Why document?

I've gotten that advice, but I've almost never seen it to be helpful:

- It's almost impossible to win a law suit for being fired, unless it's clearly based on sex/race/etc.

- If you sue, you'll burn bridges

- If future employers find out you sued, they won't want to hire you.

It's one of those things that's nice in abstract, but in practice, seems like a waste of time, relative to practising for interviews, applying for jobs, or trying to fix things with the old employer.

My advice is to jump ship, and leave on good terms.

Companies aren't people. I once worked for a company which wasn't a great employer, but I'm glad I left on good terms. The place no longer exists, and there are lots of people there whom I value.
I worked at Rareware in that same era, similarly ridiculous amounts of SGI hardware in the building. As I recall each artist had an SGI Indigo2 and later on the SGI O2 because the standard artist workstation. I believe our lead artist used an SGI Onyx. Programmers had Indy2's with the internal N64 development boards.

There were at least 2 rack mounted SGI machines used for large-scale rendering jobs (ie promotional images, magazine covers etc). May have been SGI Challenges (I know one certainly was) and were kept off-limits to most staff, at the time they were rumored to cost $250k each.
At FAANG I once got passed a resume with a photo.

It was a fairly attractive woman, either quality being rare for our org. But its even more rare to have a photo on your resume.

But the article is right - it hurt them. It made her look like she didn’t have confidence in her engineering skills - and that she was trying to cash in on being a minority. What other reason could there be? (legitimate question)

It’s hard then to imagine who a picture helps. Someone that confirms stereotypes? Why would you even need a photo then.

p.s. Afterwards I emailed the recruiter to say they should remove photos, put some placeholder.
> I think "everything works out of the box" is mostly true for most non-Apple laptops nowadays for Linux, but I'm not sure it will ever be the case for macbooks (unless Apple decides to make sure it's the case, which seems fairly unlikely).

My understanding is that "everything works out of the box" is still restricted to very specific products line when it comes to laptops and linux. And that the new Apple Silicon macbooks might actually make this situation a lot better because most of the hardware is Apple's and they seems to keep a more or less stable binary interface between hardware components even across hardware generations (presumably for their own benefit when writing their own firmware). So while the support isn't there yet (well, it's in Alpha), once it is there we might expect Apple laptops to have some of the best linux support going forwards.
Thanks everyone for the HN hug of death on this little side project of mine! It's been crazyyyy. And if it's okay I also just wanted to give a small shout out to my other project at https://catche.co - we've got about 30 people on that waitlist, check it out!

States are especially meaningful here. I chose my state based on the pro worker laws it has (I benefited from being able to get more parental leave), less per taxpayer debt burden which result in lower taxes from things like underfunded pension debt which I do not benefit from, and pro women's right's laws (I have a wife and daughter who benefit from access to abortions and women's healthcare in general).

There is also Medicaid to think about which is also on a state level.

I'm not sure why "amount over reserve / list" is a meaningful metric. It's clear that in a lot of cases the list prices are intentionally below market to attract more bidders and produce the appearance of more competition at open houses and the like.

It's a very manipulated and manipulable metric.
Nonsense. It is simple supply and demand. If we build on a scale not seen for generations, and eliminate tax benefits to owning (the principal residence tax exemption), then prices will come down.

the complaints in the beginning about theme and style are accurate, but there is a good reason for those things: backwards compatibility.

Those control panel applets still exist because of COM interoperability with other things. Those deep-down dialogs that still use WinForms are there because some feature that MS is supporting relies on the library that produces that dialog to be present and unchanged for compatibility reasons.

Apple DGAF about backwards compatibility, which definitely has advantages when it comes to keeping things up to date, but I'd like to see someone on Apple run a game or application released for OS9. I can run games released for Windows 95 all day long, and they run well.

Those hard corners in Windows are there for good reasons. They're ugly, they give a bad impression, and the customers who rely on them are extremely grateful for them.
Never said I subscribed to “If you build it they will come” thinking and it's not the question asked. I have no illusion on what it takes to build a product, then a company around it, and the amount of work it takes to make both successful.
That's right, it streams every search result match back to your browser and the Elm code on the frontend then calculates the stats live.

So the reason they bounce around is because new results are streaming in, and it's updating the chart live based on those.

I really wish people would read their sources, and specifically with the CDC, read the sources the CDC is using. The CDC page you referenced uses https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm as its only source for this recommendation.

