yeah the only way i ever received a raise was changing jobs. i guess it was because I knew what the answer would be if I asked for a raise: "do not have the budget." or "you have not met x expectations". whether that would be true or not, its usually a sign to move on.
Excellent. Therefore we should ban all political advertising - because such a ban will have no effect.
Maybe, but consider how terrible the conversation is on most Internet forums. Since it's hard to prove a counterfactual, we don't know for sure whether the point system is making things better or worse.

Looking at upvoted versus downvoted comments, my impression is that it makes things better overall with some subtle downsides, but it is hard to show this.
Am I missing something? Isn't this exactly how deployment servers actually work?

I'm not into Java development, but this sounds fine on the face of it, without you giving the context of how this pipeline is triggered.

Thanks, I bought the book.

Still undecided as to which language to work in, I wanted to use rust but the one part I'm unsure about is possibly where tree like data structures will need to be implemented?

I guess that's tough to do in rust? I will give it a try.
I love OS X, but it's just 'slow'. I have no problem admitting that.

It's much better than it was in the PowerPC days, when (IMO) OS X was almost too slow to be usable. We have it good these days with faster graphics and 12-core CPU's and super fast SSD's...

But you give these same advantages to Windows/Linux and OS X is just handily beaten in just about every benchmark you can think of.
I just ask every three months how I can have a bigger impact on the company. I then say "Let's talk compensation." And just make the case. Normalize the conversation.
Possible but I am not exactly sure what caused the difference. I used fast.com for testing and when I increased the number of parallel connections the performance degradation was lower when using Wireguard. I assumed that it is related to congestion control as Wireguard uses UDP AFAIK and otherwise I would use TCP on the bottleneck part of the connection.

After working full time as a software engineer at Oracle (Solaris group) for nearly seven years, I'm looking for my next opportunity.
Not in the same job role they don't. Not a meaningful amount at least, most times it's barely enough to cover inflation. If you want a meaningful raise you have two choices, play the company's ridiculous Game of Thrones every quarter come promotion time, or go elsewhere. Most of the time it's easier to just go elsewhere.
Lol. Work from home from the office.
Totally off topic, but Photopea is awesome.
Thanks for making it - in my experience, nothing else compares when trying to convert a PSD to web styles.

Not affiliated, don't even have a pro account, but one of the neat things of HN is that you never know who you are chatting with.
I wish I had done that. I would wait until the job sucked before looking for another. I foolishly thought loyalty in IT is rewarded. In some companies maybe, I just never found one. New guy would get the cool new projects. I would vote you up twice if I could.

As an addendum, I recommend you interview anyway. In this strong economy there is no risk. In a weak economy they might toss you since they know you are looking..
How long ago was that? What were your salary increases (%) in future years at that company?

I'm asking because it doesn't seem reasonable to say "don't expect another raise" and expect people to be happy.
I have firstinitiallastname@gmail.com (I don't have a particularly common name) and I get a surprising amount of email not meant for me. People signing up for Facebook, Instagram, online orders, you name it.

> Nazi Germany was not the greatest loss of life by a government.

But it is the government that's become nearly synonymous with human rights violations (in the West, at least).
With respect, that doesn't really affect the point I was making.

While I agree with you, the people/companies who supply those chickens to the local supplier still have no use for the male chicks.

So even if you're buying eggs laid by hens that have a great life, you're still causing animals to be killed.

Like I said, I have no right to be preachy. I just want more people to think clearly about this stuff.

I hope the "no-kill" method becomes widespread.
Plenty of smokers smoked and lived long healthy lives. It's the same point you're making.

There is a massive amount of evidence the the healthy fats are animals fats, coconut oil, avocado oils etc and not the "vegetables" oils which aren't really vegetables.

I think that approach might be politically easier to accept if the plan had been to drop the masculine version for half the nouns, and the feminine one for the other half.

But it's also hard to imagine the members of an old men's club voluntarily deciding that they should henceforth be known as autrices instead of auters. Doubly so 200 years ago.
>linux is by far the most stable and easiest to manage OS, after you get past the initial learning curve. The main reason is you can actually fix problems. You pretty much know why every single bit of software is there for and how to configure it.

