That part about trying to find a phone number, rings so true. (!) Have a Normal question? Go to a supplier website, scroll around, find tabs, find a go to contacts form, fill in form, etc. But all I want is a quick question.
Sometimes, even as simple as, what town is this company in?
I think the thing that is trying to be solved is promotions, raises, etc. But there is this concept in larger, older companies that this needs to be done once a year. But there is no reason this couldn't be done quarterly or even regularly. If you manage a team and someone on that team is not doing well, it should be an ongoing conversation, not something that should pop up as a surprise one day. When I interviewing for a manager role at Netflix, they often talked about how "it shouldn't be a surprise when you are giving someone the news they are being let go". Unfortunately difficult conversations are difficult and people avoid having them. But the fair thing to do is give people a chance by giving them the feedback they need to improve, and then holding them accountable when they don't. None of this needs to be done in the guise of a "performance review"

Or someone just doesn't like you and they are just making stuff up to throw you under the bus and get rid of you, like my last job!
Literally got my Next Slab working over the weekend, seen presentation before and its put a good smile on my face today.
In particular, tomorrow night is going to have a lot of things needing rapid tweaking; some random county in Missouri is gonna somehow have an emoji in their election count CSV because someone hit the wrong key, some new microservice will choke under the once-every-four-years load, etc.
If the alternative is to be under constant existential threat of being laid off... I could see is as the lesser evil. IMO, recent events are the reason for this item being included.
A cousin or two, yes. I see Qanon bumper stickers quite often. They can't all be ironic.
> This is exacerbated by ruby's tendencies towards "fluent" interfaces, which is actually code for lots of methods that take undocumented hashes of arguments --- and hash access with strings and symbols? nightmare fuel.

Keyword arguments and pattern matching have improved this quite a bit, but not everybody is using it yet. I'm not sure how much Rails is using it either, which doesn't help.

It's def a dicey situation, but improving.

there's not much that will generalize here. the NLRB has a lot of procedural powers around union campaigns and elections. there are a lot of things that, if a company does them in response to a union campaign, are considered to violate the employees' rights -- not their rights to good working conditions, just their right to decide whether or not to form a union in a fair environment.

usually this is doing things like making hours worse, enforcing rules more strictly, etc. in response to a union campaign. but they can also get in trouble for positive things like relaxing rules, giving raises, etc. and in a few funny cases they can even get in trouble for supporting the union.

in other words, if Grindr had, in response to unionization efforts, decided to placate employees by expanding WFH, they could have gotten in trouble in the exact same way.

I’m new in town and was hoping to meet some fun people

Turns it there is an underlying intention of meeting potential dating material, as I matched up with 3 single women.

Being a married man I had an amazing evening and lots of fun discussing dating apps and dating life, though I’m not sure if the ladies would rate the evening equally successful given the absence of potential dating material …
On the internet nobody is a lawyer, of course, including me. But this is in their T&C:

> Any and all content, including [...] that you submit [...] through an interview conducted using the Service [...] shall be deemed, and shall remain, your property from the moment of creation.

but also

> you hereby grant Interviewing.io a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, non-exclusive, license....

Basically they ask every user to accept their claim on prima nocta + first born son, without option to revoke. Have no idea if it's legally enforceable or not, however (that's a proof that I'm really not a lawyer, I guess)
you're literally the only person who's making a mountain out of a molehill coming up with ever more convoluted code to "prove" the change was a bad thing.
Same here, I went out with a sizeable budget and tried out many cars and ended up with a 2024 Mazda 3 Premium last November because it was the only vehicle that had every control available in a tactile way. I love the car still a year later, and this is something every passenger has commented on. The center screen is a touch screen but it gets disabled once you go over 10mph.

Not OP, but I feel strongly about this.

I've got a lot of Lisp experience, and love Emacs' values and ecosystem. I still use neovim regularly because of a tangle security, a sound sure-footedness of action, derived from consistency and latency. It takes a combination of confident action on the users part and confident response from the machine to perpetuate the user's experience of both speed and intrusive confidence. (IMO) Emacs fails to deliver this experience plainly in latency due to the main thread blocking (even with more the 8MB of RAM). It fails partly due to the greater variety of modes and (as an evil user) lack of "core" support for Vim bindings, creating a higher sense of care and vigilance, but I really that could be over-come if one's config is kept small and the ecosystem tuned more towards robustness and optimization in visible UI, tactile UI, and multi-threading.

In favor of what, I don't know. Something that explicitly aspires to feature-parity with a modern-emacs stack (vertico/corfu/marginalia/transient/tramp), but which sacrifices some aspect of the platform's flexibility (eg. make plugins use transient and allow consistent global user prefs) to prioritize consistency, latency, and robustness for the sake of UX.
It would have been interesting sometime around the first C++ exposure but probably a bit too late by now :-)
Everything I've quoted contains quotes either attributed to Crumb, or to the drummer of Janis Joplin's band.

Unless you're suggesting that the author literally made those quotes up?

