Quiet quitting isn't people refusing to work on the job. It's to merely work hard enough to "meet expectations". So rather than trying to be a straight-A student you only work hard enough to get Cs and Bs.

Anyway, I would say if the Quiet Quitting hypothesis is true it definitely points to a business management failure. If an employee joined your organization highly motivated and a year later feels like going above and beyond is not worth it you did something wrong.

I'm looking for someone to help me start a new trade school for developers that can accept younger students before they have to move out of the house.

I'm a developer myself in the middle of building Facet, a hiring platform for developers. The plan is to allocate a percentage of our revenue to fund the school and also allow companies and senior developers to sponsor + mentor underprivileged students as a way to give back.

That's true but being verified also benefits users at least when applied to famous ones.

It benefits Stephen King to have a way to show that he is the real Stephen King. It also benefits all other users to be able to find the real Stephen King.

Now, on the other hand, for the millions of 'anonymous' users, being verified has no obvious benefit.
Do we know that it doesnt have an effect on gut-biome though?

Random shot here, but I work for a non profit interested in building a better kind of education (focused on programming, ml, and data science).

We've been having a hard time figuring out how to hire qualified people to build top-notch educational content because we pay less than industry rates.

The upside is that we do meaningful work, have good health care, decent pay, good work environment, (edit: also fully remote-able), and job stability (we're funded by philanthropists and don't need to make a profit).

If anyone hit by the recent layoffs is passionate about good education and would like a change of pace, feel free to email me (address in profile) to start a conversation.
Hi Jyrki, this is all very interesting. A couple questions for you, while you’re in this thread:

- where is the best documentation for the Butteraugli metric? I’ve found it quite difficult to find a high-level rationale/design notes for the metric.

- I also understand that JXL doesn’t try to explicitly optimize against Butteraugli distance unless you invoke the higher effort levels, and then, it uses a slightly different function than the original Butteraugli distance - is that correct?

- One q about the distance parameter -d; if I pass -d 1 -E x for some x, I’m asking for “an image with at most Butteraugli distance 1”, and if I pick another effort level higher than x, am I asking it to introduce a little bit more loss, so that the Butteraugli distance is likely to increase? Ie is the distance parameter more of an “upper bound for acceptable loss”

- I’ve seen Butteraugli values quoted for different “norms/p-norms” - which one do I use?

- How do I learn more about these colorspace transfer functions?

Thanks again for your awesome work!
From what I heard from various sources, you probably meant to put a /s at the end
Yes, that's what I say elsewhere. Digest some of the headers (not all) and the body. If you do it right you can even use that for dedup.
Once you have a small sheet you go to a scrap yard and say your dead grandpa was a hobby jeweler and nobody wants to continue the hobby. The important part is make it into a form where nobody can recognize it.

The grade isn't as pure as industrial processes, but it isn't too bad. Likewise, while the yield isn't good, even if you collect 50% the value is high enough.
same here. i straight up ignore these videos, no matter who posted it.

if you have to have an arrow pointed to something in your thumbnail. or have to make a shocking face, you do not value me or my time.

there are many other videos to watch. i have ignored many that follow this rather dumb trend. and i still can get to the bottom of my watch later, guys.

Is there any evidence of this? 1% bad content can mean that 1% of your users are bad actors, or it can mean that 100% of your users are bad actors 1% of the time (or anything in between.)

If otherwise unspecified, the "unemployment rate" refers to U-3, which is also called "the official unemployment rate" by the BLS.

HS teachers for cs don't have grad school requirements, at least in the us. Also in the US there is a great shortage of experienced people for teaching jobs in the schools that are tech oriented. They can give you a temporary permission to teach, even if you don't have your teaching credential. If you have at least a BS/BA in some field with exp in the area, they'd probably take you in a second. They also do this for math and various science related fields.
I feel like this trend is starting to come full circle. We went through a time where companies and organizations felt like they needed to be political activists in all their docs and announcements. And for a while it felt like questioning the activism was questioning the validity of the cause. But it feels like more people are recognizing that politics doesn't need to pervade every part of our lives. It is okay for technical release notes to only be technical release notes, regardless of what current events are.
This is a myth. The government publishes multiple unemployment rates (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm) along with the "official" headline rate. You probably want the U-4 or U-5 rate. In reality, all of the rates are highly correlated and what's important is the rate relative to historical norms.
Thanks for reading, author here.

