It was all totally insane. The actual narrative of the layoffs is this:

High performing public tech companies went totally insane and doubled their head counts. Everyone else was a cargo cult with an open checkbook so they insanity-squared their head counts. No one could possibly manage such a gigantic influx of knowledge workers so resources were obviously being poorly allocated industry-wide. This first had an impact on low performing public companies, followed by the higher performing public companies, and then the cargo cults.

The places that didn't go insane were not only unaffected but stand to benefit immensely.
I know of two people within my social circle who died of Covid after a vaccine was available, but having refused it. Both were men in their 40's (I'm approaching that myself) who had long, lingering deaths. One unconscious on a ventilator for months, and the other unable to do much of anything for a year or so while he waited on a lung transplant list for a donation that never came. The decision seemed quite simple to me before that, but after it seems like I'm living in a different world than some people.
Its a fairly easy to parse typo of IRS.
I thought you were exaggerating — "... an easy 5 figures..." — until I visited his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@ExploringTheSimulation/videos and saw that his previous video, posted 6 months ago, has 2 million views.
djangobuilder.io looks nice - thanks! Yeah so many times it seems like I want to display a grid and a few operations on that grid of data (a lot of times that could be handled with sql or sometimes with a little python). I end up repeating that pattern a lot
I go there because the food is great and the workers are friendly and welcoming
Yes, very hard to show the greatness in a few seconds, I agree.

Will improve the onboarding and the landing, for sure.

Btw, you don't have to 'register', just click on login, you will receive a magic link in your inbox, then all of AJIR's feature are open to use for free.
Companies of this size need to play the long game, but quarterly OKRs and a beuracratic structure ensure they only ever play the short game. The 30% is great this quarter and next quarter, and every quarter until the quarter where it goes away completely. Keeping it this high is extremely risky behavior, literally taunting for regulation.
What do you use to heat your water? If it's natural gas, it's likely close to making sense. If you use propane, it definitely makes sense to switch.
You don't even need a smart pointer: `let bar = Box::leak(foo);`
I was thinking datasette is read only - does it do crud now?
Just create a company for yourself.

When that sort of situation arose for me, it seemed mostly just that companies I wanted to work with weren't really set up to handle individual freelancers. They weren't trying to scam me or let their buddies skim off the top. So, I made an S-Corp. Haven't had a problem since.

Also makes it easier to do stuff like get project insurance, which some clients have also required. It's not expensive or time-consuming, you just have to jump through the hoops the bureaucracy wants you to jump through sometimes. And if that makes you uncomfortable, then you don't have to go after or take those kinds of gigs.
I live in downtown Seattle. In the more dense urban areas such as Queen Anne and South lake Union the grocery stores aren't like that. They have underground parking and street parking. If you get into more residential areas such as Pinehurst, Lake City, etc then you find more grocery stores that are similar to what you're describing.
that guy?
No no they should have never had it above 10% to begin with. The case with Epic never should have needed to happen. They've been over-extended all along.
Although not too relevant to you now, just want to add that the fan noise is essentially imperceptible nowadays. I usually only even notice the fan if I put my finger over the vent. Put differently, the sounds from pressing buttons and generally moving in bed will be louder than the fan.
Is it about taste. Or is it that they are seem has hip, and thus marketed in big way so they can try to get more customers?
The arrow points the other way.

Government spending is a loan, which is repaid thru taxes.

Tax avoidance is the debtor defaulting on that loan. (Both morally and fiscally.)

The more dense the area, the more likely you're in a 15 minute city and the more likely there is a supermarket with no big parking lot. Compare the Whole Foods in the UES Manhattan vs the Whole Foods in Manhasset.

That jumble of ideas is a good example of the arrogance directed not only at C++ programmers, but also Golang and C.
Was hoping the author found a solution to (in my view) Zig's biggest shortcoming with generic types: a parameter that accepts all instances of a generic type must either (a) be declared as "anytype" or (b) also require a comptime parameter for the generic type argument. For example, the standard library passes around instances of std.io.Writer as anytype, so zls auto-completion doesn't work.

