Hi Thanks ! Zigi examines your activity on Jira and GitHub at the same time to understand and notifies you only when there’s something that needs your attention, for example: changes to a Jira status based on PR activity. You can also tailor the notifications based on your role, so team leads can track when a ticket is stuck for more than a certain number of days. Zigi basically personalizes the help that you want to get by looking at all systems at all times.
Would love to see you on Zigi
Quite so, even if a regional dialect. Certainly where Caterpillar operates out of it is common. If we were instead talking about an Australian company that produces barbies then we'd know we're talking about barbecues and not dolls, even where regional dialect only knows Barbie as a doll. Words don't exist in a vacuum. Context is significant.
I've got to think a utilitarian culture would say something like "huh, maybe we should build homes that are easily served by transit." But American culture is much more strongly opposed to this than most those in most other countries.
Dear Floofernistas,

This is the hardest thing I have ever done. The market changed - I thought we would make more money, now I think we will make less money. Therefore we have discovered that we don't need all of you.

If you aren't needed, here is some money. I hope this is enough money that the internet isn't too mad at me.

Remaining Floofernistas, please be kind to the ex-Floofernistas, and help them.

Again, I am sad.

Goodbye

So, what is this person's idea of beauty? Ancient Greek/Roman architecture? French Second Empire style? Art Nouveau? People appreciate modern design because it's clean and simple, not gaudy or fussy.

BBS meetups weren't really like that. You had young/old mismatched people who could communicate because life wasn't online back then.
Zellij instead of tmux (not necessarily better, but it's easier to use)

Xonsh instead of bash (because you already know Python, why learn a new horrible language?)

bat instead of cat (syntax highlights and other nice things)

exa instead of ls (just nicer)

neovim instead of vim (just better)

helix instead of neovim (just tested it, seems promising though)

nix instead of your normal package manager (it works on Mac, and essentially every Linux dist. And it's got superpowers with devshells and home-manager to bring your configuration with you everywhere)

rmtrash instead of rm (because you haven't configured btrfs snapshots yet)

starship instead of your current prompt (is fast and displays a lot of useful information in a compact way, very customizable)

mcfly instead of your current ctrl+r (search history in a nice ncurses tui)

dogdns instead of dig (nicer colors, doesn't display useless information)

amp, kakoune (more alternative text editors)

ripgrep instead of grep (it's just better yo)

htop instead of top (displays stuff nicer)

gitui/lazygit instead of git cli (at least for staging, nice with file, hunk and line staging when you have ADHD)

gron + ripgrep instead of jq when searching through JSON in the shell (so much easier)

keychain instead of ssh-agent (better cli imo)

As far as I understand it, gravitational lensing would affect the trajectory of particles travelling different speeds differently. So it would seem entirely possible that the matter wouldn't even be pointed at us. That assumes that either is being significantly affected by gravity of course.

Also bear in mind that though the light of 1000 trillion suns has been pointed at us, it's not like we have a second sun in the sky right now. It's really, really far away.
>the car-subway they built in Vegas

I was recently there.

How insanely hilarious to me that they did all this work... And still use drivers and not automation. It's a loop. If they can't self-drive that with all their own vehicles everywhere, then it's not really coming to actual roads for a LONG time.
I flew on a 747 only once, a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Denver back in 2006 (returning to the US after being stationed in Germany for 3 years). Absolutely huge.

I only fly domestically nowadays. Rarely do I end up on anything bigger than a 737.
That's a fine, valid rationalization.

But I would disagree with one aspect: part of it is that they like it. We don't have fine taste anymore and we don't have a desire to impress in a classical way. It used to be you would recite a Latin phrase at dinner and everyone would be impressed. Those days are gone.

When money is king, everything else is demoted.
There's this config you might like: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim

We can't invert the bindings though (wd -> dw) because that would require a big internal change to add operator pending mode:

When you press `d` in vim, that enters the operator pending mode, where it will wait for an object to be specified, in this case `w` and then delete it.

