It seems like they're trying to pass off the layoffs as with cause so they can avoid unemployment, severance and other legal requirements that will vary by state.
It's a great tool when you are a jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one. You can use to decode phase-modulated signals, calculate stress distribution in some mechanical part, get an idea of how the orbit of a particular asteroid will look two hundred years for now, or just make a diagram of a set of events, among many, many other things.

I bring lots of experience building out data-intensive web apps in the realms from e-commerce to big data visualization dashboards. I’d love to transition to doing more full-stack work with a focus on the front-end as I enjoy the breadth of work across the stack.
At first glance it feels like the most effective way to game this system is to grind user credit through aggregate low polarization support on fairly neutral low impact posts, then strategically 'spend' on higher profile polerizing posts. Is that a fair 'red teaming' observation?
TLDR the brain is complex and while the three main classes of psychosis-inducing drugs have distinct principal mechanisms, there's likely a significant degree of overlap.
If you're going to get that picky (and please be aware I'm only doing this for the sake of the argument) media can never be hypermedia in the absence of the client. HTML opened in notepad is just text. Cat GIFs, rendered in the correct client, would absolutely be hypermedia (you could inline link data as QR codes, if you felt like being perverse).

Hypermedia starts with the client, not with the file format.
Just curious, what distinguishes a "visual effects" staff member from an "animation" staff member when making an animation?

Are "animators" doing the original character/flow design work and then visual effects people punch up backgrounds/lighting/textures etc. and doing the rendering?
Well, if I have to hire one important account executive for my team, would I consider her? No.

Not only did she post it on social media, but it revealed that she made no sales (her fault or not).

Fair enough, though it is possible to get the effects of a union without a union, if worker-employee relationship resembles a feudal lord-serf relationship, where the serf is bound to the lord for life, but the lord is also responsible for covering the basic needs of the serf.

Obviously, Japan, China and Korea come from quite different circumstances to Europe and the US in a multitude of ways.
Is there ever a circumstance in which case "NEVER explain the policy" is a legitimate thing to say?
I can say that the server in question is updated at least until 2010. However, some of the software running on it has some (read: quite a few) weaknesses as far as I can see.

...and it has ports open.

Maybe you should give it a backrub, IDK. It's possible to iteratively update that thing AFAICS.
Thanks, yeah that makes sense. :)

When people speak of "symbolic computation" in the context of mathematica, it's usually not about the Mathematica programming language itself, but rather about using Mathematica to do symbolical mathematics. A bit like how you did math with pen and paper in high school or university, except having Mathematica do all the hard stuff.
They still can publish their assets outside of the Unity store. Users can download them and install them in Unity. But I agree it's not a nice move from behalf of Unity.
I get what you are saying. And you put forward a nice argument. The problem is that the ANTI-CICO-Crowd takes the stance that "CICO WONT WORK BECAUSE MY CO IS REDUCED HAH TAKE THAT CICO-FUCKTARDS"

Which is stupid.

If you want to loose weight and maintain a reasonable BMI during the long run you need 2 things.

1) A healthy diet, if you are in America this requires a bit of planning, if you live in Europe its easier. Limit the portion size (and if you are fat you don't know what a normal portion size is, look to you skinnier friends for inspiration).

2) Get your heart rate up a couple of times a week. If you are fat this might be the _walk_ to the store. If you are just weak weight training is great. And for 99% you most likely should aim to increase the amount of condition training, brisk walks, joggins, biking, chopping wood whatever.
Mate these studies are very clearly talking about percentages here, so they are directly comparable. You said 0.1% could lose 10 pounds over five years, the studies you cited mention 25-35% are able to do at least that after five years - the average man in the US is 200 pounds, and these are obese people, so the loss was actually higher than 10 pounds. Now you are changing the goal posts to 30%!

A good diet and exercise routine can have wonderful results, even in the long-term. The percentage of success in losing significant weight with those methods is far, far above 0.1%, and I think people should be aware of that.

Lisp is at its core an evaluator for expressions. The routine for that is called EVAL.

Mathematica is a computer algebra system at its core and is a rule-based rewrite system for expressions.

