Also, SpaceX would not exist were it not for a US government decision to fund and develop private spaceflight launch capabilities for NASA and the US Air Force. In fact the idea was given to Musk by Mike Griffin who at the time headed up In-Q-Tel, the CIA's investment arm and could also source the right technical experts to form the core engineering group. Shortly after he became NASA's administrator and gave SpaceX a huge development and launch contract before it had flown anything.

The idea that SpaceX emerged from nothing and bootstrapped its way to success has always been false. That doesn't mean they don't deserve praise for doing a ton of things right and having an impressively bold engineering strategy, of course.
False dichotomy. It's possible to feel empathy for someone who takes a bitter pill, but if the pill makes them and society better, I'm not going to be shamed by you for saying it's a good thing.
I'm with on on everything but the food! I can get like 10 different kinds of apples at my grocery store, a dry aged ribeye, and there is an entire row dedicated to different types of sparkling water. If i want fresh noodles for fish soup I can go 10 minutes down the road to the Asian grocery and get Bok Choy, fishballs, and udon noodles. The only thing not near me is a reliable source of rainbow colored bagels that my daughter loves.
Multiline is what makes REPLs or CLI break, interesting and simple take on it. Fish tries to solve this by having a good CLI editor for multilines. This is preferable to a notebook for me especially if done with the "paste to tmux pane" described in comments. I will use this in FWed production systems next week!

> Some of our clients have a hard time filling roles despite paying competitively or even generously.

By definition, if they were having a hard time filling roles, they were not paying competitively enough to offset their bad reputation.

I bet they could have easily filled the role if they added a zero or two to the compensation offer.
> no-one has ever shown that twitter were lying about bot numbers, and the only way you can pretend they were is if you pretend they were claiming their mDAU number was their user account number

This is entirely false. Read the whistleblower report:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22186683-twitter-whi...

“The company could not even provide an accurate upper bound on the total number of spam bots on the platform. The site integrity team gave three reasons for this failure: (1) they did not know how to measure; (2) they were buried under constant firefighting and could not keep up with reacting to bots and other platform abuse; and, most troubling, (3) senior management had no appetite to properly measure the prevalence of bot accounts—because as Mudge later learned from a different sensitive source, they were concerned that if accurate measurements ever became public, it would harm the image and valuation of the company.”
In all the brouhaha about the Twitter acquisition this piece of info had personally escaped me:

> Musk’s deal to buy Twitter included making the company take on $13 billion in debt from banks, which means Twitter will owe about $1 billion a year in interest payments

puts things in a slightly different perspective. I had somehow assumed that all the acquisition money had come in from Musk himself together with a bunch of other business "friends" or investment vehicles, didn't know there were direct bank loans involved.
Don't forget about rampant inflation/currency issues.
What do you describe is true everywhere. Books were never a get-rich-quick-scheme. There are like seven bands in all of history that get significant revenue from anything other than live shows.

But what do you mean, no incentive to create?

The Tao Te Ching was reluctantly written after the author was begged by his pupils. Most Greek philosopher's teachings were only written down after their death because other people thought that's an important job. On The Origin Of Species is a book because that was just the normal way to communicate scientific findings in Darwin's time. Da Vinci saw some fat commissions in his life, but Mona Lisa certainly never brought him any money. In fact, out of my twenty favorite artists maybe two saw anything approaching fame in their lifetime.

Please, go to some random DeviantArt page or Spotify profile or GitHub repo with 3 views and tell me why it exists when the only reason for human creation is dollars and red carpets...what a sad perspective, really

Morale at Twitter must be at a record high right now.
I don't see more empathy from Stripe. And since no one has come out of the process of mass layoffs yet, we don't know if Twitter isn't going to provide severance and bonus payouts and etc.

On the other hand, Stripe was much more productive and is workforce wasn't so inflated.
When the goal is to get rid of someone or some people, fashion doesn't matter. Anything that can be used to construct a case will be considered. The goal is to prevent being sued or losing the suit, not to look good. "No, your honor, here is our methodology for evaluating performance. As you can see, it is not violating any laws. These employees fell on the lower end of the scale."

Also, in a situation where the owner is hostile to the employees, and the employees are hostile to the owner, how are you going to perform more accurate assessments? Code output may be the least bad heuristic they can use.

And of course, let's not forget this whole thing is meant to be a spectacle.
Frankly I am pretty sure there is a long list of talented execs who don't care how Parag was fired and would love to work for Musk.

He's too successful now with too many fans for this to have an impact. People know he demands a lot and can do crazy things. That's just part of the package.
Hello,

I work in a laboratory specialized in Artificial Intelligence that belongs to Naver (NLE). These two languages are used in many research projects, especially for document processing before applying ML methods. We used Tamgu for instance in Machine Translation and in Sentiment Analysis.
We have also published in the past datasets for conference papers, that required the tools to be open source, so that people could reproduce our experiments.
This year for instance, we used the Prolog engine in Tamgu to produce a dataset to train a transformer on inference.

