Something not directly mentioned in the article is how every layoff will create a huge social network of people who can refer you to their new employer.

Just about every person who got laid off will find another job of some kind, and if they liked working with you, they'll help get you in and give you a leg up compared to other candidates.

Referrals are the top source for new hires: https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/talent-acqu...

Perhaps the criticism I'd give to the article is that many of the things that "can't be put on a spreadsheet" actually can be put on a spreadsheet. A lot of employee feelings can be gathered from surveys and put into spreadsheets or metrics.

I don't really think that this "spreadsheet mentality" is necessarily doing what the author is accusing it of doing.

For a lot of businesses, the reality may be that having the most innovative, most happy workforce doesn't do enough to affect the one spreadsheet that matters, which is the balance sheet.

Let's say I laid off 100 people out of my 1000 person workforce. The median salary is $100,000. So, I just saved $10 million in payroll. Maybe those 100 people attract another 100 people to defect to other companies, which might be a good thing, since those are going to be my most disgruntled 100 employees no longer poisoning the well.

So now I've got to go out and hire some new people. These new people won't have any negative history or built-up animosity with my company.

This process might have some turmoil, but I've still saved $10 million in payroll, so my costs I've incurred to do some re-hiring and to account for my potentially slowed down pace of innovation have to exceed $10 million for this to be a bad deal.

I can even lose some customer revenue and come out ahead. Have you ever dropped a vendor solely because they had a layoff?

If my little made-up story is anywhere close to the truth, it probably shows you why we have the current work culture where employees basically need to switch jobs within 5 years to stay happy and well-compensated.
I’d have a hard time remembering what it was called—this was 31 years ago. I remember loving the concept and wanting to open something similar in Southern California (all I lacked was the time, money and ability). Nowadays, I support the somewhat similar in mission Open Books here in Chicago (whose main bookstore is in the same building as my current employer).

What I remember was that their main clients for the literacy services were crew members from cargo ships.

You’re cherry picking a subset of people there. I imagine some view it with a sort of mild indifference, but there are people who are concerned about their own privacy from both government and big tech. I generally disregard any sentence that starts with “most people..” because it usually can’t be backed up with sources.
This is an interesting take. If it’s correct, the GOP is making no attempt to capitalize on it because they’re idiots when it comes to tapping in to how Americans feel (Trump was a rare exception). The GOP don't get it, haven’t gotten it, and I suspect never will get it. So I’m doubtful this will translate into enough votes by itself to turn elections.

That was my interpretation when I first read the detailed process about the BLS survey.

It will still measure inflation, but if the median American's spending preferences changes when prices change (which is true until the median American can never afford anything except the bare necessities to begin with), then those changing preferences will result in falsely lower inflation numbers. Combined with Hedonic adjustments, true inflation has probably been about 50% higher than reported for the last two decades (and more in line with the Big Mac index) [0].

Hard to tell from the article whether the real person is stepping down, or his in-universe avatar is. Like, is he gone for good? Or will he just reappear as a new lvl 1 player in two weeks?

I assume the former, but there's something perversely funny about the idea of a player in a fictional universe having to resign from fictional corporation because he failed to adequately address in-universe HR claims.

Almost all of the EU's uranium also has to be imported from non-EU sources, just like fossil fuels. So it's not really better if you want actual energy independence.
Offshore wind (the main segment for large/powerful wind turbines) generates just fine throughout, including the peak consumption periods. The failures of EU (or should we say German, as the rest of the Union mainly subsidizes its power bills now) energy policy are mainly self inflicted damage of tying to hydrocarbon supply from terror states.

Backwards compatibility is guaranteed afaik, the rare breaking changes are activated by setting a newer Rust "edition" in the project's config. So in theory you can just keep coding Rust 1.0 style if you remove an auto-generated line that's used to set the project to the current 2021 edition.
It's not our 'job' to be the world police. We've been effectively subsidizing social spending in LATAM and europe for decades now. Other countries would simply have to increase their defense spending as necessary to keep themselves safe.

