I skipped my own college grad, because I find ceremonies silly, but this poor girl (foster home background, no living family, a homeless stint, already the best employee despite having not graduated yet) just needed 2 hours to celebrate a major life milestone.

I'm sure part of her decision to quit had to do with her co-workers not willing to cover for her even though she did the same for them. I worked quite a few retail jobs in my time and understand her frustration.

And this person wanted to know if he should rant at her? Speechless.

By the way I'm actually surprised that managers know who the best employees are, because in my experience, they aren't usually rewarded or even acknowledged.
in other words, the comment you’re replying to rewrote the past of rewriting the past.

Docker Hub is all-you-can-eat with regard to image storage; GitHub's container registry is metered based on storage, and last time I tried it (over a year ago) it was also really hard to clean up old images.
They'll fix that in a few years.

I suspect Ive was fired because he created the craziness of 2012-2017 post Jobs era.

Trashcan, no ports, touch bar, mouse charging etc etc.

These days I have moderate confidence Apple will fix its issues. Eventually.
Is this based on the actual drop rates of the gems?

Thanks! Do you have the technical docs with the efficiency curves for the Mitsubishi ducted systems? I can’t find the materials amongst all the marketing.

For example this is the Carrier Infinity 24 we are considering. https://d1049ui2fjityy.cloudfront.net/userfiles/inriver/docu...
This, absolutely this.

The hardware is getting better. The software is getting worse.

They're hiding usability.
This is apparently from 2016, and it sounds so, so fake.

I could convince myself it could have happened through most of the story, but the last paragraph is just over the top.

"Even though she doesn’t work here any longer, I want to reach out and tell her that quitting without notice because she didn’t get her way isn’t exactly professional. I only want to do this because she was an otherwise great employee, and I don’t want her to derail her career by doing this again and thinking it is okay. She was raised in a few dozen different foster homes and has no living family. She was homeless for a bit after she turned 18 and besides us she doesn’t have anyone in her life that has ever had professional employment. This is the only job she has had. Since she’s never had anyone to teach her professional norms, I want to help her so she doesn’t make the same mistake again. What do you think is the best way for me to do this?"

I'm not familiar with askamanager, but isn't making up letters pretty standard and time-honored for advice columnists?
His biggest issue was that he was a manager, focused too much on processes and policy detail.

A President usually sets the tone and direction of policy, but avoids personal accountability for the details for a variety of reasons.
Yeah, that's the other problem. And I just don't want to be bothered.
It's slowly changing. They finally added `git restore`, for example.
Agreed. I think the author took the wrong lesson, while you are sensing the real deal. There was a lot of rust advocacy time that ultimately had little clear business value -- a couple of bugs that may have been prevented, and rust may have cost different problems instead. If you're getting paid 6-7 figures and supposed to supporting 2-10X that in revenue, that's a real responsibility.

When an infra investment makes sense (lang, DB, ...), especially for 40+ engineers and who knows how big a workload, the multiplier should make the benefit clear. GPU computing speedups, k8s for easier elasticity, something, and ideally obvious like some sort of 10X. We certainly have quite a queue internally like that ("platform X unlocks property Y that has lift Z"), as do many. Conversely, with time wasted, that's a person distracting themselves and everyone else. Getting aligned with the business isn't about pushing a language that might help but identifying what is the most thing you can do to solve the company's/customer's problems, and going for that one.
The problem with getting a gravity assist from Jupiter is that it causes Jupiter to slightly slow down. Now, you might imagine that Jupiter is very big, and the slowdown is infinitesimal. But these things add up, and as more and more craft get a boost from Jupiter, Jupiter will lose orbital velocity and spiral inward to get sucked into the sun.

And then what?
It links dynamically to msvcrt.dll which is updated as part of the os. I believe it still gets updates as long as it doesn't break the ABI. Modern vc++ links with the universal CRT which is an independently updated msvcrt distribution.
The police remains firmly in hands of the state in India. No matter the party in power. They don’t serve people, they serve politicians.

You would need to increase the percentage in order to make this change.
Yes, and read all of his books! Start w anything that seems interesting. His probabilistic approach to life sciences is wonderful and invigorating.
Isn't that long established, as the article says?

The article, and yours too I would assume, mentions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulinella which is really cool for being a second known primary symbiosis.

Greatest rerun of all time!
Also depends on the complexity of the algorithm (specifically thinking of large neural networks). We have a model that requires 8 A100s for training due to the size of the activations. No way to replicate that on a local machine and have it train successfully in any reasonable time frame.

