Thanks, sports team fandom is a good example of institutional loyalty.

In this particular case, the analogy is also a little funny, since it could be used or interpreted as a put-down.

Consider "town vs. gown" dynamics, and some movie caricature of Harvard blue blood person, implying that a local (Boston) townie would need a Red Sox analogy, to understand loyalty to the college a person attended.
Surprisingly well at the moment, but I was terrible last year...

I got layer off in January 2023 before I even started my role with Avanade. I quit my job at a mining startup (which recently got bought for 45mil AUD, which I could've got a cut of if I stayed there and dealt with SA) to go work for Avanade. One of the worst decisions I've ever made since it caused my fiancé to break up with me (which caused a mental health crisis). Got some dosh out of them which was good (because they breached my contract), didn't even sign the release documents to get the money and make me shut up (but I got the money anyway).

Was working at a mining equipment company and developing copy protection/DRM there, and I got sacked the day after I completed the project.

I was unable to get a job for a while because both of my previous bosses gave the worst references ever and went dead silent after I confronted them about it :/

But I'm back on my feet with a dev job working for my State Government (in the Health Sector) which is quite lovely, and my co-workers aren't assholes for once!

There's pretty good amount of programmer that are musician I think. _Correct me if I'm wrong_ but I think there's an interview with Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead that says he obsessed with computers and played around with BASIC when he was younger.

Yes, this is correct from my observation, too. The comment-to-vote ratios go fast; up south, they will likely be out of the pages quickly. One might think that a post that falls off the homepage would linger on page 2 for a while, but it can be out of even the first 100 posts fast.

The level of corruption in California and San Francisco is astonishing and there is so many things to be fixed.

It's essential to engage in constructive discourse and have a clear action plan that will kill corruption. For example, he has money and he can support investigative journalism to investigate corruption in building/renovation permit system, to investigate San Francisco SAFE corruption/fraud scandal, etc.

Global passenger volume in 2023 was about 8.6 billion, anticipated to be 9.4 billion in 2024. Total, global death count due to accident fatalities is measured in the hundreds. Usually 100-500 per year.

Global accidents per million departures usually hovers around 2, and that's not fatal accidents, which are about an order of magnitude less frequent.

Maybe it would have been better to let him go to Twitter if this article holds any truth: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-shakeup-theory-sundar...

I’ll say that ever since he became CEO the company hasn’t innovated that much. A lot of services get propped up with fanfare then get cut out of the blue. The Google Graveyard seems to have grown a lot with him around.

It’s not just California, just look at almost anywhere. Same story across the UK - taxes and prices ever increase, quality of everything and every service continues to decline. The greed and corruption on display by nearly all politicians is beyond brazen. Lucrative contracts for friends that deliver no value, insider trading, tax avoidance, offshore accounts, communicating government business on burner phones, deleting emails, fiddling expenses, huge infrastructure projects running vastly over budget then being cancelled, etc. What amazes me is how few realise the level of outright theft of their own hard earned money, and seek some form of comfort in blaming the other side, believing their team will fix it next time. There are even some that try to put it down to incompetence.

The corruption is now so deeply rooted and endemic throughout all of society, government and media it’s impossible to know where rooting it out could ever start and end. So probably the only way to turn the tide is for everyday hard working people to start rejecting it and rejecting to support it in any way, shape or form, everyday throughout their own lives. No single person or group can fix this and any claiming to be able to is both a liar and a fraud.
You know, like a Che T-shirt doesn't mean you're endorsing the killing of political prisoners and stuff. Or that a George Washington statue endorses slavery. It's like a "you came at me but I'm going to beat you" lyric, not literally as Tupac meant it.

Whatever, it's not intended to mean killing someone. But you have to be a colossal dumbfuck to say it like that to a bunch of people wise in the ways of the street political machine.

It’s a false analogy. Baseball has way more variance than the other sports.
>> if accruals are allowed, you can basically shape your tax result to never pay any tax? Make bigger accruals every year.

That's not really how they work. You don't get to just make up a number (at least we dont). You can only defer income that's for work not yet done. For work you did do you get taxed.

But I appreciate all the replies, and it goes to show how tax policies change from place to place. Which is why you don't get advice from the Internet- you get it from local accountants and lawyers.
> “It’s shameful,” added a Y Combinator alumnus who, like others, declined to be named for fear of professional retaliation. He has been checking the Y Combinator internal Slack and monitoring their daily email updates, but there has been “no communication” from the company, he said.

