They're "stackless" coroutine, you can only "yield" at the toplevel (where the switch can resume), and each coroutine function can only animate one coroutine because the state is global (it's a static).
Thanks for the list! Incidentally for a library that does one thing you might check out wasgen (which TFA is basically a GUI for). In short you give it a description of an arbitrary audio graph and parameters, and it builds all the nodes for you and then disposes them afterwards. So very suitable to build more complicated audio apps on top of.
I think what he said is if twitter wishes to be a publisher they should be treated as such. What they want to be is NOT a publisher but a platform since different rules apply to platforms than are applied to publishers.

Many? Arm Ltd designed Armv8-a chips fall into three tiers:

• Support AArch32 at EL0-EL3 (everywhere)

• Support AArch32 at EL0 (user mode)

• No AArch32 support

The most fielded cores fall into the first category. The newer cores - A76 and it’s contemporaries IIRC - fall into the second category. Only it’s recently disclosed data center cores fall into the third category.

8M Have Slipped into Poverty Since May as Federal Aid Has Dried Up
I would encourage folks to resist the urge to put up blinders based on the URL. Particularly where, as here, the source is just collecting publicly-available documents and links. You’re not being asked to trust the author’s synthesis of a bunch of facts. You can check the underlying links yourself. Obviously conservative organizations have more of an incentive to compile this sort of thing. That doesn’t make it in and of itself unreliable.

Also, “conservative” and “liberal” are relative terms. Journalists are vastly more liberal than the public as a whole, so any news outlet that covers things from a middle ground perspective is labeled “conservative.”

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/media-bias-lef...

In an ASU study of financial journalists, people who labeled themselves “very liberal” or “liberal” outnumbered those who labeled themselves “conservative” or “very conservative” 13:1.

I’m not saying that this makes liberal reporters bad, or biased in the sense of willful prejudice. But liberals and conservatives have different assumptions, have different sets of facts they consider salient to different issues, etc. When a liberal reporter covers Sanders’ suggestion of $60,000 minimum teacher pay, the facts that come to mind might be things like how the income gap between teachers and other college-educated professionals is bigger in the US than in other countries. To a conservative, the first thing that might come to mind is that US teachers are already paid well above the OECD average. Both facts are true (American teachers are paid more than British teachers, but American programmers are paid a lot more). These differences inevitably come out in the reporting. Just because an outlet is writing from a conservative point of view doesn’t mean it’s trying to manipulate or deceive people.
Ideally, one entity should know the user's identity, and the user can choose what information that entity can make public. Most sites don't need to know a user's legal name, though they may need to know that the user doesn't have a duplicate account and, perhaps, some detail, such as, in the case of Glassdoor, their emloyer.
Or that any field of engineering doesn't have a long list of things that 'are a drag'. I've had no end of people tell me, when The Drag is getting to me, that this is part of why we are paid so well.

I don't necessarily agree, I think it's more to do with market value of output, but a large number of people feel that way. Where we do always agree is that there are Things Which Must Be Done, even when you don't wanna.

Greetings All,

I'm building sqwok.im.

It's a new public, open, and simple discussion site that mixes real-time messaging with topical conversation.

On sqwok, every post has a built-in chat room instead of traditional comments. We feel that this leads to a different dynamic when having conversations around topics, and is much more intimate.

I started building Sqwok to scratch my own itch after a period where I was reading a lot of news online, and working in the news industry. I couldn't find many places to have open, public, realtime discussions about what was going on in the world. The best web-based chat sites right now were built to target gamers, the gaming community, streaming, enterprise, or solely as private messaging apps.

Sqwok is built for a general audience who want to have ephemeral, long-lived, and engaging conversations with others across the internet, with low friction and ease of use.

All features developed for sqwok will only be to enhance the conversations.

Feel free to ask me any questions, thank you.
Like you, I am genuinely baffled by "WFH 4 days a week" arrangements (as compared to "WFH when you have errands that make it necessary", which is pretty common). If I have to come into the office 1 day a week, then I still have to foot the bill for a home office within driving range of the office, which sucks.

I think at once a quarter you're starting to look at the ability to live on the other side of the country and fly in when necessary, which I think is much more price efficient.

Do you have any proof they came from the laptop and not a hacked icloud account or insert many other possible sources?

Pretty obvious the guy who claimed to have obtained the laptop is fabricating the whole story:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-who-reportedly-gave-hunter...
This story comes up at least every week, plus more often if there is a stock crash, a big or techy IPO, the fed sneezes, or basically anything happens.

The reasons are always the same:

* the fed is printing money

* you buy FUTURE cashflow/price not current ones

* "profit" is taxed, so no company makes it if it can avoid it. That doesn't make their revenue is less than a expenses though (see also using share buy backs to avoid multiple levels of taxation).

