Is it "really weird," though? Layoffs, especially when you start talking about entire teams, divisions, products, etc. is about revenue, profitability, and righting the ship (or safeguarding the ship so you don't have to right it 6 months from now). Whether Jim got "exceeds expectations" or "greatly exceeds expectations" is irrelevant when an EVP needs to trim $12M off their budget and Jim's department lost $9M last year.

This tool looks quite similar to Amie.so - which I use in conjunction with Todoist - do you have any major differentiating features? It seems like mainly there are more integrations

It seems unfortunate that the free plan is really just a 7 day trial, unless I misunderstood
> Some would say, a job description with "transdisciplinary and integrative" in the first sentence is unlikely to clarify matters much.

True, but it describes very well system engineering.

That seems to be the new language. "We do not know what the system does, but look how beautifuly is described."
2 things:

- It's hilarious that oil companies are now being maligned for not producing enough oil. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

- Oil is something that you can't just turn on or off. Especially when it comes to refining it. US diesel production, for example, was tooled to rely on heavy, sour crude from the Balkans that we no longer get.

Space is also vast, Kessler syndrome is mostly a threat to a small percentage of orbits. The bottom of LEO blurs the line between space flight and aircraft because nothing can stay there for long without active boosters.

At the other end there is a vast mostly empty space above, below, and around geostationary orbit.

> If you load a main.py that has an infinite loop (common on micro controllers because there is no os)

Whether a loop is infinite or not doesn't depend on the presence of an OS. Were you thinking of "tight loop"? Now since Python is interpreted, the loop will never be all that tight, interrupts will still be handled. If you experienced that a ^C from the (USB attached) serial console didn't interrupt the program, that warrants further investigation methinks.

Thanks! I've been really strongly influenced by great constructionists like Brian Silverman (who worked on Scratch and early Lego Mindstorms). He also helped consult on Sprig actually. We wanted to have a nice composable construct kit of ideas which would make getting started easy but which would still be fun for experts.

I've been really impressed with how well people can build out really engaging games with simple graphics but interesting game mechanics. The community already has pushed it beyond what we originally expected when designing the engine.
How much more pain do you think the S&P500 is in for over the next 12-24 months given the current "macro" landscape?

If tech companies miss earnings again when they report for Q4, do they have another 10-20% drop left in them again?
No, they are not - I have both personal and business apps up to date on Android plus the latest web and desktop apps - that feature is not available!

> the presence of that community on your site has effects that spread beyond the community itself, it shapes the way people interact even outside the soft-banned subreddit

In my experience, this depends on the community size.

In a small community, "platforming" assholes (rather than "deplatforming" them) may act to retain the assholes as users (where they would otherwise leave for lack of platform); and then those asshole-users, since they're already there, may also interact in other, non-quarantined subforums on the site — to other users' detriment.

In a large community (society, really), e.g. Reddit or Twitter, the asshole-users are going to stick around either way, since people have multiple interests, and the site likely already gives them many other things they want besides just "a plaform to talk about their asshole opinions on." They weren't there primarily to be assholes; they just are assholes, but are going to stick around either way.

So, for large sites, the only real decision you're making by quarantining vs banning a certain sub-community that's full of assholes (rather than doing active moderation of certain discussion topics, regardless of where they occur) is whether the asshole-users' conversations mostly end up occurring in the quarantined forum, or spread out across the rest of the site where they can't be hidden.

It's a bit like prostitution regulation. Prostitution is going to happen in a city no matter what; it's just a question of whether such activity is "legible" or "illegible" to city government. Some cities choose to have an explicitly-designated red-light district and licensing for sex workers; these cities at least ensure that any activity associated with prostitution — e.g. human trafficking, gang violence, etc — occurs mostly within that district, where police presence can be focused. Most cities, though, choose to "protect their image" by having no such district. This option does not result in less prostitution; it only hides it throughout the city, making police investigation of crimes related to sex work much less likely to be reported, and much more difficult to investigate.
I like the veggie idea, too. I'm adding it to my synonym phrase bank!
The kOS mod in Kerbal Space Program does exactly this. Very satisfying to write a script and then launch something into a particular orbit.
You didn't realize what you were doing was against the license?
> Once your servers become the de facto public square,

So use legislation to tackle that problem. You're admitting it's not really a free speech issue.
Incremental compilation is already even more fine-grained than by file- it is based on rustc's internal query system.

