I'm not thrilled to be in the unfortunate position of finishing my degree early next year. Good luck to all new job seekers if hiring freezes and layoffs continue at the current pace.
> a limited number of movies and TV shows won't be available due to licensing restrictions, which we’re working on

This needs much more detail. What isn't available and in what regions?
And the catalog was anyway steadily going down...
> That's a technician not a programmer.

If a technician can handle a job, why would I hire a programmer?
The idea that a "smart, talented programmer" should reshape their life and their interests around "hav[ing] an impact" and "contributing significantly to the biggest innovations of computing", to have "[their] chance" to get on "the rocket" before it "takes off", this is what I'm referring to. The idea that you're literally wasting your time if not working in certain fields: "machine learning, cryptocurrencies, immersive video games". Why do you assume that "impact" and "innovation" should be the driving interests of a young programmer's life? This is a cultural presumption, if not an ideological position.

However, this was not a double blind study, so mileage my vary.
I don't use apt but I think you can use the pinning feature in apt and only allow the Signal application from Signal's repo. It doesn't solve all problems since they could add dependencies from other repos, but at least it is partly stops them from adding their own dependencies in their repo.
The banishing of the Bounty is one of the few purely good pieces of news we've had! I mean I'll cave a few days after Christmas and eat them but I'm not happy about it.
Folks ITT will talk about watches that are similar in hardware, but what was magic about Pebble was the software and ecosystem. The OS was just a delight to use, fast, wonderfully animated, and let you sideload whatever you want.

I've tried a couple of Garmin watches (Vivoactive 3 and Forerunner 55) and the Amazfit Bip, and this is where they all fall completely flat. The UX is just horrible by comparison. It's like these companies have no regard for designing the OS UX and are just trying to cram features in.

And the fact that companies want to make touchscreen watches is just with few/no buttons is baffling to me. Tapping tiny buttons on a tiny screen is a horrible experience. And there's tons of moving targets because of the tiny amount of real-estate.

Pebble _just got it_ with the 2.0 OS and beyond. They were a joy to use.

I begrudgingly have gone back to using an Apple Watch, because despite being subpar, the UX is somewhat together these days, just enough to be tolerable. When I move away from iOS again, I'll probably either pull out an old Pebble that still has some battery life, or a Casio GBD200, which isn't really a smartwatch but ticks some major boxes for me (always-on-display, silent vibration alarm, and timers, chief among them). The GBD200 runs on a coin cell too, so I never have to worry about charging or a replacement being difficult to find!
The other tricky thing is a bad actor will work to stay just this side of the rules while still causing damage and destruction to the forum itself.

Speaking of history, humanity existed for tens of thousands of years without capitalism, so no, "lack of capitalism" does not guarantee "lack of resources."
> It's kinda weird how so many of these sanctions can be tied back to US economic and political interests rather than any form of principle.

This seems to be the way the world works. It's not a principle thing, and this is why any free citizen should always be allowed to question official narratives.

I don't know if knowing the truth is any better though. The people will only get behind an invasion or embargo if they feel like it's a question of moral righteousness.

I think Russia initially used the same tactic of "Nazis in Ukraine"

Is ignorance bliss for the sake of the country? Should we not question the powers that be? Or should we always question them?
Actually I don't think that it was ever a hyperloop prototype, just a tunnel.

But I can't stop thinking of that Joni Mitchell song from my youth:

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I'm afraid I'm too young to understand that reference or context around chatrooms.

Anyway, the Discord server is purely for business and professional purposes. And I use the same username everywhere including Discord, so it's pretty easy to verify my identity.
Not suggesting you meant it this way, but there's an amusing "money person with blinders on" angle to the statement. It's the "what's the point of anything if you're not making money?!"
I guess I don't see why it is stupid in this example? The intent is to represent everyone and not just the majority. Things are not "stupid" just because they don't go your way.
There are many years since I no longer create partitions on any SSD or HDD, because I believe that this serves no useful purpose and it just wastes a part of the SSD/HDD.

I format directly the raw unpartitioned SSD/HDD with a file system that uses 100% of the capacity, with no wasted sectors. At least on Linux and FreeBSD, there is no need of partitions.

For booting the computers, I either boot them from Ethernet or I boot them from a small USB memory that uses a FAT file system for storing the OS kernel, either in the format required by UEFI booting, or, when booting Linux in legacy BIOS mode, together with syslinux, which loads the kernel.
I worked on a project for a carrier focused on monitoring temperature of seafood (oysters to start) from water to store.

