>thus shareholders would be affected

Why not just tell it like it is then? Dear shareholders, I'm leaving because I'm rich / bored with Github and not because there was a falling-out.

>why does it bother you so much? Simply do not read it.

So you're suggesting people should just not read or listen to anything that they don't like? And just keep quiet?
Says whom?

Israelis themselves prided themselves on invading but with every intention to not take Egyptian land. Israelis weren’t driven out, they beat Egypt to show their power and created a good relationship with them. No Israeli I have ever talked to says half of Egypt should have been theirs or the US drove them out, they always make a point they bargain and prefer peace.

I'd like you to define how US policy is "antisemitic". Why are these horrible US antisemites giving Israel military aid and money?
Would you consider someone delegating tasks to a personal assistant on a billable hours basis a multi-person company? How about paying a freelancer once for the initial design of the website? Both these tactics are discussed in "Start Small, Stay Small" a book aimed at single developer software product "startups."

It's pretty clear that if you want to shorten time to market, you leverage existing assets - when it's people using React or FLOSS databases, no one bats an eye, but farming out tasks here and there that aren't worth your burn rate (pay someone cheaper who can do it faster), how is that different?

When the government hires contractors they're not considered part of the government workforce (ie, civil servants).
Ironically the price of sugar is kept artificially high by the government to protect sugar cane growers, by means of import controls.

That's why corn syrup became so popular. Its price isn't controlled.

The price of corn has now been pushed higher by idiotic ethanol mandates.

That's why you see a lot of "real sugar" products these days. Sugar's become more attractive in price as the price of corn products go up.

Unfortunately corn prices going up has been a serious burden on Mexican households where corn is a huge part of the diet.
Remark: It's for research and historical purpose to have a working version of CFRONT.

I would appreciate if someone have or know where to find the missing versions based on http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/ind... and the readme at https://github.com/junchih/cfront/blob/master/cfront_3/READM... the missing versions are:

CFRONT 3.0

CFRONT 3.0.1

CFRONT 3.0.2

With then and the change log the understanding of the source code would be a bit easier.
I really don't understand this line of thinking or what you are trying to accomplish. If you are dropping things from the X protocol to the point where it's only XInput2.2, SHM and DRI3, and then farming the rest out to Xephyr, then it's no longer X anymore. That is pretty much entirely what Wayland already is. So you might as well just build it as a Wayland server and call it a day.

Haha, I totally agree.
Not everyone's circadian clock works the way yours does. I hate having to schlep myself out of bed to join a pointless status update meeting half asleep.

10AM already is before my definition of "first thing in the morning".

Maybe we should just kill the synchronous status update meeting altogether and avoid conflicts like these?
Sometimes I truly wonder if people can actually =talk= like that for reals. The 'blog' is practically unreadable mess, esp. given its name 'blog'.
Or use a 20v MPPT with a higher-voltage panel (or two smaller panels in series) and skip the car charger.
I haven’t dug into this, but I do intuitively sense some risks with PoS. Can anyone recommend a good, thoughtful writeup of the specific risks?
It’s a HN meme: Employers cannot find employees because they are simply not paying enough. There is no shortage, the bid and ask are just non-crossing.

The other meme is that this argument applies to nothing else: GPUs, cars, etc. are in a shortage. The bid and ask not crossing is evidence of a shortage.

There is an easy conclusion: HN users are on the ask side in the former case and the bid side on the latter case and merely attempting to propagate a meme that attempts to move things in their direction.
For small businesses to pay more, they have to raise prices, if prices rise significantly more than the prices which large corporations charge, then the small businesses get less sales until they go out of business.

So no, the small businesses probably aren't conspiring, but they are likely riding in the wake of the large corporations (having to pay workers less to offer the similar prices to remain competitive towards shoppers).
Maybe someone can make the backend run on a blockchain and it's settled.
why? too clickbaity?
I think this comment misunderstands the whole supply/demand curve idea. At a low enough price, there would be an arbitrarily high number of "open positions". The statement "there are 10 open positions but only 8 qualified people" therefor is trivially true and meaningless. If I could pay people $1/hour then I might hire 5 of them full time personal assistants. But people wouldn't work for $1/hour, so in that case do we say that there are 5 open positions but 0 candidates?
Congrats, you pointed out one small detail it doesn't apply to. Notice they didn't say "all electrical stuff".

