> But the point that people are upset about is that Google is going against a principle it had publicly committed to. Principles don't count for much if you only follow them when there's no cost to doing so.

This is surprising to literally nobody who's paid even a cursory amount of attention to Google over the past 20+ (and especially 15) years.
I found I just can't stand having my toes constricted like that. I also can't stand to wear hats. I think those two things are related.
Random trivia: CIA and Pentagon forced Finland to stop making those because we were selling them to the Soviet Union.

The people who did them moved on and retired, we pretty much forgot how to make more.
> most analog-style synthesizers still use the same basic oscillator waveforms (sawtooth, sine, triangle, square), some ADSR envelope variant and some LFO's.

We are basically talking about the user interface, not the underlying synthesis engine/implementation. There is quite a bit of variety among synth interfaces that otherwise follow the standard subtractive synth mechanism of producing sound.
How do parents not know how bad the school is? Are you not, on a daily basis asking what they learned in school and challenging them on it?

I do it whenever I have a chance with my niece and nephew. They're learning about multiplication? We're doing times tables in the car trip. History of some Native American tribe? What happened, who were their leaders, etc.

With my son it's simpler stuff - what color is this? What letter is that? Does our house have a door? And it's mainly my wife and I teaching him, but still - evaluation is critical.

During the lockdown it took my sister one to two weeks to move her kids to private schools.

I can't imagine not understanding, first intuitively, and second empirically, that online education is a poor fit for young children.
FWIW this echoes another comment further up the page.
yeah my first pair were a specialized shoe and my foot went numb from the bridge being squished. i have some crankbros and fiveten which are both much wider, though for road i hear shimano have pretty comfy toeboxes.
As a vegan I applaud every step towards the elimination of animal exploitation, this product might be a nice niche for transitioning but once you get accustomed to plant based whole foods you feel strange eating even “meat replacers” as for the environmental impact I don’t think it can get any worst than animal agriculture.
Isn't the kernel API banned from usage by userspace applications that aren't kernel32.dll (plus deliberately breaks ABI all the time) ? I can appreciate the strengths of the NT kernel, but if nobody is allowed to use it... (I suppose kernel drivers can, but that's still a very narrow range of applications)

Also, while IOCP has the advantage of being older w.r.t. availability, I wonder how io_uring competes - I haven't used IOCP myself, but from what I've seen io_uring seems to fill its role quite well and I've seen several people complain about various problems with IOCP (in particular poor documentation)

RLHF: A New Dawn for Product Research and Development
I'd say the notable drop in quality and activity in open subs that aren't protesting is a good indicator that there is some truth to that assertion.
Proof would be hard to produce, but instead you can try to answer the question what would be the motivation?
Why? It is still around and it is better than it ever was.
Yeah, I'm beginning to think you're probably right. Although J1772 is a real standard, NACS is rapidly becoming a de facto "real" standard, and it completely subsumes the purpose of J1772 plus it works for DCFC. NACS is slightly less clunky than J1772 also.
Yes, I had a freelance client for a website like this somewhat recently. The best part was whenever we had to spend extra time to make something look right, I was told that "it should be fast and easy, just follow the figma exactly" - which of course, did not work, because css does not render in browsers the way the figma designer looks.
Yes, toe socks take longer to put on. Also, not normal socks squeeze your toes, give blisters or cause other problems for most uses.

I always wear toe socks for very long runs or hikes, like > 2 hours, but don’t find the extra time to put on toe socks is worth it most of the time.
And yet classical OCR techniques continued to dominate. Nothing happened in the industry on that front for over 20 years. That's as academic as it gets.
There is a lot of evidence that the lockdowns harmed the education of a generation of children, did massive damage to the economy, permanently shuttered thousands of small businesses, and we all still got COVID.

With the benefit of hindsight, it’s really hard to argue that lockdowns were the right call.
The geocentric model does not put humans in the center though.

At best you could argue it puts humans relatively close to the center, but the geocentric model also operates with a smaller solar system.

