Any corporation that is bought by another corporation or starts buying smaller ones is a corporation that invests a significant fraction (or even most) of it's money in MBA things. Consequentially, it's not going where it should go (games). Thus, as soon as either of those things happen you should assume it has died.
That's interesting - thanks for sharing! From what we've heard many people actually lose attention, if they have to take notes while focussing on the meeting
Yeah to suggest nginx needs downtime to reload is a little bit of an instant disqualifier for the author…

That said, config files are a thing of the past in the new Ingress controller dominated world!
Indeed this laundry list is a great description of the services that are needed to manage documents. There's probably one more to add to the list (document generation, i.e. starting from a template like a generic NDA or an employment offer and generating a new document by inserting data like company name, expiration date, etc, into the template).
Since this thread talks a lot about how to provide these features on top of Google Drive and Google Docs, you can have a look at my company AODocs (www.aodocs.com) which provides a cloud-based Documentum/Alfresco/etc alternative, using Google Drive as the underlying file storage.
There was a skit just now where they talked about going to a comedy show. Of course the scene cut and they didn't actually go. Except three skits later they talked about "the comedy show we just went to".

The singularity is now.
"If you or anyone feel strongly about a case like this"

Well, I do feel strongly about this case, but I know and respect, that your main motivation here, is providing a place for interesting debates and political activism often just leads to lots of rants and blowing of steam. So I would appreciate it, if topics like these sometimes are visible, so more people are aware of the topic, but I can live with the downranking of this specific article (especially since it was a bit hyperbole).
They need to thank Russia for those profits.

Oil ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Bet they'd just migrate to natural gas if there was serious changes though.
A huge amount of rental stock in the city is rent-controlled (especially cheap stuff), which tend to not see heavy turnover, meaning it'll be hard for you to find one, if you're looking. Additionally, rent control limits upside for the landlord, so they tend to spend less advertising them, again, making it harder to find.

So thats partially why you can't find any cheap rents despite the numbers.

Source: I live in a $1800 1200sqft 2br with a garage, in Noe valley - rent controlled. Can't be evicted, can't have rent raised, can't ever afford to move.

While I don't have anything to point to for what this version (Calmira Reborn) specifically looks like, I know that a number of YouTubers have done walkthroughs/reviews of previous iterations of the project. (One such review, of Calmira II 3.3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMeIwShY434.) I don't expect this new iteration differs much from the previous release; my impression is that this is just a resumption of maintenance and bug-fixing by a different author, so the UX should be the same.

(Also, I can't really blame them for not providing screenshots; it's likely a deliberate choice. If you're using the kind of retro-computing setup that the target audience of this shell uses, you're probably connected to the web through Trumpet WinSock on a 28.8kbps modem — not the ideal environment for loading screenshots! Sure, you could first visit this page on another, faster computer; but you might have to eventually visit the page on your retro-computer to actually download the software onto it. At that time, you'll be very glad that this page doesn't have any screenshots on it!)
We're able to offer lower card pricing with Link because it has much higher conversion rates (7% for logged-in Link customers, 2% overall).

It's clear that the card networks are committed to their higher fees. As a result, we’ve invested in lower cost options. That doesn't have to be Link (although it has tangible benefits), as there are cheaper non-card payment methods:

• Bank transfers (0.5% per transaction, capped at €5.00)

• SEPA Direct Debit (€0.35 per transaction)

• Bacs Direct Debit (1% starting at 20p, capped at £2)

>When you say they haven't launched any major software do you just mean they haven't launched a killer app? The platform has had lots of incremental updates and continues to.

They renamed the entire company from Facebook to Meta least year, and then nothing really happened. No big software or hardware release. If anything it seems the rate of change as slowed down in that year. The Quest Pro finally came out a full year later. And the Pro feels like a VR devkit to experiment with face tracking and color passthrough - a product to play around with and hope a developer hits on a killer app - not to rebrand your company around.

Even just in gaming there's not much. Resident Evil 4 is still probably the only thing close to an AAA release and it's a port of a GameCube game. (Porting games of that era is a great idea though, hope they do a lot more it.)

Ironically I'm very close to buying a Pro as a PC VR only headset. A feature Meta barely even mentions. The other features don't matter to me but the Pro lens clarity is unbeatable. It feels so good to never have to strain to keep your eyes in the perfect spot where the entire lens is clear edge to edge.

There are millions, perhaps even billions of people who aren't js developers.

I'm one of them :)
But the school systems did, if the growth of administrative positions has anything to say about it.
There is definitely no built-in support for those things, but I don't think it's fair to call them second class citizens in the React world. AngularJS bundled an entire http client back in the day, but that doesn't make it more "first class" in the AngularJS ecosystem than in Vue or React!

My experience with Vue has been pretty mixed here, though. It's nice having everything in one file, sure, but it's also a pain having to create a new file whenever you want a new component. In JSX-based frameworks, I tend to start with a component in a file, then split it up into multiple components in one file, then finally into different components in different files as I'm going along - the same as I would do for normal Javascript functions. That's difficult to do in Vue, and I often find components tend to grow much larger and more unwieldy because it's easier to just add more to a single component than to split it into multiple components.

