Look I'll be blunt: you handle this by being grateful. The alternative is that you could be without a job and a paycheck and struggling to figure out how to pay your bills. I live in Nashville. We got hit with a devastating tornado at the start of March that put a good number of people out of work followed by the safer at home order that increased the number of people out of work. Some of those people live in the same apartment I do and I see them struggling with how they will pay for things.

You have a job, you have a paycheck and it sounds like you are remote so you get to work from hopefully a lower cost of living area. Save your money, sign up for You Need A Budget and learn where and how you can cut costs.

This probably won't be the last time something like this happens. So instead of throwing a pity party, do the things needed to make this a non event. Things like living in a lower cost of living area, cutting your expenses, having a robust and resilient emergency fund and be grateful you still have a job while millions have no idea when they will go back to work or how they are going to pay their bills.

I could start a "news" organization and allow anyone to affiliate. We'd publish articles on our online newspaper once a week. Maybe hire a correspondent to be part of the White House press pool.

Well they forgot to list Slackware. It does not use systemd either.

edit: just read it again, it is a list of OS he likes, so it was not an omission :)
I've had two service items with my Tesla, and each left me very unsatisfied because I had very basic and quick questions that the app would not answer (e.g. how long is this expected to take?) but there was no way that I could talk to a human at Tesla. They have optimized their system to prevent any human to human contact unless it's in store.

However, as bad as that experience was, it was faaaaaaaar better than any dealership interaction I've every had. I would never go back, even though I disliked the Tesla experience.

Even if Tesla wasn't an electric car, I'd be tempted to use them just to avoid the dealership experience.

If you have a branch which always builds and tests green, you can add a new test, choose a red commit and a green commit and run `git bisect` in a loop to automatically get to the commit that caused the behaviour in that test to regress.

The linux world is busy getting shit done. Ignore the children arguing over init systems.
Could be a pretty good deal.
> I'd say the origination costs angle kills this. There is high pressure to keep the tender process high-bureaucracy from all sides, so you can scale single projects into many dollars but you can't start many projects.

That's the status quo. It sucks, therefore find a way to blow it up. Make it so that it doesn't work. Require the contractor to buy cost overrun insurance from an insurance company which obligates the insurance company to pay someone else to finish the entire job if the original contractor exceeds the budget by a penny, then let it be the insurance company's problem to figure out how to make the company come in on budget or contract the job out to someone else who can.

Once you blow up the bad thing (making construction projects exceed their budgets), the path of least resistance to more construction jobs becomes the good thing (many more construction projects that meet their budgets). But you have to blow up the bad thing first or it remains the status quo.

Geez, you're really off base on a lot of these comments. But to start somewhere:

> $1,200 in tax from 4,000 digital nomads is...$5,000,000. Thailand's economy generates $500,000,000,000 a year.

How are you only measuring direct tax income? They're spending foreign earned income on Airbnbs, hostels, bars, restaurants, likely multiples more than the average local, to the point that many successful businesses in Southeast Asia would cease to exist without a steady stream of these people.

> want to optimize for people who want to stay long term, adopt their values, become part of the social fabric

These countries don't want these people as permanent residents. As other posters pointed out, part of the unspoken contract is that they're leaving at some point. They come, they spend, and they leave before they get old and sick. If they were really taking more in services than they spent into GDP, the visa situations would change very quickly.

> What's more, the arguments all have a whiff of colonialism to them.

Please go travel to an immigration office in a third world country and see if you feel like you're exercising your white privilege. Officials in these countries tolerate travelers to the point that they're making out economically, but know they are in control. There's no subservience.

> there are effectively zero digital nomads who aren't white men

Sounds like you need to get involved in different social circles. I've seen the split to be about 50/50 gender-wise.

I think the author misses the single biggest advantage of `identifier: Type`.

The moment `Type identifier` syntax encounters higher order functions and types, you end up with messes of parenthesis. Figuring out what a type means then involves bouncing back and forth across the type definition.

With `identifier: Type` complex higher order types still parse linearly left to right.

It's enough of a UI issue that people will end up avoiding higher order functions in `Type identifier` languages simply because they're a mess to express.

The rules that govern what individual employees are allowed to do privately with the information they come across in the course of their work which belongs to their employer are very different to the rules that govern what the company itself is allowed to do with the information it has access to.

Of course you couldn't personally beneficially trade on information you accessed in the course of your employment (although primarily that would be a breach of your employment terms, not necessarily a breach of the law...)

But that says nothing whatsoever about what you can do with that information to benefit the company.

