They could find an investor willing to buy them out. Doesn't have to be an IPO.

Still, if you are happy with the amount of money you have and you have a business you enjoy running, why sell? This is probably their view of it.
YouTrack is pretty slow.
Probably. There are a lot of fields without any growth opportunity, we call it just a job. If you look at fields with growth opportunity they tend to warp into a pattern where a few participants are highly successful and everyone else is competing to do work for free.

When I started CS it was not yet approaching that pattern, it was still collecting burn outs from other STEM fields who liked to mess with complex systems. They pretty much all lived well because they were in the right place at the right time since they were done with any dream BS and just looked for something interesting that payed.

I love seeing those alternatives to x86, Intel an AMD showing up.
After long years of nothing exciting on the CPU side until AMD released Zen, now the M1 from Apple and this, hardware feels exciting again.
I also really like the fact that Ampere cpus are not something that will only live in one ecosystem (like the graviton that will, i guess, never exists outside of AWS or the M1 outside of Apple products).

I really hope something similar is going to show up for PC as well.

This makes me wonder. I suspect I have celiac's disease because anytime I consume gluten I have all of the unpleasant symptoms. I asked my GP whether I should get tested so that I could treat it and he said that if I've already solved it by removing gluten from my diet to just do that, because that's all the testing is going to tell me anyway.

However, there is one condition under which I can eat bread et al: when I've been riding bikes all day. I've never been quite sure what to make of it, figuring it could just be because I'm more dehydrated than usual, or higher metabolic rate somehow allows me to absorb nutrients that I would have a harder time handling while sedentary. Now I'm wondering if being flooded with endorphins just prevents or masks the inflammation associated with celiac's.

I wish there was more treatment available than a strict GF diet, because I really love all things stretchy and glutenous.
Is there a way to tell if an app is using the Facebook tracking SDK?
Stuff like 99% support flexbox and high % for grid makes working with layout so good.

Only wish "gap" property would be adopted easier to make working collapsing flex rows way easier.

> I’m sure you’re smart enough to figure it out

You are making it personal (well, actually trying to insult), where I was asking you to provide more value.
> you will obviously know if a campaign has been "effective", if sales increase.

This is simplifying marketing too much. You’re likely to run concurrent campaigns on different platform, Facebook, Instagram, Google Search, Twitter, etc.

Marketers would like to understand what campaigns and what medium helps drive sales/installs. No need to waste money on Twitter ads if it turns out no one actually ends up buying.
if JetBrains people are reading this, I want to say THANK YOU! You saved lots of developer time with IDE, then Kotlin language. I use Golang, Python and Database IDEs, and they are really nice and time saving, can't imagine how much time you guys saved to Java developers where everything is reflection based annotations and deep level of abstract class/interface implementations. (last time when I worked with Java in VSCode, it was almost useless for autocomplete, because too many things rely on annotation based code generation)

I thought I had the same brain dance bug but I just couldn’t find all the clues until I YouTube’d it. Maybe double check to ensure that might not be the issue.
Happy for Jetbrains, I have been using their products for years and they did increase my productivity.

Lately most of their producuts are suffering of atrocious performance issues, both on osx and linux [1], I hope that they manage to sort them out, because lots of people are now reverting to older versions.

Oh poor poor Facebook. Someone is finally coming around to turn off their despicable surveillance apparatus.

What a horrible company, run by horrible humans.
Correct. Also, you cannot with hold access upon users not consenting, so there's literally zero incentive for users to ever consent for compliant providers. Which is kinda obvious with the GDPR's overall goal of making it impossible to use privacy as currency.
I asked McCandless how accurate the simulations had been. It was he who had first proposed the MMU, and then he was involved in the design, and in setting up the simulations. He said the simulations were extremely accurate except for one detail.

The sound.

The MMU was constantly making little popping noises as it dynamically held position and attitude. That hadn't been included in the simulation, and it was initially very unsettling.

But he soon got used to it.

