"And remember... don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!"

Sorry this is one of those things that bugs me - but "don't be evil" was never removed from their code of conduct. It's placement was moved though from the start to the end, and you could argue whether it's less important because of that if you want.. but it is still there.

I always hate the James Damore discussion because it's like the least interesting part. You have a company dealing with internal political mayhem trying to find the least disruptive, not only internally but now externally because this shit has leaked. It's a workplace, and youre trying to keep people effective and working. And some googlers got too comfortable with what they were sharing on a work machine, not just to their coworkers, but tens of thousands of employees.

The support of war efforts is clearly a change in moral compass that is much more fascinating though.

This isn't happening on Google Maps though is it? We're just talking about Apple Maps here.

I don't necessarily like the idea of a company wiping their hands clean and saying "well - not our problem!" either though.

Companies shouldn't wait to solve issues like this - they should be proactively helping their most vulnerable users. That is the "do no evil" motto.

I don't know enough to say whether this method is the right approach however.

I think it's more about how using "most" as a measurement, no matter who the audience is that you pool from, is not a good way of producing a valuable list. In the end, having someone learned and well read produce a hand-written list with deeper cuts brings more value.

He is definitely "online". I saw him tweet about Hasan's dog which - you have to know about streaming political figures and the latest happenings at least a little bit. Maybe not addicted but he knows what is up and still has the views he has.

Well if you're using the standard library then you're not really paying attention to allocations and deallocations for one. For instance, the use of std::string. So I guess I'm wondering if you work in an industry that avoids std?

What industry do you work in? Modern RAII practices are pretty prevalent

Tbh I think it's ok - as much as I also want to avoid Twitter I do encourage original sourcing, especially since these nitter services can also have downtime fairly often. As long as someone jumps in and shares a link

This seems problematic to me. Beyond just caching issues, did you ever get permission from users to store their personal data? They gave google permission, but not you.

Yes! Recently came across a profilic Neovim plugin developer who used their phone for development:

Meanwhile, i struggle to be efficient on my 13 inch screen

Yes. I'm not for calling out individual people, those who probably had hope and some may be young and didn't have the warning flags going off. I can only imagine they're disappointed and had no malice.

But people who have some level of fame who put their name behind it, and who had some influence in inspiring others down this wrong path most definitely need to address it. If you truly believe the intelligence of tech people over others in every field which led you down this path, follow the proper postmortem process.

It is absolutely not all major employers. I'm on a visa and have worked for two major tech companies in the US over the last 10 years. I have never been a contractor. I've also compared salaries and know I am doing comparable or better. The majority of my team have always been naturalized citizens.

Per the proclamation:

"the entry into the United States of aliens as nonimmigrants to perform services in a specialty occupation under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), is restricted, except for those aliens whose petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of $100,000 — subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (c) of this section. This restriction shall expire, absent extension, 12 months after the effective date of this proclamation, which shall be 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 21, 2025."

So it applies to all H1Bs. Subsection c is limited (but will be interesting to see how it plays out) so I don't bother sharing.

Arseny Kapoulkine is an amazing engineer. Highly recommend following his blog or social media. Other than working on luau and the rendering engine at Roblox, he's also responsible for meshoptimizer which if you're in graphics you've most definitely heard of, and volk, which now comes packaged with the Vulkan SDK.

Ok gave this a try. Actually pretty handy. I wish I didn't clean up my Windows PC so I could compare indexing of files, but it did a good job of finding most things but the things I searched for Windows was able to find too. But its nice to have an easy shortcut to Google search and also having Google Lens on my PC to translate text, ask questions about a screenshot etc. I love this feature on my android.

The UI is a little annoying at times. Some apps receive the alt+space key so it doesn't always behave like you expect.

Checking Task Manager it used about 43MB of memory whether running as a background process or in the foreground, showing search results.

No more dangerous than somebody photoshopping when we saw the rise of figma, ubering when Lyft just posted a great quarter with stock buybacks, or skyping when, well, the product doesn't exist anymore.

As someone who uses C++ daily, very excited for Carbon. I really align with the goals they have set. Its a shame communities like r/cpp block any discussion of successor languages but I hope once this language starts gaining more momentum and nearing release, it will begin to market itself and get more attention.

Why not Partiful? It's already widely adopted, has all the features you need, isn't owned by a big tech company, doesn't require an account, and is multiplatform.

One of the greatest books I've ever read. It is long and took me a couple of months to absorb this one, but in return the amount of detail is staggering and it never ever felt like it got boring or tedious or overstayed it's welcome.

What I loved about Fuchsia was its IPC interface, using FIDL which is like a more optimized version of protobufs.

The part i find most fascinating is that when JCal does push back, the YouTube comments are so disproportionately telling him his opinion is wrong (in a venomous way), he is ruining the podcast, Sacks is running circles around him, etc.

I would be very very surprised if this were just limited to cats and dogs. If you've ever seen previously factory-farmed pigs, cows, and sheep there is just so much joy and care in them. Our relationship with animals needs to be heavily reevaluated.

I know someone who had what can only be described as a nightmare scenario from using couchsurfing. I don't know many of the details, and not something I want to pry into, but she was essentially kidnapped, trapped in a house, and had her passport stolen by the host in a foreign country where she didn't speak the language and on her first trip overseas. This was also before smart phones were just commonplace such that everyone had one.

That was a really enjoyable thread, and what a great resolution. Not really my type of music but I'll ha e to give the song a listen in a couple of days when it becomes available.

When comparing a signed and unsigned integer, the signed integer is promoted to unsigned integer.

So if you have a = -1, b = 1000 and compare the two, a > b is actually true.

It did raise concerns and it was reviewed by multiple bodies around the world, with many concessions made. Do you believe every single review body got it wrong on the facts?

Mike Masnick is probably one of the most critical people of Elon. You've may have read one of his articles prior, perhaps in the early days when Elon bought Twitter. His analysis of Elon's obligations to purchase Twitter, criticism of Elon's approach to content moderation (and lack of understanding), it's all been pretty good and legally sound.

The fact that he is praising Elon here says something.

Consider getting a blood test if you haven't already. At the very least, it'll help you knock off any possibilities that you may be low in iron, vitamin D, or vitamin B12. For me, that turned out to be the case and taking supplements fixed the issue.

And this goes without saying but have you tried, and I mean REALLY tried the following (be honest with yourself):

- Cut down on your phone time. Delete your apps for at least a month. Cut down on news. Cut down on distractions. Even your normal apps you find useful, turn off any notification sounds or popups.

- Exercise regularly.

- Eat a healthy diet, nothing that spikes your blood sugar like sugar-heavy or processed food.

I'm not saying this is the solution for every one and the solution for everything, but there have been multiple times in my life I haven't felt like myself and returning to these "basics" really helped me.
