It's easy to understand. Sports teams. It's the same concept. The US has literally been the best economy for decades. Now a 2nd place contender is rising up, it's natural for people to feel this way and latch on to every negative thing about that country and magnify it.

It happens on both sides, the Chinese feel the same way about the US of A too.

Higher density happens because investors want to maximize the use of land in desirable areas, not because land is unavailable or difficult to zone. I live in Bucharest, a city of incredibly high RE development, and most of the new buildings are more compressed and crowded in on each other than they were under communism, which is a common occurrence in the former Soviet satellite states [1].

From my window, I can see across the Delta Vacaresti, a wildlife reserve that was once a neighborhood that Ceausescu just had time to raze to the ground for some new insane scheme before his people shot him. Across the way, I see three massive multistory residential blocks going up, crowded together like pedestrians on a metro train at rush hour - only one side of the front-most block has any view of the Delta, while the others literally live in each other's shadows, lacking sunlight.

By contrast, communist design principles designed a whole neighborhood, with schools and hospitals and doctors, with the 'megablocks' seen as small cities in themselves that needed dedicated support systems.

I've used Helix for all my recreational programming projects (in Rust) for about 6 months and I've written about 10kLOC of code with it. Still using vim at $WORK for a variety of reasons (giant c++ codebase that does not easily plug in to clangd/LSP), but I might be doing the switch soon.

Installation was easy and the default configuration is good. Plugging in rust-analyzer still needed a line or two of config file editing, but that should not be necessary for very long. Hint: use `hx --health` to check that all the tools are properly installed and configured (it shows a matrix of programming languages and their associated tooling, with red/green check marks).

My Helix config file is about 5 lines long, but my Vim config is in the hundreds of lines.

I had very little friction coming from Vim and a little bit of Kakoune.

I particularly like the fact that all the important features are built-in and not half baked scripts with unintended side effects (e.g. opening a Makefile in Vim triggers a ftplugin script that messes editor-global config instead of buffer-local, with the default out of the box scripts).

Lots of people are requesting a plugin extension system, which is kinda understandable since every editor seems to have one. But I haven't had a need to add any kind of plugin, and it's easy enough to fork a shell for an external process if needed.

It's still rough around the edges, but good enough for a daily driver.

Thanks to everyone working on the project.

Money spent on military hardware you build yourself 'trickle down', especially if the company (like Safran) have its profits regulated by the state (since our ministers are their best salesmen, i think it's fait tbh).

But money never really trickle down if you don't produce necessary goods. Maybe it was a valid theory when half the economy was agricultural and 80% of the industrial output was useful for everyone (aka directed towards food, medicine and construction), but nowadays nobody really believe it works.

> And conversely, maybe if you're not willing or able to get a colonoscopy when invited, you're more likely to ignore symptoms until it's too late.

Yes. This is the argument against relying on the secondary analysis in this study. Although the invited and standard care groups were randomized such that differences in putative confounders were adjusted for, the rejection of the intervention itself may have reintroduced systematic differences that reduce the reliability of the hypothesis that intention to screen for colon cancer reduces mortality. Possibly those who accepted screening colonoscopy are more attentive to other health and lifestyle practices that reduce colon cancer mortality.

> Regrettably, Helix has inherited Vim's worst design flaw, namely being unusable with non-English keyboard layouts

How so? I find the default helix shorcuts to be generally quite close to "ascii text input" - that is: ctrl, shift, alt, a-z and regular punctation?

FWIW I work on a Norwegian layout on a Mac, which is rather horrible for programming and shell use (option-7 for pipe, shift-option-k+space for tilde (!?), shift-option-7 for backslash, shift/option/alt + 8,9 for brackets ...).

I do miss "leader" from vim/neovim - and autocompletion from buffer (when there is no language support, like configuration files).
Nah. 'Creating jobs' means "this factory doesn't need you or have a career for you, so go work someplace menial instead to put food on the table"

Its just a plain fact that manufacturing has a tiny fraction of the people employed that it did a generation or two ago. Blurring that with hopeful 'employment' statistics that ignore what kind of employment, is PollyAnna stuff.
> Since the UK treasury has already issued the bonds at a fixed rate, why do they care what the secondary aftermarket price of their bonds is?

The UK parliament has identified that when large numbers of people go bankrupt all the parliamentarians get into trouble, so it requires that the Bank of England take an interest in the secondary market for bonds. A lot of people with debts will be sent bankrupt if there is an available mechanism to get a yield because at the moment lots of money is deployed to people who can't make a meaningful return on it (turns out this includes a lot of pension funds). It'll be redeployed if yields go up.

I love to see that Helix tries its best to ensure an out-of-the-box experience, as well as to add so many interactive hints for key combinations (for example when you want to paste in insert mode with C-R it’ll immediately list a set of registers that you can paste from).

