I don't think it is uncharitable at all.

"I saved my whole life, and wanted to make sure I could give a little back to my loving family, but instead the healthcare industry soaked it all up during my final months."

An awful lot of people in this country will never get an inheritance; why is it fair to ask them to pay higher taxes so that the most privileged people can leave bigger inheritances to their kids?

I have no problem with people leaving money to their kids - after they pay their own bills. Don't ask me to pay them so your kids can get a bigger windfall.
You don't need to work form home, you only need to have a job within bike distance of home. This isn't everyone, but it is a fair number of people. Most people are in a long term marriage like relationship, and the other doesn't need to be in this situation.

I agree that there more of what you list you check, the better a bike is, but I think most people could check enough of those boxes if their tried just a little. It would be worth it for them for health reasons.
As layoffs echo through tech and belts are tightened, rightfully so or not, don't you think that would effect a SAAS like gitlab?
Is this not a understandable (and even predictable) reaction to "trust the science" being used as a rally cry and cudgel by science reporting and public health policy?
What I'm suggesting is that we step back from referring to our public radio stations - even NPR member and associate stations - as "NPR stations" (with perhaps exceptions for the regional bureaus and arguably WAMU) and instead think of them as a decentralized network of content production.

If you are listening to Radiolab on KQED or WBUR, then NPR had little to do with it (and, I argue, it shows! In a good way!).

Many local public radio stations are member stations of both NPR and PRX, but we never hear people call them "PRX stations". Why? I think the answer is almost certainly because the NPR and CPB fact sheets and on-air station identifications refer to them that way.

But nearly all of the best programs that are distributed to our local public radio stations are actually being ground out by energetic, lesser-known producers and journalists at much smaller local radio stations, with which they identify much more strongly than they identify with a particular syndicator.

If you like Radiolab, understand how the unique culture at WNYC creates a show like that, and consider that your esteem for public radio may be more nuanced than NPR.
I realize that it is propaganda, regardless of the chosen packaging. Do you?
typically a company also refocuses where they spend effort or make changes how they operate and that leaves a lot of people without meaningful work that matters. not only will those people be demoralized, but those around them too, together with continue collaboration and communication complexity. waiting for that to organically resolve it self would be terrible leadership.
You don't have to wish the inevitable on anyone, and making it easy is a kindness because in your final moments of pain, fear, and anxiety you might find yourself wanting to crawl up the walls screaming while your cancer riddled body fails you.

You might be in memory care, slowly draining out until there's nothing left, committing suicide by tearing out your catheter and refusing medical attention, taking hours to die in agony.

You might find yourself in such brutal pain that the only haven you have is deep in drug induced stupors, leaving yourself a hollow shell with tubes in their face and not much else.

Which part of these curses would you wish on yourself or others? I have seen them all up close and this is why I wish us all an easy exit.
(1) It needs more than real terms increases because of a growing, ageing population.

(2) The government is destroying it in other ways, such as not having a proper recruitment pipeline, outsourcing the lucrative parts to the private sector, and failing to pay staff adequately (literally - nurses going to food banks).
The first winter my ancestors spent in this country, half of them died from lack of food and heat. They quite literally didn't know how to function in a non-temperate climate.

The survivors were too stubborn to die so their descendants are often the same.

This is particularly interesting, the commit modified the `WaylandEnable` option in the file "/etc/gdm3/custom.conf" to "false", disabling Wayland and enabling X11.

But even more interestingly so, the modification is performed with elevated privileges, via `pkexec` command.

Yikes.
I don't think the drop is related to Bard making an error. It is due to the rise of chat based search (as shown in Bing demo by Microsoft). In the chat based search, there will be less ads being displayed. Ad revenue forms the bulk of Google revenue.
Oil is almost there as a daily driver for writing scripts. Main thing holding me back is I can't assume it's installed, unlike bash.

As a sole maintainer of a TB add-on, I can't wait for it to completely stop working until rewritten yet again when old TB API gets removed and new version goes live.
I made one in the past, we’re often asked by schools to make one for them. The limiting factor is the Xbox Kinnects, and needing to solder on a regular USB connector.

Beyond hardware, the other issue is that it is quite an expensive investment for something that lacks direct curriculum/syllabus alignment.
No one has done this analysis -- I keep wondering the same thing. I'm sure it's insanely difficult to get accurate data. If (e.g.) the majority of cuts are in HR/recruiting, that's more of a signal of tightening up hiring for the foreseeable future.
I mean it as a response that I feel the macroeconomic environment for companies are amazing and not tough.
Layoffs make sense if you need to extend runway past the current economic climate (valuations are down and it could be very painful to raise now). Basically if it's make or break.

