Good point. They've been very successful with the Falcon 9. You'd think they have things like structural integrity, boost-back maneuvering, and how not to blow up figured out by now, but apparently SpaceX has different engineers working on Starship. At least the Raptor engine seems to work well. If it doesn't get concrete and rebar in it, and the fuel and oxidizer don't leak from the tanks. Aside from that, I consider the Raptor pretty darn impressive.
Usually it's a scam, and for the exact reason you gave for taking less time than in previous jobs.

It's one of those things that sounds great, but in practice kind of sucks. If you took PTO every day, that's obviously abusing the system, and so is taking 6 months off, and so is taking 2, etc. The ambiguity makes people not take advantage of the policy because of worries about how it'll be perceived. Plus, other people also don't take PTO, so the collective pressure is self-reinforcing.
I also prefer NewPipe for longer videos, especially ones I only need audio for. I share to it from the Youtube app typically, which has been getting more and more annoying (from one tap to 3 right now).
The latter is definitely on OpenAIs radar. They're even hiring specifically for this problem: https://openai.com/careers/research-scientist-superalignment
Reference opening time to local time on each day of the year, and then refer that back to UTC.

Like California is -8 in Standard, -7 in Daylight, so a 9:30 AM opening in the Winter is at 17:30 UTC, in the Summer, 16:30 UTC.

It's a hassle but programmers are supposed to model reality.

As an example of the problems that can arise, I remember when the new Japanese Emperor was to take office upon his father's abdication, there was a big fuss because the Era Name was customarily only revealed after the new Emperor's reign started but all the computer people wanted to be ready in advance. Not sure what finally happened, if it was revealed in advance or not.

Hydrogen has many downsides compared to batteries, it will never displace BEVs for most regular cars. Perhaps it can make sense for some applications but it will never destroy the entire EV industry. Not even close.
They aren't for me either!!

These things can be done from home or a remote location, what was the point of forcing them to come into the office in the first place, none.
Isn't it more likely that OpenAI board had learned about something? Like that new AI chip venture that was mentioned in the recent news a few times?

Heh well actually I made the font for my own use.

Some others have liked it, others have critized features of it, like the italics and the ligatures. (Features one can easily disable in most sane editors, I might add).

I’ve been using it daily ever since I made it, and I like to believe it makes me effective and happy.

No one should obviously pick a font which is hard to read for them of slows them down. This font doesn’t do that for me personally. If it does that for you, yes, you should probably pick a font where legibility has been the sole focus. (Dyslexia fonts for programming, maybe?)
Thanks for sharing those gotchas. I’ll be keeping them in mind when adding our domain. Thankfully we’ve utilized start.page as a separate domain to only host the pages. This does mean that we should be able to add ourselves to the PSL without too much fuss once we’ve got the basics in place.
that's just flawed logic. eventually, everyone will catch up regardless.
Beautiful website (mobile). Beautiful font. Although I must agree that it’s not as legible as Fira or Ubuntu in an editor, I would certainly consider this font for aesthetic purposes for presentation, etc. It looks fantastic on your site.

Easy for you to say, given that you actually got a job. That's how these labor restrictions work: they're nice if you can find a job, but they create an underclass of people who can't find one.
ARPANET dates to 1966. You could have said the same thing in 1981: So when is all this stuff going to happen? Every time someone comes up with a criticism the solution will come later because it’s “early days”.

Should we have given up on the internet by 1981 then?

Sometimes new technology takes a few (human) generations to take off. I know everyone wants instant gratification these days, but try to be patient.

Tangentially related, but there is pretty strong evidence that having some types of gut parasites is actually largely a benefit due to the way they modify our immune responses.

I've been programming 20 years and I use one of these combined sans/cursive font setups. I like less legibility for certain parts of the code - like keywords/decorators that I can recognize instantly but want to skip reading/parsing when I want, for instance, to just read function names in collapsed code. I typically set stuff like this to a color closer to the BG too.

This question was recently asked at a company meeting when they said they were increasing the number of days in the office.

The response was it "wouldn't be fair".

Which I thought was an interesting response, as it at least demonstrates they have some awareness that the move back to office isn't popular.
> I'm generally pretty supportive of new typefaces

I guess I am in the abstract, but... no, I guess I'm more "bewildered" by new typefaces. Especially mono fonts targetted at source code display.

I mean, this world just doesn't have elaborate requirements. And it was solved, like, dead-on-done-to-perfection with the open source release of Bitstream Vera two decades ago. I haven't wanted a new font since. Frankly I can barely tell the difference between most of them (not this one though -- yikes, that cursive thing is weird). I mean, why?

Why not spend your font design hours making something for general text that people might notice. Hackers are poor discriminators and frankly very well served already.

I think Terraform Cloud (and most Hashi's enterprise offerings) aim at absolutel behemoths of deployments with many, many infra teams where the complexity comes from scale and the companies are not Google or Facebook and therefore this problem can't be solved through talent. For many such enterprises it's easier to throw money at the problem.

While I understand the Indian University sentiment here, there are many other opportunities for learning AND promoting yourself at the same time. For example, contributing to open-source software (especially software that is used by corporations) is a classic route for a reason.
There's basic sanity checking on subtitles. The main one is that they have a very slow maximum throughput, so you can encode far less info in subs than the video itself.

> I doubt any non-impaired person will seriously lose to a cat.

Cat bites are extremely nasty, cat nails should be classified as concealed weapons. Until you've seen what a mad cat can do to a human being I think you should simply reserve judgment. The guy I'm talking about was about as 'non-impaired' as it gets and the cat came off without a scratch. For the guy it was a hospital visit, multiple stitches and antibiotics. I'm also fairly sure he gained a healthy respect for cats.

