> If you click through to the post history of people who get content to the front page, it's basically a firehose of posts using recycled content and slightly altered headlines to as many subreddits as they can get away with.

I’ve seen this too. It seems like a lot of work and I’m unclear what the reward is. It isn’t like most of that content is pimping some brand of burger or something…

If the Twitter acquisition and the published whatsapp chats between musk and dozens of other billionaires/politicians/ceos and public figures showed me anything. Is that random people on hackernews and reddit take their communication way more serious than them. I don't know what your communication consists of but I need to activate e2e maybe 1-2 times a year. Don't get me wrong I get that making encryption the standard should be the way to go but comments like these are irrelevant for 99% of people and if you have the need for real secure communication you would host it yourself. It's the same for email 99% don't need PGP and if you really do you shouldn't use email in the first place.

A better idea would be to use internet standands for messaging to avoid vendor lock-in.

Reminds me of a term I came up with years ago: Engineer Critical Mass. As soon as you get X or more engineers standing around looking at something, you will start increasingly attracting more engineers at a rate proportional to the current size of the group. Kind of like a lower level "stiction" for inquisitive gravity.

At my last job X=3 and we had around 40 engineers on-site so it was pretty dangerous.

At my current job X~5 maybe but we only have 2 engineers on-site, so it's safe.
> I remember using phrasebooks in the early 2000s in Europe. They were better than nothing, but never as useful as you hoped.

I had the opposite experience. I found the phrase books to be by far the best way to get by, because I didn’t have to worry too much about conjugation, word genders, and so on. One of them was the way I bootstrapped my way into speaking Polish with a girlfriend who spoke no English.
Amazon to freeze all corporate hiring
Good article!

I spent one evening last week on reviewing the role of sugar substitutes in diabetes prevention. Sadly, it seems that most of them, except for perhaps Xylitol, mess with our insulin response. I decided to starting to cut down on my Coke Zero, but it is a struggle...
Doesn't allulose work pretty much the same way?
This is probably a bit of an urban myth.

I mean a similar meme exists too with Vancouver being assumed to be a "dumping ground" for Canada's homeless too, but when you look at the data that the homeless count polling accumulates, where they ask the homeless all sorts of questions, the trends aren't really apparent. I presume the same for California.

It's less that homeless people are moving to places, and more that people are constantly moving to places, and then becoming homeless.

California is one of the economic drivers of the United States. People are moving there all the time. Of course we'd expect economically marginal people to try to move to improve their situation, just as we'd expect a young tech worker to move to California for the same.

Thinking about it the other way, if someone was poor with zero opportunities in some rural town with no jobs would it make any sense to stay there instead of moving to a larger city with more job potential? Of course not.

On occasion you hear some story about some small town mayor busing some homeless person out of their town to the big city, but on closer inspection seems often the case that there's a fair circumstance here of helping someone that can't afford travel get in contact with a relative.
This is true. However, the issue is with the tool outputting unstructured data to begin with. As the `jc` author says, the best would be if tools supported structured output formats to begin with.

Any custom parser of ls output would potentially have the same problem. Of course, it can be improved though – for example by looking at LANG – and it would be nice for such improvements to get into `jc`, so that other tools can rely on it at least more than doing the parsing directly themselves.

It's a called a login wall, not a paywall, since you don't have to pay anything.
I was there during the dot com bubble bursting. Psychology factored into it, but it wasn't the primary reason the bubble bursted. The main two reasons were:

1. Hype around new technologies is sometimes warranted. Electrification, for example. It wasn't clear how long it would take for these weird new internet companies to really start turning a buck, but after a few years spreadsheet parameters were updated and the whole financial industry saw the writing on the wall for most web companies.

2. Many profitable and completely unfunded web companies primarily received their funding from other web companies that were. This set off a cascading reaction of bankruptcies and massive layoffs. Advertisers, publishers, tool makers, and many others were in this second category of legit business that lost the vast majority of their customers.

One of the downsides of an inflating currency is that there is a general feeling of "well I have to invest my money somewhere!" that is hard to overcome and leads to bubbles until the sky starts falling, so I agree with you that psychology is a factor; but the fundamentals still dominate in the medium to long term.
The Gulf Stream keeps Europe warm. It is theorized that Global Warming melting Greenland will alter the density of seawater which drives the thermohaline circulation, shutting it down and causing Europe to freeze.[1] This is the plot of The Day After Tomorrow (2004).