In a selection first model, `d` is very simple: it just always deletes the selection. So you select a word, then delete.
I don't think "referendum" is a good way to think about it. A referendum has a winner and a loser, and the question is considered at least somewhat settled.

It's more like an opinion poll. And it's true that this "poll" reflects as much on national issues as the candidates themselves. But this poll tells us only what we already knew: that Trump's "zombie grasp" is still pretty strong. Not quite strong enough to win a race in which a truly terrible candidate faced a well-liked one, but still just a few percentage points apart.

So despite the loss, I don't think it represents any diminishment of the force of that movement. Which goes far, far beyond Trump himself, and will continue even if he bows out of it. It's a powerful political force that gives a lot of Americans what they want. Not every politician can use it skillfully, but quite a few are taking notes and waiting their turn.
A small correction to your correction: The letter 'ǌ' is actually a single character in the Croatian/Slovenian and Latinized Serbian/Montenegrin/Bosnian alphabets (go ahead and select it with your cursor!), as are the letters 'ǉ' and 'ǆ'.

While they are certainly digraphs, they are regarded as a single letter and not a 2-character sequence. They have their own sound, sort order, Unicode designation, and written orthography. For example, on advertising where a word is written vertically, 'ǉ' will not be separated vertically, and a hyphen never separates the 'l' from the 'j'.

However, since the letters 'n' and 'j' already exist on a keyboard, it's easier in this electronic era for people to type the letters separately instead of hunting for the 'ǌ' key, so the presence that you see of two character sequences to represent those letters is a consequence of the compromise of modern electronics and expediency, not innate to the alphabet itself.

TL;DR: Each letter in Serbian Cyrillic maps 1:1 to a single letter in Gaj's Latin alphabet, as each alphabet was specifically designed such that each character represents exactly one phoneme.
I have a simpler algorithm. I ask three questions:

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you are not going to be a close friend. Everybody else is welcome.
Litestream/LiteFS author here. I agree that "cloud" is a bit ambiguous but Go & SQLite are quite powerful together and I don't think it's only for beginners. Both are fast and have low overhead. In addition to lower cost versus RDS, there's near-zero query latency which eliminates a lot of performance problems. You can comfortably run tens or hundreds of requests per second on minimal hardware (e.g. 256MB or 512MB instances). There's a lot of room for scaling up before you hit a performance ceiling.
The semiconductor industry is somewhat special in that it requires nearly constant investment in not just R&D but also in upgrading existing fabs to keep up with the cutting edge. And these are well into the billions of dollars.

This is not a problem for players who have dropped out of the race like GloFlo. But its definitely the case for TSMC, Intel and Samsung. Your last three serious players who aren't working for the PRC.

Hello! I am a self taught software engineer who is looking to break into the software industry. My background is in bioengineering but I noticed a technical knowledge gap in the industry so I decided to learn how to code and help bridge the gap. I am eager to learn and apply my newfound skills to a variety of problems. Please feel free to email me with any questions/leads to jobs! Thank you
I've never been a part of something like this where the effected had not already heard about it from their direct manager prior to the official public conversations. Granted it might have only been a couple hours, but they've had some time and privacy to digest the reality ahead of the townhall style discussions & the email blast from the CEO. I'm sure it happens and there are plenty of reasons for it, but I've always seen it go down in a more humane/private way for the individuals. From outside, it's never easy to tell how it went down on the inside.
I stand corrected.

Still, "herbicide" is a more specific and accurate description of Roundup.

Usually this means your property grew in value faster than the rest of the city so you now pay for a higher total percentage of the cities budget. This has happened to me too.

Roughly speaking if the mill rate falls from 1.0% to 0.9% but your property went from $1 million to $1.2 million you now pay $10,800 instead of $10,000. But the rise in property prices still caused the mill rate to go down.
It’s the silly cutsey name they give to themselves, like metamates or googlers. So it makes sense to consider them “part of the family” until the end
Who are you to determine that using 1kWh for an evening of TV and 500Wh baking a potato is more essential than me using 70Wh cooking my potato in a microwave and 20Wh reading a book while looking at some nice christmas lights.

