To me it's entirely believable because I've been in a similar situation.

When hired it was my original manager to 2 employees; but it was obvious there would be some hiring. Which did happen.

Eventually it was 'too much' for said manager to be dealing with us on a daily. So he found a marketing person to be our new manager. He was lazy as well, so his contribution was more or less creating salesforce reports to track and grade each of us. I was constantly #1 so I didn't care but if someone went on vacation, they showed up in last place and would be chastised for poor numbers. Generally the team didn't like him.

Then comes the snitch sales person who becomes our manager, not above or below this other manager, but below the original. She tried to keep educated on the ongoing work, I dont blame her. Except about 1/3rd of the team refused to talk to her; they realized a pattern of her talking to them and them getting in shit an hour or 2 later. Personally I outright went to the original manager and asserted she's not managing me and if she is, please tell me right away. Because I was planning to instant quit. He of course said she's not and that I seem to manage myself fine enough, these other managers were to keep the team going.

So the team was getting a little angry with 3 layers of managers. What happens? A junior on the team proposes he becomes the manager and reports to the managers so they dont have to interact with the team. I had mostly excluded myself from this team by this point. It was a sinking ship and I wanted to be just far enough to watch what happened.

Now what happens? This junior basically was turned into the snitch on her behalf. He started getting hated by the team and decides he doesn't want the position anymore. So he orchestrates to be out of the office all day.

So then an outside management team was hired to figure out why this team was so dysfunctional. I was apparently uninvolved and never the subject of the meeting. But guess who is in the meetings? All the managers and none of the team. All of the problems of the team... obviously the team and not the managers.

I specifically again went to the original manager and asked about the meetings. He reassured me they weren't about me at all. That one of the primary discoveries is they need at least 1 more manager to manage the managers.
I never said anything about illegal, just front with VPN to your own physical hardware. But apparently he tried that and the VPN then shut him down, and ultimately he got DDoSed.

My take is distributed if not decentralized network.
The thing is, they don't see as well as humans. They don't respond to changes in the environment until a car is actually in the middle of changing lanes.

It's like being driven around by a drunk person - the reaction happens loooooong after the action that causes it has started.
It's much easier to debug and observe traffic (browser Network tab).

The DX for JSON things is much better. The UX for protobufs is much better (faster, less data over the wire, etc). Which you optimize for is up to you, but there isn't a straightforward "Use this tech because it's the best one."
I like that every windows exe/dll still have the MZ on the front. Also a working DOS program there in the first hundred bytes which is pretty much a program to say 'hey run this in windows'. As the real windows header is 100 bytes in.
1. Even if he'd be mad enough to put 60B in one bank(-account), it's strictly forbidden for anyone who could access such information to divulge it. In reality, people who need to hold very large sums of liquidity (which is a very rare requirement if you really think about it) use short term treasuries and/or the money market.

2. What's the relevance of Norways idiosyncratic laws in this discussion? In almost every other country in the world (including the most of Europe) the government / tax authorities consider such information strictly private.
If that exists, that user validation is all happening on the BE for Starlink, and while it may go down, there's no reason Starlink (assuming the actual engineering team survived in some fashion) wouldn't be able to cut it out of the loop or replace it.

I also have no particular reason to think that Russia would use their very limited ICBM stockpile to target data centers rather than military facilities.

The assumption you're making is that all of 7,500 of those staff are worthwhile staff who are worthy of being hired. I doubt it.

If the indication is true that Twitter is carrying a lot of deadweight, then Elon's purge is going to make Twitter a very lean and profitable tech company, not unlike Netflix.
Is there a Heroku-like service for any of the unikernels yet?
That definitely helps my understanding, and thank you for it. Based on my previous understanding, that the adhesive needs to be heated to release. Is this true of the newer models with the gasket, or only the older "glued" models?

When you say "we do replace it when we do repairs", do you mean that you place the original gasket back into location, or that the original gasket is replaced with a new gasket?
How much of this is due to not wanting build/pipeline servers getting abused for mining purposes?

People use SourceHut for a wide variety of reasons. One of them is confidence in our strong moral compass and our willingness to make the right choices even if it could impact our profit, as contrasted with typical VC-funded operations in the market. I've never really heard anyone talk about SourceHut offering particularly more or less "freedom" than anyone else.
I feel pretty confident the Sheika slate was designed around the Wii U tablet and they only cut that aspect of the game to make the Nintendo Switch version look just as good as the Wii U version.

