It's easy to hit that many files, and they made the change without warning.

If you're on the $10 2TB plan and your files average 100KB, 5 million files means you can only use a quarter of the space you're paying for.

And before you call that unrealistic, my system drive averages 200KB per file and my main personal data drive is close to 300KB per file. Both would hit the limit if I wasn't using something fancy to pack files together.

And then there's the $18 5TB plan with the same limit on file count. Even completely ignoring the option to pay for extra terabytes.
Yeah, real estate appreciation has its own costs that we're going to pay for down the line... in particular increased costs of housing/living is causing more homelessness.
Indeed. I haven't worked at a company that was managed (partially) by engineers. Sure, there were tech leads, but as soon as it came to product and account management and "up", it was business school. Must be some corollary of Peter's Principle.
How long did you try? And what languages do you use?

Let's be honest, the alternative to having an open hiring process, i.e. resumes, is nepotism and hiring your chums and the chums of your contacts. Which does describe the hiring process in a lot of startups. Ethical issues aside, the problem with this is that it shrinks the pool of potential hires down drastically, to people who look like you, think like you, and know roughly the same things as you. Great if your customers also fit into this bracket, not so great if they don't.

However I think the OP drastically underestimates the proportion of wholly unqualified on paper people who apply for most jobs. I'd put it at 50% for most and up to 90% for some. So you can see why people go down the nepotism + chums route.

As someone who has a deeply weird CV and life experiences / social circle that is pretty much orthogonal to most techies it can be difficult, as the nepotism / chums route is not available. But just writing a cover letter to the JD and company gets me a fair way usually.
Lame whoever flagged it.
In Verse there's no such thing as equality comparison. Assignment is the only thing that = does.If you want to do something if two things are equal, you attempt the assignment and whether this is logically consistent with the rest of the program determines whether the other things are executed.
Yes, it’s not making anyone see any extra Elon tweets as your comment alleged.
It is the same in India as well. It has been established that removal of unionised resources can pose an exceptional challenge, which may result in monetary and potential reputation loss for the company.

It seems to me that a key requirement for engineering would be that there are formal design specifications for the system (such as a car or bridge) as well as its constituent components. There are also usually mathematical models of the system that can predict its behavior and performance as accurately as needed for the application.

Many modern software systems seem to lack such specifications or models. In these cases software development seems more like tinkering than engineering.

Its rarely as easy as sharing a requirements.txt. There are lots of things that can still break - for examples you get weird situations where different modules require different versions of a third module. Or all the Cuda toolkit version issues thsy seem to come up with gpu stuff. When we share python, we tend to share a docker image, and even this isn't foolproof. A big problem I think is that it doesn't incentivize building something portable. And it's very hard to test across different machines. Add to that all the different practices re virtual environments, venv, conda, etc, everyone tries to install the dependencies differently or is starting from some nonstandard state. It's a mess.
No, because current AI is most likely not conscious.

They can of worms I was alluding to is that it’s easy to justify using non-conscious machines purely as tools. But if they’re conscious, suddenly you have a new species of enslaved beings instead.
Not objecting is not the same as agreeing to sell it back. If I email your office and ask if I can come take your car, and you don't respond, you didn't object, but you also didn't agree that I can come take your car.

"The only revenue that matters is the quarterly one."

Something I've taken to heart from business school. Since most senior leadership roles have a Short Term Incentive attached to their KPI, it makes perfect sense for them to make the most informed decision to maximise their return.
You are indirectly making a great case for requiring that applicants consider the company more that "just a job". If my coworkers ranted like that, I'd not have fun at my work and you'd be dragging morale down.

I spend 8-10 hours a day at my job. That's far more than with any of my friends and typically more than even with my spouse in the average week. My coworkers, at least a significant fraction, better be amazing. If somebody comes and basically says, dude, it's just a job, leave me alone, I leave them to their misery. If I am forced to work with them any significant amount of time, I quit an go work somewhere else where I can build meaningful connections with people around me. Cause let's face it, co-workers are a friends substitute in this day and age.
> And in a romantic relationship or a marriage that means that men e.g. should not automatically assume that the women will organize the household while they chill out.

Historically men didn't "chill out". Most men had gruelling menial exhausting jobs - agricultural work that was simply too physically demanding for most women to do.

The idea that men had an easy life while women did all the struggle is a fever dream.
A modern natural gas power plant has over 60% efficiency of electricity generation. 40% is for rather old ones or those used for peak, not base load. But even those are improving.

Moreover, using natural gas at home for heating is not 100% efficient. Some heat is lost with exhaust plus not everything is burned. A good furnace with proper heat exchanger is about 90%, but cheaper ones can be below 80%.

So even if your electrical heat pump is just 200% efficient and the electricity comes from a gas power plant, it is already a win compared with a gas furnace at home.

Both with electricity and gas there are transmission losses, but they are roughly the same and with electricity we know how to make them smaller long-term.

> Feminism has made most women unfit for marriage.

Of all the women I've seriously dated, I can't think of a single one I passed on marrying because of feminism.

