> They should have stored the funds to weather through the storm right now instead of slashing jobs and hindering company's growth!

This makes no sense. The whole reason DoorDash is cutting jobs is because, like pretty much everyone else cutting, they originally hired a lot to maximize growth potential during the environment that existed last year. That environment turned out to be temporary, so now they are laying people off because they fundamentally can't support a workforce that size in today's environment.

No company wants to be overstaffed (and, honestly, working at an overstaffed company sucks) if they don't think there will be a quick ramp up in business to give those people something to do.

You really should try reading a bit of history and looking a little further afield than your own back yard.
It's technically inaccurate but probably fundamentally fair to say that "Bedrock" is the closed version and "Java" is the open one.

Well, I bet that people who invest enormous effort into actually capturing photos tend to be irritated by people who made collage and present it as areal.

Will the company keep you for 25 more years? If not, I imagine finding a job in your 40s or 50s will be quite a bit more difficult than it was in your 20s.

Where you shed away all strong emotion in
exchange for a consistent tranquility

Once our life decisions affect somebody besides ourselves, it's just so f'ing hard to live freely and fully.

I would like to add something original instead:
the act of selling out, and shifting one's focus
towards money is an irreversible change in one's soul.

Part of it is getting older, particularly in a country without universal health care. My wife has a lot of medical conditions and I essentially have to restrict myself to jobs with good pay and benefits. It's absolutely soul-deadening, but the alternative is unclear.

Even without partners and dependents to consider, a lot of basic capitalist "facts" push us toward this stultified complacency. We need places to live. To be a renter is to subject one's self to all kinds of... crap. Owning a home is marginally better in many ways for many people so many of us are incentivized to chase that, but for most people this means chasing a certain amount of money and committing to a mortgage. There are alternatives (van living?) but they're compromised or impractical for many people in various ways.
"Unfortunately, while we successfully developed a viable platform, the need for full global industry collaboration has not been achieved."

So... they successfully built the solution, but then failed to build a suitable problem for it?
> young people were growing up "afraid to ask questions for fear of asking the wrong questions".

This is not a problem young people have, this is a problem old people have.

Young people grew up with social media and are very savvy about segmenting their public persona from their private one. Young people understand intuitively that asking an edgy question on your public persona is an act of edginess in itself.

If you want to know why, the answer is that technology has weaponized the concept of push polling to its extreme (now “concern trolling” and such). As such it’s become difficult to distinguish legitimate discourse from bad-faith concern trolling. Young people understand this easily.

Older people on the other hand I’ve seen struggle with these concepts.

Regarding publishing and self-censorship in literature I can’t comment; most people aren’t publishing literature and I’m among the majority so I have no experience with that.

I'd say it's a not-inaccurate summation to say "Bedrock" is the closed one (e.g. for consoles) and "Java" is the open one.
Yes, you've gotten exactly to the heart of what I was trying to say. Of course there are people who get unfairly maligned for saying the "wrong" thing (or when the things they say have been taken out of context).

But people pushing back on what someone says is a normal, healthy part of discourse and it absolutely should scale with the power and influence of the person voicing that opinion (Kanye is the perfect example).

“ studies suggest that public health interventions could aim at preventing children from becoming the target of bullying behaviours from an early age.”

Sounds almost like victim blaming. If true, if there’s something about the bullied that causes them to be bullied, perhaps bullying is actually a form of social correction. Not that nature should be our guide, but often harsh social behavior is functional from an evolutionary standpoint. That said,

I'll strongly opposed that notion. I've been an avid subscriber for just under 10 years, so not as long but long enough. I do truly believe that in the last 1-2 years the "market-based, socially progressive, pragmatic international strongly opinionated journalism" has taken a back seat to fence-hopping, evidence-lacking, low quality articles that I normally see in the Times or the Telegraph.

I've got racks of magazines saved from those 10 years. Flicking back through now and comparing their critique on the EU say, versus 7 years ago, is like chalk and cheese. I'm not sure whether it was Brexit, Trumpism, the new wave of journalism from Vice/Buzzfeed and the like, or journalism's growing obsession with Twitter that caused this strange shift in writing style and substance, but I can physically see the disparity before my eyes now; hence the original post.

I'd doubt my opinion on the matter if, like you rightly put, my viewpoint could be seen shifted over time. But I still read and enjoy the same suite of news and articles that I always have in every other case. I'm not looking for a replacement to them. The Economist is an exception in my case, not the norm. If it was generic declinism, I'd be seeing fault in all of my inputs. As it stands, I'm only seeing it in the Economist. Perhaps it's because it's the one I'm so intimately familiar with. Equally, it's possible that the quality has changed. Maybe there's a good chance you're unable to see it because you've changed in tandem with the magazine, not kept to your own path.
Actually, we can know. There's a capture of the page from the day before (the 26th): https://web.archive.org/web/20221126060502/https://kittiyapa...

It does not contain that disclaimer. So, unless it was moved from another part of the website, there was no disclaimer before the article was published.
I still don't understand the loss. The original data that was going into the zip was still there. Or did you the write pipeline delete it at the end of something?

