> Economists estimate that 325K jobs were added in May, down from the 428K increase in April. The unemployment rate is expected to improve slightly to 3.5% from 3.6% in April.

There is no way in hell that we're currently in a recession with that kind of job growth and low unemployment.
I had a conversation with an HR friend of mine recently. According to her, she is inundated with fake requests for unemployment from people that never worked at her employer. Or people join, then quit promptly and apply for unemployment. This is in California.

I would think the state would have protections against this type of thing, but maybe not.
This sounds interesting, is there a similar role available in the UK?
My approach with control was to max out two skills (floating, throwing stuff) and ignore the rest of the systems almost entirely. I upgraded the single gun I used.

Fortunately this was viable and the game doesn't punish you for not engaging with every facet of the varied upgrade/crafting/salvaging systems.

So that may be an option if you'd like to complete it!
I used to tell people that CNN was the most neutral of all the cable news channels. The channel a business can have running in their lobby or waiting room without signalling a partisan allegiance (unlike Fox, or MSNBC.)

I still think that, but I usually keep that thought to myself these days because everybody laughs at me cruelly when I say it. I'd say they've lost a lot of credibility.
QM, SR, and GR literally didn't exist 120 years ago...think about that.

Also any physics paper you read today is about one of those major discoveries made over past 120 years, except maybe extromagantism or optics
You know, I'm currently using a monorepo concept for the backend of a project, and I think I'll soon split it up into multiple repos, with a shared base Docker container for the generated code they all share (ORM database models).

The problem with my plan is that I know from experience that making changes to the shared Docker layer is a pain in the ass to get it to propagate across your other projects as you're developing it, at first. Once you learn the incantations to chant, it's quick.

I just don't want to have to teach my team the incantations. It takes time!

If we get another round of funding and/or I find out I'll need to care about this project for more than a few additional months, I will likely make the switch, but at this point I can probably white knuckle my way into whatever exit we end up with.

And honestly, I think this is how the decision should be made; entirely dependent on a) your team and b) your anticipated future state of your work environment. No right answers here, just more or less complex ones with better or worse tradeoffs.
> Actually this group’s political positions are all over the map

So?

What I said is I understand finding them comforting if your ideological biases align with their approach, not if you happen to share their exact (especially superficial) ideological position.

> The thread that connects them is a lack of influence from DC/Wall St/arms industry.

That (substantively or superficially) is certainly an angle that can appeal to a particular set of ideological biases, yes.

By that book, do you mean the one authored by Spiegel?

I went over that book fully. From cover to cover. It was absolutely fantastic, and as good as a "problems book" can be.

I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get their feet wet with problems in Vector Calculus.

Although it is neither a rigorous treatment (look into Arfken, Weber, Harris for that), nor it is greatly healpful pedagogically (look into Mary L. Boas for that), nor is it easy (look into Riley, Hobson, Bence for that).

The greatest intro material into Linear Algebra still remains the one by Gilbert Strang.
The word wasn't selected randomly, though, so it doesn't tell us much about the broader unrewarded space. And there's a fair amount of evidence that (1) the tokenization of the word includes a bunch of syllables that correspond to the Latin names of birds, and (2) this same technique doesn't work with other reproduced nonsense text (i.e. using the nonsense text produced when asking about workers working in offices gives you more nature scenes, not offices). This makes it difficult to argue that what is going on here is even a secret vocabulary, let alone a secret language.
You're right when you divide the population into the extreme ends, but this doesn't prove symmetry.

I don't have the link at hand but studies demonstrate that progressives in general are far more politically interested and active versus anybody center to right of center, minus the far right.

In that group center to center-right, there's less idealism and more pragmatism, and sometimes plain indifference.
> Any plans to revisit the pricing? I've in the Kagi beta for months and it's way better than DDG, but it's hard to justify US$120/year when Google is free.

Everyone has different needs, but I've seen this "I hate google but not enough to spare $10 a month out of my budget" sentiment quite a lot in these comments and it really surprises me.

Folks, there are almost non-stop complaints on HN about "big tech is evil" this and "Mozilla is mismanaged" that. There are endless tirades about "big tech monopolies" and how there is an insurmountable dearth of competition in the browser space. The sheer number of comments I've read where people attack Apple because anything that isn't Safari is more or less a second class citizen on their platforms, where people cry out for more options, for even a single ever-loving service that isn't driven by ad revenue, and about how freeloaders who expect unlimited free tiers are the bane of humanity is bonkers.

I mean, HN has tens of thousands of comments bemoaning these things.

Any of you who're reading this and haven't tried it out yet, give the beta a shot and then ask yourselves: is watching and experiencing the continual decline of free services from huge companies (companies that may as well be monopolies and duopolies) worth saving $170 a year (kagi and Orion+)? Or would you rather support a worthy cause with some real potential?

One of the most oft-repeated sayings I see here is "vote with your wallet" and now's the time to do it.
There are many, many victimless crimes that people are unreasonably incarcerated for.
Ah ok, thanks for that.

And so as to give some deeper insight into the motivation for my question: I often wonder....might the degree to which agents within a system communicate accurately (both in the sending and the receiving) have any substantial effect upon events and the evolving state within the system over time?

