To be fair, the free food was intentionally to create a collegiate type environment.

But I think it’s a universally good perk for more than children. It’s tax efficient (company pre-tax and non-profit expense vs post-income-tax expensive), and it keeps people around the office and around their employees. Keeping employees at work with their coworkers is for sure good for business.
I've actually had very good red/golden delicious when picking them myself at a local orchard. Not sure if they degrade so quickly that freshness was the difference or if the local farm was growing a slightly different varietal less designed for transport and storage.

SAP (2019): "fitness program"
Thanks for the reply. :)
So, I'm thinking to create a small automation, where we can help our customer to deploy the application to the cloud for the UAT environment. And, Then Once the test is completed, then we can delete the application and the cloud instance. So they don't have to worry about the environment anymore. Do you have any opinion on this one? Or maybe you can suggest me something better. Because I have encountered so many times that, when we are on the client site, they are not ready with the testing environment, and this costs us time. In short, we waste our time on the client site
We are well disciplined. We've been publishing open data for 75 years, we are an academic-adjacent organization, not a startup.

The "one ring to organize them all" is an "enterprising finding engine" as opposed to an "enterprise search engine". That is, an enterprise search engine built by people who think search quality matters and might also have some other navigation options.
I really like this idea too. Hopefully someone comes along and makes an open source terminal that does the same thing but without the shady stuff.
Therefore my comparison with mathematical notation. It can be used to write beautiful things, but the reader needs to have some knowledge to understand it and appreciate its beauty. Most importantly though, the density/opaqueness of the notation is what allows it to lift powerful ideas - to express in few lines what would otherwise take many pages.

It's not brevity for brevity's sake - it's understanding the limits of human working memory. The more verbose a description gets, the harder it is to work with it, until at some point, you just can't process it at all (at this point people start making indexes or developing notation to... make things more concise).

Comparing APL with Brainfuck is just ridiculous. The former is designed to be dense to enable efficient work; the latter is a joke that's designed to be sparse.
How does crypto violate gdpr?

To be clear I wasn't trying to say that those employees aren't doing useful work, just that they're non-essential. One could argue that product design/engineering/management isn't essential to running Wikipedia either, especially if the work is for sister projects rather than WP itself. And I imagine departments like HR could be much smaller if the org was much smaller.

Maybe WMF's budget is justifiable based on its impact. I think most of us just want WMF to be upfront about how donors' funds are used, i.e. to not imply that donations are needed to keep the lights on, so that donors can make an informed decision. Most editors agree that the current banner messaging is misleading, as per the linked proposal.
Cybernetics needs a comeback. It was the most important and underexplored attempt of creating an unified attempt of interpreting reality having at its core ubiquitous concepts such as systems, information and complexity. Unfortunately we've been stuck with a reductionist paradigm for a long time, and most people don't seem to care much about the obvious presence of systems all around (and even inside) them.
Does it really? I've found that playing Doom Eternal normally increases the chances of getting my ass handed to me in Counter-Strike. Most mainstream shooters are extensively built around mechanics like cover shooting and burst firing that Doom tends to completely shun and even punish at times. Play too much Doom and you'll be accustomed to just breaking into the middle of the field and throw caution and covering into the wind, which is a great way of getting killed in seconds in games like CSGO, Battlefield, Apex Legends, Valorant and CoD.
I'm shocked there is something worse than red delicious.
Every time I see the "Bitcoin for remittance" logic, the first question I ask is: what is the use case or demand for Bitcoin at the third world where you are sending your money? Why should anyone want that except for speculation? Clearly, Bitcoin is not being accepted at the mom-and-pop shop in Bangladesh (they don't even take credit card), so what are the people supposed to do with the Bitcoin once they receive it?

The answer that I have experienced is that it is being sold to the poorly informed local speculator, who have banked their hopes and dreams of getting rich someday to buying Bitcoin. In that way, Bitcoin is actually stripping wealth from the global poor and draining it back to the wealthy ones.
I never thought I would see mention of Rogers Orchards on HN. Some of my family members live within biking distance of there, and I love stopping by for a bag of apples or a pie.
There is a risk, but the legal risk to individual users is yet to be decided.

