I'd agree here and I think there's a big flaw in how this period of history is taught to people in the 'victorious' powers.

Generally a high-school level of history (assuming you're paying the normal level of attention) leaves you with the impression that Germans got sad and mad and poor because of the Treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation and the 'German martial spirit' or something and then Hitler appeared out of nowhere to do bad stuff.

Reading "The Coming of the Third Reich" by Richard J. Evans was eye-opening in this regard. The Nazis did nothing more than tie together several existing culturally accepted themes more successfully than other fringe groups in Weimar politics. The swastika as a far-right symbol wasn't even 'invented' by them.

The Nazis to some extent were incidental, or didn't represent a step-change from the thoughts, politics and speech that were already circulating broadly in pre-Nazi society. This is what free-speech primacists seem to neglect. The Nazi ideology didn't arise from nowhere, death camps weren't the start, they were the end of 30 plus years of increasing acceptability and propagation of far-right ideas (stab in the back myths, casual and scientific anti-Semitism, anti-communist and anti-left propaganda, mainstream scientific eugenics, etc).

Maybe social structure of some sort is responsible ? I am not sure just looking at the patterns I see in developed countries.
When the code doesn't work you can let the customer know that the team bond has never been stronger. The most important thing is delivering the product, working on a team is often critical for that but sometimes you need a few skilled individuals over a army of collaborators to get a product over the finish line.
I was waiting for the “climate justice” folks to start attacking electric cars, because those don’t require fundamentally restructuring where and how Americans live. You can still have Dallas with electric cars and that’s a problem.
There are plenty of students and elderly that could handle the job and also handle the minimum wage.

It is my understanding that in the US, you're not paid minimum wage. Waiters are paid mostly by tips.

Some may have no wage! Tips only.

Where I live, this is illegal, and I suspect in Europe too, and this is where the lack of understanding comes from.

Now, coffee shops? People behind counters are not waiters, so I am unsure of wage issues, in the US.
Funny. This is exactly why I left a certain e-commerce company. Good on them.

I don't think this price is justifiable for the current interface. I am judging based on my experience with Github Copilot.

I use copilot daily (because it is integrate with VSCode), it is very useful for me and it is only $10/month.

For ChatGPT to be useful in the everyday use, it has to be integrated in a current workflow, not for breaking the workflow by going to external website, login in, and start chatting.
I would never use an airbnb for e.g. a city trip, but booking whole cottages in the country through airbnb has always been great for me. Prices are usually totally reasonable as well.
I am always looking for ways to quickly put together math presentations and I’ve been recently turning to marp’s VS code plugin for this.

I also recently heard that quarto can do something similar (I.e markdown slides with math notation), and it also has a vs code plugin but I haven’t played with it much

Hackmd also has a nice markdown/math slides mode but unlike Marp it has no pdf export.
You just have to store the user’s time zone as a preference and then convert to that time zone from UTC.
You still get that in America if you tip more than others.
Don't use booking.com they use the same predatory tactics and fuck over both guests and hotels wherever they get a foothold.
Adding a tip for large parties has been a common practice for decades—long before the current trend of adding tips for everything.

Whether you agree with the idea of tips or not, that’s the system we have, and in that system large parties very often take up far more resources at a restaurant than smaller ones. They take more time to leave, they clog up the kitchen (as all dishes need to come out at the same time), they often occupy multiple servers at the same time (when a normal table takes only one), and very often don’t tip at a level anywhere close to the standard 15% (with so many people, everyone thinks they can get away with a low tip and others at the table will make up for it). Servers get charged taxes as if they received those tips, so getting shorted actually costs them money (paying taxes on money they didn’t receive).

This practice is different than dark patterns, as it’s actually addressing a real problem with the customers that’s been known be restaurants for a long time. It’s not the same thing as trying to trick or guilt people into tipping.
You have more faith in our competition authorities fairness and approaches to these mega corps than I do, but I hope you’re right and I am wrong.
Hedge funds aren't married to the stocks they own. They'll buy and sell or even short depending on what the next short-term price move will be. As long as the price moves and they predicted it (possibly because they caused it), it's all good for them.
Every time the stock markets goes down I know there will be layoffs a while later. I think its psychological, a multi billionaire who has gone down from say, ten billion to seven billion doesn't say to himself “I still have seven”. He feels he has lost three bullion and he wants it back.
LTO Tape Storage is designed to damage itself – no airfilters, always powered on
Apr 28, 2018
LTO tape storage technology is very poorly designed, typically there are no air filters on the tape drives, and there is an air circulation system that constantly sucks dust directly through the tape drive mechanism.

