"Immigrants perform jobs that the natives show no interest in doing for themselves" for the wages provided by companies.

If fruit picking, waiting or trash collecting all paid livable wages, there would be no labour shortage.

However, for a lot of citizens in western countries your options if you don't have a high-paid job are either low-wage jobs or unemployment benefits of some form that are equivalent.

And unless your chosen job has some "higher calling" like nursing or teaching (which are both highly valuable to society but underpaid) - then youu will logically choose the "free money" option.

If the government and private sector can figure out how to pay people their appropriate share of profits, then the labor shortage will disappear...

Flat and structureless are not necessarily synonymous. It's certainly possible to have a highly structured yet flat organization with clear roles and non-hierarchical decision-making.
Thanks for the reply! The main reason I ask that is I primarily use Python and Julia, which have pretty decent tracing abilities but there are still a lot of rough edges when it comes to visualizing those traces. Particularly with Python, the default tracing packages such as cProfile are quite lacking in terms of support for visualizing and exploring the output of the profiling (most likely by design, but still frustrating nonetheless). It's necessary to bring in Snakeviz for visualizing, and it is quite good, but the HTML UI that it is run has very limited options when it comes to distinct ways of visualizing the data.
Yes, the 40K universe. I will seek those out and give it a try. Thank you!
Acquihires are definitely a thing but the way they talked about it at the time it was a major acquisition to diversify Reddit and pivot it to video. It even made the Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/articles/reddit-snaps-up-dubsmash-to-exp...

Dubsmash had a sizable userbase with almost no overlap with Reddit's and their conversion rate appears to be less than 0.01%
Some of the aspect oriented stuff like cacheable will add a proxy to the annotated bean which can break reasoning about the code.

If you inject the bean and call the method you will get caching (because you are using the proxy). If you call the method from within the bean itself however you're not using the proxy and you won't get caching.

It's stuff like this on steroids when you start mixing annotations that makes it really difficult to reason about the code.
This is simply assigning remote work an outcome that happens all the time in office, and I think more often because in person there are fewer discussions about explicit deliverables or milestones.
Yes and: One of the hosts of Accidental Tech Podcast, who has also worked in social media, had a long deep dive into why casual efforts would ultimately fail, once the trogs invaded, for entirely non-product reasons. Moderation, DDoS, lawyers, etc. IIRC, they were explaining why they'd never host a mastdon instance themselves. Or maybe it was a viral app of the week with two young founders, who accidentally caught the tiger by the tail. Or both.

This quote struck me. Journalists look for sins/dirt, why aren't they interested in this stuff happening all around (and involving powerful people)? I think they would give the same excuse.

But Journalists criticize others using a moral framework that is never articulated. My best guess is they dont really have one, it's whatever they think you will find offensive and further their social goals.

Having worked over 25 years in offices, I can assure you: being in an office was never a means to prevent people slacking off to extreme degrees. We had plenty of dead weight that contributed nothing even when we were all sitting in our silly little cubes or open office plan dystopia.

My point was less so about whether or not the price was fair, but that it illustrates issues with Reddit's leadership. Whether or not the prices quoted during negotiations between Reddit and Apollo are fair is somewhat orthogonal to the issue of weaponizing those negotiations to score PR points.

Loki itself is rock solid. The Grafana integration isn’t the best yeah, it doesn’t even have tabular output. What’s the whole point of doing structural logging if you can’t do that.

Help me understand, how would Reddit work offline?
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.

We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.

This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.

This article has lodged in the back of my mind for years. Not the details of it, but the idea of distinguishing when and where corporate power exists into categories, and likewise, the idea of the corporate form being in decline, in a non-prescriptive way(which is what this comments section seems to be straw-manning for).

The conclusion it reaches is...also not exactly in detail what's happened lately, but also directionally correct. Big Tech's growth hit a cap. There is growing interest in better information sources, and a sense of the Internet reclaiming its roots. There are plenty of "indie creators" of various stripes, many just hanging on and struggling against Big Tech platforms, but also many finding a better space than within industry. The last few years had interruptions to Taylorist time, which sent people on radically different trajectories.

I still think there's something in it, even if the grand statement being made is the kind of thing that needs its own book.

> Some people have an aversion to "goto" statements, and Java annotations are even worse, they're a "comefrom" statement, where you end up executing code before or after your function based on this annotation, so it makes the code really annoying to follow.

I like this comment so much because I would have described annotations as a "comefrom" myself... but then I probably read that somewhere and forgot about it.

> Grumpyrest looks like it makes integration with spec-driven workflows quite easy.

This is interesting to me because I always thought about it the code-first-generate-documentation way, and I always wondered if/how I can derive all the meta-data from the code which, admitted, annotations make much easier because they are statically accessible.

