> Every time the union got involved, the plants just picked up and left.

Unions have been around - especially in manufacturing - long before they started offshoring production. The cost of labor in China and elsewhere was simply too low, unionized or not.
I long for an RPG where I can have an actual conversation with an NPC. One with persistent memory, you know so that they remember that you murdered everyone in their family and stole everything they own. And not greet you every time like they've never seen you before.

Brutal example, but you get my point. Something that is ever changing.
it would certainly make MMOs a little more interesting if raids actually required outthinking an intelligent machine as oppose to exploiting it's preprogrammed responses via rote trial and error
I also think this is because when you're learning Russian as a non-native speaker, the courses focus mainly on Cyrillic (naturally so) so you never really learn [the romanization conventions].

There’s a number of romanization standards for Cyrillic, and which one is the most intuitive might be language-dependent (e.g. what Russian writes as a stressed ‹и› Ukrainian writes as ‹і›, which post-1918 Russian doesn’t use; what Ukrainian writes as ‹и› is closer but not identical to what Russian denotes ‹ы›, which Ukrainian doesn’t use).

Wikipedia has a good summary table[1] of some of the formal standards, but these don’t cover some of the vernacular usage, so to say. The most frequent quirk is probably writing ‹щ› as ‹sch›, as you do, when standards insist on ‹shch› (my guess is because the Belarusian counterpart of ‹щ› is ‹шч›, which would also be written ‹shch›); most confusing is perhaps writing the masculine adjectival ending ‹-ий›, ‹-ый› as ‹-y› or rarely ‹-yy› (writing ‹Navalny› for the surname ‹Навальный› or ‹Zelenskyy› for the surname ‹Зеленський›, maybe because old 19th-century German-inspired romanizations usually wrote it as ‹-i›, merging the ending with its Polish counterpart). I have to say I’ve never seen ‹zsh› instead for ‹zh› for ‹ж›, though.

Empirically, I’ve also found that French people struggle with pronouncing an English-inspired transliteration (‹sh› for ‹ш›, ‹ch› for ‹ч›), but have no problem with finding at least a pronounceable fallback using a Czech/Serbo-Croatian-inspired one (‹š› for ‹ш›, ‹č› for ‹ч›), so diacritics might indeed be underrated here.

The general resistance in this thread is something. Every day on here we all find issues with the industry as a whole, have complaints, identify negative patterns grounded in investment goals or profit. A huge majority of people on here agree: there are problems and things as a whole need to change.

Its not "what use is a union to me", it is that there is an ethical imperative to try and fight against the destructive force of profit seeking itself, when left unchecked. It is about giving agency to the only force that can stand opposed to those destructive forces.
Exactly, and we agree completely on that. I think Vietnam may have heped, but it was Iraq what Putin had in mind, actually, when he decided to attack Ukraine, as there was zero consequence for Britain and the USA even after they went to war against the UN Security Council's advice, and against many European nations... unbelievable how they got away with that with no sanctions or any sort of reprimand even.

Glad I still hated him from when he tried to destroy the web, open source and various technical interoperability standards and free markets.

This conveys the state of the mind, what's important. A more clear example is car mileage, which is expressed in l/(100 km), but can be shortened to area unit like mm² (and it even has a physical interpretation: https://what-if.xkcd.com/11/), but that's not what we need to know (how much mm² of petrol your car burns?).

Similarly, we don't need power of the transfer of the gas, we need to know how much gas gets exchanged, because it's priced per kWh, so removing h from each side actually makes things harder in another equation.
I really am happy to see the direction Google is taking with enhancing the productivity suite — from the new integrated view in Gmail, to linked embeds in Docs, to Smart Chips, and soon Tasks in Docs.

These are major updates but aren't too intrusive.

Project management is still not really available the same way it is on Asana, ClickUp, and the likes, but it's really making us do more in Google Workspace.
It did not work out because the binding ideology wasn't pan-slavism, but rather bad mix of communism and socialism.

Also, instead of returning to our root slavic religion, we got atheism. Without any form of religion, people can not feel that deep bond. Especially Slavic people, who are naturaly very religious.

Yugoslavia was a mistake, but not for reasons you might think.
They predicted mandates, year long restriction, lies about vaccine safety and information manipulation and were actually proved correct on many issues. PhD belong to the most skeptical group of people as do the most stupid ones.

People have predicted that vaccinated people will die in droves. They did not. One the other hand it was also predicted that the unvaccinated do the same. They did not either. Countries without access to vaccination did relatively fine. We will have this discussion again in next autumn.

I am just against vaccines mandates, good control groups (not optional in any scientific endeavour based on statistics) are necessary and I am for the freedom to choose. I am not responsible for the perceived safety of others. I am an anti-vaxxer now, I identify with this position and even support people that plainly deny the existence of the virus. Anti-vaxxer were not a problem, but some people made them one. Shame on them.
As a Slovak / Czech speaker I find Slovio a bit easier to understand than Interslavic, despite the mentioned non-slavic choices.

