I'm genuinely curious, what sort of white-collar jobs exist where you can only check your email once a day?
Then why are you complaining about being downvoted? Because you are not writing for yourself but for the HN readership and the HN readership most definitely includes the people you pretend not to be "forgetting" but actually are.
99% of the time,"deserve" applies to that which we have. Of course we have the right to "disconnect". People have to take responsibility for themselves. In the US, there are now two jobs for every one person looking for work. It always has been, and will be, up to someone to agree to the terms offered, and they may always refuse.

I know it's en vogue to pretend that everyone is a helpless idiot being taken advantage of, and that they need to be rescued by the state.. and that is partially responsible for the lack of accountability people have for their situation.

No one must connect to anything if they don't choose to. Take responsibility for your agreements, and meet them.
Seems like you intercept the request and use an admin service account token then impersonate?
Call it hysteria if you will. I will call it realism.

Optimism is a must, I agree. But it should not stop us from searching for ways forward, it should not make us complacent, it should not limit the actions we could take.

You want to believe. I get it. I was there myself. But then you'll open your eyes, see that all that progress is just words and smoke and you'll stand on the corner with the sign: "the end is nigh".

This is basically blogspam.
There's a difference between backwards reconciliation (rolling the game world back to process a lagged player's input) leading to "shot around a wall", and packet loss/jitter leading to jumpy player and teleporting.

I make this distinction because I actually think backwards reconciliation is table stakes for any kind of precision game and is usually pretty easy to implement. It can also help solve teleporting: you run backwards reconciliation on movement commands also (not just shooting or other actions), and combine with a little player position extrapolation.

Nothing fixes a 700ms, actually I would guess the ceiling on competitive play is somewhere around 200ms with incredible netcode. But 200ms gets you pretty far: across the US or the Atlantic Ocean for sure (packet loss over those distances is another story though).
The relevant ECMA standards are full of crazy bullshit that, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever implemented in any hardware or software terminal, like control sequences to make lines of text run vertically (SPD), or to fully justify text (JFY), or to use a Fraktur font (SGR 20). They're also incomplete -- they go into very little detail explaining what various control sequences should do, especially in exceptional circumstances, and they don't discuss Unicode at all (as they haven't been updated since the early 1990s).
I suspect there are two constraints working against mini mobiles:

1. The industry push for thin due to the consumer dislike of thick.

2. The invisible consumer expectation that smaller mobiles should be cheaper.

A mini screen with a fat body (large battery, good camera) is what many functionally oriented people should want, but cost and form will limit consumer desire and make it an extremely niche product?!?

Edit: I am thinking more Canon IXUS cross bred with a 20000mAh powerbank and stock Android One. In fact Canon or another reliable camera brand would be the perfect manufacturer. Fat and robust could work: sell the functionally ugly to practical tradesmen type? Unfortunately writer desires thin and light, which I don’t care about. No need for front-facing camera, instead put a 1” (4:3?) screen on the side of the main camera to allow for pointing/framing when doing selfies.

Functionally oriented people often have other constraints. I have tight constraints for mobiles: I am price sensitive (I break or lose phones), I want vanilla Android (manufacturer skinned often has broken upgrades & broken privacy & broken features), and I generally won’t buy products from extremely niche brands (unpredictable reliability, & trust issues).

All the same reasons for me. Plus I like cheap. I just bought a 3rd gen SE but only because my 7 was on its last legs. The idea that an iPhone 7 isn’t good enough anymore is just absolutely silly to me. I was hoping the 3rd gen SE would be a throwback in size and cost $300, but I didn’t get my wish.

Great question! Most managed Kubernetes services don't support OIDC (and for EKS, which does support custom OIDC providers, it requires restarting the entire control plane to edit the configuration).

