This is a direct consequence of the infamous Microsoft case. Contractors used to be treated much better, similar to employees. Then some Microsoft contractors sued for shares worth a considerable amount. Their argument was that they were "treated like employees", and therefore deserve the same things as employees. They won the lawsuit.

Now contractors have to be treated much worse because there is precedent for legal consequences if you treat them as well as your employees. It's just business, it's certainly not good for morale or productivity to create a class divide, but not creating that divide incurs serious liabilities.
I agree entirely. PragmataPro is my daily driver, and anything else feels way too expansive.

Default Iosevka is close, but the leading is much larger. Luckily you can customize it to be almost identical (set `leading = 1110` in the config; value obtained by trial and error).
Worth noting that the bicycle infrastructure in Cambridge, Somerville, and the adjoining parts of Boston has also skyrocketed in quality relative to its pre-pandemic state, it's extremely heartening to see. I don't take the T much anymore just because it's so easy to bike anywhere that I need to go. Shout out to the new path parallel to the green line extension, which makes it feasible to get from downtown to Somerville (and out to the Minuteman and 20 miles beyond!) without needing to navigate that viaduct and nightmare highway overpass east of Union.
Do these high performers also cast their colleagues with tasteful adjectives such as "abject"? Must be a bunch of very interesting people indeed.

I have a 30 Watt diode laser that came without any safety measures at all. It kind of surprised me that you could just fire it with a G-code and absolutely nothing stood between you and the beam. It cuts wood like butter though, up to 20 mm in a single pass (solid wood, not birch ply) and I'm super happy with it but that tool is going to go through some serious modifications to make it safe. It can set just about anything on fire fair distance away and will fry your eyeballs from half a kilometer if not more. Any idiot with a few bucks to spare can go and order one and they have absolutely no clue about the kind of damage a machine like that can do. It looks so innocent, it's completely deceptive.

I’m somewhat surprised a WikiObituary doesn’t exist yet, with them collectively written and crowdsourced prior to death and licensed permissively. Wikipedia + ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting perhaps for the rough cut, and then clean it up.

Anecdotally, I play recent 3d games on an ultrawide (not quite 4k but significantly higher res than 1080p). It's 3440x1440 pixels with a 144 Hz refresh. On a 4080 and ultra settings, most games can't get there. Thankfully DLSS makes it a lot better.

(Using geforce now on a MacBook hooked up to an external monitor).

BG3 is very smooth. Cities Skylines 2 stutters. Starfield was okay. Talos Principle 2 is laggy. Cyberpunk is laggy.

Normally I don't care about graphics all that much, so I'll usually turn the details down to medium or even low. But these days DLSS is so good that's less necessary.

IMO it would be good to familiarize yourself with the rust quirks/features (check out the rust book) and then poke at some of the embedded specific groups. Once you get a handle on the common types and patterns it's probably easier to find the information you're looking for, e.g.:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46213

In general Rust chases a "zero cost abstraction" ethos, so a lot of the type system niceties have no code or memory cost because the heavy lifting is done at compile time, not run time. For instance using specific traits for each GPIO pin ensures you won't accidentally apply some meaning meant for another pin, but the compiler will compile it right down to integers anyhow.

Things like options (how Rust deals with "null" values) are enums and usually incur a one byte penalty, but in some cases they can be compiled down to no overhead at all.
And all of the research confirms women likes muscular men more than skinny men. Good job ignoring all the evidence.

According to this comment, it had 30 moderators in 2010 when it was a lot smaller:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1837288

It's source page gives a 404 "not found" error.

The current official mod in charge pretty consistently says "no moderators did x."

This handle of mine only dates to 2017, but I originally joined in 2009, so I have no idea how long you have been hanging here, but I would be really shocked if they needed 30 moderators in 2010 and now have literally one guy doing all the moderation work by himself entirely.

I also doubt that people really in the know are posting here with "insider" info that wasn't cleared by staff.

It's not my business. I don't feel they need to tell me such info. But I have no reason to believe your uncited assertion that you can say X "with confidence" is reliable info of any sort.
No one cares. Just don't use them.
In this case yes, but I would double check the PostScript name because I believe that naming convention is not a hard requirement.
This isn't solved by high deductible health plans, because they just kick the can down the road by letting customers self-segregate into different risk profiles.

- Young with no health issues? HDHP.

- Suddenly get sick or are older with medical needs? Wait until next year's open enrollment and switch to a higher tier plan.

Guess which risk pool has to pay out more in claims (against a neutral population average). And therefore has to increase premiums.

The issue is that we should categorically ban non-catastrophic health insurance.

Everyone gets an order-of-magnitude yearly disposable income * 2 deductible plan.

Everything else is out of pocket.

Surprise! Suddenly discount options appear. Suddenly hospitals are competing on price. Etc.

States like california have a comparable (if not higher) minimum wage and require the servers to be paid at least the minimum.

Some people immigrate for purely economic reasons, others immigrate because they prefer the lifestyle and culture in the host country. The ones that always see their home country as their home, where they will end up, are in the first group. They're only immigrating for the $$$.
I'm for doing away with the practice. Not all states have a lower tipped wage. But we are still culturally expected to tip.

> It isn't a thankless job

What experience do you have working this kind of job / interfacing with people who work these kinds of jobs?

