This has helped me a lot. A few new contacts- who did not know me too well- were a little guarded when I openly appreciated something they did. Society- particularly adult world- has conditioned us to look at things with suspicion. But sincerity comes across eventually. Spreading positive vibes does help.
That's really neat, a lot of times when I see js/ts used in the embedded space, there are a lot of uncanny things coming from using js/ts in my web projects. For example some projects offer TS support but the typings are either all anys or not configured correctly. They also often require lots of random software to flash, I like that this seems to integrate well with npm/node.
I don't want anything; I have no intention of working for stripe.

But in the face of fundraising headwinds, a decision to cut costs like this only improves (or stabilizes anyway) their ability to raise at a valuation closer to what they're looking for in this down market. 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, 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.
I thought this point was overstated, twitter certainly has some controversial content related rules and while as the CEO of Reddit he may have been mostly fighting macro battles, there are certainly content related things that both networks censor.
I recommend duply[1]. It is a frontend for duplicity:

One would hope in the long term we could figure out how to stop polluting waterways with it and depleting the soil and just use what can be cycled or concentrated by organisms whilst still getting adequate yields.

Sadly it will probably take a mass famine or three for that to happen.
There are none, but PineTab will receive updates forever, since it can run mainline Linux kernel.
> I had Amazfit Bip for multiple years until it finally broke.

The face fell off of mine, and the band snapped. The face was put back in with super glue and has been holding just fine for two years, and the band was replaced with a metal one which will last forever.

I had an extraordinarily painful conversation with experience programmers when I pointed out that the values that the hash key relyed upon must not change, for the life of the hash map.
The Quest 2 is all about immersion and presence. Most people are impressed by that despite standalone limitations. Maybe they played the wrong games, or they don’t like to move? Sedentary people really hate VR from my anecdotal experience.

Graphics and visual fidelity can be solved easily. PCVR works well with the Quest 2
While there's probably some overlap for certain use cases, I'd say they're more complementary. In fact, Restic leverages rclone to support a lot of cloud storage services. Restic is specifically meant as a backup tool and does encryption, deduplication, snapshots, and now apparently compression. Rclone is more of a synchronization tool/copying tool (which could also be used to make backups), more like rsync or even just cp (but with cloud storage support).
how does it compares to micropython?
Oh, they might have a bigger problem than that:

I think the argument is that the alternatives can have Linux installed on them (though I suspect a 10 year old iPad can be jailbroken if you want to).

10 years is a dang good run for a tablet; only thing that really can hope to compete would be actual computers.
Is that working yet?

(I like my pine book pro; honest question.)
> And it makes the news and... so what.

What do you mean? They got what they wanted, more or less. They're a group of people organized around an idea, figured they weren't getting attention, so they went to look for a way to get some. That's all there is to it.

I think you're expecting some sort of special significance here. No, it's not complicated or even special.
It's following in the footsteps of the gimp, which is probably not a name which would have been chosen today.
That's the most generous package I have seen in a while. Stripe seems to be nice even during layoffs.
At this point in time I wonder if many people with senior level shares have found other alternatives to cash out. Secondary markets for instance.
Well, I just spent 7 hours on it before reading this warning, thanks for nothing you sick bastard!

> Yeah but what is the debugging experience like? Does that work?

Sort of. In certain stacks, you essentially set up remote debugging like you would for an app running in a remote environment (which is your local container with an exposed port) and your IDE just works.

It's relatively carefree when it works as expected, but a bit of a pain to set up sometimes. Admittedly, something like CPU flame graphs or tools like VisualVM that let you easily select from locally running Java processes to instrument might be harder to work with.

But even then, you can have issues with file system permissions and any bind mounts that you might need (e.g. files in a PHP container, where you want to keep developing and testing your app after page reloads, without rebuilding the entire container).

I wrote a bit more about it here: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/containers-...

