The 66-page "Breaking Paragraphs into Lines" is a research paper, and much of it is is the "complexity" of the problem itself, rather than TeX's elegant solution in particular (e.g. pages 48–59 are about history). In a sense, the generality shown in the paper (the various different things that TeX's algorithm can accomplish) shows how TeX reduces the real-world complexity of typesetting with a simple approach that covers all of them.

The book "Digital Typography" is, somewhat misleadingly, not a book that was written about digital typography, but simply a collection (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/selected.html) of several papers that Knuth wrote about TeX and Metafont and some related topics, over several decades.

Maybe the several hundred pages of the "Computers and Typesetting" series would be a better example for your point: https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/abcde.html

In any case, I agree with the comment you're replying to: if you use TeX itself without dragging behind you the entire ecosystem and all the packages (in particular, use plain TeX rather than LaTeX) you'll see it's not really complex, and the implementation is fine. Especially today, with things like LuaTeX scripting (and, say, opTeX) it is feasible to bypass LaTeX and packages and do things yourself — that is, unless external circumstances require you to use LaTeX and packages etc, which is still often the case (e.g. submitting papers to journals).

I always wonder if the chicken or egg comes first. Maybe I'm living in a bubble, but I didn't see any broad slowdown until companies started laying off, saying there's this broad slowdown that's totally coming soon. Now, with people being laid off and tightening their spending, leading to an actual slowdown, the prophecy is fulfilled!

The last recession had a pretty clear cause you could point your finger at: The collapse of subprime mortgages. This one (presumably we're about to experience one) and the first dot-com crash didn't seem to be caused by anything besides a critical mass of businessmen agreeing "Well look at that, we're headed into an economic slowdown!"
While GATs are undeniably cool, I think I'm actually most excited by the enabling of MIR inlining. Rust level optimizations have a real potential to increase performance and decrease compilation times, and inlining is one of the most important primitives for that.
This is likely because threads are a "high engagement" signal for Twitter and therefore prone to being gamed.

There are courses teaching people how to game the Twitter algo. One of those took off significantly in the past 18 months. You can tell by the number of amateurs creating threads on topics far beyond their reach. The purpose of these threads is for it to show up on people's feeds under the "Topic" section.

For example, I often see see random posts from "topics" Twitter thinks I like (webdev, UI/UX, cats, old newspaper headlines). I had to unsubscribe from 'webdev' and "UI/UX" because the recommended posts were all growth hackers. It wasn't always that way.

I'm not the only one, others have commented on it as well, including a well known JS developer:

That paragraph also got me wondering why they're not drawing attention to, for example, the Human Rights situation in China. Maybe because that might draw the ire of the powerful Chinese state? Or to the situation in Saudi Arabia, where women have even fewer rights than in Iran. Maybe because Saudi Arabia, unlike Iran, is a US ally?
Take note: This sort of abusive comment is not persuasive. If somebody spoke that way to me, I would not listen to their suggestions, if only out of sheer spite.

I'm amazed at the number of people in this thread who are annoyed that someone would insert mention of a carbon capture initiative into an unrelated discussion. The author is clearly tired of answering the same question, as stated in the first tweet, and is desperately trying to get people to think more critically about the climate crisis that is currently causing the sixth mass extinction event in the history of the planet.

Being annoyed that someone "duped" you into reading about the climate crisis is incredibly frustrating to activists because it's SO important to be thinking about and working on, and yet getting folks to put energy into even considering climate crisis is like pulling teeth.

I wonder if any of the folks complaining about the structure of the tweets has stopped to think about why the author feels compelled to "trick" us into reading about carbon capture.

> As a European the severance for a large company doesn’t sound all to different to what I am used to

Note that Europe is a big place, and laws are not standard for layoffs/redundancy. I got laid off this year, and basically got one week's severance pay, plus my two weeks notice.

In Ireland, I believe the standard amongst larger companies is one month per year served, but the cap is very low so generally tech companies will make much of the payout conditional on an NDA.
Except we can back up the effect electrification has on transportation. It's only 'just a label' if you're ideologically opposed. Yes, the labels can be overused, but if the discussion is only going to be about labels, why even bother? The underlying facts are pretty easy to work with.
Yea Nhost is a Backend as a Service (BaaS) but I'm not sure Firebase has "won".

Whant we hear form our users is that they like Nhost because of:

- Open Source

- SQL (Postgres)

- GraphQL (Hasura)

- GitHub Integratoin (like Vercel & Netlify)

> for tech people it's just as easy to spin up an instance in some cloud somewhere.

I think this is the biggest missconseption.

