> how do you know the guy just didn't go out to lunch?

You don't, you hire people you can trust, and with whom what is/isn't appropriate during an incident is clear.

> How long do you wait to hear back, do you just wait forever?

A short message "How's that going?" if it seems to be taking a long time and there is no communication.

What you are describing is micromanaging the actions of the people who are meant to be experts in that domain. Why is this needed? What issues have arisen before, and do these issues arise during normal development.

> person in the example

It's not clear to me the role the people in the example have.

What does being "primary investigator" mean? How does that relate to Ops - why isn't support, or the devs investigating the logs. Who in the example would be knowledgeable about this area? Is the Ops person qualified to know if a web log is strange? Why would they be pushing fixes to a web server?

To me, if people in the know are competent enough to investigate an issue, they should be competent enough to communicate about it.
What cocoa19 says. Also there is a small business license that is quite affordable to commercial indie developers and gives access to all modules.
No its not. You are making a bad strawman.

YT content creators are financially incentivized to exaggerate things to generate user engagement. This is a conflict of interests.

A good source would be something that has its own sources cited or directly comes with evidence.
Typst has nowhere the control and reproducibility of LuaTeX. It's core syntax is quite weak and will be a bottleneck in future. It is especially weak for structure of huge documents, and for mathematics.

LuaTeX is stupid but it still has features needed which none of the other markup languages posses.
Are there laws governing discrimination based on location?
I'm assuming out of the 3 levels that are on most certificates

Root / Intermediate / Server, you only pin server certificates and not the levels above them.
Question must be - how does one retire on $1M? What kind of passive income one could hope for reliably considering one doesn't have a right for mistake when they are 65+ because there's no way to start over, so "rent some servers with Solana stake" is not a viable strategy.
He left out the part about starting your company at a unique point in history where a generational technology shift was taking place that also happens to be a time when antitrust laws had recently been enforced (making your main competitor wary) but were about to be completely ignored for the next 20 years, so you could exploit your initial market position and engage in anti-competitive behavior to grow huge.
This is a classic response when numbers are down. From what i could find for the full fiscal year of 2024, Dell’s revenue was $88.4 billion, down 14% from fiscal year 2023. The operating income for the year was $5.2 billion and non-GAAP operating incom was $7.7 billion, both showing a decrease of 10% and 11% YoY, respectively.

You could do a Starship* hop from Chile to Guyana, and there transfer it to the ESA's launch vehicle.

7 out of 24 - just under 1/3 - making it to or past 88 is probably higher than average. More also made it past 88 but are dead now.
Regardless of Canon, there is no reason to change drivers between macOSX OS releases. Aren't all releases using cups?
Why? Windows has been the one updating itself making sure to not break backwards printer support, not the other way around.

You can still use printers from the 90's on modern Windows, meanwhile MacOS seems to break support for recent printers between minor updates.

It's not like they're a cash-strapped start-up, if Microsoft can afford to invest in maintaining backwards compatibility, so can Apple.

Sounds like Apple is just lazy and doesn't care what it breaks treating their desktop OS like their mobile OS where app devs need to keep pace with them, and fans will die on the hill defending them.

I mean, unless he's an idiot, he'll still pay the market-clearing price for the drawings. Quality and taste are subjective. Monetary value is not.
If it's any consolation (and assuming you're not Irish), spelling it is helpful in Dublin too as we spell it different ways here. It could be eoghan, eóghain, owen etc.
So if you're making a reservation at a hotel, restaurant etc. then spelling it out won't do any harm.
> Yet people seem to complain loudly about buybacks while treating dividends as "yeah, of course companies have to provide financial returns to shareholders... Otherwise, there would be no shareholders."

I'm one of those people!

Fundamentally, to me the difference is quite large. If I believe in a company, I don't want to sell my shares, rather I'd like a steady stream of income from their operations. Granted, it ends up being more tax efficient to use buybacks, but I think that's a flaw in our current model rather than a reason to prefer buybacks.
Yeah, given the amount of legacy infra built on Java. They don't have the luxury to move fast and break things.
I remember seeing online bill payments being patented. Whoever made that should be making a killing, and if they aren't ... everyone on the planet should be getting sued any day now.
At that point I will just get a car.

Well-founded relations is probably a good lens on why the above is important.
I've long wondered about this sort of thing. I have friends who drink no-sugar drinks, but I can't stand them. Even the ones everyone says are fantastic taste bad to me.

