Have I missed the feedback from the users? There should be some quotes from team members who liked the change. Their mentioning that they start being data-driven for internal tools suggests that they start treating developers like cattle and not pets.

>Driving down Time In Review would not only make people more satisfied with their code review process, it would also increase the productivity of every engineer at Meta.

This hasn't been tested. "The average Time In Review for all diffs dropped 7 percent" - they have verified that they changed the left side of the equation, the review time, but they haven't checked the outcome, the productivity. Overall it doesn't seem like they have checked if their changes have negative side effects.

Likewise

>The choice of reviewers that an author selects for a diff is very important. Diff authors want reviewers who are going to review their code well, quickly, and who are experts for the code their diff touches.

doesn't match

>A 1.5 percent increase in diffs reviewed within 24 hours and an increase in top three recommendation accuracy (how often the actual reviewer is one of the top three suggested) from below 60 percent to nearly 75 percent.

They have shown that the people they nudge are more likely to do a code review. But are they the experts who do the review well?

The 1.5 percent in reviewed diffs could also be jitter.

*edit: Meta could extend the review process. There doesn't seem to be a review process for the review team. If they don't like to review their changes, or if they cannot find suitable reviewers, how are they qualified to role out their changes to the software development team?
The trouble is that backblaze is actually quite expensive for home offerings. When I looked a few months ago, the cheapest provider (per TB) by far was actually mega.nz, and they offer a platform with no upper storage cap (if you pay for it). Works with rclone, e2ee, and some other "side benefits" too. No idea what the native clients are like, however.

Why is that? The link in the section explaining it doesn't isn't very helpful
Perl had the same problem as C++ and before that Ada have. There’s just too many ways to do things, so everyone use their own subset of the language and their own idioms. Which means that it’s hard for someone else to understand what you have done.
The majority of these bulky javascript code is used to track you.

Is it? I didn't object to the rest of your comment but I don't see how it was relevant either.

> He was donating half his salary while working at Jane Street.

So do we actually know that he was doing that, or is that just another example of everyone taking him at his word?

> Everything you said could be applied to all charitable giving.

Most people don't congregate to discuss how charitable they are, so not really.

Yes? That's what he has said he plans to do, take it public again. And, of course, they have to deal with the debt. Twitter might not be able to, but they might. That's the high risk part - you might burn out, get fired, or the company might collapse.

A turn around is clearly possible. Social media companies have been tremendously valuable in recent history and might become so again. Musk has had amazing financial success with other companies.

As an employee your potential rewards are what I've already explicitly called out. You can advance further and faster up the corporate hierarchy in the tumult. You can also earn and hold stock rewards that may be extremely valuable. And, of course, you may consider it intrinsically valuable to help shape a tool used by hundreds of millions worldwide, and, as the number of employees shrinks, the per-employee impact increases.
I spend very little time advertising them. Maybe 3 times a week I get an email with a relevant keyword mentioned on HN or Reddit, and in 2 of those cases I spend a few minutes writing a concise comment.

About 3 times a year I do promos on Twitter to get more followers and spread the word a bit more through retweets.

And then I have the blog posts I write, which do take a lot of time, but they are mostly for sharing knowledge, not for advertising. Although they do help get some eyes on the apps as well.

> If conventional wisdom is to be believed, it seems like the difference between building an okay app and a great app doesn't matter that much

I'd say the difference matters a lot. Since being in these circles, I notice how low quality apps (or just apps where the author didn't give them much thought after launch) don't get recommended as much if at all, and bad rep is spread on them which deters people from even trying them.

I'm more inclined towards the "a good product sells itself" line. It definitely doesn't sell itself if people don't know about it, but you have a much higher chance to get picked up by vocal people and groups and recommended around if your app is high quality and makes a good impression. Even more so if you hear what people have to say after trying your app and try to improve the app for a few months after the launch.

The article linked here addresses that multiple times. That accusation, largely overinflated by the media, was dismissed with prejudice. He was never even charged with it.
Trickle down doesnt work for billionaires that game the system. For most engineers life is about living.
At first I thought paulg must have posted that weeks ago, but no, it's from yesterday. I wouldn't expect such a vote of confidence on Musk after all the data points we've received since he took over the company.

