So, the economic value measured for a piece of code drops if fewer people buy the product that it's in or its price has to be cut, entirely separate from how fast anyone is coding. Similar logic applies to a lot of sectors, not just software. Macroeconomic changes are going to work their way back to these stats eventually, independent of any changes in how workers spend their day or the concrete stuff they produce. (Kind of like stormbrew and nostrademons said!)
They have the option to keep looking in their job search if they feel like they are not being valued enough.

If they interviewed around and all offers they received were around ~120k, then it should be a wake up call that their expectations do not match reality.
Yes, it's a little difficult to picture (or maybe you might fundamentally disagree) -- but it's like there a literal being, God, that constitutes all of this (I also associate this with the idea of an 'omnimind' -- that all consciousness are literally a part of a same mind). Also, the coherence with Christian (and maybe Abrahamic in general) traditions makes it an interesting interpretation of ethics in the sense of there existing a God in a literal sense (and other premises of those traditions being consistent in this framework). I recommend reading or taking a course into Spinoza if you're interested, because there's more than I can describe without writing a little book (although I think some of the conceptions I have are fairly original -- Spinoza afterall lived in mid 17th century).

To get a feel for an expanded mind, think about your cellphone (or PC or google, etc.). Some of your memories are stored in your cellphone. So in a very real way the digital world is an actual extension of your mind; think how some of our organs (like hair, or maybe cartilage etc.) are not living tissue yet we consider them part of 'us'. The definition of 'I' is in a way functional, and maybe more completely related to agency and information coherence. In a literal way also, Nature doesn't distinguish individuals. What is 'you' here is, as far as we can tell, a large amount of flowing interactions, which are not singular. What is 'you' is influenced by an entire past extended lightcone; what is 'you' does not live in a single moment in time, but is indeed distributed in time and in space -- 'I' is an abstraction over a cosmic soup -- a very useful, interesting, and important one, but nonetheless it isn't physically fundamental. What we are fundamentally changes in time as well -- you are fundamentally a distributed network of events, not a singular entity. In this way the fundamental distinction of individual seems to fade, and validate a greater distinction -- the maximum distinction is the one encompassing all that exists (i.e. Spinoza's God). In a way, you might call it just another way of seeing things -- just like the 'I' or the self -- but it can in the same way be interesting, useful, etc.. And again it fits the traditions in a way (this is also an insight of Buddhism but the interpretation is different).

I would love to have some pointers to the higher dimensional algebra you're referring to.
Land is a finite resource, and developed land in a useful location all the more so. While speculation might skew an areas value somewhat, the cost of purchasing, developing, and maintaining a property would definitely not be zero if renting were abolished. There are still going to be lots of people who can't afford to buy outright even if costs went down several percent.
Microsoft is building a game service / cloud monopoly in front of our eyes, them buying every studios possible and pushing FOMO/FUD about their potential acquisition hurts the industry and should be a warning for the EU antitrust

Worse, they don't innovate as much as Sony (handheld consoles, controller with haptic feedback and VR for example)

Microsoft is pumping billions into their services to buy studios, seduce developers and selling the console as a $200 loss [1]; and yet players are not interested if we look at the sales data

Activision should remain independent; Microsoft has billions of dollar, they don't need to take the industry as a hostage to enforce their poor culture to everyone

My (relatively uninformed) understanding is that they are only able to charge these markups because of a similarly "all time" lack of inventory, leading to scarcity of vehicles to sell. The increase in transaction value isn't making up for the decrease in transaction volume.
Focus on what you can control

Elon wanted to back out and the executives finessed him masterfully. Everyone with vested shares is a recipient of a $44,000,000,000 cash infusion into the bay area economy, while media stupidly focuses on cliffs and parachutes that wont be paid.
I came to say the same. I’ve had long encryptions keys printed out as QR codes and it works surprisingly well. You can still have the text of the key, but the QR code makes it a much easier process.

Especially in a situation where you won’t be around to help troubleshoot.
Yes, I've done this with bitwarden which has the option to grant full access after a grace period.
Neither Mozilla nor Apple ever finished the implementations enough to even enable them, and they aren't being worked on.

That doesn't seem like a lot of interest as far as anyone can tell. The main interest has been from Facebook and Adobe, afaik.

If it's wrong it can be redone later. It isn't a blood oath never to reimplement it.
Yes. Nerds are people who show more than normal interest in non-mainstream subjects like Beyonces haircut.
WARN Act just means you have to give people notice. You can revoke their credentials and tell them to stay home while the 60-day clock runs. You just have to keep paying them for that time.
This is a really good point about how we myopically understand the value stream of a process. Often, steps that we feel are bureaucratic waste provide a lot of value to someone else in the process.