Doing it the spec-first way is something I should definitely consider.

> A word of caution to the author; if this takes off, you will be inundated with issues and PR's, since people will use this in ways you never dreamed of. I'm experiencing that kind of onslaught in something I open-sourced for Go for REST API's.

Oh so that’s how Reddit acquired the video suite. It sucked so much it drove me to third party apps and now they’re killing them too. Amazing.
As a crafter and tinkerer, I love to test how far I can scratch that CD.
Interesting.

I've heard of heat recovery on air exchange, but never humidity recovery.

I'm not sure to what degree water is readily available at ASSPS (yes, there's snow all around, but it's cold, and actual precipitation is low), but humidifying air is ... reasonably low-cost, modulo thermal budget for melting snow/ice in the first place.
That sounds correct https://simpleflying.com/air-india-fixes-defect-boeing-777-r...

Thiel comes from a place where he clearly understands the rationale & goals of the modern left's social wing wrt diversity. I want to agree with him that he's raising substantive issues. On the other hand, his whole piece has such a tone of arrogance that it's hard for me to get through. The obsession with "speaking truth to power" (the exact phrase & the concept behind it) feels so childish and seems to be something many people in the alt-right seem to have.

I do think he makes some interesting points, especially at a high level. His "economically reductionist line of questioning" is something I think about... what are the incentives behind DEI, especially since DEI programs at large haven't seemed to accomplished their goals. And his point about rent/people wanting to live in cities seems true, too. Despite rent being crazy in NY/SF, for many people, those are the only cities they'd consider moving to.
How does OpenObserve handle logs with high cardinality?

In Elasticsearch tuning these indices is one of the bigger operational burdens. Loki solves this by asking users to not put data in the indexed fields, instead brute force through it all.

Does OpenObserve have any other approach to this?

Paul,

Do you commute to an office every day, sit at a desk in a 4 person shared cubicle, have monthly "performance reviews" by someone unqualified to manage your subject area, have to deal with 3 children's weekly scheduled school-caused sickness, own an old car and only 1 so it is out of service when it needs repair?

I worked from home for years ... scratch that, I "lived at work" while at home for years. If you believe that getting your work done on time only during 9-5 then you've never had to deal with after-hours emails demanding results by the next morning.

Take a job that requires a 1-hour "10 minute standup" every morning at 8:30am so it "doesn't impact the work day". Take a job that needs at least a week to complete with no external progress (e.g. programming) and listen to the constant requirement for "progress updates". Note how there is a built-in assumption that because you're home you're slacking.

Fight through heavy snow or rain, struggle to find a parking space, find out there is no coffee in the break room, that only 1 of 3 toilets are working, that the internet connection is down, and your other 3 cube-mates are all loudly sick of something "going around in the office".

Sure. Go ahead. Assume the worst of your employees. Like children, make sure you can see them at all times.
Thanks! This looks interesting. Some of the main differences I can spot so far are:
- Hummingbird does not construct a NN with an architecture isomorphic to the source decision tree but instead cleverly compiled it into other (more sane) tensor computations.
- Hummingbird is actually useful. ;)
Only having black socks ensures you never go to the gym.

Which is fine, btw.
Do you have your code publicly available? I'd like to have a look on how you did it.
You can shrink it if you plan correctly from the hiring phase. If you hire new people for a new division, and then shutter that division, you minimize the consequences. If you hire a bunch of new low level people for a bunch of teams and then prune those same people out, it's tough but doable.

Heck, if you hire people because you might need them, give them nothing to do (as many people claimed happened to them) and then fire them it is the easiest of all.

If, on the other hand, you hire 100% more people, then fire 50% of the people and try to use that culling to get rid of a lot of older (and more expensive) employees, you can doom your company.
Similar things happened on military aircraft too: I remember ~2yrs ago a gigantic C-17 mistaken a tiny airport near San Fransisco as an AF base located not far away.

Air India has plenty of real issues worth criticising. There's no need to make up plainly nonsensical stuff.
Yes. Putting people through hoops and then going "were we really friends if you didn't do it for me, huh, HUUUUH?" is a "I'm the main character" mindset.

A friend recently deleted all his apps and he asks me I just email him if I want to talk. I'm just not gonna do that. I barely remember to email my work people.
Yes, but if you run a normal compression algorithm like gz, rar or 7z on it, it's still going to use bytes.
That's . . . not a bad analogy. Only instead of 100 homes (like the condo I lived in with an HOA) imagine thousands of people complaining about their neighbors each day. Sometimes it's the ticky tack lawn nonsense and sometimes it's a leaky water heater flooding the neighbor. (The second happened to my neighbor. Unfortunately, it was my water heater.) Until you understand the scale of what the SO moderators were doing, it's easy to call them "entitled".

