I work as a diesel mechanic for a chain of midwest shops and was immediately "triggered" by this article because its been an on-and-off part of my career for 15 years now.

Ive had shops where I wasnt paid, and told to just 'take it out as vacation.' ive also had shops that cut me a check that bounces, and shops that cut me a check only to issue a "stop payment" a few months later because well, the shop got taken to court for secretly running a car theft ring. "evaporating" paychecks are caused by a judge telling the accountants to quit paying everyone ASAP. I only got that paycheck 4 years after we were all fired, and only because the state labor board stepped in. For around 3 years I only accepted cash for my work, which is a legal request to make in most states despite what the boss tells you.

now for coal companies...thats a weird beast in itself. We had a contract last spring to service a fleet of XDE240s and showed up with everything we needed. cranes, hydraulics, an entire mobile shop for maintenance and transport, and were told 2 months into the work that they never authorized the work. we presented our bill of lading, contracts, and signed invoices and they never responded. We decided this must have been a mistake, so we completed the work and returned the vehicles expecting payment. The entire company was run by a paranoid elderly southerner who had died that year in a gun accident, and the work site was basically abandoned. We waited 3 months for a judge to start liquidating his assets before his kids returned from Europe and demanded his estate. Long story short we got about 70% of the payment, and ended up with the rest after the trucks and most of the old mans estate were auctioned.
This does strike true. A useful inquiry would be: what can we do about it? The technological sidestepping game seems to be running out of steam.

Will I be able to export the pandas code?
I'm the noob, not the parent. No sarcasm intended.
That sounds fine to me, but the issue was your comment that 'it is not straightforward' to compensate for time people spend on tests (good or bad tests; yours sound the good kind, kudos to you); if it is not straightforward then maybe find another way of doing it without them. But for sure, it's not simple and definitely things that are close to what the job is would be kind of perfect; I would imagine, also kind of hard to come with.
Applied Category Theory – The Emerging Science of Compositionality [video]
I think it's both admirable and naive. My experience with upper management is that it rots from the top, so if you're quitting due to systemic issues or because of your boss, it's very likely due in part to upper management's inability to listen before something blows up.

In game theory terms it's pretty much all downside. If you say nothing or if management sends exit interviews straight to the recycle bin, there is zero payoff for you and zero payoff for anyone else. If you say something and management is bad at listening, you burn bridges and nobody else benefits. If you say something and management is good, you get nothing and others after you benefit. More often than not management is bad at listening. In other words, it never improves anything for you and rarely improves anything for others.

I used to be a strong believer in giving honest feedback during exit interviews, but I definitely don't anymore. If upper management actually cared, they would have gotten and acted on the same feedback from current employees, before they quit. I no longer believe in offering crappy management the privilege of a "I quit" wake-up call at the risk of my own professional reputation/relationships.
Wait, is this for actual Pandas?

One really simple option that I think a lot of programmers would love, and that doesn't cost any money directly, is just giving them on-the-clock time to do some hacking on whatever they want, instead of keeping their noses permanently affixed to the feature grindstone.

Yes, you can first transform the dataframe via the GUI and afterwards you can export the resulting pandas code. So you can reproduce all the results

It never makes sense to me when people say this. As a Software Engineer, there's always work that can be done. How many people actually have a list of "work for the day"?
if they really cared to fix it, it wouldn't take you leaving.

i guess it depends on who's doing the exit interview. i could see it being beneficial if you have a lot of experience and trust with the manager doing the exit interview (e.g because he managed you before he got promoted). but if you've barely spoken to the person doing the exit interview, it's best to politely decline or simply shut up, so as not to burn bridges.

You will find the Google ecosystem is more joined up than you realise. If you use the DNS it will make the search engine results more personal, if you block everything to do with google at the firewall level, you will find recaptures don't actually work, you can spend an hour before it comes up with a web page where you have reached the end of all the recaptures you could possibly do. If you use Firefox, and write addons, you will find the addons don't work, their website api's, analytics, absolutely everything to do with Google is joined up so the internet is one giant Google Panaopticon. Don't believe me, try it for yourself, lock everything down at the firewall and see for yourself.
What you describe comes across more like versatility.

It could be argued either way.

You could say its more efficient not to have the T/V distinction because then you don't have to think about how you want to express yourself.

Conversely, if you wanted to be very polite or very rude, people would have to rely more on context or vocal cues. Thus less efficient because now you have to express the politeness or rudeness in other ways.

But in Japanese, you are not only convening politeness information, which can be in the form of polite verbs (Keigo), polite verb endings, and polite pronouns, and honorifics, you are also partially conveying your own perception of your self importance and sense of masculinity or femininity.

