I was at a large manufacturing software company where the CEO came out with a return to office mandate early on except it didn't apply to anyone in my chain of command. My director lived in an RV and worked from that travelling. Every VP above worked from a remote location, so I asked. I was told they all had other arrangements. I left within a month.

That’s on the more senior workforce, and especially their managers to fix. Their incompetence to do so shouldn’t be solved by worsening the working conditions.
It's a cute joke about an unintended interpretation of what the CEO said.

Let's be real, not a single HN comment (and there's nearly 1500 here as I'm writing this one) is going to be "productive" is this discussion, especially with regard to Amazon. The biggest impact is some comment here may convince someone on the fence to quit when they might have waited a few months without it. And this joke isn't going to change that.
companies shouldn’t care the physical location of an employee, only that they’re meeting performance goals.

why do you need to see me to do my job?
Ok, so one of those things is price gouging (the price gouging), which sounds like a problem local to the Australian grocery market. It's obviously bad, but Mr Beast has 12x Australia's population in YouTube followers. The comparison doesn't make sense. Your trying to whatabout this with that is completely bizarre, and why your initial comment is dead. Bye
Responding to hyperbole is hardly adding to the discussion.

Money isn't everything. People claim it is are often missing something money can't really buy.
> Where do you see me saying such a thing?

Your solution appears to be "choose a different employer" without any hint of "demand more from the current employer".

> You would do it if you had no other options if every potential employer would require you to be on site depriving you of remote options, but because the market is in your favor giving you options, it's difficult for you to empathize with the other situation.

You assume something that's not the case. I am of the opinion that everyone who can, should have this option regardless of the market situation and I think it's terrible people are forced to commute. It's like paid leave or health insurance - an achievement in workers' rights.
> ...I don’t think it’s appropriate to push this topic further given the divergence from the original post.

Respectfully: who the fuck cares how far the current topic in a subthread has diverged from the original one? Let the conversation go where is interesting to the folks having it and trust in folks reading the conversation to nope the fuck out if they lose interest.
That is the only reason I use Cursor. The autocomplete is way too good. For refactors, it's just magic! I tried using VSCode after using Cursor for a whole month and Copilot is just straight trash in comparison.

I'd like to continue using Cursor but I'm don't want to have to buy Claude subscription twice (Cursor uses claude under the hood), and I prefer claude sonnet over chat-gpt.
.... I didn't say that.

Just don't be naive and think that societal standards don't exist. And also, possibly give some thought as to why they exist so that you don't go down insane spirals and waste your life only to later understand that the collective had a point.

Ageism is not death. Just a bump in the road.

I am well past 60. For the first 30 odd years I was an individual contributor in both programming and system administration and manager of the same.

When one of the financial crises and ageism ended my management career, I went back to school and switched fields. After a few years I got the chance to teach new computer support professionals in vocational program. I have been doing that for 15 years.

As a side note for ageism "victims" our school is growing and is struggling to find enough competent teachers (Window/Linux Admin, Database, Scripting, Networking, VMs, Cloud, Mobile devices...).

Check out your local vocational programs. You can find permanent or bridge work teaching at this level. Usually industry experience is more important for these jobs than a teaching degree.
I disagree. I think good students judge their teachers based on how motivated and passionate the teachers themselves are about a topic.
Though I've had classes where I only realized their importance multiple semesters after having them. (Mostly the non technical, business classes)
Makes me wonder if back in the early 2000 people went around the forums posting "I didn't read the linked article, but putting the title into Google gave me this: ...". Seriously, what's the point of this? We know that most LLMs has the whole of English Wikipedia baked into them (IIRC it constitutes the bulk of the training data for pretty much all of them), and that they can recall it more or less correctly, thank you very much.
On the scale of the public, the public should just not sell ad space. The public finance the conaumer prices in the end anyway.
i bet working for you is like working for a dictator.

> Your entire focus here is compensation, which wasn’t my focus in everything I listed.

