That’s not really in conflict with anything I wrote? Firms are colluding on layoffs to force these kinds of conditions and drive down wages.

>Therefore the lack of cases really is evidence that the law really doesn't cover caste. (I'm quite confident that federal law doesn't cover it.)

Or the lack of cases is because it's very rare or even non-existent in a workplace environment, based on many comments here, including my own, and it happens more in the personal sphere like how there's strong race based preferences in dating and friendship in the US. That's not prosecutable.
Having looked into this myself prior was mostly asking for disappointment. Getting a random Chinese IP camera to convert to open firmware is great in theory, but the problem is actually buying a camera or 10, or buying more over time.

You never really know what hardware ships internally at any given time, ie what SoC a camera really is. They change frequently in random Chinese manufacturers with internal SoC hardware update with constant improvement (in their margins at least), if reported by someone at a point in time, buying the same model a 6mo-1yr later you cannot expect the same model number to be the same hardware.

It is rarely stated on a site selling them what SoC they use, or the vendors sites, assuming you can find and/or translate anything usable, or if the vendor is even still around more than a few months under that name. Therefore there is no repeatable source of products you can get reliably across time without simply testing a sample and hacking your own as you go.

I really wish someone would take initiative to sell/resell a line of camera hardware with openipc or other open firmware on them. It's a business opportunity sorely missing with nothing to offer home/business users ip cameras with open sterile and guaranteed secure firmware vs. random pure Chinese jank.
> I don't live in the US, but if I did I would grind all the leetcode (as insulting as I find them) for one single reason: I don't want to work forever.

I find it funny that the internet exaggerations have convinced non-US people that:

1. Doing a couple LeetCode problems is the only thing interviewers look for

2. Everyone here automatically gets a high paying FAANG-like job if they can memorize enough LeetCode problems

3. All of these jobs just write useless software all day and never really do anything productive

and

4. LeetCode problems are impossibly difficult and it’s a tragedy that anyone would be asked to code during a coding interview.

I struggle to read these threads any more because everything seems so stretched out of proportion from the real world. If your view of what US development or interviewing culture is like comes from HN threads, you’d probably be pleasantly surprised by what it’s actually like here most of the time. The weird catastrophizing that happens on HN and Reddit is hyperbole.
It looks gpt-generated.

If you have good arguments to attack specific statements, methods, no need to attack people. Otherwise, it reminds me how tabacco / oil industry tries to discredit science (often successfully) by attacking individual scientists.

I see the effort to discredit EA lately (and given that I read about EA almost exclusively on HN, It says something). I wonder why.

The 150km/h they target is nothing compared to the speed records in motorboats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nloF0eF-zFs

Here's some difference to the motorboats,those pointy tubes sitting on the water surface with a big (jet) engine in your back pushing you. The Vestas has its sail off to the side and even a foil still in the water which will give it stability. The sailboats with the kites are being pulled and I imagine in a situation where you cut the rope, the impact into the water is quite predictable and in a straight line, very different from the wild accidents of high speed motorboats.
For Europe generally - and the UK in particular, where the seas around it act as a natural temperature buffer - yes, it's would likely get quite a lot colder. Take a look at how the temperature average and variations in NYC at ~41 degrees north compare to London which is more like 51 degrees but bathed in the gulf stream (caveats involved, both coastal northern hemisphere east coast cities but a lot more land to the west of NY than for London).

Hate to be that guy but tweaking and iterating power delivery systems with no standards sounds like a way to get houses burned down.
High costs is a double whammy for transit systems. High costs mean you need to spend more to build transit. At the same time, it means you can build much less transit. That, in turn, reduces how useful transit is to the public, and ultimately, public support for building transit.
Can you please make your substantive points without calling names or posting in the flamewar style? Besides not breaking the site guidelines, it will make your arguments more persuasive.

When someone else is wrong and/or you know more than they do, or feel this is the case, it's enough to post correct information and explain it to readers. Then we all can learn something. Putdowns, on the other hand, get in the way, poison conversation, and evoke worse from others.

Your comment would have been just fine without the first and final paragraphs.

> I assume this is how all the caste stuff surfaces.

Stop making assumptions about things that you have no clue about.

Govt of India did a caste census in 2011, they came up with 4,673,034 categories of caste, sub-caste, synonyms, different surnames, gotras in the caste and clan names [1]

At that scale, no one can tell someone's caste by asking such generic questions about hometown and family.

no, from a distribution standpoint it's a pretty grave issue. As the name suggests distributions distribute, and if we start to unbundle the OS from the application layer, Debian loses the very thing people chose it for.

