Not sure why that's "hopefully" - if you like getting the rate GS pays you, you want it to be sustainable for them and therefore for you.

In practice - I forget the details - but it works in the other direction. The bank sets the rate it pays YOU based on a combination of what it can make elsewhere and how badly they want to get your money to fund that investment. Unless GS is somehow forced by their deal with Apple to pay out more than they can make (I see no evidence of that in the article) you'd expect this is how they operate.
And it's not just for developers who might be using the expensive stuff (git, storage, CI minutes). Also for members of the org who only use tickets.
In my homelab, I use Portainer to manage my hosts. All of my workloads are installed as collections of Docker containers, and I'm slowly but surely migrating even single container installs to Compose stacks. With some real bare bones GitOps, those stack files can be in Git, and deploy to the host in Portainer, thus at least giving me the recipes to rebuild my environment should it ever be lost.
Does the Evidence for Our Universe's Fine-Tuning Mean Anything?
> that code is not valid C anymore, but a dialect

> I think it's fair to limit ourselves to the actual language as-is

I don't agree. Standard C only ever seems to be discussed when some asinine undefined behavior starts causing problems that we have to work around. No one cares about it otherwise.

It's better to redefine C as whatever the compilers accept. Now we can actually move forward and actually fix problems such as "signed integer overflow is undefined" -- just tell the compilers to start dealing with it.
Amazing! How lucky we are to be alive for such advancements in Technology. They are really doing something special at OpenAI.
That may be true, although I use my phone in both normal daylight and very dark environments. If I'm paying $1,000+ for a phone, I certainly expect that it will look good (i.e., not be littered with artifacts) in either of those common uses cases.

> The proposal threatens the free and open internet in a number of ways, but one of the biggest revolves around the fact that should there be a central server that attests to whether a browser can be trusted or not, it means that anything non-standard will not be trusted. In other words, new browsers would not be trusted, and legacy software would no longer be able to access much of the internet after a certain length of time. Given that it verifies the integrity of the browser, it could also technically block certain extensions (such as Adblock) if Google were to go down that route.
How can they be worth less than their equity? Do they have negative goodwill? If so, that's hilarious.
>Compelling alternative would be for it to return zero.

That's actually way less safe than crashing. If your code doesn't handle the case where the denominator is zero, it is likely that the logic around your division doesn't consider it either. The behavior you suggest would take a rapidly increasing number and instantaneously set it to 0, then silently pass it into the logic that was humming along up to that point.

Since there's no symbol for NaN in integers, there is no safe way to represent `x / 0`, and thus the best way to handle it is to fault. Even better would be if the compiler caught it and warned you.
Lmao they wont allow remote work in the west but are fine with remote work elsewhere.
Therein lies the interesting design space, yeah. Control flow, data layout, semantics of basic blocks are sometimes target agnostic and sometimes not. Sometimes a div instruction needs to turn into a runtime call, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you want explicit control of registers, sometimes any gpr is fine.

Which I suppose yields the other language choice. Instead of C or assembly, write in something very like a compiler IR. Ymmv persuading non-compiler devs to code in SSA form directly.
The real engine behind "AI" is the bad tech economy
Obviously they get to defined whatever better means in the context of AoC. But better at AoC does not mean a better programmer in any way.

bug report:

when you are playing a playlist and go to the "pop out" window, clicking on "Next video" button on the pop out player messes up the payback (moves to next video only in the main parent window to new video which starts playing simultaneously)

also, clicking "back to tab" on the floating player window ... does not return the user focus to the main plyaer window. you have to hunt for it in task bar and ppen the main window manually yourself.

related feature request:

it would be great if the floating popup player also had a time seek control

main playback controls on video should include next/previous buttons when playing from a playlist
Thank you. I’ll be sure to check this one out when the Python supports lands.

Perhaps not same level as containers, but WASM runtime could be a powerful addition here. Or a container running said WASM code. I’m thinking more about untrusted client code for ad hoc data analysis and such.

One additional question: is Postgres foreign data wrappers going to be supported?

I don't know where you are... but my biggest issue with the last few years, was that promotions were handed out left and right. Half of the engineering teams I worked with in the last 3 years should be demoted from being called Senior anything, considering most of them are at most 3-5 years out of college.

Just today - a Staff DBA was completely befuddled by the 5000 concurrent connections config parameter on Postgres RDS, when they had the task of making sure that the services stop dropping connections for the last month.