I wonder if there's not some sort of genetic connection influencing how some non-sugar sweeteners taste, much like the genetic link with cilantro tasting terrible for some.

Might the commenter really not be able to taste the difference? To me, it would be stark and unmistakable, but perhaps that's not true for everyone.
You raise a fair point, I do think that it’s important to understand how the properties of the data manifest in the least-squares solution to Ax=b. Without that, the only insights we have are from analysis, while we would be remiss to overlook the more fundamental theory, which is linear algebra. However, my suspicion is that the answer to these same questions but applied to nonlinear function approximators is probably not much different from the insights we have already gained in more basic systems. However, the overly broad title of the manuscript doesn’t seem to point toward those kinds of questions (specifically, things like “how do properties of the data manifold manifest in the weight tensors”) and I’m not sure that one should equate those things to “learning”.
I've always wondered: wouldn't they need to have already classified those captchas for them to determine whether the user has made the right selections? If so, doesn't that defeat its "real" purpose of getting people to do that classification work for them?
Its a similar level as the comments you would see on tech subjects on an econ forum.

Markdown does not specify how to add labels and cross-references for figures, equations, tables, etc. Many moons ago, I asked about them on the CommonMark forum[1] and described a syntax that was general and internationalizable. Given that CommonMark has frozen the Markdown specification, I implemented a consistent label and cross-reference syntax for my editor[2], KeenWrite[3]. These labels and cross-references are translated to XHTML, then transformed from XHTML into ConTeXt macros that are subsequently typeset.

Apart from Antarctica - New Zealand seems to be the last large landmass to be settled in 1200 AD (see map linked above).

But even in NZ, there are some inconclusive claims of previous civilization. The gov has banned access and excavations to verify or refute the claims. One example:

> It's more exciting to work on your own project than someone else's. And you can also get a lot richer. In fact, this is the standard way to get really rich. If you look at the lists of the richest people that occasionally get published in the press, nearly all of them did it by starting their own companies.

People like Paul Graham telling 14-year-olds that basically getting rich is the most important thing is one of the reasons we got into this late-stage capitalism nightmare in the first place. Fuck this.

Edit: Sorry, to update after my rant. So many things wrong with this advice. For most people, starting a company is not the best path to happiness. Sure, if you have a job, there's a "boss" that tells you what to do as Graham notes, but if you think for a second you can do whatever the fuck you want when you start your own company, you're dead wrong. Of course, Graham knows this.
you call it "near slave wages" whereas they might call it "enough wages to survive" - whose description is more relevant here?

If they wished to not work at the sweatshop - they would stop working at the sweatshop. Whose opinion is more relevant here?

If you think their lives would be better not working at the sweatshop, you should educate and empower the sweatshop workers. Removing the choice of the already disadvantaged is evil.
2t$ problem of egos?
And still not taking into consideration that the majority of those "self-made" billionaires anyway inherited many privileges from their parents that helped them to "self make".
No, afaik, it's still a region locked feature. US only. Pretty convenient that all popular product reviewers are US based and advertise the Pixel 8 as an AI powered device.
To be fair, with Arch, the more often you upgrade the less you have to fear - the migrations around breaking changes are normally pretty good.

It might be worth reviewing whether you're qualified to pontificate on this; not all comments are "constructive": this one spreads misinformation. Please comment on things where you have a bare minimum of expertise. Charges of discrimination by employers can only be for the enumerated reasons of:

> "because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information."[0]

Things like whether you are working remote or in-office, your political beliefs/affiliation, personality, where you choose to live, what color you died your hair, whether you re-heat salmon in the office microwave...these are generally not covered by charges of "discrimination" in the USA.

Most of the things that need to be written in LaTeX (math) cannot be written in any other language yet.
I can't remember not being disappointed in pandoc. I used to try pandoc first for file conversions but at this point I try it last, only after exhausting format specific tools first. For example, the conversion from latex to html in pandoc is a joke, just unusable garbage, compared to the results of tex4ht.
Or the part where your parents are professors and provide the educational opportunities and financial freedom to take risks that 99% of people don't have.

I don't mean that to even sound bitter or cynical, but it's just a fact if you look at most founders, even the ones that fail miserably.
I am talking about the C tooling culture, specially when comparing how compilers, linkers and makefiles are exposed, versus the Xerox PARC programming model that was largely adopted by other ecosystems.

