Fellow countrymen might jump in to set me straight, as I have been away for too long, so I lack proper information.

Lisbon is a great city, but expect to live in the suburbs due to the high cost of renting and enjoy about one hour commute time and salaries are still below what we used to enjoy during the first .com wave (1995 - 2002).

Yes, tech is comparable, but not everyone can live in Lisbon.

There are smaller tech hubs across Porto, Aveiro, Braga and Coimbra due to their universities, but pay is even less than in Lisbon, although you get to enjoy better quality life and might afford to live on the city center.

But expect to do lots of overtime without any kind of reward beyond a "thank you", while in Germany those kind of situations are regulated, and in when it happens you have the support to complain about them. If you want to actually take that route that is another matter.

Naturally there are a few unicorns that are great places to work and do reward the extra mile, but they are the exception, not the rule.

As the world fractally unfolds, this idea — that there are obvious things that have already been done and nonobvious things that only very smart people can figure out – is going to stop making sense on the face of it.

We are all very smart. But the universe is also very vast. We do not have all — not nearly all — of even the basic, bronze-age technologies that an alternate human civilization could have developed.

Of course there are simple tricks left involving photosensitive semiconductors and modern optical engineering, is my point.
Yeah, I started looking because I wanted to 'translate' it to a modern environment for my son. Just haven't had the time to sit down and do it yet.
German cities themselves are definitely much nicer than American cities. In fact, "much nicer" is an understatement, American cities usually feel like they were designed by people who hate cities and want everyone in them to suffer.

That said, US lifestyle/culture has its own set of advantages compared to Germany. German culture is surprisingly backwards for consumer software/internet stuff, for example.

I feel it is very informative as the recipient.

Yes, everything you need to know ought to be in the mail itself but often you need context or surrounding details or just some information as to why the question arose.

You can in the very most cases figure that out by skimming a couple of previous mails in the thread. Very quick and saves another round trip, which can be very annoying if you are on different time-zones.
I'm intrigued but confused. Is this meant to be a practical advancement in learning? What does it achieve that's new?

At first glance, it seems like if you know little or nothing about the accuracy of an assertion, you can't assess its truth without acquiring more info about it from 'outside' your closed world. No formal method can change this.

So is this method a better way to manage your lack of knowledge? Perhaps to better choose what question(s) to ask to resolve your uncertainty?

How is your tool going to solve that? Looks like adding one more place to me. Most companies can't/won't move completely to Gmelius (or some other all-in-one tool).

Funfact: more than 30% value in a car is software, which is highly interconnected via various type of networks namely, LIN, CAN, MOST, FlexRay, Ethernet. Most current premium cars have more than 10 of those networks and around 100 to 130 ECUs that talk to each other.

So much about: they don't know about software.

BTW: The difference between IT and automotive aka embedded is that embedded should work even without DevOps. Well, IT we know.
The only assumptions I'm making is what you explicitly stated. And the cardinal rule is, what's stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Either way, if you don't want to defend yourself. That's fine.
> At one point vimeo was making a serious run for global marketshare

Vimeo hasn't been going for global marketshare of video watching in well over a decade - it ceded that competition to YouTube very early on by policing content more actively (Viacom sued YouTube in 2007 for $1B because of its lax enforcement of rules).

Vimeo chose a different direction, launching a paid account in 2008: https://vimeo.com/1977937

The seemingly eternal problem in the NYC metro area is the timing of the highway revolt.

There's a bunch of giant pieces of infrastructure that were built to serve those intended highways.

That's not to say I wish the highways were built, only that it's made cutting down on cars significantly in Manhattan nearly untenable from a regional transportation perspective, because the outlying "rings" to avoid going through the core are lacking.

I wish it came 10 or 20 years earlier and that said pieces of infrastructure were instaed better "outer rings" (ex: Things like A Long Island Sound road crossing) to be able to avoid going anywhere near the core for many trips.
Tracking software?! I often have remote contracts and have never been suggested to install any presence or keyboard activity trackers. Sounds horrible. You are a professional, not a teenager.

I think that would be such a red flag for me of how everything else is at that client that I would never agree to the contract in the first place.

Since most of my clients allow BYOD I sometimes get asked to ensure I have antivirus etc installed. Which is ok as long as they don't dictate which software. So far that has been fine for all clients.

I have some clients that insist on a locked-down laptop to access some parts of their network, and they happily send me one that I use it for mostly email only. Having tracking software on it would be pointless as it would only show 5 minutes of email checking activity every 2-3 hours.