Disclaimer: excuse my ignorance but this is an honest question.

Regarding “1. Uses plaintext private keys in memory and has no support for yubikeys, nitrokeys, or other smartcards”.

What is the alternative? Aren’t secrets in memory always plaintext unless you are using something external like a hardware security module chip?
There are other variables

- Room temperature: It makes a difference whether it is summer or winter.

- Throttling ratio : A lot of laptops will lower the CPU speed rather than keep the fan running for a prolonged time, or am I wrong ?
It's worth mentioning that the Inflation Reduction Act is now providing for substantial subsidies for purchasing heat pumps (and other home electrification projects).

Anyone doing the math today on a similar purchase should really check out how much they can get from the government: https://www.rewiringamerica.org/app/ira-calculator
The other elephant in the room is that almost every other country has done the same. Examples : Germany, US and now China. Great powers are built on imitation, then innovation.

The war in Ukraine has resulted in a real push to get off of oil/gas based heating, on top of global warming concerns that have already been doing that.

There are lots of different groups looking to push heat pumps for the above reasons. Governments are concerned about both war and global warming. Ukraine supporters are concerned about Russia getting more money (to wage more war). Green activists are concerned about global warming. All have their own reasons to push heat pumps on everyone.
I think it’s a joke :) the point is companies aren’t charities and layoffs aren’t cruel, just business. Which is capitalist propaganda, of course!
Yep - exactly the issue. They've started shipping much more efficient baseboard systems which run at lower temps by adding more fins, adding CPU fans to increase heat transfer across the plates, etc. but the correct answer is to usually invest in air sealing/insulating the house which will require fewer BTUs in the first place.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying here, though with one minor exception: while Steve and Rick are two people with different experiences, risk acceptance, attentiveness, etc, FSD is FSD.

Speaking of risk acceptance, I wouldn't trust my life or anyone else's to FSD. I don't have FSD in my Model 3, but I have used all of the other driver assist features. There have been too many times when those features have made serious mistakes, so I don't use them. Even at it's best, FSD appears to be about as good as the worst drivers on the road. One anecdote of poor performance, for me, is one too many.
yes there is, just click on login.

And sorry for the rough onboarding, will improve it asap.
Somehow indie hackers fail to understand that product and organization complexity do not scale linearly.

In spite of being true that hungriness, incentives and other existential features are indeed different, which is also true but comes second to the other point: no startup keeps being a startup after it becomes massive, and many have tried.
All of the grocery stores in the core of Seattle are exactly like that--urban centers with underground parking. Some even have apartments on top of them so you could live above the store if you desired.
Was sitting between two Intel macbooks the other day, like sitting between two hoovers, they haven't all gone away yet!
They need to call it ClippyGPT or something. The internet's head would explode.
> Yes! Rust was a major feature / selling point of so many industry tools and services. What does it do? No idea, but it uses Rust to do it so take my money. So many businesses just screamed about Rust. It was honestly kind of a bizarre furor in the early 2020s.
Big oooof, wasn't aware of that. I believe TOTP works much differently based on my CLI interaction with it, but an expert would need to confirm.

moonlighting is very hard, and typically means your business will not get the best of your focus and energy. It also fosters an unhealthy and antisocial attitude; people need downtime to avoid burnout.
Yeah, I see it as the sqlite of the reporting world. Especially with columnar stores and parquet support.

From my understanding JSCAD is aiming to be 1:1 compatible with OpenSCAD. So both strengths and limitations will come with that.

DSLCAD is a new take on the idea. Right now it doesn't support bending, however from my personal opinion, DSLCAD is simpler to develop for and should make it an easier platform to add bending support to.

Feel free to add an issue asking for bending and we can hash out how to make it work. Getting the API down is often as hard or harder then implementing the solution.
If you look at Apple’s results and products and think they are playing for next quarter, I do not know what to tell you.

The App Store model has served them well for years. If it stops serving them well next quarter, so what?
I did not notice anything being destroyed, can you elaborate?