Our Brains Are in Trouble
If the online chat can look up my info, cross-ref databases, and get me going on my way in 10 minutes, I think it's a win.

That being said, I would hope whomever is tasked with the job enjoys it, and that the human is freed up to do what they're passionate about, instead of taking my customer service request.
It seems to work pretty well
If temperatures dropped during the onset of the Pleistocene. Then why would humans have migrated away from Africa to Europe? It seems to me that in Europe it would be even more cold.
Do you have any nerd friends?

I just "trade" NAS space with a few of my friends for remote backups. They allocate me a few TBs on their servers and I allocate them a few TBs on mine, and we all give each other some locked down shells for remote access (bubblewrap, jail, VM, etc. everyone has a different approach).

I'd say grab a few 8-16TB disks, throw them in a raid 5/6 with a filesystem that supports snapshots and compression, dump all of your 23TB of data into it, come to a trade agreement with a couple of friends, and sync your 6TB of important data to your friends' servers (gifting them a drive >= to your storage needs can grease the wheels here).

The details don't really matter as much as the overall architecture. I personally have something like 12 drives haphazardly shoved into an old desktop case with a couple pcie sata expansion cards for extra ports, all dm-crypt'd and gathered into a btrfs raid6. I regularly rsync my other systems to the backup server and take a snapshot after each sync, so I have incremental historical backups for every live system. Backups of retired systems are just static and never get touched. The really important stuff gets synced to friends' servers using restic (encrypted, incremental).

You can make the whole setup very flexible and reliable at a very low monthly cost if you just work with what you have and get your hands a little dirty instead of relying on commercial services.
Are you trolling, or what? The US has mountains and mountains of regulations about every possible thing. You can't even receive money to cut someone's hair without a certification. Just because other countries have yet more doesn't mean it's surprising that one more thing is banned.
Something tells it is going to disappoint the fans of the books.
Because it would mean a performance penalty for everyone who does not need MSET to be atomic without being able to opt out of that transaction. On the other hand, if you want to be a drop-in replacement for Redis, then this is an issue as Redis guarantees atomicity. Maybe you could have a configuration option that lets you select between compatibility and performance, at least if being a drop-in replacement is a design goal.
Have a look at the Teensy 4.1, it comes with 7936K Flash, 1024K RAM and you can even add up to 2x8Mb PSRAM iirc. Of course it's a bit more expensive but not much.
Tbh that's implied when the company you're working for isn't remote first.

No matter how unbiased management thinks they are, they will still promote the people they see in the office more.

However, job hopping is still the fastest way to get promotions/raises so I'm not sure it matters.
Yes and:

Open markets require rules. And some referees.

Fair rules and impartial referees are anathema to the plantation class. They prefer incumbency protection enforced by the government at the expense of everyone else.

Regulation is a scary word for rules.

Socialism is a scary word for collective action.

"Free markets" is doublespeak for might makes right; with the "freedom" to act without consequences.
Discrimination per se is never illegal, otherwise you couldn't use things like education, experience, or skill level to decide who to hire/promote. It's discrimination against a protected class which is (often/normally, depending on where you live) illegal.

While there are protected classes that benefit from flexible working locations (people with some disabilities, for example), working from home in and of itself isn't a protected class, so there's no real chance for a lawsuit on that grounds.
And this can be solved with real estate taxes - a disincentive from just holding land.
Apple is not employing Michael R Sweet anymore, that doesn't mean MacOS is not using cups.
Nearly 3-dimensional Dirac fermions in an organic crystalline material unveiled
There's also cases where (shockingly to some) Apple just doesn't care.

I'm still more than bitter, after buying some nice 27" 4K HDR 144Hz monitors that Apple actively broke (and may still be broken) Display Stream Compression 1.4 for the Pro Display XDR.

When it was released, there were questions about how Apple was managing to drive that display.

Well, the answer is because they absolutely nerfed/bastardized DSC 1.4 from Big Sur to make it happen with some proprietary magic: those same screens could now only be driven at 60Hz in HDR10 or 95Hz in SDR.

Proof in the pudding was that my monitors (LG27GN950-B) actually allowed you to change the advertised/supported DSC version, and when I "downgraded" the monitors to DSC 1.2, performance actually improved, and allowed 120Hz SDR and 95Hz HDR.

