What's causing all these layoffs? Like, it's all I read in my feeds these days! Economic downturn or something more novel, like AI replacing jobs?

Apps like Procreate have sold a lot of iPads to artists who use them for “real work”, as has the Sidecar capability which lets an iPad and Apple Pencil act like a Cintiq with a better screen that’s not desk-bound.

It’s true that they’re limited but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t work that’s well-suited for them.

I do that, too, for the reason you describe, except instead of shell mode, I use a mode I wrote myself.
Moving countries may be desirable but it comes with its own set of issues--that may become bigger as you get older. There are plenty of less expensive areas in the states although they may not have the climate and other features you prefer.
Slack is just as bad in the browser. My internet was slow the other day and Slack took a minute to load. I opened up the network inspector to see what was going on and one of many things I discovered is that their vendor.js file is over 20MB.

That could just be an initial limitation of technology, though. The Apple Vision "spatial computing" line could move to glasses eventually.

That said, I think the "you're looking at a digital reconstruction of the world" aspect pretty interesting since it means, in principle, everything can be changed as you'd like. Why not turn day to night, night to day, redecorate, block out ads on billboards, re-paint your house, hang paintings, add an extra window to your wall, etc?
Open Access Necrobotics: Biotic Materials as Ready-to-Use Actuators
This is a yes-and situation (that is, the issues are orthogonal). There are several similar stories where firearms access is not a factor (Amanda Todd is one of the most well-known, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd). Various social media networks are implicated as factors.
Good architecture. Which isn't a c++ feature, but data races are not a big problem in my system because our architecture makes this easy. (We use qt signals/slots for cross thread messages)
I don't think it confirms that. It seems to be one of the popular theories they investigated. Later they say -

"In both field and lab conditions, insects rarely head directly towards, but consistently fly orthogonal to the light source. This refutes the fundamental premise of an escape response."

"An insect should keep a light source at a fixed visual location for maintaining its heading. Switching light position (Supplementary Fig. 5) shows that insects readily hold the light source on either side of the body."

It makes sense to me. Imagine you were an insect and you would use the moon for navigation. Would you really be flying directly towards moon? No, right? Then how could someone think that insects flying directly towards artificial light source is the basis for the theory that insects use moon as navigational aid?
Mentour Pilot on YouTube, fabulous channel BTW, talks about the Swiss Cheese Model.

I’ve started to use this model when talking about software testing.

Unit tests, integration tests, functional tests, UAT, etc are all layers that help prevent defects from reaching production.

Those testing layers are deliberately redundant.

When we do a postmortem on a defect, it often turns out there was only one layer of testing between the defect and production and the incident would have been less likely to occur with multiple layers in place.

If we're building ad creatives for a senior marketing manager at a specific company, what do we want to say to them or show them that is hyper-personalized and relevant for their specific role? Less broad, more targeted.

Here's an overview of a window into the possibilities of using Primer for targeting and personalization in your ad creative and ad copy.

Watch as our Growth Strategist Jonah walks us through his thinking about using your audience construction in ad creative so that the ad will only be shown to a specific role, at a specific company -but across multiple channels.

Rigid, uncaring administrative bodies can often end up being bullies too.
It is VR, though.

Sure, Apple built the headset so that it mimics AR devices, but it definitely is not one itself.

The technology to build an AR device with the capabilities that Apple boasted is simply not here yet. I'm sure that Apple top-talent is hard at work trying to break the barrier (if it didn't yet), but that'll be for a future version, just not this one.
People don't wear those all day. A scenario where people have cameras on their face all day yields a totally different kind of ability to capture serendipitious moments, etc. That's not to say this value proposition is high enough to warrant it, or that we should expect this technology to actually succeed mass adoption, but it is not the same value proposition as what you're talking about.
You eventually get used to either, I suppose.
You can just build. Perhaps the "never lived lavishly, no reason to begin" attitude would have hepled.

The dotcom boom definitely included decent wages but it wasn’t anywhere near as pronounced - lawyers and doctors weren’t trying to become software developers. A few people made a lot of money on stock options but that was usually the owners rather than the developers, and a bunch of people really weren’t even making more than boring corporate jobs when adjusted for the number of hours they were working at burnout.com.