What I think is more concerning is that copilot is an extension of effectively automatic copying stuff from stack overflow with even lesser understanding of what the code does by the prompt writer.

Do not get me wrong. I absolutely see the benefits, but the risk listed in the article seems less material than a further general decline in code quality. "Built by a human" may need to end up being a thing same way "organic" became a part of daily vocabulary.
How does the runtime manage different levels of trust between clients?
How does the language grapple with code injection vulnerabilities? If I want to be able to receive data from an untrusted entity, but not code, how do I make sure they're not submitting code to my server to unpack and execute?

Tether's 'market cap' is like 60 billion or whatever, I think most of that was just created out of thin air, but I think some of it was exchanged for real dollars, like a few percent, maybe a couple of billion dollars. In which case, when the fraud comes crashing down, they will have stolen hundreds of millions, to maybe a couple of billion dollars.

Imagine if somebody stole a piece of art worth hundreds of millions of dollars...
Yes, which is why the US Congress added a whole bunch of new regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley) to prevent future Enrons.

Unless something changes, I think the F150 lightning will be my next vehicle purchase. The electrical grid in my area can be spotty, and one of the big selling points for me is the ability to tie the truck into your house for use as a battery backup.

Bitcoin won't die. Crypto will, and hopefully soon. The community here is so oblivious to the characteristics that make Bitcoin the best monetary system we could have invented that I can only believe people haven't really thought things through. That's why we see these comparisons with Bitcoin and other cryptos. I am actually glad all this mess is happening so we can finally move on with all those crypto scams that want to confuse people by walking in the shadow of the true innovation.
We don't have GC (too small), so caveat my take with the fact that I'm writing from a smaller companies perspective.

May be different for a larger, value-preserving company who would face more scrutiny.

That being said, I still find it extremely unlikely that there would be legal ramifications from using a product being pushed by one of the largest software companies in the world. Why go for a user and not Microsoft themselves?

I actually found this a long time ago, totally forgot about it and found it again this week. I've been doing a lot of MC-202 related searching I guess. I tried the demo and it works well! I do like the idea of a more matrix-style editing interface. Nevertheless, I will probably shell out for this.
Ten Steps to “Code”: A Kind of Memoir
TradFi is built around providing financial services. It's not built around issuing virtual assets and then pumping & dumping them, I don't know where you get this notion from.
Check out Urbit. It has a decentralized app store that anyone can publish to. Write once, deploy to all users.
No, it does not.

I used APL professionally for about ten years (early '80's to early '90's) for a range of applications spanning various business applications, industrial automation and DNA sequence analysis used in the Human Genome Project. The language is/was fantastic. It truly is a tool for thought.

How about the funny symbols?

I see this type of comment all the time. If you think this way, you lack context. The notation is an important element of APL's value proposition. You cannot understand this by watching an APL video on YouTube or running through a tutorial.

I equate it to something like using vim. People who have casual contact with it absolutely hate it. Those who commit and develop the skills and mental automation have a very different perspective. From that context, someone saying "vim's cryptic keyboard commands and states are horrible" sounds, well, I'll be kind, uninformed.

And yet, my first sentence implies I think APL does not deserve to exist. Which is it?

I firmly believe the future of advanced types of software engineering will require a form of notation in order to effectively communicate and describe computational solutions. What comes to mind is AI/ML. I think APL needs to mutate and evolve into being the tool that is best-suited for solving complex AI/ML problems. If this can happen, the notation will be critical and just as important as it is in mathematics or music.

I think the issue might be that we don't yet know enough about this evolutionary stage of AI/ML to understand what kind of programming notation we might need to invent. This isn't well defined at all. For the most part, AI/ML is exactly where it was in the 80's and 90's. We have faster computers with massive resources. Yet, if you go back to books on AI dating back to the 80's you will be surprised to learn we haven't really invented much in the last few decades.

This three volume set on my bookshelf is a good reference dating back to the early '80's:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780865760899/the-handboo...

In fact, if you read through it you'll discover just how much was done in the '70's and '60's.

