A victory for what has traditionally been the strongest unions in the country does not mean blue collar workers overall "won."

11% of the workers in the US are in a union and the rate has been at 10%-ish for years. In the 1960's that was 30%. In Regan's time that was 20% (I mention Regan because of the controller strikes - and guess where we stand with air traffic controllers right now...they're being worked to the bone.)

We still have healthcare tied to employment which serves only to keep people terrified of losing their job because it could mean losing their healthcare and an interruption in treatment / medications for which interruptions are dangerous.

We still require an insanely complex and lengthy process for a bunch of workers to be "recognized" by the government and afforded protection during organized actions, a process that employers can drag out endlessly to bleed the worker's union dry of funds on lawyers, as well as tie up NPOs who could be working to help form new unions or assist others in legal actions against employers.

This year the Supreme Court weakened the federal "right to strike" law, making workers/unions liable for employer losses: https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-rules-again...

Biden sold out hard on railway workers trying to strike against all the effects of private-equity-driven Precision Scheduled Railroading which treats human beings like meat robots, led to dramatically increased derailments, and the very long trains have paralyzed entire communities by tying up railroad crossings or bisecting entire towns for hours if not a day or more.

The list goes on. Billionares are working as hard as they can to turn us all into servants to provide them services. Bezos was at the White House spouting to Obama about this very thing, and he made the mistake of doing it in front of Jon Stewart: https://youtu.be/Vewz1v4rQYg?t=117
I find the results of that famous case completely insane. A "thumbs up" emoji doesn't always mean "I read the contract and I herby sign it", it's often a lazy answer for "I read your last message with your request and will tend to it when I have the time and will get back to you later with my final answer".
The thing is, a lot of people just assume they must simply be doing good business. The continued existence of the economically impossible entity is, to many, proof not only of its solvency, but also of it's quality as a financial partner.

Most people don't look any further than that. Obviously, a large number do look further than that, and many, many people would never take the bait. But don't underestimate the number of people, even well resourced people, who would fall for this sort of scheme.
They have not revealed the full extent of their training set. And they'll never do it without a court order because it will quickly reveal the amount of items inside that they have no legal right to use.
This was my paradigm through the last years and I'm always promoting it to my colleagues. What for should invest something in folder structures (representing only one of many possible criterias)? Reliable automation for this task find its limits when subject-lines are not written in in a formally complete an consistent manner. And of course since Googlemail preached "never delete" we all stick to some email hoarding attitute (better having it than needing it, especially for long running projects there are some arguments). This way I left a 90 GB Mailbox at the company I worked for before. :-)

But such unstructured bunch of emails is hard to manage, if any subset is to be handled over to another person or to be archived in some other environment. Furthermore size limitations for the inbox will force you to get rid of something earlier or later. And there is no fun in going through thousands of emails from years ago. Therefor I recently started to at least using a rough structure of folders for archiving (all mounted as sub-folders of Inbox and therefore searchable at a glance).

Some categories (ToDo, Waiting for result etc.) I'm realizing by categories in Outlook. This is quite handy to follow-up as search-queries for those categories and more can be pinned as virtual folders in Outlook.

However, I wish there were more tools in Outlook for categorizing emails while leaving them all in the same place. I'm not sure whether I ever will become an exemplary user of Inbox Zero or even reach this state.
It’s more like: if something has a tree structure, and the project scope is not 100% finalized, then more likely then not tree operations are going to eventually be requested. The cost savings from the hack is so low versus a standard tree representation that it’s unlikely to be worth the risk this occurs
The Colecovision, which is similar, came out a year earlier. The Z80 (1976) and the TI graphics chip (1979) were old news by that point. I could almost imagine an MSX standard a year earlier, with a fast Z80 (i.e. the 8 MHz Z80H, 1982) and an iteration on the TMS9918.

> you are not dependent on a market maker who cuts you in.

Is the software freelance market created and dominated by Upwork, which arbitrarily sets prices and defines the product? No, they are just one of the many marketplaces. Customers don't expect "an Upwork solution" because there is no such thing, they are fully aware a myriad small developers sell their services there. The small developers take on business risk and they are rewarded with market freedom.

Compare that with Uber, where customers are interacting with the company as a finite product, they "get an Uber". In many cities, there is no such thing as a "ride sharing market". Uber might compete with other transport solutions, but the individual drivers clealry do not have market freedom, they are a fungible workforce.

The notion that drivers have Uber as a customer is just silly. By that standard, any employee has their employer as a temporary important client, erasing any distinction and employee protection. The clients are clearly the riders who use the aps. Can Uber drivers compete with Uber and short circuit their fees by establishing direct to customer relationships? If it's generally no, then Uber is not a marketplace, it's an end product and the suppliers of the services are either employees or other subcontractors that have their own employment law obligations.

So it didn't matter how many times we rotated our secrets, any old or leaked secret in a backup or elsewhere was still completely valid.

Huh? You haven't "rotated" your credentials until the old ones are invalidated. Adding new credentials isn't a rotation.

In today's x86_64 hardware, there's no "supercomputer memory subsystem". It's just a glorified NUMA system, and the biggest problem is putting the memory close to your core, i.e. keeping data local in your NUMA node to reduce latencies.

Your resource mapping is handled by your scheduler. It knows your hardware, hence it creates a cgroup which satisfies your needs and as optimized as possible, and stuffs your application into that cgroup and runs it.

Currently king of high performance interconnects is Infiniband, and it accelerates MPI at the fabric level. You can send messages, broadcasts and reduce results like there's no tomorrow. Because when the message arrives you, it's already reduced. When you broadcast, you only send a single message which is broadcasted at fabric layer. Multiple Context IB cards have many queues and more than one MPI job can run on the same node/card with queue/context isolation.

