My dad tells a story that happened in 198X while the 30-minute guarantee still existed. He was living in DC and traffic in his neighbourhood was absolutely abysmal at peak hours when gov employees were leaving work. Apparently it could take 20 minutes just to get drive a few blocks.

So he ordered pizza with the delivery time carefully planned to coincide right when traffic was greatest.

Yet somehow the drive was able to get it to his house in 28 minutes. He tried to ask the driver how this was possible, but the driver was allready rushing back to his car.

Ford was a ruthless capitalist and antisemite. He never cared for workers affording his cars, only that they bought them. His union busting gangs were some of the worst.

Ford offering higher pay and better working hours were for employee retention which was important at the time.
It's not ideal for me yet. I've had some problems with DAP. The DAP servers I've checked were a bit unstable and slow. For now I'm using gdb with nvim-gdb https://github.com/sakhnik/nvim-gdb

What's the definitive data source that I can use to tell if these incidents really are becoming more common, or if they're all just bubbling up in a more visible way because of the repeated drama about Boeing? I'm expressing genuine curiosity here, because if they are indeed becoming more common you can start asking interesting questions using the data. More common since when, or what's the cutoff? What kind of incidents are happening more? Is there a common theme between airports? Between Air Traffic controllers? And so on.

I bet you can. I've recently discovered you can ask the cold cuts/cheese counter to pack things in containers you brought.

Admittedly I'm not sure that ends up as a net win (is washing liquid better than a gram of oil paper?) but it shows we have a lot of mental dark spots for reuse.
That doesn’t resonate with my experience which is trackball > trackpoint > mouse >>> trackpad for precision and speed.

Pretty cool, but what is "the secret".

First, the heading wording feels like intentional clickbait to make at least a portion of people think they might be jumping to their death, they don't!

They build something up like there is something coming, some actual reason WHY they do it from that high. But they totally failed on delivering any reveal, at least in the video, did not read the entire article.

They made up to be some giant mystery, and I was expecting there is some kind of great reveal thing that has some kind of benefit, something evolutionary or whatever something, - nothing - absolutely nothing. Basically because they did not want to walk down a long way I guess, if there even was a way to an easier jump.
Most of it is government provided here in Norway. My daughtes do (private) piano lessons and theatre and it's organized and paid by the muni. Sports clubs might have a small fee for equipment, but it's also heavily sponsored by the government, the national lottery etc.

For the things not free you can often have them paid for if you are in the low income brackets, and some places just give credit for those types of activity to all children.

The reasoning is that children of low income families shouldn't be excluded.

This is the hard part. The US doesn’t have the great firewall of China. As far as I know, the only way I’ve ever seen the US government block a site is by actually seizing the domain.

This is indeed the bitter truth I've learned this last decade in the industry.

You're paid to deliver. Whether its efficient, it solved the problem, made any money, ticked some boxes isn't yours to bother or control. Plan tour stuff, do your stuff, be nice to others and sign out at 5.

Don't underdo by writing bad code, or not caring of the downstream consequences of your decisions etc. People do get fired for this.

More important, don't overdo. Don't try to predict how the product evolves and catch those scenarios, don't fight for your obviously better design, don't try to deliver faster, don't try to fix that bug you found while working on something else you are tasked to deliver. Chasing a promotion is one of the worst kind of stress I brought on to myself.

Know the kind of project you're in (high intensity, high growth, mature, next on the chopping block) and act accordingly.

Further, take credit and be seen. Do a demo once every quarter, review people's code, show up for design meetings and ask a question, reply to emails/IM's (that show up before 5pm) quickly, deliver on what you said you will. Be seen as a useful resource but push back (with your actions) on the slightest sign of pressure to deliver.

Finally, always be prepared to land your next job interview in 2 weeks.

Its your workplace. Not your family, nor a body shop.

I am non-native English speaker. Almost always we work in an international setup, so I already have to reeducate graduates from university not to use localized variable names and not to put in localized comments.

English is the de facto standard in the programs and it's mostly due to technical constraints and historical leadership in programming languages (well, there was French version of Pascal for a while, don't get me started on that ;) ). I think this made us communicate across the borders better. We already have problems of properly naming things, even limited to English, so why would we want to increase the misunderstandings?
Further evidence we should build a Futurama-style series of tubes in cities for delivering items. I'm not joking. Might need extra packaging to pin the pizza down to survive the forces however. Maybe stack the slices and wrap them or something.

Until they become the sole group that does X (Officially), and other groups realize that having them do a simple task related to X is way more hassles and months of wait time so each team just build their own unofficial X or try to circumvent it from day 0.

I'm not say this or that method is better just pointing out what I've seen so far through different companies. Not all work is the same priority but if you try to reprioritize then you can enter the endless quagmire of inter-department/group politics than involve a lot of useless meetings.

As a software developer, I've personally eliminated many jobs. Software was eliminated entire classes of jobs. Almost all investment in technology by businesses is about cost reduction and the number one cost is labour.

I think we're past the point where technology is making new jobs -- all that low hanging fruit has been gone for decades now. Growth now is all about optimization.

I wonder if they are also coincidentally adding a high priced bus service targeted at tourists. Park Gurl stands on a very steep hill in Barcelona's suburbs, and getting there without public transportation is between challenging and impossible depending on your mobility needs.

