Thanks a lot for your input. I agree that it can be a good idea to make it clearer that this is like a local / offline tool since that is the biggest difference compared to other tools. Will definitely try to make this clearer.

I am not sure what you mean by the "WASM locally manipulated notifier"?

Digital signature is a good idea for feature, I have added it to my feature todo list.
How do you feel about your lack of farming knowledge? When was the last time you made rope by hand? How is your blacksmithing?

If using a tool makes you feel dull then you should probably fix that maladaptive mental hurdle.

This is pretty exciting research -- it would be great if we could add more glass to our buildings without the energy costs associated with heating and cooling. I think people underestimate how much energy loss is caused by windows..

If you have a wall assembly that is 25% R-2 glass and 75% R-20 insulated wall -- the total R-Value of that assembly is only R-6.15.

Say you doubled the wall insulation and superinsulated 75% of the assembly to R-40, that would surely make a big impact, right? Nope, total R-value of the assembly only increases to R-6.95, an improvement of only 13%.

If on the other hand, you merely increased the R-2 glass to R-3, the total wall assembly would improve to R-8.3. An improvement of nearly 35%.
> No, it isn't, and it's embarrassing at this point to continue insisting this.

Your macro is not the macro that Gitlab is referring to. It's disingenuous to interpret it otherwise.

All of these tech companies "overhired" (in hindsight) because they achieved unprecedented growth 2021~2022. If you're Gitlab - who sells to software development organizations - and the whole market has thrown hand over fist into the software development organizations, you have no choice but to chase that market. If that market (this is GitLab's macro) cools then you simply cut back.

Y'all think there is something nefarious going on and I don't get it.
> There are pros and cons to using random IDs as a PK. For RDBMS clustering on the PK (InnoDB), it's a terrible idea. If you're going to sort by the PK, it's usually a terrible idea (UUIDv1 isn't as bad since it includes the timestamp, but that assumes your access pattern is based on insertion time).

In which use cases you want to sort by PK? Isn't sorting by fields like created_at sufficient?
Honestly I couldn't understand you answer.

> In popularity Unix is not the main OS for most developers.

Because of FreeBSD don't want to be helpful? Had idea of Jails but had no resources to make it usable for developers? What's your opinion, knowing FreeBSD backstage?
Only things that ever gave me burnout were incompetent coworkers, and organizations that were doomed to fail.

I'm curious what gripes you have here. Compared to GMail linear threading based on subject I find the correct threading based on headers fantastic.
It's not perfect because it's one time paper that takes spaces or goes to waste quickly. But it's indeed a good solution nonetheless.
Teams is the result of Microsoft taking a look at Slack and saying, how can we make this feel more like Excel?
But even Bill Gates is now saying that it’s just like a cold and only risky for the very elderly. And the virus did leak from a lab? Two of the three points you’re trying to straw-man are rooted in obvious fact.
Ok. What KIND of insulin? The old school stuff sux
I'm not kidding, one of the reasons I left my last job was when our parent company forced Outlook, Sharepoint, and Teams on us (vs. Google mail, Google Drive, and Slack). That change on its own isn't the worst thing of course, there were other reasons why I was considering leaving, but it was definitely one of the last straws.

Those MS solutions are just worse than the competition, and getting frustrated at your bugged technology because the parent company decides it can save some money is just trading employee satisfaction for dollars.

That sounds like a development environment problem, not a production environment problem.
What is covid and who is affected was known from the very begging. I am sorry you didn't pay attention or were blinded by media.
Most likely all those people can afford good dentists, dermatologists, dieticians, etc.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's the norm at that level to have makeup artists for headshots either.
Its almost like senior management consists of people that mostly copy whatever everyone else in their ivy league fraternity is doing.
Show HN: Mention Users in Angular
Senior SWE, 20+ years of experience, based in the bay area, laid off from Meta in November. I reached out to my network and had a couple applications in same-day. One of those panned out and I just started this week.

I also did a bunch of cold job applications, but didn't get a callback from any of them. The whole process led to a ton of anxiety and was really nerve-wracking, especially reading about layoffs from other tech firms in the same time period. I kept worrying that my new company was going to hit layoffs and that my offer would be rescinded, especially when the recruiter told me they were reducing hiring. Having it take about 3 months just drug that anxiety out.

