Maybe that was how Apple operated under Steve Jobs (developers would work days and nights to make Steve Jobs vision work despite technical challenges) but unfortunately it does not seem to be how Apple operates anymore.

The redesign of System Preferences / Settings in macOS 13 shows that they do not care about any details any more at all. It looks like some manager said: "Make it look like on iPad", and some overworked dev changed the UI in the way that was the least amount of effort, and they shipped it without checking if the result is usable at all.
Months?
Ok, fair point from an individuals view. But considering that its known that unions are a controversial opinion, it would still seem rash to state its obviousness.
There is also the possibility that they have too many assets due to participating in money laundering or tax evasion.

There really aren't a lot of good possibilities here, how did these exchanges get so large before anyone thought of audits?
Yeah this was really odd to read?

I phrase things like this: the lack of real labor power through unions or ideally worker cooperatives leads to bad deals for workers. It would be in the interest of workers to build collective power and demand better compensation or start their own cooperatives to guarantee higher pay and benefits.

This has to be said because collective action necessarily requires convincing a lot of people to do it. But either way this language avoids the claim of right and wrong and simply focuses on the fact that workers today get a bad deal due to poor bargaining power.

It’s also not just about markets. The federal government places severe restrictions on what organized labor can do to advocate for itself:

Serialization formats not designed specifically for the language should not be treated as serializers for objects in that language.

That is, JSON is not a representation of objects in your language. It's your application that holds a representation of JSON data. If you're not paying attention to the translation layer between your native objects and the JSON ones, you'll hit problems sooner or later.
They often want to spend more time with family. They have hobbies that they didn't have enough time to devote to while working. And, for a lot of later career people in tech, they weren't doing a lot of coding anyway--and it's not like they can continue to meet with customers or set company technology direction part-time over the long term although a few very senior folks may stay around as an advisor for a time.
Or… it turns out that the FBI has specific mandates and they include things like “counter election disinformation” and it doesn’t include things like “report every bad guy on Twitter.”

Here's what a typical primary care physician will do: prescribe you non-stimulant ADHD medication with potentially terrible side effects and since those don't work for a lot of people, they will move on to prescribing amphetamines with terrible side effects. Most physicians receive little training in nutrition (I believe one class is standard).

You should consider reevaluating your blind faith in physicians (they were an instrumental part of the opioid crisis after all), especially when it drives you to make a dismissive comment like this in response to a benign suggestion about a dietary change that you seemingly haven't evaluated before responding. Here the individual has seen success with this approach for themselves and others and is simply sharing their experience. They're not suggesting anything extreme or dangerous.
Good leadership feels like a democracy while actually being a dictatorship.

Walk people towards the decision you want using a Socratic method and then let them take the credit for the decision making.

Of course sometimes you will get a situation where someone doesn’t arrive at the solution you want anyway so you need to excise a bit of hard power, but hopefully that is rare enough that people respect it when you do it.
In fact, you might feel like a hero for needing to put in OT to put out a garbage fire! Never mind that it shouldn't have happened in the first place...

It's not "using data registers for mask" that is claimed to be unusual, it's requiring a the mask bit for the 64th byte of a comparison to be usable as as part of the 8th byte of a subsequent addition. I have read that, and it seems like the motivation is that someone who has written a PhD thesis thinks that people don't actually need filtering in their SIMD kernels, which is obviously ridiculous for general-purpose programs manually written in terms of vectors, but which may have been true for the particular programs under study.
Clinton’s loss can be blamed on a multitude of reasons, not least a failure to campaign in the relevant Rust Belt and Midwest states where she lost. Be that as it may, there is a running narrative in her party that the FBI’s actions under Comey, when it comes to the timing of the investigation and how the announcements regarding it were delivered, contributed to her loss.

At any rate, I am just pointing out the humorous irony involved in appealing to that party to watch the FBI lest “they might lose a future election”… they already believe themselves the losers of one because of FBI involvement!
The real problem here is the memtaverse. This is a solution to a problem no one has and it's costing a vast amount of money for, well, nothing really.

Why does it exist? Simple. Meta needs a new monopoly since FB usage is declining and IG is getting eaten alive by Tiktok. Messaging (ie FB Messenger, IG Direct, WhatsApp) is not enough.