So, yes, I would not use or recommend APL for any modern project. It's a liability from an ROI perspective. In addition to this, the pool of capable APL software engineers is microscopic. That is a huge problem. APL does not make business or technical sense and cannot compete with modern tools, their libraries and the large pool of capable programmers who can use them.
Its value is all well and good if you personally have a use for it, but if you are merely stockpiling it in hopes of selling it later then that doesn't help much if the price has fallen to zero. You might be left with something pretty to look at and little more as you hold out for a recovery, if you don't take the bath and end up with nothing.

Which could also be said about Bitcoin. I'm sure someone out there would find some kind of academic interest in looking at Bitcoins or enjoy collecting them. There might be almost no value in Bitcoin, but it would probably never erode completely.
Hear, hear. Though I guess they could have gotten all their CSS into a style tag in the <head> (which might even be reasonable for reducing the number of requests for things that get hammered on, maybe, if you didn't also want them cached for other pages).

The stuff that Sequoia said about him is almost unreal. They talked like he was going to be the greatest entrepreneur in human history. All because he exploited a momentary arbitrage in Japanese Bitcoin exchanges. Then they gave him shitloads of money and acceded to not getting board seats. I honestly wonder if they were that trusting or they just wanted to maintain deniability.
How Adblock Plus Is Getting Ready for Manifest V3
This is such a Luddite behavior.

How much hubris we have as a species to think that our professions will endure until the end of the stars. To think that the software we write will be eternal.

The thing that we do now is no different than spinning cotton.

I'd be shocked if the total duration of human-authored programming lasted more than a hundred years.

I'll also wager that in thirty years, "we'll" write more software in any given year than all of history up until that point.
Coinbase did all the right things with compliance and ethics, but went through hell because of their no politics at work stance. The media did hit pieces on their CEO because of it. He and Coinbase were villainized on social media.

FTX and SBF avoided this and really any scrutiny by repeating the correct words and opinions, but were actually fraudulent under the surface.

It goes to show how shallow it all is.
We are both probably parroting old blockchain vs. not debates, but my next move is to say:

Your scenario is you can’t trust your stock exchange to correctly known who owns what stock, and you cannot trust their data feeds, given the heavy and necessary regulation of stock markets, given the very goal of them allowing ordinary people to invest in the largest companies without DD in a fungible way.

In that scenario a stock exchange becomes useless regardless of the technology.

Blockchain has other problems too. It is slow! It can’t keep up with the source of truth. And it cannot be the source of truth without slowing operations down massively.

For blockchain to be worth it you would need different validation nodes operated by different entities and consensus. This will mean the end of fast fulfilment of trades most likely.

If your point was about simple api bugs then that is an interesting point. Decent operations and monitoring should prevent this. I would put data loss or accuracy bugs with stock exchange data from the source in the same bucket as “making the exchange useless” as it is not providing a fair system.
The Anti-Promethean Backlash
Bloomberg also estimates that Apple's headset is going to cost $2000 or more, as opposed to the Quest 2 which debuted at $299. Your definition may vary, but I'd consider moving a half-million headsets at that price to be surprisingly large volume. (Also, surely anything at that price point is going to be positioned against the Quest Pro, right?)
Joke from the Simpsons:

Ask HN: Does GDPR and CCPA Apply to Hacker News?
Hacker News refuses to delete public comments or submissions even when users request that they do so. HN says it may consider deleting specific comments if a user emails them and explains why a specific comment or submissions should be removed.

Isn't this a clear violation of GDPR and CCPA?

HN will anonymize usernames, but that does not remove personally identifying links or data from comments and submissions.

Will this ever change? Will it ever be possible for a user to be completely deleted from HN (remove all comments and submissions)?
You can sell and transfer bitcoin directly without any need for an exchange.
I hope it's the end of centralized exchanges.
The venture capitalists at Sequoia—the powerful investors behind Silicon Valley success stories like Google and PayPal—were certainly taken (or taken in) by him. Three months ago, one of the firm’s partners, Michelle Bailhe, offered a breathless take in a firm-sponsored story about SBF:

“Of the exchanges that we had met and looked at, some of them had regulatory issues, some of them were already public,” Bailhe wrote. “And then there was Sam.” FTX, Sequoia felt, was “Goldilocks-perfect.”

In colorful language, Sequoia partners reveled in their appreciation for his pitch for FTX.com as the center of all monetary transactions. In their own words:

“I LOVE THIS FOUNDER,” typed one partner.

