The wording is vague. It’s also possible read as 2.4% of total US emissions, not worldwide. Looking up other sources, it does seem to be 2-3% of total US emissions, not worldwide.
> it's the people with options to work somewhere better who are leaving

This happened at the last place I worked. It was so incredible to watch it happen. First the COO took off, and her favorite VP (who hired me) took off as well. Pretty much immediately my line manager, the 3 top-performing engineers in our division, and 4 of the 6 top-performing project managers on my team left as well. I left shortly after. I think the really crazy thing was watching how the remaining management literally lacked the competence to understand what was going on, or to even differentiate between people on our team and in our division in terms of who was good at their job and conscientious about client interactions vs. who was apathetic and under-skilled.

These tools are way too young for anyone to have actually spent a lot of time using them.

Bun is bundling everything and making it really fast, while also striving to maintain as much compatibility as possible with Node. It doesn't throw away the existing ecosystem.

Deno took on too much of an adversarial perspective towards the Node ecosystem and now they're working towards re-adding support.

So in terms of a successor, I'd say the only option is Bun because it's still trying to maintain compatibility with Node while innovating with new features.
Another year passes by, their revenue sources dry up (or dont meet expectations) and everybody is scrambling for a new stream. They look at their massive data trove, they double check with the lawyers and your nice little trust framework is up in flames. Thats how capitalism works.

This is all wrong. Conditioning on goldilocks and accepting least bad solutions is not how the digital society should be built. And make no mistake this is no "lifestyle" issue. Its pretty clear that 99% of life will be controlled by some digital artifact or another and there is no opt out.

Tech should be developed and provided on a data sovereign basis by law. People should be prohibited from collecting personal data and applying algorithms that affect people except under strict regulation.

Relying on "markets" and "capitalism" to shape such vital aspects of society is political malfunction for the history books.

This seems like short term reactive thinking but I'm sure every programmer worth their salt will research "<company x> layoffs/rescind/return to office" before accepting an offer. I recently went through the interview gauntlet and past layoffs and policy changes were a key deciding factor for me.

I could imagine that in a bull market candidates would ask for offer acceptance bonuses before quitting their current jobs as a form of assurance. And this issue is even more severe in countries where 2-3 month notice is the norm.
well, this quote from Linus Torvalds is in the article:

> "So I’d like to stress that while it really came together in just about ten days or so (at which point I did my first kernel commit using git), it wasn’t like it was some kind of mad dash of coding. The actual amount of that early code is actually fairly small, it all depended on getting the basic ideas right. And that I had been mulling over for a while before the whole project started. I’d seen the problems others had. I’d seen what I wanted to avoid doing."
Seems to me that most people with credit card debt are financially illiterate or just treading water financially. The article claims that as people were granted larger credit lines, that their proportion of credit used remained constant. These two claims don’t make a ton of sense to me.

I wonder if it’s not the reverse: creditors are incentivized to continue to lend you more credit to sustain a specific level of credit utilization. Perhaps incentives towards creditors and the defaults of their clients are calibrated with a certain moral hazard on their side…
> It’s clear as mud but I feel it’s likely that the process of training neural network weights is not going to be held as equivalent to verbatim digital copies.

It's amazing how similar the construction of the pipe segments and the pipe network is to ones I've seen from Roman times.

I think it's fine, assuming it's true, and doesn't hurt although the day may come when you realize you're at a disadvantage if everyone else is using LLMs.

Somewhat comparable is that in some contexts journalists and industry analysts, for example, make a point of disclosing any client relationships or investments with companies they're writing about. It's also common to disclose if you were given a product or trip you wrote about.

Cool idea, a few suggestions:

1. Clicking on the "Select" dropdown gives me the (I believe) complete list of options, which is not that big, so it's easy for me to pick from those options instead of guessing. Autocomplete is alright (similar to Framed or Guessthegame) but I shouldn't be able to see all from the start.

2. If the previous becomes too hard, you could add a few more tries with more pictures if I failed, ideally these would come in decreasing order of difficulty, but I understand that ought to involve more manual work so you could make do with just more random pictures from the same codebase which might help me.

