Google needs some people to resign in addition to those who were fired. Closing the daycare will work perfectly. That's how psychopaths think.

Do not fool yourself. Google has been the enemy of innovation for some time, losing good developers is nothing for them.
TIL production-readiness is contagious.
I want to be clear that I agree there are significant problems. I understand this commonly held perception but more than 29 states make it outright illegal for a regular for-profit corporation to own anything which engages in the practice of medicine. Look up "corporate practice of medicine" laws. That isn't to say there aren't problems. As a former hospital executive I can tell you first hand there is no love lost between hospital systems and insurers. A lot of hospital systems operate with a level of incompetence and dysfunction that it is truly difficult for regular people to appreciate. In many many cases a medical provider may not have a clear picture or be able to get a clear picture of what they will actually be compensated by your insurance for a given procedure. I understand that sounds crazy but it's a real thing. Competent organizations handle that situation a lot better than incompetent ones.

> Usually the lifespan limiting component is the same on all vehicles of a type so there's a shortage of exactly the part you need which makes it economically nonviable.

Varies across a country/continent. I'm in the salt belt so it's the body/suspension that gives first while it's whatever heat-deaths first in the US south.

And we have bad drivers in north america which helps the market for non-front/rear body components.
I think this makes sense from the perspective of a worker and what their fears are.

I think it’s probably much simpler: money isn’t cheap anymore and everyone overhired for a long time.
If you need (or more likely, think you need) custom stuff that doesn't fit into the one-size-fits-all tiers Cloudflare has available on their signup page.

Like... if you can just go there and self-signup and move your DNS, etc... then you're going to be just fine in their standard plans.

There's a lot of big-orgs that think they need special stuff when they in fact do not.

> "we called [Cloudflare] and they quoted a very big number"

Why did they think they needed to even call Cloudflare or speak with a sales person at all? That was the first mis-step... their Business Plan ($200 monthly) says "unmetered DDoS Protection"...
I’d imagine the plane you are primed to buy dropping out of the sky due to engineering malpractice to be a reason to re-evaluate, if not automatically cancel those contracts.

Unless you are a sociopath and only care about your balance sheet I suppose.
The saltines is basically inappropriate.
You may want to consider trying Docker if you only need a shell and not a full window manager. For 32-bit x86 you will need to disable Rosetta and use emulation, which is a performance hit but probably the best and easiest option.
If every big company dumps at the same time, less chance of falling behind your competitors.
Yes, it's still a thing. Unemployed or self-employed people can now purchase insurance plans through state exchanges and there are subsidies available to low income families. But the insurance subsidies that you get from large employers are generally still much better.

Thus we still have about 8% uninsured. Some just can't afford the premiums at all. Others could afford it but choose to take the risk of going without.
I'm more of a sim fan, and my wallet thanks me for it. I do still feel profoundly bad for my friends who grew into playing Star Citizen though... hope they're making smart financial decisions in the new year (lmao)
Both sites run on donations. That would be trying to squeeze water from a stone.

That's (very charitably) because those are weed-out questions for early-stage engineers.

Lots of companies feel they need weed-out questions because they're swamped with applicants. How does applicant approach a problem? Does applicant describe their thought process figuring it out? Can applicant figure it out?

Did that tell anyone how good the applicant is at the job? No. It just provided some gates for the interviewer to say "no hire."

It's hard to differentiate the applicants' skills so early in their careers - not enough work history to go on. I have no idea why these would be used for senior positions except that "senior" is this year's "junior."
Because the developed world is actively hostile towards parents (caveat a few outliers). This is just an additional data point.
The term did come back a bit in 2014 with the great television series "Halt and Catch Fire."

The metonymy of "Big Blue" was regularly used in the series (especially in the pilot) to describe IBM as a huge entity that a forcefully-made new division of a smaller company was competing against, to develop a personal computer in the 1980s.

