When hell freezes maybe?

Why would I do business with the local taxi mafia when these are the same cars, same drivers, poor or nonexistent app and terrible customer service?

Sorry, they screwed this too much.
It's not a term I've seen used recently, but a bricked thing that literally cannot be unbricked through a simple repair is toasted. At least according to mid-nineties computer repair jargon. I wonder if there are regional dialects...

Weird discussion since we're talking about a piece of hardware that is working fine and doing exactly what it was told to do. They just pointed it in the wrong direction and need to wait for it to recover, which it is set up to do.

We wouldn't say a server with the router IP address misconfigured was "bricked." (or maybe we would... I guess the jargon changes, but that would seem pretty crazy to me)
Nearly every single cookie pop up I have seen is provided by the exact same third party company. That cookie dialog has an option where you can have a simple "Reject all" button that you can click to reject all "not necessary" cookies and use the website.

It is the website owners fault when they choose not to turn that feature on.
Generate leads from job descriptions (Startup Idea)
Most companies put valuable information on JDs - information that's not even available on their websites/blogs. Ex. if they're hiring engineering roles they'll put tech stacks, and if they're hiring sales roles they'll put outbound/inbound strategies and etc.

I figured out a way to scrape 50k+ jobs from thousands of websites. We can extract valuable info using GPT.

Is this information something you're willing to pay for? Asking because I've been thinking of this startup idea for a while now.
Rust's borrow checker could probably be used for alias analysis, and avoid emitting redundant load instructions. That would give it a competitive advantage to C++. Does something like this exist yet?

Thanks for the feedback. Does your machine have a GPU? 32GB CPU RAM should be enough but GPU speeds up response time.

We have fixes for the seg fault[1] and improvement to the query speed[2] that should be released by end of day today[3].

Update khoj to version 0.10.1 with pip install --upgrade khoj-assistant later today to see if that improves your experience.

The number of documents/pages/entries doesn't scale memory utilization as quickly and doesn't affect the search, chat response time as much

[1]: The seg fault would occur when folks sent multiple chat queries at the same time. A lock and some UX improvements fixed that

[2]: The query time improvements are done by increasing batch size, to trade-off increased memory utilization for more speed

[3]: The relevant pull request for reference: https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/pull/393

For a long time I have been wishing that Git had a capability of "track this file locally, but don't transfer it when pushing or cloning". Such files would be listed using the same syntax as .gitignore, but in a different file, say .gitlocal or something.

Git kind of has some "local tracking" already: if I am not mistaken, lightweight tags behave like this. It would be cool if it could track files in the same way.

Under the hood it could be done via a separate database, stored not in .git but in .gitl directory or some such. The database in .git would behave as if both .gitignore and .gitlocal contribute to ignoring, and .gitl as if .gitlocal was .gitignore in reverse: it would ignore anything not covered in .gitlocal (and also ignore what's in .gitignore). Or something along these lines.
That is already the law - note the cookie consent law is not GDPR.

Every time this topic comes up on HN, I see many anecdotes on why WFO is bad.

My anecdote: I work from the office everyday (unforced). 20-30 minutes commute. I come in at 6am/7am and leave at 2pm/3pm. I do a 30 minutes calisthenics session and then head home and usually leave my laptop in the office (as a forcing function to disconnect).

The result: I have built strong bonds with colleagues outside my team. A few of them have become close friends.

I'm also generally as productive and sometimes even more than my colleagues that WFH.

I feel the ideal environment is *contextual* and it’s probably a hybrid work environment where people who want to work remote can but have to touch base in-person a few times every month. I wish both sides on the debate can see this.

Edit: The point of my comment is neither option is bad or good. Certain people benefit from each option and it’s unfair to paint either one as bad.

E.g: As an immigrant, the office has been useful in seeding my social circle and learning useful things about Berlin that I probably wouldn’t have know. Just the other day a colleague outside my team informed me how I can get an extra 10 days off .

Someone in a different situation probably have different priorities.
Do you also approve of surveillance states that a lot of EU countries are? Do you approve of push to end encrypted messaging? Do you approve of impossibility of getting an anonymous SIM card?
For me this was about how seeing the terrible UX due to ads, cookies, tracking but also bad UI in the case of reddit.

