I don’t think it will since a lot of these changes were started under Iger. Chapek became CEO at the worst possible time and had to deal with park shutdowns and staffing issues. Of course there were going to be service cutbacks. My visit last weekend was markedly better than the week prior etc.
What political sermon? Do you just mean the diversity of the cast and crew, or did you find something in the story itself that sent a more coherent political message than, "If your boss tells you to blow up the world, say no."
I did. Not great, not terrible. Unlike, say, Love & Thunder, which was actually bad (especially after Ragnarok, which I enjoyed).
Exactly, if you think you might have it get yourself tested. If you end up not having it you can be glad, if you do end up having it your life will probably make a lot more sense very quickly.
You need a “skill set” for any skilled job. The wrong skills will of course limit your options. Acquiring and maintaining marketable skills comes with the territory, not specific to tech.

I wrote plenty of jobs out there. No bullshit, easy to confirm. Not everyone will qualify for those jobs.
wow!

In the mid-late 70s our mainframe had a high speed line printer - it was driven by 120 hammers and a spinning belt of letters, the hammers hit the belt when the right character came past. People printing just cheques might put on a belt with just numbers and a few special characters, it would print faster. The metal belts were known to break, and embed themselves in the wall next to the printer, you didn't tarry when you walked past it.

The page size was determined by a loop of paper tape maybe 12 holes wide, it was as long as the number of lines on a page (paper had sprocket holes) if you put different paper on the printer (or checks) you put on a different tape loop. If you remember fortran carriage control a line that starts with '0' skips to the start of the next page - on this printer N at the beginning of a lines skipped until a punched hole in the Nth column of the tape loop came by (0 was by convention punched just once) ...... if the operators put a blank tape loop up, or had a column with no holes anywhere and someone skipped to it the printer skipped forever - paper came out horizontally and hit the wall rather than folding nicely.

Paper came in boxes, usually with silverfish, which we jokingly said were trained to eat the sprocket holes. The narrow paper made the very best paper airplanes
This is great, congratulations on getting it to this point. I’ll check out the curriculum.
Neoliberalism Was a Counterrevolution Against Democracy
Both the ban on drinking and its repeal were constitutional amendments (18th and 21st). So both cases were enacted via large majority opinion.
South Africans are used to cheap electricity historically. Our usage is quite high, even after we moved overseas....
A few years ago, as fresh IC/Manager hybrid with a couple juniors, I found myself with a junior who wasn't growing well relative to other hires (same team, different team, hires from colleges mostly, some bootcamps too). The two of us didn't talk about performance or contributing or engagement enough. I raised some alarms with my management peers and my manager, but I think it was too late. We transferred them to another team, hoping another team (less independent, more team based), environment, industrial vertical, new manager would foster some growth. A few months later the company let them go.

About a year later, they asked me for a recommendation and I said sure, I will do my best. A recruiter called me, I tried responding via voicemail but no follow up ever came around.

I really struggled to identify weak performance back then. I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. I also kept the topic at bay for too long. My regrets include my slow response, but my regrets extend to the unknown, if I helped ruin this kids career.

You really do need to ask how they're doing, how they think they're doing, and if you have any concerns, air them early so there's time to change.
You must remember there is very cheap labor. A cleaner costs 20$ a day.
That makes sense though.. Terminal commands are easy to put into team wiki or record in personal notes or put into your CI config. There is a command history, it is easy to chain commands, etc..

Unless using IDE's native tooling is making you much more productive (say its debugging does not work without it) it is better to avoid it if possible.
Which is funny when you take into account that people are still using special characters to get a Clyde name that mostly resembles it. I question the effectiveness.
Don't know about Europe but there are TONS of french coders in Montreal nowadays. They kick ass and they're super cool to hang out with. Just don't challenge them at the baby foot table.
Hmm. I haven't coded that much in a while, however I went back and refactored fixme's all the time, whenever it made sense and I had to build something on top of the poorly structured code that would bake in the defect.

That said, if you're just writing sloppy code out of laziness, you probably won't ever care enough to fix it.
A Data-Free zone. I love it. Probably you can find plenty of dead zones, but creating one purposely in a tourist spot? Genius.
Under employment, I would not personally pay for any tools used for work that work will not pay for. Even construction workers understand this
> A bike takes up as much space as like 4 people, if not many moor on a crowded train (although perhaps only 3 in a seating-room only train like the Shinkansen)

A single bike in isolation, maybe, but a proper bike rack (as seen on many European trains) can fit several bikes in that same space; furthermore you might be able to use space that isn't suitable for carrying passengers (e.g. the UK HSTs carry bicycles in the crumple zones where it wouldn't be safe for passengers to be).

> When you consider that, taking a bike on a train is decidedly environmentally unfriendly.

