More specifically: if you don't want to recursively iterate a tree, you have to hold a list of prior nodes to return to anyway... which is no different from weaving that information into the stack. Non-recursive iteration in this case literally requires you to emulate the recursion.

I was there.

Nothing destroyed. Just differences in company culture.

The alternative for Sun was IBM to buy them. An acquisition by IBM would have been the death of Sun. Sun, under Oracle, still lives on well today.
Your wording is very odd, but if I understand correctly the company announced it would be putting 10% of employee's on an improvement plan, with your belief the goal being termination, and they offered buy out options of employees would voluntary separate?

If so, then that is not a layoff, and it often a common practice to avoid layoff, people already on the fence, close to retirement, etc will take the buyout.

I fail see what the issue is here....

It doesn’t seem like the author has any hard data that supports his claim that long term LTV and K-factor losses outweigh short term conversion rate wins. Maybe I missed it? Without said evidence, it’s probably safe to assume his generalized claim is wrong in most cases.

Selective enforcement is one of the principal ways that workers experience discrimination in the workplace. Remember that Amazon doesn’t fire people for unionization, or because they are black or transgendered. They fire them for disciplinary reasons that are completely “normal” and “typical” as under-performers. This kind of system of “feedback” is a weapon and it is absolutely used to that affect in every place where it is implemented to the degree that Amazon does.

Can we please stop be apologists to giant profit-driven organizations and start maybe… just maybe… empathizing with people instead?

> I can see why a car manufacturer would not want to make two versions of each car, one with heated seats and one without.

In the past this is just how "luxury" options trickled down into standard options. If it's more economical to just produce all cars with the option then it should just be an optimization passed on to the consumer.

I find this pretty surprising in the luxury car market. A lot of features that are standard on base model non-luxury cars are options on luxury cars.

Anyway, this subscription model raises other questions. For example, if I'm paying for the subscription and the seat heater breaks, who is responsible for the repair? Am I paying for a subscription (i.e. lease) of the hardware, or is it just a software subscription?
+ Seat heaters are heavy. You drive them around all year long, they will show up on your fuel bill one way or another.
Two main problems:

1. state/stages can't be used together; since plugins may use states (and even baisc funcionality, like the fixed frame step), you can't use stages

2. in order to flush commands, you need stages, but you can't use them due to 1.

The result is that with Bevy itself, writes (commands) become effective only at the end of each frame. There is a plugin written by a 3rd party, but the Bevy developers are treating this as very low priority (it's been open for a very long time, and it's not even scheduled for the next release). Paradoxically, it matters little because there's a lot of hype about Bevy, but there are little (or none) significant projects - only very small ones or demos, which don't require efficiency or precise timing.

Additionally: the Bevy team doesn't write documentation at all. The "cheat book" is written by a 3rd party, with the consequence that it's partial, superficial, and it may be halted at any time (note that I don't fault the book maintainer(s); their contribution is crucial!). This isn't great when one approaches the engine for the first time; it actually sucks because engines like Bevy are (relatively) large beasts.
This has become SOP for Ubisoft and EA; but I believe you’re referring to Simcity by EA. That was the most egregious example with the most press and was zero-day cracked with a stub server interface.

Pedantically, the Holy See[1] is the Pope's jurisdiction, which includes his universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction in addition to territorial control of a sovereign state. This state[2], per the treaty establishing it[3], is properly referred to as "Vatican City State" (Stato della Città del Vaticano).

This is understandably confused by the fact that it is the Holy See, not Vatican City State, that maintains foreign relations and participates in international organizations like the UN.

This, I assume, is why the official ISO name associated with country code VA was at some point changed from "Vatican City State (Holy See)" to "Holy See (the)"[4].

Interestingly, both entities issue passports[5].

Blazor is not equal to JavaScript. Blazor is Microsoft's answer to React and Flutter. So far of the three, I like Blazor, but not the server version that uses SignalR to communicate with the client because it locks you in. Blazor Webassembly is awesome, but just needs a good DOM manipulation library. With Blazor Wasm on the client, I can use anything on the back end.

The term "customer obsession" has become a red flag for me when interviewing because I've never worked at or chatted with a company that had "customer obsession" as value that wasn't aggressively working to squeeze every dime from their users with zero interest in whether or not this squeezing was harmful to the customer.

An actual, sincere customer obsession (and btw I think we both completely agree here) means that you are willing to lose out on some conversion and revenue in order to make sure your customers are top priority.

Real customer obsession isn't just an ethical principle either, it makes business sense. The problem is that the value of customer obsession is realized over the span of years or decades. Companies that have a sincere customer obsession are the kinds of places that survive economic ups and downs, where people's children grow up and are loyal to the product because they remember the time their parents were treated well by the company.

If your only company focus is Q4 KPIs then you really can't have "customer obsession".
Back to Reddit, all of you.
When the workers finally unionise at every warehouse, Amazon can rest comfortably in the knowledge that they caused it.
I agree that such unplanned conversations with random colleagues can be very useful.

Nevertheless, such conversations normally take just a very small fraction of the time spent in the office.

While doing real creative work, I have never seen anyone who doesn't do it better when insulated from their colleagues.

I have always worked in places where I wasted at least a couple of hours every day with commuting, and those are certainly not worth 10 or 20 minutes of useful daily conversations with the colleagues.

In my opinion, the best would be a hybrid style of work, with 4 days at home and 1 in the office, or at most with 3 days at home and 2 in the office, to have an opportunity for unplanned discussions.
I'm surprised people aren't getting this. The $100k is from their advertising budget (or could be).

