A wise taxi driver once was relating to me his frustrations from his previous jobs and he said he was able to stop caring once he reminded himself enough "that it's not his father's company". Never forget that the world is much bigger than the tiny environment you are in right now. This is great news. The opportunities on the outside are orders of magnitude bigger than what is available on the inside.

The best thing you can do in such as situation is is keep records. Date, time, name, contents of communications (and ensure you retain emails) Keep these in your private work journal notebook (not on work systems).

Remember, facts fuck. If you keep records of bad actors, then when the time comes, you will have a case. If you have no records, then it never happened. (some people know this "laboratory book discipline".)

Quite often, people can be silenced by simply asking them (every time) for a email stating whatever their demands are. That will often be sufficient to give them pause to reassess their position.

All of this is unpleasant, but it sounds like you have almost got it figured out. I've come to realise that over time, "the names change, but the characters don't". Good luck.
I think it's literally just that they pay well
That is not how you compare operating systems. They used the same system. It is not a CPU benchmark.
Ooh this looks very nice. I love how wine “just works” but it means I’m sometimes just really unaware of what’s going on or how my system is configured.

I admit I sometimes just open winetricks and more or less randomly click on a bunch of things to see if it will fix issues when I have them… this might help me out with that
"Are you totally in the clear legally?"

Based on the way the system works, especially the civil side, it's sometimes impossible to even answer this question.
Yes. If you want to work multiple jobs, that’s what contracting / consulting is for.

I don’t think you can compare engineers to a struggling single parent working 2 jobs at minimum wage. The former signs contracts saying they won’t work for other companies concurrently, the latter likely doesn’t.

If you want multiple jobs, simply work as a 1099 contractor. It’s that simple.

There's plenty of people willing to work at the offered salaries, there is a structural problem in the licensing process preventing them from doing so.
For me, anything that I couldn't write without a guide is too complex. Like a function. Or a conditional.

Subjectivity of what is complex is the problem here, which means that regular Bash users regularly write programs that are complex to me. And I'd much rather use something with less footguns, even if the good parts of the shell become less easy.

Yeah I am aware of that one. They postponed the update, so your link is not actually relevant in terms of operational iOS phones right now. Let's see what happens in the next months.
Beyond Covid, this is a very scary situation that will only get worse as the numbers continue to climb in the region. You do NOT want to need medical care of any kind right now in NE Ohio.

We just canceled our trip to see family in Cleveland as a result. My youngest has a bad cold (PCR negative) but if that were to get passed to my elderly parents or asthmatic nephews, things could escalate quickly.

It almost doesn’t matter how severe Omicron cases are if the net result is hospital overload.

Considering that these hospitals are already full, this will get worse before it gets better.
But when the Sokal squared hoaxers were submitting fake papers to humanities journals, it was deemed human subject research and widely denounced (by humanities researchers) for lack of ethical review. This seems to be a very analogous situation.

> Because websites aren’t people.

But websites cannot answer questions.

If your study is simply "how do the servers of various websites respond to my HTTP requests", that doesn't require informed consent, because it's not involving humans.

Once your study moves into the realm of "how do the operators of websites respond to me legal requests", that requires informed consent, because website operators are humans.

It's really very, very simple. If you need responses from human beings, that's human subjects research, and it requires informed consent and greater scrutiny from the IRB.
FT in the software industry sets an expectation of full-time availability. Even if you have a light job that only takes a few hours a day, part of the reason we get away with that is knowing that if something blows up (Log4Shell being a perfect recent example), we are available to step up and spend the time needed to handle it. If you have 2 or 3 jobs, you do not have that availability.

This differs from low-wage jobs in other industries, where you are paid for your time on your shift, and then have zero expectations of your time outside of your assigned shifts.

People seeing this post are split to 2 groups:

If you want more honest opinions, you should probably post an anonymous poll.
Not everything in a hospital requires medical training. Some stuff is purely logistical.
Not everyone goes to the doctor for a scratchy throat (primary symptom of Omicron, by the way), and as a result a huge number of data points are quickly excluded from that “1%” stat.
I used to somewhat believe this too, but the fact is left is much more diverse than that. Some prominent left thinkers have always been in (rather vocal) opposition to this - from the top of my head, Noam Chomsky, David Graeber, Adolph Reed, Mark Fisher..

