I find nurturing a social life much easier when I'm WFH because I don't end each day dead on my feet from being overstimulated all day, being in uncomfortable clothes, etc. It also means I don't have to choose between chores and going out after work/on weekends. (A lot of my job is being available for issues and/or requires waiting on SMEs so I have downtime). And it means my social battery isn't drained by the 40 conversations about coworkers' kids that I don't care about (I participate to create a good social environment, but it's just not an enjoyable conversation topic for me) so I can spend my social energy on people and topics that actually fill my cup.

Now i am curious if they know what causes their LED troubles or what causes the underlying memory corruption.
Of course. The security considerations section does mention this as a feature of `QUERY`, saying that the `Location:` returned by the server should not encode all the details of the request.

However it's also true that q-params effectively form part of the UI. I'm certain you've edited URIs before -- I have, and I know not-so-knowledgeable people who do it too.

Striking a balance here is not easy. With `QUERY` the server can decide how much of the query to encode into the `Location:`, if any of it at all. The server might use knowledge of the "schema" that the query refers to, or it might use the syntax of the query (if it supports indicating sensitive portions), or it might only "link-shorten" the whole query.

No, but I'd wager that many would pay for the illusion of a benefit, especially while GPTs are still trending. A lot of startups collect tons of little microservices like this. They're typically willing to pay up to a few hundred bucks annually for each of these of these types of services.

B players with too much ego are the kinds who put PhD on their card/throw titles around, talk about MENSA, and challenge everyone else to trivia contests. At a big name, exclusive department, more than half of the people were normal and well-adjusted, while the other half skewed on a continuum of quirky to mildly obnoxious or ego now and then but not completely intolerable. TED speakers and people with giant awards, prizes, and h-index. The worst types are the completely intolerable folks who are overconfident and treat others badly because of a superiority complex... the "big fish, tiny pond"-"Comic Book Guy" lifers are found in megacorps.

Another aspect to keep in mind is the ambiguity and conflation between a continuum of intentional (jerk) to unintentional (dork) lack of honest and accurate looking-glass self.

Finally, another anti-pattern of some subject matter experts is being too comfortable within a narrow range of subjects, talents, life experiences, etc. and being generally excessively risk adverse.

The best thing one can do is broaden their horizons by finding where the artists, (sane) homeless people, OG's, and otherwise interesting and genuinely awesome people hang out. Makerspaces, hidden cafe or bar, or so on. I met way more interesting quasi-homeless people in Palo Alto than former Apple employee #4 jerk friend-of-a-friend swinging their Lambo keys around. Ego is boring, status is boring, and absurd wealth is boring too.

Show HN: Selectable – Postgres for Android
I've built Selectable - a freemium Postgres client for Android devices. It's currently available for open testing, links below.

The key feature is the SQL query editor. The query editor was designed to be mobile-friendly. With autocomplete and a touch-friendly way to select parts of a SQL query, writing SQL statements with the query editor can - in some cases - be faster than typing the same query on a desktop.

The app supports the usual SQL client things:

- Browsing schemas, tables, and columns

- Running custom SQL statements

- Viewing results as a list, or as a table.

- Exporting results to CSV

- Saving queries (You can save one query in the free version)

The project is in very early stages, and is still missing a lot of features - notably the ability to insert, update, delete, or perform DDL via the query editor.

The app currently only supports Postgres, and is currently only available on Android.

Please give it a spin, and let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests.

If they're a full-on toady windbag like Vance, it doesn't matter which party they're from.
In the early days you needed only 2 or 3 programmers to get your site going and a cheap server to host it and if the website and its concept caught on you raised money to buy more servers and hire more people(the most famous example being Facebook). Nowadays you need to have a really good prototype and if you want to do something really amazing you probably need a lot of computational power in order to expand it and scale it. Also the complexity of software development is greater. In reality Moore's law made computational power more cheaper so actually it shouldn't be really a problem but startups overall burn a lot of money on computational power(hosting, bandwidth etc.)

Back on the early days; YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim said in 2006 [0] that perhaps any CS undergrad could've coded any of the internet's early killer apps in a few weeks but the scaling them would be whole another problem, scaling in this context meaning acquiring users.

My opinion is that you can still spin an amazing website relatively fast but then you need to improve UX, create your mobile presence(make mobile apps) etc. etc. Whole lot more hassle than it was in the early days when mobile phone internet and mobile apps were irrelevant.

