Did Riot eventually sort out the toxic community? If so that would be amazing, and definitely relevant. I stopped playing when it was still there, and it was a big part of the reason I stopped.

Agreed. Do you have any suggestions for finding potential customers without taking drastic measures e.g. changing the job/industry you work in?

FWIW, I'm not the author of recall-app. I saw it mentioned on HN yesterday and it got me thinking since it's the kind of app I'd write if I weren't so protective of my leisure time.

Over the past decade or so I've run across advice like "find your niche" and "scratch an itch you have", but my niche is Laserdiscs and my itch is comb filtering NTSC, so I'm inclined to see the advice bandied about here as having at least a few silent qualifiers.

"We’ve had artificially low interest rates (+ QE) for over a decade now."

No, you misunderstand the situation. We had artificially high interest rates for at least the period from late 2008 to about 2014 -- if we assume the Taylor Rule is "the natural rate", as Taylor originally defined it in 1993, as the rate that allows the maximum possible employment balanced with just 2% inflation. For most of the period 2008-2014, that would have implied a rate of negative 5% interest, but banks cannot go much below 0%, so they were up against the zero lower bound, and so the rate was artificially high -- it was stuck at 0% when the economy needed it to fall to negative 5%, so as the restore what maximum employment could be achieved against the limit of 2% inflation.

(Taylor himself later modified the Taylor Rule in response to feedback from Republicans, a story you can grasp from this: https://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2009/12/on-the-definition-of-... )
Back in the 90's my step-father worked in a factory, and he and his buddies always joked about a guy there that never did a single lick of work.

He took a VHS camcorder in one day, and recorded the guy flipping a piece of metal over on a table a couple times, then moving the piece of metal to a new table. Repeating this over and over throughout a 10/12 hour day.
Okay, but that's not what any of the parties in this current case are doing: the Snap in question is a third-party build, not a source distribution.

My understanding (as an outsider) is that Signal doesn't object to you building yourself a copy of Signal Desktop for source, but they do object to anybody building it for others, especially when they brand it as "Signal." That doesn't seem especially unreasonable to me: E2EE is a domain where trust is established exactingly; a proliferation of unreviewed third-party builds compromises environmental trust.

The analysis I've seen always has supply crashing (lock-downs, which are over) then recovering and in the case of manufacturing, being higher than even before the pandemic. Inflation should have mostly stopped if that was all there was to it (or never happened because demand would go down too when people can't get paid). However demand crashed less, recovered more, and has kept right on going up way above per-pandemic levels and faster than the increasing supply.
It wouldn't have broken the whole internet though. It's hyperbolic to suggest that it would have.
Good point. “Extremely low” would have been a better way to phrase it.
In other news, Elites agree to force women to wear Chastity Belts to crack down on rapists.
I certainly agree the temps are survivable - but the issues is the entire housing stock/built environment is not set up to deal with it.

Europe's having huge energy and price concerns right now. Dropping temps by -20 decrees, would be far, far more difficult to adjust to. We can't just snap our fingers and instantly convert every building in a country to a 'passive house' even if we want to :)

Wage inflation, interesting that the whole "fight for $15" thing literally died overnight at some point. But when you're at 40-year high for inflation, rates rise, part of what the Fed is trying to do is raise unemployment. Here you are.

> youʻll end up with a council of third-rate minds and politically-motivated hacks, and the situation will be worse than how you started.

Wow, surprising honesty from someone affiliated with Reddit. I'm sad that I wasn't on the site during the time of the old guard.
The first interesting thing happens when you have $5 of available funds. (Specifically, autoclippers become available to purchase.)

When precisely you hit that point depends on how well you are managing the price to balance ensuring that your unsold inventory is getting purchased reasonably quickly against getting a reasonable amount of money per unit sold, but it will probably be less than a minute.
>Yeah, let's teach users to paste sudo commands into the terminal. That's great.

This is also one of my fears with pushing non tech savvy people away from Apple/Windows and onto Linux without the Snap, Flathub, or other such curated stores that ship with the distro, without which they would need to touch the terminal and run commands found on the internet.

GNU/Geeks will keep shouting religiously how insecure Windows is because "grandma can download a dodgy .exe pretending to be a game and get viruses", but on Linux it's the same shit or worse, all you have to do is to convince a user new to Linux to paste and run a sudo command in the terminal as instructed by some scammy tutorial he found on Youtube when searching for "how to install Fortnite on Linux" and it's game over for him, since Youtube removed the downvote counter and the user had no idea he was running into a trap.

After all, for most Average Joes, copying some text feels far less dangerous than downloading and opening a strange file.

At least Windows Defender will most likely catch that malware you downloaded and warn you about it being harmful, but on Linux you have no such guardian nanny to save you. With sudo, it will do whatever self-destructive thing you tell it to do and not complain.
Elm is stagnant. There's been no release since October 2019. It's a problem because there are known bugs.

These random detours into climate-related topics are insanely disruptive of an otherwise interesting essay. I absolutely hate this pattern. I see what he's trying to do - you don't want to read about climate change but you want to read this other thing so I'm going to mix them together so you can't avoid the one if you want the other - but it's an awful dark pattern and makes for a frustrating and confusing reading experience. I kept thinking he was making an analogy before realizing he was just changing topics at random again. It certainly isn't making me more interested in his trees project. If anything I'm less interested now.
It's a fair point. Qualified ML people working at big companies command huge salaries. Work at big tech: get lots of $$ and access to big compute.

Society is polarising thanks to social media, with its self-reinforcing echo chambers.

