Sure, pay me $10m upfront and I'm all yours for the 40 years I expect to work. I invest some of that and it turns into $20-$30m or more. Huge win tonget upfront payment if you're fine speculating a bit with the money.

I think converting a one payment package to a reoccurring payment is a scam.
This is such a disingenuous take. Twitter isn’t just a web page that displays the last thing saved to a database. It curates a different version of that for the millions of users reading it. That’s before you think about Spaces, the whole advertising platform that supports it, the abuse systems, and the infrastructure required to do all of that at a scale far beyond some bootcamp clone.

HN discourse should be above this.
Should is a bit strong. You lose a lot of context and relational influence when you switch companies. This is bad for both you and the teams you leave/join. If you care about the work/product, it’s definitely not a “should”.

Apple Photos does non-destructive editing only, and the nice thing about that is that your captures are always sacrosanct.

i tried chatgpt to produce some ansible playbooks for postgresql_privs module - that module uses or used to use rather convoluted logic and i could never exactly wrap my head around that one ( and i had a rather non-trivial use case for it, so maybe that contributed to my struggles).

the produced playbooks passed the syntax check, that much i can admit. it went downhill from there, producing files with completely invalid keywords.
I've tried applying for H1B jobs, but no luck so far. It feels like just applying for jobs that say they provide H1B sponsorship isn't the way to do this, but I don't know what else to do.

Also, job search for H1B jobs is a nightmare. Searching for them inevitably returns a ton of results that say they don't provide sponsorship. There's usually no field in the job site to select a distinct option for this either.
Huh? The US sets the sanctions.

We’ve changed our laws to legalize corruption and subsidize export of key industries. Steel is hardly made in Cleveland and Pittsburgh anymore for a simple reason: our tax and regulatory structure was reformed, and makes it more profitable to ship that business to China or Mexico.

I hope artificial wombs advance and it becomes possible to transplant even a zygote which can then develop into a healthy baby. It'd largely resolve the abortion debate and solve problems like where a father wants the child but the mother doesn't.
The reverse seems much much more likely. The abusive political system pushes drug legalization as an opiate of the masses so they are more content to deal with the abusive political system. A weekend of legal drug use to make the pain go away and disrupt solidarity.
I tripled my salary in two years by starting off woefully underpaid, getting a mediocre first offer at the next place, then completely ignoring any guidance about comp the next time around because I knew no one would bat an eye at the figure. Didn’t even have to negotiate it, just let my manager do it for me.

In hindsight this should be a “how I quadrupled my salary” story. But I’m sharing it in case anyone who feels anxious about negotiating is selling themselves way too short. Go get more money. Relax about it unless you don’t want to. You’re gonna get more money regardless.
I have an account on a pleroma instance. Cool.

I am able to

Follow anyone

Comment on any peertube video

I can reply to anyone on Lemmy or kbin

You will only need an account if you want to post original content on a particular instance, like if you want to upload a video on peertube or pixelfed or Lemmy. For the most part, users are consumers so they WILL only need just a single account
You can’t have that because those places do not exist at scale. Smaller companies do not have the resources for growth and large companies simply do not care about you. You’ll cap out at the small shop, and you’ll become a predictable line item in a spreadsheet at the big shop.

It’s fine to stay where you are. Stick around, know the place inside out, embrace the culture, be the culture!

But, if the goal is to maximize take home pay, the answer is to regularly find a new workplace. That’s the only way to maintain an annualized compensation growth rate that exceeds inflation.
I'm confused, how is this not explaining math? That all sounds like math.

Not to mention this is basically an eli5 for what is a block ciphers (or aes specificly). If you are actually studying block ciphers you'll need to learn much more than that. Additionally, Block ciphers are just one part of cryptography - i think this thread was more about ECC.
I like the article and I believe much of it, but I’ve been chasing personal passions for more than 25 years and I haven’t had a side project I’d call successful, at least not in a financial sense.

