>>> If upward real wage rigidity exists

How many people have formal annual wage negotiations?
It's rare in my experience. But imagine a law that required say two 30 minute wage and conditions negotiations one week apart every year? For every employee.

Pretty much every other input has an annual contract and a negotiation period - suppliers of everything do this.

And then imagine a private industry of agents (call them selves Trades Unions perhaps) that would block negotiate for people signed up.

(yeah why is that not a thing?)
It's hidden, but is it encrypted?
5GB/hr sounds more than enough for video conferencing!? Does your job require you to do that in 4k?

Basically all employment contracts in Europe have a dualsided probatonary period in which both sides can walk away, only if you decide to stay would you have a 4 week notice period from the employee side of the contract.
Yeah, I’ve had a very similar dreadful experience once.

Didn’t get fired, just left myself after a while. They wouldn’t fire at the time, as the project required all hands on deck.

Still puzzling to me to be honest. I keep revisiting it in my head, but just can’t put my finger on what went wrong.
Same here.

Growing up fully immersed in the capitalist world it’s easy to think that this is the natural state of things.

This book, among others, helped me change perspective and challenge my assumptions about the world.

Totally recommended.
It’s really hard to cache content pre-emptively.

Netflix uses multiple Gbps per cache node during off hours to refresh content in order to get decent hit rates.

And Netflix is just one service with a limited content library.
Mastodon may not have the better interface, or the better community, or it may not yet be the most intuitive to use.

But I want to invest my time to help Mastodon reach the critical mass it needs. I would love to have a social network not controlled by capitalistic needs, and let open source developers help evolve it.
Do you think the Chinese government tells their citizens that they are shamelessly "operating pseudo-blackhat hacking teams"? No, of course not, just like yout Government doesn't tell you that either. The only reason you think the West is the only trying to maintain "a sheen of legality" is that their voice is the only one you're listening to.
If I recall correctly, it was initially built on a relicensed version of Mastodon, with federation disabled. No idea what's going on with it now, or if it was even legal to do so with Mastodon's AGPL license.

95% of them are bots, that leaves only 15mil accounts.

If they all sign up, they will make an extra $1.4 bil a year, which would certainly help. But they will be getting half as many ads, so if you halve the advertising revenue that is losing $2.5 bil a year - net net a reduction of twitter revenue of $0.9bil
Sounds like if they are complaining, they've thought it through...
A Mastodon instance owner can read everything you've ever posted, log everything even if you deleted it, doxx your IP and your private messages, delete or modify everything about your account on a whim and block you even if you make an account elsewhere. Plus they can keep very quiet about it since they have zero accountability.

So yeah, you can go to another instance, but better keep some kind of backup because you could be gone without notice
there could be a number of reasons other than "Elon doesn't care about xyz"

Chips are made by etching lines into a special kind of glass. The etching is done with light. The smaller the light, the smaller the lines. Red light is big, violet light is small. Extreme ultra-violet light is really small, so they can etch really small lines. When the lines are small, the electricity moves through them more quickly, so the chip’s work gets done faster.
So what happens when your house mortgage is in negative equity? Just means you’ll need to hodl longer?
From a security standpoint point you would want the opposite, the stricter doas on the more exposed servers and and the less strict sudo on the personal desktop.
One could argue the accessibility team wasn't doing a very good job if Mastodon have done it better without a dedicated team.

An application can and should have good accessibility by default without a dedicated team
Thanks for the correction. I should have read the producthunt page before providing my uninformed guess.
There is a very strong signal being given right now about the trend Twitter will be on for a long time.
Seems Kropotkin was always doomed to be dubbed a "revolutionary" (in
the negative sense) purely by dint of his observations. Humans don't
live "in nature". We live within systems we build. The cooperative
struggle against a hostile environment naturally becomes one against
the incumbent system [1]. The system therefore naturally mobilises to
disrupt cooperation, to divide and disorient. And therein lies the
paradox of digital communication, that the more we are connected - via
the system - the more we are divided.

