I remember a business that had a branch office in another state. The CEO thought he'd be a good guy and told them that the office would be closed in 3 months after the Christmas vacation and they'd all be laid off then.

The employees stopped working and looted everything in the building. Reportedly, trucks backed up to the loading dock where everything was carried off.

They all got their paychecks, but they hadn't done any work in the 3 months and the building was picked clean.
I have no problem with sqlite, in fact I really like it but that seems like it could be quite a hefty "one-liner".
What if missiles all launched their own missiles, and went infinitely fast
ContextVars are seemingly more robust and work with async. We use them quite extensively for adding context to logs.
I am working on weekends occassionally on a side project of mine, a real-time version of board game Baghchal (http://baghchal.net). The stack is Node.js/MongoDB.

I have identified couple issues that I'd love to work on at https://github.com/bhu1st/baghchal.net/issues but I lack time/resources.

Many thanks in advance for any technical help/support/collaboration. Please DM me.
I believe Most people, including the groups being pandered to by the corporation, would choose a productive and happy environment that doesn’t do performative virtue signaling - over a toxic and hostile company that pretends to “care” about social justice.
Now if only people could turn up the heat so that Meta/Facebook would quit...
Transloadit | REMOTE | JavaScript/TypeScript Developer | Freelance

React, Hooks, Node.js, TypeScript, SWR. Are these right up your alley? Transloadit is hiring a developer to work on our website (mostly front-end work, some back-end tinkering may not be ruled out). Remote, freelance, 32h+/week, $50/h. You'll be part of a highly skilled team and have plenty opportunity to work on our open source projects as well (uppy.io, tus.io). We're thin on process and management, it's mostly github issues & slack. That may not work for all, but well for some, so worth mentioning. We have an open, friendly & curious culture.

If you are interested please DM a tweet-sized motivation and any relevant links to @kvz
Double crux can work in that case, if someone is operating in good faith. Not all values are sacred values that someone won't brook discussion of. I've had values-difference discussions on programming language design that went productively.
> considering it’s targeted towards DOS users

I don't see the connection. Is this a reference to something from the 80s?
Perhaps I'm stupid, but I thought they were differentiated from classic missiles by actively diverging from a birds eye path at random during flight. Do ICBMs already do this?
Is it an effective strategy at all? I can imagine that turning up the heat without any benefits is just as likely to chase the most talented people away.
That’s fair.

A touch indelicate, but fair.
The file, but not the image. Also easily removable, although companies have been clearly encouraged to make this difficult in mainstream software and to set maximal defaults. Probably doesn't take much encouragement, because the more metadata, the more automagic.
The efficiency downside doesn't even appear to be a downside. We already have solar excess power when we don't need it. If you can store that power and store it cheap, 80 percent efficiency is better than zero.

I hope these pan out. We need something to happen ASAP.
I was discussing trademarks and domains with somebody today and tried to show them my favorite long-standing trademark dispute nissan.com but it appears all of the website content has been taken down in May 2022.

Here's one of the last standing copies:

I don't know why you're framing that like a bad thing. I'd love if it became an industry standard. Even if no one decides to maintain it, at least there's an option, rather than taking the software to the grave.
Solely Julian Assange's case would demonstrate the disparity. In the Angloamerican countries - including the US - there's all that talk of freedom as long as you don't actually make use of it. If you use it in a way that threatens the incumbent interests, the results are much worse than some minor jail time.

Occupy protesters were kicked on the ground, hauled to courts and hooked up with tens of thousands of dollars of fines for 'trespassing' on !public! property. Effectively bankrupting many, and discouraging protest for good. Since the state did not persecute them for their speech, but for 'trespassing', all is still 'democratic' in the legalese. Even if its not in practice.

Deng Xiaoping famously told Thatcher that China could take Hong Kong in a day when Thatcher tried to work out how the UK can hang onto HK island (HK island was signed over to the UK in perpetuity while other parts of HK was a 99 years lease, IIRC). I think Thatcher did make the most of a weak hand. HK is definitely better off in a peaceful hand over than China taking it by force. I think a lot of us former Hong Kongers wished the autonomy had endured at least for the 50 years that was promised but we also knew there was no force behind that promise.
are lawns really such a problem? I see an ecosystem next to my front door as a risk. Lawns are easily managed, they provide line of sight across my property to the street, it's hard for wild animals to nest next to where i, and my future children, need to walk every day. I really dont see it as a problem.

on the flipside, the greater back half of my yard not near the house i encourage to be an ecosystem. If everyone on the block did so, then the entire middle of the block would be a continuous piece of nature. Front lawns create scattered pockets of nature at best and seem to cause a lot of friction.