I'm not even sure what paulg's point is. Are people actually claiming they'd do a better job than Musk, or are they simply commenting on the missteps and bizarre behavior. You don't need to have run a successful tech company to know that spending your time as a CEO antagonizing your employees on social media, and then threatening your remaining employees with an ultimatum is not a good idea.
It was totally a political trial with many exaggerations and the government trying to "set an example".

>Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.

>Users of Silk Road chose to exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Prohibited was anything involuntary that could harm a third party.

>Ross was not convicted of selling drugs or illegal items himself, but was held responsible for what others sold on the site.
The website is called "free Ross Ulbricht," they aren't quiet about their bias.

>none of this is utilizing actual facts,

"The allegations were never charged at trial, never proven, never submitted to, or ruled on by, a jury, and eventually dismissed with prejudice" are the actual facts.
Lisp was in fact returning up from 19 levels of recursion, when it encountered Algol that was just starting on its way down. Lisp thumbed its nose:

"I got there first, Algol; don't bother looking for the return value!"
I never understood the premise behind questions like GP's, when they ask about something that's very obvious and intuitive for a person with any life experience. Maybe some of these comments are just about trying to be argumentative rather than asking honest questions.
Maybe the codebases need some tidying for open source, the chronology seems to make sense. I guess it isn't as simple as 'make repo public'.
A few _days_ ago they were looking at 60-70 cents. I suspect those were (relatively speaking) the good old days.
Yes, but more risk. In five to ten years I think there is more of a chance for Twitter to be worth 500 billion dollars than a random startup trying to recreate Twitter.
It seems Convex is about having data storage + client libraries that automatically react to changes without the developer explicitly making API calls and setting up subscriptions. On first glance it seems most useful for multiplayer apps, but maybe it’s more broadly applicable because of reactive web frameworks.

Question for frontend developers: would you agree that data management is one of the harder parts of using serverless platforms today? How does this compare with some of the other offerings out there?
Bridges always degrade the user experience. Chats come from the bridge user, so now you need to look for some strangely formatted header to see who sent the message, there are no avatars, formatting that might be crucial to the meaning of the message gets stripped on unsupported platforms, same for certain attachments...
I read more in this a while back, and they also dug special ditches, did some orher things, to make the environment more friendly.
Not doubting the facts you've mentioned, but in my experience I've had no problems getting the surfaces to wet, though that may just be due to using rosin core solder that happens to have a good flux in it.
"First-time offender, All non-violent charges, Two life sentences + 40 years without parole"

Seems pretty clear cut. I would like to take this moment to remind you that Ghislane Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years.

This hits home. Not only in databases, but also in code.
What is a human but an idea.
Employment is managed by a contract.

Likely that contract doesn't have a clause that states it only remains valid if the employee clicks on "yes" in death march emails.

So, the contract remains valid until either the employee quits or the employer terminates. Not reacting to an email is not quitting.

I'm pretty sure that legally, the employees that received that email and didn't click/answer are still considered employees. They are only terminated once they received their actual termination papers, not an "if / then" email.
My first foray into programming was on an HP-41C calculator. At the time I didn't know it was "programming", I just used it to make life at school easier. Kind of seems like an Excel moment now, where most people don't know they're "programming".
What does "largely overinflated" mean, and how does it differ from "completely fabricated"?
Clojure is tiny in that there are very few special forms (less than 20 according to [0]) and most things are just plain functions.

More importantly, it is developed extremely conservatively which means

1) you don’t need to learn the syntax/feature of the month (like eg javascript/python)

2) the code you wrote a decade ago will still work.

That said, it does sit on top of Java/JS so you can access those parts easily if you need to.

That makes no fucking sense.
I had similar at 16 and took 10 years to process it but it was there for a lot longer.

However, 30 years later I have understood it and am very full and compete due to this process.

I think what is scary is that it takes us from unknowing children into fearful adults without the skills to self reflect in a way that we can heal ourselves.

