When "plant-based" is used as a euphemism for "vegan," I find that annoying and borderline dishonest.

We all eat plants. Even lots of plants. But most of us are not vegan.

So if these people are vegan and pushing a vegan agenda ... I wish they'd make it more clear than "plant based."

Incidentally, kimchi is easy to make, delicious, and healthy. AND most kimchi recipes are not vegan - they include one or two fishy ingredients.
I guess my thing is that I don’t want to jump through hoops, I want to write code. You know how some people are enamored of those little ‘shit tests’ for relationships, they think they’re really clever? I have no patience for that.

Show me who you are and I’ll show you who I am, and if we like eachother, then let’s try to get together and see what we could build together. if the entire interview process is a series of hoops that you dictate I jump through to even have a chance with you, then why should I expect my future with you to be any different? I don’t want that.

I don’t want to write a carefully crafted letter pretending that I want anything other than respect and money and a chance to do work on interesting from a potential employer. I just want to write code. The rest of it is extensive shit testing in my book and I have no patience for that. I don’t put up with that kind of treatment from anyone else - what makes you think dangling money in front of me would change my mind about that?
The companies mandating RTO seem to be in the few thousand employees and up range. My experience is that at those sizes a developer spends most of their time figuring out what and how to code, which is mostly done in meetings. Writing code in such a setup is a relatively small part of the work. Developer effectiveness doesn't have that large of an impact on their success, whereas organizational skills and leadership do.

I use Every Dollar. To do stuff manually is free. I pay $80/year to connect to my bank.

The setup for bank imports can vary. Some ask for your user name / password of your bank and the use a 3rd party to login and get the data. This was a no-go for me. Maybe it would be fine, but the idea of handing over my banking data to anyone wasn’t going to happen. I was in the market for a new bank, so I spend a fair amount of time looking for a bank, and checking it against how login worked for Every Dollar, to find one they would login through the actual bank site, so I’m not handing over my creds and I can revoke access from the bank side of things.

> Unfortunately: there's about 10-20% of people who genuinely shouldn't be working because they are untrustworthy, and things like remote work just enabled them to take multiple jobs or slack-off massively.

There are better ways to deal with those people. I'm not convinced that is the reason for RTO.

The real reason, IMO, is there is all this office real estate that needs a justification to exist.
Destin’s inverted steering bike is definitely an argument for that, inverting the steering does not affect the gyroscopic effect, but the bike requires re-learning how to ride.

GOD I KNOW RIGHT. Elder millenial here, I got the luxury of a cubicle ONCE, briefly at the start of my career.... never again.

Never understood Dilbert poking fun of cubicles so much till I realized what they replaced was widespread private offices! For most or all engineering staff, not just the executives!

What really confuses me is -- isn't corporate america in 2025 way way way way more profitable than in 1980? So why can't we afford private offices or even cubicles anymore?

They ARE losing talent to remote-friendly companies, actually.

It's just that retaining talent isn't their priority. They overhired and don't want a PR issue so they'd rather make it as miserable as possible so that some people leave on their own.

I've been riding an scooter to work for a few years, and the gyroscopic effect of the wheels on a bike do make a big difference. You can't take one hand off the handle bars to use your arm to indicate on a scooter. You will lose control instantly. When I ride my bike I can ride most of the way sitting up and not holding the handle bars at all.
Thats not really true. We do have a governmwnt regulation problem but it is mostly local. I live in a city that is routinely top 3 for ease of building and even here i am looking at a month or two for the city to get the review process started on my new garage build. The best is a disaster here, the worst is unforgiveable. What we need is provinces stuffing much relaxed regulation down city's throats and forcing service times measured in days and weeks not months and years. Something that would solve this would look like cutting residential zones down to two max and have the lowest approved for anything from single family to six story multifamily and the second being bigger than that. Have automatic amd fast conversion from one to the other at some reasonable amalgamated lot size. Get rid of most parking requiremwnts, get rid of most lot coverage limits, get rid of the dual fire escape stairwells in the lower density zone (one is enough),get rid of minimum house/ suite sizes, have any proposal within the zoning limits approved within a week.

