Perhaps it's just a value comparison thing. My company pays $5/user/mo. to GitHub for private repos, storage, and GitHub Actions. Every developer uses it every day to accomplish business critical project work. A pairing tool feels more optional to me, especially when Slack's built in screen sharing accomplishes 50% of what we need as part of another service we pay another per user per month fee for already. So a tool that's 5x the cost of GitHub that serves as an optimization for what we do is hard to justify. As a company we could afford it, it would just be a difficult sell, especially when a competitor is still free (turns out "for the duration of the pandemic" is a lot longer than they thought, oops). Of course, if we had a culture that paired on a regular basis, this might be easier, but it's more of a when you need help or want to work together thing, rather than being required.

Additionally, as others have mentioned, I think some of the issue is the lack of a free or low cost personal tier that has some set of restrictions. What those would be for an arbitrary pairing tool I don't know, but it feels really pricey if I just want it available for one-off pairings.

Now, personally, I could sign my OSS project up for a free version, but since I don't need (or want, lol) to pair with most contributors, that feels a bit wrong.
Maybe the solution is to decentralize the protection of personal property and let law abiding citizens carry protection. I travel to SF/Oakland here and there and really would like to carry my pistol, but I know it's illegal unless it is locked is a way that defeats the purpose of bringing it. I have called the police to report a theft and they tell me to come in to file a police report with no intention of sending an officer to asses the situation. To me, that means the police only want to respond to larger valued thefts which implies they are there to protect those with enough wealth to warrant protection. To me, the defund the police movement was a cry against centralized law enforcement and their ability to skirt most methods of accountability (qualified immunity, frat/cult like behavior from the departments, etc).
Think about it this way: what's the minimum improvement you'll pay a whole heap of money for?

Each generation gets introduced with new switches, new NICs, and new cabling. Since 100Mb it has been possible to have link aggregation groups, where two or more cables on the same number of NICs on each side are bundled together into one bandwidth device. At some point you need to decide that it's worth doing the transition -- and 10x is a pretty good number for that.

The recent oddballs are 50G, 40G, 25G and 2.5G. All of them come from the idea of taking a higher speed NIC and adding a little more hardware to get multiple PHY transceivers -- a 100G becomes 2x50 or 4x25, and a 10G becomes 4x2.5.

Oddly, 40G comes from 4x10G in the other direction, and is more expensive to produce than 50G equipment. It's not very popular.
In that case interoperability with Go libraries might be better: just running on the same runtime wouldn't bring many advantages (other than having a single GC instead of 2) without being able to easily call libraries written in another language.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense given the "11s" configuration I found for those SSIDs. The router is not in their mesh line AFAIK, though most of their home products now support OneMesh, so that line is a bit blurry.

To clarify, I like TP-Link products too. Their PowerLAN products so far have been the most reliable for me and the router's been solid too. It's just really disappointing that an almost (for me) perfect product has this very simple software flaw without any solution other than to hope the manufacturer decides to fix it at some point. I had the same issue with Asus routers, but they were smart enough to open source their software and let others fix pretty much everything for them.
I'd also like to see the rest of the assumptions baked in. Is there some trust fund involved -- which requires that we now consider the risk associated with how the $2 is invested to get an adequate return?

Completely agree with what everyone else has said about working at a large company, and how past a certain point your changes are not just your changes - they affect the organization as a whole.

The good news is, you can fix it diplomatically (I used to see red, too, when I got stonewalled like this).

The magic words are “risk” and “escalate”. If your project will be at risk, you bring it up to your direct manager and PM and ask him to escalate the issue. Once a request goes up and comes back down, I find there is usually extra motivation and bandwidth on another team to help with the issue. And if it doesn’t get escalated? Well, then, that work might not be important enough to address at this moment, which means there are higher priorities. So, ask your manager for other work since you’re blocked on this one piece.
If you can break at twice the acceleration you can reach the destination much faster because you start breaking later.

Maintaining coherency of the project's core ideas is my key. I was introduced to this through a philosophy of truth course. If the ideas avoid contradiction and are of genuinely new ground, pursuing the project is a matter of executing until either the project fulfills the concept or some unexpected barrier was discovered. In doing this you have to set testable benchmarks for what makes it "done" and "successful". List them all out. Sometimes you learn your principles through your benchmarks, other times the reverse. The project is often better motivated by a study goal ("I learn this") rather than a utility goal ("I earn this").

