This comes up every time a company’s employees is listed, in the software world.

If someone mentions that Walmart employs more people than the US Military, nobody blinks an eye. We can “Richard Scarry” imagine what they are doing, because there are lots of stores and we see what they do. (Reference: https://www.comicsbeat.com/if-your-job-wasnt-performed-by-a-... )

But a company like eBay or Google; we only see a website and can’t imagine what they’re doing. And Xitter continuing to not be completely on fire lends to this.

What do those balls of employees do? Sales, marketing, localization, etc. You can get some 50-80% of the total with a smallish group, but to get it all you need more and more people. And then you need management on top to keep everything moving. At some point it turns from “what do we need to do X” and becomes “do we get more revenue from this hire than it costs”.

That 'obfuscation' though is showing you the cheapest product+shipping price by default, even if Amazon-as-seller is not it (and is one of the slightly hidden more expensive ones).

Fair enough if you want the available sellers to be clearer, I'm just saying I think there's only good intentions there.

Looking on Google the closest I can find to your claim is the NTSB chair saying it might not be related after she gave out the details of the previous warning lights (as you'd expect in her position before the investigation has completed).
That sounds like a great increase in productivity.

But also you're making the mistake of extrapolating against the realities of the techniques.

Things may improve over time but prompts and random seeds aren't great for detailed work, so there are limitations which seriously limit the usefulness. "Everyone will be able to make it" is likely true, but the specialist stuff will likely remain and those users will likely be made more productive. It's those in the middle that will lose out.

That an industry is destroyed is neither here nor there. Sucks to have your business/job taken away but that's how the system works. That which created your business also will destroy it.
The founders are never part of the layoffs.
I'll happily join the group of people you consider "bad" mostly because, you're a giant jackass. I'd hate to be considered a "good" person by you.
That's what I meant by standalone indeed.
This explains why some of them have missing information. Such as this one:

Instead of freaking out about AI, we should start building companies to replace the old guard using AI tools to untangle the mess.

The problem is funding but I'm sure reasonable business plans will find seed money from more traditional investors instead of VC gamblers. Maybe even self-finance with clients.
This person clearly did no research into the requirements to run a ubiquity device.

You aren't. They're only caught in special cases, e.g. if a thread panics and you want to propagate that to other threads, to catch panics in unit tests, to avoid unwinding across FFI, etc.

You shouldn't use them as a general exception mechanism. They aren't the same, even if under the hood they both use stack unwinding.
AI's next fight is over whose values it should hold
Tesla software has such a large surface area to attack compared to traditional OEMs where most subsystems are effectively air gapped.

It’s their advantage when it comes to coordinated user experience, but might become a problem as the fleet size increases and becomes a more valuable hacking target.

I could see security becoming a bigger part of CarPlay/Android auto’s pitch to OEMs.
When we had to register the ownership transfer of our family home, despite taking YEARS to prepare the documents, the notary hadn't even bothered to look up the name of the street on google maps and wrote the wrong name on the contract. So we had to waste 1h just to fix that.

They get paid in % of the value of the property being transferred, and can't even spend 2 minutes to write the name of the correct street.
This is unfortunately common when cost and schedule take priority. Quality can be seen as an unnecessary cost that delays delivery, particularly when dealing with low-probability events. When the probability is low, you can roll the dice many times without consequence and convince yourself you're good rather than just lucky.

I agree that 4 MB is bad, but I felt 400 KB is fine given all circumstances.

If Rust really wants to minimize any overhead in spite of the necessity of backtrace supports, there are indeed many ways to minimize the cold section of executable. Even a simple compression will work---especially given that we already have a copy of miniz-oxide there! So try that if you are motivated, and I would more than welcome that effort, but Rust has way, way more important things to do than that.
This is disingenuous to the point of being insulting.

Their modus operandi is to be the social-development hub of as many projects as they can, and they are successful.

Their platform has lock-in and network effects that you must acknowledge, often being the only bug-tracker available, only mechanism to submit patches and often being the only source of truth for a given repository of code.

Unless you're going to tell me that a private company can do what it likes, in which case I will reignite efforts to put FOSS on FOSS platforms. If Github wants to hold it's market position (made precarious based on their owners and fact that it's backend is closed-source) then they will have to keep good-will.
I would be inclined not to. IMO GraphQL is great when you have a frontend team that wants to make changes without requiring a new backend build. If your team isn't structured that way (i.e. you have full stack devs and/or very frequent, low overhead backend releases), or the nature of the changes is that they frequently don't require backend changes anyway, then I would just stick with REST.
This is absolutely unbelievable. Truly impressive.

