20ish years ago I was driving ingredients to restaurants. The business owners had metrics that required drivers to break speed and traffic laws in order to hand off all of the ordered goods to the customers. They never specifically ever said to speed or break the law, but the amount of stuff they piled our vans and trucks with made it impossible to deliver in the timeframes they set.

I was grateful to get the job, as previously I was fired from a 24x7 McDonalds store - I had used my personal vehicle to transport boxes of product from the owner's other store to meet demand after a rostered shift, and being sleepy after doing a graveyard shift plus that, woke up to the owner calling me and saying "if you can't even bother to wake up for your job, don't bother coming in again."

Anyway so in the first two days of my induction, my trainer taught me about driving over median curbs, waving as if you made an accidental mistake down one way streets, doing u-turns into oncoming traffic to get to a street that took a few extra minutes to get to, demonstrating the most efficient way to park the vehicle in front of the target establishment.

So this is nothing new. Amazon can stick it if they've just managed to commercialise it better than all the small businesses, but yeah, this has been happening since warehouses, telephones, and automobiles existed together. Just "wave and pretend" like you made a mistake, or this is normal, or whatever. Some low-level shitkicker will get the fine for parking in a fire zone, or jumping a curb, or whatever to meet targets. Alternatively, they can quit or be fired if they don't like doing that. for me having the cheese cutting guy ask constantly if I was gay and if he could shave my haemorrhoids was the cherry on the cake.

My heart sincerely goes out to all drivers. It is a very unforgiving task for many.
Thanks Clouflare for that.
I don't have a good answer for you but right now I'm facing a large diffused light that lightens my face and a backing green screen. Mine is floor standing and enormous, but you can get an equivalent diffuser attached to monitor and an LED behind that.

Interesting, but doing it server side can screw up CDNs (which are quite important for images). It's better if the client takes care of that, so CDNs can cache the full image.
Going public works if a) you own the newspaper or b) your story can pull some serious societal heart strings. Unfortunately the public at large is largely ignorant to the mess that the software patents are, it’s hard to see this getting traction.

Also representing yourself is not quite like in the movies. There’s typically no sympathetic judge willing to bend the rules, etc. etc. The bureaucratic machine is quite efficient at following the letter of the law, so you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage by being a non-professional.
As I've noted in other comments many people see business as war. There are good examples in business but the history of war has even better examples. Time and time again "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" can work until one enemy is vanquished.

In WW2 Stalin initially made a pact with Hitler while all the while knowing Hitler would violate it and invade anyway. Stalin just used it to buy time to ramp up the Soviet military. From what I recall it's likely Hitler assumed this as well and used the pact to delay dealing with the Soviets militarily and focus on his Western front to snatch up as much of Europe as possible.

Obviously a very dramatic example but as it applies here there's a very good chance that even if a competitor seems helpful, etc at first they could very well leverage the entire scenario to their advantage eventually (somehow).
I generally don't care about certifications, but was convinced to try the AWS Solutions Architect path.

While I'm still studying, I've found many knowledge gaps due learning things through experience. I guess studying something in a structured way definitely has value.
It's hard to grow as a social media startup now. If you're successful, Zuckerberg and the rest will spend tens of millions cloning you.

Only a select few reach escape velocity. Snapchat, TikTok.

How do you survive without being trampled by the giants?
Financially it makes sense for Facebook to keep cloning products because it pays for itself when it works out (Instagram Stories) and there are no regulations or other penalties for doing it.

> Under the Equality Act 2010, positive discrimination is unlawful but "positive action" is allowed for trainee roles where there are gaps in representation.

Not a lawyer but I fail to see how this is positive action. This is specifically treating a group of people worse than the others based on their race/ethnicity, which is explicitly unlawful and the whole point of the Equality Act.

The outright ban of applicants of a specific ethnic background does not seem to be the same as "enabling or encourage people who share a protected characteristic to overcome a disadvantage connected to the characteristic" to me [1]

On the face of it this is plain racial discrimination on the pretext of fighting racial discrimination, which is bonkers on top of being likely unlawful.

This should really go to court.

I hadn’t presumed that the firmware needed to be Open, though. Just a mechanism to verify. Being open and having the ability to compile from source and installing it myself would be even better.
Okay, so you're one of those hung up on a definition. What do you call it when you use something without someone's explicit permission whether because you didn't ask for it first or knowingly using it after it has been posted on a website that you do not have permission to use it?

> you can configure the kernel to ignore that, and by default it does.

> The modern linux kernel doesn't actually write to disk when fsync is called.

This is false.

Almost all open source databases' durability guarantees are based upon fsync (including SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, and so on). fsync will result in the corresponding underlying storage flush commands. You configure Linux to ignore fsync, but this is is not the default, on any Linux distribution I'm aware of. It would not make any sense.
The parent commenter makes it clear that they already grok the underlying data. The problem with Git, as explained so, so many times, is its horribly intuitive mapping from UI to the operations those commands preform on that model.