You are right that this doesn't say much (at least for experience embedded developers).

The follow-up points I want to make:

- there is a lot of value for embedded developers to get acquainted with what is going on in the web world. Not only is there a lot out there that's directly applicable to iot, but the tooling is miles ahead of what I encounter in the embedded world, and a lot can just be scaffolded out.

- there is a lot that carries over from senior web development to embedded development, and jumping from one to the other is more about "incidental" complexity (learning new tools, learning to read datasheets, learning some abstractions), but a lot of the more holistic thinking carries over. I see a lot of people scared of even opening the source code to a kernel module and I want to show that it's basically the same as glueing some S3 stuff to an SQS queue, both in complexity and in boringness.

I have been working with more junior web people, and shown them that I actually prototype my embedded systems in plain javascript, or using tools like XState, just because it's easier. Once they see how my javascript can be ported almost 1:1 to a C state machine on an arduino, big lights go on.

(editing: formatting)
No, you can't— it's only the large-screen devices that support custom JavaScript-based apps. For example, using https://github.com/200Tigersbloxed/FitbitHRtoWS to get realtime heartrate data, for example to display as a Twitch stream overlay.

And it doesn't have its own GPS; it piggy-backs off the phone for that. Which is fine for cycling and running, but obviously doesn't work for open water swims where you could use GPS for position but wouldn't normally bring your phone.
> In theory a spammer could make non-commercial, non-misleading, non-fraudulent speech, and a site like twitter would then actually have to think about questions like first-amendment. I can't say I have ever received or seen spam like that.

While I don't think I have seen it on Twitter (then again I only read it when it's linked) I have seen plenty of it in some older forums & IRC. Generally it's just nonsense like "jqrfefafasok" or ":DDDDDD" being posted lots of times in quick succession, often to either flood out other things, to draw attention to poster or to show annoyance about something (like being banned previously).

> It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes

It always makes sense to fix your holes. The ship is taking on water, yo. The sooner the better. Then you've got a whole hell of a lot better argument to make me fix mine. Instead I can just turn around and point right back at you and say the same damn thing about you, and we get nowhere. Which, incidentally, is exactly where we have been getting because of lazy excuses like this. Which is why I described it as "pointless dithering and finger-pointing."
I started ignoring clickbait. This is what happened.
I feel your pain, I've been there.

My advice, get a job around (but not in) London area, if not, get a remote role with a company in south, that gave me a bump from 35k to 71k.

Even better, leave perm and get a contract (outside IR35), you can easily get between 350 to 450 a day.

... and yes, that's doing C++, some Qt, some MFC, some Python, and no PhD/MSc nonsense.
By illustrating that the market is not saturated with unemployed people desperately competing for scarce jobs - not currently in absolute terms, and not when compared to historical perspective in relative terms.
It's Signal's fault for getting lawyers involved before communicating with the people that put the alternative up. If it's that much of a problem, asking nicely would probably have worked. They could even set up a mechanism to transfer users to the official distribution if they wanted to put in the effort to help their users.

As a side note, "Signal" is a generic English word. The logo is a generic speech bubble. Copyright and trademark law should not be piecing up language and handing it out to tech companies that decided that all app names should be no longer than two syllables. I'm sure legally speaking there's a trademark case to be made here, but ethically speaking I think it's wrong.
Genuine question, what’s the real value proposition of Stripe?

They do have a slick integration process for outside developers, but is that enough for to justify the financial values attached to them in the recent past?
Re: transitioning to Rust:

For context: I started out a passionate and evangelical Python "duck typing" proponent. Eventually migrated to Node, as it let me in the browser via JS (i'm fond of web tech). Eventually Go caught my eye due to types (before Typescript really existed) and so i stayed there for a while. Each of these lasted ~5 years.

These days i'm a heavy and solely Rust user.. going on ~3 years now iirc. Both in my work life, and home life.

