It's not totally clear to me, but it is telling that the union members specifically say boeing needs to "stop breaking the law" and that the rejected deal included an allegedly large pay increase. 96% turning that down doesn't feel like the increase just wasn't enough to me

Is there still a bootcamp team? I thought they abandoned that with the shift to Apple silicon

> If a Chinese company did this, the company would be cancelled.

It's worth noting that this is the first time I've ever heard of this company in my life. Something can't be "cancelled" if it has no mind share.

> Requiring a company to write recommendation letters would be compelling speech

It would, but that's not what's being discussed.

The accusation is that the companies are restricting speech by saying that managers cannot provide a reference, even if they clearly state in said reference that the views are their own and not that of their employer. Nobody is trying to compel anyone else to provide a reference, the idea is that nobody should be prohibited from it, especially since for long term employees leaving on good terms their manager(s) is/are probably one of their best references.

I tried asking an LLM for assistance with Chef Policyfiles today (more specific than that of course), and the response was as if it was for a non-existent product rather than Chef. It even included a code block that it claimed I could run on repl.it if I had an account, which resembled a resource block in chef (policies are not a kind of resource).

If a coworker confidently gave me code that is not only wrong, but relies on things that don't exist, I wouldn't call it creative. If they tried to claim that no I'm wrong, it is real, I might even say they hallucinated it.

Tried putting that verbatim into Phind, got back an essay on how to get funding to start a business. In the conclusion was this gem: "While the idea of harvesting cat feces for carbon sequestration is innovative, success will depend on thorough research, strategic planning, and effective execution."

Those are all closed-loop messaging systems. If anything whatsapp/imessage/whatever are more vulnerable to what was suggested because they aren't open/standardized protocols.

"Select every tile with motorcycles", shows an image of a single motorcycle parked on the street. Does the sliver of a tire that shows up in the bottom right tile count, or not? This is never clear, and I end up usually getting it wrong until they show me one that's unambiguous.

> Restricting innovation to only things approved by people with the right values and goals has quite a track record of backfiring spectacularly.

Counterpoint: not restricting innovation in any way has quite a track record of backfiring spectacularly, too, because it turns out the goal is often "make as much money as possible at the expense of everyone else".

I don't recall that there was ever anything inherently wrong with using tables for layout, except that it was a misuse of tables so we were told it wasn't "semantic". Thus you had years of people asking on forums how to emulate tables using a mess of floating divs until flexbox/grid came around. In retrospect, tables are also clearly incompatible with phone screens, but that wasn't really a problem at the time.

Really cool idea! I didn't get very far though, as the precarious pathway slowed to a complete crawl with heavy input lag, so I couldn't make any of the jumps (Firefox on an M1 MBP)

On a technical level that's true. But the actual intention here is "places where you can see the sky", not places with low light pollution. Air quality is highly seasonal, and winter tends to have far clearer skies for assorted reasons. Wouldn't you be a bit upset if you booked a place way out in the country for stargazing and every rancher had just lit their fields ablaze?

That said it's probably asking quite a lot to composite that kind of data together in any meaningful way. You need a lot of domain knowledge for that.

This is the impression I've gotten from my gay male friends as well. One in particular seems to get better luck from going to small-medium themed events that are thin excuses for meeting potential partners.

On the contrary...

Musk gets criticism for the things he does do, not the things he doesn't do. It's pretty rare I see any acknowledgement, especially in the media, of how little he has personally accomplished with Tesla or SpaceX, the focus is always on his next big stunt (twitter buyout, boring company, hyperloop).

Gates was absolutely vilified when he was the active head of Microsoft, essentially seen as the devil incarnate by many. But a few years after he retired and went all-in on philanthropy, he became a saint in the media and the general zeitgeist. Now that he's just making passive billions off his investments, everyone stopped caring how he gets the money and just about what he does with it.

The main sell of redis is the flexibility, if you take that away then why use redis over something that treats schemas as a first class citizen?

Censorship is not and cannot be a blanket defense for companies to get away with not moderating their content, and for Google this information is content.

