> Not a knock on EV's really, mostly the charging infrastructure and the rental experience.

But why not knock on them? They had a lot of promise and a lot of hype when they were being touted as simpler and cheaper and just overall better. Somehow they ended up being more expensive, unless we're talking about Chinese brands, more costly to insure, a longer time to charge than a corresponding IC car and incompatible charging networks. I think they can handle a bit of criticism, it's a big industry, and it can deal with some minor criticism from an orange hacker forum.

They're seriously trying to blame the problems of Boeing on a merger from nearly 3 decades ago. The culture of the company surely should have evolved radically over 3 decades

I didn't claim anything counter to that. I can cook plenty of tasty vegan food. But if I go out there's not much left in my country to eat. You have to go to a handful of specialized vegan restaurants in the city to have even somewhat a choice. Otherwise it's fries or noodles with tomato sauce, which personally I wouldn't consider a meal.

That it's better in Canada? Great. I believe you, but I've travelled a lot, and I haven't seen many places that have such a variety of vegan food as USA and Canada.

Most of Europe is very meat heavy, vegetarian is still easy, vegan is picky eating. In East Asia there are vegan options, but often tasteless, because they're meant for Buddhist monks. Otherwise even vegetarian is somewhat difficult.

In India vegetarian is easier than meat, especially considering food safety. Had 0 gastric issues with vegetarian food, while one bad piece of meat almost ended the trip for a friend of mine. But a lot of dishes have butter and milk, so vegan again is difficult.

I'm really not saying it's difficult to cook great vegan food, just that it limits your ability to eat outside in most of the world, which probably influences average BMI more than the diet itself.
Most listed there are even smaller, 224×224px. These are models for Coral, though, right? It also says "These are not production-quality models; they are for demonstration purposes only."; the resolution may be part of the reason for that.

What they can exploit depends on what's in Boeing's emails, and their existing relationship with MS. They might have seen internal communications about the problems Boeing had recently and used that information to guide investment decisions.

Maybe Microsoft used the information found in outlook to tailor their product offering and craft their sales pitch when convincing Boeing to buy into their cloud services and AI tech (https://news.microsoft.com/2022/04/06/boeing-and-microsoft-d...). Perhaps Microsoft found and leveraged detailed information on Boeing's finances and IT budget which allowed them to set a price much higher than they would have for those services. The more you know about a company and their situation the more leverage you'll have in a negotiation.

Just because MS isn't making airlines doesn't mean that they aren't able to abuse the data they collect for their own profit at Boeing's expense.

Is it more reasonable to understand this as:

a. Private Equity is running out of cheap sources of money, so it is resorting to risky high interest sources.

b. Private Equity sees a lot of present opportunity and are willing to take on even high interest debt because there are clear opportunities for higher interest returns.

c. Private Equity got into the pantry and their risk appetite is all messed up and self-destructive

One reason I think not given enough weight is that it is now acceptable to do layoffs. These huge companies accrue a ton of dead weight and dead-end projects that they would love to flush routinely, but 5 years ago their stock prices would halve if they suddenly laid off 10% of their work force because of bad optics. Now it has become acceptable for all the various reasons so any company that wants to clean house is going to clean house.
If they're assigned to the same room as the lights there shouldn't be, but check in the (awful) app which of your Alexa devices picked up your voice.

Agreed, not exact, but as a grizzled old man it still astounds me the number of people I meet that don’t know Nothing Compares 2 U was written by Prince, and also (though not necessarily intersecting) those who don’t know Killing Me Softly isn’t an original Fugees track. I suppose it only bothers me because people just don’t seem to care about the history of things?
I got the impression that she was a new hire (3 months minus holidays, but maybe I misheard?).

But it is clear from the video that this is a mass layoff, not firing an individual based on her performance. So my question is, why are they pretending this is about performance?

Does this make any difference for the severance package and unemployment?
Re "it is a lisp" and "everything is an expression", I would like to add a bit of clarification.Or, given that you use Mathematica regularly while I was just reading surface docs (for purposes of doing some stuff with Wolfram Alpha), rather a question if my perspective is well-founded.

Based on my understanding of how expression evaluation works, the slightly more revealing statements would be "it is a lot of lisp macros" and "everything is an s-expression". Which means, a big mess. Let me expand:

As a functional programmer, "everything is an expression" sounds comforting, and I would expect there are clear transformation rules on how expressions are evaluated (and, maaybe, type signatures).

Instead, what you get is, "you can throw in some random form of expressions into this function, and it will do something with them". As in, it takes an AST input, and transforms them in some loosely specified way. There doesn't seem to be a type system, so you don't have types to guide you, rather you likely need to figure what kind of expressions work with which functions.

Now, if I'm wrong about this, and the functions behave consistently in what they take and how they transform it, then I'm more than open to be corrected. It is just that my high expectations (based on marketing of the lang) and the subsequent realization left me a bit bitter.
For the first two the answer is clearly yes, but the things are useful/enjoyable.

By 2030, businesses globally could face a staggering loss of $8.4 trillion in potential revenue due to the shortage of skilled professionals. In 2023, the quest for specialized software development expertise isn't confined by location anymore.

Recent data from Pew Research Center reveals that 35% of professionals in roles conducive to remote work opt for full-time remote positions. According to Upwork, 73% of companies are projected to adopt distributed teams by 2028. In fact, as of 2021, 60% of tech companies worldwide have begun outsourcing parts of their projects to external specialists. World-known enterprises such as Google, Opera, and Apple outsource to entrust their development processes to distributed engineering teams.

This encourages the question: What exactly are distributed teams? And how can you efficiently hire, expand, and oversee such a team?

