I passed my PIP at Google then they managed me out anyway. If your manager wants you gone and is giving you bad reviews to achieve it then you don't have a lot of options.

(I succeeded in my PIP goals so they were forced to rate me Meets Expectations for that period. But after that if you get another Needs Improvement they can fire you without another PIP, so guess what. When I was sure this was going to happen, I quit because I had another job lined up (thanks to the timescale on which PIPs play out) and I like being able to say I wasn't fired. They had no problem letting me stay long enough to collect my quarterly vesting, but I'm curious how much money I left on the table nevertheless.)
Na it's just way to funny asking them for sources. Are you triggered because he can't bring up any of the studies he has right next to him or do you really want everyone to just believe shit he made up? Do you think facts are sensibilities? Because if you do you are probably the one who needs a safe space when the disk suddenly blows up to sphere.
There could be multiple meanings here. Do you mean because a big part of being in the military involves dealing with boredom, so it would be illogical?

Or do you mean you think they are joining to be violent? There are plenty of nonviolent MOS. For example, they might want to be a cargo pilot or join the cyberwarfare program.

That's really interesting to me. How are the finances raised? I assume there is a service fee. Do you have to handle collection also? What legal body is the employer of the staff and how many are there?

In Ireland/UK there is a normally a management company either owned or originally established by the developer and they collect the service fee. They usually do not encourage a lot of tenant participation.
Queries kind of suck when it comes hierarchy, do they? And you sure have some folder hierarchy, even if you're not happy about it?
I think if huge amounts of storage were cheap and common, what people appear to “need” would naturally evolve to suit those capabilities. Imagine if you could click a button and make a copy of every major studio movie that’s been released in the last 50 years as easily as you copy an email.
I wonder if it's because I was obviously foreign, but I spent 2 months in northern India in 2004 and my impression was that the average Indian on the street was very happy to talk to me?

The only bad experience I had was when I asked a lady passing by for some directions in Delhi and afterwards 3 young guys approached me and told me not to talk to "their" women (or something of that sort). I guess they assumed I was hitting on her but I really was just asking for directions!
That's what I'm thinking about too. Most directories are describing what's already available for the computer to extract: the place of something being created, the time of it, the source where it came from (e.g. who sent this as email attachment). Only a minority needs to be explicitly added, like emotional meaning ("my favorites"), or external organization ("experiment 1", "driver's licence"). While we can't use the computer for the latter, it's nonsense that we leverage computers so little for the former.

I didn't want to have any free tier (for now), but also it wasn't worth my time to actually implement payments until I had enough users - a point it didn't reach.

So every user was in a trial that never expired, despite what it said on the frontpage.
Thanks for dismissing what I said without engaging with any of it.

I've told you what's actually possible in any measurable way to make the future safer, and that largely involves limiting how people spend their money on research. Long term diversification of manufacturing wouldn't be a silly idea either, for many reasons.

But if you can see a way to actually achieve what you want, please share it. Your little quips only amount to pathetic sabre rattling, wasting everybody's time and most importantly, distracting people from what we all need to do to get through this.
That stuff isn't readable. It's mostly garbage.

Arguments like this do you no favors. There are hundreds of thousands of developers using React today. They aren't all wrong.

There are legitimate reasons to use it, it works very well, and code written with it is not 'garbage'. It certainly has its flaws too of course. However, while any website that's using React appropriately could be written in vanilla JS instead, after a while the code would start to look like a poor quality React implementation. This is obvious, because what React is doing - abstracting the process of inter-component communication, and giving developers tools to solve common problems within components - is actually very common in app development. Leveraging React rather than reinventing that particular wheel is a good idea.

No amount of money makes a system 100% reliable.

On small platforms we are still stuck into the 1990's approach of having one reliable system.

We need distributed[1] systems and protocols even in small applications. Easy to use and self-healing.

Being against vaccine mandates, being against Covid-19 specific vaccine mandates, being Anti-vaxx, and qanon are 4 very different things.

Especially considering USA Today/Suffolk University poll shows that only 4% have a favorable view of QAnon and vast majority have never heard of them:

https://www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suffolk/documents/academics/...

Meanwhile 72% of NYC blacks weren’t vaccinated and 90% of blacks typically vote the other way.

So conflating all of them together is illogical and basically an ad hominem.

Can you guarantee that the router delivered to you actually came from CISCO and has not been modified in any way? What if some chip was replaced?

Short of putting every chip under an electron microscope you can't really guarantee that either
I reverse engineer/decompile games (and sometimes applications) from the 80s/early 90s for fun. The more complex the program, the more fun it is. As an extra challenge, I try to avoid runtime monitoring (i.e. in an emulator) and try to rely as much as possible solely on what I see in the binary file.

Other people do sudokus, I stare for hours at disassembled code to figure out what complex data structure the game is using to handle its 3D graphics or game logic. It's a kind of archelogy... Rediscovering a piece of code no one has seen for 30 years.

