That's just modern technology. I'm not aware of any country where labour laws would prevent logging employees out remotely. There are some where you can't be laid off immediately, but even there you could be denied access to the systems and just get paid for the rest of your tenure I believe?
What do you mean “whoever decided should be the first to go”? Musk decided. He’s pissed he overpaid and he thinks the whole company is a clusterfuck. This isn’t a “management failure”, it’s by design. Elon is cleaning house. Speed, not collateral damage, is his priority.

Same. I wish there were a Bandcamp-like model for ebooks: try-before-you-buy, no DRM, reasonable prices, most of the money goes to the artist. Since I've started using Bandcamp, I have bought so much music that I otherwise wouldn't have.
MattY is extremely consistent, but also can't help himself and constantly tweets in a layer of irony or two. This causes some people to get extraordinarily mad at him in the replies, at which point I like to play a game of figuring out how they misread the tweet, which they always seem to have done.

His actual articles are perfectly straightforward, sincere, and usually on some topic like "Boston subway stations should cost less to build".
You’re minimizing the entire idea of content moderation to a profanity filter and boobs. Kind of missing the broader picture here.
Yep that’s it, the code is data, data is code thing, which makes it trivial to write Lisp programs that produce Lisp programs (that in turn produce Lisp programs). Macros all the way down, and at the bottom a couple of elephants.
There is also a node-js library called node-oidc-provider. Does anyone know how those libraries compare?
The not showing up to the office is kind of irrelevant.

Not having a consultation period, whether people are working or on "gardening leave", is illegal in CA, NY, the UK, and many other places for an employer of that size.
Chest freezers are not meant for daily use. We have a normal vertical frige/freezer combo in the kitchen, and a large chest freezer in the basement for storing berries, meat etc. over the winter. I access the chest freezer maybe once a month to move stuff to the kitchen freezer.

> And they were brought there by the british & french mainly.

So were slaves in the Caribbean. Should they not have rights to the islands on which they have lived for generations?

It’s pretty simple:

They were taken from their homes as slaves. They were forced to work in plantations for generations. Slavery ended but they had no “home” to return to and called the island where they had settled home.

Whether they were forcible taken there doesn’t suddenly mean it’s not their home.

> because someone might have been exploited

Can we just be super clear that we are talking about former slaves here. As much as might like to talk about “compensation” (source??) these are people who were taken from their homes as slaves, transported across vast oceans and forced to work in generally pretty horrible conditions. There is no “might have been exploited” here, they were very clearly exploited in an extreme way.

> It's about blocking physical access for employees who were expected to show up at the office, without prior notice or any change in contract terms

For 1 day, maybe a week or so by the sounds of it. It's not like they're suddenly closing all the offices permanently
I didn't compare it, since I haven't used Gephi, but I heard it's useful for large graphs. I don't like the user interface. It looks a bit outdated. I guess it's a good visualization tool, but I am not sure what it offers regarding the data import options and storage. If I need data persistency, I would rather choose a graph database which offers visualization tool. But if I only want to visualize my data, I would probably turn to tools such as Gephi.
No, because the heat is rejected inside of the store. So there is actually a net temperature increase in the store
I have a chest freezer converted to a fridge. If I had the skills (I don't), I would make the lid so that it can rise vertically at the push of a button. That is, hydraulics, at the push of a button the door would lift vertically and all the shelves (I would have built if skilled and the shelves would be grates so as not to trap cold air and bring it up out of the box) would rise with it. The top of the lid could be a work surface when closed.

There is the issue of cleanup and condensation. That is something would would need to be solved or at least be made easy to clean.
The UK has those too, including entire open sections of milk jugs where the delivery cart-shelf is parked into.

Though some supermarkets in the UK seem to have a simple "solution" to this problem: turn the AC inside the building to a maximum. Last summer, it was 32°C outside, and a chilling 15°C inside.

