The server has a second NIC, but the switch has no more free ports. I briefly thought of bonding, but stopped when I read that the switch would need to support it (which it almost certainly does not).

But my point was that for my requirements, 100MBit are actually sufficient and FreeBSD still is a good choice for me, I was just being snarky about it. (I do find it aesthetically displeasing, though, that my wifi is now faster than my wired network, but I can live with that.)
I'd agree after watching this YT video by the Financial Times.
Suddenly having to pay import taxes led many companies to move operations to mainland Europe.

It's not really a tangential annoyance. I literally couldn't read the post because of the insane format.
Also, SA has "underperformed" as an internet platform- Lowtax notoriously failed to capitalize on the community and grow it into something bigger (and more lucrative). So it remains a large old-school vBulletin-style internet forum instead of a potential Reddit or even greater, albeit with its culture and soul intact.

I have a number of friends who all work at Stripe and this was definitely a secret circulating among the staff for at least the last week or so, like well beyond the "I wonder if we'll also have layoffs" rumors going around at almost every tech co right now.
You are correct. But it's not unfair to expect that one of the richest and most developed countries in the world would find ways around those issues.
Hopefully this image helps, because I am still not sure: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S00928674220091...

Glad someone else got stuck here. I couldn't figure out from context whether this is good or bad and looking up "glycemic response" still didn't clear up whether it's a desired trait or not in terms of sweeteners, health outcomes, and diabetics for example.

Speaking of filler, it seems the experiment in question didn’t control for that? Since there’s so little artificial sweetener is it possible the gut flora are reacting to the filler?
No one who does a days work in Britain thinks any of this is a good thing. It's largely generated by a far right party through a voting system that allows pensioners (a minority) to control who gets into power.
I agree with the overarching sentiment, which is to lead by example (even if you're not explicitly in a leadership position).

At the same time I can accept some nuance here, e.g. working nights and weekends because you're taking some time back during the day in the week.

Similarly with remote working, if there's a wide enough timezone difference you might shift your routine to maximise overlap with the team.

I'm strongly in favour of maintaining harmony between work and life such that you're able to comfortably do both, but would not insist on a hard and fast rule.

If someone even further up the ladder says X does nights and weekends, so should the rest of the team, then the buck stops with that person, and they are contributing negatively to the culture.
I know that there are _plenty_ of other electric car manufacturers, and electric cars would eventually become popular, but Tesla making it happen _n_ years faster is an overwhelmingly good thing.

There's also a lot of potential (depending on who you ask) for autopilot, although I think it was a mistake to switch from lidar to pure computer vision. Time will tell.
The Tories had better hand over government to Starmer quickly, because there's no possible way they can blame Labour for this one. Blaming Brown and Blair for everything has already gotten extremely long in the tooth; in a few years, there will be voters that will have never lived under a Labour government.
It's nice that Twitter allows you to switch modes. Normally I'm in chronological mode, but I can go to the mobile.twitter.com site on desktop too, and that is in the "Algorithm" mode. So it's pretty easy to just swap and see if I'm feeling in the mood to let the algorithm discover new things for me / catch some interesting replies or likes of people I follow / etc. It'd be interesting to go full power user with more customization and easy swapping, but such features don't tend to last if they ever get implemented in the first place...

Thanks for the image but to me personally it only raises more questions. If sucralose "impairs glycemic response", then why does the line go up more aggressive on the "glycemic response" chart? Is having a higher response bad? Do I want my body's glycemic response to be as inert as possible?
Ignoring UX for non-technical users is a narrow lens.
They'll do it. And plenty of people will eat it up. Because they don't mind losing, as long as others lose more.
I know, but so far 100MBit is sufficient, actually, I rarely move Gigabytes of data around. When it becomes annoying, I'll get a new switch, but so far the pressure is really low.
This is pretty well understood and documented.

The breakdown of the lactose in the colon, and the resulting acids and gases that are produced, cause the symptoms of lactose intolerance, such as flatulence and bloating."

... and more democratic than several countries we're quite buddy-buddy with (Saudi Arabia comes to mind immediately). "Isn't sufficiently democratic" is not and has never been a reason we're sanctioning them.

Their seizing capital (including, IIRC, foreign-owned), cold war proxy bullshit, and domestic politics (a bunch of Cuban ex-capitalists ended up in Florida) are the reasons, I'm pretty sure.
I think it is. Firing is horrendously expensive, so most companies will follow a progression of cuts before resorting to layoffs. They'll typically start with perks (e.g. travel / team entertainment / office space) and then progress to a hiring freeze, and then move to layoffs.