Meta has long seen VR then AR as the natural evolution from text -> image -> video. I think it's clear that the VR part of this at least is in error. Personaly I see VR as never being anything more than a niche. Somehow spending $20B+ a year on that without any kind of product-market fit or a vision for what problem this will solve for people is the problem.

AR is way more likely to have a future but the tech isn't there yet and there are doubts it'll be anything more than a niche either. This is a deep topic but projecting things onto real vision isn't exactly simple. Even something as simple as the color black is a problem. Focus is another giant problem.

For anyone surprised how a project can spend billions without producing anything, this is classic big company poorly defined project type stuff. A project will expand to fill available resources. Writing a blank check just increases the head count. It doesn't produce more just because you have more head count. People without clear direction will invent fake work for themselves. They'll solve non-problems, creates frameworks, add processes and so on as necessary.

The change in policy by Denmark very likely comes down to the risk of overloading their ICU's with a naive covid population. When covid first arrived everyone was susceptible to covid and the long tail of poor outcomes was enough to plug up the hospitals (and primarily the ICU's).

Now, much of the population has become either naturally or through vaccination much less susceptible to poor outcomes from a covid infection, and this is especially true of younger people.

So the response to covid was never really about the health of the population as much as it was about the health of the hospitals. The risk to the hospitals is now much lower and therefore the reasonable vaccination effort has now changed.
Which seems to imply that Apple, which counts 1000+ engineers[1], and spent $5B+ on a “spaceship” campus[2], is just “lazy”.

What is going on with "Android Emulation on Linux???"

I feel like I have to be missing something obvious, I can't see how it can be so darn hard to just run android apps on (desktop) Linux given..you know, that it is Linux.
128bit SIMD on x86 is called SSE, not AVX. AVX is 256bit. SSE (first introduced with the Pentium 3) had many extensions that added instructions: SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and some others.
I suspect part of the motivation for this is an environment that expects everyone to "work on something BIG" (as you say) all the time and a hyper focus on the short term.

Ambitious people who recognize the game will play it to advance their career regardless of how it might affect the long term prospect of the company or products.

Generally, a company culture that is more focused on delivering tangible value, and ability to recognize and fix behaviors that optimize for short term/career gaining behavior will succeed in keeping this in check. This gets much more difficult to do in larger companies and organizations though.

Maybe its some kind of "scale disease"; some natural law that will make larger companies incapable of innovation the bigger they get.
They have them, they exist but the regulatory frameworks to build and deploy any nuclear technology is horrendously slow.

But they are being built.

https://www.power-technology.com/features/where-will-the-fir...

Look at this project in Canada

https://nuclearsafety.gc.ca/eng/reactors/research-reactors/o...

The application was submitted almost 3 years ago and we're barely halfway through the approval process.

So sure rollout has been mega slow but that doesn't mean the technology has not advanced it 30 years. Only that our deployment of it has been slow.
So what is the revelation here, or what does it suggest we should do?
When people talk about wealth, they generally include assets such as the companies owned.
What? They have no “rights” to use Twitter. This is also not even remotely controversial.

Or put another way: the government cannot coerce Twitter or any other platform to carry someone else’s speech.

Note however the government is free to ask Twitter to carry people’s speech, as Trump did almost daily for 4+ years whining about so and so getting banned or de-boosted etc.
> authority structure there wasn't as flat as you describe.

It never is. In the absence of formal authority, people will unconsciously build an ad hoc structure on their own.
> You are conflating implementation tricks with language semantics.

No, I'm not.

> In Lisp, NIL is always an atom, never a cons.

That depends on what you mean by "atom". If by "atom" you mean something that answers true to the ATOM predicate then yes, NIL is an atom. But if by "atom" you mean something that produces an error if you try to call CAR or CDR on it then no, NIL is not an atom, it is equal to (CONS NIL NIL) because (CAR NIL) and (CDR NIL) are both NIL.

So the result of (ATOM NIL) is an arbitrary choice. And CL arguably got it wrong because it fails to preserve the invariant that if (ATOM X) is true then (CAR X) and (CDR X) will produce errors.