Pretty soon anyone will be able to download a pornifyer for personal use, and it will be completely legal to use as long as they don't publish the results. The non-consensual pornography Armageddon is greatly exaggerated, nobody will care about such "creations", it will be just another dual use technology.
I'm not sure how Apple can make watching movies in VR that much better than they are already on the Quest series and other existing VR headsets. And as you noted it doesn't seem to be a popular use for those devices. Maybe the higher resolution on Apple's headset will win people over?
I see the calling an undefined prototype style more often, perhaps for this reason. You are probably right this is undefined behavior, but it's subtle. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11962457/why-is-using-an...

> Interest rates had been rock bottom since the 2008 crisis

Exactly. So we had ~14ish years of effectively 0% interest rates. That's never happened before in history. Now that we're going back to normal rates, we're discovering that some things we did when rates were 0 aren't actually feasible anymore.

That's what ZIRP is. It's a decade and a half of 0% coming to an end.
I would wager the few extra bucks I have that a majority of renters don't have $500 in monthly discretionary funds to cut back. Saving even a couple hundred is a matter of eliminating non-pirated entertainment (if one hasn't already), significantly modifying one's diet (not simply switching to cheaper brands, but changing grocery stores, changing food, reducing meal sizes and counts, and (I've heard, in some extreme cases) limited shoplifting), and having no social life that more affluent family/friends aren't paying for. IME, you are also trying to pick up odd jobs or gig work, selling possessions, and picking non-rent bills to put off.

All this to say: as bad as you think it is, it's worse.

It's way worse
I don't know. From an employee's perspective there's such a long tail of incompetence in tech. I also have doubts about a large chunk of new CS grads who were born with a smartphone in their hands. Software engineering is only continuing to diverge from CS and the lack of startups will impact their ability to get up to speed compared to older millennials who are now mid-career.

If you're used to being the smartest person in the room, or at least the one with the most guts and speaks their mind, nothing is changing for you. Your career is fine as long as you don't work for a startup (anymore) and have at least 5 years under your belt.

From a business cost perspective running one is now more expensive. Though it's important to remember how cheap it's always been for tech and how cheap it still is. What's more difficult now is that "hockey stick growth", but that was never easy either.

I just gotta shrug here idk.

AI Autocomplete – Shortwave now finishes your sentences
My public defenders appealed two limited issues, one evidentiary and one to do with the government using a drug forfeiture law where no drugs were involved or alleged. There were at least sixteen better grounds (most involving their own ineffective assistance).

The 10th circuit hearing was one of the first audio recorded and made publicly available on the website and indicate just how moronic the panel was. They denied the appeal in part and remanded the part of about the drug forfeiture back because they couldn't make sense of it. I fired my counsel and got assigned another mercenary attorney to reargue the forfeiture bit two years later. Supreme court flushed the case, as they do most.

In the interim while at large I filed a habeas action (2255) within the scope of the court's own rules and they deliberately disregarded their own rules in order to deny it unless it was limited to 1/10 of its original length. Appealing that matter was fruitless, so rather than being left without options I filed an abridged version.

On the day of self-surrender, I traveled to Vermont to file a habeas action (2241) in custody of the D.Vt. within the second circuit, which had a reputation for being less corrupt (not less enough, unfortunately).

2241 got denied because by the time the judge got reassigned I had been moved into the ambit of the first circuit and thus they tossed the case (I was moved back into the second circuit shortly thereafter).

2255 got denied by the trial judge, of course. Quite a few years later the 10th circuit flushed it by ignoring half of it and deliberately misstating facts and misinterpreting facts and pointing to procedural incantations present within my original briefing but not within the 1/10 length I was illegally limited to.

Oh yes, that mercenary attorney I fired later too, but not before I went to watch her argue. She argued well, but pearls before swine. Later that day, on the Southwest flight home, I sat next to the 10th circuit judge on both cases (random coincidence) and asked him if he'd ever met someone whose life he'd ruined with one of his rulings, and now he had. As soon as we landed this 70-something old man ran off the plane faster than anyone I've ever seen, and went to tattle to the secret service to get me in trouble (though I did not threaten or attack him), but afterward, wouldn't recuse himself from the case, for which his vote was the deciding vote, 2-1 against me. The rest of the circuit gave him a pass for his ex parte conversation with me.