Doorless fridges aren't a problem if you consider the whole shop as the fridge. /s
Correct. Places with a statutory consulting period can lock you out, but they have to pay you for the consultation period.
The day to day work life is probably the same level of huge contrast as these layoffs. I think that matters more to people than a few thousand dollars difference in pay, when that pay is likely to be in top 2-3% of all US jobs (over 200k).
Fridges in stores typically have the condensor coils (the bit that gets hot) placed outdoors. That's why they're expensive to install and can't be moved around by the store staff.

If home refrigerators did the same, it would reduce your electric bill quite a lot, especially in places where A/C is used.
Musk is capricious, cruel, and clueless. Whether or not you liked Twitter, it's a culturally significant platform, and Musk has almost certainly destroyed any hope it had of surviving. In barely a week. Hopefully it destroys him, too.

> americans can sign away their rights to sue at their own courts? That seems wrong.

You still have immediate access to the courts if you are challenging the legality of the contract (i.e. something is actually against the law in the contract or you are claiming the contract is so unjust it should be allowed ). If it's just a dispute under the terms of the agreement, you usually have to do arbitration and then you can go to court. Every time I've done arbitration, the outcome has been pretty fair (which to me, means I won) and even a better experience that US Courts are. US Courts use an adversarial system, so if you don't spend a lot of time in courtrooms (which I don't), it's not a pleasant place to be even when you win.
I think they will better integrate systemd-boot with secure boot and eventually revoke access to the current shim signer, in essence forcing major distros to adopt systemd-boot.

I can't exactly figure out how they'd use that level of control over the Linux boot, but I'm not a huge fan of them having it.
No, and workers rights are usually about the amount of compensation for all this. In France, which we cant argue is laissez-faire capitalist, they can burn the company to the ground with all your work stuff for all we care so long as they compensate heavily, financially, for all the surprise unemployment.

People think work is democratic but it s not: it's transactional and worker rights are just here to pay workers more, not give them any sort of novel ownership of the work tools.

That can be done, but it s called communism and never works because workers want money not access to their work pc, and leaders want money not management oversight of every single work tool. So you end up with people pretending to work for people pretending to pay them in a lunatic worker paradise where there are no humans anymore, just workers and their work tool mindlessly fullfilling the glorious work tasks assigned to them by mindless work allocators.
Not allowing employees to leave the office is very different from not allowing them into the office.

Reading the article and not having a stake in twitter (no account, no stocks, don’t use it at all), seems reasonable. It’s basically, we’re closing office tomorrow, exit the premises please.

Not dystopian at all and there was nothing in the article about go home and work, just go home and receive decision information.
Had a similar experience back in the early 00’s. Kinda back-fired though - one of the developers had happened to notice that a .com domain name they’d been desperate to buy for some time (because it was the name of their licensed IP) had become available a few days beforehand.

He’d bought it immediately planning to hand it over to the business… wasn’t quite so keen once they laid him off!

Children not reaching it is an asset, in my household
My question isn't taking any of that away from Lisp.

I'm not saying it hasn't served its purpose, I'm just saying that the claim that it's not a dead language is wrong, and you seem to agree.
My gut says this is 90+% driven by FOMO, rather than any compelling business case for the metaverse.
It was ntl (styled as ntl:). Like your nerd house friends I had ntl in my house on the Cowley Road, and they offered a dual-line service so we had one line connected to the modem pool full-time (my SuSE Linux desktop ran an RFC1918 network for the other computers in the house).

Sadly around the time this history comes to an end OUCS (now IT Services) abandoned much of its work with bespoke open source development to become the Microsoft money funnel it is now. I say "sadly" not just out of a preference for free software: the way in which this was done deeply affected the mental health of some of the staff involved.
Ideally the temporal database system stores both the state after the modification as well as the events/changes which lead on to the new state.

That is true at a company level but if you want to have an authentic company culture, you need more glue, not less. Managers can fulfill that function to some degree but the key difference is that managers are in a position of power towards the rest of the team, which changes the social dynamics and makes it harder for them to create cohesion within the team the same way someone at the team's level can. This is also extremely difficult to hire for.

