Thanks for the reply, this reframing of the question is insightful. I'm definitely more in the camp of generalist backend with some political savviness, because I tend to enjoy collabs and getting things out more than a technical deep dive. This leaning does make me question the utility of my skills vis a vis the more technical depth that a lot of folks acquire working in focused areas of interest. I guess I hadn't thought of politically / generally effective as an archetype for higher level eng positions, especially since that seems harder to translate when moving to new teams and companies. Folks have described the 'T' engineer as the most desirable shape for eng, and I assume the depth in that T is some particular tech niche or stack that you should be building out to grow.

Appreciate this.
That sure sucked but this was not about the age but about the cost.

They wanted to fire the most expensive people. In union shops seniority tends to go in hand with higher pay.

And I'm guessing their thinking was that the closer someone is to retirement, the more likely they are to accept a payout offer.
Lots of people have bad impulses that they need to control and therapy helps there doesn't it? The goal wouldn't be the same as conversion.
You mean a Linux desktop app. Electron apps aren't native.

> The video was censored because Paul states cloth masks are worse than N95 masks for infection. Which is scientifically accurate as far as I know.

I tend to agree, although I'm far from being a conservative.

It is probably also safe to assume that YouTube didn't do their homework when taking him down, just like they did so many times honoring illegitimate DMCA takedown requests. Bias or not, YouTube just sucks.
One could argue that their support team has handled this change unskilfully and that Agilebits should have hired a larger and more skilled support team before having a way to pay that team.

One could argue that.... but one would be silly to do so.

There are many stories like this; there are even cases where someone got convicted of child pornography for sending nudes of themselves to their {boy,girl}friend.

It's bonkers. But it happens. Unfortunately all of this has become something of a taboo, but teenagers having sex is ... kind of normal. What exactly is and isn't acceptable is very hard to decide as a general matter, and far too often any conversation is shot down with "pedophile apologist!" or, in this case, baseless "you must have done something wrong!" assumptions.
It’s Boomer bait.

For this use case, a subscription makes a lot of sense. I have no complaints, though I currently do not subscribe to this application. I would, if I felt the need.

My take on the hatred boils down to these things:

Utility type applications built as a service offer an inexpensive purchase of some kind, or are AD driven, etc... Then, features are changed, roadblocks added, user experience degraded to create problems that subscriptions pay to remedy, often poorly.

Noisy subscriptions. It's not enough to send a few bucks a month. ADS, various pitches, in app sales happening, all contribute to what might otherwise be a simple, worthy experience and solution.

It can be hard to cancel. -->if this happens to someone even once, the hate can be visceral afterword. Everyone else, no matter how well they do business is impacted to a degree.

Subscription apps / services going away on short notice. What were people paying for?
Call me skeptical.

What I understand the screw up there was not testing each well before putting it into potable water service.

It's not a new thing. My grandfather had a gig during the 1930's testing wells and springs for the USDA. My grandmother said a lot of wells and springs people were drinking from were contaminated with heavy metals and bacteria.

Does this provide real time "coaching"/suggestions during the game for League? I remember there used to be this application called "bwcoach" for Starcraft Broodwar, that would yell at the player if he's not building enough workers, not spending enough resources, not scouting, etc.

The capabilities of your League app seem to be easily accessible via multiple other apps (porofessor, op.gg, League client itself), and during pick/ban, suggesting champions/runes to use based purely on community stats may actually be detrimental (the player may be much worse at a suggested counterpick, than if they just played their best champion).

I think if the coach client can provide suggestions such as the following, it would provide a lot of utility for minimal effort:
1) reminder to check mini-map
2) after a kill, suggest backing vs. pushing wave to tower vs. roaming
3) itemization suggestion, which has a more objectively optimal choice based on team comp/itemization than champion selection.

As far as I know there are three types of player versus player (PVP) games: slow paced strategy games (Pokemon), fast paced strategy (Starcraft, League of Legends), action games (Call of Duty, Halo, Fortnite). For the first type of game, having a tool to teach the best strategies makes sense. For the latter two, not so much.

From personal experience, fast paced strategy and action games just require a ton of practice. I used to read up on the best COD weapons and the best League setup but that never really put me in a place of contention against top players. Regardless of how many videos I watched of the top gamers, I just wasn't good.

Question: I'm wondering what special info your app can provide players that will actually help them get better than just playing the game more. E.g. Knowing a person will "gank" more based on a tag doesn't mean the user will know how to respond to that.

