Yeah, I got curious about that, and googled for the word. "Enroll, One-Time, $550", it said. Right :-)

The EU was against Scotland unilaterally declaring independence from the UK, because you know, Spain/Catalunya, Romania/Szeklerland, Italy/Veneto, Belgium/Flanders,... (the list is endless).

But otherwise, Scotland was part of a former EU member, I imagine they would not necessarily use the pound (a Scottish pound would probably be weak), so they'd probably adopt the euro in a short while, there is a ton of cultural affinity with the EU, probably more than for England in some regards, etc.

Scotland for sure could get an accelerated membership process if they do decide to become independent. They could even start some of the paperwork or at least contacts before they gain the official independence, I imagine.
Can anyone explain their 6 plus billion dollar yearly operating costs?

I hope it's not mainly advertising.
W.C. Fields was a comedic genius, and brilliantly hid a lot of biting satire in overly obvious slapstick. He is so unfortunately forgotten today. The film "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" is 83 years old, and people still don't know what he was saying. I suspect he would have found it hilarious that his line is so thoroughly misunderstood.

Too bad Phabricator is no longer with us. Are there any actively maintained forks?
How does this relate to the existing tracking protection settings - should I turn off "block all third party cookies"?

That setting breaks a few things, but mostly works OK. I'm confused which protection level this new capability corellates to.
Personally, I think that asynchronous communication is more efficient is a fallacy. In a verbal, synchronous conversation (a phone call), you can communicate extremely efficiently. Misunderstandings or doubts are detected and clarified instantly. On the other hand, finding a moment to listen to a voice message, listening to it, responding later etc. seems to take _much_ more time in total.

This is of course highly subjective. You might prefer the ability to choose the most suitable moments for communicating over communicating efficiently. My impression is, however, that the asynchronous type of conversation just stresses people out because the initial illusion of "just a quick message" turns into an endless back and forth of clarifications. I cannot imagine a meaningful communication on any level that does not require any kind of clarifying question, queries etc.; be it even just for expressing empathy or confirmation.

I wonder if there is any linguistic research on verbal asynchronous communication to make the matter less subjective.
Ever heard of that thing called the "Basque <<Country>>", for example? :-)
> Everyone has a thing in their life long overdue for a change. It might be a piece of clothing that you're convinced still looks good on you or that pickup line that's more sleaze than smooth. For macOS, it needs to admit that settings... I mean... System Preferences is long (LONG!) overdue for an overhaul.

I have to say, Preferences was fine. Sure it isn't great, but it was OK. Meanwhile Finder continues to be a crime against humanity. It boggles my mind how bad it is. Yet, it remains largely untouched since as long as I've been using a Mac (10-15 years).
Covid UPDATE: What is the truth?
Something about this whispers "crank" to me. Maybe the style combined with the subject matter, and the self aggrandizement?
People get scammed with telephones and 7-eleven gift cards, should we ban those too? Bans only target the symptoms while ignoring the root cause and hurting the 99.999% of valid use in the process.

And as another pointed out, this scam involved no actual crypto.
It’s also a sign of a terrible company. Rolling layoffs are almost always better for the organization.
I wonder why Microsoft doesn't make Edge a privacy-oriented browser. I'm surprised they think they can make more from the data economy than they would gain by seriously hurting Google et al.
> Should an ad agency do due diligence on every product they advertise, even if they understand nothing about it?

Why not? This will cut down on scams and dubious products dramatically, a good thing in my opinion.
The question is whether or not GitHub is losing market/mind share and if we will see a slow migration away from GitHub towards GitLab (self hosted or otherwise).

No system is perfect. And at some point the incremental improvements from GitLab will be appealing to a larger set of projects. If enough of the “cool” projects move to GitLab, we will see a SourceForge like shift away.

My money long term is on https://sr.ht . I largely kid — sourcehut doesn’t seem like it is really designed for the masses. And I think that’s the point. But the more I use something like Sourcehut, the more I appreciate the minimal GUI.
<insert startup name> has always been amateurs.

In this era of cheap money it's been maddening to see how absurdly incompetent companies can be and still push forward with no consequences.

I've seen teams of people working on credit scoring with no understanding of expected default. They literally just throw data at XGBoost, and couldn't understand why they couldn't find a way to profit off a group of people with a 30% default rate when the upper bound of interest they could charge was 25%.