If these things are true, it sounds like the problem goes a lot deeper than just the person at the top. Even putting aside any moral implications, it's strange to see a company of this caliber not immediately go into damage control mode orchestrated by PR professionals.
In most cases, it may be wise for them to simply not comment and let the involved parties work it out.
This is a two way street. For those that feel like cutting to the chase is rude, have they considered how inconsiderate they are being when they give a full recap of their weekend activities to the person that just wants to get to the point?

Doesn’t the phrase “living rent free in your head” refer to someone being preoccupied with another individual with whom they have a disagreement to an unhealthy degree? You can’t waive rent if you’re the one doing the living, and by definition if someone is letting someone else “live rent free” in their head, the rent is already waived. Without any commentary on the rest of this (because I have no idea what’s actually going on), unless this is referring to something other than the common idiom, no this is actually a lousy clapback because it completely misunderstands the idiom.

This misses the real problem of waste in winner-take-all markets.

For each football player or musician or influencer or artist who makes it big, there are thousands of people spending millions of hours who fail. The same is probably true for developers and entrepreneurs. That time and those lessons really can't be re-purposed, and have no economic value.

I don't think failure is only a lack of merit. probably many of the failures are just as good (or better, but not lucky). But with near-costless distribution of TV rights and the internet, winners drown out others.

When you're part of a company, there's some validation ) that you're doing something useful for others (however twisted and indirect the feedback from product/profit). Otherwise, it's a bit of a waste from the perspective of society.
I'm tired of people claiming that. Pointing out that tradfi is full of issues (if not worse than crypto), is absolutely relevant here. Fix your own broken windows while the rest of us advocate for something better.

I’m sorry did we read the same write-up?

Like I get cynicism, but they very clearly explained the lead-up to the accounts being compromised and the mistakes that caused that. They took full accountability of it. Which is frankly more than most companies dealing with security incidents. This entire write-up is more than most companies obligations or responses.
That's good to know. However, there was a ton more information that existed in the right hand panel that was pretty important for translating design to code that is now removed.

For as long as I've used Figma, I've been able to view the underlying CSS. This is no longer there. I can get it, but I have to copy/paste it somewhere else to see it. Very annoying. This existed before "dev mode" was a thing. I think it's fair game if you want to make this experience better in "dev mode" to differentiate, but to take away a feature like that is and then try to upsell it a money-grab IMO.

Bun (YC S19) | https://bun.sh | San Francisco | ONSITE | Full-time

Bun is an incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, package manager, test runner, and bundler. Our 2024 goal is to replace Node.js as the default server-side JavaScript runtime. We launched Bun 1.0 back in September: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsnCpESUEqM, and it's been a really exciting 6-ish months seeing developers use Bun at companies like X (Twitter), Midjourney and Brex.

Today we have over 2,000 issues open in our GitHub repo https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues, and while we love seeing people use Bun, it's clear that we need to grow the team to help make Bun more reliable and implement missing features blocking companies from switching to Bun.

We are hiring systems engineers in San Francisco to help make Bun more reliable and implement new runtime APIs and services. Bun is written in a mix of Zig and C++, but experience with Zig is not required (People with a C/C++ background tend to pick up Zig quickly). Working on Bun often involves reading WebKit/JavaScriptCore source code, Zig standard library source code, Darwin XNU source code, and sometimes Linux kernel source code. We are a well-funded early-stage startup (9 people currently). Our office is in the financial district in San Francisco

Surely there are safer places, such as those that aren’t hours away from medical care…
Correct.

I believe Starlink (like Iridium) doesn't even try to establish connections "across the seam," ie the one place the satellites in the adjacent plane are coming head on at orbital speed.