If contradictions slip in, then scope becomes unlimited. Most businesses will eventually end up in a contradictory position - and this sets a definite limit on their lifespan. But you can avoid this fate in a side project by removing some of the assumed requirements of business and allowing it to be an obscure toy or a money-loser, instead setting other benchmarks for success.
I don't see anything that needs improving.

If you don't have the courage to ask how much the job pays on the first call that's your problem. If you agree to a certain wage that's what you agreed to.
There is a large gradient between 'fucking around in production' and crippling big corporate process. Maybe the big tech companies all have the perfect amount of process, but much of the process and ceremony at other big companies I've seen is simply in place to keep the lowest common developer employed. Heck, people complain about excessive process on this very site all the time.

On other nitpick is that startups live and die with automation by their lean nature. They have fewer resources and must automate everything they can. It's built into startups mindset.
Yep, you are screwed and fighting assimilation is futile. I'm currently at startup that was acquired by a fortune 50 and they are actually allowing us to stay separate and they aren't mucking about with us.

> Queues are an inappropriate construct for managing work.

I disagree. A queue is used to assign priority to a project. When there is more work than people to do the work, you need to prioritize and triage. Just because there is a queue doesn't mean that you can't handle urgent work. You can move it to the head of a queue.

Usually what accompanies a queue is a ticketing system. Nobody like these, but when the organization reaches a certain size, you need this. Tickets are good because it forces the requesting party to put down in writing what they want. This is a necessary step to ensure that right work is done, and it leaves and audit trail, for future people to see what decisions were made and what work was done.

I've worked in an organization where we used a stack based method. In that case the most important thing was the last request. This isn't a good way to work, because it's hard/impossible to maintain focus.
For software engineering compensation, wide salary range isn't the biggest issue. It's that much of the compensation (often 25% to 60%) isn't salary: it's stock and discretionary bonus.

I haven't read the background for this law, but I guess it's meant to help people earning less than $100k, and people with less power to negotiate an initial offer.

I just picked up a Mikrotik CRS305 from Amazon and a pair of used Intel X520T dual SPF+ cards from eBay, plus a couple DAC (direct attach copper) cables for maybe $300 total. I'm very happy with the performance of this setup.

One thing to keep in mind about the CRS305 is that it can't handle more than one or maybe two SFP+ copper modules. They use a lot of power and put out a lot of heat. I think the CRS309 has fewer restrictions.
Maybe about half the passengers actually turn airplane mode on. Or turn it on for their phone, but forget their tablet and smart watch.

It's just theatre. It's there mostly to stop you playing with your phone and pay attention to the flight attendant doing the safety speech. One time, many years ago when phones were literally the size and weight of bricks and avionics weren't prepared for the interference of these new fangled "moveable phones", there may have been a problem with some of them, so the FAA put a rule in.

These days, every single passenger has at least one 4G or 5G device. If this was truly a problem, really truly actually causing radio interference, this wouldn't be allowed. You'd have to walk through an RF detector at the gate, and they would confiscate your devices and put them in a Faraday cage.

Do you know why they don't confiscate your phones?

Because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because avionics has had to deal with RF interference from mobile phones for decades, and no commercial plane would be deemed airworthy if it had any such problem!

Famously, some of the victims of the 9/11 hijackings got to make phone calls from the air, and/or received SMS texts notifying them of what happened to the other planes.

That was TWENTY YEARS AGO!
Try Doom Emacs. You can turn off evil-mode and tweak init.el to get most packages out-of-the-box, even all the language server mode-stuff of VSCode. Check which dependencies are needed and find out how to install them most cleanly, either using distro packages, nix, git, go, stack (for Haskell), npm, and the like. You can reconfigure keybindings so you get cut/copy/paste and everything you need, exactly how you need it. It's going to take a week, but should be stable after that, and you'll realize you could've theoretically done it in hours if you knew enough, which you now do. The Doom-part takes out 95% of needed configuration and makes it more ready-made for usage. It also looks and works like a modern IDE, but you scale it how you like it and have minimal annoyances to turn off.

VSCode has its own shenanigans, of constant updates, configurations, java/scala is a mess to set up, telemetry, proprietary extensions, etc. So deeper work is anyways going to need investments also there, but there's also lock-in to the eco-system and thus less freedom.
Just because there weren't early VCs into bitcoin doesn't mean that most BTC is distributed fairly amongst a large portion of people. Most BTC seems to be owned and controlled by a fairly small concentration of wealthy people at this point. It will do no good for average people, so it shouldn't be hyped as "a form of "freedom" or "revolution" or anything of that sort - it's just another asset for wealthy people to buy up.

