Cooperation of board/executives is not required but it is immensely helpful.

"The easy way" vs "the hard way."
I've been looking for a good browser based vector editor and https://editor.graphite.rs/ looks promising aswell.
To be able to say that you're able to bootstrap all your way to tech worker is often determined by where you're born, or if you immigrated to a certain country.

It's never always your initiative that makes things happens.

And the attitude that they have to "fight" for it is wrong and antisocial. They have to build it.

So I misspoken.

Doing valuable and important things and getting paid well isn't necessarily the same thing. The market isn't the end all be all determining the value of your work.

Gold is priced more money than water, and gold is a useless trinket compared to water.
> Sure, but what are the majority of their customers going to do?

Providing a status monitor/canary page does not force anyone to register an account or subscribe to a service. They can provide all sorts of push/pull notification options they can conceive. Once Elon Musk's Twitter restricted access to their API I'm afraid Twitter lost any relevance for this type of use case.
Ideogram is really far behind dalle-3 and midjourney
At the time, I interacted with both Stormy Peters and Karen Sandler during my GNOME time. Their work was really positive and really appreciated. During their time, their was no debate and everybody agreed that the money spent to pay them was money well spent.

(I don’t want to dismiss Neil McGovern but I simply have no experience working with him).
I think it’s just the start of the “the emperor has no clothes” iceberg that is social media. I actually think GP is on to something with their “nobody cares” bit, because if people aren’t going to follow you outside of X then they probably don’t really care about what you’re sharing. There is obviously a lot to be said about the large “community” but in many ways but if it’s just a lot of “talk” then where is the actual value in it? If “hits” don’t correlate to actual product sales then it’s just a waste of time, and how likely are you really to sell your product to people who won’t even bother following you outside of X?
Coops do have a lot to offer to markets too, since coops tend to value stability over exponential growth and there are various markets where this is desperately needed.

I think the more wonderful idea of coops is democratic hierarchy on top of flat hierarchy, where directors or even a president is elected and limited to certain rights for efficiency:

- president for pr

- director to see that the vision of the project is on the right track.

Where ofc veto or votes are needed for certain tasks.
The problem (as alluded to above) is that stacktraces give you no context to what went wrong, only where it happened and the (possibly cryptic) underlying error.

IMO the real value in proper error handling (ie what makes fixing errors easy) is that context, not the precise line # of the error which, though useful, is supplementary data. Rust errors with anyhow::Contexts are far more workable than those without.

Edit: I actually wrote a simple Result handling package for Go that includes error context and stacktraces: https://github.com/kitd/chock
We've fixed a lot of things. There's no longer any rivers that catch fire in the US for example :P

Excel stacks can be effective, but they need to be setup correctly and to have effective operational control. Royal College have a right to surprise - they are a client of ANRO and had to winkle the information out of them. Given the way things turned out, I think Dr Marks comments are also appropriate.
The customer is not always right. Just because the customer wants something or believes something doesn’t make it factually true.

This really isn’t about being a lawful authority trying to buzz-kill society as much as it is about having principles as a doctor. The patient wants a cure to an ailment while their doctor has no evidence of its efficacy.

If I had someone coming into my auto repair shop telling me they didn’t need brakes, they let Jesus take the wheel like they heard in the song, my noncompliance to their request to remove them from their vehicle does not make me a gatekeeper like the Catholic priests you described.

> Not paying employees for work already rendered is wage theft, which is actual theft.

Correct.

I can only assume "companies are not allowed to pay out employees" refers to suggestions of severance, health care, etc. in this thread.

Not earned wages, which have high legal priority.
> It means if you want to see a persons latest tweets, you have to login/create an account. It's infuriating. A stupid growth tactic.

It's a dark pattern, and one which only the most desperate services implement as their last desperate attempt to force users to register and login at the expense of eliminating any value the platform has to them.
Pointless.

In the heat the battle, with deadlines pending, and projects on the go, no one gives af about accounting until the very end when they realise they've f'd up the budget and want you to save the day "somehow".

What makes you think they are unqualified?

People get rejected because they are not the best fit, not because they are unfit.
> and they just hired unqualified candidates!

They're still people with valid medical licenses - the pool of candidates wouldn't have people who couldn't legally practice medicine, so I'd assume the qualification criteria they were being assessed on is unrelated to their ability to not accidentally kill me on the OR table.
> There is a non-zero chance that something bad could happen with the domain (...)

