Could this be a factor in tech industry layoffs?

Coincidentally(?), "Laid off tech workers quickly find new jobs" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34161528) is also on the HN front page right now.

It very much depends on their specialty. Some niche position are available once a year or less, in my country, while regular developers are hired by the thousand every month.

Approaching the 1 year mark of running my team's various data pipelines on k8s. Keeping up to date with k8s/EKS version lifecycles has been more work than expected. No plans to stop using it anytime soon.

There is a Microsoft store online, why not?

https://www.alice.co/ is one.

The mock screenshot on that page still shows UST for sending money… And a large Do Kwon logo near the bottom!

I want to play around with development on Solana. Not sure where to start. Could use a learning buddy.

Phantom by default requests approval before executing transactions, and shows a simulation (e.g. balance changes like this). This can be disabled in the advanced settings (or users can approve transactions without reading the approval popup...).

This is true, but I think that they really should disable approving the transaction prior to the simulation finishing. Because right now, you can simply approve a transaction blindly without letting this complete and seeing the changes in your account balance, which is probably what the people who got their wallet drained did I'd assume, just blindly click purchase because they are in full FOMO mode for their ape NFT.

If you’re looking for a good next step I recommend CHIP-8.

And if you've written a CHIP-8 interpreter, I recommend playing around with Octo[0] and then participating in the Octojam[1] this October!

Tangent but much larger audience is the original GB game jam coming up next week.

https://itch.io/jam/gbjam-8

The GBJam isn't about making software that runs on a legacy platform; you're using modern game engines, languages, and techniques while imitating the aesthetic limitations of the original Game Boy. (And pretty loosely, at that.)

It's a very different style of creative constraint compared to programming a specific virtual machine with limited RAM and not a multiplier or floating-point unit in sight.

Gotcha, I assumed that it was programming against the original exactly. But I guess the emulators they allow are more flexible/modern takes on the original.

Shameless plug, but if you are going to participate in this game jam, may I recommend checking out GB Studio (https://www.gbstudio.dev/).

It's a wysiwyg game maker, that produces actual Gameboy ROM files

Same. It's really confusing. How do I boot a machine exactly? What's Docker used for? Is this like a locally hosted https://netboot.xyz/ ?

I'm in extremely early stages of writing up some documentation for how to build a Linux distro for a Raspberry Pi 3, gauging interest and figuring out pain points. Shoot me an email [my username]@gmail if you've got ideas or requests!

That sounds interesting. I think your guide would be extra helpful if it focused on building a distro that has as much of the system loaded into memory as possible to minimize amount of reads from the SD card, and which is configured with a read-only file system and never even tries to write to the SD card. That would be very useful. SD card corruption is a pain!

Maybe we can somehow refer to each other? I wrote a guide for a custom board I made running Linux, but it's very low level up to tge stage of getting the kernel running with a minimal user land.

I would be happy to refer to you at the end of mine: brainyv2.hak8or.com

What do you mean by building a distro? Have you looked at Yocto/poky/angstrom? It's kind of a distro-generator.
