HR is there to protect the company. Sometimes that aligns with protecting the employee but when shit hits the fan ask yourself does HR work for you or for the company?

I know I sound a bit 'down' saying that but it is an unfortunate reality that companies are not very loyal to their employees when times get tough.
They do own WhatsApp though.
I think cz basically has sbf trapped. I don't even think anyone else can come and save them even if they wanted to cause binance has so much ftt. The moment whoever leaked to coindesk that Alameda was propped up entirely by ftt they were screwed

This one's a favorite of mine, thank for the reminder. Also, you know what brings me back? There's an old computer music production video with El-B Ghost showing off his setup and breaking down his production notes on a track [0]. It's amazing how someone who's not big on computer and technology can figure out everything they need through sheer intellectual brute force and determination.

For a minute there I could not get enough Skream, Loefah, Caspa, Appleblim, Boxcutter. I still listen to them, but it's hard to reconcile that a lot of the original pioneers have moved on. There's a new sound now, more of a wobble - check out mixes from JVIZ and his podcast called JVIZ Presents: Earthquake Weather. It's still new generation dubstep, but it's more roots oriented, and has a fresh out the basement feel to it. [1]

Checking out Sarsy now, thanks!

Though less of them, there were women combat related teams. Special Operations Executive was a special forces organization with women. British women were also in anti-aircraft units. The limitation was on frontline combat. They still engaged in combat on the home front and behind enemy lines.
Like with all lay offs, the move to cut discretionary spending and perks may also impact employee morale and motivation, and the decision to extend the hiring freeze may also limit potential growth within the company... it's going to get worse before getting better
William Shatner: ‘All I Saw Was Death’ Looking Out into Space
SV should start new season. Writers will have no shortage of material.
That you've actually articulated the idea that one cannot be concerned with one thing, and spend your time doing another, suggests that you have zero respect for the fortitude and perserverance of your diverse colleagues.

You simply have no idea how strong we've all had to be. In part, because of patronizing attitudes like you've expressed here.
Pull requests vanish when repos change hands.

If you leave unique information in PRs, that information may be lost in the future. This has happened to me at 3 different companies now, where we inherited another company's code base.

Keeping commits self-contained is the only way to future proof your explanations.
Yeah, but that's still in the USA. The poster is talking about a totally different type of switch.

As an aside, you're talking about switching from a company that supposedly makes revenue selling ads but really is inflated with free money to one that makes revenue from selling hammers. People who made this switch before the free money are going to be fine. Now that 11,000+ people are going to try to make this switch, they're going to wish they had.

The other thing that happens with this is your job becomes much more practical and less oriented to whatever fads are sweeping SV and HN. Some like it, some don't.
Isn't it included in the severance packages?

Just curious. Or you want the severance package to be 30k more?
I don’t see it as SPAs fading, but just the natural progression of this style of making apps/websites. People moved from a heavy server to a heavy client, and in the process realized that shipping your entire website in one bundle at first load is not very performant. Now the tooling has caught up to the point where SPAs can be split on natural boundaries so that the individual page loads are smaller.

I don’t see this as a fundamental change. Writing the actual code still feels the same more or less. It’s more the tooling that has changed what the output looks like.
Could you imagine if corporate buyers were required to upgrade everything to meet current code before selling? It'd likely kill the process dead, of course, but if not then at least we'd see improved homes as an outcome.
Interesting Affinity has removed their products from the Mac App store and only selling through their website now.
aside from the question of novelty, i think i can buy a pocket am/fm radio for us$6 today https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-917855935-radio-por... so building a radio from scratch doesn't have the same cachet it had in the 01950s when a radio was a major household appliance people would save up for

you can definitely kit-build an am or fm radio from a kit without any understanding of the concepts, the radioshack '200-in-1' 'science fair' kit had wiring netlists for both am and fm radios, and didn't really explain the concepts. similarly you can solder together a microcontroller board and write circuitpython on it without any understanding of the concepts

in any of these cases there are a shitload of concepts to learn

i don't know much about chemistry but i think you have measurement error, valence electrons, vacuum filtration, density, oxidation states, precipitation, ph, solubility, activity, decantation, density, enthalpy, recrystallization, pressure, solubility product, never give an acid a drink, entropy, flasks bubbling over, gibbs free energy, hplc, equilibrium, distillation, the arrhenius law, sublimation, ligands, spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, ...