And the implied “closer to the center is better” is not justified. E.g. Dante literally puts the devil in the middle of the universe.
Serverless Isn't
We’re taking about a database that stores on the order of 1KB per customer. The product operating costs round down to zero per customer.

The only real expenses would be dealing with customer service and card fraud. While it’s possible that those costs could be substantial, Google isn’t exactly known for throwing a lot of money at customer service.

This is what I do. They're technically "slippers", but they have actual soles so I consider them slip-on shoes.
> Much of the world's most important advancements were made before any practical use could be seen.

In a sense, yes. But usually this was kind of accidental - as in, people making those breakthroughs weren't doing it because they loved manipulating abstract symbols, or believed that someone, somewhen will find it useful; rather, they had some immediate-term reason for doing the work - a problem to solve, a person to impress, or just doing it for shits and giggles - and only later it turned out their work was the key to something transformative.

I have a similar "mental make" as GP too. Over the years I realized that for me, it's not about practical use to me - it's about knowing why something was invented, what problems the inventors were trying to solve. Learning the historical motivation "grounds" the concept for me, and makes it much easier to understand.
The VS Code extension looks cool but I don't understand Dev Mode. Are you saying you could not click on elements in Figma to see the properties before? How do you edit things?

Considering my question I'm obviously not a Figma user so maybe I've misunderstood it.
Love it.

This response is very reactive heavy, where as it’s elixir I’m more interested in.

But well done on the execution. It does exactly what it states.

> In some sense, can virtue signal all I want, because I have no children.

Well, you're admitting there's no personal cost to your advocacy, which makes sense and I can't really argue you're not entitled to feel that way. Like in criminal justice reform, homelessness advocacy, etc. everyone is a liberal until the first time they get robbed, the first time someone smashes their car window, etc. Personal cost has a way to delivering reality to people who are disconnected from it.

> It's very much in my interest that education be distributed evenly

If there was no cost to the high performing students to keep everyone in public schools, I would actually 100% agree with you. But limiting the upper percentiles' outcomes to deliver almost negligible changes to the bottom percentile doesn't seem fair, either.
HR exists to protect the business. Do not do this. Odds are very high you will get blown on the door asap after this conversation. OP should be looking for their next job immediately while establishing a robust paper trail in the event they can demonstrate a hostile work environment or illegality at their current employer.

They've got no leverage. They need to protect themselves and derisk.

Better to shut down than sell people's data without consent. Better still to seek consent, but between what they're actually doing and simply shutting down and deleting customer data, the latter would be preferable.

Edit: If anybody disagrees, I have a question to ask you: How would you feel if Google sold your youtube view history to the likes of Facebook, Tiktok, or Palantir? Better for them to ask first, or simply delete it. This SHOULD be required by law.

That's my point, the guy who had the issue in the first place is doing the same thing you are.

It's only the boss that wants to pay for a safety net, forcing the issue of raising a ticket is their validation of money well spent I highly suspect. We're all human beings who are quite technical on this forum, you work for RH, the other guy works for someone else.

I have a suspicion that RH support is what the boss pays for as a backup should their employees be unable to solve a problem or decide to go to pastures new, as people do from time to time.
But the 42% is the max tax-rate. As the tax itself is increasing dynamically, you are paying less for the income before the limit. So the average tax for your income is usually lower.
For example: A single will pay 42% for income above 60k, but the tax for the 60k income is more like 26%.
>> “The engineering has moved way ahead of the science,” Luck said. “We built the systems and they’re doing wonderful things, but we don’t fully understand how they’re doing it.”

Yes, we do. It's just that _some_ people like to pretend we don't understand them, that it's all a great big mystery, because that makes it look all a lot more interesting than it really is, like when scientists are interviewed about their work and say "I was really surprised!" or "I didn't expect that!" (wait, didn't you say that's what you 're going to do, in the Case for Support of your research grant?).

