I was working for a German startup that had been acquired by a big American company. The relationship between my team and the big corp was strained from the start - we felt that they simply didn't understand what we did and didn't give us the liberty to decide how best to do things. They also didn't seem very mindful of time zone differences or understanding of German worker protection laws.

When they laid off the other team that was working in our office (on an entirely different product), they of course assured us that we were safe - they believed in our product, yadda yadda.

Then at some point, things started getting weird - a job position was cancelled right before we were going to offer the candidate the job. A trip to HQ was cancelled last minute. An external team was getting increasingly involved.

About a year after the other team had been fired, the second highest ranking executive was visiting our office, something he would do once in a while. When the visit was announced, we were joking that "if he brings Pattie from HR, they'll lay us off". I got the message from my coworker on my way to work: "Pattie is here."

The speech the executive gave us was the stupidest thing I've ever heard somebody say to me. He literally said: "In a couple of years, you will look at this as a big opportunity." We just rolled our eyes at each other. When he left the room, we picked up the remotes and started playing stickman against each other. It was the only thing that seemed appropriate.

We had a very nice office and so we were looking forward to be able to spend our notice period together, playing video games, making music and doing the bare minimum in terms of handover duties. Unfortunately, covid happened at right that time and our time together was dramatically cut short, which I still consider a tragedy.

One woman in our team was pregnant and fought the settlement they were offering us. As far as I know, they had to keep her on for longer and she eventually negotiated a better deal - pregnant people are especially protected under German labour law.

To this day, some in my former team doubt that what they did was really all that legal and think we should have fought back, because it later turned out that they lied to us about a bunch of things. But I doubt it would have been really worth it. They just wanted us out.

That's not actually how 'support' works, especially when 'the' alternative was committed to arming a genocidal apartheid regime against the will of their own voters. Many. many people can no longer stomach to 'hold their noses' and vote in favor of open atrocity.

There's a whole lot of people who strongly disdain both parties, on that basis and others. They are not remotely proportionally represented by either government or media, but they do exist and they don't support this administration.

Btw, there are all kinds of electoral solutions to the two party bind which you seem to have entirely accepted. Neither party will ever willingly bring those in.
It's hard to believe how Google could mess up their network so badly. Apple network shall be totally dwarfed.

As a nomad-traveler, the Apple network is not particularly relevant to me, I don't travel to the wealthiest cities with a lot of Apple phones, but to the "rest of the world" where Android market share is close to 90% dominance. But even there, it still seems that Apple is doing better than Google (...)
I am aware of those, I have used them, but this font has rounded corners on boxes, that's why I believe it is a custom font.
Hybrids are also a lot more complex so i would think much less reliable. Even Volvo Polestar hybrids are pretty cursed on second hand market.
You know, if everyone wrote a predator prey simulation from scratch, they would understand those oscillatory dynamics.
The pricing model is very well thought out and worth studying. Cheap but not free generous base layer, that falls back to prepaid credit resource based billing for high users. Even details like punitively increased pricing to discourage higher risk outbound email patterns.

This removes risks from both seller and buyer. The seller is not afraid of an avalanche of free trial users resulting in a big cloud bill. The user is not afraid of surprise overages (cough recent Vercel scandals cough) nor has to think about usage patterns that fit into arbitrary quotas, nor about surprises that catch up to you if you use the service at scale.

This is the way to do small utilities that have a cloud cost; services of the 'save you the trouble of self-hosting' type, or the 'tool somebody writes once, and people might use occasionally for years' pattern.

Maybe not the way to extract maximum value and growth for an ambitious startus, but a good choice for the many modest niche services out there.

I bought Google Photos for my dad, and so often he'd point out a picture that it showed him. That encouraged me to get it - it's such a simple thing, but getting a 'memory' every day is really so sweet.
Tesla Model 3 was the most sold electric car sales in Denmark in 2020 at around 1/3 of electric cars sold:

1 Tesla Model 3: 4,277

2 Volkswagen ID.3: 1,722

3 Hyundai Kona: 1,160

4 Kia Niro: 834

5 Renault Zoe: 704

6 Volkswagen Golf: 625

7 Nissan Leaf: 566

8 Audi E-tron: 493

9 Volkswagen Up!: 369

10 Porsche Taycan: 327

Source: https://www.bn.dk/bilmagasin/her-er-aarets-mest-solgte-biler...

So the Danish electric car market was somewhat diversified, but the Tesla brand was very strong back then. Still, you're absolutely correct that there were enough other electric cars sold back than that the comparison with the Model 3 is fair.

Rather than "validating" it, I'm experiencing it. That's why I believe in a forum of generally highly educated people like Hacker News, we would be better off not mixing those topics and talking about politics.
posteo has been great for me and also allows you to define aliases, thou each alias costs 10c per month. If you stay below 10 aliases, it is <2€ per month as well.
No, that's the whole point of the fiasco. That setting is not for the tracker but for the tracking devices. For Google Find My trackers to behave similarly to AirTags, every single android user would have to go to their Find My settings and explicitly change, how sensitive their phone is.
Late night mixup. Switzerland is also substantially hydro, nuclear, and renewables and headed toward eliminating fossil fuels, so the point still stands. It doesn't contribute to the crisis in the way most generative AI does.

