TBH I don't know that she would have fared much better. One, because it sounds like the Air Force guy is thin-skinned, and two, because even peaceful anti-war protestors have generally been met with disdain and/or tear gas.

But I also dislike the idea that offensive language is somehow not pacifist behavior, whereas developing weapons of war is perfectly fine so long as you're polite about it. Regardless of how you feel about weapons of war, it's hard to deny that they hold a certain non-neutral weight.
There's a great Mike Monteiro talk about contracting titled, "Fuck you; Pay me", so yes, it's not unheard of at all.
It doesn't seem so different from what higher level languages becoming the norm has done year by year. You still benefit from knowing what's going on under the hood, but it's not strictly necessary, and lots of newer folks in software careers get by without ever really looking behind the curtain. My web dev colleagues barely touch a debugger.

Bitmovin (YC S15) Is Hiring a Technical Support Engineer in India
> these are children in schoo

Policies apply to secondary education, i.e. high school. You are an adult in higher grades of high school.
I’m an IT contractor working in gov, and I’ve worked in a huge number of autocratic governments around the world that would be considered “the bad guys”. Many of the regimes that mistreat their citizens and workers.

And you know who’s always there with big contracts and consultants?

That’s right: VMware (and oracle and others…)

If one were to start virtue signaling (which I’m clearly not prone to do given my work history) I think it’s hard to argue that the DOD is worse than VMWare.
I'm not a free speech absolutist[0], but if there's one speech one ought to be free to do, it's to write mean things about a government body (or deals with one) in a country that has a constitutional right to free speech.

[0] neither is the US, despite what it says; I am however a free-speech maximalist, and the differences between these positions includes but is not limited to acknowledging that some speech chills other speech.
If you maliciously and repeatedly attack people on Twitter, customers no less, while at a work conference on work’s dime then you belong in kindergarten, not having a professional job. Thankfully VMWare fixed that.
You’re free to say funny words on twitter, they’re free to fire you for it. Everyone wins.

Or you think you can be obnoxious clown without repercussions?
Tumblr maybe though they did it to support advertisers, Twitter is doing it seemingly at odds with them.

Is OnlyFans really social media?
This is incredible mental gymnastics. Unless it's clear otherwise, especially in public, it's a personal attack.
Gap in Irish inventions after Whiskey was invented
Even for AI/ML mine is restricted to vision/graphics. I have some experience with classical ML methods but they dwarf the experience in deep learning based methods. Even there most of my skills are around prototyping and research. I don’t have confidence to apply at all. Therefore I wanna transition to something manageable. The skills at the most venues are really beyond what I have.

I am not being humble, I am just saying I suck quite bad at it.
The crazy thing is, if everyone suddenly vanished the stock market would continue while the power grid is still up and the automated high frequency trading continues. There is no value because there are no people to infer value but the structure of it would persist for a little while.
If you insult people on twitter then you belong in the kindergarten.
It's the "live-tweeting" aspect. You're not showing a basic level of respect to the nature of the conversation.
I get that about dollars and stocks, but people who hold gold out of fear that the music is going to stop don't realize the same musical chairs problem applies to precious metals unless you physically have custody of them.
Note the gap between the 14th and 17th century.
I think you just don't need Rust. Your comment suggests that you didn't even try to learn the language or maybe hoped that you'll master it just by looking at it?

It's a complex language with unique properties, and it's syntax was carefully crafted towards it's goals - high performance, close to hardware, no runtime, memory safety etc.
Sending it to Ricks ))

But I would check it meticulously at the top, middle, and bottom on every cylinder, in two axis, before bolting it together. Trust, but verify.
She was right to speak out, and her employer was within its rights to fire her. As long as she subsequently found a job at a company that comes closer to sharing her values, it sounds like a win-win.
I'm pro free speech and hate when people get cancelled for their beliefs. I don't think firing was appropriate based on the story told in the article, but also recommend not acting like the author. Not to avoid being fired but to follow the basic life rule "don't be a dick".
Careful with leaps like that.
Maybe we could say that advertising revenue is toxic to community spaces? If they really want to be the town square, well nobody wants a town square that’s primarily billboards and advertising. People who actually live in New York don’t go to Times Square, and there is functionally no actual community there.

As an counterexample, Discord specifically is trying a subscription “free-to-play” model. I think this could work pretty well for future sites - a little more expression or some cosmetics to make you stand out, but still a very usable and unobtrusive service.
I find it very hard to believe that you are arguing in good faith at this point.
If you have signed an employment contract, then it's perfectly normal to be required to restrict your personal opinions when you are representing your employer.

