Because most people don't care. People have more immediate problems than something that might kill/injure them decades from now. Most people don't even know about the potential dangers and where the chemicals are used. When people do find out, they're shocked/skeptical.

As an example, my mother-in-law was using old non-stick pans. I had to tell about the FDA saying to throw out pans from before 2013. She was shocked. Then I had to explain the new pans still have similar concerns because they changed the formula which isn't that different and is just less tested. Her world view is that there's no way the government would allow anything harmful on the market. Yeah... ok...
I can't spot any difference when disabling JavaScript. On the GitHub page, you can see that it's just a CSS file, though they do plan to add JS in the future.

The layoffs aren’t about actually saving the cost of those specific employees.

Instead, the threat of being laid off is being used as a stick to bring the remaining employees in line — productivity has been lower the last few years, and leadership has no real way to measure on an individual level or how to improve it, so putting the pressure on employees is a tried and true tactics.

Further, they can make lower TC offers to future employees, and give lower raises, pointing to the “need” to do so as demonstrated by earlier layoffs.

So you lay off 6% but freeze the wages of the remaining 94% (who are grateful to have a job rather than carping about wages not tracking inflation) — big savings.
You need to use the fully loaded cost of an employee when estimating opex savings, which includes health care costs, retirement funding, etc.

Rule of thumb is that fully loaded cost for US employees is approximately 2x yearly salary (although people who've actually run a company can correct my potentially stale or incorrect understanding).
This post reads as unnecessary FUD. You aren’t forced to use the CLI. If you choose to use it, some workflows are simpler.

The only part of the commit response I care about is the URL to create/view a pull request. It’s pretty easy to ignore the rest.
It would be so cool in the future if AI could predict which parts are harder to understand and which parts are fluff and dynamically adjust the speed for you.

I’d love 50% speed for tough concepts but 300% for the banter and their dumb stories.

Agreed, ban those paper straws, they are terrible. I just want my good old plastic straws back.
Nuclear power has the particular disadvantage of having to be actively managed. You can't just "leave it alone".
For the very reason that you're still looking up how to checkout a pull request, git's CLI is not super intuitive and the gh tools appears to be trying to simplify it for their customers. Also realize that the entire concept of a pull request is foreign to git (it is a GitHub invention, Linus never designed git for pull request style development), so they likely want to add tooling to make it easier to use.
> most of the technology in ChatGPT came from Google research efforts

Google is also a bit notorious in the ML space for taking concepts from other companies and academy, making a couple changes and slipping a google logo on it and then dubiously claiming superior performance (see the inception convnets, photo coloration and object removal etc, even the transformer itself to some degree)

They deserve credit for the transformer but I’m not sure that means they will have a leg up here overall. I agree though it is likely to be the bureaucracy that will take them down if they in fact do not succeed.
It's hard to look toward an optimistic future when, at least from some perspectives, the optimistic future that was predicted decades ago didn't arrive, and in some ways the proliferation of computing has made things worse. The techno-utopianism expressed in Steven Levy's _Hackers_, for instance, seems quaintly naive now.

It's easier to be optimistic in some areas, though. In my own field of accessibility, the rise of personal computers and digital communication has obviously done a lot of good, and I only wish it would go faster (e.g. no more paper).
Can a mod rename this: sounds like base salary is being reduced by 6%

Why would you buy a Ferrari or other exotic and then hand off the keys to some stranger? Most people rich enough to do that want to then enjoy it.
you'd rather work harder and for less money than work with people who phone it in?

I don't really buy the meritocracy argument that 'good devs get paid more'. It hasn't really panned out in my experience, except for less than 1%, probably closer to .1% of devs who are really, truly exceptional AND will fight aggressively for their keep.

For me it was spiegel.de ... since age of 16. I'm now in my late 30s. They helped me get a grip on it by introducing paid content. Given that I don't even like their quality of journalism that much since more than a decade. I mostly go there to annoy myself. Yeah, I guess for ADHD stricken minds that counts as entertainment.

> I see so many topics I’m interested in, so many cool projects, so I bookmark them. Then I see more and bookmark them too. There’s a never ending number of things I bookmark.

