> Bill No. S6748 is generally aimed at preventing the establishment of monopolies, monopsonies, and restraints of trade.

> If enacted, the provisions of S6748 would prevent employers from entering into or maintaining non-competition agreements with workers, including independent contractors, absent a “good faith basis” to believe that a non-compete agreement is enforceable. The bill does not expand upon what constitutes a “good faith basis.” The legislation would also define “non-compete agreement” broadly to include any “de facto” agreement that “has the effect of prohibiting [covered individuals] from seeking or accepting employment[,]” such as overbroad non-disclosure agreements and training-repayment obligations. Employers would also be required to rescind unenforceable non-compete agreements with both current and former workers, and they would be required to provide notice to each worker that an agreement is no longer in effect. If enacted, the law would take effect immediately.

a program which is concurrent expresses logically independent paths of execution, which can be executed one after the other, or at the same time, or any mix thereof -- it is a logical property of the program as expressed, and not necessarily exploited, or observable, when the program is run

a program which is parallel actively demonstrates multiple paths of execution during runtime -- it is a physical property of the program as executed

tl;dr: every parallel program is concurrent, not every concurrent program is parallel
Perhaps there is more cultural willingness to surrender 50% of a company when you live in France and are already used to sending 50% of your income to the government. But even as an American, I think I could be convinced to give up 50% of my newly formed company for $113 million of runway...

I think they expected to buy GitHub, a competitor, or build their own alternative repository host and VS Code was the "browser" for that.

"could be free" and "must be free" are such a moving of the goal posts that it is impossible to argue against. I mean, you didn't even go through "should be free" on your way.
Sorry, but I'd rather do front end dev on static HTML and CSS any day than deal with the self-abuse treadmill of frontend JS.

There's a Malaysian/Chinese resto near me like that. It's an absolute sleeper of a place to have eat. Barely visible from the road, and connected to a supermarket (and they wheel in and out shopping carts from next door as they run out of ingredients during the day). My Japanese roommate at the time was turned onto it by his Korean boss, and I took my Chinese/Filipino/Indian/American coworkers there and then they started going there all the time.

The 1 star reviews complain about the organ meat, which there were totally grossed out by. "Beef tendon pho" is super legit, and what you get in Asia. You're in the wrong place if you expect American-Chinese fare.
Funny to find your post at the bottom of the thread.

I tried to use a few apps for finding restaurants, compared their rating with the experience I had and concluded it's a waste of time and money.

There's not even a need to know or understand anything about it. No insider info from Yelp, not experiencing it as a business owner. Just try and see for yourself.

Tubo: A Newpipe front-end for the web
With the recent YouTube and Invidious backlash, I thought I’d share a project I worked on a few months back which aims to replicate the Newpipe experience on the web. There’s a lot of work ahead yet for it to reach feature parity, but the main functionality is there. Currently there’s only one instance available at https://tubo.mianmoreno.com. Feel free to send yours through if you self-host it.
You are a friend and a scholar.

I was looking for a solution in pydantic that is wildly relevant. Thanks, I didn’t realize that was implemented/existed.

My only objection is using ABC in your MRO. Haha, just a little bit overloaded with abstract base classes and using A, B, and C.

I got it eventually! Cool.
Sorry to hear that. My mum's had noticeable cognitive decline from breast cancer chemo too, physically more frail from it too.

Fortunately, sort of, she mostly thinks it's my dad who's lost a few marbles and doesn't seem to realise it's her, or at least is still too stubborn to admit it. And her grandchildren not only still have their grandmother but they don't yet see (or understand) the decline which is perhaps the best blessing of all. But it's still sad to have to see.
Early in my career I remember being really bothered by a guy who insisted we use a finite state machine for handling some stuff I’d already written and was pretty happy with. In my mind it was such overkill and he was being academically ostentatious or something.

I now love having opportunities to lean on finite state machines because I’m more aware of how dumb my primate brain is and how helpful it is to have guard rails. So, multiple layers of dumb: I couldn’t figure out that this guy was smart enough to see how dumb we were in the context of the problem we were solving, and he was ultimately trying to save me from myself.

This was around ten years ago.

I’ve also been told I’m a great teacher, haha. Sealed.
yup. precisely the topic of an hour long discussion I had with a friend yesterday.

here are top 2 problems I see with this tax in domaining:

1- All of the TLDs are owned by a handful of companies, and it's not in their interest to create a more competitive model. They don't really care who owns a domain, as long as someone's paying for it. In fact, they like squatters and encourage it. You should see how many domains are auto-registered by bots. I'll write about that more in the future, but for every TLD that claims "millions" of registered domains, a large portion of those are just unused junk. The registrar though is getting paid.

2- Land tax is not in the business interest of a business. As a domain becomes one of the key pillars of a business, I wouldn't want anyone to have the ability to take it from me, which is how it works (from my understanding) under the value tax. However expensive, it is cheaper to pay large sum up-front, and know you have the domain forever.