This scene in the pilot about a salesman trying to convince another company's executives to choose his products over IBM's describes the feeling behind the term very well: https://youtube.com/watch?v=XOR8mk0tLpc&t=65

True. Though one of the Uber drivers was there specifically for an AWD Tesla. I'd guess that's not cheap to rent and would eat into profits. Also the people ahead of us in line rented a Bolt.
Julian Assange has been imprisoned for seven years in the UK, for what were charges in the UK of a maximum, and that is a maximum of five years. The UK Legal system regularly releases on bail people accused of murder...yes murder. Assange, was setup in court sitting away from his lawyers, inside the glass-panelled dock of the court, like if he was some modern, Hannibal Lecter, ready to jump and eat the brains of the judge. Using nothing more than the similar psychological tactics, copied from Putin in Russian. Don't even pretend the court is impartial, just make the accused show up in court, with no communication with the lawyers, and inside a cage...

Judges in the UK have been so impartial they publicly made statements of him being a narcissist, not even pretending to even appear impartial. Nils Melzer, the United Nations special rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, concluded after visiting Assange in prison is treatment was nothing more than torture...

Yeah totally normal...for the UK legal system...
I do wish folks would implement PoW ratelimiting. You can host the req'd JS on a CDN.

I implemented this as a .NET lib (https://bvulpes.net/tarpit-a-proof-of-work-http-ratelimiting...) for obscure reasons, but an NGINX integration would really be ideal.
I often tell people that science is the rigurous version of "fuck around and find out." (Similar to Adam Savage's quote about science)

The point is to understand things, but it is easy to get trapped in needing to prove the value of that understanding. Sometimes this takes decades! I am not aware of how having a deeper understanding of any system has not been a net gain for humans in the long run. So many things overlap (I mean all physics uses the same laws) that it probably shouldn't be surprising that there ends up being a relationship to how plates spin and electrons orbit. But finding that connection is far easier said than done and far more obvious post hoc than a priori.

So why not encourage these people to play? Because it's clear that "fuck around and find out" is a very successful model. It's hard to measure and noisy, but I'm not convinced it's more noisy than the current system we use.

All it means is the individual has any amount of experience. It's OK if you didn't know that, but go ahead and absorb it now. It is not weird or unique to software. People on other engineering career paths, like mechanical engineers, will also be called "senior engineer" after a few years on the job, to distinguish them from inexperienced ones.

Profitability is the new target in 2024. Not losing so much money on useless underperforming movies. Let's go through the recent Pixar flops in the years before since 2020.

Onward (2020) - Budget: $200 million
- Box Office: $142 million (Loss)

Soul (2020) - Budget: $150 million
- Box Office: $121 million (Loss)

Luca (2021) - Budget: >$100+ million
- Box Office: $49.8 million (Loss)

Turning Red (2022) - Budget: $175 million
- Box Office: $20.1 million (Loss)

Lightyear (2022) - Budget: $200 million
- Box Office: $226.4 million (Tiny profit)

Apart from Elemental (2023) which was highly successful, there seems to be a string of more box office failures from Pixar recently and it being turned into a high cost factory. Disney saw the same and decided to let 20% from Pixar go.
Also, it's easy to sell X% of a stock portfolio for 0 <= X =< 100 but difficult to do the same for a house.

I do suspect that if I saw you do that, that I’d think that you were being an asshole, regardless of how much I agree with your views about title inflation. Taking out your displeasure on one a cog in the machine with little agency reeks of the exact lack of life experience that you otherwise appear to be speaking out against. Though maybe in your organisations an utter lack of interpersonal skill can be overlooked if someone is REALLY good at C or something.

And yet you couldn't defend your claim. "No affiliation to Israeli Government" -> "You're wrong" List involved ministries -> "Wrong about what?" -> "Wrong about no government affiliation" -> (Crickets).

Maybe flagging reasonable comments is what winning looks like to you. Given your defence of an organization crowdsourcing coverage manipulation that's not so surprising. But it is how you know you're on the wrong side. I'm embarrassed for you.
I know of some projects that were on Github and received cease and desist letters. So they moved their project to one of these other repos. It is entirely possible but of course only speculation.
You could also use the git protocol and a simple load-balanced pool of replicas that each pull from the main repo constantly. All push traffic would be routed to the central repo and all fetches would be routed to a random replica.

