Re:Meta to Layoff 10k Employees on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @09:20AM (#35150987)
> Overall, we expect to reduce our team size by around 10,000 people and to close around 5,000 additional open roles that we haven’t yet hired.

Well, that just depends on the programming book? If you pick up TLPI it will talk about stat and inodes. Pick up a book on perf, it will talk about syscall overhead, etc

I don't think that's a fair comparison. It's more like would you want your physical ailments treated by an unfit but talented medical professional or the fittest person at your local gym?

This was the core motivation behind why I started https://www.discoverdev.io/

Ran this for about 4 years before I called it a day earlier this year. Got busy with graduation and job searching! I do plan to start it again after I find a job and settle down :)

Well the companies choose to own the network and run closed protocols. They are not just running a free service but gatekeeping an whole audience.

Either have standard open protocols or be regulated.

The classics should be available outside of scihub!

For example, Prior Analytics http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/prior.html

Most famous papers are available via Google scholar!

I curate a bunch of them at https://www.discoverdev.io/ if you're interested.

Been running for a few years now! Probably have a few 1000 articles curated :)

Yes, India doesn't use millions and billions, but lakhs and crores.

10 lakh = 1 million

100 lakh = 1 crore

RSS is as you mentioned, syndication. Not discovery.

I guess apps like feedly have RSS recommendations, but that's not the same thing.

Alternatively if the voice were male you'd have people complaining that it reinforces the idea that technology is male centric and it further alienates women in tech.

But yeah, I'd love gender neutral voice assistants as well.

https://exrx.net/ is another amazing exercise "database" which I've used for a long time!
Shh... Its "allow-list" and "block-list" now!
CHI has a lot of subcategories, each subcategory has a best paper award!

Ask HN: Does Dropbox scan your device for competing apps?

I installed Google Drive's "Backup and Sync" app for Mac yesterday, and within a couple of hours I get a mail from Dropbox saying - "We noticed that you haven't added any files recently. Save important PDFs, photos, and work docs to Dropbox to keep your files safe."Is this just a coincidence or did they react to me installing Google Drive?
