Im not a tax lawyer or accountant but I don't see the IRS getting involved here either, nor it raising red flags, unless this went on for greater than a year. A W2 doesnt indicate the dates you worked for an employer, though the stock vesting would indicate overlap. Not sure about California tax forms though.
Personally, I love colours on my terminal — in a minimal way, like this[1] —, but
I understand people that do not, which is why I have this in every script I
write, public or not.

# Color variables to make our output a little easier on the eyes. Respect
# NO_COLOR, in case the user does not want any.
if [[ -t 1 && -z "${NO_COLOR:-}" ]]; then
readonly c_red='\033[0;31m'
readonly c_blue='\033[0;34m'
readonly c_green='\033[0;32m'
readonly c_bold='\033[1m'
readonly c_reset='\033[0m'
fi

I have no idea why I added that readonly command there, though, but by now I am
afraid to remove it.

The NO_COLOR[2] environment variable is not exactly a standard as far as I know, but it is supported by enough command-line software that it feels like one to me.

A nice website to check GDPR enforcement is https://www.enforcementtracker.com/. They already have a list of 407 entries, though as they specify not all fines are made public.
Couldn't agree more. Will that HDMI dongle work with your device? Is it a Power Delivery port or just half an amp? Who the heck knows when the manufacturer themselves give conflicting information!
Just typical hardware manufacture stuff. They all do this sort of thing. I still remember trying to modify and build intel's yocto image a few years ago. It was completely impossible.
>Because it could have happened just as well with any other plug. It could have been a non-conforming micro-USB charging port.

But if you have a standard aren't you supposed to enforce stuff like this ? Precisely to avoid the confusion and protect your standard.

Other than Python's `with` and alikes, wrapping in a closure, `defer`/`scope` (Go/D), what else is there? What am I missing? None of these work if the lifetime of a resource is not a simple "this scope".

For some reason text doesn't render sharply over USB-C on my 4K. So I just switched back to display port instead, and continued with life. That's been the only issue.
Would the situation be better when you'd have to explain why does his monitor have 3 different connection ports but not the 5th one he needs? Or that he's lacking the right converter cables for all different 5 possible types?
So now we're in a world where the cables have different functionality, but you can't tell them apart. So you have to keep the cable with the device it came with and you lose the benefit of having the single connnector format entirely!
And it is a rather good point. Corporations should bear the burden of changing "consumption" habits, much more than individuals, as any corporate action scales much more than individual actions.

I don't think the issue is as hard as the author makes it out to be.

1) have device

2) have charger

3) plug device into charger

4) does it charge?

5) if no, write on charger "sucks" and get another charger

If one is worried about buying the wrong charger, here's a hint: people review these things on online stores, and cheaper is worse.
I wish the iPhone used USB-C...
I'm not asking from an user perspective, just curious from a business perspective. The data, if sold, could be useful from a content creation perspective. IE. if you know what shows X usually watches, it could help you with creating new shows.

Obviously, it's useful for advertising as well. But if they're not selling the data directly, it doesn't help with the content creation use case.
As someone who was bullied as a kid, I am glad I went through it early on. I learned self confidence and standing up for myself.

Glad I learned about bullies before I hit the workforce, where I had to deal with narcissistic sociopaths—- adult versions of bullies.
I fail to see how upholding two contracts is unethical in the slightest. Do you think a company should be able to pay groups of people similar compensation but hold the rights to each individuals peak performance? I'd suggest it's very greedy for already megarich companies to expect anything beyond meeting the obligations specified in the contract.
It's perfectly legal and good for country economy. What if the employee is really able to perform up to employer's expectations, but it was hard for them to convince employer to pay double?
Would never have thought of that. When I have my notebook with all the notes I took on it, I'll give that a go.
This is great! I really goes to show how not-verse I am in Forth, but that's ok
For "normal" people like my mother, it is worse. She ended up in a situation recently where something worked with one cable, but not with a different cable. She thought the cable must be broken. I explained the issue to her, and she understands now, but she still has a hard time remembering which cables and adapters to use for the various purposes. She can't just keep them in a drawer all together. She also has trouble telling USB C from USB micro and mini A since they are all somewhat similar in appearance. She still has many non-C USB devices.

It was easy for her to set up her computer back when we had color-coded and large, distinctively-shaped ports. For example: PS/2 for keyboard and mouse (violet and green), VGA for monitor (blue), 3.5mm audio for speakers and microphone (green and pink), C13/14 for power. Obviously, usability is way better these days; she can use her laptop without plugging in anything, and mostly things Just Work. However, I think these basic child's-toy-like usability cues were valuable, and maybe we need something similar to keep USB C easily-understandable.

One day I hope that it will all be sorted out. Every USB cable and adapter will have full support. You can plug any USB C into any USB C and it will work like magic.
USB-C is the dumbest thing ever and case in proof the foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

We went from a situation where no plug fits but if it does it works to a situation where every plug fits but none of them works.