They were anticipating some legislation that would require full auditability of supply chain.

Some people watch football, golf, or billiards. Some people watch poker or chess tournaments. Some people like to watch carpenters work or houses be remodeled.

Throwaway because of obvious reasons,

This process as Stripe reads as exceptionally cold and distanced to me. There's an ongoing downsizing at my workplace as well right now, and it's going a little like this:

* Change in strategy and its consequences announced together in all-hands

* Company strategy changed to focus less on rapid growth (something we'd been structured for) due to major changes in capital markets

* All personnell changes are made directly to support and enable this change in strategy

* No departures outside of C-suite had been determined at the point of announcement

* Immediately after announcement, groups of teams gathered in breakout sessions to learn of changes to their structure

* All changes are based on roles and not specific individuals

* Everyone gets to be considered for new roles if their existing role changes, or if they wish to change roles

* New managers to be decided about one week after announcement

* Changes to IC positions to be determined within two weeks after that

* Nobody will get a notice before a consultation meeting

* HR and leadership are holding all-hands about every third day during the process, for QA and updates

--

Mass layoffs by email just seems so immensely inhuman by this comparison. I wish everyone leaving Stripe as part of this all the best, and I hope you find great and inspiring opportunities <3

EDIT: Formatting
I absolutely love prefixing commas. Super readable and good for diffs.

Sure trailing commas also solve the same problems but you need language level support for them. Plus they add one additional character compared to the prefix solution.

I wish I could use prefix comma formatting in other languages but not chance to convince coworkers to use that not to mention getting code formatting support.

Why would you think they are a "mistake"? What is your hang-up?
Plenty of game engines are already spending less than a millisecond of CPU time per frame in their own code, so 2x one way or the other makes almost no difference.

Things don't need to be "exceptionally" fast to be in the area where programming language doesn't really matter.

> Twice the performance on a server could let you handle twice as many concurrent sessions (and possible run half as many servers!)

Which might matter, or it might not. Very situational.

> People regularly fight tooth and nail to squeeze 10% performance boosts on critical tasks, doubling it would be incredible

That kind of task is a small fraction of tasks. And often you're best off using a library, which can often make its own language choices independent of yours.
The problem is the meaning of those rules. Any rule looks reasonable when it is written down. And after some time it becomes a weapon.

For instance, the three deletions (forget the exact term) rule in wikipedia. It is now a tool used by “the first to write”…
I’ve heard it said on some podcast that race cropped up as an intentional structure to obfuscate class distinctions:

- post slavery, many formerly enslaved people had better skills than poor white people

- to prevent poor white people from joining forces with these formerly enslaved people as a large class of “the poor” vs. small class of “the wealthy” racial distinctions began to be used more frequently

- this had the effect of basically allowing the “poor white man” to side with “wealthy whites” (regardless of if something was in their best interests or not) because he could console himself with “I may be poor but at least I’m white” — even though the rich whites often advanced laws and regulations that were generally detrimental to the poor as a “class group”.

Is there any hard data on this or is it just heresay/opinion?
The article does not characterize the status quo as hacky, and furthermore does not acknowledge the existence of mainstream setups that do not share the pitfalls of the "typical setup". I.E. the article kind of creates a strawman.
The (post ww2) world is dived up for the US to take over and Africa is bread crumbs for the then lesser imperial Europeans is well documented.
> I’ll be very explicit here: the universities practicing the policies currently discussed in the Supreme Court don’t care about hardship even close to as much they care about visual diversity.

This is the part that bothers me, they want all the colors of the rainbow but do not care if they are actually helping their students move up in the world.

I went to an ivy, and sure the student body was "diverse" by race but I did not encounter many people from lower classes.
You're confusing having THE reserve currency (for now) with having a healthy & robust economic economy or program.

U.S. debt situation is just the least ugly of all the ugly. You have to pick something, so for now, the $USD is it.
Kiwifarms has an explicit "don't interact with the subjects" rule. Does that mean it never happens?
The people doing this might also be doing infra as code for the virtualization layer on the hardware itself - which this might not be able to satisfy. At minimum they surely have a ton of this stuff deployed already so changing hardware specs big time might not be worth the cost.

Also are you taking into account encryption for those specs?
Or for third parties to bundle "for free."

