> We often hear that "people leave managers, not jobs." But sometimes, people leave jobs despite loving their managers.

These two aren’t really mutually exclusive. Your manager may be extremely friendly and accommodating to you personally (as it seems like the author’s manager was), but part of a manager’s job is growing and supporting their reports with their career goals. If you’ve spent years majorly underleveled like it seems this person did, your manager is failing you. No matter how much of a nice person they might be, they’re not doing their job well if you’re attempting to grow at the company and aren’t succeeding.

So yes, I do think that this person still left a manager. He left a manager who wasn’t meeting the needs he had to stay at the company.

M1 mac minis or macbooks?

MacBook Air, though the $379 price does seem to be a Black Friday deal: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Restored-Apple-MacBook-Air-13-Lap...

Yes! Very excited, anyone know when it's coming to Portland and Seattle?

Seattle, at least, already has Waymo cars in the "human-driven data gathering" mode that this article is announcing.

For those unfamiliar with Apple’s new version-numbering system, this is the version that will be released in 2027, presumably around September or October of that year.

"Software Applications Incorporated"... what a very generic company name
geoffpado · 5 months ago
Between this and The Browser Company of New York (Arc, Dia) it seems like having a generic name is the way to get acquired these days.

Wow, it supports m1 and m2 Macs! I kind of love the idea of getting back to a proper Unix environment on a reasonably current Mac.

  As has been previously pointed out, the 2001 and 2012 quantum factorisation records may be easily matched with a dog trained to bark three times [33]. We verified this by taking a recently-calibrated reference dog, Scribble, depicted in Figure 6, and having him bark three times, thus simultaneously factorising both 15 and 21. This process wasn’t as simple as it first appeared because Scribble is very well behaved and almost never barks. Having him perform the quantum factorisation required having his owner play with him with a ball in order to encourage him to bark. It was a special performance just for this publication, because he understands the importance of evidence-based science.
I look forward to more dog-based science.

> we also estimate that factorising at least two-digit numbers should be within most dogs’ capabilities, assuming the neighbours don’t start complaining first

Helpful script, except it prints the same line regardless of the version found.
geoffpado · 5 months ago
If I’m remembering correctly, the original script he found had different emoji in the two lines (red X vs. green checkmark), but since HN comments strip emoji, pasting it here made them equivalent.
