I agree with some of the complaints mentioned here. The biggest hurdle to joining Mastodon is deciding which server you actually want to join, which has a big impact on your experience and isn't (and probably can't be) clear to a new user. I'm not sure what they can really do for a better onboarding experience. Perhaps one of those "pick which topic most interests you" wizards, which then will give a user a list of servers that have identified themselves as catering towards those types of users. Even then, I don't think this will really help things, and will probably just drive traffic to the biggest servers.

As for some of his other issues, I've been pleased to see that de-centralization hasn't happened largely, as there's been a large number of new servers popping up. I thought as well that Twitter exiles would likely congregate to a few large servers, but I've seen a pretty diverse listing of servers in my own feeds.

> Your handle on Mastodon is more complicated than on Twitter, because you need to name your server also.

I actually like this, it gives a sense of what types of topics the user is interested in, and what their profile is likely to focus on.

>I always dislike this line of argument, it feels unproductive.

Even if you believe these kind of conferences are productive; why couldn't they have organised it virtually over Zoom/Skype/etc.? If ever there was a chance to 'lead by example' COP27 [and previous COPs] were a golden opportunity. But, instead it was the same old same old; lots of rich political and industry leaders and their hangers-on, flying off into the sun in their private jets, for a cozy get-together. And then emerging aterwards to tell the rest of us to try harder.

I'm really not confident about copper pipes. Metals in solder are very different electrochemically than copper. There might be other electrically connected metals in the installation. There might be some impurities grains in the copper.

I've seen videos of copper pipes developing pinhole leak from corrision.

I always used aluPEX for doing the piping.
> Furthermore, long-term achievement of diabetes remission, adherence to the diet, and weight loss maintenance after the diet remain a challenge. Studies have also suggested that physiological and metabolic adaptation of the body in response to caloric restriction may shift energy balance and hormonal regulation of weight toward weight regain after weight loss [67,68]. Thus, it is crucial that future studies are directed towards assessing the long-term sustainability of diabetes remission led by LCD and feasibility of this diet on the physiological adaptation and body composition changes.

The basic problem, which has been unchanged for decades, is that hardly anyone actually follows the "proper" diet on a long-term basis without some kind of surgical or drug treatment. Despite weight loss being a massive industry and a very common goal, researchers routinely struggle to find study subjects who have maintained significant long-term weight loss without medical interventions, to the point that there's a special registry to keep track of such people for scientific purposes [1].

Read my comment again. I specifically said "a very vocal subset".

As someone who genuinely supports free speech, you should have a real problem with the troll army. Instead you immediately leapt to "well they weren't successful this time, so all is well". Harassment doesn't always have to result in an outright ban to still have a chilling effect.
Yes, exactly. I was using this for zero-copy serialization into a buffer. At the time, I don’t believe that API had been stabilized yet.

That's what I thought based on what I've read so far, thanks for confirming.

Unless and until that's fixed, if I finally see enough value in joining Mastodon, I will have to do so using my own server where I have full access to all my content.
I also want this. We're renting in UK countryside with big enough garden to grow vegetables and have a happy toddler running around but we're a very long way off being able to buy land and build what we want here. It feels like there must be so many of us wanting to live this life but barred from it by our petty planning laws.

"sufficiently solid reason to fire you." is the important piece.

As a person, who at one point had to deal with suddenly doing everything wrong, I cannot stress the importance of logging everything you do to ensure you have a leg to stand on if it comes to actual confrontation over unemployment benefits, which under current system in US, one may not be eligible for if the employer proves it was for a 'good' cause. For example, employee did not want to drink with me; is, likely, not a good cause, while 'he is unable to complete basic requests by deadline x' is.

And I do mean log every deliverable, conversation and so on. Memories fade and perceptions vary and your notes will be taken into account should it come to actual confrontation with employer. I was frankly spending more time documenting than a reasonable person should. It was sheer luck that things just kinda worked out and it did not get to that stage.
Thank you for you reply! I am already waiting for the paperwork (the process is a bit slow over here..) so I can be 100% legit and be good to go. I was just too eager to launch it, plus I thought it would be cool to make it to Black Friday :)

Are the alternatives still plentiful? I'm not sure that's true even now, and I doubt even moreso that will be true in the coming months.
If JP/SK/US did decide on military action against North Korea, I would expect China to stand back, close their border, and do nothing but make loud protest noises. They're not keen on sharing a border with a US client state. They're also not keen on a rogue North Korea with nukes.

