Apple delivers to Google some double digit percentage of search revenue ... Apple has a LOT of control over it. Not 100% perhaps, but a lot. I realise this comes from a different business line, but between the same 2 companies ... Apple can make Google lose A LOT of money if they wanted to.

IANAL, but my understanding is that these contracts are usually stated in such a way that what Mr. Musk is doing is not a breach of contract. If he was literally withholding wages then of course that would be illegal. But if the contract simply says something like "All persons who are employed by Twitter as of Nov. 1, 2022 are entitled to a stock grant" then firing people on Oct 31 is a completely legal way to avoid giving the stock grant. It may be a dick move but that is a separate question from whether it is legal.
I work for Amazon. We’re in office once a week. Over the summer we got an intern. I was in the office everyday with that kid. No one told me. It felt like the right thing to do. Didn’t want to set the poor kid up for failure. He did good. I miss that guy.

Render has this exact feature. They call it Pull Request Reviews. Was it not around when you were evaluating?
Its tragic how either/or git is.

Both are great in different ways. If Im trying to understand a complex tricky bit of code, a long string of small commits is ideal. If Im browsing a repo, large squashed commits or PRs are better.

It's be great to have better heirarchy, to get both.
Kind of cool for dirty cheap gear? But tbh the power draw on some of that gear seems to run 2x to 4x that of similar spec'ed current gen gear from mikrotik. Which after a year or three's service makes the low initial cost seem like a trap. Going from 11-20w up to 50w per device is substantial.

For absurdities sake, can run 100 switches in my home lab for same power cost as like 40 of these old gen and that's off a 10a single socket. Pretty darty. Makes plotting ghetto redundant power setups way easier.
For C++ the top end of the market is more like trading systems and the like than Google.

Thanks for the explanation. Very interesting! I assume you only do the DFS when you detect a lock ordering violation? So if there is the potential for a deadlock you'll do extra work to make sure that you're actually deadlocked before aborting?
Seems to me that SAFe like so many business ideas only exists because companies that work well without it may still work well despite having to use SAFe. Companies that don't function well are not magically turn into well-functioning companies because someone threw a book at it. When you can restructure a company from not-working to working order, it's not SAFe that did it, but someone with enough time and energy. At that point it doesn't matter if SAFe was involved or not, because that's just an idle wheel coming along for the ride.
> Zink has outperformed native GL drivers even though it introduces an extra layer through vulkan.

That is not the case here (Radeon RX 5700 XT, Linux), Zink is consistently slower than the "native" OpenGL. A quick test with Dhewm3 ("modernized" version of the Doom 3 engine) has the native driver running 1.5 times faster than Zink and with an engine of mine the native driver is ~4 times faster.

I don't have many games to benchmark on but in general Zink tends to be slower than a native driver, but depending on the hardware and game the difference might not be noticeable in practice (without an FPS counter). In the future when hardware is faster than today it might not make much of a practical difference even in benchmarks.
Awesome, that avoids downloading and running executable code from the Rust project!

It was released to production by Netgate in pfSense. That's why they threw such a hissy fit over it when the code quality was revealed and blew up publicly.
Private companies having a direct say in what products are allowed to exist is a big issue by itself. At the very least they should only charge what it costs them and run the app store as non-profit.

Obviously this is wishful thinking, but given how smartphones are a mandatory part of our social life, stores being a public service would make much more sense.
This is the explaination given by the originator of the story (from the article). As a parent, it's pretty clear to me that this was a story invented by a mom who didn't feel it was the right time to have a conversation about slave labor.

> In 1970, Toronto’s John McManus was my guest in Seattle. I chatted to him about what happened when I was a refugee in wartime Guangxi. The journey from Liuzhou to Guiping was by river, and there were men on the banks whose job was to drag the boat with ropes. There was also an overseer armed with a whip. According to my mother, the whipper was hired to do just that by the boatmen! My tale went the rounds, and it was seized by a number of neo-institutional economists. . . . However, this could be a story invented by my mother – the smartest person I have ever known – to entertain a boy of seven!
That is how I look at SaaS tools. If your hourly rate is greater than the months subscription it is worth it. In enterprise, just getting something hosted in a local server was hell, add in maintenance and the money is worth it.
Sigh. Sure. There’s 7 banks or so in the lending group, each with 5 to 12 FTEs touching or reviewing this deal before funding.

But sure, you’re smarter than them all combined, they’re wrong and underwrote a faulty deal and you’re right, particularly when having no info on the post transaction capital structure.
Yes! This is crazy to me. How can this not be a thing that has already been discovered and instantly fixed?
You can have both if you keep the PR branches
No, people said they’d never have a working prototype that was in any way useful or demonstrative.