However the complexity of the algorithm many times scales with the size of the dataset, either the full corpus or the size of individual examples.
Looking at the code, the probabilities indeed match what is disclosed in-game: https://dimi777.github.io/diablo-rift-simulator/index.js

Technically it doesn't account for the 50 gem pity, which doesn't change that much EV-wise for getting a 5/5 gem.

To answer the adjacent replies, they are indeed disclosed in game, just not in an obvious place. (press the [i] button at the Crest Vendor)

That does seem like one of those "too good to be true" arrangements that can fall victim to pricing updates down the track.

That said, not unreasonable to take advantage of it while it lasts.

The miscommunication is in your mind.

Every software out there has defects. Bugs, performance issues, UX issues, etc. To assume that anyone in this thread actually means that submodules have no defects whatsoever... well... that's just creating a straw man to tear down because you're grumpy or something.

The issue appears to be with your understanding of what "bad" means in this context. When the OP (and commenter I was responding to) says "bad", they're referring to the overall experience of using git submodules. That specifically does not include the minor fixes/improvements you'd find in a changelog.

By your definition, all software is "bad" because all software has defects in varying degrees. That of course makes the entire conversation pointless and pedantic.

Git submodules work just fine when they're used properly. I've been using them for years without issue and so have many other commenters here. Are there things we (the users of git submodules) would like to see improved? Of course! But that doesn't violate the statement that there is "nothing bad" about submodules in the context of this discussion.

I really hope this helps you navigate conversations with a little more nuance. If not, that's okay too. Have a nice weekend.
The clickbait title, the horrible treatment of a downtrodden woman without family, the hard-hearted manager that just wants to kick her when she's down. Oh the outrage!

Yeah this is so obviously fake. But it worked, and people clicked.

Cynicism is the new normal. Anything else, and you're the sucker.
Good point.

To clarify the M1 Macs, not Pro, Max, or Ultra can only support one external display. This also seems to be the case with the non-Pro/Max/Ultra M2 macs.
That only works if all "input parameters" involved in the transaction are verifyably on chain. If I'm buying a physical good with crypto there's no way you can write a smart contract that verifies I did indeed get the good I paid for. Oracles don't count because that's just kicking the can to a different level (how do I dispute the oracle saying something happened that didn't).
I'm interested in re-evaluating this policy once we get a bit further along in the project. It could work nicely given that we have OS version min/max as part of the target, available to inspect with conditional compilation. We get a lot of requests to support Windows all the way back to XP too, despite Microsoft's long-expired support.

All this scope creep takes development efforts away from reaching 1.0 however. If we had more labor, then we could potentially take on more scope. And if we had more money then we could hire more labor.

So if y'all want Zig to support a wider OS version range, we need some more funding.
Diablo Immortal doesn't publish drop rates, and uses a legal loophole to avoid laws that would normally require publishing such rates for lootbox-like mechanics.

A community-created estimate from data supplied by players puts the 5/5 gem odds at 1/2000.

Edit: above poster has rates in their copy of the game that seem to line up with the community-calculated ones. They definitely didn't use to be there where I live in the US, so those are either a recent addition or region-locked.
Poked my head in at the code

const gem_types = [1, 2, 5];

const gem_probabilities = [0.754, 0.201, 0.045];

const five_star_gem_types = [2, 3, 4, 5]

const five_star_probabilities = [0.75, 0.2, 0.04, 0.01];

Kind of odd they excluded three and four, and everything I could find searching online says that it should be `0.05` for a five star, so it doesn't look exactly right to me.

EDIT: After more searching, it looks like these are community guesses at numbers, Blizzard has not published official drop rates.

To your last parenthetical, organicism a la Hegel mends the blind spots once again!
First: UX is not visual design and visual design is not UX. Industry tends to blur them ("oh this person does Photoshop so we'll make them in charge of UX"). If you want to learn design, I'm less sure of what to recommend outside of "read a lot about Dieter Rams".

For UX, read Nielsen Norman and Dr. Weinschenks book "100 things every designer needs to know about humans".
I'm personally holding out some hope that it'll eventually live up to its marketing claims - which means that I'm interested in seeing whether or not it has progressed in that direction in the last 3 years.
I remember an old Blizzard ad for StarCraft II that made fun of pay to win [1] but alas… here we are.

I can’t believe how good the Diablo 4 release vids looked last week but they’ve been incredibly tainted in my mind by all the shitty stories I’ve been reading about Immortal.

Bums me out as Blizzard IP always has a special place in my heart.