Then again, the people who normally say those things about LLMs are the same people who spent the last 20-odd years furiously tweaking their models to beat the next benchmark, rather than doing anything remotely like the work of science, so maybe it's not an exaggeration to say that "the engineering has moved ahead of the science". For some, it sure has. But those "some" would not know a scientific result if it came up and bit them in the behind.
The fact is that the vast majority of people who go into "education" do it because it is the one of the least demanding career paths. Yes, there are some "true believers" who go into teaching because they truly seek to make a difference, but they are the tiny minority. Majoring in education is even less rigorous than majoring in liberal arts and is more akin to majoring in gender studies or basket weaving. This is even more true of the administrators who bloat the schools and drain crucial funding from actual teachers and classrooms while adding nothing in terms of educational value (and often detracting from it). But teachers certainly aren't entirely to blame for the mess we've gotten into to - there is more than enough blame to go around. The unfortunate truth is that our educational system is horribly broken, corrupt and inefficient. We hear far more from the leadership of the teacher's union and from school administrators about diversity nonsense than we do about the fact that they are churning out a generation of kids who are not literate and cannot do basic math. The "remote learning" nonsense was the final nail in the coffin as far as many public schools were concerned. They were already on life support before the pandemic when it came to academic achievement, and "remote learning" pulled the plug entirely. "Chronic school absenteeism", defined as missing at least 15 days of school per year (3 school weeks) is 16% nationally, and much higher in many large cities. Achievement is so bad that states like New York are lowering their standards across the board so that it appears that more students are proficient.

When a massive number of kids aren't even showing up at schools, teachers aren't very well educated, administrators are more interested in promoting their social and political agenda than they are in teaching children how to read and write and standards for achievement are being lowered and/or eliminated you end up with the situation we have today.

Unfortunately, this is a great example of how insulated and abnormal mastodon communities can be and part of why I don't think it will take off as we all want it to as a Twitter substitute.

For the people who don't understand this: basically, there's a content warning you have to give in this community when you post a picture including a person looking into the camera. The reason is around how autistic people can sometimes feel uncomfortable with eye contact.
I write business logic and I use a fair amount of object pooling. It's not quite the same as in game dev or e.g. a socket pool or worker pool where you're constantly swapping tons of things in and out, but it can still be helpful to speed up the user experience, manage display resources and decrease database load.

One example would be endless-scrolling calendar situations, or data tables with thousands of rows, or anything where I'm using broader pagination in the database calls than I want to in the display chain; maybe I can call up 300 upcoming reservations every time the calendar moves, erase the DOM and redraw 300 nodes, but I'd rather call up 3,000 all at once and use a reusable pool of 300 DOM nodes to display them.

Sure, it's not glamorous...
This sounds like a case study for biz school in the 2030s.
I never said he said it or suggested it.
I've always believed that schools should see themselves as community centers. They should invite everyone in their tax base for activities, especially parents. They should do little BBQs, potlucks, have little plays or movie nights, etc.

They should offer all children in their tax base breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. They should encourage students to stay after for sports, to read in the library, or just to hangout.

Basically schools should be like libraries or churches. I hate that the culture is moving in the other direction.
If you already have 5,800 units what's the harm of adding "typical refrigerator (volume)", "typical washing machine (volume)", "American football field (area)", etc...?
Sorry if I wasn't sufficiently clear. The principle I was talking about was this one, from Sundar Pichai, referenced in the tweet thread:

> To make privacy real, we give you clear, meaningful choices around your data. All while staying true to two unequivocal policies: that Google will never sell any personal information to third parties, and that you get to decide how your information is used.

The parent commenter was presenting a false dichotomy, as if either selling the product or shutting it down were the only options. But there's no reason that has to be the case.

And even if it was -- which seems unlikely to me -- shutting down the product and giving users the option to switch to a different provider would be more ethical than just selling their data without asking for consent.
Get yourself a job at one of the social media giants, or one of the ad tech companies and see the investments they make into engagement and addicting young people to their apps and devices. It’s appalling. Not many kids are reading articles on the internet, they’re consuming TikTok for hours. The newfangled Internet thing can be a blessing and a curse, and it can curse some more than others.

