>I don't really get doing layoffs as soon as the acquisition finishes.

Planning layoffs is typically part of the M&A process, so when it completes, they typically already know who is going to be let go and drop the axe at that point.
My fridge has a door open alarm, and I wish it didn’t. I have yet to be like “wow, I’m so glad my fridge is beeping at me while I try to decide if I want chicken or taco leftovers”.
I clicked because I was excited to see the story of their unexpected interaction with the FCC and FAA (or local equivalents) due to putting out that much EM radiation in those spectra. But no. Still cool, though.
It’s clear that old school media _really_ does not like Musk or X and are doing anything they can to make him/them look bad.

But also, the more articles you write about “rocket man bad”, doesn’t it become more and more obvious what your bias is? It’s just a little on the nose at this point.

No wonder trust in old school media is at an all time low.
It's "foundational" in the sense that it gets 30M weekly `npm install`s which is up 500% from 4 years ago and growing. Js/Ts projects depend on it heavily.

I always wondered this as well. Apple Maps seems to be much better at this
I particularly like The Fifth Head of Cerberus and Dangerous Visions covers.
The article discusses different encodings of numbers to give non-dense representations of numbers exceeding (2^64)-1. (These representations are inherently non-dense by the pigeonhole principle.) But I feel like this is missing a key point. A 64-bit string that we agree represents only numbers can represent 18446744073709551616 different numbers. The choice of what numbers are represented is completely up to us. If we want certain properties (dense integers) we end up with the highest being 18446744073709551615. If we want other properties (nearly logarithmic distribution, signedness, and good mapping to hardware for arithmetic) we might end up with FP64 with a maximum value around 10^308. And if we want no interesting property constraints except being dual to a program on a Turing machine, we end up with a busy beaver number. But... remember, we can choose any 18446744073709551616 values we want to be representable. There's no restriction on the interpretation of these strings; or, equivalently, the amount of external information required to explain the interpretation of these strings is unbounded. As a result, we can choose any computable number to be encoded by the string 64'b1, or by any other string, and exceed any desired bounds.
Companies have pretty good metrics for "productivity", its just their overall performance: revenue, profit, cash flow and dept.

They could use that, but if they did, it would show that work from home isn't negatively affecting their performance, and they couldn't use it as an argument to irrationally force people back at the office.

People dispute this by asking: "But would we have made more profit if people worked in-office?"

And I think the reality is, no, the truth is, when you look at it, whatever impact to company performance remote vs in-office has is so minimal either way that you won't actually see it impact performance in a measurable way. So many other decisions you're taking matter more, that probably whatever allows you to attract and retain better talent and make them happy will actually have the most positive effect on your bottom line.
Meaningless question. If you allow arbitrary number formats you can just define 1 to be an arbitrarily large number.

Kinda sad that my self-hosted Raspberry Pi on consumer Internet, running cgit, stays up longer than GitHub.

This all seems so backwards to me.

I had cut my use of Twitter by probably >90% and uninstalled the app after they killed 3rd party clients, in a large part because that meant I was now seeing any ads at all.

I started paying for Premium+ and reinstalled the app once I realised it meant no ads, and am a regular user again now. I’d still rather be using Tweetbot but the “following” tab and ad-free is more than fine enough.

So really the ideal number of brands advertising on X is zero. I don’t care what big brands are doing, as long as they don’t do it anywhere near me.

If that means charging for a premium experience, or for businesses wanting to embed Tweets or analyse data, or whatever, instead of targeting innocent victims with advertising, great!

My complaint about X/Twitter remains that someone/some company/some government can still control who can post and what they can post. That control needs to be designed out entirely and replaced with safety tools that reduce the reach of objectionable content and allow people to collaborate over more restrictive blocklists to suit their sensibilities, without creating any point of control.
Are you familiar with the recent activities of the owner, chairman, and CTO of X? People may object to X without having any concerns about the content of X.

You moved the subject, not everybody cares about 'quality' of movies like movie buffs (like me) do.

Marvel is popcorn fun, sometimes better, sometimes worse. These are not even planned as some art-aspiring movies, so as long as expectations are managed everybody is fine, earnings at least says so and if you don't like whole genre then simply skip them.

