It is the de facto scripting language in the EDA world unfortunately. I agree though. Terrible language. I initially thought this was going the other way round so you could write your EDA scripts in Go. No idea why you would want to use TCL when you can use Go.

I briefly worked on a WASM to TCL transpiler so I could write EDA scripts in Rust. Got it kind of working but WASM is actually quite large and TCL integers in the version I was forced to use (thanks PowerArtist) are completely broken so it ended up being not worth it.

> is it the motel's responsibility or the police's to deal with them

Moving past how KiwiFarms hadn't actually broken any laws, let's say for the sake of argument that they had. And that this motel chain owned 40% of rentable rooms across the globe, and a handful of their friends owned the remaining 59%, with 1% belonging to small independent moteliers.

If you leave enforcement to them, then you've effectively privatized policing. Do you want a private police force? Wouldn't that represent a union of state and corporate power, i.e. fascism?

This. Also, as a contractor you can generally be let go with no reason and little notice (also depending on the contract).

Of course that cuts both ways; if you have multiple clients you can also jump ship quite easily.
I spent about a year and a half building a product that was impressive in many ways but ultimately got almost no users.

The mistake we made was that we didn’t understand our target users well enough. I realized that we needed to spend a lot more time as “journalists” and “anthropologists” working to understand a certain group of people and their problems than as software developers building solutions.

As I’m trying to find startup ideas these days, I find myself asking, “Which groups of users and which communities do I actually care about?” For me at least, that seems to be the engine that will sustain me over years of trying to build a company.
this article reframes the recent trend in psychiatric into psychedelics in a bad light:

> Understanding the undulating history of psychiatric hype and crisis is crucial today as the profession builds toward its next trend: psychedelics, already heralded as a “renaissance” and psychiatry’s “next frontier.” These two histories demonstrate that the academic and corporate pursuit of such hype [...] resulting in significant psychological and bodily harm.

this articles ignores the unfounded claim: that the real purpose of the APA was not quite to heal, not after ww2.

> We also have not had any significant breakthroughs in treatment.

They even say this, which is as nazi social control as it gets.

> psychiatrists in the 1970s who pathologized Black activism as “psychosis.”

oh, and what Bush said in the 90s? I suppose all that went into marketing, and later on (i.e. nowadays) into 'engagement' metrics for online content and so on. so, as I said, they're not trying to heal you, they're trying to make a buck same as everybody else in a capitalist society/marketplace.

now all that scientific progress is being used in an information war. as war crazy as it gets.

I wondered what is this “community-based” mental health care that the author advocates for, and how is it different from psychiatry. Are psychiatrists not part of the community? It turns out it refers to “dream-work, breathwork, herbalism, and meditation.”

> First, we evaluate, for each voxel, subject and narrative independently, whether the fMRI responses can be predicted from a linear combination of GPT-2’s activations (Fig. 1A). We summarize the precision of this mapping with a brain score M: i.e. the correlation between the true fMRI responses and the fMRI responses linearly predicted, with cross-validation, from GPT-2’s responses to the same narratives (cf. Methods).

Was this cross checked against arbitrary Inputs to GPT-2? I gather, with 1.5 Billion parameters, you can find a representative linear combination for everything.

I actually worked at a company, acquired by oracle in mid 2010s.

I ended up leaving seeing how it took 5 proctologists, 37 lawyers, and 3 engineers to meet and make decisions when it only needed the 3 engs to begin with.

The stats of the M&A were usually only 1/3 of the acquired company’s staff would stay on w/Oracle. While this layoff probably doesn’t map geographically with the Cerner M&A, not surprised with some minor team restructuring.
Your comment seems to assume that 1) employment levels for software engineers is the same in India 2) that the OP has overstated the social stigma of layoffs in India, and finally 3) the current employment landscape that you find yourself in will last indefinitely.

Based on this, I suspect it's highly likely the hubris in this comment will not age well.

>>Also look at heat pump clothes dryers. They're a win in that you don't need a vent (and associated vent cleaning), but they cost more upfront.