Windows and Mac OS are not on the list either. Haiku is, so this is not a Linux list. Pretty much arbitrary.
I tend to disagree. It might be possible to do something like this, but it'd certainly be hard, as the initial public perception will be "nothing works" - that's a pretty dangerous way of entering the feedback loop.

Apple isn't Microsoft, but their consistent failure attempting something like this may be a tale of caution.

It looks like Lyft is making the internship remote as well (from other posts on this thread), so cost-of-living in SF is not a factor.
And what credit this lobste does to the Republic of Serbia. I hope they pay their taxes there.
Yes! The one you created.
If you're already working 4-5hours a day (as in actual working) you are giving all to the company. If you answer silly mails or check Reddit or whatever the other 3 hours is actually not a big deal and not a big dip into your productivity. Not a black hole by any means.

If you think otherwise you are not only being "dumb" (compared to the "street-smart company"), you are being an economical irrational agent, so you will naturally be taken advantage of and get worst (not better) returns (not only money, things, like health, free time, meeting a SO, raising a family) in the long term.

The fact that you willfully go to that extreme only shows how toxic is the Calvinistic worldview implanted in many people in the anglo western world and how companies ruthlessly exploit it.
Maybe I'm just out of the loop but what is the controversy regarding systemd?
So from the "facts" Ive read on the internet, a reputable source, Musks girlfriend is mad at him. Maybe he has a self destructive streak. Maybe he is bored and wants a new problem to solve. Maybe he has substance abuse issues.

That said, I dont know what compels people to tweet things that just end up complicating their lives. Twitter seems to be a helluva drug to some people. Maybe the fact that my dormant account has like 4 followers is a blessing...
I remember reading my offer and there was a line that goes like this "only the CEO has the power to sign contract". and everybody else's offer are "at-will".

It’s not about suburban shopping malls, it’s about urban ones.

Traditional car dealerships need someplace to store all the new and used cars which quickly gets into hundreds of cars sitting around. Showrooms on the other hand can get away with representative samples which requires vastly less space. That means they can afford locations with vastly higher costs per square foot.
Microsoft has an x86 emulation, so it seems to be okay. It notably doesn't work with 64 bit software. From what I've been able to gather the issue is technical, but I'm very uncertain about it.
I suppose, depending where you live, local laws may provide more assurances if something goes wrong with the order. Here in Australia at least you are not obligated to deal with anyone other than whoever took your money.

Though in my experience most AliExpress sellers are friendly and willing to refund or work through issues anyway. I've had fewer bad surprises on there than Amazon.
Tracking Covid-19 in the US
Underrated comment. You’re on the money.
My intended point about the CCP was that their censorship is often a hint about what is true and embarrassing (or even destabilizing to the regime) and this is beyond the pale. I did not intend to make some strong claims about the absolute veracity of rumors on Chinese social media; rather, I tried to convey (and I admit that my success at this was clearly mediocre) that censorship is often a clue about where to look for the truth.

I don't really put much stock into the idea that this particular woman was patient zero. But it doesn't exactly matter.

A better example would have been a case everyone knows about and that is uncontroversial: that of Dr. Li Wenliang. He told the truth that the virus was a coronavirus and probably similar to the original SARS virus, but it was inconvenient to the state, and so he was hauled in by the police for "making false comments on the Internet."

If I amended my initial comment and simply used the uncontroversial case of Dr. Li, rather than discussions about the WCDC or Wuhan Institute of Virology, I think it stands to reason that I would not have been accused of "Gish galloping" (thank you for teaching me a new phrase, by the way).

Not that you'll believe it, but I really had no intention of overwhelming you or anyone else with rumors as a distraction; I was trying to add a couple of examples to illustrate An asymmetry between American and Chinese censorship.
Yes, this. I was doing local networking in February and March but that ended abruptly.

0% has been common for years. 2015-2018 they were super common. Only the automaker offers these loans, and it's because they just take the loss out of their profit margin.
For the sake of comparison, $4,800/month (mentioned by another commenter) is $57,600 extrapolated to a full year, or 1.7x the median US salary. That's the median for all US workers, so it includes mid-career professionals, not just college students. There are people as smart and capable as you making less than $15/hour all across the country - and, for that matter, people who got laid off from those $15/hour jobs and didn't send their rent checks today. Have some perspective, be grateful that you're in such a fortunate position to begin with, and recognize this setback as the minor speedbump that it is.
Yep, I played Genesys games in 1999 on K5-166 or something like that.

I wish this site would allow me to self-detach my own sub-thread. There are things I'd like to say which might not be wholly aligned with the site guidelines. At least most people seem to be ignoring our conversation. :) I'll just say that I don't disagree with this sentiment.

