Volkswagen has $185B in debt. When your debt is a lot larger then your market cap the ratios get funny. As an enterprise, VW has a lot of value. But almost all of that goes towards covering the debt rather than providing shareholder value.
Look, I soured on GNOME when GNOME 3 was released. But it's unfair to call GNOME "flashy and experimental". Modern GNOME looks contemporary to its peers. GNOME 2, in contrast, would look very dated.

This is the exact reason executives favor return-to-office. Asking remote employees to assemble just 3 days per month becomes a major hassle, see above. If a job is work-from-office every day, the employees will either figure it out or quit, any other arrangement and the logistics of when and where to meet becomes a major distraction.
i laughed at doctolib revolutionizing appointments. do you know how they started? by being buddies with the government not byhaving revolutionnary tech. online appointment booking exist for years in some most developped countries. the first time they got lot of user on their platform it went down. thats no revolution that is typical old europe style of innovation where you innovate because u get the market for free thanks to your buddies in the gov. that is also why public it systems suck so much in france, ecause they push for the IT companies giving money to their party and put their buddies in position not to innovate but to get a nice check and bill lot of money for bare maintenance.oh and the platform is awful no way to differentiate a practician from another, no way to give feedback, interactions are limited to robot-like interactions and you cant deviate from the script, id argue it made everything worse because now many doctors dont have assistants as everything is handled by doctolib which reduce the way for normal people and elderly people to interacte with their practitioners office. its typical of the current gov btw, destroying public service, or at best keeping it in life support (ameli) , scrapping its data and allowing a company and its shareholder to maie millions out of it while the company looses millions (obviously except the shareholders that were early enough and are really tight to officials)

I didn't like how unmanageable physical devices were.

If I could make a backup of those keys, I would have been happy with physical devices.

But every time I make an account somewhere, I have to go add devices in triplicate? Ugh it was such an abysmal terrible experience. Physical devices are just too unreliable & too constrained as systems.

Passkeys, to my knowledge, are an extension of FIDO Alliance standards. My hope is that one can bring your own provider. This would avoid the vendor lock that has you quaking.
Bah. That is what hackernews/the internet is for. I learn more about new tools and stuff that other companies are using from seeing other companies/employees talk about that online than I do talking to co workers. Most of the time co workers are not talking about new cool tech, we are talking about life/bullshit because we are not robots.
Imma be honest, if it was not explained to me during hiring that mandatory "3-day retreats" were part of my job on a quarterly basis, I would be finding a new job before the next one.

Some people care about their "careers". Other people care about paying their rent and see jobs as the only tangible way to meet that need. I will never give a fuck about being good at my job, only competent. I am currently at that competent level and have had this actively avoidance mindset since I got into the tech space. I'm very curious, love learning and have a ton of hobbies...that have fuckall to do with converting my time on this planet into profits for my overlords and financial crumbs for myself.

The Career people seem to think, falsely, that the Job people can be coached into changing. Some can, but some of us will fight the happy hours and the retreats and the optional mentorships.

Don't worry, it's not true. All studies show that the employees that stay the longest are the least paid.

If they had to replace you with a new hire at the same level, they would have to pay the new hire a lot more than they pay you.

Bare in mind that the other reason noone wants to open that Pandora's box is that in reality the monarchy's interference is relatively minor and the political establishment (with full backing of the public) would permanently shut down any attempts to interfere in a more major way.

That's not too say that the guardians findings aren't troubling or that the powers the UK monarchy do wield aren't antidemocratic. But they're only ignored because they're relatively minor.

In the case of something major like a national security incident they'd be overruled and potentially trigger the dissolution or atleast severe weakening of the monarchy. They're aware of that fact and thus careful about what they do.

Anyone have tips to avoid this? I keep getting promotions and raises and it's all very nice but makes me worried about being closer to the top of the list when the next round of cuts needs to happen

Make your self invisibly essential to the company. Do things or have skills that nobody else does. The sorts of niche items that the company needs, but not enough to hire a second person to do them.

But also be "invisible" — as in, higher-up bean counters won't know you do them, so they can't be outsourced or reassigned. But still remain known to your immediate managers, and one level above, that you're the person who takes care of some mission-critical task, and so will ensure you don't get cut.

It's hard to find that thing, and not every company has this particular weakness. Volunteering to help out with projects in other departments is one way to explore the company for these flaws.