I am wondering whether there is a way to earn money with that skill? I guess it is still illegal to sell unauthorized reverse engineered ports of games, even if they are 30 years old :)
I'd say delivering a talk and write something, are two very different types of competence.

If it was that easy, we would never have switched from charcoal to coal.

Every exponential has a limit, and in the case of plants the old limit might the pre-industrial or possibly pre-agricultural equilibrium. How much can grow now depends on not just the atmospheric CO2, but also plants and animals we have selectively bread, the canals we’ve built, the the phosphate we’ve mined, the mountain tops we’ve removed to make mining easier, the glaciers we’ve melted, the storms whose frequency we’ve changed, the aquifers we’ve emptied, the lowlands which have become salty from the sea level rises, and almost certainly a lot more besides. (Edit: and if the zooplankton which human activities ultimately encourage produce waste which floats or sinks, the latter being a way to remove carbon from the system, the former puts it back in the air).

Some of that pushes the equilibrium up, some down.
I don't think Ruby 3 will change anything with that. I am one of those who never jumped the boat and still doing their daily coding with ruby, rails & co.

The ecosystem changed a lot, as it always did. Many youngsters learn that single language works everywhere, learn that server and frontend may share their code. If they end up using Rails they likely spend more time in their react files than anywhere else.

The reason why I don't find nice RoR jobs anymore is because most of them are looking for a react/Vue developer with rails skills and not the other way around.

Also I am not sure why you think there should be cheaper Devs. Cheap Devs means unskilled labor, which means a less optimal code base. The situations I built RoR apps for always had a high testing, optimization, quality standard and liquid development process, essentially using all the strengths rails has to offer. why they choose rails in the first place.
Hopefully that "reasonably" in "reasonably requested" has some work to do. I don't think going on a fishing expedition is reasonable, on the other hand if they have evidence suggesting you are not in compliance with the agreement that is more likely to be reasonable.
Minimalist smartphone with an 11 megabyte promo page.
Thanks, that's a great summary. It does seem it's most of the way there already. How does it handle removable storage?

Ironically, the fact that a topic-specific UI is needed for topic-related tasks is another strike against closed software. Something open would have been a starting point for other sorts of views (email? PDFs?), but when there's no modification, there's no ability to do that.
The thing about this would be that it likely still compile with zero changes, if the source were available.

The code could easily be converted to later Ada versions and use C.Pointers where necessary (triple pointers), but void * are easy enough to handle now with an access to null record with convention => C.
> There isn't a mandate that requires charging stations must be public and available to all vehicles. However, by converting the supercharger network into an open charging network, Tesla should be eligible to bid for government funding for charger network expansion, which was not available to a Tesla-exclusive charging network.

So you're telling me that instead of a specific kind of government regulation, another kind of government regulation got Tesla out of the walled garden? Got it!

Maybe I'm just being too humorless, but I found the quoted passage a bit too dismissive of all the good things that are being done in cloud environments. Some of us are developing products that actually make people's lives better, and we're selling those products as SaaS, but we're not yet big enough to operate dedicated hardware with the same level of reliability and security that, say, AWS can achieve, so we run in a shared cloud environment. Anyway, the constant cynicism in online communities like this one, and reflected in that part of the OP, gets to me.
Don't infrastructure subsidies in the member states usually require an open system as well?
...Okay, and the same is true of Tesla. You don't need a monthly subscription, you can pay as you go; the optional subscription gives you discounted pricing. It's just a loyalty scheme.

It's not about profiting, it's about what your community needs.

If you are one of "all those people won't just keel over and die" (as the grandparent post states), then your community will need arms to, well, not just keel over and die. The same applies for any community that might get overrun by their neighbours - if global warming is going to bring on resource conflicts, if you refuse to be prepared and armed as a deterrant, then you will be inviting violence to your home as you will be an attractive victim. Sic pace, para bellum is an ancient principle that's relevant whenever a contest for resources becomes meaningful; so the point in investing in arms companies is not about profit, but about ensuring that your community suffers less in the coming turndown; you and your community will not get a "fair share" of dwindling resources just by existing (that's hard enough even in times of plenty with less motivation to compete for basic resources), it will get only as much as its strength allows.
Does "reasonably" have any legal meaning beyond sounding less evil?

I find the first two sentences of your post incoherent. If, as you say, processed food equals junk food, being against it doesn't seem pseud-science to me.

You probably meant the term "processed foods" is being used imprecisely to mean "junk food" which is true: the large set of processed foods contains both junk food as well as other kinds of food, some of them being processed by their very nature (like cheese - you can't have "unprocessed cheese").

I wish people stopped using the imprecise phrase "processed foods" and concentrate on the overall effect on one's health. Because singling out any particular component will get you false negatives. Olive oil - high in calories. Feta cheese - high in sodium (and yet, it has an overall good effect on one's cardiac health). Red wine - bad because of alcohol. It's only when you look at the whole you can make a meaningful decision. Yes, it's more difficult and people prefer simple decisions. But your health is worth it.

Ugh. I agree that the exploitative behavior of some big name universities is horrible, but I don't at all understand how you from this conclude that "academia is over", and in turn from that that people should avoid doing PhD.