This isn't some dystopian concept. This is how grownups behave. You are welcome to be an edgelord on your own time anonymously.
There is nothing political to say "If Kubernetes is good for DoD weapon* systems, it is definitely good enough for your business!".

I'm sure that every software engineer can think about complexities that DoD experience in their work with software. Some are highly technical in hard environments and with reliability requirements

Validating idea, share some feedback (Event planning)
Hey!

I'm looking for some honest feedback for my new landing page.
Looking what to improve so the idea is clear only from opening landing page.

About the app:

Eventt.pro - Simplifying Your Event Planning Process

Looking for an corporate event planner, a wedding planner or kids birthday animator to help you organize your upcoming event can be a daunting task. With not so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the right person or team to bring your vision to life.
Fortunately, there's a solution to simplify your search and booking - Eventt.Pro

Key things:

Simplified Search Process
Detailed Profiles (with reviews)
Booking Made Easy

I would appreciate some feedback on idea too.
Yeah, it's an amazing rubber duck.

Even in the IDE I'll sometimes just write comments like (arbitrary example out of thin air):

// Q: Should we use a for loop or a while loop here?
// A:

It doesn't always have a great answer, but as you say, it almost always helps my own thinking about it, which is often much more valuable.
What's your source for the mocking tone? Is lizthegrey known for tweeting about hr proceedings in a moving tone?

Also, what is tweeting if not "speaking publicly"?

And what are workplace conditions if not "how I am disciplined at work"?
Just before the point they built this, I was already chaining queries together to do this. I built a plugin system with bits of JS code that are eval'd and arguments injected.

They couldn't have released this at a better time, I have about 30 plugins and i'd say it manages to get the right one about 90% of the time as opposed to about 70 with my hacked together version (but I guess I wrote it and know what to say so maybe that's a bit skewed)
To be honest, it doesn't bother me because I've moved to other platforms. The main reason I log on to twitter is to see if anyone I follow has moved to another platform.
Bullshit. Bringing someone from outside a business to a conversation that "slightly livetweets" what is being said is totally not acceptable. I invite you to bring an outside party to your next business meeting, standup or all hands meeting and have them "slightly livetweet" it. You will find the door before the meeting ends.

Businesses have every right to some level of obscurity on what happens internally. There is a very clear difference between using a tape recorder or your smartphone to record a conversation (after clearly stating that you will do so!) and having someone without any relation to the company present and blurbing everything into the ether.
It was literally written in 2nd sentence of the post

I was attending KubeCon on behalf of my then-employer, VMware.
It used to be that you have to fiddle with a lot of fontconfig settings to get decent rendering results, but they've been shipping mostly sane defaults for quite a while now.

Hinting for some reason still has to be enabled manually, but very lightweight tools like `lxappearance` make that a single click, if you don't want to touch XML by hand.

For the past 15 years, my desktop has been

• openbox (also handles keyboard shortcuts etc., can be configured visually with obconf, which can also handle font settings iirc)

• picom (for compositing; before, the tools it was forked from)

• dunst (for notifications)

• arandr (for configuring external displays)

• flameshot (for screenshotting)

• Random LXDE bits as necessary (lxpanel at the absolute minimum, lxsession when I need to deal with polkit things, lxappearance sometimes)

It doesn't do much in terms of system configuration etc., but I didn't find I need much anyway these days. Printers etc. I no longer use, and most system settings can be configured with systemd's localectl/timedatectl once and left alone.
I don't know anything about this person, but I would definitely hire them just because of this story! I like this kind of ppl and i dislike bootlickers, suckers and ppl without a spine
Firing employees who publicly abuse people is in no way similar to committing genocide.

To imply that it is is grossly offensive.
What?

While I have an internal meeting I would NOT assume someone is life tweeting this.
https://eventt.pro
It makes them look so bad. Also that bit about their friend live-tweeting the private meeting with the VP??! I had to scroll up and check this wasn't fiction.
I'm in the market for my first EV. And yeah, the VWs don't look good. Teslas of course are way better, but also more traditional designs from someone like Hyundai are still superior.
> To ensure the authenticity of our user base we must take extreme measures to remove spam and bots from our platform. That’s why we temporarily limited usage so we could detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that are harming the platform. Any advance notice on these actions would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection.

