That's the historic reason, it makes sense, sounds good and fans on each side will happily justify their respective positions. But for the Old Firm I think the more important thing is to both be in opposition to each other.

Consider an alternate history where the British Mandate of Palestine being turned into Israel somehow caused Rangers to immediately declare solidarity with the people of Palestine. I don't think this would be an issue both sides of the Old Firm would be happy to share and come together on, and I can almost guarantee we'd instead be seeing Israeli flags proudly being flown at Parkhead on match day.

Sorry I have a fairly cynical view on this and having known and dealt with many fans of either side I have a fairly good idea what motivates them, and it always seemed to boil down to conflict above all else.

Edit: Just realised that my views may be coloured by being outside of the country for a decade, it could be that I only remember the worst encounters or conversations or that things are better now, or that I’m just sour every team I wanted to do well this year didn’t (Aberdeen were woeful, Montrose and Arbroath didn’t get promoted)
:-)
I think it's a bit too early in the conversation to discuss that; I need to learn more about the team/role and would love to discuss it when we get closer.
Can you give any example of an unlockable feature on an M1 Mac?

Perhaps the confusion comes from the different mix of performance and efficiency cores on different Macs, but those are physically different. So for instance my M1 MBA has four performance and four efficiency cores, a compromise intended to give very long battery life.

I think most people here would tend to disagree for two reasons:

1) Firebase's feature set is vast, which ultimately means that you're going to pull in a much bigger SDK than what an "open source Firebase" can reasonably provide. Half or more of the SDK code you're pulling into your project will do nothing. It's better that competitors are like firebase in spirit but ship their own SDKs to optimize for their use cases.

2) Firebase is still owned by google, which automatically paints a target on its back. We don't know what the long term internal roadmap of Firebase is, regardless of what the GCP bosses might say or how much money it seems to make on paper. Google has sown itself quite willing to kill any project at any time without a lot of clear reasoning as to why, and no one wants to build against an SDK/standard that could vanish tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure that's not true. If it's the case I'm thinking of the result was exactly the opposite. Do you have more details on what case you're referring to?
It's the aggregate result of the sort of hiring they do in there. Take for example they rejected the guy who created homebrew because he couldn't invert a binary tree to the satisfaction of some jobsworth in there (1). It's jumped the shark and gone full on corporate bs, not because of any changes to what they do, but as a result of who's making the decisions in there these days.

> Does that make traditional bank a huge scam?

That's exactly why traditional banks are subject to heavy oversight and regulations, and deposits are protected by govt guarantees. Tether on the other hand is operating completely in the dark and has been involved in a lot of shady activity that does nothing but undermine trust in their ability to do treasury operations in a responsible manner.
Finally! I'll have to try that out.
While I might be a target audience for them and willing to pay a nominal fee monthly for good search I'm quite sure there isn't a market for it.
> Pretty excited for the 3.12 work, where they plan to introduce JIT compilation I believe?

"A JIT, according to Shannon, will probably not arrive until 3.13 at the earliest, given the amount of lower-hanging fruit that is still to be worked on. The first step towards a JIT, he explained, would be to implement a trace interpreter, which would allow for better testing of concepts and lay the groundwork for future changes."

Medium is (so far) the ultimate manifestation of "Eternal September".

It doesn't just save people the technical effort of making a blog, but people think that it saves them the marketing effort -- which is a lot more effort.
I feel like a better option than committing is to have developers submit sample configurations and make them available in a subfolder or a dedicated configuration repo -- this way, newcomers to the team can pull in existing configurations and tweak them, rather than having to start from zero.
Outside of Java, Kotlin, and Go are there any languages designed specifically for large scale corporate/enterprisey use?

Manual memory management is optional. IIRC some version of the D compiler was written assuming an infinite virtual address space (basically they just did not bother calling free() ever)!
That depends. If their holdings are in slightly risky "paper" to make money then it's not truly a stable coin because it relies on the market not going down, as it is doing right now. For example, if half their paper is in something roughly indexed to the Dow or similar then their backing is down roughly 5% YTD. That effectively means their actual peg is worth $0.95 on the dollar, a shakeup that could put them into a downward spiral.