But the drive system is sensitive to dust, and the solution is that you have to clean it with tape cleaning media. But even so the cleaning media is itself mildly abrasive and slowly wears down the drive heads until they no longer work.

... Here’s an idea, how about designing tape drives that turn themselves off, or go into an ultra low power idle state when they’re not doing anything, and don’t need cooling?

Or maybe design tape drive systems to have a HEPA micron particulate filter on the front of them to protect a stand-alone tape drive or robotic tape library from dust?

Yet oddly it seems absolutely no LTO manufacturer does this. It’s as if they are intentionally designing their products to slowly destroy themselves, due to environmental concerns that may be out of control of the equipment owner.

Well for one, I'd build a system architecture I first imagined back at Sun in the early 90's which is a NUMA fabric attached compute/storage/io/memory scalable compute node.

Then I'd take a shared nothing cluster (typical network attached Linux cluster) and refactor a couple of algorithms that can "only" run on super computers and have them run faster on a complex that costs 1/10th as much. That would be based on an idea that was generated by listening to IBM and Google talk about their quantum computers and explaining how they were going to be so great. Imagine replacing every branch in a program with an assert that aborts the program on fail. You send 10,000 copies of the program to 10,000 cores with the asserts set uniquely on each copy. The core that completes kicks off the next round.
I shall admit my defeat ;)
This has almost no relation to the actual topic…?
Banks still occasionally shutdown customers who follow the rules but are grossly unprofitable.

My point is, I think the banks actually want churners for the reasons I mentioned.
Winter in the Midwest, especially if you have kids, is an unending parade of mild cold symptoms. It's not reasonable to ask everyone to seal themselves inside forever.
> Why does the barista deserve that money more?

I think you're conflating deserving that money more with deserving more money. Obviously the ideal solution would be to pay everyone better, but individuals are limited in their capacity to effect change. Eliminating tipping, absent a replacement, isn't fair either (except in the sense that all service workers would become equally poor).

SigNoz also follows a similar approach since the attributes can be arbitrary, and ClickHouse needs a fixed schema ahead. The options are map, parried arrays etc.. but they all are slow depending on the object unpacking ClickHouse needs to do. ClickHouse does its best on the regular columns as it's built for it. If the access is on Map/Array types, it is faster than other DB systems but slower than regular columns.
I'm not sure that Plan 9 does process migration out of the box. It does have complete "containerization" by default, i.e. user-controlled namespacing of all OS resources - so snapshotting and migration could be a feasible addition to it.

Distributed shared memory is another intriguing possibility, particularly since large address spaces are now basically ubiquitous. It would allow users to seamlessly extend multi-threaded workloads to run on a cluster; the OS would essentially have to implement memory-coherence protocols over the network.

Found the definition:

Sterling and his Goddard colleague Donald J. Becker connected 16 PCs, each containing an Intel 486 microprocessor, using Linux and a standard Ethernet network. For scientific applications, the PC cluster delivered sustained performance of 70 megaflops--that is, 70 million floating-point operations per second. Though modest by today's standards, this speed was not much lower than that of some smaller commercial supercomputers available at the time. And the cluster was built for only $40,000, or about one tenth the price of a comparable commercial machine in 1994.

NASA researchers named their cluster Beowulf, after the lean, mean hero of medieval legend who defeated the giant monster Grendel by ripping off one of the creature's arms. Since then, the name has been widely adopted to refer to any low-cost cluster constructed from commercially available PCs.
can confirm. it's even worse, the first version was literally called "Stack Ranker" then was muddled up into the management dashboard with some obscure "Promotion signal" link.
How much has it damaged your QWERTY skill? I have avoided trying to learn another layout because occasionally you need to use someone else's keyboard and I don't want to look like an idiot.
When I was a child, the set of rules were pretty common:

* Don't tip at counters

* Don't tip the owner of an establishment

* Tip on the quality of the service, not the quality of the food

* Very low tips should be utilized only in case of very bad
service. (A penny tip sends a much bigger message than no tip)

* Round up to the nearest dollar for taxi drivers or Ubers, since they are almost all self-employed, and you don't tip bus drivers do you?

