are you serious- I mean, are you talking from experience? You'd fire a person because of a single manager, then fire the manager, and invite back the person who was originally fired?

Maybe you like your employer, but let me tell you: that's sociopathic. It's deeply disrespectful to long-term individual contributors to treat them that way, and if this is in any way representative of the company's leadership's philosophy, then they are bad people who should not be hiring.

Oh wait, they're firing. Not hiring.
Not very convincing. Your whole argument is basically “those others things aren’t as bad”.
Do we really need expensive desalination in California? Domestic water use only accounts for 20% of demand and desalination seems unlikely to ever be cheap enough for agricultural use (the remaining 80%.)
>You are lucky because you have the privilege of being able to do this.

Maybe the person you replied to is skillful because they prepared for it? Not everything is just the result of life's crap shoot of luck and privilege. If you're finding your employer requires more of you than you wish to give, drawing boundaries and sticking with them makes sense to some people. Psychologists use the term agreeableness[1] to express this sort of sentiment, a person who would demand not to be bothered after work would be classified as less agreeable than a person who is willing to take calls in an "emergency" or just as a regular function of their job, you can see the differences in the continuum there. Many of the most highly paid people have lower agreeableness in tech.

Azovstal would have been a "perfect" time to use nuclear weapons, or on Poland for allowing passage of weapons to Ukraine.
Yes, most people use "anonymous" in this context to mean "not directly associated with a real name, or real identity."

Arguing about pseudonymous vs. anonymous seems overly pedantic, and not particularly helpful.
Or until you see the books they want you to read.
How does it do joins?
Part of the reason was their lower than expected margin in their DC / Enterprise sector where they are facing competition from AMD EPYC. This somehow only showed in the recent quarters which is much later than most expected as EPYC has been on the market for quite some time.

20 watt hours per liter of water seems to be the important number.

I wonder if this system would also work for concentrating brines, if one's goal wasn't to produce clean water but rather extract certain valuable minerals, like lithium?
I run an Open Source project[0] and I'm in a group with a bunch of other Open Source founders. I've spent a lot of time thinking about these types of problems and I've put down some of them into a post here[1].

Highlights (abridged):

It is virtually impossible for our top Navy brass to admit that we have spent so much on carrier fleets that are now obsolete.
The Chinese have developed an antiship ballistic missile (ASBM), the DF-21D, nicknamed the ‘carrier killer.’ It has a range of 1,200 miles and can fly at speeds higher than Mach 5. During descent to the target, it can fly at Mach 10. We have no missile-defense systems that can counter the DF-21D.
Rather than building more of the same, our Navy should transition to submarines that can launch drones and to small, fast boats that can launch torpedoes and missiles.

Was the court “hyper-partisan” when it ruled on Roe v Wade 50 years ago? Did it do the bidding of the “left”?

Like I said, just because you don’t agree with their rulings doesn’t mean the court is “hyper-partisan” and does the “bidding of the right”.
No Mention of Eclipse, Mr. Ex-Googler
Yeah that's right, Google and Jetbrains sittn' in a tree.
"Very distinct" seems a little exaggerated. Compare the "Autosomal genetic distances" between Ashkenazi jews and other European groups at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews with a similar table of Intra-European distances at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_index. Finns and French have like twice the distance as Italians and Ashkenazi.

Now look just above that latter table, showing distances between East Asians and Europeans. The distances are far greater--more than 10x.

The precision with which we can identify and track ancestry, often based on small fractions of DNA (Y-chromosome in particular wrt Ashkenazi Jews, not mtDNA as one might think) doesn't imply the degree of genetic distinctiveness.
Weird take, we have all sorts of mores around “you don’t talk politics at work”. People go to different churches, some people choose private schools. Online seems to be the only place that we have this idea that people have to listen to each other.

That sort of line is increasingly the standard at many universities, in many areas of speech, political or otherwise.

That's what social media should be. It should be a platform. Give more control to the users. Less control to journalists, moderators, political actors, etc.

Let users individually curate the content they want to see instead of trying to use every social media platform as a propaganda tool.
The ECMA family of terminal standards (ECMA-35/43/48) is less definitive than you might think. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31417563 for some details.

I think it’s meant to provide an emergency source of water for drinking.

You wouldn’t want to use this for a large population for a prolonged period of time because you’d have trouble disposing of all the salt waste.

