I've worked in a system like this. Seeing a guy walk into work to surf the web all day because he was obsolete but 5 years away from retirement and a friend with most management there meant I was stuck at temp employment for lower wage because the higher paying position was technically filled. It was the first job I had after school - it burst my early life ideas about socialism and social justice.
Does it not matter when you're deciding on employment though?

If the through-line wasn't obvious, it's that leadership quality matters. Trust matters. When you decide to stay with a company or invest in a company, you don't have the privleged access to know that their actions "won't have any effect" on your ability to pay your bills in the future. In the context of uncertainty, leadership quality matters.

You bet on the jockey, not the horse.

This is essentially moderation rule #0. it is unwritten, enforced before violation can occur, and generates zero complaints because it filters complainers out of the user pool from the start.
For anyone interested in this concept, without spoiling too much, you should read the sci-fi book Starfish by Peter Watts. He has the entire text of the book up for free on his website, in glorious 1990s handcrafted HTML: https://www.rifters.com/real/STARFISH.htm
Yes THANK YOU. This is why it is infuriating to me that elementary/middle school students are still being graded on their BMI in gym class and taught to maintain a "good" BMI. With my body composition, I would be absolutely emaciated if I was on the lower end of the "healthy" BMI range. As it is I am bordering on obese, which if you saw me in person would be completely preposterous. The BMI itself is a pretty useless metric of body fat, and body fat is a pretty useless metric for health.
It happens in other industries all the time. Knew a guy who got laid off from the same factory 3 times in 8 years or so. I've even seen it happen once or twice in tech.
It's very important to me. I don't feel readability is impacted by having commas before or after. As long as it's consistent.
Never seen that concept before. I've done similar in the past using aliases in my ~/.zshrc

alias taskname='echo "blah. blah... instructions for task..."'

Of course, then I have to remember what nemonnic I used for 'taskname'!

It's weird to see this stuff posted so much without anyone bothering to make a case for how Brexit caused this. Somebody just posts a "told you not to do brexit," which begins a thread of mutual congratulations and praise.

How did Brexit affect the US economy so badly at the same time?
>Instead of covering the [tech] industry with a business press lens or a consumer lens they started covering it with a very tough investigative lens — highly oppositional at all times and occasionally unfair.

...

>Tech executives and investors mostly did not like this change, for understandable reasons. And I mostly agree with them on the merits.

The author agrees - that the tech industry should not be subject to investigative coverage?

That's nonsense. Tech now is the most wealthy and powerful industry in the US. Large tech companies have huge impacts on politics and news. Suggesting that tech should not be subject to investigative coverage is hard to understand. It seems like one of the most important subjects of that coverage today.

You can suggest that coverage is inaccurate or unfair, but suggesting that tech should not be covered with an investigative lens is hard to argue.

I´m loving the Faster CPython project. Just for a reference, I have a project originally written in (very optimized) Python, that has a Rust version.
The Rust version is approximately 150% faster in Python 3.10. In Python 3.11 it is 100% faster. This is something incredible as I would prefer to keep it all in Python.
The root partition already contains a set of empty directories, and Lennart has been working on reducing those where possible (see usr-merge).
There's an ongoing leak about layoffs just about for any company on Blind at any given time whether it will happen or not. Too much trolling to be ever reliable.
Sshhh, you're not supposed to point out that inflation and recession are happening in many countries. The unwritten rule here is that if anything bad happens anywhere in the UK, it's always because of leaving the EU.

Also we're not allowed to remember that just a year ago the UK was crushing Europe in vaccine access so badly the EU was openly talking about seizing British assets to try and catch up; the unique performance of the UK in this area was due to it ignoring the EU joint acquisition programme. That's all been memory holed a long time ago, of course. The EU is best at everything.

You are not wrong, but they had ads before: it was just called product placements. For example their Swiss Family Robinson (but in space) had a 15-20 minute segment of an episode about a packet of Oreos.
macOS is the standard for prosumer audio/photo/video production - not for the actual pro market. VFX mainly uses Linux or Windows desktops and the top compositing applications arent even made for macOS.

Not to mention all of the stuff that requires CUDA to run and the fact that Apple made their bed with AMD a long time ago and you can no longer use Nvidia GPUs.
People tend to get emotionally attached to their workplaces and changing it is difficult sometimes. We know business is business. If companies act this way, they should also expect zero employee loyalty.
The way Rust does it is IMO interesting. There is e.g. an OsStr for strings that e.g. describe filenames in an directory listing, because these could actually be invalid UTF-8 but your program might still need to be able to handle them.