Ah, so they're intentionally making everybody suffer to punish the bad guys, and promising that everything will be peachy keen afterwards.

This sounds essentially identical to the Indian government's justification for suddenly demonetizing the 500 and 1000 rupee notes in 2016, leading to massive cash shortages.

This directly led to 1.5M people losing their jobs, a stock market crash, and GDP dropping by at least 1%. The silver lining was that it also kick-started the Indian digital payments system.
Encapsulation Is Not Always Desirable
Reddit didn't committed suicide but completely gave up on its core focus. Like an Athlete that decided "Screw it, I want KFC for every meal!" and then dies from morbid obesity related stuff a decade later.

Same thing but on a different time scale.
It's rude, sure, but I still fail to see how that rises to the level of attack? What harm is intended or possible from a comment like that? Are all rude comments attacks?
Important piece of context: "double" here means from unplayable at 1080p with 10 fps to still unplayable at 20 fps. And apparently much lower than the weaker M1 Max (according to the included video).

Not mentioning that context in the written article is ... not great journalism.
>you’re all confirming that contributing to corporate capitalism is incompatible with personal freedom

Isn't it obvious? You're literally giving away more than a third of your life working these jobs to do things that you don't personally want or benefit from. You think the more restrictive thing that is being really imposed on you is being unable to tweet "Fuck you" instead of spending like half of your waking time away from your family and loved ones?

I'm personally not a fan of capitalism conceptually, not just the corporate kind, but it always strikes me as weird how other leftists think that's the unthinkable part, that someone would fire you for speaking out of line while still acknowledging that the other party is part of an organization that kills thousands and suppresses nations for oil for example.
He now (not at first) wants to turn it into and 'everything app', like Wechat.

Impossible, I know.
They are a business, not a social club, and so they will do whatever safeguards that business (maximises its profits). If an employee tells a customer to 'fuck off', they are going to fire them, as its not good for business.
If they want to own a name, they should trademark it.
I’d like to see you actually using this as a sales pitch to your client.

This isn't anything particularly corporate. If you worked at a mom and pop restaurant and mouthed off with this level of vitriol about the customers you should expect to be fired.

I don't think there's any discussion about whether the OP had the right to make such comments. The employer also had a right to no longer employ them. Nobody's personal expression rights were violated, just the expression had consequences.
Ponies are kinda their own thing, despite the slight overlap with furries.

No idea what noun the former use for the thing, though there's probably a dozen here who will add that detail…

So does life. I think we should lock the children in school from the beginning of the education period, without the access to the external, disctracting life. They can leave when they are 18.
An absolute mess is what it is. The most consistent he’s been has been his claim he wants to make the “everything app” “X”. But that’s all it has been so far. A claim. He seems to think he can do it backwards. Charge for it first and later add the value that people would want.
This looks to be complete nonsense.

Scraping services work by going through thousands of intermediate proxies run on unsuspecting people's compromised computers. Each scraping request will be a unique IP with a normal looking header.

They may be able to look at the number of unique requests per account but given the ridiculous amount of spam/bots that exist clearly creating new accounts isn't an impediment.

The far more likely scenario is that they were throttled by AWS/GCP for not paying bills and are behind on their migration project.
Does The Economist still have a statistics page at the back of the print magazine? It's been a while since I picked up the physical edition, but suppose we had a digital version of the magazine and you could footnote primary sources like you did in this thread and stash them at the end, after the stats summary.
Open Letter from Security Researchers in Relation to the Online Safety Bill [pdf]

Strange they should mention spam when these last few days I've seen a steady stream of near identical advertisers appear in spam-like ads.

The advertisers have very similar profile pictures which look generated, use a particular colour palette, and all sell the same sort of unwanted junk.
Despite a mix of blocking/muting, a new one pops up every few hours!
I recently tried to write a simple classificator using pytorch with ChatGPT. I found out that I cannot use the recent version of pytorch, but only the one was in use before ChatGPT knowledge cutoff. That also meant that I was limited by using Python 3.9, because most September 2021 libraries had no readily available builds for 3.10+.

And this is quite particular example. Software evolves quickly, ML models are expensive to train, and the gap will be mostly there anyway.
A tuple does have a upper limit of 10 000 elements, which means that with this approach we can count to 10 000 at most.