> (Also, if you knew a bit about Crumb you'd know it's the type of guy that just wouldn't do stuff he was not interested in.)

He sounds like exactly the kind of guy who'd do a favor for a girl he wanted to fuck, despite not liking the band she was currently in.

DataChain has no assumptions about metadata format. However, some formats are supported out of the box: WebDataset, json-pair, openimage, etc.

Extract metadata as usual, then return the result as JSON or a Pydantic object. DataChian will automatically serialize it to internal dataset structure (SQLite), which can be exported to CSV/Parquet.

In case of PDF/HTML, you will likely produce multiple documents per file which is also supported - just `yield return my_result` multiple times from map().

The big idea is that record types that have optional values (such as Maybe in Haskell) don't give you enough context on when, where, and how those values can be optional. Additionally, by placing things in buckets, the argument is that records and optional types are more brittle than the alternative, maps that can simply have missing keys for what would be optional. The imagery of a herd of sheep (map) versus compartments into which each sheep can go (records, Optional types, etc.) is brought up to illustrate a desire for more fluid engagement with information that may or may not exist or be needed, all of which is a description of a named aggregate of information we care about in context.

While I see the merit in his arguments, I believe his approach to data is "Clojure-like" or Lisp-like, in that it discourages explicit enumeration of all states and their possible configurations for the tradeoff of being able to sculpt these records. But, as a Haskell dev, I do not want to sculpt the records in the way he describes. I want to explicitly enumerate all the possibilities. This is, in my mind, a difference in cognitive preference. There is no right or wrong way and I think what he proposes is elegant. It is ultimately a matter of up front reasoning about the space compared with reaching a synthesis of the problem domain over time through wrestling with the problem itself. It is a statement about the efficacy of saying what can be known up front and to what extent, how much accuracy, and what utility.

I am about to launch a SaaS that pairs languages to these cognitive patterns as explicit understanding of such information can help bring together people who think similarly about information (team-building) while also opening up the possibility of expanding ones insights with alternative ideas and approaches (as his talk has done for me). The intent is to help hiring teams find devs that match their culture's programming and problem solving styles (whether that be reinforcing or doubling down on ways of thinking and acting).
There are writings from early Christianity which reference the Gospels. Bart Ehrman has said it isn't until circa AD 170 where the the gospels have an author's name attached to them.
Dementia driven? We can certainly disagree on policy objectives, but claiming Trump has dementia is absolute nonsense. Did you watch the Rogan interview? Regardless of one’s views on his politics, there is not even a remote hint of dementia.
From your own source: UK's informal employment rate? 6.5%, not 24%. Ireland? 1.8%. Germany: 2.5%. Norway: 2%. Many EU countries have strong labor protections alongside low informality and high employment. While labor protections pose challenges, they do not inherently lead to high informality or low job creation. Effective policy design and enforcement are key to achieving economic stability with strong worker rights.

I'm not surprised, on a startup-angled site, that there'd be dissatisfaction with not being able to hire and fire at will. COVID had employees re-assess what was important for them. Tangentially, now we're seeing that shorter working weeks results in higher employee productivity and satisfaction.[1]

Having job security, when you've taken on long-term commitments like a mortgage and raising kids, is considered important in many parts of the world. The EU isn't SV; for employees that's probably a good thing.

> Red Hat and Poettering wanted systemd in order to control more of the platform

Speculative and ideological. From a technical perspective, I don't care about this.

> despite all this being open source, were forbidden to modify or replicate

This isn't true - you're allowed to modify or replicate any parts of systemd and always have been.

> systemd is, of course,today a continuing shambling feature factory behemoth in which hundreds of product managers try to shoehorn in more mandatory features in order to cement grip on the platform

I'm not sure you understand what systemd is.

systemd is not a piece of software, systemd is an endeavor. Many, many projects are under "systemd", as in they have the name, but they are all individual binaries. Practically 0 distros include all systemd binaries, because they're optional. Many projects already existed before systemd, like gummi boot, and were just given the name.

> The rest of Unix, by comparison, is generally not that way

This is untrue, as systemd follows unix principles. systemd-init does one thing and one thing only - it's only the init system. systemd-networkd is just the network daemon. systemd-journald is just the logger. And on and on. Despite what you may think, they ARE optional, and distros mix and match constantly.

> without cramming a bunch of cruft and poor decisions into pid 1

Again, out of the dozens and dozens of binaries under the systemd umbrella, only one (1) runs under PID 1. This simply isn't true.

> Systemd is designed to try to be the ultimate mandatory dependency for essentially everything on the system. That's the way Red Hat wanted it to be, and that's the way it is

Speculation, ideological, and not evidence backed.

> Of course, journald, libudev, localed, logind, hostnamed, homed, networkd, resolevd, systemd-boot, systemd-bsod, systemd-nspawn, timedated, timesyncd, tmpfiles, udevd, and all of the other array of dumbass bolted-on second-system-effect-driven product-managed nonsense somehow don't get mentioned

Yeah... because those are separate programs. Maybe you just don't understand how computers work, but these programs are unrelated. They talk over IPC, they're not even linked together on any systems. You can take or leave any of them, and many distros do. Even Debian, the supposed systemd cocksucker, doesn't include half of these.
They claim to. Their advisors, lieutenants, and propagandists report great success. Their people just know better than to talk about it.