They also ran their datacenters on 100% renewables as of 3 years ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/pa76za/is_proto...
Either put the effort into mentoring the intern, or fire them. You wrote that you "hired" the intern but didn't mention if that means a paid internship or not. If you don't pay the person, or pay them very little, you should adjust expectations accordingly. A year of no completed tasks seems like way too long, indicating lack of guidance and management.
maybe we are locked with o365 from our IT department...
That seems to have a limited number of addresses.
Some of those include display latency (e.g. Konsole) because you can't throw lazy rendering out of some terminals.
Still, it's nice to engage with folks on their own terms, and not just blindly assume they'll want to work in English all their life.

I kind of miss the early 2000's, where a bunch of pretty well-known French and Belgian academics were publishing source code in their own languages (#define to remap keywords and all)
It happened to me, though I resigned when I hit burnout during covid. My whole identity was just being good at my job, and then I was no longer that. In part I think some blame is also to be placed on these companies who try to make the employees feel like a tribe or family. Since I've always been alone it was easy to slip into that false sense of belonging.
There's no good reason FSI can't be improved to handle this though
Maybe you should care or investigate who are you giving money to. Maybe even not buying a car is a good idea.
Was it on your work laptop for a reason?

Good reminder, never mix work and personal. Or at the very least maybe use a cloud service or a thumb drive.
The problem with "+" isn't the email side.

The problem with "+" is dumbass Javascript developers who use broken regexes to "validate" an email address.
The only point I'm trying to make is you need to compare apples to apples, and if you don't that contributes to misinformation. People run with figures from articles and press releases as if they are gold standard info, but often they are not. It's irrelevant to my point whether that is more or less fair to Tesla.

I kinda disagree about most of the points (but I don't love a lot of things about Docker, but don't see them being worse than other tools) - but I 100% agree on the networking.

It's kinda badly described and unintuitive. The amount of people who were surprised by the firewall rules messing up their existing firewall setup is very high. And it also just grabs a subnet and you have to dig why it would use that one and not another. Not sure about conflicts. But it's a bit of "it works until it doesn't".

I didn't have many "wtf just happened?" moments with docker, but 100% of them were network-related and half of them were hard to troubleshoot.
That's not what monopoly means in practice, and in fact, depending on jurisdiction, there's not even a >50% rule in place.
Ohhh, missed that. Thanks!

I use it. Not always great, too bloated and instructions found on the web are often for a different version and just don't seem to work.

But pretty sure it's not worse than Microsoft. I'd rather burn my money than spending it on Microsoft "products".

Yep I’m in exactly the same boat. I think I’ve largely decided that tech is just a job now; my motivation to code outside of work was tied to also somehow enjoying doing it at work and now I don’t anymore I also stopped doing it for fun.

So I’ve replaced advent of code with various other stuff, music, woodworking, books, the great outdoors and while my life is less rich in technology it’s becoming much fuller in other ways.

I think I prefer it this way.
It feels like there's a legitimate 'cobras problem' risk with this.
Though I guess it's more like hiring and training mercenaries.
Because you are training people with dangerous skills, promising them money in return. If the money dries up, they will start looking for other ways to employ their skills to make a living.

Not that all, or even most, people with those skills would abuse them. But it doesn't take that many, and things might be worse if you start attracting people with insanely big sums.
They didn’t so was propably misread. Reading the article it doesn’t mention Tesla in the 12 year graph. But it is mentioned in the 5 year category.
From my standpoint as a software packager I have trouble believing that upending the entire video ecosystem on Linux was worth fixing this alleged "tearing" problem which is the main thing people bring up as the reason we all spent a decade doing this. (Along with some honestly fantastical worries about screen scraping -- the answer for that is open source.)

Honestly Wim did this right on the audio side. If it was so important to bring what Wayland has brought someone should have written a display server that talked to display clients just like the old server did and upgraded gracefully if the client had the new capabilities. You didn't even have to recompile software to use pipewire, let alone rewrite it.
It wasn't like that in this case. Rumours were it was because people in Germany were thinking of unionizing.
What do you need SimpleLogin for? Purelymail supports aliases on its own.
Nice, I was unaware of this. Take OCaml for example, it was primarily developed by the French if I recall

OCaml was written in 1996 by Xavier Leroy, Jérôme Vouillon, Damien Doligez, and Didier Rémy at INRIA in France

Yeah, but they didn't write keywords in French, they went straight to `let`, `rec`, `if`, `then`, `else`... Because they're just keywords, they could just be punctuations; so as long as you don't go full brainfck.
At no point does the law force a company to fire a high performer. The company can literally just fire one fewer person - if the employee really is 10x and if the company has its shit together, that's what would happen.
Great work! The visual elements are very impressive. Would you say this tool is suitable for prototyping, especially for someone with development experience but no prior AR experience?

Completely agree.

The only measurable flaw I could find was the errant use of an opening quote (‘) in

> He huffed a laugh. "Lucky you." His gaze drifted to the stained-glass window, where rain blurred the world into watercolors. "I bombed my first audition. Hamlet, uni production. Forgot ‘to be or not to be,' panicked, and quoted Toy Story."