More precisely, what data was lost, and how did it get lost?
> the cops are somewhere between understaffed and simply pouting and not doing their job unless it's exciting

so are you pro-worker or not (I suspect you are pro-worker), cause it sounds like you're hashing out anti-worker rhetoric against your enemies

I hear this all the time from ppl, it's this automatic talking point that cops don't do their job, so we should just push dangerous slogans like defund - when cops are desperately needed in actually dangerous neighborhoods. It's a very privileged sentiment.
It's ok if we kill a hundred thousand Iraqis, we just have to use bullets to do it.
Yup, I've started to really appreciate the pay-to-not-be-the-product business model in general. Kagi is great, the easy domain blocking feature alone is worth the $10 per month. The results in general are also good. They do suffer somewhat from the same SEO optimization problem as Google, where auto-generated crap turns up in search results, but once you block the majority of those domains the search results I get are very good.
I kind of get this too. Had to change because burnout became a real thing. I changed up the music i was listening too. And now with more fast tempo techno music for me i find the energy levels i want to reach are helped with the music but without the fatigue from focusing on the anger too much.

You're not wrong re vim. :-)

Definitely use whatever you like, but just like vim bindings, which look "omg wtf" to newbies but then become "cannot live without" once you learn them, once you learn the Tachyons-style abbreviations, I/we find that they fade into the background/become 2nd nature, and the succinctness ROI is worth it.

"When all you have is a hammer..."

The problem doesn't seem to me like one that can be or should be solved (primarily) by turning the amount-of-moderation knob in one direction or the other.

I think that the philosophical basis of free speech, in the version I personally prefer and believe to have enabled the formation of Western liberalism, is the idea that society will be better off if more people are exposed to more different viewpoints. Translated into prescriptions for action, this means that you ought to minimise censorship of speech that will expose more people to viewpoints they have not encountered yet, but actually ought to censor speech that aims to prevent people from being exposed to certain viewpoints (or at least work to limit its impact; the viewpoint that you should prevent people from being exposed to certain viewpoint is also a valid viewpoint that more people ought to be exposed to ceteris paribus, but if you have to trade off between censoring the one idea saying that you should censor dangerous ideas and 100 ideas that proliferation of the one idea would result in being censored as dangerous, then the latter win by numbers).

"No censorship!" is a gloss of free speech that is catchy, but only really functions as a shorthand for the above version of it when addressed to people who already have the right mindset. An increasing number of people nowadays don't, as they are more driven by fear (of others, of uncomfortable ideas, and perhaps of themselves if they were to be exposed to those ideas) than intellectual curiosity, and this is the actual problem that we ought to be solving rather than just contemplating where to bring down the hammer of moderation.
I think parents point is more about that there is nothing making JavaScript (the language nor the runtime) intrinsically slow, but rather the DOM that makes it so the perception of JavaScript is that the language/runtime is slow.

When people bitch about that JS is so bloated and slow, it's usually because of things interacting with the DOM and everything related to it, or just slow network connections. But then people take out their frustrations on the language instead.
Thinking Fast and Slow to me was a manual to a human mind.

Yes. This is for big corporations who absolutely must not use shared/co-hosted/non-dedicated hardware, but don't want to maintain the thing themselves.

We had several such customers at my previous startup; one of them was a bank, another was a popular household name, neither of which so much as blinked when we quoted a price much higher than what they could get otherwise if they only shopped for the cheapest option.

GM’s Cruise Seeks Regulatory OK to Test Shuttle with No Steering Wheel
I just call my orders in and pick up now. The prices in-restaurant aren't even close to what is on door dash and the likes menus anymore, it's gotten ridiculous. Then there's all the fees and tips added on top. If it's just myself ordering (which it usually is, if I'm with friends we actually just go out to eat!), the overhead on a single-person order is around 40%. I hate all these online platforms now, it feels like a constant ripoff, like Airbnb and all the cleaning fees..
It is! I didn't realize the song was that old. 1991!
None on their search engine. The claim is likely specious.
Thank you, of course I answered Vatican as a joke but I genuinely didn't know SCV stood for Silicon Valley, even if it should have been obvious, if I had thought about it some more.
I get it.. mid-40s, married with one kid. I've worked at a bunch of startups since 2000. I am currently in my second stint in a public company. I've been at my current job 8 years now. The first 3 was when we were a private startup. 5 years ago we were acquired. This is a really long stint for me, my previous long one was 6 years but there were a fair # of 2 year stints and also I did 2 one year stints at startups that were not a good match for me.

The thing is:

- The job remains more interesting than a lot of the stuff recruiters contact me about. Some of this is the space I'm in, and most recruiters are trying to recruit out of that space, not a sideways move into a similar company.

- My TC is off the charts compared to what it was now that stock started vesting. I have to explain to recruiters their sweetheart deal would likely be a $100k+ pay cut unless my current employer tanks, simply because I sell a decent chunk of stock every year at my FA's recommendation.

- Basically over time the upside for startups has gotten more and more skewed towards the institutional investors with engineers being the absolute bottom of the totem pole. Taking a pay cut to do that feels like a HUGE gamble now because I have never had an upside for an exit that equal what I sold in RSUs last year at the public company.