All USB-C cables appear identical but can be different. For example:

- Does it carry power? If so, how much power?

- Will it charge my device? Not all USB-C chargers charge all USB-C devices.

- Does this cable carry data? If so, what speed?

- Does it carry a Thunderbolt 3 signal?

On Macbooks we lost utility when we lost Magsafe but "gained" the ability to plug power into any of the 2/4 ports. Frankly I'd rather have Magsafe. I'm sure that every port supporting power must increase cost. It has issues too as using ports on one side can lead to overheating, for example.

And of course no cable can really do everything. The only cables that can are necessarily short (<0.5m) and expensive. I know. I use them for my Thunderbolt dock to my MBP.

Where before I had the right ports on my MBP. Now? It's almost unusable without a dock or adapter. It's so dumb.

As someone working as a DBA for over 20 years, the statement is correct, but it not all rainbows and unicorns in the database world.

Depending on the organization and applications, keeping things patched and running requires many nights and weekends, which I think most women with children would shy away from.

Additionally, being a DBA is a thankless job. The only time you will hear about a database is when there's a performance issue, or it is down.

The high profile consulting firm probably takes up the majority of his week. What's his role at the think tank? I've looked at some staff there and they just seem to do "research" and then write "articles" that they publish for their own prominence. So doing both may be reasonable.
I wonder what Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have to say about this!
Every single SciFi show uses a shimmering effect when that happens, and I never saw that effect. So, it either happened when I was sleeping or otherwise wasn't looking, or it didn't happen. Or maybe it happened the night I took all of those mushrooms. Never can tell if I'm seeing something or just seeing something.
Git Commands Every Developer Must Know
We used to have multiple incompatible chargers that looked different so you could tell them apart. Now you have multiple incompatible chargers that look the same, so you need to use trial and error to figure out what can charge what. It's a mess.
Key thing is in all three cases, the same cables work.

The end nodes vary in capability, but it's nice I don't have to fish out my crescent-ended connector to differentiate from my flat-ended connector because I needed a higher transfer rate.

One stack of USB-C cables lets me connect all my devices together. Whether they make sense connected together is up to me.

> this is a problem if you expect things to be like USB2 where you can collect all these random cables and power blocks and use them interchangeably. this wasn't always true with USB2 anyway, with all the out of spec "fast charge" implementations.

Silly question time, why would we not expect that?
I think one solution to the USB-C hell is to color them like USB 3.0 is colored blue. Color based on intended usage. If your phones port doesn't match the color there's a chance your phone's port will blow up. Otherwise, how the heck do you really know which cable is compatible with which device?
And how exactly are you going to keep track of which cable is which?

It might not be so terrible if they came labeled with symbols or letters or colors or something. But there is absolutely no way to know which cable does what once you've taken it out of its packaging that (hopefully) lists its specifications correctly.

Good luck remembering which white cable was which.
I disagree. I can generally drive a moderately long route (100 km) by myself after 3-5 times with GPS. I might never learn it without a GPS that I can see during the way.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. In this age of populism those of us who live in Commonwealth parliamentary democracies are quickly learning that the Westminster system we inherited from Britain is designed to be operated by a bunch of aristocrats who all largely adhere to the same social contract. I.e. Britain with its vaunted "unwritten constitution" only worked in the past because the people in power largely toed the line of convention. The system is built on mutual trust and cooperation.

With the influx of populists and political outsiders or other non-establishment types who (correctly) recognize that convention isn't binding, we see that governmental systems choke and come to a halt. I'm Canadian and our government as an institution is just about wholly incompetent, being carried on the tired shoulders of a few upstanding individuals who are either blissfully ignorant of the massive corruption and idiocy around them, or else determined to plod on through the sea of mediocrity.

Either way, as much as we like to rag on the US, one of the really nice things about their government is that it's designed with less inherent trust that ours. A majority government here in Canada is basically an elected dictatorship. It feels good to say you trust the government when they happen to wear the same colours as your preferred ideology but trusting government to do the right thing is a recipe for disappointment in my opinion.
Probably, at the very minimum it is with respect to intellectual property. Of course it wouldn't matter b/c you can be fired for any reason.. but maybe the worker could claim that's not a legal reason to fire them. It would be interesting litigation though if they are exempt salaried workers.
I left academics more than 10 years ago. Much easier to earn a good living in industry churning garbage "conversion uplifts" and "data driven insights" and occasionally sounding smart on internet forums with low effort posts than toiling for days/weeks on peer reviews or months/years on publishing.

been working on this long? interesting - recently just coded something my own as IFTTT limitations on things like twitter were too annoying.

