>> Much of this is due to the reversal of the tight hiring market.

No idea where you are, but I'm not seeing any reversal at my job or in positions listed...

Personally, I think the layoffs are due to tech companies not hitting profit numbers the investors expected. Just like the PC market, seems people expected Amazon, FB, Netflix, etc to keep growing at 20+% yoy.
With free to play being a huge gaming business model, not only do you not own games because they are more of a SaaS product, but most people don't even pay to be a "customer"

I haven't "owned" a game in like 10 years since I stopped buying CDs/physical media. All my games are digital, and I don't think you can really "own" software.
I think it’s materially different though. Particularly when you contrast with the FB graph API and the Cambridge Analytica scandal where they were actually giving out the raw data.

There is a LOT more you can do with the raw data than with ads targeted on specific categories.

Like, I personally am never going to click the cat ad in the example above, but I very well could have had all my info leaked by a neighbor in my friend graph in the CA dump. So your ad-harvested data will always be sparse.
As views. Relational databases have supported storing queries for a long time. If you need to have parameters for queries use stored procedures. You can keep the source code for views and procedures in text files in a git repository like any other source code.
> I think “real” is a bit of a problem there because if vegan cheese is real it means it’s really vegan.

"Real vegan cheese" should not be a problem as long as you're selling a real product. The problems would begin if you were selling real cheese as "Really vegan cheese".
I think the real story was that China would take Hong Kong by force if there was no agreement, and by agreeing to a peaceful transfer Thatcher could make the transition more civilized.

Looking back, I think it worked quite well for as long as it did.
In the USA you can't out save the housing market unless your making 10x+ the median salary. A lesson I've repeatedly learned. I worked for a number of bootstrapped startups, and purchased houses far under what I could have borrowed based on my salary because I always wanted to have a good solid year+ of runway should I face an unexpected layoff during a downturn.

That has turned out to be some of the worst financial decisions I ever made. While my contemporaries were buying house for 4-5x+ their salary and over time those houses doubled, tripped in value, my house also doubled and tripped in value, but now the difference between the houses I could have purchased and the ones I did, are now in the millions of dollars (aka I have to find 2+ million to upgrade to a house only slightly better than the one I own). Meaning if I want to move up in the housing market to a house I could have purchased a couple years back for just a slightly higher percentage of my income is basically out of reach.

So a lot of people complain about what it takes to get their foot in the door, but the spread between houses has massively widened as well. Just 10 years ago 1.5 million would have gotten a house in the top couple percent, now that number is probably closer to 7-9 million. So even if your salary doubled or tripped, unless you purchased at the max of your previous salary its like starting all over in the housing market.

(and just to make this post longer, this is largely the result of interest free money, a few years back I realized that steady state interest one pays should always be just slightly higher than inflation. Anytime the inflation != interest rates happens it throws things out of wack. AKA while people are complaining about the current rates, if inflation is 8-9% the fed should have immediately reacted with 7-8% rates, which would have massively hammered the system, but apparently no one at us fed/etc has really studied control systems enough to understand that adjusting rates every couple months will never result in a stable system, especially if they fail to react to changes strongly. Their current strategy entirely assumes that inflation/etc slowly rises or falls.).
Yeah, because we all know if you wait a little bit, the horse will develop into a fully-fledged human beings.
"People who consume games" and "Gamers" are not necessarily the same group though? Just as the two groups of "people who have read a book" and "people who consider themselves A Reader of Books" both exist. The fact that there is a broader category doesn't make the narrower one useless.

From my personal experiences absolutely there is a group of people you could reasonably call "Gamers" and performing dramatic consumer entitlement is definitely part of their culture!
Just so you know, based on this little story of yours, I would instantly want to hire you. Great attitude.
Well given that there are fundraisers in his name for sarcoma research, and the symptoms and treatment he discussed in his videos are typical for osteosarcoma, I thought it would help to post a comment about the current state of osteosarcoma treatment.
FWIW, my view is that even the best programmers don't always have perfect non-programming skills and it is better to give them specific objective feedback via bug reports/technical comments etc and not focus on how they are not doing the expected thing or behaving in an expected manner. Focus on and encourage their good work if possible.
Are you really saying that telling clueless people that they will get painful shocks encourages bad safety habits?

If you show a kid a video about someone intentionally putting e.g. a fake hand on a stove and it getting severe burns and faked screams, what's the likelihood of a child following the video to get the same sick burns vs a video showing that it is perfectly safe to touch the stove?
> Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here

If a company has both

1) A lot of dead wood

2) No better strategy to deal with it than 'turning up the heat'

Then this suggests a profound failure of management and leadership. I'd start cutting the dead wood there.
Maybe not for 400 slices an hour but Dualit toasters are stainless and pretty standard issue at cafes and bed and breakfasts in the UK.
Last time i was in Paris there were (what looked like) armed military on patrol through a park with long rifles. There was an major event in the country at the time but nothing going on in park that day. I'm not sure the military would ever fulfill that role in America outside of a federal or state declared emergency (maybe I'm wrong there). But in general, that's a role the police would be required to fulfill. You can setup a different kind of police force if you're willing to call in the military to patrol your own citizens on a regular basis.