Like/dislike buttons promote groupthink and demote comments from critical thinkers whose thinking doesn’t conform to whatever is popular.

This makes group-thinkers more tribal and protective of their ideas, while critical thinkers feel ostracised and more defensive about their ideas.

Everyone becomes more combative and unhappy.

Language is abstract. Some conditions are generally disfavored. Referencing that disfavor abstractly can be meaningful.

Come now. At the root of all of this is an ableist, patronizing assumption: People with mental disabilities must have the language used around them carefully policed because they can't handle the implied disfavor and emotional harm that language may communicate via their own agency, not like the rest of us.

The answer is nonprofit Community Development Corporations. They get lots of special funding sources which allow them to buy or develop housing and rent it out affordably.

I recently finished a degree focused on this model at SFSU. There are a few really good examples like CCDC and TNDC in SF. Both of these have acquired about 4,500 units of housing so far, all of which are affordable. Many of the other districts have or want something similar.

This is the only general-purpose solution I've found to nonprofit affordable community development of not just housing but also many other types of infrastructure projects.

It's just not possible to build for-profit inventory that's affordable; the cost per unit is too high. But there are lots of exciting ways to fund nonprofit affordable housing, and the CDC model

I've heard so many stories like this over the years. "Project X had to move all their source out of version control system Y into Z, deleted system Y, then found out Z had a corrupt version. Luckily ol' Rick had a copy on his home PC!"

This isn't confined to software. At an aerospace company I worked at, they decided to put all (paper) engineering analysis materials onto microfilm. Then they found out that the microfilm had scrambled the images out of order. Guy named Ron had fished a lot of the paper out of the trash saving that project's bacon.

I feel like pc86 was just being straightforward about how those decisions are made. They can speak for themselves though.

That sounds like a pretty awesome feature, as long as drives can be manually unlocked. If not, better have usable backups! (you have backups AND test them, right?)

You make markdown support TeX by running it though a tex compiler.

Are there any companies aside from Twitter that would fall under this? Because that's the only one I've seen mentioned in the news that way, but you make it sound like there are plenty others. So I was curious if I simply missed something.
Manufacturing moving "back home" is how we are attempting to deal with the supply shocks, so it is true that domestic demand is increasing but I expect the parent considered that as part of the supply shock. This doesn't necessarily suggest a demand shock on the global scale. Places like China are seeing decline in exports.

> Why are you now equivocating over this instead of being able to answer for your own conclusions?

Especially in a fog-of-war sort of situation with a lot of drama where it's hard to tell what claims might be real and fake, I don't know precisely what Twitter's working conditions are like. But even not knowing some nuanced details about life at TwitterHQ right now, I'm very comfortable in saying that the worst case scenario working at Twitter is miles better off than the best case scenario say down in an iron mine.

> So where does that line exist? When do working conditions go from "not deserving of complaint" to "complaints are fully justified"?

Everybody is entitled to complain and voice their opinion no matter how rich or powerful they are, but I did take a bit of issue with the "deeply depressing" language that was used.

If the tweet had said "On a human level, it's upsetting to see my coworkers stressed out over the impending layoffs" or something to that effect, I can totally empathize. But "deeply depressing" is a bad phrase for this situation.

That's easy. No one wants to hire "olds."

Since companies are now run by twenty-something CEOs, no one wants to hire people that make the CEO uncomfortable.

It really is that simple. Basic bigotry. In my experience, many companies don't even try to hide it. Recruiters are awful.

I just learned that if I see a binary tree problem, the company is just yanking my chain. It's not worth trying.
So my understanding of GFC is 2008 unemployment situation was caused by collapse of corporate debt (due to banks being caught in subprime loan crisis with their pants down) which in turn fed further banking collapse so we had a negative feedback loop. I don’t see a cycle like that today
The public thinks about moderation in terms of content. Large social networks think in terms of behavior. Like let's say I get a chip on my shoulder about... the Ukraine war, one direction or another. And I start finding a way to insert my opinion on every thread. My opinion on the Ukraine war is fine. Any individual post I might make is fine and contextual to the convo. But I'm bringing down the over-all quality of discussion by basically spamming every convo with my personal grievance.

Some kinds of content also gets banned, like child abuse material and other obvious things. But the hard part is the "behavior" type bans.

Are you also US only hiring or True Remote from the other side of the globe ?
A good question. Here is 2021 study:

“Takeaway: We observe that QUIC provides significant improvements over TLS/TCP in low-bandwidth and high-RTT regions for video downloads. QUIC handshakes towards YouTube media servers offer an improvement of 534 ms (IN) and 406 ms (DE) when compared with TLS/TCP. We also observe that the overall download rate for TLS/TCP is higher than QUIC partly due to kernel optimizations such as LRO available for the TCP stack. QUIC provides a better video streaming experience with a lesser number and duration of stall events compared to TLS/TCP. We observe that TLS/TCP exhibits up to 50% longer stall durations compared to QUIC at 50th percentile for high loss networks.“

Also the study discussed about the server-side CPU usage. If you are worried about server-side offloading, you can still stick to TCP/IP until the hardware acceleration and other offloading catches up.

Yes, I suppose Signal could replace other packages on your system by updating their package lists with versions newer than those on the official index.

But again: what's the threat model here? If you're worried about someone stealing your messages, then they don't need root access -- they just need to give you a malicious build of Signal. That's way easier in an unofficial ecosystem like Snap than it is with a third-party package repository that Signal's developers are signing for.

(My understanding is that you can also configure apt to limit packages on a per-source basis, but I won't recommend that since I don't think anybody bothers to do that.)
