I was in a similar situation. But in my situation, the acquiring company was very clear, they only wanted to take our customers. They did not care about our tech or our people.

Some people moved to their company, maybe like 5%. The rest of us watched as they nickel and dimed us out of existence. Layoffs ever 6 months. After 10 years of this, in my arrogance, I thought it would never happen to me. That when my number came up. A year later the place closed.

On the positive, they treated me very well in the layoff process. 3 months healthcare and pay, classes on how to obtain a new job, and office space to work on a new job.

Unfortunately for me, we had just had our second child and the market for hiring was awful. In 6 months I had only one interview. And it was for a company that sucked, I would rather not work than work for them. A buddy of mine got the job and hated it, left as early as possible.

I am happier now, although I still have fond memories of that job. And I still rely on resources from the outplacement.
??? but almost no one buys the iphone at their full price. e.g. here if I want an iphone 12, it'd cost me 249€ with a mobile plan (https://m.boutique.orange.fr/mobile/details/apple-iphone-12-...)
In America, they are of course free to not do business. The contract spells out the cost of doing so. In fact, this is the major purpose of contracts - specifying penalties for non-performance. It has to be a sum of money.

A contract cannot compel any action - it is an agreement on what is expected and the cost of non-compliance.

Step 1: Every dimension has an observer.

Step 2: "An observer watches something" happens in Zero dimension,

Step 3: "An observer watching an observer" happens in One dimension,

Step 4: "An observer watching an observer watching an observer" happens in Two dimension,
.
.
.
.
.
Step n: it can go on till the n dimension.

Let's twist the rule to itself.

An observer (zero dimension)

An observer watching itself, (one dimension)

An observer watching itself observing, (two dimension)

An observer watching itself observing itself, (three dimension)

An observer watching itself observing itself,.................. (n dimension)

And there can be any level of observer,

so there can be any level of dimensions.
It depends of the color of the number. If the color is that of a simple prime number, which you mention purely for its characteristics as a number, then you would theoretically be allowed. Otherwise not.
jOOQ is the most obvious contender. Since I use Java I like type safety, jOOQ gives me that (like Hibernate) without trying to abstract the fact that I make queries to a db (which Hibernate does).
I don't think that's quite right though. A bloom filter does not keep a list of hashes. If it did it'd grow with every item added to the set, and it doesn't. A bloom filter adds a new hash by bitwise-or-ing it with the currently stored value. Checking if a hash is present in the bloom filter is as simple as checking that all the 1 bits in the bash are 1 bits in the stored value in the bloom filter. This makes sure there are never any false negatives because bits only ever get turned on, never off. False positives are possible because of either direct hash collisions, or unrelated hashes turning on enough bits for a match.
You connect literally all those things to a wifi hub in your house most of the time, and the likelihood of big data consumption on all of them is quite low.

It's a huge difference to think you're going to be servicing all rather then some user workstations data requirements with just todays celltowers - which isn't to say you couldn't make it feel similar, but at some point you're cramming a 5G tower into every apartment and those still need fiber backhaul.

In any organisation, although it's more likely to be bad in small ones. I'm talking about the difference between the formal, process-related aspects of management and the social/anthropological/dominance aspects. All the stuff that matters once voices get raised and feelings get high.

To tie this back to the original post: why is there information that subordinates have that would potentially improve the business, that they want to give to their seniors, but they don't? It's because that information is uncomfortable.

Also, all the stuff in the original article below "Incredible amounts of harassment of any kind". Why do business deals get done at strip clubs in the first place? It's not in the company's interest, it happens because those involved have enough power to use company resources for their own purposes and enjoy all the little displays of dominance involved in such an outing.
Nice article.

> So in terms of engineer morale it might help but I doubt you were measurably less productive due to this handicap on actual non emotional basis.

Except they probably were measurably less productive (if anyone bothered to measure), because software engineering runs on emotion and engineering morale. If you're doing anything more complicated than retyping code from printouts, how you feel will determine your speed and ability to focus. So even if the only thing a 24” screen did for GP was to not constantly annoy them, that's a real productivity improvement.

The space launch industry was uniquely dysfunctional; SpaceX could get away with starting near the bottom of the learning curve. Tesla, by contrast, is up against companies that build products at large scales in a thick market while competing against the best the international economy has to offer. There's much less room for error there.

Chromium is so incredibly complex, they deal with twenty layers of abstractions and there is concurrency everywhere. Sprinkling a bit of Rust across the code base, and only at the lowest level, will do very little.
Hi, we don't sell headsets. Our software works with any pair of headphones.

Dvorak is actually pretty bad as a smartphone keyboard, it's advantages with two-handed typing on real keyboard become disadvantages if you type with your thumb.

Dvorak has specialised right- and left-handed layouts. Maybe it also needs specialised one finger layouts, too.
I'm guessing it's because you haven't tried to write an XSLT recently. Yes, it's a way to declarative express transformations which has a lot of elegant theoretical properties. But that doesn't matter when it's so, so painfully tedious to actually write.

My first thoughts when reading the headline were: how to integrate FPGA power into making new games.

Which it is not, but still very awesome.

Anyway - if one would try to actually use FPGAs for developing a new game - would there be any benefits?

I mean programming it, will probably the main hurdle.

But if one would be good at it - and ignoring for a moment that the typical gamer does not have an FPGA around, would there be actually benefits when programming a new game?

I thought about in the combination with a normal gaming computer. Using the FPGA for complex simulations like physic? Would that make any sense?

Most countries, if they could, would like to advance one narrative on the world stage and a separate one to their citizens.

Perhaps this isn't aimed at us westerners - and instead it's aimed at Iranians.