DCBC can be used to protect those with low income/wealth from inflation, offering tiered interest rates. It can be a tool for direct government subsidies & taxation.
Continuous improvements in technology, growth spurt in electric motors, demand gap for automobile motor part suppliers having to seek out related industries, cheap summer electricity via solar panel meet kick in the behind by fossil fuel energy prices.

OOP is not C++ best practice these days. For me C++ best practice is:

- Smart pointers

- auto and const references all over the place

- RAII

- Pure data structs

- Free functions

- A little bit of templating but not too crazy

Modern C++ reads a bit like JavaScript strangely!
An oligopoly is not a monopoly. You can argue that there needs to be more differentiation, not that there isn't any.
Some people want to sideload, and they can have an Android. But some other people are pretty much satisfied with not being able to sideload, the uniformity it brings, and the other perceived positive side-effects they see.
This argument is completely orthogonal to the narrative originally presented, which is that farmers who weren't trying to benefit from the patents at all were tangled up in Monsanto lawsuits. That narrative is false, and that's all I'm here to correct. There's a Motte and Bailey thing that happens with these discussions, the bailey being "Monsanto will sue you even if their seeds just happen to blow onto your property" and the motte being "intellectual property isn't real".
Sounds like present day Somalia.
Nah. I worked at a company that had a code style guide encouraging very verbose variable naming. It was awesome.
Having been a recruiter in a previous life, I know that some companies specifically force third parties into the relationship because it helps managers weed out other recruiters. Instead of having a dozen people blowing up your phone on a daily basis, you can simply tell them that we're not gonna work with you because we're contracted with this other party for staffing purposes.
Well this isn't related to django, but it sounds like Retool may be what you're after: https://retool.com/
Give Xapian a go also.
Yes, I've been happy with ours and it was a great improvement over the last heat pump that we had.

Habits are hard to break, though, and there's not much value (if any) of lowering the set-point at night during the winter months. People still do it, though, and then the unit is working overtime in the morning to reach the desired set point.

I'm glad that you're happy with your setup!

Yes You Should Understand Backprop (Andrej Karpathy, 2016)
Or patents should be assigned to individuals and not companies.
Totally, but these issues are also completely different.
Good point in that European high schools (generally) do not have large sports facilities and therefore are suited to typical urban multi-story buildings. Kids do sports at private/public sports clubs that are usually located outside town or in suburbs.

So high schools within 15 min walk/bike in Europe is much more doable than in the U.S.

Caveat: this is how it was when I was growing up in France; it may have changed since then, though I looked up my old high school and it's the same.
As you describe, a perfectly acceptable outcome is that licenses are respected with respect to attribution and where necessary propagation to derived works.
Five Disturbing Impossibility Theorems
The little animation at the top wraps when it gets to “Well Documented” on mobile. The whole page keeps shifting up and down. It’s really hard to read. Maybe it’s on purpose but just pointing it out. It detracted from the comedy for me. Otherwise love the gag.

> Patented seeds have funded GMO research which has saved literally hundreds of millions if not billions of lives through famine reduction.

Sources? References? Sounds like PR bullshit from Syngenta, frankly. For a start, half the world population is living off subsistence agriculture, i.e. not patented nor GMO seeds.
I know of no significant scientific evidence showing that waiting for transition in adulthood in a supportive household causes any harm.

Transitioning at 18 or 21 should be ok afaik. If your child identifies so strongly with the idea of transitioning, they could at least do 2/3 years of dressing up as the other gender, changing their pronouns and name and see how they feel.

I’ve been trans identifying a lot of my life but decided in my adult life to move onto life as a drag performer and non binary.

Im not sure what would’ve happened to me had to gotten the hormones but I’m happy it wasn’t an option.

You can easily make problems in your life be problems of “oh well those would be solved if I was a woman”. They wouldn’t. The issues I had came from issues I had with myself and they healed over time with therapy. I got support from therapists alongside with the advice of “wait and see how you feel”. Turns out they mostly realised that I was placing problems into me being a man that were problems that I had in my own psyche. That was my conclusion.

What you feel as a kid / teenager shouldn’t really be taken as gospel IMO. A lot of life changes ahead of you.