I still have a bit of anxiety about getting laid off, but no more than I'd have anywhere else.
My company does not have many formal scheduled meetings. Mostly doing huddle to adhoc chat, discuss problems, screen share and pair program. It works well
Cue 7 paragraphs about how when they were on vacation in Ibiza they sought ought the most authentic local chefs and took inspiration from all of them to develop this never-before-seen recipe.
It's class war. The hedge funds see workers purely as a cost. They ignore the value workers create. This class war has been going on since Reagan and even before that (oil crisis early 70s).
It's just only now spread to tech workers.
See the chart here:
www.epi.org/productivity
This is a pretty silly take.

So all these tech companies who've laid people off are wrong and it's company specific issues? Don't think so.
You gotta get out of doing the work yourself as quickly as possible, it's a young man's game and if you've got the smarts you start your own business to avoid having to do 100% of the manual work yourself.

Former CDL-A driver here. I fell for the truck driving meme back in 09 when the economy shat the bed, I thought it would be a relatively easy way to earn 50 to 60k per year without any college degree. I was for the most part wrong. The companies lie to get you in the drivers seat, lied about CPM, lied about sign on bonuses and hometime. When it was all said and done i was making roughly $200 more per week driving a truck than i was working retail at walmart, and at least i got to go home and sleep in my own bed.
Nah, I'd just stop using it and go to something else.
I'm anti-science in that I strongly believe that focusing most of our attention and funding on hard science (to the detriment of things like psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, etc) has contributed to the production of the substantial percentage of comments in threads like this that are excessively reductive and heuristic in origin, but not realized as such.

If we had invested more of our resources into understanding people, perhaps we wouldn't be having so many problems (many of which are substantially imaginary) with people.

On the brighter side, there's a popular proverb that says: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
Fail Fast they say (sure, but it's not that easy)
Things are of course a lot different than they were 100 years ago. Bringing electricity and phone service to farms and ranches probably seemed pretty important. I'm not sure how a lot of modern coastal urbanites would feel about a very expensive project to bring wired broadband to everyone living on the side of a mountain somewhere today. (Especially given that wireless technologies are an option for a lot of people, if not everyone.)

POTS bills also at least used to have a universal service charge line item, in part to subsidize rural service.
In what way do we have a “population crisis”?
I love Slack but Huddle is absolutely terrible. Extremely low audio quality with extreme latency (whereas I have superb quality and low latency on Meet and Zoom on same devices/connections).
I’ve always thought of zoom as the national socialist messaging app. Is it the sharepoint integration? That does seem a bit far left.
Or a Head Mounted Display that consists of human heads mounted on poles.
When my pedantic keyboard warrior gears start turning, I think about the same xkcd a sibling commenter posted.

But I've been struggling with the recent tsunami of openly anti-intellectual, alt-everything pseudoscience in the US. I recently pleaded with my sister to read The Demon-Haunted World by Sagan.

There's something important in patient advocacy of truth.
Software developers are often more like solutions specialists who's tool is software, you would need the same skillsets to solve business problems with lowcode, but code is at this point still the tool of choice for those teams of solutions specialists.

Think of it this way, even if it were possible to run an enterprise through lowcode tools, an enterprise would still hire an agency or consulting firm to build it, and so the decision of what tools to use still goes to the specialists.
Truck driving is frictional. The management that screwed up something as obvious and profitable as railroads created a frictional desire for diesel trucking to work around their mistakes.

Likewise, strangely, coding is also frictional. The business people who could "write their own code in COBOL" or "write their entire business in excel spreadsheets" would already be programmers if they could program which they can't so they don't AND management will not be up to the task of deploying profitable AI, so coders also have guaranteed work.

To some extent, labor only exists via mismanagement of capital. Humans CLEARLY aren't capable of properly managing a rail logistical infrastructure, so truck drivers have permanent employment. I would theorize that humans aren't capable of deploying AI generated programs, we've barely been able to deploy code written by competent humans, so coders should have permanent employment.

Are the popular types of insulin still under patent, and if so, how is California’s initiative a solution? Are they hoping to license the necessary patents?
Shells usually do not re-split on whitespace after filename generation. So, you could also just use an asterisk for your number one use case:

dash$ touch "hi ho"
dash$ touch "there, buddy"
dash$ for f in *; do echo $f; done
hi ho
there, buddy

(EDIT: That was in a scratch directory.) But as @npongratz alludes to in sibling https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34727735

find . [predicates] -print0 | xargs -0

is bulletproof and directory scanning, output, and input loops all run at full C speed. (One predicate is `-maxdepth 1` to not recurse.)
So they can't afford an actual subject-matter expert for their articles?
> Currently, these technologies are approaching parity on cost fairly quickly. It's basically at the prototype stage presently, so much more expensive, but widespread adoption and economies of scale could change that within several decades.

