Other people in the thread gave solid advice and things to consider about how to handle that within the company.

Obviously it might not be valid choice for you but I'll expand on an idea of changing companies by describing some of my experience within a company of which management showed unique level of integrity.

The company was Base CRM (now Zendesk Sell). I joined quite early in my career and the company life and it definitely shaped me as a professional.

There was no need to talk much about values because the management clearly lived by them. Transparency and constructive, direct communication was the core. I've never felt out of loop, employees were treated like partners when it comes to access to information. There was rarely a need to ask questions because any piece of information that might be of interest to anyone was proactively presented. Whether the situation was great or not I've never felt something is hidden me. Even when there was a need to make cuts including parting ways with some people I believe most of the company didn't feel angry or frustrated as we had the full context on a daily basis and really felt that they've done what they can to do right by everyone.

I've felt safe delivering constructive feedback directly to everyone, even management. When I made a mistake to discuss something I didn't like in CTO's behaviour to executive closer to my team the reaction was honest and clear: "Yeeaah, but why are coming with this to me?". We've quickly resolved the issue with the CTO directly afterwards.

I'm terribly lucky and grateful to have had a chance to grow in such environment. It taught me that even if the company is not so small it still can be flat in practice, with no visible politics, everyone committed to finding best possible solutions for given problems as long as the management share a common set of values and have common goals.

I assume you raised through the ranks because of your contributions and not by politics. You grew vertically on the professional field. Surely there's enough of things you've done you're proud of and would be solid points on your resume. Maybe at some point it would be a good idea to also grow horizontally by finding a leadership position in some other company.

Feel free to shoot me an email if you are interested in more details or... anything. :)
It's not about the isolation. It's about enabling absurd business models by all sorts of outsourcing, promising to simplify, but in reality complicating things by having to implement all sorts of intrusive anti-fraud checks, because anything automatic can and will be defrauded. Which in turn leads to misery of all involved legit parties, loss of quality of life, by being reduced to some cog in some machine. Oh, of course jobs! The bullshit ones. With the exception of the few at the top.

This sounds kind of like "worse is better". it got me thinking about user interactions, both gui and physical objects, from the angle of "what if I had to make these as 3D assets?"

Screens suffer from limited real estate. But what could eg a CI pipeline dash look like in VR? You could have a whole virtual "control board" like a power plant.
Do you genuinely believe that if the protestors had been armed that we wouldn't have had multiple deaths when the Park Police took the park by force? Or are you arguing that the police wouldn't have moved on the protestors at all?

Knowing what happened, I think it's clearly better for all of us that the park was held by hippies with spray cans.
Sure, and they both fall into this category:

I also would assume and sincerely hope the stupid tests around "can this person write software?" are eliminated when you have people on the team _using_ software the candidate wrote.
This is... A terrible example. Do you know what gerrymandering and the electoral college is?
So commentators who are saying that Facebook should not be responsible for the veracity of posts made by powerful politicians or rich advertisers on Facebook, can you please explain how users of Facebook should differentiate between truth, falsehoods or purposeful twisting of facts?

Something this article completely overlooks is coder mental health. Working on bugs constantly is the equivalent of being a code janitor. Getting to own/run a new feature from time to time can re-invigorate your interest.

The suggestion I put out at an old company (which was shot down) was the idea of owning features. If all the bugs for features you own are resolved, pull a new feature. You now own the bugs for it.

It gets difficult when a feature is too big for one person, or too important for that developers bugs to be a blocker.
I think this is a post-hoc justification that pretends it's about caring for personnel.

People become bored and [hence] less productive doing the exact same work -- moving them to other areas of the line improves productivity.

There's an ancillary benefit in reducing friendships which can be a productivity sink, profit-focused businesses want people to be friendly - committed to their colleagues - but not spending all day chatting.

Also moving people improves "bus factors".

And that's a value judgement they can make. The issue is that ordering was different for millions of people and they didn't get a choice in the matter.
I will treat this as a real question. The answer in my case is yes.

Many, many senior executives, founders and owners benefit from coaching, and pay at times thousands per hour to be coached. In fact a famous coach in Silicon Valley was so well loved his coachees (including google founders) wrote a book about him to thank him.

