Underpaying for desired positions is nothing new. Game devs historically are underpaid relative to their skillset. Sports coaches for HS are often paid nothing or a stipend (often something like $1000/year, even for major urban high schools).

This role does have the additional benefit of exposure. How much do the performers on this show get paid? At least if its like a lot of reality shows, they are aspiring actors who view this as a foot in the door.

If you think the exposure is worth more than a typical five day shoot, go for it. If not, pass on it. If I did it, I'd try to negotiate some "brand name placement" during the show or in the shows publicity.
I don't really see where you're coming from, here. It seemed well-thought-out and informative to me, and from someone who claims to be a mental health professional.

Perhaps apply the principle of charity and avoid attributing a negative/dismissive/argumentative tone when maybe there wasn't one?
I wish all of these initiatives luck, but for the basic Unix utilities they couldn't even agree on some sort of common format to allow for introspection (i.e. the tool itself would allow for the extraction of its parameter names, parameter types, etc.).

I somehow feel that all these boil-the-oceans approaches regarding rich CLIs aren't going to make it very far.

Which is really unfortunate :-(
beside device-safety, I just realized that for toddlers this was quite dangerous even under normal circumstances.
Why not both then?

Yes and Netflix (or the organization making the film) can afford to pay more.
Indeed, 40% of US corn is used for ethanol so the potential effect could be huge. However, there's a lot of movement afoot in the ethanol industry for using carbon capture. My guess is given the Ag lobby biofuel will be retained for some time.
Arrow is the in-memory format, PyArrow supports loading and saving that data as Parquet and Feather formatted files.
1) Nobody reads them. 2) nice, but not useful for further business. 3,4) maybe the contracts would disallow that.
There's an oversupply of humans but murder is still wrong. Treating people poorly is still treating people poorly, regardless of justification. You can't treat an oversupply of people the same way you treat an oversupply of goods. It's why we have minimum wage laws and other (insufficient) worker protections.
holywood is based on it too. I gues netflix will merge the worst of both worlds.

The actors guild union actually demand you work as a almost-no-pay extra/support for several productions before you are even admitted to the union.

not to mention the informal but prevalent culture of "assistants" where people stabilished in the industry takes in people they treat as literal vassals doing errands.
If a Netflix subcontractor didn’t pay their actors, writers, etc, they would catch a well deserved deluge of criticism. Of course it wouldn’t happen because those workers are organized to prevent these abuses.
Gosh, the way I want this story to shake out is that they find someone to do the work and the photographer just shows up with their phone and takes a few blurry snaps forcing the show to re-shoot those scenes or go without any promotional photographs.

Taking this job is honestly a financial liability - there's a chance your fancy equipment will be damaged (you should calculate wear and tear into the costs for every job) so be sure not to use anything that costs more than the expected damages.
Personally I think caring about how they are dressed for anything less than "covered in bodily fluids and/or naked" is stupidity normalized. It is not only a superfical distraction from the relevant and "bike shedding" but literally asking to be deceived and selecting for people who can deceive you best.
An investment is not a donation to your idea or cause.

If you "need money to make it big" you can bootstrap, take donations, or look for investors.

It's easier to raise investment than donations, because an investor expects a return in an economic/probabalistic sense(not hopes for a return)

You can't have your cake and eat it too though; once you accept investment you can't cry foul when they don't sit back and act like a donor.
Some people like to pay extra so they don't have to spend free time to tinker. Look at the pages you listed and all the research you have to do to vet these options.

When I was younger and had more free time, I would tinker, too, content with my saving $20 there or $200 here, ignoring that the savings were a wash considering the time involved to find these discounts. These days sometimes I just pay extra knowing I'm not getting the best deal, but I'm getting something that works out of the box without me fiddling or having to spend my precious free time outside of work reading about the exciting exercise bike industry of all things.
Straw man.