But I know it's hard to drum up sympathy for mods (or HOA boards).
YouTube has blocks that appear if you try to access certain content from countries that they don't have a license for, or it's copyright, etc.

You see similar things with Gutenberg e-texts; they'll be marked as "not available in Australia" or whatever, and the mirrors there won't have it.
Do journalists even need a moral framework? All they need is readership.

I mean, doesn't that basically describe what happened to many of the Fox news anchors like Tucker? They knew they were spouting bullshit (and may not have liked it at first), but it got views...
> that means it's cheaper for market participants to trade because of the rise of HFT market makers.

Okay, so it makes it easier for some people to become market traders.... but is that beneficial? The money that HFT firms are making has to come from somewhere. The only way an average person can be a market participant and come out ahead, is if they have some inside information that the HFT firms do not. Risky stuff. And the ability for people to make trades that turn out to be winners, is reduced by the massive and aggressive trading done by HFT firms.

The massive profits from HFT come from somewhere. Someone is making less because the HFT guys made more.

HFT firms do not benefit the average person- unless you define "benefit" as allowing them to have an easier time gambling at a game that has become harder to win.

Annotations lead to an undocumented interface. IDE's are incredibly unreliable at finding implementations from compiled libs. That is 80% of my frustration around annotations. There are no standards, no patterns, almost nothing to find details on why some annotation isn't working as expected and what it expects from the developer.
Not OP, and not points that make Twitch "unusable", but some changes that make it unpleasant:

- Really pushing softcore porn by putting their icons in the sidebar and over home page by default (they disappear once your stream viewing history is something other, but default behavior is to recommend it to all)

- Adding more noise to chat: Obnoxious particle effects once "enough people pay money to Amazon", highlighted flashy banners

- Overlays over the video that you can't turn off, makes the player very heavy, popups over the player that you have to click to close

- Autoplaying media on home page

- Strange inconsistent regulations of streamers (who/when they get banned and how long)

- Strange attempts at noisy virtue signalling - such as overlaying sombreros and maracas on emote images for "Hispanic celebration month", which is so unnecessary and comically unthoughtful
Are you making new friends or connecting with old ones?
Yeah, this one does something much less insane, i.e., it converts the paths to the tree outputs into their corresponding DNS (disjunctive normal form) and represents each term as a node (side by side in the same layer) in the NN, as described by Arunava Banerjee in "Initializing Neural Networks using Decision" [1]. The resulting NN architecture is much more reasonable than the one that treebomination produces.

It does not. They have more frequent and longer outages now. Heck, when Musk tried to do a town hall for DeSantis to announce his run, the livestream was buggy specifically because no one had returned one of their vendors phone calls. That's a stupid reason for a major fuckup.
Keep 12 oz cans of plain sparkling water cold if you are able.

Either way submerging one in ice water and spinning at the 2-minute mark will result in the contents becoming as cold as possible within 5 full minutes.

When you would otherwise consume a decent portion of beer or soda in a single elbow-raise, reach for the canned water instead.

The satisfaction of thirst combined with cooling effect will be quite comparable to either, and healthier to boot.

That is not true. The US does not block Cuba from getting to the internet in general (https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/912206/download?inline), although it blocks most commerce in general under its embargo. Your linked webpage is a Github policy restricting the availability of Github Enterprise Server and Github Copilot in Cuba, not the internet.

Your characterization of the Mariel boatlift is misleading and wrong. Cubans were mostly not allowed by their government to leave Cuba. During the 1980 Mariel boatlift, Castro suddenly temporarily abolished this policy due to preceding events where thousands had rushed into the Peru embassy in Havana hoping to leave. He announced that foreign relatives of any Cubans who wished to leave could come pick them up in boats in the Mariel harbor. Those wishing to leave where subject to abusive acts of denunciation and beatings by mobs organized by the government. In a cruel twist, Castro then demanded that in addition to their relatives, the boats had to be filled with common prisoners from jails and mental patients, who were given the choice of staying in prison or trying their luck emigrating on those boats. Castro wanted to provoke a crime wave in the US to tarnish the reputations of those Cubans living there. (source: I was one of those Cuban Marielitos that arrived in 1980 in one of those boats).
To fit all currently assigned code points within 18 bits is easy: you would only have to move one range.
Above 32FFF, all assigned code points are within E0000 to E01EF, which fits in-between 32FFF to 3FFFF with room to spare.

Those code points are used for flag emojis and for selecting uncommon CJK variants. If you don't support those, you could just strip out anything that doesn't fit in 18 bits to begin with.
