No, a union contract supersedes a "right to work", because it's a contract. Yes, an employer can fire you for little/no reason (if it's not discriminatory) but if they sign a contract saying they won't fire you, then their hands are tied.

In the example of something like missing a day of work, the contract will spell out the specifics of advance notice for days off/sick days. If it's completely unannounced, the contract will spell out the steps of a disciplinary process.

I read somewhere that there was also a mention of calling it 'Relentless'. I'll do my best to remember where it was that I read this.
IMO a manager's productivity is measured based on how well their team performs(or how well they present their team's productivity) and this article provides an approach on how to do so.
There are, then again, many more legal syllables in English than 112.

English has such a capacity for consonant clusters and such a large vowel inventory, as most Germanic languages do, that there are many, many possible syllables in English that are theoretically possible, that are easily pronouncible to English speakers, yet occur in no actual word.

For instance, /s k r ai d th/ is a legal English syllable, of which I am fairly certain that there is no word in the English language that contains it.

Same for me. My high school and college hockey coaches could really let you have it. They never pulled you aside and did it in private either. My college coach had episodes that would make even Bobby Knight look like a pussycat. He once had a roll-on-the-floor grappling fight with a teammate in the locker room between periods. (Coach had a big tactical advantage: he wasn't wearing skates) When I ended up working on a trading desk the impromptu performance review broadsides -- in front of everyone -- felt very familiar.
Anecdote for what it’s worth:

I’ve been a heavy customer for many years. While I bemoan the rampant knock off products and fraudulent reviews, by shopping carefully I’ve actually never had a bad product delivered, and the very few times I’ve needed to call support, they’ve been super responsive and remedied the issue quickly. (Mostly refunds for digital content purchased incorrectly).

They may not be perfect, but that have that “Macdonalds” aspect now; you know what you’re getting and it’s consistently pretty good. Which is often more reassuring than trying something new.
Not everyone has bought into the singular "they" yet, so the French influence on our language still has some hold on our pronouns. That'll probably shift with time.

Jupiter has a number of characteristics that we can observe, such as gravity, that are best described by the theory of being a planet, heavily simplified. edit and if we remove Jupiter from our theory, we have a ton of observational data that now does not fit our theory.

Another universe, basically by definition, has no observable characteristics. We can seemingly only observe our universe, and have no way of knowing if something unobservable is impacting our universe.

It's not basically the same. Encryption makes the whole difference. With NextCloud all of your data is accessible by your provider, its employees, hackers, and everyone who gains access to the server. This is not theoretical, hacks happen all the time.
To start off, putting an async function there just means the promise will be executed somewhere, not that the UI thread will stop. Svelte does not wait for promises in events on elements.

As well in a full application, Svelte actually has an {#await} syntax that allows you to wait on a promise. I personally would then have a variable representing the currently waiting promise, then use await to show the status/error of the promise.

If the api has some contract with it OpenApi / Swagger / etc, its surprisingly easy to write a parser that would convert those to typescript types. TS has an awesome use as a library itself where you can write the ast with, and then tell it to convert it to code.

We use it to great effect ourselves, by generating types for axios.

Now granted, you’re now trusting the api writers with their contract, but if its another team in the org we’ve found it to be warranted.
...except for Amazon warehouses where to my knowledge almost everyone with the same role gets basically the same pay (without any unions). Minimum wage (or even amazons $15 minimum wage) jobs are very difficult to negotiate from a performance perspective given the nature of the job.
False assumption: "Higher performing workers" are good at bargaining.
We wish it did too (developer of EteSync here). The problem is not on our end though, the problem is that ProtonMail uses their own proprietary (and closed) protocols and don't interact with the rest of the apps.

The early DOM APIs certainly have some warts due to inheritance design mismatch, because they designed things in a single-inheritance way despite DOM actually being multiple-inheritancey. These days, new things like the append() method get added to the ParentNode interface, so that they’re provided by Element and DocumentFragment, but not such as Text or Comment; but back when they designed these things at the start, they only had Node, and decided to implement these methods on Node rather than individually on Element and DocumentFragment. While I imagine there were practical reasons they did it that way then, with the benefit of hindsight I state categorically that this was a mistake and is a design error. If the spec- and browser-makers were willing to break backwards compatibility, firstChild would certainly be shifted from Node to ParentNode, and text nodes would no longer have a firstChild member.

> There are so many languages which do just fine with one null type; […] two in JavaScript

I quibble over your claim here, because JavaScript doesn’t have two null types. undefined is not a null type. Rather, it’s JavaScript’s equivalent of what is in most dynamically-typed languages an exception, and a compilation error in most or all statically-typed languages. As a concrete example, where JavaScript produces undefined, Python raises AttributeError or KeyError. There are similarities to NaN as well—both come from a philosophy of trying to keep the code running even if you ask for something that isn’t defined. Yes, undefined then behaves a lot like null in some ways, just as NaN behaves like a number in some ways (though the two cases are not parallel, merely passingly similar). But then, false behaves like null in most of the same ways too (though not quite all—most notably, the `== null` comparison—but it’s well understood that a lot of JavaScript’s == comparisons are illogical and inconsistent, so this should not be considered significant to the design); yet no one claims false to be a third null value.