I never really got into bookmarking. I just open lots of tabs and read through them. Then I forget about it and sooner or later I close the browser. Of course I don't start new sessions where I left off for a reason.

> But the constant reality is that I will never ever be able to do all the things in my brain. It’s a severely frustrating and depressing fact I feel faced with every day. A world of highs and disappointment.

That's life. If you think about it - time and its investment is always linear for a single person while knowledge is created exponentially ... so, even if you'd live forever you couldn't get a hold on it.

> But I’m totally addicted because there’s just so much new.

And so much old!

Well - meditation - zen meditation - breath meditation - that's what helps me. Nothing else. It's this with devotion or misery.

I don't have the tool installed, so I suspect it's more likely that we're on different branches of an A/B test.
This is the UI I had in my original PS1. Never knew they updated it for the PSone.
Just checked to see if I just missed it when i use GH

when cloning a repo you get 3 tabs instead of 2 before which are HTTPS,SSH,GH CLI

based on the gh command you wrote you were trying to checkout a branch related to a PR so i tried that
on top there is now the `Checkout with github CLI` section but underneath it there is `Checkout with Git` with the HTTPS or SSH options

yes, they changed the layout and put their CLI on top (which came before microsoft btw, unrelated to them) but there is still the original workflow right there

Either OP is on some A/B bucket where they "deleted" git or OP didn't bother to look
> The point of my example is to show that the functions can exist even if their domain includes "indescribable" numbers.

But that is not at issue. What is at issue is whether or not a function exists whose domain is an (infinite) set of indescribable numbers and whose range is a member of the set. The existence of such a function is far less clear.

Of course you can postulate the existence of such a function. But you can also postulate the existence of an oracle for the halting problem. My gut tells me that these two ideas have a lot in common.
> Sure, safety's difficult -- but precisely because its the exact same issue as cryptography. Your point about bug bounties is a perfect example of antifragility -- and cryptos success in this regard is far more interesting than its failures (none of which have been fundamental to the concept)

I don't where's the antifragility -- it's exactly the reverse, crypto systems are "superfragile". An online wallet is a juicy target for an attack every second it exists, and the moment defenses fail the result is catastrophic. It's even worse with modern crypto features like NFTs -- which require online wallets and have you actively advertise to everyone how much money there is.

> Increased value. Again, no different from any other financial instrument in any fundamental way. Every criticism you can make of crypto, you can make of bonds, etc. The zero-sum argument is especially bad in this regard.

For pretty much every crypto concept there exists a non-crypto analog that's far more user friendly and safer to work with. The question is why would crypto see increased adoption when to most people crypto doesn't have good tradeoffs.

So if I wanted to make money from bonds, I'd just buy bonds. I'd need to be nuts to opt into the crypto equivalent.
And nutrition depends on whether they have someone to feed them.
For that sort of problem I'd generally use C, so laugh in their face :-)
It would be great if they could publish their salary bands. If you are advertising jobs to Washington State residents, by law, need to publish salary bands. This seems to be not compliant with our law.
Nim Meta-Programming – A Killer Feature
I have recently started using the Nim programming language.

It has a killer feature: meta-programming.

Here I describe how I implemented a html templating system using Nim meta-programming.
It's normally assumed that the number of symbols is finite.
No, you can't say the same thing about lead. We understand the mechanisms in which lead poisons the body. We know that even low levels of lead exposure cause damage. And, we've measured this damage by comparing large samples sizes based on blood lead levels. Even a tiny amount of lead, like 3.5 mcg / dL measured in blood, is correlated with loss of IQ.
Saying something doesn’t imply saying something about a denotable entity.
> "... being genuine, about having something to offer, about the importance of being liked, but I think I'm missing something a bit more fundamental"

My experience has been "having something to offer" is far and away the biggest factor, or rather what they think you have to offer. Everyone has plenty to offer, but not everyone immediately sees it, let alone appreciates it. The majority of people you meet won't be a "genuine bond" right away.

