I fear that darling has a harder effort in order to run gui apps.

Apple is less afraid of changing and breaking their API's. Which makes maintaining an interop layer all the more challenging.

I would love for darling to regularly update their site or blog instead of occasionally peaking in their discord for progress.
The Prison Industrial Complex is aware that with rehabilitation many offenders will repeat.

Furthermore, in the USA a fair percentage of the incarcerated suffer from mental illness.

We could mitigate both of these. But we don't.
We need a competitor. I find PagerDuty to be over priced for what they are, and Atlassian is doing their best to destroy all of their services including OpsGenie which was very good until Atlassian bought them

Those are the big 2 in the space, who else is there?

> You could try peddling that to those who never lived in the USSR.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-politics-sovietuni...

Those who lived there want it back.

I grew up in a country that imitated the Yugoslavian system, mixing Soviet system with social democracy. Until the country turned capitalist, directly declaring that 'free market was the best' and the objective was to become 'little America', everybody was happy. From food to education to housing, everything just worked out thanks to the state providing most of them. Including marrying and raising children. Then the 'free market' came and everything went down the same hellhole that Japan and other countries are going down into right now.

> You were at the mercy of the local party boss, one careless word could cost you your career

Wow that's so bad and its so more different than being at the mercy of your capitalist boss.

The discussion is at a 'people dont have food to eat next month and can go homeless at any time' level. Not 'my career' level. Yeah, you could lose you career and maybe get sent to somewhere in the middle of central Asia. And yet you would still have a job, house, your children would still go to school. Beats entire family working and not being able to feed their children like its in the US or outright going homeless.

> Paternity leave is something new, never have a lie that blatant.

It says 'maternity/paternity' leave in my comment. USSR had maternity leave.

...

> "Peddle"

How about you don't peddle the cold war propaganda that's 60 years old now? I grew up in a Soviet-like system, and despite I am doing FAR better at the top percentiles of my society, I would go back to that Soviet-like system in a blink so that millions would not have to suffer and go hungry and the society would not devolve into a hellhole.

Heres a frame of reference for you: Nobody is conducting economic war against the US. The US is not in an existential war. There is not global catastrophe that has been affecting the US. There is no alien invasion. No apocalypse. And yet this is the reality there:

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/13/americas-dirty-little-secret...

I'd much rather 'peddle' what i 'peddled' than smear what was better.
> he(?)

Yes :).

> But what he is describing is kind of a fantasy that we tell ourselves to get through the unpleasantness. Or more accurately, it's how the working world works in theory, but not in practice.

I think I've failed to communicate clearly that I don't buy into the fantasy. I mostly agree with your description, though I think reality is somewhat better on average than High School. The "school dynamics" at workplace are moderated a bit, as the market adds a degree of back-pressure to which adults are more sensitive than teenagers - basically, someone has to do some things right at least some of the time, or else companies go under and people lose their livelihoods.

My point is that you (the generic you) can't at the same time extol teamwork, being a force multiplier, etc., and also complain that the working world is about "who you know" and not "what you do". Those are two sides of the same coin. Strong teamwork requires people to adjust to each other, and over time this does create an in-group of sorts. People learn to trust each other, and become "better than random" choices for each other for future opportunities.

If the professional world wants to double-down on humanity, team-building, collaboration, then it must also find a way to live with how the humane, social aspects actually work - people build relationships, webs of trust, and tend to favor those connections strongly, because they're the known quality, the variance-reducing, safe alternative to random outsiders. Conversely, if the professional world wants to double down on blind fairness as a principle, then it must stop with the "good team work > individual competence" mantra. I don't think you can have both - they're fundamentally opposed.

And personally, I haven't made up my mind on which perspective I prefer. (Or even my reasoning here is sound.)
Thieves learn what cars they can steal and they will learn and have learned what devices they can steal, too.

> Obviously it's not worth killing someone for a $3k laptop though

Which has happened, and it's a lot less worth it if it's $10 of scrap.
For floats you do end up having to use `as` which is unfortunate. However the amount of things that can go wrong is too vast for `TryInto`.

The article also says "If you upcast u32 to u64, you can use the keyword as". I would avoid this. In these cases you can just use `.into()`. This is infallible and will raise errors if refactoring causes that conversion to no longer be infallible. (In which case you can fix it or migrate to `.try_into()`)

I think the floating point case is similar. Keep `as` super suspicious, but sometimes you do want to do it.
You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about Canonical's motives and reasoning.

