> How exactly would they find out that people are breaking quarantine at home in time to contain the situation?

It doesn't matter. Enforcing the law is not my job. That is the police's job. They should do it, instead of trampling innocent people's freedoms.
That first point seems really important. Like "I don't rate enough to get time with the hiring manager, even though I already work here?"

If you can't allow people that, you would at least need to make sure the message back to them didn't come off the wrong way.

No disrespect, but I think you're either uninformed or misguided on the topic.

The renderer processes in Electron are literally "BrowserWindow" instances... https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window

The whole process model for electron is almost identical to the process model for WebExtensions (a single process manages renderer processes, which are instances of browser window objects.).

I don't recommend this, but I've done it and it works - your whole electron app can be a main process that literally caches the resources from your site, and then displays them in a renderer view.
We use Rippling for all our HR needs right now. I highly recommend it - they have an entire “App” ecosystem which basically unlocks various features and services for a low cost. They do healthcare for companies your size for a very good price.

What really confuses me is how to deal with point no.3. Is everything priced in the initial offer? Do I estimate hours based on the feedback and add them to the initial price? How can I distinguish between features that were included in the original offer and stuff that has to be added? I usually follow the exact same steps you outlined but a lot of the features we're asked during step 3 are in a gray area.
Get a pixel 4a and put CalyxOS on it and you're good. Only use it for work and keep your flip phone for personal stuff for maximum security I guess.

The important goal of "widespread knowledge for all" is what matters, and matters an order of magnitude more than "believing in and preserving the particular way we do it now."

So, I don't care if piracy can't do what you mention. That may be a good thing -- I'm especially glad you mentioned publishers, who I'm not certain deserve to exist any longer. I personally don't think they do. Before, they did two useful things; distribution and curation. There was no other way to do that then.

They are absolutely not needed to do those things now, on a fundamental level, so -- evolve or die, I don't much care either way.
Oh please. Do you really think that MS has nobody with any level of competency on any single team in their entire org?

He said no such thing.

Interesting but is this surprising? I imagine a good portion of those looking for an internal transfer are yearning for a change; once rejected internally, the only place to look is beyond your current company...

Options in a startup are 100% gambling.

Startups offer them in lieu of pay -- they're asking you to bet on the eventual success of the stock. As such, my perspective had been to negotiate to minimize the amount of options in exchange for maximizing the pay rate.

I basically consider stock option to be effectively worthless, and the pay rate is the only thing I really consider. That said, it's happened many times that I've worked for a company even though they couldn't afford to pay me a reasonable salary, because I was drawing value from the work itself. In those cases, options are nice because they are an acknowledgement from the company that you're taking a risk in working for them.
To paraphrase an old saying: how do "files" help me go viral on TikTok?
I think this is pretty good advice. I think about if I should move on as two parts.

1. Am I learning? Improving Skills? Gaining Insight? Working with Interesting People/Problems?

2. Am I getting paid enough for the value I provide?

The best positions have both, but it's not always that simple. I can forgo 2 for a time if 1 is really happening because in the end, the skills will eventually lead to better prospects. I also can do a boring not as growing job if it pays well. I think people get stuck though after all their learning and skill building and the friction of finding something new stops them. (I know from experience, its a lot of effort to switch things up)
don't worry, they're offsetting environmental harm by excluding chargers and other accessories from your purchase. You can pay more to get these items, because that's Apple's commitment to the 'environment'.
It really depends on the company culture. Yeah if the standards are higher, and your manager will give you a hard time over it, and you have to fight for a raise, it looks terrible.

If the company has lower standards for internal hires, and tells managers to expect and encourage internal mobility among their reports, and gives raises and salary transparency (i.e. you're a level 2 engineer, this is the range that we pay level 2 engineers, and you're in the Xth percentile), internal mobility looks awesome.

While there are some inherent advantages (location and benefits consistency), you're right that many companies try to price those advantages in or worse, and it's often a bad deal. It's up to the company not to do that
Just before everyone starts high-fiving each other, even the release itself brands it as a delay. I accept that it is a positive development, but do not read as anything but that: a temporary delay to let the furor die.

