I'm not for one second suggesting they don't talk to each other and have impromptu meetings. That is absolutely ridiculous. I'm just asking that important details from those discussions find their way to the rest of the team members. I don't think that's asking a lot.

And, going to the office, those conversations will only happen to include me if they happen (they're impromptu, somewhat random) and when I'm there for 1 or 2 days at a time. When I go back home and to my co-working space I'll continue missing things. That's the point.

If the project suffers as a result of all of this, which is what is actually starting to happen, then I suppose by what you're saying here I shouldn't actually care? Heaven forbid I ask _individual people_ to keep _the team_ in the loop about the thing we're all trying to _collectively_ build.
I posted a question in the vein of "unless you're violating copyright or patent law".

How do you know if you are breaking copyright or patent law? How do you figure out the jungle of patents? or patents that are too general and thus similar?

If the competitor is using PHP, and I use Python is that a different product in the view of the "patent"?

Damn lies about the number of 9s. I face similar issues with Google Cloud on a daily basis with the APIs and their standard response is to go and buy and buy the next support level before they can look at the problem.

The map is not the territory, and what gets reported is not all of what's going on. The tiny number (dozens, at least) of people who believe in goofy shit are safe to laugh at. Drawing any attention at all to "important" military-industrial complex evildoing, even if only to laugh at the people who are worried about it, is a quick way to lose all access to information and "anonymous" leaks.
Don't get me wrong, Microsoft did change course. It was a tanking bloated juggernaut, and the change from pre-Nadella days has been drastic. But what I am saying is that the change had started at least 3 or 4 years before Nadella became CEO.

The article is all about how the guy changed everything so quickly while in fact this was already happening.

What's possible though is that the big guys at Microsoft planned to give the job to Nadella a while ago, and that Nadella, under Ballmer, did actually take all the decisions that took Microsoft in the right direction.
Doctors can get 10 year loan forgiveness or even employer repayment. Then after age 40 (salary parity with a BS) the earnings compound. The doctor will be at 150k+ which is likely more than the BS holder alone. Plus the doctor doesn't have to worry about layoffs and is always employable.
"Whether Christ was actually divine, or even existed, has nothing to do with the evolution of the church and its doctrines a hundred or more years later."

I see that modern gnostics are just as stupid and ignorant as the original ones. On your side are a few fragments written far too late to be eyewitness testimony, let alone containing anything of worth. On mine are thousands of copies that appear fully formed, the earliest ones with negligible distance from the events they describe, with boatloads of references to history and geography that we can check out. These accounts move through history unchanged. Within a generation or two church authors are vigorously defending their authenticity and core teachings against sceptics and gnostics.

Yeah right. Here's this marginal peasant from a scummy town in an unknown corner of the Roman empire with an extremely questionable birth narrative. He says and does outrageous things that are hard to understand, mixes with the lowest of society and is eventually executed in the most shameful way possible for blasphemy. And this rural redneck claims to be God in human form? That's real convincing I must say.

>(What I don't really understand is why US conspiracyism limits itself only to things that don't exist - you don't hear so much about Watergate, Iran-Contra, COINTELPRO and so on.)

There's an easy answer: you can't wildly speculate when you have the facts. This is why "PizzaGate" is still being talked about. There will never be proof, because it's a ridiculous conspiracy. That leaves the conspiracy enthusiasts free to hunt for evidence and clues forever.

It's almost tautological: once we know something happened, it's no longer a conspiracy. Therefore, conspiracy enthusiasts will no longer care about it.

I would say it's nice enough for more than just "small" stuff. Depending on your definition of "small", I guess.

I'm running a VyOS machine (old desktop with a couple of NICs) which handles the traffic for our Copenhagen office. That's ~15 CI boxes, and 30 people. This is on a 100/100 connection.

For Ubiquiti, I'm a fan. I helped our co-working space setup a network on another floor, and we used an EdgeRouter Lite to handle the 200/200 connection. The ERL handles it without breaking a sweat. That's for 60 people on a daily basis.

For another building, I just finished setting up an ERPro (the 8-port rack-mounted version). It's again on a 200/200 connection, and for roughly 150 people on average, with a maximum around 300-500.

At home, I have an ERPoE, which handles my home lab just perfectly. I'm only on a 100/100 uplink at the moment, but will be upgraded to 1000/500 soon, and I know the ERPoE will handle that just fine as well (thank you hardware offloading ;)). 5 VLANs with full firewalling and routing between them, native IPv6 with prefix delegation, mDNS proxying between VLANs, OpenVPN handled by the router. I could do a lot of this with OpenWRT on an Archer C7, but the ERPoE is simply miles ahead.

