I suppose every layoff is different, but they are not completely random. There are many factors involved, performance can be one of them. My assumption is that leaders craft some query on the employees list and tweak parameters until they get the right number of people to lay off.

Secret Note Found Hidden in Victorian Dress Is Finally Solved
As a parent, Discord is the number 1 threat to my children. I gave them the whole "stranger danger" talk, and I regularly check in to see if anyone is harassing them. My kids are honest and my 14 year old has gotten multiple people asking for inappropriate photos in one of the Fortnite server (not sure if it's an official one?).

I don't want to ostracize them, since they use it for playing games with their friends in private servers. Actually another parent I know specifically admins his own kids server and only lets them communicate with their friends via that server.

That's not a good way to think about income because people live in households, and the median income of all individuals includes people who aren't expected to contribute to the household income like children.
Yeah I hate how the wierd basement dwellers are telling us how to handle our mental health. 99% of humans are not basement dwellers who don't like seeing people. People are becoming more socially awkward because our society is forgetting the fundamental social nature of human beings. So maybe some people think they like it. But the statistics don't lie - mental health is going off a fucking cliff. We're not meant to live like this. There are a few basement dwellers who are really that introverted, and there are some people who just have commutes that are THAT BAD (and that's bad town planning), but most people benefit from being outside our house for large portions of the week and having most of our communication being face to face. And that's just a fact.
I'm not sure what you mean by tunable. The filtering is a prompt that returns the filtered comments in JSON format. So, if you mean using different parameters for choosing what comments to filter. That can be done.

two over the course of years. We were dropping 90,000 lines of code on

Oauth isn't that hard to implement. It requires a WebView as part of the setup process, but after that the mail app just needs to store a token as a password and it'll keep working.

Oauth for email is part of the various RFCs pertaining to email authentication and has been around for years.

Thunderbird and various mobile apps support Gmail just fine using Oauth. I think the bigger problem is that many desktop apps seem to have stopped implementing changes to IMAP and SMTP about ten years ago.

If you have an email app that's no longer maintained, use app passwords (generated per-app passwords), like Google is indicating in the linked article. Those will still work. It's just the hardcoded username/password for the main account that's going away.

This will be a major pain for the Office 2016 users, as 30 september is still about nine months before their Outlook goes out of support, but for most users this will be quite a easy fix.
I don't think that really exists -- the cars either don't have the connectivity, or it's relatively modern (4G+). For the older cars we had to use dongles, which in some cases were even 2G.
> YOUR SON DOES NOT WANT TO LEARN TO CODE (right now)

This. 100% this.

Take this as a chance to show him that he can build things, the way he wants it. Make an effort and let him see it. Give him a taste for it. There's wisdom in that quote about longing for the vastness of the sea to make good sailors.

There will be joys in small wins. It will surely never complete. But he and you both will cherish the wild imagination that comes with something like this.

Bro nobody is spending 100% of their time being productive. we have to have transitional time. time going from one place to another is a net benefit because living in one box is anti-human. for me the cost of the time is so so worth it because i feel so much better seeing my colleagues in person. i become a shell of myself if i don't leave the house so losing the time is something i'm very okay with. its such a small amount of time to make my life 200x better.

> complaints about Java being bloated in the 2000s.

It's bloated in the 2023s too. Last year I caught Android Studio (which I wasn't even using at the moment, just had it open from a quickie fix a few days ago) going over 4 Gb of ram. I had two projects open, under 20k lines of code total (ok, maybe I should count again).

But why bring Java in? We're talking about native applications vs applications that pull in a copy of Chrome and half of the npm registry. Java isn't native either.

Back in school in 2004, I had to make a choice: go into quantitative finance, the stuff was piping hot, and people there made a lot of money OR follow my interest in AI/neural nets, possibly not making much.

I chose finance, then the crises kept hitting. I don't regret it, because I'm still very employable and I did make some money. But to me it's a bit of a missed opportunity.

The point is: don't look at what is hype now, look at what could be good in a few years. My guess is that the next huge thing is robotics.

