It’s not bullshit. It’s perhaps exaggerated, and many of the “work from a desk in a specific building” people are the ones who can’t mentor them anyway, but there are benefits in

It doesn’t have to be, you can mentor people in a fully remote environment, but it’s far harder for most ok both sides - especially for young people and people on HN that think WFH means you don’t actually have to work.
Preserving your great-grandfather's memoirs like that (especially with the context of early American life) must have been a fascinating endeavor.
Check out Unitarian Universalism if you're looking for a more liberal church community. If you follow a specific religion and care that the services talk about that it may not be for you, they don't have specific religious beliefs in the way that Christianity does. But the UU congregations I've seen are largely made from old hippies and their children and grandchildren, as well as ex-Christians and Muslims who grew disillusioned by their own congregations but still want a church community

> It's astonishing to me that Voyager knows where Earth is at all.

Wikipedia says that the high-gain antenna has a beamwidth of 0.5° for X-band, and 2.3° for S-band.

You have: tan(0.5deg/2)*2*164astronomicalunit
You want: astronomicalunit
* 1.4311791

So it's so far that you could almost point it straight at the sun, and have the entire orbit of the Earth in the beam.

23 watts, spread out in a cone the size of a planetary orbit.

Men-to-men is often much less complicated, many things are understood automatically, agreement comes quicker, if sports then having similar level is more probable.

Of course I mean just true friendships, not some hunting for next partner in disguise (or something I saw quite often - keeping group of 'friends' around for next loneliness period to choose next partner from - both men and women are equally guilty here, there was always some weird little dynamics happening under the bonnet).

Guy-guy relationship at the end can easily be 100% honest and true friendship which is what men are normally looking for, guy-woman rarely so, even if they keep acting and telling themselves its just that. Biology is not something you can keep denying for long under various circumstances.

As for the main topic generally, I'd suggest either joining some group of people practicing sport one likes, or even better organize something for others. If you want dating, women will notice, they always like seeing competence and self-sufficiency.

Women - if you have good close straight male friends, and you are at least a bit attractive - don't think for a second they didn't at least once have a fantasy of having sex/dating you, most probably more than once. Maybe not 100% of men, but 98-99% for sure, we are not that complicated.

Well, something about head and ass. I looked into doing a one time donation to them earlier this year but they pushed so hard for a recurring one that they put me off and didn't even get the one time.

Besides, from other discussions mostly on HN I get the impression that you can donate to them but you don't know if the money will go to the browser or to their latest crypto or "AI" initiative.

As other mentioned networking is very important I recently open up and the result is beyond my expectation i was working alone for years, but now i am a technical team leader on big company all this happen was because of networking, to your surprise i am a self-thought developer and the only one without cs degree within an elite programmers who are graduated from top university with high GPA, i get out of my comfort zone it was hard but i did it and the reward was big. About learning new things, i think focusing on the core things is very important and this won't take much of your time, i am not against catching up with new tools, libraries and technologies, there are the lot of people who are good at a certain specific tool but I feel there are few guru programmer who can debug out of any obstacles. The latter is more important and the focus should be on how to become one of them.
I think treating everything as a skill-building exercise rather than a pursuit for external rewards could keep any process enjoyable

It's not that astonishing when you realize astral navigation is what sailors hundreds of years ago did to navigate the seas. Just look at the stars with a sextant and with some basic trigonometry you'll know where you are exactly. The Apollo space crew had to do that by hand and eyes using a sextant too when the astral navigation computer failed.

Gender-disphoria is quite rare (I read it's about 0.5% of the population) compared to other likely syndroms like ADHD (about 5%) and more importantly it shows in early childhood for three fourths of the cases, unlike e.g. ADHD which can go undiagnosed for those without the hyperactive side.
> no one knew what the iPhone would do

When you are the CEO of Intel you should be able to see/forecast what smartphones would do in the market.

The iPhone wasn't completely new. Nokia already had some "little smart" phones on the market already.

The only real surprise was Apple's ability to get a US phone company on board with selling the iPhone and losing grip on what software that was installed on the phones.
> Or a 20 for asking the eagles for help might be that they bring you half-way, as the eagles wouldn't want to get too close to Mt. Doom anyway.

I'd also add that ideally (if the DM is fully in the spirit of how this can be played for maximum creative storytelling potential), asking/negotiating for the assistance of the Eagles wouldn't be a single quick dice roll, but rather a complex, possibly hour-long session of courtly intrigue, diplomacy, and politicking, featuring many dice rolls, a lot of carefully chosen words, and a lot of favor-trading and maybe even intimidation. Ideally, getting straight to Mt. Doom via the Eagles should really be achievable, but not with just a single roll of a 20 - rather I imagine it would perhaps involve a concerted and creative effort by the whole party during at least an hour of playing time.

And then, there will be numerous dice checks to survive Mordor's anti-air assets (including probably cool eye beam lasers from the Eye of Sauron tower) and to accurately land the ring in the volcano despite buffeting wind. If any of those checks fail and the ring falls into inert dirt, the party would probably have to quickly send a commando team into Mordor to rapidly finish delivering the payload to target before Sauron's mages arrive in overwhelming force. Would honestly be more fun to play through one of these semi-failure disaster scenarios than an easy win!