- Current work/life balance is excellent.

- 60% remote, no real pressure to go in any more and no real trouble if I need to work less than 40% in office in a given week. (I like going in though.)

- Office is close to home, minimal commute, company/office culture is good

- Current company is foundational and has been very very long term stable with mature/conservative management.

So yes, not sure what's going to happen, but I don't even have to ride this that long to possibly retire early as I've been living well below my means for a long time now, I'm not a "show off money" person at all. If things are bad in my mid-50s it's almost not going to matter because retirement will become an option if I can stay on this path. If things go south and age discrimination becomes an issue I'd easily be able to go start a side project to try and create income and be in a semi-retired mode in my 50s.
It does.

A few years back a non-native English speaker presented an Erlang library called `coon` because he like this abbreviation of the word `raccoon`. [1]

The shitstorm from Americans (US and Canada) was unbelievable. Even though:

- most people on the mailing list where this was discussed never heard it used as a slur

- people in the states where this word was purportedly still used as a slur never heard it used

- several black people (both African Americans IIRC and a guy from South Africa) said they had no problems with the name (and promptly ignored)

The name of the library was changed.

Now. The question is: who decides it is a slur especially in our global world? Somehow, increasingly, it's the white Americans who end up being offended on everyone's behalf.

People go to work sick because their job doesn’t give them sick days. Or because they want a promotion and figure perfect attend next is how to get it. I don’t think it’s reasonable to stop people from coming to work sick unfortunately.
I used to run a consultancy that developed software and managed IT. We benefitted greatly from having private offices (1-2 people) combined with common areas for impromptu discussions. Our signal for do-not-disturb was a closed door.

I have since visited many trendy open floor plan offices and I think they are ridiculous. There is no way to focus and create value.

If an organization cannot afford private offices, it is probably not creating much value. If it can afford private offices and chooses to put everyone within earshot of each other, it is leaving productivity improvement on the table.
I don't look angry when focusing at the computer, instead I just look miserable! You know how the corners of your mouth are turned down (looking miserable) and you simply forget how you look (even if you are peforming a pleasant task).

I have to consciously turn up my mouth corners ever so slightly, relax my facial expression. It's not about turning into a fake smile. It can be a subtle change, but you immediately will spot change in your facial expression. And others (including strangers) will spot it too.

Look in the mirror at your natural expression and try the tiniest change to your expression. You'll immediately spot the change to you expression.
Libraries exist with a well defined compiler. The solution is at the compiler level, using information coming from the import graph that exists in languages with a module system.

And I'm not sure how you can forget to import a library and still expect to use it, assuming your language has a module system.

C and C++ can't solve this problem, of course, due to textual inclusion.
Do they have the facts wrong?
There's another issue at play here.

Nobody makes money from making SVGO faster.

Your customers don't run SVGO and only care about the performance of the output. Devs care, but not enough to do anything about it. Companies care about dev productivity, but the cost of the hours to run through the profiler isn't something they are willing to pay for.

And finally, there aren't enough maintainers/contributors to these projects. The core team is some volunteers. When they have spare time for the project, it's almost always going to be used to keep up with web standards, add missing features, or chase down bugs that impact the final output. They know performance matters, but thers's always something more important to do instead.
The key thing is that your frustration doesn’t entitle you to anything.

The best thing to do is to contact the maintainer first before you do the work. Saves a lot of frustration. But I feel that people don’t want to hear no and need an excuse to do the work anyway because they like doing it.

The ‘no’ that eventually is / will be communicated shattered the illusion that they are helpful/contributing.

For me the whole “no” topic is all about setting personal boundaries. Maintainers have to deal with the same drama as mostly women face when dealing with unwanted attention.

But to me it’s 100% this ingrain sense of mostly men feeling so entitled to basically anything is so toxic.

“No” is a perfect antidote to that toxicity.

Picking Flowers, Making Honey
I had a private office in the 1990s and early 2000s. It was a great benefit, one could close the door to indicate you were thinking and then open the door to show you were up for talking. You could also start to work in a note book or reading code printout or something, and leave it in a pile and then get inspired a week later and pick it up again where you left off. I was at a company that had a lot of innovation and years of doubling times of three months. I would go in more if I had an office. Also if I had some influence over the thermostat, and what I consider descent coffee (that at least has gotten better even as they strip all dignity away from the working space). I didn’t read TFA. I also, Gen Z is underrated. Y’all work plenty hard, just less stupidly and less for empty tokens of virtue, but given intrinsically interesting work, and wow.
For me the worst part of that is progressing destruction of trust.

People keep running into things like that all the time, for me previous case was being assigned a completely fake quote in some local news website (luckily, they had neither my name nor photo).

If someone is unsure why some people claim that global warming is fake, smog is not harmful and so on - that is because we have far too many lies and people willing to defend clear liars.

As result many people flail looking for trustworthy data source. And typically end with even worse, but for many distinction was not clear.
They built something and turns out that no one wants to use it. Happens all the time.