I think you might be missing that federated systems are not supposed to be fully decentralized. Federated is a pit stop along the spectrum between centralized and fully decentralized that makes trade-offs in order to reap some benefit of decentralization (no single owner of the entire network, allows some measure of user choice), while not having to deal with the problems of a fully decentralized model (no central authority brings moderation challenges, how to handle spam when each account is fully independent and not tied to a blockable instance that likely has no account verification enabled, there's nobody to appeal to if you lost account access / password reset challenges, among other things)

Being federated doesn't solve the problem of decentralization because it's specifically a middle-ground. It's supposed to be a compromise with some benefits of both centralization and decentralization - and I think a lot of people are happy with that compromise.
Thanks for sharing. I think Bluesky is pretty interesting (got my invite from Twitter :) )
Yea, I agree. Lemmy isn't getting the casual user because the casual user isn't leaving reddit. So why bother?

This isn't to be gatekeeping, but I think trying to hope for some magical, identical reddit but without reddit's BS is both a fever dream and shortsighted. Do you believe Reddit2 to not fall into the same trap as reddit?

We'd need something different to prevent that, and different is going to be less intuitive than the familiar. It's fine if you don't want to be in that firsr wave of figuring out how to make different work, others will figure It out and communicate their findings.
Also “lesser known” means “not in C FAQ” to me. Half or more of TFA is a pretty regular C FAQ material that everyone C already has read. I mean, sure, right?

Yes but for those motivated to hear the low-frequency waves, adding a frequency shift to the end of the signal processing pipeline would've been trivial.

Since the incremental effort is so low, it really doesn't matter much what the original frequency range of a signal is.
That's the first thing that came to mind. It's a pay-to-play move, which is not at all surprising. People seem to forget that fully-featured social media-centric corporations are run for profit, and if they can't get enough advertising to balance the books, then what's left but subscriptions?

Sometimes people buy media corporations because they're interesting in using them to promote their other more lucrative operations (think Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post) so they don't really care about profitability, but I don't think Twitter fits that model, but who knows?
I can't find any human studies, so I think it's too early to put thousands of doctors out of work (and they would be needed in other areas anyways).

I attended lectures of his at IU. My impression is that he has some sort of chip on his shoulder. He's been committed to the ideological position that AI is Hard and Won't Happen for decades, and having models be so competent at translation and other tasks (he used to argue that google translate was essentially impossible) has probably thrown him off balance.
I have the impression that the comment you are replying to was sarcastic. Of course you're right that experience can't be replaced with documentation. The role of documentation IMHO is making it easier for people to gain experience by smoothing out the process -> it aids the process of gaining experience, does not replace it
You can relish in the idea of Twitter having technical issues as if it hurts Elon in some tangible way, but the fact is he could pull the plug on it tomorrow… simply shut Twitter down entirely. Take the entire value of the company as a personal loss, and give everyone working there $1m for their service.

And still be the wealthiest individual on the planet.

He could do it another 5 times and still be a billionaire.

Yes, I’m aware his net worth doesn’t mean liquid assets but the point remains.

>It has to do with the fact that Europe as a whole is not part of the classical definition of the West

Everything depends on context. How far back is "classical"? If you're saying that the Byzantine empire or the Ottoman empire or the Ummayad Caliphate were considered not of the "West", I'm not going to argue with you but they're long gone, and I thought that the Byzantine empire considered themselves to be the continuation of the Roman empire even if Western Europe didn't.

I don't know much about the Austro-Hungarian empire, I think of it as "Western", though.

>The “non-aligned countries” aren't nob-Western in particular, or vice versa. Many of them were non-Western, some were Western

From what I've read, the original meaning of "third world" before it became pejorative was non-aligned countries in the Cold War.

I'm unaware of, say, Finland or Switzerland - nonaligned Western countries more or less, yes? - ever being considered "third world".

back when I was doing personal projects or working at small early-stage startups I used to think the same, but then I've worked at later stage scaleups and even large publicly traded companies and realised that once a project becomes large enough, that prototyping phase that you just described is like 1% or 2% of the total workload. There is so much more to the SDLC that is not just writing code (some examples: liaising with stakeholders, requirements gathering, clients acceptance testing, QA, integration testing, certifications, regulatory frameworks etc. etc. etc. -> all things that take much of your time and involve nearly 0 lines of code written).