I've been curious if this is something that's typical in Europe/France? Or maybe they weren't military but national police force. Personally I'd rather have armed police officers that, in theory, live in the area than having national security that could literally be flying in from 1000's of miles away.
It didn't have to copy everything down to the camelCase if it was just an implementation of the xUnit pattern with no Java influence.
Some companies, before being acquired, go on a hiring spree. I guess they do it to bump up the price.

Then, when the deal is closed, there's usually a reorg involving massive layoffs, where the most affected people are usually the people that just got hired.
Not at the moment, but I'm looking into ways to add it. Just appending the language to the query works well for SO posts, less so for the GH functions.
I've seen this in the past, though it hasn't bitten me...
I'm really against 'pre-emptive' hiring for this reason. Its not fair to mess with people's livings just because you promised something in a contract that you can't currently fulfill.

I think the 2 tweets above make a good case for an elimination strategy. Permanently circulating Covid means ever-increasing rates of long Covid, disability, unpredictably-disrupted large events (how can you plan anything a few months in advance with Covid still circulating?). And keep in mind that Covid isn't just for the old, the magnitude of risk increase is equal (proportional) for every age group; and that reinfections have worse outcomes (discredits "live with it").

The "live with Covid" strategy was never good, is still not good, will likely never be good, yet Western countries have burned down their political capital so much that if they ever try zero-Covid, they'd face civil unrest. Not a good situation they've built for themselves.
This title seems to imply that the recession will help vacation rental owners. That's obviously ridiculous and not going to happen.

But the actual article title is: "WHY A RECESSION WOULD BE A BOOM FOR VACATION RENTAL SUPPLY" and that is obviously true.

Can't figure out if this is clickbait or not...
Downvotes hurt the feelings and egos of enough people with the power/leverage to get it changed. Particularly: politicians, corporations, and youtube executives themselves (e.g. Youtube's Rewind videos getting trashed with mass downvotes.)
Entirely off-topic, but this resonates so much for me - I think I went entirely off computer games for about three years, peaking around the age of 18. I left the world of the Amiga and then later got a PC for Uni and slipped into an entirely different gaming world, running at 5x the clockspeed. On school holidays I'd come back to an ever-failing disk collection, to the point I only had a shareware game called Galaxy Wars (I think?) and an install of SimAnt (on a 20Mb HD, lol), by which point it was clear that the Amiga was truly dead in the water!

If there's one thing I'm looking forward to with this new MI, it's the updated theme tune, which sounds glorious. It WILL be my ringtone again!
The New York Post is a tabloid rag. Are there any legitimate sources for this quote?
Yes, different variations of that also happened throughout much of South and Central America. They installed capitalist dictatorships to open the countries' markets to US products and establish capitalism, then (in many cases, though obviously not in Iran) pressured those dictatorships to cede power to democracy. I don't think capitalism alone would have destabilized dictatorship as a form of government.
I highly recommend you meet one or two folks with experience who can review your take-home stuff before you submit it. I know my job search would have likely gone smoother if I had some feedback. Things like: where things go, how things should be named/structured, what is conventional in the language/framework you're working in etc. are key for take-home assignments.
Insurance is hedging risk. The goal is not to make a profit; the goal is to cut your losses.

You don't "win" by dying young and getting an insurance payout. You just lose less than you would without the insurance.

If it's a bet, it's a bet you hope to lose. But in a large pool of people, the odds are that one of you will "win". Your descendants recoup the winnings, and the rest of you breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't you.

It's not unreasonable for a company to facilitate that, with a small but reasonable profit. Obviously there is a lot of opportunity for malfeasance and malpractice, simply because there's so much money involved, but the concept itself isn't inherently bad.

Neither is a casino, necessarily, but a casino is offering only entertainment. There is no risk to you if you don't play. But in the case of life insurance (and other forms of insurance), you take that risk every day. If you're sufficiently well-off to self-insure, you shouldn't participate, because its offers no benefit. But it offers a genuine tangible benefit to those who cannot afford the risk and seek a hedge against it.
Seems like you almost wouldn’t even need explosives if you could push that through an aircraft carrier at that speed.

I am not "HN", just one human, one mind (more or less).

Communication is what we are doing here.

When you propagate a message to many people, then it's propaganda.

Once upon a time the word had no negative sense. Then it did, so they changed the job to PR.
> Physical UIs can be more intuitive and usable than screens

A thousand times this.