In Stripe's instance it seems like they went directly to layoffs. I heard that they did institute a PIP process last year but not sure what percent they cut.
After hearing a lot of praise for Arq here, I tried it out hoping it would become my new Windows backup solution. (I'm looking for a linux one too, but Arq doesn't do linux). But I was very underwhelmed. The user experience for browsing file versions in time was not really there. If I recall correctly, I could only browse by snapshot. And it was extremely slow for just a few gigabytes. The backup process didn't inspire confidence, I was never sure if something had interrupted it or what the status was.
Why does every company need to look towards an "even bigger vision"? What happened to just running a company well without causing instability.

So what I’m hearing is that ads are moderated spam. Yeah, I can see that.
No, the US is not imposing secondary sanctions on Cuba (that's where we force every other country to sanction someone we want to sanction). We do impose such sanctions on other countries such as Iran.
I am suddenly seeing articles about multiple US tech companies doing layoffs / pausing hiring on HN as well, not sure why and how all this relates....Has global recession started???
TIL. Thanks for this.
Are they brave enough to take the immediate loss for what might be a longer term strategy ... that may or may not pay off?
If having a VM/GC is acceptable then C# is the overall best language/framework today, meaning that it ranges from good to great in everything: Web, Game Dev, Desktop Dev, Mobile etc.
Otherwise there's no general contender. With C#, these days you can go for unsafe code and dealing with native code in safer ways using new/ish features of the language: Span/Memory, refs, ref attributes etc. Or just use good old pointers directly and manage everything yourself.
The way I look at it, there are many issues facing many economies at the moment. What Brexit did was remove any contingency that might have been available to ride out the storm.

Would user scripting necessarily even require access to an embedded language, or would simply choosing an architecture for your game like using a message bus and allowing users some mechanism to send in messages be enough?

That said, I still think that this kind of feature is a non-trivial amount of extra work to polish up enough even for advanced users.

Amazon freezes corporate hiring amid worsening economic outlook
>I think it's unlikely rates will continue to rise for an entire year.

Where do you get this idea from? Especially since the Fed has said over and over that they are going to do exactly that.
You're making much more concise arguments now, I think that makes the discussion more useful and interesting.

I would take the position that it's self evident that if you take the 'training data' away from humans they also can't compose music. If you take a baby, put it in a concrete box for 30 years (or until whatever you consider substantial biological maturity), and then put it in front of a piano it's not going to create Chopin. It might figure out how to make some dings and boops and will quickly lose interest.

Humans also need a huge amount of training data and we, at best, make minor modifications to these ideas to place them into new context to create new things. The difference between average and world class is vanishingly small in terms of the actual basic insight in some domain. Take the greatest composers that have ever lived and rewind them and perform our concrete box experiment and you'll have a wild animal, barely capable of recognizing cause and effect between hitting the piano and the noise it makes.

That world class composer, when exposed to modern society, consumed an awful lot of media for 'free' just by existing. Should they be charged for it? Did they commit a copyright infraction? Why or why not?
But hey, THEY GOT BREXIT DONE! Poor dumb mfs... But to keep things in perspective, they fear 6,4% unemployment by 2025. Spain is currently at around 13%.
Stevia and Xylitol seem much less disruptive to your gut than sucralose or saccharin, but I'm not an expert.

Even a world-class nutritionist can't tell you what their effect on you will be with certainty. The only way to be sure is to cut them out of your diet for 6 weeks or so and see what happens.
Declining but still overall at all time highs. A recession might happen, but we aren't in one right now.

The UK is essentially three entities: the city of London (a wormhole to a giant offshore tax exile trusts network) and a quasi sovereign state, the Crown corporation and the actual sovereign state.

The money being siphoned off by the first two entities are largely immune to the oncoming UK nation state recession and are heavily invested in increased stateless globalization.

...Is it? Or is it loaded with debt masquerading as cash?
Since the argument was so well-structured, the interim detour to climate related topics was odd. The very argument was that spam can be detected by posting behaviors, yet the author engaged in those for his favored topic.
≥ To begin with, your video is only going to be shown to your subscribers.

Not the case for me. I have two channels. One where I post stuff and another where I watch stuff. The channel that watches stuff subscribes to the channel that post stuff. It almost never show my videos. I have 303 subscribers and 7 views on my last video.

YouTube is broken as heck. At least 10% of my subscribers should be shown my videos.
You may be doing it wrong, no sarcasm nor insult intended. You shouldn't be sitting down and racking your brain to generate one from scratch. You build up a set of functional templates, then poke over the templates for which one happens to fit this video best. It's one step up from the classic Mad Libs game [1], except you can tweak the stock phrases a little bit, too. I fully expect that all the biggest YouTubers either have, or have had, a literal list of title templates to use. You can of course build your list up in about 15 minutes of doomscrolling YouTube. (Possibly without being logged in.)

