I can't speak for anyone else, but the sheer span of sounds he wrung out of his gear is impressive, and to make them hang together in interesting ways is why I like it so much. It has real movement and dynamics, he's a songwriting wizard. One of my favorite tracks, "Vordhosbn" gets me so fucking amped, the beat is so bizarre and nervous and energetic. It's textured in a way some other electronic music isn't, it has character. Like "Yellow Calx" off Richard D. James Album, it has this percussive sound like a ball bearing ricocheting off the side of a warehouse near the beginning (which is a sound he uses in other songs I think) that I can't explain, but I love that sound so much. It doesn't happen again in the rest of the track, it's this singular spike of sound in an otherwise mellow and contemplative song, and it's really effective imo.

Sorry if this is annoying, I just really like Aphex Twin.

Daft Punk is doing something very different. It would be weird to drop "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" at a wedding. This is not a knock on Daft Punk--I think they're great. But occupy a different space altogether and happen to also make electronic music.
FB is making like $30bn year in profit. I am not sure if they are melting down?
There's WATCH and WARNING and (unnamed) - some locations just send everything WATCH and above (some even send ADVISORY which is incredibly stupid).

If the local government is sane, they send WARNING and (unnamed) only - (unnamed) being the YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD MAKE YOUR TIME notices.

Then if you want WATCH you set your weather app to notify you on those.
What is an "amber alert"?

I've never encountered this before, and I don't see any option for it on my phone.

I'm an Android user in the UK, if that helps.
My point is their BTRFS version are stuck in the 3.x and 4.x kernel era.
Or rather the person who is responsible should go before those who are not and have been doing their job.

If a middle manager was responsible for a bad decision, their head would be on a spike. But it's the chief executive officer, so he gets a pass, if only because he's in the position of power.
As a recruiter told me, "I can add your resume to the pile." There are too many resumes in circulation right now.
Your phone is supposed to have a safe max volume, so WEA doesn't need to care. But your phone might not implement max volume correctly.
Wouldn't layoffs starting at larger tech companies imply demand is waning and there would be a much smaller market for all of these new startups?

It depends on how you define "startup." They don't necessarily have to keep staring at screens for their living.

It was mass layoffs of real estate and banking workers in 2008 that kick started the food truck industry.
It's almost as if the framers of the Constitution knew what they were doing when they created a decentralized federalized system and we've screwed it up pretty badly by centralizing power in the Federal Government.
To be fair, his net worth fell by $70+ billion. So that sounds like a financial penalty to me.
The bare minimum would be 60 days severance to stave off California's WARN act, isn't it?
This isn't hard for Zuck - he just directs his subordinates to layoff a bunch of people, and then goes back to swimming in his vault of cash. Losing x billion of essentially infinity money is the same as losing no money. Once you reach Zuck's level of wealth you can't really even conceive of non-billionairs as the being same species as you, much less empathize with them.
> The first is SQL is old and its methodology doesn't directly map onto modern programming paradigms.

Well, SQL is clunky. But relational ideas map very well with (some) modern programming.

Of course, that's for the kind of modern programming that's not OOP.
They can try. But it would be a better time to build a team without the overhead of renting office space. I guess it depends on whether companies see an opportunity to wind back leverage from employees or to embrace new possibilities.
It's great to see Serif finally offering a paid upgrade for the Affinity suite. Serif is a tiny company, and their size versus the incredible ambition of their products has resulted in some often frustratingly slow development ever since the first release of Affinity Designer back in 2014.

Even in the long-awaited V2, there are still popular features Adobe Illustrator had twenty years ago that Affinity has yet to offer an alternative to, such as vector pattern brushes, auto-trace, and even shape blends, something Illustrator has had for closer to 30 years. I really hope the infusion of cash from this new release allows them to staff up and further realize the potential of this excellent alternative to the Adobe hegemony.
I have developed new muscles with dedication and effort, I had Adobe logo in front of me all the while, I was falling down and crying with pain but one look at Adobe logo would make me get up and get going with newly found vigor - just to kick Adobe's bucket and to embrace loving comfort of Affinity Suite.

First the obvious: amazon is evil and the website is crap. Search is bad, filtering is bad, sorting is bad. All on purpose.

Here's some of my process when I don't know what I need exactly already.
- try a few keywords first to find the right category
- use the keywords to make the first search, depending on the item filter by 4 star and above, never by price
- browse listings:
- all caps BRANDNAME, skip
- same picture or clearly same item from different brands, skip
- listing has any badly photoshopped photo, skip
Arrive at a few options:
- there's customer photos/videos? check those (even if the review is fake, the photos are useful)
- shipped by == amazon, if false skip
- check 1 star reviews for delivery damage, if many skip or beware for delivery. amazon uses no padding most of the time.
- check 3 star reviews (then 4) for sensible users making good points
- always ignore reviews with "arrived fast/late"
- always ignore reviews with "seller" is sold by == amazon
Depending on item price, research product more and see suggested alternatives both on amazon and offsite
- check reviews on those products too
- check camelcamelcamel for price history
- current price ok, buy
- current price high, clear history of discounts, clean url from tracking and bookmark with price in the title (seldom open the bookmark, current price < bookmarked price? buy same or next day at most, price will likely increase after traffic)

It had the failed startups but it didn't have inflation, war, and a pandemic.

