This is exactly my feeling. I was on both pretty early, and was more excited about Mastodon in the early days – but when I started seeing the pattern of hackers who’d built cool new features being flamed off the platform, it became clear to me that the Mastodon community didn’t actually want to be part of the open internet. Which is fine with me, but not at all the kind of thing I’m on social media for. I’ll take my chances with Bluesky.
I still remember the day of the explosion down the road from our office in Nagoya. The worker had been driven to such desperation and rage that he sealed himself off in the boss's office after dousing everything (including himself) in gasoline.

The cops were there, trying to talk him down, but the fumes had reached such a concentration that the next time the aircon kicked in, the place exploded.

The worker exploitation in Japan is BAD, and has been for decades. When you employ someone, you don't technically own them, but culturally you absolutely do.

This is silly. Do you have a job where you make a paycheck? Would you spend the same amount of time doing what you do at your job for the company that employs you if they didn’t pay you?

If not, then you also would not put in a bunch of work on anything simply for fun or fame
I think your opinion is influenced by probability being a well off professional in a field where you can easily find another job, maybe phisical location is not even that important.

Just an hypothesis.

I prefer the "chains on both sides" approach for the society.
I only work on power stations, but about 30 of 33 I have worked on are accessible by VPN. They aren’t staffed 24/7 and one crew will be responsible for several facilities in a geographic area. Bad weather causes problems and makes travel difficult or dangerous, so being able to control equipment remotely saves time, money or lost revenue, and is safer by avoiding dangerous travel.

The ones not on VPN were owned by big enough utility to have their own private fibre networks.

I am ripping out analog electronics from the 70s that nobody alive wants to support and installing PLCs with Ethernet.

The attention paid to cybersecurity goes up with the size of the facility as downtime is more expensive. Failsafes preventing damage or loss of life are seperate processors from the plc and independent often redundant systems, but still digital.
I used to do the utils file, but now it's either a local function (same file, close to usage) or I find a proper home for it (even if it's a rudimentary module).

The average dev knows far far less today. Just how deeply people had to know hardware back then is a massive difference.

And if we look at the average dev today, most code is in the framework, or a node package, or composer package, and the average dev gets by via stack overflow or AI.

There are certainly devs that actually understand coding, but the average dev barely does. Most devs don't understand the underlying OS, the hardware, or externals such as databases at all. It's all abstracted away.

And coders back then had almost nothing abstracted away.
I'm not really a programer, just light scripting.
But, I got to admit, I had an LLM build me out a LLM python test script that would, list all available LLMs, allow me to pick or run ALL, then it would load an LLM, run some tests, unload and load the next llm, repeat, then give me the results in a comma delimited format.

And it wrote it without any issues. (1 little thing, I was in WSL and had to call a windows binary to unload the model from lm-studio, but was an easy fix)

It seems to me, llm writing code has some interesting areas, gets people learning code, writes basic code for users, and helps solve problems when stumped. It wont take over real dev jobs, but will help everyone. LLM's are like a teacher, we just need to make sure the code it gives are correct, lots of spin off jobs to come out of it.

I'm even started asking LLM's for questions like "whats a good free program for xyz", how do you remap keys on a mac like a pc, etc. Its been very helpful.

And fabric and ollama to parse data (news/video text/urls) to break down data in all types of categories. And I've only scratched the service on Fabric usage.

I'm having a blast using LLMs for projects outside my skillset, but I always wanted to do. Even going to make an RPG game with AI music/art/code soon.

Future looks awesome to me.
Similarly, "you" could have designed state of the art LLM sampling: https://openreview.net/forum?id=FBkpCyujtS&referrer=%5BTasks...
Never bet against Unity
Two people I know, one friend and one family member, landed jobs this year in a tough market due to the reputation they had built for themselves.

The friend is a programmer. He used to work in CGI, gained a reputation in animated film, and decided to leave it. People he had known for years convinced him to apply for a role in gaming. He wasn't a typical candidate, but the insiders he knew vouched for his skills and volunteered to onboard him, so he effectively switched industries.

The family member is a nurse. She holds an NP with a midwifery specialization. She was based in a large Western city and couldn't land a job for many months after she got her license. Every clinic wanted someone with 1-2 years one the job experienced.

