The sooner Americans realize they're basically all criminals, the better. The arbitrary and capricious selection of who to hold accountable for TC transactions is classic divide-and-conquer tactic.

The 'honest' reader here should realize they aren't the 'good guy'. They're just someone a prosecutor hasn't found convenient to destroy yet.
To be clear, I was just trying to figure out what an nonsense phrase like "anti-racist layoffs" could mean.

> Maybe "anti-racist" would work

Clearly not, because it's an easily and frequently misunderstood term.

Anyway, the problem with anti-racism isn't terminology. It's an individualized solution to a structural problem, and so is doomed to fail just like conscious capitalism et. al.

Tangentially, about Patreon:
I tried removing my Pateron account yesterday, since I haven't been using it for a year now, and the removal procedure is absolutely ridiculous [1]:

1. I needed to open some privacy page

2. Then click some button to make privacy request

3. Pick an option to Erase account

4. Click Allow, so some third-party (?) can access my information and delete it. In their support page [1] they state "Click the Allow button so that our data deletion partner, Transcend, can view your Patreon account — they must have access to the account to erase it." - What the hell is "data deletion partner", first time hearing this term?

5. Click Confirm.

6. Just when I thought that's it, they sent me an email "You've recently made a request to erase your data from Patreon. Please verify that you made this request by clicking the link below.". Of course, this step is not described in their support page [1].

7. This doesn't remove the account, but adds it to queue so my account will be removed sometimes in the following 30 days. Incredible!

No. Abolish the Republican Party. After Jan. 6, you can get it declared a terrorist organization, freeze its assets, whatever.

That won't turn a two-party system into a one-party system. We'll just have it so that the Democrats become the new right-wing party and someone else -- the Greens, say -- take up the left wing. That will bring the USA's Overton window in line with the rest of the developed world.
After seeing the beautiful new Arabic fonts in this post, I can't go back to being happy with just simple text for the web. We're still so far from the beauty of calligraphy and even old metal typefaces, with their ligatures and all. We have to dream bigger.

“Bill doesn’t really want to review your spec, he just wants to make sure you’ve got it under control. His standard M.O. is to ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don’t know, and then he can yell at you for being unprepared. Nobody was really sure what happens if you answer the hardest question he can come up with because it’s never happened before."

It depresses me that the people considered the best in our industry are such assholes. Bill just wanted to yell at everyone because it was the only way he knew how to motivate?
It matters because words like "take responsibility" should have meaning.

My lawyer advised me not to reveal my handicap during any interview process. it really is about the skillset.

It becomes a bonus for the company if HR finds out, but not necessarily for the line management.

Problem is Google does not segregate such sensitive info (race, sex, handicap) between the hiring team and its HR.

Google, however, elected not to use email and I am unwilling to reveal the real reason for me calling them directly … much less by email.
My theory behind this is there are many BTC holders with cap gains (or assets acquired through illegal methods) that can't easily cash out, and El Salvador's BTC support was a grab at capturing tourist revenue through state sponsored money laundering.

Through that lens, it would be interesting to see if there was any anomaly in GDP, luxury goods sold, real estate sales, or tourism in the country.

> So where are we going and what is the point? [...] Scholze and Clausen are arguing that condensed abelian groups are an important new definition in mathematics. How can AI developers create a chatbot which helps graduate students to learn about the category of condensed abelian groups, until professional mathematicians have taught computers what a condensed abelian group is? I know that some people in the machine learning crowd would answer things like “use language models, train on the papers about condensed abelian groups” but I am not yet convinced that this alone will turn into a useful tool. Lean (and other theorem provers) offer a framework where one can create a library of useful theorems, examples, and counterexamples. We do not even have to type in all the proofs. If “we” (the mathematical community, for example PhD students in arithmetic geometry) start translating important statements, examples, counterexamples, references and so on, and somehow combine this with language models, we will at least make some kind of interesting thing, which I imagine will get more helpful to humans over time.

The better balance sheet allows the rest of the remaining force going concern viability. Else they could all be out of a job. Or something on between.

Yes sometimes someone new would be beneficial, other times not. You don’t need someone new coming in and further disrupting a fragile situation.

the alternative hiring model is the reluctant hiring model, such as in some of Europe, where they hire out of last resort and would rather not give someone a leg up on experience while the going's good because firing people is fraught. Both options have pros and cons, but I prefer the more flexible model.
Right before I came to the comments here I just failed in a search to find a summary of the most significant changes of this NetBeans version. This has happened to me on previous versions in the past as well - you have to either read the exhaustive list of changes on their github page, or get lucky and find some 3rd party blog that condenses it down for you. Why doesn't Apache write that blog themselves? Or have they and I just didn't stumble across it?