There is room to improve parallelization, though. Cargo will parallelize invocations of rustc (by crate) and rustc will parallelize backend code generation (functions in a crate are load balanced automatically) but the frontend is still not parallel.
It delays profitability relative to simply laying employees off with more-traditional severance.

The manual has some good overview and explains every module and slider.

Daily payouts isn't the issue. Of course we get the payouts daily. But when they lock your account and you have $5M+ in recurring revenue from subscriptions on recurring revenue then you have a real problem.
Just want to mention that modular mode (the encoding technique for lossless mode) does have flags that let you have a bit of loss (by changing a quality flag), though by default what you said is correct, it is fully lossless.
Def, I meant more moving up the timeline to get it into this new cycle.

I make mistakes all the time as a developer, I would hate to be fired for them and if I would, I would never claim responsibility.

And that's why I don't get how people expect directors/managers to be infallible.

Taking responsibility isn't about walking away from the job, but learning from it and making it right.

Whether that is done well in this case, I don't know, but that wasn't your point. As far as I can tell they got pretty decent severance packages.
I've never ever ran into a situation where holding the power button for ~15 seconds didn't reset the phone. This stuff runs at a _way_ lower level than the software you can mess with.

Non-removable batteries are still stupid though.
I’ve been wondering the same. At some point it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sadly enough we cannot A/B test both scenarios: one with the (possible) mass hysteria and one where everyone stays calm and stays the course.
i don't think thats a healthy way of looking at things, workers being treated unfairly/badly (even if they are privilege) isn't good because normalization of such treatment just makes it easier to do it to more vulnerable workers elsewhere

abuse is abuse, full stop
This sounds a bit like you want Factorio or Satisfactory.
Yes, generally accepted everywhere Visa and MasterCard are welcomed.

The only problems I've encountered are with recurring billing --- i.e. subscription services. They seem to have concerns about future funds availability.

Yeah, that's a valid point. I probably could've written a better headline. This tool is more intended for coming up with ideas for writing headlines, social posts etc
They could always get into VC.
You've identified the actual problem in your post but you're still stuck on "free speech" issues.
Every tech company has only a fraction of the works that traditional companies have compared to their value.
Hello, yes that is me. Sprig is really cool.
How do you differentiate types with jevko (numbers, strings, boolean)? Your examples on jevko.org appear lossy as they encode in the same way things that are different in JSON and I don't know how you would then differentiate between true and "true", 27 and "27", etc.
Man, I wish something like this would have existed back when I was trying to make choose-your-own-adventure games in QBASIC back in my teens! This is really awesome!
Awesome, I appreciate you writing this up.

"There is an existing thing called "network radio". Basically devices that look like a walkie talkie but take a SIM card, are actually a 3G/4G cellular data device and which do push-to-talk VOIP."

That's interesting to know.

Thanks a lot, some stuff to Google haha
I wonder how much the culture of standardized testing has contributed to this pattern. The idea that it's somehow unfair to test relevant skills and knowledge because previous exposure comes down to simple chance. That for a test to be "objective" it should only ask about abstract matters no one would ever reasonably encounter. It strikes me as sort of essentialist.

It also seems sort of contradictory... if experience in the field is one of the most important criteria, why are they implicitly avoiding testing for that?
Use of terms like “be better” or “do better” arouses far more resistance in people than the original use of slurs. What leads you to believe you’re endowed with moral authority to tell strangers to be better?
I thought that article was quite lazy. It was a long winded way of saying "I opened some photos in each application and compared the out-of-the-box rendering to LightRoom, but made no further effort to try and see what might make these applications worthwhile."
They could run out of money of course. It’s about the cash flow. When rates were low a lot of companies used debt to acquire cash, use it to hire/spend beyond their current means in order to expand their business (more revenue later). This is pretty common, use debt to build a warehouse/data center/app widget/etc. In a recession, that extra revenue may not come, so they need to cut spending so spending < revenue instead.