French turboshaft engine: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safran_Ardiden

If my understanding of history is correct the Indian military was one of the biggest historical customers of the Alouette helicopter, so this is continuing a long historical track record of India buying this tech from France.

For me, free as in freedom is the primary concern. A proprietary programming language seems a bit ridiculous. I don't see myself paying for a programming language either, though. Libre and gratis are the norm in this space, so going against that sticks out in a bad way. It's like text editors and web browsers. We've had good free options for a long time. Anyone trying to push a non-free option might as well be giving out malware. That malware isn't appealing whether it has a pricetag or not.
According to Wikipedia it's based on the previous Indian helicopter, the Dhruv, which was developed with German help (MBB, now Airbus) and uses French engines (Turbomeca, now Safran).

You've had multiple replies, but I think that one key piece of information missing from all of them is the fact that you could move between floating and fixed. In your example you might see rates going up and you'd decide to change from the floating rate to a fixed rate for a term of 1-5 years. A few years later you might go back to floating. You might also have your mortgage split up into 2 or 3 tranches with 1 floating and 1or2 fixed at different rates.
You can move from floating to fixed at any time, but you can only from fixed to floating at the end of the fixed term (or earlier by paying the bank a break fee)
I assume tluyben2 means that if the db's index is bad the query has to do a much more expensive scan of the database. By adding correct indices this can be fixed.

> This subreddit has something like 1000+ moderators and they remove any comments that doesn't fit into Reddit's very narrowly defined overton window

Or the subreddit has a very strict set of rules for posting top level comments which include:

> 3. Non-professional personal anecdotes will be removed

> 4. Criticism of published work should assume basic competence of the researchers and reviewers

> 5. Comments dismissing established findings and fields of science must provide evidence
Isnt this really a question the reflectivity and amount of absorption in the atmosphere of the wavelength you're using?
I find Mastodon doomed by design, understanding design as a whole, not just software. It looks like the technical right choice, including all the bells and whistles: decentralized, own your instance, etc.

However twitter's issue, and most of social network issues are the human factor. And by that design Mastodon is not inmune to any of it, it even encourages larger echo chambers, and reduces audiences.

I would say, very tech savvy people used their hammer to something they believed to be a nail.
*this year
The sad thing is that I jumped to Matrix (with Element) and waited for the influx; 2 people moved. The rest either stayed on WhatsApp or moved to Telegram (to be fair, almost all my contacts, including my mother, actually did move to Telegram from WhatsApp). No signal, no matrix.

Matrix is nice in theory but Element is not very nice and the messing around with keys is not something most people will understand. This needs to be automatic by default, not a complete pain as it is now.

We have an example of a perfect chat client UI; Telegram. Why is no one just copying it verbatim for matrix? This is a question to, mostly, Element developers really. I don’t know why it is quite as unfriendly as it is, but of course we can all jump in and help out, that’s why I keep using it and sponsoring it. Even though I can only talk to 2 people.
This. Even before Musk arrived there was a lot of debate about Twitter being overstaffed and departments are not producing any value at all. I don't know more or the details, but this is what sometimes I was reading years back.
Because letting a few right leaning voices back to question the lefty loonies who currently run amok on there qualifies as hate speech.

I expect that the feature I’ll miss most from Twitter will be the algorithmic timeline!

I must be old. I remember a time when people wanted a chronological timeline (on by default). Twitter still offers a chronological timeline, but now that people are migrating to Mastodon, I've come across the wish to have an algorithmic timeline again quite often :). I just find this interesting (I can relate, I find the algorithmic timeline "easier" to consume, I don't have to invest time to find the perfect user to follow, I don't have to fiddle with lists etc..., just open Twitter and consume).

(btw.: I'm not using Twitter (also not using Arch scnr))
It's funny comparing the reviews on product hunt[1] to HN. The former has average people and artists - probably the target audience - favoring the product and then there's HN where people are so low commital that they don't even want to sign in or try a different browser.

Anyways, I actually tried it out and... I don't really get it. I would find it frustrating to use when blender is so much snappier and more powerful. I do like the process of using metaballs for design and a lot of whatever the tech is. But I am also surprised at how much effort went into this when this seems really really niche. Someone else linked a video [2] where there's a project with so many layers... bro just use an actual 3d app at that point.