Comments like this, which points to a resource intended to help people "grok the underlying data", has the effect of seizing the focus of conversation and implicitly retargeting it to be concerned with with people who don't understand the underlying data model. When you been through this enough times, it just comes off as incredibly annoying and a source of tiresomeness.

It's highly regional and industry specific. In my case, I found traditional companies are looking for Azure and AWS in my region. On the other hand I've been in a few interviews where a VC-backed startup is looking for GCP certs. While I tried to make the argument that all clouds are similar the hiring manager let me know it's not them making the requirement but the VC backing them.

> I largely agreed with the point you are making until GME went back up in February. It happened all at once, so it was not retail traders but a centralized entity. That didn't make sense to me, and still doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand who profits from this behavior.

Agree with you here. These names have been coopted by pros. Who exactly I am just as clueless as you. But this sort of gamesmanship happens 24/7 in markets, it's just usually not as visible. It's probably coordinated, possibly illegal...but it's not the grand conspiracy that /r/wsb thinks.

> Burry at one point linked to a blog article on NOPE[0], the Net Options Pricing Effect. The NOPE is an extremely basic metric that attempts to figure out how much of the market is based on the underlying stock, and how much is based on derivatives.

Otherwise known as dealer gamma, something that is closely tracked in all markets. Options OI and pinning are serious business. NOPE didn't invent this.

Naked shorting is 1) risky and 2) not possible to the degree being alleged (also - cornering markets never works). MMs do not want to be massively naked short...it's antithetical to their business model.

They’re a one person company, and I assume their competitors are not exactly Google and Facebook either. Surely there’s enough market share at that level to allow for some compassion and basic human decency? Not everyone has to be ruthless 100% of the time
Yeah, I agree that webp looks better for many of the images. For most of them it comes back to the subjective issue that webp (and VP9) choose to err on the side of blurring detail they can't encode, while jpeg XL (and x264, etc) try to keep all the detail they can at the expense of more artifacts. There are very vocal proponents of both approaches, and personally I think it varies by the image content.

For all these examples, I was comparing at Small (as with Tiny they were both bad enough but in different ways that I often couldn't decide which was least bad). For the Abandoned Factory and Panthera Tigres, I think the extra detail of JXL looks better than the blurring of WEBP. On the otherhand, I think WEBP looks cleaner than JXL for Buenos Aires, Reykjavik, B-24 Bombers without loosing significant detail. And Avenches is a mix as JXL looks much better than WEBP for the trees and tile roof, but has worse chroma artifacts near the edges of the hat and clothing.

But that isn't the whole story, as for some of the images WEBP seems to both preserve more detail, and have fewer artifacts, such as Air Force Academy Chapel, Pont de Quebec, Steinway and White Dunes. What all these cases seem to have in common is a smooth gradient adjacent to sharp detail. WEBP seems to do a much better job of dealing with that boundary by blurring the smooth part, put preserving the sharp lines.

And if you bump up to WEBP2, the number of cases where it both preserves more detail and has fewer artifacts than JXL increases significantly.
It's a couple:
1. So many real needs that people have that are unmet. Anyone who has a potential solution should try, if they can afford to of course.
2. Having as much control over my life's outcome as possible. It's never a 100%, may not more than 50% even, but I don't feel like I want to wait for someone else to dictate the terms of my success anymore. Don't know if it's just a millennial thing or there is merit to this feeling.
What about datasheets that are only available if you're a large enough company to sign a contract and an NDA with Qualcomm?

Also imagine buying a commercially available phone and freeing it from all the TrustZone and code signing bullshit by replacing the SoC with the same chip but in a "development" mode, with no fuses blown.
Not a single person I’ve met using git in the last decade has thrived using a UI for it.
I looked it up and it seems I had the wrong pronunciation of "libre". It's pronounced completely different in French, I had no idea. But still, this feels like a non-issue to me. There's nothing wrong with pronouncing "libre" in a way that's more comfortable for English speakers (like Libra), as it would still be crystal clear what you're referring to in my opinion.
Did you ask for permission and were granted permission to take that image from the server for any other use than for viewing in a browser? What is the purpose of downloading the image? To share with friends? Why not send a link to the site? To use a desktop background? Did you pay to license for that use? To store on your phone for your own personal enjoyment? Again, why not reload the website?

While GitUp is a GUI app, and only available for macOS, I think it's worth noting that it has some great undo/redo capabilities built in.

From what I understand, some of them were more feasible to develop because they implemented their own plumbing (GitUpKit), instead of relying on the official git plumbing.

You don't need to understand the inner workings of git. You just need to know some commands and some basic concepts.

I've got 4 weeks paid vacation. It really doesn't feel like much. That's only 1/13th of your weeks being work-free per year. I personally would like more. I think something like a 20-25 hour workweek plus 8-12 weeks of vacation would be good enough that I would stay in the workforce long term. As it stands today, it seems more feasible to continue working full time, hit FI in a few years and retire early rather than find such a good work-life balance.