Figuring out how to handle the salt byproduct is a critical part of long term desalination.
Great question! We looked heavily into Dex before creating Infra, and even spoke with their maintainers.

Dex is a federated OIDC provider. Most managed Kubernetes services (e.g. Azure AKS) don't support using custom OIDC providers for authentication and therefore can't easily be wired up to use Dex. Infra is designed to work with any Kubernetes distribution regardless of where it's hosted.

Even with self-hosted clusters that do support Dex, Dex doesn't manage authorization mappings (i.e. Kubernetes RBAC) for users and groups. Teams still need to manually create & remove RBAC roles for users and groups as they are added and removed from identity providers such as Okta. Infra can be configured to map roles for users and groups to Kubernetes clusters, and we're working to support dynamic provisioning protocols such as SCIM to make sure users are automatically revoked as they are removed from identity providers.
No, I didn't know.

But why should I care about that when the "art piece" I'm seeing at the moment doesn't impress me?
JPM and GS have a $100M incentive between them to make this go through, sheesh
A Nissan Leaf is bigger than a golf cart but smaller than a Tesla Model 3. The max speed part is mostly irrelevant. Electric vehicles are expensive and heavy primarily because that's the only practical way to comply with safety regulations, as well as to meet consumer requirements for comfort and performance.
If you're working at a company where important tech decisions which aren't at all time-critical are being made 24x7 by "whoever happens to respond on slack", I think you have some pretty serious issues all around.
>Your options are to think nobody understand you and everyone is working against you, or to take ownership and defend your time accordingly.

I'm not sure if you meant it in this way, but "defend your time" is a phrasing that implies an adversarial relationship between your time and those that are supposed to be facilitating you to do your best work, like a manager. I believe a manger is someone who removes distractions, buffers you from interruptions, and facilitates frictionless coordination with others. Anything less is just making the hard job harder.

I'm always surprised to see Picasso was alive until the 70's. He feels like much more of a "historical figure." I mean, he was a brief contemporary of "Queen," haha.
Same—I just bought a new iPhone…I thought the mini was right for me, but after three days of using it, it was clear that the battery life was worse than my years-old Pro. So I returned it and got the Pro instead.

The other challenge was that I found it hard to go back to the smaller onscreen keyboard and display. I think I was deluded about my vision being as good as it was 10 years ago!
Where did you get that absurd interpretation? They’re saying: a good IC gets fired by a bad manager. Later bad manager gets fired by their manager (we’ll call them good manager). Good manager then goes back and asks good IC if they want their job back.
>>> Joshua Katz for a column in which he characterized the Black Justice League (BJL), a student activist group, as a “terrorist organization.”

I think the university now seems to have subscribed to the talk shit get hit school of thought policing.

the actual quote seems to be: "The Black Justice League, which was active on campus from 2014 until 2016, was a small local terrorist organization that made life miserable for the many (including the many black students) who did not agree with its members’ demands."

what's happening is that the professor has some kind of objection to removing statues (paraphrasing: if the university starts to remove them where's the line? no one from that era can pass the "purity test"), plus has a strong opinion on the methods of those who wanted the statues gone. and apparently this is a bad combo. (strong language and contrarianism doesn't mix well in SJW zones.)

---

oh, but to be fair, the prof's declaration is a very bad string of classics like some of my best friends are SJWs, and "I support their right to speak as they see fit. But I am embarrassed for them." and everyone has taken a side (regarding a document that asks for ~48 changes, some affirmative action ones), 1619 project bad, the aforementioned terrorist hyperbole, then comparing some instagram live video to Maoist public humiliation/torture sessions, and finally without university police what would happen!?
Just saying it's boorish to always insert your wishes that people stop eating meat or reduce their intake when it's not even tangential to the discussion. Everybody's totally sick of it, this site doesn't allow religious proselytizing nor should it allow every single discussion to be side tracked into an argument about sustainability, eating the bugs, living in pods, and the like.

There is NO housing crisis in the broader US. Just in the large mega cities and their bedroom communities. Many places suffer from a LACK of residents actually. We all learned how Zoom works because of COVID and some folks took that to heart and moved away from the big cities. In certain areas housing is booming. In others, it's seeing a decline. NYC has seen almost 2 million residents leave in the last 2 years.
nit: Foldables aren't for video, aspect ratio is far from 16:9. Effective video size is not much bigger than non foldable. It's great for reading web/book/pdf.
I deleted my Twitter account in 2012 because they removed RSS support.

