Thank you for your concern. I hope you understand that all mainstream news is controlled by a very limited number of corporations and alternatives are full of people with their own agendas and tinfoil hats.
Yes, I can't help but feel like this is just people learning how federated systems work. If you own the instance, you always have the power to block connections from any other instances. The whole point is that instances have control, and if you want control, you have the option to run your own instance. It's a distributed system of reputation.
Lenovo makes an AR headset which mostly functions as an external monitor to a Windows PC or Android phone, which sounds like what you want:

The Vision Pro is just combining a screen with horse blinders. Absolutely depressing product and laughable that companies pretend that these technologies bring people closer together.
Have a portfolio of projects that look good to non-developers. This means recruiters, hiring mangers, and HR folks.

Make sure the portfolio shows that you can see projects through to the end. I'm talking functional, hosted apps that are just a click away. Make it easy for people to see your work. Provide demo credentials if a login is required.

Write code everyday. If your GitHub has minimal or no activity then don't be surprised if you get minimal or no interest from most companies you apply to. For a self-taught junior-level person trying to break in, your Github is likely going to be reviewed before an interview. Make sure it shows you've been putting in time and effort.

I'm a self-taught career-switcher myself. I honestly think that my portfolio and green squares on Github got my foot in the door. Just build cool things you're interested in and your passion will shine through to potential employers.
This is a great example; said friend also convinces you to stay hydrated, double check your safety, and not just apply more force in the wrong situations.
I explicitly said that you can't. Python's packaging ecosystem wasn't designed with reproducibility in mind, and has never claimed to prioritize reproducibility. The best you can do is get close, and hash-pinning gets you pretty close.

I'm not aware of any other major language or language packaging ecosystem that makes reproducibility straightforward. Certainly not Ruby or NPM, and not even brand new ones like Rust's Crates. Java appears to be the closest[1], but is operating with significant advantages (distributing reproducible bytecode to all users, minimizing system dependencies, etc.).

Edit: In addition to hash-pinning, you can instruct `pip` to only install built distributions, i.e. wheels. If you do both hash-pinning and built distributions only, your package installation step _should_ reproduce exactly on machines of the same OS, architecture, and Python version. But again, this is guaranteed nowhere.

Microsoft has killed more products than Google.
In a word: immersion.
What has been created with modern global capitalism is extremely different from the Roman form of commerce and administration. Not just in technology but in complete ideological foundations. Not only was slavery fundamental to its whole foundation, its accepted and normal practices for doing business would today, in the west, be considered forms of absolute extreme corruption, and their justice system would absolutely horrify us.

I'd posit that today's world is what it is because it is partially on built enlightenment values that stepped away from the old Roman model, not back to it.

> The assertion that iPads are "taking over" PoS seems to be based on an inappropriately small sample.

That's fair. I think I notice iPad PoS devices when ever I run into them, whereas the other devices are less remarkable to me.

But my experience really mirrors what you say - gas stations and grocery stores aren't running iPads. It's usually restaurants and small vendors where I see them.
> CCS is all but done ... The EV revolution has never hinged more on Tesla than right now.

No. What all of the reporting around this misses is that it will be the CCS protocol. The chargers will be CCS chargers with Tesla's plug. CharIN will probably standardize the Tesla plug eventually.

Europe had the right idea by setting a common plug standard. North America is going to live with its silly multi-plug situation for years yet.
This is true: A job doesn't necessarily create a professional network OR a friend network. The vast majority of people I worked with at my previous job were assholes and generally awful and boring people. The cool and successful people already left. Another issue is ambitious coworkers may keep others at a distance to prioritize their economic interests ahead of personal ones.

There are pockets of good people everywhere but there's no magic recipe to find 100% concentration of them. One just has to put out good energy and be open.
> the disproportionate number of moderator actions we take against users of these two instances

This is a key dynamic. People are used to social media sites being kept livable thanks to a team of paid professionals and fancy ML tooling, often supported by volunteer labor. But here the volunteers are in charge and many of them have other things to do than deal with people's bullshit just to keep the user growth graph going up and to the right.
If the experience involves me becoming more isolated from the people sat in a room beside me then it’s far from a no brainer.

