Oh no, there's a Flux2 already? I think I am gonna give up on Kubernetes because every time I a wanna research a specific project/problem I encounter at least three new projects I wasn't aware of. Kind of like the JS framework world.
For a small team, I can say Linear beats the hell out of JIRA.

I sure don't miss the 30+ second page loads, slow pagelads, slow saves, slow edit button, confusing comments section, and accidental random ticket body erasure when working with a heavily loaded JIRA instance.

Slight nitpick - it would be nice if when the conversation opened it was already scrolled down to the bottom, to make it feel like you're really going through his phone.
On your phone you might want to try GitJournal. It plays really well with obsidian + git, for traditional markdown.
There are at least 2 big problems with this.

1. Does this have any external accountability or oversight?

Closest I see is being able view your report but first thing it asks for is an employer instead of asking for information for identifying an individual: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employment-data-report

Somewhere out there is an unemployed person being rejected from jobs or not getting interviews because this service is providing an incomplete or erroneous employment history. It’s critical that services like this have a means of both easily identifying and rectifying errors.

2. Equifax offers the option to delete or freeze your data but what does that mean for future employers looking to validate your employment?

Employers that lean too heavily on this are going to reject candidates that deleted or froze their data.

Employment history verification is something the government is in a good position to provide.
So how do text then?
Even still, HIV are so small they will still be a grain of rice or smaller.
The article calls out, multiple times, that the reason people were fired (all 24 of them, with another couple hundred contractors being flagged) were because they were moonlighting. It says nothing about their performance, except in the vaguest of terms ("weren't logged into the VPN enough" for instance), and the fact they were initially flagged to be investigated (presumably because of performance, but again, no details; certainly nothing to differentiate them from the 975+ that were investigated and not found to be moonlighting).

Which is an interesting admission on Equifax's part. An investigation of over 1000, including interviews and the like, literally thousands of man hours...to find 24 people who had jobs on the side, but whose performance wasn't poor enough to warrant being let go in and of itself.

Tells you something about Equifax's priorities.
Enough to do in terms of work that is directly assigned to me/my team; no not always.

Enough to do in terms of stuff I've found that needs doing; always.

I guess I'm lucky to have a degree of autonomy that lets me shape a percentage of my workload towards stuff that just needs to get done, so I never really run out of stuff to do. I find the biggest challenge is actually finding stuff that needs doing and also motivating/organising myself to actually do it.

Moral of the story; if you find you've got nothing to do then go out and look for stuff to do. Have a look at stuff like ticket backlogs, documentation that needs doing/cleaning up, analytics, bug reports, feature requests etc.

I'm sometimes surprised that no one thinks about doing this at all. You can watch thousands of people do something and think "if only we..."

It's particularly maddening if the rest of the sentence is "put that information online" or "shared those updates somewhere", because the solution is dirt cheap to build. Hunting information is an expensive waste of time.

The flip side is that sometimes, things are done a certain way for a reason that's not immediately obvious.
Even I have stuck with mac for last 3 years. before that I mainly used windows.
100% agree with you @jesterson.
You have evidently not seen the cost curves of renewable energy sources. They have declined through many orders of magnitude, with no end in sight, similarly to transistors following Moore's Law. "Will be" is exactly what policy needs to be based on. Policy based on "what was" is policy failure.

You are very confused about this "category 1". Literally nobody advocates for any measure that would interfere with economic prosperity. Action preventing climate catastrophe and collapse of civilization would discomfit only those heavily bought into the petroleum economy.
If they knew it was just going to be a free trial, maybe everyone involved would have rejected the premium terminals. I wonder if the premium terminals are even faster when there are so many of them clogging the network.
The study also says females are much more likely to be affected by “Long COVID” than males, just like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. So they seem like similar tricky conditions.
I think I realize what is what the real problem here is. Meta is hellbent on recreating the real world in the Metaverse, when really it can be so much more.

Yes the characters look weird without legs, but they didn't need to be real legs that can dance around and kick. Who cares about legs. Who cares about walking when you can point where you want to go and teleport there with a click of a button.

The avatars don't need to look like real people, they don't need to walk around boring office spaces and do things we do in the real world. They could be so much more.
I am sure a company like Microsoft has quite a few unique needs. So just getting everything implemented to even be in a position to dogfood would take away development time which could be better invested to improve the experience for paying or potential customers.