The study monitors outcomes for a group that were all infected at some point in 2020. The vaccine was released at the end of 2020. The study monitors the infection status of these people in May-June 2021. It's purposefully selecting people who had no recent exposure via natural infection and comparing them to people that recently had the vaccine. I don't know how they can use this to support their recommendation with a straight face.
I wonder why they didn't just include an option to use a non-backtracking algorithm, like re2's[1]. As far as I know, that would completely eliminate the possibility of catastrophic backtracking happening.

What makes Mexican cuisine popular beside the usual reasons like taste and flavors is that it lends itself very well to the operations of fast food businesses with all those diverse and rich offerings that make the life of the business owner easier and enjoyable than with other challenging cuisines like that of Horn of Africa to adopt to the type of operation seen in this kind of establishments.
I don't know all cases, but I know people with blank posters was detained and just had a preventive conversation with them and then they were released. And I think in most cases if you don't resist and don't fight with the police, and don't do something very dangerous, then no very serious punishments will be applied to you. Perhaps there are exceptional cases, but they need to be considered especially, perhaps there are special circumstances, . The Western press uses the same techniques as the Russian press often chooses only cases that are beneficial to them and exaggerates their number, so you need to carefully examine different cases and study sources from different sides if possible. I'm not saying that everything in Russia is perfectly democratic and free, I just want to show that everything is not as gloomy as the Western media want to show.

I've thought about why this has been the most stable system experience for me, and I think it comes down to simplicity: my linux system just has far fewer moving parts than my mac did (I can read the process list and mostly understand everything that's running at any given time).

I think the main problem is that the simplicity of my system comes from the fact that I have set up each part of it, by hand, to do exactly what I want it to do, which is definitely _not_ realistic for the majority of users (for whom a mac is considerably easier to set up, even if less stable).

I have no idea whether advertising works or not, but I see this "successful businesses do it, therefore it it works" argument applied to so many different things and it always baffles me. Besides not having much substance beyond an appeal to authority, I don't think I've ever seen an example of a company that doesn't engage in some number of financially wasteful behaviors with dubious or at least unquantifiable value.
Rencoding is an awful idea.

I feel like both of these things can be problems.

If you view housing and ownership of your domicile as something that should be accessible to people, then housing necessarily cannot be viewed as an investment vehicle and large corporations, REITs, wallstreet, etc. need to be excluded so that more supply can be available to "correct" buyers.

Limiting these groups does help on the supply-side. While it may not be the root cause, it's far better than showering the demand-side with cash like tax breaks for first-time home buyers.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
There are entire industries built around designing systems to automate the process of resume review BECAUSE people like this have lists of “What I want (and don’t want) to see”.
It's not a bijection either. If we take your level of pedantry seriously, it's nothing. There are no mathematical structures in play. I'm using natural language words to describe informal ideas outside of any mathematical system.

Let's use bloogidy-blop to avoid silly arguments over sequences of characters that have clear contextual meaning which you refuse to acknowledge for some reason :)

I'm not sure what your second point is supposed to be. Here's the relevant quotes:

>>> Humans can create notation and formalisms, but they do not invent the truths those mathematics represent.

>> The land represented by a map exists independently of humanity. Another intelligent species would have to come up with a roughly isomorphic representation if they wanted a similar tool.

> Which gets to the second point, if there is a true isomorphism between the map and the land, it doesn't matter that one isn't the other. That would mean that the land is constrained by the same axioms as the 'map', which gives some significance to them.

Right... but I didn't say that there was a bloogidy-blop between maps and land. I said that a useful alien map would have to be roughly bloogidy-blop to our maps. So I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here that is relevant to my original post.

Pretty much.

With the advent of semi fabs like TSMC, STM, etc. making their processes more accessible to smaller fabless companies, 3dfx, PowerVR, ATI, Nvidia and other startups in the 3D space back then, realized they can replace all those expensive discrete RISC chips SGI was using for their massive 'reality engine' PCBs, and instead design a cheaper and more efficient custom ASIC from the ground up that does nearly the same things SGI's reality engine was doing (triangle rendering and texture mapping was enough for a PC 3D accelerator back then), but at 1/100th of the price, and sell it to consumers.

Fast forward, and we all know how the story played out and where the industry is today.

>There was a time practically everyone playing Quake had a Voodoo card.

Yeah they were the most desirable piece of tech back then, plus, the marketing and advertising 3dfx had at the time was wild as hell.[1]

Even the box-art on their GPU boxes was the most memorable of any HW of that era. Anyone remember those eye glaring down on you from the store shelves?[2] I feel like this is now a lost art.

