Thanks for the suggestion! The problem with self-imposed quotas comes up when provider and customer disagrees on the charges. Provider may simply disagree with you and insist that you did in fact used "X" amount more of bandwidth. This "X" can be small, or astronomical, it all depends on how trustworthy the provider is, or how good your skills of setting up the quotas are (in case of own mistakes.)

Now, given that the provider already tries to pull shady stuff on me -- how much trust should I have in case of a dispute?.. I'd rather prefer to avoid the whole possibility of such dispute, frankly.
I get my paycheque for showing up. For dedicated work rather than mediocrity, I need extra.
Most signs point to it being hardware-related. Without any Mac-specific optimization, the Asahi folks got fairly long runtimes out of the CPU (which makes sense, ARM has low idle draws).

Frankly though, I don't want most manufacturers to make ARM machines. While Apple is allowed to monopolize the latest TSMC silicon, it's completely pointless trying to compete with them. May as well focus on delivering a great x86 experience with AMD and switching to something more open like RISC-V when the time comes.
They wanted 11,000 extra heads when the market was rewarding growth.

Now that the market is rewarding bottom lines - they don't want 11,000 extra heads anymore.

It's easy to "blame the Fed" for the market rewarding the bottom line. But we forget that the reason the market was so crazily rewarding growth 2 years ago was also... because of the Fed.

So even if you have an iPhone SE 1st gen (released 2016) or an iPad mini 4 (released 2015), you still won't be able to accept the new T&Cs.
For some reason Fantastic 4 came to my mind, I wonder why...

He's implying that the company has some kind of duty to treat its employees like humans who would be adversely affected by being fired - or the company would perhaps suffer some PR damage from mass firings. But if everyone's doing it, it's a necessity.
Firing a bunch of people impacts morale, PR, etc. So there may be a bunch of people they'd like to fire but not badly enough to deal with those consequences. But a public narrative of "it's the economy" or "layoffs are just going around" can shield them from those consequences and give them an opportunity.
If he hires people, if he doesn't fire people, if he doesn't tweet, if he tweets that the flat earth people are out there fighting the woke mob, it doesn't matter, Musk will be hailed as a genius no matter what.

Musk has enough money and influence to stress out his employees and userbase for decades.
Great to see!

Has anyone tried one of the controllers with a Nintendo switch?
Yes, they're doing a lot of remote-ish work; they go home to their districts. Each has offices (usually several) where they can meet with constituents; it's often the best way to get weird issues with dense organizations like the IRS or Medicare resolved.
Interesting that Twitter is shipping features faster than ever after 80% layoffs.

Don't think Twitter's revenue issues have anything to do with sales staff. Advertising channels/campaigns can and should be 100% automated.
I can't even tolerate the latency of playing my PS5 one room over. Can't see how it'd be any fun to play a game hosted hundreds of miles away.
"Losing". As if Taiwan and Japan are owned by the USA. The title itself speaks loudly about the mindset of the author and the American ruling class, but reveals also the truth. Taiwan is an ex military dictatorship born as a puppet state for the USA to counter communist China.
They could invest heavily in productivity increases (like Japan did), or they could open their borders to a flood of immigrants (and they can probably do both). China has options, probably involving lots of robots and African immigrants.
Yeah sorry maybe it was a bit confusing. I meant that Joplin allows me to have a "structured" personal diary by categorizing experience and knowledge of different areas into notebooks instead of a simple "What happened today" page, i.e. what happens in "less structured" personal diaries.
My understanding is that the way they converted to unlimited PTO was by paying out people's vacation time with a one time payout.

In which case, they didn't lose benefit at all
The fact is that anything that disproportionately affects poor people will disproportionately affect black people.
But not the features that retain advertisers. Which were the silent issues that no one talked about before.

And indeed, advertisers aren't talking about it now. They're just leaving the platform in droves. There's no one _to_ talk about it with. Entire teams (including high ranking executives) that kept relationships with advertisers have been fired.

Twitter doesn't even have anyone answering / categorizing the complaints anymore.

> Don't think Twitter's revenue issues have anything to do with sales staff. Advertising channels/campaigns can and should be 100% automated.