* its often better for companies to spend excess cash than to hand it over (and thus let the government take 20 to 60% of it)

* idiots like buying shiney things and that includes shares sometimes

* the market can remain wrong longer than you can afford to be right (see for instance the last 20 plus years)

* if something has dropped 50% then gone up 20%, you'll hear that it's up 20%! In a pandemic/financial crisis/recession/whatever. Not that it's actually down 40% (that's right, 40% not 30%, that's how percentages work).

As a european, to me it’s amazing the amount of disinformation we’ve been fed about how the US works.

Spend enough time in both continents and you’ll see that the proposition that the US is somehow more corrupt is not only disingenuous, it’s also probably dead wrong.

I guess that further bolsters the point that FOSS isn't a cure-all for ed tech. A for-profit company that can reduce training costs by half would be much cheaper than a FOSS solution that requires more training.

Training is expensive.

Hello Sean!

You are totally right, in many cases splitting the chat in many sub-parts can improve loading time.

It is something we tried during our optimization batch.

We figured that it wasn’t improving so much the loading time in our case. Saving around 10KB.

In fact our JS size is 80KB and CSS 30KB. The rest are fonts.

We offer an option for our customers to delay the chat. It’s a built-in feature. Not enabled by default.

About landing pages, you are totally right. SVGs make a real difference.

> No, the entire point of critiquing the author's qualifications is to break apart the idea that, because the author is well-spoken, they are therefore correct or even reasonable. If the author had declined to publish a miniature biography beside the article, then I would not have said anything. I haven't, for example, examined the rest of his body of work; I don't have any predictions to make about what else he may have written.

So basically you make an attack ad personam because it is effective way to win the discussion. It is not enough to dismantle his argument, you have also to make him unreliable source of knowledge. For my part, I haven't noticed the little bio, but I know it's a common practice to show a short info about the author under his article. It's a two edge sword, some readers may be impressed, some may feel like you.

> but it's completely wrong to say that humans have two biological sexes

So I guess saying that humans have two arms and five fingers per hand is also completely wrong. You know that due to strange genetic conditions, some people are born with more fingers, etc.? Some people get Down syndrome due to an extra chromosome, but still it's correct to say that humans have 20 chromosomes. It doesn't mean that there are no exceptions and doesn't dehumanize those exceptions.

I believe you're oversensitive in this area, but I guess you already told me why.
This article from two years ago describes the "75 cent dollar store" as an analogy for MoviePass which is basically the same idea:

> expressions are crucial in functional programming, where even an if-statement returns a value

Yes, but in functional programming, expressions can't have side effects, so the problem that the article is discussing in that part doesn't even exist.
The usual problems are caused by the non-native controls: no built-in affordances like spell checking and all the OS-specific behaviors, no easy way to plug in accessibility, and the non-native look and feel.

All this is totally fine for a game UI, and is a much harder sell for productivity software.

Hey Mitchell,

It's an interesting idea, but as a Devops Lead, I'm not sure this is any where near our biggest pain point. We've been in the midst of a Devops transition from manually managed EC2 and chef towards CI/CD and infrastructure as code for two years. Terraform solves one of our biggest problems - consistently representing infrastructure as code. But Waypoint won't solve the other. In fact, Waypoint doesn't seem to touch on anything that's actually much of a problem.

The deployment step isn't the problem - it's everything surrounding it. See, we're not on CI or CD yet. We're working our way towards them from a legacy system. In that intervening time, what we need is a generalized build tool that provides the ability to do CI or CD, but also allows you to just write general build and deployment pipelines that allow you to gradually automate that process and run them manually outside the context of an automatically triggered pipeline. We've been in this stage for two years, and the only tool that actually does this coherently is Jenkins. But Jenkins is an absolute nightmare to work with on many levels. Our only other real alternative would be to cobble together a mess of bash/python/nodejs scripts or use chat ops. There isn't a good solution in this space.

Gaia Pipeline, an open source project in development by a small team lead by a Hashicorp engineer, looks like it could be our long wished for Jenkins killer. I'd really love to hear your thoughts on whether Hashicorp might be willing to throw its full weight behind it: https://github.com/gaia-pipeline

Chatboxes seem fairly unobjectionable, what really grinds my gears is chat bubbles on landing pages. If I'm on a landing page, the last thing I want is a distraction ping and a bunch of notifications trying to boost "engagement." Easiest way to get me to bounce off a page.

Thanks for the link, interesting to read :-)

Hmm yes maybe in a way, some organizations can be "immune" to becoming more ethical / less depraved

Maybe the way to handle that, is to start another organization and try to out complete the wicked one
Completely disagree. You just don’t like like Taibbi because you wear your politics on your sleeve and you just don’t like some of the things he’s uncovered in recent years. He’s just part of the prior generation of journalists with the old goals and a great writer with a great sense of humor. The “blood funnel” line about Goldman Sachs was both creative and hilarious.