An example in Lisp notation:

In a computer algebra system (CAS) one may enter 5a - 2a

> (- (* 5 a) (* 2 a))

The CAS would answer with:

(* 3 a)

It has used rules to simplify the expression and uses some default form. It could have printed a + a + a or 3 * a. It sees that it can't further simplify it, because a has no value and thus returns this simplified expression as it is.

In Lisp things are differently. It takes an expression and tries to compute a value:

> (- (* 5 a) (* 2 a))

The result in Lisp is "Error: unbound variable a". It can't compute a value, because during evaluation it sees that the variable a has no value. Evaluation of the unbound variable a is an error.

Now you could write an expression simplifier in Lisp: let's call it simplify. Lisp has a quote operator, which returns the embedded thing as it is -> it is not evaluated. We can embed an expression inside quote and thus call simplify with that unevaluated expression as an argument.

> (simplify (quote (- (* 5 a) (* 2 a))))

The result then could be

(* 3 a)

One then could write a input loop in Lisp

(loop (print (simplify (read)))

which then would not be a read-eval-print-loop, but a read-simplify-print-loop.

(defun read-simplify-print-loop ()
(loop (print (simplify (read))))

This interactive loop would read expressions and print simplified expressions...

Actually something like that has been done with computer algebra systems written in Lisp, like Macsyma/Maxima and Reduce. But they also then switched to infix syntax for input/output to make it easier for humans to enter mathematical expressions.

Peter Norvig gave in his book "Paradigms of AI Programming, Case Studies in Common Lisp" extensive examples how to implement such a thing in Lisp:

https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter8....

and

https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter15...

The advantage of the Mathematica language compared to Lisp is that it can compute with expressions via rules out of the box. Additionally Mathematica is so much more than that: it is an environment, a collection of mathematical knowledge, a cloud service, a specific product on can buy/rent, ...

The drawback is that the semantics are murky and Mathematica is a two-language system: the fast internal code (and much of the environment) is written in C++ and the expressive language is on top.

Lisp OTOH is often much more efficiently compiled with clear(er) semantics.

You are a legend! I came back to your website for a little over 10 minutes with Sit because I saved the bookmark to my home, and then I ended up getting pulled into your website to explore it a bit.

I was really loving the minimalist aesthetic, and it made me wonder why I usually complicate my own web designs by adding boxes around things instead of letting the content flow. Also, your writing style in your technical posts is very refined, clear, and succinct, which I appreciate.

Eventually, I found your post mentioning that Sit was a PWA now, and it made me remember I had commented back on here. I came back wondering if you had replied, and sure enough, you had!

Thanks for making the improvement! I'm very glad I can install it as a PWA now, and I know I'll be using it more!

you keep saying this despite the fact that I explicitly include https://hyperview.org as an example of another hypermedia in https://hypermedia.systems. I am very open to other types of hypermedia and often refer people to “RESTful Web Cliebts” by mark amundsen (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/restful-web-clients/978...) to learn how build them.

1. Raise an army.
2. Take the land from its existing inhabitants.
3. Attempt to paint this action in the light of sovereignty rather than terrorism or just plain banditry.
4. Defend the land against the existing nation state(s) wishing to reclaim it.
5. Attempt to get recognition from other nations.

They have paid tiers. Yes you can get basic email for free, but it has a limited inbox size and filtering options. I think their cheapest is $4/month (USD) which also includes some of their other products. They have higher tiers which expand storage even further, allow for custom domains, and provide access to beta features.

Proton also has a VPN, encrypted storage space, and password manager. They're slowly building a full suite of privacy-focused apps with paid tiers for all of them. Development stagnated for a while but it seems like they've made decent progress recently, although their products still don't match the features of Google's app suite.

Full disclosure, I have been paying for Proton services for several years now and use them as my primary email provider.
> What do I know about you as a human after I hear your SSN

You know what part of the country I was born in, and using that, you can guess my age range. The interface is an opaque number, the implementation describes state, some of which is guaranteed to be present, one of which you can access using lseek(), which is a system call. In this case the state is even completely deterministic.
In fact, they are saying that the relationship ends because she's fat, while the most probable cause is that they have more girlfriends than they can handle. I.e. they do the cruel thing when the honesty would be better.
Rules for layoffs vary greatly from state to state.
> Something is always the bottleneck.

Insightful thought.
Originally, a file in computing referred to a group of punch cards stored in a box. If this is the definition you hold on to, then signalfd and pidfd do not represent a file. In fact, by that definition nothing in modern computing is a file.

