> Relationship building is certainly useful, but how useful depends on context: in the recent layoffs at my company, the only person who might have been able to influence whether I was cut or not was four levels above me on the org chart. My manager, my manager's manager, and my manager's manager's manager were not even aware that layoffs were coming until after decisions had been made.

Aye. There is, in large companies, hidden away in a dark room far from most operations, an accounting department. And in that dept. there is an accountant, maybe an CPA or MBA, whose job it is to cut people. They're kept isolated so they have no connections to teams or staff -- no feelings, just numbers.

Your boss and boss's boss may love you, but that accountant is there to make decisions without feelings. And when the decision is made, your boss may not know 'till the day of. Hell, their boss might not know.

On the other hand, why would people use their collective power to sink the company they work for? No company, no jobs. In reality the power has to be balanced between the two, and both parties need to act carefully and rationally.
It's called realpolitik; and the rest of the world should be calling it like it is.

Modi may be able to brush off the English as patronizing assholes who have no right to lecture India on anything; but that doesn't change the fact he's playing by a Hitler-lite playbook, and speedrunning European rhetoric circa 1930-1945, with the serial numbers filed off.

The British/Irish and the Troubles, the Germans and the Jews; it's really not that hard to perceive the direction things are being steered. That the rest of the world is not more openly hostile to this type of atrocity is more frightening to me than anything else.

But eh, "India's problem, and we have bigger fish to fry". Mark my words: this won't be the end, and the ensuing bloodshed will be a stain on the state for many years to come.

People like this are why we cannot have nice things.
I think the same.

`slots=True` should also be the default.
A few years ago some of the ATM's I saw in the UK did have limits, KYC/AML, etc.

For any transaction worth a damn, you had to register an account online, provide ID, etc.

You would get a code via SMS when you used the machine to authenticate.

A few models had a built in passport scanner type thing and webcam, another had a fucking fingerprint reader.

It was pretty much the same level of KYC/AML you needed to transact at Coinbase or Kraken, but you could input or receive actual paper cash, which seems to have upset the regulator so those machines went away as well as the no-KYC ones.
Personally I could care less which is more productive. My life is much better working from home. I've optimized for founders wealth at my own expense for too much of my career. Stock options are a gimmick. 90 days to vest after leaving? "Unlimited" vacation. Tiny little desks squished together. No thanks.
Not really the case. Some have limits and bans but it is not across the board and many banks don't have restrictions. The issue is the bank is semi-responsible to refund if someone gets scammed and sends money to an exchange and they have been taking huge losses on this; so I imagine some are just blocking it instead.
You're really moving the goalposts. From "the heirs who own the majority of stock" to "spending $55,000+ a year on your kid's high school."

Edit: Zuckerberg's parents were a psychiatrist and a dentist. Well paid jobs but still jobs. I'd hardly call it generational wealth.

I mean this is sort of how things already work, so much so that the trope of "the old devs didn't know shit" and memes about needing to replace everything or crapping on legacy code when starting a new job is talked about daily among devs.

I'm not really worried about what other people do because when I have to fix it, I'll be being paid to, and so would the next guy after me.

If companies don't feel responsible for treating employees well/not turning their backs on them in the sake of profit then I feel 0 responsibility for anything I leave behind when I'm gone.

That's false. From the FAQ on their homepage:

We finally enable users to process entirely encrypted data with Fully Homomorphic and Searchable Encryption (FHSE) and other technologies in the field.

Exxon and the like are watching this. They will continue to drill, but they are already trying to predict how this will play out to ensure that they have enough wells to supply whatever demand there is in 10 years, while getting the best price from those that are left. They know the writing is on the wall for fuel customers - but there are other customers they have plus collectors.

Note that I did not say they will predict this correctly, only that they are trying to.
Yeah, I don't know why the Saintly unions get tarred like that. Just because some engage in racketeering and have ties to organized crime, right? It's so weird!
I adore my framework laptop. Everything just works, and swapping ports to match my office, home office, and garage tinkering setup is a huge bonus. (Home is DP + ethernet, Office is USB-C, garage is HDMI + USB-A heavy)

I'm also looking forward to upgrading when new boards come out.

Finally, there's a huge opportunity to DIY expansion ports, it's just USBc on the inside.

On the other side of this, as a dev, I find not having to live with the long term consequences of tech/product/process decisions a breath of fresh air. No longer need to obsess over every future “what if”…

Selfish? Maybe. But it reduces the cognitive load of an already mentally draining job and makes me happier on the job.
>I unfortunately suggested that maybe for a company like Google, too high salaries would bring people in who "work for money and not passion".