Kanban + Medication, by kanban, physical or a laptop or huge screen showing everything that needs to be done. It has to be standalone. I find that works great.

I prefer trello but it is fantastic to idealize what I need to do and sort priority and what to do down the road.

Outstanding. Thank you.

I'm almost convinced to get a real microphone(probably with a stand, for the time being). Doing some research on models now. The Johnny Carson setup may not be a big deal if most of the time the camera is off, but audio is important. And even then I might be able to keep it off frame. We'll see :)
The best way to get a standalone ARM chip is to pretend to be a company making a sprinkler controller [historical reference there] when you e-mail the sales rep for your region and ask them to send you a half-dozen samples, for free. Your story is that you have, like everybody in your position, laid out a circuit board and are ready to solder some on and try it out, for a low-to-mid volume (100,000 to 200,000 units) product, with more products in the planning pipeline.

The leaders of two of the most horrific empires in history are related? This used to be spammed on reddit years ago. They were apparently cousins.
This is super common in my experience. Senior/experienced devs spend a bunch of time ramping up the inexperienced or new members of the team and don't have much time remaining to work on their own initiatives.

Patrick McKenzie has a good take on this along the lines of "teach someone to fish" (s/fish/code search/): https://mobile.twitter.com/patio11/status/108611151367121715...

We've tried to make it easier to turn organic code explorations into interactive docs that can be read many times over with a notebook-like feature.

For many guys, online dating is an exercise in inadequacy. Conversely for women online dating may actually give some women a false sense of aggrandizement.

The disparity of experience creates an unhealthy dynamic and it can cause a sense of invisibility and inadequacy for all but the highest echelon of men.
Asian men, shorter men, and those that are overweight experience the brunt of female indifference.

He's not alone, and today's online dating world is not for everyone.

Has anyone thought about a different approach to online dating platform that gives a greater range of guys a better shot at female attention and engagement, but also rewards women with meaningful connections rather than cultivating a hookup culture?
if you had never heard of picasso before and just passed this same image, maybe as graffiti on the street, would it have had a similar impact on you?

I ask because I've seen a lot of art when traveling with friends and nothing other than sculptures has ever come even remotely close to impressing me as far as traditional art goes. So I'm curious if it's mostly celebrity status or something else I'm just missing.
imo Google >>>> Microsoft > Amazon in terms of privacy

They all collect a lot of data, but Google offers very easy ways to manage that data and pause any data collection unlike Microsoft and Amazon. Microsoft puts ads in your start menu. Amazon (at least AWS) monitors all their clients' data and copies the most successful ones.
Yes, I speak from experience, I worked at Netflix. But I think you're missing some really important details:

- It was extremely rare. In my four years I only saw it happen once, and only heard about it happening one or two other times in the history of the company.

- The general philosophy was to make it easy to both hire and fire people, to allow for nimbleness. But they were open about this and let people know this wasn't for everyone.

- I think it shows great leadership -- the company admitted it made a mistake and tried to rectify it by inviting them back. Seems better to me than just trying to sweep it under the rug.

The sports team mentality wasn't for everyone, but for a lot of us, we loved it. We loved having coworkers who lifted us up and who we could trust to get things done and do them well, and knowing that if they didn't they wouldn't be around for long.
The story about how Jumi Bello ended up plagiarizing her way through college and a Iowa Writer’s Workshop fellowship is interesting. Her debut novel and subsequent apology were not her first time plagiarizing.

She reportedly plagiarized during college, but was able to manipulate people into letting her get away with it. It would have been better to fail fast, fail early, recover soon, than to get away with plagiarism until this late in the game and then get caught so publicly.
Yes, but mostly when traveling or commuting. A few times a year at most I'll look through "best of the year" lists at various places or responses to "what podcasts do you like?" at places like here or Reddit. If I come across an article highlighting a podcast that sounds interesting, I'll add it to my subscription list.

I get behind on them and then feel swamped.

Random rant, maybe not the right place and certainly not targeted at you but: I hate nothing more than trying to accomplish productive work on a video call. Virtual meetings would work better so much better for me like this:

1. As low latency on the audio as possible, so people can lightly talk over each other like in meatspace.

2. If you really want to be able to gauge people's reactions as you're talking, or whatever reason people like to see each others faces, you get Tom Goes to the Mayor-style avatars which animate slowly (once per second?) in response to the user's movements. No need to send a full video feed over the wire.