With that said, I think most healthcare is correct to take a "patient centric" approach. What the OP seems to be making is a "doctor centric" take and, if one was to be overly cynical (I'm not), your post may skew to the side of a "researcher centric" or "societal centric" approach. Doctors should do what's best for their patient, not necessarily what's best for society, or themselves, or a lawyer, or a research lab. It's easy if you work in one of those tangential areas to take your eye off the ball.

> Have you ever thought that maybe all of these governments are corrupt

Have you ever thought that the very government that claims EVERYONE ELSE is corrupt, is the actual corrupt one?

I mean, 80% of the world is corrupt. But, the one country that invaded and murdered everyone in the past 80 years, is not.

Does not that sound like crusader mentality in itself? Literaly religion, in which ONLY their faith is the right one and they are the only 'true' believers, smearing and attacking everyone else?

Except, the difference is that actual religion (christianity) is today replaced with 'democracy'. Because real religion does not sell anymore. Otherwise everything is the same - false preaching of the values of the religion without adhering to them and all that.

> Maybe that Russians are raping in Ukraine

Germans didnt rape in Belgium. Iraqis did not rape in Iraq. Gaddafi's soldiers did not rape in Libya. Russians are not raping in Ukraine. CHINA'S SOLDIERS WONT BE RAPING IN TAIWAN. Yes, that's the next thing. And Taiwan thing will happen JUST because the US wants to make it happen and its already arming Taiwan to use it as an attack dog against China. Then it will turn around and blame China for attacking unprovoked. The behavior pattern of a scheming, backstabbing, psychopatic bully.

So, no apologies: believing the same lie after THREE times is just dumb. That's it.

The ONLY reason why this establishment - the Angloamerican one - which is historically famous for this lying, smearing, backstabbing conduct...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidious_Albion

... is able to keep lying and keep doing the same is because people like you give them the benefit of the doubt and forgive them EVERY time. Just because you identify with a few things that they say, or the establishment.

> Either way, it does no one service to defend evil

Yeah. It doesn't. Except the only ones who incessantly scream about everyone ELSE being evil and even inventing lies to smear everyone are the Angloamerican establishment. First, the target is smeared and vilified based on peripheral, tangential 'offenses' based on whatever dominant cultural paradigm rules the Angloamerican public discourse. After 4 to 5 years of smearing, lies are possible now, because the fools who were conditioned to believe that the targeted country is 'evil' will also believe the lies, thinking that 'they are evil, so they could do something like that'.

Its the 1000-year-old religious smearing and persecution mechanic, that runs on lies.

If you allow an environment in which liars can get away with what they do, that's what you end up with. Because, it worked in Ww I. It worked in Iraq. It worked in Libya. Syria. Nicaragua. Vietnam. It worked EVERY time. Why the hell they should stop lying when it just works.

...

You, the people who believe them instead of persecuting them, enable this.
The point of social networks is the network. Those short-video apps share to other networks.
Mainly because many companies now have policies that will only communicate three things about former employee: time employed, ending salary, and eligibility for re-hire.

You might make an assumption from the last item, but without specific details and by the time you might be confirming employment the ineligibility for rehire likely will not disqualify the candidate…especially if other former employers have you tagged as eligible.
Interesting but I am not sure stating that you use the same supplier Tesla uses is necessarily a positive. If Tesla can't get what they need you will definitely not get it and if it comes down to Tesla getting it or you getting it, Tesla will be the one to get it. The small guys often get sidelined when a bigger customer shows up with lots of cash and this was before we had a global supply chain issue.

There are a few Kickstarters I backed that had huge delays because their suppliers drop them for a bigger customer or delayed over and over because a more important customer wanted something now.

I'm guessing that it's a compound assignment.

/^(.)/ is a regex match with a capture group. Perhaps this produces a list or tuple like ("a") if the buffer starts with "a", and that becomes the value of $fc.

So that is to say, maybe ($x, $y, $z) = /(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/ breaks down a string like 123-334-559 such that $x gets "123", $b gets "334" and $z gets "559".

I did a very small amount of Perl 4 programming in the mid-to-late 1990s.
lol, the local telcos with some independent sim manufacturers had a small chance to keep the network auth process secure from terminal manufacturers, now whole world telcos private keys belong to big tech software...