When she finally applied for a role in the small mountain town where she had done her clinical training, the people she had interned for put their reputations on the line with the folks hiring at the clinic. The job offer documents were ready before she walked out of her interview.

These people are both conscientious and hard workers, but they were each making a leap of sorts. One to a new sector that also needed his skills, and another starting her career and in need of a couple years training post diploma. In both cases, people who had the ear of the hiring manager staked their repuations so that they would be hired.
At least in IT, it's not even necessary to emigrate- foreign owned companies offer significantly better salaries and working conditions.

The sticking point is English ability. It's genuinely a very difficult thing to learn a second language to the point of being workplace-functional in it, and an additional level of daily stress and mental effort to do everything in your non-native language. The culture here doesn't exactly reward risk-taking and failing in public, and unfortunately becoming proficient in a language requires that you stumble through things a lot while you practice. Furthermore, most Japanese people have experienced fairly ineffective methods of teaching English in schools and ended up rather demoralized about their ability to learn it. (And if you're currently in a job that demands a lot of overtime, when do you study?)

This is actually pretty cool. Would love to try it!
The posting's title is misleading. 1 in 5 Japanese workers in their 20s WHO RESIGN turn to resignation agencies.
Most current day cellphone antennas don't have phasing for any tuned directionality.
There are hard limits to array size due to physics and phones are just very small compared to yhe wavelengths they use.

And then there is the general challenge of synchronizing the transmitter phase. There is only so much that can be done via GNSS.

If cellphone frequencies were not filled with cellphones, it could make for a neat radiotelescope on receive.
It's a false dichotomy anyway. There's no law of nature that says an employee being able to quit at a moment's notice means the company should be allowed to, for example, fire someone with no cause on the spot.
Negotiating with other countries is traditionally done by the executive branch and tariffs are a significant lever in those negotiations. The President has the authority to do that because Congress passed a law that said so. They could pass a different law, if they want to, but what if they like the tariffs? Then all they have to do is lower other taxes as the tariff revenue allows them to do.

Also, just because tariffs generate a lot of revenue doesn't mean that's their purpose. Their purpose is to put pressure on specific countries or promote domestic manufacturing. The revenue is just what allows other taxes to be lowered to balance out the impact on US consumers.
That still doesn't invalidate my statement. He can't trigger a pandemic; he doesn't have the ability to engineer a virus, and I don't think he's going to find anyone to help him do so. Besides, why do think he wants a pandemic? The guy's a fruitcake, but I haven't seen any evidence that he's actively malicious this way.

> The decisive change, Schniedewind argues, came with the rise of the Assyrian empire and its conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel around 720 BC.

As I just purchased a book on Assyria because of their podcast ep on the topic, allow me to plug the Fall of Civilizations podcast. I’m listening to the norsemen ep between checking articles. It’s that good (if you’re into history, which I very much am)!

I have a first-gen Framework with i5-1135G7. Using it right now.

Pros

- Keyboard and trackpad are nice IMO.
- The display is 3:2 and overall decent, but see below.
- Fully supported on Ubuntu, including the fingerprint reader.
- I have a USB-A and USB-C on each side, which is exactly what I want.
- Upgrades are available (but see below)
- Resale value is surprisingly high[1]

Cons

- Fans are annoyingly loud when they spin up, which they do when e.g. playing Factorio.
- The 2.2K display requires non-integer scaling; 3k @ 2x scaling is much crisper.
- Plastic cases are common on ~$700 budget laptops not >$1k ones, cheapening the laptop.
- Sleep tends to drain the battery, but I re-configured my laptop to use hibernate anyway.

The first two points have been addressed: I hear the newer Frameworks are much quieter, and there's a 2.8K display option now.

Overall, when I just want to surf the web, I prefer my old laptop, a Huawei Matebook with 8th Intel, mostly because it has a nicer screen (3k 3:2) but partially because the sleeker metal chassis is nicer. When I need portable performance, I pull out the Framework, but the fans get noisy when it's going full blast.

I'd like to upgrade it to an AMD 7000 motherboard + 3k screen, but it comes out to $735:

$420 7640U Mainboard
$ 45 2x8GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM
$270 2.8K Display

For ~$1058, I could buy an entire new 7640U w/ 2.8K display + RAM. Comparable laptops are often significantly less than $1k on sale. With 11th gen Frameworks selling on EBay for >$500(!), from a pure cost-optimization point-of-view upgrading is questionable. The fact that the laptop retains its value undermines one of the main reasons I got the Framework!