That's going a bit far; even if we assume it really is displacing three or four other people, three or four people's worth of train emissions on an electric train like this is still comfortably less than one car making the same journey.
Maybe they can lower the production costs of these shows.

Most media these days is basically all CGI and kind of crappy. Add some Disney cooking shows, talk shows, and stuff like that to bring in grandmas and busy moms. Add some nerd Star Wars podcasts and bring in people like me who want to nerd out on Mandalorian. Don’t always need to spend 50-200m on cgi heavy shows.
Yes. Liquid cooling is surface area arbitrage. You turn small surface area into large area with a good conductor between them
Never read anything paper which publishes opinion pieces. They are taken as normal news by some people and quoted by some as real news.
Kite messed up privacy expectations one too many times by uploading everything in my home folder without consent. They were repeatedly shamed for this on HN and every time it seemed like they didn't understand why people were mad about consensual analytics.
Starting to charge for parking at the resorts, continuously increasing food prices, still requiring park reservations, and the virtual queue[0] are some of the biggest downsides of the past few years attributed to Chapek.

> Sure, you need a lib - but what the hell do I care?

Well I care, that does not mean that you have to care. Again, look at the lack of client diversity for Matrix and tell me that you do not think that there is at least some correlation in terms of the complexity of the protocol. I sure care that the barriers to entry are significantly higher for Matrix than IRC if you do not have the luxury of having someone else having spent months on a good library for your language of choice (last I checked it meant using either Python or Go). Add to this that the more mandatory features you have and keep adding, the more difficult it will be for clients to keep up.

For what it matters, I use Matrix daily. But I am not going to behave as if images, reactions, code blocks, threads, end-to-end encryption, voice calls, video calls, etc. do not come at a cost.
I think your points are well articulated and educational to me as I am admittedly one of those Linux users that doesn't fully grasp/appreciate the cohesive nature of the system-wide IPC you are describing (even if I was on Windows I would still just stay in the terminal for most of my applications).

> sadly you have to drop away from the pipelines to fuse operations to get decent performance

I used PowerShell as an example because it's currently an important part of the Windows ecosystem and works very well with piping. In my experience using PowerShell (on Linux) as my daily driver I haven't noticed performance losses in using pipelines. That being said, maybe I'm losing more resources by not optimizing every command I run, but so far I am pretty happy using PowerShell while heavily using pipelines.
It was pretty scary. I would slow down when people or animals were in the path of the car, but my driving instructor didn't like that. He insisted that I should go full speed ahead and trust that anyone in my path would get out of the way.
Which is understandable. 21st Century Fox was a much larger company than any of the other three mentioned companies - with sales offices, distribution deals with other studios, physical movie studios, large television production units (especially that output content in the UK/AU).

21st Century Fox also owned the rights to hundreds of movies (Avatar, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Dr. Seuss) and plenty of television (1/3 of Hulu, The Simpsons).

They also had the movie rights to some of the Marvel characters. I don't know how much that was worth to Igor, but it seems that he really wants to get the family all back under one roof.

It's interesting that you mention the ABC acquisition - in today's money that would cost $36.09 billion - just roughly half of the Fox acquisition.
Is silent data loss appropriate for the iPhone?
That whole story sounds a bit apocryphal but even if it's true this is some sort of semi-literate culture. If they're making marks in mud, how are they supposed to encode geographic positions with enough accuracy and write them to a computer system of any kind. And then have everyone understand and agree to what it means. Why it would it be superior to taking a picture and posting it to Whatsapp or Facebook?
Ask HN: Where do I find good and comprehensible code to read and learn?
After a certain point books don't help much for learning programming. We need to either build projects of our own and for feedback we need feedback from mentors. But, in the absence of mentors, reading good code can also help.

I am looking for good quality code that is not humongous but quite readable. Like watching a carpenter carve wood, I want to read code that is well explained like Peter Norvig's pytudes: https://github.com/norvig/pytudes.

If there are channels that live code projects that are not just random youtube bros doing the same type of apps (like to-do list, etc) using some popular library, suggest them too.

Basically I am looking for good code (medium is not a constraint) that can enhance my programming skills.
Obviously they’ll start building customers. Soon the robots will out-shop you.
Wish I had advice for you. At this point we need a "Stripe support" tab on HN.
Hopefully release more movies on Disney+ that remain high quality. I just quit Netflix because their relative output is higher but quality is complete garbage. We need something better.
R49081 means this was a ~49081 digit number, or a number that could be represented in maybe 163043-ish bits or ~20kB or so?

I'm kinda curious if this is a data-size that might be better on CPU rather than GPU. GPUs of course are better compute, but GPU-registers tend to cap out at ~1024 bytes or so, and a number of this size probably would have to be stored in RAM (plus all the associated data structures in ... whatever algorithm happened here).

