Seems pretty bad right now. A lot of companies, mine included, are in a hiring freeze. Some companies outside of big tech are hiring(I noticed quite a few jobs from banks), but a lot are expecting relocation or hybrid in addition to substantial pay cuts compared to tech salaries. I've had most of my recent applications rejected without even a recruiter call when in the past I had felt my resume was very strong.
A CoC might be just fine. GCC's looks nice -- basically "act professionally".

But, there are people out there who jump at the opportunity to take offense on someone else's behalf.

The female analog to "guys" seems to be "gals", but nobody uses that anymore, preferring "girls". The word "girls" is a word of automatic offense taking to some, even if everyone involved in the conversation is cool with it.

I've seen the "girls" one play out with someone stating that the women get a pass self-referencing and the guy who actually goes to lunch with them can't say it.

These same people who want to take offense are sometimes drawn to these CoC's -- either to implement or enforce them.

Then add in the desire to drop life changing punishments to such mild things. Say the wrong thing and get fired. See Python and the stupid dongle joke. That didn't need a video, that needed a brief reprimand of, "grow up" and it could have been done. Instead it got an interrogation and people fired -- and more CoC's for everything.

Holy crap, if some of these people had seen the 70's.
How to make a living, but not a fortune.
Yes. As per the original post above 200$. Advertising is what is omitted in the thumbnail estimate.
I did the things I was avoiding by finally getting an adhd diagnosis and stimulant medication. Life changing so far, so much easier to do what I want in personal and work life.
> As a small bootstrapped business, depending on the cost of the product, you just don't have too many costs.

The cost is in acquiring customers, as mentioned by the article. "Sales and marketing are both major time drains and you can't spend all your time doing them." I would say money drains too. A small business can't "make it up in volume" like a big business can.
When you say "cancel the purchase" do you mean you leave it in your cart, but don't pay for it? Or did you actually remove it from your cart and then re-add it later?

Most online purchase services have means of tracking which customers begin the checkout process, but backout or cancel after X amount of time, and leave the item in their cart. I seem to recall Squarespace having this listed as a feature for one of their pricier subscription options for their online retail service.
Teams around the world but also outsourcing. They had absolutely no issue working with people that didn't belong to the company, were less accountable, and couldn't be easily tested before being hired.

But now it's a big issue if I want to avoid traffic jam and work more in a peaceful environment.

I'm in the process of switching jobs, and when I'm offered less than 3 days of WFH, I increase my price but the recruiters still don't understand why. It's like COVID never happened and no one managed to adapt to this "old new thing" (because WFH is as old as the internet).
There are lots of languages where the gender-neutral term and one of the gendered terms are the same. Consider the Spanish "ellos", meaning either "the masculine group" or "the masculine and feminine group". The word "ellas" denotes a feminine-only group.

It seems very reasonable that "guys" could function similarly in English. Moreover, I might not say "the guys I've dated" as a straight man, but if all the women I've ever dated were talking together in a room, I wouldn't bat an eye asking "what are you guys all doing?".

Similarly, I wouldn't say "all the folks I've dated", but I might say "good evening, folks" -- the word is a misfit solely because of the idioms and context, not because the word is inherently communicating something else.
> Apple Vision Pro has an all-new App Store where users can discover amazing apps and content.

As an ex Daydream (R.I.P.) user, the app store screenshots look oddly familiar. Maybe Google can resurrect Daydream (probably under a new name, or just call it Daydream Pro?) and reuse some of their sunk investment as software for an actual VR/AR headset rather than a thingie where you have to insert your phone?
This was a retort people used against AirPods. They look like funny Q-tips sticking out of the user's ears. But really they don't look much different from earbuds, which people wear all the time, so shouldn't AirPods be fine? The response was that the wires on the earbuds make them socially acceptable.
Paxton Whitehead Dies at 85
This is year of our lord 2023. It is veritably impossible to tell one from the other.
Inertial guidance systems have been using visual reference to verify gyroscopic readouts since the 50's.

I see that quote as saying the visionPro verifies what the camera sees and what the IMU is describing to arrive at a realistic interpretation.

Forgive me if that wasn't a question.
The iPhone 4 was successful and even despite the fake controversy, the GSM version sold for three years without any changes.