Unless by tracking you mean webcam and slack status? That seems acceptable to me. And as I mostly encourage(insist) that my teams use webcams when they are remote pairing etc it would be hypocritical of me to say otherwise.
>The alternative is to spend an hour deciphering the blob of goo that is actual mail messages mixed with signatures, attachments

You mention attachments, which implies you've been included in all the previous emails. In which case, your email client should be splitting them (often referred to as "conversation" view).

Otherwise, how does it make any difference if the infinite nesting is at the top or the bottom? Or by "top posting" do you just mean replies without trimming?

> If there's an emergency, they can always call, but I don't like being "always on".

Personally, I choose the opposite: you need to email me to tell me you want to call me (so that I’ll turn on my softphone app), otherwise you’ll just automatically go to voicemail (which will also go to my email.)

I notice that with Gmail’s inbox categories, you only get push-notified when something lands in Primary or Updates; so as long as you’ve trained the system to push the irrelevant/lifecycle stuff into the other categories, your phone won’t ding all that often. (Mine doesn’t, and I get a good amount of raw email.)
I don't disagree and didn't mean to imply that.
> An internet forum (presumably we're referring to a public forum here) is a very different communication medium than email

Not really. Take a look at any email discussion like the Linux kernel mailing list or the git mailing list. Same thing with newsgroups (usenet).
Very few organisms die from a 1-3 degree change in average temperature (some important ones, like coral, do). The majority of biological failures we will be seeing more of over the next 100 years will be due to issues with 1-2 week extremes - either heat waves, insufficient cold extremes, or large storms from excessive evaporation, etc. Then these failures with radiate throughout the food chain when the weakest link disappears.

So this mechanism of failure is not an outlier, but the normal face of climate change effects.
Yea, but what are they using to analyze your results? You literally have no idea how robust (or not) their statistical methods are. It's been my experience that 3rd party solutions are notoriously shoddy in this department. They have no incentive to be robust.
I wrote a data processing utility in rust once and it took me four tries. But the final result was way better than I expected. For all the complaints that the compiler makes, it does expose genuine and obscure problems in your code that other languages would happily neglect. The key is to understand the errors rather than fight it. They are often symptoms of architectural problems in your code that you would otherwise miss. I have much more confidence in the final result while using rust compared to other languages, and the pain of satisfying the compiler is definitely worth it.
Sounds a lot like a software license with an expiration date.

I guess the main difference is that corporations have the leverage to force consumers (or employees) to accept their license terms no matter how lopsided they are, whereas the opposite is never true and so this surreptitious method was required.

I think regrettably, y'all aren't big enough to make it happen, and doubly so with a protectionist president in the US. Being part of the EU I think is a big win for European countries on this front -- always stronger as part of a gang.
I agree with your sentiment, but I don't think this is quite a "counter-example". The fact that someone gives you a lot of responsibility is definitely a sign that they respect you more. But yeah, along with more pay and responsibility comes the expectation that you take the blame when things go wrong. And if they go wrong during your vacation, it's up to you to fix them. This can definitely be true in lower level positions as well, but I agree with the sentiment that this tends to be _more_ true with upper level management.

Ok - I haven't read all the comments here; maybe it's been asked and answered, but I'm going to ask anyhow:

Is there something like this available for Linux? Even if you have to pay for it?

IntelliJ covers most use cases, and I already pay for that, but I have been wanting to move away from it, and I am one of those few who do not like to use the cli much for git, unless there's no other choice (sometimes, that's the case). I honestly don't know why such a tool doesn't seem to exist.

Parts of it do exist (or did - not sure about their active state) - but one tool will have one piece, but lack others; and that holds for every tool I've seen so far. One tool or another will lack that one needed piece - back to the command line for it; sigh.

It is strange, because as a whole, all the pieces seem like they are there - but for some reason, nobody has taken the time to combine them all. Probably for the same reason why I haven't done it myself: It isn't that interesting, I suppose.

The futures market is what farmers use to decide what to plant and when to deliver their harvest. Farmers have granaries to expedite harvest, the futures market allows them to get cash by promising to deliver in the future, allowing them to store the grain on the farm.
This isn't a thing, which makes me think you're arguing in bad faith.

Clients load images asynchronously, and no personal email is sent with a logo and catchphrase header. I've never seen that in my entire life and I've been using email with a lot of people, for a long time.

Formatting is an issue however, and the addition of formatting to email can be useful and add to the conversation.

To take the hn example again, the text portion of your comment is broken on mobile because hn doesn't support proper formatting. This has made your comment harder to read.

> (so, plants that like heat are moving further north)

One of my current private and not yet launched projects is to map the spread of fig trees (more like fig plants) in Bucharest and the surrounding parts. The plant itself is not endemic to these parts of the continent and while it used to be present here and there it wasn't as wide-spread as it seems to be now (the winters were very detrimental to its spread). But in the last couple of years I've starting seeing more and more fig trees/plants in people's gardens, and for the moment I'm just taking photos of them and trying to post them on a searchable and browse-able map.