Amazing man, I'm glad I got to meet him, even if only briefly.
The only constant is change, which is why you always need to modify what you are learning and keep learning and growing. I've seen far too many aspiring developers being held back because they stubbornly held on to fundamentals. Companies don't care about "global variables" or technical debt, they have to make a profit, look after employees, survive pandemics, maintain ISO accreditation etc.
And from what I have seen her express, she wanted to use her presence to push an activist agenda.

Google is pretty woke already so while she might be right, she used and benefitted from that too.

This sounds like a non-event to me.
There's an interesting rumor that says AMD is building an ARM SoC for OEMs...
You can easily notice the difference in a battery after it has gone through 500 charge cycles, which can easily happen in 2 years.

You aren't forced to service users. You just cannot make consent the currency for your service. Either don't require consent or don't operate in the EU.
I'd say Android Studio and the whole gradle mess
They weren't founded in 2010, but in 2000.

I was a bit confused for a moment, because I distinctly remember using either IntelliJ or RubyMine in 2008.

I had no idea they were a Czech company with Russian founders though. Good to hear not everything comes from SV.

It's so, so much more than that. Even if the game had no bugs, it's nothing like what it was presented to be. And no, not by the 'fanboys' but by CDPR themselves.

I'd probably have bought the game on discount if I knew it was, much like Witcher 3, a mediocre game in most ways other than visuals, and in some ways actually a step down from their previous title.

But I bought this one on preorder because it was presented as not just 'The Witcher 3, but Cyberpunk and wonkier in most ways', but a game that would do an open world well, and so much more.

Normally I don't preorder games, but I gave CDPR the benefit of the doubt. The fact that Sony, of all companies, is actually offering refunds, should make it clear that this game is terrible. It's fine that you enjoy it, but why try to argue it's all 'blown out of proportion' or that 'fanboys expected too much'. Can't you just enjoy the game without needing validation?
Agreed- they also did discounts for long term users. I can't beer bothered too switch so pay happily because it's always seemed like fair treatment
John Le Carré through a psychological lens
To be honest, getting career advice from John Carmack is just like getting career advice from a lotto winner, not everyone has the luck/genius.
I’m sure is varies. The ones I’ve talked to really like the electric mode, but more importantly like spending less money on gas and time at petrol stations.
Suspected Russian hack is much worse than first feared
Sometimes I worry that attempts at purposeful diversity are slowing down natural integration. Like the harder we try to make things look good on paper the more people want to stand apart in the real world.
Apple are not choking off in-app advertising revenue.

That option is still available, developers just have to tell people what they're doing up front and allow opt-in control of tracking.

So if you want to give informed consent for targeted in-app advertising you still can.

As an Apple customer I pay Apple to provide that, altruism has nothing to do with it.

Facebook won't do it on their own because they don't want users to have the choice.
Is there any new info here compared to the thread yesterday? In any Gebru thread the same debate starts from scratch again. Same arguments and links repeated again and again...

I’m not sure there’s such a fine line. Unless this is defined someone where in Google, I don’t think it’s accurate. I can resign in many ways and then there’s formalities.

I find JAX really exciting. The idea of numpy with autograd is exactly what Pythonistas want. The elephant in the room, though, is “why not Pytorch?”

Everyone knows JAX is what Google realised Tensorflow should have been when they realised how much of a joy Pytorch was to use. I actually think JAX does offer some advantages, not least true numpy interoperability. However, not mentioning *torch a single time in the blog post seems a little disingenuous for a Google-owned deep learning enterprise.
This is interesting to see another company take a crack at super-density. Scaleway famously entered this market in 2017 only to leave it in 2020 citing reliability issues [1]

Hello! Feel free to DM me on twitter to talk. (I'm @theshawwn)

I noticed some of your other comments, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23737849. If you're 20-something, just remember that life is pretty much supposed to feel listless. No one really knows what they're doing until they figure out what they want. And figuring out what you want is often very hard.
Isn't the case that you can already opt out, as I do, by just visiting facebook.com using Safari and AdGuard on iOS instead of installing the Facebook app? And doesn't this very public controversy now mean that everybody knows this? I'm not defending either side but just pointing out that we already have the choice.
If I were them I wouldn't even bother with anything pre-Arm v9. That's going to draw all the hype, especially when Apple announces the Arm v9-based M2 next year.