It's in a sense like a legacy carmaker or newsroom being more concerned with its own control than with the product. Doesn't end well over the long term.
The Python<'_> type appearing as a parameter means the caller has already acquired the GIL for you. The GIL is held when Python calls into extension modules, and PyO3 doesn't automatically release it (but you can do so yourself).

It's essentially a dummy parameter that serves as proof that the GIL is held. You need to provide it to PyO3 when calling back into the Python runtime, that way the compiler ensures the GIL is still held where required.
From the article:

> What if you just can't think of anything?

Just write about your day if you need to. What you did, what you read about online (including reflecting on news if you read that), what thoughts you had over the course of the day.

When I have good writing habits I can easily write 500-3000+ words about my day, and I don't have what most people would consider an interesting life. I just work from home, work on my hobbies (mostly gamedev), read articles, go to one or two social events a week (often just a family party or casual game night or meetup, nothing crazy), go to a few conventions throughout the year, and take one weeklong trip.

One year I managed to write 120,000+ words with this approach, and it likely would have been higher if I hadn't skipped a decent number of days (maybe not a lot higher, I sometimes made up for the skipped days by reflecting back as much as I could).

I'm not currently that good about it, though. In general it's been a bad year for me for writing these things. Maybe this article will help me get back into it.
Read through the article - fill-in journal seems like a good idea for a small app. Does anything like that exist?

One of the big issues you'll find is that some off the defaults are very specific to my company. I'll fix that in the rewrite.
There are many pieces of process global runtime state that can get corrupted that are irrelevant to the input data.

You can get lucky and sometimes avoid corruption, but eventually you're going to hit something important like leaving a libc heap allocator mutex locked when you kill a thread in the middle of an allocation.
No, you need lateral resistance from something in contact with the water. Otherwise you just get blown downwind until the point your speed relative to the wind (apparent wind) drops away and you're not getting enough lift any more.
I don't think that's actually what it says though! The blog post talks about how no one looks at the data (implying that the data is not used) and it separately talks about the inconsistent and disconnected ways that companies allocate funds. It does not, that I could tell, actually say the metrics work has revealed data the company is ignoring. Obviously if they are that's different from what I said!
There is also, you know, just paying attention and drawing our own judgements from what we see with our own eyes.

Feeling flu? Not familiar with that expression. You mean feeling physically sick?

Yeah that doesn’t happen to me.
> not the physics

no physics matter

because it makes it much harder and in turn more costly to the more channels you have to have high quality reliable connections

server RAM is for example also slower to compensate this e.g. recent EPYC processors run at up to 4800MT/s but a Ryzen 9 runs at up to 5200MT/s (without overclocking, with running at 6000MT/s isn't that uncommon)

server also tend to always use EEC memory

so it's a benefit/cost balance calculation

Depends on the company. My stints with BigCorp life were full of 6-7PM meeting times and expectations to keep up with Slack and email even during vacations and holidays.

I have friends at Amazon who have started to miss our Saturday events because they’re feverishly working to avoid being caught in the next round of layoffs.

I also have friends at some FAANG companies who seem like they’re barely working (their own admission) so it varies wildly. Can’t really generalize.

> more definitive action will be taken against climate change

a) our problem is not only the climate change, but overshoot / polycrisis

b) there is a profit to be made even from the collapse, maybe bigger than ever

Nothing will get changed, because solving the problems would mean dismantling the system.
While I agree with the central point, just wait until you see the data in China, Japan, and South Korea. It makes the US look damn healthy by comparison.
Meanwhile Seattle is under a perpetual cloud of choking smoke for like 2 months out of every year because WA and Canada are incompetent when it comes to forest management, and the best people can do to pretend to care is tell you to rubber band a furnace filter to a box fan and wear N95 masks to work.

Banning wood stoves is like banning plastic bags. It's a superficial, empty gesture that is a drop in the bucket that makes no meaningful impact.

I'll continue to heat my cabin with wood, thank you.

The anti AI and anti open-source pieces are really flowing these days.

"No to AI. And if yes to AI then only for big corporations with strict direct government control".

Sure that might not be the ideal answer from a chatbot. But people can get the same reinforcement from their dreams, random strangers on Internet forums, or a 4 lines python program than answers "yes" to everything they would input.
Ideal != even close to going to happen. As you note, the reality on the ground is so unconducive to that actually happening, it’s a joke.
What, you’re saying Rust is an AI programming language?

I don’t understand why AIs wouldn’t use the languages humans already use to program?

Or do you mean, if an AI designed a programming language, it would be better than anything humans have come up with? Why? I’d expect it would be more like some unholy mashup of C, Javascript and Python.
So it sounds like "in-game currency" at this point (from the minimum $15 charge)
I understand that smoke is noxious, but I am still somewhat bewildered by the lack of corroborating historical data.

