Therein lies my gripe with Glassdoor.

Once we started hearing Glassdoor mentioned by candidates during interviews, we created a Company Page then shared it with current employees. Yes, we got a few positive reviews, then immediately staff started receiving daily recruiting emails along the lines of, "You could make $10,000 more at the same job in your city. Apply here."

As the employer on the account, we of course were not getting these emails. It's not that I have an issue with employees getting solicitations - it's the natural process - it's just a bit deceptive to employers who think creating a company page is all positive, then immediately their staff gets recruited harder.
The 2011-2013 video repair extension was for AMD GPUs. They only did it after a class action lawsuit dragged them kicking and screaming. And they replaced logic boards with the same flaw so just outside the 2 year extension program, you could expect the same failure. I did. My friends did. My customers did. This kind of hassle isn't worth the price premium.

I used to think there should be a law requiring a three year warranty standard. It probably would alter the calculus. But at this point I'm so burned by Apple I don't care.
Scoop is about the only thing that works on my stupidly locked work laptop. Unfortunately, McAfee AV just started deleting scoop scripts randomly. God I hate windows.

Why not something like a ThinkPad?
Yes, I am aware of Wallabag and it does some interesting things. It is just that I am allergic to PHP and would like to have a testbed for some other ideas I have:

- inter-instance link sharing, perhaps via activity pub.

- Some ACL later on top of IPFS to ensure you share links and content with people you trust only (also to avoid eventual copyright litigation)

- a sanitized way to read links from content farms that gets shared on social networks (this was one of the initial motivations for me to start this, and this is why I called it nofollow)

- a perhaps more robust way to have an internet archive.

It is unlikely I will get to do it all, but it is more likely I will get to do some of this in Python (or Go) than to ever pick PHP
Shouldn’t We Have Seamless Micropayments By Now?

Yet it’s actually not simpler for the user, since their transfer can then be tampered with either by accident or intentionally leaving the user with a broken download and then what do they do? A redownlaod from a different mirror makes no difference.
I personally loved the first years of fb even if I never been a social network person.

Now I think that company ( in terms of fb product) should focus how to be still facebook of the first years with innovations.

Because right now my traction to use facebook is just read news or to follow some companies that I like.
What? Unless I am missing something, all of the current mac laptops have audio ports.
I'm interested in failure rate per iops. If the drive fails infrequently, great, but if it's also the worst performing drive, screw that. Would rather buy drives that perform as well as possible with the least failure rate.
And if thinness and light weightness are such priorities for apple; if you're removing the headphone jack, it seems almost reasonable to go back to external bluetooth speakers... welcome back to the 90s.
I don't know the entry barrier details, but are governments working on standards to put your own payment system based on a defined API and following standard regulations?
My wife and kids are all taking one class at the local community college. Tuition was nearly $400/student, plus a $200 book and a mandatory $200 online program. You can find the book used, and we economized by only buying 2 books for 4 people.
The tech industry's substance abuse issues like drinking or other drugs are a terrible issue.

This comes from a industry wide occupational burnout issue. Major names like Cisco, Twitch, or Nvidia have staff who are >50% burnt out.

The lack of diversity has absolutely nothing to do with anything here.
Gitlab API is amazingly simple and flexible, can be used efficiently from the terminal to list CI jobs, your issues, edit them,.. Gitlab CI is top-notch, things like CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA environment variable for monorepos is a killer feature, now npm registry, .. Gitlab wiki for documentations

At work we are using Atlassian products, they would be so efficiently replaced by just Gitlab
I just can't type like that. I'm a very lazy typist.
What makes you feel that there are no viable competitors? On the hardware, build quality, screen quality, customization, fixit score and ports scales the HP Spectre and Lenovo carbon have been winning critics.

Is it osx only that makes you say this? I've seen hackintoshes in the past, would that be viable?
You can if input is a file. It might be a program with no arguments or something else.
I agree much with your premise here. The capabilities that social media have provided are extremely valuable.

That said, I disagree with your conclusion. The issues that have come from Facebook and others are due to centralization, commodification of user data, the proliferation of echo chambers and advertising. Universal accessibility isn't the culprit, although that has generated issues on it's own as well.
That is not how credit card processing works. Some companies store additional data on a store by store basis, but visa/MasterCard does not transmit that info. They deal with a lot of data, but it's transactional. To make the transaction happen.