Actually, snobbish bashing of Marvel became such a cheap 'look at me' desperate attention grab attempt of teenagers that I don't take it seriously. In same vein as globalization protesters focus on McDonald for some reason. You have endless line of say family movies that are absolute nauseating crap from cinematography, storytelling, character development etc., among other fails of hollywood, anybody wanting to be actually taken serious would start with those 'gems'.
Healthcare cost doesn't scale with the $200 base salary, though.
The people making the cutting decisions are also a removed from individual IC level visibility. These cuts are often done based on financial metrics per product line.

My roommates' dog is a half pit and he is extremely friendly and well behaved. It's true that pitbulls are more likely to have aggression problems but the rate compared to the base rate for dogs is not as different as you'd think.

Mine serves as a fun party trick. I never built this out but I always wanted to build a little display that shows the overhead plane's src/dest, speed, and altitude using the antenna.
One of the reasons I find so many ads annoying: the copy is complete shit. It's usually vapid, kitschy, cringy garbage. Most ads are like a Joss Wheadon show; formulaic, cookie-cutter "clever" that appeals to the simplest minds. Nobody talks like that in the real world.

It also usually feels like the creative process was supervised by a bunch of people who seem to think themselves a superior sort of human.
If they do something they would have to change the law as the Swedish system does not use Ministerial governance for individual cases like this.

So far only Tesla has been heard in court, Judge ordered temporary relief as Tesla argued that their business would be hurt short term, it's not a final decision. Workers at the factory are also part of a union, so they may refuse to hand any plates out.
It seems likely that restaurants don't know when their orders are being hijacked and serviced by surrogate ghost kitchens.
As with any language, developers who use SQL a lot do memorize it. Maybe not every bit of it but all the commonly used bits. I used to write SQL and PL/SQL every day at work and I got to the point where I rarely needed to consult the manual.
>But it’s not the same, and you’re not going to be able to construct some proof that requires I condemn those equally or else condemn neither, because that’s nonsense both in the specific terms of what we’re writing about, and also because it’s not a useful way to analyze or discuss these sorts of things in general.

I think it is useful when ideas about government regulation start coming in (like the poster who I responded to wrote). I do not want leaders to (completely) capriciously determine what is and is not allowed.
It's an awkward space - requiring us to pay them to put our profiles there is the main way to keep the content valuable/accurate.. but while that's fairly typical for hirers, it'd feel scammy to job-seekers.

I think there's room for such a service, but growing it into a viable model would be a real project, and probably not a distraction a business would want to take on except as a pivot.

Avi, the answer to your question is "no".
Short answer: anything that modifies the DOM, followed by a call which measures geometric properties of the DOM. Also you get an automatic reflow/repaint when control leaves the Javascript event handler that triggers a modification (this is how the browser's UI is updated). You can batch up a bunch of modifications without triggering a reflow and then have it account for all of them on next reflow, though, which is what React tries to achieve with the Virtual DOM and what you get for free after ~2013.

Slightly longer answers:

[modifies] https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/browser-re...

[measures] https://gist.github.com/paulirish/5d52fb081b3570c81e3a

Also there's a bunch of exceptions where you can modify things without triggering a full reflow. Anything that takes elements out of normal flow (position: fixed, position: absolute, float:, overflow: hidden) creates a layout boundary where changes inside only reflow the containing element. Any element with a transform: or opacity: property gets rendered as a 2D texture on the GPU, and then you can do subsequent transform/opacity animations purely on the GPU without touching the CPU. Used to do this to make performant animations on mobile devices.

This isn't Wikipedia. It's a casual internet forum, and you don't need someone to come armed with mountains of proof for casual (and obvious) statements.

Sure, you can avoid it, but it's nice to be able to discover new restaurants you may enjoy without fear of being duped by a ghost kitchen in a restaurant you know you don't enjoy. There are over 1200 restaurants that doordash will deliver to me in NYC(UWS), it would be nice to be able to sample from them, without doing some google snooping for every restaurant you consider.
You can also buy USB DVD-ROM drives for $15 or so, then rip. I'm in the middle of doing that to my DVD collection.