If something happens with the domain that prevents you from accessing the service, the page works as intended by being down. I mean, what do you think users will say when they go to the domain and their browser shows an error?
> and they just hured unqualified candidates

Hopefully not unqualified, just not the "best" available
I think fully legit letting is a massive risk. People can be reckless and ultimately there is very little you can recover from an unreasonable, reckless person.

And AirBNB, well it's legal but it's certainly leaving hosts in some kind of grey area. I suppose one reason why hotels are expensive is they have to be prepared for such very cases. But Airbnb hosts probably don't think about that too often.

A lot of the "sharing economy" (a term that fell out of use a bit it seems) is about pushing the risks and external costs onto individuals, who are not well placed to deal with them, who can't price these risks properly and aren't well placed to deal with then if they do occur. But none of that interferes with the upfront platform commission so all is hunky dory.
thanks, today I learned.

Firefox has useful about:about pages.

With some revamp they could capitalize on some of them much more. After newtab, the last addition was "Firefox View" for recently closed tabs or synced tabs. I'd wish the same for history, bookmarks and downloads. Those very much show their origin as sqlite browser.
What was this whole conflict about? Red Hat killing CentOS and forcing people to pay for Red Hats support instead of just being able to pull the code from CentOS for free?
There are lots of random bits which are still CPU bound.

https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/ - can you click through to workflows to specific programs and then look up Hardware Recommendations to get a run down.

While Blender itself is a mostly GPU bound situation, a lot of other media creation software is more mixed.

* Photoshop: mostly still limited to 8 cores (some filters being GPU enabled)

* Premiere: GPU used only to handle specific effects (so it depends on your mix of effects)

* AfterEffects: mostly CPU bound
As close as I can tell, Russians tend to be very fatalistic. It's never been a happy place. It's cold, the state is corrupt, life is cheap. But people have a strong personal need for justice, to find those guilty and make them pay. But the state won't deliver justice, so you make a stand, and life is cheap so you take risks and double down. Hence Navalny, hence Litvinenko, hence all the journalists over the years who reported until they were thrown out windows or gunned down in public. Incredibly brave, I only wish the bravery led to real change rather than a neverending Greek tragedy.
I know what you mean. But reading again the recruitment process was for "third-level specialist training position (ST3)" which I think is the 3rd year of a 5 year training. So everyone was in training, its just that the relative ranking got messed up. Its not like random people could apply. So I guess thats why they decided to honor their (frankly terrible) job offer fuck ups.
A Journey Through Asynchronous Programming and Linux Networking
Read how our engineers debugged a perplexing connection issue in Aembit Edge, highlighting key asynchronous DNS challenges to Linux kernel race conditions.
As I said: Maybe you want to specify a different placement option like `b` instead of `t`. Maybe you don't want the label equal to the file path, in particular if you happen to include an image twice.

Or you don't want it centered. Or you want several images in one figure environment arranged in some way. Or you want to scale the included image to fit only 70% of the page width. Or maybe you want to rotate the included image by 90 degrees. Many more use cases are imaginable.

You could define the macro to cover all of this, but then you might as well just write the original code.
To clarify, when this group says AST interpreter they mean ones that also have a JIT attached, such as what you get with RPython or GraalVM.

If AST interpreters without a JIT perform better than reasonably-written bytecode interpreters via some technique or for some workload (other than just short-running scripts, which is fair), I'd love to learn about it!
That’s why you throw an exception, catch it some level up, and rethrow it wrapped in another exception, with proper context.
Typesafe Ruby would require Rails to ship .rbs files or use other gems like Sorbet I guess?
He was initially detained for extradition to Sweden on sexual offence charges. The security on that was so light he was able to skip his (expensive, donor-paid) bail.

The intelligence people were annoyed with him back then, hence all the claims of even that arrest being "a conspiracy" sounding at least slightly plausible, and yet, even then, they were demonstrably so uninterested that he could walk to an embassy and claim asylum.

He has been denied bail now because he skipped bail then and when doing so specifically said his reason was not wanting to end up in the country who now wants to extradite him.

And to be blunt, saying "as I am afraid of being extradited to the USA, I want to remain in a country that has a history of extraditing people to the USA rather than be extradited to a different country that has a slightly lesser reputation for the same" was one of the things that a decade ago made me think he was fleeing justice for the sexual offences rather than being sincere in (what ought to have been a legitimate) fear of the USA.