Another approach which I tried is to do arithmetics on digits directly, storing digits in a tuple instead, but the code is not as elegant as the tuple one

I have had a different life from you. I've been homeless, I've been wealthy, I've lived in many cultures and communities from suburbs to communes. I've worked tech I've worked as day labor moving soil by hand. I guarantee you that language (and especially the use of curse words), varies wildly.
Let me guess, you're of those people who say that phrases like "kill all men" do NOT mean "kill all men", but something <wall of text here>?

At best this is extreme playing with words, and at worst this is just mental gymnastics

Fuck you is fuck you, this is rude and as personal as it gets.
It would seem that the legal vindication from the NLRB decision on non-disparagement clauses is the true victory.
I'm not a tweetin' man myself, but if I were doing business with a company and one of their employees was publicly trash-talking me, I'd probably get pissed and complain to my contacts at that company

I wouldn't explicitly dig around to try and figure out who a pseudonymous person is to try and get them in trouble though
Right, but does it follow that "attending on behalf of" equates to "representing the company's official views and opinions"?

I guess what I'm really asking is whether an outside observer would genuinely assume her tweets were indicative of VMware's official stances on anything, or whether they'd assume she was just one cog in their employee machine. Or maybe it's somewhere in the middle.
> DoD weapons systems are certainly just as political.

It’s not. Maybe insensitive to contra-war, but not political.
> I reiterate that you’re all confirming that contributing to corporate capitalism is incompatible with personal freedom.

Nah, she should have quit and exercised her personal freedom to work for an employer she doesn't think is a war criminal. _That's_ how capitalism works, vote with your labor/dollar. Instead, she fought tooth and nail to keep that corporate job and the blood money that came with it.
The NTSB should have issued guidance that if the pilot or copilot is in a distraught emotional state, takeoff should not happen. And it is the responsibility of the other to abort takeoff.

This is organizationally hard to do within an airline. But it is easy to do if regulators back it up, and the questionable state is backed up by dialog during the "sterile cockpit".
You got to do the sideways hustle into the job you want. Pick a company where you want to work in the tech area. Get a job anywhere you can in that company and then work your way towards the tech team there. You will need to get to know people there and what they need so you can prepare yourself to work there.

Another thing, go to job interviews. Even if your skills don't fit. You need to get used to the process. Getting a job in your chosen field is not always easy.
she has free speech, and they are free to fire her too.
Too many people worth following still are using Twitter. Until they leave and there isn’t a reason to go on the site then there won’t be any mass exodus. I doubt the forced login is having a huge impact so far. Maybe Meta’s alternative will have a bigger impact.

It’s interesting, I’ve seen ton of my people I follow complain about Twitter yet they still keep posting. The site is only going to go under if people start if actually leaving.
He basically admits as such, when he said challenging the nondisparaging clauses in the name of free speech was not worth risking the $40k paycheck.
Also - "dumb automated moderation that matches keywords and ignores context" and "non-existent appeal process".
That was my stance for the past decades. However the new Mac Minis are seriously challenging this assumption. They are small, silent and seriously beefy for the price. I didn't try gaming but running Blender on it impressed me.

From her perspective, it is still correct.
There have been a large number of accounts that have been censored by Twitter.

Musk even admitted doing so at the behest of foreign governments something Twitter 1.0 used to aggressively fight and prevent from happening.

You understand that your generated code is from September 2021 at best, right? Maybe it's okay for some niches, but I see lots of evolution in almost all segments of software engineering, especially frontend and ML.
> The captain's unclear headspace became evident by his protracted tirade. He was likely mentally unfit for the task of captaining that day, and the rant was evidence of it.

You jumped to the same conclusion the author did, which was that the rant was evidence of anything. Some people rant all of the time and sometimes it’s about sexist, racist, whatever things. It does not imply they are mentally unfit for captaining.

The NTSB would have called it out if that were the case. They did not. For an example of where they would, look at this flight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_212

They were not these person's "clients", they were the government clients of the company employing him/her. I would have expected the US employees to still have the freedom to say "fuck you!" to their government, even though said government might be on the list of one employer's clients.

More generally, one shouldn't have to give up his/her personal rights to say "fuck you!" to the government once he/she enters an employment contract.
So all scrapers are viruses? Need to me.
This is what people don't realize

Your "hot takes" for the most part (especially when they're basically cheap dunks) on SM help only twitter.

There's plenty of criticism that can be done about the parts mentioned, but those tweets are pretty much the definition of heckling. Honestly nobody cares, and nobody is there for that
And never forget the outrage created by https://dallas.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dream_Season

When you make the audience invested in the storyline only to completely yank it by saying "it never really happened," turns out they become aggitated.
