Do you know https://www.cashgroup.de/ btw.?

This map is my pet peeve. Because after you've entered your PLZ/Zip or address, it doesn't even show all ATMs. You have to 'wiggle' the map a little, then others pop up. And depending on how you zoom in, they disappear again. Have to 're-wiggle' carefully. If you pan far, it takes time for the ATMs in that area to pop up, if at all. Again, 'wiggling' is needed.

And it still doesn't show one who I pass by often, know it's in operation, but is useless anyways, because: Dieser Service ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.

ARRGH! Trashgroup!

Edit: On FF with uBo off btw., just to be sure.

Edit: Can't get over it. There is one Bank next to my now closed Bank which had an ATM, which now has a sign to use the next one from Postbank, which doesn't even show up on their map, and which gives you the No Service message regardless.
This seems like an incredibly trivial example. If I remembered that example subconsciously, and used it myself somewhere, would that be an infringement of intellectual property? In any large code base how many such infringements are there? Many? Should we sue every software company on this premise?

Yep. And everything their sleeper agent Pottering wrote.
He hasn’t communicated with the employees. He has left them twisting in the wind. They’re finding things out from his tweets instead of through proper company channels. It’s unprofessional and disrespectful.
That is not universally true. Sometimes it works like that, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on the buyer and given that this particular buyer doesn't seem interested in respecting legal contracts, I wouldn't be confident that it will work with Twitter as you describe here.

A bit dramatic, considering these are widely food additives to things like gummy bears in similar amounts and stories abound about their effect.

A one time event is unlikely to do too much damage unless you’re already sick.

People should generally not be taking laxatives repeatedly for a prolonged period unless they have a prescribed indication.

> an osmotically balanced solution of polyethylene glycol, typically referred to as Macrogol.

It’s quite common in the US to do plain old miralax and G2 gatorade for outpatient colon prep. There is some controversy about this. But there isn’t much evidence that “osmotically balanced” (the whole concept of osmotic balance is suspect for an osmotic laxative - that works because of its inherent imbalance) has any meaningful benefit other than selling something that sounds good with little evidence.

People that get into trouble are typically abusing laxatives or have chronic kidney, liver or heart disease that put them at risk.

That won’t happen, they might get told to cut it out but they won’t get broken up. Microsoft is so unbelievably too big to fail that their existence is a strategic asset for US national security. SecureBoot isn’t some big ole scandal to cut out Linux, it’s a feature to protect the massive fleet of Windows boxes provisioned by various government agencies that got spun into a consumer feature.
People act based on circumstance.

If there is a lot of food, people will lean towards sharing their food, and helping others - even anonymously in a truly "altruistic" sense.

If everyone is starving, people will lean towards violence and stealing.

Does this "expose the rotten core within us?", or is it just saying we have the capacity for both? If we were truly completely rotten we wouldn't share in either case.

The fact is that environment and circumstance are inexorably tied in with our behaviour - a fact that we seem to wish to see negatively, our ideal being a perfect person who operates with true altruism in all circumstances regardless of personal cost.

Throwing our hands up and saying "go look at yourself in the mirror" is missing the big picture in my view, which is that if you want a good behavioural outcome, the environment and context of the behaviour is one of the biggest factor, and is a big target to attempt to improve. If more people are operating in a positive environment, you get more positivity.

Personal accountability, yes, is a thing, but is quite a lot more difficult to instil and improve from within a smaller slice of the world, like an app, and is more of a greater societal concern or otherwise would require propagation of an ideal with a reach that is quite hard to achieve through your app.
Ummm... no. Fully burdened costs is total cash comp plus between 25% and 35% as a general rule in the US.
You're a lot safer walking around a moving train car than a moving box van, even if you have hired a driver.
Near as I can tell, these ‘natural forms of competency and organizational filters’ are not natural, and never have been.

If they were, Nazi Germany would not have been what it was.

Also, baked into what you’re saying seems to be an assumption that if no one was prompted to start a fight, no one would fight. And that is true sometimes, with many people. But that is definitely not true of everyone, let alone everyone all the time!

The forms of social organization which are natural to us are easily directed towards hate of ‘outside’ groups, which can be easily constructed from any easily identifiable group of people with the right set of conditions. Even without prompting, it naturally arises based on visual identifiers and in many common environmental triggers.

In fact, near as I can tell, the only thing stopping larger scale movements of exactly that type is cultural memory of the death, destruction, and terribleness that results from it, resulting in active pressure against anyone trying to form a similar group. The ‘my grandfather fought a war against Nazi’s, you’re not going to be a Nazi’ type of memory.

Which fades with time, and isn’t natural to anyone?
All of Musk's companies have a reputation for being really sucky places to work. Interesting, but poorly paid, authoritarian and very long hours. It's suffering you accept to learn stuff and then leave, I've heard it described. Not a place to have kids.