So no they can't sell your shopping list, the system simply doesn't work that way. Terminals don't send that info.
Apple has the luxury of product lines which allows them to cater to different markets. They have the MacBook, Pro, and Air.

It would be strange to see U2, U2 Country, U2 Jazz. Apple in this example is probably better compared to a music label than a single rock band.
DHH's comment is another example of what I call one-bit reasoning: everything is either wonderful or terrible.

Facebook's features have had far-reaching effects and it's not that easy to classify them as positive or negative. Getting in touch with people is easier. Thoughtlessly sending things to all your "friends" is probably too easy, but there are also announcements you do want to read.
As a reader, I skip the fake positive reviews and pay attention to the negative reviews. As a reviewer, I make sure my review stays posted, otherwise I will choose to repost.
most great entrepreneurs, know how to select and trust talented people

Logos or not, this is the elusive character that I've been unconsciously seeking at companies. Whenever there is a significant mis-estimation or placement of talent/trust in upper management there are recurring issues that are hard to pinpoint. It is not enough to place an amount of trust commensurate with talent, both must be high for effectiveness.
Yes! I love pv. Besides that and tee, can anyone else suggest some more general pipe tools?
Just wanted to say before I picked up my Windows desktop I tried out CrossOver to play a few games on my MBP. Worked brilliantly.

You can get a used 2015 machine (last before the Touch Bar gen) for around $1000-1200.

I have a TB Mac, but the late 2013 machine I have still works great. (It does have the screen coating issues that plagued that generation have, and I missed the window to get it fixed ... I may try throwing a tantrum at a local Apple store however and see it that works)
Now you're going out of context. We very well may be on the wrong track for making an AGI, but the OP's premise was that once a mouse-level AGI is achieved, human-level AGI won't be far behind.

I'm more comfortable predicting that computing power will continue to grow than to predict that it will peter out and everyone will simply sit back and be happy with what we've got.

I love Pharo, so don't take this as me trying to take anything away. Cincom "actively develops" VW as well. I keep in touch with that side just for my own information. Pharo is doing a phenomenal job.
I can't help but think of Kurt Vonnegut's book "Player Piano" when reading articles of this nature.

>The "bonus" you get is actually paid by higher prices on the stuff people buy. Card fees are transferred to merchants, and merchants transfer it to customers via higher prices.

Doesn't that mean people who don't engage in this 'hustle' are essentially losing money?
As far as I know there isn't one. I still use YNAB4 because I don't want to "upgrade". I've been thinking about building my own budgeting system because the only real alternative seems to be excel sheets.

That's pretty much what I also tried to do with AutoSpotting but very few people bothered to pay for it.

I suspect the problem is that the people who're using the software are techies who would rather enjoy spending some time compiling it and setting it up themselves, maybe learning some things in the process, instead of paying for it.

This kind of software would have to be sold to CEO/CTO folks who then ask the developers to set it up afterwards.
It's payment network agreements, not regulations in the government sense. E.G. If you accept Visa, you cannot mark up credit transactions & discount for cash per your agreement with them. It's nuanced (gas stations do it compliantly by advertising both prices next to each other).

Beggars can't be choosers. There are way more people that want to write ethical freedom respecting code than there are people willing to pay for it. If I had an option to write Rust for a megacorp to fuck over customers or write C for the betterment of humanity you can be sure I'd go with the later.
By those metrics the UK isn't a full member either, since we have derivations - and Denmark is in Schengen!
Of course not. On the other hand, the costs are near-zero.
Facebook is harmful because it's reckless with your personal data, but Google is invaluable because of its utility and amazing results? It's able to provide those results because it steals your data, which it also abuses and sells. And as an alternative to YouTube, there are free public libraries with similar DIY books complete with pictures and drawings, but without stealing and selling your data.
That almost seems a shame. It's a thing of beauty to hear those with a classical education speak. The ability to be able to put together clear, cogent, complicated paragraphs of thought on the fly is awesome to hear.

That's tangential at best to a discussion of credit cards as a payment processor.
It can. You can plug a Tesla into any 110 outlet. (It's just 4x slower than a 30A/220).
nooo ... you don't say ... unthinkable!

this has been well known for so long. but yeah, it deserves to be exposed. unfortunately, it's behind a paywall and outline.com isn't working (did wsj C&D them?), but my guess is they are not comparing the business to yelp.

so this is completely expected and actually the desired behavior.