So when you wanna convert that OsStr to a String you are forced to handle this in one way or another. This is less comfortable, but describes the underlying systems more accurately.
Do they keep on every server the global library? I guess they partition it geographically.
I don't think the general use case is once per minute though, more like once per hour unless something goes wrong. Something like ensure pipeline pressure is still nominal for remote parts of the pipeline.
I think you're saying that if you were being fired, and you were given a choice of:

(1) you're fired immediately, with 3 months severance pay

(2) 6 months notice, at the end, you're fired with no severance pay

you'd prefer the second choice?

That's reasonable!

The uncertainty I was describing in my comment applied not only to the fired employees, but to the ones who were being kept. From the company's perspective, there's value in providing clarity to those employees. That's why they'd rather pay 3 months severance (and get no labour from the employee) vs paying 6 months notice (and, theoretically, getting 6 months of labour from the employee).
I am just guessing, but after watching Elon operate other businesses from the sideline I would suggest this is the expected behavior. Turn the screws on employees until those not aligned with his work ethic leave on their own rather than having to document a just cause. Then bring in trusted people from other Elon operated companies that want change and some challenge. If people leave on their own there is less risk of legal challenges. But I could be entirely off base.
I thought this discussion was centered on the CEO pay. To that extent CEO pay has ballooned and I see very little evidence that their risk has been commensurate with that growth. If anything, the structure of contracts seems to indicate the opposite.
Retarded, in this context, is being used specifically as an insult by using a superseded medical term to imply that a person is of lesser intellect. The condition in question, intellectual disability as it is now known, is one that cannot be influenced by a person's actions, but is a consequence of birth.

In western culture it is usually considered offensive to use a characteristic that is a consequence of birth as an insult. For example: "Don't be such a black person/jew/asian" is considered offensive because you cannot control the trait of your race any more than you can control an intellectual disability.

Compounding that, as I mentioned above, the term 'retarded' or 'mentally retarded' is no longer used medically or legally, in the same way that 'moron' and 'idiot' aren't considered diagnoses anymore.

Therefore, using the term 'retarded' is culturally associated - exclusively - with insulting a person's actions by comparing them to someone who is disabled with the implication that a disabled person would necessarily act foolishly or irrationally.

It would be the same as if you needed an explanation simplified for you, and from then on every person who then needed a simpler explanation was then said to have 'needed a Tasuki'. You can surely understand, even if you personally don't mind, how that might cause offense.

After all, you are 'somewhat offended' by someone assuming that a link might provide a sufficient explanation instead of holding your hand through the explanation like someone who lacks reason, empathy, logic and intelligence ... Or do I need to Tasuki that further for you?
I'm genuinely surprised a similar alternative has never popped up. Every time Pebble comes up, there are so many people posting about how much they loved it and how they still keep theirs alive or how they had had to relucantly give up and go to a different watch due to it being out of support.

Seems like a giant hole wishing to be filled. I know I want one - but I don't want to revive one - I want a new one with active support.
No, I am not presenting the full arguments here so don't go after what I just put here. Similar comments were upvoted later this year.

See, I don't think this actually matters.

The problem is that the invasion of Iraq was an incompetent bloody shitshow. We had no reconstruction plan, we didn't make good local allies, we disassembled the state.

If we had quickly spun up a competent new plausibly democratic government without an insurgency, nobody would care whether or not we had found WMDs. 'Saddam was a dick, and now he's gone' would have been perfectly adequate, and our allies would have gladly come along for the next invasion in Myanmar or Iran or whoever the bad guy of the month was.

(but obviously, that's not the way history went)
No. This is not how we build a better internet. You can try to say "These companies will be responsible, and about people." all you want. But if the fundamental structure is still a for-profit corporation with equity investors expecting a return then that will inevitably trump whatever public good these companies were supposed to have at heart.

The only way we can actually achieve a better internet and a better tech sector is by changing the fundamental structure of the companies that build it. That doesn't have to mean they don't make money, but it does mean that making a profit for investors cannot be part of it.

Non-profits funded by grants. Employee owned businesses funded by loans. These might actually change the dynamics. But investor owned, for-profit companies funded by venture capital will not. No matter how much we might wish it otherwise.
Any disagreement is classified as hate now; the word is empty and worthless.

If I had headcount for his particular role, I'd hire him in a second and let him know it's OK to continue making his cartoons (which are very on-point and useful to execs who want to learn more about their orgs than what their middle managers are telling them) but he should of course be aware that my abilities to protect him if an SVP gets annoyed are going to be limited.

AWS has them: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/, and you can run Lambdas with ARM.

