The biggest factor for RTO/Hybrid for most, is that they moved to a lower cost area. I was in South Bay - bough a 70 year old just before pandemic - a small house for a lot of money. I found a huge, value for money house, 1.5 hours away from the south bay, for far less and sold off my south bay one.

There's no way I'm coming back to south bay and pay more in rent for a small apartment than I pay in mortgage. Even hybrid is a pain with commute totaling 3-4 hours on weekdays

I started C++ firmware development last year coming from Ruby/Java background. Boy, I was so impressed - completely shattering the previous impression built in my college - 2005 or so. The C++ compiler seems so advanced and lets you do so many things like compile time checks. Built a framework for all our embedded development with thing like compile time checks, type safe abstractions over freertos threads/queues etc

Would there be a setting to disable this for consensual “groping” ?

Why would the planet be destroyed or have it's course altered ? The Star's mass remains the same and so does the gravity. Wouldn't the planet's own gravity hold it up when it's engulfed, and retrain shape when the star becomes a white dwarf ?

Greenland will soon be green

Good luck with everything !

Wow ! I wonder if cherry would sell these switches for standalone keyboards

What happened to memristor based storage revolution ?

Anyone looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard - I can't recommend Logitech G913 more. Especially if it's employer sponsored. Low profile, compact and great switches. Love it :)

Can pi hole do device specific blocking ?

What do you do when you aren’t productive? Is there anything else you enjoy outside work where you feel productive?

I had already transferred all my stocks from Robinhood to my company provided Fidelity account sometime back after reading about their shady practices last year:

How do vertical farms compensate for minerals ?

What qualifies a land as farmland ? Is there actual farming going on ? Can I meet Bill Gates in a farmers market selling his produce ?

Isn’t Obama too complicit in this? He even failed to acknowledge the problem exists, let alone do anything about Rick Snyder

I thought this mutes(disables) the inbuilt keyboard on my macbook. Would be super helpful for me since my son randomly presses key on my macbook keyboard while I'm trying to type from my external keyboard.

Still, a slick utility. Good luck !!

Would it be linoleum ?

Get it ? Coleseum - Linoleum :)

Git is really simple at the core and fun to poke around with. I gave a talk in RubyConf India about poking with git internals using ruby.

It was fun. Link for anyone interested(not very high quality but watchable):

My LG Ultrawide 5k2k monitor has TB3 and two USB3.0 ports hub on the back. I can change source for the hub from TB3 to USB B input in the back. TB3 goes to my mac. My linux workstation is connected to the displayport and usb b.

To switch between machines, I just change display and usb hub source. I do this from monitor menu right now, but should be scriptable with dpcc , I recently discovered.

When are we getting dark mode for Hacker News ?

Plant based isn't always the best option for nutrition and environment. In fact with regenerative agricultural practices, holistic management and grass fed/finished cows, more carbon can be captures in solid than released.

Looks like Biden would be able to fulfill his promise of not changing anything: https://www.salon.com/2019/06/19/joe-biden-to-rich-donors-no...

If the same situation persists in 2016 like the deep economical divide, we may even see another Trump like figure rising

The prices of bay area homes aren't dropping still. Looks like this migration is still temporary.

Your careers page is broken :(

I read this as Python V2 and thinking why would they make V2 faster than V3 :D

Reminds of this podcast below which sheds light on the theory of cognitive dissonance. About how people justify their actions to reduce cognitive dissonance - basically sleep at night.