To do it in a decentralized fashion you could simply have a DNS pool with all of the known replicas and rely on round robin DNS (not great but better than a single point of failure)

Phabricator implements an interesting multi-master replication scheme with git that essentially keeps track of which node has the newest commit for a given HEAD, then edge nodes can automatically proxy incoming requests to the node with the latest change, or a random node if they are all in sync already.
Many companies run fiscal calendars that start Feb 1 because having it Jan 1 means a bunch of year end work during the holidays.
The second factor is not meant for securing you against a compromised system and if you really think about it you already lost mostly when your system is compromised (stealing sessions credentials etc). The second factor usage is to secure that you are really you and securing a service against external unknown logins.

The attack vector is the following: Somehow a hacker gets your username and maybe a password you use often or using an brute force attack on an internet service. The second factor basically asking: Is that really you? When the second factor is on the same device (which you own) then that's also a valid way to say "yes, it's really me".

Also think about it: When you login on a phone browser or phone app both things are on the same device. Same logic.
Yes, that is absolutely something Americans still grapple with. ACA helps in theory, but healthcare is still outrageously expensive.

We’re not in a recession. GDP is growing and for the last several quarters, wage growth has outpaced inflation.
FWIW from a current GCC parent:

> You can't actually get in. There was a waitlist and your position on it actually got worse over time

This changed after covid. My understanding is that they struggled to fill classrooms due to people moving away from MTV / Palo Alto. We tried to convince friends to enroll their kids for fear of something like this happening. The closure was way worse than we expected (we thought they'd at least do a phased closure) and we kinda regret the advice we gave to friends since they're scrambling to find replacement care now.

> From what I heard recently from a daycare provider (I can't directly verify), it wasn't very good if you did get in

Daycare turnover has been bad industry wide, and our classroom had bad turnover in 2021 but it stablized since then. We've super loved our experience. Really great sanitary procedures, high quality learning objectives and measurement, healthy food, etc.

> It was supposedly subsidized but still strangely expensive.

Yes it's still shockingly expensive. Maybe this was self inflicted at first: I heard that when one of the Wojicki sisters had her kids there they changed out all classroom furniture every year, looked for way overqualified people to do the childcare (like Ph.Ds) and all that. It's not that over the top anymore today, but today they still pay the childcare workers very well by that industry's standards (they also get all the same days off as other alphabet workers) and the facilities are way bigger than others that you'd find on the peninsula, with a playground / yard for every N classrooms.

My personal feeling is: I understand why they'd cut this benefit. I _don't_ understand why they had to cut it in this fashion. Having another daycare company buy it out and handing over operations, or raising prices so it's not subsidized, or phasing out classrooms over N years to give parents plenty of time to find alternative care -- there are just better ways they could have ended this longstanding benefit.

> Of course investors aren't rewarding them for an upcoming VR headset which is yet to be proven. Why would they?

In ~theory~ such an announcement would be priced into the markets since market capitalization is also dependent on future expected returns.

Maybe investors just don't think everyone will be wearing $3000 digital fisheye goggles in a few years.

The stalking is self evident. The bugs in a box thing is immature, but unlikely someone can get damages on per se.

Congratulations, you’ve turned the courts into a contest between theoretical models of what an act is “worth” instead of considering the facts and circumstances at hand.
Disney's problem is they're making trash content. Including Pixar. They need to fire some exes, not just the rank and file.

Like how the fuck is Kathleen Kennedy still employed? She's the reverse Midas, turning money-printing machines into dust overnight.
I don't think it's clever, it's quite unintuitive and ugly. To me anyway. If the author really wanted to cram everything into a list comprehension, the logical way to think about it is:

(
(int(tsc, 16), int(pc, 16))
for tsc, _, pc, *_ in (line.strip().split(",") for line in fp)
),

Which is, of course, almost as ugly. Just use a for loop and yield
People get weirdly upset about that kind of stuff so it would not surprise me tbh.