My previous job has a "senior" engineer that routinely blocks any attempt to move from an in house NodeJS proxy, because it would cost an extra $70 per month... and for the architectural decisions the explanation is routinely "because I like it".
A lot of people here have no income and are trying to get into software (or working on their pre-revenue startups).

I've always liked the premise that you should be competent one level below where you do your daily work. The tools you use should be more efficient for you, not necessarily the only way you can get your work done. If you don't know how to use a drill, you shouldn't use a drill press.

By that token, using AI to solve AoC really seems like one would be doing themselves a disservice. You might tell yourself you fully understand what the AI spits out, and maybe you do, but you won't build the same sort of comprehension that you would from solving it yourself. Nor will you retain it for as long.
OP is talking about the terms of layoffs (as in the severance package) rather than about layoffs in general.
I definitely believe it can be worth it monetarily. But to me it seems like such a maze of which cards to get, what point transfers to do. When it comes down to it, I don't even travel that much. Churning cards. One of my friends has a bunch a points that are going to expire, or there's point inflation or something?

I may waste my time on other things (like on hn, lol) but I don't think I want to spend it on that.
Same with Apple Pay. You don't need to use the Apple credit card for that.
slightly branching out, I wonder if recent languages like zig allow (or will) customized array language features. They seem to more flexible about compiletime vs runtime and also allocation mechanisms

So long as the need is there people will be driven to install the app. For all the issues it's caused, Facebook did connect parts of the world that were never connected before. It's just that the business model of Facebook isn't decoupled from the benefits it brings.

In my opinion the only thing preventing this is the lack of technological progress. If the technology exists, someone will attempt to apply it to problems they perceive - brainstorming, throwing things at the wall, looking for untapped markets. Whether out of trying to secure a revenue stream or out of optimism for the future of humanity through the changes they bring, or some mix of multiple motives, it seems the end result is the same - a mix of the good and bad.

The issue I perceive is some of what makes people human is the flaws they carry for their entire lives. However, what gets the attention of biological sensors are qualities that are near perfection. So I guess the disconnect in this case is the founder of this company watching the turmoil of person-to-person relationships and seeing that as a business opportunity. They could frame it as: making up for those flaws could be lucrative, because why would having flaws help someone? Why would confronting people with their flaws help us?

For what it's worth, I think there is a market out there of people who retreat when confronted and don't respond to traditional therapy, and maybe there are others who don't want a human relationship, whether by choice or circumstance. There might always be an interested audience for this sort of thing in the case that the technology allows for it to come true one day. So I'm gradually becoming more concerned about the idea of an up-to-now untested software platform with potential ramifications for millions of people can come out of nowhere and be deployed at the push of a button.

Unfortunately, because the effects of large platforms like these take years to become apparent as in the case of social networking and ADHD-like symptoms, the damage may have to be assessed when the platform is already cemented in place as a perceived inalienable right. Just how smartphones are now ubiquitous and billions of people can't imagine life without them any longer, someday consumers may become very attached to their ownership of AI and its integration into society. It worries me if the results of even non-general AI turn out to be anything like the second-order effects of smartphones and social networking. But I don't think it's within many technologists' playbook to slow down and question what they're doing, since someone else could seize the opportunity and revenue instead.

If anything I'd be curious as to what dedicated users of this service would think about interpersonal human relationships in contrast to AI ones.
On the other hand, some kinds of work may not really make it to market inside the 10 years. It's all tough compromises.

I'm sure we can agree that we can definitely do better than what we have now, though. Let's not make perfect the enemy of good.
Socket activation means that every application must be modified so that it can run both with activation or without. So you need to patch every application for compatibility with systemd. And if tomorrow there will be an alternative system daemon, you will have to patch everything again?

Talk about a falling off the rails type of piece, this is it.
Yeah, I guess it's mostly just wordsmithing. But I don't think it's pedantry: by making the claim that their hardware isn't emulation, it implies that it's somehow better than software emulators. There's just an entirely different set of tradeoffs here, and FPGA emulators are not inherently more accurate than software emulators.

I used it with a team of 10 folks at my previous job. Everyone worked in a common git repo, and with some smart usage of .gitignore, we were all able to collaborate quite effortlessly, even going so far as to push videos, images, etc to the repo with git-lfs to make the documentation rich and available. It can certainly be multiplayer with a modicum of effort.

