I’m curious if it is a tactic these days to not have a way to contact the website owners/founders/sales. It is becoming pretty common to see no email/contact. Is this a way to paywall that part as a premium feature?

I really hope that wasn’t the plan for this too. I’m more of the notion that a way to contact/email someone on the other end even if it is even sales "sales@foobar.com" is a way more comfortable/trusty feeling than seeing no way to contact at all.

Best wishes to your effort.

You don’t need IPC, you can either use a preload script to expose particular Node APIs in a secure manner or set ‘nodeIntegration‘ to ‘true’ to expose everything.

Personally, I think we should abolish the professional management class.
It's possible to have this remote. The communication style of gen z and younger is entirely remote and also for younger millennials. But in a remote setting there has to be complete trust "in the chat". Just like in office you have to be open to allowing communication and ideas to be voiced. You also have to allow for impromptu video calls which can be disruptive but it's the same at a desk in office. I remember having to put up signs "do not disturb" that people promptly ignored. It's the same but different. My opinion is that what is happening now is just an uncomfortable generational shift. There is a very wide age range in the tech workforce because it's not limited by physical ability.
Yes. That’s why Duga was known as the Russian Woodpecker, as it would put out a series of pulses on UHF bands that would (apparently, to someone who had never heard a woodpecker) sound like a woodpecker. This is probably what you were hearing, as it sounds more like a chopper than a woodpecker to me, too.

Health care cannot be described as "very good" while it is not accessible to all. While we have a few excellent clinics available to either the wealthy or the people local to those clinics, there are other people get little health care at all. Our life expectancies are lower than other developed nations, while our infant mortality is higher. We have new drugs coming out that could save lives, but are being bought up by wealthy people instead of going to low-income people who actually need it. We have skilled doctors too burdened by the system to operate at their best. We have people flinging disinformation about health which results in incorrect beliefs and societal conflict. We are a freaking dumpster fire when it comes to health care.

And the insurance industry collects money through it all.

So yes, it is political and money-driven. But it is not about jobs. And it is not "very good."

Agreed. But just to be clear, ROS ecosystem sucks. I'm personally tired of the lack of consistent versioning, bad package system, every new version a breaking change is introduced somewhere...etc.

I known, that does not exclude the fact that people should try to work together, but maybe not using the same ROS philosophy.
> As another commenter said, nurturing a social life is more difficult when working from home

If you're happy with token interactions, sure. Your colleagues are right there (even talking to you while you try to work!). But IME, and from what I hear others say on HN and elsewhere, those aren't really "friends". The relationships are very superficial. How many of these people would help you move? With how many do you keep in contact when one of you changes jobs? I know exceptions exist, but those seem to be rather rare.

So, if you actually want a deeper relationship, you still have to look for it deliberately. Only now, you have even less time to do it, since you're stuck in the office for 8 hours a day and possibly a few more depending on your commute. Whereas if you're at home, if it's not practical to go have lunch with a buddy or something, at least you can deal with some of your chores that can be time-consuming, while not requiring you to interact with them continuously, like laundry, waiting for a delivery, slow cooking something, etc.
“It's not just us keeping them apart. It's everyone in Beszel and everyone in Ul Qoma. Every minute, every day. We're only the last ditch: it's everyone in the cities who does most of the work. It works because you don't blink. That's why unseeing and unsensing are so vital. No one can admit it doesn't work. So if you don't admit it, it does. But if you breach, even if it's not your fault, for more than the shortest time ... you can't come back from that.”

> Of course I start on work that I (not the reviewer) can work on right now.

Why do you start work you can't finish?
While I prefer remote it’s undeniable the vast majority of an adult’s socializing is done at work. Can you do it outside of it? Maybe, but probably not. Most of your friends will also work or they’ll have families and not be able to come out often.

Unless you have dozens of friends already the likelihood is you’ll often be alone after work.

Thankfully I’ve made my friends and have a family but if I was just starting out I don’t think I’d even have met the people that are close to me. My friends are mostly from work or work friends of my college friends.

People often say to that “just get hobbies”. Well, hobbies are often done with friends or are introduced to by friends.

> The base is: $284.1K. If you can make it 4 years where the average employment length is a year you can make that $420k. But it will require 16 hour days, luck and some high degree political skills.

This is untrue for Amazon, at least in the US. Your total compensation is guaranteed for the first 4 years. If your total compensation in your offer was 500k, you'll get ~500k per year.

The first two years you're paid in cash so it'll match the offer exactly, the final two years you're paid in RSUs (stock based) with the stock price calculated at the time of the offer. Your salary may vary due to stock price. Historically it's gone up, not down, and this is how people have made 600k+, for example, as a senior engineer there.