The clickbait is the result of an evolutionary process. You can't beat it de novo, you can only harness it.

It's one of the reasons it's so infuriating to some of us. "I Clicked This Link And You Won't Believe What Happened Next!" + Shocked Face is so easy it's almost insulting.

A friend, who is a diesel mechanic, just went through the diesel emissions timeline with me very recently.

EGR valves -> DPFs -> DEF

I understand the necessity of these systems, but it seems like they are incredible fragile (the DPFs on VWs are prone to cracking and new ones are more than the average cat). I also understand why people do DPF deletes...
It's not just the government companies need to fear, it's also other companies. Kiwifarms wasn't taken down by government action, there's been a massive conspiracy between a combination of criminals and infrastructure providers to try to kick them off the internet on the orders of journalists.
Rclone is like rsync for the cloud, you can sync files to a google drive or other service. And like CCC it can archive deleted files as a saftey net. I love the simplicity, no deltas, snapshots or restore procedures, the files are just there on the destination.
Having a boatload of cash does not guarantee success. Elon positioned himself well to compete in areas that would receive those subsidies, and then used that money to create rocketships and electric cars.

I'm sure you can find _plenty_ of examples of people spending billions less effectively, e.g. the city of Boston spending $22 billion on a tunnel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig

I'm not saying he's a genius or unprecedented, just that he is successful, and that his success was not guaranteed.
I might go to a shop, but I'm not going to fiddle around with a screwdriver and a YouTube video for something manufacturers themsleves let you do in 5 seconds.

However, that does not leave me with workable alternatives. I respect what Fairphone is trying to do, but €500 for a replaceable battery phone with internals several years old isn't the right choice for me.

I mean... it can be tho? The case can be made that Capitalism creates horrible problems which cannot be solved by capitalism. The statement that Capitalism has created some of the most prosperous nations in the history of the world is also a true statement?

With all due respect, IVM has been proven to be a scam treatment with no benefits to COVID19.

If you're still on the IVM hype-train, you've been left behind in this discussion. It is known not to work on COVID19. Its efficacy in treating parasites may be well known, but COVID19 isn't a parasite, its a virus.

As Mark Twain has stated: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled". But hopefully it gives you some perspective on the matter. You have been fooled, and you will remain fooled as long as you're holding onto IVM illogically.
Powell should make fed policy based on not losing his job. That is how jobs work.

I'm not commenting on president Trump's comments or Powell's response to them. Just pointing out that we should expect Powell to align with the executive and that doing so is not "political pressure," it's just normal.

The part of the housing crash that I was inferring was hidden to most was how deep the credit markets were tied up in housing, to the point where a housing bust meant banks collapsed and all money was frozen.

I was young(ish) at the time, but I imagine some knew housing wasn't sustainable. I'm not sure there were many outside the stars of The Big Short quite knew how vulnerable the entire banking system was because of housing before it all came down.
The poor will suffer the most, as has always been the case since the beginning of times.
Presumably it's in reference to the case against Harvard currently before the Supreme Court: https://www.npr.org/2022/10/31/1131789230/supreme-court-affi...

The whole world is going through a down turn, however, the UK will likely impacted harder and longer. We gave up a trade deal with a very large trading block, the EU, and haven't been able to make up for this by having trade deals with the USA, China or India so far. The few wins, trade deals with New Zealand and Australia, are mostly symbolic as the impact on the GDP is expected to be small.

A trade deal with China looks unlikely given the current political climate. Trade deals with both the USA and India are fraught with political risk. The USA wants to be able to export GM food to the UK, out pricing UK farmers that were reliant on EU subsidies until recently. India is after a deal on immigration and this is even more contentious.

Trade deals will eventually be signed, however, almost certainly won't help to shorten or lessen the impact of the current recession.
It's not really about finance brain. It's about where are you, as a smart, talented programmer, going to have an impact? For the past ten years, ALL of the major innovations in the software field have been based on GPGPU. Learning how to program GPUs is thus a core, foundational skill if you want to contribute significantly to the biggest innovations of computing. And of course there's so much else to learn on top of that, particularly in terms of math and algorithmic techniques and stuff.

Messing around with Raspberry Pis is kid shit by comparison. It's fun, but it's not going to advance much of anything. The Raspberry Pi is literally a "get kids into STEM" initiative, and yet it's used mainly by adults who want to cosplay as "makers". And even then, eventually they usually end up in a drawer.

If you want to mess around, Raspberry Pi game consoles are fine but if you want to make a significant contribution, time's a-wastin'. If the rocket takes off and you're not on it, there goes your chance. So yes, set a time limit on the kid shit. Put it away by age 20 or so, and start thinking about what really matters and what's really gonna change things.
Voluntary layoffs has happened before in other companies.