What works the best for me is simple. You focus on them without betraying yourself. It's sort of a dance. You treat discussions like a ball that cannot be dropped and listen well. You aren't afraid to take the lead and always have something new when things get boring. You avoid going deep into a topic until you've tried at least a few others or get a strong reaction. You keep how often you talk about yourself in check and keep it relevant. It's really a broader mindset in life of constantly searching for common ground. You are not trying to please them, but just asserting what you both want in a natural way. You're keeping them involved and not being awkward sharing control of the interaction.

> "it happens sometimes, but infrequently, and doesn't seem to be under my control at all."

So it's that last part that was my problem. I used to be pretty awkward sharing control in social interactions. I would ramble without ever looking up at their face or willfully ignore body language stubbornly thinking it was what I was saying rather than everything else. I would zone out because I didn't know how to say I didn't know what they were talking about. I was too inside my own head. My thoughts about them would pile up and go unresolved. I was more comfortable making assumptions and trying to guess rather than just asking them. In short, I was afraid.

No clue if this helps you or anyone. I tried. That's all we can do.
Isn't the whole point of cheap and plentiful renewable energy that inefficiencies in processes like this are irrelevant?

Why would long-term storage matter if wind and solar can produce so much energy that we cannot feasibly consume it all? What other long-term energy storage plans are there right now?

I would not write off fuel stations just yet. There may well be a future where some renewable fuel powers vehicles.

This is an unpopular opinion, but history from the DotCom crash tells us that the layoffs are just getting started. Turns out you can’t run at a loss forever, and when the going gets rough the fastest way to increase profitability is to cut costs.

Say what you will about Elon and Twitter, but he definitely proved that the majority of the engineers at Twitter were adding no value to the company. That is probably true at _all_ of the large tech companies.

If you work at a tech company make sure you have at least 6 months of liquid savings set aside for a rainy day.

Big data's hidden cost: The carbon footprint of computational science
In companies of Microsoft's size, the quotes are almost certainly layers away from (in this case) Satya having any input other than final signoff. The communications team will have written the text, including the quotes, and it will likely have gone through the hierarchy for review and approvals.

So genuinely, does it really matter whether the original much-reviewed PR-blah quote is written by a junior comms human, or an AI algorithm?
I think the two most important things are Your Portfolio of Projects, and Who You Know. My first gamedev job (Unity/C#) was thanks to a friend who had just been hired in Design. He let me know they had an opening, and I sent them my application including links to a small fluid-based character controller, and during the interview the 3 guys had a lot of questions about it, and I was clearly very excited and deeply knowledgable about the project (ie, I had not stolen it).

I don't have any certs besides my 4-year degree in Computer Systems. As for Building Projects, look for problems you want to solve, have a grasp of what Language/Tools you will explore, and just Get Started.

chatGPT was very useful when I wanted to host a php forum, having tried and failed webdev multiple times. Great at linux owners/permissions/nginx, stumbled a bit with emacs php packages due to being out of date, led me on an infuriating logic loop until I resorted to Google->Stack Overflow.

Good Luck!
It also has 'Automatically popup New Flag dialog' which seems to be similar to what you want.
If not goading, they're at least providing some cover for each other. If a company is looking to cut some percentage of staff, it's best to tuck that into the news cycle when many of your peers are doing the same thing.

Embedding ads is much more natural than displaying them. I don't think Google will allow you to know what part is payed, just like how product search moved to ads-only.
This doesn't make sense. That's not what AoC means. It is a statement that the cartesian product is non-empty if the sets are non-empty.

One might as well say "Well, if I were to lobotomize you, you would not be able to choose". The "choice" here is a term of art. There is no actual "choosing" going on here.
Thanks for sharing. Both Eve and Mech have me intrigued. I’m going to do a deep-dive into them later today to learn more and explore the concept.

I think what we don't see talked about is the avoidance of continuing to take on debt when interest rates are much higher than in recent past. Companies can issue bonds to raise money instead of loans but both are based on interest rates.

Companies pulling back on growth investments will help their bottom line sooner. For tech companies their greatest cost is employees which also is where they invest for more growth in new products/services.

Cash flow is king when interest rates are high.

