If a country like France prefers it, it will be built for them.
I know a lot of doctors and medical students, for the vast majority prestige is not a primary motivator, not sure why you think its the prestige motivating everyone.

Knowing these people, I also get the feeling that if pay were worse / debt was higher they would have pursued alternate careers. If your goal is to make more physicians you don't want to make the job less desirable. There are already paid residency positions that go unfilled every year (not because there arent enough students, but because the students dont want them). I don't know why you think people would pursue positions that they have to pay for.

To your other point on the intense competition: If half the people currently applying to medical school quit applying the quality of your average future doctor would drop.
“Submitted the most papers” = takes research “crown”.
I notice every VC cheering this absurd management style on. If Twitter's new management can be somehow spun as a success, it will normalise treating tech employees in general and engineering in particular very poorly - longer hours, less compensation. For VCs and senior management, that's a fantastic outcome.

In a month they're going to say "look! we didn't have a single outage during the World Cup" and act like it vindicates their approach.

No absolute consistency in ISAs, even among the same one: E.g.

- 6502 uses "load"/"store" (LDA/STA, LDX/STX, LDY/STY), but also "transfer" (TXA, TAX, TYA, TAY, TSX, TXS).

- Z80 has "load" (LD, LDD, LDIR) but NO "store" (stores are LD src=reg,dest=ram I think)

- Some 4-bit Sharp CPUs use "t" meaning transfer as a JMP.

- Intel 4004 has mnemonics with Fetch, Read, Write, Load

- MIPS has both "load"/"store" (lb/sb,lbu,lh/sh,lhu,lw/sw,lui,la,li) and a couple "move" mnemonics (mfhi/mthi, mflo/mtlo).

- 68000 has MOVE (MOVE, MOVEA, MOVEM, MOVEQ), but then you do have that pesky LEA (Load Effective Address) instruction.

- Signetics 2650 is consistent, you have LODA/STRA, LODI, LODR/STRR, LODZ/STRZ for load/stores of registers to/from RAM and LDPL/STPL, LPSL/SPSL, LPSU/SPSU for load/stores of the PSW to/fom RAM.
You said battery technology lead. Tesla is a battery manufacturing tech laggard. Tesla will ramp up but their current suppliers are not going to be sitting still.

Isnt that what twitter has already done in the last years?
Years of non-profitability would suggest it, but I am not well versed in what goes on internally on twitter.

Hey! My lips are up here!
I have never bought any crypto but admittedly I bought into a lot of the mythology. I had assumed he was making money by being a large exchange and front running trades.
I completely agree that the audit, to the extent that there was one, must have been pretty crummy. But that they technically had one meant there wasn't a clear "this is an unaudited financial company" red flag.

I've found, actually, that if I happen to be thinking "I wish there was an X", I can search on "X" and it's already been done.
Based on "many people are saying".

It's circular reasoning at best. 80% of employees were fired because it was overstaffed, and since the site is still up afterwards, Twitter was overstaffed.
I tend to look at the person's mouth too, especially when I'm watching tv. My wife told me it's common in autism which seems to be true? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2555425/
IRCCloud is fine, but it's more expensive than Discord, the UX is not quite as nice for reasons inherent to the IRC model, and it's not really more open in any substantive sense (my phone will be running the proprietary IRCCloud application that speaks a proprietary IRCCloud protocol). So why would one bother?
I think it's consistent sound/noise that matters. My Dad worked on a ship and he said when he was trying to sleep the worst sounds were intermittent. He preferred a constant sound no matter what it was.
If you are good at your job I doubt you will put up with Twitter's treatment of employees e.g. lack of vision, late nights and long weeks, inflexible work arrangements, public belittlement of your contributions etc.

And given that it's a private company not sure whether you would expect compensation other than salary.
There's not exactly a list of canonical human names per se, but "bots can't use human names" would still be a very sensible rule for us to have. Put the cost and the burden on companies making bots, not on individual people who got unlucky.

Also names are part of human culture, and Alexa for example has been in use for a very long time. There are valid reasons for names to die off in a single generation (eg adolf) but this is not a reason that our culture gains anything from imo.
It is indeed. Also I want to add that in a city like Paris, you have access to high quality public facilities like open acceas library study room, squares and parks with comfortable chairs so that you don't need to stay home for much more than fix a quick meal and sleep.

That said, it is a precarious lifestyle and not something people do by choice.
At least to my mind, "public failure" includes but isn't limited to embarrassing outages and service degradation on one of the world's most popular social media sites, one that was more or less running smoothly immediately prior.
I emigrated to Australia from Johannesburg (northern suburbs). It's safe, the economy is strong with low unemployment and high wages, there's good healthcare (similar to the NHI that's planned for SA) and education, and it's easy enough to fit in culturally. But it's NOT a "cleaner and safer version of South Africa" - it's definitely a foreign country, which is why Pick n Pay and Woolworths SA have come to grief for that reason when expanding here.