My question is, why is Siemens using spreadsheets and macros to manage equipment?

This, in my opinion, is a real problem. There's too much patch work trying to generate spreadsheets from other documents through macros and it's most likely a security risk.

I worked for a company that was moving away from using Office products for report management for this very reason. We have databases and it's 2019.

In fact, there's entire services that track assets already built that are infinitely better than spreadsheet generation.
Facebook also tracks and keeps profiles of people that are not users of the service, have not given their consent, and have not willingly intended to provide any information to Facebook.

As a rule of thumb, I take the amount in rupees and multiply with 6 to get the equivalent in Dollars.

As an X role in a company if you make 10k per month in India, then working for the same company as X in US, you will likely make 60k.

This is mostly based on salaries info that i have but it gives me a good yardstick for mental models. This also conveniently fits with exchange rate which fluctuates between 55 to 70 INR = 1 USD.

By this yardstick, throw pillow that would be $30 USD will be around $5 (Rs. 300) in India, subject to local revisions.

I mostly use this when I need to roughly calculate how much money I should take with me while traveling.

The final line is almost comically evil, which makes me think there's an angle to this article that I don't really understand. 'I just really hate the partiarchy'? For the record, I don't really believe there is an intentional or malicious maligning of legitimate Title IX use.

I just think this whole narrative is terribly strange and in the exact framing of evil, wealthy feminist women targeting vulnerable men by weaponizing social justice policies while also claiming to be the victims of disenfranchisement. It's almost exactly the thing that I hear from MGTOW or incel communities to the letter, except it's actually happening. Do we know if there are any law blogs or anything following the actual proceedings? I'd love to see what evidence has been established in court.

One interesting anecdote about plain text not being the default in most popular email clients come from my own PublicEmails.com email-to-blog-post project. People would experiment with it and the allowed list of HTML tags for formatting (https://publicemails.com/blog/display/772/37f6f81d9a) but would get confused when the tags would render verbatim instead of being processed correctly. They didn't realize they were in HTML mode by default in most email clients like Gmail, and that they would have to manually switch back to plain text if they wanted to use HTML tags.

I ended up adding a question to the FAQ to address this issue specifically, though people still get confused from time to time. There is a touch of irony about it - to get HTML tags to work, you have to be in plain text, not HTML mode. Once you're in HTML mode all that's needed for formatting is the client's own formatting controls.
This is true, but it's also true that plain text emails do not prevent phishing.
IANAL, but I'm fairly sure banning "stuff like the GPL" would mean banning every EULA and software license, as that's really all the GPL is.

Eben Moglen (Free Software Foundation) sums up the differences:

> But most proprietary software companies want more power than copyright alone gives them. These companies say their software is “licensed” to consumers, but the license contains obligations that copyright law knows nothing about. Software you're not allowed to understand, for example, often requires you to agree not to decompile it. Copyright law doesn't prohibit decompilation, the prohibition is just a contract term you agree to as a condition of getting the software when you buy the product under shrink wrap in a store, or accept a “clickwrap license” on line. [..]

> The GPL, on the other hand, subtracts from copyright rather than adding to it. [..] Copyright grants publishers power to forbid users to exercise rights to copy, modify, and distribute that we believe all users should have; the GPL thus relaxes almost all the restrictions of the copyright system. The only thing we absolutely require is that anyone distributing GPL'd works or works made from GPL'd works distribute in turn under GPL. [..]

Newer cars tend to be larger and heavier than older cars, which does not help fuel efficiency.

For the US specifically, https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/03/climate/us-fu... says that in 2016 new "cars and light trucks (i.e. SUVs)" in the US average 24.7 mpg. Based on the charts, restricting to just cars gives you something like 36mpg in the US in 2016. Note that the EU number is much higher at ~46mpg, likely due to the cars being on average smaller.

Though I'm not sure what to make of the fact that the charts seem to show both cars _and_ light trucks at above 25mpg for the US in 2016; hard to reconcile that with the 24.7 number.

Also see the note about how SUVs and vans are considered "cars" in the EU but "light trucks" in the US...

Anyway, the upshot is that it's certainly possible to get something that will get you over 40mpg, but the average is below that even for new vehicles, in the US.
IRC was never used by the general population like email (and now Slack). 10 years ago I worked at a company where the dev team used IRC for chat, and the non-devs didn't use chat because IRC was too daunting.

But they seemed very confident, so I believed them, despite my skepticism. Now they're walking all that back and removing any definite-ness from their timelines, which falls back in line with my picture of reality.
