> a new survey found that a staggering 85% of Americans fear job loss in 2024. What’s more, MyPerfectResume’s 2024 Workplace Trends Survey found that job seekers have negative sentiments around several issues for 2024.

Well, surely a company called MyPerfectResume has no incentive to create anxiety about layoffs and job-seeking. In any case, I would like to see the survey methodology and crosstabs (released by all reputable pollsters) before I take this seriously.

Lockdown prevents new enrollment in MDM/adding profiles, but you can use an MDM you're already enrolled in. It's pretty good from a security perspective.

What I dislike is that it applies to all devices in your iCloud profile, and is overall pretty intrusive/annoying. Best practice if you're going to use it is probably to have multiple iCloud accounts (maybe in a "family" for license sharing), and Lockdown Mode one of them for the more secure devices. I tried using it for all of my devices last year and it was pretty unusable.

(Main pain point was how it handles unsecure wifi networks; I consider ~all networks insecure regardless of wifi encryption, but not being able to save or otherwise autoconnect to a hotel network with an iPad with nothing on it, etc. was the last straw. With a decent travel router it's fine.)
It's not better than proper research, but when proper research doesn't exist it's all we have
What I'm wondering is how do we get paid and what kind of cut are they taking? I'm a little worried it's going to be like, "and creators can earn up to 20% usage credits depending on the number of installs their GPTs get!"
That's probably a problem for the hosting company, but it's much less of a problem for users who are navigating via direct links between pages or manually curated webrings rather than using some sort of search feature or recommendation algorithm

That sounds awesome! Where in CO was this?

Or if you prefer, is that the case for anywhere outside Boulder?
> > poison under veneer

> Is this your own coinage? It's very good and I'm totally stealing it either way.

Yes, English is not my first language and I was trying to remember a colloquialism to translate. I was thinking of the words "veneer" (often used to indicate something is hidden with malice in my mother tongue) and "poison" as in "a viper's tongue" which is "a sharp tongue" in English and other words but I couldn't remember any aphorisms in either of languages. I thought both words would be evocative enough to convey the meaning so I went with it.
The CEO, Anne Wojcicki, was married to Sergey Brin (founder of google): https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/23/technology/23google.html
Her sister Susan was also an exec at Google and provided space for the company when it first got started. Sergey loaned a bunch of money to 23&me before that, and his loan was repaid when google invested (which sounds like a conflict of interest to me, but then again, Sergey is a bunch of conflict of interests).
Later, GV (Google Ventures) invested more in 23&Me. At the time, the head of GV was Bill Maris, who had worked with Anne before she founded her company (and I was an advisor for GV around that time; if they'd asked me, I would have said "don't put more money in this turkey").

So basically a little family of people who wanted to see the company succeed. I think they've been given their time to succeed and at best, have reached a sort of steady state where they are not going out of business, but also aren't achieving the interesting mission they were based on.
Those "not triple-A" games are often called "AA" to mean "bankrolled, but not blockbuster".
I can understand it not being IMMEDIATELY public. But unless someone explicitly asks to be excluded there is a very good reason for police actions to be public. We REALLY don't want to have a police force working in secret without a very good reason like undercover or witness protection.
I think there’s enough KYC that if someone attempted this they would quickly be arrested.
the number comes from "MyPerfectResume’s 2024 Workplace Trends Survey," and there's no information about its methodology on the page that I could see.
Our customers typically just bundle our pricing within their own team/enterprise plan and pass through the cost. IT admins even within SMB orgs are happy to pay a couple hundred dollars a month more for the enhanced security of SAML auth. And small teams realistically don't need SAML, so you can add a minimum requirement on the number of "seats" (assuming that's how you bill).
> Submarines also have reduced partial pressure of oxygen, (18-19%)

The article defines high altitude at 1.96km, or 6,430 feet. That’s a less-than 16.5% effective oxygen atmosphere [1].

Can't say I'm sad to see them go. They always felt like a glorified power-point deck to me, and I hated getting mockups and designs in InVision, because there was no in-built redline like Zeppelin and Figma now have, and the designers I worked with often "forgot" to add said redlines. Giving me the raw PSD/AI file was preferable
The open-source AMDGPU KFD driver in the Linux kernel supports compute, including with the RX 580 (Polaris). It's true that AMD dropped official support for that hardware and has been closing Polaris-specific bugs as wont-fix. The last ROCm release that AMD validated on Polaris hardware was ROCm 3.5 (June 2020).

I've packaged the test suites of the ROCm math libraries for Debian Trixie and have personally donated a selection of Fiji and Polaris hardware for the Debian AI Team's CI. It's beyond my abilities to fix everything wrong on old hardware, but I'm hoping that having publicly accessible test logs will at least help people to understand what works and what doesn't.

