldn't just blow off work to shoot the shit with my colleagues. Believe me, I would have enjoyed that but it wasn't fair to the company or good for my career.
There is an absolute serious flaw in this paper. See under Table 1. Their largest sample came from manufacturing. Uhm. Uh. Now time to check the rest of this garbage.
It's the never-ending complexity. Also sometimes the system just isn't documented sufficiently. You end up not knowing what a fix should be, for something related to what you're fixing, because nobody's touched that code in 20+ years.

I started setting up a piano blog once, which used lilypond to generate an image of the sheet music (then trimmed with image magic) and a midi file (rendered to wav with fluid synth and compressed to mp3). This would have been for small snippets (2-3 bars) of rock/pop/etc music, with some brief commentary. I guess I got distracted along the way. The output looked and sounded good though!

I don't think that's a legitimate criticism. Especially not for something that just launched. You should be helping your own project first, before you help others. For example, it'd be nice to see AVX2 work as well as AVX512 with gemma.cpp.

> encourages face to face socialisation which builds communities and social cohesion

Every time I've commuted to an office, I haven't been a part of the local community. I've been part of the community where I live. Working remotely I spend more time building actual social cohesion in my community.

> Society is not going to change to revolve around shut-in people haters. You're a minority. You're not normal.

Making small talk while the coffee is brewing is not a real relationship, if anything it sounds like you're the one advocating "people-hating." Maybe if you didn't spend so much time at the office you'd be able to socialize for real (you know, like a normal person).
That was definitely a gigantic influence, I agree.
Former Rectangle Pro user here. I also found out about Loop a few weeks ago as well. I love this project because it's fully free and open-source.

You’re being flagged and downvoted on your threads because you’re being unreasonable, not because of some moderator level conspiracy.

The argument you’re making is not falsifiable.

If you want to pursue this line of argument, you need to pause, think about how you can confidently and unambiguously make substantive claims; for example, substantive examples from actually using these models.

The way you’re currently arguing is not meaningful or compelling.

Interesting. A few years ago I had a bunch of music to learn fast, and was having real trouble with reading. I had a longish commute at the time and spent a big chunk of it re-transcribing the music to lilypond so I could get score and midi. The act of translating the original notes to its letter, typing it in then re-rendering and listening to the MIDI improved my sight reading massively.

> as long as you have process to dismantle the tests and move fully over to a new system, if you are indeed migrating/upgrading. leaving a legacy thing dangling and tightly coupled tests lingering for years happens easily when going from 95% to 100% can cost too much for management and stakeholders in various ways relative to other pressing needs

Characterisation tests are not supposed to be tightly coupled – they are supposed to be integration/end-to-end tests not unit tests – the point is to ensure that some business process continues to produce the same outputs given the same inputs, not that the internals of how it produces that output are unchanged. Code coverage is used as an (imperfect) measure of how complete your set of test inputs is, and as a tool to help discover new test inputs, and minimise test inputs (if two test inputs all hit the same lines/branches, maybe it is wasteful to keep both of them–although it isn't just about code coverage, e.g. extreme values such as maximums and minimums can be valuable in the test suite even if they don't actually increase coverage.)

They can take the form of unit tests if you are focusing on refactoring a specific component, and want to ensure its interactions with the rest of the application are not changed. But at some point, a larger redesign may get rid of that component entirely, at which point you can throw those unit tests away, but you'll likely keep the system-level tests

In the story the moon is suddenly ripped away from the earth. The water that is pulled towards one side of the planet due to the moon would suddenly be released instead of the gradual ebb and flow of the tides, all the tidal water would rush into other parts of the world. Then there's altering the Earth/Moon gravity system which would likely knock Earth off its regular orbit causing all kinds of calamity.

How much of this is the rise of auto application services? From the perspective of a job seeker, there is virtually no reason not to send your resume in for every remotely potentially applicable job. If a bot can auto apply, it is not worth your time to even read the job description.

For perspective, thirty years ago programming was a career for motivated dorks and weirdos and didn't interest normal people, computers were so underpowered that simply getting it to do something implied much more competence than it does today, and software industry salaries weren't insanely overinflated so there were fewer unqualified applicants. The hiring situation thirty years ago doesn't seem that relevant to today.