However Vim is much more to me. It’s not just an editor, but a keybinding that I can use not only in nain, but also in VSCode, in fish shell, and even in GHCi REPL.

How long would it take to make them all support (some reasonable subset of) Helix?

In theory this is already the case; Self-hosting only really requires understanding DNS and the basics of running a Unix system if you just rent a VPS at say, Hetzner. Similarly, buying domain names is as easy as buying a phone number, probably even easier since ID legislation surrounding phone numbers is much stricter.

NAT, TCP and UDP don't come into play unless you also plan on self-hosting your IP assignments or need to configure the firewall, which most people don't need to do (firewalls for webservers are usually already set up by the distro from my experience.)

The problem is that the rest of the process is poorly documented (really... anything surrounding HTTPS; webservers require setting arcane config flags that all make sense once explained but why aren't distros just shipping sane SSL snippets that aim to get a good SSLLabs score/maintain older browser compat as needed, pretty much all these configs are shared across systems, certbot is cool but good luck parsing the documentation and woe be onto you if you do DNS-level verification with an unofficial plugin, the docs are all over the place) which creates this faux idea that you need to be a massive tech nerd to even begin self-hosting.

The closest thing most people can follow is setting up shop at a shared hosting provider with a one-click WordPress installation (or other apps fitting in an AMP stack). That has been automated to the point where the enduser can reliably do it, but that pushes the limit of what you can really consider self-hosting.

Yes, most religions have a midwinter festival of rebirth (e.g. Sol Invictus -- the sun gets weak but is reborn) and a spring fertility festival.

I find it odd that the Christians reversed them though: easter is a death/rebirth festival (hence the bunnies, chicks, lambs etc -- people want their fertility symbols at that time) which would make more sense in the midwinter and their god's birth festival is in the middle of winter for some reason.

In Ireland it funds RTE TV/radio. I don't consume the television and radio media that RTE produces, and thus consider the fee a grab for money they're not owed.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2022/0711/1309666-media-commission/ (I get the irony of linking to rte.ie for a news story) indicates that the fee may be changed to be a wider funding of the arts and media in Ireland. That would make me consider changing my mind and stance, but at that point I'd rather see a % based take-off of my income so that less affluent households are affected to a lesser degree.

Wasn’t HFR mostly used in 3D films to get rid of the skipping in high paced scenes? If I remember correctly the first HFR film was The Hobbit?

(I worked in the industry at the time on the technical side, but I’m not a film buff, so the details are forgotten a long time ago. All I remember is that there was a huge amount of work involved to get all the equipment upgraded to support HFR. Cinemas had to upgrade both their playback servers and projectors for thousands of dollars. All for less than a handful of films.)
You are assuming the market is homogenous. The vast majority of developers are not in the same league as FAANG devs. It's very unlikely a FAANG dev is going to go from $$$ to $. The market is not so bad that people are scrambling for any job they can get.
No, the reality is that layoffs have legally mandated public announcements, but pressuring a lot of employees into resigning all at the same time doesn't, which makes this a layoff that is quiet.
> I guess I do agree that the headline is likely to be counterproductive. What the data might show is that the most effective thing you as an individual can do is to be the kind of person who takes colonoscopies when invited.

Agreed. Except the most effective thing you can do as an individual is have a colonoscopy, not be the sort of person who would have one :-)
I find it amazing when you look at a well-used bike tyre, how much glass and bits of metal shrapnel are embedded in the rubber. When the tyre is new, the rubber is thick enough that small sharp things don't make it through to the tube, but they stay in the rubber, and as it wears down those same bits of shrapnel start to become a problem. Usually with an older tyre, once you get one puncture, there are many more on the way, so it's time to replace the tyre.

True, but most of todays SBCs and phones don't support UEFI. If you look at SBSA, it has server in the name.

You should be able to put vanilla Ubuntu on a SD card and pop it into a computer and get at least the basic features working. Instead, now you have the choice between opaque firmware images from the vendor (with an ancient kernel, and random additions to userspace), or building your own images with a lot of tinkering.

Make sure you have rust-analyzer installed, and check `hx --health` to see that Helix finds it.

Not sure if this is still necessary, but I needed this workaround in ~/.config/helix/languages.toml:

language-server = { command = "rustup", args = ["run", "nightly", "rust-analyzer"]}

This should not be necessary when rust-analyzer is stabilized (may be already), but last time I tried it still needed nightly.
> does not handle old posts. This post number is the number of posts since at least one person on that instance followed them.

That's not an explanation for the behavior here.

The instance's very first Hello World post <https://hexa.ninja/o/4473c26694414f928466337c1a9e0fc6> appears, while more recent ones don't. There's probably no one actually following this account from this instance. (Hard to check.)
Yeah, I've found a sizeable portion of these people will gladly stall a project indefinitely by bringing a "but does it scale" mindset to a deployment that fits on an instance and a few AWS services.