It wasn't your focus in everything you listed, but it was in two out of the four of them... which certainly isn't nothing:

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

> - The incentives for engineers who want to go above and beyond will disappear, because compensation, and everything else, becomes standardized. Instead of an environment where you can negotiate and prove your value, it becomes about fitting into a collective agreement. Hard work and unique contributions should mean something, but they won’t in such an environment.
It feels to me like there’s a level of abstraction missing when it comes to SQL and how it’s used.

Instead of just having :userId as a parameter that gets safely put in a query, it feels like there should be something like SORT_EXPRESSION(:orderBy) and for other common use cases, like in the sibling comment.

I have no idea whether this would fit in better as something handled by an ORM or the RDBMSes, but it probably doesn’t belong as the responsibility of the average developer, judging by the code I’ve seen.

I think the argument about needing to fix mechanisms that are commonly misused is a really good one, but there are no very clear solutions, I’m sure there can be found plenty wrong and overly trivialized with the suggestion above.
They definitely meant the latter.

At first I enjoyed going into the office a day or two a week...but nobody else goes in, and it's even weirder being in a giant office building with just a couple people on each floor than it is staying at home.

There was also a recent HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41221252
Lots of people make youtube videos for fun. Work can be fun to the point where it's what you want to do. Not what you have to do.

If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. If I wasn't employed as a software dev then I would still be writing code on a daily basis.
So why not bring your better negotiation abilities to your peers? Collectively the bargaining power is way larger, and as such the upside as well.
It works if your client knows and can articulate exactly what needs to be made.

I imagine that was more common in the 80s and early 90s when most people working in computer land were more tech savvy (relatively) than your average project manager today. And the market was less “get it out there asap” than it is today.
I also came to stats through social sciences (now have a masters in stats). I was actually taught about stepwise regression in a stats course before I encountered it in social science.

The problems of stepwise are numerous. In my view many people confuse model fit and variable selection. All too often the analyst will use an automated approach for selecting variables that give the best model fit, without consideration for their meaning. It isn't uncommon to see missing or imbalanced categories. Almost none of them apply any corrections for multiple comparisons.

I encourage lasso over stepwise for variable selection and then fitting an OLS model if precise coefficient estimates are needed.
Co-working spaces aren't everywhere, and the people there aren't your co-workers so it's really not the same relationship.

I see a lot of companies move away from fully remote to hybrid, 2-3 days a week at an office. have you considered that? it might bring more opportunities.

Also, if you are a decent engineer as you say, perhaps drop the match of 80% down to like 40-50% - as long as it sounds appealing to work there of course.

With your experience you can likely motivate easily that you can skill up on any new things quickly regarding the mismatches.

Other then that, the market is down for a lot of EU companies, not much good investments so a lot of layoffs at least in my country. EU is trying to work towards a bit better investments appearently if I have to beleive the news, but this will take a lot of time.

Where I'm at, a lot of the multi-tenant buildings which used to be bustling with devs and startups etc. are just empty now and rent prices through the roof (so harder to get up and running with new products/ideas etc. which is where often you can find a lot of job positions). Due to that, a lot of these devs now go to more established companies, filling all those jobs up.

I'm no expert on this, but just my observations looking around me at empty offices and jobless dev friends.

perhaps you can go for automation/integration type jobs, and skillup a bit outside of the dev domain so you can do dev-ish kind of work in another domain. cyber needs a lot of that kind of stuff (working a lot towards automating stuff / SOAR etc.) and devs often do well in analyst/engineering jobs there. not strictly dev jobs but having the skills is a big + there. it might match your profile less, but people will likely be happy with your profile anyway.
Quote Origin: I had exactly four seconds and Google had told me it wasn’t enough
I can see why psychiatrists may oppose it, anyway. There's some scant evidence that cannabis wakes up latent schizophrenia in susceptible users. You never really know if you're susceptible to it or not. Even family history can betray you - if your family was historically poor and had little access to doctors, can you accurately say you know your family history?

I can relate a personal anecdote. This concern is one reason I personally haven't tried weed again after an initial bad experience with it. I bought about $60 of edibles expecting to have a good time, and most of them went right into the trash after my first time on them (at a very low dose even) resulted in derealisation, brain fog, and panic attacks lasting days.