Starting from year 2-3, you'll receive new stock grants that will vest in the years after 4 if you stay that long.

Honestly do not get this perception at all. Have you ever live through an actual recession? Did it feel like this at all? I see some significant secular changes. Some industries are just changing and leaving some people in the cold and they'll be forced to adapt. Media in particular is just not the same kind of business it used to be and never will be again. I do not see any cyclical downturn. Just amongst my network, everyone is working, hiring is a bit slower but it's happening.
"Most drama today sucks" --- "This is called write-to-market"

Yes. I doubt you disagree, but I needed to point that out. These two, along with writing-by-formula, are intricately related. There's nothing wrong with writing being a racket.

If you want to feel depressed and lack a sense of optimism in humanity, spend some time learning about the publishing industry. Woof. It's nothing but formulaic conservative market-driven darkness all the way down. AND all the players are well-established, they've driven out inefficiencies, and they've got plenty of tricks to keep the riff-raff out. They've been doing that for centuries.

I don't like joking on HN, but this is a personal joke I've used for some time and seems appropriate: Want to start a new streaming series? Throw together a bunch of marketing-driven adjectives and end with "and they solve crimes."

"She's a gay little person goth time-traveling alien, he's an autistic left-handed incel Quaker. They live in Portland, and together they solve crimes."

My opinion is that people are going to eventually get sick of this stuff, much the same as they got tired of the B Monster Movies in the 50s, but who knows. Detective and True-Crime novels are perennials. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Working like this sounds to me like having a job I hate.
What might they be? API calls, read all files, write to files, side bar, UI interactions in editor. These are things I would imagine an extension can do. Continue.dev is an example.
Yeah, I bought the "Ultra" less than 24 months ago, it was released September 23, 2022, only for it to be obsolete within 12 months and now it's the model that can't even do new features. IT'S LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD!

Maybe I should learn my lesson and stop buying Apple Watches, it's really a joke.
Well I don't have to pay for any transporation, 'cause my employer can't decide on a dime to force me into the cage 5 times a week ;) I also only live a 15 minute bike ride away, rather than a 2 hour car ride as seems to be the case for many people in the US.

But even ignoring all that, money isn't the be-all, end-all. Having worked in the US for a stint, I'll take my "low" pay in the Netherlands any day of the week over rotting away in a soulless US megacorp headed by legitimate psychopaths, where they can decide to fuck you over at a moment's notice for any reason and you have no recourse.

After all, what good is money that you can't spend? If you gave me a trillion dollars but it meant I had to spend 12 hours of my day dedicated to work, what use is that? I'll take my sane working culture I have at the moment despite me earning marginally less (if you ignore literally all the other benefits of living in the Netherlands, that is) all day, every day.

You were correct. Electron lets you expose specific NodeJS APIs via the preload script or everything via the ‘nodeIntegration’ setting:

https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/structures/web-pr...

Separately the IPC lets you do zero copy in some circumstances via Transferable objects such as ArrayBuffers. Structured cloning is efficient but not zero copy, and json serialisation shouldn’t be used (since structured cloning is easily available).
Did you explore other branches of AI, namely KRLs? It's an underrated area especially in recent years.

My projects aren’t super complicated and just mostly Python/flask/htmx/html templates. I started with cursor during their free trial so I got the 500 sonnet prompts and it was pretty awesome. Then that ended and the remaining “free” models were fairly lacking.

So I went a’hunting, and settled on the Codeium vscode plug-in free plan which while not as good as cursor/sonnet combination but is quite capable and their “free” models are capable enough for what I am working on (believe they even use a llama 3.1 model— I think they have various models, but left it on the “base model” and it’s been pretty good)

ah-hah, but have you considered the executive's perspective on this? that perspective is "no."

the only reason executives really dislike remote work, is because as "face people" they have never had a place for it. It doesn't benefit them in any way, so how could it possibly benefit anyone else? they have never had a position like yours. they both deeply understand that no one is like them, and bizarrely believe that everyone works like they do and benefits from working in the office.

I have worked closely with executives throughout my career and the only common thread between them all is the intense hatred for telecommuting. I have never met an executive which understands it well enough to understand its place in their work environment. These same executives frequently called me after hours asking for work to be done immediately; work that could only be done in the office because that's where all of my digital tools were located and where the network connectivity was, etc. Zero recognition that one of those things could solve the other.

Well, it's that, or they just want to be dicks and give out orders. That could be it, too.

It's probably 50% of each. "executives get benefits, plebes do not."
No, they should have placed the cash in a box and sent it via USPS Registered Mail.