My own grandparents grew up in fairly modest rural settings, where burning wood was literally the only way not to freeze (I am talking about the 1930s here). At least one of their native villages was located in a tight valley where smoke tends to stay.

But lung disease wasn't that much of a problem among them and their neighbors. People typically died of heart attacks, strokes etc., or lived to be fairly old. (Two of my four grandparents made it to 90.)

I would expect a much more prominent data peak there. With other toxic substances, we often have it. With asbestos, even ancient Romans knew that slaves who mined asbestos died early of some weird lung disease etc.; the ancients lacked equipment, but were often good observers anyway.
This is true, but it got very temporarily skewed in recent years at some companies that had a lot of cash flow. There really were companies hiring a lot of highly qualified people mostly to have large teams of highly qualified people.

The rubber band is snapping back, though. Layoffs are hitting all of these companies and expectations are rising quickly. Inevitably, companies paying a lot of money for people will expect to get their money’s worth out of them.
Actually the 24/7 media does not make us safer at all because control over much of it is still relatively concentrated.

The most dangerous misinformation ever always comes from nation-states and their puppet media in the form of propaganda. This is necessary to motivate war (which is strategic) because people won't engage in mass killing for strategic reasons only -- they need some ethical justification.

Reality is never quite enough to make war palatable, so propaganda must be used to make the enemy seem inhuman or highlight their worst behaviors or cultural failings.

This will come from your most trusted news sources. In every country that participates, hundreds of millions will be utterly convinced that killing as many of the participants in the other countries is their moral duty.
That all seems reasonable to me. It's a tradeoff. One thing that frequently happens is that an edited title helps an article make the front page, and then we revert it after that. I think this can be a good balance sometimes. (If it were a bad article for HN, we wouldn't do that—rather we would downweight the thread.)

I don't want to say "it's ok to break the rule in such a case for such a purpose" because one can't say that with any precision—it will just be heard as "ignore the rule and do whatever you want".

Very good point. The size of University bureaucracy has exploded. Someone suggested that when students don't pay back their loans, the universities should be on the hook. This could work but it might make higher education out of reach but for only the best, or limit majors to only those with "viable" career earnings. Whatever that would mean..
I don't think you can really consider the environment here as there are too many variables to consider in a reliable model. E.g. its not clear that replacing that entire planes worth of peoples trips with another routing would even net a gain, if people might have to do more circuitous routing that take more time and distance, or take different modes of transit that aren't a fully electrified rail that goes end to end, e.g. a lightly filled bus that has a much lower per passenger mpg than an airplane.
Indeed. Some friendly competition makes the products better for everyone.
From my experience (SEO consultant for 6 years), ranking high can happen almost immediately. It just depends what website you're trying to rank. Google's algorithm values authority heavily. And one of the things that isn't very authoritative is if you have a brand new domain. So if you want to get around the whole "SEO takes time" thing, you have to acquire a domain that has been around for a long time in the space/industry you're looking to rank content in. If wikipedia posted a article tomorrow on a topic, chances are they will rank high the next day for that topic. But if a brand new domain published the same content, it would take much longer and more effort to achieve the same result due to the disparity in authority. Also there's only so much room on page 1 of Google. Not everything is going to rank high that is the nature of SEO.
And we’ll see what ‘new’ polyamory looks like on that front in a generation or two as well eh?

Still too early to tell otherwise.

Would anyone be interested in a self hosted version of what Patreon offers for creators?

I have been working on a free Wordpress alternative that is built with React, and removes the guard rails and burdens for creators that WP creates.

https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli

I have had requests to include Twitch like features such as tipping, subscriptions, and power ups.

I started planning out these features to get them into the development pipeline and I realized that some of these features are the value that Patreon creates.

Would developers/creators be interested in having subscription tiers, tips, power ups, rewards, etc, on their own website alongside their content?

I am currently working with a local creator who recently switched over to us; and we are piloting ways to level up his content on his domain by linking his Patreon account.

But as the author of the article mentioned, this creator goes by a stage name when he’s connecting with fans.

Right now FFI + ctypes has one big advantage: it supports true parallelism with GIL-per-subinterpreter in Python 3.12. AFAIK all the higher-level binding libraries/tools (PyO3, pybind11, nanobind, Cython) don't support this yet; and in fact can't really support it without API-breaking fundamental design changes.

Last year interest rates weren't 5.5%, they were 3% and investments were already starting to tighten up. It now costs even more to deploy capital and looks to remain that way for a while, possibly indefinitely. It's really as simple as that.

The danger with generating source code is that you now depend on source rules which may have changed, never applied to your source language, or are made more complicated by class loading refs. I’d definitely go for byte code generation, and possibly using constant dynamic to handle any really tricky constants, over source code any day.
