>Is there anyone who actually consents for any other reason than the consent button being either to click than more options?

If the "reject all" button isn't as easy to click as the "accept all" button, then the popup is illegal. The big players have all been forced into compliance, but there's a long tail of publishers who are chancing their arm on the assumption that the regulators don't have the resources to deal with everyone. That's probably a reasonable assumption in the short term, but the EU are playing the long game.

This sounds so nice, I dropped an application off. How can I find more volunteer CS opportunities like this?
I have a TS80P and love it. It's far more powerful than the wattage would otherwise indicate. It heats up - to a precise temperature - in seconds. It is indeed superior to most soldering stations I've seen or used.

However, if I were to buy again, I'd probably go with TS100 (cheaper, seems to have a larger user base, cheaper tips and XT60 connectors are pretty flexible for DIY and simpler than USB-C) or Pinecil (cheaper in general and users are rabid fans).

EDIT: from the IronOS page, it seems that the TS100 is no longer recommended...

"Please note that Miniware started shipping TS100's using cloned STM32 Chips. While these do work with IronOS, their DFU bootloader works terribly, and it is hard to get it to successfully flash larger firmware images like IronOS without timing out. This is the main reason why the TS100 is no longer recommended."
Yes, I had an additional fuse in series, what I was referring to is that the BMS's own internal resistance is larger than that of the battery pack. Indeed in an overcurrent situation you can't rely on the MOSFET not to fail short.
Eh, just boot time is better one, doesn't change so it doesn't eat that many bytes in whatever TSDB you use
Is AI’s hallucination problem fixable?
Nothing is written in stone or in stars. Nd there used not to be legislation. And now there's legislation that fights towards user consent, so I don't see how anything has sailed anywhere. It's just a bunch of company code that needs to change, with a quick solution of a multiple-deletion commit as an option in most instances.
Too much string copying iirc. It was written a while ago.

Hopefully it'll get updated/replaced some time, but there's plenty of faster 3rd party ones already.

Hi,

My organization killed the product I was working on and so I find myself in the ranks of the newly laid off.

I am putting my name out here before it gets too busy. I have 20+ years experience in the Microsoft stack writing transaction processing applications such as kiosk point-of-sale systems, brokerage order management systems, investment bank portfolio accounting systems. With those, there was also the implementation of ETL and monitoring systems.

Lately, I’ve been working on upgrading my skills with react/next.js on vercel and tying in LLMs to boost productivity - but that’s still work in progress.

Will definitely consider contract positions.

Thanks!

Hello!

My name is Brandon, I'm a backend + platform developer with a little over 5 years of experience.

Most of that experience has been in "big data" SaaS platforms (most recently Datadog), but I'm happy to ditch the fancy stuff and just bring whatever pieces are most needed for a small or growing business -- while also being familiar with that fancy stuff, so we can know when we might need it. I've ranged all over the stack at each place I've worked so far -- data processing pipelines, workflow management, CI/CD, API frameworks, RPC, databases both transactional and analytical, AWS/GCP/Azure, and tons of observability of course. I'm versatile, learn new things fast, and I love to pitch in wherever help is needed (especially when things are on fire)!

Most importantly -- I care deeply not only about the quality of the work I do but also about my coworkers, and I strive to be awesome to work with and create a really open and psychologically safe environment. A work culture everyone can feel good about is my number-one priority.

Anyways -- my ideal company would look something like this:

* Most folks work in person most days, or hybrid

* Little or no VC investment (bootstrapped is awesome)

* Small, maybe in the range of 5 to 25 developers total

* Many small paying customers instead of a couple big ones

Though I understand that makes things pretty specific, so if you're only matching 2 or 3 of those then definitely still reach out.

If you want to get to know me a little better before reaching out, feel free to check out my blog, I tend to post roughly 50/50 about technical stuff and work-culture stuff:

Looking forward to hearing from y'all, thanks for reading :)
Fountainhead triggered a kind of moral indignation in me. I read it as arguing that the path to happiness and success was to ignore social mores, hold your vision firm, and take what you want. I think I described it as glamorizing sociopathy.

Also, I want to reject the imputation of faddish dislike for her. I read this 40+ years ago - I'm not some johnny-come-hately.