Couldn't he just get a job where he gets to help out a lot of people? Sales? Anything customer facing. This would be a good way to 'monetise' the meeting thousands for an hour 'dream'.

You could use this approach to get into elected office, if you actually started now for an election four years hence then you could get in without party affiliation.

As it is there is something peculiar and narcissistic about this project, how can you build real friendships if you are spending all of your time doing these ten thousand one-off meetings.
Or a variant, give a reader the option to deny paying the media outlet within some time window, but the reader doesn't get any of the money back.

This does mean the payment processor and the outlet have to be independent entities. That, though, nicely opens up another possibility of what to do with that money that is denied: distribute it proportionally to all other articles from all other media outlets. Proportionate to what is also a question, but I suspect proportionate to non-denied payment from the processor makes the most sense.
The consequence of abstraction is underlying complexity. And we've added a lot of abstraction.

> with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States

There are two versions of the United States.

1. The People of. The ones that benefit from whistleblowers. They are not injured when classified information is distributed - they get valuable insight they don't normally get into the doings of their employees (government officials that take their salary from taxes). The ones upon whose whims the government has power, and allegedly upon whose whims that power can be revoked.

2. The Government of. This is the actual entity of power in the USA, and probably has been forever (though the way the Executive branch reacted to union riots makes me wonder - it was genuinely concerned it was about to be deposed, I wonder if that was a valid fear?) This is injured when word gets out about it breaking its own laws - it makes the USA look bad, it destroys trust and thus the ability for the government to maintain control of the people, etc. This is a living creature and that's what many 2nd amendmenters don't seem to realize, that the government of the USA isn't The People of, it's an organism that will maintain its form by any means necessary. Legal ones are the safest, illegal and immoral ones if needs must. Anybody challenging this power is an enemy of #2, even if they aren't an enemy of #1. Great examples are some of our industry's favorite persons of interest, namely Snowden, Manning. Back in the day it was Civil Rights activists (note I'm not drawing a comparison between current leaks and that era, just saying it's another example of enemies of #2 but not #1).

As per the article, the line "be used to the injury of the USA" is obviously being interpreted by the current administration to mean "to the injury of #2" above.
No, and until 2008's Heller vs DC decision, private gun ownership was not considered an established right. America's status as a gun-loving nation is a relatively modern invention, and entirely one devised by gun manufacturers. It's working, too (and with somewhat predictable results).
The most profitable central principle for a party of corporations is deregluation of _industry_. Scaling up of the military and authoritarianism is a profitable choice as well. Those are two main incentives of many conservative parties and groups. The unifying principle of conservatism is: survival of the fittest. The strongest, toughest country, business, and individual has the right to survive. Helping and trying to understand other countries, situations, people? Irrational, weak.

You're right. DKA is the result of the body burning fat for fuel when insufficient insulin prevents it from burning glucose. I should have remembered that. My patients with DKA always had a BGL of 500 or more (5x normal), so that's why I mistakenly associated DKA with high sugar.
Not mind-blowing. Comparing to Romania, where internet is "cheaper" and faster, the salaries in Germany are much higher, so the cable guy costs more. Many times more. So in the end Internet is just faster in Romania, not cheaper, because compared to the salaries it is quite expensive.

I didn't work for the company back then but when I asked I was told that the fine print said they have longer if they acknowledged the issue. It turned out that our provider is just renting the fiber and has a 48 hour response contract with the actual owner of the fiber and our provider waited for the owner to confirm that it wasn't a hardware issue on the owner's side.

I would've probably never signed such a contract but I'm not the boss and maybe other providers are just as bad. But I certainly wouldn't have kept them as my provider after that.

In my experience, the problem with your thinking is that it doesn't play out that way.

If management is open to criticism and will actually use that feedback to make changes, you probably realize that fact and have already been giving candid feedback.

If they're not open to it, then your openness is just going to burn a bridge. It feels good, and you may not care in the moment, but at beat it's neutral. At worst it hurts you down the road.

This is a user-facing implementation of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Binary_Transparency, built on top of Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) and exisiting Certificate Transparency infrastructure.

You may already know that packages are signed, and that signing prevents someone from shipping you a random evil package instead of the one that the developer intended to release.

Transparency is a new concept that fills in a missing piece of that story: how can you be sure that you got the same artifact as everyone else? It works by adding a hash of every release to an append-only public log. Now, when you're deciding if you want to install that package, you check not just the signature but also if the hash of the thing you've received is in the public log.

Because of the logging, someone can't just ship you a custom evil version even if they steal the signing keys! At minimum they'll have to submit their version to the log as well, which makes that previously undetectable attack publicly visible forever. In the world of TLS certificates, log monitors catch all kinds of mistakes and malice. I'm excited to see the idea finally making progress in other domains.
My experience is pretty much the same as the article.