I think of the Geese all around the industrial park near me, and how going into and out of your office on the sidewalk can become a problem if theres a mother goose around who thinks youre threatening her family
Because that's what culture is and has always been and everything is fine. Nobody is living on eggshells just because words can change meanings and associations over time. To a well adjusted person, it's a non-issue.
You're probably right; vim macros are almost the entire reason I personally prefer vim to vi, I can't imagine not using them.
Right, and the debt mountain occurred in part because the government was irresponsible when they made student debt extremely hard to discharge, compared to other sort of government debts.

Since the government was also responsible for the mountain, they also need to be part of the solution. Which can include forgiving debt.

I don't think economics have anything measurable to do with this.

I've seen entitled rants from gamers yelling at the developer while also publicly admitting that they pirated the game.

People pay money for clothes and food too and you don't see them posting thirty-minute screeds on YouTube about how they don't like the pattern of this shirt they just got.

There is a lot of human pathogens that I would like to see eliminated, but we have successfuly eliminated just smallpox and are on the verge of eliminating polio and dracunculosis, with the final success still eluding us. That is a rather modest success list for a technically and scientifically highly developed global civilization.

I am fairly skeptical against the idea that Covid, with its enormous ability to spread, is going to be eliminated in our lifetimes. There is a lot of coronaviruses out there and they seem to be fairly resilient.

Locking cities of the size of Shanghai down has serious downsides too, and, in public health, everything is a trade-off.
I'm mostly playing devil's advocate. dvt asked a question, and andyjohnson0 deflected by arguing about a sentence fragment.

What's the layoff policy in Japan? I would say it used to be 'never' and that hasn't been the case for some time, but a lot of the innovation ramp for them occurred before the 90's recession that started breaking the social contracts, so that isn't really a point in dvt's favor.

Culture definitely plays a role here, as does need (see also the Netherlands who send consultants worldwide to talk about water management). People like to talk about how different Scandinavian culture is from American culture, but from what I know of Japanese culture, it's at least as far away from say Norway as Norway is away from America. So if dvt thinks that Europe is missing some secret sauce and not just American Exceptionalism, I would say that Japan has substituted a different sauce to good effect.
The key for this to work is that you need to give everybody big raises so the best want to stay when the heat gets tough (like sterotypical ibanking)
Yeah, "we hired people we shouldn't have so now we're going to make it increasingly unpleasant to work here" doesn't work.

First-hand, what I've seen happen is that your most talented people, who are the most in demand, leave the organization quite quickly because they correctly realize they don't have to put up with this bullshit. It's the coasters who fear they'll never land an equally cushy job who attempt to ride out the heat as long as they can.
The kind I’ve seen is in olive oil. There’s no rinsing and drying. You just scoop it into the pan.
Psychology/therapy may be a bit of an outlier in that sense, we wouldn't expect a nuclear engineer to have physically inspected a failed reactor before talking about accidents. And even they may have relevant things to say, psychology/therapy isn't only about individual diagnosis.
So I was wondering, does this mean Meta will have to hire people who are 10x more productive and Get Things Done at a faster, more reliable pace? If there are people like that who yield better results consistently, how do they manage burnout? Are they treated as the mythical 'rock-star engineer' who other companies like to poach and clamor for?

10x output is so rare in this industry, and having 10 employees that match the output of one person is seen as silly, but there's nothing wrong with hiring 10 people to do something a single person can do. Yeah sure, you have to pay out 10x more salary, but since mythical rock-star developers are in such short supply and regularly poached, I don't see a reason for clamoring for them IMHO.
I'm not sure they are the majority opinion but I agree they are common. It's not surprising given the number of CEOs and venture capitalists on the site.
I am in the UK and had quite a number of Canadian companies looking to recruit recently. Interesting.
What on earth can make a person as successful as Zuckerberg be so fucking clueless? Obviously the first people to leave when heat turns up are the best ones, as they are the ones who have the most opportunities and courage. I have seen this a dozen times and this happens almost mechanically.

I knew success was mostly about luck, but things like this make it seem like it’s 100% about luck.

If it did happen, it'd probably be the worst war we've seen, full stop.

The US is still giving out Purple Hearts medals meant for the land invasion of Japan, which was expected to be horrific in terms of casualties due to the terrain. In this context, the US actually investigated and totally gave up on the idea of a land invasion of Taiwan, because the geography is so much worse; there are very few flat beaches from which to do an amphibious D-day style landing, and all of them are a few km away from mountains from which to rain down artillery.
Selective reporting of the truth is the best propaganda.
In my experience s/less/more/ .

I was homeschooled for several years, and have known a variety of other homeschooled people.

For me personally, I was impacted in my ability to socialize with people in my own group, and did not develop any rebellious tendencies until I re-entered public school and realized there were other options.

For some homeschooled people I know, they can't read at above a first grade level.

Others can read/write at a higher than average level, may be average or better at math, and have little capability to interact with others.