Suggesting that "every product, restaurant, and company [having] the exact same label set in the same type with the same colours" is a "Marxist dream" is totally not how that works, though.
libcurl has many TLS backends. APT before 1.6 actually uses the GnuTLS one.

APT ≥ 1.6 doesn't use libcurl; it uses GnuTLS directly.
Money is just a tool to represent value. Value is not a zero-sum game. If a person creates something of value, she is creating something that did not exist before.
Sadly not in situations where you need overview for more then one project. Viewing of mergerequest for all projects you have access to was disabled cause of performance problems.
Yeah, that was my interpretation. It sounds like the "low fees" is the consumer benefit. I'd rather everyone have lower rates than a select few being able to "game the system".
Facebook brought us React and GraphQL (dont't know if ReasonML is an important enough technology to count). I despise Facebook as a social network; but as a technological company, it's clearly not the worst that happened to _the Internet_.
Ways to earn money with cryptogames
Fine, use your own. But PuTTY is free and easy to install, and it is enough to open the SSH connection that can then be used to launch any terminal emulator you want.
My experience, over decades, but now coming up on half that ago, was that IBM/Hitachi/HGST are definitely worth it. I used to run a small hosting business, which had hundreds of discs, and consulting business which had clients with hundreds more discs.

Seagates, in general, could always be expected to fail in a 3 year span. Often multiple times. IBM/Hitachi/HGST, especially the UltraStar enterprise line, would basically never fail. Over 20 years and hundreds of discs concurrently running (switching out as opportunity arose), we probably RMAed single digits of HGST drives.

In comparison, while I had a few pockets of Seagate drives that didn't fail (I had 6 in a storage server at home that never gave me problems), we could generally expect 5% of Seagate drives that we had running to fail in a given year. Enterprise or regular didn't really seem to matter.

For us, replacing a drive was fairly expensive, using a limited resource (our time). So we gravitated to HGST almost exclusively.

But: We also did an extensive burn-in process before a drive went into production. Basically: "badblocks -svw" for a week. He noticed that we had some drives that would fall out of RAID arrays, but if we ran badblocks on would never report an error. My theory was that there were some marginal sectors that would bit-rot. Running a week of badblocks would exercise those and allow badblock remapping to remove them from use.

Remember the IBM "Deathstar" 75GXP? We even had good luck with those. I had one of them start freaking out, and I was aware of the "Deathstar" name, so I went to replace it with another drive I had on hand. When I pulled it out to replace it I realized it was HOT. Not in the grand scheme of things, but definitely hot to the touch. I looked up the temp specs and it was clearly above that. The box it was in had 2 5-inch bays that didn't have the covers on them. I covered those bays, turned the machine back on after re-installing the Deathstar, and the drive continued operating for another 3-5 years with no problem. Made me wonder if improper cooling was the source of those reports.
Apple tend to be pretty good at that anyway. They gave me the top-spec mid-2015 MacBook Pro I'm writing this comment on for free when the graphics chip in my 2011 MacBook died a couple of times, before there was even an official replacement program.

The consumer law only guarantees for two years (although I think there is some provision for extra "expected life" of a product, can't remember exactly), and I didn't have Apple Care, so they didn't have to do that.

We may be just using different definitions for what it means to prepare / know the solution. Most of the “thinking through the problem” in my experience is mapping the problem to a known class of problems which you have tools for. This is what software engineering is often, making entirely new and untested patterns is rare in my experience (and if it isn’t that could be indicative of an opportunity for improvement). And someone who has studied more will have more examples to map it to, and will likely do so faster. Disregarding a candidate because they have more examples and recognized them faster than someone who had to work through it from first principles is disregarding a candidate who will often provide you an industry standard solution for one who may be unaware someone has solved this problem already. It also seems to be an unrealistic goal, since most engineers I know who do work through things from first principles don’t do so with observers on a whiteboard in 45 minutes.
Nicely summarized. I see this pattern playing out so frequently that I'm at the point where I'm starting to think no one bothers creating content or communities without an eventual commercial angle that ruins the intent of the first iteration.

In terms of your notable exception, I'd say Indiehackers (now owned by Stripe) is still quite good. But perhaps that's because Stripe appears to be pretty hands-off at this point, and of course that could change.
Merchants can offer cash discounts, but cannot add credit card fees. This is due to price transparency rules.

