Excellent points. I work in telco though mainly on business web services side but what you said is about same I heard in here on network side.
It’s a playground for text. If you dream of a feature you want and your elisp is decent, the dream can become reality. It’s a beautiful big mess of features that mostly inter-operate. It feels like you can create ‘emergent behaviour’ when you compose the features.

I started off in emacs just using it to take notes at uni. I wanted to get inline previews of LaTeX equations. Previously I was doing the old ‘markdown written in vim converted to pdf via pandoc’, but I knew something was just.. off. It was a slog to add pictures to notes, I couldn’t render my equations easily, exporting was cumbersome and not the way I wanted it to look… I wanted to do MORE with my notes, have them feel like live documents, not just plaintext in a terminal.

I stumbled across doom emacs 2 years ago, knowing only a paltry bit of python. Picking emacs on that day was one of the greatest choices in my whole life, without any exaggeration. It was very daunting to dive into this big, alien world and ingest so much information (conventions, package names, functions, …). I just kept finding myself amazed that, for someone who prefers to limit mouse usage, emacs contains the absolute best experience in:

- note taking

- document creation (org, ox)

- literate programming (org-babel)

- pdf viewing and interaction (pdf-tools)

- time management and planning (org)

- version control (vc, magit)

- desktop RPN calculation (calc)

- PKM (roam, denote)

This was just a Cambrian explosion of creativity for me. Any number of these killer features were composable in whatever way I fancied. I was no longer held back by the poor interfaces and segregated nature of literally every other piece of software I had used in my life previously.

I mentioned that I only knew a bit of python when starting… the barrier to entry for most languages drops sharply every time you increase your emacs skill. Language major-modes are the distilled knowledge of thousands of man-hours in any particular machine language. Using these (none of which I’ve even mentioned in my list above), I’ve been able to learn (on my own, while studying civil engineering):

- emacs lisp

- Julia

- Common Lisp

- Scheme

- Racket

- APL & J

- JavaScript

- R

- (a few more at a cursory level)

I’ve interviewed at a few engineering firms based on these skills and they’ve all asked me “how did you go about learning all of these things?”, to which I couldn’t just reply “emacs”, but I really should have.

I actually was picked out of the pile of resumes/cover letters because of the presentation and formatting (LaTeX pdf export from org). I was then offered an internship because of my skills gained by using emacs for a few years.

I don’t exaggerate by saying it changed my life. Anyone reading this with any spark of interest: please put aside any notions you have about emacs and just give it a chance.
As a taxpayer I don't want to see any government resources wasted on protecting greedy, stupid cryptocurrency "investors" from their own bad decisions. They deserve what they get and their losses will serve as a useful example to others.
If you have a 3d Printer, buy a hardware kit and plans from Captain Slug on Etsy! I 3d printed a nerf blaster that is _hilariously_ over-powered and super fun!! The process was very informative as I had to tune quite a few printing parameters to get good better tolerances and good exact, rather than relative, output measurements.
There was never such a period. For the last few decades, it has been relatively easy (definitely a hassle that most people wouldn't want to do, but not especially complicated) to build a PC and run Linux on it. I did it as a child just following instructions online without understanding what I was doing.
In the mists of history S. Wozniak wrote the SWEET-16 interpreter for the 6502. A VM with 29 instructions implemented in 300 bytes.

I believe "Zed" is referring to "Z" as a symbol of the invasion (so the brother in question is a huge booster of Russia's war)
I would never face off with a giant corporation over reddit modding. The best case scenario is their threat being total bluster and nothing happens, and even there you have to deal with their loud demands making it purely a negative experience for you.
You have misunderstood. It's not a case of not knowing more about Git and its toolset. It's about our underlying workflow, letting us do version control of our software with simple means instead of throwing everything at it. It's easy to throw a hammer, mallet, pein and a club all at once on a nail, but that doesn't mean it's necessary or helpful.
Russian media had wall-to-wall coverage of the US elections.
Some data from the inside:

RL hit less hard than the rest of the company. No one on my team or adjacent teams let go.

Most bootcampers are gone, even ones that were performing well.

Low performer from my past team outside RL was let go, so it appears performance was a factor for a lot of roles, rather than just axing entire teams based on business need.
They've got some precedence in mining/sabotage operations. In WW2 the Soviets knew that the advancing Germans would basically re-use their own headquarters buildings, so they would rig up some pretty obvious trip-wires/mines that the unsuspecting Germans would clear out, not realizing some far more powerful booby trap was installed waiting a command signal.

It’s undeniable, no matter what you think of the character, that he created huge momentum in the transition to EVs.