Anyway, I think the rise of emphasis on feelings is due to advertising technology, getting better at attacking feelings (and disabling critical thinking) in the recent decades. In some sense, the entitlement (frankly, everywhere on the political spectrum) is driven by the same "I am a consumer, so serve me" mentality.
I think that's pretty much the same for everything political. You would rather want to win than being right and lose.
Recruiter Rules of Engagement – Under Development (Url Fixed)
It sounds like this type research - which could alter the subject's actions and cause harm (costs) - should have included consent.
Do we have any proof of people getting re-infected at a population level, or even any proper studies of individual re-infection? Because a lack of re-infections is what I think would constitute a basis for building herd immunity.
An MVP is supposed to actually work (be viable) and be something that you can actually put in front of users to test your business hypothesis.

If you present a demo where all functionality is mocked as an "MVP" to business and they think it really is an MVP, that is a reasonable assumption in my view. If it turns out it's not viable at all, can't be sold as a product to anyone, and doesn't actually work, that seems like you misused the term "MVP".

They want to go full steam ahead because at best there's been a miscommunication about the term "MVP". At worst they'll think you were lying to them.

It's really important to have clear communication and definitions of "accepted" terms which are sometimes used inaccurately.
Don’t forget to implement real user metrics like Sentry. I add in timing checks for critical features that log out to my analytics and have a regular habit of analyzing the data.

Your user base greatly influences what kind of performance optimization you should be doing. In some cases it’s worth it, but if your primary user has a fast machine, it’s generally not worth it. Reminds me of the time when I had a project manager who insisted on optimizing page load time for a heavy mapping application.

And if your app is a simple shopping cart or a few forms, you probably don’t need a JavaScript frontend framework. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve removed all the unnecessary React and Vue and increased performance by at least an order of magnitude.
Without permission, cops check citizens’ mobiles for drug leads
Many (most?) work contracts mention that you can't just take another job without at least informing and asking permission from your current employer, who would most likely say no, especially if it's another software engineering job.
You need to passively attract the attention of multiple potential employers with lots of money — either revenue or funding — and then let them outbid each other until you find your true maximum market value.

That means getting found by sourcers (recruiters) without explicitly making contact with them. Recruiters are, alas, still prejudiced against active candidates when you are trying to claw your way up the seniority ladder.

You need to show up in their searches somehow e.g. sign up for tech talks / seminars, update your LinkedIn and visit their LI profiles (LI will tell the recruiter / exec that you are looking at their profile, unless you have a pro account.)

None of this is particularly duplicitous. If you don’t have the chops you won’t get an offer. But it certainly helps tip the negotiation in your favour a little bit.
TextSecure (text) and Redphone (voice) were the precursors to Signal in 2011 through to 2014. The Whatsapp purchase by facebook happened in 2014.

The key here is the words "this year". Most of the deaths this year occurred earlier in the year when vaccination was not available.

I don't think viewing this through today's political lenses is very useful or correct.

I remember a shift in the 70's with the sexual revolution and psychological movements like EST at centers like the Esalen Institute. People discovered they had repressed emotions they should bring forth and deal with. People discovered emotional intelligence. It was an exciting time of discovery of the depth of mind that earlier generations were not comfortable with. Men started crying in group encounters. Repressed sexuality was explored. Eastern religions were considered. LSD was taken. These things started in the late 60's but went mainstream in the 70's.

To say this was bad and blame it on women is an echo of conservative criticism from those days.
Previous vaccines didn't provide "immunity" in that sense either.

The annual flu vaccine had 60% efficiency. Yet people didn't complain about it being called "vaccine".
In the case of the flu, the jury has always been out in it’s effectiveness due to the seasonal variation (the flu shot (notice how that’s never been called a vaccine, for good reason) is based on previous year’s strain.

Lumping that in with the rest of the diseases on your list where a vaccine can and does provide true immunity is a massive case of apples and oranges.

I dont know much about Tagore, but I do know he was a progressive, champion of Indian independence, author of two national anthems (Bangladesh and India), friend of Ghandi and correspondent of Borges.

That sounds like I “know” a lot, but those are useless facts. All I really know of Tagore is the Gitanjali because its his only work I have read.

With my limited knowledge at hand, I cannot fathom how an atheist can appreciate the full depth of Tagore’s poetry. Im sure Bertrand Russel appreciated the Gitanjali as a great work of art when it was published but how could he have truly appreciated Tagore’s description of total surrender to God as a bride (representing Tagore, a heterosexual man) succumbing to her groom? An imagery we see in the Song of Songs, btw.