It's over 200 out of about 2000 at Harvard, plus another 200 for athletes... Though of course the bigger issue is that Harvard only has 2000 places for undergrad despite a $50bn endowment, in order to create some artificial scarcity.
> Or am I missing something important?

The fact that the internet != traffic going to your laptop/PC/phone.

There are a lot of non-consumer use-cases (think, processing of corporate data in the cloud, or deployment of industrial IoT devices) where you want very strong guarantees about the state of the entity you're talking to, stronger than a static x509 gives you.

> over using client certificates

The use-cases are also not restricted to client authentication (and "client" doesn't always mean outside of the cloud).
> It's also clear that some people feel real benefits from being in the office.

I'm so tired of this equivocation. These aren't two neatly swapable things like some sort of cute little "preference" that each company can decide for itself without receiving any judgement.

The costs behind in-office work are GARGANTUAN, both in terms of the literal cost of renting + heating + cooling a huge office space that is vacant every weekend and every night, and the environmental impact of this flagrant waste, combined with the costs of requiring everyone to commute (and typically do so without compensation), the brain drain of only allowing "local" applicants, etc, etc...

This isn't some cute little preference where you can be like oh well Johnny prefers in-office. Johnny better come up with some really huge world-changing justifications or better yet we can stop renting such spaces and save money and the environment across the board.
Also, I would be much more likely to hand over money for a trial then commit to something monthly up front. Even like $250 trial. or at least No Contracts. in the pricing bullets.

I have to feel like there's very little risk and this is a no brainer and I don't get that vibe from your site.
I’ve been here for 7 years and live in Seattle core, would absolutely agree with them: given how our summers have been going, this is a quite nice summer.

> jj merge exists but it's not obvious which revisions you are supposed to pass to it

I don't think I understand your confusion. `jj merge` is essentially like Git merge, except that you also normally pass the current commit as one of the revisions. For example, you could write `jj merge @ main` to make a merge commit with the working copy[1] and the `main` branch. Feel free to open a GitHub discussion or drop by the Discord channel to discuss more.

> jj log doesn't even seem to be able to update the HEAD for the parent branch

`git log`/`jj log` are non-mutating operations, so why would you expect that they can update `HEAD`/branches?

[1]: In my workflows, I typically use `@-` instead of `@` in this situation because I consider the working copy commit to contain "uncommitted" changes, but there is a significant complement of users who primarily use `@`, so it depends on your workflow.

=======

Are you looking for a Software Developer or an Engineering Manager / CTO?

If your company wants to improve an existing product, its software development process or develop a new product, I can take on a new project starting in mid-August.

I am an Engineering Manager with a focus on Solutions Architecture, System Design and System Analysis. I have experience building teams, establishing processes, working closely with product managers and managing technology projects from concept to completion (taking the role of Product Owner). I have hands-on experience in all the aspects of the Software Development lifecycle, including performing functions of DevOps and SRE (setting up and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, observability tools, CI/CD pipelines). A bit of experience with Machine Learning Computer Vision and early stage Product Management.

My primary focus is web back-end (PHP, Laravel), but I have also worked with mobile apps and front-end (React, Vue.js).

Our potential collaboration could take one of three forms:

1. If your company needs technological solutions but lacks a tech team, I provide a complete package: from initial analysis and doing software development myself to ongoing maintenance and managing the cloud infrastructure.

2. In cases where your tech team requires interim leadership or specific expertise, I step in as interim CTO, also filling in any existing knowledge or skill gaps. I can audit your team(s) and software development process to improve speed of your team and/or the quality of the product.

> a significant amount of the "reward" of the job is prestige, in the form of authority and control over other workers

This is definitely a real phenomenon. "Subordination", the product of having subordinates, is a sort of hidden compensation to some people.

> And then finally my own view on it is exposed in the disgusting euphemism "labor discipline." White collar pay went up during the pandemic. WFH is incredibly better for the quality of life of many workers, with few or no downsides. We are realizing we don't have to live and work the way we have been, things can be better for us at no one's expense. We are getting uppity and need to be reminded who is really in control of our lives.

