"What is a GIMP?"
Meaning of gimp in English

"an unpleasant or stupid person: I can't stand that gimp. US informal offensive. a person with a physical disability, especially one that affects someone's legs.
GIMP | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary

What does the slang word "gimp" mean?

In any of its meanings, deeply insulting, unpleasant, or otherwise, (a stupid person, a person with a physical disability, a sadomasochistic sexual partner, a trimming, a fishing-line), spelt ...

See: https://imgur.com/a/aOXz7D2

>Terrible indeed.

Terrible reading comprehension, I presume?

Try putting "gimp" into image search (in a fresh browser / private window, to avoid seeing personalized search results).

Also, try looking it up in a dictionary.

One needs to be an incredible gimp to not get the point by now. Have your development been gimped in childhood?

(I hope you won't find this offensive just because I called you a gimp, since you see nothing negative about the word otherwise)
ok, so that means message passing needs a runtime, and it can be assumed that pretty much every language that has a runtime uses message passing. more evidence that it is message passing that won out.

and the profound enlightenment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42130432 ) is not specific to message passing but about a dynamic language runtime. being able to intercept messages/function calls is just one of the benefits of that.
Is this confirmed? What‘s the difference?
If you host (and charge for access to) content that causes a seizure and don't have warnings & stuff then there's a good argument to be made that your negligence caused any seizures that may arise.

Especially if there's a perfectly good non-seizure causing version right there.

Promising that content won't cause seizures is one thing, knowing that it already has is another.

In my experience, even internal referrals barely give you an edge these days unless the referrer is quite high in the company org.

Of course things can change rapidly; perhaps the influx of ai-produced applications may bring this practice back.
I'm starting to suspect that people generally have poor experiences with LLMs due to bad prompting skills. I would need to see your chats with it in order to know if you're telling the truth.
Yes. But when you invite the public to subject themselves to art incompatible with schizophrenia, then is it that much different from inviting the public to a website incompatible with visual impairments or to a brand new store incompatible with wheelchairs? Again I do lean on the side of art in this case, but I also find the argument against it to be pretty solid.
You can use :wq to do both at the same time.
"Using our backdoors" is what was said, not "going through the backdoor". Backdoors have a very specific meaning in computer security. US law enforcement is not using backdoors to access the data of US companies.
Amazon also has mastered the art of getting cities to bend over backwards for them, offering tax breaks and land because Amazon wants to bring X number of jobs that pay over $100K/year to the city. Well, now these offices are vacant and the high paid workers are not even in the city like Amazon promised. The cities that helped Amazon foot the bill for their offices are not super happy and want either the results they promised or for Amazon to pay back what the city had invested.
Note that if you have self-hosted runner and if some of the environment variable or state of execution are carried over between runs - you should not even reply or comment on any malicious PR.. The reason is - if they have pull_request_review_comment action workflow inside the fork...

I’m going through a similar experience after being laid off back in July for the first time in my career. The jobs advertised are quite often less-than-inspiring, the hiring processes are weird and opaque, and the hiring team is frequently disorganized and unprofessional.

An interviewer last week was straight out of a Silicon Valley storyline, asking a “if you were on an elevator with Marc Andreessen” question and explaining his devotion to Malcolm Gladwell’s 10000 hour “rule”. The week before I got ghosted twice by a company who’s leadership team apparently pays no attention to the Calendly invites they forced me to set up “for my convenience”.

I know I’m capable and do good work, so I’m not having any sort of crisis of confidence. At least not yet. But the process is definitely frustrating.
>>I wonder if my coding skill will deteriorate in the years to come...

Well that's not how LLMs work. Don't use an LLM to do thinking for you. You use LLMs to work for you, while you tell(after thinking) it what's to be done.

Basically things like-

. Attach a click handler to this button with x, y, z params and on click route it to the path /a/b/c

. Change the color of this header to purple.

. Parse the json in param 'payload' and pick up the value under this>then>that and return

etc. kind of dictation.

You don't ask big questions like 'Write me a todo app', or 'Write me this dashboard'. Those are too broad questions.

You will still continue to code and work like you always have. Except that you now have a good coding assistant that will do the chore of typing for you.

> Read-only assets are the easy part, which was my original claim.

I don't think this is true at all given the volume. With that kind of scale everything is hard. It's just a different sort of hard than contended resources. Hell, even that is as "easy" these days with CRDTs (and I say this with dripping sarcasm).
4. Downloading CSV (TSV, SSV, *SV) data periodically from banks, and using it directly as hledger's data files, without converting to journal format at all. (Optionally adding a journal file just for configuration directives.)