The main issue is that, even without nuclear weapons, North Korea has enough conventional arms, including chemical weapons, to cause horrific damage to South Korea. Seoul's entire urban area is within artillery range of the DMZ. I've seen estimates of varying credibility but most experts speak of hundreds of thousands of deaths on the first day of shelling, if a full-scale war broke out on the Korean peninsula.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it is not just audio spectral features used, though I can't find a citation either way. (I am sure because the language distinctions make clear that we are at least making heavy use of metadata if not actual social patterns in listening, but the latter is explicitly heavily used elsewhere on the site, so...)

Also, if we're being exact, it's the work of Glenn McDonald under the auspices the Echo Nest, which is now owned by Spotify, but it isn't the be-all-end-all of how Spotify models genres under the hood.

What I was curious about is how /u/beezlebroxxxxxx perceived it to do at the metal genres, simply because Glenn McDonald is himself a metal genre fan (https://www.furia.com/), so I'd've expected that to work decently well.

Had this been the British parliament I would have said "hear, hear" but since it is not I can but vote this up and as that this polarisation better stop and be reversed soon if you U.S. of Americans want to remain one country, under whatever deity you prefer if one. The sheer hatred coming from the self-proclaimed "good" side towards the "red" side is as destructive as can be, the disdain for the "blue" side coming from the "red" is almost as - but not quite as - bad. Musk buying Twitter may be a step in the right direction if he manages to make the platform open for more than just "blue" narratives but he better not turn it into one for "red" narratives if he is to succeed.

Find a job where no one expects you to drink. Simple.

Drinking is culturally dominant in Europe but what's also culturally dominant is that drinking shouldn't be forced. And many companies follow this rule from a cultural standpoint.

There are many teams that have fun and allow employees to not join in on the fun. BUT there are teams where this is sort of expected. For you: join the former team not the later and have empathy to see why the later team exists.

Many companies are looking for a team with synergy which is more then just coming in, doing the work, and leaving. If you don't have this synergy, don't join. Join the company that works for you.
Does a Vec<u8> with that calculation listed end up smaller than two integers of (presumably) arbitrary length?

When I read about the problem, I imagined using the mediant to calculate “between”. I think that mediant of $value and 1/1 would work for “after” and mediant of $value and 0/1 would work for “before”.

There must be a requirement I’m missing, though!

Which means you have massive delays between stops, and can’t do much if you don’t have hours available.

Then go work somewhere else.

It's BS. It's entirely about political and ideological hate. Who do you think are you going to fool? Amazon poorly treeting warehouse workers and swe alikes didn't create nearly fraction as much hate and no one cried when Bezos was buying WaPo.

Worst case Musk will run Twitter to the ground and people there will find work elsewhere. So why all the hate?
Because the video was not faked. There are statements under oath that the video was not faked. The underlying footage shows that it was not faked. Subsequent videos which address complaints of transparency and clarity show they are committed to proving the videos are not faked.

The only official Tesla statements on the matter are a cease-and-desist claiming that the videos were faked threatening immediate legal action for defamation if the videos were not taken down that they delivered over three months ago [1]. In the mean time even more videos were released, more ads were run, more public statements were made, and direct challenges to Tesla were made, but Tesla has not followed up with further cease-and-desist letters or followed through on their baseless legal threats. Given their traditionally litigious nature, there is no reason for them not to follow through even if they could not prove all prongs of a defamation case since with discovery it would be trivial to prove publicly in a court of law that the videos were faked if they were, in fact, faked. Their reluctance to do so is strong evidence that even Elon and his lawyers think a lawsuit would reveal truths they would much prefer silenced and buried.

> Cubik Partners also said Mr T was difficult to work with and a poor listener.

This is of course a great and somewhat obvious conclusion. Though the cynic in me thinks that Cubik Partners has simply learned they need to have other official reasons for firing people that fail to participate in the 'fun' in the future.
You’ve never worked for “that guy”? Because I have, several times. Some people get stupid when the checkbook comes out. In fact that’s a well known ploy by large effective companies. You can get misbehaving vendors to pay attention to you if you get out the checkbook or threaten to put it away.
Wait, how long are people expected to be on 600-1100 kcal/day? Just for a little worse than a coin flip? That sounds really miserable. Isn't that basically a crash diet and no one stfus about not doing those because they can mess you up long term?