On the other hand if they're exclusively in something as safe as US Treasury notes, satisfied by profiting a very small % but on a large pile of money, then they're on more solid footing. The fact that they say "commercial" paper makes me doubt this somewhat.

TLDR: if their 100% backing is in anything with even moderate risk, they could be doomed.
The problem is that there are people who have published free, no-bullshit guides on how to change a tire for the sake of spreading knowledge, and these results should be prioritized over businesses who have a profit motive.
Sidetrack, but I can recommend the Firefox/Chrome extension "Don't Track Me Google" which cleans up Google result links to be the actual URL, without Google's tracking redirect.
With dm-integrity you either have a small hole of a few milliseconds (bitmap mode) or write all data twice (journal mode). When integrating everything into a cow file system you can sidestep the issue, as you basically journal the data through cow anyway.
Never tried, not knowledgeable enough in the area. But I wouldn't hold my breath on it. And I still wouldn't trust the chips on the board.

Disclaimer: Gemini Earn user.

Nit: Gemini's highest yield is 6.9% on their Gemini dollar stablecoin[1], and the withdrawal delay is promised to be at most five business days which they were able to adhere to (not that that's not long, depending on what you expect, just wanted to quantify) during last week's LUNA crisis.

Seemingly engineering is only a small part of what matters. Netflix is a content company, after all. Being fast and available means nothing if the content isn't there. HBO Max seems to be doing quite well in spite of the app being technically terrible.

Heck, they'd need to layoff 500 of those engineers earning the vaunted 500k salary to reach what they're paying Benioff and Weiss, who have so far produced Metal Lords and The Chair.
If you want to make games, I'd advise not learning code or math. Use a FSM based visual editor, and learn the bare minimum for things as you need them.

If you are a programmer interested in the idea of making games, then go forth and learn all the math and code.
I feel like Google could filter out a lot of SEO spam by simply ignoring or downranking heavy sites. Everything that loads more than "n MB" is probably bloated and made to trick you into buying something or generating traffic without providing value.

Another method could be to analyze how many external requests a page makes and put that into the calculation.

Of course, there are exceptions, but I think this might help.
No.

Multibillion dollar companies ship broken, or temporarily broken, software and products all the time, presumably because they will still make gobs of sales due to momentum.
The 50m people provision just means that social media companies only need to create a “Texas Edition” offshoot that only allows 49m users at a time. This would not be discrimination based location, because it would only allow Texans to sign up. Nobody outside of Texas would have standing to sue.

Ask HN: Can anyone help me understand why Facebook is blocking this website?
There's an organization that assists soldiers returning to civilian life that has a Facebook page. They list their website address on their FB page but FB blocks taking users through to the website. FB claims the site violates community standards. The organization is aware of the issue and says they have tried contacting FB to get clarification on the issue and try to remedy it several times over the past few years. They have never gotten a response.

We can argue and rage about "how awful" the US military is, but that doesn't seem productive. Healing and restoring soldiers mental health that have gone through some of the questionable and traumatic experiences they've had seems like a worthy and noble cause.

I'm honestly asking for anyone's insight into what standard is being violated (it seems to me that some AI has flagged the site incorrectly in regards to suicide) and or how one can get better answers from FB.

Sincerely and thank you.

P.S. The website is https://operationrestoredwarrior.org/

Antifragility from an Engineering Perspective
> compliance folk, who do not have skin in the hiring process

What? I do think that politics has a far too great influence already. An AI would give me a gender or race quota that represents an utopia of those that created the AI.

> to abate any concerns on fairness

I heavily doubt that this improved in recent years at all. On the contrary discrimination got far worse precisely because of allegedly "unbiased" decision makers.

There are ways to test those that are hiring you if they are under such obligations and it isn't even too difficult although you have to be careful here. Easy to spot red light because employers also like to present themselves in the best light, but it might still be a toxic company.