It's funny that people with Prime membership complain about the violation of the 2-day delivery promise, while those who have canceled their membership receive their packages within approximately 2 days, despite no longer being subscribers.
Back then marketing was easier - just throw something up on eBay. But there are some 'hidden' costs not discussed.

I have a friend who did something similar back around the same time frame and he did pretty well. His niche was doing video tutorials on how to use new camera equipment. He needed to buy/own camera and video equipment. Luckily he already had it from is other endeavor as a photographer. He needed to have the skillset to the make and edit the video. Again, he had that from being a photographer. He ended up selling quite a lot of DVDs.

So the moral is to find a niche that leverages a lot of what you already have/know.
The USB-c port you use them with needs to support video output. Not all USB-C ports support that.

I also have them working (without audio) with my Playstation.
What they do with the IP matters. Using your IP address to serve the website, or even to do fraud/DDOS prevention, is perfectly fine.

Daddy, Are You an Influencer?
All my GW2 guilds at some point created discord servers and all life moved there and in time in-game chat channels become ghost towns.

When we moved from TS to discord the first noticeable change was audio quality and the fact that we "owned" the space - it no longer was a single audio channel on some community-run server. The links and media previews were also a nice novelty; nothing new anymore around social media at that point but it felt like this should be a standard feature. And years later this indeed become a standard feature around the Internet.
I am not a big Marshall McLuhan fan but this is what is meant by the medium is the message.

You are not going to have the same discussion in print that you have electronically and on social media. It doesn't matter what the subject is.

"Public discourse" really doesn't even mean the same thing to compare today with a 100 years ago.

A 100 years ago the person batting an eyelash would have simply not bothered to consume the media.

You also can't forget that we were a deeply religious society a 100 years ago and all those subjects listed had the appeal of forbidden fruit. That might even be a bigger change than the medium.

Of course I'm a chatbot, how dare you to think it was written by mere real person ;)
TLDR; avoid big consumer market, target small b2b market
It's fine. I have been getting a lot of inbound and am in the loop for most applications I've sent out.

The doomspelling of the tech job market is both overly exaggerated and heavily biased toward experiences of junior and intermediate developers. If you have a decade or more of experience, it's business as usual.
There comes a time in everyone's career when they realize that the "emergency situation" they are in never really ends. There is always a fire to put out. There is always a P0 bug that will sink the entire company if not fixed. There is always a release that absolutely cannot be delayed for any reason, and everyone must work nights and weekends to get it out.

The best you can do is learn to tune out management bullshit and identify what is really important. There is no point losing sleep over the rest. It will be there to work on tomorrow, and the day after.
>I wish there was a better way to get that message through other than experience.

There is, puritanical American culture just wont do it. Abstinence only education, whether for sex or drug consumption doesn't work.

It's completely viable to talk to kids about risk factors for different drugs. When I was growing up they acted like marijuana and heroin were the same risk factors.

'Drugs are fun until they aren't' is something kids can understand. We should also talk about how people are different and some people can do recreational drugs and never have a problem and others can do the same amounts of drugs at first and develop an addiction.
In SF and a heavy Amazon user: 2 day shipping has gone out the window. Rarely things arrive on their expected date and Amazon now seems to "hand things off" sometimes.

Just last week got a message saying an item was handed off to the local post office and I would have to come pick it up(!) I Was going to complain but the next day it was delivered anyway, by someone. They have consistently degraded their delivery to save a nickel.
Everything in JS started with callbacks, then promises came on to the scene with libraries like Bluebird, then the async/await syntax was added to the spec. The language was always able to handle concurrency but it was a long road to the current state.

Covers a lot of ground
Agree completely. The author also suggests that you don't want "see through" mode coming on everytime someone walks by, but that's exactly what I want. I don't want to be in a public area, even a plane, unaware of my surroundings.

If I'm watching on a 7" screen on a seatback, I still have peripheral vision. I want to maintain that. I want to see on the area that isn't the screen, I just want something bigger than 7", and the ability to do things besides just watch movies/TV (like, my own content or games....).

Basically, this is clickbait.
And that's when the attack comes-- not from the front, but from the side, from the other two trolls you didn't even know were there.

> The Code states, "Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable."

> Yet, targeting specific individuals with exclusion seems to be the main method of enforcement.

That's not the gotcha you think it is; enforcers get higher privileges to enforce. Cops have the authority to carry a gun and kill people; the army has the authority to carry and use guns that civilians don't.