Granted, I'm likely neurodivergent, and have a history of both anxiety and hypochondriasis especially with unfamiliar experiences. But unfortunately I couldn't determine if it was hypochondriasis or psychosis. The fact that one psychotic break could be life ruining effectively vetoed challenging the anxiety, and thus I couldn't really determine if it was safe to try again.

I don't oppose weed legalisation to be clear - but it can ruin your life if you have an unfortunate brain chemistry.
Sounds like Adobe Air. It was pretty nice as a development platform. Something similar for Electron is an interesting idea!

In manga aren't click bait titles, but because there are so many published, you pick basically a title that explains the premise, otherwise it's harder to get users to read your manga. I suppose that also could work with novels, I'm not a book person, but I suppose you read a review or watched some video that recommended you a book, and if the title is self descriptive, then would easier to go to the book store and buy something that might is your liking.
Actually Japanese titles are explained by the reality that market is so crowded that no one reads the synopsis(backside) or even blurbs anymore. So putting it all in the title is best way to get enough information out to catch some attention.
Because it's really hard for a company to do both. Even if it's a remote first and the office is just a place to do zoom calls. Human nature will divide it into two camps with social bonds being stronger within the remote/on office groups than across.

Speaking as someone who would have to be dragged back to an office, it's obvious that the in office group would win out. Bonds are weaker in the remote group and your type A ladder climbers will be overrepresented in the in office group.

So hybrid office is probably going to lead to all in office. Especially in these difficult economic times as workforces stagnate or shrink in these companies.

I used Supabase in a previous project and found that I prefer Firebase for MVPs.

1. I prefer NoSQL to start because I don’t have to deal with numerous database migrations when I want to update the schema due to changing requirements.

2. I prefer Firebase’s out-of-the-box authentication: https://blog.hyperknot.com/p/comparing-auth-providers

However, I would consider Supabase if row-level security or complex queries were necessary for the MVP.

Regardless, if one of my MVPs gained real traction, I would want to move away from a Backend-as-a-Service solution.
>Your solution appears to be "choose a different employer" without any hint of "demand more from the current employer".

That's only what you implied, not what I said. If simply demanding stuff from your current employer would just work then there wouldn't be so many unhappy workers everywhere. But that's not it works in the real world. The only language employers understand is the "F you, I quit" part.

>I am of the opinion that everyone who can, should have this option regardless of the market situation

That's nice but how do you propose that to happen? Did you see any workers rioting on the streets to have remote work as a guaranteed labor right? No? Then you can forget about it.

All rights and perk that labor currently has, like the 8h workday, free healthcare, paid vacation days, paid sick leave, have been won only through blood and conflict. It's not like your government is ever gonna hold a referendum and ask workers how many paid vacation days do you want to have and everyone gets to choose. If you want change you need to fight for it, physically with violent force, otherwise you'll be at the mercy of the "free market" which may or may not be in your favor depending how the wind blows. Perks aren't just gonna fall out of the sky for the working class, ever. The covid years were a fluke.
> This is Amazon having it both ways, which is what a lot of companies are doing. You can work remotely 'sometimes,' with a secret definition of 'sometimes,' operating in the background.

This isn't really different than startups offering "unlimited" time off. That's just

> This is Company XYZ having it both ways, which is what a lot of companies are doing. You can take time off 'sometimes,' with a secret definition of 'sometimes,' operating in the background.

I think it's widely known that "unlimited" time off is a scam, and people with "unlimited" PTO actually take less time off then their peers who have to accrue PTO the old fashioned way. And yet sometimes I still see people who are enthusiastic about it.
Im not sure what you’re trying to imply with these questions. You started your comments talking about “this country” and providing links to American lynchings. That has nothing to do with Germany. I’m not stupid. Every country has evil shit in their history and everyone is well acquainted with germanys historical shit list but let’s not try to turn around your dumb mistake as some moral grandstanding okay? Link German lynchings and false accusations when talking about Germany.