Land tax is one of those things that are good in theory, but in practice will be very hard to implement.
JP during his talk "inflation has not reacted much to our existing rate hikes". This analysis from Lyn Alden is really good at explaining why https://www.lynalden.com/inflation-vs-interest-rates/

TLDR; The monetary expansion we saw was because of huge government spending during the Pandemic, which boosted growth and jobs. Higher interest rates on government debt just means more money going to the private sector. So Fed's rate rise provided a windfall for those holding government bonds, furthering inflation.

It's cheaper to operate in Manteca. That's the point. Paying 500/night for just shelter doesn't make sense. It could be in an unincorporated area. These people need shelter, supervision and treatment till they get better.
Is this another innovating business move from Musk? Does anyone have a rational justification for all these Twitter unpaid rent stories?
Find some existing project similar to yours that has a PCB and a circuit diagram. I tend to recommend that synth DIY folks look at something like yusynth.net, and Yves Usson's designs. It doesn't have to be done in Kicad and indeed it might be better if it's not.

Redraw the circuit in Kicad, then redraw the PCB. See how close you can get to the original.

That way you're climbing the "learn how to use Kicad" learning curve, without having to climb the "learn how to lay out a PCB and circuit diagram" learning curve :-)

No, it is due to population density. If your country has 2× or 4× the amount of road area per capita but not correspondingly more taxes per capita, the infrastructure is going to suffer. Strong Towns ( https://www.strongtowns.org/ ) has many articles on this topic.

Such a great idea. You won't get new customers via Yelp this way, but you will generate some word-of-mouth that could offset that impact.

However, this strategy only works if a very small number of businesses use it. Once the novelty wears off, the word-of-mouth benefit vanishes.
You are mistaken in seeing iOS frameworks as a limitation. It is an advantage! It is the natural fit for the eye tracking and hand gestures because those apps will work flawlessly with no change.

You are also mistaken in thinking Mac OS can't work with Vision Pro, because it can. Apple has put a trojan horse in Vision Pro by giving us any number of screens we want to use with our Macs. In the future Apple will bundle Mac OS and iOS in Vision Pro. It is the ultimate evolution of computing. This is my prediction. Vision Pro will replace both the iPhone/iPad and Mac. All of it can coexist perfectly in Vision Pro.

This is what you should do. Copy Apple. Make your headset work with Android. Allow Linux and Windows to also be able to work through the headset with existing computers, by providing virtual screens. In the future you can offer a version of your headset with either Linux or Windows, but Android must definitely be in the first version of your headset. This is the only chance you have.
Because they want user's off of 3rd party apps completely. Their API pricing is such that its not realistic for anyone to use it, that is entirely intentional.

They want to completely control the experience, so they an extract as much user data as possible to drive ads.

So long as user's are in 3rd party apps those 3rd parties control the relationship, which Reddit has deemed is unacceptable.

> I would take Discord over Slack or Gitter any day of the week.

Gitter had terrible search, but one advantage Gitter had over Slack and Discord is that it required no login to lurk, and chatrooms were indexable by search engines. You can still do so with Gitter's switch to Element, although Element leaves a lot to be desired on the UX front.

> I would take Discord over Slack or Gitter any day of the week. Slack only retains 90ish days of text chat which makes it an awful platform for open-source projects to use.

But who is to say that one day Discord won't start enacting limits on search history? The enshittification seems inevitable, in my opinion.

What does this mean?

> the Chicago-based landlord that owns Twitter’s offices at 3401 Bluff St in Boulder, was provided a $968,000 letter of credit back in February of 2020, which it has been drawing on to pay the rent in lieu of ordinary payments (the details of this arrangement are somewhat obscure).

Does this mean that Twitter hasn't been paying for this office in over three years? That there's just a line of credit the landlord has been drawing on?
That is one shitty way of finding out you're fired. Finding all your stuff dumped on the street.

When you have to collapse a dozen worthless discussion trees to find one that is actually discussing the topic instead of spamming lame reddit narwhal memes, I think it's fair to call the discussion derailed.

Also Teamviewer and all the others have a community if you want that...

My opinion:
In the end in trading no community will help you to become profitable. Communities can be helpful for bloody beginners...but the rest of the journey, you are on your own, and all this social stuff and pseudo positive blabla will distract you from resolving the real issues. Trading is a numbers game, not a social one ...
I also avoid the larger communities. The value in reddit is having a number of doors to open and shut at will. Can I find a better place for discussion in a specific forum? Probably, but reddit is great for being able to visit and consult with many different groups.

Who will they blow the whistle to?

If they go to the media, even if they are 100% on the whistleblower's side, it'll be a week (at most) of slightly negative PR. People will forget, if they noticed in the first place.