Say, if we consider two planets: one whose inhabitants speak "highly" accurately, and one who inhabitants speak.....well, like we do here on planet Earth, circa 2022 (opinions are facts, fantasy is reality, etc - and everyone does it, despite fantasies to the contrary) - all other things being equal, might this cultural norm contribute to some of the issues on this planet that people complain about constantly?

To be clear: I am asking in general, not as an attack on your comments here.
It sounds like you are dealing with a technical program manager. TPM does/should engage technically, and overlaps responsibilities with an engineering manager. Not every project requires a TPM so perhaps yours only requires an engineering manager/tech lead.

I'm kind of amazed Angular is still around. I hadn't heard of it for what feels like years at this point & assumed it was already in the graveyard. My company tried using it back in 2017ish but it was a pain for us at the time.

Other than Google's own services, does anyone have any examples or experiences using Angular nowadays?

I keep hearing this, but I've never figured out why it might be the case, and particularly with Electron over Chrome/FF?

Surely if react/svelte etc are built well they're relatively low processor / compute? When manipulating canvas / images / rich-whatever, I assume graphic accelerated functions would work substantially better than alternatives.

That’s a very condescending position, that only those with a lack of exposure would find these sources compelling because they’ve been hoodwinked by their writing style. You go on to cite Glenn Greenwald as an example of not a real journalist, who has a Pulitzer Prize and founded a gigantic news organization.

Glenn Greenwald doesn’t “seem like” the adult in the room, he is. The corporate media meanwhile almost exclusively provides commentary on stories from news wires, and where they do break stories, have many times turned out to be false, politically motivated, and never retracted.

Chris Hedges spent years of his career in active conflict zones. Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, Matt Taibbi — these guys have done tons of original investigative journalism. Your criticism doesn’t land.

Absolutely. Sometimes I’m also just paid to be „that outside guy“ who can bring in fresh ideas or change things that were set in stone just by virtue of not having a stake in internal corporate politics and not looking to take away anyone‘s cushy job.

I would like to go back and edit my comment in order to provide more context and word my post more thoughtfully. The terseness of it was a downside, to be sure. Unfortunately it was flagged relatively quickly and I lost the opportunity to add an Edit: at the bottom.

Particularly because your quote of "If the employees don’t follow the corporate directives they can hire new people" is along the lines of something I wanted to get across but failed to do so. I believe that if CNN wants less of a 'progressive stance' they would have to hire more conservative journalists because I don't see the progressive ones as wanting to 'be less progressive', so to speak.

I'd be fine with people getting hurt as a result of the pivot to Web3, but the people who deserve to be hurt will instead profit from the pain they cause everybody else.
Same thing here. I think tooling (packers included) aren't really designed for this, as demonstrated by the hacks you need to apply to aliases and directories. I hope this is fixed over the next few years, because like you, I got it to work but it is fugly.
I don't think the article is saying what you're describing at all, or at least, if it is then I missed it.

As I understand it, the article is basically just claiming that to become an outstanding engineer, you can't just code what you're told to code, you need to understand why any particular feature is needed. Obviously that doesn't replace user research, project management, business leadership and strategy, or anything like that - no developer will also be an expert in all of those things, and a good business, like any team, has differentiated roles. But a strong developer understands what's going on in other places - they understand the overall business strategy, even if they wouldn't be able to come up with a strategy on their own; they understand how users are interacting with their product, even if they aren't doing the user research themselves, and so on.

I've worked with a number of developers for whom this sort of thing was a complete mystery - they could program very well, but if they were told one day to build one thing, and the next day to build the opposite, they'd just go away and do that, and never question why their instructions made no sense. Whereas a more senior developer would want to understand why they're getting contradictory instructions, and try and explore whether there's a non-contradictory solution.
The problem with Microsoft isn’t the licensing. It’s the constant quest for control and the abuse of power. Look at Windows 10 dark patterns.

I prefer that the organization responsible for those abuses stays away from Linux, and anything else I actually use.
Been there, done that already. The British have tried that before.

We called it the Interregnum[1]. It turned out nobody liked a system without a superuser so the fix was a restoration plus tweaks to limit powers.

You’ll note this all happening well before others decided to repeat the experiment.

The system has been ticking along at some definition of “fine”[2] ever since.

1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Interregnum

2. Personally I’m less concerned about who the ceremonial head of state is than I am about having a police force that refuses to investigate the Prime Minister for breaking the law[3].

Whilst at the same time retrospectively investigating women for breaking the very same law by attending a protest about the murder of a woman by a serving officer of that very same police force.

Now that is fucked up.

> The Great Resignation is curious, if I could speculate maybe it was the pandemic bailout and markets bubble (crypto too) making people think "I've got money now!"

I dunno if it’s even about money. The pandemic and the way it was handled REALLY messed with a lot of people’s heads. I’d say a not insignificant number of people had what amounts to a religious awakening of sorts. I’ve seen it myself, several people just deciding to make drastic life changes out of the blue.
Your going out of business doesn't undo the great things you did for all those people who needed that second chance.

