With your logic we should quickly remove WebP and AVIF, and have an active discussion if JPEG XL is good enough to make it. Also port as much as possible from JPEG XL tech into traditional JPEG.
This is how things should be.

Meta is using all the huge FCF generated in the 2010s to propel the company to next leap.

There should be mechanisms at the Govt. level to force CEOs to bet the company at least once per decade.

I applaud Zuck, somebody has to push the envelope forward, and Meta is trying to unlock the future of work and home entertainment for 25B/yr with their Reality Labs.

In a world where every CEO looks at governments mandated climate/COVID paranoia to leech off contracts and subsidies or outright transforms public companies into cults/political organizations , somebody has to think about how to elevate the quality of life of people, in a pragmatic and practical manner with new widgets, new platforms and new ways to work.

I don't know if Reality Labs will ever be a success but the goal seems to be producing a leap as big as Windows 95.

We could use some of that amongst this era where everything is about politics .
Most Garmins (Fenix, Forerunner series) can do all of your "only Pebble" parts. In fact I replaced my touchscreen smartwatch with Fenix 6 precisely for not having one and relying on buttons instead.
Garmin has a wide range of watches, many of which meet most of those criteria. Except for hackable. I have a Vivoactive 4 and I've been very happy with it.

Just to clarify, you're talking about the version that was never released — the one with the Kickstarter that was cancelled? All of the above features except the HR monitor exist on my PTS, I think.
I think it's sad that this seems to be getting so many downvotes. You don't have to agree, but this was helpful commentary.

Reddit definitely had all of these issues, and they were handled horribly.
so what "API" does it need from 16.2?

Your response really is a non-answer.
Spam can work the same way — that's how our email spam filters work. To use the OP's "censorship vs moderation" dichotomy, the current "censorship" regime would be like if your email filter marked an email as spam, and not only did not give you the option to disagree with the filter (i.e. mark as "Not Spam"), but didn't even give you the option to see the offending message to begin with.

Spam may still leak into our inboxes today, but the level of user control over email spam is generally a stable equilibrium, the level of outrage around spam filters — and to be clear, there are arguments to be made that spam filters are increasingly biased — is much MUCH lower than that around platform "censorship".
Isn't the whole problem with being in a marginalized community that people treat you differently? If people ran around calling you the N word on a daily basis would it be a comfort to you that you aren't actually black?
I guess if you can't get people to go to Facebook anymore, you can always bring Facebook to the people.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I like apps with a singular purpose, that do one thing well. This feels like it's going to intrude on my peace of mind with big, distracting groups that broadcast low quality, high volume information.
I'm always intrigued by the crossover point between small scale more intimate group chats and larger scale message boards.

Does anyone have any examples or experience with platforms that pulled off that transition space successfully? And what were the key features that made the transition successful?

You continue to discuss things with many of the people on the sub like you did before.

That’s a nice outcome, but also leave you vulnerable to outsiders deciding to ruin your sub by flooding it with discussions of table tennis or racism or arguing about moderation.

But you make a good point if the differences between the OP and Reddit.
Hopefully you'll do the same with comments you don't like.
How did this "days ago" date trend ever get started? It's absolutely horrible.

Another trend I've seen is to spell out the full name of the month but then leave out the year. Gee, thanks for making me hover over every single date just to see what it actually is.

Using WASM and WASI to run .NET 7 on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
After reading the thread, I still have no idea why it got removed, so: why did it get removed? What part(s) of the snap policies did they violate, and how is it possible that even something doesn't charge $100 a year before you can even publish a snap doesn't even notify the maintainers that their app got removed? Just because you run an app store doesn't mean Apple and Google's opaque refusal system is the part you should take inspiration from, too.
> it’s deeply depressing to watch Twitter employees work over the weekend and sleep in the office to push out impossible deliverables

I have enough empathy left to understand that yes, it is depressing to work in a BS project. But I feel the anger is misplaced.

The depressing part is not that Twitter employees are killing themselves to deliver code that no one likes. The depressing part is that Twitter employees are killing themselves to deliver code, full stop. If people did want those "deliverables", it would still be wrong.