@morgante Are you aware of any tools that do codegen from tree-sitter ASTs?

A simple application would be to produce a code formatter like Black or ruff for python but which could support any tree-sitter supported language.

More specifically to my use case though, if I produced tree-sitter grammars with identical node structure and node names, e.g. for sqlite and postgresql, then wouldn't this make it simple to do full transpilation between the two?
Steel is a great material for bike frames. Cheap, strong, fairly light when in tubular form.

Now if you’re trying to save every last ounce and someone else is paying for the bike, sure go carbon, but the vast majority of people are not even at the fitness level to really “need” a carbon bike.
Sorry; not understanding your outrage here. You expect your work to provide you with free soda? Or you expect a FAANG company in particular to do so?
I'm a former member of the church - From a faithful practitioner's perspective, the Holy Spirit acts as a moral guide. He's intended to help you identify right and wrong, and provide guidance in decision making. If one is living righteously you're promised to have that guidance available to you. That guidance is received personally. Most people think of it as strong feelings they have in situations.

I think the idea here is that that guidance will help people avoid being deceived by deepfakes.

The pandemic helped me understand the cost of infectious disease and made me realize that I could work effectively remotely and that the cost of in-person on my health wasn't worth it.

I used to live right next to the office, but I wouldn't go today even if I still lived that close. Also, living in a more rural environment is pretty great.
I prefer hybrid models don't dictate constraints like that and just set percentages that you should hit over time.

I'm in a long distance relationship and I'm okay with going into the office 4-5 days a week for 6 out of 8 weeks as long as I can be full remote for 2 out of 8 weeks.

But I am NOT okay with 2 days every week.

Systems programming is always a full step sideways from traditional applications and I do see where you are coming from.

I would still reckon that having familiarity with the standard rust (even with std) will still have more programmers willing to make the leap than learn C for this one project.

I know of less than a handful of C projects starting in 2024, I know there is a bunch in rust , even with no_std.
I suggest you try new devices to read papers. Often the perception that paper is a better support is due to a lack of more convenient devices. Paper is better than a 15'' screen for sure, for many reasons including size and posture while reading. But have you tried larger screens (> 27''), large tablets (>= A4) or as large as possible E-Ink readers? Depending on your preferences, you might find that some of these work actually better than paper also for you :-)

For me I went keto because I had a problem with sugar addiction going back since childhood. I managed to maintain a healthy weight through exercise etc but as I aged I felt that my bodies ability to handle sugar was decreasing, and it had significant impact on my energy levels, physical appearance and digestion.

Keto not only simplified my diet but massively improved my digestion, and helped me form more awareness of risks of sugar.

Regarding no long term studies.. its hard to believe much these days I rely on body feedback. Years ago the American diet was supposed to be healthy, look how that science turned out.

I hear you. I literally cant use any commercial tracker because of a alternating strabismus and the midas touch effect is a nightmare. I'd argue Apple did that because its such a mess on regular OS where the primary input method isnt eye gaze. (They did that with iOS too - match the OS and UI to the primary access method)

I'm not sure I can believe this "This system is likely already working better than an eye tracker would for cursor control" - the training to use this stuff isnt just 'magic'. I do agree though with "and it will certainly improve" - yeah iterate.. iterate..
Church Members have a somatic sense mapped to the Holy Spirit, and regularly experience symbolic & somatic injections.

Thanks for the recommendation. Thinkpads are excellent, and honestly, I wanted one. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of the company.

This is because they've done shady security and privacy-related stuff in the past, for example, shipping laptops with malware in 2015 or selling US Marines' laptops with altered hardware to send data back to China [1].

To make it worse, they also have weird practices regarding buying used products: they recommend you avoid buying used laptops (saying they might have viruses but later removed the page [2]) or saying that once you unlock your phone, you are not allowed to sell it [3].

TL;DR: Lovely machine, but I can't trust the company behind them.

Show HN: Nomad Visa – A collection of countries with digital nomad visas
Hi all,

I've been working on curating and researching countries that offer digital nomad visas, and launch Nomad Visa about two months ago.

While many digital nomads travel and work on tourist visas, I wanted to target people who are looking to legally work in countries for a longer duration.