I guess 80% efficiency for a few days a year is OK. In The Midwest we can go below zero Fahrenheit for a month or more at a time and while I happily live with 80-90% furnace efficiency with natural gas as a fuel, I certainly would never want to do that with electricity as a power source (given the historic price difference between the two).
How does one do simulation without synchrony and some kind of global clock? Actors and message passing aren't sufficient; at the very least one needs causal ordering, and even that won't be enough, I suspect.
Those languages don't have null safety, but plenty of languages do. Rust, Kotlin, Swift, Haskell, etc.

The claim is true: a type system _can_ prevent null-related issues and eliminate the need to account for them in tests. That's not the same as saying every type system does.
VPC Endpoints are not free, and if you use enough different AWS services, the cost starts to really go up.
Sustained interest does not solve issues of understanding how to properly structure paragraphs and larger portions of writing. It's not going to cause someone to follow Strunk & White's style suggestions when the person could not do so otherwise. I don't see how it could solve many other things I mentioned. I have first hand experience reading such work: 10% is outright bad, 20% merely poor, 50% okay but with some of the problems I mentioned, 15% good, 5% very good to excellent. (Rough approximations.) Further, writers in the okay -> excellent range can frequently perform at their same level on new topics or writing prompts. Interest is at best a minor factor.

Separately, the ability for skilled writers to employ problematic methids I mentioned deliberately and to good effect is not relevant to my original comment. I am not talking about excellent writers who can write fantastic work while subverting traditional writing style and the soft rules of grammar. I'm think that sort of writer would be correctly identified as human at least a little more often than others. I am specifically talking about the large number of people who can't do this.

Interest simply cannot overcome lack of basic knowledge on how write properly. No more than a strong interest in chemistry will overcome lack of engineering experience when building infrastructure for large scale chemical transport. Writing is a separate skill from knowledge on the topic about which the writer is writing. Chemical engineering is a separate skill from knowledge about chemistry itself. Strong interest can only take a person so far when it intersects with an endeavor that requires unrelated skills.

Interest may elevate someone's writing from okay or good to better but it cannot replace skills the writer doesn't have.
You can get fined and kicked off the payment network if your business has an excessive number of chargebacks. The chargebacks measurement is the number of chargebacks, not the amount of dollars chargedback.

These fines can be greater than $100,000 USD. Being kicked off a network such as Visa or MasterCard would be even worse.
I don't think anyone hates him as a person. He's a Mr. Rogers-level humanitarian.
This was my exact reaction. I have to conclude this is a troll - I still think so based on the wording and such.

My counter-example, however, was a grocery store I worked in in college where the manager wouldn't give the weekend off to one of the hardest-working, friendly shelf-stockers to attend his father's funeral. I was there. It really happened. He quit on the spot. I was right next them in this interaction. It was so enraging I wanted to quit out of moral-support, but I did not.

This sort of interaction is absolutely unfathomable in my current professional environment. Whenever I feel injustice, or underappreciated, I frequently remind myself of those times to appreciate what I have today.
As a Haskell programmer, this argument does not resonate with me. I find most dynamically typed languages (e.g., JavaScript) verbose compared to what I'm used to. Of course, plenty of statically typed languages are verbose too. But static typing is not a sufficient condition for a language to be verbose.

I associate verbosity with object-oriented programming, whether statically typed or not.
Does it not have paid tiers too though? Like Actions (which you suggested as free) also increases as you need more minutes.

(On the other side, Docker Hub is I think a lot more if not completely free if the underlying repo is public? I know I have a few low use ones and don't pay a penny, anyway.)

I suppose my point really is just why suggest paying for image storage intially/before CI, they can both be free.

I dont get the shit k8s gets. Especially on managed offerings like Aks or fargate, they're very easy to deploy, having several environments is easy, maintainance is straight forward.

As a generic rule I'm against using complex tech where there's no need, but I feel like we're way past that on k8s.

This applies to almost every job. You need soft skills to be successful.
And they designed it with channels to egress a water spill into the keyboard past critical components, thus providing a very reasonable chance of laptop survival.

Unlike Apple who put the high power display powerline immediately next to the CPU one. One drop, and the CPU is gone. (IIRC from Rossman's repair videos).
I don't use AWS for a damn thing because of exorbitant costs. I just don't get why people think that it's necessary other than that they're the types to get drawn into marketing hype.

There's just so many better things for your company to be spending the money on.
A minor caveat: some regions have large hydroelectric generation, which doubles as a great energy storage site. Countries seem to be able to manage a roughly 1:1 ratio between intermittent sources and hydroelectric generation. Sweden is managing to decarbonize it's grid with ~1/3rd each of nuclear, intermittent sources, and hydroelectric.