> The farmers saved a percentage of the seeds and sowed them again the next spring. However, this is not a lucrative model for profit-oriented multinational companies, since the seed breeders only earn a profit during the first sale and not again every year.

Was the "inability of the produced seeds to be sowed again and turn into a crop" intentionally baked into the seeds sold by these companies, purely for profits?

Or was there a genuine biological / physical limiting factor? E.g. crop will be more susceptible to pests?

Those are probably the ones being let go.

That has always been a concern to me about being laid off in one of these massive layoffs efforts. If it is pretty much understood that in these moves the companies are removing dead weight, does that stigma get attached to you as you search for a new job.
Hi HN, sorry for yet another AI related post =D like many of you I've been playing around with GPT recently. I set out to see if I could get a model to interpret requests and take action in an extensible manner.

At some point along this journey I discovered LangChain, which has lots of similarities. But I think one potentially novel thing for this crowd is that Bashi works by asking the model to interact with effectively a REPL, where function calls can have real side effects. On the other side there is an interpreter for a subset of javascript.

It also comes with an OSX app, so if you're on mac you can test out and hack on the proof of concept right away :)

Hope that this can spawn some interesting use cases and prove useful for some of you!
Patents are still being used to protect smaller companies from much larger corporations. Allowing these large corporations to legally ignore patents will only make things worse for the rest of us.

If we need to reform patents, maybe it should be based on revenue generated. Once a company has been successfully "incentivized" for their "innovation" the patent expires sooner.
Banks make loans for people to buy houses and they pay interest, or they start a business and the business pays interest on the loan. There's economic activity that generates a return. All the crypto "loans" seem to be loans to each other using tokens and they pay interest in the form of more tokens. There's no fundamental economic activity. The only money they seem to make is betting that other cryptocurrencies will go up or down, using leverage. And then when crypto falls all their investments lose so much money they go out of business. It just seems pointless speculation, and this is visible in that the ones that fail are shown to have all loaned money to each other and so it's a true house of cards.

There's just not much actual purchase of real goods with crypto, no one buying in the store. So the crypto itself serves no purpose other than as a financially lucrative asset.
this is how I generally perceive humans. some of them had a much higher exposure to topics (= learning cycles) and once proper abstractions are cached in the brain it feels like "understanding it" - which means being perceived as "intelligent" from the POV of others.

Turkey-Syria earthquake: Thousands offer to adopt baby pulled from the rubble
A child can 'see' maths though, they can see that if you have one apple over here and one orange over there, then you have two pieces of fruit all together.

If you only ever allowed a child to read about adding, without ever being able to physically experiment with putting pieces together and counting them, likely children would not be able to add either.

In fact, many teachers and schools teach children to add using blocks and physical manipulation of objects, not by giving countless examples and documents discussing addition and procedures of addition.

You may feel it's conclusive, and it's your right to think that. I am not sure.
Ah, good catch. Will fix.

I don't think you can broadly make that statement and back it up with data. Some people do in fact like space and privacy, some really don't care.

Many urban areas in the US all have lots of local, smaller, specialty, and neighborhood grocery stores. It's not a novelty for those who live in those areas. And they're not 7-11s.
Rust asyncio is still in its minimum-viable-product stage. My impression is that it will no long be considered MVP when it has structured concurrency. It would be great if authors posted honest insights about the limitations and work-arounds, if such exist.

I would like to know what the core authors of Materialize or InfluxDB-IOX have to say about using Rust for building a database. They've found the dead bodies, if there are any.

It is truly shocking how much damage the car has done to our cities and lives. Here in the Twin Cities, we have three enormous concrete canyons completely dividing up the city[1], destroying any chance at walkability or density for miles. All for the sake of people who don't even live in the cities to drive 30 minutes in their personal luxury steel cages from their suburban mansions to spend 30 hours a week here and then buzz off again. We lose so much to cater to the surburbanites and gain so little.

We have a real opportunity to fix this by removing one of them[2], but we're too terrified of change to improve our own lives. So the concrete canyon called I-94 will remain, poisoning the heart of our cities, for at least another four generations. Sigh.
