#BREAKING: Watch Duty has emergency deployed in Texas ahead of schedule due to the horrific wind-driven fires in the #Texas Panhandle. We can’t sit idly by and watch another town overrun by wildfire without giving communities life-saving information needed to make informed

Oh the shade to employers in the announcement: "The Commission also finds that instead of using noncompetes to lock in workers, employers that wish to retain employees can compete on the merits for the worker’s labor services by improving wages and working conditions."

RELEASE DAY After almost 10 years of hard work, tireless research, and a dive deep into the kernels of computer science, I finally realized a dream: running a high-level language on GPUs. And I'm giving it to the world! Bend compiles modern programming features, including: -

Never heard of Pluslife before! Looks like some good literature to read already published about it. Something to replace the Cue 🫠

As a University of Washington alumna, I wonder if UW leadership will manage anything like the condemnation for this that they saw fit to send towards pro Palestinian protests this spring.

I'm looking to change my career path and am quite excited about exploring jobs in biotechs in the Bay Area (or remote). I'm very keen to start a career that offers stability so my partner and I can finally live in the same state. Does anyone know of organizations that are hiring?