Still others are some of the smartest, most well rounded people I know.

Unfortunately, most homeschooled people in my experience sit somewhere between the first and second groups - which then means that gatherings of home-schooled families will also tend that direction.
Might be comparing different metrics. If it's lifetime costs you have to cover replacement timelines for lithium degradation, facilities, and so on.

Lots of electronics involved when you have banks of thousands of batteries
Citation needed. alternative strategies would include:

Rewarding good employees and firing bad ones.

Deciding on actual useful performance metrics ahead of time and measuring people against them.
> Sue the person who uploaded the video, as it happens with all the malicious activities with the real world.

A corpse is discovered in a garage with charred stumps where the hands should be. Investigators look through that person's browser history and find they watched a few hundred wood burning videos. What now, hundreds of lawsuits? Who would pay for that?
$5k also doesn't sound like a whole lot of money to give a guarantee about the security of your FOSS code. Unless I were already rather confident about it, it would take work for me to convince myself about it to the extent that I would be willing to answer a hundred questions on someone else's form. $5k isn't necessarily that much of a compensation for that kind of work, unless you're also gaining something from the work itself (e.g. from reviewing the security of your code for its own sake).

I don't know if filling and returning these kinds of forms can have any kinds of legal implications, but if it did, even potentially, there's no way I'd do that for $5k unless I were in absolutely dire need of that money.
Simple: it's time to stop using phone numbers.

I use Apple's Messages. If someone spams me, I report them. They're blocked and have to go through the extra work of setting up a new account to try again.

Compare this with, say, Google. Gmail lets spammers / scammers have limitless accounts and they don't do shit when an account is reported for spam. You can block and report Gmail spammers all day long and you'll get nowhere.

WhatsApp apparently still uses phone numbers, and they're owned by a company that wants engagement at ANY price. Are any of us really so dumb that we think they're going to do the right thing?
She also thought by closing out heavy industry she could break the unions. And then companies would open new factories in Britain out competing Europe on labor costs.

One out of two ain't so bad. /s
This isn't strictly true, Zuckerberg has to act in the interests of the minority shareholders as well. He can't take a deal that helps himself while hurting all other shareholders.

Getting involved in button padding issues isn't one of those cases though. He can spend all the time in the world on that if he likes.
Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly.

Memo to Nissan Motor Company: it was because of this act of lawfare that I personally renounced ever buying a Nissan again (even though the Altima and Maxima were excellent cars). You deserve to be punished for your actions. I regret that refusing to give you my business isn't worth more.

I'm still a bit fresh in my career and in between jobs at the moment due to layoffs. Can't give you a fancy description or introduction as it's like everyone else's: we're developers and we do what we do best. Otherwise I'm more specialized in backend work with 12 years of experience of Java (including small side projects and high school classes). Looking for a permanent position.

There are valid complaints in the grandparent, but if you can’t figure out how to fork output to stdout, stderr and file in six months, that’s really on you. You should know how to register multiple handlers if you spent five minutes reading the documentation.
Exactly this. The fact that NT is leased land (vs ceded colony) makes a big difference
hasn't meta been hiring like crazy?
> You think subscriber agreements will permit using it as the uplink for a local ISP?

I think in the richer countries those will be special agreements, but in many places it will just be done and SpaceX will likely not spend much resources to prevent it.

> lofting new satellites, what, 4000/y? 6000/y? as those age out.

Yes, but their cost curves of all the major pieces of the puzzle get cheaper with each generation as volume goes up. Starship will make a huge difference, ground antennas will go closer and closer to being consumer electronics and they are working on sat mass manufacture.
I had the exact same scenario in my previous company. I wonder if some execs imagine that the employees are cattle that you're supposed to calm down before the execution.

I have had the good fortune to spend the last couple of years working at the ground level of a startup. Starting from the bottom and working my way up to a Director level position, I was able to get a unique view from being part of the decisions and mistakes a company makes as it goes from being on the brink of bankruptcy to growth on a global scale.

My initiatives to continuously automate as much work as possible allowed the company to expand at an exponential rate while not increasing headcount. The extra capital this saved us allowed us to easily handle industry-wide downturns without having to cut any of the workforce or pull back on any projects.
Who said it was just that person? The harassment is still continuing on this thread and has happened on other threads and posts where V is posted.
Absolutely, employees leave bad managers, they seldom want to leave the employer itself – Or at least this was my personal experience, always on the run from dead woods.
That's irrelevant when discussing ownership. He owns 17% of Meta. That he retains control of 90% of Meta doesn't mean that he has the moral right to ignore his responsibilities to his co-owners.

Every single Meta employee I know is only there for the money, and for the ability to put Facebook/Meta on their resume for the next job. Nobody is really interested in the product, though all but one of them like the working conditions and how they treat [engineers] there. Anecdotal, obviously.