As a broad illustration, think about all of the thousands and thousands of employees that financial services companies have shed over the last decade. Then remember that they're still eagerly hiring COBOL devs.

nice! that's something i stumbled over when re-architecting a 2-sided marketplace (in rails) for one of my startups. the data model they describe is roughly what i ended up with, but it took some iterating to get there. the key understanding was that the relation table in a many-to-many relationship is not just a technical detail but encodes important information about real world systems, especially the human kind. as engineers, we get often get stuck on the entities being the important bits, but more often, the relations are where all the action is.

> I'm curious, what are the advantages to using this over a regular mouse?

The advantages are probably similar to those of any vertical mouse: There's much less stress on the wrist, which is important if you're suffering from e.g. RSI.

But since in this case the mouse is also ambidextrous, you can switch hands, too. (-> Useful for ambidextrous people and, also, even less stress on the individual wrist.)

I don't think you can say that with such certainty. This could lead to developers spending more time doing admin, that was previously done by other people.

Regardless, it sucks for the people being lade off, even if they are not touching development or sales.
You presumably can't get a contract if you're under 18 because that would usually mean a credit check. But you can certainly get an account, on PAYG or pre-paid monthly direct debit that is not subject to contract. Some providers have "UK residents 18+ only" in their terms but others do not.
> Anyone with any kind of asset made out like bandits.

Depends entirely on the asset class. A lot of people lost a ton of money on pandemic-related stocks (pharma), crypto, real estate, landlords, banks... the only ones making utter bank are those profiting off the Russian invasion and those who can raise prices at will due to inelastic demand (basically, supermarkets).
“pay only for what you use” can be used in a metaphorical sense, meaning that a system allows you to pick and choose what parts you use without forcing you to accept all of it (or accept extra overhead for using some small part).

Pyramid really does claim to have this property: https://trypyramid.com/ says “ "Only pay for what you eat" means less magic to live with in production”. So here, GPT isn’t actually wrong (surprise!).

C++ also famously has this as one of its design principles (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/Zero-overhead_pri...).

The people who have paid-for bluechecks, by and large, seem to fall into a few different overlapping categories:

1. People promoting their own personal brand (including meme accounts and sex workers)
2. Musk stans
3. Crypto people
4. MAGA

I'm willing to cut a break for some of the accounts in (1) on a case-by-case basis but I've seen all I care to see of (2), (3), and (4) so even if any given tweet from someone is innocuous--and they're not clearly in (1)--the bluecheck is a great signal to block.
Bees do take most of the pollen back, but flowers don't need most of the pollen anyways. As with most species of sexually-reproducing lifeforms, the males produce much much more sperm than is actually needed for the reproductive act, and they do this precisely because so much sperm will be lost in the process. In other words: flowers account for the loss of pollen to pollinators. Flowers also make nectar to reward pollinators -- nectar production is otherwise pointless for flowers, and yet they put serious energetic effort into producing a pointless product.

You did imply something about honeybees being non-native in many areas, thus like invasive species. To be specific, honeybees have not been native to the Americas for millions of years.
Seems weird to admit you haven't read the article and are just commenting on the headline and speculating, while at the same time asking another user to summarize it for you and compare it to other articles that you also likely haven't read.

The burden of being dismissively argumentative is so low, and engaging constructively takes so much time, that discussions become dominated by comments like yours and eventually everyone who wants to engage constructively leaves.

> Who is crafting amazing experiences on mobile? Which smartphone games move you to tears?

PC games never ever moved me to tears. PC and console games are not exactly well written, they are not about that anyway.

I would rather play smartphone games, because in last 15 years, I found some I actually enjoyed.

> I've never saw this water-cooler experience you mentioned. It's always small talk of the "Did you see the game yesterday?" sort

Does not match my experience at all. Depending on how you approach the water cooler you will get :

- People going to the water cooler to get water. And go back to their desk asap to stay focused (which is fine)

- People who go there and wanna have some chit chat about whatever interests them. Sometimes that means the game and sometimes not.

But yeah; but if you go in asking "what did you do this week end"; I have some colleagues who will happily jump in to say "I tried playing with Haskell, but those monads thing are are to fully grasp".

Never ever in my life, have I described my week end on slack. If I am going to be sitting in front of a screen and worsen my carpal tunnel syndrome; it's going to be for work related stuff.
Eh, good advice but I have seen "essential" people or teams get laid off, even at the detriment of the company. Management and C-suite don't care - they face no consequences.

I echo the other comment saying just save up as much money.
I’ll be exploring a combination of pre-processing such as stemming in order to also reduce the token length while preserving as much important information.