I also like the way CSS is built in, but I'm unconvinced that magic style scoping is all that helpful. I found myself fighting against it, and trying to remember the correct `::v-deep` incantation more often than I'd like. For me, the ideal abstraction here is CSS modules, where the class names are scoped, but the actual declarations behave like normal CSS. I never managed to get CSS modules to work with Vue, but we were stuck on Vue 2 for a long time, and that might have changed with more recent versions.

But I think that's the thing: there isn't really a clear "best in class" here. Different tools work for different people and in different contexts. You talk about the awfulness of CSS-in-JS, but last time I used it, I found it gave a really good balance between conventional CSS (albeit not in CSS format), while still being collocated with JS components. There are definitely downsides, but there are downsides in most of these solutions.
> Since demotion doesn't exist for various reasons

maybe not in faangs, but I've seen CTOs and directors downshift to ICs in multiple startups and public tech companies. Honestly kicking them out instead sounds like a huge waste, if the person can make solid contributions in a different, maybe less intense, role, why not let them?
Thank you very much for sharing these insights and ideas! Really helpful and I highly appreciate it
Ask HN: How do I get better at figuring things out myself?
Another really interesting one is about eggs. If you buy eggs from a supermarket in the US they will usually need to be refrigerated. But if you go buy eggs straight from a farm (or in many places outside the US) they'll be fine outside for weeks. When eggs are first laid they have a protective outer coating on them, called either the bloom or cuticle.

The external cleaning process mandated by the FDA results in the destruction of the bloom, which leaves the eggs vulnerable to all sorts of nasty stuff. Moving abroad one of the weirdest things was seeing eggs, on occasion a bit 'dirty', stacked at room temperature for days to weeks. Turns out it's perfectly safe!
It's simple: Use the website. It will never stop working because people use it and you can automate and scrape it just fine. Kind of sucks that you have to go through the effort - but then there is no social media corporation that isn't toxic in some way to it's userbase.

That's pretty interesting. Australia only has current (high) electricity prices because the government keeps adding legislation to prevent too high increases.

Aka, it's artificially lower than what energy companies would price. Well, given they got a monopoly, that's good.
Cybernetics is alive the same way punk is alive: people say it's dead, but then there are punk bands and punk records and just like a truckload of punks. This book, like those written by his dad, is cybernetic theory in everything but name. I absolutely adore it.
I was rather baffled by so many sources claiming that this would be super difficult to find.

It seemed like such a simple task to drive up and down roads with some radiation detection equipment, log the data and investigate any hotspots.

Well, I guess it was? Or maybe I'm severely underestimating the complexity of this?

The story about lightly guarding potatoes seems to be common European trope, I've heard it in many countries. Variations include the one you mentioned, and one where potatoes were placed in a warehouse with increased security, in order to attract the attention of the peasants who were allowed to steal them.

Consolation prize of a city priced like it came in 1st. I really dislike it.

So leave.

Muni coverage is a joke

Okay, what? The service standard is that all residential neighborhoods are within ¼ mile of a Muni stop. As someone who lived west of Twin Peaks for a while, I've yet to see a better connected city. Even at 3AM I could make my way home and get dropped off pretty much around the corner from where I lived. It's not fast, but Muni will get you nearly anywhere in the city nearly 24x7.

the fact that the Van Ness Corridor is the only real rapid transit bus line
in the entire city is insane

NIMBYs aside, why? There are only maybe two other corridors where BRT would make sense (Geary - in progress, Mission – no BRT but bus only lanes as of a few years ago). The other major Muni corridors (Judah, Taraval, Ocean) are covered by light rail, and those have seen a variety of improvements (e.g. boarding islands, transit only lanes, no left turns, etc.) in the past five years or so.

For actual diverse food there are clusters of places in places like parts
the Mission, but with such crappy transportation actually getting to those
clusters is a massive pain.

Say what? The Mission is incredibly transit rich with 24x7 service along a couple trunk lines, BART (and late night AC Transit buses), etc.

The city mostly shuts down at an absurd hour. Trying to run errands at 10pm
feels like trying to run them at 3 am in most major cities.

I think you're conflating New York with most major cities here. Even the London and Tokyo metros don't run 24x7. Most cities, big or small, tend to shut down at night. New York is very much an outlier.
The other side may have had a point if Nigel Farage didn't immediately backpedal on the "Let's give 350m a month to the NHS instead of the EU" talking point after the referendum.
> All hotbeds of police brutality, I'm sure.

Hotbeds? Probably not. Problematic? Ooooh yeah. All four of your example countries have well established histories with oppressive and heavy-handed policing at various times throughout the last century, with incidents as recent as this year.

If anything, you're providing strong evidenced that this is not an America-only problem, but a more general one that many societies with a police force will suffer from. The fact that duck rescue feel-good stories work outside of America ain't exactly a revelation from the burning bush.