Also, I only tip in cash, and only by putting that cash directly in the hand of one of my servers. Otherwise the manager, who is not supposed to be tipped will likely take a cut.
It's much harder to get laid off in Germany due to much better protection and even if you are laid off, you are eligible for unemployment benefits. So I think you are a little reactionary there right now.

Besides that, it's still an interesting question. I am currently in the process of starting a company in Germany and besides the horrible bureaucracy it's just really hard in general.

I think in tech the best way to start a company is to start a consulting (side) business in whatever you are good at. This way you can talk to companies and get paid for it. Over time you will notice that many companies have similar problems which you might be able to address with some kind of product.

The key is not to fall in love with the consulting business because that is selling time for money at the end of the day.

> but I don’t feel experienced enough for that.

This is classic imposter syndrome. I don't think anyone feels experienced enough. My background is tech as well but I have learned a shit ton of things on the business side of things and got to talk to many people.

> I am buying ETFs for a few hundred € a month,

Btw, that's a good way for long term wealth, especially for more money in retirement or a possible early retirement, but it takes time.

Short term wealth is always gambling. Starting a company almost always goes along with a significant pay cut in the beginning.
"raylib" comes to mind, as it is a graphics library also inspired by the Borland BGI graphics library.

Intel also has now up to 480 cores in an 8-socket server with 60 cores per socket, though Sapphire Rapids is handicapped in comparison with AMD Genoa by much lower clock frequencies and cache memory sizes.

However, while the high-core-count CPUs have excellent performance per occupied volume and per watt, they all have extremely low performance per dollar, unless you are able to negotiate huge discounts, when buying them by the thousands.

Using multiple servers with Ryzen 9 7950X can provide a performance per dollar many times higher than that of any current server CPU, i.e. six 16-core 7950X with a total of 384 GB of unbuffered ECC DDR5-4800 will be both much faster and much cheaper than one 96-core Genoa with 384 GB of buffered ECC DDR5-4800.

Nevertheless, the variant with multiple 7950X is limited for many applications by either the relatively low amount of memory per node or by the higher communication latency between nodes.

Still, for a small business it can provide much more bang for the buck, when the applications are suitable for being distributed over multiple nodes (e.g. code compilation).
As far as I understand (not a US citizen), the biggest thing people seem to do is:
-get a credit card
-do your normal shopping with it
But this just seems nonsensical to me, sure if you can't pay your shopping cart, a mortgage is very likely a bad idea. But what predictive value is there in this score besides that? For individuals it seems more useful to just ask payslip info instead of some weird arbitrary number to get the feeling if someone can pay you.
> It was with small change but now McDonalds harasses you every time you make an order to round up for some charity I never heard about.

To be fair, the McDonalds charity is actually totally legit and really awesome and you should donate to it. It's one of the few exceptions to the general rule that these charity promotions are usually suspect tax laundering schemes.
1. Not in my experience. I use Firefox and with very few execptions, everything works the way I expect it to.

2. Not any more than native apps.

3. I guess.. Not sure that matters though..

4. Not any more than native apps. But what mtomweb refers to is obviously the app stores which act as gate keepers, which web apps are not subject to.

What? Not in my opinion, they haven't.
Hacker Smacker (https://hackersmacker.org) is a browser extension I built to help with exactly this problem. It shows a colored or next every commenters name, signifying whether you friended them or foe’d them. And so it lets you read Hacker News natively and allows you to quickly scroll through comments, highlighting, commenters who you like, and filtering commenters who you previously have marked that you don’t like.

Makes quick work of comment threads. And if the people you’re following, also use hackers smacker, then their friends and foes will also be shown as side-by-side orbs.

