You are assuming that all economic activity is rational. One only needs to look at Bitcoin price to know otherwise.

Employer isn't actually getting any value out of making cashiers stand, and in most other countries, it is a sitting job. So far as I can tell, the only reason why US does it is because "we have always done it this way", which is also the ultimate rationale for a lot of other similar bullshit.

The workers, realistically, don't have any choice if every employer does this. They can take the work as it is, or they can starve, especially seeing how US doesn't have full-fledged welfare.

No reason to cave in even a little. China does not allow reciprocal access to their markets for many American and European companies. That’s what the trade negotiations are about. This is just extending the problem further.

Leaving that aside, no country should be doing business with China anyways, as it only gives power to the authoritarian regime that controls China. Trump’s campaign messaging around hard trade policies with China was correct and can help undermine the CCP. Hopefully he will actually deliver and not cave in because of Elon Musk’s business dependencies on China, which I think are a serious risk of corruption. Many already suspect the lack of enforcement on the TikTok ban as being influenced by Elon, and through him, the CCP.

This happened multiple times over the course of a few days, and it makes me think, what's the pattern behind it?

My guess is, departments don't want layoffs, but they don't want to contradict the higher-ups either, so they fire and rehire.

this can work because DOGE only has administrative power and cannot decide the budget, only those who can decide on departmental budgets truly have the power to influence the size of the department

One thing this loses relatively to a conventional doubly linked list is the ability to remove an item while only having its address (or any other iterator pointing to it that is stable across other items being inserted or deleted). And unfortunately that’s often why you’re using a doubly linked list in the first place.

(A less intrinsic flaw is that coding an XOR linked list in strictly conformant C is exceedingly annoying. The standard does not guarantee that equal pointers turn into equal integers upon casting, so you’re forced to make everything into an uintptr_t to, essentially, maintain a canonical integer-cast version.)

DMR was remarkably kind, helpful and accessible. As an undergrad in the mid 80s I read about 'the first' port of Unix (v6) to something other than a PDP-11, the Interdata 8/32. On a whim, I sent an email to dmr@research.att.com (might have even been back as far as research!dmr or dmr@alice.UUCP) asking if there was more info about the architecture as 1) no google and 2) nothing in the uni library. A couple of days later he responded and asked for my (physical) address. A few weeks later, a copy of the instruction set summary manual showed up in my (physical) mailbox. It's IBM 360-ish. Still have it.
My take on this has made it usually worth paying the $3500, since I know that otherwise, maintenance and repairs are up to snuff.

83% skip agreements, 61% get "ripped off". AI – risk analysis, would you use?
Hi,

I'm building an open - source tool (codename TermGuard) to combat "protocol dark patterns". The core addresses a counter - intuitive problem: Why has the ability of humans in the digital age to read agreements regressed to the level of apes?

Technical solution

Use RAG + an adversarial - trained LLM (based on Llama 3) to dissect agreements in real - time and mark high - risk clauses (such as auto - renewal traps).

The browser plugin automatically grabs agreement updates in Gmail/App and compares clause changes in a Git Diff style.

Trump card: When "group - victim clauses" are detected, launch a class - action lawsuit heat map (referencing Swarm Intelligence).

The MVP functions have been implemented.

Parse mainstream agreements such as Spotify/Netflix within 15 seconds (demonstration video).

Clause risk radar chart + one - click generation of rights protection templates.

Localized processing (privacy - sensitive data is not uploaded).

I'd like to hear the community's sharp feedback:

In what scenarios are you most likely to use such a tool? (For example, before subscribing to a service? After being charged?)

Where does the existing solution (such as TOSDR) make you unhappy? Is it the update delay? Or too mild?

If the tool is open - source and allows crowdsourced model training, would you be willing to contribute your own protocol cases where you were "ripped off"?

What's your biggest concern? (Such as legal reliability? Privacy risk?)

Controversial assumptions (welcome to refute):

The engineering community needs protocol parsing more because you are more aware that "the devil is in the details".

Protocol transparency should become a new moral standard following code open - source.

The deterrence of class - action lawsuits is much higher than GDPR fines.

It is quite nuanced, but generally it depends on your intent. If you plan how to commit a crime without intending or encouraging anyone to commit it, that is not illegal, but intending to commit a crime, even if some else does the actual deed or if nobody is even harmed, that is illegal, as they were the perpetrator and succeeded.

In my experience, no.