The UI is nice for newcomers, and the CLI is amazing. I fell in love with the CLI on VyOS, and am very happy to see the same in the UBNT products. For $100, they are amazing devices. VyOS is my go-to choice when I need to have a virtual router.

This is a remarkably dismissive comment. Empathy is not just a new buzz word, it matters a great deal. Some of the best advice i have ever received as a developer was to "think like the client". That is a difficult thing to do, and i do not view it as a reason i am better, i view it as something i am constantly subpar at.

But thinking like your customer is, by definition, empathetic. Intimately understanding a customers needs and reactions to your software will not help you to write academically superior code, but it will help you create better products.

From a brief search, most presidential candidates speak at around an 8th grade level. (Which makes sense. They need to appeal to a broad audience, and speaking at a higher level is usually counterproductive anyway unless you have a specialized audience.) Trump's speaking level is more like 3rd or 4th grade.
This wouldn't make sense because NIFs are supposed to be just straight function calls that provide immediate returns. It's a blocking interface.

If you want the behavior you're talking about you would communicate via ports, or you'd write a NIF that maintained its own off scheduler thread(s), returned immediately, but kept a reference to the calling pid, and then sent a message to that pid at some later date. Several IO related NIFs do that today.

That's actually an excellent use for Rust in this case because it can help you make that multi-threaded implementation safer and more reliable.

This is a really interesting topic. I think almost every developer dreams about his own business or product.

It's hard to project any path which leads to own successful business. So far what I have seen is that only thing that counts here are balls, if you know what I mean :)
One of the ways which is reasonable for me, is to first try to switch to freelancing and there you can test and see are you actually able to take care about lot of things that are usually done by the company, and btw those things are not coding. With your experience and knowledge you should be able to find really good freelancing jobs or you can even try to join some platform for freelancers...
Being a freelancer is almost the same as starting your own business. Later if you see that you can earn lot more money or to hire some geeks, just open a company and take a next step.

It would only lead to inflation if those increased wages were paid via increasing the money supply.
Oh dear. This is bad news. Munich has been a bit of a 'poster boy' for the OSS crowd.
Sarcasm.
I presume from your tone that you are childless. "Cozy" gets really old, really quick when you have kids. And when they get larger, you really don't want them living right on top of you.

As someone living outside of California, I value 40 hour work weeks and my kids sleeping in a different room. Thriving culture is nice, but a decent public school district is better.

SV companies may not be losing employees now (other than to rampant poaching and job-hopping), but they certainly aren't attracting certain classes of employees for their on-site work. They can bring in the young singles who may be willing to work 80 hours a week and sleep in a broom closet for $1000/month. They can get the geniuses that can command the high salary that it takes to secure the sort of housing situation that the entire remainder of the continent takes for granted. They can't get the parents from middle America that think many SV tech employers are literally insane.

Everyone in the US, aside from those specific places I already mentioned, can currently afford to buy a 2 bedr/1 bath house or condo on an income that is considered just mediocre in their area. Those are not "big houses". Our version of living in a broom closet under the stairs is a 1 bedr/1 bath apartment or manufactured home at $500/month or less. (Our version of living in a van down by the river is still living in a van down by the river.) Even a five-bedroom house is not "big" if you have four kids in it, or plan to put that many in it.

If companies followed my advice, they would reduce their recruitment, labor, and facilities costs during their expansions. They wouldn't lose anyone unless they also decided to shut down offices in California.

I don't think I'm forgetting it so much as pointing it out in a roundabout way. I agree with what you say, and these seemingly weird contradictions in political talk are clearly coming from this.
Atomic changefeeds were a big addition, but resumable changefeeds are still a big gap. Something like what Kafka has. You can emulate this somewhat with atomic changefeeds and updating documents to mark them as "processed".
"Not only does SAK say that the system may reduce the labor force -- for instance by tempting mothers of small children or those close to retirement to take more time off"

As long as the unemployment rate is > 0, that sounds like a net benefit for UBI. Someone else who isn't at the same life stage can then fill the freed position. You would only think this is a bad thing if you see workforce participation as the end-goal in itself, while all signs point towards massive societal upheaval due to automation without something like UBI.
I have worked at amazon, and I can validate this. When I was on an AWS team, posting a "non-green" status to the status page was actually a Manager decision. That means that it is in no way real time, and its possible the status might say "everything is ok" when its really not because a manager doesnt think its a big enough deal.
Also there is a status called green-i which is the green icon with a little 'i' information bubble. Almost everytime something was seriously wrong, our status was green-i, because the "level" of warning is ultimately a manager decision. So they avoid yellow and red as much as possible. So the status's aren't very accurate.
That being said, if you do see a yellow or red status on AWS, you know things are REALLY bad.