If this were small enough, I can kinda imagine CPUs being better due to caching effects (L1 and L2 are incredibly fast on CPU, and GPUs kind of miss those tiers in some sense since GPUs focus on register space).

It could just be that this eliptical-curve prime-testing program is currently a CPU kinda function. But I'm curious if this algorithm would be (or wouldn't be) suitable for GPU compute, with more TFLOPS and more VRAM bandwidth for cheaper.

EDIT: A 20kB number would fit inside of __shared__ memory on GPU, so perhaps various operations (multiplication and/or division??) could be parallelized onto a 256-wide/1024-wide workgroup (~1024 to 4096 bytes per clock tick, or ~5 to ~20 clock ticks to perform most kinds of operations with the 20kB number on one compute unit). It really depends on the kind of algorithm going on here, as well as what needs to be searched for. I did a brief read into ECPP testing, and I honestly don't get anything they're saying in the paper (A. O. L. ATKIN AND F. MORAIN, 1993. "ELLIPTIC CURVES AND PRIMALITY PROVING").
We still have twitch games. Celeste was released only a couple years ago
You should watch she-hulk. That show is something, Disney is not just wasting money, they are burning bridges along with the rest of the real estate that they bought.
This feels very adjacent to the Scunthorpe problem, except that the blocking is intentional here:

> The Scunthorpe problem is unintentional blocking [...] because [...] text contains a string (or substring) of letters that appear to have an [...] unacceptable meaning. Names, abbreviations, and technical terms are most often cited as being affected by the issue.

Diversify. Not everyone is a fan of Marvel. But I would happily watch a new episode of Silicon Valley or Friends level show every day.

I wish Mike Judge made a show about FTX and crypto. :) that would be hilarious.
I can also recommend William Basinski's The Disintegration Loops.

The combination of noise, repetition, and minimal melody really helps me focus.
14 months = start of 2024.
GUIs aren't inherently incompatible with composable data. Sharing in iOS and Android is an extremely rudimentary version of such. Then there was OLE in Windows (mentioned in another comment here) and Apple's OpenDoc (controversially canned by Steve Jobs).

It's a harder task to specify than just piping text, and the period of corporate/consumer computer history GUIs have come to maturity in has made it less likely to happen. Which is a shame. With a modicum of luck and the right standards and incentives, marvellously useful tools for active humans could have come about. It seems unlikely to happen now. Most computers are essentially training clickers for passive consumers.
Regarding FTX:

How come VC and the Canada Teachers Pension are doing a series B that raised 420M without any due diligence? Why didn't we hear about this before?
You're not understanding the point at all. The best Linux environments lose the complexity without losing functionality.

Sure, the setup might require some skill, but professional, high quality tools always do.
Some of the people who patented them couldn't get them to work, others reputedly did but could not reliably reproduce them
Short term? Continue squeezing money to appease your shareholders. Find ways to maximize profits at your theme parks, increase subscribers to your streaming platform, and find to make making movies cheaper.

Long term? Impossible to tell. If you'd asked anyone 20 years ago what Disney would look like today, nobody could've imagined Marvel or Star Wars being the way they are, both under the Disney umbrella. And with streaming to boot.
There's currencies now you can trade online that aren't controlled by any one country.
"Airliner" here means the airplane, not the airline.

(And there's a reason airlines fly routes at a loss: an unprofitable route brings travelers to hubs where profitable flights can be allocated cheaply. It's never, ever as simple as "just trim the fat," because the things you think are "fat" almost never are.)
Similar. I put every appointment or meeting in my calendar immediately, take as many notes as I can, and keep to do lists by due date. For me a lot of it is just offloading things to my phone / computer because I know I will forget. If something isn't in my calendar it might as well not be happening. Doesn't matter what it is.
Catapult seems like a very apt choice of word.

Yeah this is the one that's the most well known imo.

Return cash to shareholders so they can invest it in other enterprises. Increase efficiency. Pursue other revenue streams.
So how does that reasoning apply to Jim Crow laws, laws against miscegenation and homosexual sex? Should we always let the rules of majority negatively affect the minority
I mean it’s usually not something that sees a lot of change. Do you really need to go fix it if it’s been fine for 2years?
If something isn’t changing often and thus not looked at often, I’d argue that maybe that effort is best spent on more core parts of the system.

Yeah it’s a bit sad that the logging service isn’t running at max capacity but no one really cares. It’s fine
American units are hilarious. "acre-feet of water" is just the weirdest thing I've read in years.
> That means this company is in real trouble.

Disney uses its IP and theme parks to print money. Sure, it could have been doing better, but as long as people keep paying to see more of Star Wars, MCU, and Pixar, it would take almost intentional mismanagement to actually be in trouble.
> I have never bought any crypto but admittedly I bought into a lot of the mythology.