Especially a company like Lyft that is likely losing money many months. I don’t know about today, but Uber and Lyft were famous for using venture capital to spend more than they took in every month. Eventually they run out of cash reserves, or they decide they can’t acquire more.
My main issue with Borg is disk space needed locally for backup.

No idea on the rest, but the reason why I discarded it as an option.
My speculation from a non-financial expert view might be that as an average investor deciding where to put money, Amazon stock doesn’t seem like a good bet when there’s very low risk easy ways to get at least 4.5%. Maybe they are working on a way to show investors why they’d be a better investment.

This is speculation, so would love any corrections or counter points.
It says they laid off much of the recruiting team, so nobody is left to remove the listings.
Regardless of whether you actually should* be able to, "should" and "can" don't always match.

* I'm sure Signal would object to you redistributing binaries under their name, even if you claim they are unmodified, but they can't verify that fact. And honestly such an objection seem pretty reasonable.
Yishan could really benefit from some self editing. There are like 5 tweets worth of interesting content in this hundred tweet meandering thread.
Banning harassing behaviour doesn't necessarily entail banning people. You can also make the reasons for suppression publicly visible and so auditable to expose any such lies.

More transparent systems with less suppression or banning are clearly possible, but commercial entities don't want to hold themselves to strict rules which is why they keep the rules and processes opaque. This same trend is seen in both social media and app stores.
Looking at the source code, they're using the newer Camera2 API. I have no expertise in implementing said API, and a quick comparison between Signal's code and that of Open Camera suggests the Signal developers don't have a whole lot more.

It also has some questionable decisions in it like cropping to close to the screen's aspect ratio rather than using the native aspect ratio of the sensor. I never want that behavior.
How often do you use bandwidth use from those TB? IIRC, s3 can be cheaper b/c of the tiered service options, but if you are eating in the bandwidth bill from amazon, you may see joy from R2.
That's a rather inspiring article! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the suggestions. E2EE sync is on our roadmap. We have made the first step by adding login with email/password (secure remote password protocol). At the moment account is required for having pro features.
The danger is whenever anyone feels like asking others to check out there pretty good work, someone will inevitably find problems. It's just life and our limits as humans. What I have noted is the people that carry themselves as huge geniuses are the ones who make huge oversights. The best is someone quietly humble, doing awesome work, has depth when you ask them.

I am sure if you were in the dev field for years without a degree then you'd get tired of being second guessed for not having that piece of paper from a college.
Netflix is a media company as I said.

Well 4K vs HD, you are right, but 480p on a Retina display right in front of me. Really obvious.
they dont need some excuse, they can do it whenever they want for whatever reason they want. they dont hire the people in the first place if they dont think they need to
Yeah, of course I won't do that because I might lose that device and it takes space, times the number of banks giving me their own hardware.

I keep my hardware key generator at home. I need it only to perform some operations from my computer. Everything I do outside home is with the phone, which funnily is its own 2FA device. Banks and regulators accept that for the sake of convenience.
Sounds like it’s a built in, automatically installed app like Mail that comes with iOS 16.2 and can be removed. If you then want it back it can be reinstalled from the store.
Obsoleted means approximately the same thing as deprecated, except for verb subject.
I keep all my raw files in git-annex. I wouldn't say that it is effortless, you need to have a good understand of git, but if you do, it works really well and is extremely flexible. Raw files go in git annex and sidecar files (XMP, PP3) go into git itself.
Graphs like this is pretty much useless. Governments around the world, not just the US, will use numbers like this to "prove" that there's plenty of work. It just don't work like that. What good is it that there a two jobs out there, just for you, except one is as an engineer and one is as a neuro surgeon and so far you only ever worked at a sandwich shop.