This happened with many many users, across many screen types.

And if you downgraded to Catalina? Boom, back to 144 Hz.

Apple studiously ignored it, and may still be. They simply don't care if you're not using an Apple display.
Maybe merely having a billion dollars isn't what pg was thinking of when talking about "the richest people". If you look at the top 100, like he quotes in his article, only 27 inherited their fortune.
He's telling kids that they don't have to get a job, and one of the key objections is obviously going to be "but how will I get money". The emphasis in the essay is not getting rich, it's that it's a much more interesting path. And it is.
We've had a number of very interesting technical challenges along the way to this 2.0 release:

- traffic tiering and balancing based on request's perceived amount of work

- low latency data loading during our calc loop

- implementing a selector framework to unify all the stores used by the application

- redesigning the formula editor to make human friendly yet expressive enough for the most hardcore user (fun UX challenge)

We really ought to start blogging more about these things :D.
Apple doesn't have long tail support in its DNA. Its used to supporting 5 years of devices with just a handful of SKUs per generation. In contrast, Microsoft is used to supporting a huge variety of hardware and keeping it working.

It's even worse than that. Not only is he saying that, he's parroting the bullshit idea that "starting your own company" is the relevant skillset, rather than "absolutely ruthlessly exploiting every moral and legal grey area to hoard as much value for yourself as possible with extreme urgency."

But I mean this is the guy that foisted Sam Altman onto the world, so clearly he already knows that. Which makes an article like this understandable as the propaganda that it is.

You don't write an article like this to influence kids, you write it to rationalize the giant pile of money you find yourself sitting on.
Right now our email sync is maximally simple, so that it's predictable for customers. If anyone on a thread has the sync set up, then any thread with outside parties gets synced. Each outside company/person is associated with the email. Also no BCC stuff, too easy to forget.

We're working on a simple way to do deal->email association. Right now you can only do deal->company->email, so if you have concurrent deals on a company there's not a great way to disentangle them.

You got thoughts on how you'd want that to work?
> "that's not something I'm supposed to believe in."

Swapping out the dogma against which you check "is that something we're supposed to believe in" isn't a great advance. Is a step; but you have to go on, and lose dogma entirely.

Then you can decide to believe in things because they appear True to your senses and reason. or not to, when they don't.
False positives on tests are a well understood source of illness and iatrogenic harm, as well as being a well known money printer for those administering the tests. Trying to screen for a whack of rare diseases with AI still sounds dubious to me unless you have good reason to suspect one beyond high levels of medical anxiety.

I’m more interested in AIs ability to do things like read x-rays and identify illnesses with higher accuracy than a tired doctor on a 12 hour shift.
Or do no work at all and keep depositing checks until they eventually terminate you. This takes a lot longer than you think at any large dysfunctional organization.
> I think there's just a generalized frustration that a cadre of mostly very bright people seem to have largely spun their wheels for 20 years.

Otoh: very possible their work produced spin-offs that were useful in other fields (math advances, thought experiments, practical research tools & equipment, people in other fields having a look at their work from a different angle, etc)

AND having bright people chew on a subject for decades & come up (mostly) empty, is a good hint there's nothing there. 'Unknown' vs. 'we've tried hard & not found much' is a useful result by itself. Think of it as reducing the search space.
I successfully treated my eczema with Vitamin D. It did take several months to clear up, but now I can eat what I want with no risk of a flare-up. I took 5000IU daily. I still take it now, but only a couple of times a week.

It doesn't work for all cases of eczema or psoriasis, unfortunately; many people I have recommended it to did not have the same response.

Best of luck - I hope your Vitamin D experiment works out for you!
They aren't aiming to go that far. They want companies to be accountable, not the employees of the companies. They want the company to have a vested interest in having a good process, and not really much more than that.

It would indeed totally change the profession.

No because USA's central bank is raising rates as well. Only when the policies differ do the currencies move. So Yen seems to have been falling for awhile since their central bank lagged USA. It would probably be a poor choice to dump USD for Yen IMO.
There’s a tradeoff between risk and return. It’s not a binary tradeoff where you either have no risk but no return, or good return but unreasonable risk. It’s a gradient.

Moderating Eating Disorder Content Is Harder Than You Think

I still buy movies and TV shows on Apple TV (and sometimes Amazon Video) all the time. That seems like the closest analogy to Steam. It works very nicely.
