If anything, it isn't cut-throat enough.

I worked in academia for quite some time, and you would think, "Well, this ought to be less of the kind of horror you can get in the private sector," but no. It was everything you could expect from any other environment.

I didn't comment in the exit interview thread, but I absolutely chortled inside when my direct manager was present for my last exit interview -- kind of a big no-no -- but these folks just lack any kind of shame. You will hear the same "A five is given for outstanding performance ... WORDS ... but we will never give fives ... MORE WORDS ... it is expected that everyone try for outstanding performance" doublethink. Watching a sixty-three year old employee get shuffled off despite decades of loyal work, well ...

Working for family? Even worse.

Currently, I expect any employer to sell me to the knackers for a Jell-O cup later on and not feel the least bit bad about it. Assume that at least the first couple levels of management are dead-eyed lizard people wearing human costumes and you'll probably be safer.

Honestly, start gathering dirt on day number one. It goes bad after a while (but doesn't decay with the rapidity that gratitude does), so make sure to update your map of where the bodies are buried. Keep your resume fresh. Make sure you can put the hurt on someone if you suddenly get the boot, fairly or not. You don't have to use any of this, but it is nice to have on hand when you find a knife in your back.

I have no tax knowledge at all, but if you were to create a pass through corporation who purchased the health insurance on the behalf of its members, could you deduct said fees and then pass the savings onto the members the following years?

I guess the overhead of setting up such an organization plus the fact that said corporation wouldn't actually have any revenue are big issues.

I have been playing with Faust and WebAudio lately. It works really quite well - e.g. the online Faust IDE [1] and playground [2] use the WebAudio/WASM implementation to run in the browser. The Faust team are currently working on moving to an improved WebAudio architecture (with support for WebAudio Modules etc.) but the current stuff should work well enough for most cases.

It’s a cool language too, very functional based. I’m a total newcomer to DSP but it was pretty straightforward to figure out how to build a simple synth in not much code at all after reading a few docs and looking at examples. There are loads of high quality implementations of effects etc. in the standard library and examples too so you can get something sounding pretty good without too much work.

I`m in a similar situation working as a android developer the company sended me a macpro 2021 with the infamous touch bar.

Diferent from the author I had some previous experience with macbooks, since I did had a Macbook white many years ago, and have some vintage apple computers like a clamshell laptop and a G4 (I just think they are neat).

While I`m in no way as productive with it as I`m with my thinkpad runing Fedora there`s some mitigation I was able to do.

The main wone with the window manager. While I do think Apple full screen works well when working exclusive with the mac screen, when connected to multiple screens is a pain in the ass.

In this case Magnet solved my problems since it looks a lot with the Windows / Gnome way of dividing the screen with multiple applications.

No , No and No. The only thing that will happen is that the training data for those model will diminish. Note that you would not run out of data, but you will run out of training data.

As this happen all models will converge.

Another path: you will get more and more specialized models that would be fed by specific domain data, and will always bit the more "compute rich" models.
Trains are incredibly expensive to maintain. The US still relies a lot on manual operations when running trains. I wonder if they will ever be able to fully automate their travel.

If it is just a defense pact and not first strike nukes, I wouldn't care. AFAIK, the US hasn't expanded nuclear weapons eastword since the cuban missile crises so I'm not sure what your point is. Estonia is part of NATO but we don't host nukes there because we don't want to trigger the Cuban missile crises again.

Totally missing out on the actual DAWs where most people do most of this stuff.

Yes, there is some interest in and use of standalone tools. But for all kinds of reasons, the majority of new audio software development occurs with the assumption that it will run within a DAW (or at least, a plugin host).

One of the reasons for that is to offload almost all of the architectural issues to the host, and leave the developer to pay attention to the sorts of things you describe in the paragraph I was quoting from.
One of the alternatives is to just close stores bc of excessive theft, like Walgreens and CVS are doing in the Bay Area.

the subtitle was "Diagnostic criteria are developed using white boys and men, failing to serve many neurodivergent girls and women" which, given the normal behavior of comparative statements in English, implies that the opposite of white is neurodivergent which is insultingly absurd.

I don't think it is because of racism that they have structured it in this way, it is instead that they hoped to be anti-racist by highlighting 'white' without the linguistic wit to see the implications.
I disagree - this seems quite clearly to address issues of scale, going into multiple-pass ranking, etc. etc.

I hate window snapping behavior. I use rectangle, but cannot for the life of me figure out why it makes sense to snap a window to fullscreen on my 40" ultrawide the instant I get a window somewhere near any side of my monitor. Who works like this? You have to just leave a window floating in space if you don't want it fullscreened?

The honor system works when there are social checks and balances that can be applied to punish socially for going against what's acceptable.