For example Walmart+ bundles Paramount+'s ad tier. T-Mobile currently bundles the Ad-Free Basic/Standard depending on wireless plan, maybe they'll move to the Ad tier.
I'd want to know what % is enterprise like Intel, Google etc vs home users.

I wish it were true where I currently work. Our offices line up exactly east-west. In a few weeks time, I'll be installing a calibration fixture to calibrate fluxgate magnetometers, and the fixture itself needs to be aligned to magnetic north. What this means is our calibration fixture will be awkwardly aligned 2.54 degrees off-angle to the building. I'm looking forward to patiently explaining to our visitors that it's by design.
They could probably honestly remove 10% of the catalog and nobody would miss anything.

It feels like 80% of the catalog is Netflix homebrewed garbage, another 10% is foreign dubbed garbage, and the remaining 10% you've probably already seen.

I honestly have never thought harder about outright cancelling Netflix. I'm very close...

Every time I log in to watch something, Netflix recommends TV Shows and Movies they know I have already watched because I watched them on Netflix. The rest of the recommendations are Netflix original content, of which I find maybe less than 10% to actually be worth the time to watch. I have never before left so many movies and TV shows unfinished... and the list continues to grow.

I cannot recall the last time I searched for a movie and found exactly what I was looking for.

The value of Netflix has decreased sharply in the past few years.
You're talking about saving _at most_ 200MBish. That's a lot of work to maintain for little gain...
Trucks are pretty mediocre cars though, shit efficiency, they don’t have a rain-proof trunk, and their « I can get shit from Home Depot I don’t have a trunk for » and « I can use a trailer with it » are 0.1% use cases kind of things. They’re mostly a cultural phenomenon, not a real practical vehicle, ask anyone in France who owns a normal car and a trailer.
Curious that the UK announcement, at https://about.netflix.com/en/news/our-newest-plan-now-availa..., mentions:

> In the UK, there will also be nationally recognised brands such as HSBC, T-Mobile, GoCompare, Lidl and Ernest Jones.

T-Mobile hasn't been a consumer-facing brand in the UK for at least seven years.
>I had to move off tutanota when I discovered they don't offer offline access to email.

They do have offline support now as far as I know.
This aspect of people writing what they meant again after being challenged and it being different - I'd assert that when there is malice (or another intent) present, they double down or use other tactics toward a specific end other than improving the forum or relationship they are contributing to. When there is none, you get that different or broader answer, which is really often worth it. However, yes it is intent, as you identify.

I have heard the view that intent is not observable, and I agree with the link examples that the effect of a comment is the best available heuristic. It is also consistent with a lot of other necessary and altruistic principles to say it's not knowable. On detecting malice from data, however, the security business is predicated on detecting intent from network data, so while it's not perfect, there are precedents for (more-) structured data.

I might refine it to say that intent is not passively observable in a reliable way, as if you interrogate the source, we get revealed intent. On the intent taking place in the imagination of the observer, that's a deep question.

I think I have reasonably been called out on some of my views being the artifacts of the logic of underlying ideas that may not have been apparent to me. I've also challenged authors with the same criticism, where I think there are ideas that are sincere, and ones that are artifacts of exogenous intent and the logic of other ideas, and that there is a way of telling the difference by interrogating the idea (via the person.)

I even agree with the principle of not assuming malice, but professionally, my job has been to assess it from indirect structured data (a hawkish, is this an attack?) - whereas I interpret the moderator role as assessing intent directly by its effects, but from unstructured data (is this comment/person causing harm?).

Malice is the example I used because I think it has persisted in roughly its same meaning since the earliest writing, and if that subset of effectively 'evil' intent only existed in the imaginations of its observers, there's a continuity of imagination and false consciousness about their relationship to the world that would be pretty radical. I think it's right to not assume malice, but fatal to deny it.

Perhaps there is a more concrete path to take than my conflating it with the problem of evil, even if on these discussions of global platform rules, it seems like a useful source of prior art?
> Most other subs don't even allow you to link outside the sub, because they've been warned by admins about brigading.

I joined reddit in 2005 and have moderated several subreddits. The admins have never imposed anything resembling that on any subreddit I have moderated. I have a suspicion they impose it when they see a large amount of brigading behavior.

