First, these are NOT normal work from home times. This is currently the worst time to experience what work from home is truely like.

Second, if your job requires a lot of face to face interaction them WFH will NOT be a good fit.

Third, if your org tries to do remote communication in the same way it does place based communication. It will not be a good fit.

BUT, if remote communication is first class citizen, conditions are back to the normal state of 4 months ago, your job duties are well suited to individual creative contributions, work from home CAN be a great fit.

I built a popular tool in the same niche [1]. I think your over complicating it. I got decision fatigue just trying to test it.

I recently discovered that the best way for me to communicate over Zoom when speaking is to not even look at the screen. I'll stare off into the distance and just focus on my words and thoughts.

Video and audio lag seems to short circuit the communication interrupt window that happens normally in person to person communication, although in large enough gatherings that fails even IRL.

Another thing is that the way Zoom gallery mode works is a bit unnatural in IRL. In normal P2P communication your only looking at one set of eyes balls at a time. All of the sudden you have several sets of eyeballs you can see all it once. This makes it more like public speaking and less like a small tribe meeting.

So long as structure and design overlap there will always be some inescapable coupling. The choice is deciding which one should master over the other.

Why aren't headlights and windshields polarized? [1] According to this it may be a chicken or the egg regulations problem as well as some trade-offs that may not be viable.

Fair point and I don't necessarily disagree. I don't like the consequences of superdeterminism, just playing devil's advocate. If we exchange simple ratios for fractals we could have compute based infinite precision. Precision would just be a matter of scale of the measurement.

But it is. Ratios can be infinity precise, albeit computationally intensive, but a computational universe has nothing else to do but compute!

> I hope we will see more sci-fi take the route of super-determinism as opposed to multiverse theory.

I just started watching DEVS on Hulu. Given your statement above you should check it out.

This always seemed like the easiest way to explain superdeterminism. It's a universe where the laws of physics do not permit you to generate a truly random number.

So basically we're all the same person we just think we're different people.

He means We (you, me, other humans) experience time passing consciously and sequentially.

We are on the inside of a 4 dimensional bulk. We are traveling through the temporal dimension.

As opposed to outside of it looking in. In which case we would "see" past, present, and future simultaneously.

I'd like to see the data on carbon footprint reductions associated with WFH. Also traffic related deaths would imaginably be reduced.

No one ever mentions concrete production [1] when ecological impact comes up. It's often absent from all analysis too. Like these poured structures just appeared one day.

You know there is a favorite function already right?

I recently built an HN client [1] to scratch an itch and try out the HN API. It caches data to SQL and redis.

It has never been shared and I only use it personally so expect lots of bugs.

I may open source the code after I clean it up.

The cat is out of the bag so to speak. On a personal level all we can do is hope we recover well and quick, if and when we are exposed. Every day you breath in millions of viruses. You don't die because you have an immune system that has earned you the privilege to survive on this planet. Short of a vaccine we're just waiting for the battle and the reward of a new skill in our immune systems armory.

That said, getting sick is terrible and it'd be great if we could nerf nature. I pray for everyone's health and recovery.

If you find metagame strategies interesting, you may enjoy Richard Dawkins book The Selfish Gene [1] and specifically Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS)[2]. Of course ESS takes place over a much longer timeline. Summary of ESS in this video by Veritasium [3].

If you're looking for another Zen like hobby, try soldering. You can get a Hakko iron [1] for $100 and fun kits [2] for under $20.

Few activities put me in a state of peaceful tranquility like soldering in quiet solitude. Summer nights soldering with the window open listening to crickets in the background. Heaven on Earth.

I wince every time I use application code to do what I know SQL can do faster and easier. ORMs are nice but it's often impossible to translate performant SQL into the ORM's API. SQL is just so concise.

So true. I'd almost consider it a kind of premature optimization.

Trying to nail down DRY abstractions not too early but not too late is often tricky but concern over it probably puts you in good company.

There are not sharp lines, just fuzzy boundaries.

We do have to discuss and reason about living creatures with other humans though, so it's helpful to name and categorize, just know that the names and categories are a human language construct, nothing more.

To be fair keeping around an old runtime of FrontPage isn't much different than keep around an old runtime of PHP.

The TL;DR;

Initial estimates of mortality rate are all over the place due to uncertainty in the data sets.

That said, the best estimate at the moment is around 2-3% and is subject to change as more data comes in.

. Bungie Straps

. Zip Ties

Not necessarily in that order.

What's the next best guess for a target now that the amyloid hypothesis seems to be a failure?

Modern front-end architecture has "fixed" the 1 second page load and replaced it with a 0.5 second page load... And a 3 second spinner... And a 1 second spinner... And a 4 second progress bar... But hey the TTFB is under 1s now!

Then why not put it in order while you're hand crafting it?

Your point got me thinking...

PHP arrays may have been one of the "killer features" that lead to it taking hold of the web. It's so frictionless, powerful, and you can bend them to your will with ease.

I have to disagree also.

The order inserted makes most sense in most cases. Hand crafting integer based array indexes out of order is rare. And as you say a simple ksort call guarantees sort order.

    ksort($arr);
    echo join($arr, ", ");
    // one, two, three