Amen. There's a certain type of boss who thinks that employee happiness is a sign they're not being whipped enough, and that whipping them will increase productivity; these people also treat it as an axiom, and are immune to evidence about productivity.
Yes, includes PR.

What is the manager class? The people who sacrificed their $/hr in favor of power?

If I want to be a manager, I can hire people with my fat income and manage them on my spare time or when I take a few years off work. Then I can come back as a manager with all my new experience.
All they have to do is stop tracking us and only use login cookies if i log in. Simple enough.

Any other cookies are not "table stakes".

I'm an engineer with 3.5 years of experience in DevOps and infra. I am passionate about making software run fast and streamlining development processes.

I have just finished my CS master's thesis in Performance Engineering on the interface between virtual machines and NVMes, focusing on userspace drivers (SPDK<->vfio). I've gained familiarity with the Linux NVMe driver, io_uring, and latency measurement for complex software systems (à la Richard Sites' Software Dynamics).

I'm looking for a generalist role with heavy emphasis on performance engineering, system optimization, or legacy refactoring; but open to pure DevOps and infra positions with perceivable effects on the company's main business operation. Most comfortable in companies with 30+ employees.

Well, at least consent dialog blockers can get rid of some of it.
Or you can use powershell .

Joking aside, as a relatively newbie to the star nix world and liking it - shell scripting in Linux/Unix is broken.

The object handling approach that powershell provides just seem to be a better approach.

This is nonsense. You can't just put any kind of cookie banner up and magically be in compliance. You'd still have to explain what kind of data is being shared with with parties and why. And you have to update your privacy policy to keep it accurate in any case!

In fact, many of the websites that have these obnoxious cookie banners are NOT in compliance because don't offer a simple and unambiguous opt-out option.

These cookie banners and cookie popups are intentionally made to be maximally annoying. That's not good faith behavior by companies. That's malicious and an attempt to get consumers to blame regulators for breaking their browsing experience. The worst thing is that some people totally fall for it!
The problem is your post is titled to be a hit piece against the EU

GDPR regs in fact already require exactly this, and all "consent" acquired without one has no legal basis. One or two national regulators have belatedly started to pursue it.
> Not until I run some jj command? It's kind of begging for a 'jjd' isn't it? Or if you use an IDE you'd want/need it to be not just saving but doing some kind of 'jj nop'.

In practice, I find that it doesn't matter much. Some people do run `jj` in a loop incidentally (usually they have a live graph-log open on some screen). I suppose that you could get a "local history" feature like in some editors of more fine-grained changes to the codebase in this way. Folks have discussed adding a jj daemon, but so far it's not a priority.

> I haven't looked more into it than the readme, but that at least doesn't discuss (and I think it's important) withholding commits from the remote(s)? If everything's always(ish) committed, I've lost some control of untracked files or unstaged or locally stashed changes that I now need at the point of pushing; to mark those commits 'private' or something. I assume it does exist, and I'll look for it when I make time to play with it, but I find it slightly concerning (for how good it will be, or how important it's considered to be) that it's not more prominently discussed.

Usually it's pretty obvious to me which of my commits are public or private. When interfacing with GitHub, commits that are not reachable by a branch are definitely private . Additionally, commits without a description are private, and `jj git push` will warn you before allowing you to push them.

There has been some discussion about adopting Mercurial-style "phases" (https://wiki.mercurial-scm.org/Phases), which would explicitly accomplish the goal of marking commits public or private.
Some random adjacent thoughts:

* both arithmetic bounds and bitwise bounds are useful for things the other can't do

* you have to trade off "how much useful information am I keeping for optimizations" with "how much memory am I willing to spend on that information"

* if you had infinite memory you could just track the value sets directly.

* if the value set is union-like, even if it just contains a single special value (often -1, but also MAX_INT and others), that often completely ruins the ability to track meaningful arithmetic or bitwise bounds.

* if an enum is involved, often that's a place that already stores the full value set (but beware the numerous variations of what an "enum" is)
