> Or maybe it was some sort of ongoing agreement and canceling it was effectively "not renewing".

The announcement effectively calls it "no-notice cancellation" and overall it reads like they were already deep in the planning phase when it happened, which seems unlikely if a renewal was pending.

This always reminds me of that time I submitted an absolutely awful physics lab report and was incredulous because I had written it in LaTeX and it looked nicely typeset. I'm not accusing this guy's notes of being bad, but I definitely think it is a strange "optimisation" when pen and paper exist. It's not like you're going to stop using pen and paper in grad school either.

That said, by the end of my physics degree I'd probably used thousands of sheets of paper...
Perhaps I missed it in the article, but by what objective measure are suburbs as a whole failing? The article just seems to be recounting a collection of horror stories.

I’ve got family all over the country. From what I’ve seen, older inner ring blue collar suburbs that have experienced their own white flight have declined. However, the ones with high quality schools have thrived and it’s not uncommon to find situations where two identical houses are 50% apart in asking price because one is in the good school district and the other is in the bad district.
Agreed, but with a different conclusion to you.

Since you have children, I think you'd agree with me that it's changed you in a way that you can't explain to someone who doesn't have any? Wouldn't you rather everyone underwent that change?

I don't recall a similar story when Amazon went through their first major layoffs in 2022 (which heavily hit their office on the same street as the Google Cambridge office mentioned in the first sentence), but I do recall stories about Google's layoffs including glossy photos of ex-Googlers and members of the Alphabet Workers Union.

None when my current company did layoffs last year.

At what point do non-Googlers matter enough to get a New York Times article?

Thanks, I'm intrigued. How do you read books on it? I don't want to watch video reviews. Do you just copy PDFs to it over USB?
It's not true, because it ignores the interplay between city and suburb and judges only by "productivity." Cities, for instance, export their need for parks and open space to the suburbs, making them less "productive." It's also not reasonable to assume that streets and services are a fixed rate per meter -- city infrastructure is a multiple of suburban costs.

The truth is... complicated. It takes a mix of urban and suburban to create a successful city.

Same here. I like the 1 day in the office to meet face to face with people I work with.

There are ways to handle it. For example, before it is firmly plugged you can just sense what is happening -- us minimum voltage and high impedance to prevent sparking and to get information about the state of the mating.

You only turn on actual power when it is firmly connected and you turn it off immediately when there is any signal that it might be disconnecting.
Not to be TOO snarky, but given how quickly corporate cancels employee labor despite rising revenue, it would not surprise me for other corporate to also cancel "low paying customers" for "high paying customers". Loyalty is beyond dead so cancelling a contract is just a cost of business if they feel the alternative gives more money.

If they canceled a year or so before the con, I could see that. But to cancel seven month before the conference? There's no way they will get a decent-sized substitute in the space before then, so I don't see how this would be anything but a money-loser. Not to mention other conferences might be less willing to commit to long-term deals if they see that the contract can be canceled on a whim.

Yes. In Lisp there is no difference between how code is stored and how data are stored. Both are available to the REPL (a command line interface) which does allow for a different style of "live" development.

Although Lisp is powerful and fun, it's of note that the inventor of Lisp quickly turned his back on the concept to invent Algol -- which is the basis of nearly all other modern languages that aren't Lisps. In practice, mixing code and data often turns out to make things worse.

"Fast growing" alone doesn't mean a whole lot.

Take for example, you have a million engineers in the UK, you have 100 in Pakistan. Year after year, you add 100 more engineers in Pakistan, and 100,000 in the UK.

Pakistan is the "fastest growing" in this situation year after year after year, but it will never catch up with the UK.
Open standards -- and RSS is the open podcasting standard -- always win in the end. Listenership of the show (and the embedded ads) will skyrocket.

Actual defense contracting (Boeing/Lockheed, not Palantir) are hugely societally positive in defending the homeland. Unfortunately, Google engineers likely think of these companies as employing lesser people, mostly because they genuinely do pay very poorly.
I agree, certainly possible if you are diligent.

Most people are not though, for various reasons, most commonly not caring enough. Plastic bag legislatures should keep that in mind if they want to do more than pass a feel good law.