So what you usually end up at 3 or 4 digit companies is astroturf and mandatory fun days. The adhesion to the company will be fueled by sales and marketing, the cohesion within teams will be imposed by team building techniques. It's all very artificial and superficial because you can't grow social bonds top-down.

It can be profitable and when you've grown this large employee churn will likely be less of a problem (see Meta) but it's a much less pleasant environment to exist in as a human being.
"It's the functional equivalent of an attorney's XP level", I laughed embarrassingly loud.

Thank you and grandparent for recommendations.
I agree, discussing this is pointless as we've demonstrated.

Ascribing defintions to yourself that you think I have, or might, call you, in anticipation, is where we're at.

As someone else said. Our current ruling party (or a section of it, considering the internal war going on) are pushing polices that were not out of place (and actually, in terms of the Rwanda nonsense) beyond where the BNP and National Front were 40 years ago, which I think we can agree were 'the far right'.

Again, if you're unwilling to acknowledge this, you've jumped off the logical and historical diving board into a sea of nonsense.

My condolences.

As the first paragraph of that article points out, advance notice is required by federal law, if the company is sufficiently large and if sufficiently many people are being laid off at the same time. At-will employment is not relevant.

Part of this is not energy savings, but food safety - doorless fridges often have some products near the front that aren't kept to the required sub-5C. Meat products often require 0-3C nowadays too, which is an even narrower range and even harder to meet across all products in a doorless fridge.

Lower and more precise temperatures reduces food waste, which indirectly reduces both costs and energy use.
Do you mean working at Twitter now under Elon or historically? Because I’m not sure that Twitter has historically been more demanding.
You need to bury it on the moon.
There is a reason the moon is full of holes.
The Aldi nearest to us has fridges with doors & chest freezers.

Which implies that the expense of fridgeless systems must be worth eliminating, as Aldi are laser focused on cost.
You have to admit that he invested in some companies in fields that no-one was looking into. He's made a few big bets that have paid off extremely well. That's not nothing, and is impressive but it's not building a company. By all accounts he's a bit of a micro-manager, but I suspect there's only so much he could micro-manage or actually contribute directly in ventures like SpaceX or Tesla (he did make a door-handle patent tho).

Twitter on the other hand is another matter - no huge technical barriers stopping him from getting his hands dirty, no lives are at stake or regulatory bodies that are going to tell him "no that is dangerous" - so we're finally seeing what Elon unleashed looks like. So far it can probably be described as "chaotic" at best, it remains to be seen whether this chaos will disperse and Twitter will emerge leaner and better.

My belief is that he doesn't understand Twitter and its users quite as well as he thinks, and that Twitter will slowly get a bit more annoying and less profitable until he loses interest or gets distracted by something else. We will see, I use Twitter a lot so I hope that I'm wrong.
Huh. The original HTTP (later renamed HTTP/0.9 in order to differentiate it from HTTP/1.0) is really quite similar: it appears to basically be gopher with an additional method (always GET) prepended to the document reference; no request headers, no response status code nor response headers.

Clearly not the future of dating.
You are right for freezers, but the article mentions a freezer that was converted to a fridge, which implies that the contents are for shorter term storage and is a different use case.
He probably considers being lumped in with certain other Indians pejorative.

It's funny, on producing that interpretation my first thought was 'He must be high caste'. Now that's a negative stereotype!

Never mind that, the major issue is real estate: a horizontal fridge uses twice the real estate, and in a Western country the cost of that small patch of ground will vastly exceed the running costs of the fridge.
POs have different incentives - they usually get rewarded for features built. A good PO has lots of ideas, some of those may be good for the product ("we will serve more relevant ads if we spy on our users!") and bad for the brand. The ML Ethics teams are usually part of the legal teams and are staffed mainly with lawyers. Not sure how it was with Twitter. It's also entirely possible those teams did not do a very good job, considering what a sh1thole Twitter is, so they may as well do without one.

The energy consumption of a fridge depends on what it takes to cool the entire contents within a fridge, because heat from center of the food will travel to the surface when the surface cools down. Till the temperature of the entire food item matches the set temperature of the fridge, the fridge will be running. When you open the fridge, warm air enters the fridge, and the contents of the fridge gain heat.