High quality therapy with a sound and grounded therapist really helped me. Beyond words actually.

It is easy to blame the trip but it isn’t the trip. We can alter ourselves, or the way we react to things.

Hope you make some progress.
Socks with a high percentage of wool are amazing if you've got even remotely sweaty feet. You can be having a complete swamp in your shoes and still have warm feet.
I think people who facilitate the sale of community destroying hard drugs deserve punishment, but this trial was a farce. The media ran ceaseless stories making it sound like he was selling guns to terrorists and child abuse material. There's no way he could have been fairly judged by a jury with how prevalent that type of reporting was.
The word is diurnal storage, and it provides this for the same 2 GW it provides week long storage for.

It can diurnally cycle around 7% of australia's electricity production, it can provide several days power (about 5) at times when the dams are slightly lower (ie. The only time it is needed) and has the capability to provide a week of power (at the same 7%) if circumstances are not par for the course. It can regenerate any water it needs to expel in such a situation in a few weeks using Tumut 2's regular output. Only in conditions of severe drought does its capacity stay down at the 240GWh range.

Anyone with the ability to use arithmetic and basic logic can infer this from the diagram you linked.

Also there is plenty of precedent for something called a battery where using the full nameplate capacity has a high cost and is not easily reversible. It's called a lead acid battery and was one of the most common chemistries for the better part of a century

I did. I bought the token of a decentralised exchange (gainsnetwork.io if you're interested) after the LUNA crash, it went up a lot and is still holding strong, as the narrative shifts away from centralised to decentralised exchanges due to the FTX crash. It also pays nice dividends from users' trading fees.

But yes, with pretty much everything else I ever did in crypto I just lost money.
I imagine a lot of middle class people are benefiting from the … software engineer middle class cashflow. Your logic is a bit like wanting to make the middle class poorer because its driving prices up and the lower class cant afford things. Then of course the lower class should earn less because the unemployed and homeless cant afford things.

Computer science is hard. Why would someone spend their whole life studying, being sucked into a world of machines, sacrificing social life and friendships to be immersed in a job that doesnt pay well? High end software isnt about maintaining a website after getting a pdf certification from a boot camp. Its real complex and difficult.
Yea, I thought so as well and was immediately terrified about their safety.

JPEG XL is dead, that's what it is after latest Chromium statement. I wished we could just finally move from JPEG to something more efficient, I don't even care what it is because pretty much ANYTHING is better, I would be fine even with old WebP if it was widely supported by phone cameras and apps natively and in consumer electronics, but still 10 years later most of the apps keep taking photos to JPEG. Well at least with video there is progress and no recent device has problem to work with X265 whether it's my mobile or TV.
Wow. I have seldom experienced such revulsion as I did reading about these people. Skin-crawling. Ugh.

As I'm currently fighting with css3/paged media[pm] - I've recently tried to figure it out.

Theres a rather comprehensive list at: https://www.print-css.rocks/tools

As far as Foss tools go, I've only found paged.js (a polyfyll) in combination with a browser print-to-pdf (eg wkhtmltoodf (webkit) or puppeteer (chrome)) that has any semblance of css support.

There's also ghostscript - but AFAIK it doesn't support much/any css3 for print.

They exist. Shamans work with different spirits and even have names for ones they work with.

I was skeptical in the beginning but it's a different reality. Just because we can't normally see them doesn't mean they don't exist.

I don't see spirits most times I drink, but I once had a gecko-like plant spirit climbing all over me... I often see beautiful patterns and landscapes.

It's an amazing medicine. It cured my depression and my daily panic attacks. It wasn't easy, and I even packed my bags a few times to leave, but if it wasn't for ayahuasca I wouldn't be alive.

I can but:

- in-app purchases come with more disadvantages than a one-time purchase (harder to implement, more UI and explaining needed, restoring purchases is a confusing thing)
- I don't want ads in my products
- there's not much functionality to limit, since the apps are very focused on a single thing
- App Store reviewers don't approve apps that limit functionality too much

The App Store way of doing this is with an additional $0 in-app purchase named "7-day Trial", but I tried it and it creates an incredibly confusing experience for users.
Whatever works for you and makes you relaxed whether it's alcohol, drugs or anything else.