The cost of maintaining transportation and the unpaid hours from a commute are quite significant. Depending upon their circumstances they could be taking home more money even being paid less.
It's not like this is limited to "bad players." It's standard procedure for almost every website. Whether that's good or bad is a separate topic - the point it's not just nefarious people using cookies to watch user behavior. Normal people use this information to make their websites better and create more effective products for people. Which is exactly what people said when this legislation was introduced. So instead of actually fixing anything, they made it worse. Now we're being tracked _and_ we have annoying nags that block content show up on every website, exactly like people said would happen when this legislation was introduced.

It's the same tired nonsense as when regulators try to tax a business that's already operating on thin margins and act surprised when the business passes the cost to their customers instead of eating it.

I'm not upset with the intent of what they were trying to do, which was noble; the upsetting thing is that it was patently obvious their hamfisted implementation would lead to this outcome, and they did it anyway, knowing they could count on people to deflect blame away from them.
Those have nothing to do with WFH, they're regular office behavior and one well known reason for why many people hate going to the office.

Yeah, that would do the trick. But then again, in companies with thousands of employees this kinda things tends to get lost in translation between the multiple management layers, or when some over eager product manager decides to make their life goal adding some weird customization to SharePoint at any cost possible :/
I almost always do "git add -p", "git commit".

"add -p" is great for showing you all the chunks of code you've written one-by-one and then you do "y" or "n" for whether you're adding them. Doing it like this means that you are reviewing what you've changed as a final check that you haven't left a debug line in, or forgotten part of what you meant to do. It's also a natural way of splitting up what you've done into two separate commits.
When I talk about these paths, I mostly mean prepas and grande écoles, but that doesn't mean I recommend them.

Yeah you're set for life if you succeed there, but the student suicide rate in those schools is also astonishingly high because of the pressure/competition.

If I were you, I'd just teach my kids to code, learn, build stuff, sell stuff, and use AI correctly. IMO school is an outdated concept, in any country.
Git should really steal the only thing I like about perforce, many uncommited change lists. It should be an easy workflow change to add 'named stages' along side the default stage. That way you can just leave changes in a different stage, tracked but uncommitted.
I'm not part of the TipTap team but I think I can help answer this.

Think of it like this... you're basically only coupling yourself to ProseMirror. That's the schema you're storing in your database. TipTap is a set of libraries that you can use for your web app etc... but if you ever find it insufficient, you're free to role your own thing.

ProseMirror has been around for a long time and is unlikely to be going anywhere, but having a company with VC funding using it as its base helps ensure that if ProseMirror got abandoned, it'd likely get picked back up by TipTap or some other interested party.

Even if you're building your own editor, unless your editor has a need that ProseMirror's schema doesn't account for or solve it makes sense to use it.
Every soldering iron I am aware of with integrated cartridge-tips or Curie point tech will yield a better joint quicker than anything analog - they heat up instantly, etc.

Every one of these soldering irons has an MCU running the control loop.
Geez, this was just basic street smarts when I was growing up. Ask some questions upfront.

Have cash on hand when dealing with taxis. Don't assume card terminals will work, or even that they won't skim your card.

You may say, 'That's why I hate taxis cos they scam you,' yet this thread has contains many examples of Uber(Eats)* scamming people too.

Why is that better? Cos it's accessed via smartphone for some reason?

Conjecture/Rant: There is a growing cohort of people who want everything to become 'frictionless'. They are even afraid to just talk to people, talk to girls, everything has to be through text or through an app. If they get their way humans will start to interact with each other more like machines than like people, hey, maybe even through APIs! Meanwhile, what makes life interesting 'is' friction between people and cultures.
Your preferences would do a very quick 180 if you had a commute over a certain length in order to get to the office.

Understand that your current preference is a result of being in an advantageous living accommodation next to the office building your company is leasing.
Reddit was hiring for Nim positions. So demand is growing. New languages have easier time being adopted at startups which grow into big players eventually.
I'm just telling you based on my experience. All of the Gen Z folks I know are avoiding having children because they know it would financially ruin them.
I think about these companies destroying their goodwill in pursuit of a profit and am reminded:

employees -> 0, profit -> ∞

The remaining employees are the ones that will do anything in this existential crisis.

Will we ever be able to get a hotel, airfare, food delivery, a tow truck, an emergency plumber or anything urgent or convenient without profit being maximized?