Disclaimer: I work for Amazon (not in AWS).
Window dressing projects might be a bit much, but in general it is curious that for all the noise Zuckerberg and Pichai have made about productivity, they don't really complain that the headcount is holding back a project or initiative. If I was on the board, I would be much more concerned that the org is not able to use the headcount to grow marketshare/topline/new lines of business more so than anything else.
I'll buy an Apple Watch, but I'd pay through the nose for an Apple Watch with four buttons.

Steve Jobs obsession that the mouse should have only one button was probably right for the computer, but the input device had over 80 buttons minimum. (Keyboard)

Clearly whoever makes the call about Apple Watch buttons doesn't swim, sprint or cycle.

All the marketing about "sports" is to make you feel sporty not because it's actually useful.

Of course, for the use Apple make money from (Apple pay) there is a tactile button dedicated for the purpose.

> working on climate: removing CO2 from the atmosphere is critical to overcoming the climate crisis, and the restoration of forests is one of the BEST ways to do that.

As a tangent, Akira Miyawaki has developed a method for 'reconstitution of "indigenous forests by indigenous trees"' which "produces rich, dense and efficient protective pioneer forests in 20 to 30 years"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Miyawaki#Method_and_cond...

It's worth quoting in full:

> Rigorous initial site survey and research of potential natural vegetation

> Identification and collection of a large number of various native seeds, locally or nearby and in a comparable geo-climatic context

> Germination in a nursery (which requires additional maintenance for some species; for example, those that germinate only after passing through the digestive tract of a certain animal, need a particular symbiotic fungus, or a cold induced dorming phase)

> Preparation of the substrate if it is very degraded, such as the addition of organic matter or mulch, and, in areas with heavy or torrential rainfall, planting mounds for taproot species that require a well-drained soil surface. Hill slopes can be planted with more ubiquitous surface roots species, such as cedar, Japanese cypress, and pine.

> Plantations respecting biodiversity inspired by the model of the natural forest. A dense plantation of very young seedlings (but with an already mature root system: with symbiotic bacteria and fungi present) is recommended. Density aims at stirring competition between species and the onset of phytosociological relations close to what would happen in nature (three to five plants per square metre in the temperate zone, up to five or ten seedlings per square metre in Borneo).

> Plantations randomly distributed in space in the way plants are distributed in a clearing or at the edge of the natural forest, not in rows or staggered.
Yes, but it's still just one box, if you're building a cluster of cheaper characteristics you need more of everything. A high-end server VS a cluster of 10 machines, 10 machines wouldn't be cheaper to get to the same throughput, it's not alien specialized supertech, it's just top of the line commodity hardware. (10 is just an example number here).
Fair enough. My point is that capitalism doesn't materialize resources, as some people believe it to. It might be better than many other methods of organization to distribute resources, but only resources that are already available.
> Is simply linking to other threads on reddit sufficient for you to consider something promoting brigading?

As I mentioned previously, linking to other subs, or even simply _talking_ about /r/StarTrek, was enough for admins to accuse /r/Star_Trek of brigading. They threatened to shut them down unless they stopped members from doing that, and so you're not allowed to do it in the sub anymore.

Whether you think that linking to other subs is brigading or not, it's clear that admins call it brigading when they want to shut down subs, yet then let continue on much larger subs dedicated to the act as long as the admins like the sub.

Edit: For example, here's a highly upvoted SRD post talking about the admins threatening /r/Star_Trek if they mention /r/StarTrek[1]. They call /r/Star_Trek linking to /r/StarTrek posts to complain about them "brigading," in the same post that they themselves are linking to a /r/Star_Trek post in order to complain about it.

Hey, thanks a lot for your insights. Very valuable coming from a professional.

When you say "post decent content on a regular basis", do you mean to post it on the website itself?

Also, I am particularly interested in your view on the value-add of hiring a digital marketing agency versus doing the work myself.

> For example, it’s probably worth mentioning that some distributions decided to put kernels onto the root file system of the OS itself. For this setup to work the boot loader itself [sic!] must implement a non-trivial part of the storage stack.

IIRC, older bootloaders like LILO used a simpler approach: after each kernel update, a userspace program asked the kernel for the list of sectors which contained the kernel file, and wrote the list to a map file; the bootloader then read that map file (its sector hardcoded into the bootloader by the same userspace program), and loaded the kernel by reading the sectors directly. Neither the bootloader nor its userspace installer needed to know anything about filesystems or other parts of the storage stack, and it worked perfectly with RAID 1.
Reddit had the benefit of subreddit moderators policing their own. Twitter has no such thing. Maybe if you squint enough, big accounts block/muting bad actors in their replies can sort of count as self-policing but that does not prevent the bad actor from being a troll in someone else's replies.