3. Finally, a "share" button which copies my score to the clipboard so I can share it with my friends would be cool. A "daily" challenge would be great too so I can make sure we compete on the same codebase as my friends (otherwise I might get an easier challenge) though this will probably imply getting a new codebase for each day, and making the list of options much bigger.

Some interesting numbers from the article

> According to a report by Berkeley, Latino candidates constituted 13 percent of applicants and 59 percent of finalists. Asian and Asian American applicants constituted 26 percent of applicants and 19 percent of finalists. Fifty-four percent of applicants were white and 14 percent made it to the final stage. Black candidates made up 3 percent of applicants and 9 percent of finalists.
> There is stuff that belongs in releases but should not be present ever in develop branches at all, and vice-versa.

Divergence between development branches and release branches may be a sign of stuff that should be configuration-only/environment-configurable and outside of source control. "Build-once, run-everywhere" is a useful mantra: once a version has been cut, if it can be built once and only once and run in every development or release environment, you know that you are stably testing the same build artifacts in your QA environments that you will eventually release.

> Also, if you find a bug in a release candidate, you fix that bug alone. You do not add other changes just because someone committed them to the development branch.

If you are marking your released versions with git tags then you just build a short-lived branch from the release candidate tag, PR the fix to the short-lived branch (and any long term changes to the main/trunk branch), and cut the bug fix version from the short-lived branch (tag the new version). You don't need long-lived release branches to bug fix older versions and releases.
OKRs run into trouble as soon as they go from “this thing we’re already talking about looks like a good place to use OKRs—let’s come up with a couple to guide our effort” to “your business unit must produce and execute on X OKRs each quarter, and subordinate units must produce and execute on X OKRs supporting those parent OKRs, and you will all be judged based on the outcomes”.

The latter is what in-fact happens nearly everywhere, with predictable results that OKRs just end up as bureaucratic waste that distract from valuable work.

I wish there was better designed competitor. I don't like the all-in-one blob architecture as any upgrade is pretty much "your automation will not work during it", and there is no good way to run it in HA.

I'd like to see some that have separate "rule running engine hub" (that can be run in some kind of active/passive HA) + "UI/editor" (that if required can be run on separate machine so the "hub" could run on even weaker hardware if needed)

Lean is an interactive theorem prover. It can verify proofs written in Lean by humans. Mathlib is a monolithic library of classical mathematics written in Lean. Mathematicians contributing to Mathlib love it because it has all the interconnected subdisciplines they need in one place, and most of them aren't huge fans of constructive mathematics or univalent mathematics.

Lean is also a strict pure functional programming language with dependent types. You can write correct and maintainable programs in Lean. You can also write proofs showing that a program terminates or it computes the desired answer, etc. Some computer scientists and programmers praise Lean's extensible syntax and editor support.

I think most people operate under the presumption that both parties are acting in good faith. Obviously, there are instances where that isn't true. Choppy economic conditions lead to both sides of the table bending or even breaking norms.

I tend to put stock in giving two weeks of notice as I think it's polite. That being said, I've never had the rug pulled on me, either.
ClearCase?! An enormous pile of unnecessary complexity. Where I worked they hired a fulltime person just to manage it!

I remember fondly, there was no way to back out a commit. The hired consultant told me "Just check out the previous version and check it back in over the bad change!"

So now our test group would have two(!) changes to test, instead of zero. Brilliant.

I also remember ClearCase had five (5!) views of the same database. Commands worked on one of the five view, and god help you if you got confused.

preface: i don't have any receipts to physically prove this.

i worked at a large health co. that had a partnership with apple to publish an app (which apple wrote the code for, designed, etc.) under health co.'s name. the purpose of the partnership was to promote use of HealthKit on apple devices and increase sales/adoption.

much later, i took over technical ownership of the partnership and while i was getting up to speed, the value of the partnership didn't make much sense to me from apple's perspective -- it seemed to be incredibly beneficial to health co. and ostensibly not very much so for apple, health co. got a free, polished health app for its customers and apple got… not much of anything? a small boost in sales at most. yet, it was clear it was a priority for apple based on how they managed the partnership (very responsive, helpful, etc.).

suddenly, a few months after i got up to speed, apple informed health co. that they were terminating the relationship on a near future date (a couple months at most). this was surprising given the seeming importance of the partnership to apple in the past, and we weren't able to get convincing reasons as to why apple's attitude had changed.

but then, once it came time for apple to transfer ownership of the app to use, things got a bit odd.