Good example is also Instagram which was natively and exclusively mobile app which allowed them to improve their product faster and scale the app faster.

I find the GitHub Desktop tool to be rather clunky.

I use git in various ways;

* CLI for most small tasks

* GUI for big tasks and getting an overview

* Editor UI for small things if I am currently in the editor.

* GitHub’s website for collaboration and GH specific tasks

The GUI’s I use are:

Git-Fork on macOS, Windows. Visually my favorite UI of all. https://git-fork.com

Sublime Merge on macOS, Windows and Linux. I use this the most since my main development system is Linux. It is more powerful. https://www.sublimemerge.com

I prefer those two to Tower, but Tower is much better than GitHub’s tools. Tower is probably the most powerful tool out there.

Many editors have good Git support. I tend to use these tools first smaller git tasks.

VSCode had a wealth of built-in and add on tools that can do nearly anything. I generally find these to be rather inelegant UI designs. But again better than GitHub’s own client.

I have been VERY pleased with the Zed Editor’s current git integration and expect it will improve. I have only recently started to use Zed as my primary editor on an experimental basis.

Finally, I haven’t really reviewed all of this in a few years. Always interested in learning new ways.

If you would enjoy a fintech and can readily out engineer the average AWS TAM, we're hiring "Work Anywhere" in the U.S. (preference for Americas/New_York TZ for better overlap with UK etc.). We fly you business class to HQ in NYC area for an Mon - Thu about twice a quarter.

You'd be on a small (4-8) capability or service owning team, including investment strategy (quant, strat, ML, discretionary, etc.) domain lead engineers on same team.

We are small enough 'talent density' is still high, and everyone -- even non dev parts of firm -- is a builder.
What was the mechanism that improved vision? I have worked on medical devices and of course waiting on a clinical study is difficult for any business and many fail for one reason or another.

If it worked like that in other Mac apps, I wouldn’t mind. Then you would just adjust to “this is how MacOS does cut-and-paste” and after an initial adjustment it would make complete sense.

But in every other Mac app, even in TextEdit, you would Cmd-X to cut a piece of text and Cmd-V to then paste it somewhere else. The same logic is used to e.g. move an image within a note or email, which is also a file.

So Finder is simply inconsistent with the rest of the OS, and after 4 years as a Mac user I have just given up and use either drag-and-drop or a terminal when I need to move stuff.

You are scaling yourself - So you have more time to focus on tasks that matter.

Rather than answering the same questions repeatedly, you can point other teammates to your doc.

It’s also not just a one time thing - Once the docs started gaining traction, you will see your teammates contributing. It takes time to get there, but it will get better over time, and it’s worth it.

Downside
1. Docs can get outdated - There will be times you need to go and refactor the docs.
2. You won’t get promoted because you wrote good docs.
I have a 100% remote job. But my team have decided to go at least every tuesday to the office. We are not obligued, but almost everyone comes to the office once a week just to socialize and talk about our projects and sometimes even to take a beer or two after work.

To me, feels super refreshing to talk to people when Im at the office, and to be fair Im much much less productive in the office. But makes me appreciate when Im at home and when I dont need to be in the car for 1 to arrive my home, take everything and go to the gym.

It feels like, going from time to time to the office when almost everyone is there, gives to the remote working more sense and value. And viceversa.
I wouldn't go around bragging about not caring about people I spend 8+ hours a day with for years on end. It's not the good look you think it is, and you haven't reached some modern level of enlightenment here.
> Companies forget this.

No, they don't. It's intentional.

Someone quitting over an RTO mandate is cheaper than a layoff. And if someone doesn't quit, they're likely to put up with a whole lot of other grief too. Unpaid extra work (to cover the people who quit), not asking for raises, etc. It's purely money-saving and to instill fear.

In the 20th century, IBM and the Welch era brought in a lot of tools to extract the most from employees like the "up or out" mentality or simply firing the bottom 5-10% of employees every year.

Tech has simply reached that point. You are a replaceable cog. Tech is now in permanent layoffs culture to suppress wages. Laying off 5% of the workforce every year is now a permanent fixture of your company.

Personally, I think engaging in layoffs means you, as an employer, have demonstrated there is insufficient need and you are ineligible to sponsor a work visa in any broadly related area for 24 months. "Broadly related" here means if you layoff a software engineer, you can't sponsor another software engineer. I don't care if one does C++ and the other does Python. I guess you'll have to train somebody.
You know, I’m actually pretty surprised that there’s not more lobbying for some kind of tax incentives to promote remote work. It takes a lot of burden off transportation networks. Honestly, it’s probably cheaper than building more roads and more rail.