>If you or me said the things he said, we'd be considered idiots by our peers.

Absolutely true.

>the benefit of the doubt has been granted way too many times for there to be any further doubt that this guy is anything other than a buffoon!

I think you are simply saying that it is well established that Trump is a buffoon. Granting that premise, I still believe we should each investigate the veracity of any subsequent claims about him before accepting them as true. And push back if they prove false.
Povray has a nasty problem though - it cannot generate scenes from stdin. The file has to be on the disk.
That Bank of England case seems to have been handled as a breach of the terms of the contract between the Bank and the supplier, not as a criminal matter. The referral to the Financial Conduct Authority might suggest that the hedge funds that purchased access to the feed might have breached some regulations by using a service whose existence was not sanctioned by the Bank... but it's definitely not clear to me that any of the same sort of relationships as exist between the BoE, regulated hedge funds, and a tech company with a supply contract with the Bank, also exist in any meaningful way between Elon Musk, Twitter, and Tesla...

Sorry to hear that. That's an interesting choice to make on Lyft's part, to cut duration and salary rather than cancel entirely. For the interns, I hope there's enough structure and guidance to make it worthwhile.

I had an internship cancelled a few years ago, in 2017. Etsy replaced their CEO and laid off a large portion of their employees, and cancelled our internships along the way. The message to us was along the lines of, "It's not about the money; it's going to be chaotic around here for a little while, and it wouldn't be a good or useful experience as an intern." And they backed it up by paying out a stipend of a significant fraction of what the entire summer's pay would have been, which they really didn't have to do. At that time there was a bit of a scramble, but within a couple weeks all of us would-be interns got picked up by other companies, and looking back, this unlucky turn of events completely changed the course of my career, as I ended up interning with the SRE team at Squarespace and discovering a new world.

I really respect Etsy in making the tough call at the time to cancel outright (and pay a stipend) instead of dragging things on. But of course, in today's environment where all companies are affected instead of just one, it seems much less likely that Lyft's interns would be able to find other internships. So maybe this halfway measure will work out better.

Best of luck to the Lyft interns and their mentors - hopefully you can make the best of an unfortunate situation.
It's far more likely that he held some options that became worthless due to the sudden drop in the stock price. I love Elon and his vision but tweeting that was irresponsible.
The format plists used before XML was very JSON-like. It had its own set of issues, however.
Starting this off with a disclaimer that these are things I've heard or read, and aren't necessarily a statement of my views.

The controversy mainly surrounds the claim that it is a single package that tries to do way too much by itself.

Calling systemd an init system isn't correct. systemd contains many things, one of which is an init system.

The other claim is that the systemd developers aren't open to much outside opinion, but have power over the community because important parts of basically all desktop Linux systems are now part of systemd and have strong dependencies on it (such as udev).
Well, there are many complexities. People here are talking about the Programming Complexity (of which one measure is Cyclomatic Complexity) of a textual program vs. the Time/Space complexity of the same program. There is the weakly-related concept of the Kolmogorov complexity of a string.

It's obvious that the time/space complexity of a program can stay fixed while you arbitrarily raise the programming complexity of a program by arbitrarily raising the number of branches that are rarely taken, an action that won't affect the asymptotic time complexity of a thing.

And sure, you can talk about the Kolmogorov complexity of a string of computer code, but the minimal string representation of that code is unlikely to be one that a programmer would describe as simple. Even minimizing the string that would behave as that of the original program is usually non-desirable.

Short with the principal on a car?

Here is what needs to happen: the vast majority of people need a steady job that sees them afford a car. They need to not be "financially literate" because the vast majority of options open to them are not financial footguns, and we need a world where playing financial games doesn't make or break a person.

What was it Henry Ford did?

a. gave all his workers a Robinhood account so they could play derivatives and try to afford one of his cars

b. paid his workers enough to buy a car

The market may be small, but people do read them. An interesting proxy for estimating the effectiveness of ads will be to look at the hiring section (which might be gone?). Physics Today now has more competition from online physics-jobs websites, though.

I did a big retrospective study that you could compare with however many job-ads are in PT these days: https://measuredmass.com/2012/09/20/whats-the-state-of-the-a...

Mathworks has been sponsoring full-page ads with them for years, as has Hamamatsu. They must think they're getting their money's worth.

I look at the ads as a way to keep up with new developments. When SRS has a new product, or a small cryo vendor has a new doodad, it is a good way to see what's new. It does come up occasionally in a group meeting: "Hey, looks like you're trying to do X. I saw a thing in Physics Today that does Y, which, if you bend it funny, and add a line, is an X.... "
I never finished the book but I got that impression too.
