> Of which Ice Hockey is the only one really played outside of America

This is hilariously false. Baseball is wildly popular outside of the US, in particular in Japan and the Dominican Republic. Basketball is also incredibly popular outside the US.

Just because it's not soccer and the people aren't white doesn't mean it's not popular. By that same metric baseball isn't even that popular in the US.
>> "To stay competitive, we need to remove duplication of work now that we are one Arm; stop work that is no longer critical to our future success; and think about how we get work done."

Sounds good, but it is extremely likely a strong sign that the executive suite does not know what they are doing.

A company cannot achieve greatness by cost-cutting.

This is especially so in these times where it is so hard to find talent. Even if there are some redundancies, your key asset is an existing talent pool that has already been recruited and is up to speed on your products, technology, and internal processes. Strategically redeploying them to greater effect is a sign of knowledge & strength. Merely cutting and hacking is a sign of either incompetence, or that they DGAF and are trying to temporarily make the numbers look better for some near-term result (e.g., the likely pending new China IPO mentioned in the article), and leaving the resulting problems for their successors to deal with.

It is really rather obscene.
> What does the author mean when they say "implement a speculative approach"?

My guess is that they want to speed up testing by being able to say "this PR only touches these files, and we know they are only tested by these tests, so we don't need to run all the other tests". And instead of needing to define these connections manually, it should be possible to use information from previous tests runs (although that information may be out of date depending on the changes being made, making it speculative). Anyways, just a guess
How are all the young people we churn out of colleges going to find employment if someone has acquired skills or experience to do the job of 3-4 people?

Maybe it’s not a bad thing to employ two or three people at 2x cost. Or we’d end up with unemployment or underemployment.
Yep. I also had a phase of "use Emacs for everything, literally" but I have it behind me. I now I use it as the editor. I use it to edit EvEryThIng.
From the headline on better.dev it says "Hey I'm Chris Sev. Here's My Courses", shouldn't it be "Here are my courses"?

It's the difference between written English and spoken English.

In conversation, it's not unusual for someone to use "here's" in this context. To be correct, especially for display in print or on a screen, the correct words are "here are."

I think that people use "here's" instead of "here are" because "here are" can be difficult to say quickly in conversation, and can sound like "herere," which is indistinct and unpleasant-sounding.

The internet has popularized the use of spoken English online because most English speakers speak English well enough, but fewer English speakers write English well.
Thanks for the feedback. The part that is fake is actually relatively small. Given that, I'm surprised to see this article on the front page; perhaps it's popular partly because readers are misunderstanding it.
"Part of the reason", well, sure, especially if you hedge and don't specify whether "part" means 1-2% or 60-80%.

AFAICT the most of the refugees generally go to the neighbouring countries. This time that's the EU and Moldova.

Jordan, which took in enormous numbers in 2015 IIRC, isn't taking in many now, and that's not a surprise, and I don't think racism is to blame either.
I think the low entropy in the early universe was mostly/entirely due to gravity- a uniformly mixed universe could collapse into denser regions in lots of ways, but (eg) one black hole at the other end of time is very high entropy.

"According to the Big Bang theory, the Universe was initially very hot with energy distributed uniformly. For a system in which gravity is important, such as the universe, this is a low-entropy state (compared to a high-entropy state of having all matter collapsed into black holes, a state to which the system may eventually evolve)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_as_an_arrow_of_time#Ov...
It is skewed.

This is one of those things I Can't Say in most places, but (unless you transitioned in elementary school) the MtF experience in tech and the cis female experience are totally different, and they (the MtFs) know it, because so much of our work is done online where you can be whatever gender/sex you want. I know how people reacted to me when they thought I was male vs. female.

Age plays into it, too. Everything was fine before I went through puberty, but a lot of young techie men have a really hard time with their sexuality and take that out on their female colleagues in various ways. (I've also seen some gross reversals in female-dominated professions re: issues with men, so...) Now that I'm in my 30s and the men in that insecure/figuring things out age range aren't interested, it's better again.
Well the suggestion wasn't that you cut every flight closely, it's more that you should bring your average down.

For the purpose of the direct trade-off, pick a median flight.

Don't forget about BLM inspired attacks such as Waukesha and the recent assassination attempt on a Mayor (1). It is strange the secret service is concentrating on a small, miniscule number of mentally ill people rather than a focused network.

Now you tell me! I should just split my repos and my merge conflict will go away?
AMD really also should be benched with KPTI turned on, since they've got a Meltdown-style vulnerability (discovered by the same team) they've left unpatched because "KPTI fixes it", but they also want KPTI off-by-default because it tanks their benchmarks. It also completely breaks KASLR (and that's been broken on AMD for a while thanks to prior work from the same team).

https://mlq.me/download/amdprefetch.pdf

Sadly people don't seem to take AMD vulnerabilities very seriously, Specter/Meltdown were trumpeted from the rooftops but when AMD leaves vulnerable defaults because mitigations would tank their benchmarks then it's fine, and everyone continues to benchmark in vulnerable configurations since it's "manufacturer-recommended".