This pattern is repeated all over startup land (I've also never met a company that knew how to model churn correctly, this is an essential business metric and yet again people throw XGBoost at it), but cheap money means that doing anything is rewarded with more money so every idea seems like a good one.

Crypto companies will be the first to go, but hard times are coming for anyone working at a company that doesn't have a profit.
By "debug", you mean shooting up all the drones that ended up being created with some instruction that had as a side effect that humanity would go extinct? (Perhaps something like: "Collect all H20 from Earth, and bring it to Orbital 4B")

Gitlab restricts its free offering while Github enhances it. I don't know about instagram, but if you're cheap and want free ride, Github just better. Gitlab is open source which is huge for self-hosting and that's about it.
One can also right click on a file, hold option, and copy the file name from the context menu. Command option C will let you do it without the mouse.
I agree. This typing velocity argument is really weak. It may be faster to start, but talk to me once the project reaches 10K+ lines of code and we'll see how you fare with your scripting language.

That may very well happen, but Coinbase is directly blaming their layoffs on over-hiring for web3 usecases and ideas that they feel are no longer financially viable.
The video of the plane going down is enough to strongly suggest it. It was almost completely nose-down before it hit the ground, which is basically not going to happen without the pilot commanding it.
Europe is not a country, there are different laws everywhere. I haven't seen one yet, that would explicitly make it forbidden to cut off the access. Can you share a link to such law?
Nobody is saying it's the only way to do things. In USA it's not the only way to do things. It's not only done in USA (I worked in Canada and in Europe, never in USA).

I'm Canadian, it's our national pastime to diss our neighbours to the South, but the notion that a laid off employee can be a high risk to the company knows no borders. Are we making a claim that those working on Rafale or Gripen get to keep messing with classified files after being fired, because "we don't DO that in Europe"? :)
You’re best off making peace with it as that genie is not going back in the bottle.
That's what I've always known it as. It can be quite long, especially in financial services.

I'm not sure I follow. You said

> It doesn't have anything to do with distance to the objects

yet if the moon and the sun were the same distance from the Earth the phenomenon would not occur, so I'm having trouble understanding what your claim means. It seems the phenomenon can only arise because of the difference in distance to the objects.
No disagreement, having used Python a lot and finding it much nicer for this case. My compliments to Go on this were relative to the just how tedious the “implement this sort interface” method was that TFA was describing. sort.Slice is definitely still pretty rote (I think I write the same Less() function 90% of the time?), but it’s at least fewer characters of rote!

I’m looking forward to generics improving this too. (e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47619#issuecomment-91542...)
I don't really need to find those examples, I've written most of my company's product in Rust using async, for years, and it's never once been an issue. That's 100s of thousands of lines of rust written and 0 async issues.
Technically they started years before that and lost a lot of money. If you are a high level executive, your data shouldn't come from hedge funds.
> Having to spend half your available income for things that are automatically taken on your salary in Europe is _the_ major reason Americans are paid considerably more

Are you thinking of anything beyond healthcare? Youre correct that salaries and GDP are difficult to compare, but US disposable income pc is dramatically higher than almost anywhere in Europe, with the couple exceptions being tiny enclaves like Luxembourg or petrostates like Norway. Subtracting healthcare spending doesn't come close to closing the gap btwn the US and eg France.

And this isn't explicable by retirement either, as Actual Individual Consumption is also dramatically higher in the US.

Hell, I'm not even sure your hypothesis makes sense at first glance. If the salary difference was simply a matter of shifting govt spending into the personal ledger, wouldn't pretax incomes be as high in Europe? After all, much of the layoffs we're talking about are high-income enough that the employees would surely be net-payers in any mildly progressive tax system.
USB-C is, in fact, NOT at all the "better mousetrap" in terms of an iPhone connector. It has no significant advantages for Apple users who already are using Lightning.

You seem to be leaving out all the ways in which it's better for Apple's customers to have, and to keep, Lightning, so, let's review so you can argue in good faith and from an informed perspective next time:

1) Lightning is significantly more compact than the USB-C port, enabling a more durable case in the vulnerable area surrounding the port
2) Lightning is more durable as well
3) Lightning even FEELS better to plug in and to use
4) Lightning has superior ability to be waterproofed
5) Billions of Lightning cables and accessories have already been manufactured and are in use and it'd be nice to not replace them all until that's actually necessary
I(an american) was quitting a job at a UK company and tried to put in my 2 weeks notice, they said the standard was a 2 months notice for them and so I just kinda bumbled along for 2 months not doing much. Really odd practice

I first saw this in longer form in 1990 as "How Tom Swift Invented Everything" in American Heritage of Invention & Technology:

https://archive.org/details/sim_american-heritage-of-inventi...