Perhaps it's not applied in an entirely fair or even manner, but I suspect it's only applied when there's an actual problem.
or if you’re talented and have in demand skills don’t settle for a $200k salary because people online told you you were entitled for asking for higher comp in high cost of living areas.
It costs less than that to get a good privacy-protecting VPN (njalla, mullvad) and to set up all the *darr stack on your laptop. Just saying.
To put it simply, a portion of demand today is speculative and based on the expectation of greater demand in the future.

for example, you might buy 2x the material and labor you need for today's demand, because you need them to meet tomorrows higher demand.
What are the hn demographics? Is there a regular survey or anything? Would people be interested in a survey?
Curious how it compares to Iridium, I've seen those with Sparkfun
Makes sense. There is an expectation that they might want to welcome some of these people back at some point.
My guess is it's for packages where you get Netflix included with something else. For example, you sign up for Verizon and get Netflix for 6 months. Now they have a cheap version of Netflix to give you.
Right. To put it another way, this "put up or shut up" system, in my mind, isn't even really there to convince the person who got moderated that they were in the wrong. It's to convince the rest of the community that the moderation decision was unbiased and correct.

These news articles about "platform X censors people with political views Y" are about generating mass outrage from a comparatively small number of moderation decisions. While sure, it would be good for the people who are targeted by those moderation decisions to realize "yeah, ok, you're right, I was being a butthole", I think it's much more important to try to show the reactionary angry mob that things are aboveboard.
Do you think a streaming website which barely has actual categories to browse from, routinely autocompletes unlicensed shows in the search bar as if they were available and doesn't have a database to search which show is available in which country will actually provide those details to the public?

lol
Correct. This is the start of increasing prices and testing ads on other tiers.
That's mostly same as Basic, only downgrade is less catalog and no downloads, all for $3 per month savings.

I'd guess most people wouldn't notice really.

The commenter is saying that there is an NTFS boot partition that is chained after the ESP. So UEFI mounts and execs whatever is in the (vFAT) ESP, and then that ESP bootloader loads data from the (NTFS) boot partition.
The Cubans who ended up in Florida overwhelmingly were fleeing the Communists, because they were well off enough to paint a target on their backs. Most of them loathe the current regime.

Look at how signal vs meta make their money. Meta's entire business model is built around directly violating people's privacy, and conspiring with other businesses to violate people's privacy.

Meta is a publicly traded company. Signal is a 501c3, it's a completely different kind of organization.
If layoffs are occurring, companies or managers are going to want to cut poor performers or trouble employees at that time.

So if younger employees are saying it's cutting low performers, and the rest are left as the younger and lower paid workers to pick up the slack, where senior levels are cut indiscriminately or based on salary, because they are higher paid and the goal is to cut expensive workers.

It’s not about the people that get laid off.

It’s about the other 85%. Companies figure that a higher level of fear will increase people’s willingness to work overtime on weekends and nights too. Most people don’t even realize it but that’s whTs going on the employees subconsciously
BQN: Array Language Compilation in Context
I do see your point and your explanation does add some nuance to my thinking on this topic. That being said, I still think it was a poor choice of words as evidenced by the fact that the majority of the replies are debating the OPs language as opposed to their original point.
> You realise that Russia and the USSR lied nearly constantly right?

No. We dont. That's what the American propaganda tells us. Not the circumstances and actual declassified documents. Character assassination, nothing else.

Hundreds of millions of post soviet citizens do not say anything like that.

That's a religious statement. Nothing else.

The US lied about nonexistent WMDs for EIGHT years. And yet, its propaganda is the one that's being trusted to determine the trustworthiness of others. That's just crazy.
> An adult running a discord server for mentally ill teenagers seems like a cautionary tale from the 1990s about chatrooms

It sounds like a potential setup for exploitation, grooming, cult recruitment, etc. (Not saying the grandparent is doing this, for all I know their intentions are entirely above board-but other people out there likely are doing it for these kinds of reasons.)
And sometimes people are looking for a fight and will search it until they find it ... and then leave.

I've found the more likely result is that people looking for a fight will find it, and then stay because they've found a target and an audience. Even if the audience is against them (and especially so if moderators are against them), for some people that just feeds their needs even more.
> It's so divorced from writing software as to be gibberish.

Only if the software you're writing is A) aggressively simplified, so as to be amenable to informal analysis, or B) garbage.

If you're only interested in writing garbage, or perhaps you don't even notice that's what you're doing, then the appeal of FP is significantly reduced.
What about their competitors? Can't they undersell them and capture most of their customers and still have great margins?