That doesn't describe the big tech companies who will certainly suffer greater than 10% lost productivity and opportunity cost and could easily weather a long down trend.
You weren’t trying to imply that intellectuals are likely to cause violence against themselves by continuing to say the wrong things to the wrong people? Because it sure looked like that’s what you were implying.

Washington post had a nice economic and historical analysis of what you are talking about a few years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/11/29/the-r...

Neither "enforcement" nor "arrest" carries moral content. But you use both terms freely in justifying your allegedly-moral position, unfortunately implying your conception of "rights" is one based only on those granted by an enforcement body.

It is hard to discern any moral content here, and I suspect there is none.
My perfect workflow is something like Config as code.

EU is not happy with Twitter's disinformation report
Yup, it seems people gloss over that 24*7 care means 168hr per week, i.e. 4x42hr or 3x56 hr of labor per week. The only ways to make this cheaper is 1) lower salaries, 2) fewer hours or 3) have someone else pick up the tab (which can sometimes work on the individual level but not on the societal level)
> research may — inadvertently — stigmatize individuals or human groups. It may be discriminatory, racist, sexist, ableist or homophobic.

Sexist research, racist facts.
right... the mortgage to pay for my house, constructed and made with materials that were once sold, and had VAT collected.

either way, that is not the case for the majority of my income. and dont get me started on when I go to purchase gasoline here in europe, not only am i first hit with 50% income tax, then a cool >20% sales tax, and then the outrageous taxes on the gasoline itself and the related industries. so I buy €100 worth of product, and more than 95 of them go to the government. Thanks! you sure did 95% of the work for me there (not)
I think he's saying that he still holds the record if we adjust for inflation
Anyone that has paid any attention to ChatGPT, or LLMs in general, knows that this is absolutely par for the course. There’s no reliability that you get correct answers with current training methods. They are optimized to create plausible (from a word-statistics perspective), human sounding sentences. They’re also overfit on an incredible amount of data, which is why they are so large—-they memorize web scale data. But we can’t tell the difference between a correctly memorized fact and an incorrectly conjured one. Until someone figures out, and implements, a good way to wire these up to an external fact data store, I don’t see a way around it. But I also don’t think that’s a very hard problem to solve and will likely result in far smaller models. I suspect companies launch these products knowing these deficiencies because right now it’s about market share and UX, and the technical ML problems will be confidently solved. Especially if you already own a search engine.
They need a management shakeup. Pichai is never going to lead that company with breakthroughs. I know it’s not entirely his fault but Google has been a shit show since he took over. Compare that to what Nadella accomplished in Microsoft. It boggles my mind how Nadella is not hailed as the CEO of the past decade (and this is coming from someone with disdain for MS products). Google needs to change right now before they end up as Intel or Yahoo.
Ironically, the same crowd that insists that it's racist and absolutely off limits to suggest genetics play a role in student outcomes, no matter what the studies say, do a complete 180 if you start talking about obesity. The lack of logical consistency says it all - you can't have it both ways! Unfortunately, these people view everything through the distorted lens of "race" (an arbitrary, ill-defined social construct), which necessarily results in having a distorted view of objective reality.
Well, a bash for loop is pretty close to Python:

for x in a b c; do
echo $x
done

Or ranges:

for i in {1..10}; do echo $i; done

Do you mean list comprehensions?
I tried this about a month ago, but it caused my android tablet to hard reboot when trying to connect to my PC.
Due to the curse of dimensionality, more of the points are pushed toward the hull in higher dimensions. So I don't think this is likely to be very effective as a data exploration technique as stated.

There may be more general expected value formulas for higher dimensions, I only know of examples in two-dimensions offhand, https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2021/12/06/expected-number....

There may be smarter reduced form embeddings though to make pretty pictures, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD-uDZ8zXkc&ab_channel=Cynth....
I don't follow. If you're working remotely, you don't need to spend 8h of your waking time with other office drones. You can spend it near people you care about, interacting with your coworkers briefly as needed.
> Burning bridges who might have been references for subsequent employment is almost never a good idea.

He's not burning bridges if he uses a throwaway, or otherwise doesn't attach his name to his report.

But looking at his comment history, I'm guessing he's talking about Tempo Automation (TMPO).
It seems to me that "remote work" is actually two things that get conflated all the time. One is what this article talks about, which is flexible office work. You work out of an office, but you have the flexibility to work from other locations sometimes. The other is working from another state or another country, and only seeing coworkers at infrequent in-person meetings that require travel.