The whole point is that larger entities are shielded from some of these repercussions because of their size and power, and in some cases are almost completely untouchable by this system.

The legal system is there to catch extreme cases the social system can't feasible handle well enough. We don't just let murderers go and ostracize them, we incarcerate them and forcibly remove their rights. Some things are too important to allow social norms to be the ultimate arbiter of.
I guess like the other person mentioned I just don't find myself minimizing that often on Mac.

That being said there is an option. The first is if you are in an application you can do control-down or (if you enable it under gestures >> more gestures for your trackpad) you do 3 fingers down you will see the minimized windows for your current application at the bottom. I did also just look it up and apparently if you do cmd-tab and press up on an application it does the same thing.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but you can at least do it on a per application level for anything minimized.
Take the salary you are getting at the new place and add 50k. "I'd love to stay but salary + raise for moving on + 50k is a life changing amount of money for me and my family." Worst case you get a counter offer and you can decline that with "Oh, sorry the new job just offered counter + 25k" again. Might give them pause to raise the wages of the people you are leaving behind.
Thanks for your perspective from someone close to the situation there. I believe many Americans have a picture of a perfect system in Europe, but the truth is likely different. Can you elaborate on the negative aspects of the train system, as you see it?
Ok I'll rephrase. I'm pretty sure that apple redesigned their entire windowing system and related shortcuts around 100% fullscreen when they implemented full screen windows. Every short cut seems to be built with full screen windows in mind, especially the track pad stuff. Even the snapping that op complained about makes sense when considered through the 100% full screen paradigm.

> The problem is that as you get deeper into Linux, you become progressively more and more likely to install your own packages from source, and then all of that curation goes out the window.

It needn't go out of the window. The key thing is to keep the set of packages on which you deviate small. Then you can curate the exceptions yourself, or a community can form that share the same needs and they can do it.

It's when you do throw the curation out of the window, or subscribe to an ecosystem that effectively requires it [that curation be thrown out the window], that the problem arises.
I usually refer to these as "GNU-style arguments", whether or not that's the correct terminology. The fact that Go-based utilities tend to use the `-option` style (with a single hyphen) still bothers me.
I believe this is a remnant of some complications with regards to taxation in an international context, similar to duty-free shopping.

Another consideration may be the consequences of possibly diverging tax rates for kerosene: if it's much cheaper to fill up in, say, Spain, than it is in France, it might become cheaper to carry the fuel for the return leg, even if the increased weight increases fuel consumption.

I'm not saying that any of this justifies the state of affairs. But it's possible to arrive at it even with mostly good intentions.
It _really_ depends on the distances and sizes of the cities you're going to. Paris-London train is about 3 hours, which is likely less than you'll spend on getting to+from an airport. Paris-Berlin on the other hand is miserable, unless you love trains.
Musk, Thiel, Andreessen and “The Current Thing”
They are if other industries consuming the same product pay different tax rates. In this example, an airline purchasing 1L of kerosene pays a different rate than a train purchasing the same 1L of the same kerosene. That's the textbook definition of a subsidy.
Are there any organizations that one can donate to that use those more effective methods? There are tons of different organizations for carbon offsets, but I haven't seen any that inject CO2 into saline aquifers if you donate to them, for example. Most use avoided emissions or are "nature based", and as you have pointed out, both can be problematic. So I'm curious if anyone has any organizations that they can recommend.
If I had to apply an "aggravation factor", air travel is worse. The train just doesn't seem to bug me as much. One difference is that when the train arrives I'm in the city center. When the plane arrives I'm at the airport.

Why do you care how long it takes to start up? It's either few seconds or 15 seconds a few times a day.

People usually have enough RAM with a machine bought in the last 5 years and I don't see any buttons that fill half the screen? Most of the screen estate is folder tree or the code.

Technically, yes, but when they're talking about this sort of thing, they mean "personal recommendation system" or "content-based recommendation system."

For example, the HN front page is a recommendation system if you literally mean system-that-recommends-web-pages-to-look-at. But it's not personalized; every visitor sees the same front page. This fundamentally makes it a different sort of thing.
It's really abysmal. I had a similar situation: every time I'd pull a monorepo, my machine would be flooded with "mdworker" processes. The CPU would spin up and the machine would operate at 85c for a few hours before finally cooling down. The culprit was Spotlight, and the solution was to disable search indexing.
No one I know "hates" Russia. Most just don't care about it. Russia has some strange national narrative that the West is trying to westernize it. We don't care if Russia is westernized or not. That is up to the Russian people who also seem fine with adopting some western concepts, it's mostly the boomers in the Russian government that demonize it. Instead of governing well they make a "western" strawman and cry over that instead of fixing their country and moving into the 21st century.
> Switch to K3S, you won't regret it.