There's Firefox Focus on mobile, which clears anything when a tab is closed. And it has special notification-like reminders which make closing a tab easy, like Chrome incognito mode.
Clear browsing history is the default action.
It has ad blocking included.
It's essentially an incognito mode browser.
> unqualified candidates

While this may be true, (but someone has to be the lowest scoring one - it could've been a group where everyone is great) keep in mind it was a list of candidates who are aware of their lowest scores, getting a training position in a place aware of their lowest scores, with 5 more years ahead of them. It sucks that it happened, but I think they'll be under extreme scrutiny/pressure now.
Just like Android Compose is Flutter but for Android devices only?

I managed to get my Netflix entire account deleted with all of my bookmarks on where I stopped watching what because I haven't re-subscribed for a while.
I suspect they have some kind of grace period before your data gets purged. If you hit it you will have to create account anew and it will be completely blank new.
Spreadsheet stacks are actually effective - and often robust if the Copy Paste technician has a little bit of nous

This is true. Sounds like they have cobbled together a system using Excel because thats why you have to do when processes change all the time.

The alternative is to find a 'proper' HR system to handle all the weird custom processes which is a massive three year project that costs tens of millions and then probably fails to deliver.

IT people complain about people cobbling things together in Excel but in the short and medium term thats usually the only way for people to get shit done

But yes management dropped the ball and should have had some checks and balances. No-one realised that every candidate from Wales got rejected? Thats a clanger.
I've only had Ghost Pepper (once, not keen on repeating) but the pain wasn't really so bad because it was a complete endorphin (or adrenaline?) rush with just sitting there for a bit (and crying). Interesting experience.

Thank god. For once, mother nature didn't pull a polar bear on us.
You automate all the recurring things (this is built into Gnucash), enter the non-recurring things (takes a minute or two a day if that day even had any transactions) and reconcile against the bank's statement/app/website monthly to make sure its representation stays accurate.

Once you've entered a transaction once, its autocomplete handles those going forwards so entering a new transaction is as quick as typing the first couple of letters of the shop name, pressing tab a few times, then entering the amount.
This is an aside, but in general, aren’t tokens a pretty bad hack to improve context length? I don’t know enough about the theory to say, but it seems like it should make all kinds of things much more fragile, like how well it can understand misspellings, or languages that don’t map well to the tokens available.
>> On his office desk, Aleksandar Gavrilovic keeps two figurines: Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary, and Josip Broz Tito, the former communist leader of Yugoslavia.

There is a reason people wanted independence from Yugoslavia...

>> Each worker earns the same salary and shares the profits of the games they create.

When one person realizes he is doing the majority of the work and that many of his coworkers are incompentents who are being dragged along he will realize the truth: that some people are more capable than others and will then naturaly start asking himself "Why do I get paid the same when I get so much more work done"?

Communism is at odds with the reality: that some people are more capable than others.

The moment one realizes it it's over for communism.

This is the reason why communism will always be doomed to failure.

>> All decisions are reached through anonymous voting on Discord

Some people understand what makes games better than others. But now incompetent people get the same voting power as those that actually know what makes games good. The result is a bad/mediocre game instead of an excellent one.

This kind of a study can work for a while: but only until the really capable devs realize that they are doing the lions share of the work. When this happens the smart ones will leave, and the clowns will remain. The result will be bad games which no-one will buy.

Communism assumes people are born equally capable. We are not. And many incompetent people think they are component. This is how companies and communist countries get destroyed: because everyone is assumed equal so truly competent people never rise to the top.

Eg Elon Musk himself, just one guy, is the only reason why the USA has an electric car industry and more rocket lunches than China.

Obviously crunch etc.. is a huge problem in this industry: when people are truly passionate about something they will do a lot of work. The problem is that in the gamedev industry you do a LOT of work but the pays are substandard.

>> The co-op model means that everyone is responsible for running the company.

Some people are not good at that and via democratic voting will vote for stupid and destructive decisions. Some people should simply have NO vote in certain things.
It is absolutely astounding to me that such behaviours are both legal and tolerated in the so-called "land of the free". Astounding. You need to prove that your money is innocent? Pulling up bank statements on the jet bridge?