The best compromise I can think of would be to prepend the line source to the combined output, so lines in the combined output can be distinguished. But depending on how you do that, you might have timing issues. In fact, any form of interleaving the outputs of stderr and stdout are technically subject to timing issues because even the source application can’t specify that bytes in one stream should follow bytes in another stream. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12517519/how-to-redirect... talks a bit about the problem, and I’m sure someone somewhere has written a general-purpose tool, but there are timing edge cases here and often the solution is seen as keeping errors messages exclusively in stdout (or logs) or more practically, not worrying about preserving order and writing errors exclusively to stderr without worrying as much about strictly when errors interleave. If you add timestamps to your line outputs, or add some form of line numbers to the output, you can restore order after logging but it would be application-specific to do so. From a practical perspective, listening to both streams and quickly appending to a list with a data structure containing the source and message text is probably your closest approximation if writing code to handle output streams and you want an combined output that can still source which stream came from which source. (Again subject to timing errors)
These articles are just nuts. I work in the lumber manufacturing business. We always sell to the highest bidder. We sell to the highest bidder when prices are high and we sell to the highest bidder when prices are low. How else would we do it? Would we tell the highest bidder “no” and sell our lumber for less? If we did, to whom would we sell? Would we hold a lottery or something? If we did that, we’d sell out immediately and there would be shortages. This narrative of price gouging has taken hold, and Biden very explicitly has accused American corporations of being greedy. But at least for commodities like oil and lumber, and I have to believe most other products, you’re always going to sell the product for the most the market will bear. Prices go down when people stop purchasing (which reliably happens every time prices go up too much). This is all very basic and at least in my business it’s all definitionally true.
What happends to the teenagers who turn 20? Emeritus or what?
Rust becomes extremely painful as soon as you want to push the boundary. If you need to ensure you fit a struct into a cacheline, or you need to ensure an object is reused. All of these things can be done, even things like recycled intrusive structures, but it’s constant friction.

If you don’t try and push the boundaries it’s fine (and if you make everything unsafe you’d also be fine), but otherwise life quickly becomes painful.

If you are going to go to that level of effort then you’ll find it much easier in c++ and the downsides of c++ become insignificant.

On the other hand if you’re writing a web backend c++ would be a terrible terrible choice.
I don't work at stripe, but in general after a big layoff there's still the same amount of work to be done but now you have less people to do it. It's not just the people that were laid off that are gone, but others will leave after the layoff occurs fearing more layoffs to come. Leading to even less people to do the work. It can become a downward spiral for those who are left.
MN is making progress housing the homeless, Utah seems to be the best at getting people housed and the help they need.
It might be overdue. Tech came out of the 2008 recession pretty well in the mean (of course some people suffered badly). A lot of companies came out of it saying to cut costs they had to invest big in their technology.
Yeah, wouldn't it be "sequential sequence of signs", since (afaik) most people read words (signs?) sequentially, not in parallel.
In 2000 it was a lot more obvious that dotcom prices were completely untethered from reality. Same for home prices and handing out loans like candy in 2006.

This one is more of a general "Hey this market is too high", but nothing as concrete that's completely out of whack imo.
The housing crash was obvious - talk to anyone trying to buy a house in 2004 or even 2003. By 2005 or so I had friends that were getting cold called with offers of nodoc nodown interest only loans.
okay, can't argue that! If they were maybe then we could get people shitting on the street as deeply concerning news.
I wish this would go somewhere but if you can't go after government officials these days the CIA you will never be held accountable.

I would argue that the CIA has caused so much harm to this world and even the United States itself it should be dismantled and any new security department should be held to the highest standards and thoroughly auditet.

One can dream.
I believe the Samsung Galaxy Book Go was tested with OpenBSD during the initial development for the ThinkPad x13s, keyboard support was added in this commit.

Many of these older generation "Windows on Snapdragon" laptops unfortunately did not use fast NVMe storage however, only slow eMMC and eUFS (Universal Flash Storage), the latter currently being unsupported by OpenBSD.
Flexible Varint/VLQ: Variable-length bytewise integer encodings in Go
My family was in the market for one of these a few years back, couldn't stomach the price, and ended up buying a baseline class C RV instead (about $90k vs double that for a decently equipped van). Now that we've lived in it a few years, I understand why RVs are so much cheaper. They're big and unwieldy, you can't just park them on the street or even take them up a lot of roads to backcountry campsites. And the level of finish on a basic RV is pretty terrible -- it's basically a $70k class C truck with the absolute cheapest finishings glued onto a box on top.