I don't know what ladder (SWE or EM) Chris DiBona was on, but he was L9 and was let go.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34558576

More broadly, there have been a bunch of cuts at the VP and director levels. I have visibility into an org where a VP and three directors where let go.

Also, for context, L9 = Sr Director = Distinguished SWE = Distinguished Scientist depending on the ladder they're on. Historically Google was quite flexible in letting people remain on a technical ladder as they move to people management. Just because someone's title is Principal X or Distinguished X doesn't mean their full-time job isn't people management. I can see evidence of that very clearly in my own org, for example.
This is more of an ANSTO PR piece to promote a new piece of kit [1] based on a recent paper [2].

I'm guessing they loved the opportunity to field test this in a sea of global public interest.

What they're not actually saying is that the source in question could have just as easily been found using 1990s technology in a low flying aircraft at 70m/sec ( ~250 km/hr ) - once you get the target peaks (which were bright against the background) in a 70m square it's a simple matter to wave handheld detectors about to zero in on the capsule by the road.

Also of note "How to find .." is somewhat misleading is there is great deal of gloss here but relatively little substance.

I'm Turkish and fresh figs are readily available in season in Turkey. My dad has thought me to always turn a fresh fig inside out and use my eyeballs to check for bugs before I devour one. It's more common than you think.
Yeah, theory of relativity and tech with use cases mostly in porn and fraud aren't really the same thing.
If it's staged, it's the police lying about the work they're doing in the community, which is an ethical problem.
With there being no obvious deviations from the pattern there’s no doubt it was done on autopilot. That said, a skilled pilot who wanted to deal with the nuisance of hand flying that would get pretty close just by following the flight director (But at that point you’re just manually moving the yoke on behalf of the autopilot, given the FD is essentially just showing you what the autopilot wants to do).
In a way it feels like the writer despises the UK and thinks that the NHS will implode. Not saying that it can't happen but so can the German economy or any other nation for that matter. The UK gave her family shelter when the fatherland was busy murdering millions of Jews. I think it's important not to forget history, especially one's family's.
Sounds like a placebo and nothing like what this article is speaking of.

The closer I look at politics, the more I think democracy is driven by emotion rather than rationale.

I'm somewhat perplexed that 3 years after the UK's actual departure and 6.5 since the vote, with 3 Prime Ministers being defenestrated in shame in a row (I don't count Cameron for that but YMMV) — May for 95% disapproval of her Brexit plan, Johnson for being pathologically dishonest and reckless, and Truss once they realised they'd mistaken the wood scraped off the bottom of the barrel for "leadership qualities" — that there's anyone who thinks that specific party has "a point".

(One can of course say that Lab is also bad, especially as they've yet to win despite all that, it doesn't matter)

It's also noteworthy that Farage, who complained of too many people coming into the country during the referendum (the "Breaking Point" posters), is now upset about people leaving the country and the possibility of a brain drain).
Yeah the difference is that Typescript has a single good implementation (Python has two and the worst one is the most popular), and people actually use Typescript, so your dependencies have types.

I've also found that Python developers tend to write highly dynamic code that is difficult to statically type, whereas JavaScript developers - even ones that don't use Typescript - have mostly realised that that is a bad idea (with some exceptions cough Vue).
sounds really exhausting... if that's the constant expectation and you're actually good at it, why work for Google at all and not fundraise for yourself? cuz you're doing all the same legwork but your ideas go to the man.

I don't think there's a money making play with Chatgpt for the small guy. The move is to improve your output by having it help you with your tasks and adding it's functions to existing apps.

It reminds me of the browser. With browsers there is no money making move but you can use it to improve your work. That and you can't trust the output. Someone needs to babysit it.
I remember Calmira, it allowed us to skip an upgrade cycle on some company laptops once.
The whole 'being about nothing', the vapidness of their personal relationships, how self centered the main characters are. I think it's a good representation of how quickly modern consumer society careened from it's purpose of proving western liberal capitalism was superior to communist polities and descended into nihilism and pleasure seeking behavior once the Soviet Union fall. They even touch on how fragmented urban society had become and how hopelessly isolated we were becoming in the crowd, even before social media.

Germany pays about half of what the US pays for IT workers, and there are a ton of hurdles to hire people from the US as well. It might be a possibility for massive companies, but as far as I know the big German automakers have in-house development teams composed mostly of Germans.

The quote from the digitalization minister is a joke. I doubt anyone is seriously considering moving from California to Bavaria.
Yes. Or: “The hammer technically works when it comes to getting nails into walls, but it’s uncomfortable to hold.”
There is such a drug, sort of: Disulfiram. Though the effect isn't technically to make alcohol taste foul, it's to make consuming it give an almost instant, terrible hangover.

Some inkcap mushrooms which are otherwise edible have a mycotoxin with the same effect, coprine. There are persistent rumours that other mushrooms can contain some of it too, not verified as far as I know but there's enough poorly understood variation in mushrooms that I wouldn't dismiss the possibility.