The real problems with video are that it 1) doesn't require any meaningful use of selective attention, being constantly hyper-engaging with every relevant stimuli presented on a platter, and 2) it doesn't teach them any bidirectional interaction with their environment, during a critical period of brain development meant for exactly that.

As a Firefox user on Linux I'm about to switch honestly. The browser is in a terrible state on Linux in terms of performance.

There is video playback on without fan noise (Chromium) or a very audible fan noise on Firefox (Notebook & Steam Deck + Fedora/Pop/Arch/Ubuntu) => More use of power resulting in less time for me.

Switching to Linux resulting in me ditching my forever browser Firefox is something I would not have guessed.
I like paper maps because you can write on them. Every hostel will tear a map off a pile and draw directions on them for their guests.

Honest question : how do you think it works literally anywhere outside of Canada and the US?

We have bar and restaurants, too.
People working there have kids, mortgage.
I would even say that it’s more a “real” job than in the US.

“Real”, in the sense that, in the US, I’ve seen friends in their 40’s switching industry because they want to have kids. While for instance in France their is actual school you go to before become a waiter in the higher end places.
Those are jobs were you are well compensated and that you can expect to keep for a while ( with a promotion path )
The crown estate is de facto the state's property, and has been for centuries.

Probably because not everyone agrees whether or not there is competition. You can have competition without it being an organized race. There are two variables in play, whether a specific person wears a wetsuit, and whether a specific person feels like there is competition. This leads to roughly four groups:

A) non-competitive wetsuit wearers
B) competitive wetsuit wearers
C) non-competitive non-wetsuit wearers
D) competitive non-wetsuit wearers

It's not hard to see how you could get strife between group D and groups A and B. People in group A wear a wetsuit and don't see any harm because they aren't competing anyways. People in group B probably figure wearing a wetsuit is a valid way to improve your times. People in group D probably figure wearing a wetsuit is a cheaty way to improve your times and get upset.

Having this strife between groups B and D makes some amount of sense, but since this is not an official competition there's no centralized authority to decide on the issue. Group A just gets caught in the crossfire.
To be fair, risks related to being fired are significant less than risks of starting a company and the risks that are creating the layoffs apply to companies as well.

If you’re worried about the short-term losses and impact on cash flow predictability you could look into income protection insurance.
And I asked it to make it sound even more like Ballmer:

"I'll tell you what, folks. I am PISSED that people still don't understand the power of this technology! You remember Clippy? Ha! That thing was a JOKE compared to what we have here. This is the real DEAL, folks.

And let me tell you, Microsoft is all IN on this technology. We invested in it because we know it's the FUTURE of knowledge work. And yet, here we are, with a million people using it every day and still, some folks are questioning its intelligence.

I'm here to tell you, this is not some DUMB ROBOT with no understanding. It's a highly advanced machine learning model that's always getting SMARTER. And let me tell you, even GOOGLE is feeling the HEAT from this technology.

This technology is here to STAY, folks. It's going to change the way we work and it's time for everyone to get on BOARD. So, to all those who still doubt the capabilities of this technology, I say this: WAKE UP and see the potential of this technology. It's time to stop living in the PAST and embrace the FUTURE of work, with Microsoft leading the way."
The 2016 EgyptAir plane crash of flight MS804 which had been, at the time, attributed by Egyptian authorities to terrorism, was eventually found to have been caused by the pilot smoking a cigarette in the cockpit, French investigators have concluded.

https://greekreporter.com/2022/04/30/2016-egyptair-plane-cra...

Crashing isn't the only risk:

In-flight air quality measurements in approximately 250 aircraft, generalised by models, indicate that when smoking was permitted aloft, 95% of the harmful respirable suspended particle (RSP) air pollution in the smoking sections and 85% of that in the non-smoking sections of aircraft cabins was caused by SHS (Second Hand Smoke).

Typical levels of SHS-RSP on aircraft violated current (PM(2.5)) federal air quality standards approximately threefold for flight attendants, and exceeded SHS irritation thresholds by 10 to 100 times.

From cotinine dosimetry, SHS exposure of typical flight attendants in aircraft cabins is estimated to have been >6-fold that of the average US worker and approximately 14-fold that of the average person.