That being said, we've had so many amazing times in it already and I'd make the same decision again because spending almost $200k on a van is ridiculous.
Ooh, I should try that sometime
You're screwing over your colleagues, not just your employer. We just fired someone like you.
That's actually pretty amazing. Well done.

For me, I read blog posts and sit on the sidelines, thinking about fun ideas like yours, but never executing or figuring out how to take forward steps. It's actually quite the accomplishment to ship a product, even if it was in the good ol' days.

how could microbiome changes not have measurable impact on the body? bodies are ridiculously complex systems.

and there are plenty of instancess where gut microbiome changes are known to be impactful. my partner got SIBO which caused lots of problems for a few months and she was basically unable to eat anything.
They did.

> At most the distinction the article seems to be making is that moderation should be optional and censorship forced

I don't think this is the correct distinction he is making. He defines moderation as a receiver being able to choose whether they want to see certain content. He defines censorship as a third-party deciding if a receiver can see certain content whether or not they want it. McCarthyism would be censorship under that definition.
This might sound wild, but maybe the decent thing to do is if the company warns the team months in advance that a purge is coming. Let those who need to leave, leave. Quietly tell those who you really want to remain that they should not fear.
Yes, there has been some fascinating research coming out suggesting that the gut flora composition can have a causal effect on obesity. For example, if you transplant feces from overweight humans and normal weight humans to mice, the mice will gain (or not gain) weight, depending on which person the feces came from:

I am not convinced. The strongest point to me seems that in a high level views these are both distributed systems, which have to react and interact in real time.

On some very rough level significant similarities exist. But I think it is much rather the case that a certain kind of web development is like a certain kind of embedded development.
Web development is a very wide field and so is embedded development. And for very many parts they are very different.
If you are writing your own OS and you have your own scheduler, carefully saving registers before jumping to the new stack pointer, you are doing something no web developer would ever do.

The systems are similar on an abstract level, but in the realities of the details they heavily diverge. And this is not very surprising, I think. Afterall the only reason software is useful is because allows abstraction, which allows for generalization.
Everything2 has a list of those: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=everything2+when+having+sex+in&ia=...

Hah, even in Latin
For the DC metro I don't think pop will save any time. The only times I've seen a line at a turnstile there has also been a line on the stairs / escalator. Any time saved from not waiting at the turnstile will just translate to an increased wait time at the stairs before you get to the platform.

w.r.t. bus networks, the article is about the metro. But yeah, I'd agree pop is faster for buses. I think it was Italy where I took a bus once and there were several payment machines on the bus (not next to the front door) so you could board and then afterwards pay without causing a line out the door.
> As the final step of the RLS deprecation, this release has replaced RLS with a small LSP server showing a deprecation warning, advising users to migrate to rust-analyzer.

RLS is no longer deprecated, but removed. “Deprecation warning” means “FYI, you shouldn’t be using this, but it’ll still work for now”. This is an obsolescence notification, not a deprecation warning.

I fear we’re losing the fight for the meaning of the word “deprecate”. Yet we have no other word or even phrase to convey what it has historically meant.
I have fun coding. I can't get out of work fast enough. Partly to do my own coding.
Mozilla did not want to ship WebP at all, despite users asking for it, and only added it after too many Chrome-only sites forced them to.

All browser vendors are pretty reluctant to add new codecs, because there's always going to be yet another promising codec to add, but they're left maintaining all of them forever, even after they're not cool and new any more.
"L-Glucose was also found to be a laxative," perhaps another factor in it's adoption.
The announcement that he was the highest-paid YouTuber was literally the first time I had heard of him as a YouTuber. I had occasionally heard reference to his name on some other social media platforms, but never in any context that made me curious enough to find out what was going on.

I'm not a huge YouTube user. But I'm not a complete neophyte. I probably only go on about once a week. I've been on the site for... 14 YEARS?!

WHAT THE HELL?!

Anyway. YouTube is well known for keeping people in very, very specific bubbles. Those bubbles are so strong, you will have a very hard time to get out of them even if you don't want to be in them!

Still trying to figure out how to get YouTube to stop suggesting videos of people streaming their crappy Call of Duty sessions. I don't want to watch any game streaming, let alone CoD, and YouTube keeps sending me videos of people acting like they're gods when really they were just lucky this one time, or obscuring what really happened, or straight up cheating. It's maddening. Downvotes do nothing. Editing my history does nothing. I'm stuck in this incredibly stupid bubble.
Induction motors tend to be quite a bit less efficient than permanent magnet motors though.

