In all honesty, I was primarily echoing OP's bit where they said, "I'm just using my gut and it's going swimmingly."

More broadly, this kind of thing often makes me think of the idea of "self-reliance" [1]. In other words, the accumulation of career experience parallels the gradual process of learning to trust yourself and your (ever more finely honed) instincts more and more.

Nebula is Nreal's proprietary virtual workspace. DeX is a feature offered on many mid-to-high-end Samsung phones where you can plug it into an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard and get an Android-based desktop-style experience with draggable, resizable windows.
Indeed, I do joke that I was the one employee that left the company when I was happy rather than burnt out! I don't think my overall experience was in the minority, though? It's not like everyone was dropping like flies. I don't know anyone that was injured from work while I was there. I have plenty of friends that worked there long after I did, and I don't think any of them regret it. I also never saw a lay-off while there. A small number of people got fired for performance reasons, but other than being unpleasant, it seemed like a positive change for both parties.
I finished my thesis thanks to a group of people scattered over the internet, all agreeing to do pomodoro. In the breaks we'd chat about our day to day lives then get back to work when the bell rang. I'll always be grateful for their presence, getting me through hard times when I'd perhaps have given up if I felt completely alone; or at least not worked so deeply and thoroughly.

I think you’re underestimating the number of people hedging their bets on twitter not for ideological reasons, but because a company left with a billion dollars in annual interest is going to have to squeeze that out of whichever users remain. Whether it is through ads or fees, the dynamic on the site will change substantially.
From the article's author:

>I am just coming back from a very intense company retirement with activities that helped me reach my limits

Yeah, no thanks, I don't want to "reach my limits" by being pressured into childish team building activities with random people from work I've never met IRL. Not my thing. I have my own groups of friends for that.

>Hei man, if you would see our slack channels, where hundreds of people share opinions, experiences and their pets’ photos, you would understand.

Is there something wrong with me if I don't care at all the about pet photos, and other non work related opinions and experiences of hundreds of people I don't personally know IRL and rarely get to meet? To me those slack channels are just noise that distract me from wrapping up my work sooner so I can go have fun. I have my own Signal and WhatsApp groups of people I actually know personally and care about.

>I can call them friends after seeing them just one time!

I don't think you know what true friendship is about. Last month I got a bad case of COVID, hurt myself seriously, and had to be taken to the hospital. I had 3 IRL friends who offered their help with my recovery on a daily basis. Would your new remote work colleague "friends" that you met once in a company retreat fly over from their countries and take care of you? Probably not. Work colleagues you only met once IRL aren't your true friends. They'll quickly forget about you after the retreat is over and focus on their IRL friends back home.

Lots of strong and loaded opinions on both sides in this article. I don't think one is more right than the other, just that each is working for a companies with different cultures, in industries where one is more modern, one is more traditional and so is their customer base, where one values physical interaction more for business success vs the other, so of course both approaches are not compatible, but that doesn't make one wrong or one right. I WFH so I get the author's PoV, but that's mostly applicable to his/our bubble. From my experience, an engineering or other more traditional company will value face to face interaction and handshake business deals more than web startups or SaaS companies, so his cheap shots at trying to out-smug the author of that LinkedIn post from his SW remote-work high-horse are missing the point completely and don't put him in a better light.

> Is there data to show that fonts improve anything objectively?

Of course there are. The primary motivation is aesthetics though. This is of course part of "anything", but it's a bit subjective.

Fonts (typefaces) make people so upset. You care, or you care not. Having strong opinions about what other people care about is a path to madness.
> Serious question: what is so important about fonts?

My shortest serious answer: If you're asking, the answer for you is "mostly nothing".

A slightly longer serious answer: Typography is a core dimension of a design's "voice", and so people who care about that tend to care a lot about typography. Examples to help visualize this: https://www.fastsigns.com/blog/miscellaneous-trending/colors...

A less-serious answer: Change your coding/console font to Ariel for a week.

Was that the original Mastodon? That does have a reputation of being faffy to install and resource-hungry. Pleroma is much easier and less resource-hungry. Even I managed to spin up a Pleroma server without any trouble.

It'll need a team for coverage of moderation, support, perhaps 24/7 ops - but then anything with a lot of users will, surely?

Show HN: Lotus – Open source pricing and packaging infrastructure
Hi HN! We’re building an open-source pricing & packaging engine for SaaS with a built-in billing system. (https://github.com/uselotus/lotus).

We strongly believe pricing is the largest untapped growth lever for SaaS, primarily because pricing affects so many critical systems that don’t talk to each other (billing, payments, feature limits, metering, and CRM). We’re building this infrastructure to fix this and enable quick experimentation.

Lotus acts as a central repository for all of your pricing plans and utilizes your payment gateway, to manage usage-based, per-seat, and custom enterprise pricing. We’re excited to open-source this because we want to enable developers to build their custom pricing and integration edge cases on top of this base.

We’ve launched this repo under an MIT license so any developer can use the tool. Give it a spin for us at either:

* test our cloud version at (https://demo.uselotus.io)

* self-host here (https://github.com/uselotus/lotus)
and let us know what you think.

All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, follow us and we’ll keep you updated when we’ve fully published all our beta features.

It doesn't need to yield 6% from rent, it needs to yeild 6% from rent + (home appreciation - maintenance), which is pretty easy if home prices are depressed due to temporarily high interest rates and a glut of new construction, since appreciation will kick in hard as soon as interest rates cool off and new construction scales back.
Stock prices aren't simply a function of earnings.