Stockholm Sky
Yes yes, never mind the pedestrians for whom crosswalks and walk indicators are mere suggestions, or the thousands of delivery guys going 30mph on e-bikes in every possible (different from legal!) direction of travel.

And while there are lots of wide, slow, neatly gridded streets, there are tons of streets that are none of those things.

NYC is certainly not the most chaotic, but it’s a billion times more so than Phoenix.
I think it's safe to say that Manhattan traffic is more complex than suburban Phoenix, without claiming Manhattan traffic is the most chaotic.

The difference is European cities were established long before cars were a thing, so it's going to be a lot easier for them to go back to that model. American cities were all built around cars being the fundamental mode of transportation.

I also have an old account that despite knowing the correct password AND having access to the recovery email for that account, Google refuses to let me log in and there's no recourse. It's frustrating to say the least.
This stuff easily predates Google's founding, and isn't remotely limited to tech. It's been standard "big corporation" stuff for a very long time.
What do you mean not necessarily. Hyperloop sounds like a complete and utter fantasy. Closely followed by tunnels in LA where cars drive themselves actually.
> Some of its advantages are, in a sense, unfair, because it doesn't manage my OS or its most vital pieces[.] [...] [T]hat's totally fair if you consider the platform as a whole. It's really hard for Linux overall to separate user packages from system packages, mostly because it's all mixed up together in a way that it's not on MacOS or Windows—but a distro could take that approach, if they wanted.

Yeah, this is a valid insight! It's essentially the approach that contemporary free BSDs take, and it's a direction popular distros are gradually trying to move in by shifting end-user applications to containerized package managers like Flatpak, AppImage, and Snappy. Fedora Silverblue is an example of an extreme case, where the base system is read-only.

> #1: Separation of a very complete and capable base GUI OS […]

I suppose the BSDs fall down here, since their base system doesn't include a GUI.

> Every other package manager I've used for any serious length of time, I've repeatedly seen get in weird states that required substantial fiddling before I could use them for anything again, after what should have been boring and normal usage.

I've only really seen this happen when using distro package managers to perform several years worth of release upgrades or convert between distributions.

I like the uniformity of Linux's package management tools (i.e., the ability to use the same tools to manage OS components as end-user software), but I can see how using one thing for OS components, especially if it's reliable and mostly hands-off, but then using something else for end-user software can be appealing.
I worked a food job in high school. When I showed up for the 'interview' the manager just handed me a pen and the contract to sign. My sister also referred me but I think this is how most people were hired as long as the boss could tell you weren't a shit head.
Yes, exactly right.

I'm curious what would indicate otherwise...

Yeah, but the GP comment is using corn (generally substitutable) to make a point about service/line-level food workers. That role isn't exactly specialized labor.

It is pretty clear in this case that the supply exists, just not willing to enter the market at the clearing price.

If this is the case you still have a fundamentally difficult problem, it's just become something like "how can we keep our velocity while also improving test coverage / reliability?" and the solution is usually some new internal tooling.
Noting here that employee shortages tightly follow affordable housing shortages. In FL are tons of nursing jobs but prospective employees would have nowhere to live (housing sharply up and no availability).

Very much so, a paradox given millions flying in defence aid to both Egypt, and Israel.

The kind of lobbyists in Washington are not rooting for the secular state of Israel, but pretty much specifically for the orthodox Haradrim, or the kind of Neftali Bennet.

Equally so, Israelis hating Arabs don't preclude them propping up the criminal Saudi state, and a small portion of Saudi elites who hate Turkey.

Your inbrowser chat app Mantis looks good too. And your text on the homepage got me scrolling to the end. Good luck!
Adding the obligatory "what if M1" comment.