The downside is that there is a severe housing crisis, and labour is in seriously short supply. I'm in Brisbane, and you can't eat out here after 8PM because everything is closed. Shops close early. Our car was smashed by a reckless driver in early November....it's going to be January before they even start fixing it...doing any kind of renovation or home repair is a traumatic experience because of a shortage of people (you can't do your own plumbing or electrical BTW).

I would not live in Sydney or Melbourne because of the high cost of housing, especially Sydney, since I'd probably live in some unpleasant, boiling hot suburb far west of the city to get anything I could afford.

No domestic workers is another pain point, although you adapt.

I'd say that if you have children, it might be worth emigrating from SA for their sakes, but if you don't have kids, and since you have an EU passport, it's entirely down to your preferences. The quality of life in South Africa for upper-middle-class people is pretty good. Anecdotally, many Australians move to places like Thailand or Bali for the sort of lifestyle South Africans enjoy. If you have a home paid for in SA, you can use your savings to travel overseas for relief from the load shedding and crime: I know a few SA upper middle class people who can afford to do that, while I have to pump every spare cent into my mortgage.

Am I happy I moved? Yes. Would I have done it if I didn't have a family....probably not.
The outrage is not having that much money, it's that taxes are too low for those people.

But also, those two are not that rich. The top 1% is the biggest net you could reasonably cast for "too much wealth", and they're below that $11M threshold.

Another good reference point is "what would have gotten you called a millionaire around 1800-1930, before we had several decades of consistent inflation", and the answer is at least 25 million dollars today.
I have a problem with the cosmetic stuff also as it's especially sticky for younger players. My son plays Fortnite and I think a lot about the variety of games I played while growing up, while a huge share of his gaming is the story-lite and constantly restyling Fortnite.

I admire the strategy and the creativity that goes into reinventing it, but I also wonder if this will mean he misses both the diversity and also story-heavy classics from my childhood and onwards. All while chasing gold guns and dance moves.
BTW. Figuring it who is the core team is not that complicated. You just ask everybody to name five people who are doing well and who they want to work with again (in the next company). Then, sort employees by votes, and viola, at the top, you will get your true core team (which may not match perfectly to seniority, number of lines of code written, etc.).

Are those newfangled 360 reviews really that much more effective than other review processes?

And of course this fails to account for how nobody likes, say, those meddling busybodies on the security team, or those idiots at the support desk who always make you unplug and restart things before letting you explain what the real issue is; or how everyone likes that one person who always brings donuts and spends more time being friendly with other teams than actually working.
> Birds can flap their wings up to three times per second, whereas the fastest human-made aircraft only flaps its wings at 0.3 times per second. Birds can fly for long periods of time, whereas airplanes need to refuel regularly.

What an obnoxiously stupid blog post. Planes can travel longer and faster than any bird can.
Manufacturing employment in the UK peaked in the 1960s and fell most precipitously in the 1980s, which cuts against your hypothesis.
> It needed to take in more money, and the huge amount of debt made that worse.

This grossly understates it. The interest payments alone on the new debt are > $1BN per year.

It ran just fine before the acquisition.

After the acquisition it didn’t just need to take in more money - it needs an order of magnitude more.

His decisions don’t seem likely to produce this, but business as usual just wasn’t an option either.
JetBrains IDE's is the most notable exception of dev tools I personally pay for, insane value and productivity makes it a no-brainer purchase given its instant ROI from time saved. Life's too short to not maximize your productivity for a few $'s.

No, he was still President when he got banned.
Totally awesome that this is now working. But performance seems relatively lackluster for now. But it's good they are focusing on getting it to work first before getting it fast.
That's not how poker works. It's player vs player, not player vs house. The casino just takes a rake (a cut of each pot). There is no incentive for the casinos to rig the outcome of the game. They make money regardless of the outcomes.

Doubt.

Employees often have very imperfect information into what other employees are doing in their day to day jobs. The team that looks lazy because they don't immediately prioritize your bugs and requests may be understaffed compared to the operational load.