You can't automate news. News is constantly changing. Advertisers _constantly_ are complaining about "X is being shown next to Y news event. Please stop that", and its impossible to predict X, or Y.
its not about preferences really.

as a developer myself I can justify the extra cost of RAM, I can make use of it (IDEs for example need a lot of RAM) but the company I work for should really pay for this. With that in mind: $200 is almost nothing.

Overall, I think we agree, mostly I’m absolutely pissed off about runaway hardware requirements for running basic software, leaving no room for me to run my specialist tools; even with top of the line laptops. (leading to me buying an absolutely overjacked desktop, which apparently is not enough soon?)

As mentioned, most of the 2010s I ran with the most RAM you could reasonably get in a laptop, but still felt the slowness because of these “productivity” programs which are often completely proprietary.

My main argument here is that I don't think we should all be running 256GiB of RAM, but it feels like the consensus is that “we need more RAM” and that continues to be an argument, because “we cant do much with 16G”.

I say we agree, because as you say “why is 4GB enough” I am saying “when is it ever enough?”
Citing the very real and horrible history of ethnic discrimination to dismiss valid criticism of an authoritarian state is odd. It's also exactly what the CCP does.

It's hard to see how so many companies could grow their headcounts far in excess of their revenue growth, and people didn't see at some point, they'd start cutting.

So saying "There is no evidence for your claims" is proving your point? Any claim you make is proven true by the very fact that others strongly disagree with it? Up is down, white is black, and truth has no meaning anymore? You're already very far gone, then. This is not a healthy mental state.
Yep - I work at a great place in this regards (smallish company which helps I am sure)

5. Minimize meetings
The companies wont yank it from the app stores in the US for fear of losing their cut of ad revenue but that is the better next step.

Fixed that for you.
I think you can in theory believe that wealth can be created - but also at the same time be convinced that modern heavily financialized[1] economy does very little of that.

Add to that how a lot of people have seen their societies become substantially worse of as a whole - yes, iPhones are awesome and modern cars are safer and so on, but instead of having a union job you pee in bottles in Amazon warehouse, and instead of buying a home you are forever renting a studio apartment.

The Simpsons titular family of one high school educated guy with house and three kids on single income went from "typical boring dude" to "impossible dream" over the course of one or two generations, after all.

I'm grateful to not have much of a problem with my smartphone usage, but I often find myself researching dumb phones in search of something somehow better because I quite dislike my phone (and all the others I've seen/heard of) as a device. It's too big, I hate touchscreens, and I hate Bluetooth.

I'd like to see someone develop a new smartphone platform with all the niceties like GPS, a decent camera, easy cloud (and/or manual) backups of my data, and either a lot of onboard storage or easy SD compatibility, but offer it in a completely different physical format that is more conducive to efficient, intermittent productive/tool-like use and less tuned for consumption. Small form factor, maybe a fold-out QWERTY keyboard (my LG Env3 is the only phone I've ever actually liked), headphone jack, etc. Something reasonably durable that can take a drop or be submerged and simply won't be "fun" enough to spend much passive time on.

As for apps, I like all my basics to be built by the same company that built the hardware, but combining that with an open platform for third-party options seems like an easy win, even if I don't end up using those other apps myself.

I recently got my old iPod up and running again because I loathe the touchscreen/Bluetooth headphone combination for listening to music. But it feels so stupid to be carrying an additional device. I now carry a camera with me too because I dislike smartphone image processing. This also feels stupid.

It's silly that we've concluded the only two options are pocket computers that can't do much at all, or pocket computers that can do anything, but only in this one way that many people find harmful.
>I would hate to be at a mercy of politicians..

Being in private industry won't shield you.

Over the past decade or so non-legislative OSHA rulings have completely annihilated business who manufactures small cranes to the favor of anyone who manufactures hydraulic equivalents.

Remember all those weird conversion van/truck things, aftermarket sleepers and other "not quite a full fledged semi truck sleeper" stuff that was it's whole little industry until the 90s? DOT rule re-interpretation of a rule related to off-duty time killed all that.

EPA's, DEA's and ATF's capriciousness is well known...
She did not lose her lawsuit against the legal aid society. However, her lawsuit was dismissed. Perhaps the actions of the legal aid society doesn't meet the bar for indictment of any sorts.

Regardless, it does not change the fact that the unsubstantiated statements made by the legal aid society against her is premised on an illiberal ideology, with clear intent to smear her reputation and oppress her point of view.