Perhaps the question about language indicates that they're only looking for people who wouldn't have closed their tabs.
I agree with the sentiment. You can make stylesheets for LaTeX, without changing the macros you call in your content, but it’s a somewhat arcane process. Go on the TeX Stack Exchange site and someone will explain how to do it if you want. I don’t need that. ConTeXt is better at this.

I’ve been doing my résumé in ConTeXt. Seems like it’s more expected in ConTeXt that you mess with the styling.

Thank you :)

I started writing a "Goals" and "Anti-Goals" section, as I almost always do for sizeable projects [^]. But then I thought two things, "that's boring", and "waitaminute... when people say 'goals', what do they really want to achieve or fulfill? Dreams and desires.". And so it came to be.

Yes it is. A scapegoat is a “lightning rod” of blame. In this case, people were laid off beside them, so scapegoat isn’t an accurate term.
Depends on how bad the people you laid off are. Look at it this way, if 20% of programmers are bad, and you lay off the bottom 10%, and rehire let's say at a disadvantage (50% bad), you now have a 75% bad workforce instead of an 80% bad workforce.

This assumes you can identify bad workers (for some metric of bad which may or may not be ethical or sensible)
not for me. I keep getting "ChatGPT is at capacity right now". Could it be localized? like, only from the US?
If you find the feature set worthwhile, then yes. For people who need this type of app in their work it can save tons of time and the price doesn't seem predatory either.

Or use a different app. Here is a free and Open source one called Ice Cubes.

There's another side too. If those fired were overpaid underperformers, there can be an improvement in morale for those who weren't fired.
Never heard of nanoc, interesting!
I think the point was priorities, not to distract from this.
I use Wine on Linux for Carlson Hulls (Delftship and Freeship being not as useful for stitch-and-glue). I tried to install wine on macos recently, and I want to say it wasn't supported for the most recent versions, but I don't remember the details.
The timeline of events might explain why they're proceeding with caution. Last Wednesday, 46 people were let go[1]; that Friday, Riot tweets that their development systems were compromised "earlier in the week." Insider job, perhaps? I wonder.

By that logic he should have just kept is salary what it was. His salary now is about .05% of the companies revenue. That would be like the CEO of Mailchimp making 350k
I agree. This is a great filter for companies you do not want to be a part of. Keep in mind that your future bosses will evaluate you based on useless and silly metrics like these.

There are a great many other places to work that DO value your actual accomplishments.

Btw, this is the only layoff discussion you hid, from all the many others. I wonder why.
They use the same format for Accounts Payable Clerk as they do for Director of Devops. Slightly lazy, sure, but not really blog post worthy. If you're an experienced hire just put do not recall and move on with your life.
Why is this on HN? This isnt even remotely related, all I see is Europeans not understanding the f'ed up wage policies of the US, and people from the US acting entitled like they do in restaurants.
Maybe it isn’t totally polite, but it IMO it reads in this case more like slight correction than “In the fucking article,” which would be pretty aggressive, haha.
I think Wine on Linux has beat OS/2 as a better Windows than Windows.
Wow I did not consider last ditch effort error handling, but that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for giving me something to think about!
Yeah sounds like we are both expressing the same idea.

I’m usually pretty touchy about software analogies for biology but “decompression machinery includes the laws of physics” is a good way to frame it.
For sure, I know the struggle of interviewing and doing your best to make sure to save everyone's time during the process and there's a hard balance to achieve. I'd say Fly had an above average process overall from my personal experience.

So I've started carrying cash because in NYC, most places now have 3-5% "Cash Discount which is already applied to the price" which means a 5% fee for using your card.

Yeah, look, it's hacky, yes, and maybe runs only with a certain setting.

But, well, you may be right, when I think a second time about this. Thanks...
You just read some extremely refined copium in text form.

This person has some major cognitive dissonance about the health and safety of smoking cigarettes and is dissociating from the dissonance with poetic drivel.

Tobacco is unhealthy to consume. It's okay in small, occasional doses, your body can probably shrug off a few draws from a ceremonial peace pipe like it was nothing.