If a Nintendo employee claimed it was to avoid distraction I'm pretty confident they are lying.
I interpreted that to mean that very large numbers of smaller weapons would have been used - probably with large amount of redundant targetting which seems to be consistent with Western targetting approaches.
That is happening for me only with games I didn't use recently.

However, we used play Fortnite quite often on both the Switch and the PS4. On the Switch it was ready immediately in most cases. If not, the update loaded and was installed rather quickly.
Compare that to the PS4: It's updated in about 50% of the cases. If not, downloading takes very long and then it is applying the update so slow, that we usually just give up.
No, each commit has its own changeset ID. The chain itself is tracked by Gerrit itself. I don't know exactly how, put I'm guesssing it's just using the regular git commit IDs for that. (The changeset ID is just so that it can identify patches long-term, even when their commit ID changes due to e.g. rebase, etc.)

> the history after the branch is merged

Regular commit IDs do that -- although it stores repos and full history, Gerrit doesn't really care about changeset-id's once they're merged.
I think it is mostly about motivation. Intuition will come with practice and will remain even if you forget some details.

Why limit yourself just to models that map well to everyday life? Everyday life sucks in a lot of ways after all, and imaginary worlds are intriguing. People like fiction.

In the case of abstract math, you have a world with varied and intricate structure but lots of real life applications as well.
Is a Thatcherite political columnist exactly an unbiased source? That self-promotional “law” is conspicuously unsupported by evidence and seems hard to reconcile with the hard right resurgence in various around the world.
None: the mining incidents stopped entirely when we started charging for CI and it stopped being profitable to do it.
Assuming your developer time is contained improved DX often also leads to better UX (more features). So even if you are optimizing for UX you may well be better with JSON.
No at least I find out quite appropriate of they spend less then 5% to support projects with similar goals as long as they have a surplus. I mean you are donating to the organization not the website and at least for me that had always been clear.

That the banners where misleading is IMHO they main issue with the secondary issue being the not so grate transparency for this external usages.

I would instead say that doing nothing is a political position in support of individual autonomy: users working on cryptocurrency projects if they think that's best, or working against cryptocurrency projects if they think that's best.
Here's how every contact I have with a recruiter on LinkedIn goes:

- 5 minute phone call to explain the position, get my resume and say they'll send it to their client

- silence

Maybe I'm just getting hit up by resume farmers pretending to be recruiters?

What I'm getting at is: if the battery isn't glued inside the iPhone, but is held some other way, then the iPhone is still really hard to get into to get to the battery.

In Tokyo Mirage Session you get text messages from the characters on the second screen so it's like you are glancing at your cell phone as you play. This worked very poorly when they ported it to Switch and you had to go into a menu when a party member texts you.

When there's top executive will to drive things ahead and to cut short bureaucracy, all those that you listed - though common - become moot. Especially when someone as driven as Elon is leading the fray. It's not like the changes will be as slow as with Tesla, where you have serious safety and regulatory issues to deal with.
Engineers use gaskets between two surfaces all the time in an attempt to prevent fluids from passing. Some of those gaskets will fail. Sometimes the failure is because the mating surfaces have been flexed in use. Sometimes it's because the device has been disassembled and reassembled. Sometimes there was too much pressure differential applied. Sometimes they're just defective. Yet, they are still serving the intended purpose of improving the resistance to water passing.

I don't see it as an indictment for Apple to put the pink stickers inside devices. I had a battery replacement warranty denied on my Macbook; said there was water intrusion. I was initially outraged until I recalled the time that I did actually get the laptop significantly wet (partially submerged) and quickly drained and dried it out and felt relief that "Oh, phew! It still works..." And it did still work and only several months later I noticed an unusual battery drain.
If you view compliance as overreach then I find it odd you think the EU has less of it. Strong consumer laws such as GRPC are in the EU and not in the US. Even in terms of corporate finance there's a reason everyone like Delaware corporations and it's not due to them wanting more compliance. The US has other things that could be seen as overreach but compliance is usually not one that people think of.
What's the solution to this problem? On one extreme end you can clearly state its intended use in documentation and allow undefined behavior, and on the other end you prevent the user from using the tool in any undefined way.

I'm generally positive about restricting undefined behavior at a lower level (syntax, undefined field accesses, etc), but at a higher level (writing large scale applications, using it outside of intended domains, etc) it's not very clear how and even if you should restrict unintended usage.

