This is from Jung right? I've always been fascinated by his teachings, especially the collective unconscious. I'm just gonna leave a couple related quotes and ideas down here cause I want to.

Dostoevsky made observations like this, too.

"It was not you who ate the idea, but the idea that ate you"

"Men need to bow down to something; whether another man or an idea.”

I think Ernest Becker explored similar ideas in The Denial of Death, though through a different context.

Yes, but they may get sacked for this:

> "But according to the lawsuit, in the summer of 2022, some top Gemini staff became worried enough to withdraw their own funds.

If senior executives traded their own assets based on non-public information, it'll be hard to claim that they are just a victim of Genesis/DCG and had no idea this was happening.
>I understand what you said,

You really don't seem to. The allowed recourse, under contention, for unpaid wages due to bankruptcy isn't via the FLSA, its a lawsuit against the company's owners. If you run a taco stand, don't pay your employee, and then declare bankrupcy - validly or not - you will plausibly be held liable, as person, not an LLC, in civil court for those wages. To be paid from your personal assets and or garnished from future income.

Also your quote literally says 'unless declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying wages.'
No, this is foolish. As someone who has owned firearms in the US and watched ammo prices during multiple panics/crises, I can tell you that it's much better to stick to NATO/US standard calibers.

Yes, at the beginning of a panic it seems like you're clever because there's still .25-06 and .17 HMR on store shelves, but the secret is that these cartridges are always more expensive than their more standard counterparts. And during a sustained shortage (like what happened during covid), the ammo plants focus on their highest volume products which they sell to civilian, law enforcement, and government.

When you stick to .22LR, .223/5.56, 9x19, .308/7.62x51 NATO, and 12 gauge, you're taking advantage of the economy of scale that comes with these cartridges. So just buy those while they're cheap and wait out shortages like this one.
I had a math professor who would occasionally correct an equation in the Wikipedia article about some theorem he invented, but someone would always change it back. He eventually gave up.
Very well written statement.

> Importantly, this tracks with what we know about the protective effects of things like religiosity against depression. As such, the qualitative experience of the drug might not be something we can (or should) do away with. I would even go as far as suggesting that an absence of transcendence in one's life is precisely what causes a large segment of people to become depressed in the first place, and that perhaps drugs are helpful only insofar as they produce a transcendent experience.

Fantastic point and so well written. As someone who experimented in my late teens/early 20s, I wholeheartedly agree with this. The experience changed me in a positive way and has helped make me who I am today.
>Turing completeness could be disabled, if it is checked that a type cannot use itself in its definition (or in a definition of an referenced type) in any way, not just directly as it is tested currently. This would make recursion impossible.

That sounds like a reasonable resolution.

To shreds, I say.

The brand value of the word "Twitter" was probably in the billions, and Musk just wiped it away. It was ruined so thoroughly that we can only intelligently talk about it by calling Twitter by its former name because its new name is confusing to even say in conversation.

Twitter's advertising revenue fell off a cliff almost overnight due in no small part to their owner's policy of loudly and publicly attacking individual Twitter advertisers for leaving Twitter.

Twitter had tens of thousands of the most famous celebrities in the world actively participating every day for free, and Musk managed to screw that up in myriad ways, not least of which by falsely labeling them as paid subscribers.

For some godforsaken reason, Twitter's opinion on who and was "notable" or not was a significant status symbol, and Twitter started selling that status symbol for $8/month.

Twitter had a truly impressive internal talent pool, and it's largely gone, ruining their ability to pivot at a time when the whole plan appears to be "wildly pivot."
I think the big "replayability" factor in FTL for me is the knowledge that there are guys out there with win rates over 95% on Hard difficulty.

There's definitely some sameness that creeps in over time, and the events are for sure one of the places where that happens.

But to me there's something almost mystical about the fact that some guys have managed to "solve" the game to that point - that for almost any problem the game presents you, there's a way to win. Even for the ships that seem shitty, with careful play you can get a run snowballing to the point where victory is assured. It almost feels like chess - if you could just see the solution you almost always have a way to win the game.

I don't use mods except a couple little quality of life mods, as most of the mods I've seen (in particular Multiverse) seem to deviate too much from the fairly minimalist design philosophy that I think makes FTL so great. I'd love to see some mods that just add some more events or something that feels like it's thematically in line with that minimalism.