> The most common is a slow hardening of one’s opinions and perceptions that I consider a form of mental decline. These people are often susceptible to propaganda and conspiracy.

Maybe similar to people who always do the same exercise to keep in shape, and over time their body optimizes for that exact training so it becomes less effective, I wouldn't be surprised if our opinions become hardened because we thought the same patterns over and over.

But old people falling into propaganda and conspiracy theories? I have no other explanation for that besides mental decline. Younger people fall for those too, but many of them don't have the best mental condition to begin with.
Those providers aren't competitive in pricing with Dropbox, and even if you have a device with it preinstalled, you are limited to whatever redundancy is built into the box and configuring security/firewall rules, etc. Plus, a lot of residential broadband services limit upload speed substantially, so if you're restoring offsite it could take a very long time.

Dropbox at least has some resiliency distributed across multiple servers.

Just four new nuclear power plants for every existing plant is still a lot of plants.

There are 93 active reactors in the USA today. That means we need to build between 350 to 400 more reactors. There are currently only 2 new reactors under construction and 11 more planned (6 of these are NuScale modes with only 77 MW Capacity). The last reactor to open was at the Watts Bar plant in Tennessee in 2016, and before that 1996 in the same plant. Both of these reactors started construction in the 1970s.

If we “just” need 350-400 more, it is gonna take us ages to get there.
I’ve made it so it only shows the share button if the browser supports native sharing (navigator.share) - wordle just copies it to the clipboard on other browsers, which I found a little naff so that I didn’t really bother to do that.

Only showing the right/wrong is how it’s supposed to work. I thought about it sharing the grid like wordle, but I thought that was too much of a copy, and unlike wordle I think the wordall grid doesn’t contain as much meaning (it contains some, but I am not sure what it conveys is that interesting)

Really appreciate your interest - I’m glad you like it!
Honestly, this genre of "Look! We don't do X!" topics on HN recently have been a little absurd. Advertising has it's place. If you're buying ads on your own brand name then yes, you're wasting your time, but since advertising is quite expensive I would've thought you would put some effort into doing it well. It's the same thing for the unit testing article and the article about staging environments. Yes, if you do something badly, it's probably going to be worse/more expensive/slower than not doing it at all. But the whole genre could be concisely summarised as "Be concious of where you are focusing your efforts".
Author here. I was wrong on this information and updated the article - got a correction since. L6 and above employees would receive this: staff+ engineers, eng leadership, sales etc.

There are companies where this information does go out to all employees in the spirit of radical transparency. Skyscanner is an example where every day, every employee gets the full revenue breakdown. These numbers are also shown on monitors across the company.
I think major brands in particular are wasting a lot of money on ads. For example searching Macbook in google returns an ad for apple.com as the first result and the same exact link as the first non promoted link. Why on earth is Apple paying for an ad in this case? It's literally wasted money. I can't imagine that having an ad link above the real link gives them any revenue delta
In Web 2 (that site) an ad appears that covers all the content on the article and you either hit the back button or manage to find where they hid the "X" button to hide the ad.

In Web 3 you click on a web page and somebody steals $750 million from some organization somewhere and then... It's all over. Nothing more to see here. Move on folks.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide the point of it. You are the universe made self-aware, packaged in a meat suit with some primitive impulses that just so happens to be living in the most convenient/low friction environment for those primitive impulses in human history thus far.

Our culture biases towards certain life meanings (get rich! be famous! do high class things! be higher status than others! belong to the cool in-group!), and our primitive impulses are very attracted to those meanings. But as we accomplish those things, they don't end up feeling super meaningful or fulfilling.

We will all be forgotten, the universe doesn't care about our lives. But we are the universe made self-aware! How awesome is this? Yeah, we need to balance a lot of the human concerns because we're embodied in these meat suits that have certain needs. But there's so much to think about/discover/appreciate about it all while we can!

The whole ecosystem of tools is powerful, this tileserver is a great capstone and an interesting commercial model. What is your definition of End Product here? Eg if we have an app and website under one brand is that two end products or one?

How do updates work? Eg with mapbox or google you just get the "latest" data (modulo time it takes them to integrate data), does this hook automatically into the latest source?
i wonder though if doing that doesn't risk detection since it's pretty obviously false.
That's really cool. :) I wonder if you should share any stories of working at Rareware during that time period?

The only place where a package manager should overwrite changes is /usr. If you made any changes inside /usr, then yes, it'll be overwritten. A user isn't supposed to mess around inside /usr, unless there's a very good reason for it. There's /usr/local but it's better to just use $HOME/.local instead.
