> changes of getting professor-ship, tenure, or even a post-doc is close to nil

What an extreme exaggeration. Yes academia is competitive, yes tenure is hard to get (obviously). But the chance is not "close to nil" for that at all, and it's certainly not "close to nil" for a postdoc lol.

> getting a job after PhD may also be very hard. you would be very over-qualified, likely huge ego, and very narrow skillset in your domain, that is likely lagging behind industry. managerial (or even just "work at corporate") skills will be lacking. unemployment of PhDs is wildly high, even higher than if you did not do PhD.

This is just not true x) There are no numbers where PhDs have worse unemployment than grads.

Conversely, it does open a lot of doors for industry jobs (think ML, quant finance, to name a few)
Nobody pays tuition in a PhD program. Your work is funded by grants and fellowships and you get paid a stipend.

In this particular case we are talking about a large company that owns a lot of commercial real estate and invests heavily in it. From their point of view, allowing people WFH is acting against the best interests of the company - if these commercial buildings are sitting empty, their value goes down.

I see their point but as an employee I would never work for them unless completely broke and desperate - and even then only temporarily, just to have time to find a better job that allows WFH.
> Nit: Mike Little was the other cofounder - you might be confusing him with Mark Jaquith, one of the lead developers and largest contributors early in the project.

Started/founded are basically the same, no?

> Also, with regards to contribution count, it’s important to look at “props” which are the credits given for commits. WordPress has a contribution system that predates things like git’s multiple author support, so users are given props via commit messages, and a system tracks this for attributing credit for each release.

This is all way after he stopped contributing on a code level.
I have a look at SonarSource website, their homepage looks awful.
Sorry, I'm having trouble parsing your point.

"Professional degree" is juxtaposed with "research degree". So if you say it's a professional degree, you're basically agreeing it's not a research degree...

In my country at least MDs are not required to be researchers and the degree has no novelty requirements. They're required to be competent medical professionals.

There are countries where the base medical degree is the MBBS and MD is a graduate research doctorate. That's not what I'm talking about here.

I'm not talking about "difficulty", by the way. Just the differences between the degrees.
Oh, I know why!

A combination of “getting there first” (and thus, a bunch of decaying infra that doesnt support v6- and needing it all updated) and the “free-net” thing where you can choose your ISP in some apartments.

For those not in the know: internet is usually negotiated by your entire apartment building, but some (especially the largest rental building association “MKB”) give you the choice to choose your provider.

The way it actually works is complicated, but nobody will invest in this “open networks” system, so it is stuck in time fully, and even providers (like Bahnhof) who want to give v6: can’t with that system.

It seems hard to find info on the open network stuff, I know it all from a friend working at Bahnhof, here’s at least part of it:

Looking towards the future, we will need to move away from "tokens are characters to print", We're kind of starting to consider this with "tool calls" but I believe an architectural shift will become necessary.