Also it has many options for syncing, which is something I like so I can set it up in any way I like.
Hey, neuroscientist here.

It's going to be a few hundred years before we get to that point, if we ever get there.

Bio is just really complicated, there may never be anything like a 'easy to use system.' We're still on the beach of it's ocean, counting the colors of stones.

For instance, in developmental bio (going from one cell to a functioning infant) we have three theories of how a cell determines what it should develop into: 1) The English model: The daughter cells get told what to be by the mother cells 2) The American model: the daughter cells take a look around themselves and determine what to be by taking a poll of the other nearby cells 3) The Las Vegas model: it's all random with lots of apoptosis and going broke.

They very fact that we think these models are right is very concerning to the field. We know deep down that none of this can be correct, but have not been able to disprove it all that well. To be clear here: dev biologists are nearly certain that their theories are crap, based nearly entirely on gut feelings. That's how gun-shy biologists are with any whiff of a 'grand theory'. That's how complicated things are.

It's not a given that bio can really ever be reduced back down to something understandable and simultaneously reflective of the 'real' state of things. That's not something nature is obliged to provide us.

A "genre-defining"calculator app? Really, Engadget?

"To start with, AppleInsider said the calculator will receive a design overhaul that swaps its number boxes with round buttons. You'll even reportedly be able to resize the calculator. If you make it bigger, the round buttons get stretched and turn pill-shaped, though they go back to their original form if you make the calculator smaller again."

The benefit to learning s390x assembler over others is that there are actually still experts around that program entirely in the macro assembler, and environments that still expect or require it (technically, its a solved problem to link against the assembler code from Metal C, but all the docs and APIs are specified entirely in assembler for much of the low level OS internals, and you really do need to know it to work with it in any significant professional capacity).

Its tough to learn on x86 or ARM, because there has been a lot of standardization towards C, and that is sorta the expected low level API/ABI even at the kernel level in 2024. Calling conventions have been standardized, and really very little actual programming is done manually in assembly these days. So its sort of artificial trying to learn assembly on those ISAs these days. Certainly there are not many APIs specified in assembly. Perhaps one exception would be compiler/linker backends, but that is a whole other can of worms you've gotta learn if you go that route.

IBM Z is different in that respect. It makes it probably a more difficult and unwieldy platform overall if you just wanna make a quick app and ship (why I'm not advocating you all go out and buy mainframes lol), but for learning how to program assembler "in the real world", its the last bastion of a much older school of programming and a great learning environment that will challenge some of the assumptions you maybe have picked up that actually come from Unix or C and not the ISAs themselves.

Its also, in my humble opinion, a pretty nice macro assembler to actually work with. Its had a lot of development over the years (perhaps as a result of it remaining a significant force in the systems programming world for mainframes long after similar programming interfaces were quietly retired on newer platforms), and so I quite like the actual assembler itself, now known as IBM HLASM.

I tend to recommend newcomers pick up a free pdf book from here by the esteemed John Ehrman (RIP)

> It might be tiny but this saving was then passed on to every downstream purchaser of the widgets who, with that left over money .... could employ someone else to do something.

So a company used technology to automate someone out of a job but some downstream company isn't also going to do that with their new money?

The reason technology lead to more jobs is because it created exponential growth. The lesson of the last 200 years is that we can grow indefinitely. But that is already falling apart. The growth that is happening now is optimization. And it's happening at every level of society and it's not good for workers.
Or it was along for the ride. One of those companies was propelled by product market fit, the other by 0% interest and the VC firehose of 2021.

When the successful company was founded back in the noughties RoR was arguably miles ahead of everything else. An argument could certainly be made about time-to-market and iteration speed. For the later there were a lot of other viable options available..

> even in 2024 I would be hard pressed to name something better for a SAAS company starting

My sense, at least looking at the stacks for tons of recent YC companies, is that most startups are all in on JavaScript these days. Might not actually be better(though I prefer it), but that seems to be the trend.
I agree that “managers” are these days mostly a legacy from
Industrial Revolution. Supervisors at every few dozen people was a solution for armies and factories where the human does all the work.
As those workers “do what they are told” and do not “leave the farm” you can call it feudalism if you want.

But now the CPU does all the work so the coders are the new managers

Yes we need fewer supervisor-managers, because we have / need fewer workers.
Bauer thinks they just need a few brilliant chemists who can use AI to find that new protein. They might be right.

But there is a flaw - they still
Want the cash to flow upwards. They still see owning the capital as the right to get the returns to capital. They still want feudalism, but with fewer grabbing barons.

Bauer seems to have missed the point that self-organising is democracy.

That equal say means equal share

That letting smart mission driven people organise will likely lead to better results around the mission, but also lead to them asking “why aren’t we getting better paid, and who is taking all the money?”

> By the time you buy an EInk display and a battery you might as well buy a full e reader.

That's the problem I ran into the last time I looked at this - it was cheaper to buy an e-reader at retail prices than just the display at retail prices[1].

I was only wondering if the prices have fallen yet (seems like they have not). There's a bunch of low-power applications with large displays that I could do with an e-ink display.

[1] I don't really understand why the displays are as expensive as they are. It could just be that the e-readers are sold at a loss, and the manufacturer makes a profit some other way (with Amazon, they make their profit on the books, not sure about the others).