Lastly, I think FTL is one of the best games ever made in terms of really putting you into the mindset of the theme. You just feel like a spaceship captain, or like a Culture style ship "Mind", when you are doing little micro moments like quickly pulling the power from oxygen to squeeze a bit more out of the engines. Or venting rooms to move boarders around your ship. Or planning for the worst on Mantis B and pre-venting rooms. There's so much depth in the game waiting to be exploited.

Usually I go through kicks with FTL and then lose interest for a while, sometimes years at a time - but I always learn something new when I come back and I've gotten to be quite good on my most recent obsession with the game.
It's not really correct to say that there are only 2 binary boolean operators, && and ||. There are also two really important ones, == and !=. They just so happen to not just be boolean operators and I guess they have slightly different behavior if your "booleans" can be more than 1 or 0.
> Increased type safety is not personal preference!

Sure it is! People literally make this choice all the time. If leaf can be any int then I’d suggest a value that determines whether the value is a branch or a leaf. Which is drum roll how tagged unions work anyway.

You still don’t need the else clause with the early return.

Just to be clear the sum type/pattern matching is nice! But it’s perfectly acceptable to live without it and the world won’t end.

The problem I have with these sorts of articles is the "they". I love bandcamp, I'm not happy to see it being cut way down, but who is at fault here? It's not Songtradr. And it's not Epic. It's the original founders who sold the majority shares.

They took it from being a company with a culture that they built, and a community of employees and users and musicians, and said "We are ok with this all going who knows where if we cash out now for enough money." They know damn well anything could happen from then on. Any hiring or firing decisions from that point on are a part of someone's money-making plan that (almost always) ends in another sale (whether private or IPO). Did anyone honestly think Epic was going to be a good custodian?

No one has to do that. Songtrader and other giants and all the PE big funds in the world can't make someone do that. The world is full of companies that never sell 50% of the shares because they care about what they have built more than cash and would prefer to keep a modestly profitable business going that employs their friends and families and continues to embody their values. Some of these even take outside investment from private equity funds - I've done diligences for them - where the deal is very clearly that less than 50% is ever going to be for sale. (These are called "minority" or "growth" investment, less common, but they exist a plenty.)

Ableton famously refuses to take outside investment because the founders care more about the thing they have made and their position in the music and technology culture than they do about being as rich as possible. And they have been an excellent new owner for Cycling 74.

I hope bandcamp makes it, because I still think it's a great alternative to other options. But I'm under no illusion that it's the same thing it was in the beginning. That ship sailed with the first transaction.
Your comment is also bog standard every time there's a service or something being cut down. Like the same with Twitter when they removed headlines, I saw people saying 'well I never read headlines in the first place so it didn't matter'.

It's a semi-smug affirmation that you don't care which, great. There's others that do, especially when the trajectory for changes like these is for a platform to get worse, not better.

It is more than that. It seems like the capitalists are shifting to the mindset that goodwill provides no actual benefit for a business so might as well cash in immediately. Now there is a belief that whenever a customer or business partner leaves an interaction with you with any surplus value, that is an indication that you left money on the table. Happy employees are paid too much. Happy suppliers aren't being squeezed hard enough on pricing. Happy customers mean you missed an opportunity to extract more revenue. People should only barely tolerate doing business with you. That is the new corporate mindset.

A source-to-source compiler, and a library that bundles runtime implementation details, was the path of least resistance. We'd love to integrate this with the Go compiler (`go build -durable`, vs. `coroc && go build -tags durable`), but the compiler is closed and maintaining a fork of Go is not feasible for us at this time.

The accent pattern is not always obvious, such as "grad" (city or hailstone), or some of the feminine nom.sg/gen.pl nouns

And if we take another language's historic spelling as an example: Polish "rz" makes stuff easier for speakers of other Slavic languages, instead of spelling out the ż or sz sound verbatim.
It's a bit hard for me to give Songtradr the benefit of the doubt when they start off by kicking out half of the employees, including, by some very weird coincidence, the whole union bargaining team. Kind of supports the argument of the article that all they care about is maximizing profit, which doesn't bode well for artists or users, even if they're not (yet) affected...

That sort of disconnect was exactly what he said he wanted to do when he left The Daily Show in the first place. I was almost sad for him when the Apple show was announced because it very much felt that he had failed at his retirement attempt. The fact that the show was so very "Old Man Yells at Clouds" only added to that feeling of sadness.

A mistake. Note that basically all the wire services made the same mistake. Reputable services corrected the mistake. Disreputable ones didn't. That's what the original article is about.