I mean, that is literally the argument for education, social work, elder care, domestic abuse advocates, CASA, and any other number of social services fields. Why not google? Why shouldn't that argument apply to google as well?

I agree - there is nothing in the documentary about Modi and the BJP that has not been hashed out dozens of times before. Its all the more surprise that it is getting suppressed, which will lead to people watching it even more than if it was ignored.

The BJP is media savvy, but using the Indian bureaucracy and especially the Tax department to score points is clumsy.
I'm not sure how to make this more clear, but "the content" is presented in bad faith.

This is like writing an article about how plant life is thriving in a field because they were fertilized by the blood of hundreds of soldiers and you're saying, "Yeah, but what do you think about the plants growing better?"
"Net negative"? So you're saying that remote workers are uncollaborative? If that were true, all remote companies would have people that un-talked to each other, which is hardly the case. Maybe less efficient, but certainly not negatively. It is the small difference in collaborative efficiency that allows different types of people and organisations to function.
I think of "five whys" more as an example than an actual methodology. The goal in my opinion is:

1. Dig into the root causes. Five Whys is at least helpful in giving the idea that the root causes may be several layers away; you should definitely go past 1 or 2. Untrained humans find it very cognitively tempting to stop at exactly 1; this must be overcome and the Five Whys meme is a good entry point for that.

2. Don't be stuck on Five Whys literally, as essentially a linked list of exactly length five. Causes can be trees. (I mean, technically nothing stops them from being full graphs, at least from a high-level view that ignores temporal dependencies, but generally you need to tree-ify them for this discussion or you'll literally loop around the graph in your postmortem and analysis steps just like a computer would!) A 5-element linked list is merely a particular shape it can have. Management encouraging "Five Whys"-like thinking is a good thing; management mandating that an incident come with a Five Whys analysis with exactly five whys in a linked list would be missing the point in that oh-so-classic management methodology way.

3. Once you have your root cause tree, you examine it with the same engineering/business cost/benefit eyes as everything else. "The entire company's organization is inimical to this sort of quality" may be true, but extremely expensive to fix on its own terms. Even more so when you look up and consider that the company may in fact have other good reasons to be organized that way; there is no perfect organization that solves all problems optimally, and it may be a net loss to even consider re-orging the company to solve one particular thing that in the global context is an annoyance, if it would in the process break the organization that is producing actual value. But you may find a process tweak in some other layer that will mitigate 80% of the problem for hardly more than the cost of a meeting. It is perfectly valid to come up with a portfolio of solutions; one pattern I end up seeing a lot is the cheap short-term bandaid and the longer term fix. Cynicism aside, yes we often do end up with the long term fixes getting put into place... the key there is that they are usually themselves a portfolio of other fixes we needed that long-term fix for, not just this one issue that we've put a bandaid over.

I'm yet to ever participate in an analysis like this that didn't produce some good actionable item. Often at least one of them is indeed quite cheap, even if fixing the root causes is expensive.
For a while it was a trend for people to use userscripts to delete their old comments on various social media sites after a certain amount of time. I think this practice is unfair, because the user gets the benefits of participating in open conversation but tries not to pay the (IMO absolutely minuscule) costs in terms of privacy.

I see a lot of open source use the same way. Companies use open-source contributions but don't contribute back any of the value they receive. I'm strongly in favor of using strict GPL licensing or dual licensing for corporate and nonprofit use for every open source project. I know people like the MIT license so that people will use their projects, but fundamentally if you want open source to continue then open source contributions need to be enforced, because otherwise it doesn't happen
classes themselves are types, which is semantically valuable and also provides for a straightforward inheritance pattern. attributes on classes are easier to type. There's pep-589 TypedDict but it's not very easy to use right now.
Same thing in the UK. Groups of very suspect looking people feeding loads of cash into them in small grocery shops.

I think a lot of them actually stopped doing it because the ATMs themselves were becoming a huge crime target, with so much cash in them and not particularly hard to remove.
That's one way to increase population growth.
Surely anyone using an ATM already passed KYC as they are using a bank account?

Do LINK etc separately KYC me when I use a machine for (GBP) cash? I doubt it...
I'd love to see a study that investigates the benefits or drawbacks of remote work + 4 hours of joint rowing and having a beer afterwards per week.

My experience is in academia, which certainly doesn't translate to business 1-1, but I suspect that most benefits of in-person office work come from social aspects of team-building such as personal bonding, meeting for a coffee, chatting in the hallway, and so on, and not from working in an office itself, especially not when the office space consist of large, shared offices.

> Why do you associate unions with people coasting and not meeting their commitments?