I'm really confused how T2D are special such that crash dieting doesn't mess them up further and put them further in a hole. They're already messed up because of the T2D, aren't they?
I am no money master but I’ll take a shallow stab at it.

Triffin explains the trade deficit perfectly. I’ll quote from Wikipedia:

“…that the country whose currency, being the global reserve currency, foreign nations wish to hold, must be willing to supply the world with an extra supply of its currency to fulfil world demand for these foreign exchange reserves, leading to a trade deficit.”

We basically have to keep feeding the world with dollars. Or at least collateral that can be trusted to be turned into dollars so that banks around the world can create those dollars. How? Create more government debt.

The part about debt to GDP growth is I think exactly that problem of balancing your domestic short term needs vs the long term needs of the currency on a global scale.

When the world is starved for dollars and the dollar becomes stronger this isn’t a measure of US economic strength it’s a measure of how much the system is choked. Less dollars to go around less global trade is able to function less goods and services produced all around.

In a globalized system if one country isn’t able to produce as much (think China), the effects ripple to all countries like dominos. Causing secondary and tertiary effects further down the chain.

What if (the company is okay with it) and people want to start taking shots during the day? Or inviting people to happy hours? Or work talk happens after happy hours because everybody on the team is friends and they happen to talk about work at 2am in the middle of a strip club together?

No shit not everybody will be okay with that. But what if it's a company where that's the stated culture and they want to do that? Where is the line? Should nobody ever be allowed to have a company centered around "work hard play hard" where they enjoy having colleagues they can work with and also have a good relationship with after work?
I think Rust is a lot easier when you already have decent experience with C. In C you have to reason about ownership and lifetimes too, the only difference is it's all implicit. Knowing C also helps you a great deal in the cases where unsafe is either neccessary or just the best solution. Programmers who haven't touched C might be very hesitant to even consider using unsafe.

Other than that, it's been my experience that lifetimes come up very rarely or even never for a large range of programs. But someone coming from Java/C# where almost everything is a reference might struggle more than others because these languages lend themselves to constructing large object graphs that are annoying to do in Rust. You have to take a different approach, keeping object graphiness to a minimum where possible.

>Folks who lean right (and a cohort of centrists) don’t want it

Right wing isn't really that popular in most developed/rich EU countries though. Most of them have quite left leaning population and leaders.

And many of the richer countries want immigration but not publicly admitting it, but do it under the table, due to pressure from business groups and lobbyists, who hope this will aid with the labor shortage (translation for jobs with shitty pay and downward pressure on wages) while also pushing up demand for housing/rents, and demand for consumer goods in the retail sector. All of which benefit the business and ruling elite.

Immigration to UK is at its highest year ever despite Brexit and Covid having thrown wrenches in immigration movements.

Same for continental Europe. Refugees and migrants are coming weekly by the thousands by sea and land, and there's nothing the right wing parties can do about it, as long as migrants can cross the border then claim refugee status and know how to play the refugee game, the host country can't deny them that as it's guaranteed by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), and if they do deny them that right, then the country can be sued and will lose.

So, for that to work, the right wing leaders would have to first get their country out of the ECHR, and then they can deny refugees/migrants.

I think sound is, perhaps counter-intuitively, harder than image.

We are much more forgiving of the poor framing of a Youtube video than traffic noise behind the narration in the same video.

Consider the difference in complexity between composition in painting against composition in music.

Or to put it another way, I suspect convincing visual AI tools are more accessible because it is an easier problem than convincing AI sound.

Good luck.

>I think culture is important.

And I think it shouldn't be. Companies should be about work and professionalism, not culture and other touch feely BS.

At best, a cultural fit that would disqualify one is if they're a pacifict and the company makes weapons, or something similar.

Not if they don't like BS company mandated non-work activities, bro-style interaction, political partisanship forced upon employees, alcohol-fueld bonding, or "we overwork employees 24/7 because they are starry-eyed idiots fresh out of college with no personal life, and you should work like that too", and so on.
This. It's a big reason why stuff like this, wrongful termination suits, etc. have such little recourse. It's not worth it to most people to jeopardize their entire career.

I think it's justifiable for employees to feel some amount of loyalty to the concept of the startup when they join it, since they are inevitably taking a significant amount of risk when joining an early-stage company (growth stage startups will be fine).