Everything is designed to last between a few years and a decade, with the expectation that there's no point engineering for longer than that because something better will replace it by then. This feels bad but it's generally correct. Practically every aspect of technology is improving so fast there's little point trying to engineer things that last, because a stronger, cheaper, lighter, thinner thing will be available long before the thing has expired.

Agile is a response to this, not the cause.
What do you mean by this? You can use templates when editing pages with mediawiki's visual editor.
If I was going to implement a Hungary-style authoritarian takeover of the United States government, I would need a way to distract and tie up resources which normally might oppose such actions. An intellectual Denial of Service attack. A storm of stupid. A circus-like atmosphere of chaos makes it difficult for serious people to do serious work. And of course, I would need clowns in my circus. QAnon was certainly effective, but now it has a negative perception in the public mind, and it's not good to associate with that.

I know! The answer is Sasquatch! I'll use my committee powers to start a never-ending congressional investigation into Sasquatch sightings. And I'll bring in Sasquatch experts to testify, combined with selectively leaking tantalizing tidbits of otherwise inane information to the media.

The public's concern over this nebulous Sasquatch menace can be harvested to justify Sasquatch hunting parties and an increases Sasquatch investigation and information harvesting network.

But would people be stupid enough to fall for it?
Probably the Kenyans themselves (as a Kenyan born and raised),yes Chinese migrants are there but there number are negligible. Most of them are contractors who build infrastructure.

One of the comments on this post raises a really good question.

What does this hypothesis say to the German language kicking verbs to the end of the sentence?

Ive heard native Germans say they like and even prefer this feature to English’s handling, saying they feel like it allows them time when speaking to pick a good verb for the sentence.
Linus Torvalds can do whatever he wants. Fork it if you don't like it.
> The over abundance of resources has made the majority of software engineers lazy.

I don't think "lazy" is the right word, it's just that cheap hardware makes most optimizations not worthwhile. Why spend weeks optimizing an application, costing thousands of dollars and potentially introducing a lot of complexity bugs, when paying 50$ instead of 5$ for a server is also an option? Not to mention the importance of time to market and the time value of money (even if the server cost will armotize, spending the money later might be worth it).

There obviously is some laziness and useless complexity in our industry, but a lot of it simply is the rational choice. We all love the ingenuity of assembler-hacking the last few bits of performance out of the CPU, but for most usescases, this is simply wasted effort.
Yeah, you get the benefit of secret tech (in this case faster networking) but people shouldn't give social credit for it because that creates incentives to lie. And, sadly, tech adoption runs entirely on social proof.
Voice picking is already being rapidly supplanted by human-less (robotics) processes. If the cost of implementation for these systems ever dips low enough then a terrible number of warehouse jobs are going to disappear nearly overnight.

Roughly parity for LCOE once storage is added.

Battery prices continues to drop and in short order it will be flat out cheaper with storage included: https://rmi.org/the-rise-of-batteries-in-six-charts-and-not-...

Add to that investments in the national grid and general energy efficiency it's doable: https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/100-percent-clean-electricity-...

Again, the only reason to not pursue this is to keep the fossil fuel companies profits flowing, and that isn't very compelling.
I think you're framing this in an "I don't like this candidate" way rather than the electorate en masse is generally pretty ignorant. Each party always talks in terms that will largely be poorly understood by most. The idea of taxing businesses because they don't pay enough or taxing the "rich" because they don't pay enough is simply another way of passing that tax down to those who are consuming these services.

You don't raise Walmart's corporate tax rate without Walmart raising prices and affecting everyone who shops there. At least with the tariff there is options.
I was thinking more of every web app needing one or more "if isIE() {} else {}" blocks somewhere in its codebase. Now we have the wondrous pleasure of doing the same for Apple.

I don't think submitting a PR to a framework is a good strategy:

1. They may not accept the PR

2. Even if they do accept that PR, there's no guarantee that in two years time some maintainer will decide to change that behaviour (and update or discard the test you contributed) anyway.
Actually, yeah, everyone in the world can pretty much go and invent their own random version numbering scheme if they want to.