5. Generating one of hledger's input formats from somewhere and piping it into hledger's stdin, running it without saving any data files.
I can assure you that any data found would certainly be determined by you to be unreasonably obtained in a partisan fashion. You want the numbers to go up and to the right!

Request for Prayers
November 12, 2024

I am asking friends and well-wishers to pray for me.
I believe that group intention can actually make a difference.

On October first, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Because of vascular involvement, surgery is not possible. I am taking weekly chemo treatments to shrink the tumor before surgical resection. I am tolerating the chemo pretty well, and I am in good spirits. Every day I make a point of getting out in the sun and walking with Cai and Poppy.

I am receiving excellent care for my physical body from a team of doctors and nurses at Stanford and UCSF. I am also receiving several different modalities of holistic treatments for my emotional and spiritual health. The treatments are helping, and I am feeling much less pain now. I am even regaining a little of the weight that I lost.

From my Iboga experience seven years ago, I know for certain that my consciousness and memories will continue after I leave my physical body. I have no existential fear of death. Actually more anticipation and curiosity.

At 73 years, I have already lived an amazing and wonderful life. I have loved and been loved, beginning with my remarkable mother who believed in me. With my work at Apple and General Magic I am grateful that I could make positive contributions to the lives of many millions of people, and even affect the course of human evolution.

But I want more quality time to share life and experiences with Cai and with my friends and family. My bucket list is not filled with places to travel, but instead with quality time with those I love and those who love me.

I am living my life filled with gratitude. Each day is a special gift to be unwrapped, enjoyed, and cherished.

Thank you for praying for me.

No it doesn't mean they can't work with multiple landlords, it means the represent the landlord(s) interests, not the tenants.

If a tenant hires his own agent to find an apartment, that agent would (a) represent the tenant and (b) the tenant would pay for that service.

But I'm not sure what stops the landlords from just raising the rent to cover the broker fees. Unless there's enough competition from landlords who don't use brokers.

I knew it was built on the iTunes Store because I’ve heard stories over the years from developers on podcasts about how sort of creaky it is. It always sounded like they were totally unprepared for the app explosion and not ready to handle that kind of volume in something that was more complicated than a simple song file that never changed.

But shouldn’t music licensing in the EU not have been by country at that point?

Not an expert by any means but streaming HQ video is pretty expensive (even more so for live content), seems like the only providers that can do so profitably are YouTube and Netflix. I'm sure a big reason for that is the engineering (esp. CDN)
I'll review resumes of any referrals from my network. Usually provide tips or areas they need to show more substance in. I won't submit any network referral to my company's internal recruiter unless they stand out and fit a need.

The proximity to my network doesn't need to be strong, but your resume does.

> It's like people arguing over whether driving on the left or right side is better. It doesn't matter. As long as everyone in a system is in sync, it works.

I 100% agree with you and this is a great analogy.

The biggest problem of all is that the left-lane (remote) contingent will say, “I don’t care what lane you drive in as long as I get to drive in the left lane.”

> It's kind of sad that the people who invented all this stuff really loved school

Really? I didn't invent ChatGPT or anything like that, but I work in tech, I love science, maths, and learning in general, but I hated school. I found school to make the most interesting things boring. I felt it was all about following a line and writing too many pages of stuff. Maybe I am wrong, but it is certainly how I felt back then, and I am sure many people at OpenAI felt this way.

The school system is not great for atypical profiles, and most of the geniuses who are able to come up with revolutionary ideas are atypical. Note that I don't mean that if you are atypical and/or hate school then you are a genius, or that geniuses in general hate school, but I am convinced that among well educated people, geniuses are more likely to hate school.
Nature never ceases to amaze in inventiveness:

> The tiny males never develop a shell, but instead develop a modified arm that he can detach onto a female's mantle to pass along his sperm. This arm can move on its own, wriggling toward the very center of the spiraling shell. This led certain researchers to mistake these lone male arms for "some form of a parasite or worm living inside the female," Villanueva said. A female argonaut can store a handful of these male arms until she is ready to spawn.
This is the toughest market I've ever seen. I easily made it to on-sites at FAANG a few years ago and now I'm getting resume rejected by no-name startups (and FAANG).

The bar has also been raised significantly. I had an interview recently where I solved the algorithm question very quickly, but didn't refactor/clean up my code perfectly and was rejected.

>>The difference is that you can trust a good calculator. You currently can't trust AI to be right.

Well that is because you ask a calculator to divide numbers. Which is a question that can be interpreted in only one way. And done only one way.