There seems to be a mindset for many that because the initial vulnerabilities didn't affect AMD that they're invulnerable forever.
Not right now, we are focused on B2B and enabling other developers to build on top of our platform. Our goal is to build the pipes and promote new breed of debt focused fintechs. We are working with some stealth fintechs solving both of the ideas you mentioned!
I'm super interested in online parametric CAD tools, I thought I had seem them all. I just discovered this one, it's incredible, so much closer to a professional desktop parametric CAD package and its only running in the browser.

There is a demo here: http://web-cad.org

They seem to have developed their own Parametric NERBS Kernel and constraint solver in javascript, seriously impressive work for an open source project.
Something like AdNauseum?
While it's true that requirements come from the stakeholders, often the stakeholders don't really have them, they don't know them, and when they think they know them, often those are not the "real requirements" but some proxies which may even need to be violated to get a good product - i.e. I may think that a significant requirement is to ensure that some thingamajig very reliable and has many redundant duplicates/backups, but a better solution is a design that removes that thingamajig at all.

The key problem in obtaining the requirements is not a problem of communication (as the original article states) but in the work that needs to be done by (or with) the stakeholders to figure out the actual requirements. And I'm not talking about making the detailed spec, I'm talking about the big conceptual requirements which often after some proper analysis get a fundamental change of perspective. This is the main issue in making good products. If you simply make a spec for the requirements the stakeholders initially think they have, your success will depend on how much thought and work they have given to choosing these requirements, and often that will be lacking.

Same story. Got four different browsers I work with.
The problem is you eventually need the things k8s offers and you end up implementing part of k8s, badly. I've seen bigish places that state "we aren't Google" as an argument to not use k8s, containers, etc but don't consider that their tech stacks are a Hodge Podge of bespoke glue, a mass of technical debt and a bus factor of generally 1 or 2.
Initial news always spreads further and faster than updates. This is normal and should have been expected by the company. They took the risk of rushing and get to suffer the consequences.

Their unit tests used some music videos, and only because Youtube's website uses different javascript for such videos. It's a stretch to call that advertising, I don't believe I'd ever read the tests code before the complaint.

Best option is to use software that supports SOCKS.
Alternatively you can set up local proxies (eg stunnel) or inject SOCKS support into the TCP calls of your app (eg. ProxyChains)

Tor only supports TCP, so you cannot route all traffic over Tor, you will have to drop a bunch.

Do you have a source for that ? Unless those apps are now systematically "phoning home" and the servers are setup to refuse requests from Russia, it's not obvious how they would "stop working".
Shadows are an essential design element of Windows 3.1, they are just used differently. In flat design a button is a flat piece of paper that may cast a shadow below it because it floats above the layer below it. In Windows 3.1 [1] a button is instead a 3d object that casts a shadow on itself, but because it's "glued" to the UI it doesn't cast a shadow below it.

I agree that they are very different though. Windows 2.11 is a flat design [2], Windows 3 - XP are a design philosophy of physical metaphors.

It would definitely be a good move to pay for additional hires at less than $500k unless they are writing their own $10m products; no disagreement there.

What is the threshold, what about saving 1 person from dying ?
Historically, torture was far more likely to be used on accusers and witnesses than presumed perpetrators. The idea is that if you're tasked with some sort of policing role and can't possibly figure out who is in the wrong, you just beat up both the accuser and the alleged perp. Chinese justice in the imperial era worked pretty much the same way: criminal punishment was neither explicitly retaliative nor restorative in intent. The basic dynamics is that this hopefully makes it less likely for people to lie, since no one sane would want to risk being beat up unless they had an actual grievance and no other way of addressing it.
This sounds like an extremely uncharitable interpretation of what (if genuine) is a very brave thing to do.

For some further information: Marina Ovsyannikova has been charged with "organizing an unauthorized public event" [0]. The punishment can be a fine, community service or up to 10 days in jail.

So she seems to not be charged with the new law that could land her 15 years in prison.

Corroboration of the theory that it was staged? Or a sign that Russia is slowly allowing more people to speak out against the war? Or something completely different? I truly do not know what to believe these days.

The shift in incentives would encourage more transactions for the sake of monetisation.
Having a life-long love affair with Japanese Zen, and a ten year zazen practice, the most useful insight for me comes from Claire Gesshin Greenwood's book, Bow First, Ask Questions Later. <quote> Most teachers of Zen, in Japan at least, will tell you that Zen is "not about thinking," and that practice is something you do primarily with your body. </quote> Soto Zen's practice of Shinkantaza, 'Just Sitting' fits well this. It's the posture, stupid.

A few more snippets from Gesshin's book: In the Zen tradition especially, there is a lot of emphasis placed on "not thinking." In "Universal Instructions for Zazen", Dogen Zenji wrote, "Think of not-thinking. How do you think of not-thinking. Non-thinking. This in itself is the essential art of zazen."