To paraphrase Dune, the first lesson is learning how to learn.

Put another way, an insightful person rooting for you and kicking your ass can have a profound impact on your life.

I recommend it!
Honest foreigner question: are all US police that "stinky" that any association with them is now bad, or is it an overreaction? Surely there are good police departments, ones that work with the community and not against them?

But maybe I'm not seeing it from the perspective of those black employees...

You can’t protest if you’re sick though.

So I get it it’s a short term push to get recognition but if the pandemic is as bad as they say it means many people will be hospitalized or worse.

Of course it’s a devils bargain, damnned if you do, damnned if you don’t, but it’s still present.

Until recently, traveling outside the US meant giving up all data and essentially making my phone a useless brick I carried around for emergency purposes. And over the last 10 ish years or so, there have been varying degrees of wifi availability- at first in your hotel- for a fee- then in your hotel- then sometimes there would be hotspots at restaurants, then they were at all restaurants, and now wifi points are pretty much ubiquitous across cities in Europe and Asia. I have switched to Google Fi these days, which more or less now gives me continuous connectivity globally.

My take on it was that being completely off the grid was a bit annoying- its nice to completely detach, but literally having no idea what is going on at home, especially if you are in a non-english speaking country, its a bit disconnecting, in a somewhat bad way. All in all though, a few days in you don't even think about emails or FB or anything like that and its really freeing.

Having wifi at just the hotel was actually really nice- We went and did our stuff during the day, and at night- either before bed or freshening up for dinner- you get a quick update on whats going on in the world. You are detached but not isolated.

Wifi hotspots being ubiquitous- its kind of annoying- that constant "pull" to get an update is still always there. Instead of enjoying the view of the piazza, you are checking FB, quelling anxiety about what emails might be there (however silly that is), etc...

And tbh- I actually have a preference for places without ubiquitious connectivity these days. The demands of work are ever increasing- its really nice to have that hard switch to say no I am not available, its not possible for me to be available and not feel apologetic over it. I am literally off the grid- it really lifts a lot of that burden and anxiety off me anyway.
I think that 'forcibly' is a bad choice of words for a legal order that people could, and some did, ignore without serious consequence, and definitely without response by force—witness the 'liberate' protests—when compared to the literal and illegal use of force that the current protests are addressing, which have themselves been met in many places with force (as, for example, this very article discusses).
And yet, the handler stops biting me when I stop resisting.

I love dogs, but think their time in LE are fading. Both as an affront to the rights of the people and of the dogs. The 'beast of burden' ethic is quickly becoming outdated.
> Hashing in the client leads to a fair share of security issues, especially if it's not also hashed on the backend using the usual salted hashes.

Sure, if you're foolish enough to not hash on the server side then you're setting yourself up for failure. But I fail to see what the problem with hashing on the client side is?
Can you explain more about keeping your public identity small but your private identity large?

Does that just mean not trying to do your own personal branding so people can find you on the internet? Or is it more about "everyone that I care about, aka local people, should know about me - that's my private identity".

I'm curious, as an American born and someone who's continually trying to learn about other cultures.
Dont use todos or tickets or issue trackers! It takes too little effort to write a todo/ticket item. Your engineers will spend time doing work that are unnecesary and they will spend hundreds of hours implementing shitty ideas that only took 10s to come up with.
Instead write down a project plan, write down the vision of the product. Write down what your goals are, and what you stand for.
Programming languages: Rust enters top popularity rankings for the first time

> I don't see how Java fails bullet 3 if JavaScript is claimed to pass it.

I understood it as Java not having a data structure that can be used as a tree available as literal. JS has that. This is valid JS but not valid Java: [[1, 2, [1, 2, []]], [[], [], 0], 1, 2, 3]
Thanks for your considerations. I have a soft spot for financial and educational things. More the second than in first.

For the first one is imperative (If I want a career in a company) that I move to Sao Paulo, and I have no desire to do that. Rio is already full of mega city problems, but I manage to have some good life here.

In Sao Paulo you need to make more concessions in quality of life to land on the nicest jobs.

