How do you know it's inconsequential mistake?

How do you know person was not very well aware of the policy, and while their colleagues did adhere to it, the person in question did not, and attempted to benefit themselves financially/whatnot by breaking the said policy?

Why do you think ":)" === CEO is happy about a person getting fired?

That's why I asked "Why are you disgusted?" (thanks for downvotes everyone while asking a simple question)

It might be fair to be "disgusted" that CEOs put a policy forbidding cold outreach to competitors employees (but I personally wouldn't use such an emotional word)

But I don't get why you feel disgusted about a different thing and why you expect a CEO of a multibillion company with thousands of employees care about a random person in another company breaking another company policies and getting fired for it?

As others have mentioned, dithering doesn't really play well with compression; it adds lots of fine detail noise, while lossy compression tends to smooth things out. Also modern compression like AVIF doesn't understand palette color formats (iirc avif generally uses yuv), so that kinda loses the only thing that dithering has.

They aren’t permitted to delete reports, even non-credible ones.

It would also likely cost far in excess of $1M to investigate these. It is a clever trick though, because it sounds like a big bounty, while being actually a joke amount (he’s proposing spending far less $10 per person to investigate their medical records or autopsy). And seems possibly in bad-faith too, as he seems to be rejecting the population statistical data that already seem to refute his claims.

Advocating for identification of high-risk groups is another good smoke-screen since he’s saying nothing new, but making it sound like he’s smart and aware. Yes, there are people who need to talk to their doctor about risks, but the overwhelming majority of people aren’t in that group, but are made needlessly worried by such rhetorical tricks.
I'd be curious to see these productivity dips and gains plotted against the average age/time in service of the workforce.

In my experience (highway/heavy industrial construction) both industry and institution is suffering greatly from the loss of more experienced hands without a proper training/mentoring pipeline to bring new folks up to speed. Not only in the glut of middle managers in industry who serve more to obstruct the flow of work than assist it, but also the loss of institutional knowledge embodied by employees with decades of experience. I've seen projects grind to a standstill, or take that much longer to start, as technical questions get bounced around state/federal agencies forever with the general tune of "I don't know anything about that, XXX in dept Y was our guy for that but he retired 9 years ago. I don't want to be responsible for this so let's ask another dept." Each bounce adding weeks to the timeline.

I started working in '07, and got one good summer construction season under my belt before everything crashed and burned. I watched first hand as belt-tightening took its effect across industry, those more junior were shown the door and those with seniority were kept and cherished, or they chose to retire. The effects of this are showing even now, those with seniority who chose to stay then have been retiring since. In union terms there is a big gap in the journeymen level folks between the 20-30+ year guys and the fresh faced apprentices.

Decades of pushing kids towards STEM and collegiate programs while fostering some form of disdain for blue collar work may also play into this, but those are societal questions way outside my realm.

100 years ago the majority of workers were unskilled or semi skilled bodies desperate to do anything. People died or were maimed.

Now 70% of Americans go to college, no one wants to work outside in those conditions and the wages are so low you can't afford to raise a family.

You talk about sources, and then you immediately dwelve into myths about how much US workers work. They do work more than the western Europe, on par with more hardworking EU: Poland, Romania, Greece etc. It's not 50% more https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm

You should also cosider wages and disposable income. The US worker will have a substantially higher wage, and because of lower taxes and living costs, a higher disposable income.

> Everything certainly took longer in the new company, dealing with centralised, barely informed non-stakeholders who still had red tape in place to get anything done, along with a strong impulse to just copy other teams rather than come up with a solution that cleanly and effectively solves the problem.

Yes. The last place I worked was a UK organisation that had around 5000 staff, many of whom were software engineers. The org was divided into 5 or so different divisions, each of which had its own customers, sales teams, PMs, etc. Crucially, each division had its own resourcing function, so new projects could exploit local knowledge to find engineers who had domain knowledge, and could even consider career development opportunities when picking staff for new bids/projects ('Fred is interested in trying this, he's not a perfect fit but is competent and motivated to learn').

Anyway, a new CEO (who himself had an engineering background) joined the organisation and apparently in an early meeting asked 'how many engineers do we have across the company?'. Nobody actually knew. So after a while he started an initiative to launch a company wide resource management process. Although well intentioned, it was a disaster. We ended up with global resource managers who didn't actually know any of the people concerned. A lot of our work was specialised engineering (e.g. simulation development, signal processing, etc) and it proved impossible to develop a global skills framework with all of the right categories. After a very painful year, bid teams and projects reverted to local resourcing to find the staff who had relevant skills and domain knowledge.

I'm not against standardizing things across organisations (indeed, my main function was trying to drive technical commonality) but like optimization, you have to choose the right things to standardize, and the right things to leave untouched.

> - org-agenda is not fast enough, and is practically unusable with more than a few tens of files.

While it's fast enough for my current usage, the agenda is also output in a custom text format - not as an org file - and last time I've looked their did not seem to a simple way to get the info from a given agenda easily exported to JSON, S-Exps or any other format which does not require a custom parser just to e.g. include org-agenda into a dashboard.

Maybe there's a solution for this that I've missed before?

Third, you can have a seperate DID for every service and they issue you an login credential for that particular service.

I'm fully onboard with fair sourcing of materials etc. But what is with "repairability" as an excuse to make fragile, inferior phones?

I had a pixel 3 and I swapped camera, microphones, usb c port. The iFixit kit needed for this costs a few bucks but that's it.