Sorry, but how could that possibly work from even a first principles perspective? Oil is literally just pumped out of the ground, whereas you have to overcome the entropy of highly disperse atmospheric CO2, and then you have to add the enthalpy of the hydrocarbons!
100% accurate. I've worked in higher education for years, and it's a constant drum beat of chasing a world that doesn't exist.

20 years ago, it was just all about going to college. Go to college. Get a degree. Get a good job. That was the path.

10 years ago it became, go to college, but pick the right major. Finish that major. Get a good job.

5 years ago it became, go to college and major in engineering or cs. Finish those majors. Make money.

For the last year or two, it has really been all about trades. Welding, plumbing, HVAC, electrical.

It's just a matter of time before those graduates can't get jobs and it swings again. I'm betting ethics and philosophy and/or social work will be the next big push.
They just did reprint reserved list cards in mtg 30th. Revised dual lands did take a significant hit to price. If anything I saw more people buying revised duals because of this.
> The real problem is that in dimensions that high, the point set probably already is the hull and all this is a zero signal gain operation.

Well, if I have 10,000 samples of a 768-dimension volume, most of those points will probably be inside the volume, and not per se a vertex of the hull.

I’m very comfortable rolling my own solution, so thank you for pointing me to Jarvis’ algorithm!
Teams isn’t that bad imo. It’s no Google meet but it’s decent enough. I prefer both of those over Zoom.
> -Sharing a file in the chat for a meeting puts it into some incomprehensible internal sharepoint structure that is tied to that specific meeting instance and is difficult to ever find again.

And prevents you reusing file names. If you uploaded "image.png" or "notes.txt" to a "Team" (room) once, it will make it awkward if someone tries to upload another file with the same name in the future.
Surely they are just trying to gradually switch everything to Teams. Seems weird to use a slack clone for video chat only but continue to use slack for the chat.
My favorite sales blog is gong.io - they ran hundreds of thousands of sales calls through voice recognition to see what really works, and there are a ton of gold nuggets there, just search cold calling. Some of the my favorite cold calling advice: Opening with "How have you been?", followed by "the REASON for my call..."

Also, from my own experience, even when you get a hard No, you can buy one last question with "Out of curiosity..."

There's no replacement for just diving into the dials though. Set yourself a solid target like 300 dials a week and focus on building relationships with individuals and partnerships with companies. Learn the difference between a transactional and consultative sales approach.
So all this workforce is set to a mission to colonize mars or what?
It absolutely does sound bad.
Woodworking is a popular hobby with developers; at some level at least they're both about creating things.

The "eventually" part is a nod towards retirement and then joking not having a choice.
It's really nothing to worry about for the average dev. Companies are taking this opportunity to cull the heard of the under-performers. Doing so at this time means they'll stir up less controversy since every tech company is doing the same.

Github grips immense power and money. Just look at their position.

1. Owned by Microsoft but allowed to operate independently.

2. Microsoft owns VScode and now works closely with OpenAI, OpenAI is used for Copilot.

3. Created Copilot. For some this is not a big deal but for me in my tech stack it's been life changing. I save about 15-20% of my time by using it. This is an insane advancement that's only rivaled by ChatGPT for productivity (Another OpenAI project). Because Microsoft owns VScode, of course there's tight integration with Copilot there.

4. It's freaking Github, they house code for a huge portion of all code projects. 85% market share I think. They use the code to train copilot and whatever else.

Now you tell me why a company in this position had to lay off 10% of staff today. They didn't. They wanted to. That's fine, they're a company and sometimes culling the heard is the right thing to do. It just grinds my gears when companies act like it's what they needed to do. I'd rather they be honest and just say their true intentions.
Good post. I haven't used Carto, Every Door, nor StreetComplete, but some of the consistency and non-ESRI-ness that OP is seeking seems to me to be present in Regrid fka Landgrid:

The mouth gets a pixel wider every day.
I feel that people do not understand Macro economics and the complexities of this market with inflated asset prices from years of near zero interest rates. You cannot compare numbers

Economic indicators may look solid, but why? I assert it is because the Fed rate is STILL below the inflation rate. This is why the housing market has not totally seized up yet. The next inflation numbers will be high and then you will see people scrambling again.
I would just wait for the inevitable fork.
SF Housing is already dropping, but unfortunately it's so expensive that even a substantial drop of 10-20% would still leave it as one of the most expensive markets in the country.