Why? As a person who is been this space for over a decade, I don't think you need to have bought any token in your Life to realize this guy was a nobody with media hype, money, and political connections and little else. His MIT degree and his career in finance aren't exactly exemplary or even unique in this space either.

> I had assumed he was making money by being a large exchange and front running trades.

They did, as in all of his business associates at FTX and Alameda had built the core business around that, but that is neither novel nor is it hype worthy, considering the myriad of amazing things that are happening in this ecosystem. His downfall was getting caught running a Ponzi scheme in an economic downmarket after having taken all of his customer's deposits. We've had countless exchanges exit scam over the years and some just fall due to blatant mediocrity and incompetence that this also nothing new.

Do you realize how absurd it is to sit hear and see countless SBF threads on a prominent tech based forum in the back drop of the all the calamity caused by fossil fuels, that spans from Russia's war on Ukraine funded by EU's dependence on it's energy, to all the refugees flooding into the UK and treaty (with tons of money behind it) signed by France and the UK to help with this, and with much Europe being on fire and seeing record temp this summer and ultimately with COP27 ending with everyone feeling left defeated as little to nothing was actually achieved?

While at the same time not realizing that Bitcoin is mainly operating on renewable energy, and that a prototype mining farm to recapture the Methane (the most damaging of GHGs) is being built [0] and tested as we speak? If there was any real utility in people's attention you'd think it would be to focus on those aspects, not another useless click-bait headline about SBF's absurd lifestyle and love life with all of his co-workers or what ever.

Moreover, it should be noted that when this raised funds for it's prototype in a frothy bull market that is to be built in CA (that is constantly on fire due to climate change) it only got $4 million as opposed to the $200+ million SBF got from Sequoia alone, and people still think this crook is worth tanking the entire ecosystem due to bad press.

I'm taking a previous commenters suggestion and reading 'Trust me I'm lying' after having read Hate Inc twice last year and the Rupert Murdoch documentary series as it underscores the mechanics of what it was back then to how it is still used now.

You should too, because gullibility is at the core of all of this just as much as greed is; no one promising something for nothing should be taken serious, and yet we see it item and again ending with an ultimate rug-pull.

Is this whole "woke" thing like an actual, serious problem for Disney? The box office for Disney movies since Iger took over in 2005 indicates people don't actually care.
For me the problem is dogs’ unpredictability. I have a small dog, and although I believe 100% that she would never hurt a person or another animal, I still have her on a taut lead ready to yank her away when a stranger’s child wants to say hello on our walks, just in case.

I would want everyone bringing a dog on a train to be in that same level of control, and judging by the people and dogs I see out walking that’s an unreasonable wish.

Diesel fuel isn't the right fuel for a nation grid power supply...

Diesel is expensive and normally only used for small scale generation when there aren't other options.

Where are the gas turbines? They're cheap, easy to install in just a few months, and can scale nearly limitlessly? They're not great for the environment, but far better than diesel.

Then there is also grid scale solar/wind/hydro, which take longer to deploy and have more caveats, but work out cheaper per kWh.
Huh, TIL. Is that documented anywhere? I confirmed that you're right by trying to create a new address, but I've never heard of this rule before.
Please stop trolling. Either engage reasonably or go to Slashdot.

On the very slim chance that you're not trolling, let me explain that "environmentalists" don't live somewhere else. They too are people, that like everyone, live on this planet. They are also voters (at least in the countries where that's possible). Nevertheless, they (the subset you're keen to tag) are not the only people living on the planet nor are they the only voters. Nor, most importantly, are they the only or best funded lobbyists.

Your whole premise is blaming those who fight for "being losers". How about all those folks/groups lobbying against environmental controls? Do they bear no blame in your world view?
I’ve missed the regular “look at how smart and well-read I am” posts from LessWrong.
No I'm saying this case explicitly does not support my argument, however there are enough cases of them making judgement calls that this independent pattern has formed and it's easy for me to fall into the trap of confirmation bias. My initial comment wasn't clear but it doesn't let me edit now.
Yes. I worry very much that the internet will lose it's end user utility and become something that is simply infrastructure for deploying and operating commercial products and services. We are far along the path, but the story isn't over yet. The internet can still be saved for users.
Breaks my hear to see the indigenous tribes and cultures dying. We will regret Deforestation & forced-modernization of these forest based tribes. In Africa & India, some of the evangelical proselytizing has destroyed very old knowledge of the land. There was one tribe in Andaman & Nicobar island which had some indigenous knowledge about weather patterns, storms and earthquakes. It was found that the members of the tribe migrated to higher areas just before the Tsunami hit in 2004.
Disney content is already suffering in quality and is noticeable already. Boba Fett was terrible.