Back when we had a baby sleeping in a room with us my wife and I would each put in separate earphones so we could watch something together without disturbing the baby. It was a very crappy experience to not be able to remark on a single thing to each other. That experience plus being harder to see each other too? No thanks.
I saw the kickstarted version of this at a maker fairy and was blown away. The product was great for what it did.
This is limited to unsafe code, and the "exception safety" is a known problem to deal with. It can be tested without having to trigger OOM.
This title seems intended to position this as some sort of infighting and I think is heavily editorialized - the thread title is

ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

The actual reason is that the defederated servers have open enrollment and have grown large enough that the small fraction of their traffic that is abusive and requires moderator attention is dominating beehaw moderators attention.

This isnt a moral judgement - they just don't have the plungers or the juice required to deal with the sewage, so are defederating to protect their own time and attention until those instances get a chance to settle down.

>why is letting them charge so bad

In this case, the specific concerns were benefiting from third party developers for well over a decade to grow their business, and giving them a month of race before rolling up the carpet. The devs were working on code they thought they might have years to earn money back on, who sort of got screwed.

It was also the whole “poor us, we can’t make a dime, we need this money” routine Reddit was jawing on about when if they lowered that API pricing down to the point that the pricing was affordable for consumers, or locked it to Reddit Premium users, to me there seems a clear path to profitability or at least sustainability. Again even if they ultimately priced things high enough to slowly strangle these apps, I wouldn’t care as much.

It’s that Reddit fucking lied to everybody’s faces to push false public narratives to bolster its PR.

No doubt the admins, the freemium users, the paid users, the third party devs, and the moderators all contributed to what Reddit is today. However if the moderators don’t punish a decision by the admins thru gutting the profitability of this scheme they just pulled thru disobedience, in future conflicts the admins will be more empowered, and fuck everybody harder. So people collectively behave in this way in solidarity almost by intuition, at least for awhile.
If that were truly the case they’d have started with plug-in hybrids.

My grandmother's farm had to be sold in 2012 after she died. Since my family moved around when I was a kid, but always visited there for holidays, it felt more like home than any other place I lived in. I have extensive videos I recorded in 2006. It'd be wonderful to walk through there again using reconstructions from material I already have.

Or maybe not. There's a reason I haven't watched those videos in years. Who wants to remember the garden of Eden when you know you can't go back?
True. It's a small world, and smaller in some industries.

this is supposed to happen, not that this means failure.

I see it as healthy.

Just as there is no simultaneous conversation about, say, walnuts in offline life, so there are multiple communities that discuss walnuts on boards with all the predicates and social constructs those communities have, from focuses towards, say, farming to environment to cooking, objective focuses, or social focuses in belief, location, language, of community. And no one's prevented from starting their own walnut focused board or even community.

That Lemmys are choosing to not try to be super catch-alls from the start I see as healthy for communities.

For search/discoverability, multiple boards each dedicated to walnuts may not aid discovery, especially in tails where signal is strong, perhaps oldskool directories/newskool directory of search/filtering could start to come in useful.
That's about as fast as maple syrup. The ground around here never gets that cold, and basements are not a thing at all. So your 60 days is about 45 days behind schedule! Your sub-contractors are bilking the contractor ;-)

I’m not sure how it’s implemented, but when CoPilot suggests code with an inline API key or similar it seems to reliably generate a sequential alphanumeric sequence that is discernible at a glance from real data.

I’m sure there are edge cases, but I’ve been surprised how well it handles this.
As it currently exists, Florida is effectively a fascist state.

And this is an example of what awaits if you vote to bring this to the country at large.

I agree here: Cost of maintenance from time, parts, tools, space and accessibility are all lower here. Also, as a whole system, a bike is more simple than a car. The only downside I can think of is that a bike is much less forgiving to mistakes.

As a car person I am a bit envious and long for the day when cars could be smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more simple.
Thanks, I'll take a look. It'd be better if it were a full replacement to a PC or phone, but that might take yet more time to develop.
Problem is that the tech support scammer walks grandma through the process of turning off senior mode and installing malware.
> Isotope is open source

But it hasn't been updated in years:

Does the commercial license use a different repo?
This is what happens when ever optimizing robots like Tim Cook are put in charge of anything. They should never be in charge of setting the heading of the ship. Keeping the ship running and afloat sure that's what optimizing robots are good for. Don't mistake them for leaders or visionaries. Apple has been a mindless ship on autopilot since the iPhone 4.
Crackberries were for people who always needed to be connected. There was no TikTok for BlackBerry, people barely used them for talking to their friends. The modern iPhone barely has anything in common with them
> making the whole thing useless

Why's that? The typical user problem isn't "see all the content", it's "see some good content". As long as the two halves have critical mass, it could well be fine. For example, the fact that Reddit and Twitter were separate networks didn't prevent both of them from growing pretty well.
Tapping fingers to click is enabled on the current quest fwiw, it's just not the default since typically the default is to use controllers.