This is an attrition forcing tool.

These CEO's who think they are business geniuses fail to grasp that they look like morons parroting this "RTO means productivity and collaboration" nonsense which has been disproven time and time again.

They are doing this because they are just dumb people. They over hire and allow their organizations to become bloated because they know that when it's time to make their metrics look good, they just create such miserable work environments that they know they will lose some people. Next comes the layoffs.

I mean, this is ape level intelligence here. No thought required.
Not really. MacOS’s webview is kept relatively up to date with whatever version of Safari is current when the OS is released. Webview2 on Windows receives regular updates via Windows Update.

You encounter the exact same compatibility issues you would on the web, with a somewhat slower uptake to new versions. Not ideal but entirely manageable.

> why would one want to use it

Primarily because (last I checked, anyway) any app using Electron has to bundle its own version of Chromium, which is massive. It also means each Electron-powered app is totally ignorant of the other, resulting in a lot of duplication and unnecessary memory usage. When you use the system webview you have minimal bulk and resources can be shared, as if they’re multiple tabs in one browser rather than each one being its own browser.
Go to app store on your iPhone, swipe refresh and see how heavy all those native SwfitUI apps are and we are talking only about app updates. You will barely find app less than 100MB and few that are even 300MB+. Didn't check if they are also as heavy on desktop. So that's at least regarding app size on environment impact native apps at least using SwiftUI not making it better - I would say they make it even worse since javascript apps can just autoupdate non native part without downloading whole bundle (and I think this is what slack and discord doing for some updates). SwiftUI apps are also not as fast as UIKit apps not sure about memory performance.

In practise I will take any JetBrains IDE or VSCode over native XCode IDE anytime - XCode is such a big heavy hog.

You wouldn't enjoy it if your commute was 3 hours total a day, or nobody you work with is also in the office (all meetings are remote) or if the lunch options were bad and overpriced, or you rent a bad apartment from a negligent landlord because even a decade into your tech career you cannot own a home in your city (Canada). Your preference for in-office is not a skill, it's a privilege that you haven't experienced how stupid and horrible in-office can be.
> Do you think it's really a training set problem? I don't think you learn to say that you don't understand by observing people say it, you learn to say it by being introspective about how much you have actually comprehended, understanding when your thinking is going in multiple conflicting directions and you don't know which is correct, etc.

I really do think it's a training set problem. It's been amply proven that the models often do know when they lie.

Sure, that's not how children learn to do this... is it? I think in some cases, and to some degree, it is. They also learn by valuing consistency and separately learning morals. LLMs also seem to learn morals to some degree, but to the degree they're even able to reason about consistency, it certainly doesn't feed back into their training.

---

So yeah, I think it's a training set issue, and the reason children don't need this is because they have capabilities the LLMs lack. This would be a workaround.

I'm much less familiar with writing fiction but there are continuity errors, abrupt jumps that just lose a reader, errors of logic, organizational problems of various kinds.

But even if you can mostly avoid that kind of thing whether in fiction or non-fiction, you absolutely need a copyeditor who will carefully look for typos, grammatical errors, spelling and capitalization of company names, etc.
I don't disagree with that. I've argued with all my kids' ones at least once!
Radiologist here. We actually put patients in LPO (left side down oblique on your back ) followed by RPO to elicit reflux to catch it on the xray camera.

The opposite is RAO (right side down on belly oblique), when we want to show the opposite esophageal emptying into the stomach.

But any one position is probably not good to maintain for a long time. That’s why patients on respirators get turned so they don’t develop pressure ulcers.

Personally I have found 15-20 minutes prone (on my belly) is helpful reducing fatigue after intense exercise.

I understand where this guy was coming from with the comment about Tauri being the same type of thing, but when you really take a look at Tauri, it seems to really hold up. There are some Tauri apps that have performance that is easily on par with native.

The only thing is that Tauri apps seem to be quite easy for the developer to botch and end up with performance problems. One of the worst performing apps I ever used in my life was a Tauri app.