Anandtech tested power draw of an M1 Mac Mini and found 4.2W at idle, 26.5W for the average multithreaded workload. 1/3rd idle power and the same power draw while running multithreaded benchmarks compared to the laptop serving a single client. Would be interesting to compare.

Can't be a labor shortage IF a substitute exists. I believe in this case, I agree with you but you would probably want to say "there can't be a labor shortage on unskilled labor" -> because there is generally a ton of unskilled labor able to be employed

The mind numbing boringness is entirely the point.

This is pretty cool. I was looking into what I would do when my 30 year old engine finally throws a rod through the hood and was interested in building an electric pickup. There aren't many electric motors out there for large vehicles. Mostly stuff for small gauge mine locomotives that would be okay for the most part in cars.

The hard part though would be setting up an E4OD electronic transmission to work with this. Would need to build a computer to control shifting or just replace the entire thing with a manual permanently in second gear or something.

You are either a troll, or have never driven a car in Manhattan. It is without a doubt the craziest, rudest, most agrrssive city I have ever driven in, and is 100% the hardest city to automate driving in.

Separately, keeping a browser up-to-date with new standards and security fixes is a huge undertaking. You would need a lot of engineers invested in such a project.

By the way, Nils from DownThemAll is a great guy. He wrote a scathing blog post at the time Mozilla announced dropping support for "legacy" extensions. Wish I could find it.

The point is to remove the laptop power brick. Let's say the laptop charger is 90% efficient, which is fairly typical. The post claims their 12VDC to 240VAC inverter is 92% efficient. A 12VDC to 20VDC voltage booster would only have to be >83% efficient to beat that setup.

It's telling that you have to pick Iran, Russia, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia to show that the US is not unique in their actions. Especially since 2 of those countries are close US allies. That's a very interesting bar to set, and very unflattering company.

I mean you're correct, all superpowers will eventually resort to the same tactics to get, maintain, or increase their power, even if some are able to give them that fresh, clean smell. But having those countries as a moral baseline doesn't paint the bright picture you're looking for.
Doh!

Yes, of course, carbon would also be a solid.

Note also that common simple compounds such as methane (CH4), water (H20), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are also likely created in abundance.

Weathering of silicates and iron seems to have occurred on Earth mostly due to atmospheric action, rather than in deep space, as I understand.

Off topic: if I wanted to digital store files to pass down to my children that might not be access for decades, what's the best medium to store such data?

Floppy/ZipDrive/CD-ROM/Blueray/USB-A are either obsolete or are on their way out. What's a future proof storage option? (and if you said Cloud Storage {X} - just look at how many services have folded in just the last few years alone). Secondly, what's the best file formats also that will be future proof?
I've gone through exact process.

Initially, I've set up my DSLR, through purchased copy of SparkoCam. Continuous video ring light, green screen behind me, nice zoom for proper proportions of face and nice replaced background.

Insert months of tripping over cables, tripod, camera, green screen; dropping video because something on complex chain gave up; the laptop fan running like a jet airliner; and just general pain-in-the-kiester of it all. Now I have a logitech Brio in front of me. Nowhere near as nice, but more than good enough... and I haven't thought of it since I installed it :)

(I still have a small ring light, because lighting is important as the article indicates, for clarity of facial emotions and context )

I don't think that's true. There are plenty of low-power setups that consume less than 2 watts, for an instant gain of 6/7ths or 85%. DC-to-AC-to-DC conversion is less than ideal, but even at a low estimate of only 90% efficiency at each step, that'd still be only a 1.0-(0.9^3)= ~28% loss.
Well, yes you enter the realm of asymmetric synchronization (I like seqlocks myself), but I feel these are no longer general purpose synchronisation primitives but have often application specific trade-offs. Generic RWlocks are usually not great and do not come with these optimization

Also, yes my critical sections are often closer to the pointer swap case that might color my expectations.

Because FB went ahead with it anyways I'm guessing they assumed they would win any court conflicts about this but wanted to not have to deal with that and offered a lower amount to buy it than what court would cost.