And then I'm sure most sheep-like OEMs will say "Oh, we want THAT, too. Where is it - we want it yesterday!" But AMD won't be able to provide one too soon, because they would've gone all in on Arm v8, and they'd want to squeeze at least a couple of generations out of that microarchitecture.

Something similar happened when Apple announced the first Armv8 processor and it took Qualcomm and all the rest 2 years to catch-up.
Or whatever they did to remove the Zoom vulnerability.
Well except a small company selling servers and security for data analysis suffered quite a big push from what seem to be a Serbo-Russian group, using one of our client VPN in belgrade and a lot of social engineering (investing 6 month and a fake identity). Incidentally it looked a lot like ATP28 attacks, and probably the data wouldn't even be worth that much, making the operation unprofitable even if it were more successfull than that it was.

When Fancy Bear will stop putting their greasy fingers everywhere for no reason, maybe i will stop the "bullshit rhetoric parroted by the media and citizens who don't know much about the country". Until then, sorry but to me tehy will be an enemy.

I also happen to have a friend who live in Kiev since 2012 and is now in the "priate security" business . "lot of poverty" is quite nicely put. When a state (city in this case, but well, no one is fooled) is hiring mercenaries from private companies to keep people in order, yeah, seems like a great country.

Volgograd, St-petersbourg and Moscow are fine, sure, but border cities?
Goes to show that you are only as secure as your weakest dependency. Allow and trust software into your organization built by a system protected by an obvious single factor password (which you didn't know about or ask) and no matter what else you did you are screwed.

I worked at a healthcare company that stored its production credentials (with no login auditing) in a plain text file accessible by half the employees and contractors and when I complained that this was dumb (and violated HIPAA) was told "we passed our audits and we trust our employees".
On the surface your comment makes sense but if you read his Twitter thread, he's not saying "do what I did"..

He's actually giving decent advice which is make yourself a source of knowledge on something within your chosen field.

Most people who are just starting out are not going to create the next amazing thing, but it's within reach for them to become a subject-matter-expert (or at least start that journey) so that they can use that knowledge to help them make things (and in the process support their peers and benefit from knowledge sharing).
Unlike the other methods, absolute positioning + translating has the advantage that you can not only center the child, but give it a percentage position within its dynamic parent. This can be especially useful when the position should be animated.

AMD ''Cato'' Review: The A9-9820 and RX-8120 Demystified
I don’t really know what to make of this whole thing. In the one hand, maybe she was fired because she asked uncomfortable questions that Google didn’t want to be presented with, and Google is in the wrong. On the other hand, maybe she’s just an asshole to work with in person, and someone there had enough of it already (and if that’s the case, it’s not like Google can just release a PR bit “she is a pain in the ass...”).
Perhaps tracking ought to be opt-in only. I don’t remember ever installing Debian and not opting in to the popularity contest (popcorn). Angular CLI also asks if it may do some telemetry. I don’t buy that opt in means we are stuck with bad data.

An exception is for testing.

I use Firefox nightly and developer edition where I can. I think by installing a pre release version of Firefox I opted into telemetry. I’m volunteering for telemetry. However, I don’t consent to opt out tracking in the production version of Firefox or running nonsense marketing-driven “experiments”.

Not really, this is about reversing waves that have already happened. The technique requires you to fully capture the outgoing propagation in order to reverse it. It isn't a way to "extract" previous vibrations without recording equipment.

Agreed, but I think that's not entirely on them, but rather the wider JVM & mobile dev ecosystems.