Also, rockets.
Yes you can rebase, and drag-and-drop commits to cherry-pick. Not sure about reflog, but I think the visual interface sort of replaces some of the need for it.
To be fair, to "lose" billions of dollars. Really means putting that money into the economy without any immediate return. Which kinda sounds like a good thing?
Anyone have a quick estimate as to the number of layoffs across the tech sector in the last 3 months? Absolutely wild.
So: what could Ukraine do to stop that war? Surrendering territory is as unacceptable, but Ukraine's position is more righteous here.
The letter Z (pronounced like zed by some people) is used as a symbol of support for the war (a lot of Russian vehicles had a Z on them for some reason). Zed-turbo-patrioting is then probably the act of being extremely patriotic and in support of the war

And Backbone.js (2010).
Agreed. If I fuck up and fire people, I'm not taking home a bonus.
Nothing wrong with Firearms culture. Citizens of Ukraine would agree.
Z is the symbol (and V as well) used by the Russia army as marker on vehicles and has rapidly become a sign similar to Swastika of the Third Reich. It has a fairly interesting and mixed history of origin. The pro-war channels are called Z-channels, frequently using that letter in their name (and sometimes V)

Turbo-patriot is a term very frequently used to describe the people who are super extra patriotic in their support of the Putin and the war being prosecuted
If you've got some management core somewhere in your silicon you can, with RISC-V, give it a MMU but no FPU and save area. You're going to be writing custom embedded code anyways so you get to save silicon by only incorporating the features that you need instead of having to meet the full ARM spec. And you can add your own custom instructions for the job at hand pretty easily.

That would all be a terrible idea if you were doing it for a core intended to run user applications, but that's not what Apple, Western Digital, NVidia are embracing RISC-V for embedded cores. If I were ARM I'd honestly be much more worried about RISC-V's threat to my R and M series cores than my A series cores.
In the USA in Meta like companies you have good healthcare insurance, one year paid maternity leave and a lot of other benefits. 4 months salary at layoff. And you make 2 to 3 times more than in Germany.
Not the person you replied to, but what a rebase is is taking a series of commits you made to one place, and replaying them on top of another commit. So you make your PR, then branch off of that commit, and continue doing the normal edit-commit workflow on that new branch. Then, when you the PR gets merged, you git rebase -i (master/main/whatever branch your PR was being pulled into).

You'll be presented with all your commits, you can choose to exclude some from the rebase (useful if you had to update something specifically because it gets updated between every PR/build), then commit to the rebase. It will then proceed to replay each commit you made, just like a repeated version of your stash/unstash process, on top of the new top of the master branch. Your working branch is now contains all the changes you made, but instead of working off your PR commit, it's like you were working off of the finished PR commit.

If you want to make sure that your git history maintains the old branch for sentimental reasons (or you want to try out removing some commits and desire an easy way to rollback if you get lost), just make a branch off of your working branch before the rebase. That branch will be identical to the branch you were working on, before the rebase.

Recent versions of iOS also have a noise generator somewhere in accessibility settings I think.
Agreed, once you grok the start/end semantics of rebase it is not hard to work with. But it can be intimidating for new users.

I actually think it is easier to teach the fully-specified and interactive form ‘git rebase -i start-sha-a end-branch-b —-onto target-c’ which makes it really explicit what is going on (“snip from A to B and put that chain on C”). When you understand that you can start using the defaults that abbreviate the common cases. (Specifically “end-branch-b” is usually not needed since you usually run the command from that branch.) And getting to this level of grokking requires you to understand the data model mentioned above, but not any obscure internals, so I think it is a good bar for “knows enough of git” for senior engineers in most orgs.
Not really. The US attracts wealthy people from around the world, has a gigantic internal market, and is friendly to financial business. If you don't consider the top 0.1% then the picture looks totally different. The VAST majority of wealth in the US is help by people in 50th to 99th percentile range. The Gini coefficient makes the US look superficially more like Qatar, which is obviously nonsense.
I would probably not classify Poland as small, especially noting how big of a population drop between Poland and Romania is. And if Poland were a US state, it would rank 2nd in terms of population, sightly over 1 million people less than California...

They aren’t synonymous?
That's not true. I've done A/B tests in business software on how long it takes the user to get their job done on a data-intensive form.

It's a great tool, and its impact all depends on how you use it.
Don't forget that the company profited from being a platform used to organize a genocide[1].

Agree. I changed "hidden" to "buried." It that better?
> The question, that is, is whether the work of therapy is synonymous with the work of the gospel; whether the task of the counselor is one and the same as that of the pastor.

