You’re typically an at-will employee. Meaning anyone can leave the agreement at any time for almost any reason. In this case, they made a business decision to have work in-office, they probably don’t have to give severance (though shitty if they don’t).

That said, don’t quit. Explain (in writing), but what was agreed during hiring. Further explain when / how soon you can move and express willingness to comply, but short term obligations can’t be adjusted so rapidly.
First off, dependencies aren't just other services. You can have "when the network interfaces are up" as a dependency, for example, so this isn't just about how many programs run at once and in what order.

Second, you care about it in scenarios where predictability is required. If your customer says they want their smart TV or their POS or whatever to boot in no more than X seconds under normal operating conditions, it's really not cool if the system can take a slightly different way to multi-user.target. Dependencies across separate chains can contend for resources, for example.

"But these are embedded systems, you should just run rc.local" I hear you say? Right. These things run like fourty services, from telemetry to user interface and from firmware update to encrypted cloud backup, half of them written in Node.js, on top of a system that's basically built for systemd. It's not something you can extricate yourself out of.

I don't know if there are equivalent examples in the server world (not my field), but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.
The term is a mess in computer science. The standalone definition almost works reverse to the definition in thermodynamics. There is also entropy coding, which is a compression through a set of prefixes and entropy compression which is about the termination of processes. I am sure there are many more...

Most practical approach is to read the meaning through the respective context and sometimes to ignore the sign...

That said, I believe the parent is correct. Compressed data certainly has a higher entropy. But any additional bit from an image or sound is rarely independent in the first place like Shannon demanded it to be the case for the definition of entropy. That they are not independent is precisely the attack vector of many forms of compression. For example the base frequency of a JPG has more entropy if we use the literal definition than higher frequencies that get removed because they lack entropy in a information technical sense.
Reflecting on YC, 2 Years On
This is wonderful news, but also quite shocking. The most progressive city in America has tilted to the right. There’s an old saying: a neocon is a liberal that’s been mugged. The district attorney’s policies were tantamount to state permission to commit crime. If you give Criminals an inch, they will always take a mile.

This is very excellent "non-advice". OP would do well to take it. Document everything, keep hard copies, and don't quit.

Your employers EAP program should typically offer free legal consultations with a lawyer they recommend. EAP calls are typically keep private from your employer.
Presumably, the original-poster here should keep working responsibly.

He won't show up to the office in August, but promises to do so by January. Until then, he keeps programming as he always has. If they want to fire him, that's fine, let them fire him so that he gets the full severance package (unemployment benefits, etc. etc.)
FYI: Its a good idea to pool your cash with some colleges in the same situation to pay for the legal advice, i have done this before, if you have all have the same questions and scenario there is no need for you all to pay multiple times for the same advice.
Yeah surely contact an employment lawyer for sure. This is tricky. Good luck!
Here's a quote from Powell himself:

> And so what we need to do is we need to get demand down, give supply a chance to recover and get those to align. So how might we do that? Right now, in the labor market, there are two job openings for every unemployed person. It’s historically high-level. So in principle, and I’m not saying this will be easy to do, in principle, you could moderate demand, reduce demand to the point where job openings move down substantially, and the labor market gets much closer to being in balance. And that would affect … wages would still be moving up at healthy levels. They wouldn’t have to go down, but ultimately they would be at levels that would be consistent with 2% inflation.
Typescript people pretend to love type system and its benefits while ignoring languages like this which has type designed from ground up. If Elm had some ways to easily preserve object reference (something like `mut` something or reference type like in Webassembly), that would unlock a lot of js interop stories rather than just `port`.
Again, you're the only person outraged. We've had multiple threads like this for various companies recently. I found it useful as now I know that I shouldn't ever apply to work for Tesla. There are probably also other commenters in similar positions given this is a big talking point in the industry at the minute. Hearing others stories and sharing their own can be useful.
One more note here, Tesla has also announced they want to drop 10% of staff. Normally this sort of thing involves severance packages, notifying agencies about upcoming reductions, actually making decisions, etc.

