> Headline states 'mass exodus', article names three known companies that never actually moved to Austin (...)

I'm not sure which article you read, but the one linked to in this discussion mentions:

* VMWare laying off 577 employees in Austin,

* startup founders, like Techstars Managing Director Amos Schwartzfarb, announcing their decisions to leave Austin,

* Meta dropping plans to move to Austin,

* Google freezing plans to move to Austin, in spite of already paying rent.

* TikTok not establishing plans to move to Austin in spite of already leasing office space,

* Don Ward, the CEO of Laundris, announced he would be relocating his company to Tulsa,

* Cart announced it was moving its headquarters out of Austin back to Houston, after spending little over 2 years.

The article is solid journalism. It's a summary of individual news pieces which is tied together by observations from leaders of established companies over their decisions and economic forecasts.

Why do you think we have developed that culture? In my case it's because I know two people who have worked for the government or deal with it daily for their job, and they have told me that. And their low opinion of government is corroborated by my one experience dealing with the government.

None of this was with ATC, but my point is that this attitude you complain about is just a reflection of reality.

SSDs don't cycle blocks based on how much you've written. You can write over the entire reported capacity of a drive 100 times and there's still the chance, however small, that your encryption key and some encrypted data are still sitting around on some chip. You just can't guarantee that it's gone. For all you know, the controller has marked them as bad and isn't going to reuse them, even though there's still recoverable data on them. Since there's no way to reach them through the drive interface, there's also no way to erase them. But if someone opened up the drive and pulled the chips, there they would be.

> There is no Biblical evidence for the Sabbath being moved to Sunday and recognized as "The Lord's Day" or a commemoration of Christ's resurrection. That "move" was an edict of the Roman Emperor Constantine.

Fist: just because it is not in Bible does not make it an invalid practice. The canonical form of the (Christian) Bible wasn't 'officially' established until some time into the history of Christianity (Council of Rome), and to a certain extent it was formalizing what was already accepted practice since the beginning of the faith (as mentioned in the Didache). And if you want to argue sola scriptura, good luck.

Second: we have records for Sunday worship from First Apology of Justin Martyr (100-165 AD), amongst others. A few centuries before Constantine.

Two main reasons:

1. It has a ridiculous learning curve to get to the same editing proficiency as just having multiple cursors. All Vim users imagine themselves to be editing text at the speed of light while users of "lesser" editors struggle with scalar editing. I have seen zero evidence of that. Anyone of my colleagues that use Vim struggle to do basic tasks because remembering the gazillions of mnemonics is too onerous. Meanwhile I can do anything I want very quickly in VSCode, and with immediate feedback!

2. It infests Unix by being the default editor in many situations (Git commit editing is probably the worst offender). Fine if you want to use your weird editor, but it should 100% not be the default editor EVER. There's a reason exiting Vim is a meme.
PhD thesis are overrated.

People create some kind of life achievement monument where they seek to summarize the world knowledge and yet nobody is going to read the document. Same for MSc thesis.

What matters (to a point) are your papers and it should be enough to just gather the in a file, add a conclusion and call it a day. We have this in France and some people use the opportunity.

My PhD thesis (physics) was 45 pages long. The expected number of pages was about 200 or 300, a friend of mine wrote two tomes.

The introduction was basically "if you do not know about the topic you should probably to read this thesis anyway but if you really want to, here are some books you can use". 2 lines, introduction done.

The main part was mostly copy/paste from my articles.

The conclusion was that the results were great and groundbreaking.

I added a special section called (I think) "Is this thesis really useful, a discussion with the author" - where I pointed out everything wrong with what I did and where to go further. 75% of the reviewers loved it (less work for them) and 25% were wrong :)

Finally, the acknowledgments were thanking my thesis director profusely (he did not help me much in the research part but eased considerably (considerably) my life and helped me to navigate the muddy waters of Academia), a fried who during a dinner gave me an idea that changed the whole thesis, my wife, my parents and my dog.

The defense was epic (3 hours instead o the expected 45 minutes) because some people decided to manage their political battles there. I was switching between grabbing the popcorn and mopping my forehead when some questions out of the end of the universe were asked (one of them was asked by the dept asshole in residence (AIR) and I understood all the words, but not put together in one sentence (nothing to do with my topic). The president of the jury waited for me to answer, I mumbled something, he said that this was disappointing and asked the AIR to answer. He said that he has no idea but thought I may.)

I will go one day to my dept (I left academia in the meantime) and ask if someone has ever borrowed the thesis (it exists only in one copy).
As someone who has built and sold an original software startup in Serbia, and has followed the evolution of the local tech scene in the Balkans over the last decade pretty closely, the one thing the region absolutely needs more of is this kind of positive press.