This seems needlessly political. According to the article, 70% of Elon Musk's followers are fake, based on the same measurements.
I think they were arguing that it showed more promise at the time. I disagree though, I think it was simply too over-priced for the mainstream. M1 is very competitive both performance-wise and price-wise. I don’t think it will unseat the reigning champ x86 but do see them living side-by-side for a long time.
Yes it also does text input including special keys, multimedia controls, app specific controls like Netflix and support for windows and Linux.

You’re being downvoted but it’s true - R would be dead today if not for the tidyverse (both because of ease-of-use and fostered community).

The experience between using the two is night-and-day. I would rather use the cli than base R at this point, and am convinced that the only proponents of base R over the tidyverse haven’t tried the latter for themselves.
The most successful software company I have worked for used your “pizza-box” model all the time. With 150+ developers. It worked extremely well. The worst software company I have ever worked for spend 95% of its time documenting things and 5% of its time implementing things. It took forever to get anything done.

For context, an analysis estimated 70% of Elon Musk's followers are fake [0]. It suggests the following reasons:

> Very large accounts tend to have more fake/spam followers than others

> Accounts that receive great deals of press coverage and public interest (like ex-President Trump and Mr. Musk) tend to attract more fake/spam followers than others

> Accounts that Twitter recommends to new users (which often includes @ElonMusk) tend to get more fake/spam followers

No doubt this is also true for Biden.

Seems to me that Musk et al should be less concerned about overall percentage of fake accounts than of these big numbers encountered on population accounts.

They don't. Managers have ultimate discretion on hiring and firing. The control is that when a manager seems to be abusing that privilege, they get fired by their manager. It usually ends up being pretty obvious, and the rest of us would call it out. Especially when they were firing good people for no reason.

In fact, sometimes those fired people would be invited back after the bad manager was fired.

i'd be really curious how the author approaches DMs. microblogging didn't make sense to me until i realized that the timeline can just be used as an approach to easily create surface-level connections, with the more fulfilling interactions happening in DMs (or more often, Matrix chatrooms, since i use ActivityPub instead of Twitter and in my corner Matrix is ubiquitous).
Not sure you read my comment thoroughly. I called the RockPro64 nifty, followed by mentioning all 5 of my Pine64 devices are collecting dust. It's embryonic across all 5 devices and that's pretty clear once you get to the camera, or phones.
Another more turnkey (but commercial) option is EpocCam by Logitech.

It's a free driver download for MacOS and Windows and then a paid app for your phone (6 dollars I think) and you can use your phone as a webcam, either over wifi or USB.

It works with OBS, Zoom, Meet, and other stuff (maybe not FaceTime though? I don't use it on my Mac but I know Apple is picky about what cameras can work with FaceTime) and just shows up as a regular webcam on your system.

If you have an older or spare phone, the camera in it is likely waaaay better than a webcam.

Is the specialized knowledge company-related, tech stack complexity, or customer domain expertise?

There's never a clear blueprint but a couple of ways to tackle various flavors of this problem:

* Pair a good engineer with a non-engineer domain expert and let them teach each other as they ideate and build.

* Scope down the projects instead of scaling up the team. Without P/M fit, the team might need to focus their energy and get initial traction solving one aspect of the customer problem.

* Scrap any tech stack complexity and go full hackathon-mode until something clicks.

As it turns out, they do both. They pay a ton and give you a large severance if they let you go.
Fiscally irresponsible? I am looking at this graph and they have been profitable since their IPO. Looks like they started tweaking knobs to be highly profitable 4 years ago. From an investor perspective, I see nothing wrong with the business. It's just that it isn't growing subscribers anymore but profit per share is still going up.

Java does not crash and it can do atomic shared parallelism between cores with OO code something you would need to use arrays to achieve in C/C++ without VM + GC.)

If you're doing work that someone else could do for less, then you're screwed for the reason you're outlining.

The alternative is to do the kind of work very few else can do. For example, there are a lot of people who can take a ticket and code a solution that functions. There are substantially fewer people who can take a vague idea and code a solution that scales, both in terms of performance and in terms of additional functionality.