> If prices go up then demand drops

That is not a true statement in Economics. Price is a result of the supply & demand functions, the scenario you're thinking of is a reduction in supply with unchanged demand leading to an increase in price.

We really don't know if that increase in price will be large or not without more data.

In rural school districts, teachers probably are getting a relatively better deal than other residents (compared to 1975), simply because of the hollowing out of the rural economy in the last 40 years.

Still, in the article, when he's discussing healthcare and education, labor force engagement was going off in my head like big flashing lights. I doubt cost disease has a single root cause, but I suspect this is part of it.

I also suspect that defined-benefit pensions play a big role, especially when coupled with increased life expectancy. Corps and unions mutually agreed to kick the can way far down the road in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I also suspect that regulatory capture and wealth disparity play big roles, too.
How does globalization increase the % of our GDP that goes to healthcare and education?

It is market manipulation. Placing a big order would signal to other traders that there is someone who wants to buy/sell a lot of the stock and therefore the stock's price would change accordingly. But then the trades are never actually executed, therefore he intentionally manipulated the price of the stock.
Huh? Increasing wages doesn't cause inflation.
No, it's the right amount of emotional. When people distort the truth, it makes me angry. This is misinformation well beyond the protection of Hanlon's razor. And I resent that you are unable to attack my facts, so you have decided to try to go after my tone instead. If you are in possession of better facts, you should trot them out. But if you're somehow harmed by my honesty or passion then that's your problem.
iPhones aren't simply faster at JS, they're faster at everything. Benchmarks run in the same app always come out drastically in the iPhone's favour.

Granted, this isn't a strict apples-to-apples comparison, but the differences are so drastic and always in Apple's favour. That, combined with the actual, physical differences in speed of the processors on the phone itself, indicates that it's not just Safari.
> In 2005, a year after it announced that it will minimise left turns, the company said that the total distance covered by its 96,000 trucks was reduced by 747,000km, and 190,000 litres of fuel had been saved.

Er... I understand that you may reduce your fuel consumption by not waiting at red lights, but that the total distance driven has been reduced is clearly wrong!

Guys, you have a bug in your spreadsheet!
I feel that internet discussions have turned for the worse over the last decade or so. There has always been plenty of trolls and weird conspiracy theories, but there used to be a sense that the truth wins out in the end. It was difficult to keep defending an obvious falsehood when faced with rational arguments. Some tried anyway, but they failed to convince others. Online discussions were never perfect of course, even reasonable people will often disagree about what is true.

Now, it seems like people do not care if what they write is true or not, as long as it gets repeated and upvoted enough. There is no self-correction either. When something like pizzagate turns out to be complete nonsense, they people who spread it are not discouraged from doing the same thing again. In their eyes it was a very successful social media campaign.
I know it's late but I suppose for open source traditional BI tools one might answer something like Pentaho, JasperReports, Actuate/BIRT. Note those are all Java for reasons of being cross platform, so again not native to Windows.

There are a slew of other open source BI related tools people run on Windows, such as Talend for ETL or things like R or Octave for data science.

Windows desktop proprietary BI tools - Tableau is super popular as one example of a handful.

I am on an H1-B work authorization.

The company applied for my position with a salary of ~$100K/yr (on the LCA and the H1 application) but they actually paid me ~$240K/yr. This year and the next, it will be well north of $300-$330K/yr.

Why would they do this? Simple - to be able to pay me a prevailing wage and keep me in status in case the shit hits the fan.

If they applied to the government saying they'd pay me $240K/yr, and for some reason they had to give me a pay cut, I'd be out of status or we would have to make a less-confident amendment to my H1 auth. A pay cut amendment should be viewed with skepticism in my opinion and I would avoid it.

It's like underpromising and overdelivering.

My actual salary will never be reported in an H1 database. But it will be on my tax returns.

This isn't a common case but just something to keep in mind.