Trying to visualize how could recreate my work in this format/actions setup - seems like might work....but alot of this is hanging on Github being 'ok' with Actions being used for this and their cron/scheduler being used all day? I suppose it's running tasks anyways but seems like really could bog it down with a bunch of these just running and not really using Github for anything

Another note from the study is that 50% of the women who left didn't leave tech, they left private tech companies and went to create a startup, become an independent worker or join a government agency.

And of the 50% who left tech 20% didn't get a job in a different field and instead just took time off, so just 40% of the women who left tech actually left the field for something else.

So if this applies to the 50% by 35, then it is actually just 20% of women who left tech by 35 in order to get a non-tech job. This aligns roughly with this quote: "Eighty percent of women in SET report “loving their work” (Hewlett, Sherbin, with Dieudonné,
Fargnoli, & Fredman, 2014). "

Totally agree with the premise, but to be specific: you don't learn about navigation.

This does mean you have headspace to perhaps enjoy the scenery, or learn about other subjects via audiobook. IMO it winds up being a trade-off instead of a net loss.

I'm not entirely sure if having something or someone else manage the decision making process avoids getting lost. You may pass some responsibility for your journey (literally or metaphorically) off to something/someone else (the decision maker), but you absolutely can still get lost.

For the GPS example, it's completely possible depending on the system to drift into an area without data access or precached maps. Your device you're reliant on could break. Addresses could be correct or mapping could be incorrect. Your device could lose power. You followed the directions from the decision and its "not your fault" but you are none-the-less, lost. Often in our society, when the decision maker is at fault, its those executing the decision who still takes responsibility and ultimately have to fix or deal with the decision, regardless of the quality of the decision.

I conclude, it's far better to be part of the decision making process, even if you're just executing the result. Not only do you often have more context to better inform the decision making process, as the one executing the decision, you also have some say in the direction of your future.

"Breach" feels weird in these circumstances, that sounds like they accidentally failed to protect the data of their employees.

But it's quite the opposite, they intentionally collected data on their employees that they were not legally allowed to.
The debate has been tainted from both sides.

Half the people I've ever engaged with because (for example) they expressed skepticism about mask efficacy rather rapidly turned out to also hold a host of much less reputable ideas - including borderline-qanon and plandemic bullshit. And the other half seen to think that premature certainty in the face of incomplete evidence makes them "scientific".

The general level of rational debate about covid has been poor all round.

A few years ago, I had a phone with a micro-USB port, along with a few tablets, portable batteries and other gadgets, all using micro-USB. I had chargers around the house, in my car and at my desk at work. Life was good.

Then I upgraded by phone, to one with a USB-C port.

Most of my chargers had a single USB port, so I would need to detach the cable if I wanted to switch device. That's if I had a cable to hand. I had invested in around 20 good quality micro-USB cables and now I needed more. Some chargers had the port integrated into the plug so that would be useless for the phone.

In the end, I acquired a set of converters so I could put a little dongle on the end of each cable in case I wanted to charge the phone. I silently curse the USB people every time I attach or detach the extra tip.

Frankly, the new connector was completely unasked-for. If the phone manufacturer had offered a choice between micro-USB or USB-C, I'd have gone for micro-USB every time. The ability to plug it in either way around just isn't enough to make it worth switching.
Perhaps you're right, but when your £500 phone with brand new USB-C port doesn't support the so-called "killer app" you bought it for, its a bit of a pain. Luckily mine was refurbished and a few versions behind the current edition at the time, so I only paid £130 for a phone with no HDMI out.
I agree completely and we should blame Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.

Speaking about Thunderbolt via USB-C it is incredible to sit in my work desk, connect a single cable to the notebook and suddenly having a desktop computer with three external monitors, keyboard, mouse, and many other ports. I have not tried an eGPU yet but will be happier if thunderbolt evolves faster and gives more extensibility options to notebooks. I cannot forget to mention that another USB-C dongle that I use can also be connected to the mobile phone and converting the mobile phone into another desktop computer with mouse, keyboard, and an external monitor. Before USB-C and Thunderbolt you should acquire specific dongles for specific devices.
We need to go back to labelling our cables. A USB "SS" imprint meant something. Current cables have no imprint, so it's going to be impossible to tell whether something's a USB 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0 or 3.2 2x2 cable or what capabilities it supports without plugging it in -- and the capability matrix is simply too complex to currently imprint, so that also needs to be solved, with only a few available capabilities listed (even if this means your 3m cable for computer->speakers costs $30 for capabilities you don't need). It's the only way to solve this mess while holding the connector constant.

Except that every tool that uses YAML config files has its own unique language for embedding conditional logic, with enough similarities to be familiar, but enough differences and idiosyncrasies to be frustrating, requiring you to re-read the documentation every time you need to write anything as it's impossible to remember the half-dozen different dialects of "YAML logic". I also encounter this every time I need to write a non-trivial regular expression, I can never remember the differences in regex syntax for sed, ruby, JS, etc. etc.