“I am a 10 out of 10,” pinged another.

“YES!!!” exclaimed a third.

The firm has since deleted the article.

I have not used it, but I don't understand how copilot could be useful. As a game programmer I don't spend much time actually writing final code. Most of my time is spent working stuff out on paper or writing little tests which I will discard.

In general I want to write as little code as possible as more code = more problems. The code I do write I want to put great care and craft into in order to keep it maintainable. Giving up any of my agency in this critical area seems like a terrible idea to me.

Something that will help me write more code, or write code faster is of no benefit to me.
The HP Memory Project
At this point the story is ongoing, entertaining and the victims are mainly cryptobros. SBF is talking and helping sell newspapers. While I am more empathetic to the victims, I understand the NYTimes strategy here, especially considering he is still talking and saying strange things that he is unaware make him look like a sociopath.

Edit: His own psychiatrist is giving interviews with the times. This story is so juicy.

Are you pretending that the government's ability to create fiat currency out of thin air doesn't endanger anyone? Printing trillions over the past few years is what is throwing us into a worldwide depression.

You think the "spooky scary government" is harmless? The US government has used its funds to kill over 20 million people since WWII without officially being at war. 90% of those killed in US drone strikes are bystanders.

Domestically, we see unrestrained corruption from nearly all of our elected officials leading to every outcome to its own citizens. Poisoned water supplies, missing disaster response, war. But as long as your bank account is insured, everything is cool?

Cryptocurrency was created for, and remains suitable for, valid uses that are not "drugs and other illegal stuff." But this is a new technology without guardrails. Bad actors are a problem. So is FUD from competition and disinformation like the parent.

This is a growing technology that requires a level of knowledge to safely use until it is mature enough for mass adoption.
Oh, I think the art makes it a great project (I should have been less pithy and more fulsome in my praise in the first sentence) for the vert reason you give.

I just meant it inspires me to think of a cheap and easy way to go "monkey wrench gang" in other places. In fact governments could even do this in places where they are trying to restore fisheries.
This was a fascinating read. Is there any sort of explanation or analysis out there on why so many political leaders as of late believe they can alter the deal and then keep the same level of trust immediately afterwards?

I know this happens occasionally and I may just be seeing a pattern that’s not there, but it seems like a noticeable uptick in leaders who don’t understand why people they just fucked over won’t trust their IOUs anymore
It's a losing side to thus remain trapped in that dichotomy. Better to not validate that pretense as existant, I think. Trying to make things better (outside the solutions provided by the dichotomy) is a conversation closed down in this thread.
Let's not diminish the voices which speak of something better than either of two evils. I understand that the selection should never be just between "bad" and "worse", and seeing such rhetoric decries of misdirection away from more fruitful topics at hand.
Pushing the responsibility onto copyright owners rather than GitHub / Microsoft / Copilot seems unreasonable. I'm all for AI being used like this but it also needs to come with some checks and balances to ensure it's not just regurgitation copyright code.

The counterpoint to this is QSBS. Also, the tax situation is complicated. The tax delta between the two is not that wide as long you run break even, though it does still favor the llc, until exit.
Thank you, that makes sense. I think the last point of confusion I have is just, did people suddenly come to this realization?

It seems evidently clear that we exist an a mental ocean of teaming memetic competition. I wouldn't expect less of businesses, media, the US government, other governments, even here when discussing ideas with other people, I'm keenly aware of the fact that nearly all exchanges are an attempt to convince or be convinced of some idea. Am I skeptical, cynical, or hardened, or did people genuinely believe the marketplace of ideas represented a path toward an objective truth?
Fruit at the discount grocery store is usually old/nearing end of life. Citrus, and limes in particular, get noticeably more bitter as they age and oxidize.

This actually leads to a schism in European/American bartending. Europe juices their citrus a la minute, so the juice has no time to oxidize, making the acid component punchier. American bars pre-juice before service, and it has time to mellow out a little.

Someone (Dave Arnold maybe) ran a blind taste test with bartenders from Europe and America and found that the their preferences lined up with the customs in their country.

Personally I follow the Europeans. Not because I like it better, but because I don’t have the kind of foresight to juice hours before I’m making drinks :-)