The more experience i got in my career the more i loved types, so Rust's type system wasn't a shock to me. Yes, it was the most in depth typing i had used, but for me it was a natural transition. I was wanting types to solve problems for me. Rust felt very natural in that sense.

I advocate that Rust can be easy to learn if you focus on your bite sizes. Learn Rust with a keen eye for what looks like big and small bytes, and never exceed your mouth size. In the beginning lifetimes are scary, so avoid them - clone or `Arc` like mad. Be wary of heavy generic usage. Rust has lots of rope to hand yourself with, should you go looking for a noose.
Plenty of people prognosticating a crash every year since 2009 but it never came. Most of us expected a long term crash in 2020 but it was a quick rebound. This year seemed like something was off but maybe just temporary due to supply chains and Ukraine, since spending and employment was still strong. I'd not say a crash is written in stone yet.
I personally have found some excellent content through YT's recommendations. For example, the algorithm introduced me to LockPickingLawyer, Taskmaster, and Jet Lag: The Game.
It's not about caring about the employer, it's about living my own life. Your work life is most of what you do for several decades of life. I don't want to suffer, barely squeaking by, stressed and at the brink of being fired by multiple employers for decades. I make a fraction of what some people here make and I still make more than I need. Money beyond a certain amount doesn't make you happier, in fact I'm pretty convinced it makes it harder to be happy.
The greatest thing about powershell is that all commands returns structured output like this.

Previous company had some decent one-off gifts for life events. A couple nice coffee mugs with company colors and hearts for a wedding and bamboo cutting boards with company logo for a housewarming gift were quite nice and actually were appreciated. felt like these were good things to offer. The employee appreciation day "water bottle" was an awful piece of garbage though that honestly felt insulting, a $5 cafeteria voucher would have been better.

I would say the quality of a gift matters. A big part is managing expectations though, if employees aren't expecting a gift, you have a lot more freedom than if something is expected. A free Paczki on Fat Tuesday is more appreciated than a Christmas cookie (especially if referred to as a bonus).
> Let's say I have a goal of running a marathon, so I decide to start jogging every day. Is my daily jogging a side-effect of my goal to run a marathon?

You can't run a marathon without your daily jogs. Inflation can be lowered without spiking unemployment. It's unlikely. Hence the Fed's messaging. But until recently the Fed forecasted a soft landing, i.e. growth and low unemployment amidst rising rates and falling inflation.

Better analogy: engine temperature. You're driving and keeping an eye on the thermometer. You see the temperature is low and so feel comfortable accelerating. The goal is getting to your destination faster. The low temperature lets you accelerate, which in turn raises the temperature. But raising the engine temperature wasn't the point. It reverses cause and effect to say your goal was to raise engine temperature. It wasn't. Engine temperature was simply a limiting factor you were paying attention to.
>You can say your new car is objectively better than your old one, yet after having it a few years it feels exactly like the previous vehicle from the standpoint about how much it contributes to your well-being.

I agree with your point on human psychology, but survivorship bias is relevant here.

One way in which my new car is objectively better is that it has better safety features, which makes me less likely to die in a crash. My feelings about it may well normalize over time, but only if I survive long enough.

The correlation is not perfect, but lots of creature comforts actively make us live longer. In addition to the comfort of pooping indoors, indoor plumbing also makes it easier to wash your hands with warm water afterward, harder to trip and fall on the trip to the outhouse, both of which make you live longer. The people who die don't get to psychologically adjust to their premature deaths.
That measure will reflect changing demographics and, specific to our current circumstances, an increase in retirements during covid. Prime age participation is more useful for projecting forward https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300060
Or, they'll raise their fees to increase revenue once they decide to exploit their monopoly.

This has already started happening with the introduction of their Billing product which begins charging for basic features that were previously free.

We'll see a slow migration away from the flat 2.9% + 30 cents --> much more complicated and expensive pricing models.

As I understood it: QUIC, or more accurately HTTP/3 over QUIC, is optimised for consumer web browser, mainly mobile devices over lossy network. That is not (only) Google's use case at all.

If you're loading several images over the same HTTP2/TCP connection and you miss a packet of one then you have to get later packets resent for all of them. Even if the delayed packet does eventually arrive without needing to be resent, it still has the effect of holding up all the other streams. With HTTP3/QUIC, a missed or delayed packet does still affect the stream it's from within that connection (still a pity) but at least the other streams carry on unaffected.