The amount of daylight between circuit court judges and gangsters (and I've come to know both) is far smaller than most Americans could possibly comprehend.

There are always more appeals I could file. Until they get an attitude adjustment from mounting public or political pressure on the judiciary, it's wasted effort for now. Americans are quick to outrage but easy to distract and sedate.

As to how they're different, I don't see it. This was a chance for proponents to describe how it's different, but nobody has; they've just said it is. All I see is a group of people begging the government to take away a freedom, instead of allowing parents a choice in how they raise their children.
I was defending crypto. I’m an avid supporter of financial systems outside of government control, and believe we need to implement inclusive financial systems instead of exclusionary (read: kyc) systems.

Unfortunately bitcoin isn’t very anonymous, but other cryptos are.

There are oceans of things they can do about scams and crime. Simple things. Let me offer a few simple examples.

Ex. Using a real time black hole list to kill spam and scam call centers. This is old technology that works and could be easily integrated into existing networks.

Ex 2. Requiring anyone purchasing over a certain dollar amount of gift card to specify the recipient at the point of sale and apply example 1. This would eliminate most gift card scams.

We are very much more capable than people realize of common sense solutions that move the needle and are cheap to implement. However regulators are focused on only large, but much more rare, financial crimes.
I am not confident that 100% of these instances are "some guy in russia". Is it true that these scammers in question were? Or that LEO tracked them down at all? Or did anything meaningful?

I agree that we ask LEOs to enforce the law, and doing so is a lot of work. There is, though, quite a large discrepancy between what we ask them to do, and what they do, so it remains to be seen if they are doing a lot of work, and it remains to be seen if they work they do do, is the work we want them to do, versus the work they want to do (for example, what sort of speed limit enforcement operations do they run? How much do they prosecute simple drug possession?)

I believe opening themselves up freely and willingly to non-LEO oversight and control would do a lot to answer those questions.

> actually encourages recursive methods

Not really.

Lisp has imperative loops which process lists: prog/go, do, dolist, loop for in/on.

Then it has a bunch of higher order functions: mapcar, map, mapc, member, find, remove, delete, every, some, ...

For example this is the equivalent of an early 1960s procedure to map a function over a list for side-effects:

CL-USER 5 > (defun mapc-old (x f)
(prog ((m x))

loop

(when (null m) (return nil))
(funcall f (car m))
(pop m)

(go loop)))
MAPC-OLD

As you can see above, the above uses a PROG providing a local variable M, a tag LOOP, and is using a GO statement to pass control to the position of the LOOP tag.

We can then process a list. Here we print the squares of the elements.

CL-USER 6 > (mapc-old '(1 2 3 4)
(lambda (e)
(print (expt e 2))))

1
4
9
16
NIL

Code using imperative loops to implement higher-order functions were common then. Then with macros one is hiding an imperative loop implementation behind a macro transformer: here the DOLIST macro

CL-USER 12 > (dolist (e '(1 2 3 4))
(print (expt e 2)))

1
4
9
16
NIL

Then one invented complex iteration sub-languages, here the LOOP macro in a tiny example.

CL-USER 17 > (loop for e in '(1 2 3 4)
do (print (expt e 2)))

1
4
9
16
NIL

Any list processing function, which is threatening to create stack overflows (even though some implementations can increase a stack at an stackoverflow error), is best rewritten into a function which does not cause stack overflows. Lisp uses traditionally imperative loop constructs for that. Scheme often uses tail-recursive functions for that.
Oh that one's a lot more to my taste than Dracula is!

It utilizes hubbub push-notifications to deliver information about new videos in RSS format. It is unclear whether it requires the corresponding RSS feed to be operational.

In any case, it just demonstrates the general approach: subscribe to a topic, and receive new events as soon as they happen without polling. The point is that it doesn't require much code: just glue together corresponding APIs.

There really are not plenty of places in the US where you can live a good, urban, non-car-oriented life, and you can tell that is true because the ones which do exist tend to be very expensive, showing that they are in high demand. You clearly do not desire an urban lifestyle, and I won't try to change your mind about that, but those of us who do want urban living generally don't find that our choices are either plentiful or affordable.