Those societies also existed alongside slavery and tons of other bad shit. So how does that change the value of a functional government?
Report on University of Minnesota Breach-of-Trust Incident
It (as an example) is sufficient to remind you that the production environments for many goods _more accessible than diamonds_ are highly, highly exploitive. We don’t need to argue about specific frequency of people jumping out of windows (btw, enough for one building to install nets), to understand the broader point. We could talk about child labor. We could talk about labor camps. Again, nobody in the first world can claim to be surprised by these things. For people to walk around on sneakers cushioned by children’s tears and fret about the provenance of their diamonds seems a bit of a joke.
Companies need to start billing back for these screw ups.

If the seller screws up this or that, it's an immediate 10% discount. When it hits the bottom line where the CFO can see it, then it has to be fixed.
American breakfast is so weird. It's a meal of either pure sugar (breakfast cereal, orange juice) or sugar and butter (breakfast pastries). And I highly doubt that, in some hypothetical idyllic past where everyone ate breakfast before heading out into the field for a long day of backbreaking work, people were eating pop tarts and croissants and not, oh, I don't know, some kind of porridge or gruel.

> Population capping out doesn’t mean people stop wanting to use additional energy.

Nobody said it did. What it does do is reduce the exponential growth rate in energy demand.

However, energy use per capita is not currently growing exponentially in developed countries and is declining in some places.

The combination of those two factors makes the prediction of continued exponential growth in energy consumption at the same rate pretty unlikely.

You should just stop mentioning the thermodynamic limit as it is irrelevant to any of our practical considerations for the predictable future.

> Raising half of the current global population to a Western standard of living would blow past this hard limit, even if we assume a doubling of energy efficiency

What hard limit are you talking about? There are several thresholds we should avoid crossing, but there are no hard limits (besides the thermodynamic limit, which we wouldn't come anywhere close to reaching even if we gave everyone on the planet a western standard of living and also doubled the population.)

> Nothing in this graph[1] should give you the warm and fuzzies that we’ll all somehow band together to avoid this fate.

The direness of the global warming situation has been repeatedly acknowledged by me. You seem to think that holding out any hope that we have a path to recovery, matter how hard and long, is "magical thinking" but somehow fail to see that taking this stance is actively making our chances of finding and following that path worse.

> But I don't know about this idea that interns are somehow a gateway to getting value out of people for free. Interns in experience (outside of maybe a unicorn out there) are not productive ...

We use internships as a pipeline to hire. We pay them for their time, they get real world experience. We both get quality time together to see if long term this is a good fit. Those who start full time ramp up much faster and are generally successful in their career.
1) The credits? That's not the point. This isn't a hail mary hoping someone discovers you via rolling credits. It's a way of solidifying your role in this production - so that if someone double checks, did you really help in this production, you are accounted for.

2) Could be useful for future business. It's a display of authority if positioned right. Just like any good portfolio piece.

3,4) Then don't take the contract.

With any business, you are trying to project trust, authority, quality. You could leverage this as such.
Even if you're established in your career ... they'll ask you. As Harlan Ellison demonstrates:

Thanks! I'd say each each integration has its own nuances that can be tricky - we've found Salesforce notoriously has one of the most challenging and monolithic APIs, while Slack is typically pretty nice to work with. Interestingly, they're both the same company now.
Right, that means only wealthy photographers (from family, etc.) can do this.

This is where the injustice comes from when ‘unpaid internships’ equals we only want rich kids to work for us. It’s how the situation propagates through time.

Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering in Rust
> Python’s FP capabilities are severely constrained by not supporting multi-line lambdas or composition operators (pipe, sequence, etc)

Hardly. You can absolutely have multi-line lambdas, just not multi-expression lambdas (the real limitation is that there are no try/except expressions so certain fallible manipulations aren't so easily expressed). Similarly, Python lets you overload operators so you could always override `|` or whatever. Of course, operators are just syntax sugar for function calls so this strikes me as a cop-out. In either case, neither of these excuses are pertinent to the community's rejection of complex comprehensions or higher order functions.