Just look at Vercel and Netlify. They host html/css/js as a core business and they have million of users combined. Why? Because they make it extreamly easy for developers to be *productive* and they hook into developers' workflow with Git.

Most of our users at Nhost can spin up servers and infrastructure on their own, but are they using their time optimally by doing so? Or should they instead spend time building what's important for their business and users?

Would be especially interesting to see how robust it is. Micropython on the Pico can get bricked effortlessly and needs re-flashing to get back in order, so if it's not as fragile it would be a decent contender.
You and every other anti-EV comedian is only acknowledging the 1 and 0 states of a battery - full and empty. Partially discharged, charging, and 'just need to get a couple of miles' are also very real possibilities fulfilled by having a small array on the roof.

I never played TTRPG growing up, but when I was younger, my dad would let me roll his dice during his A&A game nights he had with some friends and co-workers, eventually joining the table as I grew older. It was a great excuse as a little kid to stay up late (they played once a month from 7PM to midnight).

I need to see if he'd be interested in trying this out!
I'd love to see a follow up to that sketch playing on the subsequent three decades of financial destruction.

The motivational speaker is doing the same bit, trying to scare kids with the prospect of having to "live in a van, down by the river". The kids seem excited at the prospect. They ask the speaker if he really thinks they could ever afford such a thing, if he knows of anybody selling an affordable van, or if he knows anywhere they could even visit the river that hasn't been filled up with industrial trash.

The motivational speaker grows increasingly frustrated with the kids, seemingly unable to get across to them why living in a van down by the river is a bad thing. The kids just don't seem to understand. The motivational speaker gets so frustrated that he has a heart attack and dies on the spot.

Cut to the settling of the motivational speaker's estate. It turns out he owned an entire camp ground and trailer park, making a top-tier income off of the rent from many people living in various vehicles down by the river. The kids sign a 50 year mortgage to buy the speaker's rusty old van from the speaker's kids, getting implanted with subcutaneous microchips to help secure the loan. They smile as the sun sets on their new waterfront view, beyond the line of new/expensive vans closer to the water. They live happily ever after.

Though implied, it’s worth noting specifically: Any traffic that passes through China (for example: companies with servers in China) is gobbled up by the Chinese government.

Whether a company wants to or not, if they have servers in China they are giving all information to the Chinese govt.

Layoffs are not an indication of failure. Not on those who get laid off, those that remain, or senior leadership.

The universe is a dynamic, changing place. People [should] move in and out of jobs and industries in response to those changes in the world. This is a good thing, and much better than blindly doing the same thing forever, in the face of changes.

I don't know the specifics of Stripe's business at all, but they may have been correct to hire a lot early in the pandemic, and then correct again to lay off many people now.

Turns out it is more diplomatic to reach out to someone privately first. God forbid we set a better example than the one being set.
Review of the Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome
I worked with a person that was laid off with 6 months severance that was not reported to the state. They immediately filed for unemployment, and then the company hired them back as a contractor 4 or 5 weeks later. We labelled him the triple dipper and he said getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to him and that he's basically rolling around in money coupled with a one month paid sabbatical.
This is not a good look. The snap has been gone for almost a month, with seemingly no information given to the maintainer or users about why, except a belated "we removed it for policy reasons" 21 days ago. And if this happens to maintainers associated with Snapcrafters, imagine how you're treated if you're just some random person or company who maintains your own snap.

This is the sort of reason why people are concerned about an ecosystem where Canonical has 100% of the control of the only distribution mechanism. I suppose this is just a confirmation of the legitimacy of those fears.
It's impossible to cut 14% and making sure those are only bottom performers. You'd have to reorg the whole company if that were the case because some 8 person teams might have 1 bottom performer (and thus become 7), others might have 2 or 3 and thus become (5 or 6 people. They'd then want to add more people to be a big enough team again etc etc, so those would have to come from other teams that then get merged)
> the layoffs actually benefit the founders directly, and it ends up becoming a perverse incentive to over-hire and lay off again with the next boom/bust. Successful accountability means people actually avoid doing shitty things.

This is exactly how business works. You should not be surprised. Their job is to ensure the company survives and that is really it. Everyone is expendable. None of these employees were guaranteed a long leisurely employment at Stripe.

Businesses change overnight. But it's always a cyclical market. As the founders I would expect them to benefit themselves. There doesn't have to be consequences, only change and adaptation. It's just business, they aren't your family.

That is a remarkably generous severance package. My COVID severance when my company's local office went under was 2 weeks pay for 8 years of service. Healthcare terminated at the end of the month and they were sure to lay me off in the middle of the last week of the month.

Well done stripe. Maybe others can follow your example.
No. It can say otherwise in your employee handbook.