I'm still a proponent of using containers for making applications more consistently managed (configuration, resource limits, port bindings, storage), self-contained (dependencies, running different/multiple versions in parallel) and easier to launch (e.g. Docker Compose file or a fancier variation of YAML instead of Ansible + systemd services), but they definitely can be a leaky abstraction if you don't have *nix as your development machine OS.
Something deeply ironic about emissions inspections in my state: my diesel VW is exempt from them. Some shops might do a cursory look to be sure you haven't deleted the particulate filter or the catalytic converter, but, really, most just make sure there is a pipe running from the exhaust manifold to the rear of the vehicle.

Last summer, I accompanied my son when he went across the state line to purchase a truck from a private seller. Said state has no inspection requirements. One of the seller's other trucks was a diesel conversion, and the exhaust was just routed up through the bonnet. Definitely no cat on that vehicle!
I get your frustration here, but keep in mind: your use of that word is not harming Stripe any more than alternatives you could use, but it does harm an unrelated and oppressed group.
The answer to your question is right there in the sentence. They would like to draw attention to it.
What does severance have to do with it?

I was talking about the alleged 'responsibility' by the billionaire owners. Yet said responsibility doesn't lead to job loss or anything. It's empty words.
Yeah this is pretty good. Would make me feel good about getting a job at Stripe for sure. My current company I'm sure would pay NOTHING and we don't get bonuses anyway, so...!
That's kind of the fundamental problem of megawealth: You can't actually be held accountable for anything short of "ritual suicide". When a senior exec or CxO screws up, what conceivably could punish them? Lose their salary for a year? Ineffective. The wealthy make more from interest on their investments than they could ever need to live. What else could punish them? Their stock value going down? Oooh.. Mark Zuckerberg's personally lost $76B in the last 12 months, more than the entire shareholder value loss of Enron's collapse. Zucc still has so much money that an uncountable number of generations of his offspring will still never need to work again in their lives.

Why do people keep working and earning more when they are set for life--what actual practical purpose does megawealth serve once you've guaranteed your standard of living for you and your offspring? The purpose is lack of accountability. Megawealth means you can spend every remaining day of your life screwing up, and besides doing something illegal that lands you in jail, you'll never suffer a consequence.
Agree. I'm still using the original iphone SE from 2016. I've replaced the battery four or five times and see no reason to upgrade, even though it's officially out of support now.

Funnily, when I meet people now with the latest and greatest iphone and they see my old phone they often express they wish they still had one of them.
I recommend Arq also at least for Windows (have not tried on Mac). I'm using Arq 7 cloud (something like $60 a year) on a Windows desktop. The software is straightforward, generally stays out of your way, gives alerts when needed, reliable, saves versions similar to time machine, fairly configurable, and backups are end to end encrypted, and can be saved to Arq's own cloud service, any local media, and most other cloud services. I had lots of permission errors when starting for a small bunch of files but was able to fix them out by either resetting permissions or excluding files (e.g., caches). I think these are the kind of problems you can expect on Windows when using Shadow copy, no reflection on Arq.
Considering how many years it’s been since the devices have been sold, and the fact that the company no longer exists, it’s not bad!
Could you provide your reasoning for the switch? I've had good enough luck with duplicacy but I'm curious about it vs restic now that restic supports compression.
The obvious issue is that giving employees $25-$50 in cash (which is what most of those things cost per person) is too little and can be considered insulting.
that digression into plugging his start-up was gross!

JXL developers are understandably upset about being a victim of Worse is Better.

The Web platform is hardly cutting edge here. It took 10 years to add WebP across browsers, and it wouldn't have been added at all if it didn't cause web-compat issues for non-Chrome(ium) browsers.

From browsers' perspective the question isn't "is the new codec better", but "are existing codecs so terrible that they need urgent replacement". Most people still use JPEG, not even WebP or AVIF yet.
Or, all of the above are depressing. "Someone else is worse off _somewhere_" is a facile way to dismiss any complaint.
Yes, the rest are Dickensian hovels and shoeboxes.
Yeah Acrobat and ABBYY editors are really only useful as a last resort when you don't have time to recreate someone's PDF but you really need a couple words changed.

But they are life-savers when that's your situation.
Like it or not, better for the climate or not, but solar and "other forms of energy independence" subsidies will not power a Caterpillar D9. The world still needs diesel right now, and we're discussing inflation that is happening right now. When we've successfully build construction & transportation equipment that can use electrons, then we can discuss their utility.