Interslavic seems to be south-slavic biased.

Purely subjectively, Slovio text reads more aesthetically pleasing. I think this might be because the south-slavic roots are more prominent in our east dialects spoken in the country side, while Slovio seems closer to me to the standard codified language.
I really don't get why everyone is so afraid of undefined behavior. It's really not that bad. Learn and use it as another tool, instead of blindly hoping you won't encounter it and be surprised when you do. Sure, C has some cases of undefined behavior that are very pointless, but in many cases it's actually useful, and allows anything from faster programs and simpler code, to mapping better to assembly (yes, assembly has undefined behaviors too).

C isn't a language to force you to write guaranteed 100% memory-safe UB-free code. But it's still quite a bit easier to do so in C than assembly for each platform you want to target, and you can get pretty damn close to that assembly you would've otherwise written.

(I in particular do not want any forced memory safety - I've written a custom memory manager with its own semantics of ownership; the language doing anything about safety would just prohibit me doing what I want)
I hate it when somebody writes something as depressingly correct as you just did.

(1) If you accept their contributions and distribute your project under the MIT license, your project is distributed under the MIT license.

(2) There is no implicit copyright assignment. The author of the change retains copyright in that code, and you retain copyright in your code. You may want to look in to copyright license agreements in which you get your contributors to agree to allow you to use their code in your project and maybe agree not to revoke that permission.

Boilerplate headers have no real legal standing: copyright applies the minute you type the text of the source code and is only worth what you can prove in a court of law. Should you wish to change the distribution licensing at some point in the future, you will need to secure the permission of all copyright holders. In the absence of copyright assignment or copyright license agreements that means everyone who has ever contributed a line of code.
Agreed. It’s really weird; because of the bundling advantage, they don’t have to be better than Notion, they just need to be good enough that the convenience factor wins out.

It’s also frustrating because if Google played to their strengths, Docs could be best-in-class; the real problem that everybody is struggling with is internal knowledge management. Why can’t Google build me a privately indexed knowledge graph of my internal docs, then let me use Google’s search to answer questions? It’s insane that this is not their product strategy for Docs. This should be “easy” to wire up, they have all of the tech already for google.com search.

People like notion because it is easier to structure nested Wiki docs quickly, but you still have the same problems eventually of needing to curate your knowledge base, and things becoming too hard to find past a certain scale.

Instead we get Data Loss Prevention and a bunch of other box-ticking features which, sure, are how you close enterprise deals to displace Microsoft. But I think they are sleeping on their vulnerability to disruption plays from the bottom of the market, and they need to invest more in building a moat here. Make the free/SMB customers delighted, and you starve potential competitors of the oxygen they need to grow into a competitor at the enterprise level.
This is not about internet trolls, read about Sergei Udaltsov [1] for instance.

He was once seen as charismatic leader of somewhat sane part of leftists in Russia. If he is now willing to think this is war between west and Russia then it will be huge trouble.

His influence cannot be overestimated, if man like him starts to agitate to join Russian military to fight west, we don't know what we will see.

Vivaldi's UI is custom and IME laggier than Chrome native. Plus I've had issues with the browser not showing me the same tab order it holds internally.

Vivaldi's definitely great, but it focuses more on customizability than raw privacy protections. Brave's the reverse. Stock Chrome, but top tier blocking functionality.

One of my clients wants it for everything (typically text, stats, and graphs), and typically views it as just an "add a button" sort of feature, when it winds up being a "reimplement the layout in a different language" sort of thing.

A "pageless document that lives online" is also known as... a web page.

Instead of creating web pages in html, css, and js, people will now create them using familiar "word processing" and "spreadsheet" apps on Google Drive.

And these web pages come with nice fine-grained access controls -- authors can specify who is able to view, comment on, and edit their documents with a few clicks.

Makes perfect sense.
The idea of management being the only road for advancement has always seemed extremely self-destructive to me. I recently quit my job as a senior developer at a company because they wouldn't even pay me one of the upper pay scales for developers, because a requirement for that was that I'd have to take some sort of organisational responsibility outside my team. The fact that I did a lot of organisation and steering inside my team, which was considered one of the best performing teams there, didn't matter.

My dad has also always refused managerial responsibilities, but he was very much appreciated at his company. He said he had nobody below him and only one person above him, and he made more money than his boss (until his boss was replaced and the new boss gave himself a raise so he made more). My dad did get responsibility for all sorts of projects, just not for the people on those projects. And he has always remained very hands-on, sometimes replacing an entire team on his own.

It's basically what I want, but a lot of companies are apparently structured too rigidly to allow this.
I think the OP is wondering why, since the two answers seem to be contradictory positions.