Meaning Musk cannot rehire anyone who's left these companies.
There’s inherent safety built into this dream. Van life in the woods sounds dangerous. Your train is traveling at a certain speed at all times on a route that’s operated by professionals. You are also not utterly alone and there is a company that can provide some customer support. You’ll never have to make a stop at a shady motel or gas station.

Van life is a first class ticket to becoming a tidbit in serial killers life story.

Did you miss the part where we're talking about a 7 or 8 year old dipshit kid and an adult?

That store owner absolutely deserved to be humiliated. It doesn't matter the tiniest little bit about the kid didn't make an agreement first. I suppose you will now call the unsolicited shovelling vandalism and the store owner actually should have called the cops?

Do you not have any sense of perspective or context?

Jobs was pettier than Musk and by most measures and opinions he was also very successful in leading his companies --and so is Musk. Successful leaders aren't usually nice. Some have been and some are, but that's more atypical. Often leaders in order to lead to best competitors at times have to be harsh.
Difference is Amazon spent a lot of it on durable infrastructure (datacenters, servers, fulfillment centers).

I don't know how Twitter spent its money, but seemingly on undifferentiated software (i.e. not durable) or moderation? Both of which are recurring expenses.
>layoffs don’t consider individual peformance

This is not true. The way layoffs almost always work is the CEO tells their VPs they need to cut, say, 10% of their staff. The VPs tell their Directors they need to cut 10% of their staff. And so on, and so forth.

And everyone managing people at every step of the way has an unofficial stack ranking in the back of their mind, and they just cut the names at the bottom of that ranking. The person turning in half assed work while being obviously overemployed will be the first to go.
> There are always comments about "why do they need X,000 people" every time a company's staffing gets talked about. I guess we are finally getting an answer.

Yes, this is what people really need to be worried about. Not about Elon's policies ruining Twitter or whatever; that's the good outcome. The bad outcome is: what happens if Elon lays off 50% of Twitter, and a year later it turns from a floundering social media company that's not doing anything with its dominant market share into a profitable adtech powerhouse that rivals Meta and Google? If that happens, then your company's CEO is going to be laying off 50% of staff, too.
I don't know. It's not good that people are getting treated poorly - if anything, twitter should take more responsibility here. But if it's really "lazy developers" then maybe it's better if they work somewhere else and increase value for our society. Maybe some of them just went to twitter for the name and compensation but don't like to work for a corporate (like me for example). It's probably better for everyone if they go somewhere where they are happier and more productive.
> Also the ave. salary is going to be way more than 100M/yr/employee.

I find that very unlikely!

(but that’s because you made a typo)
It's typical for unvested RSUs to accelerate and vest on change in control. Based on the 10k, there were about $2.2B worth of unvested RSUs at the start of 2022. Musk's $44 billion likely covered some or all of that (or whatever % vested and/or wasn't already forfeited) so it's unlikely there is any real savings. Unless some of those RSUs converted to Private MuskBucks, then he may be saving something.

If you want to make these threads better just write about your own views, especially if they are not well represented by other comments. It helps a lot more than writing meta in the end.
> I see what you're saying, but I think this is a take that doesn't stand up to much analysis.

I don't think it needs to, nor was I trying to make any kind of argument of the sort. The (former) employees are going to suffer and pay the price for the past mistakes of the corporate leaders. It's a depressing situation even if it is the absolute correct action for Twitter to take.

For that reason, I don't think it is hard to understand why there are so many comments against the layoffs.

I like trains. And I wouldn't have to be the one driving - I'd be the one sitting at my dining room table enjoying my postprandial bliss.

Downside is you're limited to where Amtrak goes (or having to hire a locomotive and getting permission from Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, etc. to use their tracks)

If I wanted to go the van-life route, I'd probably order a B-Box from Advanced RV in Cleveland. They have more interior room than a Sprinter and are better insulated. Costs about the same as a railcar and currently has a year-long wait.

I no longer recommend Ubuntu for this reason to people looking to get into Linux for the first time for developer-adjacent reasons. My recommendation is now Mint or Pop_OS, as they are effectively Ubuntu without Snap.

Edit: I am not blindly against snap, or against its idea outright. I understand what it is for, and if it delivered on that without issue, I would welcome it. My avoidance of Ubuntu is due to having to repeatedly (and increasingly) help Linux newbies through problems, where lately all of those problems have wound up being based in snap.
Meaning, you were paying minio, now using wasabi? You weren't self hosting, right? If you were self hosting, I'm curious how wasabi is cheaper than minio.
There is another page <https://github.com/naver/lispe/wiki/2.5--LispE-vs.-Python:-A...> on implementation details that I don't get either.

In particular, the hash table apparently cannot have collisions, as "variables are necessarily unique". Sure, but there are only 64 buckets for 65,536 names, so it is further necessary for all variable names to be unique modulo 64, which can't be guaranteed. One option (which I believe CPython uses, more or less, by numbering locals and arguments) is to use De Bruijn indexes [0], but I'm not sure how to make it work with a tree-walking interpreter.