We do have some kind of understanding of what kind of concept we want to emit next, e.g.

```

[The height:property name] of [Mount Bartle Frere:proper noun, describing an object to get a property out of], [in metres:attributes], is [?: retrieve value | (Mount Bartle Frere).("height", "metres")].

> Weird to hear that they’re complaining. On LinkedIn

We might live in different universes but in mine LI is exclusively used in positive tones and for praising. Saying anything negative about any company, and especially the one you work for, is the greatest taboo. You can occasionally criticize something about an unnamed company for virtue signaling. Like really, LI is for people looking for a jobs so who would to hire a person publicly complaining about their employer?

Absolutely incredible! Everything is perfect. All dragging, resizing, moving, everything works without errors.

Yes, but I don't think that's the full explanation. It seems to apply even to companies of modest size, which should not be able to intimidate.
JP Morgan is one of the companies I believe could think that forcing RTO is good for larger market valuations and thus directly to them. More "wealth" there is sloshing around in the system better for them as they extract their cut. Commercial real-estate is big investment market. And thus more active it is better it can be for them.

One hint might be found in yearly financial reports. It depends a bit on the country if you can access those reports from non-publicly traded companies. Are they debt-heavy, or do they have enough free cash flow? What if all customers disappear the next day, can the business continue for an extended period of time?
IMHO discord has far too much "community". at best you want to learn about $coolThing and the server is dominated by a handful of terminally online folks. at worst there's rampant extremism and grooming which goes largely unchecked

also even the most benign discord servers are taking what used to be freely accessible (forums, hobby sites, fansites, etc) and walling the content into a proprietary system which demands your phone number, real IP, etc. it's slowly strangulating all other forms of internet community
> However, I always though that the more "correct" way to live, is in a traditional relationship. And I don't what to get into the philosophy of "Why".

But that’s the crux of the issue. That is exactly what you have to discuss. What you call a “traditional” relationship is nothing more than what you saw when you were a child in your part of the world.

There is nothing that makes that way of living more “correct” than any other. You’re just used to it. Had you seen any other model growing up, that’s what you would’ve thought to be correct.

> We are in an "equal" relationship

I don’t believe you are. I don’t even believe you honestly think you are. You use the word in quotes and couldn’t even finish the sentence without a “but”.

> I want her to be a mom and

Everything in there is you, you, you. What you want, what you think is right, I doesn’t acknowledge what she wants. Saying you don’t want her to give up her career doesn’t count, that is still focused on what you feel.

She is not just your wife, she’s her own person with her own thoughts and feelings and her own value. Money isn’t everything, and this idea that being “the provider” somehow has more value is absolutely wrong.

If you’re planning to have children but see it as her primary role to take care of them, you should just not have them at all. Kids are new humans. If you want them, care for them and be equally invested, don’t relegate your wife to the role of babysitter.

It depends on the subject. Amongst mathematics PhD students, at least, it seems that almost no one is self funded. But you're doing history or literature or something, that's another matter.
It doesn't mention a burner account anywhere, but as the author of FindMy.py, I happen to know how this stuff works :-). But yes, create a new account (either through an Apple device or the website or w/e), attach it to an Apple device or hackintosh at least once, then log out again.

I work in the web 3d space, but unfortunately I know nothing about working with Babylon.js. What made you choose this engine? Did you evaluate cesium.js or three.js? Three.js would get you probably a couple of orders of magnitude more potential contributors, while cesium.js is designed for exactly this kind of project - at least that's my understanding, I haven't personally used it either.

EDIT: btw this sounds like a complaint but I didn't mean it that way. You might have really good reasons for your choice and I'm curious to hear them if you're willing to share.
Most discussions I see online about whether or not someone should do a PhD tend to assume:

- The student becomes hyper focused and pigeonholed into some esoteric and unemployable domain, destined to run on the postdoctoral treadmill for decades.

- The PI is a control freak who only cares about publications, and considers students who leave for industry jobs after graduation to be failures.

These stereotypes can have an element of truth, but there are more enlightened PhD programs and PIs that understand the value of cross-cutting and commercializable research than you’d expect from the discourse. Not everyone is stuck working on a pinprick of knowledge, and if you choose your program and PI wisely, you can go much further and do many more things than you would never have access to with just an undergraduate background.