> My workplace uses Elixir exclusively in production for our backend services, so we’re all functional programmers and we do not find that map, filter, and reduce make things harder to read, quite the opposite. Breaking up loops does not introduce cognitive overhead, it makes every step in the chain more explicit. You can call this personal preference but there’s nothing concrete in your belief that for-loops are more readable or easier for teams of programmers to maintain, many people disagree.

You could argue that any two models which evaluate to the same thing are fundamentally equally easy to understand. You could argue that monads are just as easy to understand as a sequence of statements in an imperative language, but experience suggests that people have a harder time understanding the more abstract concept rather than the more concrete concept. This shows up all over--Newtonian physics are more easily understood than the more abstract quantum physics and in mathematics "more advanced" math tends to mean roughly "more abstract".
this is a bleak outlook on “different skin tones exist” - even yellow as a default implies lightness… if no one cared everyone would still be using yellow, and that’s very clearly not the case…

Are you in the US? Also, are you in engineering/tech? Tech internships tend to pay surprisingly well, but many other fields in the US don't pay anything for internships and it's a notable exception when they do.
I know this is common in politics, activism, and certain law positions. I also know volunteer positions are expected of pre-medical students now.
Apartheid was a political ideology that did not happen in Zambia. The very existence of a place called “Zambia” only came about after their colonial independence. “Apartheid Zambia” is not and was not a thing and is a stupid phrase to anyone who knows the history of the area.

Furthermore, Musk fled South Africa in order to avoid being conscripted into the apartheid SA army.

He’s a person with rough edges, but tieing him in with apartheid is a bit much.
It seems fairly self-explanatory - the oversupply is of individual human workers, not some product. The individual at the bottom of the pyramid is hurt directly. A large business is treating a specific human at the bottom with disrespect. The name of the economic principle at play is morally irrelevant.

I.e. economic shrewdness is not equivalent to morality.
I have a friend with a Canon full frame camera whose mirror/shutter is dying. Cost too much to service for an old camera, but a Canon full frame mirrorless being too expensive, for them.

Is the only Canon full frame mirrorless the R5?

I always suggest the Sony full frame cameras, is there a good EF mount adapter for a professional photographer? A lot of adapters I've seen between brands and mounts end up slowing down the lenses or have some other compromise.

And without adapters, people seem to be vendor-locked and in a toxic marriage with a camera manufacturer that pretty much requires becoming a fanboy or whatever the non-gendered derogatory term for fanboy is.

Solutions aside from selling everything?
They announced they were trying a flexible work week like 9 months ago, and the "news" a week ago was about a return to office announced at that same time. Nothing has changed except that we have more information about the specifics, and "protests" is massively overstating it, NYT articles notwithstanding.

Somebody's just decided that every company email from Sundar needs a public article within an hour that totally strips out all relevant context.
At the same time they use the countries within the bloc to avoid paying taxes.
You can: it is serializable and self-describing. However, unless "disk" is super fast and thus more likely memory, and your data is ephemeral, you probably shouldn't. Instead, we've been happier as parquet/orc: tunable compression, nicer multi-part / parallel readers, and a bit more stable.

There is feather for persistence, but you don't need it: just as how you can stream binary arrow buffers to processes, you can write raw arrow to disk. In theory it might give some teams in some setups parallel read/write speedups, but we've been exploring other paths there, e.g., 90+GB/s per node via GDS https://pavilion.io/nvidia . I'm not aware of feather efforts targeting that kind of perf but would be curious!

To utilize w/ spark.. it already does underneath ;-) an increasing flow is something like spark filter -> gpu compute+ai, where the transfer is spark cpu rdd -> arrow (spark-native) -> rapids/tensorflow

Edit: Arrow dev does seem more active than parquet/orc (and a lot of their dev is _by_ arrow devs!), so give it another couple of years, and I can see arrow being stable enough that you can persist data with less fear of having to reprocess older files and having most of the compression features you'd want!
Depends entirely on the country. There are some Scandinavian countries that can give very generous fitness benefits since it's a tax writeoff.
I put it in quotes because it was 6 hours... compared to years of violence by those who are clutching pearls about 6 hours?