I have been getting quite into this topic recently and this whole 'Q' theory more and more sounds like field hanging on to its older theories despite it not really making sense. I find it really hard to defend this view in my opinion.

The idea that these text are just written in 1 go and depend on each other doesn't really make sense. There are different styles of writting and so on in these text.

Its much more likely that there are multiple layers and that there are interdependent on each other between each of these.

As the typical standard attack on Q, I suggest people look at 'The case against Q' by Mark Goodacre. And he makes the case that if you simply have Markan Priority you don't need Q. This made more sense to me then Q. However he still accept a traditional view of gospel creation and to some extent dating.

A more 'radical' approach is being put forward currently by people who study Marcion and in general, the 'Apostolic Fathers'.

One of the big problems with biblical scholarship is that 'Gospel' period and 'Apostolic Fathers' period were treated as two different things. So by how the field was split, it was clear that Gospels came before the time of the Apostolic Fathers (this was the standard view in Christian tradition). The problem however is that in terms of external evidence, there is no evidence for the gospel that goes back that far back.

The first we have a clear external indication of these text existing with these names, is in the 170s. Lots of people we have text for, seem to either not know the texts, or not think its important. Both are quite strange if you assume they were in their final form before 100. You would assume that after that people constantly use them as references, but they don't.

So once you overthrow out that 'traditional' view, and you just assume the gospels are just like many other writing in the second century and treat them no different, all of a sudden lots of things make a whole lot more sense. This reevaluates not just Marcion but also other early church figures like Ignatius.

Markus Vinzent and his PhD student Jack Bull have nice youtube channel that you can check out: https://www.youtube.com/@Patristica

They work with Mark Bilby sometiems on using methods better then simple word counts and other traditional methods to try to understand the different layers in the text. He uses computational methods. See his work:

> The First Gospel, the Gospel of the Poor: A New Reconstruction of Q and Resolution of the Synoptic Problem based on Marcion's Early Luke

(Hard to read, but you can find videos of him explaining a lot it). His 'Q' is quite different from the traditional one.

For those interested, the 'History Valley' youtube channel interviews a whole lot of different scholars with different points of view in the field on these topics. So if you want to get an overview on the different positions on Q, you can find all the different position on that channel.

In my experience, this is a common enough usage variation that I'm not sure how helpful it is to treat it as an error. In particular, "assembler language" seems to have been IBM's preferred phrasing at one point.

That's a charitable take, to put it mildly.
Because Alice is a good manager who cares about their reports and is otherwise supporting them, advocating for them, pushing for changes to team culture, etc.?

The fact that they can't control this one thing does not mean that they should just abandon the whole company. If Alice finds a company where they can get similar compensation for similar workload without the forced bucketing, perhaps that's a good idea for their mental health, but Alice leaving is a large negative for the team.

AI extended zero page, I see… (zp_dx and zp_dy are in 6502 hardcoded stack range, not in zero page at all).
The problem with all of these is they act as if these works came into being fully formed at time X. Any real solution has to overcome that and start to think as these text are in motion.

> To think that employers are just randomly firing people for no reason has never struck me as being even remotely true

Have you only ever worked with reasonable management? The problem with quick to hire quick to fire is that eventually you might be quick to fire. I suspect you have a much higher level of security than most people to have quality of coworkers as a top priority!
Appreciate the heads up! For my learning, what do you mean? The projects themselves from GitHub surfaced here or the website?
This is purely speculative. From my talks with sys admins, all the ones I've met greatly appreciate systemd. Also timers and cron have different requirements, notably timers can do much more. Also timers is purely optional and most distros DO use cron.

There's a major disconnect, I've seen, from what systemd haters proclaim and what is reality. Nobody is forcing anything, you don't have to use 99% of systemd, it's not a monolith, and many people do want the features. To be clear, this isn't my opinion - this is the truth. You can find all this out by perusing the repos and mailing list.
> What do you consider...

Anything that is either only given to citizens, or has some obvious "Person [X] is / [ ] is not a US Citizen" indicator on it.

I'd assume that the relative lack of a suitable ID card (in the US) was the point that user RicoElectrico was trying to make.
China has very legitimate reasons to go to war over the US's island chain policy as they are reliant on imported oil

Though now that I do parse the second half of what you're saying - this is completely nuts of course, and just so happens to be nearly identical to Japan's rationale for attacking the US in WW2.
Some regulators already know this - for example, EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires identifying critical service providers like the public cloud providers and ensuring an exit plan. Azure would certainly be in scope for many institutions.

The UK PRA and Singapore's MAS have similar guidance. Often these are related to third-party risk management and/or outsourcing.
Do you have any evidence of this or is this just your belief? I think, if it's just your belief, you should say that.