Many grids are interconnected already and the electricity distribution is already an international business, if the lk-99 becomes available as a final product I don't see why would be hard to built a SC backbone. Not only electricity but international pipelines that move fossil fuels to thousand of kilometres away are already a common thing.
"correlates input/output packets"

Timing and size will get you very far, especially as smaller packets are used for TCP set up. This is a worry with good faith TOR servers and malicious upstreams, even with multiple hops. It's certainly doable for a single machine where you're directly watching its network card.
The energy stored in a SMES ring of given conductor diameter scales as O(rlogr).

However, if you used superconductors to provide centripetal acceleration to a rotating ring, then for fixed centripetal acceleration the stored energy would scale as O(r^2).

Large scale energy storage would favor the latter over the former.
> which implies that some companies underpay workers despite making massive profits.

Again, had you taken the time to read the full context, you would know the statement was made with respect to not being able to find workers to hire. How can you underpay, let alone pay at all, workers which do not exist? You can't. This has nothing to do with the original topic.

> The point is that if a company is making substantial profits but not adequately compensating its workers

If the workers are not adequately compensated then there must be debt. You fundamentally cannot withhold something in an exchange without accumulating debt. Perhaps you mean the workers have voluntarily forgiven any debt that was outstanding? Indeed, that is an option available to them, but not something workers usually take kindly.

> it's about ensuring that workers are paid fairly for their contributions and that companies prioritize fair wages alongside their profits.

What is fair is established when to exchanging parties reach an agreement on what they both consider to be an equal exchange of value. Until such an agreement can be made, a transaction does not begin. If, later, one party does not fulfill their end of the agreement then that would be unfair, but debt is also created. When there is unfairness, there is debt. They are intrinsically linked. Debt is literally a measure of how far one party has been unfair to another.

> Good faith participation involves discussing issues with the goal of seeking positive change and improvement.

You can't meaningfully seek positive change and improvement without understanding the current state of the world. Once you do understand it, that change is a natural consequence. It doesn't require drawn out discussion.

Jumping straight to pushing your agenda of what you think is the positive change and improvement is bad faith participation as it robs other parties from the understanding of why it is the change they too want to see, and is typically done so because the message wouldn't be compelling if the other parties had that underlying understanding. Even where intentions are pure, it is a self-centred position, and self-centredness is not faithful to the other participants.

I think for most people, they won't have even thought about trying a competitor - whether that's Google or Uber. They won't even know whether Uber has declined relative to their competition.

Personally, I don't even know how to get a taxi in most places anymore. At the airport, sure. I live in one of the densest places in the US that isn't NYC, but there aren't taxis going around through most areas. I'd basically be walking to the kind of place that already has public transit to find a taxi (and even then they aren't that common).

There's Lyft, but is that actually any better? I typically find their prices to be higher, but maybe that's changed. A lack of information on actual quality can be a big thing.

I'm not arguing Uber hasn't declined to the point where they're below the quality of competitors. I guess I'm more questioning: how would you communicate to me a competitor that is better? I think that's what is missing in a lot of ways: how do you prove to yourself and others that a competitor is better? Maybe you'll say "Lyft is often $1-3 more expensive, but the drivers don't cancel quite as much and support is better." That's hard to really get a feel for - just as it's hard to really quantify the quality of search results.

Maybe you live in NYC and taxis are plentiful and there are even NYC-specific app-based services. Maybe you live in a part of Europe where there are apps that work with the taxi system. Maybe you're in another part of the world where there's lots of ride-app competition that doesn't exist in the US.

But I'd love to be sold on a competitor. If we were friends having lunch, what would you say? "Oh, you've got to try XYZ because... They're better than Uber because..." But I think most people aren't having that conversation. We had those conversations talking about how Uber was better than taxis. You can see when they're coming, it just charges your credit card, support is great about bad rides, you don't have to call a service, it's all GPS based, you know when you'll get to your destination... That's how we sold our friends on Uber. How do we now argue that something else is better quality? Maybe the issue is that Uber is hitting 90% of the quality of competitors which makes it hard to discern if they're actually worse.
They'll take a loss on their equity invested because the cost of continuing to feed the mortgage payments until they could lease the space is greater. Likely that they'd never generate enough rent even if full to meet debt obligations, so in that case you just basically hand the keys back and let the bank figure out what to do with it.

Having toured this building in '21, it's going to take a long time before the occupancy is high enough to cover any debt service.

Outskirts of core office location in Portland, terrible access, delivered the building right before COVID. Just a bad outcome and really unfortunate timing.
