Land of Confusion

I really like that music video.
Uber has no cars

Airbnb has no hotels

If these companies don't generate profits, then what assets are shareholders holding onto? The app? The algorithm? The design?

Then that's just IP. And if the asset is just the IP, how is that different from any blockchain dApp, which is just code?

I don't think you're making the point you think you're making. An unprofitable SaaS startup has no assets besides its code either.
Reading this account, written from a position of hindsight, absolutely.

But when you're in the thick of it, involved with a project you really want to succeed, and which has an impact on your reputation, it is so, so easy to convince yourself that it's all a misunderstanding and you just need to keep trying. Particularly if you are a good-hearted person yourself. I've certainly suffered from this (and very few people who know me would agree that i need to be more of an arsehole!).
Some people when given anonymity have no bounds on their behaviors.

That's why many systems and programs fail, because we can only imagine how bad we are, and not how insanely awful the worst of us can act.
Counter-party risk is what makes lending useful. The lender gives up control of the resources so that the borrower can use them. This is where the risk arises from. Defi has invented a new form of lending, without counter-party risk. It's "interesting" indeed but not very useful.

zero percent of some other insolvent company's liabilities? That's the right amount of someone else's liabilities to volunteer to take. Again what's the upside of taking an insolvent exchange when you already are the default competition to that exchange? Why pay money to fund the competitor's failure?

if binance assumes $6b in liabilities for no gain they'll be acting against their shareholders best interest and be on the way to bankruptcy anyways.

No one here can say what the upside of assuming all those liabilities is. Aside from 'goodwill' and 'the entire crypto market will crash', what actual reason is there for binance to buy an insolvent exchange?
Sure, in absence of an economy, but in literally any other scenario no he wouldn't?

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, "Gold can be exchanged for goods and services"

So yeah, if you are an 'the economy is fake' guy then rock on, but otherwise you're wrong.
I think that performance per watt measurement ONLY applies to the budget end of the market. I'm not buying underlying architecture, I'm buying a CPU with a stated performance. If you're buying budget parts and pinching pennies for electricity its certainly relevant. If you're choosing between an AMD 7950x and an intel i9-13900k, its stupid and doesn't matter.

As I said before, the efficiency per watt is a youtuber number. Nobody who is buying chips really cares, or if they care they watch the youtubers who talk about it nonstop already. It's the youtubers bringing it up on top tier chips who are just out to lunch and not understanding the actual selling to a market and distorting things because of numbers they care about that class customers don't.

I don't care what a 7950x does at 100w, because if I wanted that performance I would have bought a cheaper chip. It's a stupid nonsensical number unrelated to why people buy $700 high end CPUs. You don't buy that chip to save $3 worth of electricity.
Why waste money on something that is burning out anyways? Also conveniently mentioning "potential", they really want to make sure people understand that there never was anything binding going on.
What assets do Uber's shareholders own? The app?

How is that different from dApp?
Code isn't going to solve anything unless the people deciding on what to code are the people who are directly affected by it. Code today written by America's engineers is dictated top down by their CEO's or board who are only looking to enrich themselves, so the result will be the same.
Zuck is doing first ever mass layoffs for a company he started from his dorm room 18 years ago and grew to a ~trillion dollar valuation.

Musk is following the standard playbook of private equity takeover + gutting the company to squeeze out remaining profits and then sell for parts. There is no question of even a bit of emotion involved from his side.
The guy is literally describing how to shut down discussion on topics by escalating behaviours around it.

The great problem with this approach is that there are very many groups happy to see discussion of divers topics quashed and they're already familiar with how to get it done on platforms like Twitter.
Remember that Facebook "whistleblower" revealed that Facebook "put profits over people"? That will never not be funny.
Sounds like a pretty easy class you could write in C++. Template it for anything that's integral if you want to get fancy so you can do BigEndian<int32_t> or BigEndian<int64_t> and provide operators that convert to/from the "native" type transparently.

Is that generically useful enough to be part of the C++ standard? Seems like the type of thing that more belongs in a helper utility (aka, surely something like Boost already has this)
I work in the industry. It's an insanely high staffing count. Even at the most secure facilities (e.g. Pelican Bay in California).

We are seeing the triumph of the unions here.
There is no such thing as rational prediction of any sizable length of time for a complex system, so it is trivial to criticize.

How long can you accurately predict a relatively simple system of weather? Climate only works because our forcing is big and the forces are highly predictable.

Social movements, moral ideas... good luck even setting an equation.
Every attempt will be so approximate as to be worthless.
Are you familiar with git pickaxe?

Your argument is essentially that the company treated its employees well, so who cares what it did to users. Who gave you the right to decide the discussion is framed around how Meta treats employees rather than what it does for the entire world?

The observations and inferences here about cycle time, throughput, and behaviour of teams matches with my experience very well. Pair and mob programming are a better way to approach the "review a draft PR early and often" technique because the putative reviewers are also engaged in contributing.