I did Carmanah after it was closed, this was after I first paddled the Yukon from Whitehorse to the Bering Strait [1], camping in the forest, avoiding the bears. The track was partially overgrown but doable, the weather was mostly fine with even some sunshine now and then - it is a temperate rainforest so rain is to be expected. Standing there with my tent between those enormous trees after having first hitch-hiked up from Vancouver to Whitehorse, then paddled the Yukon to Alakanuk, then made our way to Haines to take the Alaska Marine Highway to Prince Rupert, from there on the Queen of the North [2] to Port Hardy where we staid with some friends before hitchhiking to somewhere close to Carmanah where we spent a week, then to Vancouver to take our flight back to the Netherlands - or so we thought. We got some breakfast and noticed a television screen in the back showing images of the World Trade Centre in New York with smoke billowing out of it. It was the 11th of September, 2011 and we were not flying out that day... nor that week.

[1] Alakanuk - we met a teacher who invited us to give a presentation at Alakanuk School, if anyone here was there and remembers a Dutchman coming by in 2001: that was me.

Another thing that is quite easy: A service provider can simply stop offering his service in the UK if such laws are passed.

It sounds like you want to find some movie critics whose tastes line up with yours, buy DVDs of their highly rated movies and then rip them.
I use all those types of cryptography too, but NFTs provide additional features.

The special thing about NFTs is that they're securely transferable on a public ledger, which isn't really the case with client certificates or ssh keys.

Let's say I buy a ticket to a show as an NFT and I want to give it to you. I can simply send it to your wallet address, and now you own it and can prove you do at admission time.

If I resell the ticket to you at a premium, perhaps the performer gets an additional cut to help them capture some of the resale value and reduce scalping.

I'm not sure how you'd do this with SSH keys or private certificates, but I think you would end up needing some kind of registration/directory/ledger service, and then you've just invented cryptocurrency again.
> peasant French

It's also that until the 19th century and compulsory education there were multiple dialects of French spoken throughout the country. "Royal French" is a descendant of Norman and was the language the bourgeoisie adopted after the revolution and that the rest of the country standardized on.

Same thing happened in the Americans French colonies in Canada and Louisiana; the settlers brought the "Royal" French with them because they were majorly from the north.

Possession of "synthesised" CSAM (or extream pornography such as rape) is already illegal in the UK. There have been prosecutions too. I believe the reasoning was that studies revealed that viewing synthesised content, lead to a higher chance of possessing real CSAM content, or of committing sex crimes themselves.

Propaganda piece from economists. Hello CBRE. I'm part of the demographic they claim and it couldn't be further from the truth for me. In remote env, if your seniors (management or peers) opt for their productivity 100% over training juniors then you have a shitty team and that's hardly unique to remote work. In fact, you will likely spend more years wasted commuting into office doing nothing as opposed to having more time to experiment, hypothesize, and learn. Good teams make it policy and process to lift everyone. They have networking events in person and remote. They accept the situations that as adults and leaders we don't need mom and dad to hold us so we can go down the slide and write a pr. Bad teams hyperfixate on metrics like cr revisions, drown newbies on complexity impossible, ambiguity black holes projects. Again, these things happen in the office too, so why is this study focusing on an issue prescribing it unique to remote? I don't know.

The fact that the US, as the largest economy in the world, can't construct a single true HSR line is embarrassing. China has some advantages such as a much more fragile idea of private property rights and cheaper labor pool, but this does not come close to accounting for the differences. Geographically, the US is very similar to China, with a highly populated East Coast and lesser populated West Coast. Yet, this has not stopped China from building a comprehensive high speed rail network.

I can do all of those sysadmin tasks (learned FreeDBD sysadmin at UC Berkeley’s student ISP) but the experience offered by Vercel (free for hobby user!) is so much better than managing my own VPS, why would I consider it? Even for a team of 10 @ $20/mo, Vercel seems so worth it for preview deploys per branch, production environment management, CDN, etc. “light system management” doesn’t cover any of those tasks, and the whole team is gonna move waaay faster compared to fiddling with VPS provisioning.

> Postgres, Redis

Vercel doesn’t do either of these, but you can pick Postgres up from Superbase (for free) in a few clicks. But I might consider Planetscale for the production DB fork & schema management stuff even though it’s MySQL instead of Postgres.
That's not even remotely close to being true. I have no more trouble imagining what monolingual me would have been like than I have imagining what color-blind me would have been like, or deaf me, or paraplegic me.

Imagining a deficit in one's abilities is not hard. It's going the other way -- imagining what it would be like to be able to do something that you have never done -- that is difficult.

(In fact, I don't even have to imagine. I know what it is like to learn a language as an adult, and how different that is from learning one as a child, because I've done both.)