Perhaps with complete transparency and a reasoning, logical market they might be closer to that, but that's not what we have. Even in that case you've got more than earnings to concern yourself with, like risk assessments, d/e ratio, dividend rate, and much more.
This is basically saying "it's not overpriced if enough people believe it to be the correct price" which yeah, sure. In that case it's impossible to make money on most overpriced asset classes (other than those you can make yourself).
If activists were "manufacturing" doubt, that implies the doubt is false. Which means Twitter could resolve the doubt when the advertisers ask questions.

Advertisers are asking questions, and Twitter isn't providing answers or assurances. Therefore, advertisers are backing off.

This is completely down to Twitter being taken over by a guy who insisted for months that he would turn it into a "free speech" hellscape, and refusing to answer any questions about his policies. Policies which he seems to change based on the weather.

Twitter isn't providing any sort of assurance that the platform will continue to exist in a way that advertisers are comfortable advertising on.

Trying to blame this on a boogeyman labeled "activist" is pretty much nonsense. Musk has been completely reckless during the takeover, and these are the consequences of those actions.
The issue is that the display is trying to correct for the sub-pixel layout by interpolating over it. Users are insisting this isn't the case and that there is instead a static phase offset (ie that the red channel is from the pixel to the left and the green channel is from the pixel to the right). This might be the result in practice in the one case of yellow-gray transition, but it is not the fundament cause.

Anyway, all of this nuance isn't of interest to reddit posters. They're more interested in being the smartest person in the room and shouting down any intellectually stimulating discussion. I was just hoping the high exposure forum might draw out some hidden trick to fixing this issue.
Seems to me that more is at stake here for lisp developers.
I'm not aware of any "simply short" ETF. It kind of doesn't make sense. Lets say you've got the underlying asset at $100, what price should the "short" asset be? $100? Well, what happens when the underlying goes to $200, or $300, or $400? The short can't just go to $0, -$100, -$200, -$300. Negative-priced ETFs just don't work (no one will pay up!!)

Instead, "short ETFs" are composed of futures and/or options that move "as if" they were short against the stock. In cases of a rising bull market, the short position is "regularly wiped out" (hits $0), and the assets can rebalance to the new value of the underlying.

Corrolay for techies: ... or why we go out of our way to make users throw away perfectly working things.

I still remember the shift from Windows XP to Vista. Many users where absolutely uninterested in updating: They were perfectly fine with the amount of features Windows XP offered, had gotten used to the UI, had set up their system to work well for them, etc. Microsoft had to run a sustained campaign of advocacy, nag-screens, and end of support to bring those users to update.
I like to use mapy.cz when looking at czech republic, because they're veeery recent. Only problem I have with them, is that they are intentionally uncompatible with leaflet. They have their own api/map library and for some reason prohibit usage with other map libraries, because (as per their docs, api.mapy.cz) they believe that accessing their maps directlly is some kind of abuse? Other than that, it's a good product.
No culture clumping whatsoever, you are correct.

Sadly, as usual with Europe, a really good idea and... a very poor marketing!

Mastodon is supposed to be a kind of Twitter replacement... so why not using the "public timeline" (https://social.network.europa.eu/public) as the landing page??? It would allow everybody to see that mastodon is not more complicated than twitter and would be more interesting than https://social.network.europa.eu/about/more or even https://social.network.europa.eu !!!

I really don't get it. :-(

As long as Europa won't be able to make interesting things catchy for everybody, all these good ideas will just stay unused and lost

Discontinued, according to https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/6403

The only available Garmin alternative is $200. The one I'm replacing was $30. But I'm willing to go to $75.

Also, it's a bit large because it has a screen, but that's not a deal-breaker.

The one I'm replacing didn't even have a screen, just a light for power and a light to indicate it was connected to the satellites.

Certainly bubbles may stick around for a while and take a while to pop, but how much time should any particular prediction be given before it is busted?

Edit: Pull quote with the central point:

> I thought it was important to clear up the prevalence of index funds, but it isn’t actually even relevant to this discussion. Assets under management do not set prices. Only trading sets prices. The relevant question is not how much of the market is indexed, but how much of the trading is being done by index funds. Since index funds are not doing the majority of the trading, active managers are still dominating price discovery.

>Private corporations that adhere to US law

the sentiment methinks is misplaced. the US is a 23 trillion dollar GDP. sooner or later, all private corporations adhere to its law.

a better observation is that technocratic trappings of neoliberalism are more akin to neofeudalism than most western governments are willing to confess in 2022, lest they anger the spirit of Thatcher and Reagan or god forbid induce some sort of mass reform.

like everything: marketing campaigns.

Right now media are reporting (embedding) statements from EU from private social networks, in the future PR are going to include links to the new platforms and journalists will start to track them instead.

Exactly how it happened with Twitter, nobody knew about it months after its launch.

Nobody mentioned it as a source for important stuff, especially not established media outlets/newspapers.

A little reminder: Twitter is 16 years old, was never profitable, and, despite the billions poured into the platform and into "buying" attention, it "only" has 200 million active users/day globally, compared to the 2 billions of WhatsApp user active daily or the 1.7 billion active Facebook users.

The vast majority of social network users around the World don't even know what Twitter is and why it should matter.