[UPDATE]

> a dotted list is a nonempty list where the cdr of the last cons is not NIL

But this is just terminology. In CL, NIL behaves exactly the same as (NIL . NIL) with respect to CAR and CDR.

Indeed, it is exactly this confusion that is the basis for a lot of criticism of CL's design. In Scheme, the empty list is unambiguously atomic: trying to take the CAR or CDR of the empty list in Scheme is an error, as with any other atom.

Worst of all is how the following page inexplicably has a rather dark gray filter applied to it until it's fully visible. Just awful.
yeah without a keyboard it sucks. it's like trying to code via SMS lol.

But the dockability makes it pretty damn awesome. you can code in first class style by docking it with a monitor and keyboard, and then when you leave you can take it with you and get a great portable game player or movie watcher or web browser with good battery life. the built in screen is pretty good. I was impressed
For the monster hardware it has, Oculus (at least in games) can only rival a PS2 in terms of polygon count. Pair that with the 5% GPU utilization metric and you get that this device can handle a whole lot more load and it's just being used inefficiently. I'd even use the word 'wrong', people within Meta made 'good enough' libraries and called it a day, and he's mad about that.

This thing has billions of dollars poured into it, and all you get is PS2/PSP level graphics? No way, man.

Carmack of all people knows the kind of feats this machine is capable of, having worked complex optimization problems in the RAGE Engine and the old Quake engine too.
interesting, those things (especially photos not saving) never happened to me on Samsung or google phones
The thing about 5% gpu utilization makes me wonder if all this talk about training LLMs on multi A100 clusters is largely unecessary and that it might be possible for everyday GPUs to reach say A100 levels simply by going from 5% utilization to 90%.
They don't share legal system, cultural norms, or attitudes towards housing...what they share is delegated authority on planning and high levels of population growth. There are countries in Europe with identical systems but do not have the same issue because population growth isn't high enough.

There is nothing to generalize from. You don't need to construct a weird theory about the media (you will notice the other replies, for some reason, have this very odd theory that all English-language countries are the same...the UK doesn't even have one legal system in the country).
Most people like the idea of taking decisions and hate the idea of taking responsibility for them.
I find this as being indirect and dancing around the issue. When I do e.g. a code review and I see a glaring defect on it - I point it out very clearly and directly to make sure there is no misunderstanding - I say, XYZ is incorrect. Because of blah-blah. No feelings attached to it, just a fact.
We’ve been on that road for a long, long time.
It's not actually that big a deal, it's just they don't want to deal with it. You discharge pipe has to be a lot longer, spreading it over enough water for it not to matter. (Spread it enough and it's no more of an issue than evaporation at the surface increasing salinity.) You can also pump ordinary seawater into the discharge system to lower it's salinity before release.

If you have the real estate you can also go with evaporation ponds. Probably not too viable in California but it could be done in Texas.
What would be best (and of course, exactly the sort of thing that Gnome would likely oppose) is to be able to choose your own file chooser -- it should be modular like that.

The most annoying thing these days is how they're all different. I just want one (and honestly, I'd love it to be my hacky fzf solution, but again, modular)
Not at all.

In the definition of any controlled switch, e.g. transistor, optical switch or any other kind, it is essential that there are two distinct quantities, e.g. voltages or light beams, one that controls the output state and one that provides power to the output circuit.

A resistor corresponds to a tinted window, not to an optical switch.
Then you should probably talk with your employer, or your employer with Red Hat, instead of demanding things in comments on a post of some volunteer giving their time to implement something.
Every now and then I see some brain-dead hand-wringing about them being an agent of the Russian state. I saw a lot soon after the war started. The other time I saw a lot was right after that hack that involved TeamCity.

HN and Reddit aren't hive minds and both hold a lot of diverse opinions. Nothing is universally loved on either. Today's society can longer agree on agree on fundamentals like if the earth is round or if democracy is good.

As someone else has mentioned, I believe it's a metaphor for Meta as a company. It's probably a little extreme at 5% but he's suggesting they're only working at that efficiency level.