Also that landing page is horrible.

[insert anything] is ridiculously expensive. If you use it the price is absolutely worth it, but if you don't, it's just way overpriced.
Its also amusing seeing left leaning people announcing their Mastodon in a form of protest, then just continue posting only on Twitter. And soon to start visibly ponying up $8/month to Elon.
Thats precisely right - the software itself isn't really that impressive [*], the connections and people is what (can) make it great (or terrible, depending on who you follow).

[*] - as a product - there is some really great engineering due to the scale of course.

I think that’s literally the only thing more annoying than a poorly edited conference video TBH.

I certainly hope they’re joking.
"Going back to the aircraft analogy, if that industry managed risk and vulnerability the way we do in cyber security, there would be planes literally falling out of the sky."

This is an excellent exposé about the present unsatisfactory state of software/cyber security and its unresolved problems by Ian Levy—and it ought to be given his now former position. It ought to be read by everyone in the game.

His quote about the way the industry manages cyber security if applied to the aircraft industry would have planes falling from the sky supports my long-held belief that software development is not yet a real engineering profession.

It is clear to me that until we solve the underlying problems as to why the profession hasn't yet reached this status we are not going to solve the security problem to any reasonable degree of satisfaction.

> Many of the STL containers in MSVC are incredibly cursed. Even std::vector is implemented in such a weird way, that you can't debug it easily with any debugger other than Visual Studio. And it's incredibly slow on Debug mode, up to the point that it's unusable... (Because of these reasons I just switched to using my own Vector<T> class recently)

Here's a link to an old HN discussion that offers some insight on the performance of MSVC's STL in debug.

The "cursed" keyword hand-waves over the problem and suggests it originates in the acritical propagation of ignorant beliefs. Sometimes clarifying these is just a Google search away.

Something like "Address/memory management for a gigantic LISP environment or, GC considered harmful" <https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1317203.1317206>? I think that uses usual LRU mechanisms to determine what to page though.
the single largest Mastodon instance is Japanese if I'm not mistaken, and overall it is significantly less US centric than Twitter. Among the top 15 I count about five Japanese ones, an Italian, French and German one and two dedicated to sex and tech workers. Substantially less US centric than mainstream media, including Twitter which bombards you with US politics even if you are like in my case, German.
Why would not wanting to spend your ads on Twitter be political. The place is a brand risk, only Elon wants you to think this is about owning the libs

This is how facists work- they frame anyone’s dissenting speech and actions as politically opposed.
>many services will just not post a poor review

but the reviewer will notice that the negative review wasn't published. I would seriously consider to leave a platform which doesn't publish negative reviews. Even more so if the review appears to be published, but other users can't see it.

> their failure to cater to every possible browser

That ain't their arrogance. Their arrogance is declaring all browsers other than the single one they tested to be "unsupported" and not even worth attempting to use with the app. It's one thing to warn against untested browsers; it's another thing to outright prohibit them and kick you back out to the homepage (after collecting my email address with which to spam me, no less).

For me, it’s more about simple redundancy. Prior to k8s, to reboot a node, you’d have to

1. Manually remove it from the load balancer(s)

2. Wait for connections to drain

3. Stop the services running so they can gracefully stop

4. Reboot the node

5. Do everything in reverse

With k8s, all that can 100% be automated, basically for “free”.
Sure hygienic macro belongs to macro but saner.

Mixin is not macro according to D authors. If you dig into Walter's past posts, perhaps you can find better explanations there than mine.

You can have macro in any runtime for example Ruby language, and that's the main reason for the maxim "Rails is not Ruby". That's also the reason Ruby is so powerful and to create a similar feat in Java will be close to impossible [2]. But at what cost? That's why Python now is much more popular even though Ruby is much more powerful. You can, however, create Rails clone in D language without all the macro nonsense [3].

If Twitter and Mastodon were taken permanently offline tomorrow, would this be of any significant loss to the world?