And those people were right.
Okay. I wrote the driver for network equipment you very likely used to get this post to ycombinator. The same driver you used to order that Apple app store fitness/note taking/goal/... app.

Where's my 30%? Because the value I provided was critical to that transaction, to that experience, to the value provided. Others could have provided that value, but didn't.

I can make the same argument you make. But I'm not a trillion dollar company. That's the real difference.
AI art will be something different, and because it's so cheap it'll eradicate everything else (at least most of its mainstream exposure)
That's what's interesting, to understand what we're losing and what we're gaining.
I believe art is an integral part of our humanity, this radical change in art, will definitely cause a radical change in what it is to be human.
I personally tend to think it'll take current capitalistic trends to the extreme. Automatically personalized optimized art for purely hedonistic entertainment. This will be what we'll mostly experience.
We'll lose that fragile bridge between the islands that are our individualities that art allows. The transmission of internal mental process of one person, her unique one of a kind perception and expression experienced to some degree by another. As a way to communicate, not just to cause pleasure.

It's a huge loss IMHO. It's much more substantial than copyright issues and jobs. The artists positions in the article articulate this, for some reason quotes like: “Artists are not just a ‘style.’ They’re not a product. They’re a breathing, experiencing person,” are being read as artists being scared for their livelihood. Why not read it as it's written? As artists fearing for their humanhood?
I’m sure that did, as any of us would in their position.

Adobe should have anticipated this and ensures they had perpetual licensing in place. It’s ridiculous that the largest graphics technology company in the world have managed this so badly.

Frankly I don't know why Adobe haven’t either acquired Pantone at some point in the past or developed their own alternative standard. It’s such a blind sport for them.
As funny as this is, I don't think this is true.

I _think_ for policy reasons all of Chromes experimental flags have deprecation deadlines to ensure they it doesn't accumulate endless flags that eventually break. These deadlines can be moved.

The onboarding is pretty intense. It removes that work from the team, but there is just a huge amount of information that you’ll never see again.
This is brilliant. A long time ago when I worked on Windows video apps, I used to use Graph Studio[1] to visualize the video graph comprised of countless DirectShow filters. It occurred to me multiple times that such a tool would be super useful for ffmpeg as well.

It really helps visualize your filter graphs, especially when building complex video processing pipelines. Too bad this is not open source... I'd be more than happy to contribute.

Raise your hand if commits are mainly just a way to save progress. It can’t just be me.

I appreciate that needs differ between projects. In some public project I’d be more disciplined. But at work I just commit like a madman and collapse them all automatically upon merge.

I keep reading about them in the national news. A quick google for "Asian hate crime" gets me articles from NBC, CNN, new york times, the guardian, CBC, the Toronto Star, PubMed, the Brookings institute, nyc.gov, and justice.gov; that's just the first page.

I'd suggest your bubble as the issue, but you're clearly aware of this somehow. Did you learn about this on a news site that convinced you that other news sources are failing to report on this issue depsite evidence to the contrary?
A few years ago, I received a series of "class rules" through an instant messaging group. The list describes how everyday things are interpreted, depending on your social class.

At that time, I was part of an executive master program at a very prestigious university, it cost me a third of my yearly income and had a huge impact on my personal life and finances.

Reading that list made me realize in just a few seconds that I had been studying there for four years for a completely different reason than those around me. I felt heavily depressed first, then I realized it was actually possible to switch my expectations. I focused the last few months on building and strengthening connections, it completely changed my relationship with this university and the people there.

That'd be stupid, OpenGL is easy to use, very useful, provides a lot of functionality and in practical terms it is still the most widely available API across platforms (even if not all platforms give you the exact same functionality but that was always the case with OpenGL anyway).

I for one am not interested in writing the same graphics code across multiple OSes and OpenGL provides a perfectly fine API for my needs.
Has anyone seen use of a concatenative language, to build vocabulary for broader programming language implementation? So vocabulary for linkage and PICs and stacks and gc and threads and so much else. Not merely "I have this language, so I'll implement and tool it in itself", but moonshot "here's a vocabulary to start implementing other languages... all other languages". Aspiring to implement a C, a V8, an OCaml, and more. Perhaps with bootstrap aids on the side, like a Z3 prover. Sort of like a lisp machine approach, with an integrated commonality from low-level bit twiddling to OS to AI. But with a Racket or Poplog flavor of scaffolding language-like platforms on which to stand. Something like a forth bootstrap, but which doesn't stall out having reached forth, but keeps going, describing a richer and richer space of computation. Has anyone seen anything remotely like that?

What do you mean by this? His situation seems perfectly good - he has enough to live on without drawing down savings and gets to work on his passion project.