Mmm, keyboard centric, Im loving it
I once did an internship with a BigTechCompany, and after my internship was over and I went back to university, they kept paying me! Every two weeks, I got another paycheck direct deposited. As a starving student, I have to admit it was not easy to just ignore it sitting there in my bank account but I knew if I spent it I'd eventually be in a world of hurt. I tried to contact BigTechCompany, but evidently their HR department was as incompetent as their payroll department--they didn't understand what I was talking about and kept saying since I don't work for them they would not discuss internal payroll issues with them. So month after month, my bank account grew and grew, and I'm sitting in class eating ramen noodles.

Finally, after about 8 months of this, I got an extremely threatening letter from BigTechCompany's lawyers informing me that due to a payroll error, I was overpaid, and they demand I immediately return the money that was not mine or face legal consequences, blah, blah, blah. Of course I sent it back, but what a wild and crazy way for a company to treat people when it's entirely the company's fault.
I once had a large company pay me 10x what they owed, and giving the extra back to them was quite a performance. I remember the long suffering lady in their accounts department saying that it was "like pushing the egg back up the chicken".

This. Sure, they have a monopoly on particular content, but I can certainly find other forms of entertainment. A small fraction of the audience may absolutely require Disney properties, but many people don't. Substitution is a real thing, and the force of the monopoly is thus limited.
I didn't state any opinion on Diablo at all.
Yes, but by a different set of people. Not the authorities.
Valve has the biggest implementation of this with VACNet, but it requires training data (manual reports and a volunteer jury from the community) and a lot of compute. Client side anti-cheat is much cheaper, and Vanguard is generally more reliable than VACNet.
No, there are zero barriers "in front" of minorities in the states, only advantages. There is no institutional discrimination against minorities, only against the now-majority, soon-to-be minority.
To anyone who's wondering how is such a feat possible: it's covered in the first few chapters of Dan Raymer's Aircraft Design.

Reading it made me appreciate (again) the "old" way of knowledge sharing- books and publications. I'm amazed that it's so under-appreciated tool nowadays.
Dogpiling is dogpiling. Luddites are luddites. Who am I, a person with real tech agency recruiting experience who could view the actual live job boards year after year during this period, to possibly to speak out about what actually happens when we've got people who have anecdotal experience? Every year we would reach that point and suddenly pull many jobs from the board until after the new year, but I guess it was just my imagination because someone over there got a new job in November once.

I didn't even say it was impossible. I just think it's unrealistic to expect to find something after Nov 15th and until the New Year. Sorry for knowing what I'm talking about, I guess.

Also, I think it's quaint that people assume that when labor reductions happen at tech companies, that only tech employees are affected. Somewhere there's an admin assistant who has been working at that glorified CMS, and I doubt they have the same job prospects as a software architect.

This discussion reminds me of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier museum in Alameda (near Oakland). It took 54 weeks to design, build and deloy it. It's a museum now; highly recommended. They have some Apollo stuff too.

Four years from concept to first flight for the B-52 is impressive. The "over one weekend" claim (which the body of the article refutes) is annoying.
You're getting downvoted because people on this forum are mostly ivory tower types in the top 10% (i.e., insulated, with lots of runway and many options).

But we're absolutely getting gaslit on the energy & food inflation. Just talk to anyone outside of the valley. Costs have gone up and people are nervous.
I don't mind sponsors tbh, especially if they're nicely integrated into the video's content.
Counterfactual. They in fact set up their posse up to never let the ones taking full responsibility meaning the fall from ever reaching their office. And more bodyguards.
Does it mean:

1. This is the last man standing, but there are women still standing. In which case there are still persons providing this service and it is not newsworthy.

2. This is a legacy saying from a period where only men could be involved in business enterprises. There may have been women running such businesses, but they are not worthy of record.

If not 1, then the correct phrase is “last person standing”.

The issue is not whether the last person standing is male or female. The issue of “last X standing” is about all the Xs except the last one.
I've been appreciating it for games that don't have a natural stop-off point. Unlike on my computer, I'm perfectly content to pause the game, sleep the device, and then pick it back up again later. The ability to turn it off without losing your state is a given on devices like the Switch, but it feels like a really important accomplishment on a PC where I'm often hesitant to even sleep the machine while I have a game open.

I don't think I've ever heard of training wheels at literal ground level when the bike is upright -- what would even be the point? It's basically a tricycle, like you say.

When I've seen them, they've been at least an inch or two above, which (coupled with telling the child that the game is to prevent them touching the ground) would seem to mitigate this problem while still effectively preventing falls.

> What kind of workloads spawn so many processes that saving microseconds becomes relevant?