For someone new to lemmy and a tech-interested HN user, which communities I should subscribe to?
Why is "talk into a black hole" discord so popular? I'm a member of several discord severs, and they are just noise, or someone trying to project manage with Discord (which is a poor project manager) or whomever just assume you're there to work for them for free and they assign you work without asking.
Hampering industry that will bring prosperity to thousands to avoid having to wait to do some specific types of astronomy until Starship is working doesn't seem like a good trade-off.
I'm not completely certain where GP is coming from, but it's not lying if they believe their own bullshit.
HN for discussions that are not as mean as elsewhere on the Internet, I rather like this community and there's people with lots of experience and cool stuff to share here.

Mastodon for a comfy alternative to Twitter/X (feels less algorithmic, less ads), maybe Bluesky could serve a similar function.

Discord or WhatsApp for chatting with friends, and also the sort of discussions that you would have had on forums back in the day (vs the shorter form content of Mastodon/Bluesky). I have to say that I dislike people replacing forums for various technologies with Discord though, since I feel like something like Discourse/phpBB/whatever would be a better fit, more easily searchable etc., just felt like mentioning that.

Reddit or YouTube for seeing what's going on in the world, as well as any number of niche communities. For example, there's one about PC building, there's even one for Intel Arc GPUs, there's a lot of communities.

Slack, Skype (the meetings are better than Zoom) or maybe eventually Mattermost/Jitsi for chatting with people at work.

Now, it's not as much of a community as it is a news site, but LSM for some local reporting in my country: https://eng.lsm.lv/ which doesn't seem to have too much clickbait or the rude comments you get on most of the sites in my country, e.g. instead there's stuff like this https://eng.lsm.lv/article/economy/transport/11.01.2025-be-l... I'm sure that most countries have some down to earth news sites too.

I agree to some degree - it's only hard at the very beginning. After that, it just becomes a part of the company culture. And you can feel it from the first days when you are onboarded or when you struggle with your first ticket.

> In technical terms, it’s basically a diode detector followed by a high-gain audio amplifier, which makes it safe to use without a risk of spurious harmonics or any other emissions from the (non existent) local oscillator. the down side is that the signal needs to be very strong to be detected. that means I should be physically very close the the transmitter to hear anything. in our case, I could hear the pilot, but not the ground station (pilot usually acknowledge what was communicated to them, so you can get the gist). you can also hear any other electro-magnetic energy such as atmospheric cracks, cell phones (not switched to flight mode) searching for a tower and engine roar, among others.

So this is an RF detector circuit. If you happen to be close to an AM transmitter (like an air band radio) you'll get to hear the signal.

If you are close to two AM transmitters you'll hear them both at once given that this has no tuned elements.
AI founders will learn the bitter lesson
I think that there are books published today - especially published today - that aren't worth "saving".

I'd start with every single AI generated book that's said to be available on Amazon (300 or so iirc).

And people can and do judge things all the time: Nobel prizes, juried contests, review boards, movies, music, and yes - even books! - as being worthwhile or garbage. Rotten tomatoes, Nobel prize committees, and so on.

So yeah, I think your answer is not the only reasonable one. And maybe 41% is way too low.
The post clearly described a non-convex shape, and "flat-surfaced shape" should be a pretty clear instruction as well. The shape described may be visualized as a cylinder with a cone cut out, where the base of the cone aligns with one of the bases of the cylinder, and its tip with the center point of the other cylinder base. Except that the cylinder may be modified so that, seen in a cross-section, the line going from the base to the tip on either side may be a (convex or concave) curve. It makes sense as a starting point in the search for a shape with the desired properties. And it can immediately be seen to be non-convex in both described configurations, given that there's a cavity cut out.

This isn’t anomalous or recency bias. You go back in history and everyone who makes predictions similar to Ehrlich about population crashes have been wrong. Malthus was saying the same things 150 years earlier and there were others before him and in between.
> Nobody is suggesting PHP beats compiled.

Actually, there seems to be people arguing that.

> We’re arguing with you about your utter lack of expertise in the language, knowledge of the ecosystem and “production-ready” status of the many options, and your overall coding ability when it comes to PHP.

If you're doing that with benchmarks you're doing a shitty job. My numbers came from experience in production environments with production workloads.

Not to mention that you're talking experimental tooling as examples. I've literally seen multiple companies try to use FrankenPHP. Not one even made it to QA aka it broke because during the dev testing.