> perhaps the extra effort invested comes at the expense of other approaches that do uncover more serious bugs

I guess in my experience the effort invested programming in a static language is really not that much higher than dynamic, and in some ways I find it less effortful. For example: pattern matching on a sum type, being sure that I’ve handled all the cases I want to. Is there good empirical research on this?

> That's as good a conjecture to start with as any, but it needs to be revised with findings.

I was attempting to make a factual statement, not a conjecture. If it is true that static types eliminate a class of errors, then type errors must be really cheap for static types not to be worth it on those grounds. My prior is that compiler errors are cheaper than runtime errors here.
Yes. I regularly use this feature sky-high I was looking for something more advanced as vanesa- spoke in the sibling comment.
Via still exists and they never had the throne so I don't think either AMD or Intel are likely to die any time soon. The more interesting bet is if either will still be valued at ~$200 billion in 5 years or if these recent performance challengers end up making a large portion of the existing revenue generating x86 products look like Via CPUs did before they manage to get stronger grips into other product markets like GPUs and networking.

>Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently trying to buy Twitter, has expressed concerns about the number of fake accounts and a potential crack down could see users such as Biden lose a huge number of followers.

What if Musk was simply on a narcissistic vendetta and never actually intended to go through with the purchase, instead merely aiming expose the hot air on which twitter was running?

>We suspend over half a million spam accounts every day, usually before any of you even see them on Twitter. We also lock millions of accounts each week that we suspect may be spam, if they can't pass human verification challenges (captchas, phone verification, etc)," Agrawal wrote

How to mislead without lying: fake followers implicitly sanctioned by twitter are not necessarily spam accounts. This could easily be typical corporate speak, deliberately conflating fake follower numbers with spam accounts to suggest that twitter is "working on a solution" as opposed to acknowledging that twitter manipulates followers.

In any case I would imagine that the current board is less interested in the financial health of the company than they are in its use as an unprecedented political tool. Disinformation warnings are an authoritarian's wet dream.

This is absurd. Don't entrust an online service with the only copies of important data if you don't want to lose it. Even in the most statist society imaginable, making it a criminal act to 'fully ban' a user from a 'service' is barely even definable, let alone feasible or desirable.
You are looking for maximum impulse, not maximum energy. If you run fuel-rich, the extra fuel converts heat into impulse, it acts as reaction mass, so to speak.

Water injection in jet engines works along the same principles, convert heat into volume of vapour.
Thank you. In reading the author's tidyverse critique, I think he has some valid points. It is wonderful that you can do so much with just vectors in base R, and this may be better for true beginners with no coding background. I do not agree with hiding vectors and subscripts and attempting to indoctrinate students with very pure and abstract coding approaches - as it seems to be alleged that some tidyverse advocates do. But "dplyr is bad" is just an awful take, and "dplyr is bad for beginners" is no better. These are just about the worst takes you could have about modern R programming.

Piping to less is essentially the standard way to do this.

It will capture the output and let you scroll up and down.

Otherwise, this would really be a feature of the terminal, and not necessarily required to be supported (it makes sense when you consider that many early real terminals literally printed the output to paper -- who needs scroll-back, just look up the tape! And repeating previously shown output would result in a confusing print-out).

However, if your terminal emulator doesn't have a scroll-back, you could try something like tmux, or alternatively gnu screen. These add lots of little features to the terminal (a buffer to scroll back, split terminals, persistence so you can detach and reattach) (tmux is more modern feeling, IMO).
> From the tone of this piece I gather that the ANSI escape codes are actually standard enough to target.

Correct. Hardware terminals are extinct in the wild, and essentially all software terminals (including the Windows terminal!) now support a reasonable subset of "extended VT100" terminal control sequences. Some of the weirder features of the VT100 (like double-high/double-wide text or VT52 compatibility mode) are usually omitted, and some features which were added in later DEC terminals (like color) are often added.