However, as the technology evolved and punch cards went out of style, everyone (except maybe you) accepted "file" as an abstract representation of said box. signalfd and pidfd fit within that abstraction.

Should I preemptively start into your next question of why Linux has tty when there is no teletype to be found?
Apparently their arguments against the Tax office was similarly nonsense. Although it seams the Tax Office didn't bother too much until recently when the bill got big enough to go to court over https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-16/hutt-river-province-d...

My understanding is the local council gave them a bit of cover because it became a bit of a tourist destination in an area the wasn't seeing much activity.
Isn't it a bit more complicated than that if you, like Sourceforge, also host Git repos over SSH?
Do you think it's impossible to fire a sales person for performance reasons in under 6 months then?
That's cool. I've been using archivebox together with other tools to achieve this. It may be cool to get some integrations too, rather than yet another from-scratch rag.
Which controls stabilized around Bootstrap styles (now there's a a name I haven't heard in a long time)?

No, industry should not and will not stabilize around "few widespread sets". For the simple reason: it's extremely difficult to create a proper userland UI control in the browser. How many custom drop downs fail even the most basic keyboard behaviours? How many custom UI elements fail even the most basic screenreader interactions? etc. etc.

What you really truly need is a rich browser-native set if controls, and https://open-ui.org/ is slowly working towards that.

Under California Law (Cloudflare is HQ'd in San Francisco), she is employed "at-will." Unless covered by a union contract, she can be fired/laid off at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all.

According to such law, the company does not need to provide any information as to the reason she was terminated. However, one could argue that it would be a common and professional courtesy to give straight answers.

The only unlawful reasons were if she was terminated for violation of her civil rights based on a few protected classes, was harassed, or if she was retaliated against as part of a few protected activities (whistleblower, jury duty, labor organizing, safety comlaint).

"When an employee feels that they have been terminated, harassed or discriminated against based on their race, religion, gender, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, medical condition, marital status, age (over 40), sexual orientation or denial of family medical leave, they should contact the Department of Fair Employment and Housing at 1-800-884-1684 or at www.dfeh.ca.gov"

That's horrible and very different from what I experienced in Switzerland.

It's a concept in Swiss law that obligations are symmetrical, and the periods are quite long (three months, and not only for employment, but for other contracts as well, like renting).

If you are dismissed on the spot, you'll get three months of pay. On the other hand, if you give or are given notice, you are sometimes expected to continue work. This happened to me ten years ago. My employer expected me to explain to my coworkers how some things work during that time.

Looking back even I found that a bit strange because I understand the thing with doing only harm when someone is leaving. For example by leaving backdoors?
> but I feel like rental cars are one of the worst places for the current generation of EVs.

How could hertz not have known this? I think this was probably not a business decision but a management decision done so they can call the company green, basically virtue signalling when clearly it was a terrible business decision.

Sustainability is great but I feel like we’re making a lot of bad decisions to pretend like we are sustainable.
To me battery swapping makes no sense for consumer cars unless it’s used to significantly increase prices (possibly by removing home charging as well): battery swapping requires a ton more maintenance, space, infrastructure, and logistics, constrains vehicles enormously, and requires a very small number of standard battery formats.
Yes, exactly! These new integrated graphics chips are great for 1080p 60hz for the games kids actually play, like Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, CSGO, etc.

Integrate graphics will be the default in the future with discrete GPUs used only by the niche gamers and AI developer.

Lowest common denominator consoles like the Series S and Steam Deck are also contributing to this push as gamedevs are forced to optimize for integrated AMD graphics.
If you are working in tech, you can just save let's say quarter of your salary every month as a personal unemployment insurance and still be much better off than some dude working in EU Google office for half your salary (or even less!) with higher taxes.
I don't follow your logical jump from (3) to (4).

Cost-cutting is always unpleasant, and never done just for fun. Typically companies cut costs when they're feeling squeezed, i.e. they have to.

A company with a "mini monopoly" would not feel squeezed - quite the opposite.
What's a "kilometer"? Is that even legal here?
I have to think they will lose at least 10% just through attrition.

And they won't have to pay any severance packages for that 10%. Heck, if 20% choose to leave they can cancel the layoff. Imagine the PR!