Except for the bare pcb thing, it looks cool..

I cringe thinking about long-term exposure to bare PCBs, sure RoHS is a thing, but it's R(eduction), not E(liminiation).. And those guidelines are under the assumption that the electronics are packaged and not touched to bare skin..

PCBs are still made with fibers which can penetrate the skin, and I'd be worried about exposure to soldermask, solder and what other chemicals are involved.
> Weird assumption to make. I’ve tried modern hardware, to me it’s mostly just higher resolution if the same thing.

It’s not a bad assumption because you never mentioned an actual problem with VR (and they are many). What you’ve done is simply parrot people who haven’t experienced VR for more than 5 minutes if at all. Like the previous parent commenter, you still haven’t mentioned which modern headset you’ve owned.

> It’s the lazy people hurting the adoption of VR?

I’ve ordered adoption hurdles according to importance and prevalence. It is a factor, but not the biggest one.

> The severance package here only deferred the benefit to the bottom line, but it wasn't a consequence for over-hiring and potentially disrupting lives. In other words, the layoffs actually benefit the founders directly...

This is all complete nonsense. They're handing out millions of dollars they have no obligation to pay. Unlike cheap talk on the internet, this actually costs them quite a lot. This is extremely generous.

Do you want cops filtering through all online sites looking for child porn? Do you think that's a good use for their time?

It's the threat of law enforcement that leads people who run websites to remove illegal content.

Generically (to, say, please advertisers) that is an expectation that sites are going to be proactive about removing offensive (or illegal) material. Simply responding on a "whack-a-mole" basis is not good enough. I ran a site that had something like 1-in-10,000 offensive (not illegal... but images of dead nazis, people with terrible tumors on their genitals, etc.) images and that was not clean enough for Adsense. From the viewpoint of quality control, particularly the Deming viewpoint of statistical quality control, it is an absolute bear of a problem to find offensive images at that level -- and look at how many people write a paper about some A.I. program that gets 70% accuracy is state of the art.
Kinda why I hate getting gifts, I'd genuinely prefer for giver to just take me for a beer or something, I prefer company to them basically wasting time working to earn money to give me something I might or might not like.

On other side picking what to give is endless source of anxiety to me.
The great thing about wine as a gift is that it doesn't go bad quickly. Even if you don't drink it, you can re-gift it to someone who will appreciate it.
That's true in less than half of US states.
Per Soleo site:
"Soleo’s call transfer and information service allows carriers to monetize calls to nonworking business numbers. Callers are given suggestions of alternative local merchants free of charge. Our cloud-based platform and years of experience make this service easy to implement. We provide a variety of call flows that determine a caller’s true intent when they reach a disconnected business number."

"In some business categories, we offer follow-up questions to determine the most appropriate way to route the call. The net result is highly satisfied callers and a better-targeted lead for local merchants. Soleo shares the pay-per-call advertising revenue it receives from merchants with its carrier customers."
The problem with getting rid of district-based funding is that the worst schools often already get the most per student funding because the state (at least that's the case where I am!). Ultimately the problem is that more money doesn't necessarily result in better outcomes

The new algorithm better represents the change that the coder actually made.

More generally, I'd say that the point of diffing in something like VSCode is to try to aide the reviewer (for any number of types of reviewer - looking at merge conflicts etc) in evaluating a change.

It's a tool for human understanding, and from that point of view, text diffing is kinda barbaric (don't get me wrong, I love it and use it all day long). You can rename a variable using an LSP, knowing that it's effectively a safe no-op on the code. But once it comes to review the PR, that change is just additional noise mixed in with everything else.

I use Neovim, where I have treesitter. I look at the amazing information in there and long for the day when I'll be able to use its power for reviews. Something like I described above - show me a version of the change with stuff that doesn't matter, like renames, removed. Now show me a diff that's the inverse of that, so I can skim it. I mentioned in another comment that `--color-moved=dimmed-zebra` is a useful tool to help focus on what matters.
> Many people still feel anonymity gives them carte blanche to be a jerk,

I don't think it's even anonymity, for some, indirect communication is enough: I once had a roommate who would leave unpleasant messages on the answering machine, but would be perfectly nice in person (on the same topic, even).
Can't you change personality (from 32bit to 64bit) without exec? And then jump into your new code?

HTTP over plaintext TCP is obsolete in a similar way to Telnet (vs SSH) or FTP (vs SFTP). It took something like 20 years for support for FTP to be dropped from major user agents[0].

By the time the major browsers drop support for plaintext HTTP, that protocol will be as quaint and archaic as Gopher is today.

(and we'll all be better off for it -- good riddance to anything ASCII-based or unauthenticated)