What you say is not correct.

Only linking with a GPL library makes GPL applicable to the whole program.

This is the difference between LGPL and GPL. LGPL is a normal license that applies only to the library.

Since glibc uses LGPL, if your theory had been true than almost all programs run on a Linux system, regardless of their origin, would have been covered by LGPL.
Kiddie Academy struck me as ~3rd/4th tier when I was looking at daycares - it was way down my list.

My kids went to a small local chain where some of the teachers have been with it since it was founded in the 90s, almost 30 years ago. Average tenure was like 10-15 years. Unfortunately they got bought by Bright Horizons last year, and have lost 4 teachers since the school year began (although luckily it's that 4 teachers have rotated into the 2 spots vacated, not that they lost 4 veteran teachers).
This looks really nice. You say you record the number of times a command was executed. I'm currently using FZF for ctrl-r search, and it's amazing, but one thing that bothers me is that I have some commands that I search for and use quite often, but then I don't need them for a while, they vanish from my history, and then I need them again.

Would the internal database of McFly keep often searched for commands from the past, even though they're out of the bash history?

I think you're confused. The future predictions that you all listed are right. No one promised them to you this year. The subsidies exist to support the market until the market can support itself. Taking on those kinds of costs is one one of the intrinsic functions (and reasons to exist) of a government.

There were certainly mistakes (e.g., not supervising VW properly when they went full DGAF on the electricify america rollout).

The parent is saying they still believe in the analysis that electric will work, they just spent their whole comment criticizing their EV experience.

Ah, the new attack line.

The cost for me to go in, on top of the lost time (it will add about 3 hrs to my working day), means the promotion I MIGHT get will probably not cover it - but the lost time with my family and my fitness will be forever gone. And my company has saved a lot by missing pay rises which people have accepted due to the ‘benefits’ of remote work.

I will stick to remote work for the time being - but in future I might be open to hybrid, for significant more money.
Layoffs often indicate lack of growth - might be harder to grow professionally, or get promoted.

Also saving money on hiring often means saving money in general and elsewhere too, worsening quality of life.

In particular projects can get canceled, priorities shifted, grind increased, privileges revoked, remote work banned, etc.

People who have the option to leave might do just that.

I enjoyed using Mathematica at work and grew quite fond of it. After the project concluded, I was keen to continue using it for personal projects, so I invested in the "Home" edition. Although it was not inexpensive, I quickly discovered it had certain limitations, such as a restricted number of computational kernels. There was also a limitation on how many personal computers I could use it on (even one at a time!). Another annoyance was the license manager, which required an internet connection – so I wasn't able to use it on an international flight (this was a while ago). I once suggested that a company I worked for should adopt it, but the license cost was prohibitively high, at over $3,000 per user.

To sum up, it's a great tool, but you'll need to invest considerable time to master it. Then there's the risk that this time could be wasted due to its expense.
LGPL is a regular license, it is not a viral license.

GPL is a viral license.

The GNU glibc uses LGPL and almost any program run on a Linux system uses glibc, regardless in what programming language it has been written, at least for the system calls. If LGPL had been a viral license too, all programs would have been affected.
I'm in the camp that believes Pixar quality has fallen, and I'm not surprised at the recent losses (COVID or not).

Onward -- what a mess. The movie about walking pants. I could feel the churn of many story drafts they went through. It was a cool world and character designs, but the overall story just didn't land.

Soul -- full of emotion and beautiful, but didn't quite nail it. The pre-birth world has echoes of Inside Out, but not nearly as well-conveyed. In fact, the abstract art representations were a bit on the nose, and a rare case where I was too aware that these were ideations from the Pixar story team in the Pixar story room. Overall it had many wonderful sequences. But the main character journey was kind of odd. Joe loved music and it certainly seemed to be his source of happiness. But his lesson was that music wasn't necessarily his purpose and he should focus more on what makes him happy. ?

Luca -- adorable, but unambitious. The undersea world was so empty!

Turning Red -- ugh. What exactly was the character development? She is announced in the very first sequence as a confident individualist, and then her panda-journey teaches her to be... a confident individualist. Did no one notice this? Also, I'm bothered by the hubris of a first-time writer-director making the main character (and locale, and the time period) exactly themselves. I suppose if you need your stories to be biographical you can get away with it once, but it's poor form IMHO.
I wonder if the license was the actual reason for the ban, or some shenanigans like this article, trying to sneak in ads somewhwere.

> there's a reason vegans have to bend over backwards to meet their nutritional needs.

Having consumed a plant-based diet for the last nearly 30 years, I'm surprised to hear this. Despite not bending over backwards to prepare my meals, my blood lipids and glucose are normal, my measured cardiovascular performance is excellent for age and I have stable to slightly increasing muscle mass. I have no chronic disease and am cognitively unimpaired. While I don't watch omnivores seek out or prepare their food - at least not that closely - I don't think I spend much more effort in the process.

> it's not how we evolved

We also evolved under very different conditions than those that prevail today. While adhering to the dietary practices that existed in early human development should we also deliberately simulate the conditions that selected for survival? Conditions of extreme scarcity, unpredictable food supply and prevalent hunger would have been typical.

It's a mistake, I think, to regard the results of natural selection as absolute best and only possible outcome; they point solely to relative fitness for survival _under the conditions in which those adaptations arose._ Change the prevalent conditions; and it's anyone's guess as to the effect of those adaptations.

I would agree that the discussion on EVs is a bit misguided in general. It always is EVs or ICE cars and EVs must be the winner otherwise you are "confused" or "out of your mind". In reality, both can coexist and have a place for what they are really good at.