More often than not in my experience, they are extremely miserable/unhappy (probably as a result of making less than $40k/yr). They don't have the skillsets/education/opportunities to get ahead. Customers constantly yell at them.

Telling them "be happy for what you have/how much you make" is sort of kind of like... not well received?

> It's a different argument if they're not getting paid enough

There's no easy solution. Most businesses run on like a 10-30% net margin if not lower. Payroll is a fixed portion of that.

We already have an "inflation" problem and giving everybody $5/hr raises isn't going to fix anything.
I think the "99" in LK-99 refers to the year it was first created by the authors of the paper. Were they under the impression that it was a superconductor for the past 24 years, and only found it it was bogus because it attracted worldwide attention this year? If so, that seems strange.

I can see how one might make this compound, do some tests on it, and think "oh it's a superconductor" for a few months, but then surely they would do more tests to explore its properties and discover it's not a superconductor. Did they remain deliberately ignorant for 24 years?
I've noticed this in Auckland for many years, in tourist 'prone' places, but never in person - it's always on the eftpos machine. I haven't noticed it getting either better or worse. I always refuse - and tell people that "we don't want tipping to become established here."
Those are two different things. Men's schlongs are not csam and you can run into enough of those things on other sites like reddit or a dating site.

I did find that lots of people who disliked it, mainly just got put off by the overall tone and the provocative statements from the get go.

Freedom of speech implies the freedom to choose what speech one associates with and allows. It doesn't mean a platform is forced to allow all possible speech without moderation - that isn't freedom, it's coercion. And it wouldn't even be legal on whatever "public platforms" you're talking about.

If you're looking for absolute, unfettered fuck-the-law freedom you're not going to find it on the open web. No administrator is going to be willing to take the bullet for you.

How good is proficient? I just use a QWERTY keyword and my max is 143wpm, usually stable around 115wpm and after 10+ minutes of typing slows down to 100WPM. Is that proficient enough? Because I know of people who type at 200-300 WPM with their custom keyboards

After fairly lonely exploration initially, seeing all the bases at the center of the galaxy (nearly 100 hours later) was a unique experience. Kind of like thinking you’re the last person on Earth and then stumbling upon other people.

It’s a fun game, but definitely much more breadth than depth. Still greatly enjoyed the exploration, especially when playing coop.

It's certainly possible, I've managed to make the game run playably on a base model 2019 macbook, but that was completely vanilla on the lowest settings I could manage. Beat Saber (especially with mods) can get pretty damn hard to run (it often lags pretty badly on my 3700X/RTX 3070), especially if you're playing noodle maps or with high poly custom sabres.

I haven't tried it but I expect you'd have a very bad time running a quest due to the encoding step, and also probably wouldn't have fun on anything newer than a vive/cv1 because the resolution is too high.
Yeah, very little of the things they've done since launch have fixed the obnoxiously repetitive core gameplay loop. And everything except the procedural planet gen is literal copy-and-paste.

How about, for the next update, they add tons and tons of new buildings, POI, and activities? Maybe a bit more variety to the enemies? Or maybe a bit of lorebuilding on why nearly every fucking planet in the universe is populated by the mechanized equivalent of PETA? (Like, seriously, there has to be at least one core world producing these things, and the energy requirements for universe-scale manufacturing would be literally off-the-charts.... hmm it would be cool to visit a hostile alien dyson sphere... where are the transports and logistics supplying them?)

This thread was an eye-opener for me. The sad part is that waiters aren't doing as bad as I imagined (at least on that thread), but cooks are. And you cannot tip the cooks.

So, if we stop with the tipping culture and the menu items prices increase, the problem would be solved also for the cooks that will finally make more.

Linear conversation is a big problem for anything beyond simple, casual usage. It is the reason that YouTube is a terrible research platform. Is the information you want inside that 3-hour video? Possibly, but with text I can search an article for content or skim sections to determine if it's worth a deeper read.

Let's not forget the value of non-linear input. Good search terms are often constructed rather than spilled forth. Sometimes I enter search terms, read it and realize that it's like to return unrelated results and need to modify it. By the time I realize this while speaking to an AI it's already spitting out the wrong information.

This leads to a need for altered interfaces that allow these scenarios to be accomodated. This is v1.0. Let's see where it goes.

You are responding to a stance no one has. Certainly not in this comment thread.

You left out the part where I provided examples of private spaces that implicitly act as public spaces and set expectations either directly or through social norms.

You have a very reasonable expectation of not having someone slap their junk on the table at a coffee shop. That is a physical, public space that was designed and advertised as serving coffee and literally nothing else. It is not social norms or customs to have such an act thrust upon you, and most people would reasonably find it offensive for many different reasons including health hazards.

If you went to a strip club, order a steak, are you going to complain when something similar happens? I hope not, because that would not be a reasonable expectation to have.

Omegle set the expectation upfront that largely, anything goes when you interact with strangers. That was always the case. That was the expectation. That was the point of the site.
Not to sound rude, but that's an incredibly obnoxious take. Async communication is one of the biggest features of remote work, not a bug, and you decide to get irritated because not everyone likes to communicate exactly the way you do? Please.
Performance and transparency to the underlying system.

Int would be whatever the instruction set of the platform supports by default for most of its arithmetic and memory operations.

C would be sitting a layer above assembly but not try to hide what is going on behind the scene I guess.

Much later on languages like java would bring the concept of virtual machines where the types are unified across different instructions set.