And I changed the word to "far-left" for much the same reason. It's not terribly accurate either, but shrug.

If you are using an H3 index as an index to the aggregate of the logically-contained cells at some specified level, it absolutely is true (in this case, the exact geographic border is the border of the set of contained cells ay thr specified level, not the border of the higher-level cell specified by the index.)

Show me the distribution, if it's fairly even across the population I might agree. Aside, I would hardly call Vanguard or Blackrock "the proletariat" - they are clearly entities that represent and profit off of the bourgeoise.
I think it could be really useful for assertions.

assert(someObj => someObj.data);

The cannonical way to write that currently would likely be something like:

if (someObj) assert(someObj.data);

> everyone talked about what a scam it was

The problem is, 'everyone' didn't. Mostly-reputable finance sources were cranking out article after article on smart contracts and the crypto ecosystem etc which made the whole thing sound just as legitimate as any other part of the regulated sector.

A truly immense amount of whitewashing occurred and trickled down from on high, it was everywhere and it continues to this day.

Unfortunately blatant scamming appears to have become very normalised in what were previously relatively high-trust societies.

How was indentation on Ruby code? I made a lisp plugin for Geany and the only way to customize the indentation was to install a keystroke handler for the enter key, which I found very strange coming from the vim world where there are specific hooks just for indentation.
Automation. Pay for materials to be delivered to a factory, automated processes deliver it, factory makes X and packages it, automation delivers to your door.

Not all the way there, but surprisingly close.

Let's face it: labor is soon to be obsolete. All economic models that include labor will become antique notions, similar to factoring in horsepower.

Gonna be a rough road: all folks in power can think of is, how to keep workers slaving away at something, anything, so long as they don't revolt.

The way 'syntax' is implemented in much of Ruby isn't processed by a separate parser, but rather is interpreted during execution of the source to create the objects/classes or modify them to do what is desired by the language feature. Thinking of things this way, it becomes more clear that it's not using the OOP features to get things done but rather mangling them to make pretty DSLs. I would object to too much of that too--except that in this case, I really like pattern matching.
How do they do it? Elevenlabs, AFAIK, requires you to verify your voice. and open source tools like Bark are nowhere near as realistic sounding.
Yeah, if it was so easy why didn't anybody else do it?

Better yet, pick an "easy" idea from right now and go ahead and execute it. Then come back and report how "easy" it really is.
No, I don't believe it is. I think it's part of the WikiMedia foundation, which itself is a non-profit. Could be wrong on that.

I interpreted the word "institutions" pretty broadly here though, since the original comment was talking about a whole "era". Not trying to disagree with the gist of the original comment, just making discussion about an edge case I thought of.
I think it's clear that they meant "profit" instead of "margin" from the context of the previous paragraph and the rest of the paragraph that your excerpt is from.

One thing I will say, from talking to the various people who worked on this and then USDS, they were almost entirely burnt out at the end because they were having just non-stop meetings and doing constant firefighting and trying to get large government contractors to act like tech startups.

In retrospect, maybe we shouldn't worship "heros who drop in, save a project, then leave", especially if it leads to non-sustainable lifestyle for the heros, or creates further technical debt that makes it hard for contractors to develop sites.

Corporate Slack instances are probably not a great place to discuss such things. One could in a pinch fire up one of the ssh chat daemons [1] on an EC2 assuming that most of the employees are familiar with using SSH. There is a demo documented in that git repo. People can ssh under a pseudonym rather than using a real name. The daemon uses private keys to track identity so make a new SSH key specific to that server. Not my repo but the maintainer is here on HN.

# append to ~/.ssh/config
# ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 2048 -N "" -C "chat" -f ~/.ssh/ssh-chat

What does it have to do with procurement rules? I was under the impression that it was just that the federal gov't won't pay salaries that are remotely competitive, so the only way they can get work done by competent people is by hiring a contractor who then pays market wages to a consultant.
> … this is just whataboutism.

"Whataboutism" is just pointing out you're applying a double standard. A rhetorical tool used since time immemorial.
There's a lot more than that they need to address. Fake job listings with rock bottom salaries so they can claim they can't find US workers, paying H1B people far below market value, job-shopping in personal networks when someone loses an H1B job (favor trading to get a "job" while they find another real job to keep their H1B status) are all huge issues. Another issue is employers using H2B status against employees to extract unpaid labor, lower wages, and unethical behavior or else they'll be fired and reported instantly.