Why even allow registrations at a distance? I'm a complete go beginner but that feels more in the spirit of go to me: making you do something a little annoying that ends up being clear and simple.

Of course it's too late now but I'm surprised this API was ever considered because it seems obviously scary and wrong to let a dependency just create it's own routes.
I've probably learned more about unix signals from using them on a running machine than I did when I had to write c code using them.

Both nowadays, from when I have to send a SIGHUP to GNOME to restart it when some extension has a memory leak and it locks up. (Really wish the wayland version had that functionality) And quite a while back when I'd often SIGSTOP firefox so my crummy core2duo machine could play videos without skipping frames.
Yea honestly I think there would be value in them adding a checkbox that says "I used AI to mostly solve this problem" and maybe even list the AI. Could be an interesting way to see how the different AIs perform against such problems.
Even when there aren’t better sources I’ve found that the SO results are just all outdated and don’t cover any newer stuff. Like they’ve lost all their authors or at least they’re not being indexed by Google.

$8,400 over three years is about $230/month. And aside from the opportunity cost of your labor to optimize that, you should also theoretically account for any purchases that you wouldn't have made if you weren't trying to optimize your points (if any; I'm sure it's hard to attribute).

With current interest rates of around 5%, one could get the same stream of income ($2.8k/y) by just plonking $50k or so into a high-yield savings account or money market fund.
High Earner, Not Rich Yet. So high income but relatively low net worth.
Oooh, this is exciting. I have two Analogue pockets, and really like the device. For reference, the Analogue pitch is: frame accurate / CPU cycle accurate classic gaming device simulation using a hefty FPGA. The proposal is that this feels better / different from emulators. The pockets have some 'sugar' around simulating CRT colors and bleed for a more authentic experience.

All this is generally my experience with the devices. They feel very like my memory of childhood games, much more so than play in emulation. And I love it.

That said, the software ecosystem side of these devices feels like a near total disaster; I think it's a combination of legal concerns around copyright for ROMs, and the company's DNA. The amount of work to play, say Zelda on an Analogue Pocket, is akin to jailbreaking an Android phone, circa 2013. Lots of sdcard downloads, firmware checks, custom software tools, arcane paths through the OS software. I think they could afford to make a cleaner and easier software path.

At any rate, I will order an N64 capable Analogue console as soon as I can - the idea of having an N64/(PS1? Saturn?) device that will last in my house is irresistible.

I'm also very curious to see what they do on controllers - the N64 had a weirdo wing-shaped controller, and using other control layouts for N64 games seems tough to me. Should be fun!

You are gambling that the airlines let you spend those points or miles on something that you would have bought anyway at a conversation rate of $0.021 per point or mile, but there is no guarantee. They hold all the cards and they can devalue those anytime they like.

To me, if I have to spend any extra time figuring out how to spend those miles and points, or if I have to make even a single extra stop or adjust my itinerary to make use of them, then it is not worth it compared to a simple 2% cash back scheme.
I have the email address problem, but that's the only paramter that needs to vary. I use the simplest way of handling this, which is this in my .config/git/config:

Right. Land and air telecommunications are almost totally controlled by Verizon and AT&T. They are also some of the largest cable companies, although Comcast is a competitor. Although Comcast owns NBCUniversal, and we can start getting into the media monopoly.

We can go through business by business and see the rise of monopolies and oligopolies. Universal owns half of the US music market - Universal, Sony and Warner own over 80% of the US music market. Accounting is done by the Big Four, advertising by its own Big Four.

Just down the line - consolidation, oligopoly, monopoly. That is what markets produce. Standard Oil reversed its breakup into ExxonMobil, as did the Baby Bells into Verizon and AT&T. Even the government intervention into the monopolies gets reversed.

It's interesting that way, I assumed removing the silver tier and not having a real "personal pro" priced tier was just because the long tail wasn't worth it for them if they had to make a support commitment.

This kind of structured approach has fallen out of favor because it's become more popular to hire javascript and react developers straight out of boot camp who have only been taught how to code one or two things.

The argument that code needs to be inherently readable to someone with 3 weeks of experience is how you get hundreds of poorly written spaghetti code microservices written in node or typescript and not a language better suited for backend development. If you want your code base to constantly look like it was written by someone following their first javascript tutorial, then by all means continue using this top-level express JS crap
