I followed the work of another neovimmer where he was able to replicate deferring with vim.pack. Brought my startup time down to sub 100ms.
Definitely worth it to me as it's one less "core" plugin to maintain. Having things like telescope or trouble are one thing, it's quite another to rely on a plugin that changes the way neovim interacts with loading.
It was worth it to me because I never relied on many features of lazy.nvim. The benefit of the approach linked in the PR is that it also defer's loading packages as well. The only one I initially load is alpha.nvim (a dashboard), everything else gets deferred. This brought down my startup time from around 300ms to sub 100ms.
I have had zero issues thus far, also don't use too many plugins (like 50ish). It was way easier than expected, also had help from another person making the plugins load similarly to "lazy" as well. This setup is way way way faster than using lazy.nvim IME, especially my work computer where it would take 300 ms to load. Now it's around 80ms.
My bad, updated the links now. Reason for the passion is that I originally found out about neovim on hackernews where someone shared their dotfiles setup that used vim-plug with neovim. It looked simple to transition and I did.
Unless the remedy is that Google's online ads has to be spun out into a separate company away from their control, I don't see how any remedy can be effective.
What can honestly be done to punish them? I mean punish too, certain entities of Google should not exist.
I think one problem people have is payment processing. There really needs to be a federal program to allow people to easily transfer money as payment. There are too many extractive middlemen with rentier economies and ethics.
There's no reason why Congress can make something like what Brazil has with Pix.
Having a public option for payment processing can do a tremendous amount of good.
I believe that this is where someone like Supertab [1] could really pop off. I don’t honestly don’t think having this as a country-specific service would be useful/beneficial. Not affiliated with ST, just have a friend who works there. I’m yet to encounter a website that offers them, though.
I feel like we need more social equality to advance technologically rather than gadgets. The idea that only the elites and rich can conjure technological wonders is just so demonstrably false and not needed in this moment of history.
Uplifting everyone ensures that we'll be that much more likely to find the next Mozart or Tesla or Torvalds or whoever, if we give them a chance.
But yes, better to acknowledge how capital can be better utilized. You can probably give away free school lunches for an entire generation of children with that $10 billion in Louisiana, or you can give it to Zuckerberg to get slightly richer.
Becomes abundantly clear which one is better for societal advancement.
Well this is about one state, Louisiana, and not the entire nation but nice to know that one single Meta project can provide a nearly 55% of the total costs of for a national welfare program that would unleash 100s of billions in economic value (well fed kids, become well fed students, which become productive workers).
Definitely a waste of capital and a mismanagement of funds if we continue to allow companies like Meta to make these types of projects when you yourself say that these projects are definitely within reach of feasibility and costs.
Paris Marx is writing a book on data centers, so you might get your chance yet! If you want to read about it now tho, he does cite all his sources and transcribes the episodes.
Great podcast, highly recommend it. Paris Marx is writing a book now on data centers. Between him and This Machine Kills it feels great to finally find some high quality tech journalism.
I think you should focus on things you can enforce. For example, in Austria companies are required to provide certain information in job ads (eg. salary range, weekly hours, type of contract) and it's trivial to enforce because you can see if the information is there or not. I'm not sure if it helps with ghost job ads, though.
I think realistically the only way you could enforce this is to legally required registration of job adverts with the government (you register the advert, you receive an ID; anyone advertising jobs without a valid ID is heavily fined), and then also require companies to register the outcome of the advert (internal hire, external hire, withdrawn, etc.).
Then it would be possible to actually identify suspicious behaviour, and you could publish stats about companies' hiring practices so candidates can avoid them etc.
They would have to register them otherwise they could very easily fake the data afterwards, and you wouldn't be able to fine people advertising jobs without IDs. Nobody would have a record of all the jobs a company had advertised.
then it would just be like real estate with off market listings where companies have a black market hiring pool and then just do the legal loophole steps of registering before "officially" posting and immediately hiring their desired candidate... which would probably have the shady side effect of making the policy "look efficient" without actually solving the job search problem.
For this analogy to hold, wouldn't there have to be some way to withhold all people from applying to a job? Why would a company want to do this if it just increases the cost of hiring? What is the benefit to paying more for a workforce when you can just hire people normally.
The alternative could be like a $2000 fine per listing violation. To make it worthwhile to enforce, offer half the fine as a tax credit that can be claimed anonymously after an investigation.
I'm unfamiliar with off market real estate listings (not a thing in the UK). Can you describe what you mean more?
The point is if a company fills 80% of its job postings with internal hires then that's highly suss and can be investigated. I don't delaying advertising would change that?