I felt like this was maybe 5-10 years away.
AI is a buzzword that allows the layoffs to happen. I’ve yet to see any serious affect from actual AI beyond broken chat bots.

If they didn’t want to do layoffs, they’d be arguing that AI is allowing them to hire more and get more business.

So he linked another article talking about how they removed his tongue: https://jakeseliger.com/2023/09/09/life-swallowing-tasting-a...

> The surgery left my wife, Bess (we’d married the night of May 24, hours after learning that our surgeon had opened a slot on the 25th), in a panic

Wow. So he got married the day before he got his tongue removed.

I think her perspective is definitely interesting too:

> The second, “salvage” surgery lasted twelve hours. Around hour ten, I started to wonder if Jake wasn’t ever getting off the table. When Dr. Hinni finally called me in to tell me they were able to remove all the cancer, I was elated. He got what surgeons call “clean margins.” Then Dr. Hinni explained that, because the cancer had grown in the short time between the April scans and May surgery, he’d had to remove Jake’s entire tongue, not just half—and with it, Jake’s ability to speak, to swallow, to taste—and the relief was replaced by horror. I blacked out for a moment. Jake wouldn’t want this. I walked into the hot night air and hyperventilated in the parking lot. We hadn’t even considered the possibility that Jake might lose his entire tongue. I wondered what I would have done if Dr. Hinni had called me with an update and asked me if they should move forward with the removal? I threw up in the parking lot and felt sick relief that they hadn’t.

Do doctors usually ask family members about that sort of thing? Seems like he should have had a prior directive just in case, but idk.

> I spent the first night in the hospital sitting awake at Jake’s bedside, certain that he’d decide to die after learning the news. He didn’t want to live like this. It seemed entirely possible to me that he would just decide not to.

This is important information, because I think most people wouldn't be considering right away unless there was already some level of suicidal or deppressive attitudes in a person.
Many plants produce caffeine besides coffea arabica and coffea robusta: yerba mate, guarana, tea plant, kola nut, et cetera. We can resort to other plants to fuel our caffeine addiction.
Overpass syntax is one of those things that I just read the documentation for every single time I have to do it. Last time I used it things like ChatGPT didn't exist yet though, so I'll probably use it from now on if I ever have to write an overpass query
dpScreenOCR – a cross-platform OCR tool
dpScreenOCR is a free, open-source, and cross-platform optical character recognition tool with support for more than 100 languages.

dpScreenOCR works is like this: you select an area on the screen using a keyboard shortcut, and then text from that area is extracted and, depending on your choice, can be copied to the clipboard, saved to the history, or sent to another application (e.g. dictionary/translator). In most cases, you don't even have to interact with the GUI, and the program can reside in the system tray.

The biggest changes since the program (v1.1.0) was mentioned in HN[1] in 2022 include:

* Added a language manager that allows you to install and remove languages without leaving the application. Previously, you had to manually download the language files and place them in special directories.

* Added a stand-alone GNU/Linux bundle (in a TAR.XZ archive), which should work even on legacy systems released in around mid-2014 or later (tested on Ubuntu 14.04).

* Fixed recognition with vertical variants of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

* Added proper selection rectangle scaling according to the screen DPI. The width of the rectangle can now also be configured (as requested by @Lakuma in [1] :).

* Thanks to contributors, the website has been translated into several languages. Some languages are still to be added, so help with translation would be greatly appreciated: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/dpscreenocr/

The full list of changes since v1.1.0 can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danpla/dpscreenocr/v1.4.1/...

When I started my first PM role, I was lucky enough to work for a boss/mentor who had the same mindset. As a dev for most of my career before moving into PM, it made sense to me:

“If things go well, dev team gets the credit. If things go poorly, PM takes the blame”.

This is fundamental to building trust with the dev team and gaining the respect of leadership.

This made it possible to guide the product in directions the dev team wasn’t immediately comfortable with, because they knew it was my ass on the line. And when those decisions led to good outcomes, it further reinforced the trust relationship.

I haven’t countered many PMs who live by this, but it sure makes a big difference.

Have you done that test? You really see no difference between two very different beans using different preparation methods?