There may be tooling advances as well to support these modes, as the repo clone or fork is currently either per-user or centrally hosted. Shared dev env capabilities such as provided by IDEA IntelliJ are a step in the right direction, though I fear security vulnerabilities from it.
Suing in cases where state or federal law has been broken is reasonable I would think, or participating in prosecution in such cases - worker support and all that. Suing when nothing has been done illegally is a different case. In my layoff experience, the 60-day notice of WARN was handled by "get out of here, you're on staff but offsite for 60 days. When that completes, your severance is processed based on what you signed and how you behaved.".

The 60-days was considered normal employment. Vacation accrued, heath insurance, etc. was paid. HR stressed if we left employment during that period there was no severance because I quit - had to wait the full time to trigger it along with the paperwork. This was a technical solution to WARN and a reflection of the at-will nature of employment. I assume similar calendar games are being played in the tech field right now.

As someone who lives west, the wait coming into Paddington is really annoying. It's definitely worse so far, compared to previously when you zoomed straight in and then changed. Hopefully they make things line up a bit better. My station only gets 4 trains an hour so there's still going to be lots of waiting around at Paddington on the way home also. It is great in the central section though, a really nice job on the platforms etc. And actually the upgrade to step free stations on the western section is good. Although their idea of "step free" is questionable, the gap is huge!!
Lol way too hard given all the politics and gatekeepers in those fields. Doing software is so much easier than that right now.

And I disagree that solving climate change etc. is a "need" for most people. I think we all pretty much accept that climate change is going to happen unless some major coups or revolutions take place, and there's nothing we can do about it. Seems like the plan for the individual is just to ride it out for our 80 years, or until there's some food shortage or water crisis that kills us.
These contracts are very asymmetric in negotiating power. That's actually true of gaming in general: as both an artist or coder you'll almost certainly make more money and have a much better work life balance outside of gaming. Freelancers are even more disposable.

Basically, people who wanna make games do so mostly out of personal passion, and that means they get pretty screwed in negotiating compensation.
yeah, tried angular again recently.. absolutely terrible dx
We (Sourcegraph) have other features to stay competitive. One thing we have been working on indexing other code hosts like Eclipse Foundation, Crates.io, etc.

We put this together anticipating these questions: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/getting-started/github-vs-sourc...

We also just launched Search Ranking and Relevance: https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/new-search-ranking

More to come! And BTW we are happy to have competition, GitHub is a great brand and it will only make code search better for all developers.
Isn’t that true of any source of information?
Interesting. I had the opposite outcome. I didn't like how Pixelmator reinvented the wheel as far as interface goes. I felt like Affinity Photo was a much better lateral transition from Photoshop for my needs. I bought both though mostly to support them. I'm glad we have options that aren't Adobe. I just can't abide the idea of licensing software in perpetuity.
Gold is a consumption good (jewelry) that people choose to treat as an asset (so much so that they forget that it was originally valuable because it was our most easily smithed/mined metal that rulers liked to adorn themselves with).

> it's a slow death unless the US gets more competitive

It's a slow death no matter what. China has 3x the population of the US, and Chinese people are both just as smart as Americans, and likely better educated. If the US has lost its lead, it's not getting it back.
Most don't have a problem uploading address books and contacts into these platforms. I think it depends which team it is. Companies? Cool! Political Party you agree with, sure! They mined the social graph and Zuck reached out to them and said they're on the same team and didn't restrict access while they mined 50 million people. Don't forget Zygna!
"Fools Gold" does a great job of documenting this contagion effect (among other things) during the 2008 crash. Highly recommend

This is happening. Same with video visits. The reform movement for Riker's started well before these were realities for the majority of inmates.
This is not correct. Average American height actually decreased between 1810 and 1900. It wasn't until after 1900 that we see it start to increase again.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/average-height-of-men-for...

Moreover, the increase in height stagnated and even begun to fall at the beginning of the neoliberal era, even while adult heights continued to rise in the more egalitarian European countries.

It definitely gets more mechanically heavy in the late game, in a way that kinda diminishes the pure combatness of the whole thing. At first it feels sorta like "you've given me a small set of murder tools, and I need to use them to build a glorious rampage", and towards the end you have so many options that it feels less artful. I still had fun but I definitely understand the thrust of the criticism - especially given how perfectly DOOM 2016 lets you compose a symphony of destruction with just the guns you have.
Please, yes.
I have a lovely G4 Cube here at home still. The power supply is a strange and large external brick, yes.
This is something that I'm working on and I believe a couple of others as well. My solution won't be available until early next year though, as indexing public repos at scale is far from trivial and I'm expecting this will consume over 40TB of fast storage to be performant.
I'll cede no ground to anyone on loathing the corporate world, to the extent that I've all but abandoned work and the cash economy (at the cost of considerable personal privation).