Remote working is something that I really desire, because I like nature, doing crafts with wood, you know, some place to get energies back. But I have a intense fear for risking my family safety by doing that.

For the second one the payment is really low. ed techs here pay 30% less and have hard time to get some traction.

I'm trying to make some demos for both industries right now, that I hope will spark some more confidence inside me.

Thanks again!
1. Strengths Finder from Gallup was very revealing. I also recommend getting the 34 strength full profile, although the 5 will already give you a lot to think about.

2. Do you have/can you get a mentor in the bank, preferably 3 levels above you?

3. Ask yourself why you want to move to management. The answers will guide you in terms of who could be a good coach. Ask for references and talk to those people.

Same here. Why is it caused by DNS over https?
The reason for that is not necessarily its direct harm though, but to avoid combating parties one-upping each other with chemical warfare, e.g starting with teargas and escalating to sarine gas or whatever.

I think you're heavily discounting the "that's the way we always done it syndrome". However, they were willing to give the "kid" a shot.
The small amount of padding in that page was a bit disturbing.
I think where you are running into trouble is that you have made the assumption (your own subjectivity) that these are just bigots with no validity.
Nope, everything is on a new SSD.
What's wrong with the way that Java, C# a, and C++ handle generics? I see this complaint fairly regularly, but I was never sure why. Is it how the compiler handles it, or how the language defines it that is the reason for this dislike? Genuine curiosity.
As long as the entropy of the client hash and of the server hash is the same, I still fail to see how this is a problem.
So on Hacker News I know get down-voted for stating a patently true and undeniable fact. This forum has devolved into Reddit.
As a UK taxpayer this makes me so angry. The fact this incredibly valuable (not to mention privacy sensitive) data is given away through backroom deals for a pittance without any transparency is just infuriating.
I'd argue that Zuckerberg was elected. People voted by signing up for his website and using it regularly because it was better than the alternatives at the time.

People are free to stop using facebook and move to a different site, as many have. This only requires a few clicks.

I overwhelmingly prefer the option of having many companies to choose from vs. having the government or laws determine what is truth. Switching governments often requires either a revolution or a decade-long immigration process.
When I did my MBA, those types of people were the minority.

We had people coming in with undergrads of all types of backgrounds, including engineering.

Anecdotally, in my work experience across multiple industries, I haven't heard anyone use the term "management by objective". I have not heard that phrase since my undergrad/MBA, so we're talking well over 25 years ago. I don't think anyone that I personally know with an MBA who would use that term with a straight face.
Isn't the main security feature of hashing that you hash against a salt and that no one but the server knows the salt? Once you send the salt to the client (and anything on the client should be considered insecure) you give the ability to generate lookup tables for common passwords. Without the salt it's much harder to brute-force the password.
Maybe he's a douchebag and was efficiently filtered out.
The article is a mixture of useful and distracting information. The ever-increasing number of federal crimes really is an issue (the example of it being a federal crime to sell jam made from more than five types of fruit is remarkable). The growth in federal law-enforcement agencies is also something which deserves some attention, as is using prison guards to police the streets.

OTOH, I think that comments such as 'What is surprising is that those two agencies now facing down Black Lives Matter and crowds protesting systemic racism historically have been enlisted by the federal government to protect blacks against white protesters,' 'D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser … finds herself in the odd position of not controlling the police forces patrolling her own city' and 'ou read that right: The former head of the Fraternal Order of Police was considered too liberal for the GOP' stoke fire rather than illuminate. The first sentence is unsurprising: the police are not on the streets of DC because of protesters but because of rioters; they are there to keep the peace. The second comment, too, is unsurprising: the federal district … belongs to the federal government. It is no more surprising that the mayor of DC is subordinate to the federal government than it is that the mayor of Chicago is subordinate to the state of Illinois. Nor is the third comment particularly helpful: I imagine that the concern with the nominee could very well be that a former police chief is too authoritarian to helm an agency which has been accused of some pretty serious mis-steps since the Bush years.