Turns out, for instance, Halcyon Molecular was similar, it went bust losing tons of money but it let me get a decent wage after all the employment discrimination I suffered for standing up to torture (false imprisonment, so very similar, had a gap in my resume I couldn't explain because I didn't realize there was an April in 2009, it just hurt to think about that moment in my life). That $20-an-hour job allowed me to create abnormal speedups for many algorithms, leading to https://fgemm.com, which I'm working on now.

It was my second chance. And it created the tech it was meant to, just not the way the investors expected.

EDIT: can't reply to selimthegrim except here, at the limit of posts. I will get it working. I know it's not up yet, it's coming soon. Currently ironing out the algorithms instead.
Some people are also more wicked, less empathetic, more manipulative, and more opportunistic.
In general, that's called the Torrens titles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrens_title) after the MP of South Australia (which is now an Australian state) which implemented it. It's actually not that common, to highlight this in the US only Guam (which was then part of the Captaincy General of the Philippines) is the only US territory or state fully implementing Torrens titles, with some states partially implementing it and some (like the area in and around Chicago and the state of California) repealing it.

Edit: I need to clarify that some states/countries have non-Torrens land registries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_registration) or deeds registries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeds_registration) but they only record what allegedly happened and ownership can be challenged in court, so these registries are not a guarantee of ownership (unlike in Torrens titles where the titles are indefeasible and the only possible lawsuits are about the circumstances of the transfer like if the original owner was defrauded).
What a waste, didn't learn anything, just ticked off boxes.
I am shocked and dismayed that a team of software developers would be willing to implement this kind of feature. The following poem comes to mind:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I drink coffee because it became part of my routine, then I got to enjoy it, and now it helps me focus while working.

One aspect I notice from my caffeine intake is that it helps me deal with stuff in general--nothing stresses me out. The downside is that I also feel positive things less as well, so I try to limit it to morning/mid-afternoon of weekdays. I can certainly see in my case living a life with less stress promoting longevity but with less richness of experience.

CNN has such a bad image for multiple reasons. Initially it was just poor news coverage and lazy reporting( I remember so many jokes on reddit bashing them), this was in the 2000's.

Then for whatever reason in the 2010's they started to fork to the hard left and covering every story with a level of bias I would associate with Fox News(but left facing). Some of their news stories were so bad it was comical, ie. saying Joe Rogan had taken horse tranquilizer stands out as particularly egregious(a Dr. prescribed him ivermectin a perfectly safe drug with dubious effectiveness against covid).

This change is like Jerry Springer leaving his trashy TV show and trying to run for Senator(and backing out), his reputation like CNN's is so tarnished that no one would ever take it seriously again.
I said Carlson on war issues. Show me where Jimmy Dore or Viva Frei have been wrong. Dore had one major mistake in years of coverage, that I’m aware of, and he posted an apology for it. In the same time span that he exposed dozens of unretracted flat-out lies and falsehoods from major media organizations.
That seems like an unnecessary complication; just put the more simple examples at the top of the section and make them more complex as you proceed down.

Thank you for sending me down this rabbit hole. The Dominic system [0] is quite entertaining in its description:

> Longer numbers become stories. The long number 27636339, for example, could be chunked into 2763 6339 and then converted into BGSC SCCN. If the memorizer has also associated Santa Claus delivering presents with SC, then the chunk 2763 would represent Bill Gates delivering presents while 6339 would represent Santa Claus performing a roundhouse kick. The remembered story, therefore, could be that Bill Gates delivered presents and then got roundhouse kicked by Santa Claus.

Show HN: Pay less for your next acquisition
While I don't disagree with you at all, the current startup scene doesn't feel organic. So many of these "startups" are severely bloated and should have gone public ages ago.

A simple look at the employee headcount at most unicorns is startling. A startup that's years away from IPO shouldn't have 5,000+ employees. At that point, you lose much of the agility startups are supposed to have in the first place.

The constant inflow of private funding have allowed startups to acquire way too many bad habits and bureaucratic layers.
TikTok required billions of dollars on ad spend to be able to compete. Definitely shows you can break into being a top-tier social product, but it maybe requires a lot of money to do in a short amount of time.
Yes, but my point still stands. The money that ends up with the state didn't originate from a local.

Can someone say slaves...
True, I was talking mostly about custom software, but I've also turned that into products.

>> Someone on your team needs to figure out who are the customers you're trying to target, what problems are we trying to solve for them, how can we solve those problems in a way that's generic enough for us to sell it to multiple customers, etc. That's all legwork that a (good) product manager should be doing because, again, no one is proactively defining it for the team.

And this is exactly the task that should be done, NOT ONLY by the project manager. Perhaps, if the PM has a stunning level of deep knowledge of both the engineering capabilities and the product's domain, (s)he might be able to make a good stab at it. But getting actual engineers talking to actual intended users and integrating that knowledge will still make a better product. I'm sure there are some PMs that can pull it off, but...

How many times have you used a product and had to ask "how TF this this even pass first user testing"?. They'd already committed to what turns out to be a dumb design and it was too late to fix it.