The more room you have for "undefined behavior" at a higher level, the more people can explore using a tool in various ways you never thought about. This can in turn be valuable feedback on possible directions to expand your tool in.
Your logic isn't really valid. It could be that the glue is indeed effective in facilitating waterproofing and was put in place for that reason, however not to the extent that Apple wants to make any promises that it will survive being submerged.

I don't know what the truth is, I just disagree with your conclusion based on the logic you present.
I am not sure if you're supporting, or opposing what Moolenaar does here. But a large difference is, that, although i am not sure if there's any sort of transparent reports available on the project, they don't ask "donate so I can keep working on vim", they specify "Donate to help poor Ugandan children"
Ask HN: Is there a platform to find experienced founders happy to mentor?
Does this exist? As a first time founder I'd love to be able to connect with experienced founders more easily than through networking events and I'm pretty sure that there must be quite a lot of people happy to share their expertise/ experience especially if they could see the focus topic straight away.
Gaskets? I'm not an iPhone repair shop but previous posts suggest it is a gasket with light adhesive.
For 99% of users it should not make a difference.

The link you included shows that protobufs are at least 15% better for all users, and as much as 57% better for cases where the data is small. Doesn't that mean for 100% of users it will actually make a difference?

Your users might not care about the difference but it will be there.
You don't even have to be creative. These charities pay friends who work as administrators in those charities and accomplish nothing.
Well, DLTs are supposed to abstract away the distributed-ness. The execution layer usually provides computational primitives, basic memory and cryptographic functions. Not much distributed computing there.

Problems with poorly supervised grants

See discussion last month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signp...

I've reviewed several grants and I remain deeply worried we are spending money on stuff that is a poorly disguised attempt to raid WMF coffers. A lot of grants are 1) being used for stuff that has ZERO connection with Wikimedia movement, 2) have little to no accountaiblity (people promise to do stuff, if they fail, I see no mechanism for money to be returned to WMF) and 3) seem to have very inflated costs (ex. one project I remember well asked for ~6k$ for open access publishing, whereas I know that the average costs of OA in this very field is usually under $2k, and a lot of similar research is published at no cost yet still using OA model). While I am sure some grants are being spent on worthy causes, the amount of problems I see here is very worrying. I am glad this issue is making more waves. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:44, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

The words "gravy train", "cash cow" come to mind.
This makes me legitimately willing to move to SourceHut and even pay them for it. Oh no, cryptobros can no longer clone a repo, run sed "s/RenameMeCoin/SuperDuperMassiveReturnsShitCoin/g' and run their scam on SH, what a shame.
The same way we find the disease: by the effects the aliens have on their surroundings.
That was my thought too on reading; those grants are a pretty small portion of budget (not even a big portion of surplus) so don't seem like a big deal.

But if I understand it right, they have a $50 million surplus on a ~$150 million budget? Why are they still fundraising so aggressively in such a situation? (Under some circumstances, such a huge surplus leftover can even make the IRS suspicious of a charitable organization's tax status, although this may not apply legally to the particular kind of organization Wikimedia is).
> We will exercise discretion when applying this rule. If you believe that your use-case for cryptocurrency or blockchain is not plagued by these social problems, you may ask for permission to host it on SourceHut, or appeal its removal, by contacting support.

It seems a lot of folks are missing that you can appeal if you can demonstrate your project isn’t (subjective and objectively) causing social problems.

I'm a paying member and a bit on the fence about the call, but I do feel a bit reassured that the topic isn't wholly banned. As the maintainer noted, inaction on topics is also political. Projects have been banned and not banned on other forges too, and I haven't seen them concisely laying out what is and isn’t ban-worthy. For instance: look at what happened with GitHub and the youtube-dl ban when capitalists in the media industry wanted it gone for piracy, but inaction allowing ICE repositories as folk cried out for a ban for being associated with human rights violations.

This doesn't prevent a team from self-hosting SourceHut or another forge either—or sending patches upstream. You can't say that about the most populated forges.
Would anyone know where to look to aquire that sort of monochrome projector?

And in general how to implement a camera->projector loop with that low latency / high frame rate?