They chose the proportion 500:1. It's comical. If you want to be seen as a good actor, don't take your dollar and then split a penny in 5 pieces and give one to charity.

They could have made 10x more of a donation and hardly touched the budget they had for their ads. Or 100x more and only slightly reduced the ads. All while increasing the advertising power of the donation they were showcasing in the ads themselves, so it's not like they'd simply be losing the money to charity.
> but it always baffled me that we were able to focus so much on the individual trees of metric optimization that we would miss the forest to that extent

Always look to the decision maker's incentives and you'll almost always discover why things are the way they are. And often, to your point, there's an aspect of tunnel vision associated with it because considering the bigger picture is difficult as a company grows and becomes more complex and creates friction in achieving goals.

Ultimately, this is the purpose of senior leadership. But the Peter Principal really begins to kick in at that level and the truth is, many senior leaders are in over their head and are unable to materialize the broader strategy and understand how their various units are affecting it. So we end up with crappy products.
Well, if you are running hundreds of tests with 0.05 p-value, you will get plenty of false ok A/A tests, and there isn't much of a reason to expect them to be correlated to actual signal on your A/B tests.

A/A tests do test your methodology as you said. But they do not fix a p-value one order of magnitude higher than it should be. (And yeah, I'm aware you know that, but your comment places them on the same context, so it got misleading.)

Heating is an accessory like floor mat, it can be easily added or removed in 2 minutes. No, I don’t believe they try to save on production, but try to take last penny from a consumer: when you know you already have heater installed, you are probably more likely to pay for it, or pay for it half time (at least this is how they think about it).

Ask HN: Why is there protobuf,Avro,JSON Schema,etc. instead of ASN.1?
I am searching for a nice serialization format which offers a binary and plaintext representation and which allows to specify validation rules.

It seems like reinventing a wheel. And the wheel seems to be ASN.1 as far as I understood.

Could you maybe guide me from your experience why many other serialization formats were invented and why not everybody uses ASN.1 where you already get all kinds of RFCs (e.g 5280) or ISO standards on how to define for example a representation of a TLS certificate and and such.

Chips I could understand as they're small and volume would be X times the number of cars produced.

But a heated seat is not light, its a lot of extra weight to ship and therefore more fuel used for every car.

What percentage of car owners will pay for that feature to be enabled. 20, 30 , 50?

That's a lot of fuel and energy burnt to get it to that person and over the life of the car the weight of those seats will have a material impact on the lifetime fuel usage of the car, tyre wear times etc etc.

> Minimum wage didn’t keep up with inflation in most places during that period.

Locally, minimum wage increased 50% over that period. Inflation was 17% over the same period. Like I asked before, maybe they only exploited workers in certain markets? There is no evidence of the bi-modal situation that you refer to locally. Obviously not all locales are equal, but the remark is presented without local information, hence wanting to know more about what it means. Does Uber treat workers like gold in some markets?

> What are you going to do, quit this $10/hour job and go work at another $10/hour job? Why bother

The reason you'd go to the other $10/hr job is to not face the same exploitation found at Uber. If all jobs on the market are seen as being equally fair, you're not being exploited... You might not be worth what you wish you were, but that's not what exploitation is.
I think by "bad actors" they meant psychopaths and malignant narcissists who would aim to take over the system for their own gain. People like Stalin. The problem at scale is figuring out who these people are, and keeping them out of exactly that system. Unfortunately even the American system of checks and balances can't really keep psychopaths out of high office, so it's an unsolved problem of how to deal with this.

Picture this- you walk into a Blockbuster and only the cardboard covers are on the shelves. You touch one and a ML-driven camera begins a preview of the movie on a nearby screen. You can chat with anyone else there of course. When you find something you like, you take the cardboard cover (recyclable of course) out of the store and another ML-driven camera records the transaction and automatically bills you for the rental, then sets up a stream of it at your home on their app running on your device (appletv or whatever). (If you don't actually want the cardboard cover you can deposit it into a box outside the store, but the nominal cost of them is low enough that the store wouldn't care if you actually brought it home.)

Best of both worlds?

I am also a µFT-shooter, e.g. OM-1 with the 300/4. I named the 150-400, a lens which certainly doesn't have a 35mm counterpart. At which point the "quality" advantage of a 35mm sensor becomes moot. And of course also, if one doesn't have a lens to match my more affordable 300/4. Assuming the 35mm shooter is even willing to carry the equipment :p. The camera body size of course does no longer make a difference, but the lens size still does.
People reverse engineer back end servers for online games all the time. You don't need AI. Just a really dedicated following and a lot of free time.

I'm confused by this - many mirrorless lenses setup for video work have a zoom switch rather than a zoom ring. An electronic motor ensures smooth zoom.

Furthermore, why are you unable to hold a mirrorless camera as steadily? Something like the Peak Design Clutch strap ought to remedy that I would think? Not to mention cameras like the X-T4 have quite good IBIS built-in to steady out the shot a bit.
The great thing about the JVM is a lot of languages run on it and you get access to the same ecosystem from any of them. If you like Python, I had a great experience with Jython. It was really easy to interoperate back and forth between Jython and Java. The only major downside is it implements Python2 and is not expected to move forward to Python3.

It's a good choice if you don't expect to pull in modern Python libraries, just do basic scripting and pull in JARs when needed instead.

Just a few paragraphs down, it says:

"Tradition has it that humans did not compose the revered compositions of the Vedas, but that God taught the Vedic hymns to the sages, who then handed them down through generations by word of mouth. Another tradition suggests that the hymns were "revealed," to the sages, who were known as the seers or “mantradrasta” of the hymns."