The majority of unemployed people are nowhere near qualified, or even able to hold the jobs that are available. Some simply don't have the IQ for it, some have mental issues or other health problems, unable to afford to relocate and some simply aren't cut out for the job market. I have an acquaintance who is basically dependent on unemployment being 0%. He's a nice, interesting and somewhat smart guy, but he don't understand jobs and is unable to hold a job for more than a few months.

It doesn't matter if there are plenty of work, because the pool of people able to fill those positions are way more limited than governments and companies are willing to admit.
Damn, you got me excited for a minute that there was new release. But no, this hasn't been updated since 2020. I use rawtherapee a lot, and really like it. There is fork, ART, which is more up to date. But in my experience rawtherapee is snappier, for some reason, so I stick with that most of the time. But if you want something more cutting edge then try ART

Not only do they not understand what's going on (how could they?) -- but they've been financially strip-mined so thoroughly, for so long, for so great an amount of wealth, that it beggars the imagination.

The "free money" that's been tossed to the masses is literally chump change, a rounding error. The Tsunami of the wealth transfer to the elites defies imagination.

Take your eyes off these trinkets; they're distracting you from the gang-rape going on in the background.
I am a big fan of Sprigs. It is kind of crazy that my game is on the front page. Sprig is really easy to make games with, but it is also capable enough to make more complex things.

I believe a lot of corps got spooked when the first announcement were made and they started to look into their labor pools and saw that they are highly inefficient. If your products are mostly software based it's easy to scale back if you do production or engineering (other than software) it's not that's why you see companies like Apple or Tesla not scaling back as much as the rest.

Yeah, so you're going to go march in there and do something? What exactly are you proposing here?

It's a layoff. It happens. It's ironically a sign of them being good executives and doing what they need to do to keep their company viable so they can keep the ship running going forward for the remaining sustainable head count.
Modification of binaries of open source projects is a common and perhaps the only issue from a trademark standpoint. Firefox and debian used to have this too until they resolved it at some point.
Legal vs illegal cannot be enforced on a private platform because the truth procedure for "legal vs illegal" involves a judge, lawyers, often waiting for years.

What you can enforce is "so and so says it is illegal" (accurate 90% or 99% or 99.9% of the time but not 100%) or some boundary that is so far away from illegal that you never have to use the ultimate truth procedure. The same approach works against civil lawsuits, boycotts and other pressure which can be brought to bear.

I think of a certain anime image board which contains content so offensive it can't even host ads for porn that stopped taking images of cosplayers or any real life people because it eliminated moderation problems that otherwise would be difficult.

There is also spam (should spam filters for email be banned because the violate the free speech of spammers?) and other forms of disingenuous communication. When you confront a troll inevitably they will make false comparisons (e.g. banning Kiwi Farms is like banning talk to the effect that trans women could damage the legitimacy of women's sports just when people are starting to watch women's sports)

On top of that there are other parties involved. That anime site I mention above has no ads and runs at very low cost but has sustainability problems because it used to sell memberships but got cut off by payment providers. You might be happy to read something many find offensive but an advertiser might not want to be seen next to it. The platform might want to do something charitable but hosting offensive talk isn't it.
I fail to see how this does anything to combat inflation. At best it may buy some votes and maybe help some families short term. I do not see how anything one country does can combat world-wide inflation. There are too many Geo-political incidents popping off that are contributing to food shortages and rising energy costs. Do things get worse before they get better? Out of my own curiosity, does anyone buy into the "fourth turning" theories?
Literally translating a menu, as Google Lens would do, isn't always helpful, though. Many dishes have names which are metaphorical (like "pasta primavera" or "drunken noodles"), or which allude to the origin of a dish (like "beef Stroganoff" or "Cuban sandwich"). Simply knowing what the words mean doesn't necessarily help you understand what you're going to be eating -- a guide like the one AlbertCory is describing can expand those words to more useful descriptions.
Looks like on average an L3 SWE at Stripe gets paid 215k stock, 218k stock, 34k bonus. So ~53% of pay is liquid (cash), the rest equity in a private company.