Google in particular left behind the excuse of "we just serve what's already available" when they started weighting results for political and commercial gain and labelling things as factual. They clearly do not act as a dumb pipe for information gathering.

IMI, as soon as they started exercising editorial privilege on data they serve, they became responsible for this kind of thing. Uncensored search results can only come from an engine that isn't censoring for their own benefit anyway.

I think I last used eclipse about 5 years ago, when I switched to VSCode. At the time, eclipse still felt like 2008 software, extremely sluggish and clunky. In particular, it really suffered taking advantage of multiple monitors.

What's changed since then? Has it gone through some kind of massive redesign?

Semi-related, it's wild how much FM transmitters have improved since the early aughts. I drive a vehicle from 2005 without a tape deck or aux jack, so I picked up a cheap one that receives a bluetooth signal (from my phone), then bridges that to the radio over an FM frequency. The audio quality is truly impressive compared to the iTrip's and such of 20 years ago.

There's also microphones and cameras that can act as inputs, it just turns out they don't offer much power over kb/m.

But really, the problem being solved by OP was not enough outputs, rather than not enough inputs.

Which is nearly impossible to do unless you also own the hardware. It's allegedly one reason BeOS failed, OEMs almost unanimously refused to offer it on their hardware because of the threat of losing their Windows licenses. There was a pretty big lawsuit about it that ended with a settlement and MS not admitting anything.

Gaming would definitely be a case where I can see the placement mattering a lot more.

A high yield savings with Discover has a 4.3% APY right now. That's higher than both the mortgage I took out in 2016 and the loan I took out a few years later for new windows on said house.

Not 7%, but also way better than cash.

For me personally, the number row is far enough away from the home row that my fingers become inaccurate. It's not unlikely that when I reach for 7 I'll hit 6 instead. That's easy enough to correct in normal operation, less so for entering lots of numbers.

Another issue is when doing data entry or 2fa codes, one hand tends to be busy holding something. The number row is basically unusable one-handed as far as I'm concerned.

And for me, mouse distance from the keyboard has never been an issue, because I use them in different scenarios. It's not often that I'm dual wielding them to the point shoulder angles are a concern. If I'm spending hours coding, the amount of mouse usage is going to be minimal.

You might expand that initialism, I don't feel like it's a well known one. I assume MOC is a person?

As I've understood it, one reason they will refuse to do anything about those cases is because they can't really differentiate between "this is dangerous" and NIMBYs who don't want traffic down their quiet suburban street.

But also, if people are actively complaining about it, maybe that's a good indicator the street shouldn't be used as a thoroughfare in directions. Being a little bit faster isn't a good justification, and back road shortcuts aren't something that should be widely advertised to tourists and visitors.

> The rest of the country has a surplus of water from rain

I think this too strong of a generalization.

The Great Plains region, for example, relies on the Ogalalla Aquifer for it's groundwater, which has been dropping at accelerating rates because so many farmers and ranchers draw heavily from it (even more than they would otherwise, thanks to crop subsidies), along with being a huge drinking water source. The depletion of groundwater is a big deal in that region.

Rules of three/trinities are incredibly common in human societies, does the choice of naming affect anything very much?

I also feel like it's a bit disingenuous to refer to baseball as a "child's game", when most people know it for the professional variety played by high end athletes.

> you can't fault a lot of non-bonsai trees for considering how they might qualify.

I will 100% fault them for acting on it. Just like I'll fault a company for choosing terrible single use plastics that increase their bottom line a bit, and companies that use AI to reduce head count. You can disagree with a decision even if you understand why it was made.

Funny enough I frequently have the opposite problem, justifying repeatedly why Cassandra is a bad fit for relatively short lived, frequently updated data (tombstones, baby).

I dont think that would have helped, half the issue was mixing environments. The master key was generated on Linux, where the passphrases weren't truncated, but it was being used on Solaris where they were. If it had been generated on Solaris or used in Linux the problem wouldn't be there. To find this in testing, you'd have to predict that "data being generated one place and used on another" could be a vector for bugs, and that's not necessarily obvious