If you're using a framework for GPU work, the architecture & optimization is done at that level automatically (the framework developers do the hard work generally). NVIDIA's drivers are pure black magic, too. They handle some parts of the optimization, too. InterGPU connection is handled by a physical fabric, managed by drivers and its own daemon.

If you're CPU bound, your libraries are generally hand tuned by its vendor (Intel MKL, BLAS, Eigen, etc.). I personally used Eigen, and it has processor specific hints and optimizations baked in.

The things you have to worry is to compile your code for the correct architecture, make sure that the hardware you run on can satisfy your demands (i.e.: do not make too many random memory accesses, keep the prefetcher and branch predictor happy if you're trying to go "all-out fast" on the node, do not abuse disk access, etc.).

On the number crunching side, keeping things independent (so they can be instruction level parallelized/vectorized), making sure you're not doing unnecessary calculations, and not abusing MPI (reducing inter-node talk to only necessary chatter) is the key.

It's way easier said than done, but when you get the hang of it, it becomes like a second nature to think about these things, if these kinds of things are your cup of tea.

No idea. Silently failing and continuation is a complete anti-feature if you want correct results in your data pipeline though.

The point is: you open those windows to let the humidity out. Warm air holds more water than cold air. The warmer it gets inside, the more humidity. If you don’t open your windows, the humidity escapes through least isolated areas, very often window sills. Sills get naturally colder, at below 12 degrees celsius you get mold in the sills. So, open your windows to blow the humidity out of the apartment but don’t open for too long so the sills don’t cool down too much, especially not below 12 degrees celsius.
The fuses are used in older installations. 25 A 500 V rated fuses are absolutely normal parts. They are usually slower than breakers. Breakers came later. The “normal electrician’s” fuses: https://ep-us.mersen.com/sites/mersen_us/files/2018-11/TM-10...
I have not seen it happen in a permanent way.

I doubt a visa for generic remote based web dev work would get approved. In fact, I believe the visa even states you have to have a skill that is not readily available in India.

Author from original post here! For clarification, this is not a new thing, but something I learned to do from this post: https://bsky.app/profile/kristadb1.bsky.social/post/3kb4wbix...

In her case, she ordered author copies (that gives you no royalties, of course) and got the same copies sold again to herself as author copies.

In my case, I also ordered author copies, but they were resold to a normal customer after I returned them.

From an order of 50 author copies, I returned 14. Packaging was fine, so it wasn’t a problem with how they bumped up during shipping. They were misprinted, or had folded covers (they tear easily after a fold, really bad), some were printed beyond the bleed area (that’s what bleed is for, you can’t be printing beyond it), and a few were printed slightly off angle. One particularly bad copy was even cut an inch smaller than it should’ve been, trimming every single page and cover, text and all.

So yeah, that’s why I returned them. But I do give you that some of those defects would go completely unseen by someone at a warehouse. You flip through the book, all pages seem to be there, but how is a person there supposed to know what the margins of the book look like? But most errors would not pass a regular printing press QC, particularly the damaged covers.

Also, Amazon both prints and distributes these books, so QC is in their hands from the start.

Interesting but why surprising? Shaligramas which are worshipped as an immanent form of Vishnu bhagavan have long been known to be fossilized ammonites.

Depends on how big (long x wide) the floors are. Older, smaller buildings can be good conversion candidates, but true skyscrapers generally aren’t. For example, in the Woolworth building only the smaller tower section was converted. The full size floors wouldn’t have made for good residential space.
And that's just the immediately visible problems. In some product categories it's difficult to find a single product where the description doesn't outright lie about features or quality, and the only way to tell is the price.

>You are now suggesting that you owe nothing back to society in return.

how so? You sell a work, people buy it and are taxed. You make income and the govt. takes some of that income as tax for that very societal eductation they cultivate. trying to evade that is in fact punished, severely.

What more do you owe society than a literal part of your wealth? From the govt's POV, giving away stuff for free is worse than selling it.

This was part 1 of a 2 or 3 part question. First we literally iterate through each element, keeping track of the max. I use this question for interns, too, so it's intentionally super easy. It gets harder in part 2.

For clarity, the pseudo code solution to the question is

for row in a[0]:
for e in row:
max_so_far = max(e, max_so_far)
return max_so_far

No tricks. Just an initial weeder question for interns before we move onto the real question.

Even with written recollections and archives, it's going to be so difficult to follow. Things just change so quickly. The irony and memes that require you to understand 5 other memes are just going to be so difficult to capture in any meaningful way.

I also think people might not care that much. They'll have an even more sophisticated and oversaturated version of the internet and I'm thinking they'll only really care about a few big highlights from our time.

In a previous (pre-tech) life I was a historian and believe it or not, actually looked at these notebooks in the Davy archives during my PhD. It’s cool to see this turn up on hacker news. Although, I’m sorry to say, Davy wasn’t really a very good poet - even if florid romanticism is to your taste.

Minor gripe: the poetry wasn’t really “discovered” in the notebooks. Historians already knew Davy wrote poetry and that this stuff was in there. What is happening is that this is being properly transcribed and made widely available for the first time, which is awesome. It’s a shame that every popular journalist writing about historians’ work has to sex it up as some kind of dramatic archival discovery. (In the business we used to joke about how every so often a journalist would write about a “discovery” that Isaac Newton was into alchemy, when that had been known for over a century.) In fact, you can perfectly well do brilliant and novel historical work with archival sources that people have looked at many time before.