But smoking every day or multiple times a day is unhealthy and will hasten your demise, and there is no working around that, not even by using organic free range gluten free fair trade halal tobacco grown by vestal virgins in the Himalayas.
I've often thought a 48bit architecture might be ideal. 256TB of address space. Use 48bit posits instead of double precision floating point for similar precision. A 48bit pixel could be 16bit rgb or 12bit rgba. I've also tried to re-encode the RISC-V instruction set and I think 24-bit opcodes with immediate data following them would be better than what they've got. Here's to 48bit CPUs! Hahaha.
Anticheat has to be kernel-level or it's useless
It's a reasonable local business for a waste disposal company. How is a VC funded company expecting "tech-like" returns?
I would be able to give "impressive" answers to those questions, yet I'd still close the tab. Canonical is shooting themselves in the foot.

The next worst thing they could have asked was my Myers-Briggs personality category.
> I know what I'm doing

`any` can also be an indicator of the exact opposite.
I've literally never been asked my college GPA, let alone high school. My first job out of school wanted to know that I had a degree, which I did, and asked me practical questions. Every job since has asked me about previous jobs and then asked me practical questions.
Founders are a small percentage of the population in general. Seeing as this is a public forum I'd expect to see a similar percentage (a bit larger) represented on HN.

I get that these people are not in your circle or whatever, but the term 'golang' appears nine times on Go's own case studies mood board: https://go.dev/solutions/#case-studies

Personally I suspect people more readily adopt 'golang' because all the mailing lists used it as the prefix, the domain was golang (as opposed to go-lang), the official subreddit is /r/golang, and the developers have such a habit of prefixing things with 'go' (as in GOPATH, goroutines, etc). I used to believe it was because there was another programming language with the same name, but I never did find examples of its use in the wild, so I'm no longer sure that affected anything.
I've never seen this outside investment banking or management consulting, and even then, it was a very local thing (Scandinavia)

edit: Because they wanted "full picture" of the candidates. Meaning that they don't put too much weight on your HS grades, but that having been a consistent performer throughout your life, is a positive trait for them.
I met a former HR person from a company that had these kinds of questions, such as your SAT scores. She told me the point was hiring people who are competitive enough to care about that stuff.
Every windows program has to (eventually) call a Linux library, since Wine emulates Windows on top of Linux.

Take for example "decoding an MP3 frame". A 32bit program calls a Windows API to decode an MP3 frame, that gets intercepted by Wine and forwarded to libmpg123. Since it's a 32bit program, you need (or needed, until now) the 32bit mpg123 library to handle the request.

So it's not a matter of a Windows program actually calling a Linux library, but rather Wine forwarding the function call

Forwarding 32bit calls to 64bit functions sounds simple, but it is incredibly complex. It might be simple for a function that only takes an int as argument, but on Windows, functions often take pointers to Windows structures, and those structures are often different between 32 and 64 bit. You have to translate them on-the-fly....
For simple things it's pretty safe. I tried pasting in HTML from the homepage of Hacker News and having it turn that into a list of JSON objects each with the title, submitter, number of upvotes and number of comments.

I'd say making money is the CEO's primary job. You can't just hire a "CRO" or whatever other random C title and blame them when things go south at the company. I doubt the person fired had that much influence on company headcount, product strategy and operational budgets.
In a politer society with more reasonable laws using a gun to take someone's money would have exactly one outcome: a 9mm hole in that robber's head.

Anything beyond that is charity.
We are working on a solution for GCP and Azure :) GCP recently announced Iceberg support with BigLake and support for federation across multi-cloud lakes so it would be perfect use cases.

NASA to test nuclear rockets that could fly astronauts to Mars in record time
From what I can tell the Fediverse/Mastondon community are completely welcoming to proprietory clients. The founder of Mastondon even boosted the announcement.

Its generally best to let the community speak on these sorts of issues, they can be quite opinionated (see "Quote Toots", and "Scraping")
That is what background checks are for. They are irritating, but at least that would let the job candidate apply without having to fill in all the crap from the get go.
> Lina Khan's writings, and the fact that Biden admin appointed her, indicates these recent assumptions about allowance of monopolies can probably be thrown out the window.

Right, that's what the article is trying to imply. But it doesn't have a quote that actually says it, so I'm saying this is pretty thin. There are a lot of people (clearly including you) who would like to see antitrust law revisited in the courts. I just don't see it from this article.
I am willing to agree. I am not exactly a super casual user, but I ran into issues with setting up Wine for some games. Proton, by comparison, allowed me to play Fallout 3, Final Fantasy XI and Adom with no special settings ( although admittedly, Adom technically did not need that treatment ). It is crazy how good it has become.