Even if / when the party defeats Sauron, they don't have to stop there. For example, they could set their sights on investigating and stopping the reason for the waning of magic from the world, or any (ideally noble, or at least villainously entertaining) goal of their choosing. They could even e.g. research and create dimensional travel magic and hop to a totally different setting such as that of Star Wars.

This is such bad advice that I honestly couldn’t tell if it was a parody or not until I read the comment section—it’s not.

Attempting these design patterns is a common part of getting over OOP when new to Rust.
The result: over-abstracted, verbose, unmaintainable C++/Java written as Rust.
Every layer of indirection ossifies the underlying concrete implementations.
The abstractions inevitably leak, and project velocity declines.

I have seen the same types and logic literally copied into three different repositories in the name of separation of concerns.

Luckily people usually get over this phase of their Rust career after a couple of failures.

If you’d like to skip that part, here are a few rules:

1. Always start with concrete types.
Don’t abstract until you have at least two, preferably three, concrete implementations.

2. Separation of concerns is a myth.

3. K.I.S.S.
Excellent! Eventually the balls go through the lines, but it's unclear what the rules are?

HN is not the majority. But we've seen many studies that say tech WFH has either no/minimal efficiency loss, or even has better productivity. Most tech companies in fact made record revenue (maybe profits, but hard to say) over COVID, so the business logistsics do not imply a loss in production.

>Many HN posters still spout conspiracy theories like real estate investments by executives as the reason why RoT is enacted.

I mean, there's many reasons an otherwise unwarranted RTO happens. Maybe there's executive conspiracies, but the simplest two reasons are

1. We're still in layoff mode and RTO is a soft layoff without paying out severance. Especially to people that are physically unable to move back

2. managers and executives are in fact not rational actors. They can make decisions based on vibes, or because they need to make some shakeup (any shakeup), or because some other executive made a decision and they are mimicking. I would not take their decisions as gospel. Otherwise they would have shown some shred of evidence of productivity loss (which they cannot, because again: many tech companies have record revenues).

I feel the same and decided my next update would be to Asahi (Fedora or Ubuntu). I switched from Linux to macOS a few years ago, but I never really felt like I was the target user for this environment. It always feels like I have to adapt to the walled garden of Apple's ecosystem, rather than it adapting to me.
Thanks for the pointer! Definitively, on the long run these things should go into compilers directly, yes.

BTW, the break continue stuff now works in the development branch.

I notice that in that implementation there is an addition to the compiler state with indirections, whereas in ellipsis all is done with just three local variables; two per-function for knowing if we have to unwind completely and for the return value, and one per loop construct to know if we have to unwind there. All the rest is static information about nestedness and lexicographic ordering of code that can be deduced very early (here in the preprocessor). The result of all of this is a very organized braid of gotos, that in general are mostly optimized out.
I quit when they introduced the 3-days RTO last year. I just called few people that called me for years and landed a new job within a month. It also came with the raise, as I was approaching the cliff.

Agreed. The game "tit for tat" requires you actually tit if you get a tat. The tit and tat can last a "long time" for the human mind which is not relevant to the game structure. The mind may also "feel bad" about the tit.

> Top performers won’t be rewarded based on merit anymore because everything becomes about the collective

"Top performers" and "10x engineers" is largely a myth nowadays. It existed in the Steve Jobs era when they were trying to balance huge unwieldy OOP frameworks in their heads, but everyone just writes shitty React frontends now (modulo the few PhDs who are writing self-driving car software).

As a sidenote, most often when you see a "top performer" you're seeing someone who has the design in their head, who has always had the design in their head, and nobody else will ever have the design in their head because it isn't a well-structured design and it can't easily he communicated.
It's sometimes hard for me to understand how this works...
Step one: ignore the prefix, this has nothing to do with hex/six. And "ogon" meaning sides or struggle. The sides represent interfaces.

This arch really means use interfaces based on business use cases / domains. Call the User service/module and pass user ids into a billing service/module. Each service is over a defined interface (adaptor) that allows separation of concerns and separate data stores. You could use an in-memory port of the billing service and a real db for the user service service because both implementations leverage the same adapter code
> A gas engine could certainly tow my race trailer, but at horrific mpg

Gasoline engines actually have their highest fuel-to-power efficiency at full throttle. A more powerful engine just allows you to burn even more fuel to accelerate faster.

I suspect that the gas trucks gear ratios just made it unsuitable for towing by putting you way outside the optimum power band at load. This is why I said that power is not the only factor: You need a chassis, brakes, gear ratios and possibly transmission cooling for suited for towing that heavy loads. I stretched a chassis once towing way over the rating - I recommend not doing that.

22 MPG is also pretty bad by today's standards, but I've had engines like that. At 12mpg you're getting very close to the fuel consumption of the compact 48 ton trucks we use in the EU, but they usually have almost 800 HP under the... seat.