As an eager and indiscriminate child reader I had read most of the earlier Tom Swift books and had little clear understanding of the time they were set in or of which inventions remained speculation and which were long overtaken by events. Practical or not, Tom Swift's inventions and adventures were one of many inspirations for my interest and later career in science and technology.
You seem to know something I don't. What is the evidence of a misguided belief? OP was skeptical this change would make a difference, but shares that it did. I did not see any forward-looking statements implying the new job "will get rid of all his woes", only what they are experiencing now. Elsewhere on the thread, OP shared that they are using this opportunity to work more intentionally on their relationship with their wife, which doesn't sound like the kind of thing someone who thinks all their problems have been magically fixed would do.

> OP should definitely seek professional guidance

You speak with the certainty of a professional (more, in fact, since a professional would know how little they know about the situation). Are you one? Do you have any reason to believe OP _hasn't_ sought professional guidance?

If you have something to share about _why_ talking with a professional would be worthwhile, or how to find the right one, or what kind of professional to look for, or something else that OP would plausibly think to themselves, "wow thanks, this is really useful" – that would be kind to share. Personal/secondhand anecdotes often work (as distasteful as some find it), as do peer-reviewed evidence etc.
The EU would for sure accept the membership request. They'd probably accelerate it, even.

Before Brexit the only blocker was a unilateral declaration of independence, which will not happen. Scottish independence will most likely be a mutual separation.

And after that the Scottish budget will be hammered hard so I imagine they'd definitely want to join the EU ASAP to get help. Access to huge markets for exports, cheaper imports, EU funding for developing regions, etc.
No one is having "childish jealousy", they just want fair treatment and a chance at a good life. No one "prefers a society where everyone's poor", that's just childish and off-putting straw men by you.

Please explain how having a few billionaires "comes with the benefit of more jobs" and stuff for everyone else. How is it better to share the crumbles, instead of the whole bread? Perplexing.
I never really understood why people wanted to work for them in the first place. I knew they had large RSU packages (probably rather depressing now for the people tempted by it), but their culture always sounded horrible. Everything I saw screamed "you'll be expected to work > 40 hours every week", and even when they talked about culture it was hustle, make the company money. Which is probably more honest than most companies, but being so on the nose with the exploitation normalizes the expectation.
Alameda is the single scariest entity in crypto. They're absolutely brutal. I exit every trade once it becomes apparent that Alameda is in.

“Something bad happens”

God damn it, capitalism strikes again!
Depends on what you're doing. There are apps that can be written in Rust much more quickly than in other services, cause you don't have to worry about a lot of stuff (like for example it's hard to keep an open connection for every client and process everything real time in Ruby on Rails).
>I was actually surprised because I heard so much about crazy new materials like carbon fibers, graphene, technologies like 3D-printing,... but apparently what makes a machine break are still the same things: mechanical stress, heat dissipation, friction,... new materials and processes might change the coefficients, but not the (mostly Newtonian) physics (my interpretation btw, not his words).

I don't really see the difference between that an programming. Writing code is still a bunch of "if" statements, the same underlying data structures, same algorithms, etc. There's some new technology being added on the top akin to carbon fiber and the other things you mentioned but it's fundamentally the same.
>>I think I'd just quit if I was told to lay off people on my team.

I did that in the dotcom bust. As a manager I was highest paid and had least billable hours, so when asked to reduce costs in my team I was the logical choice to go. The company went through a series of layoffs but at least for that cut I managed to leave my team in place for a bit longer. I went travelling for a year, so also benefitted from not having to deal with any more rounds of layoffs.
The first thing I check with these layoffs is the proportion of engineering vs not engineering layoffs.
Yea so maybe that degree thing is a German problem. I do not know the other markets/countries. Here, what I said is certainly true.

A standing desk is better than no standing desk but won't correct everything by itself. Taking a break and walking around is fine but I still need to get back to staring into the computer screen to do my work.

yeah SBF doesn't believe in crypto. He might pay some lip service but he doesn't hold any position extensively.