Ozempic is for diabetes, Wegovy is for weight management. The dosage is the difference. Not all weight management is failure of individual self-control as there are medical and genetic reasons. Also, it's not completely "free" as a magic diet pill because of the rise in thyroid neoplasms in animal models while human data doesn't replicate it, the use of it is too new to draw any conclusive conclusions.

Overall, semaglutide and metformin are leading candidates for radically improving human health for many people. If they both proof effective, they should be both made widely available and not shame or berate doctors for proscribing or patients for taking them.

The current problem is semaglutide is too damn expensive, and unfairly not covered by all insurance plans or Medicare playing favorites with medical conditions.
I'm not sure what you're going for by trying to call the examples I linked bugs. Yes...?

The issue is that you can't solve these at the code level. The kernel vuln could have been solved by a null check only because the kernel build system explicitly tells the compiler not to omit null checks as a fix for earlier exploits [0] caused by the language allowing the compiler to omit null checks.

I don't think it's reasonable to brush these off as things that only affect "serious" code. For one, someone needs to write that important code and history has repeatedly demonstrated that even the best programmers write UB occasionally. Secondly, "important code" is pretty much the biggest remaining niche for large scale C development, and C++ to a lesser extent. Very few people are using Ada/SPARK for safety critical development, for example. Compilers have also become significantly more aggressive at optimizing against UB and security significantly more important, which means this problem is far worse than it was 30 years ago.

> proponents of remote work are loud and borderline toxic

i think that's a very unfavourable way to view it.

The reason they are so "toxic" is becauses this remote work privilege is very easy to remove by those who own the company (or have power within the company).

Employees are used to be abused - after all, they are mostly a commodity and cannot really command control over the operation of a company. The bargaining power is next to zero.

The remote work happenstance is luck - and grasping it hard doesn't seem illogical when they see the risk of it being removed without their consent. Loss aversion is real.
You might try to grow it. Affiliate models can be sketchy, but that doesn't mean the model is broken. I'd be willing to put some advertising dollars into trying to grow signups if you're interested - as a programmer/marketer, I'd like to try and grow a business w/ PMF.

The advantage of affiliate marketing is a 3rd party takes the financial risk that it doesn't increase sales. The downside is you don't own your acquisition funnel. If both parties are aligned, it can work out.

As far as the US government is concerned, this primary effect of Bitcoin and other crypto is a weakening of their ability to enforce sanctions and prevent money laundering.

If Bitcoin was a government program, it probably wasn't the US government. I'd guess North Korea, Iran, Russia, etc. One of the countries heavily bothered by US-led sanctions, or at least one that doesn't already have an important ~global currency to disrupt.

Humanity has a choice about whether to help these intelligent animals reproduce more than the dumb ones. We've already taken over a great deal of the free will of every animal on the planet but especially domesticated animals.

Developing the genetics of additional intelligent beings on this planet is entirely within our capability if we want to invest lives. The advent of dogs from wolves in, iirc, about 50 years is a testament to Darwinian ideas.

Reducing our planet to a desert wasteland is also an option.

I'm a huge dog lover but it would be fantastic if we could find ways to coexist with more species in the long term as well. Given our own, still somewhat precarious existence, bringing up other species is of limited priority.

A missing tidbit that may help contextualize this post: One of the things about Go that surprised me is that if you have a slice which does not represent the full capacity of the underlying array, you can go ahead and reslice it up to that full capacity even though it's a panic to access the things you're reslicing directly: https://go.dev/play/p/oThz2bNFwgr

Consequently, the GC has to assume that anything forward of any given slice into the underlying array may become accessible in the future as there is legal Go that can access it. It's still memory safe, but it surprised me.

I had some code that was using my incorrect belief that slices could not be resliced up in size to implement some light security boundaries. Fortunately it was still legal, because the code in question simply didn't slice things larger and it's not like I was allowing arbitrary user-supplied code to run, so it was still correct in what it was doing. But I was expecting the runtime to scream if I did somehow screw it up when in fact it may not, depending on the exact capacity and what happened when.

It's also asymmetric, as far as I know; you can slice forward into the array if there is capacity, but if you've got a slice that starts after index 0 in the backing array you can't use that slice to walk back into the underlying array. That is, with

s := []int{11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
s = s[2:]

as far as I know, 11 and 12 are no longer accessible to any legal Go code (not using "unsafe") after that second line executes.

Corrections (again not involving "unsafe", it's obvious those two values are still accessible through "unsafe") welcome. I was wrong once, it's easy to believe I could be wrong again.