Like no really, we don't need to argue about a 5 page git branch management and deployment policy for 4 developers. We don't need datadog or whatever for 100KB of text files. Editing that github action that takes 2 hours to generate a docker deployment from scratch is a massive waste of time. etc.

What we do need is something that generates revenue and an engineering philosophy that mainly comes from the rest-and-vest crowd isn't it.

Youtube results sometimes make sense. I use them when looking at some electronics setups because it is easier to understand the visual part (locating the connector etc.) than to guess though a written description (the connector is the black square that is next to the ventilator).

Sometimes it is useful for coding, where there is some refactoring done that helps you to understand the "why" of some changes.

But it clearly depends on the video. Many have the 20 useful seconds burrien in 4 minutes of BS.
Not all of those 12.000 people are going to be in technology, my guess is that most of them won't be.

The article is also poorly written. The author clearly know that Meta is the parent company, so are the 12.000 people across all Meta properties, or just Facebook? Given that Meta, not Facebook, have 83.000 employees (which seems like a lot to be honest), the 12.000 is across all Meta owned companies. That could mean that Meta is dropping a bunch of projects that doesn't make money, firing the people working on them, while those working in profit centers a safe, for now. I wouldn't be surprised if moderations is going to take a big hit.

As others pointed out "quiet layoff" is a weird term to use, that could mean that initially they won't rehire, at least not externally, when people quit.
> Those 12,000 employees are first in line for every and any job, before anybody who does not have FAANG credentials.

I could also imagine the brand signalling not working in the favor of anyone leaving there around now.

Normally, people sometimes leave there because they've decided they want a different kind of work, or a different environment.

But, for the near future, there might be a large number of people forced out of there, ostensibly for poor performance.

When you're sifting through resumes, as much as "got into X" can look like a positive, "possibly spat back out by X" might cancel that out.
Ceph started out as an object storage system with vaguely universal front end slammed on top. It is a good object store, but it's not a file system, and this shows. It has Forward Error Correction scheme that dealt with underlying hardware failure. so your blocks that you store are reasonably safe. But thats the point, its a blockstore/object store.

Thats the easy part. allowing concurrent access to the same block, managing write clashes, decent cacheing are hard. Even harder when you are doing it with posix semantics.

The main issue with Ceph is that the filesystem is an addon and required a huge amount of resources to make it work properly. (search out the ceph plan for gitlab, before they were bought out by a company that insisted on bringing in sysadmins to sort infra out)

the big and largest elephant is that cephfs is still not really "stable" by that I mean supported fully by a large support company. This means that if something goes wrong, you need to figure it out yourself.
> because every single additional person showing up for a screening is a net win

We can't say that from this study.

Colonoscopy does appear to be one of the screenings that reduces mortality. (That's why this is such a surprising result and is getting a lot of attention). But that does not mean that colonoscopy screening is useful for people in their 40s. There's a lot of discussion about the benefits and risks of colonoscopy screening for people in their 50s. Colonoscopy, especially as it's practised in the US with heavy sedation, is not risk free.

France isn't a counterpoint in my opinion. It's a very stratified country, on several dimensions. Racially with huge disparities and unemployment among minorities but also culturally with a largely privileged, academic and almost aristocratic political class. France resembles the US and Britain more than Germany or Scandinavia with its almost exclusive recruitment of elites out of the Grande école system and the accompanying social ills. The dominance and centrality of Paris, and so on.

As for the homogeneity, I don't think it's a dogwhistle. You don't need to interpret it normatively, but it is worth accepting the reality that very diverse populations often have issues with social trust. And high social trust is a requirement for equality, because it is necessary if people are supposed to share resources and make sacrifices for strangers. Some very high trust and egalitarian countries like Israel or Finland are tight knit because they share an identity, or sometimes which is ugly to admit, an enemy. You don't need to turn this into a guideline for some racist political program, but it's important to not ignore it. That's a huge problem of Laïcité, it's intentionally blind.
For simple projects, sure. On complex systems like most big IT companies have, then you need specialization. Same as for coding and administering actually.
I have been trying out Helix for the last few months as part of my now 24 year quest to incorporate some form of vi into my daily routine. This time, it's looking good. What sets it apart are the (zero-conf) built-in LSP and tree-sitter highlighting, and the select-verb modal keybindings instead of vi's verb-object syntax, where you see what you're about to do before you do it. Some of the key combinations also show a reminder menu, aiding the learning process, which is a nice touch over plain old vi which has zero discoverability. General performance is also very good, the editor feels a lot snappier than a fully loaded Neovim or Doom Emacs, or a monster like Visual Code.

I think there are plans to see if a graphical editor could be built on top of it, which would be an interesting project. As a new Rust graphical tree-sitter based editor, it would probably rival the upcoming open-or-not Zed editor by the Atom folks.