> Answer: It is not.

Historically, the pastor is a jack of all trades: Spiritual, psychological, social.

The therapist is more of a specialist.

For example, you can expect a therapist to be a confidential emotional councellor. You can hope a pastor is, but ultimately they're not paid to be your personal support, but the support of a community.

> [...] If the gospel is interchangeable with counseling, then people should stop attending church and hire counselors instead. Why not go straight to the source? Why settle for second best? If a minister is merely a so-so therapist with Jesus sprinkled on top, then parishioners can sleep in on Sundays, drop Jesus, and get professional therapy as they please, whenever they wish. I promise you, if what you’re after is twenty-first century quality therapy, neither Holy Scripture nor the Divine Liturgy is the thing for you.

If you can afford a therapist, go for it!

If you cannot, religions partly fill the gap.

After ending therapy, I have found that good friends who listen are entirely sufficient.

Not everyone has good friends who listen, either.
There is no government policy involved. It's voter policy, because voters amended the state constitution.
To be fair, up till this point, Metas PE ratio was half that of Google.
Wells Fargo has had mortgage inquiries drop 90%.

Lots of realtors and small office lenders who partner with bigger lenders could be about to go out of business.

Redfin and Zillow will no doubt try again if they survive and rate changes does indeed tank local employers.

Same loop that played out with local banks in 2008. Policy sure seems to prefer centralization.

When polled, about 60% of folks who lived and worked as adults in the soviet bloc regret its fall into capitalism.
Isn't it more likely to just be an SBU hit?
Maybe it is. They're definitely reducing footprint for satellite offices: https://www.statesman.com/story/business/real-estate/2022/11...
> And without A/B testing, every product you use would be worse.

The primary goal of A/B testing is to see what's more profitable.

If that happens to result in better UI that's a side effect.

In fact, it could result in less usability (relevant to this conversation, it probably resulted in the frustrating "algorithm-based" timeline at FB/Twitter/etc).
Typescript seems to have no problem with it (nor do I suspect F#/OCaml):

class A {
x = 10;
scale(n: number): void {
this.x *= n;
}
}
class B {
y = 10;
scale(n: number): void {
this.y *= n;
}
}
var z: A | B;
z = new A
z.scale(2);
z = new B
z.scale(2);

I was also looking for Sum Types/anonymous enums[0].

It is about trimming the fat mainly. Meta is still absolutely a money printing machine.
I don't have a ton to add but I did want to chime in on this bundle of services.
I got the bundle on a 3 month deal last year and I primarily enjoyed the ad free yt experience. But I've grown to heavily utilize video downloads, I found if I pick videos for both watching and background play at work beforehand I end up consuming higher quality content like EE, art theory, just more tangible content whereas if I just go through my feed as I go I tend to pick a lot of "topic of the day" type stuff. Eventually I gave ytmusic a real shot to the end of my promo and it really surprised me. I found it's music discovery was top notch. Maybe that's because it pulled in 10+ years of yt content to help feed it's algorithm. Not sure, but I am rarely disappointed with it's choice as to what to play next and I have found tons of new artists I absolutely love from starting a favorite track and just letting it go. It's a two a street between services as well, I see a few music videos from time to time pop up on the yt feed from stuff I've only ever listened to on music. On that note sometimes ytmusic will play something that's only on yt (you can't add these to your personal library, just playlists, there are subtle differences you notice in the music app otherwise it's transparent). That extra musical reach into yt really helps with more obscure stuff and it's been a rare track that I can't find from within the ytmusic app.
I'm most impressed with their music service and thus far it's easily outpaced tidal and Spotify in my experience.
I'd start with the childlike superlatives like pointing out "the best epidemiologist in the world". As if there is some world Olympics of epidemiologists to decide such a thing. Being full of memes isn't usually a good sign either.

But that they would claim this data suggests that the vaccine doesn't reduce covid deaths is completely ridiculous. At this point, there is countless data indicating reduced mortality due to the vaccine.
I'm afraid to ask why that particular command is so well memorized for you, but at the same time I'm curious...
Because it works all previous times lol

This will go sideways for them no matter if they are retreating or pretending
> R&D expenses alone are $9bn

Are RSUs included into this number?
I think that’s too obtuse.

Comms is all about knowing your audience.

Non technical? Tell ‘em it’s a better twitter.

Technical? Go into detail about how it’s a censorship resistant microblogging service.

I think you lack a target audience and messaging tailored to them.