The departments are also not the same, the developers might be happy to have a customer like Microsoft but the hundreds of people using something else today really don't gain anything. They would have to retrain and take on a huge migration. And for a system that has grown for such a long time you can be sure that there are a lot of undocumented edge cases for weird business needs.

Smaller companies have burned millions trying to move off SAP. And there is nothing Microsoft can do or learn to make the migration to their product easier because it's all business problems, not so much technology. Their potential future customers aren't billion dollar companies which are on SAP today.
100%.

This is an excuse. But, interestingly, it was an excuse for 2% of the people they investigated.

So apparently being a poor performer at Equifax, but NOT moonlighting, is not a fireable offense, since the other 98% weren't let go. Or they were, and this is just a propaganda piece in service to corporations (it is Business Insider after all). Either way, I feel, not exactly a great look for Equifax (like they have ever looked good), since either way it's still a waste of man hours spent to justify firing people they wanted to fire anyway.
So if it helps, it's not a framework.

Kind of like Scotsmen. ;-)
So outlaw planes?

Ok not literally but I do wonder how scaled back they could be before affecting day to day.
I don't understand your reply or why you downvoted. I said this as genuine grammar feedback that I assume most people would accept kindheartedly and fix.

When I originally read the comment I had no idea if it was a genuine comment, some kind of summary, or a legit quote from the article. Quotation marks exist for a reason and would have prevented this (and still can: it is possible to edit a comment). I was trying to be helpful, not negative in any way.
I actually see this as a good thing. The market got flooded with bootcamp dudes. I've nothing against people who are self-taught or changed careers (I am one). But many of the "developers" joining the market are really only interested in making a quick buck with as little effort as possible. (and adding a whole new range of buzzwords too).

The Tech industry is not going anywhere, though. We are still in a paradigm shift and companies are going to need software more than ever. Here are things that I'm now extensively using, that I was barely using 3 years ago: Food/Items delivery, eWallets, Apple Watch, Airbnb, Web3/Crypto, Discord, Streaming services, Dental, DNA Testing.

While many of these were used by people here for longer than 3 years, many people haven't shifted yet; and their shift is going to trigger the need for more software. There are still a lot of things that can definitively benefit from tech. One example I can think of is health care. Finding a doctor still require the old ways. You medical document is not necessarily transferred between countries or updated by your doctor. There are no apps to track the medecines your doctor gave you, etc...

Tech is still slowly making its way into our everyday life. The Web3/Crypto/Bubbles are really just distractions for this long-term trend.
They use the Doppler shift of emission lines in the starlight to find exoplanets, due to a planet pulling its star around their mutual center. To the tune of measurement precision in the realm of 1 m/s! It's all pretty wild
I have a tangential question for you:

Why are you looking to move away from Keycloak? The company I work for currently uses the hosted Okta solution and is looking at moving towards Keycloak.
At my local IKEA, they've made it so hostile that you there is no path to go back out the front door. Right when you enter, there is a one way escalator going up. They do provide an elevator for accessibility, but there is no call button on the second floor to go back down.
If legs are tricky, how does WOW and second-life have them, though?
If your parents are 5' tall, can you grow to 6' with proper nutrinion? We have all this data, and it would be trivial to find out whether height is about inheritance or environment, but I'd be stunned if it's the latter.
You don’t believe there’s currently any correlation between merit and pay?

You may be able to use a debit card but they'll need to be able to put a large hold on funds. I ran into this years back when I graduated college; I had a credit card, but it was secured, and the amount the rental car agency wanted to put on it, outside of the fees (the actual fees were being paid for by my place of employ as part of my relocation package) was too high to put on the card, and they refused to rent me anything. I still refuse to use that rental car company to this day.

It’s always the simpler answer, and as you point out looking at the sum of potential incentives usually points to the simplest solution. That being incompetence and laziness, not a large organized campaign of corruption by the wealthy elite.

I highly doubt the people engaging in PPP/Covid fraud are the typical power players in gov. Those people steal money through much more legal means like gov grants and contracts that end up costing 4x and taking 2x longer.
This post is without context, but I assume it is regarding the fact that Linear experienced (is experiencing?) a prolonged outage today and this particular link redirected to their new home page's design in Figma, where you could see a chaotic cloud of cursors belonging to everyone else trying to file a ticket.