The difference is you know the easy way to get what you want in rmarkdown/quarto but only know the hard way in latex?

My latex docs look nothing like that because I put all the boiler plate in a .sty file.
I use profiles not containers, and have links opening using the correct profile by wrapping stuff with the `BROWSER` environment variable. For example my Signal.desktop launcher contains this line

Exec=env BROWSER='firefox -P personal' signal-desktop -- %u

For other apps I use `firefox -P work`, e.g. a shell alias for AWS SSO.

They already do lose a lot of money if things go south. Its a risk they should, as investors, be willing to take. If their idea is successful, as they expected, they will make it back.

Wage labourers lose a lot of time and money invested as well, when their livelihood is taken away from them, do they not count?
> As the post mentions, the de-facto official way to distribute games on linux is as a windows binary run via wine/proton.

It absolutely isn't unless you hate your users.

> you can static link everything _except_ opengl

You don't need to statically link OpenGL - it has a stable ABI and most functions need to be loaded at runtime anyway.

> This is similarly an issue with containerizing graphical apps: last I read you needed to have the same version graphics libraries both on the host system and _within_ the container due to the weird linking issues.

You don't need to worry about containers when distributing native Linux games.

Yes, for one you could stop spreading FUD.

If the social media damage gets estimated at more than 300k (which is possible, at airbnb's size), they may do just that.

Legal litigation is unlikely to bring a quick payout or anything at all and airbnb lawyers would probably be able to tire the host and get her to quit or settle for little.
Possible evidence for this sort of thing in Peru too: "doorways" carved into rock faces etc. at local spiritual sites ("huacas") although little solid evidence of what they were actually used for, or exactly how old they are.
I do that for dedicated netflix profile (with company icon) having DRM enabled, very useful.

If Firefox did extend the Profile Manager to allow for this kind of personalisation and OS integration (profiles showing up as their own, customizeable launcher icon), that'd be another win.
Not necessarily -- perhaps they'd found 26 suitable candidates, picked ten of them to fill their ten open positions, but accidentally sent offers to all 26.
Primary Constructors and Collection Syntax seem good.

I think with target typed new and this new collection syntax I probably won't use var anymore.
There are other laws around how you can use names. For example, only companies with a banking license can be called a bank. That's why many holding companies are called Bancorp.

It's intentional that trademark registration is reasonably easy, but enforcement is more thorough. When (say) 99% of trademarks are not contested, this saves the government agencies substantial resources.

Think of it like a software optimisation where edge servers cache files when they are requested for the first time, but not proactively when 99% of files are not requested.
Markdown isn’t detailed enough for legal stuff. Internal references, tables, complex section numbering require extensive post processing or simply don’t work. You quickly wind up with a lot of hidden magic that frustrates people used to word.

Last time I lost patience with doing Legal stuff in word and evaluated alternatives, I was most optimistic about Asciidoc. Unfortunately the ecosystem was relatively anemic… the strong syntax was limited by the tooling.

Looks like there’s been some improvement, maybe I’ll try again. There’s a nice new homepage at least: https://asciidoc.org/
1) File a claim against your homeowners/landlords policy. Plumbing flooding is a common loss.

Panics are discouraged to use though, or, only when you intend to have the whole app crash immediately, which is rarely the case. It's there, but you shouldn't use them in practice.
Having worked with "spreadsheet stacks" for the last two decades I'd argue that although they can be effective in most cases they are error prone which is the point being made in your quote. And they become more error prone the more complex the "system" is and that's bad news because it's oh so easy to add more complexity whenever you want.

I agree the practices described don't sound strange - they sound normal, but so does the resulting errors that occurred - also par for the course.
Same experience here and with all due respect to their work. I could understand accountants using it but for the general public it forces you to use accounting concept that unnecesary (could be done internally) for managing your personal finances.

In another context this also happens with CRMs where marketing and sales people end up using spreadsheets and from time to time uploading information to the CRM with some push.
A few years ago there was an effort to come up with improving error handling, but after several months of back and forth, various concepts, etc etc, the consensus was that the existing error handling wasn't too bad, and/or the proposed alternatives weren't significantly better.
Having tenants in general have made me sympathize with landlords... a little.

For every well adjusted tenants you'll get 2 bad ones and it's usually even worse if you rent it furnished, since people just starts to magically break your stuff, but their own stuff is kept in pristine condition.
