News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It's interesting I just finished reading an article about a very similar topic on overpopulation that argues that we're past the point where we have enough land to feed the population using organic methods: https://open.substack.com/pub/depopulism/p/in-defense-of-eff...

Mathematically the minimum number of elements necessary for a pattern is three.

Thanks! :D

Really like the quote and your website. I've had a good play around with your "find a random blogger from Hacker News" project.

Re:What Tech Workers Don't Understand They've Lost by WFH on Tuesday August 09, 2022 @08:20AM (#32396843)
Hi, I'm the author. I'm a Data Scientist and I spend most of my time doing data analysis in Jupyter Notebooks or coding up ML algorithms.

For me I find it helpful being in an office as at home by myself it's way too easy to get sucked into the rabbit hole of YouTube or the Productivity Porn on Hacker News. For me it helps feeling like I'm part of a team and I don't want to let my team down.

As a Data Scientist working at a Publicly Listed Company I've really started to feel siloed and alienated by WFH. I think that my colleagues feel the same, but they just don't voice it. Shameless plug but, I wrote a blog post about it on my personal website here: https://michaelgv.uk/posts/2022/08/what-tech-workers-dont-un...