And unsexy jobs that keep the operation running may be done very well by people who aren't part of the most popular kids, but you'll wind up missing them once they're gone.
Number of times I've order vitamins off amazon in 2022 and they arrived opened: 3

I will never trust them with my healthcare info or drugs.
Another desperate attempt to derail the turnaround?
Ask HN: What are your favorite books/courses of 2022? Why?
Thanks!
This right here is why I always half-assed when my company asked me to participate in interviewing devs. Given the comapanie's track record of laying off quality devs for cheaper options, they were all potential replacements for ME. The expectations around loyalty in this industry bewilder me.
As I stare at this comment on my magical handheld slab of light I can't help but wonder how many layers of virtual machines, or other abstractions, are between the pixels and the source data they represent. I can think of more than I care to admit.

Lately I've been shopping for a PS/2 or equivalent; it has something to do with this.
Conspiracy theory not needed.

I read a note on Twitter that beautifully described the ops situation: somewhere there's a process that writes a log file, and log rolling hasn't been automated for that one yet, and an engineer had it on their calendar to clean it out once a week. That engineer got fired, and with them the knowledge of the problem, the symptoms, and the solution. It may not be a log file being written, it may not be a disk filling up, it may not be a week, but a surprising amount of keeping a system going is institutional knowledge -- even in well-architected and well-developed systems.

The detail is fractal and humans are the glue between machines.
I went to college late in life. We had Python programming class which I liked but I couldn't concentrate in a class with people talking even in low tones, key clacking, phones beeping. Exams were the worst but I got permission to use headphones. At first I tried white noise then pink noise but brown noise is what I found the best. I needed maximum concentration and the entire hour to finish the coding exam. To my knowledge I don't have ADHD but I wouldn't doubt I have it in some form.
Where is the liberty though? By definition, a native from an uncontacted tribe can't make an informed choice.
That's literally what the author described.

"If the company is left only with 20% of engineers (even the best ones), it will be way deep in survival mode (just barely providing support for an existing product, not building some new exciting things or even improving existing ones)."

He also goes on to talk about how the company has deep pockets and that means they're not paralyzed, as you say, in the long term. Feel free to actually read the article for more details.
Putting aside the accusation of bias for a second, which is obviously hard to prove, 2 things come to mind.

1) Why would it take a team to do this job? Was it a large team? I joke, but seeing what's trending and giving a short human description could seemingly be done by a part-time intern while on a bathroom break. I could imagine some reasons for this, but I'm curious.

2) Perhaps a company that's been bleeding money doesn't need to spend money on these kind of roles? You hate to see anybody lose a good job, but it's better than the entire company going under because you can never turn a profit.
I read a little more, you are right. There is definitely niceness but time will tell if all package maintainers will move to nix. IF they do, it will be great that dev mode and deploy mode can be all nix. Until then, not sure why I would use nix for developer workspaces.
Shoutout for this. Except it quite frequently makes me sleep so I usually pair this with some strong coffee.
It's not about the username being taken, it's all about what people appear as in the client; bots and scammers might impersonate Clyde to steal credentials, social engineer, etc, so you cannot be "Clyde_help" nor "Clyde_Official" nor any variation that would make people think the bot/user is speaking on behalf of Discord.
I don't understand where this question is coming from. GP blamed today's problems on ANC.
Note that extenders did a lot of emulation stuff for you, which was not really needed if all one wanted was flat 32bit mode.

We did it for 4k intros back in the day: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=289.

One fun optimization trick was the 0x66 prefix: Switching from 16bit to 32bit mode also switched the trade-off in opcode sizes. So in that intro most of the audio code runs in 16bit mode, while the graphics (which is actually not palette but full 32bit color) runs in 32bit mode.
ADHD is a "disorder" that is predicated on "this person's behavior annoys people around him and therefore should be corrected."

ADHD is only a disorder because human pegs must be pounded into the square holes of class in a sterile schoolroom behind bars, during daylight hours for much of the year, in preparation for white-collar office jobs that many of them won't achieve, but nevertheless you must sit down, pay attention to lectures and study irrelevant things.

And if you can't pay attention, don't take away their computers, video games, or reduce their screen time, just pump them full of amphetamines until they're so drowsy during the day they're just struggling to fall asleep.

ADHD is very Harrison Bergeron, and the schizophrenic Vonnegut knew exactly what he was writing about.
Honestly your solution is probably already the simplest unless you're short for disk space. Maybe someone knows a way to make Ubuntu create a special file that contains a buffer with brown noise, like one of those old tape to CD converters, so that the system sees a music file but it just keeps going. It sounds like a lot of work.

Using 'play -n synth brown' is easy if it's an option. I'd probably use a sound file if it were harder.

well they were an exercise in bullshit back at amazon in 2001...
The marginal cost of union fees is trivial in comparison to a salary.

A union gives you more choices than "surveil or resign".

And if the union fails you because it says "no, you have to surveil" then you can still resign.