> It's only Narcissistic when the victim gives up something up in the process of becoming your dependent

Narcissism has many facets and takes many forms. It is not only narcissistic under those circumstances because it is also narcissistic when the victim is berated and scrutinized in order to make them more pliant to manipulation. This is counter-example strictly proving your rigid definition incorrect.

> a very entitled (and I daresay Narcissistic) interpretation of charity.

This is ad hominem fallacy. What I described is not charity, it is intentionally creating reliance in order to cause instability when support is removed, and it is common enough to have its own idiom: pulling the rug out from under them, meaning to suddenly take away important support.

> If you give a desperate man a dollar, you don't owe him the rest of your wallet.

This is the fallacy of weak analogy. Yet similarly if one gives someone $200/month for years, then a common law arrangement develops, and one then becomes responsible for continuing to provide that monthly support. If without justification that support is intentionally and permanently ended, one is guilty of willful desertion and/or criminal abandonment. The victim is not entitled to the rest of one's capital, only continued support upon which they have become reliant due to one's free actions.
Or Walmart etc.

Maybe 10 years ago, I bought an Ikea dresser for my bedroom and spent too much of a Saturday assembling it. At the time, I had some buyer's regret for not just having splurged on some expensive hardwood piece. But know what? It looks nice enough and does its job just fine.

And I have a couple modernish Ikea chairs in another room which look quite nice and are very comfortable.

I'm sure Ikea has bad stuff and better stuff and I only go every 2-3 years but don't really have complaints.
>Somewhere out there is an unemployed person being rejected from jobs or not getting interviews because this service is providing an incomplete or erroneous employment history.

Relax, you can give them any employer you ever had, not just your current one. To get my record I put in a previous employer who doesn't even exist as a company anymore.
"Had" to buy a 3090 at msrp during the pandemic, because everything else had big markups on it.

It turns out, just being able to max everything out, have raytracing, and play at 4k/60 is just a much fancier but vapid way of accessorizing playing videogames.

I really enjoy it though :)
absolutely. Just like any other technology, the potential can be used for both good and evil
Looks like something a code review should have caught.

That said entertaining story, and glad the fix stood the test of time.
Considering many F500 have old crusty mainframes deep in the bowels of their core operations… who wants to deal with that stuff. The stories I could tell from doing security consulting engagements and peering into these abysses. HN is a bubble about this stuff and loses perspective some of the time. The cool and sexy engineering might end up funneling into a harder to reach place, but meat and potatoes software maintenance and engineering that keeps big business going is not going anywhere. The things and languages we are inventing now will take decades to penetrate and replace the things deep in big business right now. Never mind the horror that is operations software like SAP.
I'd love to see CUDA benchmarks.

I do want more RAM, though. That's more important than more speed.

Trump fired people that investigated him for any weak reason he could. He fired multiple FBI directors. Investigations aren’t a conspiracy as you get a day in court and Trump had many of his team go to jail after being convicted in a court.
Yup, tailor the cover letter, gave a generic CV. Most don't read the cover letter, but it's a serious advantage with those who do.
That may already be the case. Bots trained on prior data will generate these statements without reading the article, because that's the most popular position, to the point of being nearly brain dead. Most of the comments stating 'AI isn't capable of X' are extremely ignorant - often to the point of not reading the article they are commenting upon.

What is your definition of materialism? Do you not consider the physical environment, nutrition consisting of literal, physical atoms to not be part of the material conditions that affect the life and development of an organism?
Newbie question:

Which tool would be the best for assembling distinct documents from a large of pre-written paragraphs/sentences. I frequently need to write a set of docs with extensive cross-referencing, however, (a) the exported output docs needs to have referenced paras/sentences 'inlined' into the final version, and, (b) 'locking' the exported output docs should lock all the paras used by that doc while leaving the remaining ones editable.

Thanks.
I felt like I wasted time reading this. It was someone with a terrific network talking about how amazing he is (yet with limited substantiation how that translated to success), with shitty DALL-E artwork interspersed between paragraphs. Yawn. Been there, seen that.
Forth can be interpreted but it can also be compiled in at least two or three different ways. Forth is unique in that its interpreter can look (and perform) a lot like compiled code.