I don't think there is any role for the US military beyond defending US soil. I'm tired of propping up our bloated military industrial complex on the premise that we are solely responsible for world peace.
So this statement isn't quite true. You're not required to counter steer but it is the easiest way to achieve the correct lean angle for a corner and when learning to ride it becomes intuitive.

This video explains it better and is a lot shorter https://youtu.be/PgUOOwnZcDU

So it's not required to counter steer, but it is required to lean in to the corner to maintain the correct center of gravity while turning. You could do lean angle by simply moving your body, but that's not the way people have learned to ride so it's difficult to do without practicing it.

You wouldn't typically use this when you need lots of random accesses, but when you process the data sequentially.

It also simplifies and speeds up SIMD loads and stores, because you can load/store entire SIMD registers with a continuous, non-strided memory access.
> Not just 'not work', but 'actively repel'. A popup chat bot or a survey form request (during or after using a website or software product) or anything not germane to the task that has a shadow or notification highlight has slowly but surely become a form of wart that elicits a deep, instinctual disgust from me. I'd even say an unhealthy and unreasonable level of disgust.

Same here. I've even setup a bunch of Firefox extensions just to keep the annoying ad-like stuff away from me.

Sometimes, when I open up a browser on a computer I don't own, I get surprised by how filled internet is with annoyances. It feels like I've put on the glasses from They Live and can suddenly see all the bullsh-t.

I have MST on my displays and it is a disaster. Also, considering the usecase where you use the VM to drive one of the displays which breaks the MST chain.

For this reason and how displayport/gfx-vendors handle unplugged cables I do prefer HDMI/DVI. Wish it wasn't the case.

Maybe a MST-hub could work well but I've heard of some of the difficulties and pecularities a simple KVM-switch can suffer from so I don't have high hopes for it.

How deep are you diving on the situation? Almost every analyst agrees that Russia does not have the manpower to sustain their efforts to date, certainly not to hold the territory they desire. Their progress has been slow and extremely costly.

It's really more of a race to see whose economy collapses first to the point they are willing to negotiate. A stalemate will more likely depend on how much equipment the west can / will give to Ukraine, they have ample manpower (600k aiming for 1M warfighters, most need training and equipping)

The same way a government turns around and says that things like child pornography, human trafficking, terrorism, hate speech, bullying, piracy are not allowed on the internet. It may not be the most effective thing in the world when there is not a consensus from all governing and participating parties but that doesn't stop them from doing it and using it against an individual who is caught in the act of perusing/engaging said sites.

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat

> The goat or domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a domesticated species of goat-antelope typically kept as livestock. It was domesticated from the wild goat (C. aegagrus) of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the animal family Bovidae and the tribe Caprini, meaning it is closely related to the sheep.
A lot has changed in the world since when Eve Online was a new game.

There are a lot of things I (and many of my friends) have said in in-game chatting without any hesitation back then that would not fly in today's more politically correct and sensitive world, even taking into account the gaming community's brasher nature. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

>You might “go see a show” but it seemed like a much bigger deal than going to the movies is today.

I'm not sure that's true. The studio system in Hollywood churned out a huge number of movies.

Today (and really for a long time) my sense has been that going to the movies tends to be about younger people on dates, getting together with friends for a fairly low effort, not too expensive activity. And, probably for this reason, from what I can tell cinema attendance has sprung back better than a lot of people expected.

You definitely could write a book about it. But inevitably, some people would then be intimately familiar with your ideas while others would have no idea who you were.

I wasn't detailed in what I said - it would not surprise me if more years of life were preserved from the pollution reductions. But pollution is usually, but not always, a gradual killer so I wouldn't necessarily expect a rapid drop in deaths.
> And it's common practice to install new releases as soon as they come out without waiting for distros to pick them up.

That's the problem. It's not the release schedule that's the problem. The answer I've arrived at, right now, is to make the default version of the Ubuntu LTS release immediately prior to the latest, my default.