Of course, it always helps if the community contributes. Debian would certainly be interested in bug reports and patches for Polaris. Users with hardware no longer supported by AMD may find it easier to work with their distro package maintainers than with AMD directly.
I would like to see one on all Apple's latest advancements. The hype: "SwiftUI, async/await and actors, and declarative animations make building a robust app easier than ever". The shower: "Imperative programming is really easy for our little brains to handle. UIKit, Core Animation, and GCD are easier to work with and reason about"
There is more than some fuzziness to the data! At some point, measuring something sufficiently poorly is worse than not measuring it at all, and the empirical efforts I've seen to evaluate things I care about (programming languages, static types, etc) all fall into that category.

The alternative is to rely on rich experience and good taste. If you want to make it a bit more rigorous, you can approach this in terms of qualitative research—which makes sense for academic research, but isn't necessarily the best way to learn for yourself or to design tools.

Expert experience is far more effective at capturing complex, multi-dimensional phenomena than anything we can reduce to a small number of easily-gathered quantitative metrics.

Just sat and stared out the window for five minutes and it was delightful.

Ironically, however, I'll probably use this to _stand_ and stare out the window as a nice break from sitting all day.

Thanks for providing the sound to make this tool eyes-free. Cool little demo.
> And there are no open source drivers for compute.

Well, technically ROCm is open source (although it comes across more as a "dump source code releases every now and then" to me.)

Also, the link is from the Mesa project, which is working on an OpenCL frontend to the driver called rusticl. It's not yet stable or enabled by default, but if you get a build of it, you can try setting the environment variable `RUSTICL_ENABLE=radeonsi` and it should sort-of work (on any Radeon HD 7000 or Radeon R7/R9/RX GPU!)

iirc the rusticl developers are even hoping/planning to get HIP (via chipStar) and SYCL (via Intel's compiler) working on top of rusticl.
Is a single assembly instruction a robot?
But this is where the studies come in. Lots of people think this is true. And it seems perfectly reasonable. But there's really no research to back this up.
Here's a solution: just come up with a name that better describes the award category. Maybe that way different categories of games won't be lumped together to compete against each other.

What counts as a component in this context? Obviously it couldn’t fly without a wing. (I would like to use this stat to comfort someone who doesn’t like flying)
IIRC InVision was losing momentum to Marvel app before Figma became popular.

Not sure how Marvel app is faring.
The web isn't un-fun because of a lack of Geocities or crap websites.

The web today is at least partly a trap, and people are flies to be tranquilised, liquidised and digested from the inside out by governments and corporations. At least that is what they think.

We now know about secret courts, that everything is being recorded to be replayed and reanalysed, continuous tracking, etc. It's a gilded cage, there are doughnuts in there, pron, games - lots of flashing lights.

Anyway, if you're in a cage, even a gilded one, it changes behaviour. Similarly, if you're packed into a densely populated urban area your behaviour changes again.

What 'fun' even means to an animal in a cage, in a framework not of their own making, versus what a wild animal thinks is not comparable, not even on the same plane of existence.
The open-source nature of AuthKit is pretty different. You can build your own complete custom UI with the React components. Or build your own components from scratch and still use the WorkOS backend.

Outside of that, it's pretty much a drop-in replacement for Auth0. We also have more features, like native SCIM provisioning and a streaming events API to keep your app's database in sync.
have you worked with any compiled languages? It's not much different. It can get a lot worse ^_^. Java's one of the best languages to work in IMO.

good idea, why not

for a more throw-me-in-the-water introduction, here are my notes on another famous public domain release from atw. some remarks are specific to the codebase, but essentially it is a general introduction to atwc:

https://github.com/kparc/bcc/blob/master/d/sidenotes.md

and here’s a less involved way to get lit:

This is a great comment. Thank you for defending my comment better than I ever could.

But yeah, the power comes from the bunker and other hard assets sheltered in it. The apocalypse bunker would in effect become a modern castle on the hill. It's funny the commenter accused me of "comic book logic", but seemed to think that I thought the bunker owner would be paying their personal in dollars (or crypto) over the internet in a post-apocalyptic world...

If civilisation collapsed and now everyone outside the bunker is starving and killing each other for food then your best bet is to pledge your loyalty to the dude with food, guns and a bunker. You're not going to try to kill him and take what he has because under his protection in the bunker you're safe and being fed. What the commenter is missing is that the arrangement is actually extremely good relative to the suffering outside of the bunker.

I also don't buy the idea that it would be easy to revolt. In fact if the dude with the bunker is protecting you and feeding you you're more incentivised to report any potential revolts to prove your own loyalty rather than want to participate. It's the same reason people generally don't bad mouth their employers in public because even if you hate your job, having a job is generally better than the alternative.

Moreover, if they're fed and safe I'm not sure how they'd even benefit from trying to steel – would they want more food or more safety or something? It seems like a great way to great either get yourself killed with little to no practical gain.

Obviously the bunker alone isn't enough though... You'd need ample food, guns and resources as well as some social structure to ensure everyone understands their place and that rebelling against the social order wouldn't be in anyone's best interest. People wouldn't be paid in cash, but like in feudal Europe people would instead be paid with food, safety, and status. So long as the bunker leader could provide some combination of these resources then people will be willing to serve for them in a world in which those resources are otherwise scarce.