And because I value my time you risk simply not having me contact you if you use any kind of captcha.
It is also problematic when you wish to use external download managers (which I always do).
i think that your feedback can and will be misinterpreted to fit a narrative about you leaving. your feedback will also be regarded as biased (you are leaving, right?).

the best time to provide feedback is while you still have the job. when you see something that does not work speak up. when the time to go comes, nothing you say should surprise anyone therefore no need for the exit interview and everyone having a bad time in this emotionally charged moments.

> The Netherlands has strict gun control and still has mass shootings.

I can think of two in my lifetime. The one you mentioned in Utrecht, and the Alphen aan den Rijn one in 2011. Even accounting for population size it's nowhere near the severity/frequency of the US.

> Gun control did nothing to stop that.

Gun control obviously isn't going to stop every attack. That doesn't mean it can't prevent many of them.
Thanks for calling me out on the cherry picking. It was unserious of me to do that.

I started out convinced I’m right. You haven’t changed my mind, but I need to look up some info to have a firmer grasp of consequences.

Informally, hate speech laws are a tool that can be wielded by whoever is in power. Either that power is trustworthy enough, or it isn’t. You haven’t given me reason to believe it is, but you’ve made me seriously question why I think it isn’t.

Re: Nazis—again, it’s a tool for whoever has power. If hate speech had been a concept in the 30s, I can’t imagine Nazis not prosecuting dissenters for hate speech against them.
Not getting last paychecks is just one of the ways coal workers can expect to get screwed. Bankruptcy courts have been letting companies get out of pension and retiree health benefits, government will wind up picking up the tab in many cases. Same with reclamation work secured by insufficient bonds. The Black Lung fund has an exploding deficit while numbers of workers coming down with it are going up because of higher silica content due to declining seams.

This is of course on top of the air pollution killing thousands and sickening millions, the CO2 emissions, and the toxic coal ash poisoning waterways that we get from burning it.

Coal is in a death spiral in the US, unfortunately there's quite a bit more misery for it to cause before its gone.
I recently had an exit interview at IBM and my manager basically told me not to say anything. There is no point or benefit.
Google did not create reCAPTCHA. They bought it; it was started by Luis von Ahn, who went on to create Duolingo.

When reCAPTCHA was created, the alternative was CAPTCHA, which tried to impede bots but did not generate any social benefit. This was the genius of the original reCAPTCHA concept: the time taken to 'confirm humanity' could be channeled into the socially-useful endeavor of digitizing books. Capture some of the heat emissions of impeding bots for a useful purpose, rather than letting it all go to waste.

Now, yes, Google is using it to train their self-driving car AI, and there's a bunch else happening in it to connect to Google's surveillance apparatus. There's much to legitimately criticize there. I personally don't view training Google's proprietary AI as the same kind of intrinsically altruistic purpose as digitizing the world's pre-digital books.

But putting the entire concept on blast with erroneous history that can be corrected with about 60 seconds on Wikipedia doesn't help the argument at all.
Since I'm being downvoted (probably appropriately for a half-assed answer), some clarification: Mr. Hoover was demonstrably happy to (ab)use the powers of the state against both political and civilian domestic opponents.

I interviewed with AWS for an analyst/business intelligence engineer role.

When asked to write a query to get the total GDP by month per country, I wrote a query along the lines of:

select date_trunc('month',datecolumn) as month, country, sum(GDP) over (partition by date_trunc('month', datecolumn), country)
FROM the_table
order by 1

The interviewer asked me if I was missing something. I said no. "Don't you need an additional clause if you're doing a sum?"

"No," I responded, "in AWS Redshift (and postgres and mysql 8.0+ and...) if you do a Sum Window Function a group by is not necessary"

The interviewer made a noise and demeanor changed as if I knew not what I was talking about. While I can't be 100% sure, I'm almost positive I was failed for "missing" the group by.

I went home later that day and wrote exactly the same query, which ran successfully. The AWS BI Intelligence Engineering manager didn't even know how to use a sum window function. I was a bit frustrated at being failed because the interviewer didn't know of a (well-known, well-used) feature, but perhaps I dodged a bullet.
I recommend researching and listening to the growing group of young people (mostly women) who are talking about their experience with desistance.
> Is that not backwards?

No, the Bank or England is not confused about how central banking works.

TL; DR Banks don’t lend out deposits. Deposits are created through loans. Reserve requirements limit the rate of loan creation after the fact. Runs happen when depositors stop trusting the numbers created by a specific bank because they don’t think the bank will meet its reserve requirement at the end of the day.