in analog electronics you have measurement error, voltage, current, energy, capacitance, resistance, complex impedance, inductance, frequency, power, charge, parasitics, exponential decay, diffeqs, linear time-invariant systems, lti system transfer functions, convolution, the fourier transform, filtering, and only then do you get into nonlinear systems: rectification, inductive kick, transistor action, transistor switches, the ebers-moll model, miller capacitance, schmitt triggers, oscillators, etc. iirc that's just the first two chapters of horowitz and hill and there are thirteen more chapters and sixteen appendices. to be fair some of them are digital

in programming you have the whole programming iceberg at https://suricrasia.online/iceberg/. but even if you only get into the stuff that is actually involved in blinking an led on an esp32 as a microcontroller-related hobby project you have c, a compiler, a parser, context-free grammars, finite state machines, variables, lvalues vs. rvalues, subroutines, formal vs. actual parameters, arrays, hash tables, linked lists, pattern matching, optimizing transformations, denotational semantics, undefined behavior, structs, rtl, assembly language, machine code, symbol tables, linkers, register machines, propositional logic, de morgan's theorem, synchronous logic, metastable flip-flop states when crossing clock domains, jtag, debuggers, ram, flash, tcp/ip (tcp ip arp routing checksums ethernet), wi-fi, direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication, ofdm, shannon's theorem, csma/ca vs. csma/cd, pwm, etc

there's a shitload to learn but you can do stuff without knowing more than a tiny amount of it
> Indeed. I work with XMPP daily and share your views. However XML can be horrific, and I do dread working with it in many applications (remember SOAP?). I assume people transfer these experiences easily.

Oh, sure, XML can be a nightmare, it was just good enough in XMPP's case that I doubt anything else would have been much easier/better. There were some minor annoyances and awkwardness, but that's hard to completely eliminate in that kind of thing. Its using XML wouldn't have made any list of notable challenges on that project, for sure.

> However we do have XMPP-over-websocket defined these days (which doesn't have to be used only in a browser) and that has framing.

Oh wow, nice. IIRC I used Comet(?), which was my only big client-side dependency, to talk to a very simple bridge I wrote (probably Nodejs?) and OpenFire for the daemon, solely because it was stupid-easy to write a custom auth class (it's Java) so it could share accounts with our broader product without needing to modify any other parts of the system. Having some of that—at least the HTTP-bridge portion—already covered would have made it even easier.
I don't know how they did it, but they did it very very slowly.
Anything "interactive" was unuseable.
So the government has the right to take your money to spend it building housing for someone else? "Housing is a human right" is a lazy, armchair argument that demonstrates a lack of understanding of the housing market.
2006 Apple was very different from 2011 Apple, renewing that license in 2011 was probably considered cost prohibitive for the negligible benefit.
He was worth $130B. Now, $34B. Hasn't sold any significant piece of it while he knew there are risks with changing the direction of the company. That should count for something.
Isn't the plummeting stock price him taking responsibility and ownership? He has lost way more from that than 1% of his stock ownership.
Those credits would become liabilities. By taking them on, Binance would go from solvent to insolvent, using the strict definition of "assets < liabilities". Goodwill alone won't bring the money back.
A lot of people migrated to Telegram though. 10 years ago it would be ridiculous to think that Telegram would be a competitive service.
> This works as long as the subordinates are acting in good-faith.

Presumably they are judged on their ability to perform their jobs instead of trying to read their minds and determine whether they're acting in "good faith."

And one would hope their managers do not call them "subordinates" and instead choose a more respectful moniker.
Also, I can think of many people who would be building amazing things outside FAANG but choose to go to FAANG to pay off college debts or to build wealth i.e. they come from poverty. Let's not even get into biases in how capital is distributed. Like, there's a hierarchy of basic needs for a person and their family before they can turn down life changing compensation to 'build something cool!'.
For what it’s worth I know git fairly well and have used more git strategies than most. I just happen to have found that simple usage actually works better for me personally and most teams I’ve been on.

