Readit NewsWhen done correctly, layoffs give 100% of the pain to 10% (or whatever) of the people, but you get to select the worst-performing people. Spreading the pain equally is much more liable to cost you your best-performing people.
I do think the one important thing to note is that the reference you quoted is to a manufacturer, where you've probably got more consistent performance across a given type of employee as compared to software developers.
If you have options there’s no good reason to stay.
too bad they hit some limits as repos become larger and larger, tried to implement a new storage engine, and basically they never managed to iron out all bugs out of it in time, while the older storage engine entered feature freeze and was basically abandoned.
I've been checking them for years, and there were file corruption issue for so long, I lost interest in tracking the status anymore, as by that point I wrapped my head around the git model.
Are you kidding? Subversion had a notoriously awful way of handling merges, which was a huge driver of people onto Git as soon as it appeared. You truly had to have been there to believe it, but in all but the simplest of merge scenarios, declaring branch bankruptcy and manually moving things back into the target branch by hand was your only real option. Early to mid 2000s, the most common team branching strategy I saw with subversion was "there's only one branch and everybody does all the development in it because god help you if you try to put it back together after branching for something".
It wasn't until well after the momentum was clearly in Git's favour and a huge chunk of the user base was gone that Subversion finally fixed it to not be complete dogshit.
Apple has literally never posted “here’s a ream of benchmarks vs the Dell XPS XYZ and HP modelnumbersneeze738462” — pretending this is indicative of some grand conspiracy to hide performance deficiencies of these new M2 models the way GP is, is silly.

I wouldn’t call 2x and 3x “similar”.
Also I don’t see why author thinks desktop chips with integrated graphics are meant to be paired with a discreet GPU. Surely the opposite is true. I got a faster CPU by not getting one with integrated graphics.
Finally, doesn’t the fact that apple has a fundamentally different rendering pipeline relevant?
Is it still all that fundamentally different? All of the RDNA parts are tile-based renderers (I think even the Vega series GCN parts made that switch?)
Zen 4 increases the CCX size to 8, so each CCD only has one.
I can't remember exactly how Zen 1 worked but I think it was different.
I mean, if you want to argue that the story is actually a substantive and intellectually interesting one, containing significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...), and it's just the title that's sensational-indignant, that would be fine. But that bar is necessarily pretty high when it comes to garden-variety political pieces. If it weren't, then HN would just be a political site.
Edit: btw, adding comments definitely does not help a post stay on the front page - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34041016.
Why would I want to argue that? It certainty doesn’t describe the million identical ChatGPT circlejerks that rocket to the front page without getting flagged out of existence.
This NFT story was no less tech adjacent than them, and no less vapid and inane than them, but it had the appearance of being embarrassing for a certain hyperpartisan political segment, so it was flagged by a bunch of those supporters, and you in your infinite fecklessness are sitting here back-inventing justifications for this flag based on “well no I’m sure all those flags were about the low intellectual quality of the article” as if 97% of the front page wasn’t idiotic pablum aimed at potted plants.
It’s hard to take seriously the suggestion that you’re too stupid to realize those flags weren’t politically motivated and not just a comment on its indistinguishable-from-any-other-garbage-that-gets-popular quality.
Incredibly embarrassing statement for someone moderating this place to be making.