American public sector unions are cartoonishly bad. Recent example from San Francisco. Fourth grader hasn’t learned math in six months. Their math teacher had a concussion and can’t work. The substitute doesn’t teach math. (?!?) The original teacher can’t be replaced. (They deserve disability, but students deserve instruction.) Substitutes must be drawn from a list, on which there were two options, and the other person didn’t want to do it.

So students get babysat while their peers learn math. Because every stopgap, including another teacher dropping in, or a parent volunteering, or hiring an off-list sub or even temp, or telling the sub they have hired to knock it off, it’s grade school math, they can probably find a decent YouTube series, is contractually prohibited.
I can maybe see this, but I have had several kinds of long commutes in my life: long distances by country road, by interstate, by train, by bus. Rush hour driving in Austin is hellish compared to the same length of commute by country road in Michigan (at least when there isn't a blizzard) but they are still driving. It's not downtime. Commuting by coach-style (think Greyhound) bus in central Europe is probably the easiest hour+ commute I've had, but you are still trapped in a metal box: you might be able to answer some email or listen to an audiobook but it's not downtime.
Simple - do the same things companies do. Optimize for profit. I honestly could give a rats ass what a companies profits are in 5 years since I won't be there.

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years" - "not here because you 100% won't increase pay commensurate with market rate"

Its relatively simple to see how people could operate that way, because companies don't actually care about employees. They're a line item for profit generation.
I had to remove quotes to make it fit, but maybe something like:

> The idea of a union is that it insulates you from being instantly punished for factors you might not be able to control a little better than the market is doing right now.

Most people have good days and bad days. Any manager who's crazy enough to punish someone for having one bad day isn't a good manager. If that happens it's likely a manager specific issue

> When was the last time you got a job purely on the basis of your personal relationships without having to jump through hoops to show your skills?

Not really. They're qualitatively the same product: a head mounted binocular USB-C display with accelerometers/gyros. It's much easier to make such a thing than a full tracking VR system. If this is a VR headset, then so is the LG R100.

(Admittedly this product does include lighthouse sensors, slightly reducing the amount of third party equipment you need to implement a 6dof system.)

> People waking up to the fact that the West and the East are equally bad

The West has resources and well-oiled propaganda machinery in place to control the dissent that's why they don't need to use violence as openly as not-so-rich countries. When their monopoly is threatened, they act equally ruthlessly.
I'm pretty sure replacing an heavily polluting ICE car with an EV in the span of 17 years(!!) isn't comparable to letting people die from disease, no?
It's not just about being unproductive or unreliable. It's about being taken advantage of, even if and when you are fully productive and reliable. Hard work and individual productivity can and do get individually rewarded in many cases, but overall you are still entirely at the whims of your employer in an asymmetric power relationship. The entire purpose of collective bargaining and unions is to balance the power relationship.
Which area is that from? I've been looking for some quality furniture.
I'm not making any points about users of mainstream languages. They have no use for transformers. Using a lot of global IORefs is possible but relies on a trick using unsafePerformIO; its definitely not in the spirit of Haskell to work this way though it is sometimes needed.

But yes, the article mentions that Tesla has been working on auto-labeling for years and it's interesting tech that I hope is successful because it could improve safety.
The company I’m working for now relies heavily on consulting and it’s awful. Almost complete lack of documentation for critical infrastructure. Minor decisions made that come with major costs like using EFS instead of EBS which skyrockets costs. When there is documentation for something, it’s so useless yet in-depth, like the manager needed to check off a “documentation” bullet point but didn’t read a single line of it.

Working here has given me so much experience on how to manage a project long-term that I probably could’ve never learned anywhere else lmao.

Oh god, I’ve also had to work with some of the worst consultants I’ve ever seen. It’s the first time in my entire career that I’ve ever been tempted to flame someone at work. Watching someone flop around like a fish out of water while trying to do some of the most basic shit is beyond maddening. The nerve of some of these people to try and correct me, too.

HKTs in Haskell are quite castrated, too. Haskell only lets you define HKTs via data type declarations, while, in general, HKTs can be considered just functions "one level up" -- instead of operating on the term-level, they operate on the level of types. The type checker thus becomes undecidable for a Turing-complete language, since you need to be able to perform arbitrary computation on types during type checking. Not a huge problem for Rust though, since its type checker is already undecidable.
It's the other way round. People putting cash in. Which you can do at certain ATMs but they have quite low amounts as far as I know.

I’m probably the wrong person to ask, but my mental model is that it scopes/isolated the CSS inside the component so it doesn’t affect elements elsewhere in the document but it also prevents CSS elsewhere in the document from affecting the elements in the component.

My outstanding question here is: how do people reuse components across sites with different themes? Do they have to pass styles across the shadow boundary via JS? Or do they just give up on cross-project reuse or theming?