One view here is that if Musk can convince 10% of their staff to quit with this announcement he'll save lots of money (by not paying severance packages and other stuff)!

He's got lots of money, you don't need to save it for him.
I like your comment, too bad it is no longer visible on comments to article, only when I see your comments history.
I guess the only advantage of FreeBSD is that it's got a permissive license for them to not open up the modification sources which can be a primary concern for corporates.

I found software called notunes that will disable iTunes, but now my Amazon music player fires up whenever I stop a Bluetooth call instead.

And yes, I mean the unix like environment. WSL isn't an option for me on my work computer since our giant corporate IT department has the windows machines on an older build (and locked down to the point of productivity sacrifice) that has poor WSL support. I've used it on my home PC and it works surprisingly well and gets better with each update.
I've often wondered if there was a point at which we know "enough". That is to say, any knowledge beyond that point, while perhaps "true" and legitimate, can in no way influence anything anyone possibly does, has access to, or can base any decision on. In other words, is there a level of knowledge that can't be used for literally anything?

Is this that?
>2. One of the things that supposedly impacts African American families is the loss of father's to incarceration, so even if you pump in education and money, you've got a family life missing a second parent and the negative outcomes associated with that.

There's nothing "supposedly" about it; of course an absent father has an impact. And you're right, money isn't going to fix a cultural problem.
You should speak to your Trade Union representative.

Not in a TU? Now you know why people join!

A Trade Union is run by - and for - its members. Even if you're not in a traditional "blue collar" role, it's worth being a member. Your employer has many more lawyers than you do - by teaming up with other people in your industry, you can get access to top quality employment law advice.
Electron needs to work on it's debuggability.

Seriously. That crap is a nightmare. Especially in production mode. Or maybe I just need more time with node, but trying to debug the main loop sans IDE is an act best described as excruciating. Once you start spawning new processes as well, you end up having to custom roll code to massage the port the spawn emits the inspect-brk for, which can end up getting quite complex if you have enough different entrypoints.
I'd say downloading your contract and employment logs and downloading 26,000 files is a different thing.
So as long as you never post any video you made with that camera on any account that is not anonymous, you’re safe. In other words, completely impractical.

This is exactly why all these identifiers and all this tracking are harmful: you can never be anonymous, there’s always someone watching who can couple everything you do to your identity. And it happens with you knowing as little about it as possible.

It's usually not worth claiming it, but it seems like there is an argument for constructive dismissal here.
Plenty of SFPD folks would love to do arrests, but when called made it clear that was no point because the DA would refuse to prosecute. At least that’s what they said on scene.

Wasn’t making the point that it was good but saying that urban design is locked in to “history” is the most common argument against good cycling infrastructure.

Ask an employment lawyer & don't sign anything until you do.

I don't think your employer can just unilaterally declare a contract is all of a sudden void.

The government coddling the wealthy while trampling the poor is not socialism. I know there are folks who use "socialism" to mean "the government doing bad things I don't like" but this is a hangover from the Cold War, and it doesn't really belong anywhere near a civilised discussion.
The average person in society doesn't have the knowledge of a high school economics student though. Even those that learnt eventually forget it.

There's always an implicit older == smarter bias in society but I doubt many people who passed with good grades in high school economics are good at the basic concepts into their 30's.

Not to mention the MMT experiments that have been undertaken in the west over the last few years. I'm not even sure MMT proponents understand the consequences of such things. There's been a lot of resource misallocation that no one seems able to take responsibility for.

GDP, inflation, interest rates, etc are oft considered the main KPI's for politicians by the people who vote for them. It's a dismal science even for those well versed in its ways.
Look at the contract. No doubt is says employment-at-will. 99.9% chance they are not legally bound to pay you a severance.
We just picked them up across an engineering/tech org of ~350 to do precisely what they describe here.