Dog bites happen more frequently and can easily be fatal. But cat bites, and scratches even if they aren't fatal can cause really bad infections. Cats can shred you pretty badly, enough to get you to consider leaving the cat alone or finding some other way to get it to do what you want it to do other than main force.

If a cat attacks you make sure you protect your face and treat bites and scratches immediately with a strong anti-septic and if anything happens to the wounds that you don't trust visit a doctor.

The only case where being in office is better for Juniors is when the organization is dysfunctional and doesn't know how to properly do remote.

I absolutely have worked in companies where my onboarding was such a mess that the only solution for me was doing hybrid. They sucked at remote work and if you were not in the office you were not seen.

My first Junior job was in a remote-first company and it was an absolute non issue and I don't think being in office would have helped in any form.

The difference is, with remote work you need to have processes in place. You can't just stuff people in an office and hope for the best. You need a mentoring program. You need to encourage pair programming. You need to build digital spaces where socialization can happen and people can just hang out.

> people who just cannot wfh effectively

Yeah but don't forget that for many people with special needs, WFH can be a huge blessing and allow them to work in the first place.

And yes, some people thrive more in a hybrid environment. Though often it because their home situation is non conducive for work, lacking space, too many distraction and so on. I think co-working spaces can be a great solution for that.

The best thing is to go out in the sun and soak in the required D. Shortcuts like vitamin pills will always have side effects.

This train has passed. Sort of like crypto/crypto. Open source functionally means source available; the rigid definition remains free software.
Lots of platforms have a maximum file share size.

For instance, if you want to post a video to Discord, you have a ~50MB cap unless you pay like $10/mo

I use Handbrake to compress videos over that cap. I could post it to YouTube but I don't want to clutter up my account with hundreds of 20-30 second uploads.

Wow! I have a lot of memories and nostalgia with Flash. I started when a colleague kinda forced me to do Flash (I think version 4), where I stumbled on ASFunction, which changed the whole game.

You must mean should be, since we have decades of evidence to the contrary.
If you look at the effective inheritance tax rate (ie tax paid on actual money flow from dead people to inheritors), even the top 0.1% of all inheritance is around a 10% rate. See figure 2 in https://www.cae-eco.fr/staticfiles/pdf/cae-note069s.pdf. Note the the nominal tax rate is around 30% - the difference is because a lot of stuff is not taxed, or partially taxed.

I think the issue is that French inheritance taxation has both a very high facial rate and massive amounts of exemptions / loopholes. People that think they can grok the fiscal system in a few minutes look at the high nominal rates , not the loopholes.

This! This is so infuriating. Now i guess most major city have some poorly secured db that contains all the time/place points where every user of mass transit has checked in/out. I'm not exactly sure what is the strong push for this, is it lobbying by vendors to get access to this data? In any case most of the time it's marketed as somehow "green" (because you understand, replacing paper with microelectronics is really the way to go).
List comprehensions aren't very functional. A functional language would use higher-level functions like map and filter which JS absolutely has.

One thing I always miss in languages like Python and JS is the identity function. I don't how people are writing all this functional code without it.
They ask because then they bring some of that stuff into an office and then claim the office is better than WFH.

For example: One of the biggest things people pointed out at my current job was the long commute/gas money. So company offered to recompensate gas for anyone up to 50 miles or something and claimed now there was no reason to complain anymore... which is obviously untrue.

I've seen this at 2 of the companies I've recently worked for where they do silly polls as to why people prefer WFH, make some small tweaks to the office that still come nowhere close to the convenience of being remote, and then claim there's no longer a reason to WFH anymore since they have made the office more preferable.

Most people who are remote will never want to go back to an office, regardless of what happens.
It's the usual divide between people who actually know how databases work, and hence want to do more stuff there (because it will likely be faster and more robust); and people who don't know (and don't want to know) anything about databases, and hence would rather use them as dumb stores of basic data.

I've been in each camp at one time or another, since being db-agnostic makes sense in some cases (libraries, products) and not in others (websites, services).
Can anyone ELI5 why Handbrake says they can't implement a "target file size" option?

I use an Android video compressor that does this fairly well. But on the FR for this on the Handbrake GH one of the maintainers says it's not really feasible.
It never really swings back the other way. It slows down adoption but we’ll never see large back-in-house IT projects. Because in-house offerings (and open-source) aren’t up to the task anymore.

This sort of thing has not been at all uncommon for Google over the past few years. I’m looking forward to the day when they no longer have this level of power to make or break tiny companies. With any luck, they will either stumble with LLMs and become irrelevant or emerge as only one of several companies and be forced out of their monopoly.

It's also the logic of nuclear weapons and MAD.
One side-effect of the WFH period for us (and I assume a number of other EU companies) is that once we went WFH, we also went remote; previously we had two offices and everyone worked in one of those two cities and today we have (IIRC) five and people work all over the country and take rail into the nearest office when necessary.

This has... mostly worked out OK. In any given office there's some spaces dedicated for the people who work there regularly, at least a room or two with a half dozen seats for hotdesking, but then - three dedicated, closed-door single-person offices exclusively for the executives, who of course never show up outside their home office (if even there).

Numpy and pandas are their own little island. It's not just dates and time, it's everything.

If you use numpy and pandas, you should also not use Python datetime, generators, most stdlib mathematical functions, the itertools module, random, etc.

It's the first thing you learn if you read any good pandas book, and the first thing I teach in my numpy/pandas trainings.

It has pretty much nothing to do with pendulum.

Basically, half the Python ecosystem is "well, except with numpy/pandas of course".
