I was with you for a while, as I do believe that no job ought to be considered permanent nor anyone in tech should ever be completely caught off-guard by large layoffs or even more personal firing/replacement/course change/etc.

But > you can throw and rock and find another seat to warm the next day

Ummm, nope, not everyone's resume is pristine or has a portfolio to share. Lots of immensely talented people are at companies far outside Silicon Valley, both the place and the spirit. Not everyone can point to some app or site for public consumption, lots of work is on internal tools or programs or DevOps that no outsider sees or knows about, or is protected by all kinds of non-disclosure and IP restrictions. Some great people have an awful boss who would never provide a recommendation. There's a million reasons why getting a new job can be hard, be grateful that it appears easy from your perspective but recognize many, many extremely capable and talented people aren't in the same situation.
In France, for example, you have 4 months (and you can renew it 3 more months so 7 in total) probation period. If you need more then 7 months to realise you've made a wrong hire, then I think you can spend take a few more months to fire someone and not decide to fire someone at a whim.
It seems that of all of the contracts that businesses sign the ones they are most keen to terminate abruptly is the employment contracts with their staff.

And changing jobs means you now no longer have the vast amount of protection you used to and have to build them back up.

It is primarily the elderly that benefit from the current structure

Society as a whole, but more specifically the businesses that do mass layoffs.

GDP per capita is an interesting number and I was quiet surprised recently when I compared US and European cities and countries. For those who haven’t the spoiler is the US is significantly higher. Most pro-EU economic narratives are on pretty shaky ground even before recent developments.

> So why did it then take almost another half a century, even with the increasingly widespread understanding of atmospheric pressure and vacuums, for a widely-adopted and practical atmospheric engine like Thomas Savery’s to appear?

> The answer, I think, is what it almost always is: that inventors are simply extremely rare. People can have all the incentives, all the materials, all the mechanical skills, and even all the right general notions of how things work. As we’ve seen, even Savery himself was apparently inspired by the same ancient experiment as everyone else who worked on thermometers, weather-glasses, egg incubators, solar-activated fountains, and perpetual motion machines. But because people so rarely try to improve or invent things, the low-hanging fruit can be left on the tree for decades or even centuries.

> In Europe where firing is almost impossible

Where exactly in Europe?

It's like saying "in Asia is almost impossible to do X"

Europe is a 750 million people continent formed by 51 different countries including Russia and UK

Be more specific please.

In Spain it's easy to fire, for example.

Their average salaries are 20% lower than the French ones, even though in France firing is hard, and their unemployment rate is almost double.

You theory has some flaws apparently.
> If you can be fired easily, you will find a job easily.

that would only ever be true in whichever fantasy world where the managers and people-in-charge made wise and just decisions.

Plenty of 'rare talent' that is near irreplaceable is fired every single day by managers that don't know any better, and their niche talents make it very difficult to find new job prospects.
Interesting, so you're saying there's some way we can run applications on a user's machine without using the cloud/edge/K8s/AWS?

There is no such thing as "objectively easy".

In Germany very small companies can fire people at will. It's effortless and requires minimal bureaucracy. Same for firing people in their long trial periods.

In other cases, the difficulty depends heavily on the situation. The easiest way is to simply negotiate with the employee. The other options involve more work

I think the typical line on this sort of thing is that you can contract someone for a set number of hours, but if you also dictate when those hours will be worked you’ve probably reclassified them as an employee. The other key test in the UK is the ability for a contractor to substitute themselves for another person to get the job done.
I do regularly look at dmesg on my Ryzen Threadripper system with ECC RAM.

Random correctable errors are rare but they do happen - at least if you overclock your RAM ("gaming" RAM often is already pre-overclocked). Might just be confirmation bias but I noticed ECC errors and then later heard there was a solar flare around the time.

I also replaced a DIMM that was starting to get more frequent ECC errors once. As OP found the mapping for consumer boards requires to some trial and error - my motherboard documentation even had a table but the numbering was different from the one used in Linux :/

I don't think I'm ever going to use a non-ECC desktop again, the additional cost is not that high for the extra safety against silent corruption.
Given our history, I think it's for the better.
Most startups doing these layoffs are not really solving any real problems. Many are wrapping up existing solutions in a better UI/UX. Which might be nice to have in an upcycle, but in a downtrend, will be the first on the chopping block.
The article goes into detail about how they are changing some of the maps into abstract diagrams, similar to a transit map (which is, I suppose, why the article is on a blog primarily about transport nerdism)
I would be very weary of changing such constants as this

19 should have been tested by a lookup table, there's no need to apply such heavy test to it

However, by changing that constant (if not properly verified) I'd worry it might change the primality test for some classes of numbers. Where this might be later manipulated to produce a weak key
in what way did it turn out to refer to those things? Community-based health care seems to me like a way of saying that mental health is connected closely to the community you are a part of, and that this community therefore can play a big part of keeping your mind healthy.