So she threatened to resign? Sorry, but doing that is always fair game for immediate dismissal. In fact, getting dismissed is a strictly better scenario for her in such a situation. Now she was fired instead of having quit, qualifying for unemployment and triggering any contractual parachute obligations on Google's part.

And given that, her behaviour is likely just trying to introduce spin in order to land her next job easier. By making it about race and gender, it's not something behavioural and so clears the situation for future employers.

Isn't XML the obvious choice for robustly future-proof long-term data storage? Why mess about with an anemic scheme like CSV or a DBMS-specific scheme like SQLite?
Smarthome. Best use of RPI for me.
Same. The whole "Google will pay me as long as I do what they say" has nothing to do with equality, it's how things work. Pushing this so hard in the media screams "I want attention and favouritism" for my activism. Good for her for speaking up, and good for Google for protecting their business, I guess.
I was delighted to learn of it. The C file is so small, I just added some lines to check if my displays are rotated correctly, and correct them if not. I added a LaunchAgent to spawn the program every ten minutes. Now when my stupid Macintosh borks my displays, it unborks it of its own accord :)
Yeah, I do hope CDPR pulls off something similar. For many reasons I doubt it (even though they managed to turn a buggy Witcher 3 into one of my favorite games ever), but I do hope so.

I'd easily pay 30-40 bucks for this game if they fixed the performance issues and bugs, made the open world even slightly better, fixed the non-existent AI, and tweaked a bunch of the gameplay.

If they also managed to make driving fun and the choices more meaningful, I could imagine paying full price even. From what I've heard the story is okay, but that it has too much 'illusion of choice'.
No, it's all the same, but there is a new term to replace "fired" and "resigned", perhaps some attempt at a middle ground to draw things to a close?

"Ousted". Unceremoniously so, apparently.

I didn't see the phrase "going quietly" anywhere though.
> First, you cannot resign with an completely unspecific effective date; a conditional statement that in should particular circumstances you would work with someone to set a final date is not a resignation. So there was no resignation to accept.

Would you share some information on where this comes from. It sounds pretty authoritative. I’ve worked with people who said “I quit” and walked out. It seemed to succeed as they never came back. Could they come back the next day and say “well I didn’t specify a date therefore my resignation wasn’t valid?”

I’m not familiar with labor law, but I thought that resignation was a loose term that could fit many patterns.

This definition from feeling lucky on google [0] just says it’s the formal notice of voluntary termination and there are no laws governing resignations.

But it sounds like you have more info on this and I’d like to learn more about this.

I got a flat this summer. Brought my bike in to my local shop to have them fix it. They said "I hope you have a spare because we don't have tires, and it may be two months before we get any". I did have my spare that I had brought in with me. And I felt good about giving the shop some service works because I noticed right away that they had almost no bikes in stock.
Respect to Timnit Gebru for having tried but I don't think it could ever work.

1. Google profits (massively) from AI.

2. Google founds a research team for ethics in AI.

How on earth could 2. be independent research? It's like a tobacco company funding research into the health effects of tobacco. I can't see it as anything other than a PR move and maybe also trying to steer the ethics research into directions that don't hurt 1.
That's probably because you have not suffered to be the only people of your country/race/culture in a company. It's an awful feeling. The rest of colleagues have many common cultural references that you cannot identify with.
A forced bootstrap is a good idea, once the doors are open it is easier to get some level of natural integration. Without a critical mass diversity is extremely hard on the ones that venture beyond their stereotypical place in society.
Interesting, thank you! I'll have to look that up further..

A speeding ticket or a disorderly conduct charge is very different from aiding and abetting sex-trafficking of minors.

Epstein was facing a life sentence in federal prison and forfeiture of an estimated $500 million estate for his crimes if you need help understanding the seriousness of them.

The law views aiding and abetting sex-trafficking just as seriously as the crime itself.

Some of us are still holding out hope that Prof. Nowak will serve some hard time behind bars for what he did. He has no shame, but apparently still quite a few apologists.
