I believe that was exactly GP's point—they're just pointing out that the problem with retaining tech workers isn't often that they're treated poorly by their company, even when that might be the problem with retaining many other workers.
Why is it different from any other business? Profit motive is often at odds with product vision for pretty much everything.
I grew up in big ag. I think a lot of people get hung up on subsidies and the actions of large conglomerates.

While it's true that's what got us there, in my experience what keeps us there is the _this is how my father did it and it worked_ attitude. Looking to the past for a recipe for success.

A lot of the old timers actually experienced a time where farming was harder than it was (it's still not an easy job). To them it makes sense to follow what was led as that made life easier.

The guys running the farms that are doing really well tend to have a large subset of their acreage dedicated to organic crops based purely on market demand. They also test their soil, rotate their off season cover crops based on those tests, have their livestock graze on the cover, and have radically different opinions than the norm on plow, vs till, vs low till, vs no till (they use them as the situation calls for it, not beholden to a particular method)

In short the successful folks question what was done and are trying to get out ahead of industry trends where most people are just blindly following a pattern that worked at some point in the past. IMO it's not too much different the tech industry.

Open Source HTML Templater
A free, robust, code-free lightweight client-side tool which puts node templating in the hands of the HTML developer. Optimized to simplify and reduce keystrokes for the HTML dev.

This tool isn't for templating an entire website or webpage. It's only for repeated HTML nodes within a page.

It enables the HTML dev to easily control the layout of a long series of identical HTML sibling-nodes, each containing different content.

"Code free" means the HTML dev never has to write or deal with Javascript. This tool enables an HTML dev to create and use templates with pure HTML. All elements are contained within the webpage: container, template, and data.

Stable release.

Seeking both developers and testers.
Also Microsoft offered to make Call of Duty available on PlayStation for the next 10 years, which is unprecedented. I think that kind of takes the wind right out of Sony's whining. It bothers me that Sony does worse monopolistic things, like blocking cross-play, and then goes crying to the law to prevent Microsoft getting a leg up. I mean it's totally expected, typical big business stuff, but it's hypocritical as fuck.
> In most places it's around 80ish for such a monthly ticket.

Sure about that? A one-month ticket just for the city of Cologne (1 Million people) is 109.70 Euros. A regular one-month ticket that would include surrounding towns as far away as Bonn (30 minutes) costs 259.30 Euros [VRS level 4]. If you want to reach Düsseldorf (40 minutes) or Aachen (50 minutes), that's 351.40 Euros [VRS level 7].

Of course it's a bit cheaper if you get a yearly pass and much cheaper if your employer chips in, but the 49 Euro ticket will be a _huge_ improvement. And NYC doesn't sound all that bad in comparison to the regular rates of today.
At list prices, perhaps. Importantly, we don't own the hardware. H100s are coming soon and they are much faster.
Gotcha. I drew my conclusion based on the mentioned package.json. Now wonder why did you decide to go with rust for query engine? Do you compile it into wasm?

F117 was a dark skunk project shown years after being operational. That made sense to me for a super secret project with wildly new technologies and capabilities.

I don't understand the announcements of such projects from the vision stage, with the details of capability, purpose, strategy, photos,etc.

Is it commoditized sufficiently? Is it deterrence? Is there enough misinformation?
There are a lot of products released under GPL, for example, that make money for their authors. It's just that they don't make money with licensing fees.

It does both (while there's still spinning generators on the grid, those are exactly the same thing because of how the generators work. When there aren't any on the grid, they are in principle seperate, but the inverters will still use the frequency as a signalling mechanism, since it's a very robust means of controlling a system as large and complex as a grid).

> Placing all of the blame on an individual removes the opportunity to improve things.

It seems to me that there's another option. Describe the problem thusly:

> A Lyft employee grabbed our data storage access keys from Github. He, or someone else then used these keys to grab PII that Uber was legally required to safeguard. Uber management and/or legal actively worked to cover all of this up and mislead the FTC about the nature and size of the breach.

>

> Given these facts, what processes and procedures can we change or create to ensure that the PII we're charged with safeguarding remains safe and guarded, that any threat to or breach of said information is detected as soon as is reasonably possible, and that any attempts of management and/or legal to cover up any such incidents are detected and reported to the appropriate authorities?
> That 20% probably also expects/demands everyone else show up, because they prefer everyone else to be there, too! :)

This hasn't been my experience exactly, though I've also participated in the occasional get-together at the office when the team collectively decided to work together in person.

As for the motivations of those who prefer to be at the office, some might have living conditions where the office environment is a more pleasant for work (especially given some family situations), others like to have clear boundaries between a work place and a rest place... whatever those motivations might be, I don't judge.

Though I can see how it would be annoying if someone demanded that everyone fit their preferred way of work. I once talked to someone who was dead set on only doing synchronous communication and rejected the idea of someone being able to respond to their question an hour later or so as acceptable - something like that would definitely cause problems, though that's just a particular mindset to look out for.
"tail /var/log/nginx.log" is now "journalctl -fu nginx" or "jouranlctl -eu nginx". Not that much of a difference, it really depends what you grow up with. We could argue "tail" is ugly because you never know if it's "tail /var/log/nginx.log" or "tail /var/log/nginx/nginx.log".