Is there a government body that will act on this? What will they do? A small fine? Would this actually go to court?
I worked at Yelp in 2018, and the allegations were there, I would be extremely surprised that a secret like this could be kept if it were true. It was generally a pretty open culture which lots internal open cynicism. There was just 0 evidence or even rumors internally this is true. I believe it's way more likely that the system is large enough to generate outliers that believe they're being targeted.

However, hyper aggressive sales reps were there and while I don't have specific details, I know their methods were the cause of at least some people not comfortable staying there. They however would not have access to things like reviews.

This is a false dichotomy - no one is protesting for a free lunch. The vast majority of app developers and users are okay with incurring a fee (and many solutions have been proposed - for example, users needing to subscribe to reddit's premium tier to use 3rd party apps) - reddit management has shown in their conduct (refusal to listen to users / potential customers, applying changes with a staggeringly short notice) that they are negotiating in bad faith.
Live 95.5 Launches RadioGPT in Middays with AI Version of Ashley Z

If that’s the case shouldn’t there be at least one screenshot of this behavior happening? I’ve heard dozens of anecdotes over the years. You think that at least one restaurant owner would screenshot their rating and the number of reviews as soon as Yelp reaches out to ‘suggest’ advertising.

The fact that this seems to be commonly-accepted knowledge without a single piece of evidence is strange to me.
In the office job, I'd push on why the defaults didn't work out. In particular, I would be worried that I was specifically aiming to make future life a bit harder by not fitting with the defaults of dataclass.

Twitter Not Responding to Irish Data Protection Commission
It's pretty easy to scale, but scaling nearly anything costs more money than I have to spend on a hobby project :) I'm paying about $25/mo out-of-pocket to run both those domains. It would probably have lasted a good bit longer with external Postgres and S3/MinIO services, more instances, and/or a beefier server behind them. But all those things cost money :) Bear in mind, this is basically the cheapest "run your own server" price point I could find.

Looks like the CPU load of all the TLS/HTTPS stuff is what's doing it in now.
well I guess if I'm gonna start arguing semantics with you, this is a valid come-back.

so, "use" in my reply means "actively using, creating posts & comments" while "use" in your post means "view content". Is that a fair summary? I think I'll end the definition game here. :D
I don't think audio applies here at all.

Each channel can be mixed in parallel, 44,100 samples per second is not much per channel and mixing isn't difficult.

Also most can be cached and don't need to be mixed or filtered in real time because they haven't been changed from the last play.
And in the xkcd household Android was used starting in 2009, and some years later iOS. Seems consistent with history.
Does you free pricing tier really need to be a "Contact Us" rather than a "Sign up" button?
Reviews are just text associated with a date and a place. Seems like someone should be able to build a simple app or website that the public can use and trust for reviews, that doesn't cost much to run. We don't need huge businesses liek TripAdvisor (which mysteriously doesn't let you sort results any more). There's a few challenges. Fake reviews is one. Also the self-selection bias - people generally only feel compelled to leave a review after a bad experience. Or, being supportive, will be overly generous with the rating.

Perhaps if the review site could somehow prompt recent patrons of a set of establishments to not rate but rank the establishments, then some algorithm could convert that into a global score/ranking. You, an otherwise disinterested citizen, receive an email or text asking you to rank restaurants A, B, C which you have recently visited. You are incentivised to respond by a prize draw or something. Would this work? The hard part I suppose is getting the contact details of the potential reviewers.
> Am I not a grown up for making this decision?

No, of course this is not the case. You made a decision based on priorities.

The headline of the article:

> Finish your projects
> Don’t let fear, or that last 10%, hold you back.

... and reading the article, it seems targeted at people who want to finish their projects, but are struggling with the reality of actually doing so.

GP seems to be talking about the same sort of thing --- giving up because the going got grindy.

It's of course fine to just screw around in your free time if the goal is to screw around in the first place. It's also fine to realize that some goal (project, etc.) you set no longer aligns with your priorities.

I feel like there are two groups of people here talking about different things but thinking they're the same.
> people who feel they have "imposter syndrome", but are actually imposters (not just newbies who are still learning), and convince themselves that they aren't after finding out about imposter syndrome.

I could be one of those. But the thing is: a) one can rarely tell. And b) one way to look at imposter syndrome isn't that everyone is actually great while feeling terrible; it's that most people are quietly struggling in a lot of ways, which they see in themselves, but which are hidden from others. We could mostly be (and likely are) mediocre.

So I can be struggling for real, and be a real "impostor", and be doing fine relative to the average population of my peers, all at once. I see many ways I'm struggling with things my peers seem to breeze through, but I might not see the ways I'm succeeding where they're quietly struggling themselves, and vice versa.
The problem remains delivering the app to the customer in my experience, unless something like flatpak can be used cross platform.

Unless picking a solution from the start and testing it throughout, I find that the most challenging.