Ask the smallest possible for loop and if loop that AI can generate now you have the pocket calculator equivalent of programming.
> it was just the wrong abstraction: too easy to start with, too difficult to create custom things

Couldn’t agree with this more. I was working on custom RNN variants at the time, and for that, Keras was handcuffs. Even raw TensorFlow was better for that purpose (which in turn still felt a bit like handcuffs after PyTorch was released).
Keras was a miracle coming from writing stuff in Theano back in the day though.

A backdoor bypasses legitimate access mechanisms. Whether it is a backdoor or not depends fully on whether you believe lawful intercept is a legitimate access mechanism. And I think the law is on the side of it being not a backdoor.

Car dealerships provide inventory control and local storage. For decades this was a very valuable service for both the automakers and car buyers.

They're less necessary now... as long as you're willing to wait a few weeks for your be car to arrive. Most people aren't, or can't.

Actually I was being charitable. I was only assuming their decision is from spite. If I also assumed they thought this was good for the company in the long run, I'd have to assume they were idiots.

There is no rational, data-driven argument against optional remote work. Even the one downside of it (not getting promoted) could be solved by an employee just opting to go into the office.

Everything else is a plus, for the company and the employee. The company saves on real estate, salaries, can hire anywhere in the world, and gets increased productivity [and profit]. The employee gets flexible hours, choice of living arrangements, and improved quality of life, which then benefits the company as improved morale/loyalty.
This is why they can force people back in

Ah, okay. I’ll keep an eye on Jelly. It looks really nice and could be something they go for, though I know a nice smooth transition would be nice and the possibility of falling back to the shared mailbox if necessary.

I’ve thought about putting for serious effort to setup discourse like they explain using it as a ticketing system with email but this seems better.
Was this an ad that showed up during the playback of another video, or was it an ad that showed up as a video on the home page or on the suggestions for some other video?

(I've never used YouTube Premium so I'm just assuming that it has a similar home page and suggestion format).
I like to think of it more as being intentional, and less as desperate/too forward. You want to know what you're looking for and, just as important, what you're not looking for.

In terms of reaching out, here are some things I did when I was job hunting:

1. The classic referral

Find the job post and work backwards from there (e.g., is there somebody I know (1st connection) or somebody who knows somebody I know (2nd connection) on LinkedIn who works at the company?).

If I knew the 1st connection, I'd reach out and ask if they were comfortable referring me.

2. The forwardable email

If it was a 2nd connection, I'd reach out with a forwardable email (https://also.roybahat.com/introductions-and-the-forward-intr...) and ask if they'd be able to forward an email and make an intro if they received a positive response.

3. Job hunting as an occasion

I made time to catch up with good friends. It felt energizing to get the moral support, with the added bonus that sometimes they knew people working at companies looking to hire. For example I would eventually get a job offer from Figma and that was because a good friend's partner worked there and was glad to refer me. I hadn't even heard of the opportunity before we talked.

4. The weak ties

I also made time to catch up with people I didn't know that well. There's some research on "weak ties" that suggest that people who you don't know well probably are exposed to a very different network to you, and will come across very different opportunities. The convo would be an opportunity for us to catch up and I'd talk about being open to job opportunities.

I hope this helps!

Yes. What no one here bothers to even mention is that APTs have been doing this very thing since the 2004 Athens Affair. It didn't feed into the sanctimony so it isn't mentioned.

Devs in there 40's and 50's are probably the most valuable devs on earth. We grew up with computers and had to adapt to our rapidly changing industry.

I suspect we will see startup founders trending older if it isn't already happening. Companies stuck in the old way of thinking that older is slower will probably be disrupted in the next recession.
My favorite recently acquired pet theory about the amazon RTO is that it's driven by real estate occupancy rates in their incredibly expensive new hub offices, several of which also received massive government tax grants with strings attached(0):

> "Now consider that Amazon spent $4-5B to build its two headquarters buildings in Seattle in 2015/16. Almost certainly it will need to refinance those loans in the next couple of years.

> When that refinancing window opens, two things will determine Amazon’s real estate bill. Interest rates, and the value placed on the buildings. The latter will be driven almost entirely by occupancy rates.

> So the answer to “why does Amazon care about occupancy rates” is that by driving those rates up, it can maximize the valuation of its properties, decrease to loan-to-value ratio of its financing, and secure the best interest rate possible.

> The size of the prize is massive.

> One point of difference in the interest rate attached to a commercial loan across a 10-year term equates to $100M in interest payments. Given Amazon will need to refinance several billion in commercial real estate over the next few years, the stakes of increasing occupancy could have a billion dollar price tag. Way more than the cost of pissing off employees. Way more than hiring to replace those who quit."