"Take some time off" is a more friendly alternative to "you are unwanted / banned"; the former is trying to help them, the latter is excluding them.
I have farmed out work to Turks and tried to "go native" as a Turk and found I couldn't find HITs I could bear to do.

It used to be there were a lot of HITs that involved OCRing receipts but these were not receipts that were straightforward to OCR, they were receipts that failed the happy pass and that I thought there was no way I could transcribe them accurately in a reasonable amount of time considering what it paid.
Sure, but that's essentially just "we all agree capitalism sucks, right?" in more words. I'd rather I just get a free voice chat app forever, but given that that's not the way this current economy works, I'm going to take the wins where I can when a company is choosing to monetize in ways that are generally good for everyone involved.

Discord, thus far, has generally been monetizing in ways I find pretty generally positive. I'm going to celebrate that until they actually start monetizing in shittier ways.
...why did you willingly accept a job where you feel caged?
The lost Titan submersible vs. DC1 / challanger deep
Votes aren't "up for sale". You can't buy a vote. You have to buy property, which there is a very limited amount of, and it isn't cheap. And you still only ever get one vote max. And any issue that's "down to the wire" might be decided by any voter. And property owners are people who are quite literally invested in the community, even more so than full-time renters.

But your original question was whether there is any compelling reason for property owners to vote, and I gave you various examples.

It's fine that you think voting should be restricted to permanent residence, but I hope you can see that there are valid arguments on the other side as well.
Convenience doesn't require centralization nor a walled-garden approach. It's just not a priority to the people developing the alternatives.

Let's use Lemmy as an example. The current UI makes it clear at all times where the communities and the users are located. It's nice to provide such information, but in the end it should not matter, and thus it should not be wasting premium UI space. Same thing goes with the community list: the "subscribed" section works as expected, but "local" should never be the default view, because in the end, users shouldn't have to care where communities are hosted. Finally, the search feature should be much more explicit in describing the corpus of data being searched: "all known communities", "communities federated into this instance", "local communities". All new users think it's #1, but #1 doesn't exist, it's #2, and this leads these users to think they have to be on one of the big instances if they want to participate in a larger community.

It's almost like federation was an afterthought.
Maybe it's also the lack of unit availability but the fact that you could not communicate with friends made it a non-starter.
Surely if Google Fiber started EU operations they would also need DPA approval?

The point is that fiber would require a lot more approvals than many of the pure software projects. Also afaik, fiber never launched in EU and exists in many less locations than Bard.
Ish. You can also have error recovery in the form of the "conditions/restarts" system of common lisp. Such that you can have "look nice" things if you want with many different setups.
AI Hapsburg syndrome is real
What do you mean "nope?" You're implying that PageRank makes MORAL judgements about the content, and you know it doesn't. It CAN'T. All it can know are metrics like incoming links and traffic. You're using "value judgement" here in a completely wrong way. Your definition of "value" and Google's are very different. And, honestly, I'm flummoxed why this is so confusing.
Meta’s promised Quest 2 performance enhancements arrive with version 55 update
So teaching your children native languages of their parents as well as letting them play with sounds when they are young "reeks of status signalling" to you. I mean you gotta be careful these days not to let you kids have fun with learning or exposure to various activities. God forbid they learn a language or some music before the time you deem proper or in a way the parent chooses - unbearable elitism!

When people share stories like that they don't necessary expect applause or criticism. Honestly it's not your place to express it and against the site guidelines as well. If you want to learn about commenting just read what most of others have done in this thread - they commented about the topic at hand which is perfect pitch, early exposure to music and various ways to approach it.

I certainly have learnt something from those and got to read some interesting related stories.
I would love to see a wrapper around all API calls which is metered by default. Showing usage and meters which you can set at a per-integration level, per-user, per-key, per-function level.

Congrats on launching this, there's lots of ways to deal with this, but would love a metering standard much like we have one around tracing.
I mean unless you are already wealthy what's the alternative?

Basically you're saying "get a job."
That's a completely different question than that raised by benmmurphy. Again, this is something that will have been discussed at extreme length in the literature, legislative bodies, and the courts over a period of many decades (EITC dates to the '70s, but the scholarship, discussion, and thinking behind it go back further than that).

If I had to guess, it would look something like:

- poverty is bad for our country, so we should try to alleviate it.