* at first, they told us they'd be fine with handing over non-sensitive code and assets (e.g. removing apple internal libraries, etc.).

* then, they said instead of handing over code they'd do a technical overview of the architecture and the code but couldn't give us the physical code.

* then finally, they reversed course entirely and informed us it was impossible to de-instrument their sensitive "telemetry" from the code and couldn't share any information about the code with us at all (mind you, this was an app that was published by US that we were legally responsible for).

this led me to suppose that their code was doing something they didn't want us to see. given the purpose of the app, the most valuable, nefarious thing you could do was vacuum up massive amounts of user health data about all of health co.'s users -- not only that, but being able to do it at one step removed, not legally AS apple (not their app, after all).

this speculation was reinforced when i realized the date of termination of our partnership was one day prior to the change to the App Store's privacy disclosure guidelines -- they made one final update to the App Store (probably removing the telemetry, etc.) and didn't have to make a disclosure about data usage. any subsequent updates would have had to have made this disclosure.
Congrats on 1.0!

> And it's amazing that two of the biggest contributions to the world of software came from the same person.

That's not that amazing at all, because the fame and weight of being the creator of the former led to the adoption of the other as it became the official version control management system on which Linux was developed. — These are not two independent results.

If someone completely unknown developed Git 0.01 in 10 days, it would probably have stayed relatively obscure, and the reason for it's quality is because it became so famous due to being tied with Linux, attracting many developers.

Because layoff protections/benefits are often better than people quitting their jobs?

Every single one of these rescinded offers _is_ a layoff , just one that is extremely hostile to the worker.

Frankly, this should be illegal or at least cause for civil restitution. It shows immense hostility by management of flexport and every potential future hire should not give them the time of day indefinitely.

At the very least HN ought to stop running their hiring posts.

Apple's crime is not doing enough even though it's one of the biggest tech giants and not collecting data is against their interests. Cataloging and informing users of all the possible info going into the apps is a really good tool against data harvesting. In an "Apple vs Meta", apple is defo the winner.

Still apple is not your friend and is actively working against your interests in all kinds of ways.
Well said! Fortunately, you can still buy internet-connected devices with "Our app is no longer supported" fallbacks. I have a washer and dryer that can be controlled via app, but they also have physical dials and buttons. My Roomba isn't connected to the internet at all, let alone to an app; I just push the big button on top when I want my floor cleaned. My cats' litter box is connected to the internet to let me know when there's a problem, but I can also configure it by navigating the on-device menu. Et cetera.

I don't buy products that lock me into their app.

As of today, what are the primary use cases for bun vs Node?

what type of project can I use Bun on without regretting it (due to unforeseen bugs, incompatibilities, etc)?
Maybe this is lost to time now, but YC started in Boston. They used to do the summers in Boston, and winter batches in SF. But then PG didn't want some other copycat accelerator to call themselves "the YC of SF", so they just moved to SF. Perhaps around 2009/2010 or so.

Anyway, if you want to know what the Boston YC looked like, that's where PG is being interviewed. Since Reddit is there, it's the first batch, which should be 2005.

PG is making chili because it's the way he feeds a whole bunch of people at once. YC kept it up throughout the years, and chili is one of the things to remain from the early days, last I heard. Dunno if they're still doing that.

I'm seeing it too, not pinned/highlighted and different when logged in.
Yeah this is quite ridiculous. Even at very high salaries (no one makes these at Flexport, FYI) you're talking about a few million dollars to make this right (2 months severance).
It shouldn't be time-based it should be support-based. As in, the moment you stop supporting your product is the moment you're legally required to publish the source code and any signing keys, tools, etc necessary to use it.
from that blog post:

"Unlike Node.js and other runtimes that are built using Google's V8 engine, Bun is built using Apple's WebKit engine. WebKit is the engine that powers Safari and is used by billions of devices every day. It's fast, efficient, and has been battle-tested for decades."

That's really interesting, does WebKit do less JITing or something to be faster for startup?