I'm starting a PhD — essentially from tomorrow. It's a shame to see so much discouragement here, but at this point I'm no longer surprised. I also don't care because if left to my own devices I would do research anyway.

Tragedy Spurred the First Effective Land-Mine Detector
The law on copyright doesn't depend on the word "learning", it depends on whether it's a human doing it, or a mechanical process.

If a human reads a book and produces a different book that's sort-of-derivative but doesn't copy too many elements too directly, then that book is a new creative work and doesn't infringe on the copyright of the original author. For example, 50 Shades of Gray is somewhat derivative of Twilight (famously starting as a Twilight fan-fic) but it's legally a separate copyright.

Conversely, if you use a machine to produce the same book, taking only copyrighted text as input and an algorithm that replaces certain words and phrases and adds certain passages, then the result is a derivative work of the original and it infringes the copyright of the original author.

So again, the facts of the law are pretty simple, at the moment at least: even if a machine and a human do the exact same thing, it's still different from a legal perspective.
Thank you very much for this project, not only because it looks nice but also to have created with a long lost spirit: "I do something nice for myself and I share it with the world" open source, and doing something straight simple with dependency!

I wish more things are released like that.

Also your tool might be very useful because there isn't a good Gantt tool that is lightweight anymore, i search for one recently and my only solution in the end was to use an excel template...

My 2 feedbacks if you are interested:
- it is annoying to have the "category" required to create a task. Maybe you could create a task with an "undefined" category if none provided?
- a great feature would be to be able to export the result output or view in a PNG picture or SVG.
You’re veering onto a common misinterpretation of the debate which is that we don’t need to respond to resource shortages. Simon didn’t argue against peak oil, he argued that we as society would move away from oil as the prices rose in response to the resource becoming more scarce.
I think various Lisp implementations have their own way to do it, e.g save-lisp-and-die on SBCL.

But, if what you mean "executable" is "small compact executable like the one build by C/C++/Pascal, without extra Lisp runtime attached", perhaps you better look at something else, well like C.
Meta’s definition of quality is not the same as your definition of quality. For them, quality is (within reason) what drives “engagement” (aka time spent in their apps).

It might be that many people’s aesthetic sensibility is that AI-generated content is slop, but I’d still bet that tailored-perfectly-to-you content (and ads) will be highly engaging
It's more or less that except the scale - the inner circles are far too big and the "ray" of the particular branch too wide. What actually happens is a small dot in the middle with very tiny branches going in various directions, some just a bit wider and longer than others.
You wrote a lot of words to "explain" that this sort of a circuit is supposedly impossible (no filters here, except for inherent limitations of components):

Antenna->Amplify->Rectify->Headphones

It's a classic circuit, and yes it works. Given enough power it can be even replaced with a smoking hot dog (yes, a sausage), for example when directly touching the TX antenna.
They're also unreliable in my experience. My mother has a galaxy phone and new galaxy tab, so I got her the Tag 2. I set this up for her and around 2 weeks later she said she couldn't find her keys. The "ring" option disappeared from the app. In order to get it back she has to find the keys, and re-pair the tag. Yep, find them by yourself to fix the ring function. Also I found the directional finding to be dreadful. And overall the device has a less than desirable delay. My tile pro is much better in every regard. I thought that the Samsung would have a better coverage but it turns out that the software must be installed for it to work! So it's restricted to Samsung devices that have that software installed.
These custom tags are not tied to any account; Apple can't tell whether a tag found in the wild is "legit" or not, so registering it is not necessary. You can use your main account if you want, but if you request too many location reports too often, they will ban your account.
I would make paid voting.

10$/10€ 10£ and enough hassle to show real interest.
A few forums and other than that the only community I’m part of—if you can call it a community—is people with blogs. I read what they write, post on my own, and interact with them privately via email.
Thanks for the reply!

>A PhD is an apprenticeship to become a researcher
That's a good way to look at it. I suspect one of the biggest possible benefits of a PhD is that you're put in an environment structured to and pressuring you to develop something new, which is the opposite of most other human work.

>Start a relatively small and easy project and collaborate
Sound advice, it's the general approach I've taken for my undergrad thesis.

>A research masters is a waste of time, a coursework masters isn't
Really? It looks the opposite to me. A research masters let's you collaborate with different people and work on new things. A coursework masters is taking advanced classes.
Hmm. I was thinking more like liberalizing housing construction regulation, and encouraging competition in construction.