> The very idea that casting the relations between men and women as a pseudo-Marxist class struggle

That's certainly a phrase someone could say, but it doesn't sound like the statement of anyone who has much of an idea what Marxism or feminism are.

> Men and women are not equal.

Men and women have some characteristics that are distributed bimodally. Arguably some different natural incentives. You could reasonably say they're different. They're also by many criteria more alike than they are different, and any member of either class is only somewhat more likely to be similar to another member of their class than a member of the other class, which implies that the kind of difference in play here is a pretty suspect basis for founding inequality, and the best basis on which to evaluate any individual is... individual. Which works pretty well as one of several general egalitarian principles.

It's one thing to recognize difference. It's probably even wise to be able to recognize difference and use it as a starting place. But it's another thing to use generalizations of difference as an assertion of inequality, especially one that implies hierarchies of privilege by class like "men and women are not equal."

Where inequality exists, best be sure you can test for it specifically. Simply assuming your priors (especially poorly examined priors) automatically apply has some names, many of them ugly.
Now it's a C mess!

You can get closer to the stock PC layout with:

options hid_apple swap_opt_cmd=1 fnmode=2 swap_fn_leftctrl=1

(CtrlFn⊞AltSpaceAlt⊞), except for the double-swapped right-option which acts as Win instead of the expected Ctrl.

There is a `rightalt_as_rightctrl` patch[2 which doesn't work with Asahi yet, but there's plans to upstream it. However, marcan was planning to make some massive changes in the apple-hid driver, so it might take a while.

The point is to have these statistics remain the same for the individual groups in between changes, not to measure them against each other.

This comes up a lot and the reason doctors and lawyers don’t have to do their version of FizzBuzz is that they have strong, organized professional organizations managing their professions and providing a credential that assures some base-level skill.

I think this part of the cascade shadow map generation could be improved. Luckily the stuff closest to the camera looks correct, but distant stuff does look off until you get closer and higher resolution pops in.

In the future I'll probably do something similar to what you mentioned and have the cascades use the LODs selected for the main view.
Ah, Worldcoin has set up booths at many shopping malls here in Kenya. The first time I saw them a few months ago I was reminded of the "OneCoin" pyramid scam that was big in East Africa a few years ago. https://www.theregister.com/2022/12/20/crypto_ponzi_scheme_c...

Worldcoin gives off really similar vibes. The footer of their website reads:

> Worldcoin tokens are not intended to be available to people or companies who are residents of, or are located, incorporated or have a registered agent in, the United States or other restricted territories.

That doesn't sound very good! And then there's this critical review of Worldcoin's operations in Indonesia https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoi...

I really don't get good vibes from this whole thing...
Why is Musk obsessed with being liked? There was a hoax last month about the algorithm being tweaked to make everyone view Elon’s tweets which was provably false.

I like biking/walking. Both give me time to clear my head on my way to work. One of them is like 2x faster than the other. Scooters are fine if that works for you. AFAIK all of these options fit on the bus/train. But I will also say that the people at my work have long stated that the day they have to figure out where to park extra bikes, scooters, etc. They will make it happen. Because they take up so much less space it's much easier to manage. I think the same is probably true for public transit.

I would suggest something you enjoy :).

Accessibility is something else to consider for a lot of this... But it's not really an argument I feel people make in good faith. I would be okay with some car usage for people with accessibility needs for first/last mile transportation.

This is disputed and google denies doing it.
It was declared to be an intentional change and not a bug. If anyone would have thought through how an application expecting the old semantics will behave under the new semantics, it should have been rather obvious that silently changing the semantics is a very bad idea. It’s absolutely a case of professional negligence.

This is the difference right there. My daily driver is an 6800U (a slightly more efficient 5800U), the whole system idles on Linux at around 6W which is way too much to target whole day battery life. The performance is amazing though.
> Some people don't like the significant whitespace, but that helps readability.

Compared to what? Unindented or badly indented code in other languages?

In other languages you can move code around and it still works - and nobody prevents you from adding whitespace for readeability (it may be even done automatically for you).
I believe in this entire thread the attitude of "just do your job well and exceed expectations a few times a year" is very under-represented. And I've met many employers who have it.

parkinson’s essay on the principle of selection[0] is relevant here. concerning cv submission/job application being a negative signal he says, and I quote:

Heaped on the table before this committee are 483 forms of application, with testimonials attached. All the applicants are Chinese and all without exception have a first degree from Peking or Amoy and a Doctorate of Philosophy from Cornell or Johns Hopkins. The majority of the candidates have at one time held ministerial office in Formosa. Some have attached their photographs. Others have (perhaps wisely) refrained from doing so. The chairman turns to the leading Chinese expert and says, "Perhaps Dr. Wu can tell us which of these candidates should be put on the short list." Dr. Wu smiles enigmatically and points to the heap. "None of them any good," he says briefly. "But how--I mean, why not?" asks the chairman, surprised. "Because no good scholar would ever apply. He would fear to lose face if he were not chosen." "So what do we do now?" asks the chairman. "I think," says Dr. Wu, "we might persuade Dr. Lim to take this post. What do you think. Dr. Lee?" "Yes, I think he might," says Lee, "but we couldn't approach him ourselves of course. We could ask Dr. Tan whether he thinks Dr. Lim would be interested." "I don't know Dr. Tan," says Wu, "but I know his friend Dr. Wong."