The experience of tiled window panes with our heads floating in front of blurry living rooms and nobody looking anywhere near the same place just sucks.
There's plenty of non "public forums" out there. Hop onto a Matrix room, Discord guild, Subreddit, IRC room, Fediverse instance, whatever. The whole point of "social media" is that it's socializing "in the large". You might not like this, I don't either, but some people do derive value from socializing "in the large". The fact that so many people in this post go into the necessary contortions necessary to make Twitter work for them _shows_ how much latent demand there is for socializing in the large.
Yes, that was my interpretation. I don't understand what you think is absurd about that being sociopathic. Typically, to fire somebody, the manager has to convince at least one or two other people, typically outside of their department, through an extended period that is inspected by multiple different people. This exists to protect employees from vicious, vindictive and arbitrary leaders.
I'd add https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter3.html as it has details invisible-island doesn't go over as good as good a resource as it is. The other chapters are informative too.

The VT510 manual is also useful since it was designed to be used with a PC keyboard so it covers newer escape codes that aren't on older DEC terminals https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/chapter8
Yeah but you can hop onto a few Telegram news channels and get the same thing? And no cesspool this time either. That's how I've been getting news from Ukranian and Russian news sources.
> Or just allow only using a single script.

This would still let some homographs through. In particular, Cyrillic has a lot of characters which are confusingly similar to, or even indistinguishable from, Latin characters (e.g. "авсекморѕтѵху").
A strategy that occasionally works for me is to start the thing with no intention of following through. Just give yourself permission to give up after some negligible effort, no matter how inconsequential. For example, just tell yourself you're going to pull out the assignment and arrange it on your desk and that's it. Or you'll just load the project in your IDE but not commit to any actual work.

When I do that, it sometimes gives me enough inertia to move on to the next step.

Viewpoint from Japan: is it small?. I feel same thing for BMW Mini because it's bigger width than average on the road.
Failed my keeper test with the subscription rate hike. Reminded me that I only watch one show every few months.

Somewhat relayed: for a company whose culture recently applauds itself for catering to all sorts of audiences, there’s a significant lack of skin when compared to HBO.
I think the problem is that the people who are prone to do this are also prone to fiddle and over-complicate things. For the last 18 months, I've been using a wild-overkill mirrorless camera through an HDMI->USB adapter dongle thing (not the El Gato, it's one that uses a standard UVC driver so works with Linux with zero fuss). The adapter limits it to 1080p resolution, but that's plenty for webcam work, and all I do to use it is flip the power switch on the camera.

The advantage in my case is huge: I have a bright window to my side (and I refuse to close the curtains and work in the dark) and a white background. My c920 would expose for the average brightness level, and made me look like I was in the witness protection program. With the mirrorless, it has more dynamic range, and also I can set the exposure manually so I always look fine and the background gets a bit blown out.

I agree with people saying that better lighting (I look better when I use the Key Light as a fill light on the opposite side of the window) and a better microphone (Rode USB mic on a boom arm that I keep positioned just under what's visible in-frame -- still close enough to my mouth to get good sound without the "hey, don't forget to like and subscribe" effect) are more important, but doing a better camera is better, too.
Searching something like this for months. I ended up having an Asus Zenfone 8.
And?

We already know Twitter is infested with automated brainless parrots, i.e bot accounts plaguing the platform for years. This is why the way to solve it is to do what YouTube and Facebook has done and KYC everyone for that verified checkmark. As for those those bot accounts, they need to be on a leash tied to a KYC'd account so we know who it is from. Either way, I do not care what happens since the platform is close to impossible for any intelligent conversation anyway.

But someone has got to clean it up, Prag admitted he could not do it and now Elon wants to clean up the bot accounts.

We'll see what happens.
Yes Netflix does pay top of market. But they pay in cash - not RSUs. Recently from what I heard, they give employees the option of cash and RSUs.

BTW, $250K - $500K is about average for BigTech developers.

He's certainly far from an "average joe", but I think it's important to see stories about workers leaving jobs for greener pastures because these stories aren't often covered in the press.

CEO's are interviewed to death over their visions, management styles, etc., but there really isn't an analogue for those in the trenches. Just look at how widely covered "the labor shortage" is. There is no labor shortage, just a shortage of people willing to work for next to nothing. The press is overwhelmingly pro-business in this regard.