Then it requires the feds themselves to interfere to open the package. Plus, Registered Mail has a full chain of custody as the item becomes a fully accountable item within the mail stream that is signed for at every single touch along the way.

That’s not what your parent comment is saying. They’re commenting on how there’s no official Instagram app for Desktop, except now there kind of is: you use the mobile app on a mirror of the iPhone on the Desktop. That is “kind of wild” because it’s so roundabout. The comment criticises Instagram (and their lack of a Desktop app), not Apple.

Certainly nobody will blame managers for real estate decisions which were made prior to 2020. But a large number of companies revised expectations that workers would return to office as late as Q1 2023 and some even later.

> sunk costs do not justify throwing more good money after bad

Sure. In a rational world, the office space costs are sunk and everybody just moves on. But seeing that RTO just decreases competitiveness for hiring without hard benefits to show for, this indicates that the decisions are not rational. The sunk cost fallacy is easy to fall for, and that is even before considering how business leadership roles attract narcissists who have a hard time taking blame for anything.

Assassins Creed Mirage, Resident Evil 4, suggest gamers don't think of these devices and casuals don't play these games:

https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/28/aaa-games-iphone-ipad-arent-a...

Meanwhile, before IAP destroyed retail pricing of games, there were some, but now the devices can run great games, it's all IAP dross.

Braid, Civ VI, Disco Elysium, various others show the devices are fine. Genshin Impact shows a casual fan audience is there, most likely in my mind is: phone other than "Max" screens seems too small, and few people realize you can pair your favorite controller to an iPad. (Xbox Cloud Gaming works so well, it's confusing dedicated cloud players exist.)

> Their reasoning is that CBD-based businesses are somehow entitled to pre-COVID customer levels

It's more like downtown property prices are based on those levels, and property is leveraged, and if banks collapse do to commercial property prices plummeting, you're in for a bad time.

Also, although downtown is a very small part of the city - in many cities, downtown property taxes make up a relatively large chunk of total property tax revenues.

You either death spiral downtown property prices by keeping taxes steady while values decline, or you increase tax everywhere else to make up the difference.

Either of those options leads to a bad time for politicians.

Internet is now a matured technology and now (Social Media, esp.) is easily exploited by various entities. You should read up a bit more on this, rather than blaming META.

Price anchoring, I suspect. Apparently, people simply won't accept mobile games at "game prices" ($20-60) instead of "mobile prices" ($0-3). I am the opposite, refusing to engage with anything freemium, but I am also in the clear minority.

I think the main point is flexibility. And that's why many people on both sides of the issue (those with a hard preference for WFH as well as those for RTO) tend to break out the pitchforks: every decision from up high seems to strongly favor either position.

Maybe there are many companies who do allow for flexibility, in which case everybody is happy, so you don't hear about them, since they have better things to do than "not-complain" about their situation.

I'm lucky to work for such a company, and the main issue of discussion these days is whether we like or not the new office decoration. Managers are free to decide how often their teams have to come in, and, from what I hear, their underlings did have their word to say. Some people like coming in often, others less so. But basically, it all depends on who you're working with right now, and whether it makes sense to meet in person. This seems to work great for pretty much everybody.
Agreed, it’s not perfect but VS code is a pretty rich ecosystem. Dealing with the drift between a fork and the core product — and missing features/broken extensions that’ll inevitably come with that isn’t really something I want to deal with in my work flow.

Cursor has a pretty polished experience, but I keep coming back to VS Code and using continue.dev, which is a lot rougher around the edges, because the UI works well enough.

>I can't believe engineers took the scrum/agile workstyle and adopted it like that. Why didn't they vote with their feet?

They didn't. Execs were charmed by people who took a 2 day training class on scrum and told them it would streamline their development process and would save money. Since execs are incentivized by P&L, saving money gets them bigger bonuses. These execs typically have no idea if their dev team is good or not. I'm sure there are exceptions, but all the ones I've talked to seem pretty clueless; and they are the ones making major decisions.

>Why didn't they vote with their feet?

Since tech is a cargo cult; people who make these decisions have no idea what they're doing with dev, for the most part, they just ape other companies. The result is you can vote with your feet, but you'll just walk into another scrum environment.

Scrum works best when all your developers are mediocre and would stare at the ceiling all day if you didn't task them with something. It's probably not a coincidence that scrum came about when hiring cheap offshore labor was really building up steam.
Yeah, probably, but I do wonder where it starts to make sense to desolder a chip and give it another try.

Surely at the point of high end GPU Boards one would invest considerable amounts of time and money to salvage a chip, which could sell for thousands of dollars.