The opening paragraph says "we have a good product". No, you have a good device, it's not the same thing. Maybe he thinks org ineffeciency is about not covering enough product use cases but the other parts of the post suggest focus on technical characteristics as the metric to measure success. Obviously he is way smarter than me so what do I know but that's what I see.
The role of appellate courts is generally not to judge the facts of the case, but to judge whether the law has been applied correctly.

If you got convicted because the prosecutor and the trial judge didn't know what the law was, that's not right. That's what the Supreme Court decision here was about, not about whether or not Arthur Andersen had committed a crime.

In many cases, having your verdict overturned doesn't preclude the prosecutor from trying the case again.
Not trying to start a flame war, but the Japanese are an example of an economy where unions work really well. Their constitution and labor laws were largely written by New Deal Democrat inflected occupation forces who set up labor rights that Detroit fought against (somewhat successfully) for years. Some have even gone to suggest that the competitiveness of their auto industry stems from the fact that labor is effectively a fixed cost and a controlling stakeholder so the incentives to improveme process align nicely. This isn’t a pro/con union position it is more of a nuance that some unions are better than others and the historical/legal context for unions shapes that effecitvness. Unions can be a positive force but they can also be a negative force. A one sided account for them being good or bad is just too simplistic to be credible.
AMD does have two different drivers (which I find maddening). I bought a monstrous GPU to use for hashcat, but the open source/built-in drivers don't support the openCL that hashcat (and crypto mining) need. The Pro driver doesn't get updated fast enough to work on Fedora, which is also a travesty for me. I really wish that weren't the case.

I can't speak for steam deck though, just my experience on a self build.
For the past couple of years, the defense of Twitter’s aggressive moderation has been that Twitter is a private company and that the First Amendment only stops the government from censoring speech. Now we know that Twitter was doing this, in part, at the behest of a government agency. If this isn’t “out of the ordinary” it’s only because of the FBI’s well-established reputation for doing far worse things.

Ask HN: Recommendations from Print Magazines to Digital

An annoying thing about `nil` is when it stomps a namespace in which you're using symbols, such as in a minilanguage, by being read as the nil value rather than as the symbol `nil`.

Besides it being obvious, I actually ran into this in a real-world situation, with some super-rapid work on a dataset of only about 100 entries, where it turned out one user's real name had the initials N.I.L.

I have lost 30 pounds in last 4 months and now lifting and working out 4 days a week(I try 5 days). I look forward to working out now. I feel so much more energetic and elevated state of awareness. Everything is already so much better.
OP isn't saying that the person with ultimate authority has to be involved in every decision, just that when they do make a decision everyone respects it. You can have the kind of authority that OP is describing while still delegating most decisions to the individual contributors. You just need someone who is officially empowered to make the final call in cases where there's disagreement.
No. They keep whatever actual wealth they might end up creating - if and when they even manage that - and the only thing that trickles down from them is their ego.

> The difference between a good engineer and a bad engineer is their `complexity to result` ratio. Good engineers can create simple solutions, while bad engineers create complex solutions, even though both might produce the same end result.

No serious engineer likes complexity for the sake of complexity. This may only apply to juniors practicing RDD (Resume-Driven Development).

Although there are times when a simple solution is not obvious even to the seniors, but these are generally very rare cases.
If there is one “tech disruption” I hope actually sticks is the death of credentialism and the rise of proof of ability by doing. I have only a bachelor’s in a liberal art(!) and working in tech has opened up so many doors for me, in teams where nobody cared where I went to school and my lack of a master’s was met with curious shrugs.
You can, but only in the long run, and only if you’re saying “yes” to good things too. We’ve all probably worked with someone who just says no to everything and manages to kill both good ideas and bad. That leads to stagnation, which can be even worse than trying and failing at a bunch of different ideas.
I feel like Metas 'flatness' is revealing itself as suboptimal now that its stock is tanking. While the product is generating money and productivity doesn't really matter, the organization can afford to have masses of engineers doing not much of anything. But when things are going bad and clear top down organization is needed, then this culture suddenly turns into massive friction and might end up killing the company.
I'm just referring to the fact that they said "But it does not understand anything here" even though the parent comment made no such claim. The parent was saying ChatGPT made a bullshit answer that even tricked OP into thinking there was understanding.