> EGR "messing with" does affect power. EGR lowers combustion temps .. but let's at least be honest about the negatives.

Temporarily, at idle, it does lower efficiency yes. But it's during the phase of engine operation with the lowest possible fuel consumption, and while all the fuel you're burning is thrown out the window. It is also only fully open in a very specific scenario, and otherwise at idle or very low power demand it will only be slightly open.

I don't think the cooled cylinder is harmful - it would eventually cool that that temperature at idle even without the EGR, and a hot cylinder preheats gasses on the way in, reducing the possible temperature gradient.

> But I don't buy that there aren't other ways to solve these issues.

As mentioned in a different comment, the EGR efficiency concern is entirely gone with engine start-stop as the time when it would be fully open is replaced by the engine being off. That improves fuel consumption past a deleted truck.

I agree that emissions-related tech is a hack in many ways, but the problem is that internal combustion engines are terrible and hard to fix. For most people, electric already works fine, and most complaining about spec comparisons never need those specs.

For others, older technology will stick around for a bit longer until we have mature solutions. Plus, if all regular cars and trucks get replaced by something better, having a few (properly emissions controlled) gas trucks on the road won't matter as much.
> Usually PC ports of console native games re-implement the rendering engine using the PC graphics APIs like DirectX or Vulkan. The re-implementation is probably less efficient and less tuned.

This was true 25 years ago when in house bespoke game engines were more common and consoles weren't basically PCs. In 2024, I highly doubt many cross-platform games are ported at all - its just a different target in Unreal/Unity/etc.
So as simple as possible, without unnecessary indirections and useless abstraction like interfaces that make reading the code hard, right? ;)

There really are very different perspectives on what makes code easy to manage, and interfaces (especially ones used only for a single class) are a sure-fire way for me to make code unmanageable. But java enterprise coders disagree. That can clash hard.
With respect, most people sitting around the table on that photo sure look like 70+ don't they? Not there's anything wrong with it ...
Sure, why not? Minimium wage in California is still not a "living wage".

>shouldn’t they get compensation if the office workers get this benefit?

depends on the company, but they used to stipend transportation and sometimes even car gas and repairs as a benefit. I see nothing wrong with that idea.
The office broadcast conversations can be a mali and boni. Sometimes you get updated by a background conversation- sometimes you get distracted by a conversation. It would be great if you could auto-flag a conversation you have on teams as relevant for others or not - and it would just start playing merged into the music of others remote, one way.
Commuting is probably pointless for a large number of individual office workers as well as their employers, but the busywork of commuting generates so much economic activity and value to society that it can't be killed overnight.

Having people move between home and work drives value in car sales, public transport, real estate valuations, construction, lunch restaurants, public infrastructure projects and countless other things that generates value.

The collected services catering to commuters is larger than any single company, and society can probably not handle a decision (most office workers can work from home) that effectively bankrupts it. It needs to slowly be replaced with something else.
I believe work is underway on HEAD but I don't think we'll see any of it in 13. Probably not even in 14. That sort of stuff is hard to merge without breaking KBIs.

Yeah sure, the total crime rate may be declining.

That's because it's comprised of everything else, like shoplifting kids and gangs of bicycle-stealing thieves in student towns like Uppsala.

"Oh yippee, we had six hundred fewer cases of shoplifting and two hundred fewer cases of bicycle theft, and only two hundred more cases of deadly gun violence and one hundred more cases of deadly use of explosives -- minus eight hundred, plus three hundred, a net reduction of five hundred cases of crime!"

Don't fall for the obvious white-washing.
gzip is fast (pigz is even faster), supported everywhere (even in DOS), uses low amounts of memory, and compresses well enough for practical needs.

bzip2 is too slow.

xz is too complex (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1068024 ), designed to compress .exe files.

lzip is good, but less popular.

zstd is good and fast, but less popular.
Well my take, having done retail and factory factotum work when I was younger, is that I'm not going to take one of those jobs ever again.

I've also done jobs where I had to commute into a windowless office and be at my desk at an exact time too.

I'm not going to work for in those jobs again either when WFH is a viable option.

It's a free market and I suspect that Amazon know this. I suspect that RTO is just a way to boost property usage and disguise redundancies. At the very least it means that Amazon don't know how to measure productivity properly if they only way they can ensure it is to force people to sit in a chair each day.
I'm waiting for peoples of AI to discover syllogism and inference in its original PROLOG sense, which this CoT abomination basically tries to achieve. Interestingly, if all logical content is translated to rules, and then only rules are fed into the LLM training set, what would the result be, and can the probabilistic magic be made into actually following reason without all the dice.
> Intel and AMD were the final two contenders in the bidding process for the contract.

That's an interesting question. Will either Sony or MS break backwards compatibility by going away from x86 again in the future? Definitely not with the next console generation.

On the CPU side, MS does have good x86-on-arm emulation from their brand new windows arm so it's conceivable. Not sure how bad it would be on the GPU side.