The thing the quest is missing is eye tracking, I'd guess because of the cost - but that eye tracking is going to be a really big deal for good UX I think (along with the much better latency).

Meta also has the issue that because they're targeting social (given what the company is) the value isn't really there unless all your friends have headsets too (outside of the gaming niche). This is really hard. Apple by focusing on the utility for an individual side steps this in a way where it's a lot easier to bootstrap imo, especially with the ability for them to rely on their existing platform.
Consider that it’s the end times and people spend a huge amount of their precious free time binging streaming services. Birth rates are down, and “everyone gather around for family time!” is not a very frequent occurrence in most families I’ve seen.

Clearly, Apple shares my dystopic Vision and cannot wait!
It's the difference between a facebook profile and a reddit profile.
That's mirroring over WiFi, not true video out like the Oculus devices do, which introduces latency and compression artifacts.
Sustainable businesses are so last century...
Sure, what I'm saying is, its too early to do this.
People have barely started migrating, and there is already infighting.

Thats a problem because beehaw seems to be the largest with many established subreddit communities, which limits the usability of smaller servers.
yeah, really - working as designed. If a remote site starts letting a bunch of people behave badly, then you can block them all at one go. If the remote mods clean up their act then maybe you'll talk to them again. Any user on your site who disagrees with this is perfectly free to move to another site with a policy of "100% free speech except for what the government makes us block".

It feels a little surprising for it to happen this quickly, that's all.
You sound like a Good Boss, or at least a pragmatic one! I don't think I've had any of those, or at least none committed to actually thinking differently. So you do what works: subterfuge and flattery :P
In that case, the point you are making is entirely off topic for what's being discussed.
> HP/UX and Solaris are barely on life support and basically moribund. I seem to recall a recent announcement that HP/UX goes end-of-support in 2025. As far as Solaris...Oracle is gonna Oracle. Illumios, et. al., won't save it.

I figured as much for HP/UX. The failure of Itanium was the death knell there.

I mostly lump Solaris together with Illumos/SmartOS. Is there a good reason not to (unless when talking about Oracle specifically)?
Just to be clear, that's not doing something different.

Also, I'm skeptical that immersion matters all that much. People manage to get quite immersed in their phones, after all.
You're making the claim that Substack is making no money on the subscriptions? And that the infrastructure they provide to process these subscriptions is completely decoupled from their company to the point that if they banned a writers account their subscribers are totally portable? This is an impressive feat, if true.
As others have said, the market right now is incredibly tough for job seekers now and especially so for junior candidates just looking to get their foot in the door. I have confidence the job market will start to get better in the near future, but who knows.

For now, start searching for roles in companies that are entry level and might write or maintain a little bit of code as part of the job description. These can be tricky to find, but can often be listed under things like support specialist, marketing operations, solution engineering, etc… and apply to as many as you can.

Even if you don’t write any code in your first role, look for opportunities to do so any chance you get.

I started out this way and tasked myself with rewriting an internal meeting tool the company had neglected. I used that experience to help sell myself to teams looking for new developers, and it’s how I got my first SWE job.
> But even Apple's launch video doesn't suggest that general computing will be notably improved here.

We'll find out!
And as a UI geek and someone who enjoys exploring new tech, I'm totally gonna buy it, though I reservations about its commercial success.
This is fine, that's the point of federation. Beehaw's stated goal is "Aspiring to be(e) a safe, friendly and diverse place." so it's understandable they would want to be more selective with who they federate with to create a "safe space" for those that want that kind of environment.
The one bit of credit I will give Tesla is proving to the large manufacturers that pure EVs can have mass market appeal.

I think for the stated goal, skipping right past hybrids was a great idea.
I am surprised no one has mentioned Ecosia yet.

I am a not a developer, so my use case is different but Ecosia.org returns good results almost all the time. Of not, I would use StartPage.
You don't need to make 2 different accounts to access different instances unless you want to post.
> What gives me hope is if you ever take a break from social media you realize how worthless it all is.

I agree with this sentiment. I left Facebook and don't miss it in the slightest. Left Twitter long before it was fashionable and don't miss it. It's just a bummer that Reddit is going that direction as well. I've tried to leave Reddit a number of times and then remember it's the only place to get direct, responsive support from my ISP and most of my Google searches include Reddit to see what other people think about a product, service or idea. But would I miss Reddit a year from now? Nope, probably not.