While there's been a fair bit written about the growth of the "IT Sector"[0] there, for the longest time that sector was mostly made up of outsourcers and body shops (as opposed to product-centric, funded original startups). As that outsourcing workforce has matured, I've started to notice an increasing number of individuals at the top end of the talent spectrum that have become too experienced/expensive to be considered 'profitable resources' for those outsourcing companies (i.e. their salaries have grown to be too high compared to the daily rate they're sold at while demand for them has fallen away as companies seeking staff augmentation already tend to depend on their own senior technical leadership).

What this means is that we're going to see more experienced, highly skilled technical experts in reasonably well-off financial positions start to ask themselves what they could do next, and what I'm hoping happens is that the more original success stories we evangelise - the more we publicise the Infobips and the Rimacs - the more likely it is that those experts will choose to develop their original idea and seek funding.

TL;DR The talent is absolutely there and growing, they just need encouragement.

Ask HN: Anyone Interested in Taking over Jsweet.org?
Hello HN community. JSweet.org creator/maintainer here. Being an individual and having other projects right now, I don't have much time to maintain JSweet anymore.

I would be grateful for any suggestion.
Obviously the only possible solution is to attempt another fork/reimplementation of emacs. This one will definitely win and not be totally irrelevant like all the others.
My question too. Having lived in Seattle it seems like every time tech boomed there were stories about it becoming the next SV and every time there was a general tech recession there were stories about how it had failed to become the next SV. This article seems very anecdotal and some of the anecdotes contradict each other: Austin has become too crowded and expensive, so companies are moving back to California; Austin doesn’t have a big enough “scene”, so one company is moving to Tulsa?
It's quite amazing the lengths to which the NYT is going in this article to legitimize the absurd notion that there is widespread antisemitism on American college campuses, and that criticism of Israel is antisemitic as such. For example:

> “If you don’t think that Israel has a right to exist, that is antisemitic,” said Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, who suggested she would seek to impose new federal rules around anti-Israel statements if elected president. “We will change the definition so that every government, every school, has to acknowledge the definition for what it is.”

...

Last week, while Ms. Haley attacked antisemitism on the Republican stage ...

So, the article subtly but explicitly endorses the idea that Ms. Haley's advocacy for criminalization of opposition to the establishment of an ethnostate is equivalent to "attacking antisemitism."

> I’m not sure that it is possible to design a perfect city.

Oh I don't think it has to be perfect. I think current US cities are like a 1 or 2 out of 10, and a new city from scratch could be a 5 or 6.

If you did good massive transport, walkable, dedicate beautiful areas (parks), enough traditional stoneface buildings, a way to automatically clean the streets like Paris has, a plan around safety/cleanliness/homelessness, a way to replace pipes without sawing through pavement, you'd be better than any current city.

While you're at it though, why not invite famous artists to designate certain areas to each have a unique architectural style and commission sculptures and architectural ideas every few blocks?

I don't know why anyone would rely on a payment processor that seems incapable of taking credit card payments for their own service.

As in this case it's being used as a backup provider, you're not likely to know how well they'll handle processing if your primary provider has issues. Given that this happened, I would question the wisdom of remaining with them?

Chances are good it'll last long enough for people to become sterilized (or worse) due to an inability to get an abortion. That ought to be enough reason to avoid the state, especially when there are states where these sorts of laws would never even be considered.

> It'll affect linear entertainment far before it impacts games seriously

Maybe. But I think you make the mistake of considering games that combine existung AAA features + AI as where it will first impact games, where I think it will first make its mark in games that don’t use hardware heavily for 3d rendering by opening up new modes of gaming.

> novels will be rapidly replaced by visual novels. The cost of having a novel fully illustrated and voiced will go down 1000x.

The cost if having art made isn't the only reason novels aren't fully illustrated now, and AI doesn't impact any of the others.

I was assuming there was a way to configure a button that would toggle the stick between left and right, since most games I've played don't require using both at once.[1] I don't see a conclusive answer in their online docs, though, and looking at the layout and parts, I don't see a tag or other way to assign that hypothetical function.

It would be unfortunate if sending right stick messages really does require buying a whole separate controller. The rest of the product seems almost unbelievably thoughtful and well-designed.

Regardless, hopefully they used Hall effect sensors for the stick this time, because drift is frustrating enough on a regular PS5 controller. Imagine having to buy a whole new Access Controller every time you fail your saving throw on stick drift.

Here's my understanding so far:

In the upstream Linux kernel there were two fixes posted months from each other, one for direct io [0] and the other one for ext4 [1]. The ext4 one was marked for backport to stable (CC: stable@vger.kernel.org), the other was not. The problem is that these commits depend on each other for things to work properly. If you have both, you're fine. If you have only the backported one, you have a problem.

Which versions are affected? We know for sure that 6.1.64 is affected, 6.1.55 is not (because it doesn't have the commit). As of right now, 6.1.64 is still marked as "stable" in Debian [2] but if you actually try to install it from the official mirrors (deb.debian.org), you will get error 403. The fix is included in version 6.1.66 which will soon be available.

The issue seems to be only highlighted in the context of Debian but it is not specific to it. The issue is/was in the official upstream release.
