> Meta will allow impacted employees to apply for other roles within the company

How gracious.

it means the person/people firing you are so far removed from impacting the business they don't know why you were hired in the first place or why they are firing you now.

I really only use lazy git to review my code before commit it and I inevitably his the wrong scroll key and split the windows in half when I didn't mean to and I have to quit and restart to fix it.

That said, you'll pry that app from my cold, dead fingers.

I don't want to sound unscientific, but when a paper is directly in conflict with what is obviously true, it's OK to use common sense.
onelesd · a year ago
My own (anecdotal) experience tells me that increased social media use is directly proportional to increased bad feelings. Common sense tells me that increased bad feelings over time leads to bigger, worse bad feelings.

About a year ago (I believe), Sam Altman touted his mission to promote safe AI with claims that he has no equity in OpenAI and was never interested in getting any. Look where we are now, well played Sam.
onelesd · a year ago
Sam and all the others. At this point, there should be required courses in college to teach this seemingly required skill to future corporate USA.

> The typical ways that folks - especially folks who don’t program - bump into bots are things like ticket scalping and restaurant reservation bots. Bots that feel selfish and unfair and antisocial.

This reminded me of how a ski resort, Palisades Tahoe, implemented free but scarce parking reservations for weekend parking last winter. Since it's one of the most popular ski destinations from the Bay Area, you can imagine that bots were written. Every time new spots would "drop" (become available for the following weekend) I think on Tuesdays and Fridays or something like that, they'd be gone in seconds. Clearly bots! So naturally I had no choice but to write one. It just alerted me (via Pushover) when cancelations would lead to open slots, it didn't actually reserve spots on its own, but that was good enough to get the job done for me and my crew.

Several Reddit threads had non-bot-writers discussing that bots must be slurping everything up. I felt so antisocial, but really had no choice.

I had to do similar during the first summer of COVID to get my boat onto Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe (and most lakes in CA) requires boat inspections immediately prior to getting onto the water (mostly to prevent Quagga contamination). Those inspections had to be scheduled online during COVID, and there was similar supply & demand to what you describe for parking, so I wrote a bot that notified me (also via Pushover) when a slot became available.

Once I got the reservation I had to tow the boat 9 hours, praying the whole time I didn't have a drop of water on the boat, for which most inspectors will immediately fail you and send you away. The inspection crew there turned out to be pretty awesome though, and they actually washed my whole boat down with hot water which apparently kills any (baby? egg? idk) Quagga muscles.

Now that this work is complete, maybe they will finally fix Slack's input box so that Home and End keys work properly
onelesd · 2 years ago
Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E work. On macos w/ Karabiner you can remap Home and End to those for the Slack app.

onelesd · 2 years ago
I guess it depends on how and why they are used by the developer. Most of the code I write isn't bleeding edge stuff, and using a copilot as a thought partner is pretty useful.