Not related to guitars, but I do a lot of off-roading and the multimedia system is only controlled by the big screen. In bumpy roads it's a trial and error operation to skip a song. Give me my previous/next physical buttons back.
Yeah, that's a very harsh comment. Nonetheless, there is something to be learnt here:

If anything, the comments of the fans show that this artstyle alienates many of the fans. So, if for example the artstyle would've been showed at the very start of the development, then the developers could've listened to the fans and changed it. But everyone's in a tough spot now because development is nearly finished (game is planned for this year) and it would be too late to change course.

As such, Ron Gilbert can only do one thing: Buckle up, release the game and let it be played by those who are not alienated by the artstyle. Maybe it will charm new fans even more; maybe not. Who knows. However, it certainly is an artstyle that is not "universal". E.g. AAA developers usually refine their main character so much that he appeals more or less universally, they want someone who is liked by everyone. They don't want a main character that is only liked by 50% of the target audience. BUT! This comes with the caveat that these games might be overoptimized for the mainstream and thus being somehow boring. That's why I love what the artists and Ron Gilbert did, even though I am torn on the style myself.

Btw. I myself was even more alienated by the artstyle of Broken Age (so much that I never played it) and that was a game where I even invested money in. However, I never could've thrown words at Tim Schafer. And neither on Ron Gilbert, for that matter.
It's not unfair, but it just puts the critizers in an impossible epistemological landscape, where the main differentiator between the critizers and the critizees is that the critizers simply know far less relevant detail than the critizees.

Is that even an AdWords category?

Can we get more specific on exactly what level of targeting is possible?

I see there is an attack here, but I’m still not exactly clear on the scope. I can’t see them getting very many conversions with a random cat food company. So did they dox 10 people? Or was this something that could actually get a meaningful amount of data?

There are a couple things that make the Hong Kong situation more complicated.

* by 1997 (handover date) Britain lacked a colonial empire from which it could assist in a defense of Hong Kong, and of the overseas posts it did have, the regiments were fairly small. Sending a large military force all the way from Britain itself would take too long in any sort of conflict. Taiwan has always come with the implicit security guarantee of the United States, which maintains a very active presence in the Pacific.

* the PLA has the law of numbers on their side, not only due to part 1 but because of how large their army is in general, and the border between Hong Kong and the rest of China is a fairly small river. The PLA generally lacks the amphibious capacity to do a land invasion of Taiwan.

* the New Territories in Hong Kong, unlike the rest of it, were signed over in a 99 year lease. 1997 was the end of those 99 years. The New Territories are a mountainous area with a good deal of Hong Kong's postwar population and also its major water supplies; without it and bordering a hostile China, Hong Kong would quickly cease to be a functioning city. Holding onto the territories wouldn't last a very long time due to parts 1 and 2, and unlike Taiwan where international law depends on who you think China is, the UK would clearly be in the wrong by violating the 99 year lease unilaterally.
Thank you for writing this proof of concept paper. Do you think CMU is a school that enhanced your ability to do projects like this, or did you know how to do this before you went to CMU or did you learn crucial stuff to accomplish it there ?

I studied at Rice University under Ken Kennedy and it was a great place to learn about compilation techniques and processes. Corky Cartwright was also instrumental in learning about abstract datatypes especially in the Strachey-Scott formal views.
Of course I see a problem. Transparency should always be a top priority. My intention was not to disagree with you, just to provide a different lens to view this. After all, are most American consumers aware of the conditions in which the animals they eat are raised (what they are fed, how they are treated, what types of drugs they are given, how long they live, general quality of life, etc…)? I believe this is just as important as what gets printed on a label.
What political freedom have markets provides the west except in the form of wishful thinking?

The US is getting more fascist in observable ways. Suspension habeas corpus in GWs time, pepper spraying college students in 2008 for a seated protest in Cali, to no abortion rights, and the political snowflakes in both parties calling for each other’s heads, kids in cages and yet everyone tucks their chin and goes on, inequality and taxation without holistic demographic representation; SCOTUS Justices openly demanding the public just accept things it does not like.

Keep complaining about Russia and China, USians. Virtue signaling while actually operating as moral relativists is creating the culture you talk to be against in your own backyard.

The experience in de-communisting Russia was also a key reason why China chose to liberalize only their economy, while keeping a firm one party grip on political power.
The standard explanation is that those are aimed at ordinary consumers who wish to reduce their meat consumption but can't unless they taste something that tastes like meat (resp. dairy).
When it comes to scraped data it's usually even simpler: the scrapers got the email address from the website which lists their email address as the tech/marketing/sales/hr contact for their company, which is out there because sometimes people need to approach them with things which are legitimately relevant and of interest

Always mildly amusing when you get a pitch which refers to your website by someone that obviously hasn't visited it though...
Anyone who is an active developer of a Unity-based game knows there are a lot of struggles happening within that company right now, many of them technical and many of them related to poor project management. It's reflected in their product, and it's not even a close call. (See their recent efforts around ECS and their new rendering pipelines.)