This make side-linking easier because the relative velocity is comparatively low, but in general you unavoidably still need to switch side-link satellites (on one side) twice per orbit. Hence 49 minutes: this average must be calculated per connection not per second, so the front/back links (plus random noise) count less, so it only drags the average from 45 minutes up to 49 minutes.
Mostly bad take. The long term solution is to remove the incentives for criminal behavior and enact laws that prevent power concentration, authoritarianism is not stable. That being said I can see the value in an authoritarian clamp down as a way to rapidly improve the situation in a country as far gone as El Salvador, I remain extremely skeptical about the long term efficacy. Australia is not in a situation analogous to El Salvador by any stretch of the imagination.

agreed, to me this is a big deal for CF. especially coupled with confluence documentation which most likely includes future plans and designs, org charts, meeting minutes... you could also find other easter eggs in any legacy code, almost all companies have undocumented backdoors

Where did you get that 100GB/mo number from? 4K streaming eats up data transfer quickly. Comcrap & friends knew what they were doing making arbitrary data caps that sounded like a big number at the time. Wireline data caps should be illegal.

Assuming you're acting in good faith, I agree that your original comment was extremely generic, and the point of this person's reply was simply to say "this comment could have been uttered at any point in history". Countries and government are always in flux and crtiscisms of a generic nature are almost always applicable. I don't think the comment was so cryptic as to require my explanation, but I hope it's helpful.
Thank you for sharing this! The implementation and examples were super intuitive.
The article doesn't explain how these machines caused the deaths but the FDA announcement hints to it

> A wide range of injuries has been reported in these MDRs, including cancer, pneumonia, asthma, other respiratory problems, infection, headache, cough, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), dizziness, nodules, and chest pain.
> He employs partisan and apocalyptic language, calling opponents “cronies,” “corrupt” or “doom loop accelerationists,” and claiming they want to “destroy public safety” and “ruin” or “destroy” the city.

Whether it should be or not, this is basically par for the course for modern political discourse. What a weird line for the article.
Maybe it's because they receive money from other countries to help them commit this genocide?
Ok... and why is it possible to charge a minor as an adult?

That doesn't work elsewhere, does it? When a 17-year-old walks into a bar and the barman gives him alcohol, saying he decided to "serve him as an adult", will that be accepted?
Interesting, he seems to primarily work on a Discord Bot.

This is at heavy risk for confirmation bias, but I believe that writing chat bots is one of the best ways for people to get into and enjoy coding, because it's fun and rewarding, and simple enough (with an existing framework to use) that just uses strings. For a large generation it was MySpace and the ability to customize your page heavily with HTML. I know a number of people who learned HTML for that reason.

Chat bots seem like the closest modern day equivalent (despite the main platforms making it harder with stuff like difficult to connect to the real time websocket and force use of webhooks). 10 years ago or so when Slack was new and had a gloriously simple API, I even wrote a framework that made it as easy as implementing one function, and you could receive messages (among other metadata like the username of the sender) as strings and send replies easily as strings. It served as an entry point for a few friends who had some fun with it and learned some ruby in the process.

Anyway, if you're looking to get into coding but want to do a "real" project (or something very rewarding), start by writing simple chat bots! If you need some ideas, these are simple:

1. Start with writing a simple echo bot that just replies to every message with the same message that it received.

1. Write a bot that responds to every message with a random number between 1 and 100. For a slight increased challenge, have it do fizzbuzz where the nth message received is the counter.

2. Write a bot that that will reverse the message of whatever it receives, so it echoes replies but backwards.

3. Write a bot that will lookup a word when the message sent is "define <word>" and reply with the definition from one of the many dictionary APIs out there.

Go from there!
Elon Musk's unlikely foe in $56B pay defeat: US thrash metal drummer
Eh, another in a long series of speculations which generally seem bolted on to existing theory to explain why observations don’t match models. Until we get either some particularly elegant reformulation where everything fits in place… or we get a particularly significant anomaly in particle colliders… I’m not real interested in the latest guess as to where all the mass went.

I’m still in camp “plausible explanation is this is all a big mass accounting error and models for how mass is distributed in galaxies are wrong by a couple orders of magnitude”.
Sounds like the perfect time to revoke the credentials and find out what uses them, so we can find why they weren't registered as credentials in use. Personally I'd rather do that, have a team ready, and break production for x minutes in order to properly register auth keys.

I'd definitely consider a "silent" credential - a credential not registered centrally - to be a huge red flag. Either it could get stolen, or break and no one knows how to regenerate it. And it's pretty easy as devs to quickly generate an auth key that ends up being used permanently, without any documentation.
The tweet is to be taken about as literally as "fuck you", but unsurprisingly that fact is being gleefully ignored.

It's getting old anyhow. Shouldn't the outrage crowd have found something new by now?