Perhaps instead of saying “how can an atheist appreciate Tagore”, I should written: “how can an atheist appreciate Tagore’s Gitanjali?” (Which I suspect Tagore himself would consider his greatest work?)

I feel the same way with religious art. Millions of tourists in Italy see Caravaggio’s “the denial of Peter”. Its easy for anyone who has grown out of youthful immaturity to appreciate the chiaroscuro, but how can a non-believer be moved in the way a believer is? The painting is more than the betrayal of a friend that anyone can understand - a believer (as a basic tenant of Christianity) holds that personal sin is recreating the betrayal of Peter. That is, a believer sees himself in Peter denying Jesus.

Not all “religious” art, mind you. Michaelangeo’s Il Davide is a good looking naked chap holding a slingshot.

EDIT: As a Catholic, I understand the Hindu Tagore, or muslim Sufis far better than atheists. Or, rather, we understand each other; we understand the difficulties of a faith journey.

Is it still blocked for you? I'm on ACT broadband and the site is available to me, but i think Jio is generally more restrictive.

(For anyone reading from outside India, yes, the government blocks a lot of websites, different internet providers seem to implement different lists, and nobody afaik knows what the actual official list is - or maybe there isn't one, just general instructions from the government about what sort of websites to block, hence the variance.)

Of the many people who have told me that they have had COVID already, none have donated blood and received a free antibody test. I donated blood three times between the start of the pandemic and getting the first vaccine. I got three free antibody tests.

Most of the unvaccinated that I talk to who claim to have had COVID but won't give blood say they are scared of needles. So it makes sense they are scared of getting the vaccine.
> The amount of biological sexes aren’t even close to two. There’s XXY… XYY… XXX…

These are not sexes, these are chromosomal configurations.

Sex refers to the structure and purpose of the reproductive system, and ultimately the type of gamete (egg or sperm) this system is intended to produce. There's variation within each of the two sex classes, but there are indeed only two of them - discovery of a third type of gamete in humans would be quite the biological revelation!

> Nor is anybody arguing about “sexes” really the argument revolves around gender rather than biological sex.

The "sex is a spectrum" and "there are more than two sexes in humans" arguments are ones often put forward in debates about gender. Usually to defend the idea of 'sex reassignment surgery' being a process that actually changes someone's sex. Rather than a cosmetic procedure intended to alleviate psychological distress.

I can't believe people are downvoting your post. If they want to influence someone, understanding them is how to start. Saying "I'm right, you're wrong" provokes resistance.

The easiest way to make a lot more money…

Get a job making 120-180 but 4 days a week. It is possible to do this. Make sure it is not an exciting company, but rather a corporate, slow moving one.

Now you can pick up a contract making 100+ per hour. 15-20 hours a week.

Do 4 hours of the main job. Do 4 hours of the freelance work.

You’ll easily be making 250k.

Another thing to note, as a developer you can solve a problem in 1 hour that may take others 4,5, or 10. At your full time job, schedule your work and spread out when you complete tasks.

I’ve found this is a solid way to make a lot of money 200-300k, at non FAANG, and I have been able to fit it all into 4 days every week. I also work less than 40 hours on average. I’m not affiliated with it, but there is a site called overemployed with more tips on doing this.

So there is a change in the ratio of words used in print between the 1850s and the 2020s. This happens in English and Spanish (i'm assuming this is really an American centric discussion, as the paper says this, but the review doesn't mention America).

There seem to be many possible reasons for this which aren't mentioned in the analysis. What percentage of the population were literate in 1950? What class of people were the printed material aimed at? I would imagine that the introduction of cheap effectively disposable books and magazines from the 1940s onwards, and the massive social changes which have lead to the vast majority of people having the education and spare time to read if they choose to will have totally skewed any analysis on the printed text.

Even taking a single source (the NYT) will not account for changes in readership. There's an attempt to chase market share when competing with other news sources, with editors intentionally changing the tone and material they include to attempt to capture market share.

Anyhow, an interesting idea, not convinced the analysis is strong enough to remove what I think of as more likely sources of the change in language.
There is a huge difference in substantiality there that I rarely see addressed.

When you consume an opinion, expert or otherwise, you are consuming a mere symbol, something of relatively miniscule substance.