Let's say you have a list of assembly language function names FOO, BAR, BAZ, etc. Each name stands for the starting memory address of that function. Each function ends with a standard RET instruction. At address PROGRAM, you store the list of 64-bit function addresses. Now a "Forth Interpreter" is just

JSR-INDIRECT RP++
REPEAT

where beforehand you've stashed PROGRAM in register RP. Most assemblers don't provide an indirect JSR instruction but it's easy to write a macro that serves that purpose.

Is this an interpreter? The only way it differs from true compiled code is that the function calls are indirect, so it's almost as fast as regular function calls.

What if you unroll the thing so the code looks like

JSR FOO
JSR BAR
JSR BAZ
...

Now all the function calls are direct. And as a bonus, all the individual functions themselves don't have to do anything more special than directly call functions. It's turtles all the way down.

I've glossed over some issues like how to pass values and how many stacks you need and proactive tail-calling, but that's the gist of it. The whole "interpreter" just vanishes in a puff of smoke.
I'm mostly on board with this. Although to be frank, I don't give a damn about PR's. I only care about commits. Because commits exist in the codebase, PR's exist in a platform (GitHub, gitlab, email). I've moved many code bases to different platforms and that history is more or less abandoned, especially if it's a hosted solution.

Side note;

> Linter fixes and updates after code reviews shouldn’t be their own commit.

Agreed. Unless your codebase wasn't previously linted/formatted. Then it's better to have them in a separate commit. Ideally before the change. Reviewing diffs that mix white space/formatting changes with logic makes me want to poke pencils in my eyes.
Yeah ok so here you go.

Philosophically, GDP is an useful economic metric because it proxies economic activity and in your framework, economic activity is up, we are just paying for it via trade imbalance, which great, I love that foreigners will trade us goods/services for debt/assets. Hard to call that a recession (which again is why the 2 quarters thing is dumb).

So circling back around to "my original point was correct and you were overly pedantic and actually just criticizing GDP as a measure" since imports are why GDP is down relative to the amount of economic activity that is happening (which is what should define a recession).

Also the Dunning-Kruger quip was unnecessarily rude and uncalled for given the circumstance. I hope it made you feel good.

EDIT: You agree that, in aggregate, the amount of consumption/investment/government spend are up, right? GDP has only declined because we didn't make all of it, which, sure, maybe a long-term problem, but irrelevant to a recession.
I work in a big company as one of the more experienced guys in the department. There's definitely more work to do than I can do. Some coworkers work hard to get rid of as much work as possible by putting it on other peoples desks. In the mean time I've become efficient in being assertive and saying no to anything I don't like doing (and which is not my responsibility to do).

So you say you don't have much to do at work? Are others complaining about that? If not, good for you. It's better to do less, but do it well, than the other way around.
In some cities a mere 25$ license to panhandle keeps you on the up and up.
Same, if we’re going to talk about Linear I’d also like to say it’s probably one of the best webs apps that does one thing really well. Any tool for organizing teams of programmers should be a) dead simple and b) extremely performant. Which Linear does both.

Probably one the fastest web app around, given how it preloads all JSON data from all sublinks on the page, so it loads immediately when you click on any links. It performs like a native app (assuming it’s online :p, it has offline support w/ the Mac and browser apps for plan B)
In their defense, board seats are not a full time job. The commitment could be as little as a few hours a month or quarter. “Partner” could also mean quite a few things, such as a partner at a venture firm for example. Which also may not be a full time job.

The difference here is that as an employee you commit to provide 40 hours of service to your employer. From the stories I’ve heard of these double jobs, this isn’t a weekend job working at the local coffee shop for an extra few bucks which doesn’t impact your primary responsibilities. Instead it’s a professional job with overlapping hours. Which means an employer isn’t getting what they paid for and these people are deceiving them.
This was both shocking and not surprising at all, all at the same time.

It’s worth noting how cloud vendors have fallen back on tried and true databases such as Postgres (mind you, often replacing the guts of those databases with new implementations.. but still).
From what I’ve read, it seems to be cloud hacked data placed in a laptop and deliberately turned into a partisan repair shop in an attempt to wash that it was hacked just like DNC/Podesta stuff.

Thus the media treated it as hacked attempted manipulation.

That said, everyone knew about it and it’s not exactly news that Hunter Biden, like many in that world, was trading off his father’s position and had a drug problem. Indeed, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was targeted by our enemies to be compromised. Any high level executive’s kid with a drug problem is low hanging fruit for kompromat.
Oracle seems to be optimized for profit. Maybe the workers should unionize.