Remember, kids: when someone asks you to sleep in the office over the weekend, the correct answer is "an emergency on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine". And then you go home.
Why on earth would someone choose a name like this?!
I think the issue comes from the idea that in tough times, good leaders take their lumps before they expect it from their team. There's lots of colloquialisms that seem to fit this:

"Leaders eat last"

"We cut the fat starting at the top"

"Leaders need to have endurance beyond their troops"

I have no skin in the game either. The severance packages are commendable, but I don't think it actually answers the OP's question about accountability. I don't want to speak for the other commenter, but I think what they're looking for is some indication that the leadership has personally sacrificed something equal to or exceeding what they expected out of their subordinates. Giving out millions in severance, while commendable, isn't a personal sacrifice.
I haven't done any hacking of any of my smartwatches. If that's important to you, then I don't really have any recommendations for you (and it highlights my point about different people's definition of "comparable").

I want my watch to have time/date, alarms, timers/stopwatches, the ability to read phone notifications, always-on screen, and battery life measured on the scale of weeks. Step and heartrate tracking are also nice perks that the Amazfit Bip also includes.
I'm hoping we'll get to a point where not making a good faith effort to be factually correct will be seen as equally bad as censorship.

They're both just tactics used to decieve.

The internet is this amazing tool for building knowledge and we seen to be arguing about who is allowed to tell lies rather than collaborating on how to discover truth.

It's simple basic things like citing sources that need to become norms.
Yeah, but tell that to braindead content license owners.
Sort of. The bulk of that material you see is just a ceramic substrate. There's only a few grams of valuable metals in each converter.
For me, the exciting parts are in

> Libs: Don't generate PartialEq::ne in derive(PartialEq)

Meaning: Smaller generated code leading to faster compile times

> Cargo: Take priority into account within the pending queue.

When not enough CPUs are available (particularly CI), cargo will now prioritize crates with the longest dependency chain. We are wanting to be even smarter about which crates get priority but we still need to figure out what are acceptable heuristics (as we don't want to hard code crate names)
No one knows [1], except Snap. Not even the maintainers :(

Snaps response [2] seems to be:

This is the part I don't like.

Stripe is a hugely successful company and they have no urgent material need to let people go. This is an optimization effort.

I actually do believe that 'pruning' is a healthy thing for organizations, to enable them to be nimble and dynamic - however - obviously this comes at great social cost.

The benefits of 'pruning' come at the cost of externalizing regular, creating real human challenges.

One somewhat obvious solution might be to 'reallocate' people for a while, and have them do 'window dressing' (like in Japan) while this happens. Some would argue this doesn't get you to the pruning, because there needs to be an element of existential churn, but I suggest otherwise.

At minimum, growing companies should 'find stuff' for people to do. Stripe is 100% looking to the future, there is no doubt, so maybe we can try to find a way to make this work on their future endeavours.

I feel that the whole 'California' project elides the negatives: homelessness in Los Angeles has reached impossible levels, there always were enormous problems with equality at least partially due to lack of civil resources, adverse school funding etc..

This is not a 'model' to brag about.

I think we can do better.

I feel Darktable is a lot more powerful and the UI is a little easier to use (small things, like the way sliders work with mouse and keyboard). Masking in DT is great as well.

What I like about Raw Therapee, the starting point when processing RAW files is a lot closer to out of camera JPEG, and for just minor tweaks it's simpler and faster.

There's also an alternative build of Raw Therapee as well.

I have done countless technical interviews and I can already tell you how your interview is going to go based on your comments here. You are confusing programmer/developer/knowing DSL and being a good candidate. You might be a good problem solver as well, but details matter. You can't simply gloss over them. A crudely solved problem might as well be not solved at all.
I don’t understand responses like this. They are returning to February headcount. The executive team also made the long term planning decisions which gave those people jobs for the last 9 months (and income for the next 3). Would the right thing to do have been not choosing to give more people a living for 13 months at least? Are companies to never speculatively invest in growth?
Would be nice if you sold them to us old people at a 2x cost so we can get one and pay for one for a teen
It could be the NDJSON parser (DF source: [0]) or could be a variety of other factors. Looking at the ROAPI release archive [1], it doesn't ship with the definitive `columnq` binary from your comment (EDIT: it does, I was looking in the wrong place! https://github.com/roapi/roapi/releases/tag/columnq-cli-v0.3...), so it could also have something to do with compilation-time flags.