Another option is to use permanent magnet motors that just don't use rare earth magnets. The Netgain Hyper9 (fairly commonly used in EV conversions) for instance doesn't use rare earth elements according to EVWest [1]. It's bulky and not particularly powerful, but it has pretty good efficiency.

[1] https://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=...

I believe some dual-motor EVs use a permanent magnet and an induction motor, the idea being that you can use just the permanent magnet motor most of the time for efficiency, but the induction motor is there for more power.
Is there verifiable information about this? I keep seeing it talked about, but no one from Twitter has actually said it's happening...

is it possible it's just one isolated team with a rogue employee?
I would first remove exact duplicates by generating a database of hashes for every single file, and automatically discard duplicates.

Once you have removed the easy duplicates, use perceptual hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing) to find likely copies. Then, either inspect duplicates manually to check whether they are indeed variants of the same, or just assume they are. When you have the set of (assumed) duplicates, either manually pick the best one or just keep the largest file (that works reasonably well for .jpg files, but may discard better images if, say, the original JPEG 2000 file was converted to a smaller .png)

I would also keep all original paths, format, size for every disambiguated file. That may come in handy later, and shouldn’t add much.

Edit: if you think you can trust file creation/modification dates, you can also use them to find the likely original version of a file.
Oh, I see now, yes that's definitely an improvement! Thanks for pointing it out!
Wow, this looks super useful. Will definitely check this out. Thanks
Do you think Nvidia will ever sell their models via api?

or sell plugins to various editors like photoshop.
I'm happy to have not tried Kittens and will stay away from it. UP wasn't too bad. It was a time sink until I played all the way through it, and then wasn't too bad. The murderous game for me was 2048. I had to block the site in /etc/hosts to break out of the game. More recently, duckduckgo has embedded it as an easter egg in their search screen, so it's harder to block that way.

I also waste time on chess puzzles, lichess.org/training , but that isn't so bad since it's easier to pull away, and I felt for a while like it was helping my game, and decided to count that as improving my mind, as contrasted with 2048 which is pure inanity.
The biggest example I can think of that (unofficially) supported Lua Final Fantasy XI.

Because FFXI was released as a PS2 game, it had a ton of limitations, most notably around gear swaps. In the game, you had 16 gear slots on your character, but hundreds of pieces you could equip in there that would improve various actions, abilities, or spells. The built-in macro system had to be PS2 compliant, so it was only capable of swapping so many gear pieces with any given button press (basically like five pieces, when you really might want to swap all 16).

While not supported on the PS2 versions, third-party tools such as Windower allowed folks to install extensions that were Lua programmed that brought a ton of additional functionality to those playing on PC. One of those was the "Gearswap" extension, which allowed you to finally swap all 16 pieces of gear simultaneously, and even do so based on actions that weren't button presses (such as say, if I'm poisoned, equip gear that enhances regen effects).

This sort of thing was such a game-changer (literally) that you basically couldn't play the game effectively without it. Square-Enix even sort of turned a blind eye to it, despite breaking their ToS rules against third party tools, simply because most players had started doing it and they knew they weren't able to program around the PS2 limitations.

It was definitely my first intro to Lua within FFXI, and it helped foster a great love of programming that I turned into a career. I believe more games should make this sort of thing officially available, it's just plain awesome.
So you can burn out in 1/3 of the time.
Did you work with denoising the chroma channels separately from luminance? I believe that's a large part of the trick -- humans are far less sensitive to colour resolution issues, and chroma noise just looks awful compared to luminance noise.
True in the ideal case.
Is it really just as simple as adding random SWEs and recruiters?
This article is an excerpt for a book about a movement... about books. Or more specifically anti-books, perhaps post-modern books?

In other words, mostly nonsense about the form being inherent in the "experience" of conveying understanding. Seems to me to be an objection to clarity of wording. Good thing it didn't catch on (this comes to us from the late 60s and early 70s).
Ironically selling twitter at an inflated price was the only good thing he did, that I’m aware of.
> Less than 1% do. Let's say, though this is a high estimate, 0.5% of Windows users are ARM. Now let's say my app has 1 million installs at $1 each (pretty successful). That means my total value for optimizing for those ARM users is... $5,000. And they can already run my app with translation, so it's actually worth less than that.

Not disputing your numbers, but for devs writing web services or cloud workloads, compiling for arm can mean spending a lot less on VMs. If I were writing software that had to run on Windows Server on ARM, I would probably want one of these devices for local development.