> I'm far from a Tesla fan myself, but one thing I found really cool are claims by friends who worked with Tesla is that they have a huge lead on mainstream car makers thanks to the fact they design and make a huge part of the cars and "stack" in-house.

That might be true, but it's not clear at all that it's good.

Vertical integration carries risks because you now have to run your own end-to-end supply chain, which means you are also responsible for building diversification in that supply chain (as otherwise you end up with single points of failure), which is complex and expensive.

I've heard similar claims about how cool it is that Tesla doesn't have dealerships, but the downside is they also have absolutely horrendous service.

And this is ignoring the fact that how Tesla builds and sells their products is somewhat orthogonal to the question of product category disruption.

No one would've called Apple disruptive if they made yet-another-flip-phone but just built and sold it differently.
> It's hard to see how so many companies could grow their headcounts far in excess of their revenue growth, and people didn't see at some point, they'd start cutting.

It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff without hiring both and sorting after the fact when you're actually informed by experience.

The economic downturn just gives excellent cover for what's an arguably necessary part of a cycle akin to forests burning.
It can be that but also it can be that they see some of the competition cooling so they don't have to spend as much to keep up with their competition.

It's like airline pricing. One airline has a sale, others follow (competition heating up), then, one airline hikes fares, others follow (as competition cools down).
It is, I was just there this past weekend. The town itself is very small, and like some have said its getting more pricey. I can talk about this area for hours as I had a job offer from a startup spun out of LANL a few years back, I ended up not taking the job and sometimes regret it.

But for Los Alamos itself I would consider it on an "island" so to speak as the surrounding communities(except santa fe) are not great, see espanola. There are reservations around the area and they have their own issues(see drugs alcohol etc - the drive from the valley to Los Alamos requires you to turn on daytime running lights due to many DUI's) but the town is extremely friendly and safe just not alot to do if its not outdoor related.

Like some have said some LANL employees commute in from Santa Fe which is a nice town, it skews very old and rich(on the north and east sides) and if you have a family is not ideal(almost all the families live on the south side of town). Overall the area has excellent food(northern new mexican food is incredible!) and for outdoor enthusiasts it really can't be beat. Home prices in Santa Fe have risen alot in the past few years like most nice outdoor areas. But I think you can't go wrong with the area if you don't mind the few downsides.
Absolutely!

I think it really depends on the overall health and strength of the corporate body and the external environmental conditions it's struggling to survive in. Sometimes ripping off the bandaid quickly is the best of many bad options.

However, you also have to consider that seeing a larger percentage of your teammates cut loose might be more psychologically damaging than just that one guy who everyone kind of knew was a poor performer anyway.
You have to understand that is different. It's not emir work but rather getting in touch with their constituents.

Sorry if /s and sorry if not. They do have special work which by definition is in two locations.
I have never heard of this functionality. Is this some magic setting somewhere? When I plug in my MacBook it charges to 100% and stays there. This isn't a Tesla: this is a laptop. When the pandemic started and I stopped traveling the battery in my MacBook very rapidly nearly fully died.

Regardless, all of my MacBooks eventually have battery problems whether they were plugged in all the time or not: it is extremely common for MacBook batteries to eventually get so damaged they start to swell and either need to be replaced or crack the case (and that's ignoring the fire hazard).
It can be tedious to fire people. I know a manager at MS that has been struggling with a terrible performer for over a year. They are just now getting to the point of going through the processes (first gotta do RCA and try to fix etc) and having a paper trail down with HR to be able to fire them.
FWIW, we run .NET6+ on linux / docker on AWS
i'm pretty sure eregon is biased...
Noma's financials are public because Denmark requires all companies to make their records public. It's profitable, but paying interns min wage will eat away about half their profit. Paying all their staff a living wage wouldn't be profitable at all.

To look at what more sustainable restaurants look like, look at high end French restaurants. Unpaid internships are all but illegal in France (can't last longer than 2 months, can't do duties that paid staff would otherwise do), worker protections are much stronger and as a result you've got higher prices for less courses and far fewer staff per cover.
Generally speaking, they probably want about 5% loss / year, so they can continuously hire new starts and eliminate vacated positions as required.