They don't really work at low ambient temperatures, so as someone who can only have a dryer in an unheated garage, that's not an option sadly.
I also like that they sell stuff for so long that you can buy replacements when things break. My mugs are IKEA some of them may be 20 years old. Same for plates. Even cutlery, I managed to get a matching set 10 years after the original.
I just had a (Ryzen) Win10 machine with what turned out to be a faulty (non-ECC) DDR4 module fail. The user complained of random reboots every few days. It took me weeks to find the exact cause. Nothing in the logs was directly informative, and the machine passed all tests. Only a prolonged Memtest86 run found the problem.
My impression (I work at Google) is that internal interfaces to some of these services have a lot of Google-specific stuff that are hard to map to non-Google requirements.
@op - this is called having no empathy & simply not giving a fuck about anybody but yourself/very close to you. A lot of high class in the USA see other humans here as nothing other than walking meat bags to be exploited for all they’re worth.

I’m glad you’re concerned, and I’m glad your sister’s husband has empathy and gives a fuck. Completely seriously. It’s rare in daily life, let alone a medium sized business or corporation.
For context: Switzerland doesn't have evoting. This is just some big company trying to re-sell a evoting system to the government. It has been in the news a few times, due to software and cryptographic quality issues.
I disagree; it adds a lot to your bottom line. In fact, reading and reviewing code is one of the main tasks of a developer, perhaps more important than writing code.

It provides the possibility of not causing future 'your business' reductions to its bottom line. That's why any 'rules' to code review are so context specific and should be applied as such.

False. Every solution involves producing energy radically more cheaply than any ever before, with no chokehold by any gatekeeper. I can see why this would be unattractive to you, if it might interfere with personally raising your own standard of living relative to your neighbors.

I detect the sarcasm but others may not. As a thought experiment I present that any emotion can always be felt in the body.

If you feel nothing, no emotion or no sensation in the body then that is also a felt emotion in the body as a lack of feeling.
So you're saying you can't offer GDPR compliance because as long as US law isn't adjusted to restore the Privacy Shield guarantees, no US company can offer GDPR compliance, but you're providing best effort privacy guarantees and can offer GDPR compliance via self-hosting?

You should definitely adjust your messaging then because your announcement makes a big deal about your EU offering being GDPR compliant which it thus can't be. There's no such thing as "almost GDPR compliant". That's like "almost not getting fined". The customers asking you for hosting your service on AWS in Frankfurt were clearly misinformed if they did so because they thought it would provide them with GDPR compliance and it seems shady that you went along with it instead of informing them that only self-hosting with a non-US (and non-subsidiary) company can make them compliant.

I'm not a legal expert but this sounds like you're almost engaging in false advertising if you claim PostHog Cloud EU to be GDPR compliant.
I read stuff like this about AWS and I wonder what the guys over at Azure are smoking. I can deploy trivial architectures with ordinary resources and hit four or five “broken by design” issues and at least one or two Heisenbugs that aren’t reproducible in other identical setups due to fun things like “legacy” subscriptions — an invisible internal setting.
> Most developers have a lot of features to add and bugs to write, time spent reviewing other people’s work does not add a lot to your bottom line.

Does not add a lot to your bottom line? This is the mindset of isolated individual contributors rather than members of a single team that work on a given feature of the same product. Isn't this precisely what various agile approaches (scrum or XP in particular) are fighting against?

> In Europe where firing is almost impossible, hiring is a very tedious process.

I don't know where you got this idea, but, at least in tech, the most infamous 7 rounds of whiteboard interviews stories I've heard are from Silicon Valley, not Europe. The company I work for (a Romanian branch of a US company - and yes, Romania has all the same legal protections against t firing as most of Europe) typically does one tech interview and one HR interview and that's it.
It looks great, amazing work! One small issue is the way the filename is displayed at the top as if it's the title. It may or may not be. The way it is now is very confusing though because many other apps follow the pattern "first line is the title" but in some cases it won't be in Obsidian
That's like saying everyone hates going into that part of the forest because there's a grizzly bear roaming around so I should probably do the exact opposite. Look how many berries there are, and I wonder if there's any good salmon in that creek over there.

Definitely harder to lay people off when they know them. I can remember my dad not sleeping for weeks after he made it to management because he was going to have to lay off 5 friends.

--

That being said, I'm not sure the entire tech industry wouldn't benefit from less friction to switching - hiring is an insanely expensive and very low-signal process - spend 200 hours hiring a person and maybe they fit and work well, maybe they don't.

For employees, tech interviews are an insanely time consuming and stressful process where you know they aren't getting much signal. Not unusual to spend 20-60 hours in interviews for just one position. Look for a new job while you are employed? Hope you want 80 hour weeks...and same thing - no idea til you get in there what the culture is actually like, who was blowing smoke at you, if it matches your strengths...