But for much of the world what doesn't have this option, nuclear remains the most viable energy source.
As someone with two masters and currently sitting ABD on my PhD….I can fully relate, the PhD process (and much of grad student life) is a scam.
Interesting. So 50% Unix and 48% Windows (and 3% are targeting Unix anyway). That's quite a swing over the past 20 years - there was a time where aside the occasional web developer with a Mac, everyone was on Windows. Leaving out Linux, the interesting part has been how much market that Apple has chiseled away.
If Jupiter starts going significantly downwards by the time when it'll be just a fem million years until Sun goes supernova, we (whoever that will be) will have to hurry and flee anyway. It it involves crashing Jupiter into the Sun, and likely wreaking complete havoc in the inner planets' orbits, so be it; the system will become unusable anyway.

But until starfaring is developed enough, we should be careful with any gigaton-scale spacecraft doing gravity assists!
Can you acquire 5-star gems by other means?
I’ve been part of over 5 501(c)3 and 501(c)6 startups and unless something drastic has changed in the last few years since COVID, it is not that expensive (well under 1k). Consult with someone who does nonprofit creation and they will let you know what 501(c)X that the effort would best be described as and absolutely shouldn’t break the bank.
What is an item in the second declaration? That it has type "Item" doesn't help you unless you have contextual information. And if you have contextual information you can probably figure out what an item is in the first declaration too.

Criminy, aren't they doing great? I finally found a way to buy some shares of SpaceX. I don't even care if that investment does badly, I just want to share in a tiny bit of SpaceX.

?? On the scale of things that terrify me, SpaceX doesn't move the needle.
Oh yeah I love simply avoiding memory allocation at all costs and keeping things to the processor cache and streaming APIs. awk/sed is fantastic for this if you're just working with CSV data, but I've done it in my own custom code processing hundreds of gigabytes of JSON in seconds as well.

I think data scientists just aren't really hugely concerned with programming optimizations or bottlnecks or whatever. Most of them are just intermediate-level python programmers, and that's completely fine until they think they need a hadoop cluster for whatever they're doing and the costs start piling up.
> The article says 500K people work in tech.

No, it doesn't.
On the flip side, they're doing away with loot boxes in Overwatch 2 and replacing it with a battlepass and straight-forward shop[1]. Plenty of opportunity to screw that up, of course, but at least it'll be easier to see than having to dive into drop rate algorithms and best guesses at such.

Musk was re using ships from Iain Banks’ Culture series where ships are sentient.

Voice Of The Whirlwind is from The Expanse series, where a human colony finds ancient aliens tech and builds a class of warship called the Magnetar-class shops. They use an intense magnetic weapon to literally dissociate an Earth station as a show of force.
It's futile to ask for things to be removed from the lexicon. Language advances and those 16-year-olds will decide how they speak now and in the future.

I think this is already outdated but a fitting response to your comment could also be "ok boomer"
Cursive was still taught when I was in school. With ball point pens.

This was the case for many years after dip pens were retired.

They stopped teaching cursive handwriting. Full stop.
This may be true in much of the USA, but I know from experience that it's not true in California and Texas, the two most populous states. It's still required in Texas, and many California schools continue to teach it, even though it hasn't been required statewide since the early 2010s.

When I was in California public school in the 1990s, cursive was taught in elementary school. We spent a lot of time practicing it, far more than it deserved, even if you believed it was important, and many of the teachers were quite strict about it. In junior high, teachers still required in-class assignments to be written in cursive, claiming everything we wrote in high school would need to be in cursive. (Luckily, this wasn't true. I even had a few high school teachers who mandated a no cursive policy.)
Carter the President was terrible. Carter the Man, however, is admirable and one of my favorite people. Yes, both can be simultaneously true.
Nothing in Unicode prevents rendering Western languages in cursive. It's just that nobody wants to do the intensive work to generate the layouts and manage the required fonts as was done with Harfbuzz.
Since the debate on D:I's MTX has burnt out a bit, the Legendary Gem MTX scheme of Diablo Immortal is arguably not the biggest threat to the game's longevity. There are more substantial systemic issues with gameplay once you finish the story, such as the requirement for grouping in Hell 1+ dungeons (required for Set pieces) and invisible caps on drops that can be hit in just casual play.

Even though new gameplay mechanics open up by the time you hit 60, by the time you've hit Paragon ~15 you've probably seen everything and gameplay starts to get more repetitive with gear upgrades under multiple layers of RNG. Note that paying real money for Legendary Gems doesn't alleviate this grind except for faster clear.

And they have been unusually stingy with player rewards for milestones/daily logins compared to other F2P games, which isn't a good sign on relenting on some of these decisions. I am very curious to see how retention will be if nothing substantial changes.