With a huge process, you have a timeframe between the child is spawned and it executes exec*() where you typically "do stuff" (such as closing a lot of fd)

During this timeframe the parent process has its universe COW'ed, and each write will trigger a page fault.

The performance impact can be concerning in the _parent_ process.
It does have meaning. The board of directors will definitely factor in this type of thing when making decisions about hiring executives.
>Both of those impact the bottom line and should have a material impact on C-suite compensation.

Italicized emphasis mine. Time and again we've seen that this isn't the case, to the point where I won't bother holding my breathe to see if the CEO is impacted financially down the line. I'd rather start seeing CEOs highlight the fallout they themselves will receive in these layoff announcements themselves.

> But El Salvador is not Argentina though. El Salvador had never been affected by unstable currencies or unfavorable exchange rates set by their governments.

You're conflating two things. Inflation has little do with how well a remittance system functions. You wouldn't say that Western Union's system functions better or worse because of the currency it is denominated in.

> so it seems to me that they were trying to solve a problem that existed in their countries, but not in El Salvador.

While not inflation, El Salvador doesn't have a great history of fiduciary responsibility either. [1]

Hi HN -- We’re Baker and Calvin, two heat pump nerds who are really excited about home electrification and its impact on climate change.

During our explorations, we realized really struggled to find good calculators out there for understanding the impacts a heat pump can have on your specific home.

So… we built one! It’s free to use, and we’re curious to get your feedback.

Feel free to try it out here, and let us know what you think!
Sounds like you would like to see Stranger Things and all of the Harry Potter series purged too, since some people look at the child actors in those and become excited. Gymnastics, cheerleading, swimming, vollyball...

Not to mention singers who are minors since they have the same problem. Probably worse, even.
Just because you don’t see the value in someone taking responsibility in the absence of material consequences doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful to most people. You seem to have a very litigious perspective on this.

To me, this is him being clear that the decisions that led to this situation are on him, and not the employees. That’s a very clear statement, one that I would consider quite meaningful.
It's an alpha primate thing.
They already have the dubbed content - no need to delay. And a big part of the content in question is aimed at people who can't listen in the original language and are not OK watching with subtitles - namely, small kids.

So yeah, they effectively did delay release for a big chunk of their audience here. It'd be an instant sub in my family, but as it stands, Netflix has more localized kids content (go figure).

What they did is akin to Spotify launching in the US featuring only Swedish music, even if they had US catalogues available.
There's always https://layoffs.fyi, but there's a lot of "noise" in there from small startups, I find.
You're missing the point. Sure, they have monopoly content (so does Netflix, etc.). But they don't have a monopoly on entertainment, and most (or many) people can easily be satisfied by competing content or even forms on entertainment.
Layoffs have been happening consistently for months now, we’re not at the beginning
Do you happen to live in California? If so, most of the egg price increase is likely due to compliance with Prop 12 regulations.

I am mixed race, I "look" white myself, but I have an uncle for example that is "obviously black" and suffered actual anti-black racism (nothing serious, but for example police stop him in traffic whenever they see him going out with expensive car while wearing his Capoeira uniform).

When I see a statement like this (copy paste from article):

"Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens."

Makes me worry. What that phrase means? Apparent-white people (like me) got fired? Because they are white?

In the past I failed to get into the local government-owned university I wanted because I looked white. Had to get a loan and pay for private schooling.

What makes people think this sort of behaviour is good idea?
I am completely ignorant when it comes to Twilio other than hearing the name, but what is the added value compared to what AWS (and I imagine GCP / Azure) provide in terms of SMS / robocalls functionalities?

I think vfork is intended to avoid the CoW overhead? (at the cost of having really bizarre other semantics that make it tricky to use)

Since it pauses the execution of the parent process (or at least the parent thread?) it gives a window for the child to use the current stack frame to set up an exec() call.

When I first learned about vfork() (early 2000s) I had the impression it had become a bit pointless since CoW sharing had made fork() really fast. But with modern-sized address spaces it is (has become?) horribly slow again.
First, you're responding negatively to me about something that I ORIGINALLY said that I didn't like. So I'm not sure where the energy is coming from, but that's fine.

Secondly, busing does not compare to at will employment? The analogy also ignores the power dynamic behind racism (and all -isms), but that's a longer discussion than I'm willing to have here.

Lastly, I'm not sure who the "we" was there... but whoever the in-group that you're associate with is, I would suggest they look more at the socioeconomic conditions that we are all living through that lead us to these conversations filled with baseless accusations and labeling rather than making minorities the targets of your fears of replacement.

Whoosah.
A Christian like myself and an atheist like Mr Coyne can agree on one thing: CRT is dangerous and it is false.

Im pretty sure him deciding to layoff a chunk of his employees is literally his responsibility. People are upset but it's literally his responsibility to ensure the company survives.