If we think he should get more in donations, we should donate more, I guess?
Yes, Tldr his mom told him the story and he does not know if it’s true.
From my experience it’s only spotty in densely populated areas that are oversubscribed.

> I used to read Nisargadatta to try and get sober, but it didn't help.

Reading is just another kind of attachment. You have to practice, even and perhaps especially when it seems challenging and difficult. Most spiritual traditions are very clear on this, including yoga itself.
The key world is "mainly". If things go wrong, you haven't just saved progress, but also saved history. That distinction is powerful.
Ember mug. Sounds like an absolute waste of 130 USD, but it really works, and means I can abandon my coffee for an hour or so (the joys of being a new father), and come back to it still almost as hot as I made it.

Since Rumi was mentioned as one of the messengers of "joyful" spirituality, just for the record, Rumi extensively used the story of Joseph (as told in Quran) as a metaphor for the journey of the successful spiritual seeker. A key element of that story was the fact of 10 near-murderous 'brothers'. Also the fact that 11 stars and the sun and the moon bowed to Joseph in his dream. Rumi's mysticism very much belongs to the category of spiritual schools that assert the existence of an 'elect of spirit' among humanity, who further require 'training' under the guidance of an adept (the Pir or Elder) involving great demands on one's will power and mental states. (Which was basically the guru mentioned in the article's point.)
That makes some kind of sense. The original post makes you sound like you're one of those crazy people who thinks e.g. Flatpak is fine but curl | bash is horribly insecure.

However I'm still not sure it really makes sense. Do you also manually review the code of the binaries that the bash scripts download?
All ad companies need to respect trademarks and allow opt-out of reserved terms as a first class feature.

It's disgusting that a competitor can buy an ad for your brand on Google, Apple, etc. and place their result before yours. This is especially harmful for new, up-and-coming companies.

I've had competitors buy ads in our name before. It's a shameful tactic.

It's beyond unfair when these monopoly-like ad companies spent hundreds of billions to co-opt the web and personal mobile computing and shackle us to this fate. It's the nightmare Microsoft and AOL once envisioned, yet now it's actually come to pass.

We already pay for domains and trademarks. We shouldn't have to keep paying protection money to defend ourselves when we're already having to jump through the platforms' obtuse rules and pay their outrageous taxes.

Trademarks should be sacred, and no company should be able to profit off of yours.
"Link to issue for context"

Just no...

Why would you decouple the change from its context? Just add all the relevant information to the commit message itself, so it's preserved.

I follow my friend's approach which works really well.

Too many a times I had to do code archeology to encounter archived Jira or some old space I don't have permissions for, that was originally migrated from GitHub issues and all the ticket numbers are in complete mismatch.
I'd agree it's not anything to the practice itself, but I would argue that it is something to a path to practice. Arguably, Elon Musk found out what happens if you commit to large purchases without due diligence. What else would make me think that it's even an executable algorithm? How do you get from non-belief to belief at all? Why investigate if the whole thing looks shaky or like some kind of weird scam just to invest society with morality?

A lot of religious trappings seem partially to function as theater, show, or advertising. This generates some interest without understanding. The first understanding and further interest will probably come intellectually thereafter.

The Dalai Lama has characterized one of the strengths of Tibetan Buddhism as laying out a complete path, no "missing steps." In his Introduction to Buddhism, he describes how a beginner might start out with analytical contemplation before meditation, getting familiar with the idea.

I think that understanding this sort of thing can help the thing scale. Quite a few traditions hold that you must have living transmissions of sorts, or need a guru. I think that serves, in part, to show in a living being that it is possible and not an act...but we don't have 3.5 billion spiritual masters to mentor 3.5 billion other people, and I don't see anything wrong with replacing a little trip or roadblock on the path with intellectual understanding. The traditions, understanding, and concepts all exist to create a workable path. Scaffolding doesn't have anything to do with having a building in the end, but if you want a building, you'll probably find scaffolding useful along the way.
Never attended a public high school in America?
Zero. Apple tries really hard to pretend they own the relationship between the user and the app developer, when in reality they do nothing to deserve it. Most app developers, Telegram included, treat the app store as a nuisance, pain-in-the-butt of an obstacle they have to clear to have presence on iOS devices. It provides negative value to them. All the discovery features are irrelevant to them. They do their own marketing and could as well have done their own distribution if Apple allowed sideloading.

You can't put screenshots in a commit message.

You also can't update a commit message after you've pushed it.

Agreed though that you shouldn't work like this if you can't trust your organization to reliably archive your issue threads!
Instead of downvoting I am giving my opinion: if you really believed this you would not be using version control.

P.S. I am assume you do, since you mention commits.