There is certainly a problem with corruption in politics and large corporations. Hiring is not among that because those that don't use the official route would not be affected at all.

> it is fairer and more effective than human recruiters

I don't even want to look at the metric they used. Probably quotas?

> Let's progress AI in recruitment and workplace inclusivity ...

Yeah, pretty sure about that.
Could you link a practical algorithm with an exponent lower than 3? (I think of these things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity_of_ma... as not being practical, but I'd love to be wrong. )
No Electron Alternatives
I'm pretty good at Rust, and Go is pretty easy - both compile to wasm or desktop native and have web/dekstop UI toolkits that have tiny memory footprints see:

1. https://www.egui.rs/
2. https://gioui.org/

I find using slack, discord, and zoom unpleasant.

I've been toying with writing a zoom and slack replacement native for all platforms in either Rust or Go.

Should I do it?

I don't want to build it - and be the only one to use it - so I'm hoping I can get enough inspiring comments to go for it.
3D printing is a fun hobby that combines engineering skills with actual useful stuff. Just printed a set of tablecloth clamps for camping.

Speaking of, camping! Nice to get some fresh air and away from screens for a bit. And I love cooking over an open fire.

Speaking of, cooking! Once you get a little practice, you can really dazzle yourself and others with some delicious food. Especially when you realize that cooking is not actually as fiddly as it seems. Once you have enough experience under your belt to substitute and improvise and just throw something together the real fun begins. I recommend https://www.youtube.com/c/GlenAndFriendsCooking . Just pick a recipe and go for it, and Glen has very practical advice about exactly how unnecessary the fiddly parts of cooking are.

Other things I do: retro video games and related electronics projects (currently building a supergun to play arcade games at home), learn yo-yo tricks, read books, garden, play music.

Lack of hobbies isn't the problem. If someone would pay me a salary just to do my hobbies I'd be extremely happy.
Users don't "want" gigantic bliddy phones. Marketers give extravagant presentations to justify their positions, claiming that users want big phones. Then the engineering team is instructed to design big phones. Then only big phones are available. If it doesn't fit in your pocket, at least make it comfortable to hold in your lap. Now marketing has "data" that appears to indicate that people want even bigger phones. Repeat, until the form factor beggars the moon.
Maybe something in between. Increasing money supply would mean minting USDT out of thin air. Maybe they do, maybe they don't - hopefully the latter.

What they are likely doing is trading that USDT reserves on Bitcoin. Bitfinex is a well known market maker - and a very profitable one. That's probably why they are very much reluctant to disclose their reserves, because they don't have that in cash - unlikely. Knowing how much they own of everything would open the door to critics, and to attacks - the latter is essentially what happened for UST - attackers knew exactly how much cash they needed to depeg UST
Amazon Redshift: Ten years of continuous reinvention
Ok. I bit the bullet and typed exactly those words: "how to fix a flat tire".

This is what I got in return:

Row 1: 2 buttons marked "on a bike" and "scooter"

Row 2: single scrollable row of images of tire fixing kits with the prices.

Row 3: step by step recipe on how to fix flat on a car (7 steps long) followed by the link to the corresponding article and small image on the right side.

To me it looks straight to the point and one can't bitch about single row of ads of a relevant products.
I'm assuming you mean "look how much parking is wasted".

To be objective, there are actually more cars queued up in line than there are parking spots. It is just that no one is parking.

Perhaps the the shop stopped serving "in-person" during the pandemic and people are now accustomed to queuing in their car.

This image actually highlights that planners have in-fact not reserved enough space as there really should never be a car queue extending into what looks like public roadway.

So, in fact, because so much more land is wasted by the sloppy queue you actually need more than 3 acres.
A pod can be unready but still live, which is what should happen if its a temporary failure.
QML is Qts innovation. The declarative way to write a UI is unmatched IMHO when comparing to Unreal, Godot or the Web. Still, QML has a _lot_ of other little problems like bad tooling (no autoreload, unusable designer) and often broken type system where you can assign invalid properties, and it will silently fail.
Yes, we are working on a more native alternative with the likes of a Makefile or some Ansible scripts. However it has not been a major priority since we didn't have many community members ask for it yet.