Which, I think, sounds very reasonable. If your work environment is toxic, the way to get better is to improve the work community, or find another community to be part of.
Oh I forgot that Org-Roam is different in this regard than Roam since it is based on Org-mode. I don’t have much experience with it, but you are right, it is less fixed like Obsidian.

However, I think Org-mode’s headings (*, **, …) have great nesting and folding capabilities that are more similar to the structure Logseq or Roam provide, but I don’t like having to create a heading hierarchy for my thoughts, so its not really the same.

My critique was more that the term “Outliner” does not really describe how I work with tools like Logseq and Roam, since I don’t really outline my notes/thoughts but use nested bullets more like a focus hierarchy that helps me to “anchor” them in the context of a previous note/thought (I hope this makes sense).*
You can fire people in Europe and hiring is by no means more convoluted than in the US.

Typically here you have 3 to 6 months probation period where you can be fired at any moment. Then your rights increase with your tenure.

The other big difference is that when you leave a job, you usually have 1 to 3 months of notice period while in the US that tends to only last a couple of weeks.

Overall this gives people a lot more security and I think we have a much better balance because of it, at least in the tech industry.

Industries with higher turnover (like hospitality) typically only hire employees as contractors so they can fire them at any time.
There are definitely companies who spend more during economical crisis. Because everything costs less and it costs less to expand your business.

Yeah, I remember a lot of AMOS-hostility from Amiga developers back then. Did someone actually write demos/intros in it back then or would the collective wrath of the assembly programmers be too much? ;)

(Along with AMOS, MUI was often a target. Quaint these days, given our current UI behemoths.)
It's a state owned company so it is kinda selling to itself.
Students can tell who's smarter and who's not, and someone at the same level of learning will always be far more of a peer than someone who happens to be the same age. All the available evidence is that the best thing for children's social life is to let them interact with people at the same learning level rather than the same age. (To say nothing of the fact that segregating students by age is unnatural in the first place, and traditional cultures where kids grow up around people of a wide range of ages are far better for their social development than the western school model...).

The human system really has only three inputs your conscious brain has control over (and they're almost all 'loose' controls). Loose controls meaning imagine feeding birds, you don't feed the individual birds you just provide seeds and let them figure it out. Your inputs to your body are rarely localized, you just provide signals and your body figures it out.

So, three inputs.

Energy input as food/drink, how fast you breathe in.
Energy output as what you do in the world and how much your muscles exert themselves.

The third input to your body is your stress response as interrupted by your brain. Stress in this case can be pain and discomfort, but also any other input or thought from your senses.

Your body doesn't know that a lion jumping out of the grass is terrifying, it just responds to your brain throwing terror seeds at it.

Your body doesn't know that seeing "23 53 34 78 and bonus number 5" means you just won the Powerball lottery, it's just responds to the your brain throwing happiness seeds at it.

Like you said, mental health can be systemic, but having bad inputs can stress you out as well. If your problem is mainly bad inputs, then you can control your response, just in a loose way rather than a tight way that we humans seem to prefer.
The thinner it is, presumably the easier it is to pack and load.

Flat-pack is all about efficiently making it easy to carry in the car, and also trying to shove as many pallets into a truck or warehouse as possible. In a similar vein, much of what used to be glass or metal is now plastic, because it's lighter and thinner and you can use the space saved to pack more into a pallet.
Isn’t that slavery with extra steps? What if I moved out of the country? This seems bizarre to me as an American. I’d do as little work as possible for that time and be resentful about it.
I just mean some element of 3d. Anything. It could just be a blue sky in front of you and the faces of goombas and blocks are coming towards you as you walk/run forward (maybe you call that 2d with forward/backward movement). You would have up/down lookaround as well (no side to side obviously). The real question is: could you build this "world" with only data from an .nes rom?
Not to say that Ukraine has good, easy alternatives to Starlink.

Nor that Elan is in anything resembling a comfortable situation. (Any bets on whether he's checked his food for Polonium-210 a time or few? Or keeps his private planes far, far away from possible Russian missile launchers?)