Anywho, good luck on the launch! It's a big feat to even release a product - never made it that far myself haha.
I interviewed at somewhere that iZettle acqui-hired...salary terrible, no benefits, next-level bad interview process (they had someone from HR doing technical interviews, I asked why, the HR person actually said they didn't know). Almost every other local tech company, admittedly not a backwater, paid higher.

In my experience, generally, there isn't a straight read from "company you have heard about" to "has any clue what they are doing".

Wormhole-GUI v2.3.0 is released
Is the idea in a case like this to go full website, or use something like React/Vue to build a site that's just JS+HTML front end and API calls, and then ship a shim of an app which has a webview and the JS+HTML locally, and makes the same network API calls? Then it seems like the build process for native could be just about completely automated or at least reduced to it's basest components, and it's just dealing with App stores.

Is this a normal thing that's already done? As is probably obvious, I'm not a front end or app developer.
> but the price of broken trust, cynicism and apathy that follows is something that affects the whole.

Very well said.
This release features a lot of fixes and improvements, but most importantly, it also features release binaries for FreeBSD and macOS (M1) on the arm64 architecture. See the link above for full release notes.
> No, this is much worse because now the Taliban will end up much more powerful than they ever were prior to 2000.

A lot of tech interviews screen for the ability to quickly solve whiteboard problems.

But the problems you solve on the job rarely if ever resemble those problems.

Perhaps we have a lot of impostor syndrome because we have a lot of people who aren't the right fit for their job. (This has been my personal experience.)
Done with them. I have been holding out on 1Password 6 for years. The fact that you can’t get the safari extension without going to 7 has had me considering moving for a while. Now it is without a doubt that I will be migrating to bit warden or something similar. Another great product ruined.

More and more mention of the "amazing" house they found in the suburbs with an outdoor pool (!) that is so much less expensive than in Toronto or Vancouver, the "fantastic" school the kids attend with sports teams and cheerleading and other afterschool activities, and—especially—how unbelievably cheap everything is at the supermarket, mall, and gas station.

I wonder, why doesn't Canada simply... compete?
This will lose its efficacy very quickly once people catch on to the trick, just like everything else in B2C marketing.

> I don't really understand the almost-automatic hatred of subscriptions. if an app has ongoing development that you benefit from, it seems entirely fair to pay a subscription.

I don't _want_ the ongoing development. Photoshop from 5 years ago is perfectly fine for me. Same with Lightroom, etc. I mean, I've only paid Apple _once_ for Logic Pro and have been getting upgrade after upgrade for no cost -- a nice bonus, but I'd be perfectly happy if logic's code had been set in stone at the moment of purchase, too.

The consumer-friendly option is to let the consumer decide if they want upgrades. Or for a security-focused app like 1password I'd have believed something like "we don't want to be responsible for security problems if you decide not to upgrade, thus you must buy a yearly license" but that wasn't the message at all.
A Little Bit About PRNG Stuff
I was reading through the comments wondering why so many technically capable people are paying for a password store service when passwordstore works nicely in the space and gives you some comfort in knowing how it works.

I highly recommend pass.

My set up is as follows:

- setup the key, share the private key to other devices who are going to use the same pass store;

- use syncthing to sync my passwords between devices (you can use github - but I just find it works nicely with syncthing;

- all passwords and other content are just gpg encrypted text files;

- use the pass cli utility to read the passwords;

- first line of the text file is the password so the apps and cli will read that into the clipboard (with a time limit to expire if you are on your phone;

- for android phones/tablets I use 'openkeychain' to manage the key and 'password store' as the app to read the encrypted text files and copy the passwords;

There are other browser extensions etc. I just don't find a need to use them though.

It has worked well for me over the years while I have seen the passwords market go more towards a subscription model over time.

My wife uses the same system, I just set it up for her and then it is seamless for her as well.

"It's simple. If you don't want to be poor, earn more money".

God I'm such an IDIOT. Why had I never thought of that...

Seriously though, I love reading the comments section of HN, a subsection of a subsection in a high-growth, high-value industry talking about how easy/simple it is to make a ton of money and use that money to do things they want.

Where my Eastern European hackers at? Where my Indian code-factory guys? Anyone want to chime in on your experiences?
I actively do not want this as a consumer.