So much this. I used windows for a lot longer than i've used linux. Maybe 10 years using linux exclusively now and 15 years or so with windows before that.

Even now when I fix problems on windows I feel like a wizard tinkering with vaguely mysterious arcane things i'm only mostly sure of the purpose behind.

When I fix things on linux I feel like a mechanic working with a detailed manual and diagram of my system isolating known things and fixing that one a few things I know for sure could be the problem.

For me though, it was when windows corrupted the master boot record on my hard drive. I ended up running linux partitioned across 4 16GB USB sticks I had lying around my house until I bought a new hard drive(I tried for a while to fix my hard drive, nothing I did worked. I'm not actually too sure what was wrong with it in the end.). The fact that not only could I do that, but it was easy and I could see and access everything on my hard drive still. It also ran faster than my windows install had. It was a revelation.

Ever since then i've kind of pictured windows as a massive parasite feeding off your computer, controlling it from within, while you're kinda there from the outside.
I suppose it could, but do you want to? I thought the issue here was that people donate money to be spent on housing, not to be loaned on housing and then paid back.

Microcredits are great in the long run because lots of small improvements really add up. The problem with big disasters is that you need more than small improvements to fix the problem, and to expect all of that to be paid back saddles poor people (or a poor country) with a lot of debt.

At least, that's what it seems like to me, but I'm no expert on this. They seem like two very different cases that require different solutions.
Yes, I recall that very basic sets topics (e.g. unions and intersections),might have been introduced in 3rd or 4th grade? Definitely was in there somewhere before middle school.
Europe is actually reducing energy use though, it's amazing looking at the difference between the US and Europe on that chart, given Europe is a similar sized economy, with a larger population. If the US increase is half down to a.c. and heating, perhaps it reflects that US is just far more exposed to the impacts of climate change.

As you say, we need to push zero carbon technologies in, and break the link between increased energy use (which looks inevitable) and increased carbon use.

The worry is that even if we do manage to get up to a large percentage of the electricity grid using nuclear or renewables, and electrifying transport and heating, which together would be a monumental task, it will just leave us with a glut of gas, coal and oil on the market. Reduced demand will just lead to lowered prices because of massive sunk investments in exploration and production (for instance: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2019/02/09/the-truth-about...).

In other words, to make this transition without government intervention, renewables and/or nuclear don't just need to go below the total cost of production for fossil fuels, they need to fall below even the marginal cost of production. It is a massive gamble on the ability for technology and economies of scale to reduce the costs of alternative technologies to that extent. In fact even if that happens, with someone like Trump in charge, there's a serious chance the government will try and bail out the companies that have made these bad investments, and still burn the fossil fuels even if they are uneconomic.
Yes of course. I do not want others political views forced upon me. Just as I wouldn't want others religion force upon me. I would be as opposed to this change if it was 'god'/'disciples' or something similar.

I also think there would be more people like me if that were the case. But just because it's a popular opinion everyone lashes on my 'irrational' behavior. I don't think it's that irrational though.
In much of the US that's against the law (and that's not even including people who live in apartments without yards).
They are mainly (all?) dead because of rate limiting.

Those "cloudflare loading" screens that come up when visiting some low-traffic sites. It's probably more common for people using privacy blockers and browser containers to block tracking. I see it at least a few times per day and I get captchas on almost any site that uses them (regardless of being behind cloudflare).
Thanks for bringing this up; I was a bit disheartened that an article basically talking about Goodhart's Law doesn't mention it.

EDIT to add: To be fair, the author's book (on which the article is based) mentions the term twice (and twice in the references). Still feels like this is inadequate, though.

I don't understand the point of making a comment if one has no interest in reading replies.
Downloading the latest binary dependencies is (IMO) not a good idea. You should download a known working version with a fixed hash. This will avoid unexpected version mismatches in production. When you want to upgrade, make it explicit.