Sturgeon’s law (most stuff is crap) does little to shed light on the massive CHANGES to journalism in recent years. Of course 90%+ don’t even realized it like you.
I have worked for a large company that told employees to go write 5* positive reviews on GD. I suspect it is a common practice.

this just provides GD to turn into a Yelp of sorts that can do the 'reputation management' on the side.

Sigh, I have come to believe that its impossible for the profit motive companies to stay neutral in long term, esp if thats their main revenue source.

I wonder if there is a publicly funded entity that is also responsible for public good that can & should run something like this. but then if widely adopted that has a high probability of turning into china/black-mirror style reputation system.
I agree that star reviews are not very helpful, but text reviews absolutely can be. It's true that there might be some fake reviews in there, and that some people are posting in the heat of the moment and will give a biased perspective, but read enough of them and you can get a feeling for common themes that impact certain types of people.

Steam is a great example. If you click through to the person who made the review, you can also look at other games they own or other things they reviewed to get a sense the kind of person they are. If they're like you, then their review is probably going to be more helpful to you. If they're very much NOT like you, then that's a useful data point too.

I think one of the special challenges with Glassdoor is that reviewers are anonymous, in order to protect them from career-related backlash. This makes it harder to understand if a particular reviewer's experience is something that will also affect you. But if you think about it, that is a real indictment of the state of workplace relations - workers are at such a structural disadvantage that they are terrified of sharing candid views about current or even former employers in a way that could come back to bite them.

I know i've gone out of my way to try to avoid putting identifying information into Glassdoor, and even toned down some criticism as insurance just in case the employer did figure out who i was. That's not a good thing - it only serves to make my review less helpful! This is all the more reason why it's so disappointing to me that Glassdoor has openly shifted to be a service focused on corporate branding - employers already had all the power to start with.
Separate from the review issue, but does it seem that Glassdoor's salary estimates are low? The estimates in Glassdoor seem lower than those in levels.fyi, e.g., although it's hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison. It may also be because those who are lower paid are more likely to post, but it also seems worth pointing out that it would be in management's interest to report a lower salary estimate.

From this I get you mean "word of mouth" in a very physical way? As in "my cousin Jane says..."?

Because "Word of mouth" over the internet would imply that The Internet still has a big role to play in disintermediation.

Would "reviews" from your network, any network, physical, or digital, of people you know, be valuable? I believe that a "review" is only useful if you know the reviewer well enough. Regardless of the medium.

For example, when "angry uncle Joe" rants about some libtard-foreigner-restaurant-scum which is ruining the neighborhood with their horrible foreign food, I know how to take that 'review' of the restaurant. Same when aunt Carol explains how she heard from the new boyfriend of the cousin of Foo that her brother said that she heard from.. and so on. But when a friend who knows a lot about fintech explains that SomeBank is really doing a lot of interesting tech and hiring, I also know how to take that.

If you know who the "review" comes from, you can trust it. Otherwise you cannot. I assume this comes down to "word of mouth", though.
The dark web markets actually figured out a good way to solve reviews. 1. Only people who bought a product can review it. 2. the review includes how much was paid. 3. Heavily encourage everyone who buys the product to review it.
racists?
While RFC 7946 dropped support in GeoJSON for arbitrary CRS designation, the original 2008 standard supported it. It's a lovely interoperability problem that sometimes some applications will still produce GeoJSON in a CRS that isn't WGS84 and you get to shuffle it between tools until you get RFC 7946 compliant GeoJSON. There's obviously a small irony that in dropping CRS support to improve interoperability they added interoperability issues between "versions" of GeoJSON and what year an implementation was built and whether or not it support GeoJSON 2008 CRSes (and how it supports them because GeoJSON 2008 "kindly" let you specify the CRS at the FeatureCollection level, the Feature level, and the Geometry level and who knows what it meant when all three disagreed for the same Feature, so RFC 7946 was right to drop it because it was definitely a mess).

Nope. Water has a surface that basically applies force relative to how fast you're going. If you go slow the water displaces and nothing happens, if yo slap the water it stings your hand, if you hit the water at terminal velocity you may as well hit concrete because it can't displace fast enough for you to sink so your body decelerates rapidly from terminal velocity to a much slower sink leading to massive amounts of internal damage.
> IMO they shouldn’t allow reviews on public company profiles until there is a critical mass of reviews such that any 1 review won’t dramatically swing the star rating

Are you this accomodating towards potential employees? Such as, if a potential employee got a single very bad recommendation from one past employer, or one negative past online experience or reputation hit?

I don't know, you may well be, but I suspect most companies are not.

Most reasonable people will take the size of a company into consideration when looking at reviews on GlassDoor (at least in the last, looks like it's no longer worth looking at now). So a single bad review for a small company would not be a deal breaker for me. It's the patterns I look for.

Hopefully, you're doing the same when hiring.
Dude, that's a ponzi scheme with a few extra steps...

Jokes aside, this is also why there are so many "haters" for such companies. A lot are the ones pointing this out since it's clear as day. But hey, people like their high horse.