I think some people just don’t get the point of state machines, whether they understand them or not. Much like people who think static typing is just cognitive overhead, or things like exhaustive pattern matching just get in the way.

To me these things are indispensable tools for keeping users happy by preventing me from breaking even more shit.
They still are. I had to contact support for some purchases I didn’t recognize a couple weeks back. I was dreading the usual “support call” experience, but they were super friendly and within 5 mins I was refunded and they deactivated an old device from my account for safety.
I could use Wayland and deal with all the issues it has with hacky ways.
Or, I could not use Wayland and continue working with things like team viewer and do my recordings and presentations with actually useful programs and industry standards.

Just because something is a 'niche' use case doesn't mean its not important.
Yes the average programmer is just fine under Wayland.
Every other niche case Linux has been working to accommodate all these years isn't because, even if slight, Wayland causes issues.

I am also even less inclined to use it again after these comments.

Go Brand Development with Onpassive
Brand development is foundation of any organization or a company. Brand development is a strategic process of creating and distinguishing your company’s products and services from your competitors. It is an ongoing process of serving customers & maintaining customers trust towards your brand.

Process:
-Brand Identity
-Brand Development strategy
-Strengthening Brand management

Brand Development Strategy

Define your Brand - A very crucial step as it determines what your brand truly stands for. While defining your personal brand you need to make sure that the skills which your brand possess should stand out. Your brand value should in one or the other way contribute to environmental, social/economical well-being of consumers.

Differentiate and position your Brand- Before building your brand you have to make sure that your brand is different from your competitors to attract customers attention. You can attract attention by creating unique brand logo with attractive colors and use good branding strategy to position your brand in such a way that it stands out.

Build and Expose Brand- Building a unique personal or business brand takes time and consistency. You need to keep reinforcing values & skills by taking roles and assignments that will give you exposure. Alternatively, promotional channels, blogs or social
media can also be used to promote your brand. This motivates consumers to identify & engage with your product.

Personalize your Brand- An important to personalize your campaign to be successful. Top brands encourage consumer brand interaction by personalizing products to meet the needs and preferences of users. Personalizing gives them reason to participate & engage with your brand for a lifetime.

Review your Brand- Regular reviews will help you find new opportunities with commitment and remain true to your vision and strategy. Reviewing is very important to develop the right impression of your company & what it truly stands for.
Usually it's all or nothing: a place unionizes, everyone is a member of the union. Technically, you could say "no I'm not going to be a member". But you're still part of what is called the bargaining unit. In some cases it is even possible to opt out of the union dues... there was a Supreme Court case about it recently that came down on the side of allowing opt-out, but I don't know the full extent/ramifications of that ruling.
> you’re so unfamiliar with the actual case against unions

How can the average American worker be so unfamiliar with the case against unions? We are inundated with anti-union propaganda practically from birth. Barely any of us are unionized, corporations have gone to the ends of the earth to disempower or dismantle unions for the past 40-50 years, and you hardly ever hear any pro-union narrative outside of union organizers and the left.

I have heard the arguments against unions so many times I can recite them by heart. I've had posters up in my workplace, I've had to watch anti-union videos before even applying for jobs and I've had comments like yours pushed all over anything that even mentions unions.

The idea that someone is pro-union because they've never heard the arguments against unions beggars belief.
Memfault (YC W19) Is Hiring TypeScript Engineers in Berlin
Yes. I work in an early stage startup as the main engineer (founder is an engineer but has lots of outreach stuff to do) and so I always have a months worth of stuff to do. I wake up every morning with anxiety that doesn’t ease up until after I walk the dog, drink a cup of tea and do standup. I always feel behind even though I’m usually further ahead than am expected to be.

You say that now, but what about when Amazon starts encouraging employees to replace their arms with pneumatic forklift tines?
This is a very tidy theoretical argument, but in practice you don't build a warehouse in a rural area along a shipping route then just abandon it when the community unionizes. Companies stick around for as long as they can possibly make a return on that investment, even if it means paying the people at the top less or decreasing margin to comply with union demands. And yeah, unions can go too far, but Amazon warehouses seem like a great place for them. Also, as long as the state is right to work so union participation is voluntary, what's the problem with it?
Are you in the U.S.?