The process to make them open source was quite thorough and quite painful, but I cannot complain.

The case of LispE is little bit different, I created it to have a more flexible platform to experiment with functional features, which I could not do with Tamgu, which is too large now.

The blogs are simply a way to make these tools more visible, and since I'm French, I usually write them in English and French.
Interviewing is a skill, but luck is obviously a huge factor. My current job for a relatively mediocre salary at a smaller startup took a year and a half to find.
I'm continually surprised by how many "major" crypto firms I've never heard of before (being familiar with the space) suddenly are regarded as big names when they go under.

Wake me up when it's Kraken or something, i.e. a company someone may actually have heard of.

I would expect the opposite. Doesn't DHCP make more sense, for example, if the user creates a snapshot and restores it with a new IP? I don't use Lenode, so I can't judge, but I would expect DHCP to be default.
No one said we needed “the boom”.

This happened to me (and is in part why I'm a tad salty in the comments), I was a H1B and in the process of adjustment of status. While your green card application is pending, you're legally in a grey area if your H1B expires. I had to leave for family circumstances but advanced parole took months to process, I figured it would be okay since it was a serious emergency. Upon returning I was told I couldn't re-enter the US because even though my stay in the US was completely legal, I had technically overstayed the terms of my H1B. The USCIS policy and CBP policy differs around this. There's a specific USCIS policy memo that mentions this actually. So I'm now banned, no leniency, no understanding for the situation.
As for tips: I’m currently reading the book Ultralearning and as I look back at my self-taught journey I see I basically did a bunch of the stuff the author outlines in his book.

> In the ideal world, literally all software would be CC-0.

No, because then companies would release heavily obfuscated binaries of everything and not provide the source, or worse, require you to run everything in their cloud and never release anything to you.
Sure, but that team may have N engineers and those VPs may have N teams, so that doesn't seem so ludicrous for a 7000 person company. Or even 3500 person company by EOD. Certainly in my company there's about a 200:1 engineer:VP engineering ratio, so pointing out every engineer reports to a VP is kind of a meaningless statement

I agree. By heavy price they might mean tougher working conditions with wearing masks all day, teaching remote, etc.
It’s funny. I watched the Social Dillemma and thought we were doomed.

Maybe the way to fix social media is to just have Twitter die by whatever Musk is doing and Facebook die from trying to become the metaverse.

I hope they pull ads from Facebook and Instagram next. In fact, Im pretty sure the world will be ok if Audi and Genera Mills ceased to exist. Imagine how many fewer kids will get diabetes if Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms blinked out of existence.

If those loans are no-recourse loans with this FTT token as collateral, then should the token crash the liability just "disappears". The collateral will be sold to cover the loan. If the collateral is now worthless that was the risk the lender agreed to take on when issuing a no-recourse loan.

If they are Defi loans for example, they're pretty much automatically no-recourse loans.
Irrational? It would seem to me that their fears were warranted.
Even leaving aside that a lot of these people are not engineers but customer support, finance, sales, etc. even developer hires in the current market are very measured and selective at most companies. First of all, probably nothing will move forward until after the holidays. It's not unreasonably pessimistic to think that it may take 6 months or more for someone to get a new position even as a developer.

Arrgh! :( Just this week I needed to do some emergency rearranging of personal infrastructure, and moved one nameserver to Linode Fremont, while the other nameserver is in Linode Dallas. I was fully aware that I needed a more diverse long-term solution, but I figured "What are the chances that both Fremont and Dallas will go down in the next week or two?"

Sorry, folks. I hate that my dangerous flirting with Murphy's Law is hurting other people.
Polish devs have a pretty good reputation.
It sounds like you have a complicated life compared to many other people (certainly compared to me). Focus is a matter of priorities - if you have too many important things going on (I assume you started a company, relocated to a different country and are probably involved in several technologies) then you can't afford to neglect any, so you have to devote attention to all these important topics. Outsourcing things that others do better than you will help with that (you mention an accountant, so you already are doing some of that). Maybe getting a lawyer to help you with the bank would also help.
Indeed, it is a reasonable assumption that it will get more valuable over time, as it is a scarce resource.

That being said, maybe check if you have `dhclient`, `dhcpcd`, `systemd-resolved`, or (less likely) `dnsmasq` or `bind` running (htop / ps aux).

If you do, your instance may fall over after its DHCP lease expires and it then presumably fails to acquire a new one and goes all 169.254.x.x on you.

The possible counterpoint / information-vacuum bit here is that I don't know what the DHCP lease time is, so the expiry may already have happened.

IOW, apparently this started 4h ago, and so the last leases were presumably issued 4h ago, and maybe the lease length is 1h, so everything's already as dead as it's going to get, so maybe if you're not already dead, you're fine.
How do you track that exactly? Any chance you can share a concrete example?