On this note, is anyone familiar with the state of alternative Windows shells? The last time I played with them was ca. 20 years ago when the cool kids were running LiteStep on Windows XP.

The LiteStep web site and forums still seem to be up, but I don't think it's been under active development for quite a while. I've also seen some scattered praise for Classic Shell / Open Shell (although I'm not sure whether that's a full shell replacement) and heard of a handful of people running the ReactOS shell on Windows.

Is this still at all viable, or has MS made an intractable mess of the relevant APIs over the years?
you are correct. That comment is only applicable for the old version. Newer versions will bypass throttling out of the box
> You really think the browser sandbox limits what the website can do with the data on their servers?

And that is different than the mobile app store, how, exactly?

Data you provide to a company is theirs to do with as they please - whether it was ingested through a Iphone app or a website makes absolutely zero difference.
Eh, give it a day or two, someone will make a tool that sets it and keeps it set just like they did for Windows 10, or, leave. That's what I'm doing, Windows 10 currently only gets booted for me to play a couple e-sports games with bad DRM that some of my friends and I play together, other than that, I'm in Linux full time on Pop_OS!

> 108 keys sounds like 4 keys too many to me

108 includes 104 plus 4 media keys. I think there are also a few international layouts with more keys than US-standard, but I never got that far.

> I wonder if you could use multiple FPGAs and include a USB hub (soft or real)

That... is a recipe for pain. Complexity of small hardware projects is basically Ackermann in the number of processors you are coordinating.... Ideally in a product you really, really want only one firmware blob to update at a time.

> if you split the ten-key out, that might be enough to do the rest of the keyboard with a 144 pin chip, and the tenkey with a smaller chip.

I don't know if alt-codes would work with this strategy.

Regardless, none of this is worth it just to avoid prototyping with a BGA or dev board. (I'm not even trying to avoid those for production; this is my day job so I'm not that afraid of big BGAs. I just don't want to ever have to solder or probe them, and the gods alone save you if you have to rework a joint!)
This is me!!!

I applied for a product manager job in March of 2020 as a transition from engineering.

The hiring committee approved hiring me on March 9, 2020. They were gonna make an offer the following Monday, March 16. However, that Wednesday was March 11. I decided to work from home because I was spooked by COVID-19. We were all told to WFH at end of business that day.

The role ended up being eliminated on March 16 instead.

It wasn't a personal factor, but goddamn I was salty about it. Getting denied that internal transfer, even though it had nothing to do with me, really soured my feelings on that company. That plus the feeling of not having any more interesting advancement opportunities in my existing role were big factors in why I left.
Most of the apps on my phone are from f-droid so your premise is void.

It's true that it's unreasonably hard to get a decent mobile device that's also free by his definition, but there definitely are free app choices which are often superior to their closed equivalent if you step outside of the apple ecosphere.
like others have mentioned, definitely go the 83b route if possible. if they don't offer it, and you have faith in the company, try to exercise your shares as early as possible. AMT is a bitch, and can price you out of ever getting the lower cap gains rate. Of course if the feds decide to raise the cap gains rate like they want to, then it won't really matter

> why lots of developers have chosen GNOME/GTK to build their own desktop environment

Because the licensing status of Qt was for a long time somehow murky [1]. By 2000 when it was GPL'd many now-current desktop environments have already been born.

> The research doesn’t look into specific types of innovation. However, it mentions that in more recent years the subscription model has been embraced by an increasing number of software companies.

If the "innovation" is concentrated in anti-piracy technology/practices, then the real implications may be quite different from first glance.
Used to be C for Charms in Windows 8. RIP

(Global Share/Print/Cast/Project was a good idea, just needed more apps to support it.)
I'm trying to break away from Windows but Linux OSes are in such poor shape as replacements for workstations... In particular I'm talking about desktop environments, not so much the OSes themselves, although the kernel and the OSes at times have their own problems too.

