Well, this is more what I feel internally about working in general than about a particular company. This is not something that spills out into the work environment. I perform tasks to the best of my ability and just "put on a face" that is expected of me. Company is satisfied about my performance during evaluations.

It's probably more of a spectrum of offensive to inoffensive, so the binary choice between permissible and not is going to vary depending on context. Maybe it could be a slider with "acceptable ranges" depending on platform? For example, I think 4chan would not mind most of these posts. But GlobalSocialNet might have some problems with some.

Ah thanks, hadn't stopped and thought about "letter-sized" being an American standard.

I still think it's odd to not translate one or the other if describing a 2D size, though.

Not OP, but I experimented with QuickJS for my SSG and, on my super slow laptop, it started up about 200ms faster than Deno, but ran about 5 times slower overall (and the binary was much, much smaller).

My original motivations were: Deno doesn’t support Raspberry Pi and I was running lots of short-lived processes to support incremental rebuilds using a Makefile. In the end, my requirements changed, so I’m not using QuickJS, but it was very easy to pick up and use.

So: portability, startup time, and small code size seem to be the advantages of QuickJS.
From the help and man page[0]:

--roll-forward="snap_name"

traditionally 'zfs rollback' is a destructive operation, whereas httm roll-forward is non-destructive. httm will copy only files and their attributes that have changed since a specified snapshot, from that snapshot, to its live dataset. httm will also take two precautionary snapshots, one before and one after the copy. Should the roll forward fail for any reason, httm will roll back to the pre-execution state. Note: This is a ZFS only option which requires super user privileges.

I might also add 'zfs rollback' is a destructive operation because it destroys snapshots between the current live version of the filesystem and the rollback snapshot target (the 'interstitial' snapshots). Imagine you have a ransom-ware installed and you need to rollback, but you want to view the ransomware's operations through snapshots for forensic purposes. You can do that.

It's also faster than a checksummed rsync, because it makes a determination based on the underlying ZFS checksums, or more accurate than a non-checksummed rsync.

This is a relatively minor feature re: httm. I recommend installing and playing around with it a bit.

I've realized something, what makes Vercel (previously Zeit) popular is not the tech itself but the developer experience, that's all.

> GP posited that there may exist X well-paying jobs but Y people, where Y > X. In that situation there is no self volition once the well-paying jobs have been filled; even if some people willingly choose not to take them.

By definition, people choosing not to take them is self-volition. They'd rather have the low-paying job because it's easier or closer, and they have a choice. There are also a large number of people for whom not working is a viable option, e.g. if your spouse makes at least twice minimum wage, your household has as much income as some couples who both work. Then a choice between a low-paying job or doing household labor is actually a choice.

But here is what I mean by two definitions. If you have to choose between low pay and homelessness, is that a choice? If it is, all of those jobs are volitional. If it isn't, "the job shouldn't exist" is the opposite of a solution.

> That's pure conjecture, not fact. Productivity and wages decoupled 50 years ago.

Average productivity and wages decoupled, highly asymmetrically. Someone who makes a computer that can do the work of a thousand bookkeepers or stenographers is extremely productive, even if they "only" get paid 10 times more than the bookkeepers did. But the productivity for cashiers and dishwashers is not much changed. Businesses are not going to opt to pay someone more than the value they produce for the business and the value produced by unskilled labor is commonly quite low.

> The answer to a desperate child isn't paying them a pittance to clean a slaughterhouse.

But then:

> Once again it's about agency not UBI or minimum wage

A UBI would provide agency by allowing someone to turn down a low-paying job without being in a state of desperation. The job might then have to pay more or offer some countervailing benefit to get anyone to take it, and the people who choose to or not would then actually be making a choice.

If not that then what are you proposing as a way to achieve agency? Expecting businesses to choose to pay people more than their labor is worth isn't going to do it.
But if the restaurant still controls the chef's work during that time, that isn't gig work. If the "employer" is required to pay by time not work, then it is now the employer's time, not the workers flexible time:

- ability to assign tasks, not leaving the worker the option to say I don't want that task

- ability to control how many workers can log in at a time, forcing Uber to pay a 1000 drivers who all logged in from 2:00 AM to 5:00AM when there aren't enough rides to be taken, isn't right

> more closed than open

Literally 100% of this is open source. (Oh wait I think maybe one of the mobile apps isn't yet, but like, it's react native, IIRC, so it shareds most of it with the web app, even if not 100% of it is.) Yes it is true that there's no open governance yet. That is a problem. But let's talk about problems in a straightforward way, grounded in actual details, than in FUDdy ways.

"They are competing and I would have preferred if they weren't" is much easier to have an actual conversation about than "they're trying to EEE mastadon", which is inflammatory, inaccurate, and does not promote mutual understanding.

> It's not just a case of them being happy to dig nasty stuff out of the ground without care. If anything it's because they lack a specific type of nasty stuff to dig out of the ground and so their government hasn't been totally captured by fossil fuel interests.