These are very very different situations, with completely different implications for management, compensation, infrastructure, productivity etc. Just about anything you can say about one doesn't apply to the other.
Do you not have any hobbies? I find this to maybe not be practical, but that’s not the point of it.
It's simple: "Science" has lost a lot of its credibility in the past year or two:

Here are some reasons

- Purposeful public misleading of the populus regarding vaccine side effects

- Shaming and censoring of serious, critical voices

- Self-censoring of scientist communities by avoiding publishing of truths that oppose a particular narrative (we have seen evidence of this in the concurrent thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34724174)

- Scientists self-censoring for fear of political repercussions

- Heavy public discouragement and shaming of critical thinking that goes against what certain approved "scientists" say

Over the past year alone I have come across several examples for each of these. The bottom line is the public has been, and still is being misled.

You have been fooled regarding science.

Edit: I forgot the classic silent downvoting of course! Best example for what I just said. Constant attempts to silently suppress differing views. Thanks for proving my point.

If the downvoters were scientifically well versed they would at least attempt to make a fool out of me by countering my arguments with better ones, but alas ;)
I think this is actually the appropriate level of concern. I have also looked at AGI as a nuclear bomb that can think.

Even with our current primitive AI, there are numerous ominous concerns I've also written about.

Looks really cool.

How did you build those nice canvas-style UIs with dragging/dropping/connecting etc? Would like to use something for a personal project.
This does not make an awful lot of sense. I have 1/2 and 3/4. The mediant is 4/6 which is 2/3. Okay. Now I have 1/2 and 6/8. Actually, these are the same numbers, it is just a different representation of 3/4. Now the mediant is 7/10..... Uhm.....
This looks really super interesting!

I'm gonna check out grafana, it looks significantly slicker than Cacti.

I ended up with a significantly more complex home network than I ever expected -

2 48 Port HPE 1820's
1 24 Port PoE HPE 1820's

All of these are linked with 2 1 GBE links in Port Channel

TP-Link Managed Wifi AP's with controller (I wanted roaming support, and PoE support)

Mikrotik HEx Router also linked in Port Channel to one of the core switches (I'd like to get multiple bonds set up, thats the intent, but I've had trouble making it play nice with rSTP - I think its an issue with my MikroTik Config, but its so poorly documented, its hard to say)

For places where I have lots of port needs where I was unable to pull a ton of cable -

3 24 Port HPE 1810's (2 of these connect back to the Core Switches with port-channels)
1 8 Port HPE 1810 (PoE powered)

The 1810/1820's are great, because they do not have cloud management, are fanless (PoE notwithstanding), and are easy to configure (no weird specific CLI to learn/no poorly implemented copy of Cisco IOS UI) via a web interface. Their lack of 10g support is annoying, but also worth the price savings.

From a VLAN perspective, I have six - one for my external netblock (which is just a pass thru from the cable gateway), and another for my internal LAN, plus two additional VLAN's for my home work lab, and another two for 'utility' which is to say, I built them in, but have not found a use for them yet ;-)

There is also a cacti server in a VM, I need to rebuilt it eventually so I have better instrumentation.
If I had to guess, I would say that they mentioned it indirectly, by way of saying they need to first eliminate a fair bit of technical debt. They don't want to build new things on a crumbling foundation, so such features are too far away to announce directly.
Woah buddy, cool it with the WV hatred. You know we broke off from Virginia specifically in opposition to slavery and the secession from the Union, right? Ain't no way we were gonna go off to die for some rich plantation slavers in Richmond.

Apple Mail on OSX 10.4 (originally NeXT) working well today fyi

the industrial strength, bullet proof, complex but profoundly reliable engineering within Apple Mail shows itself to have stability over decades.

Why is this Thunderbird rewrite going to succeed ? A glossy sales pitch makes it less convincing, not more. This is a years' long project with no guranteed outcomes.. in fact, I would suspect that noveau security trappings and trend-based GUI embellishments would almost guarantee a "mayfly life" at great expense, contrasted to the Oak trees of original Internet standards.

cynical? perhaps.. prove it wrong
This sounds like a typical HN accusatory comment. "It sounds like you should have dropped everything to solve whatever issues you have. Did you? No? Well it's your fault then."

Pretty similar to the stupid "did you submit a PR?" response to literally any issue with open source software.

Maybe you didn't mean it like that but that's what it sounds like.
Specific shells.

"Bash is like the neighbor who seems nice and sweet, but maybe they don’t have a life you’d want to have personally. They have some pretty serious character flaws and obviously make mistakes, but in the end they are a nice person who tries hard to make sure the people that depend on them are doing ok.

I'm often challenged by these questions because the arguments often become questions of what's the best analog, which feels like it could be unreliable.
I get your point about keeping chemicals out of our stuff, but that doesn't feel analagous to control over my device.