Interesting to see you so confident that you’re well informed that you think you’re well positioned to make a moral judgement on such things.
Sound to me like they're talking (their) philosophy rather than existing law. I for one agree, harassment shouldn't be considered lesser just because the victim admits to having a thick skin.
> But for all intents & purposes, while paying rent you are owner of said apartment, right?

Wrong. You don't own that place, the owner owns it. And they have the right of entry in emergency situations, or typically with 48 hours notice. They will bill/sue/evict you for tampering with the entry locks, for sure.
I'm not talking about the industry in general, I'm talking about my personal preferences. I like to use C++ with Visual Studio and DirectX. I would hate to find myself in a position where I had to develop everything in Linux for compatibility reasons. I hate the fact that some web dev tools only run on Linux or Mac right now and I have to use WSL2 (bun), I would really hate to see game dev go the same direction. Personally, I like Windows as a platform and I don't go out of my way to target Linux or Mac
As user rdedev mentions, check out Mojo. It feels very much like it's trying to address a lot of your needs. The main compromise is that it appears a large portion of the toolchain is closed-source at the moment, and it appears that they're trying to get developers onto their enterprise offering, whatever that entails. Here's the link to Mojo: https://www.modular.com/max/mojo
A person with at-most 3-4 years experience, but much more likely a lot less is not senior or experienced. I entirely disagree with your assessment.

Someone has to have actual experience to be considered senior. Being a couple years out of college is not experienced.

> All it means is the individual has any amount of experience.

By this logic - what would we call someone with 15 years of experience? What about 25 years? Super Supreme Senior Engineer, Level 9000?

The field needs to stop inflating titles. It's bad enough having people willy-nilly call themselves "engineers", let alone tack-on qualifiers like "senior".
ooh, using a NN as a solver / simulator would make pretty much anything differentiable :)
If I understand what I read recently about movie budgets, for big films like these they need to make roughly double that headline budget to break even. The budget does not include distribution and marketing. So even Lightyear was actually a loss

edit: (and incidentally Lightyear is the only one of these I've seen. I've got 3 kids and we used to love Pixar films but these days.. meh. Even though we've since had the third so still should be the same demographic).
It is on the higher end of the price range for similar daycares in the area.

The Python interpreter as acting totally sanely.

The author is asking it to loop over a list (or any iterable) and destructure each of the elements. But is then providing a a list containing some strings, none of which can be destructured.

Reducing to just the second part of the loop:

[(x, z) for x, _, z, *_ in ["0x2d41854", "3", "0x80001a14", "(0xbffd)"]]

IE in non-list-comprehension form:

for x, _, z, *_ in ["0x2d41854", "3", "0x80001a14", "(0xbffd)"]:

IE, the first element is expanded as:

x, _, z, *_ = "0x2d41854"

Which is clearly nonsensical.
I avoid HTTPS for Git because I prefer not to have credential secrets sitting around unencrypted in my home directory. For SSH, I keep my private key on my Yubikeys.
I would be careful about Hollywood loss numbers. Disney is in it for the merch. That said, I wonder how those movies stack up to older greats like Cars, Toy Story, or Monsters Inc. They are only true failures if they fail to sell toys. Which considering I’ve never seen merch for any of these movies on the street tells me they probably have failed.
I mean, when was the last time you saw Google bother to continue running a service that was merely "profitable" and failed to achieve even a paltry billion users? This daycare was doomed to be shut down before it even got started.
Disappointing that it hasn't launched with linux support per the original RAD debugger announcement, but to my understanding the project has been restarted several times since then.
Enshittification?
With those numbers, Lightyear was definitely not profitable. Published budgets usually don't include the marketing budget, which is usually the same or more than the production budget. Even if you're skimping on marketing it's still going to be at least equal to half the production budget.

Additionally, theaters take a cut of the box office revenue. Domestically they usually take about half, internationally the average is about 60%.

Edit: Looking at the numbers, Elemental probably only broke even or made a slight profit.
Yes, that's the most probable. I use a M3 Max so nothing is really slow but speed difference between vscode and Sublime is abysmal.