Can't the company be compelled to provide salary data for the role? I assume there is some kind of enforcement mechanism. So then it's a matter of explaining why your lowest paid senior engineer makes 150k, the median makes 200k and you've listed a floor of 10k? The judge/jury don't have to accept a smarmy response about how the hypothetical candidate might conceivably make 10k.

And on the subject of the window, most places have much narrower bands than that for a role. It might be that wide for all engineers, but not for senior engineers for example.

It's easy to plot test positivity vs known cases and see how they co-relate over time. Apart from the first wave in March 2020, test positivity has tracked fairly well with case numbers here in Ontario. There's been enough testing capacity since at least Sept 2020 to track at least 4000 cases a day.

And if there's significant cases being missed in testing, they'd show up in hospitalization and ICU statistics. And there's been no anomalies there.

There is a group of people who really want to consider "natural immunity" as equivalent to vaccinated. But here in Canada at least the previously infected are a very small percentage of the population, at least in a way we can confirm with test results.
There's a certain irony here given that his massive wealth is because of VCs and his involvement with them (read: designing a product whose focus was returning gains on their investment) on Web 2.0.

I don't disagree with the point he's making here, and I'll acquiesce that his involvement with VCs/Web 2.0 gives him a unique perspective, but I just don't want to hear from someone who absolutely has been a huge part of the problem for the last decade or more.
If the MAX had continued to fly without getting to the root cause it would have been a completely different story than the one that we have today, which is bad enough as it is with both Boeing and the FAA owning what they broke.
> …use the best GUI OS in the world.

Microsoft was a monopolistic and mediocre behemoth in the 90s. We’re lucky computing survived its grip. Mostly due to the open web, which is sadly under severe attack.

You're partially right, but at the income level we're talking about the taxes aren't any more graduated. I'd expect someone with these incomes to be in the highest tax grade, and the marginal rate at this point is 41-43%, between federal and state in CA.
> Microsoft gave small users everywhere a free license to use the best GUI OS in the world. Not to mention the browser and the productivity tools

> It has always been a free software , unless you are really dedicated and want to pay for it.

The only way I can see for this claim to have any connection to reality is if you are talking about piracy. Yes, Microsoft kind of turned a blind eye to pirates if they stayed small-scale enough. Yes, it was still illegal, and you were still (at least theoretically) running the risk of legal trouble.

If you weren't talking about piracy, then you are simply wrong. Microsoft was never free. (You may have been paying it bundled into the price of a new computer, but it wasn't free.) This goes all the way back to the beginning - see Bill Gates' letter to the hobbyists who were taking a "free license" to MicroSoft BASIC back in the 1970s.
How can you be anticompetitive when your software is free?

Antitrust laws were made to protect the consumer, the same consumer which was robbing Microsoft blind because they allowed piracy.

And if Russia can't/doesn't want to hold Odessa, it will definitely not go as far as Basarabia.

2x-3x anomaly would show up as distortions and fluctuations in both test positivity rates and in ICU/hospital rates. There's no such anomalies in the Ontario data, not since the first wave in March/April 2020 when testing was extremely limited. I pull the data daily from Ontario's public data API and graph and track it in a spreadsheet, I'm pretty familiar with what's there.

It makes sense from the perspective of the board. Tim doesn't have to do anything wrong to jeopardize profitability of the company; his gender alone is enough to do that.
I work in a $VERY_LARGE_COMPANY (over 100,000) and this is how it works. The best way to solve problems are:

1. If you really have to do something with a different team, escalate. If you are not ranking high enough, ask your manager or second up manager to talk to their manager or second up manager. I am in lower management, so I can solve some stuff directly, for some I ask my director to help, once in a while we need a VP to help.

2. If that is not really needed, drop it. But tell your line management that you are dropping it, document it in writing, get their confirmation.

Large companies are all about priorities and focusing only on what is big. If you understand that, use that information properly. In a very small company with very little complexity and overhead you can have great flexibility, not with a huge construction. Ants are agile, elephants not really.
By choking out your competitors, since the true cost isn't free. For instance, demanding that OEMs only ship Windows, thus cornering the market, while still charging them (what, you really thought MS was giving their OS away for free, just because the OEM didn't show you the line item?).
And you have the option of restarting the game, while retaining value from previous play.