I decided to try GNOME 40, everything was sort of okay until I couldn't even even pin custom applications to the dock... I had to write .desktop files or something and I just gave up. I also tried ElementaryOS but still ran into tons of usability issues.

Granted, a lot of those issues are because some apps are missing Linux specific functionality and developers aren't really focused on supporting Linux, but honestly there are power users waiting to get away from Windows right now. Every other week my friends are talking about how once there's a good Linux alternative they're switching and never looking back. Now with Valve's Proton things are looking better than ever for gaming, but it still feels like Linux has a long way to go.
Opposite. If they are interviewed then they know they are being considered. Further, they are less likely to leave if an internal candidate is selected. The article opines this is because employees will then believe that future hires might also be internal, whereas an external hire signals broader competition for a role.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they still maintain a fork that runs on PPC as insurance. OS X/macOS has had multi-ISA support internally since it was just a codename project. And likely always will.
I'm ok with cheaper products that are funded with ads. I'm not ok with not having the option to pay more to not see ads.

- How can I pay microsoft to never see an ad in windows? (paying for office 365 gets rid of most of them, but not all)

- How can I pay my cable provider to not see unskippable ads in on-demand content?

- How can I pay my newspaper to have an app that doesn't show me an ad every couple of pages?

- How can I pay google to just show me the results, without filling the majority of the page with ads? (Paper cut: this used to exist, but google got rid of it before I ever found out it existed.)

On a hot summer day, you defrost your freezer. The kitchen gets colder (while the freezer gets hotter).

Sadly, once the freezer is entirely defrosted, it will be hot everywhere.

What's logic-twisting is pronouncements that climate is simple and can be understood without trying. Its far more nuanced than that. Ocean currents, wind patterns, glacial melt. I'd suggest no more posting until reading up on the matter.
The article shared by Johnny555 is a good breakdown of the mechanics. Speaking to my own experience, my ballpark estimate is that I received an order of magnitude less money than I would have had I received my initial grant as a percentage of the final sale price. Pennies is hyperbole, but the amount I received from the 9 figure acquisition was thousands of dollars (instead of hundreds of thousands of dollars based on my original grant).
And yet, they’ve made it much more difficult to pirate their suite now…

I disagree with anyone who thinks Adobe, Microsoft, or any other software vendor made pirating easy bec it would boost long term sales.

100% of executives are focused on this quarter and nothing else.

Bad licensing enforcement was just a by-product of focus, and resources. As we see pirating O365 is impossible, pirating the offline Office suite is doable but much harder than it once was and usually requires buying a volume key instead of downloading a crack. I know pirating Adobe is technically possible but from what I’ve seen requires a lot more work and isn’t foolproof like it once was (download Adobe, click crack on crack software).

In general good software licensing frameworks have been commoditized and it’s pretty easy to add to your product. Idk anyone who would look at that and think rolling their own broken solution is better bec it could lead to better long term sales.
I do see your point but I’d accuse any side of virtue signaling. Both sides do it for sure but it’s just been really in your face on reddit and reddit is pretty one sided at this point.
...Isn't that how Sears went bankrupt?
Hmm. In what sense do you believe that class has a code section that "lives" on the stack or heap?

On a modern system you can't usually do that because of W^X rules (also on a non-x86 modern system the performance would be abysmal if you tried because why waste transistors supporting something only crazy people would want?)

So perhaps notionally in the abstract machine if I have sixteen Clowns in a C++ vector there are sixteen copies of the Clown method squirt_water_at() in the vector too, but I assure you all the compiler emits is one copy of squirt_water_at() for Clowns, to the text segment with the rest of the program code, and maybe if Clowns are virtual, a pointer to a table of such functions lives with each Clown just in case there are Jugglers and LionTamers in the vector too - although compilers can sometimes figure out a rationale for not bothering.
Thanks for the term and the resources! Sometimes one has a vague idea and it's really nice to see that this is a thing people put thought into.

