Was about to say this one, it is very good!

Copies are just very strong statistical correlations.

I have seen another contributing factor in CS: it is really hard for the management to keep a good senior to junior ratio ie. A lot of juniors are trying to enter the workforce today. It means that during covid and shortly after the companies definitely relaxed as much as they could the geographical constraints for senior remote roles, also being senior they trusted them to work remotely not needing too much direct supervision. And now it backfires when your company is in silicon valley and you ask your senior developer from the boonies Colorado to move to an industrial concrete jungle.

So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.

Neovim (nvchad) with copilot to write Rust. Why? The terminal environment is super flexible: I have 2 desktops and a laptop running on Arch Linux, all the same dotfiles with tmux to keep my sessions alive.

It all depends on your application domain: I mainly build embedded Linux code for a transportation drone.

Oh you lost a screw … Let me see … That will be $3k for the screw but we do have a cool new iPhone too you know!

Such a sad coincidence

I don’t think you need an economist to understand why it can quickly lead to a runaway disaster… Imagine you see a car price going down every week by 1k, do you buy it this week or next week? The competitor what do you think they need to do to compete? Lower their price too but wait everybody is waiting for next week, so literally nobody is buying anymore … So as a company you just start to fire people or close shop as quickly as possible, so a lot of people are now on the market so their labor value also goes down, ie. the salaries are dropping… This tsunami of jobless people would they buy a car this week you think? So companies need to continue dropping the prices…

Fun to think that someday if USB C finishes to eradicate HDMI/DP they might become the sign that it is retro… Look at that! They had a dedicated plug for the video signal back then :)

What I understand from the context is that it was a spying device but they jammed the hell out of it while flying over the US then took it down.

Amazing!