It's pretty amazing I can find no fault with the actual text. No grammar errors, I like the writing, it competes with the quality and engagingness of a large swath of written fiction (yikes), I wanna read the next chapter.
That may be your mantra so you can get to sleep, but even if true, Becket's murder reminds us that underlings may consider them orders.

I suggest backing it up in multiple places.

Electronic forms are so much less durable than physical.
People use containers for different things, some of them for the same things they used VMs in the past. This has nothing to do with understanding, just your or the author's preference.
After being laid off more than once, I think I'd adjust the advice a little:

- You're only obliged to work your contract hours. If you do more then make sure that you, personally, are getting something out of it, whether that's "I look good to my boss" or "I take job satisfaction from this" or just "I get to play with Kotlin". Consider just not working overtime.

- Take initiative, but do so sustainably. Instead of trying to look good for promo, or alternately doing the bare minimum and just scraping by, take on impactful work at a pace that won't burn you out and then leave if it isn't rewarded.

- Keep an ear to the ground. Now you've got a job, you don't need another one, but this is a business relationship just like renting a house or paying for utilities. Be aware of the job market, and consider interviewing for roles that seriously interest you. Don't go crazy and waste the time of every company in your city lest it come back to bite you, but do interview for roles you might actually take.

The last two points are fine, however.
One thing that astonishes me, is that most people want to have a real team to be part of, contribute, give our best.. yet most jobs are just a game of lies and end up being the opposite (there are some good bosses but the stats are low). It's like two needs that can never meet.

Pixels (and soon other Android devices) have this functionality built-in: https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/pixel-proactive-secu...
My recommendation would be: don't make your work be part of your identity, unless it's your work (e.g. your business). The work you do for others is not who you are. Your employer is not your family, nor even your friend. It's a business relationship, and should be taken as such.

This, incidentally is good advice for both sides of an employment relationship: employers sometimes also mistakenly believe that employees are their friends and family and then get a rude awakening when employees suddenly leave with no warning, for a 10% increase in salary.
(Creator of the search engine) It's not required, they will be discovered eventually, though it's a way of speeding up the process, as the index is anything but exhaustive still.
See how good the brand is, you called it Office :) that doesn't exist any more.
The first layoff is always the worst. You'll treat future gigs as transactional and be better for it. The younger you're laid off the sooner you'll learn this.
Well, it is not software developers that won't be needed anymore. It is large corporations. If a small team of developers can make huge projects. There is no reason for them to work for a large business.
Proton does not allow you to use standard protocols (IMAP/SMTP), which is a deal-breaker for me.

It's not "exactly the way it is" everywhere, though. I've worked at companies that, whenever they laid someone off, they were honest and upfront about it without playing any psychological tricks. Not every company has to be this devoid of soul.

Let us face it, the European welfare model is a blind alley. No one in the world is going to copy this from us again, now that it is clear that it makes us

a) uncompetitive - taxes too high, too much protection for people who might not merit it;

b) less likely to start new businesses - in theory, you can have a great welfare system and a great atmosphere for enterpreneurship, but in practice, the former will usually stifle the latter, as the "eat the rich" types will dominate the discourse;

c) extremely vulnerable to the aging problem. Too many pensioners, not enough kids, not enough highly qualified migrants who have zero reason to subject themselves to lower compensation, higher taxation and, on the top of all, interaction with bureacracy that insists on the local language. OTOH hardly literate people from Afghanistan or Niger don't mind any of that; the German / Dutch / Swedish welfare system will take care of them even if they do nothing and/or immerse themselves in the black market.

IDK how to get out of this pickle, the local population is addicted to high welfare spending and other onerous protections like to crack and won't vote against it, even though it is becoming clear that as we fall more and more behind the US, we won't be able to afford a system like that.

Robust welfare states can be only carried by robust economies and a lot of young workers. Those conditions existed in the 1960s or 1970s, and our current systems are downstream from that, but the foundation is eroding with every passing year.

The final collapse will be pretty ugly, something like Argentina, but full of 70 y.o. paupers. Weaker spots in the EU already have a huge problem providing healthcare to the elderly, or even anyone. On paper, it is an universal right, but in reality, there simply aren't enough doctors to carry this obligation out.

The Czech Republic is somewhere in the middle, nowhere near as bad as rural Bulgaria, but try finding a dentist who accepts insurance patients outside the major cities like Brno and Prague. That will be an exercise in the impossible.
It helps to find smallish but stable companies, making enough to be safe while not having crazy ambitions of 2x growth every xx months. It's much more relaxed, there is less office politics, churn rates are much lower, stress is non existent, &c. Usually they have older employees with families and a life outside of work.
Without regulations the EU would be the place with no environmental and labour regulation. That only show the industry does care about others well being just about their profit and you want to give them card blanche?
I'm using PPR for domain rankings, but it's a very weak factor. It mostly affects the physical ordering on the results in the index, and given that queries have a timeout they'll execute for, it makes it so that higher ranking results are discovered first. Though in general, as I mentioned, this is a weak effect.