It's an interesting theory but the DDoS predates the decision to disable anonymous access. In fact, that decision was taken in order to mitigate an ongoing DDoS[0][1]. So while it's possible that the questionnable web front end retry logic is not helping things, it's not the root cause.

> Because bigotry is incompatible with democracy, and you can’t have freedom without democracy

Neither of those claims seem obviously true to me. While I may dislike bigotry, I don’t know why you couldn’t have bigoted democracy. Similarly, while I may enjoy both freedom and democracy, I don’t see any reason democracy is required for freedom.
Correct. But that doesn't support any of the claims I mentioned from bugglebeetle's comment.
How am I supposed to select a decent widget from the market? Buy them all? Think really hard about it? I do not understand your position at all.
What about this scenario:

* No US country so 300k+ TC is as rare as hens teeth

* Paid probably top 5% ile local comp I guess

* Equates to about $130kUS TC

* Don’t want to relocate

* A tiny chance of getting one of those coveted “remote” jobs (instead of remote-but jobs where the “but” is being in the US with rights to work there)

How can I go about getting an extra 25% or more from current employer? Remember I wont get a local offer higher than what I am on now unless I time travel and make
myself a HFT C++ person, or a senior manager of 1000+ indirect reports.

Why this is a problem?

China’s foreign reserves is a result of the artificial peg introduced decades ago and loosened recently. It kept Chinese labor devalued. And to counter local inflation because of issuing too many Yuan, they kept interest rates high. So they accumulated surplus from years of high export to import ratio. This was a problem because they had a significant amount of our money. But they were also buying our debt. And so economists argued this was ok.

The doomsday scenario is this accumulation of reserve puts them in power to flood the market and cause significant devaluation. Or it causes them to make excessive loans and cause devaluation. Or it has leverage to threaten to do this and influence policy. Either way, this is a growing concern. It’s fine if a country knows and understands that concern. But it’s worse if that concern is underestimated.

And that is the problem here: excessive reserves is a concern, and even bigger concern if you are unsure of what the excess reserves are.

with int day (d), month (m), year (y) inputs and single int day of week output has a slight twist that causes a few head scratches for some.

The better solution is the one with fewer bugs, fewer dependencies and less resource use.

If the solutions are both correct and use the same approach, but one has managed to make it understandable, then that is better. Understandable beats obfuscated, all else being equal.

The solution that the programmers don't understand reveals a weakness in their analytic skills, though. The author could well be smarter or know more techniques, or both.
Teacher provides feedback, and most online resources are not. Feedback and corrections are extremely important in physical practices like dance, martial arts, car driving etc. One can avoid personal trainer/teacher in mental practices but it's almost required for physical.
Hmm, that almost seems like fair-game.
Even worse they can’t disagree as easily with bad ideas from leadership. A healthy tech organization needs to make decisions based on negotiations between what is wished to be and what is; making a significant portion of the people who know the ground truth of things be reluctant to speak up when that ground truth is inconvenient can make for some pretty bad decisions.
Does this still apply in the new AI + tech recession world though?

To be fair, the US doesn't trade with sanctioned states because they (and the UK) are among the first to sanction other states. The EU just follows. Did China sanction any other states? Maybe Lithuania for opening a Taiwan representation office. But it's not sanctions, it's more like bullying.

>Wouldn't you (and 99% of people) also spend money to amplify your opinions far and wide if you had such money?

No, I'd have much loftier goals to amplify my opinons than microblogs if I had $80b in my pocket. I could fund my own movies, games, TV series, etc. I could lobby congress to change laws on a worldwide scale. I could fund my own educational systems and shape minds the way I want to.

Using it to own a blogging platform for power's sake is absurd and also small-minded. I argue Trump did a good portion of damage to the modern discourse and he just had to be a user.

>the entire reason most people use social media is because they want to amplify their opinions far and wide.

I don't use Twitter, but my goals online are to communicate with like minded people. Not literally everyone. I don't need nor desire a soapbox, because it implies my ideals and methodologies are novel and capable of change. Not really.