Keeping it in the kitchen, I'd say it's more like an Instant Pot that only lets you cook with Instant Pot Approved Recipe Packs. That way you'll never have food poisoning, or so says the marketing, and that's legit great novices! But if that's the only imduction cookpot available, something feels very off.

As for kids, parents are responsible for their use of stoves, cars, knives, etc. All are safe, until misused. I guess I'd like a clear line for where things are nerfed. And admit I might disagree with said line.
The Benefits of Graph Analytics – How Industries Can Utilize Network Analysis
It’s an easy opportunity for common to cut costs while making the same excuse as everyone else whether it’s applicable or not. If you do it when everyone is doing it, it’s not news and doesn’t scare shareholders the way it would if you did it at another time.

A word of warning, it must be said that you shouldn't have a "normal" data cable in the same conduit as mains.

With CAT 6 cable you won't have transmission/interference problems, but still it is not allowed by code, unless the network cable is of the type insulated up to 400V, marked with "CEI-UNEL 36762 C-4 (U0=400V)", see (italian):

That's basically all there is to it. I'm using GitLab CI, pulling the official buildah image from quay.io. Everything worked on the second try (after appending docker.io/) for about a dozen "core" container builds.

The downstream ones use Google Jib kicked off by a gradle build for our spring apps.

Anecdotal evidence can be dismissed with anecdotal evidence.
Hate facts.
At the end of the day enforcing guidelines involves telling people "sorry, this is not the kind of question we want here," and people are always going to find this less than welcoming -- justifiably so, since they've objectively been excluded. You can be as nice as you want about it, and I'm not advocating being rude or cruel, but it doesn't matter.
Maybe you can find them reusable for your project from our codebase. We're an Angular project on the frontend.
Microservices is a deployment pattern, not a software architecture pattern. The size of a service is defined by the service's complexity which is bounded by the autonomy of the owning team. Higher autonomy allows for more complex services. Lower autonomy reduces the service complexity a team can handle and moves that complexity outside the service boundaries into the connecting system, increasing the need for inter-team coordination and governance.
google’s profit not only dropped 34% in the last quarter, it is also the fourth consecutive quarter that their profit as dropped. if they didn’t change anything and just continued on, what do you predict the next 4 quarters would look like? what do you think the comp of those at google will look like taking into account that more than 50-60% of one’s compensation is equity?

and this is just one prominent example.
This seems to rely on the idea that there is such a thing as good culture (movies but not youtube apparently; books but not podcasts). And that we can measure culture by looking at one dimensional numbers (like book sales counts). I don't think either of those things are true. Culture is whatever bubbles up when humans do things without a purely economic or practical motive. It's not possible to say one piece of cultural output (a comic book say) is better than another (an opera say). For literally centuries, we have lived in a cycle where older forms are (arrogantly) considered better than newer forms (movies are good apparently and tiktok is bad, but 100 years ago plays were good and movies were bad for instance).

I cannot tell you whether "our" culture is healthy or not. But I can tell you there probably is no definitive measure. And the measures used here have been shown to be bad already.
They're not the same things _to you_ but I don't think there's a distinction to the type of person who's planning to storm the Capitol, or those who support that level of ... Whatever it is ...

The calculator for evaluating truthiness in those people is missing functionality, or at least it's operating on a different set of rules.

To "those people" there are certain lines, which after being crossed, make it impossible to recover any ground.
Bears are also not obligate carnivores, unlike big cats which nearly exclusively eat meat.
I'm curious what this enables can't be done with a thoughtfully-designed data warehouse. Looking at the "With MetricFlow" and "Without MetricFlow" examples, it seems like it's designed for people who are willing to use a new query language as long as it's not SQL?
Culture.

I'll use the relatively non-controversial example of the Chinese. In Malaysia, they're a small minority of the population yet totally dominate business.

Why? Because they are extremely entrepreneurial, work crazy hours, and do this consistently up and down, from the tiny boutique in the streets to the multinational.

Why? I have no idea. But somehow its ingrained in their culture. I don't believe they have a special gene that uniquely benefits them. They're simply culturally centered around business and productivity.

On the opposite end there's the culture of apathy. To live by the day, accept one's state even if bad, and to make zero effort to improve it, even if opportunities present themselves.

These cultural differences very much exist and are plain to see and replicable, and lead to drastically different outcomes. But I guess simple truths are too controversial now, so let's go with the "systemic" nonsense.

Ugh. No thanks. Anything with "Deep" unnecessarily in the name is an instant no-no for me these days.
That's right, a volatile currency is bad for businesses, because the revenue from sales will likely exceed by a lot or fall well below the cost of sales, increasing the likelihood of bankruptcy.