Many of the information surrounding these types of visas is very scattered around, and often doesn't include much information at all. The main things I focused on were; requirements, the application process, and taxes.

While I still have quite a few countries on my list, the feedback I've gotten so far has given me motivation to keep pushing and researching.

If you're a potential digital nomad, is there anything else you would like to see? Any information that you think is missing?

Keen to hear your feedback and thoughts as well.

He’s right in the sense that people, in today’s set up, don’t want to pay. But can we imagine a different choice architecture where people don’t mind giving up the black stuff?
It will get much more anti- when it becomes clearer just how eerily fitting one of the early 'heretical' group's beliefs are to AI and digital twins.

For example, the group believed that it was actually the future but we were in a recreation of the past in the images of an original (and now dead) humanity who had brought forth a still alive intelligence based in light that recreated a twin of the universe pretty much just to resurrect humanity.

They talked about how it was the consumption of one's words that brought them back, not consumption of flesh and blood. How many would be combined into a single one, and that when we one day saw a child not born of woman it would be the creator of this twin universe, which in actuality isn't physical and is just its light in the images of what existed before.

It's a bit ironic as it's the most compelling tradition for Jesus having actually had any prophetic knack, but embracing it means acknowledging that the past 2,000 years of Christian tradition backed the wrong horse.

I have a surprisingly similar anecdote! Face-planted skating during finals week in my first year at university. My first memories are some hours later in the waiting room at a hospital that my friends had brought me to, holding a notepad with some hand-written responses to "What happened?" and "Where am I?" because my friends had gotten tired of repeating answers to the questions I'd forget having asked every few minutes.

I only had a couple finals remaining, and my profs gave me deferrals as soon as they saw the state of my face when I showed up at their offices. Wrote them a week or two later without issue.

Didn't notice any lingering mental issues, though it's now been nearly two decades and a nerve in my face still feels a bit funny, and my current dentist pointed out that it seems like I've done some damage to some of my jaw tendons at some point. (But as it doesn't cause me problems, didn't recommend treatment.)
No. That's just the first one I know. It was done back in 1996.

Yes, theoretically if you had ~identical grammars you could use it to do a full transpilation. There's a lot of challenges with that though. Writing a correct grammar for 1 language is complicated enough, but writing one for two where all your nodes and fields end up the same is likely insurmountable.

In practice, languages are either:

- Far enough apart that any pure AST transformation is insufficient and you need an AI component to produce usable output

- Close enough that you're better off just targeting the specific parts that differ and rewriting those while leaving the rest alone. I think GritQL can do well here.
Yes, free basic cheap commodity drinks and snacks are bare minimum for a FAANG-class employer, and every other FAANG-class employer I'm familiar with goes well above and beyond that.

Even my first job out of college as a boilerroom MSP sysadmin earning $40k in manhattan gave us free soda (the only benefit lol)

I mean, even if you work as a mechanic at a body shop, there is often free coffee in an old pot in the break room, it's not that crazy.

But outside of that context, no of course I don't expect/care if my employer provides me with free soda. I don't even drink it.

It just seems weirdly cheapskate for a supposed FAANG-class employer.
It doesn't matter how the bicycle balances, just that inventors thought it to be possible. Gyroscopes could have inspired that belief. Balancing was probably discovered in a "it works if we design it like this" manner, rather than from first principles.

Origin-Agent-Cluster
I don't understand how this works in the case of testing many applications running on many machines, where many services on many machines need to communicate with each other. We deploy a mix of systemd services and OCI containers (running on podman and Docker) to different machines, the exact mix on each machine depends on the machine's intended purpose.

We currently run CI tests using QEMU VMs. These VMs comprise a few systems representative of those that we deploy to production.

Does adopting Antithesis mean that all non-containerized applications would need to be OCI-ified and every interaction would need to be mocked? There's a sort of combinatorial explosion that I'm concerned about when I'm thinking about testing/adding a new service to a system: All services on which it depends need to be mocked and all services which depend on it require creating a mocked version of it.

Seems like a lot of work. Can someone please help clarify things for me?

Also, how could we test the behavior of non-application code like drivers or the kernel itself?