And Linus Torvalds particularly.
Are you imagining external TCP traffic will be translated at the load balancer or are you actually worried that requests out of an API Gateway need to be identical to what goes in?

I could see the former being an issue (if that's even implied by "inside the data center") and I just don't see how it's a problem for the latter.
> Shitty companies manipulating employees to stop them from resigning is something that exists in any country. And this escalating to the labor authorities or going through a lawyer is not a rare thing anywhere either.

It is? In what other countries are we talking about here where a company escalates to the labor authorities to prevent you from quitting? Usually this kind of thing is reserved to harass visa holders, not native workers.
At least three of the four things you listed are things we can already detect. This doesn't make much sense as a reply to "what if we could detect sociopathy". And that's on top of it being a bad analogy to swap different traits and actions arbitrarily.
Unrelated but does anyone have any recommendations for good resources on learning how to write tests/testable software?
They can reduce or plain not pay your bonus, yeah. But making the employee pay for "damages", even by subtracting them from remaining pay or bonuses, is very very illegal.

Of course, people always like to turn the knob they have the most control over. It's also the easiest way to pass yourself off as being a protectionist.

Right now I think everyone is in speculation mode. I think everyone has forgotten 2016-2020 Trump speaks in massive exaggerations and hyperbole. The reality of what happens is likely to be much different than all this anticipation. The fact is the only one making a profit off of all of this talk is the news outlets that everyone is consuming incessantly.
This should only happen if you hit enter on the confirmation screen - was it not clear that this would happen? I'd rather not slow users down by making them confirm that they definitely want to perform the replacement, but I'm happy to hear about other ways to make it clear that a replacement is going to be performed
Yes, but only after 3 months without a new job as opposed to immediately if laid off.

> The reasoning being, if you continued to pay the employee during the term of their employment, and you knew that the employee was not performing based on some KPI or some yard stick, you would issue warning to the employee to improve their performance, or you would fire the employee on the spot. Continuing keep an underperforming employee is giving tactic consent that their work is reasonably acceptable because if it wasn't, you would start disciplinary action or cease their employment.

We're talking about an employee on a fixed term contract, so there's not really any scope for disciplinary action of the "performance improvement plan" type. And the argument would be that they were hired because of a time-sensitive job (hence the need for this kind of irregular employee) and so just not paying them for work doesn't make the company whole, they needed someone to do that work at that specific point in time and if not then they have damages that are much larger than the salary they would've paid.

Of course by the time you get to court you can poke several holes in this argument. But under Japanese law it's a valid argument on its face, so it's something the employer can use to threaten.
I don’t disagree with your statement. I disagree with your assertion that your statement stands in opposition to mine and the accompanying pedantry.
WebSocket is fairly inefficient protocol. and it needs to deal with the upgrade from HTTP. and you still need to implement you app specific protocol. This is adding complexity without additional benefit

It make sense only if you have an websocket based stack and don't want to maintain a second protocol.
What a strange comment. Are you trolling?

Yes, projects can use their own version scheme.

The Linux kernel has been using this version scheme for over a decade. If you think it's inconsistent then that's a you problem.
I’d say in the US there is a unique situation because health care is tied to employment, or it’s insanely expensive. When the job market is not great, you see increased costs and more exploitation of those employed.
Soya bean farmers in the last round of tarifs got hit very hard by retaliatory tarifs.

Most of the high-tech stuff isn't really subject to tarifs, mostly because none of it is manufactured in the US.

Yes Biden kept the tarifs, but didn't go on the news to announce it. He doesn't make it such a political football that others feel the need to politically respond.

The point is not that Biden did or did not. The point is that he (or any president in the next 20 years) could simply as a political win (ie reducing prices). Whether that is good or bad policy is irrelevant. Yhe point is whether I want to risk substantial capital on that.

Mexico is likely the big winner here. It has cheap labor and can't (easily) be tarrifed and likely would not be reverse tariffed.
Some of my dearest friends are on the lower end of working class and don’t make a lot of money. They worry about many things but finding another job is not among them. We talk about it. I am financially well off now but I’ve also lived decades of abject poverty, I am not unfamiliar with what that entails.

At every point in time, finding a job wasn’t an issue. It might have not been a great job, but it was a job that paid the bills until a better job came along. Being able to bootstrap to a better job is something the US does really well.