I'm not taking any position here on the goodness of any of this, just noting that the author is not making the most of his opportunity to discuss substantive issues and make reasoned arguments.
I believe they are doing something more sinister than storing a plaintext password. Why would they even check the contents of it?

That the banning came with a short delay makes me guess that they scan all input to their app, indescriminately. They just send all keystrokes to their censorship server and check them there, and apply penalties if neccessary.

The reason they would do this is because WeChat is actually many apps in one. Third parties can embed mini apps as HTML pages in their profiles. For example, when in China I used a WeChat applet to control a coffee vending machine. In order to monitor content in every app, it makes sense to just blanket scan the inputs. Someone brave could test this by typing offensive things into some text field but not submitting them.
I'd reverse it: every program can also be interpreted as a data-structure.

And this is what the article is about, it's just a lot more in depth dissecting all the ingredients needed to get there.
Dose is everything. The Geneva Convention could not have regulated dosages of chemical weapons - that would not enforceable, nor practical. ...so instead they banned all chemical gases outright.

This does not imply that tear gas is therefor more deadly than the government or the public is aware.

The word "chemical" also doesn't mean "toxic". Water is a chemical, and when riot control measures use water cannons, should we term that "chemical weapons". It's gunpowder a chemical weapon then? What about Uranium. Heck, even a cannon-ball is a chemical weapon.

See what I did there? Using exaggerated terms to advance your agenda just serves to discredit your point.
> It also means people will try to disguise feature requests as bugs in order to get a priority.

If my car breaks and cannot start, that's a bug. If I want to add a radio to my car, that is an extra feature. The difference exists, and it is important. You are saying this difference should be ignored because someone may try to pass the desire for a radio as a broken car. At that point, you could just ignore any issue because it may be a lie.

And the reason to categorize is not only to prioritize. For example, we have these rules: bugs require of a test case, and the test must pass to consider close the bug. On the other hand, new features are implemented first in a different tree, and the new feature needs to be documented (also in the tutorial). Moreover, we may have meetings to decide if we add a feature or not (for example, different new features may not work well together or may require extensive refactoring that we do not want to do), while a bug must be fixed.

In your workflow, this distinction may not be important. That's perfectly possible. But, in my opinion, claiming that "we collectively shouldn't care" is going to far (unless "we collectively" means something more specific than it looks to me).

I'm with you. I chalk it up to growing up in a noisy house. I like to be in the middle of people/the city/TVs blaring.

There are also people who like to work in darkness, perhaps because nighttime is their comfortable time. I'm not that way - maybe sometimes.

This principle incriminates the protesters just as much.

There is widespread rationalization and support for the "few bad apples" perpetrating violence/looting/burning/rioting. There is very little condemnation. Lots of quoting MLK Jr. "rioting is the voice of the unheard" and yet MLK Jr. certainly did not practice or advocate violence.

If the protesters can't regulate their own bad apples then how can they judge police for not being able to?

Currently, this is two groups of unethical idiots fighting with each other. With each group's extremists serving to justify the other's extremists.

The outcome is easily predicted. Either the protesters take the ethical high ground or they lose.
I remember when I first took a data structures course, learning things like trees and linked lists, I had a total paradigm shift with respect to how I understood my own mind.

I had never really thought about the different ways that data could be organized, and how they perform differently. I figured that since this was so basic to computer science, my own mind couldn't be doing something completely different. It might not be the same in detail as any computer data structure, but it couldn't be completely unrelated either.

I realized that data structures might make information feel different. For example, I can only tell you what the 16th letter of the alphabet is by counting from "A". I can't sing the alphabet song backwards. These are at least qualitatively characteristics of a singly linked list. The same goes for my phone number and my credit card number. I wouldn't be able to dictate them backwards, except by mentally traversing them forwards and then holding the whole number in my conscious memory as I reverse the digits, or if that's too tiring, traversing it forwards multiple times and stopping at different points.

I have many detailed memories of past events, conversations, and trivial facts, but it's hard for me to remember them on command. I need some kind of prompt to point me to the right index where I can retrieve it.

I agree a lot with the interpretation that we have a messy OS that bungles memory management and does lossy compression and a poor job of disk defrag, running on some very impressive hardware.