I'll just say this, I don't think worrying about the safety of your food supply (or any other goods) is overly paranoid -- environmental disaster or not.

I would urge you to consider the motives and reasons of those who would disagree with, or try and stop you from doing so.
yeah, you're good, I can see a perspective where the high value and societal integration involved caused the extended full coverage at all, compared to what would happen to a smaller bank that could not find a buyer.

Exactly, I fell into this trap back when I was starting out as a developer. GDrive is a terrible backup solution and it'll overwrite and corrupt files there if you're actively working on them. As of a few years ago anyway.

It also doesn't help that there's no way to exclude a folder with wildcards so you can't blacklist all node_modules folders.

The cynical truth is that no one is that excited to work at Wundergraph. Once your revenue drops, you will make your staff redundant.

I am sure your employees love to to work with your other colleagues on an exciting problem, however, it is just a paycheck in the end.
Python has this too, check out PEP 582. There's a package manager called PDM which will just create a __pyoackages__ folder in this style.
Ask HN: Why is Rust faster than C++ for calculating the sum of 1M numbers?
I did a benchmark of Rust, C++, Go, Node, Python, Ruby, etc to understand the execution time of a program that simply calculates the sum of 1 million numbers starting with 1.
While C++ took around 3.5ms, Rust completed it in under 50ns. What could have been the reason why Rust performed significantly faster?

Thirteen Ways of Looking at Disinformation

So you give jobs only to those able to feign interest. I'm not sure that's worthwhile.
> dude, it's just a job, leave me alone, I leave them to their misery.

If you really believed what you were saying you wouldn’t have to rationalize it to yourself by claiming that people who don’t think like you must be miserable.

> Cause let's face it, co-workers are a friends substitute in this day and age.

That’s on you. If you’re using coworkers as a friends substitute it’s not surprising you get people who want you to leave them alone.
Maybe it is fine, but is it better? Is it good enough to spend the effort to upgrade to if you did not have to?
> the bug didn't generate mainstream headlines

So ... yesterday it turned out that Microsoft had the control over a certain Bing's search results wide open to anyone with an Azure account, and that enabled anyone to get access to and control over the Azure services of everyone that used Bing for these specific searches. There were probably other ways too, but that hasn't been disclosed or investigated. And it is --of course!-- unknown if this attack ever happened in real life: there were no logs.

That's quite the problem, wouldn't you say? Well, did you see mainstream articles? There was only an article in The Reg, which attracted a mere 11 replies. It simply doesn't get attention, probably because it was framed as "a misconfiguration", yet the costs could be staggering.
Some people mis-read this post as "showing" love to a company in the application. This is not what I meant, so I'd like to clarify this with a story.

Prior to starting WunderGraph, I've worked for a Full Lifecycle API Management company. It's was my best paying and most satisfying job before cutting my salary almost half to make my startup burn as little as possible.

I found this company because they had an open source codebase, written in Go. Coincidentally, I've built a library (https://github.com/wundergraph/graphql-go-tools) to build GraphQL API gateways, also written in go. At that time, they were only supporting REST. So I wrote them and offered the opportunity to add GraphQL to their API management capabilities. That was it, perfect match. Fast forward 2.5 years later and they have all sorts of powerful GraphQL API management capabilities. I think it was great for everyone involved.

So it's not about loving s company or a cult or anything. It's a about finding a good match between candidate and employer, and making it super easy for the employer to "spot" that from the very beginning.
I bought my GPU back in 2021. I had the same computing power as I have now, but back then it could only generate crappy pictures. AI image generation has improved massively in a few months without increasing hw requirements.
You are being down voted in part because you're factually wrong. Apple Carplay is not one-way projection. The phone receives inputs from the car, such as screen touches, the microphone audio from the driver for phone calls, button presses, GPS signals, and even wheel speed information for navigation in tunnels.

The reason this integration is not better is in no shape, way, or form Apple's fault. It is 110% caused by the atrocious hardware and software in cars, which is literally decades behind the rest of the world.
American breakfast cereal is probably a good example of the problem. In the UK, don't you have to buy stuff like Cinnamon Toast Crunch from speciality outlets? I was under the impression much of what passes for breakfast in the US is considered confectionary across the way.
Anyone in the US (or just anyone really) considering visiting Blackpool to see what is driving this equivalence from our end - don't.

Historically, it was a pleasant seaside resort town. The rise of cheap flights combined with a decades long neglect of northern England has meant that all of these Victorian era holiday destinations have fallen to ruin, with Blackpool falling the farthest.

Left alone, it would just have been a shabby, run-down place - but to make matters worse, the cheap guest houses and B&Bs became the ideal place for drug addicts to live, or homeless people to be shoved out of the way. Blackpool hangs off the bottom of the rest of the UK districts in terms of life expectancy because of the normal health downsides of poverty, combined with the extra problems associated with excessive levels of drug and alcohol abuse.