If we want to ration electric use, increase the costs. Add say 50c/kWh, and let people determine what they want to reduce.

If we want to ensure people can still use an essential amount, say 10kWh a day or whatever, give everyone €150 a month to pay the extra costs, funded from the extra costs of those choosing to run incandescent light bulbs.

In the UK we did the complete opposite, we chose to subsidise electric consumption.
> A overly critical inner life can interpret it as “I like you as long as you are useful”

That's me after most praise: "you say you like me because the stuff I can do will help you, or because you have some unstated aim to take advantage of me, or because you don't know that it could have been so much better". I don't know when, but at some point any expectation of honesty in praise just went out of the window. Because of that, obviously, I also don't praise people as much as I should, because I expect they would react like I do - with obvious repercussions on social interactions.

The mind can be a right bitch.

My whole country of 80 million people with very high Internet usage is still not supporting IPv6 at all (and residential connections are behind CGNAT). I'm pretty sure there are many more. IPv6 might be a thing in US or Europe, but definitely not in the world.

Don't get lost in the weeds, this isn't a political discussion, you can have a discussion about that on reddit or twitter. This is a clear cut instruction for an AI and it is not responding correctly. The point of this AI is to do what you ask. People are asking it to imitate a unix terminal and it is doing it just fine, but here we see that evidently as soon as the topic gets contentious, it is prone to misbehave and tap into mass social consciousness. Not a useful function! I have already provided one example of a positive thing Trump did that was mildly well received which the AI could have cited.
>I’m not sure what you’re trying to start here but it’s not working.

I am making a point about Hacker News comments by taking a meta perspective on your post.

But let's focus on a specific criticism: what I took from the article is that the job market is shrinking and the evidence is that job offers and internships rescinded. We also know about broad layoffs.

It would be interesting to hear your claims as a "knowledgeable tech insider" then a rant on journalism in general.
This made me weep. Pythagorean ideals of proportion have existed for a millenia. See Ancient Greek/Roman architecture, gothic architecture (e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00004-022-00591-2) and then go to visit an average modern city development and look at what modern architects consider to be, I don't know, the 'ideal' diameter of a non-supporting (almost entirely aesthetic) column, or the incongruous separation of windows. It's everywhere.
Eh, some people might do that, but, really, titles like that beg you to read the article (or at least it's why I read it). The article absolutely does not say anything like "reducing abstraction will make things cheaper".
Other than for a new driver's license and a passport, I haven't even taken a picture of myself since 2014. I do some fantasy cosplay, though, so have had pictures taken of me from that, though I'm not sure many would recognize me.

> "Getting a more representative sample" is premised on getting as representative a sample as possible

But representative of what? You can't get a sample that is "representative" of non-responders--because they don't respond.

If you ask once and include whoever responds in your sample, your sample is representative (you hope) of people who respond.

If you ask non-responders again, your sample now includes people who responded when asked once, and people who responded when asked twice. But the "asked twice" part introduces an extra variable: did the fact that you asked them twice change something that you would rather had not been changed? Given that, it's not clear that the second sample is any more "representative" of anything useful than the first.
In every movie production edit bay will be a $100 Walmart flatscreen. Because making a video production look good in 4k ProRes is fairly easy. But the majority of your audience is going to watch it on that cheap screen or something similar.
It's one of those almost paradoxical things - the maps by the people who use a system can be very incomplete - because the system is right there! You don't need a detailed map of where the rail line between two points is because you can just follow it.

Another example is blueprints - they seem very detailed and accurate until you realize that quite a bit is "left out" and the tradesmen are assumed able to figure it out - it will show fixture locations for example, but rarely show exactly how the wires are run to them.

But if you're creating a 'map' of a house you bought, wire locations is extremely useful because they're all behind the walls.