It is just having good instructions that matter, and parts. A fully waterproof high end Pixel device is not less "repairable" that a fairphone.
Qt 6.2 LTS Released with Qt6 Now Aiming to Be Ready for Widespread Adoption
When you get hired somewhere you sign a contract. In the contract you agree to do work and the company agrees to pay you.

You start doing 50% of your work (under-performing) for a bunch of months and the company asks you to fulfill your side of the contract because they are fulfilling theirs. Is that weird?

Let's put it another way: You do your job well, the company starts paying 50% of your salary because they have problems. Do you keep working there till their problems are gone? Or after a couple of month you tell them: either you fulfill the contract or we part ways?

Hi,

Thanks for the encouragement! I do feel like ”the big players” do not take full advantage of networking between universities, and I think a great way to do this is by having a lot of universities post lectures.

I believe we can help students progress through their academic career by analyzing their interests based on the lectures they watch.

This is why the core of EWS is supported by a subscription service for lectures.

> I'm pretty sure just about everyone on that subreddit would prefer the individuals in question have a sudden inspiration of critical thought and save their own lives.

That's backed up by the praise for people who post there saying they've changed their opinion.

I'm not going to lie and claim the feeling of schadenfreude isn't a factor, but it's more than that. The other reason that subreddit is happy about anti-vaxxers dying is because it means one less person spreading anti-vax sentiments (actually more since their family may stop too).

However, the subreddit isn't calling for anti-vaxxers to be killed. The deaths of anti-vaxxers who die for reasons other than COVID are not celebrated.

The Guide for Transpiling PHP Code
For me not really, it's just matter of spending more time on it.

If I spend 20 minutes, I will just produce BS. If I invest more time and energy, something good will come out.

When I was a kid I always assumed everybody was the same: you could always express what you had in mind. Took me years to realize not only it's not the case, but most people actually don't use words for their meaning at all.

Once I got that, my oral communication improved tremendously, but writing stayed mostly the same. Oral can be messy, sometimes it's even better than way. On paper, though, being clear is a virtue.

And if you can't be clear from the beginning, just babble until your brain gets in the flow, and you'll get to something eventually. Then strip the useless part, clean up the good one, and you got a winner.

Parenting Classes?
I can't agree more. I find it nonsense that EU governments and offices depend on an non-EU entity so much. FOSS alternatives could be forked, improved and maintained from EU money, public entities could use that by default, and they could also be taught in schools as the de-facto office standard, instead of the currently entrenched Microsoft stuff. This way EU would pay developers, advisors, teachers from Europe to create, maintain and teach software that actually supports independence from foreign powers and instead cultivates its own software culture.

iFixit gives the various Pixel phones between 4-6 in "Repairability", while Fairphones gets between 7-10 (7 to Fairphone 1, 10 to Fairphone #2 and #3).

Are you saying that iFixit knows less about repairability than you? They seem to directly disagree with your statement that Pixel devices are not less "repariable" than a Fairphone.

You can check the scores here yourself: https://www.ifixit.com/smartphone-repairability

Edit: Going deeper, apparently France is running a Repairability index as well, you can check how Fairphone is doing against Pixel there too: https://www.indicereparabilite.fr/ (spoiler: Pixel gets 6.3 while Fairphone gets 8.7 [out of 10])

I tend to encounter the latter in smaller companies that have revenue pipelines outside of tech and aren't entirely tech-oriented.
Thank you very much!

1. In get why that might be a bit confusing. The problem is, you can't focus the article/post after opening the comments, so you would have to go back in order to open the link. I didn't find a better solution at the time, so I just left it like this. Maybe I just have to think a bit harder ;)

2. I mostly just read discussions that's why I didn't even consider a comment feature. But I'm definitely gonna look into that and see if it's possible.

3. Might be a good idea. I actually had a mouse/keyboard switch at some point but removed it because it was a bit buggy and confusing. Maybe I should rethink that.

One shd also consider that the process is often the only thing which really holds large megacorps together, there is nothing else. You could have a turnover of all staff, as long as you keep the process it is still the same megacorp.

Maybe they forwarded the email to HR, but they don't have such a leverage as the big boss has...
The problem with that signal is twofold:

1) self-reporting systems are subject to memetic effects. Like people calling in every suspicious thing they see to the cops if they hear the cops are investigating a high-profile murder, adverse effect reporting increases if people hear a rumor a vaccine may cause problems, whether or not anything in their day-to-day has actually changed.

2) The push to vaccinate everyone means a lot more people are candidates for reporting than in an average year. Given no side-effects from the vaccine, we would still expect VAERS reports to go up significantly. And since heart disease is a leading killer in the US, and unlike most vaccines, this vaccine is being given to the older population almost exclusively relative to the median age of most vaccine recipients, we're hard-pressed to distinguish "vaccine-caused heart disease" from "greater amounts of reporting from older patients resulting in more instances of heart disease showing up in the VAERS reports."

Summary at the end.

Writing this story makes all of the problems and solutions sound so obvious. Hindsight...

Let's review a few of the lessons I learned:

Keep your users in the loop, always. Do not go build in isolation.

Don't underestimate engineering challenges that you only have an external view of.

Voice your concerns to your team regularly and often. They might be to solve them far more quickly than you or they might be able to identify what will turn into a major roadblock.

Be ready to pivot.

Users say things for a reason, but there may be more to it than face value.

If you make assumptions about your users, they will find a way to surprise you.

Features will go unused if they aren't easy to use, no matter how great they are.

A user's workflow is everything. (I keep relearning this lesson...)

Users are far more clever than you think.
At the risk of being downvoted I'm going to say that "faster horses" proponents could have been right, looking at the current state of the world.