Isn’t the purpose of democratic governance to create a society that the people want to inhabit? I want to watch sports, and I want to do so without being bombarded with sports betting ads. If enough people feel like me, perhaps there is a way to create regulations that bring forth such a reality.
I also feel bad for that Google kid I knew in high school. People were always asking him where to find stuff. He thought that changing his name from Alta Vista would stem the tide.

Tragic.
isn't it much too early to know where Elons decisions are positive or negative for twitter? I understand they're negative for the emotional well being of a lot of twitter users, but for the company itself, we surely need to wait for data to come through.
JetBrains is a great example. People pay them because the product is by far the best and the cost is reasonably humble. I think it wouldn't make the same total revenue if they were selling it for twice the price.
I used O3X for years until eventually migrating to a dedicated NAS box running FreeBSD. Lundman deserves all of the credit in the world for keeping ZFS alive on macOS.
Welbutrin? That sounds a lot like a common side effect of that drug.
My thoughts are that viewing binary package distribution/archival as really just a distributed build cache is the only real way to go, and that's exactly why pypi and associated tooling has so many flaws.
Plane without a pilot will still fly for quite some time. Doesn't mean the pilot is superfluous.

And my point still stands that there is no empirical evidence that Twitter was overstaffed.

We do know that their revenue/employee back in 2020 was better than many other startups e.g. Shopify, Zoom.

Once you've fired the first 80%, 80% of the work will get done by 20% of the remaining 20%, so it's safe to fire another 80%, and so forth.

Ultimately, each company should employ exactly one engineer.
This has interesting consequences when applied recursively.
LOL I remember working on Cannonlake A0. The dozen (not plural) parts we got passed sort but all bricked. Turns out the PLL was randomly losing lock due to variation alone. Also the analog designers refused to run timing checks on digital control logic (if we just match the layout it would work amirite?)

I left a year after that... tbh don't see things getting any better from talking to friends. We'll see.
There's a saying in Hebrew that goes something like: "There's nothing more permanent than the temporary". Every single large code base that I've ever worked had an endless number of TODO and FIXME comments.

But I'm with you. If you think what you're doing is ok, don't leave a FIXME comment or plan on it getting fixed down the road. If it's not ok, just don't do it please ;)
ADHD is relatively known, and the solutions for it are institutionalized. In the U.S. at least, people not meshing with society isn't a problem that's super well documented and no institutional solutions exist.

Question 41C. Hispanics care a bit more about the environment than white, but if you account for the median ages (28 for Hispanics, 42 for whites) and compare with the cross tab for age, the white-Hispanic gap seems mostly if not entirely age driven.

Scala is not a true FP language. A true FP language won't let you do imperative stuff.
hmm, maybe someone should tell nato about the assassination attempt on alexander dugin inside russia, the suicide bomb attack on russian infrastructure, the helicopter raids into russian territory, etc
I constantly get told off by my boss for trying to be too clean and extensible at the expense of timely delivery (ie yesterday) but I am also the socially connected engineer who knows who’s good at what, and how to butter them up.

In my mind I’m not getting paid to write nice code, I’m getting paid to help ensure the software side of things keeps expanding without breaking within constraints of time and money. I’m very happy when this involves writing code but I’m also happy if this involves brokering, nudging, reminding, motivating, flirting, cajoling or otherwise positively interacting with the highly talented people I work with.

Social skills don’t come naturally to me, but the time investment spent figuring out the rules/heuristics has given me more bang-for-buck than any other lang.
Tesla got over 2.5 billion in direct government subsidies and people who buy an electric car get a tax credit up to $7500.
I might just lack imagination, but I think the wheels are already well in motion for at least one significant piece, which is many more upstream maintainers having some awareness of Nix and Guix (and now Tea too, I guess) and understanding the value of things like reproducibility, relocateability, not accessing the network during build, not making assumptions about where stuff will be located or that the different build outputs (lib/bin, dev, doc, whatever) may end up in fully separate trees. This goes doubly so for tools maintainers like the people at Kitware, who wield an enormous amount of power in steering devs toward patterns that allow software to be packaged for Nix with minimal patching.

All this lowers the fragility of the package definition and I think helps increase the likelihood of that software being forward- and backward-compatible with different versions of its underlying dependency pool.
Ask HN: How do we defend from or countermeasure Black Hornet Nano intrusive?
or is it just so over-hyped/estimated as it actually has low harmfulness in attacking performance, so no worry and easy to defeat ?
I believe they're calling it Day 1 in the sense that the devs themselves are saying a lot of it is hacked together and not daily driver material for most of the users. A lot of releases and revisions before this is even upstreamed.