The outcome of corporate comms strategy is never unplanned or coincidental. People quitting over it is exactly why they made this announcement.
Is there any evidence that's what happened? As far as I can tell, the NSA was doing it's routine thing of spying on foreign governments and and discovered that Airbus was trying to bribe a gov official.

Maybe you agree with Henry L. Stimson that "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail", but I haven't seen anything indicating that the NSA was spying on behalf of Boeing, or even directly targeting Airbus. Maybe I missed something, would be happy to learn if you have any sources to share :)
It converts illiquid paper capital into a positive cash flow. Yes, you do have to pay it back (unless you dissolve before then) but it’s over a longer time period. And who knows - your illiquid asset might grow faster than your loan payment in which case you can refinance indefinitely for a cash flow you don’t need to pay taxes on.
My experience is different. _When_ (not always!) I was considered a top performer, you had a 1:1 or small group meeting with senior leaders who told you point blank: "Layoffs are coming. You are top performers. None of you will be laid-off." People would sigh with relief, then go back to their desk. The layoff announcement would come moments later.
It is a scale. If you run a pawn shop you may dial up or down your blind eye for handling stolen goods. To the point where you can become the go to place for selling stolen stuff.
It's not even unique (outside of a process) nor exclusive.
I think I did some talks about it ~15 years ago which are probably online. A quick search brings up some stuff but I don't remember which were about Sealand which were about the business. Overall, not horrible; water for showering was limited (rain and a watermaker which often clogged), food/cooking were intermittent (we got grocery deliveries from Tesco to a nearby dock and brought them out every 1-2 weeks)

I've discovered I can tolerate almost any local conditions (tiny dorm room, Sealand, sleeping in a car, trailer in Iraq, tent in Afghanistan, random tiny apartment, hotel, airport lounge, 5 star hotel suite, villa, etc. are all not that different) as long as I have Internet.

I'm currently looking at getting a (50-80', solar, nice) sailing catamaran in a few years and doing RTW trips on it.
I answered the way I did cause you wrote "if we wanted to tax this wealth".

Which is the point, really, cause nobody cares about the small person who got a 1000% return on 50$ of Bitcoin, we care about massive assets owned by a tiny minority who is able to dodge capital gains tax even if their asset growth is only 4% per year.
Apple's advertising said otherwise.
Are there any good books on algorithmically-supported collective intelligence?
Background: I did a PhD in computational physics.

Starting as an undergrad, I extensively used mathematica to help or double check homework problems, plotting functions etc. For more "numerical" type of work, we extensively used matlab, so typically we used mathematica for more symbolical type problems. Later on, when working in physics, I often used mathematica, again mostly for doing things like symbolical integration, or things like quickly calculating symbolical gradients that I could copy-paste into some numerical software etc.

I no longer work in academia so I don't have access to a mathematica license, but similar free tools are Sympy, Maxima, which are good for basic stuff but in my experience are not nearly as good as Mathematica for more complicated stuff. Or just the online wolframalpha.
It does matter. Transmiting it in plain text, ie unencrypted, is much worse, because it means eavesdroppers also have access to it.
Boo ran on Mono though. Their flavor of JavaScript, UnityScript wasn’t even remotely similar to standard JS besides syntax, it also ran on Mono. I vaguely remember them trying Python initially but IIRC Boo and “JavaScript” were always based on Mono.
Do you have any evidence of industry collusion? Else, this sounds like tinfoil hat stuff.
I think that you might find that Electron has perfectly fine default performance! Think about filling out an <input> field in your browser that doesn't have any weird magic on it. It's basically instant right?

The issues come from stuff like autocompletion tricks etc leading to weird lagginess. People get a first version of a thing working, and then it just kind of exists in that state forever.
What's the rational for not allowing LGPL code on the unity store? It makes no sense for the ban imho (tho i m not very familiar with unity store's model so i might just be missing something).
I rented a car on a holiday a while ago. I wanted to try electric or plug in hybrid. The car we chose was not available and he said the plug-ins didn't have the charging cable. The guy kept pushing for a brand new car they had, that was also hybrid. I said sure

It ended up being an SUV that even being hybrid consumed more gas than an average non hybrid sedan.

I had a feeling they didn't want me to rent an electric, or the clerk was pushing me away from it.