So generally (in Japanese Zen) the advice given is to just practice without trying to understand what is happening, because the only way to actually learn something is to engage with the thing itself without adding your own idea. If you add your own idea, then you are just engaging with your idea, not the thing you are trying to learn. I should add that this is all advice that I have personally received.
They are all part of the same system, a system which has only the trappings of a democracy, but in no practical sense is the government from the people, by the people to the people. It is just a giant gang warfare between warring plutocratic and bureaucratic factions. Trump, Biden, Bush, Obama. They all tortured, they all bombed, they all let people die without healthcare while spending billions in the biggest military machine of the world, for "defense".
It is about time people wake up and stop letting those criminals divide us in their fictional turfs.

Just to give one example, CI pipelines seem to fail all the time. For closed source and open source project. Just like this, it worked in the last commit and in the new commit it fails despite the test suite passing. The ultimate reason is routine tasks pulling in a ton of complexity of which only a tiny fraction is being used.

At workplaces this creates a lot of absurd situations that eat up insane amounts of productivity.

Or another example, it's pretty common that water pipes don't work as expected. (Congestion, low pressure, undesired backflow, tricky to get water at body temperature...) Nobody really complains, everybody lives with it and learns to completely ignore it. I'm not saying these problems occur everywhere 100% of the time but often enough to show there's something structurally not working
117 subscriber-only videos ... around 150 views on average ... 815 for the most viewed.

so "bandwidth usage was within the top 1 percent of Vimeo users" says they have no audience and no traffic, doesn't it? The whole platform.
Yup, but unlike us, they had '08 before them to look at and go 'hmmmm.... I've seen this before'. (I was a '10 graduate).

We (Millennials) mostly believed what we were told, due to both not having experienced a shock like that before + having more limited information access. Gen Z has enough contrary evidence and ability to share things that they just took a Fast Pass for the cynicism line. And good for them, honestly.
Zelensky was elected in 2019, five years later, does that change yours? Are you even going to talk about that at all?

Funny that Wikipedia lists a lot of things happening in December and January too. "100% wrong" is misleading as always. Looks like the Ukrainian people took the initiative on this one.

Even if true, this still backfires. While this got the headlines everywhere, there is no significant pro-russian sentiment as a result, at least on the surface. So it's either an elites conflict getting from under the rug or an actual protest. As a Ukrainian, I am fine with both.

You were relying on the output of one person and that person leaving caused you to close that office. You were already in that boat.

I did a similar analysis a year ago and came to the conclusion that ProseMirror (https://prosemirror.net) was the right choice for my project. ProseMirror is an excellent toolkit for building your own rich text components and happens to also be written by the author of CodeMirror. It does not give you as quick an out of the box experience as slate (or any of the other rich text libraries out there) but its speed and flexibility is excellent.

True. Buy my training is in military, process control, and nuclear. In those context, I've never heard a project manager say "make it look like a game". Whereas in business apps, I have heard that many times.

My take is that Vimeo is trying to increase their overall margins. So in these cases the options for the users are to convert to a higher margin custom plan -or- they remove them from service which also boosts overall margins by removing low margin customers.
Most dude ranchers I've met have barely figured out text messaging and email.

To assume that they know about Wix, or Squarespace, or even AirBnB, vastly overestimates their level of technical capability.

That's the gap you can fill. Find Luddite industries, and serve them. There is far more opportunity there than I think anyone realizes.

I say this as someone building a job board around a decidedly non-Luddite industry (www.rtljobs.com). If a really tech savvy industry segment can use the help, imagine what the Luddites need!
The very early universe more or less must have had much lower entropy than we do today, you don't need to wind back all the way. A uniformly mixed goop of a universe is going to be very low entropy due to all the different ways it could collapse under the influence of gravity.
What resources led you to try:

default.nix (i'm guessing):

derivation {
name = "simple";
builder = "${bash}/bin/bash";
args = [ ./simple_builder.sh ];
inherit gcc coreutils;
src = ./simple.c;
system = builtins.currentSystem;
}

Command:

nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./default.nix {}'

Rather than something like this[0]:

default.nix:

with (import <nixpkgs> {});
derivation {
name = "simple";
builder = "${bash}/bin/bash";
args = [ ./simple_builder.sh ];
inherit gcc coreutils;
src = ./simple.c;
system = builtins.currentSystem;
}

Which can be built with:

nix build

We should fix the docs that led your version rather than the second.

I'm not opposed to this. Robert Kraft financed Gillette Stadium privately and the state/city contributed to fund infrastructure upgrades. So as an example...

While Gillette Stadium accepted $72 million in public funding for construction, or 17 percent of the project’s total cost, Heinz Field, the Steelers’ home, cost taxpayers $171.6 million, or 61 percent of the project’s total cost.

...the problem lies in most instances the teams blackmail local government into excessive funding for stadium only project. They are not asking to just have roads, sewers and other infra covered by the tax payers.

Another things about Gillete is they built a multi-use commercial park around the stadium to actually drive more of that revenue and growth these deals typically promise but don't deliver.
New ships are nice (clean), but there will always be issues that crop up, things that don't work, etc. It's like buying a pre-production model of a brand new car when no one has test driven it yet.
