They could also show ads in some fashion I suppose. Only thing you could do is move to another server - but at least you can do something other than leave the whole platform.

Does seem a bit odd at second glance, seems like hitting the back button undos scrolling instead of navigating back to HN, depending on how much I scrolled. Maybe it's a feature though. Firefox for Android 107.1.0 with uBO.

Having hired hundreds of engineers, it's the same feeling on the other side as well: The recruiters will tell you that nobody wants to switch jobs around the holidays, so you shouldn't even try. Odd.

You can also only receive this for up to 12 months - afterwards you go into the much lower, somewhat notorious program nicknamed "Hartz 4". You receive funds around the poverty threshold, and they get withheld if you e.g. travel o

If they can do a double Irish with a Dutch sandwich to pay fewer taxes in Europe, I doubt they couldn't find a creative way to deal with this. They only have to be compliant enough for the fines and repercussions to be lower than their

Let me fix that for you: "industry standard products" -> "monopolist's products". Microsoft spent decades aggressively lobbying European governments and companies to use their stuff. Even if this finding has any

I started doing the same 1-2 years ago! Felt bad about giving Jeff Bezos so much money. At first I thought it was gonna be an impossible effort, but since I'd take Google over Amazon any day (although also not super happily), I do a lo

My first instinct was: Is it being shattered in the eyes of normal people though? But I think you may be right. 200 MM users is not enough to truly matter I suppose, but who _really_ cares about Twitter? Journalists. They're spreading

Sorry for going so off topic, down vote if you think it's too far. But: Does anyone else think he's gearing up for running as president for the Republicans at one point in the future? I'm not a US citizen so I just have my ar

I do the same. Hate to be that guy, but I had a strong dislike for him when he first got hyped up years ago, this is just reaffirming an old decision. Does my boycott matter in any way? Yes, to me. That's sufficient.

What else was Musk gonna proclaim about why they were fired? That he needed to scare the remaining staff into submission by getting rid of a few more without any rational selection criteria? It already stopped making sense at "10 most

It basically means you can now try the upcoming release, not just stable vs experimental, which is the choice we had so far. You can select it on a per-game basis, so if things don't work in stable you can select next.

Same. I have quite a bit of OOP background, and I use CLOS, but it's clunky enough (compared to Ruby e.g.) to be a tool of last resort. That said, I mostly work on CL code by myself, maybe CLOS is more useful to large teams, maybe that

Timestamps are used for a lot of scheduling tasks that need to be reasonably precise. So an event happening one second earlier than expected, or even twice, could be a problem I suppose. Not exactly impossible to deal with, but I guess lots

IMAP times out for me as well. That said, I've used Fastmail for years and this is the first time I've had any sort of issue. Can still greatly recommend it.

Good points. Personally, a lot of the appeal of open source is not so much about having free stuff, it's more about being able to learn from others. I learned a ton from the various engines Id Software released back in the day, but hav

Not a big fan of FB as a company, but I think their open source work is pretty impressive. Various other large companies have the problem of giant monorepos that they constantly need to onboard new developers to, but I can't think of a

Companies evolve whatever strategies work best to extract the highest amount of consumer dollars at the lowest cost. I also doubt most of them have specific goals to make their products worse, but brand power, walled gardens, monopolies and

I find this part the most interesting: "Since then, my focus has been on AI research, and part of that involves the design of planning systems that (maybe) can eliminate the need for most programming. You tell them what you want, as yo

I mostly minimize using products from the big tech companies - I found I don't need their stuff nearly as much as I thought. There's a lot of incidental tracking going on there that's hard if not impossible to tackle. I use a

I can't shake the feeling that a lot of the logic around ML models having more or less the same "rights" as humans comes from misleading marketing that they, in any shape or form, resemble human intelligence. AI is a buzzword

Maybe it's the wrong circles? Pretty much all the Kotlin developers I know (like four) do backend work.

Not an Apple user either, but that Bezel looks like an iPhone 12, latest is 14, possible to tell from how wide the bezel (the part with the selfie camera) is - I guess.

FWIW, "intrude on our niche" sounds pretty sour. It's not _all_ bad to have competition, especially someone with a bad rep like Meta/Facebook.

I was very happy with fly.io - migrating my Rails app from Heroku was an absolute no brainer, took me like half an hour. Then I tried Django, and all hell broke loose... Still some ways to go to catch up with Heroku on all fronts I suppose,

Lots of people here have been saying that you should find a new job, which is probably not bad advise, but I do think you could also try to insist on boundaries more. If you don't set any, people won't respect them - it's oft

This! People learn differently - which IMHO schools don't usually account for - but I personally always learned best when putting something to paper (well, preferably the keyboard). At my university, assignments were primarily used for

Well, LLMs, like other ML models, are just algorithms that were automatically derived from test data. Calling that "intelligence" seems fine for marketing, but I doubt it flies in a court of law. IANAL though.