Funny that I would describe a solution based on machine learning as scruffy and a solution based on bayesian logic and knowledge databases as neat, whereas Wikipedia defines it the other way around.
>Stallman was as wrong about just as much stuff as he was right.

When it comes to predicting the future correctly, 50/50 is a pretty good track record IMHO.
It could be argued that there is a technological Maya that has to be overcome before you mature as a developer. Most people grow up spoon fed the "it just works" ideal, even old school computer people never really had to doubt that their floppy drive would read a disk or that their PC BIOS would accurately boot their computer.

It's only after the technological illusion of Maya breaks that you realize floppies have read heads, hard drives have moving parts, CPUs have conductive traces and all of these are vulnerable to breakdown, entropy exists in the system and cannot be expelled, that the previous "ideal" state of your system was temporary, an illusion, that nothing always works the way it is supposed to and that your options boil down to "burn it to the ground and start over" or "leap into Hades both feet first to rescue the soul of what you love".

Most people go the first route. Buy a new one. Replace what is broken with something else. That way the illusions are never broken. The technology didn't fail, only its current & easily replaceable avatar.

As the Son of God once did, after its death it will rise again, immortally replaceable.

However, it is only after you have faced that 2nd trial by fire and returned with your elixir that you as a changed being can peer through the veil. The meme about "CPUs being rocks we filled with lightning & tricked into thinking" rings differently to you now.

You're touched the bones of the God and found that they crumble. There is no God here, only a beautiful shambling nightmare that has eaten the minds and souls of millions, built by mad scientists and engineers in a vain attempt to create the God whose physical absence they find themselves longing for the same way a neglected child longs for the embrace of their mother.

Zero complaints...to you. I can see giving up on asking other Linux users for help if they're so dismissive. Users aren't wrong. Apple gets that. If you have a problem getting something basic to work, it's Apple's fault, not the user's fault.

This will be a hard cultural shift to make for Linux culture given their starting point today.
It is interesting how you thought that I thought the label came from Apple, even though I did not mention it.

The key point is that the label did come from the collaboration that Apple engaged in.
I'll stick to using Windows Server as my desktop.
I have built a remote team and 99% of the time the people I hire have not ever had a chance to own options in a company before so I always end up teaching them how they work.

The best way to negotiate options, in my opinion and experience, is to choose a number that you want your options to be worth in 4 years. For example "Hey CEO/Boss, if I work here and blow it out of the water for the next 4 year, I want the options you give me today to be worth at least X number" - This is a fair way to structure the conversation for a few reasons.

1. It sets up a timeline that is inline with your realistic amount of time at the business. If I tell you your options will be worth 100k for example after we IPO for 3B, that is not realistic or fair to you - it only justifies me shafting you today because I'm talking 10 years out and best case scenario.

2. You can walk through the future states (ie 1 to 2 funding rounds) and project the current value out based on expected increases of valuation at these subsequent fundraising rounds.

3. You set the number that you think your effort is with.

4. it is not talking about % points which people have weird biases around due to internet

Note: Assume 20% dolution at each fundraising round.

---

My rec's: If its your first startup, tell your boss after 4 years you want your equity to be around 200-300k. This gives you a way to walk backwards to today and come up with a real number of options to hit it.

If its your second and you want a home run be in the 750k-1m range

If you're an exec/leader - aim higher and talk it over.

> So, you could have delayed the app by the same amount
> but now have a mongo environment for production as well?

No, we couldn't have. Not just because we didn't want MongoDB, which at the time was notorious for data loss, but because our ops team didn't have the capacity at that point in their schedule or team size to handle it. Maybe had we discussed at the beginning of the project plans could have been made or altered, but we didn't and so they couldn't.

> Seems a bit of a waste to rewrite the app instead.

The responsible dev took the time necessary to rewrite the data layer to better reflect the needs of the application.

Is what I wish had happened. Instead the developer jammed the huge JSON blobs into a column on an MSSQL table and changed a few lines. lolsob.