Frankly this just seems like Vivaldi hopping on a not so compelling trend.

I don’t even think your list of events is a successive, connected one. Browsers once had RSS readers so now it’s full circle that Vivaldi adds to its kitchen sink for a social network barely anybody uses?
Yup this is so magical. I've always felt there was something off about requiring setting up what is essentially a pytorch/ml dev environment everytime end users "just" want to run inference.

I grabbed the prebuilt artifacts (windows)

Then downloaded ggml-base.bin (148mb) and put it in models/ggml-base.en.bin

- https://huggingface.co/datasets/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/blob/m...

Ran it and everything worked! Amazing. Note that only the large (3GB) whisper-v2 is available at the moment, but haven't seen any errors yet from the older small ones. Wild.
For the price of washing two mugs instead of one, you can also pour the coffee through air from one to another a couple of times. That brings the temperature down much quicker comparing to just leaving it sit a while.

Helps to have containers that have an edge that is easy to pour from. Less spilling.

Chromium browsers lack side tabs and horizontal tabs make zero sense. I believe that Firefox (and its derivatives) is the only option which is open source.

That was my first thought too. But even at that speed, we have quite a bit of time. Since the particles are 0.01% slower than the light that just reached us, the particles would arrive in: 8,500,000,000 light years away * 0.01% speed of light = 850,000 years. Humanity will be unrecognizable by that point.

> You should validate that the request is signed correctly

I agree with you here, but wondering what you see the benefit of per-app PKI is, versus signing all webhooks with the same cert. Is it to prevent having to do a key rotation that would impact every webhook consumer?
My ISP (Metronet, Ohio, US) uses CGNAT. I’ve had their service for about 15 months now, and it has been pretty much uneventful. Maybe a handful of times I’ve gotten a captcha on something, but for the most part, it’s just fine. I also don’t see thousands of blocked connection attempts a day either, so there is a plus side. I just use Tailscale should I need to access anything at home while I’m away.
Oh, hmm, it has been like that for a while - I remember when there was no Docker Desktop and you just installed the cli

Honestly this is a bit of a fantasy. If you love Rust and hate C, and haven't looked into kernel development before ... it's a whole different ball-game than user-space Rust. With a variety of real-world hardware, and the complexity of modern CPUs, and demands of a variety of complex user-space software, you just don't have the "guarantees" and conveniences you want, at this layer. The hardware does what it does and you just have to deal with it. User-space C code can be way easier to reason about. For a small taste see https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/9/19/1105
The studies you link do not find any dangerous levels of radioisotopes. They also actually found higher radioisotope concentrations in the Baltic than in the north sea and English channel, because Chernobyl released more radiation than this reprocessing plant contrary to your assertion otherwise. You say that a reprocessing facility releases more radiation than Fukushima every few decades, but La Hague had been in operation for 50 years. Fukushima levels of radiation would have been released by now, and mysteriously nobody can seem to detect it.

> They both decreased since the 90s because Greenpeace were right and they won and better control measures were put in place.

What measures? No source seems to mention any sort of changes or improvements following Greenpeace's stunts. What is far more likely for reductions in radioisotopes? Is the stopping of oceanic dumping of nuclear waste, that I explained later.

> If the total quantity from those reprocessing facilities is safe, then this is trivial to prove. Set up publicly auditable monitoring around all of their outputs.

This is already happening! You just linked to two public studies on the concentration of radioisotopes in the waters around Europe. How can you simultaneously post studies measuring radiation density, while also claiming that it's not possible to measure the radiation in the vicinity of these facilities?

And again, it's mysteriously only Greenpeace that cares. Belgium, Netherland, the UK, Spain - all of France's neighbors are apparently okay with their waters being polluted?

To be blunt, I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how radioactive contamination works. The UK and USSR dumped huge amounts of nuclear waste into the ocean, and there was no observed ill effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_... Whatever emissions this French reprocessing site is producing is negligible compared to the background concentrations of radioisotopes.