But if I were running the U.S. DoD, I'd be looking d*mned hard for some good alternatives to SpaceX and Starlink. Elan's recent behavior, especially his statements about Taiwan, suggests that he doesn't much care about faking the sort of "mindset" that you want in your mission-critical military suppliers. (Or he cares, but lacks the emotional stability to successfully fake it. That's hardly better.)
Gangsters of the Mediterranean (2017)
You are comparing situations with different factors varying, I was talking in the general sense that the two actions of hiring and firing are linked together, and you're talking about the current economic situation.

Maybe the employee got in in the first place because hiring and firing were easy. If you made it difficult, the employee wouldn't have been hired in the first place. Then it doesn't matter if you have an economic crisis, the person is out of job anyway. We need to let companies fire employees to survive the crisis, and let newly fired people re organize their life and create the companies that will compete and destroy the current ones
So, in that case, getting hired is hard, but getting fired is just as easy as for less in-demand companies? And also, in an economic downturn, the companies are free to fire people, but getting a new job will become considerably more difficult. So I'm afraid I don't really see the "easy to get fired/easy to get hired" symmetry that you talked about in your first post...

How many nation-states burned their best zero-days on this public intrusion test?
I'm a product of one of the shittiest public schools in my state. While I attended, they were forced by the state to convert to an "international baccalaureate" school because the alternative was closing.

I say that because yet, among my peers from that school, I count engineers, astrophysicists, doctors, IT workers, psychologists, pilots, and more.

So I would vigorously argue against the idea that students who attend underfunded public schools are at a disadvantage for life.

The biggest impact I noticed is home life and the involvement of parents. If you are a parent who cares and pushes your child, that is worth way more than the quality of the school as assigned by some ranking system.

Additionally, my exposure to a rough-and-tumble school with people of varying backgrounds (i.e., not a single socioeconomic stratum) gave me empathy and social skills that are extremely useful in everyday life.

I'm not saying your choices are wrong, but I strongly disagree with the premise that a less-than-ideal public school leads to lifelong negative consequences.
Why is TikTok hiring quantum physics researchers?
Big grats Paul, love innovation in this space and fully agree w/ your design decisions re: K8s.
I don’t know if it’s relying on science. It’s a somewhat tautological statement.

We are physical beings. All the processes happening inside us are mediated through chemicals. Most are assembled according to a building plans encoded in your genes and the building blocks come from your environment. Then obviously as the brain is the command centre of the body, it does involve the head.

Still, it doesn’t tell us much.

For all intents and purposes, we have shockingly little understanding of how the brain actually works. We know some chemicals have unexpected effects but we don’t always understand exactly how that happens. We don’t understand how memories are stored or recalled. We have some understanding of the feedback loops involved in emotion processing but that’s far from perfect. We are starting to realise that the processing happening in other organs like the digestive system have an effect on the brain but it’s not entirely clear which.

I think people generally are not humble enough regarding the level of actual knowledge we have reached in psychology and medicine.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we came to discover we had actually been missing something foundational at some point.
It's not necessarily the process, but more the number/type of open positions.
When it's difficult to fire, it's very common for people to start with a temporary contract or two before being offered an unlimited one. Likewise, I believe contractors are more common. Basically, anything that offers flexibility.

Also, companies are just more reluctant to open a position.
There is a tab in my cookie
That sounds similar to redundancy in the UK but much more generous.

It always possible to get rid of either an employee or a role. The problem comes when you're getting rid of a whole department or say 10% of your employees. There are a lot more rules around that.
> If your hobbies are math and C++ im pretty sure there is an entire world of code out there that most of us are not interested in or capable of and therefore that is your niche.

That is true to a degree. There are jobs which need a combination of C++ and math. A lot of those jobs require pre-existing domain knowledge though. Graphics engines, geophysics software, physical simulation software, computer vision, math software (e.g. working at Wolfram) mostly requires some preexisting knowledge of that field. You could pick one of those field and try to learn it on your own, but it will be a many-month investment and will limit you to just a handful companies in the world - each of those niches is small or very small. On top of that, you'll likely be making less than a kid slinging React.
I think it mainly applies to non-server systems where a) most people don't even know about ECC and b) non-server Ryzens can only use UDIMMs but there are not that many ECC UDIMMs available (probably just because of low demand) so you probably need to make some tradeoffs like paying more (more than +15% markup for the 9th bit) and won't have as fast chips available at the high end.

I think it is also not required for consumer Ryzen mainboards to support ECC but at least for the high end ones many do.

Consuming drugs is quite natural too.

THC and nicotine are neurotoxins that kills insects, worms or any parasite that our ancestors had trouble with. Since those substances seem to mostly affect positively mammals who have parasite troubles (a bit like sugar seems to affect mammals depending on the way they pace), the human reactions to those are probably evolutionary too, don't you think?