I've been looking into a similar idea and have bodged together something like:
USB camera -> laptop (opencv) -> consumer LED projector (via Hdmi).
Probably unsurprisingly, latency is a problem.
also leads to better UX (more features)

More features is not a measure of better UX. In many cases (most cases!?) it's the opposite.
Nice, was just chatting with a friend last night that I would love to see a MirageOS equivalent for Rust.
i.e. "saving face".
JSON/REST does not declare its schema, it's like talking about type vs dynamic typed language.
Most of these grants are not even that bad - they're explicitly trying to foster the creation and sharing of knowledge about highly under-represented populations, which is clearly within the remit of Wikipedia as a broad community. But then you do get truly weird stuff like the $250k grant to SeRCH, an organization that purportedly aims to support minority folks in STEM pursuits. Unfortunately, that "support" seemingly involves posting obscure YouTube videos featuring bizarre rants about "hyperspace" and their "intersectional scientific method", whatever that is. It's highly dubious that this stuff can actually help minorities succeed in science, to say the least.
Yes...though I'd suspect that a fair number of folks here feel that their situation - job- and budget-wise - is pretty good. But that does not keep them from feeling bad about "the 99%", many of whose economic situations are going from not-so-great to ungood.
But how then does people working from home logon to their AD joined computers?

if you cannot expose the AD server to the public internet, can you then actually use windows in remote first organization?

Those servers have been exposed to the internet because if they weren't the organizations using them would be forced to solve the chicken and egg problem of how to authenticate the users against an authentication server they cannot access without authentication.
A single highly opinionated founder is great until it turns out that your opinions differ even slightly.

I’ve been enjoying Codeberg as a GitHub/GitLab alternative.
I agree the ability to easily repair is often at odds with certain features customers want. However in other cases it's not at all.

If I as a consumer at least could easily tell while I'm shopping, then I could make an informed choice. In aggregate that might apply some market pressure.

For example, I have a subwoofer from Samsung, part of a soundbar package. It died a couple of years back. I'm 99% confident it's the power supply which is integrated. As far as I can see there's no way to non-destructively disassemble the unit to replace the power supply.

Had the power supply been external, then it would be an easy swap. Had it been easy to disassemble the case, it would probably be an easy swap. But thanks to the integral power supply, and no service manual available showing how to disassemble it and no clear way how, it's effectively junk.
"Innovation" is not the end all be all. Yes, right to repair might marginally slow down certain innovations. In exchange, we get a livable planet where whose resources aren't exhausted. I think it's a fair trade.
So because they're donating to your political leaning, it's fine. Do realise that half the population leans the opposite way to you, and you'll see why encouraging more organisations to get political is a disastrous thing for society.

Remember, it's about the freedom to listen, not the freedom to speak. The censors in this case are wanting to stop anyone being able to read/see certain things.

If I wanted to see Islamist/white supremacist/Russian state/anti-trans propaganda in 2006 this was possible. It is now much much harder.

The Christchurch shooting is actually a good example about the type of thing that should be available on the internet but isn't. It shows people the brutal reality and actually gives a few clues as to how to most effectively fight a mass shooter.
He was sued into buying it for way more than it was worth. The first changed announced so far (in addition to printed code reviews by senior Tesla engineers) is to charge a subscription fee for verification.
> I have to note that light themes give me migraines, so I’m stuck with dark.

I've had that, too, especially when Windows 10 came out, and I was forced to use it. The full-on white, on a high-contrast monitor, was a literally painful experience.

However, as others, I much prefer having the same lightness everywhere. I hate switching from a dark background terminal / editor to a light background webpage, so I set out to mitigate this somehow.

So, I've started using off-white backgrounds when I use light mode. Solarized is a bit too orange for my taste, but many other schemes are available. I, personally, use Base16 Equilibrium (both light and dark).
Interesting stuff!
I'd argue that additional incentives (or punishments, if the carrot doesn't work) for manufacturers to use common parts would be welcome.

I have a Samsung fridge/freezer with a broken shelf because the parts of the shelf were held together with an insufficiently strong plastic clip. Imagine my surprise when upon research I discovered the fridge was discontinued and the shelf was unique to the fridge.

No other model had that shelf, it was like Samsung specifically used that particular plastic mold for this model purely to drive new appliance sales when it inevitably breaks.
Since we don't (yet) have a fundamental theory it stands.

Not only that but the shut up and calculate mentality is still the most dominant one within physics.

Should string theory turn out to be the fundamental theory then it's possible the 'Why' will be that's the geometry of our universe. Which is not more for filing than tweaked constants.

Unfortunately no physics won't tell us Why. That's a question for philosophy.
How so? The harassment campaigns launched from Kiwifarms seem like the opposite of rational argument. Do you imagine that going into Kiwifarms and engaging the users in rational debate about the basic humanity and dignity of their targets would be a fruitful endeavor?