To your question. I think that’s where the economic incentives for creating and selling different variations are.

Tea also, but tea gets it from different plants.

I can taste differences in hot chocolates, btw, solid bar chocolates too. Hershey’s milk chocolate bars in the US are horrible to my taste. Any brand milk chocolate bar where I live (Brazil), tastes much better. Even the supermarket cheap ones. But more fancy chocolate bars do taste different.

In my case, a cheap chocolate bar (that is not US Hersheys) is good enough for me, so I don’t care about the fancier ones. But they do taste different.

Edit: I do believe there are marketing and status incentives to make a big deal about the difference in this high-end stuff and there is a game of “pantomime” in place as you say. Definitely is there. It just isn’t a 100% “emperor has no clothes” situation.

That’s the scenario for “high-end bottled water” in my opinion. They all taste the same and is 100% marketing
Industry Insiders' Predictions About IT Careers in 2024
I would go even a bit further. For a good consensus to be had, everyone that cares to should have the opportunity to share their opinion and defend it, to provide stakeholders all the viable options. The "consensus" then isn't that we all agree on the "right" option, but that we all agree that the person in charge, after evaluating the options, makes the final decision and we all move forward with that plan without taking any disagreements personally or getting angry if your option wasn't selected.

I'm lucky enough to work in such a team, and it's been fantastic.
They are clearly in the arena trying things.
Different non-fortified, non-dessert still red wines using different grapes taste about as different as raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant (cassis) and blackberry juices taste from each other. They're all recognizably wine, but the fruit flavours, tannin, acidity, sweetness, oak and mouthfeel varies quite a bit.

Cheap house wine from an open bottle at a bar or restaurant without a wine list can taste pretty similar between bottles. These wines are typically industrial product made in large vats where the wine itself, excluding taxes and everything else, costs a fraction of a dollar. If the bottle has been open for a day, the wine loses most fruit flavours, and structurally cheap wine is pretty similar - not very tannic (it's not usually a crowd pleaser), probably has added sugar.
Would debug symbols ever be loaded into CPU cache? They'd be in RAM, sure. But why would the CPU ever load them into cache? The way I'm imagining this, and I could be wrong, is that the debug symbols are to one end of the binary. They wouldn't be loaded into cache unless they're going to be used imminently.

Another way of saying this is that the change to strip automatically is a small win for for disk space and RAM consumption, but I don't think it's going to improve performance dramatically? I could be wrong about this though.
I'm using Debian Testing with KDE, after using Ubuntu with KDE, and it's basically just some lack of polish, and I also sometimes miss the PPAs. (I understand that it's technically possible to use software from Ubuntu PPAs in Debian, but as I'm getting older, I prefer officially supported ways of doing things, so that I can stay on the happy path as much as possible.)

So all in all, not much of a hurt, for me at least. My home server integrations, my software and my games work just as well.
Unfortunately it's the designers that are screwing up the UI/UX of Windows, not the programmers. If you give more time to the designers then you're just going to get more of a clone of OSX rather than something useful.
It definitely played its role in high lighting what most functionish coders already knew: that map/filter/reduce is an awesome model for data processing pipelines.
I am 100% sure there are much important issues right now and I sympathize with the lack of bandwidth. The one thing I am claiming is that some lower-hanging fruit (if it is indeed that; might be super complex in fact) carries a significant positive public relations / image potential which should IMO be picked / harvested.

(EDIT: I am talking about the `build-std` work here, not the default strip debug info flag.)

It's a really nice idea and very good to see a familiar and simple interface, I'm definitely keen to look at this when I'm "idling"!

Two suggestions that I don't think have been mentioned:

1. It might be nice to at least acknowledge the source of the problems PDF-wise, no doubt somebody put effort into developing then and the supplementary information (assuming the PDFs are open source) would be useful for learning

2. Supporting information for learning the context subject material around the problem would be good: this relates to other comments about curation. This doesn't feel like "teach yourself math" so much as "test your math", which is still really helpful, but if you don't know the material there's nowhere to turn too

Anything involving juveniles and family law is a magnet for psychopaths because the cases are sealed and basically impossible for the public to monitor for abuse. If you look at any secret government system like this it inevitably becomes a den for the most vile of parasites who thrive in darkness.

The naive front, is this secrecy is in the 'interest of the children' (meme.jpg), and thus they haven't a right to public adjudication. Corrupt judges salivate for the proceeds of that.
