The agreement is that if you earn a wage you have your time available for the employer, so they could no longer reject offers. You're saying that they should get both the benefits of freelancers (pick work) and employees (minimum wage)

That would only hold true if shares always trade against a fixed P/E ratio, and with rising interest rates up P/E ratios have historically gone down.

From memory: Products prices are determined by costs + profits. Inflation is a rise of that sum. Economists traditionally hyper-focus on costs, primarily wages, as the cause of inflation, while completely ignoring profits. The podcast featu

For a counterpoint, see the Planet Money episode "Inflation and the Profit-Price Spiral" [1], where a researcher has some convincing arguments that yes, corporate decisions and profits are one of the most important drivers of the

What a weird take. Parent obviously meant @X meta-programming annotations, not language syntax and keywords with a specific definition. The definition that includes it is so broad that it loses all meaning, it would make "private"

You seem to trigger on "diversity" and immediately go into a - slightly troubling if you ask me - rant. Diversity means "diverse group of opinion on free software" in this context, not necessarily "diverse group of

squashing is a form of rebasing, albeit a narrower and simpler case. Indeed I do not understand why rebasing is so popular instead of merging when you're going to squash at the end anyway.

The EU has brought several antitrust cases against Microsoft regarding Windows and Office and succeeded, and recently fined them for anti-competitive behavior on video calling software.

You've slipped down quite the slope to go from antitrust of companies operating in the jurisdiction to foreign natural persons.

Interesting, this does sound a bit like clean-room reverse engineering which is a tried-and-true method for reproduction without breaking copyright, but you having access to and having reviewed the GPL implementation would break that mold.

in both the text snippet and the audio it sounds to me like 2 people politely pretending that the offer wasn't made. Notice how the CEO basically immediately cuts off the call after the "clarification"

the first part yes, the second part would be more like causing a public nuisance.

Same, while it's blatantly clear that Reddit is trying to kill 3rd party apps, I don't get the sentiment that this is being misrepresented at all. The audio gives me a very strong "would be a shame if someone would stir up tr

Plenty of new Serious™ Programming™ Projects™ use boring technology like Java and have for a long time. Once being the hot new thing and falling out of favor does not mean it's now a proven boring technology.

To be honest it sounded like that to me too. It's very hard to differentiate between some honest clumsy phrasing and fishing for a payout, and the "clarification" doesn't help with that since it could also be an excuse t

It's a fair point, although you can set it up to only do explicit defined dependencies which I definitely recommend.

2007 was well into Intel Core territory, Intel had given up on clockspeed-at-all-costs Pentium 4 Netburst, so it was generally accepted that clocks weren't going to keep up as fast as before.

Project Valhalla has been announced 9 years ago and nothing relevant is in the JDK yet, I don't think this will be relevant for day-to-day Java for several more years at least.

Unfortunately, Hotspot does not do all that much in that regards either in my experience. Graal is better but lags in language support and usage.

Nice. I'm always slightly disappointed in the amount of optimization and intrinsics in the JDK for these kinds of fundamental and frequently-used methods, despite this always being one of the main arguments for JIT.

Is brushing twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and floss or similar not a thing in the US? In Europe most countries don't fluoride tap water and there's not a massive tooth decay problem.