This problem in TCP is called head-of-line blocking:

For me, malice relates to intent. Intent isn't observable. When person X makes a claim about Y's intent, they're almost always filling in invisible gaps using their imagination. You can't moderate on that basis. We have to go by effects, not intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

It took me a long time to learn that if I tell a user "you were being $FOO" where $FOO relates to their intent, they can simply say "no I wasn't" and no one can prove otherwise, making the moderation position a weak one. Mostly they will deny it sincerely because they never had such an intent, at least not consciously. If you do that as a mod, you've just given them a reason to feel entirely in the right, and if you proceed to moderate them anyway, they will feel treated unjustly. This is a way to generate bad blood, make enemies, and lose the high ground.

The reverse strategy is better: describe the effects of someone's posts and explain why they are bad. When inevitably they respond with "but my intent was $BAR", the answer is "I believe you [what else can you say about something only that person could know?], but nonetheless the effects were $BAZ and we have to moderate based on effects. Intent doesn't communicate itself—the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate it." (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

Often when people get moderated in this way, they respond by writing the comment they originally had in their head, as a defense of what they actually meant. It's often astonishing what a gap there is between the two. Then you can respond that if they had posted that in the first place, it would have been fine, and that while they know what they have in their head while posting, the rest of us have no access to that—it needs to be spelled out explicitly.

Being able to tell someone "if you had posted that in the first place, it would have been fine" is a strong moderation position, because it takes off the table the idea "you're only moderating me because you dislike my opinions", which is otherwise ubiquitous.

Always assume U-3 if otherwise not reported. U5 and U6 exist if you really need it. But historically speaking, everyone always has used U3 as the base discussion point.

We all know U3 has its flaws, but I've never really found a situation where U5 or U6 would make a sizable difference in an argument.

The only people who seem to play U3 vs U5 vs U6 games are those who are jumping statistics between arguments, to mislead and misdirect. IMO anyway. A good arguer always uses U3. When someone else runs out of things to say, they start criticizing U3 itself (ignoring the easily accessible U5 or U6 statistics). So its a good indicator for when a discussion has run its course.
This is crazy - I've been working on a similar app that ties a daily journal with tasks & calendar (https://daybird.app). There's another one I saw recently called reflect.app as well. Note taking has been around forever, I wonder what it is about this space that's triggering so many new products. Anyways, Acreom looks fantastic, good luck with the launch!
Sure, I can agree with you on that. I was quoting the sorta "sub-headline" from the article.
No, not next; "eventually," maybe. I think they are still holding out hope that the ~15% they'd like to layoff will "self-select," and I fully expect them to send those people a message next perf cycle.
I have fun coding. I can't wait to dig into interesting problems and figure them out - regardless of if it's for my own coding or my employers.
Although there isn't a dividend, you still own a share of the corporation. Whatever money it has in the bank, or other assets, part of it belongs to you.

Right now, Meta has assets of $180B, and there are $2.7 billion shares outstanding. That means each share owns $67 worth of stuff -- about a quarter of which is cash in its bank accounts. That's ignoring whatever actual money it has coming in. Considering its future earnings, its current price of $90 is actually pretty good.

What good is that if you can't actually access those $67 per share worth of assets? The fact that they could, in theory, one day distribute it. It means that somebody else is willing to buy that share off of you -- knowing that somebody else would buy it off of them.

Essentially, that $67 is completely illiquid, but real. And the market makes it liquid, even though the actual underlying asset could remain fixed indefinitely.

It's kinda like getting a loan whose repayment date is "eventually". As long as you don't think it's just going to up and die, it's worth something -- as long as it could, in theory, be repaid.
>is it really a good idea to vote so selfishly

>enshrining a nativist, racist, and supremacist movement?

I see nativism and racism in left wing movements too. In reality, I think race/ethnicity seems to be the subtext of most things nowadays, maybe it always was. No one really explicitly says it but it's pretty obvious. I am not sure why anyone thinks it's okay only for some groups to advocate for policies that benefit their own race but others can not. As if racism didn't beget more racism.