What we're bickering about is the timeline.
It seems so: https://www.pine64.org/2022/10/18/infinitime-1-11/.
Rclone is more for syncing than backups. Its great for moving files between storage systems and syncing one path to a destination. Some backup tools use it for uploading/etc.
You are better than many others.
The same for me, but maybe it's not enough to became rich & famous.
Funny that you say that, I did the exact opposite. Was quite an Android fanatic until I switched to iPhone and noticed how greatly everything was integrated. Next to the integration of my AirPods and Watch the apps on the iPhone are generally of better quality than my experiences on Android. Everything just feels a lot more native and faster. Probably caused by the fact that Apple is just a lot more stricter in what it allows developers to do + the fact that Android runs on literally thousands of different screen sizes, where there are only a couple of screen sizes that a developer has to take into account on the i(Pad)OS side.
If you want to talk diarrhea, look no further than those "save to Readwise / Notion / Pocket" comments that pollute most of these long threads.
Imagine that they DIDN'T hire more people when they grew by 3x. See how much people complain about the grind at AWS. People are extraordinarily overworked. We'd be reading "Why I left Stripe" posts and calling out the CEOs for not scaling up properly.
Considering the capabilities, and the quality of the results you get, this software is a true gem with darktable.

I love and use both of them with great results.

"Only US Citizens who are able to move to the Los Angeles area are eligible."

Not smart to advertise a job for US citizens only. You can't discriminate a broader class of people for employment even for national security positions.

Here is the actual statement from your company's website:

This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a "U.S. Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 is required. "U.S. Person" includes U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.

There still is no good replacement for these properties of the Pebble 2 smartwatch:

- > 7 days battery life

- HR monitor (useful as a sports watch)

- < 10 mm thickness

- toned down to fit different clothing styles

- hackable

- high-contrast, always-on screen

- buttons

I am currently wearing a Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire sportswatch, which comes close.
That was the middle? I stopped reading once it got to 'here's my exciting new gig about trees' bit.
This release is absolutely amazing! It has a bunch of neat stuff that quite a few people have been waiting on for a while now:

- Generic Associated Types
- Let-else
- Labelled break
- Stable Backtrace API
- Split debug info on Linux

Huge thanks to all the contributors and maintainers!
> Where do you start and stop with the issue-raising in technical release news?

You start and stop exactly where you want to - no one owes you or anyone else technical release news without this kind of statement.
In a way it is funny to see JavaScript vs Python competing for the next BASIC in this kind of platforms.

Good work, it looks cool.
crazy idea. let's just give our employees money.
My favorite: being asked to pick a company-branded jacket out a few available options and then never receiving it because I work remotely.

I managed to fly in the same week the swag arrived. There were 5+ open boxes of swag visible, but person responsible for handing them out wasn’t
available every time I checked. I didn’t matter that my name, size, and selection was on the list. After I went home there was a company-wide email there were “extras” available for pickup in the office. They hadn’t ordered extras, they were the remote employees’ orders.

This happened twice.
Eight years ago I was accepted to do a PhD in either economics or mathematics at a local state school, no where near any ranking list. However, I had just separated from the military a year prior after 11 years as enlisted member. I was the first one in my family to graduate college, let alone be accepted for a PhD program.

During the orientation process I had to speak with a young woman about grants and scholarships. She was showing me what was available pulling up a grant or scholarship, each one she selected was for women, people of color, or women of color. After seeing these for ten minutes in a row without one I could I apply for, I made the joke, there doesn't seem to be a lot here for white males. She said I can just apply and let them know I was a white male and I would get like we do for everything else. I ended the process there with a sour taste left in my mouth.

She was unaware of my background, growing up on an island in Alaska in housing built during WWII that was eventually condemned in our last year. Moving to rural NC for my last two years of high school, then spending time in the military, separating from Turkey literally months before the attempted coup.