Just because they can, doesn't mean they should; how many comments in your code reviews are about code style?

In mine, it used to be... at least half, because I was anal about code style and consistency and all we had at the time was ESLint, which only did partial code stile.

Nowadays, it's none. If you need to worry about code style in code reviews, use a tool.

Are you seriously arguing that what the federal government is going into debt to do is "good debt" rather than "bad debt"? They're going (further) into debt to fund continuing operations, not just for infrastructure investments.

Also, there may be some good (convincing) MMT textbooks out there. There are also a much larger number of good non-MMT textbooks out there. Why should we believe the MMT ones rather than the more-generally-accepted non-MMT ones? "This opinion exists and has been clearly explained" does not imply we should either believe it or put it into practice.
This is also a problem with IIRC the Acela and other Amtrak routes between Boston and New York, and probably on other routes too.
IEEE754 64-bit representation already has infinity:

uint64_t x = 0x7ff0000000000000ULL;
printf("%f\n", *(double *)&x);

output:

But you could use a representation where 0 is 0, and 1 is infinity, saving 63 bits...
Consumer rights have taken a huge hit with digital distribution. For example, it's not possible to resell most "digital goods" as you could with physical media. Losing access to stuff you paid for with no recourse is another example.

It's closer to a rental than a "purchase".
My time would be better spent working on a project instead of explaining to my father’s girlfriend’s son how to solve whatever problem he’s having with the software.

Recruiters and employers have a budget to spend on job ads.

Often what happens with there job boards is they start with "no recruiters!", then they move to "no recruiters, unless you say full details of the job", then they realise just how much money recruiters have in the budget to spend on job ads (it's alot), and they give up the principles and happily take the recruiter cash.

Amazon in my area hires like this (and this is not paraphrasing, but actual quote):

I realize it's partly orthogonal to the concept of training, but also applicable. Cogs in the machine, indeed.
that's mostly really dumb, but I can see the reasoning. opening a fridge takes energy since it temporarily lets warm air in. theoretically, a fridge with a camera might save energy, but in practice, the difference is probably pretty miniscule

There is no need to use anything but filter, like

No, it's a question, "does array x include object y?" `x.include?(y)`

310-1101 - they are cylindrical. I used to get the similar 310-1008 but I can't find them anymore.

Other earplugs would want to expand too much and make my ears sore, or would have the wrong material and sort of adhere to my ear canal, or be comfortable but not quiet.

> as long as your style is consistent, very few people actually care what that style is.

This is an oft-repeated myth. There are some style rules for which that is true, but for some, there are objective, logical reasons to prefer one style over the other.

For example, mandating the optional comma after the last time in a list whose items has been split over multiple times results in more readable and logical patches: if you mandate the comma, a patch that only adds items will only have added lines, whereas if you don't, a patch adding items can have a mix of add/remove lines.

Pushing operators to the subsequent line makes it fundamentally easier to read as they all align, vs. a ragged right edge, and this is doubly important if the operators aren't the same, as it makes that far more visible. (Though this is harder in some languages with odd behavior around this, such as JavaScript.) (This also affects patch readability in many languages, and in fact, I'd say patch readability is the driver of many objective reasons behind styling choices.)

And so forth. I'd wager as many rules have logical reasons backing them as those that actually do boil down to literally just stylistic decisions.

Chopping the Monolith in a Smarter Way
Your “at least half the words” requirement is an strong English bias. I suspect no language is highly irregular by that requirement.

In many languages though, the irregulars are at single digit percentage - sometimes even zero.

And there are easily some that are not part of a pattern: “colonel” (pronounced “kernel”). American “herbal” (pronounced “erbal”), autophagy (with the emphasis on “to”, unlike any other word that starts with “auto”).

And there are ambiguous ones which in fact fit multiple patterns - e.g. “route”, british more like “flute”, American like “house”. Not to mention to-mate-o to-ma-to and either. And injured vs insured.

I don’t think anyone whose first language is regular (like German, or Japanese) would agree with your claim that English is not highly irregular.

If you need an order of magnitude more patterns to properly pronounce words (and you do) it’s a difference in quality, not just quantity.