"words like fight" He said to protest peacefully...

https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-trump-say-peacefully...

Ruling: Mostly True (hint: that means it's true)

"why are you playing" because Trump, for all his faults, had hundreds of gatherings that didn't lead to violence and he never called for violence - and, as mentioned, he said to gather peacefully.

Meanwhile, those clutching pearls, are silent or supportive over YEARS of violence. IE: Pilosi, the biggest critic of "Trumps capital riots" is supportive of Maxine Waters.

The comparison IS apples to oranges... Trump didn't call for violence - and has a history of gatherings without violence. Compared to the other side that has repeatedly called for violence with years of gatherings with MUCH violence.

(and other facts like the violent groups included members of Antifa/BLM and that the violent groups were gathering BEFORE Trumps speech)

We are here... and facts don't care about feelings.

The most recent DLC they released broke a lot of stuff, and was clearly unfinished, because it still had placeholder assets in it. Sometimes the people complaining actually are right about what they're talking about.

From the company's point of view, it seems like an internship really ought to be more of a culture fit check than anything else. It's like an extended technical interview in a way: "try on our team for size, see how it fits. Do you like the work? Do we see potential in your skills / productivity?" That sort of thing. Heck, even for experienced engineers there's a spinup time on any large technical endeavor that is sometimes measured in months. How long is a typical internship anyway?
In Washington DC and Hollywood, I think it's pretty common.

I haven't heard of this at all in Silicon Valley though. In fact interns are pretty well paid, $7500/month at my previous company.
It's not American though.

Is the budget so constrained they can't pay a few decent wedding photographers 4K each, for a whole 20K? That's what's so insulting about this.
People blame management for Cyberpunk as well, but your options as a company are limited. Game development companies are expensive to operate and fail often. Franchises rise and fall. Player bases jump ship (PUBG -> Fortnite -> Apex -> CoD Warzone, etc).

So your options again are limited:

A. Delay the project X years with an uncertain probability of the game improving vs becoming more complex/buggy over time.

B. Cancel the project entirely.

C. Restart the project or replace the development leads/management if you think they are the problem again with an uncertain probability of improvement or degradation of quality.

D. Delay as long as is possible/reasonable and attempt to deliver a workable game that might not please everybody <----- What most game developers choose.

We can't expect companies to bankrupt themselves to deliver and we also can't guarantee any additional time would actually solve some possibly core problems to the game/engine.

It does NOT come down to incompetence or malice in all cases. Very easily a transition in tooling or the underlying engine mid-development could throw off the entire project in permanent ways.
one thing everyone keeps forgetting about is mindshare and talent monopoly these companies have.

bunch of startups using react, k8s because FB etc use them. how is this bad, well you they can change API's or introduce new features into these tools.

Forcing companies who're using these tools to play catch up. instead of developing features.

plenty of smart engineers that would be founders are reduced to being cogs in a system. countless examples even here on HN where people question, why work on something interesting eg in the Lichess thread instead of FAANG and get the massive salary.

to me that's the most dangerous form of monopoly there could be.
I would have though SAG-AFTRA require all on-screen talent to be paid.

The amusing irony of that video is that he mostly likely asked to get paid for that interview and now it's on YouTube for free, giving him exposure. :)
I think it's good that the reporter is showing multiple viewpoints. Rarely is there one canonical view in situations like this. The implications here are that the Iterable board member had a personal discussion with a decision maker at Geodesic, and got the hint that they felt Zhu was disrespectful, which the board member attributed to the attire. The person familiar with Geodesic's thinking could be echoing the official line at Geodesic, as they know they are speaking with a reporter. The reporter shows both sides and stays neutral, letting us make up our minds ourselves.
Not surprising. Last century I had some NYC black and white photos online. An TV show asked to use them. I gave them a price and crickets..

Digital cameras became popular and the value of photography has plummeted.