And yet, still we continue down the same path of brutal on-sites, workers that feel stuck in a crappy job but definitely have skills to offer in a better place, etc

Not "probably" but certainly. Mental illness not just as a psychological or even chemical problem but also as an ontologically-inflected political one.
We shouldn't compare big SV companies with the rest of the world though. Of course companies that are in high demand have a lot of people applying at their job and have harder / longer interview processes
> The field of software engineering is so fungible 20% of employees losing their job is nearly meaningless in the current job market because you can throw and rock and find another seat to warm the next day. It's not like Ford closing a factory.

... In the US.

This feels like those addenda where medical trials keep on showing some clinical effect and people in the comments have to add, some clinical effect... in mice.

The US software landscape is shaped by a unique VC landscape that has not been reproduced anywhere else in the world.

If you have lived through the dot com bubble or the 2008 sub-prime crisis you will also be aware that funding can dry up as quickly as it is thrown at you.

At the moment at least in Europe I still see a hot market for contracting roles but for permanent roles it is in no way what you describe of 'find another warm seat the next day'.
> It took me weeks to find the exact cause

I guess people are too young to know this? But it was quite common in the old days to first check on faulty memory. And then it would be PSU, and Motherboard capacitor. Both are increasingly rare given how much improvement we have made over the past two decade. But faulty memory is still a thing.

No sarcasm intended. I genuinely don't think you can reduce the human body into parts without simplifying how it works. Humans design machines component-wise that way, but that is a methodology unknown to evolution.

Their wood products are made from some composite wood chips, MDF, with glue, or something (I’m sure someone will reply with the correct product names). Not only does it exude VOCs for months or years to come (again like McDonald’s, affecting your health unless you use indoor air filters), but the wood products often crack off at the edges.

Their plastic products are made some quality of plastic that is too thin. They don’t break in my experience, but I question Why they are so thin to begin with.
The whole article is worth reading. It's a tortured history of the failures of psychiatry, least of which is the DSM and worst of which is mass incarceration of blacks engaged in activism due to "schizophrenia," similar to how homosexuality was once considered mental illness. It ends too early with:

> "The fact is, if we didn’t have such a fucked-up society, I’d be out of a job." ... As historian Joanna Radin encouraged me to discuss in my undergraduate course on the History of Drugs, the question is not only, What is the right drug for me?, but also: What would the world have to look like for me not to need drugs at all?

He stops short of really exploring this concept. I'll paraphrase an old comment of mine:

Are you ready for me to diagnose your totally normal reaction to our shitty society as mental illness so I can get you addicted to mind altering drugs for the rest of your life? https://imgur.com/Jb1mJyx

Or as the social critic Dr. Ted Kaczynski said, "Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable."

The problem is, this is the only life most of us have lived, and so we cannot imagine it otherwise, like a fish who cannot conceive of a world without water, or even that water is the medium surrounding it. If our entire society is causing this, then what can we do? Wage slavery, oligarchy, attention theft by tech companies, disintegration of community from various causes. Life for so many people is crawling through glass Monday through Friday, then getting shitfaced on the weekend. Is that happiness?

It’s interesting that Microsoft doesn’t have this type of attitude as well for Azure, as they’re famous for their extreme care around backwards compatibility for Windows as well.

Perhaps it’s because Microsoft is still catching up with Azure, and as such prefers moving fast and occasionally breaking things?
Oh yeah, you’re right. In the US we mostly use the term “pension” to refer to the type where you only get benefits after 5 years of service, the employer decides where to invest the money, etc.

Are we sure it's that? They had even stricter rules when they were the economic miracle (1960-1990). I wouldn't be suprised if just crappy demography caught up with them.
"Philosophers call this “epistemological” uncertainty – uncertainty to do with lack of knowledge."

This comment hits a nerve.
I distinctly remember stories of USSR where anyone and everyone was guaranteed a job. People still remember chaos that ensued when that system failed miserably.

In retrospective, it kinda had to fail. Production, the heart of economy didn't have to listen to market forces. Market forces were banned. Nobody was laid off, but this was an illusion.

To paint even more grim picture, in the 1990ths when people were laid off, first time in their lives, suicide and drug epidemic was soaring. We need to normalize layoffs and tell people that that is going to happen anyway and not the end of the world. Companies will fail. This is normal, this is their function, fail small and protect big.
The spirit of the law is generally pretty uniform across the EU.
