I'm a little worried about how that would affect the lower class in the short term. It's easy to say that they'll get more money as they'll get a day of overtime, but I think it's more likely that a lot of people will find that businesses just staffed up more for low skilled positions (and eventually for skilled positions), and then people have more time but are only making 80% of what they were previously, and can't afford both rent and food together in a given month anymore.

I think the instability this would cause i the lower class would be devastating. The very people that don't have savings and that can't easily weather large financial events would have once forced on them all at the same time.
What is missing from this demo compared to the full game? I thought that even the full game was this minimalistic.

It is a "pugio", a sort of small dagger sidearm for Roman soldiers. I can't think of any reason to refer to it as a short sword in English as that conjures up the image of a much larger weapon. These are essentially the same as the daggers used to kill Julius Caesar, for example.

I had a unique experience speaking with someone at Stripe recently. My only conversation was very jarring. The person was rude. Based off other comments, it looks like others are out there with similar experiences. This was unexpected to me from a company that I admire. That being said, I would have still enjoyed the opportunity to continue the interview process which is maybe telling. I recognize challenges in the space, yet this was the worst process I had gone through so far.

The thinking is probably that more people are likely to be heading somewhere for the weekend in the summer or at least doing some Friday evening activity.

In general though I observe that I'm seeing a lot fewer scheduled Friday meetings than on other days and, while things sometimes need to get handled on Friday afternoon, people are often pretty apologetic is they schedule a Friday PM meeting.
They seem to keep giving more and more confidence in their language semantic ai.

Quoted words in the search should return only pages with that actually on the page. That used to work. Now it often shows pages that don't contain it all, not in the search results page itself, nor on the page when you go there. So you'd think it just ignored the quoted text and gave me results without it instead, right? Wrong. Removing the quoted text to either unquoted text or removing it entirely both result in different results. So it DOES process the quotes SOMEHOW. But it's not a clear RULE because probably it's also just processed as an input to the semantics engine. Just tell me you don't have any pages with the text instead, please. Which it actually also some sometimes...

It's an unfixable mess. And I don't think this can be turned back. Building a competitor costs hundreds of billions. A competitor will likely end up taking the same approach anyway.

I thought it was more than a little bizarre, in a thread where people are tlaking about being brain raped by the brothers (YC pr had me convinced, too, I had no clue), the YC people that show up to defend him are: the CEO of Coinbase, a guy that's know for running a scam and defending himself on Twitter (rebranded) and that PG had the nerve to defend in essay about "Haters", and the lead mod, who isn't obviously a mod until he is.

I recently did a contract where I negotiated a 4 day week. Hard to measure, but my hunch is I still produced about the same level of output. But I was happier, and I also think I was able to make better decisions with the added brain rest.
No, that's not true, and it's that fantasy which gets us the "butts-in-seats" management style.

This is correlated first to workplace morale and second to the individual worker. The workers who would do this from home are the same workers who would do it in the office. And employers who make their workers' lives miserable will have endemic problems with people not putting in effort.

Reason's it's "like" FOSS:

> You can use it for free

...Within certain restrictions. Also, lots of proprietary stuff is available for free or close enough.

> You can view the source code

There's actually sort of fair, although it only extends to the functions in the language; "Older or core functions written in C are not viewable this way", and I doubt this extends to the underlying engine.

> You can modify it

Again, provided you stay in the "userspace" parts and don't want to share your changes.

> You can contribute

... stuff that you built in Wolfram, but "we don’t really believe in user contributions to the core language".

> There is a supportive (and supported) community

https://community.oracle.com/hub/

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home

Forgive me if I fail to be impressed.

> There is active development

Until there isn't, at which point the single point of failure suddenly does matter. Also, not much of a standard; IBM still develops Db2, y'know.

Lake Ontario has about 393 cubic miles of volume. To raise the temperature by 1 centigrade you would need about 10^18 joules. So about 455 billion kilowatt hours. I don't believe the cooling needs of Toronto will impact the lake that drastically.

Hey, this sounds like the goal of the low code industry. To deliver an authoring experience where you don't have to worry about the semantics of code do develop software. It works really well in certain contexts, but a word of warning - there are trade offs. For instance, putting constraints on how applications talk to each other using APIs may seem limiting, but it does provide a standard interface that can be relied on for software to connect with one another.
But you would. People here preach that every single day.

It's very hard to isolate load from different use cases, use a mixture of different technologies or combine batch, event driven and request/response paradigms within a monolith though.