China still produces plenty of coal, so I'm not sure what your point is. I guess you mean oil, and their move into EVs totally makes sense from that context even if they can get it cheaply from Iran and Russia these days.

But the cost is huge. Even the Chinese central government is pragmatic enough to admit that they have a huge unsustainable problem; e.g. https://time.com/6258519/china-lithium-mining-environmental-...

> The crackdown in Yichun, Jiangxi province, follows a local lithium frenzy over the past year as miners raced to feed rampant demand for the battery material — and to benefit from record global prices. Now, they’re grappling with a close-up inspection by environment officials sent from Beijing.

You can tour the Chinese countryside and find tons of places like this.

> The west actively abdicated their early lead on all these technologies.

The west could not keep up Chinese refiners because Chinese refiners have little regard for their environment. As the Chinese central government cracks down and the west worries more about their resource security, the Chinese will simply lose that advantage.

This might be decoupled from productivity anxiety, but my theory is that there are different types of "fun".

There's the "simple carbohydrate" fun of, say, an action game, which is immediate, easy, but low-nutrition and, enjoyed overlong, makes me feel empty inside.

Then there's the "complex carbohydrate" fun of learning something new or working on a project, which is more fulfilling and interesting but also work -- mentally taxing -- and, enjoyed overlong, burns me out.

My brain seems to demand a balanced diet of both.
I'm not following. The parent, I believe, was not talking about canon law specifically (which is changing and to be distinguished from doctrine which only undergoes development, but never revision). I also don't understand what papal crises have to do with anything in this context. And what is meant by "political-nation-religious entity"? The Church is a religious institution whose bishops (including the pope) have also exercised distinct secular political authority in addition to religious authority. It was never "national" in character, only supranational (hence, "catholic").
I don't think most of the large customers will care about OSS AI.
Over the last decade they've learned (trained themselves?) where to put their money towards (cloud vs. in-house infra for all manner of things, for better or worse) and I think AI tools will follow similar trends.

Businesses will certainly care about cost, but just as important will be:

- Customization and fine-tuning capabilities (also 'white labeling' where appropriate)

- Integrations (with 3rd party and in-house services & data stores)

- SLA & performance concerns

- Safety features

Open Source AI will have a place, but may be more towards personal-use and academic work. And it will certainly drive competition with the major players (OpenAI, Google, etc) and push them to innovate more which is starting to play out now.

> Many fish used to be much bigger than today because they survived for much longer since they had no predators. Within years, the average fish size of those caught at any popular vacation destination fall precipitously as can be observed by vacation photos

My reading of the article is that the pictures don't show a particular species getting smaller over time, but that the species of fish that grow large aren't caught anymore. Yes the fish in the pictures got smaller over time, but they also changed species.

From the article:

> Yes. This really isn’t a story about shifts in size within a particular species. I didn’t find that. What I did find is that the big species just aren’t there anymore.

But it doesn't explain what js.window IS. I assume it's implemented via static interop (https://pub.dev/packages/js#staticinterop), but not sure.

Is it out of some secret library they have somewhere, generated from Web IDL? Do I have to implement every function/property on window myself via static interop?

Btw, you can link to youtube with a timestamp: https://youtu.be/yRlwOdCK7Ho?t=1724

Update: I did find this package, which seems to generate bindings from Web IDL: https://pub.dev/packages/js_bindings, but it's not from the Dart team, and prob not what they're using here.
I've seen it done properly with unit tests on algorithmic or decision making code (parsers, calculators, complex, deterministic thinking code).

However, people do insist on writing unit tests on integration code and when they do it, it all goes horribly wrong.

What exactly does "What exactly does "desensationalize the news" mean?" mean?

I think what you're really saying is: "I'm less interested in the work this person did to make something cool; selfishly, I'd like to know if it follows my biases so I can judge it based on politics."

Or you're just curious how it works and haven't spent the effort trying it out, which is valid.

This attaches two unrelated topics. Extreme capitalism is making Americans unhappy because corporations go rampant on poor people with zero concern for their health.

In Europe the quality of life is way higher and people are happier. Specially for poor people.

All these things the writer attaches to an easy life are actually lives taken by corporations for profit.

With easy life he means eating cheap chemical food. He means a toxic environment where people are not protected against their basic instincts that can be turned against them to make them addicted to unhealthy things for profit.

> "make" money (i.e. create value)

See, the harmful confusion right there.

Making money and creating value are two separate things. There are people who create value without receiving any money in return. And there are people who receive an obscene amount of money while creating very little value — and sometimes destroying more value than they create.

Understanding that the two are separate is the only way you can question the legitimacy of our richest people. I’ll give you a hint: the most impressive CEOs journals routinely praise as geniuses, are very, very unlikely to produce as much value as the money they actually receive.

If you want to even stand a chance at critically looking at our current economic system, you absolutely need to properly separate the notions of "making money" and "creating value".
Sure. Now if we could just make sure other countries did the same and never step in in future to fill that vacuum, then we'd have a better world. The CIA is uniquely bad by degree but not category.