I'm also not sure how it is possible to come up with a reference-counting algorithm that performs "recursive increments", as an assignment X := Y only ever adds one incoming reference to Y from X. The example suggests the reference counts are the number of ways each value is transitively reachable, which is unnecessary and no one does that; Collin's original paper on reference counting [1] describes it as "a tally of the number of arrows pointing to [an object]" which is not transitive.

It's been clear for a while that Twitter only has the presence it has because it was the first out of the gate and not because they're actually good at what they do. Their talents seem to largely be the ability to amplify the most toxic aspects of both the left and the right at the same time.
That doesn't account for the lost ad revenue due to the rise of controversial content.

As it should... 40 years later and we're still talking about it.

Rolling the ball along the ground when a six was required to win made what was an exciting game into a farce. You want your team to win, but not like that. You have to question whether there wa some money put down on the side...

Same can be said for the batsman who walks. It's the right decision when you consider you want to win with no doubt as to the validity of the result. Maybe if sponsors required sportsmanship as part of their contracts you might see less of ball tampering and other dubious practices in the name of winning.

I will never understand why people push code to public repos and then complain when someone or something uses that code. Code that you want to keep private or make money off of should be private. Only publish stuff to the public that you want other people to see and learn from. All the complaints about attribution… who cares.
A private rail car with your own chef and other luxury amenities is inferior to a truck with a bed in it that you have to drive yourself?
It's also just cruel. Twitter employees must be feeling immense whiplash. First they were being bought out, then they weren't, then they were again, then a huge change in work culture literally overnight, now mass layoffs.

Elon Musk, it seems, does not think about the humans affected by his decisions. Regardless of anyone's opinions on whether the culture was good or bad, this sort of sudden mass loss of employment will cause pain. Pain that didn't need to happen.
Scratch your own itch with a side project. It doesn't have to be public, just a little project that satisfies your creative mind.
How did they seize b-ok.cc?
From that same article it says that he was banned for "Promoting, encouraging, or facilitating the discrimination or denigration of a group of people based on their protected characteristics". That is harassment, not expressing an opinion.

All you did was repeat the banned individual's own opinion about why they were banned. Of course, you are free to think Twitch is lying about its reasons for the ban, but you've offered no evidence of that.

According to that article, the individual also had a history of encouraging the murder of protestors by white militias on Twitch, so sounds like they had plenty of grounds on which to ban him already, and perhaps they finally just got around to it.

It undermines your argument to use someone like that as an example.

That is true, at least if you trust leaked discussions, however, this isn't an isolated example of Elon's leadership in action. All the points about the ideological captivity of Twitter employees are secondary to repeated behavior.

So is, "Don't talk open shit about your future boss" a point? Yeah, but so is Elon treating this process like an inhumane animal. The latter trump's a bunch of plebians with loud opinions.
I don't intend to come across as trite, but based on my reading of this comment I'm sure you'll find another satisfactory job soon. Relax and enjoy the time to reflect.

Pardon the snark, but I'm old.

And more complex at the same time. Now I need to do a silly dance to register a GUID with my BIOS so it can find an executable and run it for me (you did remember to add efivars to your kernel, right?), hold a vFAT partition around specifically for this case (what package has mkvfat again?), and worry about how the system maintainers will decide to "improve" what they think is wrong with this hierarchy.

Previously.. the BIOS would find a particular sector on what I told it was the "boot drive" and run it without too much concern over what, if anything, happened next.

And for this change, do I get a BIOS that's more helpful when there's a frustrating boot misconfiguration? A log to show me what precisely went wrong? The ability to save debug information in any relevant format? I could, but zero vendors in the consumer space are going to do that.

Now.. essentially, I just don't have to specify a "boot drive" anymore. Other than that, if you're bringing a system up from scratch, EFI has just as much "janky magic" in it that the old boot sector method did.

Mind enlightening the rest of us?
I once was on an Amtrak train that was delayed by 6 hours because of this crap. It started with a 2 hour delay while they were hooking up someone's private car, and missed its timeslots on the rest of the route, then the crew timed out, and the delays snowballed (and the train had a skeleton crew for the rest of the trip).

A few years ago, they banned this practice because of these types of issues. If they're reintroducing it, get ready for more delays and more completely unreliable Amtrak service.
Anecdotally, I'm far healthier and more energetic than I was before starting keto a decade ago. I recommend everyone to give it a serious look.

Granted, I can't entirely separate the effects of ketosis in and of itself from an overall cleaner diet with more vegetables and fewer processed foods. It's possible that the same diet with butter swapped out for quinoa would have yielded a similar result.

As far as sweeteners, my go-to is liquid stevia, which I use about 1/5 a cup of daily. When I need a solid sweetener (e.g. for baking), I use inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit, which creates a nicer texture than actual sugar IMO. I also have allulose on hand for specific use cases (e.g. caramelizing), but I can't really stomach it in large quantities. I don't particularly like or recommend sugar alcohols for any purpose, but erythritol is the the least bad of the bunch.