I think certain things are easier to change in a monolith, where as other things are easier to change in a service based design. Depends what mistakes you've made along the way or how the spec/environment changes.
Yeah that's a good point. Clicks might work better here than hovers.
FYI - Tires use synthetic rubber, which is just more plastic. Natural rubber would be way too expensive and difficult to extract at mass scale.
Scrape-paste is one of the easiest way to make significant money, if it takes off, and that’s why these sites are made.

I think, google does well in general with coding or SO questions, but will show you these low quality sites when the questions are new or very specific and difficult to answer. Maybe, time to apply your head more.

Depends on the jurisdiction. In New Jersey, for example, "even when a job is terminable at will, a promissory estoppel claim can arise from rescission or revocation of a job offer 'where there is denial of a good faith opportunity to perform after a prospective employee has resigned from an existing position in reliance upon a firm job offer.'" But in New York, courts "have rejected such a claim as a matter of law, declining to make a distinction between the time period before and after at-will employment begins."

Thanks for the very detailed and helpful reply.

Do you know of any good books or references where I could learn more about these things?

The books that are usually recommended seems to be CUDA-centric and out of date. I'm interested in learning the more general concepts you talk about in your answer, so that I can effectively write e.g. monte carlo simulations on arbitrary GPU hardware. (I don't have an Nvidia GPU!)

> A great comment to refer to the next time some young coder that never lived through IE6 says it's great to have one single engine everywhere.

OP is suggesting that Chrome should have spearheaded a spec that no one but Intel and Google ever showed any interest in. How would that not have been literally "they like a standard (or propose one), they implement it, use it on their projects like google doc, and let the competition deal with the mess"[1]?

Instead they're implementing a spec with broad involvement and support across browsers, it's just taking longer. Seems like exactly how we'd want things to go.

Responsive images are kind of funny in the sense that my webpages are nearly twice the size on mobile vs my laptop. The screen may be smaller, but the CSS pixel ratio is 1 on my laptop vs 3 on an iPhone.
hi i work at hack club :) it's super fun and a good environment. supporting teen hackers who are learning to code is my life now :D
The iJournaling paper was published in 2017 (and like many papers, it took multiple rounds of paper submissions before it was finally accepted; the academic procress is rigorous, and many program committees are especially picky).

The jJournaling ideas hit the upstream kernel in 2021 as ext4 fast commits, and no I don't consider it production ready yet. If the fast commits journal gets corrupted, it's possible that the file system will not be automatically recoverable, and may even lead to kernel crashes. I'd give it another year or so before it's completely ready for prime time.

But the other reason for the four year delay between 2017 and 2021 is because I had to find the business justification (and after that, the budget and head count) to invest the SWE time to actually implement the idea. A lot of people want new sexy file system features, but very few people are willing to PAY for them. So part of the job of an open source maintainer is not just to perform quality control and create a technical roadmap, but also to help the developers workin on that subsystem to make business cases to their respective employers to make a particular investment. The dirty little secret is that most people are pretty happy with the file systems as they currently exist; the bottleneck is often not the file system, and while certain file system features are _nice_, they very much aren't critical --- or at least not enough that people are willing to pay the SWE cost for them.
I spent days going through every blog post I could find for tips on how to fix it, including booting to recovery mode -- it would reboot as I scrolled through the recovery menu and even when I got as far as trying to do the factory reset, it would reboot before it even started the reset. I let it reboot itself until it ran out of battery and waited a day after that to let it completely drain. Even tried putting it in the freezer.
All New Free Plans
It's not a demo, it's a complete product already being sold. I think it's nice that it isn't a traditional game.
I think it's already usable in a way that BεTRFS is not. Like it can be installed on modern kernels, and there are a handful of people using it as their root filesystem today.

I don't think it being out-of-tree is a huge deal per se. ZFS is also out-of-tree. For use on personal systems, I think the bigger thing is that the on-disk format is not officially stable/permanent yet. But if that comes before the thing is merged to the Linux kernel, I'd be willing to try it on a personal system.

Try it at your own risk, of course, but BCacheFS doesn't look like any extra work to set up on NixOS if you wanna try it there— if you tell NixOS that you wanna use bcachefs it'll just transparently pull in the required kernel for you.

Idk about filesystems development, but I agree that eventually it would be ideal for BCacheFS to have a sizeable development and maintenance team. Maybe in the early stages, though, it's good for it to have the kind of coherence and simplicity required to fit all in one person's head. Time will tell, I guess!
How about a four day week and a three day week? That would even out the economy through the week and accommodate different appetites for work.
I think probably because Linux has no true native UI toolkit, and the two that are closest (GTK and Qt) both bring their own sets of challenges that skew the cost:benefit ratio negative, while this isn’t true for the toolkits for other platforms.

I have no involvement in this project however, so this is just speculation.