"Coworker" is universally recognized as a slur for a reason. Think about "coworker music", etc. You go to work and pretend to care about sports or the Drake-Kendrick feud or cape movies (dude Brode Screenguy was so sick in Capeman CXXVIII) and make small talk around the office cooler. Then you go back to your desk and look like you're working. The managers are watching - it's an open office - sometimes they get up and walk around and make idle and foreboding chitchat, and sometimes you are pulled into a hey-how's-it-going that turns into a meeting on your way to the bathroom.

Sometimes I take my 9ams from home. I turn off my webcam and look at my phone. It doesn't matter. Meetings are enrichment for the ex-finance bro who likes to hear himself talk, and necessary for the other managers, most of whom struggle to read and write.

> I learned from a friend, if you are going to need a specific tool and don’t expect to use it a lot (for a single job), buy a cheap one that can do the job at your friendly cheap importer ( harbor freight etc).

A critical factor to keep in mind: What are the implications if the tool fails?

If a failure means I will be inconvenienced and have to buy a better tool next time, sure as hell I'm starting with the cheap one.

If a failure means something expensive is getting messed up or someone's getting permanently harmed, I'm going to aim for the point on the bang-for-the-buck hockey stick right before it turns north.

Linus is in the right. 100% of "software development best practices" seem to be "how can I not take responsibility/liability for this code that affects my users." and "sorry can't reproduce it here." even though it is obviously your fault if you think about it for 1 second.
I don't disagree but I think some of these problems could potentially be solved by having somewhat of a birds nest of a filesystem for large blobs, eg.

/blobs/<sha256_sum>/filename.zip

and then symlinking/reflinking filename.zip to wherever it needs to be in the source tree...

It's more portable than hardlinks, solves your "source of truth" problem and has pretty wide platform support.

Platforms that don't support symlinks/reflinks could copy the files to where they need to be then delete the blob store at the end and be no worse off than they are now.

I'm glad you shared this - I also have light triggered migraines and I didn't realize there were so many others who also did. :) huh! I take ibuprofen and two shots of espresso and lock myself in a dark room and do deep breathing/relaxation -- the latter seems to have been surprisingly helpful for me in the last few years, and makes me wonder if my anxiety response to having the initial aura was actually contributing to worsening the migraine.

My favorite episode was when I went to my doctor, said "yeah, it's good, I haven't had a migraine for like 6 months", and as part of the physical he shined a pen light in my eyes ... and I went home and developed a migraine. sigh.

(Fortunately, some time in my 20s, I stopped getting the headache part for the most part and now just have aura -- which renders me partly unable to see, alas -- and feeling pretty off for a while.)

I’m not sure they will - if there remains a cohort of people who keep buying a new car every x years regardless of the mechanical reliability of their old car, and there aren’t many old cars getting taken off the roads (because they’re highly reliable), it’s plausible that the value of old cars gets pushed down from the oversupply.

Uh, no. Assuming 32-bit pointers, you'd add or subtract them using normal unsigned arithmetic which is modulo 2^32. Essentially the same trick definitely works because all these operations (adding/subtracting/xoring a number) are invertible.

The neat thing about xoring with a number is simply that that operation is its own inverse.

> storing the difference [of prev and next pointers] would require an extra [sign] bit [relative to XOR]

No it wouldn’t. Just let wraparound happen normally and things will work out.

Effectively what you need are functions

pair : ptr × ptr → uintptr
left : uintptr × ptr → ptr
right : ptr × uintptr → ptr

left(pair(x, y), y) ≡ x
right(x, pair(x, y)) ≡ y

Setting all three to XOR is one possibility. But

pair(x, y) = (x + y) mod 2^(width of ptr)
left(p, y) = (p - y) mod 2^(width of ptr)
right(x, p) = (p - x) mod 2^(width of ptr)

is an equally valid one, because addition and subtraction modulo any fixed value are related in exactly the same way as normal addition and subtraction.

It's not clearly defined what hybrid means, and there's different interpretation by different people (and companies).

Some may call 2-3 days in an office hybrid. Some may call hybrid when they can choose to go in or not on any day.

One problem i find is that those who do prefer to work in an office don't actually want the office itself, but the office atmosphere - including the hustle and bustle of people. I imagine that they would not prefer office, if they're the only person in the entire floor.

So instead of thinking in terms of hybrid, i would think in terms of face-to-face or audio/cam over-video.