Sure, “the bird” will be free, in a sense, when it’s profitable and doesn’t care about advertisers, but that freedom is free for Elon to do whatever he wants with it.

Not freedom for users or in any other (actually good) sense of that bloated meaningless word.
Layoffs are really tough on anyone, but Silicon Valley lay-offs are met with more indignation. Most people get laid off, they take the severance, and they start looking for a new job. With Twitter, etc The decision to lay someone office met with such indignation like how dare you lay ME off.

The whole response to the layoffs just doesn’t sit well with me. It’s the righteous elite complaining that they have to eat cake

Have you ever seen Java/Clojure stacks? :-)

My browser is cpp program. Say, 10 layers are typical. Then, there's a libc + ui linux code. Usually in c, so even less layers. Say, 10 more. Then, there are sycalls annoying the kernel from time to time. Pretty shallow, btw, 5.

That's 30 roughly speaking. Maybe 40.

Java + clojure combo is not impressed, not at all.
There is a minimum size of shrapnel that’s dangerous. Micrometeorites are already common and not a major issue. That means there is a finite maximum number of dangerous particles a satellite can break into and those particles are limited by the energy before impact.

Atom editor is not dead, but is now Pulsar (viva OSS)
With Microsoft shortly bringing the axe to Atom, in favor of their in-house VS Code, that leaves a lot of people wondering what's next? There is a reincarnation, however!

Much like how MariaDB came from the ashes of Oracle's MySQL squash, and we now have Rocky from IBM/Redhat nerfing CentOS, soon we should have pulsar from Microsoft's similar attempt to squeeze an OSS project into oblivion.

Love it or hate it, Atom is a popular OSS editor with many great features, and having it continue as Pulsar is great for the community.

Keep an eye on https://pulsar-edit.dev for the new release (not yet ready).

The project team would like more time to polish things up, but I also think it's good for people to recognize the effort is underway.

Like any OSS project, they could use additional help.

Note: I'm not a part of the project, I'm just a fan of the editor who is excited to see it continue. So let those naysayers know that, in traditional OSS fashion, the big corporation's attempt to kill it in lieu of their in-house product will not succeed.

And there are many posts and blogs asserting that it IS dead, so I'd like to get the correct word out there.

Because it’s exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, to obtain accurate bot account metrics without data that is exclusive to the company.

Factor in that Twitter did not have processes in place to accurately count the spam accounts themselves. The truth is that there is not currently an accurate count of Twitter’s fake users.

> What’s comical is the gall of General Mills, who has spent decades getting kids (myself included) addicted to sugar with manipulative advertising.

Nature made everyone addicted to sugar. Of course not everyone is as prone to this as others, but sugar is energy and organisms (we included) need energy.

Manipulative advertising is also a bit redundant. Advertisement is meant to be manipulative, which is maybe more obvious by a pejorative/synonym for advertisement: propaganda.
I really do not like this article and the discourse here for several reasons:

1. The entire Coindesk article lacks meaningful substance. For instance, we have zero idea about what those $7.4 billion of “loans” are. It’s really irresponsible to say that they’re insolvent. If you believe, so, you are applying no more rigor to your understanding of the space than the idiots who say HODL YOLO HFSP. If the liabilities are collateralized by assets on their balance sheet, then the financial risk is not to Alameda but the lender!

2. The entire article paints a dire picture based off of their appraisal of the assets. Again, nobody has any idea of what the liabilities truly are, so to speculate that Alameda is insolvent is making an unfounded leap. But the author of the article tries to lead us to believe that it’s an OK leap to make, because their assets are trash! Wrong. It’s lazy, it’s pandering to a certain crowd, and it’s dishonest.

3. Before reflecting on their extremely, extremely short handed analysis, they take their unfounded conclusions further and spin it through a prior framework that they made for Celsius, which is a totally different type of company with a totally different set of liabilities. Alameda does not lend money to retail. The author pulls a sleight of hand by taking one misleading statement, and transforming it before the reader can apply any skepticism to the original misleading statement.

4. Recently there have cropped up a set of anonymous people (otteroooo on Twitter, this guy) who purport themselves as insiders only to reveal themselves to be complete completely ignorant about the topic at hand. A lot of unsavory people have recognized there’s a cottage industry in endlessly pounding the table saying that the world is falling and that everything is a scam based off of extremely little public information and no access to any private sources. They are ambulance chasers.

5. We have a large contingent of people who just read the headline here, and assume, scam! And apply the pre-existing biases to the entire thing, with nothing insightful to add.

Amazing pictures. Looks like an alien planet. Several of them had me do a double take on the scale. I have seldom seen a more useful "human for scale".

I judged off the scale 10 to 100 times before I saw the humans in the picture. There seem's to be something fractal about the appearance of rock and snow, or maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the subject matter.