We could do away with all the surveillance capitalism using us as a product and life would probably be fine.
I’ve found this HN comment to be the single best explanation of the purpose of Kafka for engineers (like me) who never truly appreciated why you’d want it in the first place: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35160555
I mean… it’s an AR device, or at least it’s trying to be, as covered in the article. Do you have a different take? I think calling this “passthrough” is a little dismissive, but perhaps I’m just biased towards previous usages of the term which were for meant for the usecases you mention, not extended continuous use
Pretty sure it's satire.
I'm hoping when the day comes, it isn't too violent. But history has its own thing to say about that.
You’re comparing their existence to your modern standards. But in the moment all those people found their lives to be just fine.

By that logic you live in absolute hell compared to the future humans of the year 3000. Doesn’t feel like it though does it?

I’m illustrating the existence of the hedonic treadmill. However much we get in life, somehow it’s always just okay or slightly not good enough.

What signal does the Apple Vision Pro provide besides “please don’t talk to me”? The main flex on a plane is your seat tbh
I can explain it to your mom: "they broke up and stopped talking to each other".
Alternatively, one account on an instance that still federates with both halves of the split could still see content from both sides? One could even do this by running their own instance? Or is there something preventing this?
The problem is that it's still a feudal system like Reddit's is, with power concentrated in the administrative nobility.

The only major difference with Reddit is that the latter has an additional, all-powerful layer of royalty that holds control over these lesser lords. Whereas Lemmy has them all fighting each other.

Either way, the peasantry just has to put up with whatever nonsense battling the ruling class involve themselves in.
The big distinction made by TheFrenchGhosty is that they did not personally agree to the Youtube API T&Cs.

If Youtube were as cunning as the goobers at the Whatsapp ToS fanfic department then they would add those terms to their Youtube ToS. So if you ever went on Youtube proper and accepted their ToS when you were 5 years old trying to watch baby shark then voila you have accepted to never code anything that would hurt Youtube's bottom line.

We talk a lot about Patent trolls and our right to privacy. It's now time to talk about ToS trolls and our right to third party clients.

A lot of people like to opine about the nigh-impossible task of being a full-time OSS dev and how AI will change the world; it's time we start talking about an OSS developer Union and how there's no AI-driven utopia without a human Right to Automate.

Solidarity with the Invidious team.
What were swords used for if not for battle?
I don't see that lithography is the barrier to practicality here. IMO trying to make AR or VR happen without some kind of direct link to the visual cortex is like trying to build an iPhone before multitouch capacitive touchscreens were practical.

Smartphones went from "Pointless waste of time" to "Inevitable and incomprehensibly-important technology" overnight when that happened. Jobs had the sense to wait by the river, probably as a result of prior misfires with things like the Newton. Cook, well, not so much.
No one is saying you are only allowed to maintain certain connections..
First of all, what you say is mostly true in the real world as well. I was in a bowling league for 20 years. I want friend with anyone but they were acquaintances. The bowling alley closed. I no longer see anyone. I could have taken the friendship outside the bowling alley... But you can also take your social media friendship outside that particular social media.
It wasn't a terrible mistake, and it isn't a problem self contained to social media.
Apparently, you probably haven't started a real business or created a real successful product . This is what people believe when they are just a cog in the machine and they believe they can spend countless time designing or planning for things that are out of touch with reality
Yes, being practically-minded (engineering-centric) was an important aspect and intention of the StateCharts formalism. But the disconnect today I think is because demographically on hackernews aren't avionics engineers or biologists, they're more like FAANG / SV developers and as many have said here they just don't see the relevance (and call them architecture astronauts or whatever). An aerospace specialist would expend the effort to learn a theoretical formalism, but an iPhone developer, maybe not so much.
I used to be pretty anti walled garden but after seeing comments like yours I've come to understand and respect the other side.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I spend about 60 minutes in Austin (the Chicago neighborhood) every day, and live across a street from it. Austin is not a "no go zone". Residents of one of the wealthiest suburbs in Chicago routinely bike through it on their way to work in the Loop.
I wrote some "CNET 5-star" award winning software (if anyone remember them) and its website back in 1996. HTML/CSS/JS/SQL. CSS/JS were just getting started (CSS 95, JS 96).

I did it by hand, but Microsoft FrontPage v1.1 was out that year ... WYSIWYG!

2013 and I'm seeing a proliferation of ... WYSIWYG?

Granted, it does look slick and it's MIT licensed. Best of luck with the product.