Is that arbitrary? Yes. Might that change if some very cool Rust features are included in 1.64 -- like, if let chains? Yeah. So should the Rust community perhaps develop best practices on MSRV, at the very least notifying if a package deviates from MSRV norms? Maybe. Is this a big problem? Let's be real -- no, not really.

I think this is true, but only the vapid sense that absolutely everything in the body and mind is biochemical (and if you believe that the mind has non-biological aspects then it ceases to be true).

There is always a feedback cycle also I think. You can tell your manager why something could work or not. The manager is the responsible from the direction POV but it is also true that we are responsible to some extent of how we perform. Maybe not from an executive or strategic POV but yes from a deliver-what-you-are-asked for POV.

What I mean, all in all, is: we all should care. That's why it is called an organization.

I agree with job about the job of a manager. I am just telling you that each one has her responsibility. All of us.
And yet if it's the conclusion of their study and their study is sound, wouldn't it be irresponsible to fudge and mince it?
My perception (which I would like to correct) is that such trends are mostly isolated to the US and not prevalent in Europe. Ex. over-prescribing based on some recent finding, new diet, new exercise trend, new [insert habit/lifestyle]. Is that the case?

I think I assume that it is not "as" intense and people are relatively more in-tune with their bodies.

All these behaviors seem to me to be tied with the height we assign to science to tell us how to live our lives.

Two lists are equal only if they have the same contents and in the same order. Bags don’t have an order, they’re more like sets, so bags are equal so long as they have the same contents.
That was the era of big government. Since then we've evolved towards limited government and the brainpower is put to more efficient uses like social media and designing financial abstractions, both of which pay much better than government work.
Yep, I've been bitten by exactly this failure mode.

You have to invalidate/bust the cache when a failure is returned (which is racy, but since cache busting is on the sad path it's a fine place to protect with a plain ol' mutex, assuming you even have real parallelism/preemption in the mix).

Alternatively you can cache promises to functions that will never return failure and will instead internally retry until they succeed. This approach generalizes less well to arbitrary promises, but is more friendly to implementing the custom back off/retry scheme of your choice.
The BIP buffer.

It's a ring buffer compatible with APIs that don't specifically support it.

74595s are incredibly useful, compatible with SPI interfaces, and completely forgotten by today's engineers.

While true, the are a government organization susceptible to political influence. We could greatly shrink the number of accidents with some very low tech requirements like mandatory full lights and headlights at all times if the car is in gear plus mandatory fish eye mirrors in all side views. These are literally almost free changes but not law. We all know that distraction (texting, nav, infotainment) is another category but we don't have any car rules to mitigate this. Instead we pass largely unforceable laws like "texting and driving is illegal".

Counterpoint: disk sector sizes are not multiples or clean fractions of 1000, and it's unlikely to change anytime soon because we'll likely store files as octets of binary information (binary digits) for the rest of time.

It makes no sense to count it in 1000-based SI units. You'll perpetually mis-align the data in whichever underlying storage technology you're using, and it's bad for performance and resource consumption.

> Is CRT specifically actionable?

Setting aside for a moment what is CRT, there are debates about problems related to actionability in different accounts of racism on the left. One critique of some accounts is that they are too pessimistic, too mysterious, and too inactionable.

The best way I've found of discovering new blogs is Thinking About Things (https://www.thinking-about-things.com). I was introduced to it recently and it's introduced me to great new blogs.

Everyone caught Covid anyway, despite all the measures (and masks, vaccines, etc). If Covid really is some long-term horror, we were doomed from the start. If it isn't, then we screwed up our kids for nothing.

I don't think it's controversial any more to say that Covid was a lab-generated virus. I have a personal theory that it was supposed to be much worse than it turned out to be, and even then it quickly mutated to more mild strains. If certain cultures are not allowed to admit a loss of face, it would explain why one country in particular is still acting like Covid is the worst....