Since I'm messy enough to sometimes end up with multiple of them for a few files. (Also, not messing with flash files in git, or in general...)

I'm beyond mystified as to what Spotify is tying to do with their recent UI, it's messy, it's unusable and reduces the value of the service by a lot.

I'm still a subscriber because it's cheap and an easy way to listen to music but I hate the fact that I no longer discover music like I used to on Spotify.

While I've had a vehicle with CANbus and no documented fusebox (BMW R1200S), that was probably because it used self-resetting fuses. CAN doesn't remove the need for fuses to protect the wiring, and they don't seem to be going away.

Solar stills work by putting something that can be as simple as a sheet of clear plastic over a hole in the ground, and putting a bowl under the peak of the sheet. A greenhouse with a brackish pool and a way to collect the precipitation would be a scaled up version.

If Tether holds less than $1 in assets for every $1 in liabilities, it's insolvent. Even banks generally hold at least ~$1.15 in assets for every $1 in liabilities.

But in general, Tether is part of what's known as the "shadow banking" industry--something that quacks like a bank but isn't regulated as if it were a bank. And shadow banking has caused the last several financial crises.

The millions of people that write and produce content without being tied to this Protestant mentality that something is only worth doing if it is profitable.

In fact, I'd wager that if we had a way to filter for content that is written without the goal of being monetized, we'd have a better web and us consumers would be more inclined to reward and give back to the creators generously.

Basically - I have a full time job, so I need to be convinced that spending another 5 - 8 hours a day on a zoom replacement over the next few months is worth the trouble - or find a way to fund myself to do this.
It's a three door version, 3860 mm long. It's about as much as the shortest Mini model. It's amongst the shortest cars around here, Renault Twingo, and "smart" cars are shorter, but nothing else comes to my mind that would be significantly shorter than the RAV4.

Downranking these sites will overwhelmingly mean downranking those who spend money on Google ads. It will not happen because it is exactly contrary to Google making more money.

Of course Google has PageSpeed, which supposedly influences rankings by downranking sites that are very heavy to load, so I mean, that's an aspect to take into account, but I still believe the above to be largely true.
I'm curious what your favorite alternative to alfalfa might be.

I have a vague recollection that there was at least one (I think) Eastern European country that managed to get government funding in order to support creation of local language assistive device text to speech.

So, it doesn't seem like an impossible task but certainly a non-zero amount of work to collect & process appropriate audio data.

Hope you get your dream at some point in future. (As everyone deserves assistive devices in their own language.)
Just ban their old businessmodel, and they will come up with a new one.

Or let Musk buy them.
We don't know if the task is impossible because Google has no incentive to do it at all, so we can't assume they are really doing their best. They created this situation and they profit from it just the way it is.

One thing that made Unix really compelling back then, even without access to the system source code, was that so many different CPU types and OS variants meant that any (free) software would come as source code.

Generally for the more mainstream OS's, in my case being Solaris at work and early Linux at home, the "porting" effort to make it compile was maybe an hour or two. And that gave you a real sense of ownership, and a passing familiarity with the code, by the time it ran. And a head start on tinkering with it if it didn't quite work the way you liked.

This was much more satisfying than (at the time) binary-only shareware distributions for MS-DOS or (in my case, before the switch to Linux) Amiga OS.
I've tried it, and I really really wanted to like it. . .

If you need 3d work, it's far better to use a proper 3d engine like unity or unreal for a much nicer and productive overall workflow, and just export it as webgl.
I'm annoyed at those bugs, because the companies should do better. Even if they slip through, the thing handling the speaker should have a safety cutoff when a certain RMS threshold is hit for over a second. It could even have an option for "I love skrilex and want my ears occasionally destroyed" that you have to tick yourself.

My first portable CD player had a hardware switch for a loudness limiter, so it's not exactly a new idea.