Nice "tour de force" from big tech (blackrock/vanguard = google/apple/microsoft/etc).
I agree, from a ringside commentary viewpoint; for general chatter on a forum, that’s too much to demand.

I think that I’d have preferred a detailed analysis of the hundreds of messages for one patch broken up into segments and assigned categories. For example, and this are made up:

15% of messages stemmed from mis-application of Intel/AMD assumptions to Apple Silicon.

Because doing so without naming names, in an opinionated manner, would really help make or break their point. It would also provide ground for the “read all 15,000 lines” viewpoint: either one is arguing that the assessment is improperly conducted, in which case you would need to conduct your own and provide that — or one is arguing that the assessed categorizations are not the correct ones to use, which is a separate useful debate that does not require reading all the messages.
The board and C-level also have a shared class interest (and, so often, personal relationships) with their peers at other companies that tends to outweigh any personal ethical interest they have in the wellbeing of their employees. If it doesn't gain any actual competitive advantage, better go with the option that keeps your old schoolmates and future business partners happy.
> Why are you framing this as a hypothetical scenario? They’re already doing it, and have been doing it.

I framed it as something hypothetical because it hasn't happened yet, they haven't censored something international, at least AFAIK.
This is from 2 years ago. Did something change recently?
I was a pretty lightweight developer, coding mostly in Powerbuilder and Visual Basic. What I really enjoyed was getting to know the language/platform deeply and being able to deliver full stack solutions quickly. Back then the client would hook directly to the DB, so you created the UI using pre-built components, added some logic to the ui events and then ran the SQL to update the db. Felt good to create something useful in a day and since they apps were usually for internal company use, you would work directly with the person's who needed it.
Contrast this to the very successful information operations by the US and other western nations prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and continuing through the present. Basically every false Russian claim has been countered with nothing more than truth, all the way back to countering Russia's claim that they weren't preparing for an invasion with information showing they were preparing for an invasion. I wonder if there's any reason in particular that this was more successful other than it wasn't particularly controversial in the west and that it hit the cultural zeitgeist
Random. As a vim+tmux user I have a bunch of different tmux sessions + tabs open. Having different colors for different sessions help me stay oriented.
Awesome, thank you for your work, all of you. I am not easily impressed but I think Zig is THE next big thing.

I think the EU tried Linux and LibreOffice. How'd that go?
And what happens when the government fines the media company and then it comes out that the lie was actually a truth? Will the government refund the media organization and make a public apology? Will the person who wrongfully fined the media company go to jail for violating the first amendment?
I like Agile in theory but you're totally right about there always being something else, no proper breaks, you fix or make several things and then two weeks from now you're doing the same thing again but a different feature or fix, pretty much no change in the pace of the routine, just go go go.

At least when I worked in fast food, sure there'd be the nightly dinner rush, but that only lasted about two hours, then everything would quiet down and you'd get to take a breather, take your time, goof off with coworkers, put a movie in the VCR in the breakroom (it was a long time ago), etc.

Usually I at least take it a little easy the day we finish a sprint, but I still have to 'report what I did yesterday' in the sprint meeting the day after, so I have to have done enough to have some progress to report the next day. And then it's off to the races again. It's fucking exhausting.

Isn't this basically putting everyone's life at risk? I can't believe this is legal.

Beyond that, definitely awesome though
In an absolute sense, it's a lot better now, but in a relative sense it's a lot worse.

30 years ago the production values on software were a lot lower, so that a single programmer could easily make something that fit in with professional stuff. My first video game (written in turbo pascal) didn't look significantly worse than games that were only a few years old at the time. I can't imagine a single self-taught programmer of my talent-level making something that could be mistaken for a 2018 AAA game today.

The other major difference (that others have mentioned) is information. It was much harder to find information, but what you did end up finding was (if not out-of-date) of much higher quality than you are likely to get from the first page of google today. I can't say if it's better or worse; as an experienced programmer, I like what we have today since I can sift through the nonsense fairly easily, but I could imagine a younger version of me credulously being led down many wrong paths.
That's a good point about computer skills, however I think that's the fault of the device/OS/browser vendor, and they're the ones who should fix it.

Most modern devices come with a setup process that guides users through setting up accessibility features. Extending that to installing third-party browser extensions is...complicated to say the least, but I think that's a far more effective solution to this problem than simply hoping that every website will adhere to some accessibility guidelines.

Web standards were created to be accessible basically from day 1. The user agent (web browser/client) is in control of how a website is displayed, and the user is able to change it however they want. Whether that's 10x font sizes, or increasing color contrast, it just takes a few lines of CSS (which an extension can add automatically).