You say you don't get paid leave as a software developer, are you a contractor?
Not only that, but Amazon has the discipline for a very long-term execution. To this day, many of the vertical categories on Amazon are very low margin or make little fiscal sense. But long-term they will probably win or make a big dent in those niches.
Bell Labs levels of excellence don't normally show up in projects that are just for compliance or government relations. This can't be the whole story.
My wife worked in the event planning industry - the few unionized venues she had to deal with were a huge pain loaded with restrictions. As a client you couldn't even move a table by yourself on the spot - a union employee had to do it as part of an assigned task. Perhaps it's warning of similar red tape that gets in the way of doing work directly.
Should add that as I understood it the business model was that sex.com resold front page space to affiliates that were relevant to the search terms that led to their paid listing being listed higher for a particular keyword. That’s how they could afford to bribe/partner with portals/search engines pre-Google.

For context, squatters would often land you on some bad sites and URI syntax was unforgiving, so it just isn’t something I remember most doing. There was a general desire for simple branding on the off chance you can get it typed in or printed on a business card or in an ad, but it was not the common entry point.

Also of note: UX expectations back then didn’t trust typing into a box and seeing any result first - it really was the solid ranking of Google results that made that UX something browser vendors adopted or more cynically, that Google pushed first with partnerships then with ownership of Chrome.
New atrocity propaganda by Tursunay Ziyawudun

I felt that way at first, but when I started to understand the reasoning behind it (explained in the Gemini space FAQ and counties meta articles, which is a lot of Gemini documents) it makes perfect sense.

When you're reading a document, it is to enjoy information. Whether that's learning, recreational reading of fiction, or whatever, a subtle part of the experience is the structure of the document. It gives you context and helps maintain a flow of thought. A reference to an external document should be plain as day and stand out. It should not bleed into any other part of the document.

This might sound like an over rationalization, but to get an idea for this, imagine if footnotes or references were tossed in using parentheses wherever they were referenced. The structure of the document is important, sometimes as important as the content.
Yeah hugely so, 10% is a lot less than other safer languages people have switched to in order to get away from unsafe C.
I think my criticism is I'm not really seeing where in your data is risk or quality or success of the project quantified and correlated to this "very high impact" conclusion.

It seems you're inferring this "risk" from a qualitative perspective. Like hypothetically, we can imagine VueJS being more at risk of being abandoned because there's only one big maintainer. But VueJS hasn't been abandoned, and is doing well. So does the data support this hypothetical? And I'm also not sure how abandonment relates to productivity. If GitLab the company folds, that project will probably stop being developed and be abandoned, same as if Evan stops working on VueJS. Which one is more likely? No one knows, but companies can abandon an open source product probably just as much as community contributors. So I feel it's more about which one is more likely to be picked up after the current maintainers abandon it.
Absolutely right, Pfizer has failed on those as drug candidates for the last 20 years.

I don’t know. I would guess that that return type involved a slightly heated discussion before undefined won over null so that you can distinguish it returning an element that is null.

(This is a fundamental problem of nullable types which is solved by algebraic data types; in Rust, the equivalent method would return None for “no value found”, or Some(None) if it found a None value.)
For one thing, we lost 447,000 so far WITH all of the quarantining and shut downs... that number would have been WAY higher if we had done nothing. The hospitals would have been completely overwhelmed, and many who survived would have died.

Also, we did not ‘lose’ a year of life.
> If you make it illegal to provide bad jobs, those jobs will not be substituted one-for-one for good jobs. That's not how an economy works.

I think this betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how markets work. If you are a smart business, you don't charge what's "fair", you don't start by saying "I'm going to pay $X to my workers, so let's see how many I can hire with that money." Those are bad ways to run a business. You hire the number of workers you need to run your business at the price the market will bear.

This is something that gets drilled into you if you take any entrepreneurship classes: things cost what the market will bear, there is no concept of "fairness" that entrepreneurs should be thinking about. You pay as little as you can to make something, and you charge as much as you can for it, and those are largely independent variables from each other.

The idea that Amazon is going to stop hiring workers if they get more pee breaks... that's just not how markets work. If Amazon could afford to let those workers go, it would have done it already. If it doesn't need those workers and it's hiring them anyway, then it's just a badly managed company.

Similarly, if you get rid of labor laws and reduce the minimum wage for Amazon's workers, it's not going to hire twice as many people just because it has the money. It'll increase its profit margins, because it's a business being run by smart people who understand how supply/demand works. You're talking about the market like supply and demand form a constant ratio with each other. They don't.

It's not just wrong because reality is more complicated and in practice the simplistic models don't always bare out (although reality is more complicated and these simplistic models rarely capture how everything will work out), it's also wrong because it's fundamentally bad market theory on a simple level. Nobody starts a business deciding that they're going to pay a constant amount of money that gets divided equally among all of their workers. At least, they don't think that way if they want to stay in business for very long.
Is there a more detailed "How does it work?" available? For example, how end-to-end is the calendar functionality, does the server side see your calendar entries?