Anyone can build and add Dropbox-like functionality to their product suite (and I was even involved in a couple such efforts a while back)... but Spotify is not at all like that, in that not only is having the music licenses they have more than just some engineering work, people bring their music to Spotify, and so you can't even have a few ins and a major investor and then try and quickly get the same licenses to have the same service as you would still be missing essentially all of the music I listen to on Spotify.

Presumably they already have performance processes that eliminate "dead weight". Be assured that layoffs never really mean that usual performance bases firings are paused. It's pretty much always happening on top of existing performance processes.
Don't tell mods to change something if you're not sure what you're talking about. Base here refers to people, 600 to be exact, so it sounds like you're wrong.
For those looking for a water filter that easily installs into your sink: https://www.hydroviv.com/collections/hydroviv-water-filters
I have personally been the guy that 'stuck around to see if the company recovers'. I stayed for three years with just more of my benefits cut, salary freezes, promised "we'll maybe promote you in six months or so even though you've already been doing your previous bosses job for a year and we refer to you as the SME in the department" multiple times without it happening, etc. When I finally jumped ship, I got a 60% raise and better benefits than I ever had at that company.

Meanwhile everyone else who left or were laid off were getting their raises and salary bumps and 401k matches etc that entire time so the opportunity cost of all that lost salary for me was very high. I should have been looking immediately and left as soon as I found something better.

As a hint of how they're currently doing, their stock has gone down 71% since I joined seven years ago, and down about 30% since I've left a year and a half ago. I sat and listened to each of their quarterly earnings reports and I think every quarter their year-over-year revenue went down the entire time I was there. I'd still be waiting for things to get better if I was still there.

I'm not saying turn in your notice today, I'm saying the company can always hire someone to replace you if they're desperate enough, don't worry about being loyal to it, at the expense of your own livelihood, out of hopes that maybe it'll get better someday. If it does, rejoin the company after it gets better.

As long as you didn't burn the bridge on the way out, they'll probably be happy to rehire you. And you might get a better salary that way than if you stayed the entire time.

That's not the only time I stuck around, btw. I've been one of the guys that survived an initial layoff just to be laid off in a later round three other times. They were in the video game industry, so I wanted to stick it out until the game was released at least, and thought 'well maybe things will get better by then'. It didn't. I was just unemployed and not making any money while looking for a new job, (severance isn't much of a thing in the game industry, at least not for smaller companies), which also made me a bit desperate to take the first job that gave me an offer, instead of being employed while looking and able to be more discerning.
Checking out the branch via git is a single command that's neither longer nor more complicated than the "gh cli" version.

For years, it's been the default command in a single-click "copy" field under the "code" dropdown in a PR, not because git is complicated and anyone needs to "look up" the command, but because that's a fast and efficient way to grab a branch.

Replacing the `git` single-liner with a `gh` single-liner does nothing for the user but make them dependent on the `gh` tool.

> I haven't seen anyone seriously propose hydrogen based powerplants.

Well, Japan has. You may have read about it recently in the article linked at the top of this comment page. Here's another source from Japan itself: https://www.meti.go.jp/english/policy/energy_environment/glo...

> Accelerating the commercialization of hydrogen power generation turbines in Japan by supporting the early demonstration with actual equipment, with a view to capturing the global market in the future

> Assuming that the price of the 100% hydrogen-derived electricity retail menu and the price of the 100% natural gas-derived electricity retail menu are the same, and assuming that only the latter retail menu has a price hike of about 1.8 yen/kWh (based on the time when the cost of LNG-fired power generation was at its highest), a standard household would be able to save about 8,600 yen/year.
I would love to implement a decent autocorrect for the iPhone. However, I know that Apple will ban it from their platform when they want, or as soon as they feel the heat of the competition.
this is partially about wage depression
2X is my understanding as well. Whatever you think an employee costs based on TC, double it to get the rough cost to the employer. Some other big employer costs related to employees you forgot include employment taxes, hardware/software expenses and licenses, and office space and related perks.

Also I suspect that $150k as the mean TC of those being let go is low. Spotify might be saving up to $500k all-in per employee let go.