FWIW, we use the Parquet format with DataFusion and get very good speeds similar to DuckDB [2], e.g. 1.5s to run a more complex aggregation query `SELECT date_trunc('month', tpep_pickup_datetime) AS month, COUNT(*) AS total_trips, SUM(total_amount) FROM tripdata GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 ASC)` on a 55M row subset of NY Taxi trip data.

It's actually intended behavior:

Location Services works by asking Apple if it knows the location of any of WiFi access points near you.† Apple knows these locations by using services like Skyhook who wardrive around mapping locations of BSSIDs (AP mac addresses).

So, when Location Services is on (which it is by default), macOS will periodically switch your wireless card to monitor mode to find those nearby WiFi access points. Doing so stops normal network traffic for around a few 100 ms on the device.

† On devices with a GPS (i.e. iPhones and iPads) it will also sometimes use the GPS, but does so sparingly because the GPS uses much more power.
To be fair the situation regarding updates is starting to improve now that new phones bring very little to the table besides faster processing and marginal camera improvements and similarly OS updates don't do much besides change the UI slightly.

Samsung (and IIRC Google) now promises at least 4 years of regular updates and 5 of security.
I just want a watch that shows the time, lets me see and respond to notifications and set the occasional reminder/alarm.
There are "home" and "newest" feeds. I agree it's shitty that the default shows this stuff, but you just have to switch it over to "newest."
I own a Pinetime, and I agree it's close to the Pebble (I used to own a Pebble Steel). My Pinetime gets around 3ish days battery life, usage dependent.

I wanted a watch that I could control my media player on my phone with, gave me notifications, and didn't cost me an appendage. The Pinetime was $35USD shipped (IIRC), and while I can't dismiss phone notifications from my watch, it does at least show me the notifications from my wrist. I'm very happy with mine.
if you walk out on Friday and start a new job on Monday does the severance still apply? This setup is incredibly generous in my mind to the point where there's a lot of incentive to get laid off. If you got another job in a couple days and severance was still paid by Stripe then that+PTO+RSU+typical signing bonus is one hell of a payday.
It doesn't have syntax highlighting IIRC

Why not? It's top bandwidth consumer for a retail ISP and surely any reasonable amount of rack space is worth the savings in interconnect bandwidth.
No connection to the Akiflow team. I found the tool on my own and really like it. It’s snappy and does what it claims to do. I don’t really need their Calendly-lite implementation but everything else is very well put together.
Were they billing the cards or just reselling the data? The second option seems more probable.
Do you have to be good at everything? It is an unreasonable expectation. It is better to know a lot of stuff a little and some things very, very well.

Do you have to get every job? You do not. You just need to find one that suits you and where you will be successful, and everything else is meaningless. But don't completely reject the feedback -- try to understand what is causing you to be unsuccessful in interview to get better at it and hopefully improve your chances of getting the job you want.

Interview questions (and I say this being an interviewer and having interviewed thousands of candidates) do not tell if you are a good programmer though they can tell if you are a bad one. Even then, one has to recognise that selection of questions is going to shape the definition of what good and bad is.

There is also no single definition of a good and bad developer is. Different types of jobs require different types of people. I have hired for positions where I needed a dull, ambitionless person that can take boring tasks day after day without complaint. If I saw a candidate with even a hint of ambition I would immediately tell them no because there was no way they would stay on the job for long.

My advices:

- Find your niche, find what you are good at AND gives you joy or at least satisfaction that you know you can be doing well and have others at least potentially recognise you for this.