I like the IPA Chart website [0] which lists the phonemes and has examples of each when clicked. To understand a pronunciation (such as /ɪg.drə.sɪl/ for Yggdrasil), I'll match up the symbols to the chart and piece it together from the sample sounds.

Sidenote: I had a bit of trouble locating an IPA transcription for Yggdrasil. The pronunciation guide in the Wikipedia article for Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X is not IPA, it's using English pronunciation rules to try to emulate the correct pronunciation. The pronunciation in dictionaries (at least Merriam Webster) is also not quite IPA, though it is close. I came up with this pronunciation by merging those sources. I is probably correct, as I found a matching transcription in an old version of the Yggdrasil Wikipedia article which was removed for being original research.

Actually, most states have restrictions against non-attorneys representing a business in court. (See for example for CA Merco Construction Engineers v. Municipal Court.)

Otherwise however a business can represent itself in court, so long as its representative is a practicing attorney. Many states (but not all) won't require the attorney to be licensed in the state of litigation so long as they are licensed elsewhere.

Also, all states will allow a business to represent itself in small claims courts, where attorneys are not allowed unless they happen to be an employee of the business.
What are the jargon words youre referring to? In my experience, it uses the same jargon as the other VCSs.

Perhaps you have a different workflow than me, but I don't find myself rebasing all that often to begin with. I generally don't rewrite history unless I truly fucked up. And since I'm in "I fucked up" mode, I take extra care with commands I type.

I don't wanna be like Apple and say "You're holding the phone wrong," but maybe you shouldn't be doing frivolous rebasing.
A lot of valuable work on Blender side, but the main goal is questionable, and author explains why.

Pre-calculated lighting had very little to do with physical correctness, it was purely an artistic placement of light sources in a specific map processed with a specific tool (official or third party) with specific defaults. Two adjacent rooms could be lit in a very different manner because map maker decided it looked good; two maps coming from different sources could not be expected to share any common lighting principles. Quirks like overbright values were not even consistent among officially supported renderers, and were inherited by later Quake and Source engines (which would add their own quirks and light processing options). To put it shortly, there was no reference for the final result except the final result itself, and it often was unstable (changing textures, geometry, or processing constants would shift the look too much, and require fixes).

To make the game look as intended, you have to somehow rely on original lightmaps that are tightly coupled with original low resolution geometry and textures. Given that people still argue which of the original renderers gives the “true” picture, I have my doubts about making a new one that pretends some average light model is good enough for everything. Even for episode 1, hand-placed lights had to be reintroduced into the system, and ad-hoc fixes had to be done, but manual fixes are not an option for all the existing maps.

If you count npm packages this happened quite a few times already. People (who don't understand security very well) seems to be migrating to python now.

There's a lot of FUD against AGPL. I suspect that's because companies with deep pockets don't like it -- for reasons that are entirely by design of AGPL and simply s matter of preference.

The only toxicity here is from people who call that "toxic".

For your choice, you need to ask yourself: if your project were to be used as part of a web service by a company which then doesn't share the changes they made to your project, would you be okay with that?

If the answer is "no", then AGPL is the right choice. Otherwise, go with GPL.

In practice, your project doesn't seem the kind of thing where I expect substantial use in a web service. I mean, perhaps there's going to be a Godbolt of HDLs one day? But I guess it's unlikely to come up in a significant way, in which case the whole web service issue just doesn't matter and therefore GPL is the "safer" choice.
I would definitely read a paper with this as the premise, regardless of the quality of the research.
All my git training starts with a whiteboard and drawing out a commit tree and branch pointers. I only talk about the commands in reference to the drawings, not the other way around. Most commands are manipulating this commit tree, so it gives a visual to latch understanding onto.

`git reflog` shows the commits where your current branch pointer has been.

`git reset --hard` moves your current branch pointer and to the given commit, then modifies your working directory to match that commit. `--soft` moves the branch pointer and does not modify your working directory. `--mixed` moves the branch pointer, does not modify your working directory, but does clear staging.

I think it really depends on the industry you apply for. An Azure Solutions Architect certificate could be quite appealing to certain kinds of large organizations that have been Microsoft partners in the past and have recently made the jump to the cloud. Those kinds of organizations are the reason that Azure has been gaining market share against AWS. That sort of certificate is useful to a company like that because it checks some boxes for HR right-off-the-bat in that it probably aligns with their 'cloud goals'.

I had always read this as a metaphorical memo. Not necessarily that every team must have a software service running somewhere in infrastructure serving RESTful routes but rather as a way of thinking about agreements between groups. Your team's "API" could be documents describing: if you want us to do XYZ, send us a request via ABC, and you should expect a response in UVW format in x amount of time.
There are several reasons. In the beginning, hg was critisized to be slow as it was written completely in python. The effect of the Linux team going with Git instead created a lot of attention to git, probably also a lot in people who were faszinated by the capabilities of git and did not care much about user friendlyness. The biggest push for git undoubtedly came from github. That is now the premier platform for hosting software, especially open source software.