Then there's variability depending on thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of various foods. So what you're trying to calculate is heavily dependent on the actual contents, not just surface area.

Of course, fridges have cycling behavior similar to an AC that turns on as soon as temp dips below a set temp, but has a window of sorts. Making the above math even more complicated.
> What about Foxconn China not allowing employees to go home because of ,,zero COVID policy''?

It is a little dystopian, but (assuming you're talking about the Zhengzhou story from a couple of days ago) it's also not Foxconn's decision. The local government mandated that the industrial park be locked down.

It's also worth noting that many workers at places like Foxconn live in on-site dorms anyway.
Are there any standard benchmarks for POSIX systems, facilitating objective comparisons between schedulers? When I was reading the dinosaur book, I was continually impressed by the elegance of solutions used in Solaris, scheduler being one of the highlights. However, a sense of elegance may be poorly calibrated, and I’d like to look at some hard data about how Solaris (today Illumos) stacks up against BSDs and Linux. Sadly I’m not knowledgable enough about operating systems to write a good set of such benchmarks myself, so I’d prefer to lean on the expertise of smarter people.
It’s privately held so we don’t actually know that. However, SpaceX was valued at around $120 billion in their last funding round.
Not always, I have seen such fridges with ducts running the hot air out. Or as othees mention, the heatpump outside and gas piping.

Still losses to have to cool down to 5 Celsius instead of 20 Celsius though, makes the heat pump a lot less energy efficient.
Poland has cheaper electricity, so there is less incentive for savings.
> And yes, all those countries are ultimately creations of European colonial times but that's irrelevant.

These countries were totally unpopulated before Europeans arrived. Of course it isn't irrelevant.
I have 6 years of experience and it took two months of active recruiting(since July) for me for Senior/upper Regular positions in non-faang companies. I ended up getting a pretty decent but boring project in a small company that pays really well. I applied to dozens of companies, had actual response from maybe a third of them, more than half of those offered heavily under-market salaries or ghosted me. Ended up with ~5 actual tech interviews, with three offers. Only one of them was actually interesting but they tried to undercut what I wanted by 20% after two months long recruitment process which I found disrespectful, especially since they knew what I asked for since the beginning. Chose the 'stable boring thing' in the end. So it's not that much different with 5-10 years of experience, sadly.
I had the pleasure of working with Travis during my Cricinfo days and he was fantastic. Picked up some nifty Perl chops from him and in general a great guy to watch Cricket over beers with. I lost touch with him over the last few years and its indeed an extremely sad news.
Did you read the original article? It is a one-side argument basically saying there's no reason at all to not use a chest fridge and the parent comment just objectively gave a few. If one aren't capable of rational thinking and be able to hold different views (ie pros and cons) simultaneously then they shouldn't be giving opinion at all. Next you know everyone holding a different opinion is just stupid or selfish or whatever.
Why are you ok outsourcing to a legal department, but not an ethics one?

> Not allowing employees to leave the office is very different from not allowing them into the office.

Yes. It's much worse.
What would happen if you could get the chest freezer where the door doesn't swing open vertical, but rises vertical upwards? The door could become a work surface. When you need access, you could push a button, or lift it and the entire door would lift straight up. Anything on top, would remain in place. Now for something like this to work it would need a series of shelves (grated shelves to allow the cold air to remain inside) on the interior that could move up. Sort of like a vertical lazy susan.

Essentially, the chest freezer could become part of the kitchen work surfaces or it could be come an island work area, not taking up valuable real estate - it would be the valuable real estate. I have always thought this could be the way instead of vertical standing models.
In the early 70s the Oxford Physics Dept ran a Decsystem 10 as I recall that isn't mentioned in the history. Unfortunately the only language available through the timesharing system was Basic.
It's humiliating because printing out code (or more commonly "printing out emails") is literally a meme, and I have read multiple articles alleging that after printing, the employees were instructed to shred the papers, without anyone having looked at them. That sounds a lot like Musk trolling by demanding his underlings print their code.