- Know your limits. Do not try to get hired over your abilities unless you do it with intention of stressing yourself to get better in the end (know why you are doing it).

- Set up a periodic review of what you are doing, what is not going well and what you can do to be better at your job.

I, myself, found that I am perfectionist and able to write perfect code, fast, reliable, but with the downside that it takes forever to get anything done.

I decided early on that I will be working on projects that benefit from being perfectionist and that I will immediately reject any project where there just isn't any business case of polishing your code. So no websites, no UIs, no startups, etc. I am working on backends for critical corporate systems.

I think many of the ills of this type this can be traced, at least in part, to TeX's only-partial whitespace invariance.

The shifts in behavior with an added newline (or absence thereof) or a comment, as above, simply wouldn't happen if the language ignored whitespace outright.

Of course, requiring tags for newlines/paragraphs would make raw TeX as un-readable as raw HTML. It might be worth the trade for the predictability, but for the era in which TeX was written, one without IDEs or LyX, I suspect that Knuth made the right choice.

My interpretation of OP's comment was that they were saying something pretty similar to what you are saying. That is to say, knowing where to use it and how and when to avoid it is an acknowledgment of that ambiguity. Maybe you mean that nobody can claim to know where to use it? Also, why did you put good programmers in quotes. Do you not believe there is such a thing?
They could just be comparing the bitrate of raw uncompressed 4K30@10bit to a compressed H.265 stream

They also mention using OCR, so it could be that instead of using a high enough bitrate to read the text they're actually storing the decoded raw text

It also looks from their demo video that they might be recording a video of each window separately, so window position changes wouldn't need to be encoded, and it could be a fairly low rate unless it's hosting video?
Because that doesn't solve the discovery problem. People want an easy way to find new things. Whether that's `apt search` or Google Play.
> I’m disappointed they didn’t leverage the expectations to have that van electric.

Don't worry about it. Ford sells an electric version of the Transit van. Every single new piece of this ready-to-convert van will have a part number that you can order at every Ford dealer on earth. Once everything is available, someone with the cash to burn is going to figure out what works together and provide a list so you can make your own without wasting money.

The article says that this will cost $15k more than a base Transit passenger van. I'm not sure that is a good apples-to-apples comparison, but whatever. Again, once it's available, people are going to figure out whether it's a better deal to buy the whole van or just the parts that are useful to you.
Basically anything technical I do is work related. I don't want to share that out of fear of violating some company policy.

There are some interesting stories, bug fixes, tech stacks etc but exposing them always risks the company's reputation and it's not worth the hassle to self censor.
I believe this capacity roughly triples every five years -- so when building something for the far future things can look different in bandwidth/quality perspective.
Awesome app. Love it.

Tightly integrates with my calendar. Easy, keyboard driven divide and conquer for my documents into tasks. Way better than all the other knowledge base apps.
Disagree. A CEO does not cut employees during a time when others are laying off unless business doesn't need / can't support/ not prudent to retain those employees.

Why? Because periods like now is the absolute best time to steal market share from established companies - which would grow the team and business. Startups (competitors) begin to post less risk because they'll be hard to find financing.

So - if growing the business is a CEO's top responsibility...if the leadership felt they could steal business from others that experience attrition - they would. My guess is they don't seem to feel that way about the current moment.

Are they, technically, any different than APT repositories?

Don't get me wrong. I hate Snap much more than the next guy, but the idea of keeping a repository so you can go look for, and discover, stuff that is supposedly also vetted by someone is nice.

The issue is, when an app store is a monopoly and not standardized.

APT repositories is, in my eyes, an example of "the good" type of app store.

Well, everyone has a different set of priorities and there is no perfect solution for everyone. It's all about what tradeoffs you want to make (even within the category of "van conversions").

Van conversions, in general, provide an pretty good balance between maneuverability, living space, gas mileage, amenities and price.

There are very expensive 6 figure conversion vans, but also simple ones for 4 figures. Again, it's all about what your priorities are and what tradeoffs you wanna make.

I would not discount the value of manueverability (even if you aren going to just be be moving between RV hookup locations )