Just for proton work alone, Steam gained a lot of goodwill from me. And that is not to diminish Wine. There is clearly a need for a tool that has the ability to run custom verbose scripts, but Proton mostly solved the gaming piece.
No, because my point here is that we shouldn’t be steering this thread into a discussion of police corruption, which has nothing to do with the article.
Yep, the vast majority of people on HN will be computer/tech nerds simply making the rounds on one of several stops for daily interest-related news/discussion.

I use it on Fedora to run Arturia software synthesizers, which I load into my DAW (Bitwig) via yabridge. It runs pretty much everything in their V Collection series (at least I haven't found anything that didn't).
I was also curious about this statement. According to wikipedia, one third of the Plötzensee Prison inmates are there due to fare evasion. Or rather, they were when the articles that wikipedia cites were written. Of course, being a juvenile prison in Berlin, it might have the highest rate of fare evader inmates of any prison in the country (which would explain why the articles write about that prison specifically).

Private ownership and the protection of those property rights are exactly what capitalism is. As long as there is no coercive entity dictating what YC can and cannot do with it's capital then HN absolutely is a product of capitalism.

Capitalism doesn't mean "earn[ing] enough through its service to support itself". Why do you think that people are not free to finance sites that promote other branches of their business under capitalism?
Wine itself did the calling in it's own dlls/exes.

Now there's a more clear split between the unix side and the windows side.
A common situation in my country is that quite a few high school math teachers are psychotic sadists -- maybe a few of the hardest-working students will clear the bar for the equivalent of an A or B. Sometimes the students with "the most potential" will have average (or worse) grades because the teacher prepares special, harder exams to push them harder. High school is usually an unrepresentative mess, I'd to love learn about the background of the person that decided this question is valuable.
It's either that or cheaters everywhere.
What is your statement based on? Your analysis of runic scripts?
Think a second about how Wine implements Win32.
It's fine to prefer people give away things, especially in OSS communities - I'd prefer free stuff too, but I don't feel like it's unreasonable to try to charge for it any more than it's unreasonable to ask for donation or have a premium support package for OSS projects.

Mastodon itself isn't offering a paid option, this is a third party who's promising a more well-featured and supported application than any of the current free/OSS ones. If someone wants to copy those features into an OSS client, they're welcome to, but they haven't yet.
There's more than just photo syncing in iCloud for Windows. It's an iDevice backup sync. It can be used to sync files with any app that supports the Files app (and even some that don't but supported certain older app-specific file folders). It does some Apple Keychain syncing with Edge. It does some Contacts sync and backup. It can do some account recovery help if you don't have handy access to another iOS or macOS device but have been signed into iCloud for Windows for long enough.
symbolic gestures constitute a large part of the fabric of society. Saying "thank you" to someone doesn't provide any value, yet you do it, and people appreciate it.
I'd say calling it Ivory is tone deaf, since Ivory comes from the poaching and killing of these wonderful creatures and continues to this day. Hm. People trying to make money off free things...

Ivory is literally illegal to own.
The justice system in general is a huge financial drag on anyone connected to someone accused of a crime. Unless they just cut them loose completely. Court fees. Fees for all kinds of stuff in jail or prison. Lawyer costs. Rehab instead of prison? Pay that (huge, inflated) bill or off to prison they go. Hell I think there are even parole fees, at least some places. It seemingly never ends (I've been lucky not to be close enough to experience it personally, but have seen it from a shortish distance)

I'd bet it's a big part of why the poverty/crime cycle is so hard to break. Families already on the margin pushed off the edge by all the expenses associated with having someone close to you get charged with a crime (again, unless you just totally cut them loose and pretend they're dead, not caring at all what happens to them).
Hey, I'd love to potentially join and help out on this project and learn more about NLP.
lol no. LLMs get things wrong, but they don't lose their shit when you point it out. I find it pleasant rather than frustrating to work on problems with one; the shortcoming for me as a sort of sort of conditioned passivity that arises out of its orientation to search its own knowledge for correct answers rather than asking questions.

Personally, I'm thankful the author made a blog post about this. I can now safely skip Canonical on my next job hunt, so that's time well saved.