I don't care about competition, for payments or other shit. I want to deal with Apple's payment system because I don't want my payment details and other personal information scattered across whatever crap an app developer decides to use. I like being able to cancel subscriptions in a single place. I don't give a shit about your profit margins or being able to sell my personal info for more money.
Whatever you do, do not send your meteorite to a scientist or university researcher to verify or examine. Meteorites are valuable and desirable, the scientist will find any excuse to steal your rock. Due to their position and perceived authority, they believe they are entitled to your property; do not trust them.

Edit: Downvote me if you like, but even OPs article admits as much: "Please note that any unsolicited specimen sent to UNLV or our department will not be returned." What I say is well known in the geology hobby. There are only a handful of people who have a good reputation for verifying and returning meteorites. At the very least, do your research and try to find somebody with such a reputation first.
While I'm sure you have a point that some people are getting shafted by lack of inflation compensation, what does that imply for stablecoins vs. conventional banks and/or central banks?

That issue could occur in any system with expanding money supply, and you want a system in which the money supply expands in some sync with the economy, because otherwise it's attractive to just hoard paper (or crypto, or whatever) wealth and not invest.

In any case, isn't this primarily a political problem (or where the issue is private: a problem of a poorly phrased or one-sided contract)?

I think a lot of consternation comes from priority being set by the product team, and not from the engineering team. The priorities need to satisfy both parties.

I'm very much a fan of roadmaps, planning, and delivering big product changes quickly, but I'm also pretty aggressive about carving out time for things that are going to improve velocity overall. As an example, right now, one of my team's highest priorities is to remove a bunch of dependencies from local deployment and CI so that a developer can run the whole stack with just "go run main.go" and so that CI tests more of our stack. (Our team runs managed Kubernetes clusters with our company's software stack installed in it, so it's very easy to get into the state where you need accounts with 3 cloud providers and 25 secrets to do anything... and it's a big productivity killer to require all of those for every change. And it means that a lot of test coverage is manual, which is an amazing velocity killer.) No product manager would rate that as the top product priority, but as the engineering TL I know it's a productivity multiplier -- reduce development cycle times and get more story points out of each sprint going forward. An engineer can test 100 of their tweaks per day, instead of 10.

Another option is to schedule slack times into your sprints. Ruthlessly prioritize, figure out how many story points your team can do per sprint, and fill it up. But, if your team typically does 100 story points per week, only take on 80 story points of work, and use the other 20% for "things that come up" or "things that engineers feel like doing". I haven't actually done this, but I plan to in the future, so I don't know what the right number is. But people always feel bad when 100% of their work is chosen for them; so build in time to let people choose their own work. The business gets what they want, the team gets what they want, and everyone is happy.

Finally, slightly off-topic... this is my guiding light for anything related to planning: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213 I worked for the author, and our team got a lot of stuff done -- we hit our OKRs every quarter, people believed us when we said "we'll do that next quarter", and we had a lot of fun making a great product. Planning is not bad, planning is great. Don't let it scare you away; planning doesn't mean "the PMs control your life". It just means you know what goal you're working towards.
From my limited experience:

If the gemeinde wants more of the kind of professional skills you bring they will process the paperwork within a week.

There is a huge difference between cantons and gemeindes. There are tons of information online, but I cannot recommend without knowing, a lot, about what you are looking for.
Fighting configuration complexity with another abstraction layer ... enabling the devs to pivot to pushing even more brittle code then ever before.
"12.5%"...there is relatively little evidence that tech companies are paying anything close to this rate (yes, after the loopholes were closed...still plenty of loopholes left).
That is until they wake up in their mid forties/early fifties and realize the entire life passed them by.

The problem of being relatively rich and living like a poor person is that it is a life of a poor person. Spending money provides access to experiences. Having gobs of money at fifties or sixties won't reset the clock and unlock what one missed in twenties, thirties and forties

Search for both "vertical tab" and "VFU" (Vertical Format Unit). The "VFU" would accept commands to set the vertical tab stops to match whatever form you had. Say there was an address box that was 6 lines the top, a multi-line field 10 lines from the top, and an SSN field 15 lines from the top, and so on. You could program those tab stops and have a tractor feed of those forms loaded. Which would be easier programmatically than, for example, doing the math on how the length of text in some multi-line field in between those two would change the amount of line feeds you would need to send to land in the SSN field.

So, something like:

<vt> Enter the Address Stuff

<vt> Enter some amount of multiline text without having
to calculate how many lines it filled

<vt> Now you're in the SSN field