May also differ by OS. I'm on Android and have options to disable four or five different types of alerts.
I’ve gone back to work for a manger who laid me off. There were literally no hard feelings.

When he laid me off it was clear that he had to hit a hard headcount number, and I knew the project I was working on was “discretionary”. The HR meeting was “this is a headcount reduction and not a reflection on your work. Have a lawyer look over your severance and please accept or decline it within a week.” Really quite professional.
Financially twitter is in a rough spot. They were not really making money. Now they have loans to pay too. It isn't in meltdown but certainly there are things to look at there. Sure, Elon can keep it going for as long as he'd like. But he's a fickle personality. I mean he went back and forth several times just with buying the company. Who knows if he'll lose interest.
It's possible that some percentage of people would change their vote in retaliation to being fired just before an election, and probably from "status quo" to "burn it all down with fire".

Even if it statistically would have no effect, it avoids being blamed for it.
Enso looks great, thank you for sharing.
The other thing I really miss is the simple artboard tool to effectively crop pdfs. Designer does have this, but it's not quite as "nice", iirc.

Taking responsibility would mean resigning as CEO, for example. Or altering the voting situation where he has absolute power, can't be voted out by the board of directors, and thus has no accountability for his actions and mistakes.

But just saying that you're taking responsibility is not actually taking responsibility. It's empty words.
Sure, FAANG may make a lot of frivolous stuff (Metaverse, anyone?) but also a lot of boring software that the world really does run on now days. Google especially.
I believe its more "don't send me an amber alert every time a child goes missing".

But on the other hand it's possible to turn them off so maybe not.
> 1 is an awesome idea and I'd love to hear more.

Basic idea is to use a federated blockchain platform to form a graph of students, teachers, employers and relevant government agencies. When a student gets a job and starts earning income, a percentage of the salary paid via the employer is sent to the education institution and teachers related to that student. More details are here: https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org

> 2 is wiktionary, I think?

Not exactly Wiktionary. Wiktionary is a static type of dictionary. What I envision is a more dynamic multi-lingual dictionary where there is link for a word from one language to other languages. That way users will be able to explore other languages and learn.
If the source was just published without any open source license, I'd call that "public code" or "code released", not specifically "open source" which comes with a different understanding than just the code being released under any specific open source license.

So if the goal is user freedom, how would open source limit that? You have the right to modify the software and you have the right to re-distribute it, together or without your own changes. What "user freedom" is missing from this?
I never thought too much about crossrail before it opened unless there was some disruption that it caused. I’ve always supported mass transit projects but as I wasn’t really the target audience it never caught my imagination. I’ve now tried the Elizabeth line and I’m so glad it was delivered. It’s staggering how big and beautiful the stations are. I remember thinking that this is probably what it would be like to live in subterranean cities on mars.

Regulations, i.e. centralized control via the SEC, doesn't help the poor. All of the massive returns since the SEC's entry into the crypto market in 2017 have been reserved for venture capital funds.

Before 2017, ordinary people were able to participate in Ethereum's token crowdsale and subsequently get returns of 1000X.

Narratives like yours are peddled to the poor to manufacture consent for anti-capitalist "consumer protection" laws that deprive them of investment options, so that insiders gain a competitive advantage over them.
I think it's genius that they allow people to download the videos to their phone - spreading the video on discord etc and other mediums drawing people to tiktok if they want to see more
The issue with that line of thought, where people are justified to take offense to anything and then you ought to watch your language to not offend them to make things productive, is there is no limit to what people can take offense to.

A few days back I saw how using the thumbs up emoji offends people. Eventually, we will all be discussing at the least common denominator, the lowest quality of talk, because everything will offend everyone.

Point is to educate people that it is stupid to take offense to such things, because there are better things to do in life than be offended because someone said some word.
I've said all along that in order to kill crypto all government had to do was absolutely nothing --- just allow it to collapse under the weight of it's own corruption and inadequacy. And this is pretty much where we are now.

Crypto set out to boldly prove that government shouldn't be involved in the money supply --- and it has successfully demonstrated just the opposite.

Cryptobros are slowly beginning to realize that government is the only thing that can save it now and are starting to beg government to step in.
I very much doubt that there is any technical reason for the alerts always being loud. It's a deliberate decision. Like the whole idea of amber alerts, it is a matter of authorities taking decisions that make them feel good, without considering the consequences.

Amber alerts are bad. We get them now and them in Ontario at 3am, sent to the entire (rather large) province. This is idiotic. The probability that someone would be awake and in a position to observe an abducted child at 3am is negligible. The probability that someone woken at 3am will not be able to get back to sleep, drive to work in the morning when drowsy, and consequently get into an accident that kills someone, is not negligible.