Knowing a tool also means knowing what not to use:
Well keeping on the cynical train. Parts of the world experiencing desperate poverty often not so coincidentally experience substantial inequality with the folks needing a professional tool not being so different economically from better off areas. If 90% of your market has no problem paying why would you not charge full price?

Next how do you keep Jane in Seattle and Bob in Houston from buying the poor market version? You can't really restrict it by language or locale people use all sorts of languages/settings in different parts of the world. Desktop computers don't have location and people could trivially block the app from having access to location AND network data. You don't want your offline software failing for lack of phoning home.

An argument could be made that Jane and Bob could well pirate it too but friction matters. Lots of folks can figure out how to pirate but fewer of them will actually do it if they have to visit the skeevier corners of the net, risk malware, and feel like a criminal instead of clicking on a different locale on your website and feel like they are cleverly getting a good deal. One weird trick to make a substantial portion of your revenue go away.

I would say that compared to software like Adobe that costs $600 a year or $3000 over a 5 year horizon it's already very inclusive.
That's _before_ we consider that most folks aren't running BSD or Solaris, in any capacity, and that jails were never truly ported over to Linux.
I’d say the latter because what you end up with is much more relatively closer to zero. Of course you weren’t losing much in the first place so there’s plenty of argument for the former as well.
Interesting thread about Tesla and Elon:

They did. It is the over hiring, and they rectify it by laying off people and going into hiring freeze.
I dont really care why you got into it so long as you remain excellent while you're here. the Problem is the (seeming) correlation between money driven motivation and apathetic (sub)mediocrity.
Do you define the Federalist Society position as only originalism? Is the "independent state legislature" position purely justified on the grounds of originalism, or is there more to it than that?

I mean, you could justify no vote for women on "originalism", too. So I think that saying "Thomas only rules in an originalist manner" is too simplistic. Yes, he clearly bases his reasoning on originalism. But you can use originalism to justify many things, not all of which Thomas supports.

Post 17th Amendment, I'm not sure you can build a valid originalist argument for independent state legislature appointment of electors.
What was your test? Do you mean the problem is in GitHub, not git? I suppose GitHub caches a lot of git's output in DBs to improve response time, sounds like fertile ground for bugs.
That's not how open source works. Open source projects don't just float by themselves in the open source cosmos. There's still people behind them.

Maintainers and major contributors are from Facebook. You can't "just fork" the monstrosity that React is and magically keep it moving at the same pace.
I just Googled it and the average forklift driver salary is $40k. After tax and retirement you’re taking home around $2500/mo. After putting $1200 in your piggy bank you’re left with $1300 to pay for rent, food, gas, car, phone. I seriously do not think that is possible, let alone pleasant.
He's also probably not an accredited investor, selling a stock short in any significant volume is not like making a retail purchase. It can be quite hard to make money off knowing a stock will crash, and that's not even accounting for needing to know _when_ precisely since most of the ways involve short dated options. I gave up after investigating ways to bet on interest rate hikes and market corrections, and just went cash heavy at the end of 2021. That doesn't make you a billionaire it makes you just not lose principle.
laying off 11k employees while still claiming to be "historically important" and "profitable"... Poor attempt to stay positive IMO
When InfoSec Becomes Hostage-Taking: Apple’s Account Recovery Process

That's my point. There should never have been any need to exchange crypto into fiat. Bitcoin should have been as ubiquitous as USD. Everyone using it, pricing things in it, transacting with it, holding at least some amount of it. Exchanging for fiat should have been as easy as getting change from a store.
Ahh great. “On Erlang, State and Crashes” is exactly answering my question.

As for disks - in good old times when servers were pets, not cattle that was a good idea. But now when the servers are as ephemeral as actors, we need to approach it differently, hence my original question.