They may be experts, but you sure aren't hiring them. You are renting something from them.
I don't think it's contradictory. There was an amazing ROI for a long time, so I think it was a very successful strategy early on. It's just clear that as the founders retired and more MBAs got a hold of upper management positions the first thing that happened was that the employee psychological safety was slowly eroded. Did you know that Pichai started his career at Mckinsey? That place is all about making safe choices that erode a companies future to improve short term profits.
Is there an opposite to monoropism? To use your "take a walk" example, when I take a walk I end up mentally and emotionally exhausted, having been hyperaware of too much data during my walk. Examples would be the sounds of traffic, snippets of conversation, the color of bricks of buildings, bird nest locations, the unnatural mix of smells. My walks happen in an urban environment, obviously, but you get the idea. I feel flooded.

There is also something specific happening with the way my brain processes sound. When I go to dinner with my wife, for example, I can hear and can't help but focus on every conversation happening in the room, making it difficult to stay focused on my wife (she is blessedly understanding about this because she can see that I am in slight distress if I am not wearing my attenuating earplugs). I describe it to people as being akin to all sound in a given space "coming in at the same volume" which is not what is actually happening, but gets the idea across. This happens while still taking in too much visual info too, but sound definitely dominates me.

I've approached two doctors about this, but they seem quite clueless. I was diagnosed with GAD about 14 years ago, and the last doc chalked it up to that and sent me to a psych who wanted me on an SSRI after only 20 minutes of speaking to me, a drug that has done very little to improve this condition in the past.

I work in a field that requires earplugs (or good earbuds) basically all the time, so thankfully those help me cope. It's not debilitating, I can still function out in public in a limited-engagement capacity, but I have a plan ahead for hours, sometimes days of decompression because of this sensory overload.
We recently followed an almost identical upgrade path (however at the time PG16 wasn't yet supported by Timescale, so stopped at PG15 + TS 2.12).

We did look into using logical replication to reduce the downtime of the upgrade, but because database schema and DDL commands aren't replicated, it seems that it isn't recommended with Timescale in the loop.. (I suppose the underlying schema changes that Timescale needs to make under the hood are mostly a function of your hypertable chunk sizing and what your incoming writes look like, so this could be planned around / timed well, but we felt it added too much potential complexity & risk compared to simply opting for a small maintenance window while pg_upgrade completed).
It's my sincere belief, if you think differently then we can agree to disagree. For myself, I've never done a selfless act. All my so-called selfless compassion has ultimately been selfishly motivated. Therefore I can't judge the father for keeping his son alive.

Complaining about the advertisers leaving X is true "leopards ate my face".

Politics has been a significant part of Twitter's success, driving relevance & audience size. Politics was fuel for growth and Twitter was influential partially because of it's openness. The moderation was there because being a relatively balanced & hate free spare without too much controversy was essential for the majority of advertisers.

To reverse those parameters and turn it into a walled garden of Musk-like right wing edge lords that increasingly promotes right wing edge lord content that significantly reduces its safety for advertisers and then complaining that it's purely down to other people making the advertisers flee requires some major cognitive dissonance or a very blinkered world view.

Musk's aim for X.com is to make it an everything app, which is obviously impossible if it does not appeal to almost everyone. As an owner he has every right to make it into a smaller, politically homogeneous message board but he shouldn't simultaneously complain about the very obvious & easily predicted effects of that.

I think it's the crazyiness of this era. We expect people to be either "100% good" or "100% bad".

Of course we, as a society and as individuals, are (unsurprisingly) deeply surprised when we find out somebody we like isn't "100% good" and can't accept that somebody we don't like isn't "100% bad".

[edit: this is not 100% related to Hans Reiser, of course, more on a general tangent].

The word 'house' is doing a lot of illicit work in your metaphor. A better analogy would be if a bunch of families had decided to install CCTV cameras, then got their neighbor Garry to watch them.

Unbeknownst to them, Garry was storing the tapes a lot longer than anybody imagined, was pointing the cameras so they looked into people's bedrooms, and he was selling some metadata to third parties, and he also kept the key to his house in a plant pot by the door.

Some teenagers messing around, find the key, and have a look around.

Suddenly, it's the teenager, not Garry, who's the problem here. That's how data breaches work at the moment. And because it's Garry's 'house', we all think of the company as the victim.
The concept of a daily "stand-up" is that the team gets aligned with each other. Unfortunately it's mostly implemented via the famous 3 questions. This, along with a task board, essentially leads the meeting to be a status update. This is less helpful because team members become focused on just their own update. After 5 - 10 years of daily stand-ups, it gets pretty tedious.

Your idea sounds like a retrospective but done daily. I think the benefit of retrospectives are that there's time to see the impact of things and learn from them. Daily is too often.