This would not meaningfully impact profitability for Reddit, the payouts need not be “large” from Reddit’s perspective to be a substantial amount of money to individual moderators.
I've also had great experiences with Tumbleweed for the most part, but be careful using ZFS, as it frequently breaks with updates. Probably not something most people use, but it does force me to run Leap on my home server.
That means working on features that don't have short terms profitability. Can't have that, Huffman has an IPO to cash out on.

But yes. This isn't just some freak accident explosion from mods. This has been bubbling up for at least 7 years and is partially a result of Reddit refusing to help their free labor continue to give free labor.

Which is sad because it WORKED. Mods just made their own tools or used the tools of other. But now Reddit is taking those tools away instead of promising better native support.

C, is high level language that happens to map really well to hardware. Much of UB is UB simply because it difficult to effectively detect when something goes in to a state of UB. Writing to a memory address can be done in one instruction, but figuring out if that address is legal to write to is a slow and complicated process. The C standard let an implementation ignore that problem, but it is also does not stopping the implementation from making sure the address is valid before writing to it. Almost no one tries to make such an implementation, because the users have decided they would rather have speed, but anyone can write a ISO compliant implementation without any UB if that's what they want.
I tried to take the "shoes off in the house" thing seriously for a while but I'm back to just letting the floor be dirty.

You need a pair of shoes at every exit and you need to enter the way you last exited and you need to set whatever you're carrying down to put your shoes on and take them off all the time. Plus your guests who don't have a shoe at every doorway end up cold inside or walking around in their socks outside, and it's not like I can get the dog to wash her feet at the door... It's just too much.

Down is where the dirt goes.

Taking away the INSPECT tab and then charging me $25 per seat to use its replacement is insane to me. I love the integrated feel of having these things in Figma, but these paywall barriers are becoming a big adoption issue for my design and eng team.

Last year we all kind of switched to Figjam from Miro and it's been a good transition — and the Net Dollar Retention of Figma is insanely high at 200%+. So they probably want to keep that going... but this just seems like too hard a squeeze.
I remember when you left, I’m still there as a moderator.

Back then, when there were a dozen of you it was easier to reach an admin when needed than now, heh.
Most teachers I’ve talked with wish that parents were more involved in their students education. Doing things like reading to your children starting from birth (or better yet in the womb), reviewing their homework, and discussing the importance of their grades and education in their long term success go a very long way.
Reddit can automate the content generation with ml. They have the perfect dataset to continue generating successful posts and comments into the future. They have seeded conversations in the past. Spez is confident he no longer requires a core community of humans; humans that have feelings and stage protests.
Internally; I believe google is super averse to anything that scales linearly or faster than linearly. - at least as a rule.

So it doesnt matter, i speculate, if it was earning $1M in profit a year for 10M domains if they need to employ 50 call center staff - and for the next 10M domains they need to hire another 50 call center staff— I think they would rather pull the plug.

Which I personally would never do, but, it is in line with other decisions they’ve made and how I have heard key people talk about googles leadership externally.
Dude, that is wild! I mean, I know about the distortion but still watching Indonesia span that width is crazy. Or the bits about Brazil's Northernmost and Easternmost, or China's Westernmost.

> if there is a large study on this

I'm not sure what "this" is, though. The question isn't well-posed, so I'm not sure what you would study.

Absolutely there are many public school teachers that report that they are spending a lot of time teaching "to the test" rather than what they consider important. And this is a case of misaligned incentives. Overall mastery is important for the student's outcome going forward; the outcome of this, say, 5th grade standardized test doesn't affect their educational trajectory at all.

But the outcome of that test is very important to the school's perception and the teacher's career.

We'd all love better tests that really measure what we're trying to inculcate in students. But we also want tests that are easy to grade and very quantitative, which is in opposition to the other goal.
