Definitely a win in the short term view. But that isn't a win in the long term scale. That's just a reset to normal. A long term win would be ensuring they receive appropriate raises for the next two decades and more

Ah haha laughing at the thought of Rand or Johnes actually "working". Nah. They are obstructionists. They don't even know the meaning of the word

Their "big gains" are pretty much just standard of living increases they should have already received. Is it really winning then or just no longer losing as hard?

Edit: My comment above sounds negative on their accomplishment. Not what I intended. I'm just upset this was even required. Them achieving proper compensation now does not make up for the past decades of being underpayed IMO.

Cruise isn't Waymo tbf

Ah yes. I was wondering where I heard "save the Senate" before

One choice I think you've nicely demonstrated: the choice of a solid base and not choosing to add dependencies.

Choosing not to do something can be hard.

Also double points for having a sustainable software project that helps with environmental sustainability. Really walking the walk haha

Aye. I think Hanlon's razor actually applies here. Wacky as that is.

I'm reminding of the humorous attempts to build a bear proof trash can. Ends up a bear proof trash can is also human proof for some humans.

While notable: That wasn't a source on the particular fact cited.

Double overly reductionist takes with no positive contribution. Congrats! This is crap.

Ends up arm chair generals are not competent. /ShockedPikachu

Uhh. Right. I guess they took the efficiency complaints of the prior gen seriously 😳

Looks good!

Strange headline. This is a justice department and foreign relations problem that really doesn't rise to the level of a president problem.

A telling few lines:

Insider: I'm not sure Biden is personally hellbent on revenge. If Biden were to do what you wanted, he'd get hell from a large group of people who he has to work with every day.

Shipton: I'm convinced that the constituency that is against his prosecution is much larger.

So yeah... Not really a Biden problem

Damn do I hate zero bezel phones. I liked to be able to: 1. Hold my phone. 2. See the screen while I'm holding the phone.

Wild expectations huh? Yet, some phone manufacturer seem determined to make unholdable delicate slabs. Bring back the bezel.

No. I don't really follow how images work in Lemmy. Not the first time I've seen (not seen?) Missing images

Trump is the biggest, most huge, patriot. People have told him his patriot is the hugest and bestest

Just look

For profit healthcare is impossible. Fundamentally conflicts with the goals of healthcare. Sooner we realize this and accept the consequences the better.

I dunno why I didn't realize you can add more swap to a system while running. Nice trick for a dire emergency.

Same. I'm patient

I've experienced similar.

One thing that helped: separating research code from production.

Research is to answer a decision problem and much of the optimization problems that are in software engineering do not, and should not, apply.

Once the research problem is answered. Reproducing that answer with production quality systems should be it's own project. This also serves as a reproduction of the science in the research. Satisfying that hallmark of the scientific method.

Course, getting a company to agree to such an arrangement is near impossible. Especially if they have never been crippled by the mismatch expectations of putting research code in production.

As that is an organizational problem not just an engineering problem, good luck convincing management.

An alternative, if I can't get such an arrangement is the building a platform that supports integration of research code. That can be... uh... hard. Aside from the people challenges not all tech can support such a platform.