As for a better alternative, I would suggest Bazel or Buck.
> 1. We don't write user-identifiable log data to disk;

Is it just me or are these terms super-specific? They can easily be circumvented to achieve real logging, especially at Cloudflare's scale. While I trust Cloudflare as a company, I feel like they're being a bit disingenuous here.
And I thought that is always the case nowadays...
Just want to point out 60 is really not all that big, 500 is getting big, 1000 is huge.

If your feeling that at 60, imagine what that must feel like..
Since I switched to vegetarian diet, my own observations suggest, my mental abilities, have actially improved.
Fair point. I especially appreciate that even Workers is based on a W3C standard, when it could have been a proprietary API.

However, Cloudflare has also adopted and promoted at least one standard that adds complexity for dubious benefit, specifically DNSSEC, which tptacek has repeatedly criticized (e.g. [1]).

Moreover, Cloudflare is encouraging both providers and consumers to bypass the public Internet as much as possible in favor of Cloudflare's network and proprietary protocol(s). For providers, this is done through Argo and especially Argo Tunnel. And now for consumers, Warp is replacing the standard TCP with a proprietary protocol built on UDP.

Now that Cloudflare has proprietary replacements for the standard Internet on both sides, it can start taking advantage of network effects to make its proprietary network attractive to still more providers and consumers. As Cloudflare's power grows, it becomes harder to escape any future abuses of that power, as well as honest mistakes on Cloudflare's part.

I realize the standard Internet sucks in some ways, and Cloudflare is doing something about that. But I think the right answer is to improve the standards-based Internet, not offer a proprietary replacement. I suppose that's not compatible with running a VC-backed business, though.

> Pompey seemed to be more interested in the glory and adoration that came with military conquest than the actual power that could come from it.

No. Pompey wanted political power just as much he wanted military power. He was able to wield the second, but never really the first. That was mainly due to his rivalry with Crassus first and Caesar second.

He just wasn't at the right time in the right place. Crassus, despite being an inferior general, was richer than him and had more influence in the Senate. Caesar initially had less political influence than him, but he was superior on the battlefield.
Agreed - As someone who enjoys the taste and the effort being made, Impossible burgers still feel very much like a novelty. There are several restaurants in my area serving Impossible burgers, but they are usually the most expensive burger on the menu. Given that this is going to be a dollar more than a standard whopper, it'll cost the same as a double whopper.

With that, the only real incentive to eat the impossible whopper over the standard whopper would be personal motivation to eat less meat. And I'll hazard a guess that most people eating Burger King aren't immediately concerned with cutting down their meat consumption.
The funny thing is, you really need to be willing to leave. HR and management can sense that. If it is only meant as bluff, it won't work.

I only used the default filters in Inbox (Primary, Promotions, and Social) and those seem to have made their way back over to Gmail for me.

Depending on the type of procedure/practice a quick google search indicates somewhere north of 20% is administration. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/upshot/costs-health-care-...

Every time I visit the doctors in the US there is a trail of paperwork produced. Outside of basic checkups (where you don't dare mention any niggling health issues because your instantly going to get billed consultation fees) there is always a back and forth between the patient, doctors office and insurance over what the doctors office is asking to be paid and what the insurance says it is prepared to pay. This is an enormous time wasting game - the doctors (or their medical group) ask for much more than the procedure cost to perform knowing full well that the insurance company will push back with a lower accepted payment and the patient will sat in the middle having to negotiate between the two.

Removing the pricing game would lower costs substantially (and vastly reduce the time wasted by regular Americans calling their insurance/doctors trying to sort out their individual billing messes).

Having lived in both the USA and the UK there is no question in my mind that the US health care system is a dysfunctional mess. In my experience the only place the US system has an advantage is that the healthcare providers are very (too) willing to send a patient for tests/scans to check for every eventuality and are happy to prescribe whatever medicine is 'best' for an ailment.

In the UK a fit person with a common cold would get sent home and told to not waste the doctors time, in the US you'll get a consultation and a dose of Z-Pack (and hey if I'm paying for my insurance I should use it when I get sick, shouldn't I).