Such alerts should be confined to warnings that people really do need to pay immediate attention to. Like a train accident that has released toxic gas, requiring immediate evacuation, even if it's 3am. As it is, an alert at 3am will be ignored, since the system has been abused by the idiots running it.
I'd suspect Marc Andreesen (creator of the first graphical web browser) wasn't doing it out of ignorance

I'm not saying there won't be more layoffs, but I don't think this advice makes sense for people at places like Meta. They are generating a ton of revenue and profit even with the current economic conditions.
They are still making insane profits.
All these layoffs seem to follow the same format of "we're sad to have to let you all go even though business is booming and we're pulling in more money than ever!"

I assume it's for the shareholders. A plain "we're laying people off" letter without the asterisk of how good they're doing is just asking for people to cash out.
> In addition, we go from a phase where people new in the job market (students etc) were being hired quickly to no one hiring them. So there are both laid off people and new entrants added to the pool.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Hiring students is much cheaper so companies may still hire them whilst letting go of other expensive employees at a cost of quality.
malice
I believe GP intended the $100 to be a disincentive to spam people's phones with alerts that can't reasonably be acted upon.
secret handshake.
and the whole strategy is essentially a pump and dump (often involving arcane tokenomics) where VCs dump on retail and make 10-100x returns.

A lot of people didn't see this. VCs used their reputation to pump a token. Then they dump the token almost immediately on retail. This was a much faster way to make money than waiting years for a traditional startup to exit.

VCs were in on the scams.

This is why I lost complete respect for a16z and hate that crypto-shill Garry Tan will run Y Combinator.

It might slow the pace at which he tries to take over the private resources of the island of Kauai, Hawaii from the billionaires before him but I doubt it.

It's incredibly embarrassing for humanity.

A Design Research Framework
Some areas have weather patterns where warnings are frequent, but actual damage is rare. Cincinnati is like this from personal experience. We get far more injuries and damage from high winds and ice than tornados.
I think that the effort to unite the churches might have become stronger in the 15th century because the Empire was no longer a real political and economic rival to Italian merchant republic, Sicily and the rest of the Latin world. It was obvious to everyone in Byzantium that they have no chance of resisting the Turks on their own which made them much more amenable to potential compromise with the church of Rome.

The situation was pretty different in 1200, the Empire was in a much stronger position and due to the conflicts with Italian merchant states and the Massacre of the Latins of the Latins just a decade earlier the relations between Constantinople were extremely poor. But yes, even then most probably did not consider the Latin and Greek churches to be fully separate and distinct entities (i.e. the schism was likely closer to the Western Schism of 1378 than to the reformation in how most people perceived it at the time)

"What have you tried so far?"

And at least half the time, someone just going through their list out loud makes them think of something viable or that they missed. The other half of the time, I can often throw out an additional idea or two and we talk about how to (in)validate solutions.

Show HN: Auto-file bugs to GitHub issues with console logs and network requests
Hi HN, my team and I have been working on a new tool to improve how bugs are reported to engineers.

I used to be a developer, and I thought it was ridiculous the little amount of bug repro details I would get in JIRA tickets.

Then I became a product manager, and I realized how time consuming and tedious it was to write good tickets for developers (and then understood why most tickets lack enough detail!)

That’s why my team and I decided to build a browser extension for anyone to create bug reports that auto-include: console logs, network requests, session replay, timestamp, url, browser, OS and device specs, and wifi speed.

With this extension, it’s faster than the old-school way to report bugs (a few clicks, plus no switching tabs). And, for the developer receiving the bug reports, it should be faster to debug because all the information is right there.
We started with a Chrome extension and soon we’re going to build extensions for other browsers too. (Which should we add next? We’re thinking Firefox).
We built this in react, typescript, mobx, and graphql. It’s privacy-focused: everything happens locally on your browser until you choose to share, and you can even select which specific websites you want the extension to run on in settings.

Today we shipped an integration with GitHub - meaning it’s now just a few seconds to create a really good GitHub issue.
I hope you check it out and I hope it helps bring about the end of bad tickets for you and your team! If you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know here!

He said he hopes people voluntarily decide not to work in tech. Why suggest he wants to disallow?
Several of my professors did the same. Some went as far as saying the particular text book was not necessary, suggesting we can choose our own or recommending another. The important thing was the content of the course, with the source only being relevant for things like accuracy (which was rarely an issue for my field of study, at least for introductory texts which is what publishers tend to game).

Just after I finished my studies things started becoming more difficult though, when additional instructional materials (graded tutorials, quizzes, and such) started going online.
What makes you believe that the US companies are fundamentally better? Tictoc seems to outcompete US social media companies lately and Tesla said themselves their only competition comes from China. I don't think Bytedance has a huge burn rate or at least higher than could be funded on the public markets, no need for state backing.
How did it come down to those two? I'd have expected Affinity Photo to be more comparable to Pixelmator. Isn't Designer more similar to Sketch?