I don't share your perspective. How do you suggest to discourage underinformed unskilled contribution? It seems to me taking your approach will divert all time and all resources to irrelevant tasks, tasks not pushing code forward.
The tricky part is that there's "living within your means" and there's "living within what your means could be if you made significantly less money than you do now".

You can live just fine -- hell, still be in a top income percentile -- on half of what a well compensated big tech SWE gets in their total comp package. But just as software expands to fill the hardware available, so do lifestyles expand to fit the budget available.

So you might need to move to a cheaper house, apartment. Take fewer vacations. Lower your savings rate. You might even need to -- shudder -- budget and plan your spending in advance.

Even if you come out the other side still comfortable and financially stable and working an interesting, rewarding job, it's still a whole thing, a stressful transformation that takes a large investment of time and energy to achieve.
The big (and I mean massive) misunderstanding between creatives and statisticians is misunderstanding an infinitely creative mind. This is a rare liberal aspect of my own opinion however having grown up in a conservative environment few know what it feels like to be discriminated against as the liberal artist understands innately.

I encourage you to watch this episode and consider the fact that creativity will never be destroyed and the future will never narrow down the cone of uncertainty. Generative ai (with artist) have expanded the cone beyond anyone’s ability to control it.

This is the first time in history the people have access to influence the future beyond any reasonable statistical estimation of it.

The creative population will only grow stronger after millenniums of facing oppression, hate, ridicule and being misunderstood.

Generative AI outside of the dystopian narratives is actually quite liberating for humanity.
I guess the idea is that over time you'd learn to navigate without needing the turn by turn instructions that a smartphone spits out - like how people used to do it. It wouldn't just be to break smartphone dependence, but to gain a sense of direction if that makes sense?

I wish code completion in Emacs worked out of the box like modern IDEs. Now it depends on 3rd party LSP servers(that is for intellisense like project and context aware completions) that are not bundled with Emacs.

I feel completion is an essential feature for an editor presently and not having it baked in is not a good approach.

>>If Google becomes less of a target for barely-qualified people who want to rest and vest

It's always been my impression that people who actually manage to get a job at Google are extremely competent(so by definition - qualified) - is that not true?
> As for people projecting their own solutions on everyone else, I have mixed feelings about that. Ideally people would be able to curb their smartphone usage independent of the world around them. Yet that is easier said than done. You're going to have a challenging time curbing your smartphone usage if the social expectations of your friends or expectations of your employer depend upon using a smartphone. To use your alcohol analogy, it would be like an alcoholic trying to give up the bottle when their friends and colleagues meet up at the bar every night. It's not so much a case that everyone needs to stop drinking. It is a case of the people around them needing to respect that alcohol should not be a fundamental tool for social or professional interactions.

You’re suggesting that because one person struggles with smartphone addiction, all of their friends and professional acquaintances should also give up their smartphones and not use them for social or professional interactions?

The alcohol analogy is apt, because I’ve had a couple friends struggle with alcohol addiction and recover. One of them tried to push complete alcohol abstinence on everyone else, insisting that it couldn’t possibly be used responsibly.

Yet the rest of us did use it responsibly. They didn’t understand how we could simply choose not to drink most nights (or weeks, or even months if we wanted) and how we can choose to drink only a single drink and then be done. They insisted that the entire concept of drinking was flawed and uncontrollable and that we all needed to acknowledge that it’s not working out for anyone. That we need to give up completely, hard stop.

And that’s exactly what some of these extremist anti-smartphone arguments are suggesting: That everyone’s consumption is uncontrollable and negative, that nobody can control themselves, and that the only possible solution is to go back to dumb phones. It’s a severe failure to imagine that anyone else’s behavior might differ from their own, or a failure to accept that maybe their own problems don’t extend to everyone else in the world. It’s certainly comforting to believe that your own problems aren’t a personal failing but rather a feature of being human, but the truth is that many of us do use smartphones with moderation just fine.
You at worst pay cache coherency costs on the CPU for your indexes. That can add up, but on systems that are not write-heavy it won't matter that much in practice I suspect. Assuming a relational database model, even if you're inserting and then querying a bunch of rows at the same time in the same index/table, the rowid is what usually sorts rows on disk so you'll get locality of the bulk of your data regardless.