I think what's most unrealistic about what I'm saying is an outcome where civilisation totally collapses yet some percentage of humanity continues to survive. If there was a nuclear war today the US president would be unlikely to be killed and I'd assume a lot of military equipment would still be operational. What you'd probably see is localised pockets of lawlessness and famine directly after the nuclear exchange, but with time I'd assume that the government would be restored.
Yes rates vary, the point is to have ballpark figures to compare against the cost of gasoline. Without that the conversation is not particularly useful.
Yes we too have Chinese cars in NZ. They are pretty well built, albeit lame tech. The cheapness comes from the fact they are much smaller. Thats the market segment BYD is winning, they are not even competing with Tesla.
I think it's an issue of separating keyboard/trackpad/mouse scrolling: it may be beneficial in some cases, it may be burdensome in others.

I wouldn't like smooth scrolling when I use PageUp/PageDown, unless it added minimal latency, because for full pages it would break the illusion.

However, it may feel natural and normal with small and precise movements like multiple finger trackpad scroll for a few lines - at least if there's an acceleration curve to reduce the fps for large movements (many lines, or quick movements to scroll by full pages): it would help keep the perception of a low latency between the action and its "immediate" execution.
That could probably invite needless frivolous lawsuits (IP/patent/copyright/license trolls) on various parts of the source code.
Nice. Is it just a product idea validation?
For what it’s worth I don’t believe it meaningfully outperforms glommio. There are some spots where it outperforms glommio but that’s just a missing optimization that could be added. The biggest advantage monoio really has is that it currently has support for other platforms.

Not saying it’s the wrong choice, just highlighting the trade offs.

I’m not sure what you mean by io_uring as glommio/monoio should be hiding the io_uring details behind the runtime.

That one was Hertz. I use Avis pretty much exclusively now. They're mostly "ok" but certain pickup locations (SFO for example) are notoriously terrible at actually having a car ready like they are supposed to.
I haven't been in a couple of years now for various reasons, but All Things Open[1] has been one of the primary ones I've attended. I've been a speaker there a couple of times, and a regular attendee a few other times. It's always a good time either way.

>As soon as the creator(s) of the game start to sacrifice their vision of the game in favor of stakeholder demands, it very quickly falls out of that "indie" category for me.

I don't think that's really true. Customers are stakeholders and listening to customer feedback and making changes even if they conflict with your initial vision can be a good thing!
I like the one that considered the additional factor of people just having invasive worms in them already, especially those living in squalor in the heavily Republican southeast.

American healthcare is such that this would never be tested for until it becomes a problem, when your immune system is strained by other things the worms become a burden to your body. COVID is that other thing. So taking Ivermectin kills the worms as it was designed to do and this results in the body being able to focus just on fighting COVID. Given the "improved outcomes" being such low percentages to begin with, that fits pretty well to the distribution of the population that maybe have worms. So they say, "aha ivermectin did it, big pharma doesn't want you to know!" despite ivermectin being big pharma and just not being in on the conspiracy club

so then the other camp tries to do a controlled study of just covid patients and finds no link. their headline says "no link found, not recommended" of course, because they're John Hopkins instead of their next door neighbor, this is just a symptom of the conspiracy theory and leftist institutions.

but beyond that, it is a symptom of Republicans feeling accurately underserved by those institutions. There is an obsession with pointing out how dumb someone is, instead of empathizing and doing the additional study. "ah I see how you reached that conclusion, a bunch of people have been in a symbiotic relationship with parasites the whole time!"
Sadly it's not against it to use killing weapons.

Ask HN: Does anyone write HTML anymore?
I jest about this, but it's interesting to observe that many personal websites nowadays heavily rely on JavaScript to render even the most basic text content. In fact, some of these sites become entirely non-functional if JavaScript is disabled.

Let me clarify, I've been using JavaScript since a time when people would tease me for not coding in Flash, as it was considered the future language of web development.

I was creating SPAs (single page applications) long before I even knew what the acronym SPA stood for. I've been crafting React frontends for at least six years now (and "vanilla" for at least 10 years prior to that), so you could say I've had my fair share of JavaScript coding experience.

I understand that tools like Next.js and Remix allow you to generate server-side React that ultimately produces plain HTML output. However, what if I don't want a backend at all and still desire straightforward HTML output? (And yes, I know about static site generators; I'm even building one of my own.)

My main concern is that while search engines can certainly parse JavaScript, I suspect that they still perform best with HTML. Many websites may be missing out on better search engine results because they aren't optimized for discoverability through traditional HTML content.
Wow! I've never heard of a pen with a shutoff valve. Could you please share some recommendations?
Absolutely if you wanna spend extra 10k for lesser trim.
Putting everything in a class has some really nice benefits.

For example, for performance monitoring/debugging, it's really nice to see memory usage and thread creation by package/class. Whereas, I've seen teams spend weeks trying to find memory leaks in NodeJS applications, because you just get "here's general usage by object-shape". Would literally take me less than a minute with Java...