A nice feature is that journald gives you flags like "--boot" to see logs only emitted during a specific boot, or "--since '5m ago'" which is not that straightforward to do with the approach you favor. (if there is a way to do it easily, please let me know!)
Yep, I live in Chicago and I'm about 10 miles from my parents' house, as the crow flies. I have at various times in my life regretted not moving around and living in different cities, but I didn't feel the urgency to move a thousand miles away from home since I grew up next to one of the largest cities in the US. I imagine that if I had grown up in a small town, like my wife, moving far away from home would have been the only option.

Performance Toolbox: Measuring API Latency
Wow I didn't know about that undocumented ability to change Airport prefs!

I was able to somewhat disable AWDL by doing this like you suggest:

sudo /usr/libexec/airportd en0 prefs AWDLEnabled=YES

And then restarting airportd so that it picks up the change:

sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.airportd

This worked without having to disable SIP and modify com.apple.airportd.plist

It doesn't take the awdl0 interface down, and I still see some traffic on it, but I can confirm that it disables some awdl features like "Unlock with Watch" and Screen Sharing over awdl. (Screen Sharing will work over your wifi network instead, but normally it'll prefer a direct awdl link)

Yes, it's as simple as the back end not validating that the user id and email address in the requests are tied to the active session. It's a very common mistake, often happens when devs try to roll their own session management/access control functionality

Could this be simply a case of "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few"?.

For example I live near a busy road during "rush hour" in the morning and evenings. A few mins up the road from me 2 major roads intersect which causes more hassle during these peak times. Now If you are travelling West to East to wish to turn right at the intersection to continue your journey south its quicker during those times to cut though my neighborhood (and same in the other direction) and cut out the queues leading up to the intersection. However my neighborhood's roads are not designed for that much traffic to flow though them (cars parked in the street narrowing the roads and reducing visablity of pedestrians esp kids playing outside).

The handful of locals that travel though the neighborhood to get home (live one side but enter the other) are fine however if Google Maps routed everyone wishing to make that turn though the neighborhood it would make the neighborhoods roads much less friendly to the pedestrians of the neighborhood esp at times kids are going to school or are back home from school and playing outside.

Keeping the through traffic to the major roads keeps everyone safer, and actually faster overall because the major roads aren't littered with cards parked in the road creating bottlenecks.

Much like how the london underground lies to travellers and routes them around long detours during busy periods to help prevent a crush if they all went the shortest & fastest route possible - https://youtu.be/IrHRQSm6LIs?t=57
In fairness, this is a conviction for failing to call the police (misprision) when your boss decided to cover up a data breach, not for committing armed robbery. Obstruction of justice as well.

I am definitely sure I would not have the common sense, the business sense, understanding of self, and the capitol to do anything of value if I have stayed.

I'm doing Advent of Code in clojure for the second year. It's frustrating in some ways (learning the string-parsing to process the inputs takes longer to learn in clojure than to simply execute in C++, C#, or JS, but that's because I know those other languages much better).

But the pleasure of iterating towards the solution and building and quickly testing each of the constituents is joy-inducing.

He clarifies that infinite sequences are valid, but all infinites are countable. It's an appealing view. Rather than the reals being uncountably infinite, they're countably infinite. Irrational numbers are uncomputable, but all rational numbers can be described, and therefore counted.
Right, but these are general language models, just big ones - and they seem to be progressing quickly. People have started working on more specific systems: https://www.deepmind.com/blog/competitive-programming-with-a...

When I moved from Bucks County to Chester County I was "moving away" and many people just wrote me off. Despite being an hour or two drive away.
The AB acquisition wouldn't even budge the needle. The gaming industry is huge and none of AB's IP is big enough to be considered anything close to monopolistic. So they'd get CoD and WoW and a handful of dead franchises. What are the most sold and the most popular games on consoles and PC in the past year?

Honestly, blocking this acquisition is a green light for Sony to continue buying up companies and not having to compete by, say, making their own AAA shooter again. I'm not sure how this makes us better off.
The Disney buyouts were made under a very different FTC and also a very different political climate. As well as a more naive view on monopolies by many in the regulatory/political sphere.

This move away from the consumer harm standard is recent and the new FTC chair is committed to making sure we go back to the old days of Anti-Trust.

Fair enough, but besides the US, almost everybody does believe in climate change. It's not even a question in Europe. In the developing parts of the world the question is whether it is fair that the developed world has profited and enriched itself through industrialism without caring about global warming, and now the developing world is not allowed to. The situation in the US is quite different since there's a disinformation campaign that has been going on for a long time in order to protect the interests of the rich.

In my experience, even my very pro-vaccine friends eventually became more and more unsure whether the government was doing the right thing as the pandemic went on. The fact that we're debating this topic but not climate change also shows it might have more merit than it.

Also as a small-scale experiment: whenever I post these kinds of opinions my comment score does a funny dance where I can see a lot of people are up/downvoting, but the comment score basically stays at 1. That shows that HN itself is pretty split on this issue!
A large playerbase and good matchmaking could solve this. Ironically the best way for any game to get a large enough playerbase for fair matchmaking and low queue times is to go free-to-play.

One of the things that worries me about ChatGPT-driven products is the issue of confidence. We’ve seen in other posts where it can generate convincing-sounding instructions from thin air. How can I trust that following the instructions for “How to set cookie in FastAPI?” is going to be legit?

We obviously also have this issue with the open web, but real authors are almost universally doing it for others’ benefit (as opposed to their detriment/trolling). ChatGPT generating instructions for processes isn’t “real” and so it has no notion of them being “correct” or “incorrect”; they just “look” the same as the training data.