I'd rather look for cause of anxiety, I mean if you are financially independent and you don't need the job you ara applying for, you don't need to worry about outcome at all and should be relaxed anyway because who gives a F whether they hire you or no. But I understand sometimes rational approach doesn't work, even when nothing is at stake body can be nervous.

I'm worrier and still ocassionally worry about meaningless things, but I think I improved over years, though not sure how, I think living in China for years hardened my skin considering how many times they try to F me over, so I am more relaxed in general.
I've took on a shitty job recently (which I've since quit) and there were a lot of 40-50-60 y.o men working the said crap job. Some 75% of them are watching Tiktoks during breaks, which I've never seen with Youtube/Insta. You can think of "keeping up with the Joneseses" as a disease or something negative (which I do personally), but it's what a looot of people want to do and live like.
During my short stint in academia, I once addressed our room full of students with something like "Our role here is not to teach you; it's to provide you with the best context in which you can learn." I have often wondered where that philosophy came from, and I an very happy to have an idea now.
The FBI accepted that multiple people were behind the DreadPirateRoberts account and that the writing style did not match his. He was ultimately not charged with it, but the story was used to slander him and make him seem dangerous and violent.
It objectively compares his sentence of 2 lifetimes + 40 years to the sentences of the biggest actual drug dealers on silk road, as well as the founders of the bigger silk road 2.0, all of whom got less than 10 years. I would consider that to be satisfactory actual fact utilization.
Your personal data is of no value (unless you are of high-profile 0.01% of people).

However, the data of your city, state, country, gender, race is very valuable because then, for example, companies/government/foreign actors can know exactly what is this town, state, country, gender, race is thinking about any given topic. This is enormous value and this is why companies like Cambridge Analytica are so profitable.
Johnson resigned in, somewhat, disgrace, brought about Brexit and ruined the British Economy. Trump was voted out, cost the GOP the Senate twice, mighy be indicted and risks loosing his privtae wealth. Putin started a pointless war, which he is loosing, and ruined Russia global standing, military and economy. Not sure if any of that is actual success.
The truth is, Twitter was a liberal propaganda machine that focused on
deplatforming anyone not far-left enough, while allowing CSAM to
flourish on its service.

How did you keep a straight face while typing that?
Bullshit. Journals select for novelty, this is true. But this is novelty in a trifling fashion, like teaching a dog to roll over. The entire system, at least in the UK is set up to actively discourage risky research entirely. Doing something truly new is discouraged unless you are truly a senior or leader. By then, you've probably lost most of your imagination anyway.
It's likely he wamted to have some say in which 75%. I doubt he planned to axe entire teams that were critical to running the company all at once.

By whom, Musk?

Because while particular actions he's taken in the past few weeks may be justifiable in certain contexts, all of them taken together can only be interpreted as an attempt to set 44 billion dollars on fire.
This is completely false. Modern Nvidia cards on linux can barely get pixels on the screen and does not have power saving modes.
Well he could have been quiet and dignified about the entire thing but he decided to whip up a carnival atmosphere and turn it into a public execution. I'd have got the hell out of there too, I don't blame them.

Getting nauseous often happens in association with a recollection / reliving of something, or in relationship to the sluggishness / cotton-numbness of depressive states or negative ideation. After purging - immediate relief, clarity, shift of thinking process, vitality, presence.

Not sure about “seeking” it though - it’s mostly spontaneous. You get sick and purge.
Isn't Instagram also social media? Or why do I keep hearing influencers being there? Isn't that one of the features of social media?
This seems pretty much just variation of advice for people afraid of audience to imagine them naked or otherwise humiliated/funny.
And then you look at how Zuckerberg is handling his lay off by being so humanly well with all the packages, bonuses, process and the support teams even more for a massive lay off and how all this is going to cost that you wonder if we really knew who they really are.
Interestingly enough, it turns out that Twitter never really built a DR system for performance ads, hence why the brands pulling out can crater their revenue.