They definitely should have a warning. The legal immunity was a practical measure, so I can understand that. The issue I have with the immunity is that it stands as an ongoing precedent, if it's never rolled back.
There's no reason to view it as a pure tech-only thing. Every single company has hoarded talent in the past two years owing to the tight labor market. And it only needs some folks to signal before the flood gates open.

Finance is beginning now but a lot of layoffs will follow in H1 2023 IMO.

I don't attach any positive or negative moral value beyond everyone just working in their own self interest.
Even if GvR promotes it fully, it won't be adopted unless c extensions work out of the box.

Python without its crazy amount of extensions in c-api won't survive.
There have been some product changes in terms of moderation, those blue checkmarks, and impression count. I don't really blame Elon for trying new things. On the technical side I don't know what's changed.

That said, I concur that Twitter is doomed. It was already not very profitable before advertisers started backing away, and Elon's tendency to "move fast and ignore regulations" won't serve him very well in the current climate of tightly regulated social media. Elon's piggy bank is no longer unlimited due to the revaluation of TSLA and the tendency for his huge sales to drive the price down even further.
I've lots of concrete houses on journeys to tropical climates- in my case, some Carribean islands and to a lesser extent SE Asia. The older ones were typically block built rather than panel built. I could also be confusing concrete/cement as I find it impossible to keep those straight.

wass up everyone, I'm the dude that posted that Tweet. Thanks for all the traffic to my profile, and as such to my new startup cr8.art (AI tool for artists).

Thank you to @levelsio for just replying to the Tweet, my notification tab in Twitter is now laggy and broken :)

If you read the other replies I dropped into the tweet there is a little more context and I was half joking. It's for vanilla projects but TBH, my projects that produce the highest amount of profits actually have the worse code etc and worse commit messages, with no PRs. But hey lets all keep doing what we are doing.

Anyway just wanted to tell you all that this command is now even more awesome, it's now `alias g='git add . && git commit -m "x" && git push origin main'` in my bash profile, so I just run "g".

Why "g" you may ask? Because I'm a G.

Okay I'm just joking, it's for git ofc, but even shorter. Whoop.

p.s. reason deployments are so fast, it because I'm using Vercel. Currently shipping around 15 times a day to production woooooo.

> Mass layoffs give you the opportunity to quickly purge poor performers without as much paperwork. It's advantageous to have regular rolling layoffs because of this if you can justify them by economic conditions.

I've heard people say this, but it seems contrary to how layoffs are run in practice:

• entire teams or divisions are often laid off with no eye towards individual employees' tenure, experience or skills

• decisions happen on a condensed time scale by higher-level executives—not exactly conducive to a nuanced view of individual employees' performance, which companies struggle to assess effectively at the best of times

The "common knowledge" about what layoffs accomplish and why they're necessary really doesn't match what happens on the ground.
They are both free market dynamics.
Advertisers dropped spending because they don't like Elon/his behavior. Not because sales staff were laid off. It's quite obvious to anybody looking at the situation objectively.

Twitter has functioned fine after massive layoffs, and feature velocity has only accelerated. Too many developers have an inflated sense of self importance
The term "losing" doesn't have such a specific connotation for me.

E.g., losing a friend to a drunk driver.
There's no social solution to getting players to not try to cheat in competitive games.
Just did this update on my controller. Pretty cool process, it recognized the controller didnt have enough battery to continue and denied the update. After it charged for a bit, it was all pretty straight forward. Now to find the other controllers I got around the house and get them done.

Had to use Chrome to do all the updating though.
> Interesting that Twitter is shipping features faster than ever after 80% layoffs.

I don't know if deliberately breaking their developer API for third party clients counts as "shipping features faster than ever".
I'll have to check out OLauncher. I use and adore another open source text launcher: KISS
I'm also in Brooklyn. Light Phone 2 has directions including MTA transit. For tickets, I do print them out.

Sometimes I'll draw a little map for fun and use that instead of the phone directions, for simple things. Once I draw the map I find that I actually memorize 90% of it anyways and often don't end up looking at it.

As for car ride services, I just stopped using them except for super essential times, at which point I can pull my iPhone out of a drawer.
Or maybe it's some collective BigCo board of directors shared thinking that they need to show to shareholders that they are being proactive on that Overton window.