The message being "Yet more evidence that our country is under constant assault by the forces of evil who are threatened by our growing strength. They are the cause of any problems you see, support our homeland security and military"

There's also a message for possible allies in the region: "As you can see, Western countries don't respect our sovereignty, any respect they claim to have for yours is an illusion, show solidarity with us fellow autocratic religious oil-producing countries"

I personally think this was a very interesting reading, and after having tried multiple solutions for anxiety (prescribed pills, talk therapy, tips like focusing on our environment -- as explained in the highlighted paragraph), and being surrounded by people having also tried several solutions, it must be known that not everyone will react the same way to each of them.

While the content of this article will not make everyone agree, I think it's particularly important nowadays to pay attention to our mental health at least as much as we do to our physical health, and it's good to see this topic trending on HN.

... and that really reduces typing speed. When i switched to dworak I was amazed how my fingers just roll on a keyboard, forming sentences faster than I even form a conscious understanding in which succession should I move my fingers. It just happens as if by itself!! Just think of a word to type and it is already on the screen.
Metadata Management System in Avito.ru
That's a genuinely mean comment towards a new library which is using existing code to bootstrap itself. Julia does solve the two language issue, but not in all situations. Like I'll never write a driver in julia. But this mean spiritedness towards anything that's not perfect is disheartening.
skimmed over this twice - and I see there is an online demo that works.. but nothing that says if the self run version is mac only, (? the github says to compile with some other library, linux?)
and I get the sad-feeling when I see "a sketch-based.." - because sketch is mac only I thought?

the gif-like animations are cool - better than text for showing what it - like that.

Yes, Hubbard is a dramatic science fiction writer, and it's not 'Science' but a lot of Scientology is derived from other fields some of it is reasonably rational conjecture at least for the era i.e. 1950s.

The very first time I read Dianetics, I felt that the 'engrams' (stored traumatic memories) had a truthy ring to it.

I think they are literally not too far off base on that one, and were popularizing something that we probably already commonly knew, but merely had not formalized very well in Science.

After all, it would have been possible for any basic civilization to have figured it out on some level, i.e. Greeks or Romans might have had something rational to say about these suppressed memories.

Just because something isn't science, doesn't mean it's total science fiction.

It's worth contextualizing that most of our understanding of the mind was (and is) a lot of conjecture.

I do this with QEMU/KVM with passthrough of an RTX 3090, an NVME SSD, and one of the onboard USB controllers. Works like a charm, though the VM boot time is very high if you allocate a lot of RAM to it (there's some kind of bottleneck in the linux kernel when pinning huge amounts of consecutive memory pages while using passthrough, don't fully understand it but it's a known problem).

Performance is indistinguishable from native, e.g. I can easily drive the screen at the max 144 Hz refresh rate, G-sync works, etc. I did put some effort in figuring out how to pin CPU threads to cores, optimize for the CPU core topology so Windows only gets cores on the same CCX (it's an AMD Zen 3, before that it was Zen 2), etc. But all of this is documented in many places.

Do note that depending on your motherboard not all of this is possible if the chipset & BIOS do not provide enough MMIO isolation, you might not be able to isolate a USB controller or a separate NVME drive, or you might get only half the PCIe lanes for the passthrough GPU if you need to use the other full-lane slot for something like a second GPU.

Not looking for excuses, but I was shocked a week ago by the price increases across the board. I ordered a second custom Threadripper machine to complement the one I built over 2 years ago: the CPU (2xxx) that I bought more than 2 years ago had the same price, the same cooler was double (from 59 to 118), the same case was 50% more expensive. The Plantronics headset I bought 4 years ago is more expensive today, even if the model is quite old.

Even the same jeans and motorcycle boots are 50% more expensive than the list price 3 years ago, the bicycle parts ordered from Germany are 50% more expensive than 4-5 years ago, so it is not just computer parts. Not sure if this is all from the vast quantity of money printed in the past year or there is some other cause I cannot identify.
The "metrification" of Dutch customary units is a fascinating subject on itself. The "ons" was in fact quite close to the ounce, but it was set to 100 grams during metrification. The step from 1 pound to 1 metric pound = 500g was less noticable.

I don't feel like that's a feature. For €1,890 I would not even properly own it. It's a no from me.

This is always the problem nowadays; we don't want to depend on China, but we also don't want to pay twice as much. We hate how companies like Amazon and Walmart undercut everyone and destroy small businesses, but they're both convenient and cheaper. Stuff bought from AliExpress and co is absolute shit in terms of quality, but it's cheap and quirky. Factory farming is bad, animals are bred to grow chomnk within weeks and it's atrocious, but this organic meat is twice as expensive for the same product, so ????

I'm not very good at making sense in comments anymore, but I hope I'm getting a point across. TL;DR, cost always trumps quality and provenance. Unfortunately, the only way to combat this is by restricting the free market and becoming more insular - like Trump and his administration tried to do with raising more taxes on stuff from China.

I believe in Europe the current approach is to push for state subsidies and -funding. Lots of companies I've worked for did a bunch of administration to be eligible to get money from a European innovation fund, for example. It's because a lot of products just aren't as much a runaway success, and there's not nearly as much money flowing from rich investors.

On Rosa Parks:

Parks was considered the ideal plaintiff for a test case against city and state segregation laws, as she was seen as a responsible, mature woman with a good reputation. She was securely married and employed, was regarded as possessing a quiet and dignified demeanor, and was politically savvy. King said that Parks was regarded as "one of the finest citizens of Montgomery—not one of the finest Negro citizens, but one of the finest citizens of Montgomery"

Did only finest citizens have a right to sit wherever they wanted on the bus? No. Is it smart to run a test case like this with a person who is not going to be dragged down in character assassination? Yes.

You can't just ignore the fact that the average gamer doesn't have an FPGA. For such a game you would have to ship the FPGA with the game, making it prohibitively expensive.