K3s is pretty great, at least as long as you keep on the happy path.

In practice, that probably means a DEB based distro, quite possibly Ubuntu LTS and something like Rancher for management (if you prefer a UI of some sort and can afford the spare RAM), or Portainer, or even just Lens.

Sadly, i had a situation where i needed Kubernetes on a server at work, which had about 8 GB of RAM, so OpenShift was out of the question and most other "full" K8s distros also weren't viable, when that same server was also to run the actual containers. Moreso, i was stuck with Oracle Linux, on which getting K3s working properly was a bit problematic (though the same probably applies to most RPM distros).

Not only that, but instead of Let's Encrypt, i needed to use custom SSL/TLS certificates, installing which with the Traefik ingress and using them as the defaults instead of the self-signed ones was quite the mess, about which i wrote in another comment here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30672765

In short, to get it working i needed:

- a ConfigMap for Traefik, knowledge about the structure of the ConfigMap (tls.stores.default.defaultCertificate)
- a TLSSecret for storing the actual certificate/key
- a TLSStore (which i also needed to actually use the secret, spec.defaultCertificate.secretName)
- a HelmChartConfig for Traefik to load the ConfigMap with the mounted secrets and config

none of which were documented as well as i'd like, because Traefik isn't necessarily aware of the intricacies of being used with K3s and K3s hasn't got instructions on such a setup because the happy path is using Let's Encrypt. Furthermore, attempting to use Nginx as the ingress instead failed and trying to uninstall all of Traefik resources hanged, something about Kubernetes waiting for the resources to do something so that they may be deleted, a callback that never seemed to happen.

Oh, attempting to use Rancher also failed due to recent changes with cgroups v2 and varying support for all of that, whereas it seemed to work properly on a throwaway Ubuntu LTS VM/VPS.

In short:

- i still think that the goals of the K3s project are really nice, the current resource usage is surprisingly decent
- if you have to use Kubernetes on RPM, go with OpenShift, if you don't have the resources for it, just use DEB distros
- the struggle with niche setups, like i needed, is largely not worth your time, the documentation for these still isn't there yet (example of mature documentation: Apache, which has been around for decades)
- ideally, just pay someone else to run a cluster for you, if you can (i can't, because mostly on-prem at work and am relatively poor in regards to personal homelab)

I'm still torn about migrating over to Nomad or K3s when i'll eventually retire my Docker Swarm clusters (maybe in the next 5 years), but for now i'm putting those plans on the backburner entirely to give both projects a few years to mature and become more stable/established. In regards to Rancher, they have RKE2 in the works as well.
Linux user for years before switching to Mac.

I prefer Brew to every Linux package manager I've used.

I like that it's totally separate from the base OS.

I like the insanely large package selection, including binary [edit: that is, closed-source binary] packages. I almost never install any tool that's not in Homebrew—usually I just blindly try it, and sure enough, I got the package name right and it does have it, and it installs no problem. Gentoo's Portage and Arch's whatever-they-call-it are pretty close, but those are... higher touch operating systems, to put it mildly (I was a heavy Gentoo user for a few years—I know Arch is less of a pain than that, but it's still got rolling-distro and various DIY rough edges)

I don't try to use it to install development dependencies like some people seem to. It's not good for that, but doing that on Linux isn't a great idea, either. Your project should manage its own deps separate from your development system, or you're gonna have a bad time sooner or later, unless you are only deploying to exactly the system config that you're developing on.
I should add that in France, you can keep your employer health insurance for free for one full year, in many cases when you lose your job which limit the risk of a "hole" in the health coverage.

> We are talking about scientists, which are for sure able and used to work through different tools during their career. And we are in 2022.

Scientists are not superhuman. Just like anybody, they’ll jump through a lot of hoops if they think the results justify it, but they are sometimes quite resistant to change for the sake of change, and sometimes even to change itself.

One can be a great chemist or know all there is to know about how purple long-tailed fruit flies from Siberia and have no clue about how computers work. Or be very proficient in a given piece of complex software to process NMR spectra and barely able to operate Outlook. But these people all make do with Excel.

> In a second moment, python, pandas and notebook are pretty accessible too

It’s much heavier, the IDEs are much more complex than Excel, and quite a lot of people on Earth are not natural programmers. Startup time, learning curve, steps to get a useful graph to check a trend, etc. All friction adds up. I’ve seen it countless times: when you show them the results of a complex workflow, they are excited. They start getting distracted when you talk about architecture, and they’re lost when you go into things like pandas and scipy. Then they nod politely, keep doing their stuff in Excel, and call you when they need a bit of wizardry for a paper.

In short, they are regular users, even if the software they use can be highly specific. Ease of use and lack of friction are paramount.