PagerDuty for notifications and on-call rotations, Datadog for monitoring, Slack for communication in-the-moment, Google Docs for post-mortem documentation; Blameless as the glue and automation that takes away a lot of the incidental mental overhead of communicating and documenting while the incident is happening.

Super encouraging to see competition, though. A former teammate turned me on to https://how.complexsystems.fail/ and I'm willing to believe that in a complex enough system, the closest we will get to understanding how it actually works is during/after incident response.
Can confirm for Germany. We complain about too much complaining as well.

> Language is a very low-fidelity way to express information; we can use abstractions to make up for quite a bit, but it doesn't make sense to think that we're accurately transmitting what's going on in every molecule of our bodies when we say what something feels like to us

That's sort of the point though, it's incredibly low fidelity (so low fidelity that computers we're absolutely sure don't have sensory experiences can appropriately and plausibly describe them) yet just about high fidelity enough for me to be sure that people experiencing synesthesia must be having different experiences than me, and there's no particular reason to believe we are or ever will be on a path to me being able to experience their experience in any meaningful way. Even in the twins' case where the transmission mechanism is literally the same substrate connected to the same physical organs that have developed simultaneously, the reports of them having different personalities and preferences suggests that they have different sensory experiences from [partially] shared inputs.

The thorny question then becomes whether sensory experiences are important to independent goal formation and other stuff often considered part of general intelligence. I don't think we know enough to answer that question, but we certainly don't know enough to dismiss it.
Indeed. Even "keep them out of the wrong hands" is likely to essentially be "keep them out of the hands of black people" after certain law makers set the criteria.
We've found userspace ABI does change in some surprising ways occasionally but mostly it doesn't matter to anybody.

e.g. we've seen the format of signal stack frames change in the past but nobody relies on that layout so it's OK.

/proc is another one along those lines - technically somebody could probably complain if it changes but if nobody shouts then it will just drift over time.
That's a valid point, but all of us, every day, are subject to rules, mores, peer pressure, etc. No one TRULY does exactly what they want, all the time.

Different people can value these rules in different amounts, and to your point, I didn't value "what I'm wearing" as much as some other people do, so I get you.
Crypto learning platform launches to teach crypto in plain English
Hey @ramoz, great question. Materialized views have quite a few limitations. We have explored a few solutions using them.

https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/materialized-views-in...

We might still introduce them in a future release to optimise a few queries.

Two years ago we started with Clickhouse - we also built the aggregation pipelines around this. For data ingest we have a variety of different solutions, but at present stream to BigQuery for simplicity rather than anything else.

We will be bringing Clickhouse back soon (we are speaking to them at the moment!) as we try and find a way that would enable those wishing to self-host to have a simple and scalable setup.

Our goal is to support the self-hosed version as we believe that will help the community thrive.

I wonder how approachable it would be to optimise a custom model for ANE. According to the code examples at the bottom, the current implementation seems to be a custom model, so no generic solution.

Anyway, it seems that we are at dawn of deploying mode cool models which formerly required cloud computation to the hands of the users. Really cool!

Are we going to see more federated learning being pushed to user devices or is it a dead branch only useful for a few use cases?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans who believe that not prosecuting people for stealing is part of socialism.
The fight against universal healthcare has nothing to do with actual costs, and everything to do with employer provided benefits. If you need to get benefits from your employer, it requires you to take jobs that are less favorable or desirable, or prevents you from leaving your current one because you're afraid of losing healthcare.
Suprised to find out that there is not a simple abstraction layer that makes it the same across all platforms.

Question for people who actually live in SF now and have lived there for a long period of time:

Is it as bad as I see online? 10-15 years ago I would have loved to live in SF, work for a startup etc. and all I heard were good things about the city. There was a homelessness problem but I didn't hear much more than that.

Now it sounds like a hell hole. Crime seems to be the main issue and I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable visiting as a tourist never mind living there.