But humans are complex beings, and it's just realistic to view us all with some nuance rather than casually tossing everyone into good/evil baskets. The gp outlined an example of decent behaviour, and it remains just that regardless of our attitudes on other grounds towards Zuckersnuffles and/or Meta. Even murderers can be kind and decent people given in some contexts (witnessed at first hand).
If installed using a packaged installer, or the App Store, the translation is done during installation instead of at first run. So, slow 1st launch may be uncommon for a lot of apps or users.

Last time when I heard this, the GitHub search was the shittiest search ever I came across. It didn't had even basic dedup. You search for something and there will be 10 pages of results with exact same code from thousand forks. The intern guy who worked on it claimed he had used "AI" however.

All of computation is related to types.

You are taking Type A and converting it to Type B. That is the entire point of computation. All else is abstractions on top of that and algorithms below.

Category theory is what lives on top. Haskell is a programming language and style that borrows very very heavily from category theory. Getting a certain level of mastery in haskell well help you see how programming is related to CT.

> Way more than grep.

Heck, it'd be nice if the current system right now at least did grep with users being able to toggle POSIX options. It doesn't even do that.

Instead, I have to clone the entire repo to do a trivial lookup. To be fair, supporting this would require GitHub to do the compute themselves, but I have no idea what they could possibly be doing right now that's more effective.

Nah. With 86K gross/year in Germany you get: around 4K for tax group 1 (single) and 4.7K for tax group 3 (married and your partner earns less than you).
Also, average rent in Berlin is among the cheapest (compared to other big cities like Hamburg, Dusseldorf and Munich). So, more like 1K/month for a decent apartment.

This salary calculator is extremely accurate https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calcu...

In any case, I agree with your overall statement: even if 86K/year puts you in the top 10% of earners in Germany, in reality it's hard to afford a decent house (not flat) with that salary (unless you wanna work until you're 67...)
Not really the ‘tories’ just some of them. The northern Tory MPs certainly want it. It is funded by long dated bonds. Not immediate taxation as it’s a nationally significant capital project. So cancelling bits of it looks good on paper only but makes zero immediate impact.

I have studied haskell from this perspective. Like I said, you learn how to model computation and how the haskell language works, you don't learn how to design programs. I actually have gotten much more program design ideas from traditional branches of math (analysis, algebra, etc).

And they are vaporizing all of their FCF by reinvesting into the metaverse. Or were until the stock continued to collapse.

Heck I'm still using gsl::span, though that's mainly for compatibility with a C++17 compiler. It's great that std::span was standardized, maybe it was overdue, but it's just a drop-in replacement for stuff that already existed and worked fine.

Yeah, that kind of gets missed out when people analyze the Post War boom. Much of it is a very delayed correction of the prolonged Great Depression. Most of the New Deal labor rights and social programs were blown up during the war, so soldiers returned home to a very liberalized US economy.

Getting to choose your favorite window for your "30 years" is completely a cherry pick.

There were plenty of terrible, unusable sites in the 90s, and there are tons of great ones now. People look back with crazy rose tinted glasses at these sorts of things.
Work culture and values both matter. I found @Leires comment insightful because it jarred me to the reality that while we are appreciating the good in someone, we shouldn't forget their capability to be bad. Can a Gandhian be comfortable working at Hitler's gas chamber? Both had amazing leadership qualities. What attracts us to either of them are the values we think they represent.
So maybe a B-17 pilot can explain: From the image, I can't see what the problem is. If you reach for the gear switch to put the gear down, but hit the flap switch instead and put the flaps down... shouldn't that be just fine? Wouldn't you want the flaps down during landing anyway? Shouldn't putting the gear down cause more drag than the flaps, so you're already prepared for any changes there too?
People have pointed out that Billy Shears or Faul or whomever replaced Paul in 1966 was a hell of a musician who's been able to keep going for decades. Maybe better than Paul was/would have been...

Either than, or Disney used the same animatronics and sound systems for Faul that they've done for Keith Richards for decades. No way HE lived through all that abuse back then.
> I think, only in rare circumstances, like rates being unusually high, such that they will almost certainly go down.

You didn't say if that's the case now (I don't actually know one way or the other).

If you look at mortgage rates over a very long period, that will help. You definitely can't just compare "now" to "last 5 years."
Elevator Algorithm (Disk-Scheduling)
I never had much complaint about Facebook's engineering culture, it seems like they get more right than the other giant tech companies.

Facebook's failures were always with business morals and product direction, and it's the latter that they really really screwed up on this time with the attempt to turn their cash cow into TikTok and the investment into the metaverse.
I find myself still using Google for searching the web a lot, however, maybe 2% is the classical website search.

It’s mostly to find an image, a video, a location on maps, etc.

I wonder if Google could turn things around by rethinking the search experience. They’re still the fastest first stop on your journey to find something on the web. But the behavior has changed dramatically that a change in their UX alone could really make a big impact. Maybe moreso than just an algorithm change.

I once redesigned the search experience of a large global ecommerce company. The UX changes alone grew their revenue quite a substantially and reduced customer complaints.