Or that to run a secured, highly available platform with the type of features k8s provides is non-trivial beyond basics.
It has problems, certainly, but not all the same. A bunch that don't apply:

* Twitter has always been easier to avoid (more people/groups/places expect you to have a Facebook account if you want to know about stuff)

* real-name policy

* Anything related to payment, due to not selling anything to end users, e.g. the recent story about charges caused by kids https://www.revealnews.org/blog/a-judge-unsealed-a-trove-of-...

On the other hand, Twitter is more public, which brings issues not so much on Facebook.
Would the world be a better place if Linux, the BSD kernel behind OS X, and the Windows kernel were all rewritten in Rust? (I don't think it would be dramatically better overnight.)
Actually, the comparison to Librarians is more apt.

If you want to find a book declaring that vaccines cause autism, you can find that book.

Google tries really hard to have the Card Catalog system be as good as possible, but "solving" that problem is basically impossible.
My approach to Glasdoor reviews is similar to my approach to Amazon reviews... ignore the positive reviews, and focus on the negative ones. Now, "absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence", but a large number of negative reviews is a strong "stay away" signal. A small number of negative reviews is, more or less regardless of the positive reviews, a "neutral" indicator to me.
I like 'collection pipeline' code written in this style regardless of language. If we took away the pipe symbols (or the dots) and just used indentation we'd have something that looked like asm but with flow between steps rather than common global state.

I periodically think it would be a good idea to organize a language around.
The thing that often gets misunderstood is that there's no magic technology that gives a massive competitive advantage here. If you pick Django/Python, PHP/Laravel, Rails, Node, Go, Java, whatever... you end up the same place. Keep it simple, since it will change if your business experiences growth anyways. Pick what you know, or what you want to hire for.

How do you create value for your customers and offer them something that is worth them paying for? Your customer doesn't know/care about the tech behind it. The technology side is a piece of the business puzzle with the goal of shipping your product/service and gaining traction ASAP.

If you don't get traction, the technology side doesn't really matter because the business case isn't there. Ship to market, get feedback, iterate, get more customers and repeat.
SF is a sign of a bigger problem, not the cause. The world is becoming a winner-take-all economy. The best and brightest get bestier and brightier because they get to work on the latest and greatest and know the latest and greatest. If you "miss the train", you have to grovel with the masses for the scraps.

The Internet has made it both easier to find who and what you are looking for, and to filter out the rest. Inefficiency of info sharing used to act as a kind of socialism, giving average people & shops sales and opportunities. Now it's winner take all, the rest be damned.

Same with countries also; it's why the 3rd world is finding it hard to keep up with the big powers.

Let's face it, some of Karl Marx's predictions about "owners" growing ever larger like a snowball rolling downhill are coming true. (Whether his "solutions" work are another matter.)
> I believe it was less than 400ppm at the start

Then this must have been before 2016. Atmospheric CO2 concentration has always been higher than 400 ppm since that year.
I feel that youtube is on the edge here; still lots of good information, but under heavy pressure.
I stand corrected, thx.
This is not even news... I know of one tech outsourcing company, and another utility provider who requires all new hires to complete a (predictably positive) Glassdoor review as part of on boarding.
I sympathize much with your stance on Facebook. However, I'm curious, what keeps Google from being an adversary in your perspective?
Oh yes, we were asked to write positive reviews on Glassdoor.

Guess heat I did? :)
Not in that sentence. It's the misconception that the sentence addresses.
Pipes have been a game-changer for me in R with the tidyverse suite of packages. Base R doesn't have pipes, requiring a bit more saving of objects or a compromise on code readability.

One criticism would be that ggplot2 uses the "+" to add more graph features, whereas the rest of tidyverse uses "%>%" as its pipe, when ideally ggplot2 would also use it. One of my most common errors with ggplot2 is not utilizing the + or the %>% in the right places.
Neat. I wanted to play around with old OS interfaces a bit this year and this might just be what I need for the NT/ReactOS part.
Thanks, that's great news. My last visit was in May 2017. And for 10 years between 2007-2017 I pretty much carried only cash in Berlin.

The cardless life was very strange in the beginning, but I learnt to love the absolute sense of freedom and privacy the lack of any digital records of my day-to-day life provided me.

I even stopped carrying my smartphone when I didn't need it. It was like back to 1990s.