Is my perspective skewed by the sources I'm reading or have things really deteriorated to that extent?
Yes. Another, really counterintuitive scenario is Abraham Wald's "reinforce the planes'armour in the places where you don't see bullet holes".
I suppose they could raise taxes to build a lot more jails and lock all the homeless up. Out of sight, out of mind.

(Sorry if this is not obvious sarcasm. To be sure, I think a city where residents try not to make eye-contact with the man possibly dying in the street is a failed city, it seems the solutions on the other end of the spectrum are tragic as well. Is the middle-solution going back to pre-Reagan mental hospitals?)
No, I'm comparing apple to apple because I didn't say anything about import. Just like comparing 5% and 10%, it's just an opaque unit comparison.

Just for my own clarification as there's been a lot of misreporting on this subject, but has your own manager told you that you need to come into the office or did you only see Elon's email?

>Also, I’m envious and have a mimetic desire to model you :)

Well, what is the model then? I would say I roughly understand the sentiment, but if you asked me, I would say that the envy stems from a past positive or negative experience. Being around someone who made you feel "uncool" in comparison, or being perceived as cool and getting recognition.

That's Pavlovian right? You experience an emotion caused by similarities to a past stimulus. Sure, the emotion is triggered by a model of reality. That's pattern recognition though, not "role-modelling." You didn't learn your fear of snakes on TV. That shit's hard wired. (Well, for most people, if you have it. Kind of a weird example because it can be very unconscious. Until you find yourself spontaneously jumping at a garden hose.)

I do think that Burgis' model applies to fad-following behaviour, and does a good job of explaining trend-followers. The example of wearing clothes because you want to look like the model makes sense. Makes sense, but is it true? Do most people experience this? I don't think so. My problem is that you can over apply the theory to situations where there is probably no model, but you can fabricate one if you try hard enough.
There are L2 chains that are less than a cent per transaction.
I just tried the site. In Firefox I searched for "led lighting" and this is the page I saw:

https://il.godaddy.com/en/domainsearch/find?checkAvail=1&tms...

However, I did notice the flash of something else loading and a redirect, so I hit the browser's back button and this is where it took me:

https://instantdomainsearch.com/?q=led+lighting

Something on that page is causing an immediate redirect to Godaddy.

I just tested on Google Chrome and had slightly different results. Instead of a redirect, the Godaddy page opened in a new tab (which was focused) yet the instantdomainsearch.com page remained in another tab.

Getting a payments terminal is not easy, this would requires ID verification and working business bank account (acquirer), this terminals are highly regulated.

Agreed. Socialism is defined better as workers owning the means of production. In "socialism for the rich", it is still the rich owning the means of production, aka capitalism.

I would not recommend moving for a job for a company that 1) is directly breaking an agreement they made when you were hired and 2) has announced a future 10% layoff for salaried employees.

What if you move and are still laid off?

Unless it’s a place you want to move to anyway that seems like a risky move.

Either way I would take this moment to consider your options. Maybe the job is great and they will let you stay remote. Maybe the move is one you want to make anyway. But don’t bet on the new, hastily changed situation being now stable and reliable.
A person in jail can't break into your house. People incompatible with society need to be removed from it.
Do not quit, but discuss your situation with your manager. Things might not be so bad as Elon makes them appear. As you say, you are willing to move, just 4 months later.
I can hardly imagine that your manager wouldn't be willing to find some solution for this. Unless he already wanted to get rid of you anyway of course.
Yeah, that one seems really practical to me. I think CCS2 is only slightly worse, with the additional dedicated DC charging pins.

Lots of these are drug interactions. Have a symptom? Here is a drug for that. Doctors rarely check and often are not aware of the potential for harm. Seniors taking 2-3 dozen drugs regularly are not uncommon and often feel much better when medications are removed from their regimen. Data science should be able to help at both ends connecting problems with drug interactions that trigger them and then warning of possible problems when considering or prescribing medicines.