I suppose the best you can do is just use the commute cost in your calculations of what your compensation is worth. I made a lateral move to a company that offers hybrid work. The irony is the company I came from was all in office, but I worked exclusively with people outside of my office so I would drive to work just to interact with people on MSTeams.
I love a conspiracy but I dont see how the incentives align.

Real estate leases and ownership is a sunk cost. Office space can be relet. And even Amazon wont make a dent in the office realestate marker (warehouses, maybe...)

They want people back in because either they think it makes the company more productive, to get people to quit rather than layoffs, or to give the appearance of doing something. Knowing Amazon they probably have some data to drive the decision too.
Yes, some use sound effects for alerts and notifications.

> Is sick leave paid in US by law (till certain extent of course) from some employer's mandatory insurance, or some sort of corporate perk like extra paid holidays? And what about when having sick child?

For the kinds of jobs we’re talking about here (corporate Amazon, college education required, salaried) you basically just call in sick and that’s it. You didn’t work but you still get paid your normal salary. This is the flipside of salaried work obviously — just as there may be times you work over 40 hours and don’t get additional pay, there are times when you work less than 40 hours and still get your regular pay.

Now all of this depends on circumstances like your manager, but in general, in these kinds of jobs, no one is running around tracking your sick days. If you’ve got something more substantial going on then you’ll have to take short-term or long-term disability however.

Bold headline and then the stepping back later down the article:

> Some of the problems don’t matter as much if your goal for the model is just prediction, not interpretation of the model and its coefficients.

It depends strikes again.

> As my professor once told our class:

> "If you choose the variables in your model based on the data and then run tests on them, you are Evil; and you will go to Hell."

Again, it depends. If one wants to be pedantic, then choosing to omit any variable in the universe in a non-random fashion is based on some data. Choosing variables via "subject matter expertise" is the same thing but "smarter."

> To explore this I wrote a function (code a little way further down the blog) to simulate data with 15 X correlated variables and 1 y variable.

> mod <- lm(y ~ ., data = d)

If one wants to be pedantic, then why are we using a model that assumes independent variables with correlated data?
As other commenter says, spending human time to save a $15 chip is uneconomic. This only happens if they're especially expensive parts or (as during COVID) supply is short and you can't just buy some more.

(COVID shortages saw the opposite phenomenon in a few places: working consumer electronics being bought and stripped for a particular part critical to something else, then the rest thrown away!)

Remember that after you've hotgunned it off the board and cleaned the solder you have to re-ball BGA parts. Again, a process that's cheap in the original manufacturing line and very hard to do by hand. It also means the part has been through more thermal stress which will shorten its life. You don't want to have to rework a unit again if you put a recycled chip in it which fails.
isn't this how it already works?

This is my #1 gripe with non-fiction books. Way too wordy, too many anecdotes, just spit it out already.

Please value my time as the reader. I read a lot of books, but I feel like I’m allocating more mental energy skimming half the content than I am absorbing knowledge.

37signals/Basecamp had some illuminating things to say about their book experiences. They kept fighting with the publisher to make their book short, the appropriate length. The publisher kept wanting it to be double the length to seem more impressive on the shelf.

That mindset is to the detriment of books, just get to the point.

I’d love a good summary on why Cursor, Void (and I assume other tools) decided to build new editors instead of just extending the incumbents (VSCode extension, Jetbrains plugins).

Is there a technical limitation of the extension APIs or is it easier to “market” a new editor than an editor extension?

While adoption for individuals and small companies might be easy, a lot of bigger places already have other integrations with existing IDEs and displacing those for yet another IDE will be a hard ask

I find it very useful for allowing everyone on the team to have a general idea what everyone else is working on. You can call out to ask for help at any time [1]. But having a 15 minute meeting each day to make sure everyone has a view of all the pieces in movement is handy.

[1] Though the standup does give a place for people that aren't comfortable calling out when they're having issues.. to do so because it's expected there.

> Eliminating 2 hours a day of driving and train rides left me with more energy I can expend on my work! Who'da thunk it?

I think I saw it mentioned in an old HN thread once, but I'd like to see a study between the WFH desire and its relationship with (a) commute times, and (b) commuting method: walking, cycling, driving, urban transit, commuter rail, etc.

If your commute was a 15-30 minute (one-way) bicycle ride, how different would you feel about going into the office more often?