Sidenote - i have a strange relationship with Erlang. I first learned it in 2006, liked the idea and was hoping it will eat the world as scale increases. I even contacted Joe Armstrong in hope to translate his thesis. Zero Erlang books in the world at the time. Then i did some load tests using Tsung in 2012.
Then i used akka.net in 2018. But till this day i never had a chance to properly use in production.
yeah i get it. i have access to some forest land + tech skills and have wanted to do this, but haven't found or envisioned any projects. i'm not a forester so i don't have domain knowledge. the most i can think of is a weather station or a trail camera. also found a github repo that can determine a site's basal area but not sure how to use that info since i'm not a forester.
What extension allows you to block “hover” tracking and not “click” tracking?

If the website is not using a third party site for tracking, you can’t block the owner from tracking and storing your interactions.

While I think there HAS to be some intrinsic value somewhere in a $1T industry, I have yet to see it and am starting to think that the arguments it's worth zero are more right than wrong. Previously, I thought once the irrational market comes back down to earth it would be an interesting technology to start exploring, not as a speculative asset, but I have yet to see any real world examples appear.
Sure, unless you bork your local repo enough you need help from a teammate getting your work into a PR.

Not to say that doesn't make for a good learning moment.

I wonder how much hand-tuning there is in Rosetta 2 for known, critical routines. One of the tricks Transmeta used to get reasonable performance on their very slow Crusoe CPU was to recognize critical Windows functions and replace them with a library of hand-optimized native routines. Of course that's a little different because Rosetta 2 is targeting an architecture that is generally speaking at least as fast as the x86 architecture it is trying to emulate, and that's been true for most cross-architecture translators historically like DEC's VEST that ran VAX code on Alpha, but Transmeta CMS was trying to target a CPU that was slower.

I had one of these machines - I wanna say the 450 Mhz one, I bought in early 2000, c/o the Apple Loan for Students program. The total was $4,000 for everything including a whopping 17" CRT monitor! Had I paid it on their schedule, the rig would have cost me $8,000. Way too much computer for a kid that worked part time as a Perl dev at a web design company making $10/hour while also going to school for art. Now of course my iPhone SE 2020 is far more powerful in every single way.

I do remember being rather annoyed with the speed reduction/price raising. Being a total Apple fanboy, I was deeply entrenched in their fight against uh: the Man, or Intel, or whatever the marketing told me to be mad at.

React used to be a team. It’s an org now. While someone from the org might have been laid off, the org will definitely stay.
Are you making a moral claim?

You see a handful of corrupt government agents. I see a world where billions do not kill thousands of government agents.

The public has made its choice. Some vain apes on HN who see deluded masses in need of rescue may in fact be the deluded fools.
Yeah, the guy in my neighborhood is a full tailor, which is why I was surprised he sent my jeans out. Guy has a bit of an ego too cuz he used to do Johny Carson's suits back in the day or something. But anyhow, getting some jeans taken up shouldn't turn into a 6 week adventure.
While I don't strongly object to Rust's choice here, and I agree that production code should have a type signature on every function, I think this is more a place for lint/clippy/whatever. There's no need to gate the programmer trying something on them having produced a type signature that could be inferred.
Huge losses haven't stopped anyone investing in crypto so far.

Industry-specific tooling is different than a consumer product explicitly marketed as "intuitive". This comparison doesn't hold, for me.

While I agree that git's UI could be made less cumbersome in some cases, many people in this industry want to use sophisticated tooling without doing due diligence such as reading a manual. Handling code versioning in a distributed manner is not an easy task!

I don't expect much from junior developers, but if I have to fix trivial git problems from more "senior" developers, I will have some disdain for them.
Ultimately you have to live somewhere and people don’t choose to live in the cheapest place “in the country at any point in time.”

At the time we bought we found a house that gave us more space than the apartment we rented previously and where our newly arrived daughter could spend her first few years. It’s not one of the trendy neighborhoods and yet it’s close to downtown SF and the peninsula, where we work. We can afford it on one income. All those factors made it a good deal for us. I feel ok about it so far, but I’m certainly open to the possibility that there are better options.
If by "control" you meant "limit", then there's no problem at all. With free market and civil liberties birth rates fall below replacement, causing stagnation and eventually depopulation.
Even if not true (and it very well could be be true), most hiring managers will assume that the people let go were the low performers in their roles.

I assume the leadership structure and culture just didn't lend itself well to handling crises discovered in the trenches.