> As a comparison, more than a third of people in LA county speak Spanish (http://www.laalmanac.com/population/po47.php). It would not be reasonable for supposedly public communications to be only available in Spanish for the #aesthetic, and to tell the 60% of the population that doesn't speak Spanish to kick rocks – and these numbers are better than the portions we're talking about.

I don't think that's a good example because government communications are different from private entities. Nobody has to eat at a spanish-only restaurant, and anybody can learn to speak spanish. If that restaurant doesn't speak english, then the free market will force them out of business... and if it doesn't, well, then whose to say it's not a good idea?

By contrast, a person missing both legs can't just learn to walk, so not having a wheelchair ramp is just fucked up.

> There isn't a professional service that exists to unbreak the display of websites that could just have been made properly contrasting in the first place, and... there shouldn't be.

Sure, but the likelihood of every website adopting accessibility standards is basically zero. Investing in a powerful set of accessibility tools/extensions seems much more impactful IMO than trying to coerce and/or force developers to adhere to some standards that are likely not a silver bullet anyways.
Why doesn't markdown qualify as a markup language?
Couldn’t or didn’t? When I worked IT at a real estate place, tenants routinely didn’t pay rent until chased up by the asset managers.
yeah i'm a little confused. Assault is illegal no matter what you've been told. You could be grossly misinformed yet when you assault someone you're breaking the law. The point is, don't assault someone because it is illegal and you'll goto jail for it. Now if you're so mentally ill that the law doesn't matter anyway then i don't see how information, bad or otherwise, makes any difference.
Or it causes societal damage already by people taking it too seriously. Like people used to believe that graphology was a serious thing and that using your left hand might cause brain damage. Those things got replaced by psychology

Unions in europe also seem far less militant than those in the US.
I recall that on one of my play-throughs as a kid, I got everything done except my characters needed to be level 8. So I un-virtuously tweaked the save file. (I think that was Ultima IV, but it's been a while.)

I also tweaked a later Ultima to not need the floppy disk in the drive. The budget copy protection had added itself to the executable and stored the real start address in a bad sector on disk, so I just patched the real start address back into the EXE header.
You should put Dr Phil in the Title so intelligent people can know to disregard.
The WARN act only means you need to give 60 days notice in certain types of mass layoffs. Given that Twitter hasnt done any mass layoffs yet, speculating on whether or not they gave enough notice under the act is a bit premature.
This is curious as post docs were sorta training positions in ancient times, picking up additional skills to make an academic or commercial hire more likely. For example, do a synthetic PhD and p-doc in a natural products group. Or mix computational and lab groups. Hence stipends and eased tax rules.

If it’s just a job and not training, then the profs can reject more candidates if they wish. People in jobs are expected to hit the ground and start running sooner, which might keep people from getting a slot. Still have to publish to show progress, and skimping on that will hurt future prospects.

Bottom line, if you want a “job” get out of academia.
EDIT:
I think you're saying that the overall compensation for workers was lower then (due to fewer sick days, all the things you mentioned etc) than now due to lack of regulation. What the stats say, is that compensation was actually much higher back then than now. You got paid 1/800th of a house per day whereas today, you get paid 1/5000th of a house per day.

The regulations I'm talking about that account for the cost of housing are things that allow builders to provide more cost effective buildings. Afterall what other inputs are there: land, cost of labor, building materials and the cost of dealing with regs (non-labor related).

None of the other browser vendors have implemented support for it and all the other browser vendors have supported the comparable AVIF format (which is live across the board except in Edge), so this seems pretty much a "noone is interested in this" type scenario.

Ecosystem doesn't mean a few fans on HN, in this context they mean "people building browsers".
The most important note of this release is that Zig is now self-hosted; it is capable of compiling itself.

I've been learning Zig as a side project for a couple months now. It's been kind of hard since I don't have a lot of experience with low-level coding and Zig is a bit less user-friendly than Swift, but the folks in the IRC channel (and yes, its primary real-time chat community is an IRC channel, not some Slack/Discord nonsense) have always been super friendly with this newbie, right up to the project lead himself. I really suggest you give Zig a look if you want to have some fun learning a new language.
Ok, people seem upset about this off by default support being removed. What is it that makes jpegxl valuable given that there’s already widespread adoption and support for av1, webp, etc?

Baring in mind that turning on jpegxl means exposing yet another image format parser to the web and the security track record of image formats has not been stellar.