The same happens in Europe. It did not happen to my but a friend but he knew that he was the one to go when he couldn't login to his laptop after lunch break. And when they let him do it to finish some things he got someone watching behind his back.
That chart of deaths looks fishy. It shows a lot more deaths from 2011-2020 than from 2021-2022. Which seems completely obvious. Of course there is more deaths in 10 years than there is in 1.5 years. Unless they intend to say "deaths per year", but that's not on the lable at least. Numbers for 2020 and 2021 are useless anyway due to reduced number of flights.

It looks like someone wants to push their political agenda.
I do report unwanted contacts from recruiters - it's a functionality that already exists
This was a well known thing at a company I worked for that was involved with government work. If you were leaving for another industry the last 2 weeks were for finishing up work and saying goodbye to your coworkers.

If you were leaving for a competitor you were walked out within an hour of submitting your resignation and promised your 2 weeks pay. It was so well known that engineers would schedule vacations starting the day after they planned to resign and say their goodbyes to coworkers before telling their bosses.
> FYI: If you're primarily IO-heavy, the GC pauses aren't going to be a big deal. Something like NodeJS (or Async .Net) will have great performance; even with garbage collection. (IO-heavy is the specific use case that NodeJS was designed to handle.)

This just isn't true. Node is pretty terrible even at IO heavy workloads, especially if you have servers with many cores. Any benchmark will confirm this.
>The six figure salary is diluted by spending weekends constantly having to learn new technology off the clock

You don't need to do this forever. Usually you can just focus on a stack and related technologies and do well. Once you have experience and a clearly defined need, ad-hoc research is good enough.
My bank right now gives something like 0.01% APY interest, so "more than you could earn in a bank" doesn't really scream "worth the risk" to me. But I guess someone fell for it.
For many years Go has been displacing C/Python/PHP/Ruby/backend JS in situations where it's a clear win or at least the tradeoffs in tooling, speed, type systems, distribution etc. can be expressed in terms of agreed-upon technical priorities.

Now there's a lot of Go code in the wild, projects people want to use or extend and programmers who will choose it by default, and it's starting to displace C#, Java, and C++ where the comparisons become a lot more preferential and vague. Do you want a faster GC or deterministic allocation? Nominal or structural interfaces? People fear change, especially in a field where change is only loosely correlated with improvement.
Thanks! Mercury's goal is to make notebook sharing as easy as possible for creators (developers) and viewers (non technical users).
The problem is that people have started to invest other people's money in crypto. Quebec, El Salvador, and probably a few private funds now hold crypto and crypto-related assets.

Then there are people who simply don't know better and were conned into throwing money at crypto.
AMD Linux graphics driver developers use(d) their own naming scheme (separeate from the hardware codenames) for RDNA2 GPUs based on X11 colors and fish names to make it harder to speculate on unreleased hardware based off the open source drivers. This gave us Sienna Cichlid, Navy Flounder, Dimgrey Cavefish, Beige Goby and Yellow Carp. It seems they stopped doing that for the upcoming RDNA 3 cards though.
> Contrast that with other professions, like law, or medicine. Where it's not just "experience" working in your favor. But actual knowledge of the existing laws and medical practices.

In my experience knowledge decreases very fast if you work in a programming job (exception: if you use an insane amount of your free time to avoid this decrease).
I strongly don't.

It's an extremely presentist view of the 1960/70s.

The idea that the US of the period would have cared about putting minorities on the Moon because the USSR did it is a fantasy.

The USSR's first female cosmonaut flew in 1963, two years after Gagarin's first flight. By contrast the first US female astronaut didn't fly until 1983, 22 years after the first US manned spaceflight.

The US of the 1960s didn't go for copy cat tokenism, their response to losing the Moon race would have been to start the Mars race. It's a sad indictment of current American mentality that this blindingly obvious escalation wasn't the response of the writers of the show. It's a side effect of living in a country which hasn't been able to build anything more complex than a sports stadium in 40 years. We have no new ideas and neither does our fantasy.

Yes, like a camera. You are confusing what we "see", with interpretations that don't occur in the eyes. That's even why you put the word "see" in quotes. You used the wrong word. The word "see" explicity refers to what is observed by the eyes, not our later interpretations.
