It'd be funny if they ended up with bugs in their systems that only show up if the systems aren't turned off often enough.

It sounds like we’re aligned that that subreddit is in danger because of its political opinions, not its communication style? Which is exactly counter to Yishan’s claims.

Fair enough. I’m hesitant to name the subreddit because mentions of it only hasten its decline.

Sorry for keeping it vague. The communities loves to write endless heapings of words, so I’m sure if and when it is banned, much ink will be spilled. Perhaps another member of the community will recognize which it is I am talking about (there is overlap with the HN crowd) and be able to summarize better than I.

I think Yishan wrong, at least in the case of Reddit.

> They would like you to stop squabbling over stupid shit and causing drama so that they can spend their time writing more features and having to adjudicate your stupid little fights.

There is a community on Reddit that is currently at risk of being banned according to the admins. The community is a heavily moderated location to respectfully discuss controversial topics, one that is fairly insular and doesn’t advertise itself, and takes pride in respectful and nuanced discussion.

They regularly have innocuous posts removed, while nearly all posts with truly dangerous ideas stay up — we can attribute that to one-off moderation errors, but repeated threats from the admins cannot be.

The admin threats seem related to a specific issue which is not even in the top five most controversial things discussed on the subreddit. They’ve made it clear that any discussion on the topic is unacceptable, no matter how civil.

(Whether it's a good idea or not,) people often use stars as a quick-and-dirty proxy for "is this repo reasonably well trusted?" and "how big is the community for this project?". All else being equal, many people would default to using a repo with 20,000 stars over a repo with 20.

It appears it’s built into Mullvad and possibly others

Does anyone else feel their brain “heat up” when doing intensive thinking like this?

One option could be to use an array of microphones to detect the source of the loud noise

They link some comparisons [0], including the PS4 controller which has a 13ms input delay. Switch controller really is 10x slower, oof.

I believe the type you're looking for is `[]` (a tuple with no elements) instead of `never[]`.

The phrase is ubiquitous not in spite of its controversial nature, but rather _because of_ it.

Yeah, 10-15% of users opting out of anything is incredibly high.

This is a game changer, thank you!

Yup. Setting up a trust is the best way to do this.

Many solutions here suggesting physical storage mechanisms which defeats the whole purpose of hosting a widely and public accessible document.

A trust would have the finances and most aligned incentives to keep the content online and in a format that is accessible.

Many other solutions involve telling your children to tell their children to ... etc. But again, you have no incentive to give a damn about the whims of someone who died 300 years ago, and it only takes one uncaring child to cut the chain short.

A trust's hefty financial incentives can keep anyones incentives aligned.

It makes sense that there's sexy technical solutions here (we're on Hacker News), but the most important thing is to keep the incentives aligned. That's what a trust is for.

Not blocking on typecheck failures is one of my favorite features of TypeScript -- you can rapidly test/debug/iterate on code with "broken" or incomplete types while in the prototyping stages of feature development.

That would only be true if it were 380 _unique_ contacts per person. Surely there is significant overlap from user to user.

I would've guessed it had appeared before, but nope never on it's own before

>I hope we both will continue to have a plentiful choice of workplaces where we can work in the style that's best for each of us.

100% agreed! The sudden industry-wide acceptance of WFH is very welcome, and I'm glad that you and people like you are gaining many more options for WFH-friendly employers.

There's a good chance I'll develop a strong WFH preference over the years as my life priorities change, too. Always nice to have options.

You sound overly dismissive and uncharitable. There are many opportunities that occur when one doesn’t need to turn every conversation into a 30 min video call. As one example, my office (like many others) provides lunch.

Wait, who in tech is starting work at 8am? My average day starts around 10. 10x is an exaggeration to be sure, but I will happily defend 5x.

“BS propaganda”? What would I possibly have to gain by lying…? Other people are allowed to have differing perspectives and opinions.

I’d maybe get 1-2 hours of semi-productive time per day in. Write code 1 or 2 times per week. Honestly, I was pretty shocked at how I could get away with that and it was very demotivating to not have any reason to do more.

Now I’m firing on all cylinders for 7-9 hours a day, completing the entirety of a previous WFH day by 11 AM, and it feels _really_ good.

Eh, I love my company and I love my coworkers and I’m unbelievably excited to see them in person.

In fact, I’ve already started going back into the office (since April) and 1) my productivity is easily 5-10x what it was before 2) I’ve had amazing so many conversations that never happened over zoom — both productive and personal - and as more of our company’s employees return over the coming months I’m even excited for more.

Most other engineers here that I’ve talked to have expressed the same sentiment. Over 50% of our SF office (hundreds of employees) has already voluntarily signed up to return over the next few weeks.

Maybe I’ll switch to a WFH company when I’m ready to start a family or something, but for now — I love my team and I can’t wait to all be back together.

It’s one step closer, but still a good ways away.

- you still need to understand the code that copilot is writing, it just turns it from a recall/synthesis problem into a recognition problem

- most of the work above the level of a junior engineer isn’t about writing the actual code, it’s the systems design, architecture, communicating with external stakeholders, addressing edge cases, tech debt management, etc.

The output is great for a quick one-off script. Maybe if you make the comments look more “enterprise-y”, it’ll go for more careful code?

Seems like he understands the “free” in FOSS to mean free as in beer, not as in freedom.

Now imagining a literal chaos monkey running around a datacenter with a blowtorch, setting random racks on fire