The supply shortage is so severe that it would take a crushing local depression to balance out.
I did that to work for a non-profit in a field I was a bit interested in. It's okay in the beginning but I soon started to regret the huge paycut. Wouldn't recommend.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jerry Saltz is one of the best museum tour guides I’ve ever encountered. Some years ago I accidentally stumbled into a tour he was giving of the Warhol exhibit at the Whitney (Chanel had apparently hired him to give a tour for their design interns) and not-so-discreetly tagged along. By the end there were maybe a half dozen of us who had recognized him and hitched a ride. It was really eye-opening having a guide who seriously knew their stuff. Not sure if he still does museum tours, but I highly recommend the experience if you get the chance.
> There is a Senate Parliamentarian who makes calls on interpretations

Sorta. They can be fired at will (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/05/08/k...) and they're making advisories, which the Senate can just... overrule.
Or maybe a prediction.
I hope it will.

Coze I would be so happy to forget about the planned obsolescence of compilers with their language syntaxes.
In general, problems are caused by people, policy, or technology. I think you hit on a people+policy misalignment.
AFAIK the old school stuff (e.g. synthetic human insulin) is cheap, so I assume that's not the sort they're talking about. Probably they're talking about analogue insulin, which is very expensive.
It used to be, not anymore. I wasn't aware of that when I started the thread.
This doesn't directly answer your question, but Microsoft is known for enforcing policies differently across its companies. For example, LinkedIn employees sharing an office and cafeteria with Microsoft employees don't have to pay for lunch when they badge in at the cashier, but Microsoft employees do pay.
How many traffickers selling overpriced dinghy rides across the Channel advertise within the UK, where the UK law can actually reach?

No, that amendment was clearly intended to prevent lefty liberals like me from saying that the asylum seekers themselves are in any way decent or good or deserving of support.

Same party used similar language for a thing called "Section 28", so they don't get to pretend they don't know what effect it would have.
This isn't bureaucracy, it's creeping fascism.

And I don't say that lightly.

It won't succeed, but that's the current reality.
Yeah, you can use Thunderbird with Office365 authenticating with OAuth2.

Well your own link states how fixers are not really a good idea, but you want "disasters" and trasform them in "fixers".

And it is not like you can find such disasters easily, nor that you can easily be able to make them into fixers, without years of previous experience.

The whole approach, "everyone is scared but you know ..." is based on the assumption that you know more than anyone else (possibly including many people dealing with this kind of stuff for decades), I doubt that anyone can learn what is needed in this field overnight, by reading a book, and should it be possible, everyone would do it, not just you.
I wish there was a chatGPT that cited its sources, or just spat out a bunch of links instead of giving an "answer."

Is there an enterprise deployment of teams that makes it not suck on linux?
365? Also can’t tell if you’re serious or joking.
Do you know python and AWS ? My company is hiring.
I worked two jobs last year, and it was great. My employer was so desperate for workers that they didn't even care that I was working a second job.

If you're suggesting people worked two jobs out of desperation, we need to see the evidence.
>OpenAI’s chatbot offers paraphrases, whereas Google offers quotes. Which do we prefer?

I was remembering a quote too vaguely to find the original with Google. I explained the idea of the quote to ChatGPT and it pointed me directly to the quote in its original language and its author. I could then easily look it up on Google.

You can have a channel, of sorts. You add people to a giant group message and change the title.

Voila. Channel. You need to know someone in the channel to add you to the channel, but suddenly you can avoid that threaded bullshit.

This is the end game that multiple British governments have been aiming at for decades. "Let's ban encryption" has been on the table at least as far back as Cameron, I think maybe also Blair. It kept getting knocked back (because obviously a blanket ban on encryption is ridiculous) but then it comes back in a slightly different form. It's been proposed at least 3 times that I can think of in the last 20 years. There's a documentary from the 90s called taking liberties which is part of what got me interested in privacy, if you watch it you'll see how long that's been building.
Layoffs.
I still use sublimeText which was gaining some traction before VScode took over.
This is a really interesting project with a lot of potential.

If I were a sponsor looking for a podcast I would want my search process to look something like this:

- Search for a term relevant to my line of business

- See a list of podcasts ordered by % of utterances which contain my key phrase throughout their last N episodes

- Annotation of how many listeners each podcast had in last N episodes
Agreed but also it’s weird how a lot of lay-off %s are 7% +\-1 though?