IANAL, but here's my understanding: in the US copyright is automatic. You gain the copyright in anything you write automatically unless you explicitly give it up. A PR does not have this explicitness so it doesn't transfer the copyright. OTOH, the license choice is not an automatic right. By PR'ing on a repo with a license, you are implicitly choosing that license.

The GitHub Terms and Conditions make this implicitness more explicit, but AFAICT it's not theoretically necessary. However clarity is always super useful in a legal context.

Would you have preferred that he didn't spend his gains on charity?

EDIT: Also, did Bill Gates steal anything? Manipulation and monopolies are fundamentally wrong, but they do not amount to stealing. IF they do, then the Carnegies and Rockefellers were 'stealing' as well. Maybe, by your logic, we should take away all those libraries Carnegie built too?
Immigration is beneficial for wealthier citizens. Depending on the demographic they do depress wages because expectations are simply lower. They also compete especially with people in low-income brackets. A rising GDP from immigration is trivial, it does not mean that it is beneficial for everyone in society. On the contrary, I think some economic predictions just fall very short here and that they might be correct about their reservations because they can see that they need to compete with more people.

If your local conditions are better than 95% of the globe, why would not promoting local condition be ever irrational?

Around here that's a rare story. Actually, I know nobody that did try this and succeeded. But then we don't have true offline retailers around here; those with offline stores sell most of their GPU stock in their online store at inflated prices. So I tend to chalk that up to survivorship bias ;-)

That's in Germany, we have some of the most expensive electricity in the world, and then the prices exploded since about 09/2021: Previously the cheapest offer was about 0.27€/kWh or maybe even 2c less if you're lucky; now we're at 0.35 to 0.45 for new contracts, depending on the region. I haven't checked the last few months (and especially not in the last week), but when I checked in early 12/2021 mining still netted some money (IIRC in the ballpark of 3 Euro/day/GPU).
Rockefeller Center and Carnegie Hall are more well known than the robber barons they are named after. The Goldwater Scholarship is prestigious, yet is named after an architect of the Southern Strategy.

Such a sad state of affairs where billionaires can basically buy their image with the help of media, the same media that is supposed to keep in check.

So, pretty much no change in the way things work. While they might not have been billionaires in the past, they were rich. Heck, you don't even need to be a billionaire today. Simply rich enough will do.

And it isn't like "The media" has a long history of truthfullness: This has really been a development of the last century. Papers in the 1800s printed falsehoods for sales. The "Spanish Flu" being call 'spanish' is really a result of wartime censorship. War often brings censorship itself. Right now, a lot of media is owned by a few companies. The bright side is that it is easier for everyday citizens to report on things around them (thanks, internet) but everyday folks don't have access to folks like Gates.

I'm not sure where you got that he was a covid expert, though. The main reason the media would interview him is because of his foundation's past 'experience' with communicable disease. Doesn't make him an expert, just possibly a smarter ask than, say, asking me about it.
Train up a SecOps team
I agree that remembering these events is a crucial enterprise in a moment like this.

And, since both wars are based on bombastic lies, it seems consistent, given this act of remembering, to call the aggressor in each to account.

With these memories still fresh in terms of the cognition of the collective internet, perhaps now we can begin to get serious about a future in which the streams of fantasy which are reliably produced by hegemonic states (or mutually-assured-destructive states) are muted indefinitely, and the capacity for capricious warfare stemming from them dismantled.
Hopefully this post won’t get flagged, as it happened to the ones that had been posted when first clear evidence about the Gates’s connection with Epstein had showed up.

I've been playing around with an idea in this space for a long time but made no progress on it.

Meetup.com is now rubbish (mostly singles events, walking tours, scam investment talks etc) and Discord is too geographically distributed to be the right answer.

Been thinking about launching a no code app that basically sets up whatsapp distribution lists plus a low touch website. That's all that's really needed.
How is it handwavy? They are an ad agency, and their sales pitch is an ad delivery model that respects user privacy (they download an entire country catalog in bulk and do all matching locally).

The coin works such that Brave buys BAT with a percentage of their normal money ad revenue, distribute it to users who can then use that to tip content creators with Brave's tipping service. Content creators can then sell BAT for real money, and there's always someone buying, namely Brave. It's pretty much the least scammy crypto coin I've come across.

> This is absolute bullshit.

I’ve managed teams where the devs just wanted to be left alone to build things and they were skilled enough to manage their own career growth, which made my job as a manager very easy.

I’ve also managed teams where, before I took over, the devs had consistently been lied to by the organization leadership, hadn’t been given the work that would grow their skills and confidence, and needed constant coaching and a platform to vent. This team didn’t want to “be left alone to do their job”. This was a very hard management job.

Your comment suggests that you’ve only experienced the first case of being a manager, which may be why you strongly disagree with the other comment.