It sounds like the fix here is a built-in-test for the camera capable of detecting this sort of obscuration / degraded acuity.
I’m a Ruby (and Rails) developer and currently write node.js code. A friend of mine that I worked with that is also a Ruby (and Rails) developer is currently working as a Python developer. I am more than willing to switch back and so is my friend. Ruby (and Rails) was fun to us and that is lacking in our current jobs.

I personally am stunned when I compare the developments in Rails to the developments I see in the node.js community. I loved ActiveJobs and am missing something along that line in node.js and that is not the only example. Since I am a full stack guy I’m also looking forward to what is coming in Rails 7 (making JavaScript simple(r) again) and I’m hopping that Rails will find a way to leverage Ractors in while Ruby continues working on its JIT.

People like us would like to go back to developing in Ruby (and Rails) but we do come with something along the line of 10 years experience in the Industry so no, we are not going to be the cheapest devs out there. And in my case you are going to have about 5 years of Ruby experience and a Year since the last time where I touched Ruby on the Job.

If you can go for multiple Ruby devs I would go with one senior dev that was able to stick around Ruby during the last few years, one returner like me or my friend that has gathered experience outside of Ruby and fill the rest with devs that have one or two years experience any other language that WANT to do Ruby. Nice combination of experience, perspective with the first two (even tough they are going to be more expensive) and some eagerness and enthusiasm for Ruby on a good price point.

Let me be honest. The last years have not been good to the Ruby (and Rails) community. A lot of us left because of golang, node.js, rust, elixir or whatever and so did companies. Ruby had problems and some still exist, especially when it comes to scalability. Problems that most companies will never have but that still hurt us. But the damage has been done. But what we have now is, I think, a good situation for a type of rebirth. A lot of us “switchers” are more then willing to come back but there also needs to be a willingness to not just hire us but also hire more junior devs that want to switch to Ruby and let your senior devs show them the ropes. If enough companies do that I think the Ruby (and Rails) job marked will be back in order in a year or two.
See also Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives, 1890.

A citizens’ movement resulted in the organization of a Board of Health and the adoption of the “Tenement-House Act” of 1867, the first step toward remedial legislation. ... The dark bedroom fell under the ban first. In that year the Board ordered the cutting of more than forty-six thousand windows in interior rooms, chiefly for ventilation—for little or no light was to be had from the dark hallways. Air-shafts were unknown. The saw had a job all that summer; by early fall nearly all the orders had been carried out. Not without opposition; obstacles were thrown in the way of the officials on the one side by the owners of the tenements, who saw in every order to repair or clean up only an item of added expense to diminish their income from the rent; on the other side by the tenants themselves, who had sunk, after a generation of unavailing protest, to the level of their surroundings, and were at last content to remain there.

> Less than 100% reliability is essential for the sustainability

Less than 100% reliability is going to be mandatory as part of the degrowth we'll need if we want to seriously tackle climate change. Less reliability, all the way towards offline-first, is the most sensible way to go

Apart from all the red flags you're raising by using tor though..

The problem with tor is that it's associated with a lot of malicious stuff. The same way that IRC was for a while. Using it on a VPS for example was forbidden at many providers. Though since the rise of Freenode (and its fall and re-emergence as Libera) it has re-established itself as a platform for serious communication.

Though this kind of legitimate use is exactly what Tor needs to get out of the "dark" corner in many people's eyes, I do think it's there at the moment.

Yep. ROB was the gimmick that allowed Nintendo to say to retailers "It's not a video game!" and convince them to stock Nintendo's products. You really can't overestimate the difficulty Nintendo faced in getting ANYONE AT ALL to look at their system; the crash had been so devastating to the market that all the major retailers had completely sworn off ever touching consoles again.

The only books he wrote in the 80s i did not like are "prelude to Foundation" and "Forward the Foundation", and "Foundation and Earth" was pretty disappointing too.

And having re-read the originals (and not the translation) recently, with my new outlook and all the books i've read since, i'd say that even those are written better than the two first Foundation books (that i love). I'd say the "Cave of steel" was the best written of his books from the 50s, a bit better than "Naked Sun" and "Second Foundation", or at least better paced. But his best books are either "Foundation's edge" or "Robots and Empire", at least to me.
I do component purchasing for a small electronics manufacturer. It's been a hellish time looking for alternatives, trying to compare crappy data sheets (that often miss key specs) and trying to get one part from multiple sources.

Octopart has been key in this process but it can't fix supply chain issues like these. Luckily there are drop-in alternatives available for the 1N4148.

Shortages on specialty parts like high power transistors - we often don't have a drop in alternative and end up having to redesign whole PCBs around a different part.

There are other component issues too - long lead times and ridiculous pricing on connectors (amphenol, huber + suhner), but that wasn't too unusual before the pandemic.
Yes.

without the word, you must do it, or be found in breach of the agreement, even if the request was unreasonable.

With the word, you wouldn't be in breach if a court found the request unreasonable.