She saw my race not the diversity I would bring from my experiences.
Good examples of self accountability? Sadly not. (Edit: see huffmsa for a good example)

Good examples of accountability to the board? All over. But boards care (by mandate) only about profit unless specified otherwise. There's no incentive for a board to care about whether people are put out on the street either; it's one of the major reasons for why unions exist and are successful: they provide a mechanism for accountability that ties adverse employee decisions back to future revenue loss.

Tl;Dr: nope, and that's sadly by design because why would anyone be self-accountable when the consequences hit the wallet? I was hoping for a ray of light to pierce the dark.
Java Concurrency and Multithreading
The dynamics of a low 2 digit employee company is very different from the dynamics of a company with many thousands.

In the latter case it's simply impossible for a single person, not in middle-management or exec level, to be in a critical 'social glue' position.

Anyone have experience with this vs Darktable?
For what it's worth, when I was a kid, I objected to the idea that I was legally compelled to attend public school, I did and do believe it is unconstitutional on a number of grounds and thus I refused to participate. In retaliation they placed me in special education classes and I spent my time in school being called a retard by the other kids on a daily basis. I'm not offended.
I can tell you I’ve received feedback on take home coding tests of “Outstanding” and “Unreadable” on the same day. Some people are never going to like your code.

With that said, coding interviews are a skill and like any skill it can be learnt. Keep going, read Cracking The Coding Interview, practice leetcode and make notes of every question you feel you answered badly and make sure the next person who asks it gets a better answer.
Can ya fix the scrolling on your site? I don't understand the point of changing browser scrolling.
You can get Long Covid from the vaccine, it is being called vaccine injuries. Quite a number of the people in LongCovid support groups have never had Covid and yet acquired Long Covid symptoms shortly after taking the vaccine. I acquired subclinical pericarditis from the vaccine booster. It’s the kind of thing doctors can’t detect in either an Echocardiogram or a MRI so it wouldn’t get included in adverse reaction statistics. It hurt like hell but fortunately was quickly resolved with colchicine. The cardiologist I saw said he was seeing a substantial spike in subclinical pericarditis.

Regardless of the cause you can test if you have ME/CFS by doing a max exertion test. Do cardio as hard as you can, and if you can’t get close to the same level two days later then you likely have Post Exertional Malaise (PEM) which is defining characteristic of ME/CFS/LongCovid/VaccineInjury.
Heh, the average forum poster, I believe, drives their car at 100MPH and turns 3 feet before a large hole in the road. :D

As much as people complain about businesses only looking at the next quarter, they do typically have a longer horizon than that. When you have the US fed raising interest rates every meeting and outright saying "unemployment is going to increase" then you should expect pretty much every business to take note of this and adjust appropriately.

Yay, more "fuck the long tail" from lazy-ass Google developers.

I understands Object Oriented correctly and knows

Literally nobody "knows" this for every case, there's not a right answer: OO is a philosophy not an instruction manual. "Good programmers" accept there's ambiguity.
Responsibility and accountability are different things.
The problem is how you're using that word. You're using a word that is used to describe actual people in your search for a "vicious" word. Would you feel as comfortable swapping that word out for a different slur targeting a different demographic?

Your anger at Stripe is reasonable, why are you belittling an entirely unrelated set of people in your attempt to express that anger?
It’s set in Computer Modern, the font Donald Knuth designed for TeX and which you most often encounter in academic papers.
> How do you know when you haven’t used modern VR? Google cardboard doesn’t count. That’s my main point

Weird assumption to make. I’ve tried modern hardware, to me it’s mostly just higher resolution of the same thing.

All of your points do very little to address VR concerns. It’s the lazy people hurting the adoption of VR? Shouldn’t it appeal to someone that’s lazy and doesn’t want to go outside?

Facebook is far from the only player in the game. But their inability to make meaningful content with such a large investment should tell you something.

VR is a niche idea that has performed about as well as you can expect. Very few people want to go and work with a VR headset. I think it’s also fighting the trend of people wanting actual experiences, not virtual reality. If I can spend $1000 on a VR headset that will eventually just gather dust or choose to actually go somewhere, I’d choose the latter. Many people would.

I suspect it’ll end up the way 3D TVs did.
Yes it is. People write off vehicle mileage or depreciation all the time.