- here's a plan that will help

- but it will help Black people more than white people, maybe we shouldn't do it (this is a recurring theme in US governance)

- that's not ideal, but there is a history to consider (said "history" ended legislatively 7 years prior to the EITC being enacted so a nudge in the other direction likely did not feel unfair to those enacting the EITC).

Generally, Americans are more okay with having government help the needy than actively target anybody. This is why there's not a broad push (yet) to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, etc.
> I don't know what they (Discord) did right to get communities to lock up all of their community and data into such a hard-to-index walled garden.

I wonder why they not let google index their content. It would only drive extra traffic to them from google search, wouldn't it?
Being for-profit doesn't work as a blanket excuse for shitty behavior.
Really interesting because it’s amazingly accurate for me and has very consistently given me amazing recommendations every week

"The Quest 2 will get a 19 percent GPU speed increase while Quest Pro owners will get an 11 percent jump. Both of the VR headsets are also getting up to 26 percent performance increases in CPU power as well, according to Meta."
Probably did it because the EU needs this for political acceptance. It should have been made clear to people, that any form of social security system will need to be harmonized. I guess this was just the first step to increase pension age and in general it will always converge on the lowest common denominator for normal workers.
There are plenty of opportunities for a business that don’t require conforming to some standard. You also don’t hear about the multitude of businesses that had no problem selling to other businesses, only the times where it didn’t go as planned, i.e. who writes a blog post about a modestly successful business that does $1MM ARR with a 1-2 employee setup serving maybe 10-25 clients because they write a niche software integration that connects two different systems or some tiny internal tool that alleviates a pain point?

Per-user pricing for companies works very well if you want to sell to small companies because they only need to pay for what they use. Counterintuitively, larger enterprises would rather pay more per user if they can be guaranteed of a fixed price for a given term. It makes it easier to budget.
Using Bloom filter indexes for real-time text search in ClickHouse
It's an interesting bit of context. I also grew up with guys as a generic plural, but it's not really generic, rather it's a mixed group plural. It would feel just as natural to say "the people I date", as "the women I date", but never "the guys I date.

Even that's a weak rule though. For example if a girls soccer team performed really well you might hear someone say "those guys really gave it their all today" (though I'd say this usage is mostly dead, I don't think I've heard it this way in a long time), but never "THE guys really gave it their all today".

I'm sure some linguists have studied this and have a term for this kind of thing.
Remind me, what level of the fictive universe are we in today?
Adding to this, your 24" (I think?) 1200p monitor is on the lower end of pixel density at 94dpi, so even if the Vision Pro can produce a similar experience to your monitor it would still be a significant downgrade from any computer display that Apple currently makes, which nowadays are 220-250dpi across the board.
No, I'm saying "consider getting a partner / cofounder"
This is the same group of people who overhired so much they needed layoffs immediately after. There is no long-term vision here. There is corporate real estate and executive hubris and control. They live in entirely different worlds than most of us.

It seems you know a lot about what the silent majority wants, given they're apparently silent.

What would you replace it with? And what is the stuff being debated? I thought a code of conduct (or any form of "rules") was to prevent debates, avoid ambiguity, and clearly outline what is and isn't allowed in a community. (or outside one, which I do have a problem with. One of the rules of my forums, alongside an all-encompassing "don't be a dick", is a rule saying you shouldn't take drama from other sites to ours.)
"Context for me but not for thee" is not a principled argument.

Man I feel out of sync with the hivemind sometimes. Young 20-something and work from home seems to effectively be the standard for most programming work, and it makes me wish I pursued a different career. I hate being stuck at home, video calling to endless pfps, and never seeing a single coworker’s face.
This is surprising since Stallman has said strict CoCs are repressive.
> What's a starting teacher make in your area?

$60k first year, $80k in year 5, $100k by year 10.

> How does that compare to others with bachelor's degrees?

$50k first year, $55k in year 5, 10 year information not available.

But isn't this like asking how does the pay compare to others who take a vacation during the summer or some other irrelevant metric? Maybe things are different where you are, but here we can clearly see in the data that there was no change to incomes as people started attaining bachelor degrees – incomes have held as stagnant as stagnant can be – so it is not like a bachelors degree has an impact on pay. Is there relevance to the question?

It is true that the school system works to filter out those with disabilities and other life struggles; factors which do impact earning potential. Are you asking with the intent to see if teachers make more than someone with down syndrome or some such condition?
