There seems to be a typo in the 4th paragraph (directly under the struct memory table). I'm counting a padding of 7 bytes. 96 (size of struct) - 89 (size of primitive types) = 7. The first padding consist of 3 bytes to correctly align the 4 byte int after a 1 byte bool. Second padding is 2 bytes due to a 4 bytes int following two 1 byte bools and third padding is 2 bytes as described in the blog, 3+2+2=7 bytes of padding.
Hm very strange the title did have to do with Flock Safety when it was first posted and now is referencing Claude not sure of user error or something to do with hacker news. I’ll put a tin foil hat on for just a second, Flock Safety is a graduate of Y Combinator so maybe the misnaming is not as innocent as it may seem?
My 2 cents: I live in the Atlanta metro and it’s crazy just how much Flock has permeated communities. From main streets to small neighborhoods flock safety cameras are in use everywhere, it is off putting. I’m not sure if HOAs are the ones OKing them or if it’s the city but having a private corporation able to run cameras that read plates and can potentially surveil home consistently seems like undue erosion of privacy
Ok keeping the dividend aside another way to look at this is instead of layoffs they insituted a pay cut for everyone with senior personnel taking more of the effect. Of course questions arise of what headwinds are they really facing or are they just taking advantage of the current rhetoric but either way I am a fan.
Just wanted to chip in; great explanation. Often as a citizen of one country vs another it is tough to understand the logic behind some decisions but this actually made sense to me. Still think the costs of war is high but the logic behind entertaining such an idea is a little clearer.
Hey I'm not a diplomat but I believe the problem with this specific problem is that in the the case of 'right to clean environment' how to you protect your rights? Do you sue your neighbor for litter or the company down the street for emissions? How do you prove that emissions are out of control? Also how do developing nations who may not have the legal strength who are just as affected by pollution from developed nations exercise their rights?
Now the question of a slippery slope could be that with a right to clean environment developed nations could stifle growth and innovation in developing nations citing clean environment worries (maybe Nigeria and oil). This could go way deeper than oil however as any country trying to harvest any sort of natural resource can face scrutiny and potential action. In an extreme example developed nations could then say 'we will mine these resources because we can do it less intensively' robbing nations of potential nation building revenue. How would you combat this? Maybe a 'right to develop' and boom rights dilution and authoritative in nature. Perhaps am extreme example but extreme isn't too far with people involved.
Is there a link to his actual talk?
What text would you recommend to aspiring graphics engineers?
I'm curious because I'd also like to take steps to lower my carbon footprint. How do you travel for vacations? Do you only take local ones? And also how about people that you want to see in other areas of the country/world?
I agree with all your points but as an aside tickets where I currently live are $5 before 6pm or $5 with a student ID (held on to college one) anytime. Moviepass still would be a deal here.
As someone living in one of those top places, I think the usual consensus is that cities like New York and San Francisco and Washington DC are the most expensive cities to live in yet I live in a relatively conservative state tax-wise and people out here are still getting killed by the house prices. Rent has doubled in almost 3 years as well as many low-income families being pushed out of areas that used to formally inhabit.
I have a question, why do companies go public later into their lifespans? If I was Uber wouldn't I want to go public within a year or two of extreme success (2013-2014) where my popularity and reviews are higher to garner more interest and therefore more buyers at a higher initial price? Instead its maybe 8-10 years after launch where regulations and lawsuits have attacked the business model. Correct me if I'm wrong just wondering.
Honestly as a Kenyan American, its scary to see my country move in manners wholly authoritative. It seems the government is consolidating its power. As we get closer ties to China, our government gets stronger without fixong existing corruption that is rampant and widespread.

I'm still a student so I don't have too much expendable income to be putting it into things that I want to but I do like to invest in the stock market. I've been able to maintain ~30% roi (beginners luck?) which I then use to travel. But as a black man too, I believe in investing back into the community. Especially programs you wish you had when you were younger. One of my goals is to go to local schools and pay some of the children's school lunch debts. Its ultimately your choice but look around see which ideas you like and implement them. Be smart with it too. And kudos for the journey you've went through, not enough of us in that field.
Your artwork is great, the ink wash is amazing
Out of curiosity, how does a company lay off ~220 employees yet still have many open positions on its website? I looked at the jobs section for snap and it seems like they have a plethora of engineering jobs despite laying off 120 engineers. Why?