Again, anything that gets people thinking is ok in my book. Keep up the good work.
It's a trap - while visibly talking about retreating from Kherson, according to Ukrainian intelligence they've actually boosted troop numbers in Kherson in the last 2 weeks (from ~20k to ~30k) and dug into the city very hard.

They want the Ukrainians fighting to take ground around Kherson and then spend months fighting street by street (as russians have failed to do in Bakhmut) all under pre-sighted Russian artillery sitting pretty on the south side of the Dniepr.

They don't want to blow the damn, they want to embroil the ukrainians in a grind like the ukrainians did to them in bakhmut, with a prize the ukrainians are unlikely to turn down.
I wonder how many of the people who say “musk is just an investor and Tesla and spacex exist because of the engineers” now say

Zuckerberg is clearly the responsible for the failures of Facebook.

You can’t have both.
Very much there is a delineation between authority and leadership.
Authority is the right to do work either formally through policy/power or informally through influence/trust.

Authority has to be granted whereas leadership is something anyone can take up regardless of role. Leadership is the ability to drive change, an act not a position. Just because someone has a lot of authority doesn't not mean they act as leaders, if they operate purely for individual means. In my eyes there is a morality, but that's my personal approach.

Thanks, I really connect with your point that it's the managee to decide whether to carry out what the manager requires. In the knowledge economy we work at will (though may be constrained by perceived needed.)
"I have a right to think for myself" ---> "I have no right to think for myself. I have no right to think at all." ---> "I think therefore I am".
The offer may be appropriate for what the value that the developer is expected to bring to the organization.

Not all organizations get lots of value from developers.

It also means they're not losing a lot by not having a developer, so they're perfectly ok with having the position open until someone takes it.
Hmm. Having looked at https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-09/binance-s... I'm starting to think that this is more of a leak than a rumour, i.e. it's significant information that someone is saying this.
A lot of people depend on Google or Amazon for their welfare of their business.

I guess it's no different.

And also, at least Facebook makes money to fund that open source project.

VueJS on the other hand depends on big donations and foundations to help.

The point being that people depend on way more precarious open source projects as the linchpins to their businesses than they realize.
Nicknames are given by the other side. And all top politicians are self-serving, hence the need to swap them every now and then
You've just expressed the sentiment of the open source (or free software) community :-)
This is not my area. Just audited Distributed System.
This Docker thing, from beginning, sounds like try to implement a middleware using software. I don't recall but obscurely remember the distribute system guys has something about implementing a middleware.
If the kernel is shared, it is not a container. It is like everything laid on the floor on crowded ferry.
I would like to know if there is a specifiction of Docker. Particularly its Qos -- quality of service. That is the major consideration of any engineering.

Where can I get these bonds?
That would make zero sense. Support should ensure Putin loses the war, not a single area. Withdrawing it means letting Putin win. That won't happen.
I think it's the reverse. The name change was a response to seeing an inevitable slide looming in the future.
I doubt it. React is a pretty simple library when it comes down to it, it's open source, it's fairly mature and built out as-is, and it's one of the largest contributions to the web that Facebook has ever made. It doesn't take a huge team to work on, and out of all the goings-on at facebook I would assume react is pretty high on the priority list.
I'm just pointing out that IFVs have the exact same vulnerabilities as tanks, but no one seems to be saying get rid of them. Both are better than being WW1 foot soldiers.

Countering ATGM teams (whether crewed vehicles or dismounts) relies on scouting (both recon and UAV) to find them. That is hard. Often times you'll stumble into a cauldron where your advance turns into a reconnaissance by fire. Then you fix with artillery, and finally have your infantry kill them. This is hard when fighting a well-trained and well equipped opponent. But the Russians aren't even trying.

It's not like the Ukrainians have great gear. These are guys driving around in technicals and ATVs, lightly protected, and using ATGMs to great effect. They're not winning because they have great ATGMs, they're winning because they have the battlefield intelligence to be able to operate quickly and with less protection.

In areas where they have had less success (Kherson mostly until now) they've had trouble with scouting, and the Russians have been more fortified. As those defensive lines break down and they lose their LOCs, they become easier to exploit.
Let's not confuse or conflate A/B testing with making ethical decisions.
- The vast majority of the US population (regardless of political affiliation) approves the government's support of Ukraine, thanks in part due to possibly the greatest wartime PR campaign in history

- Defense contractors are making a lot of money, again with full public approval

- USA is gaining a lot of influence in Europe through its actions

- Russia is being taken down a peg

It's really a very easy and obvious win for the US establishment from all sides
Apologizing means you won't do it again. What steps are being taken so that the situation being apologized for doesn't happen again?
You can't just compare the incarceration rate without also comparing the violent crime rate.