That being said, unless you have a specific reason to use a UUID over the standard incrementing integer, I wouldn't if for no other reason than dealing with UUIDs is visually complicated.
From lazy software types who pride themselves on terse communication?

We literally hold contests for having the most wacky code in the least characters and you want someone to go from typing "BGP" to "Border Gateway Protocol"?

Nobody goes around ELI5ing every term in existence to speak to the least educated audience. It's painful in communication and annoying. There's a base level of understanding expected from the audience you're writing for. I agree that BGP might be on the fringes of that but still in the target. Would you expect someone to do that for you with HTTP? TCP?

Medicaid covers the cost of nursing homes, and it's not necessarily an advantage to have money saved just for that, because they'll just take the money anyway. Some people try to give away their assets to their families beforehand so that Medicaid will cover the costs, which is a legal no-no.

> Just because it’s possible

This is an understatement, when the subject is how 99% of the people live.

Of course it can be great to be in the top 1%, but it's not "unreasonable" to be outside the top 1%.
i actually think it is good practice. if there is any issue with the gig, they eg try to force you to hand over access to the account, or someone is breaking into your github account then you don't expose all your other work.

there may be an issue with github TOS not allowing more than one free account per person though. i don't know if that is still the case, but then i would get a paid account for each paid gig and just add it to the bill.

<< I don't see why relations with Russia aren't normalised now.

At the end of the day, people like when the day follows is the same as the previous one. This allows people to plan ahead, live life and so on. It allows business to run uninterrupted. Russia was upending existing post-ww2 order. It was initially doing it slowly. Slowly enough that no one in the west cared to do anything. Obama famously sought a 'reset' with Russia at the time.

Even in Ukraine, it was not until after Crimea that there was even an appetite and realization that it won't magically stop.

<< the US appears hell-bent on taking Russia and China then welding them together.

This is probably one of the few spots where we are kinda close, but US already made BRICS a reality with current sanctions regime making it even more relevant. The decisions being made now are a big gamble and I would like to hope that those are made consciously with some forethought. That said, remembering 9/11 Afghanistan, it is merely a hope.

<< I think it is a serious foreign policy blunder.

That, sadly, we won't know until it all plays out. Who knows what life will look life 50 years from now?

> Disregard for property is not the motivating factor for these artists.

Probably true, but isn't that true for nearly all property crime?

Very few bicycle thieves for example are motivated by disregard for the cyclist's property. They are motivated because they want the money that they can get for the bike. Same with car thieves, bank robbers, pickpockets, and purse snatchers.
This doesn't really seem related, it seems like you're saying "maybe we will use this, here is a link to our commercial GUI library".

Also why would you want to make a GUI even more bloated by integrating a browser to get webgpu and webasm (and why webgpu instead of just webGL?). That might be easy for library makers but why would someone want a giant library to make a GUI when they already have electron if they don't care about 350MB binaries to pop up a window.

That first leg day is gonna be a real burner.
Okay, let’s humor this new lGas unit and see if it works.

If my engine consumes 10lGas/100km when traveling at 100km/h, that means it uses 10lGas/h, or .002778 lGas/s.

If the pipe feeding my engine has a cross sectional area of 10^-6m^2, how fast is the gasoline flowing through that pipe?

Naively I would expect I could divide flow rate by area to get mean velocity. But I’m expecting the result to be in m/s. But if I divide .002778 lGas/s by 10^-6m^2 I get 2778lGas/sm^2.

Unless an lGas is 10^-3mGas^3 and I can measure gas area in mGas^2, so I can get my gas speed in mGas/s?

If you want a mathematical way to capture ‘of gasoline’ the right way to think of it is not as a unit dimension but rather as a basis vector, kinda like ‘up’ or ‘across’.

1m * up is the vector quantity ‘1m up’, which has dimension ‘length’. 1m * across is the vector quantity ‘1m across’ which also has dimension length (we call it a displacement, but it’s a vector in the length dimension). We can add them together even though they point in different directions because they share the same dimension. The result is the vector quantity ‘1m up and 1m across’ and it is also a length.

Similarly 1l * of gas is a vector quantity ‘1l of gas’ with dimension ‘volume’. I can add it to ‘1l of air’ to get ‘1l of gas plus 1l of air’ which is still a vector volume. It might describe the contents of my fuel tank when it’s half empty for example.
