The problem is that your manager was not there; you were interacting with the wrong level!

The issues with the project that you were chewed out for were actually issues between the boss and your manager.

I'm guessing that planning of this task went on between your boss and your manager. Your manager made some promises about delivery that were unrealistic. Possibly, there had been an earlier (totally unrealistic) deadline for the project that you don't even know about that your manager initially promised, and that the boss still has engraved in his mind as something that should have been stuck to.

Your manager possibly bailed out of this meeting on purpose, using the fire fighting as an excuse, to expose you to the proverbial shit she has to deal with at the management level.

> I have no clue what happened in that meeting and I haven't heard anything about it from either of them since.

But you can probably guess. The boss likely reiterated all the same stuff, and your manager realized that you heard all of it, and that it was unfair, since some of the problems were her fault: everything from the code suggestions that you followed, to unrealistic promises that didn't even have anything to do with you.

Maybe your manager didn't do anything on purpose, but as a general rule, never discount that. It happens that managers will take credit for everything that goes right, and use the people under them as scapegoats to blame when things don't go right. Plus do other things like make adjustments to information they think you don't know. They might promise to the higher boss that something get done by end of December, but tell you that the deadline is end of November. That sort of thing.

For that reason, it would behoove you to establish rapport with your manager's manager. Do not allow your manager to be an entirely opaque proxy between you and the rest of the organization, and your only source of information.
I think Vietnam is interesting since it is the same single party Communist country that we lost to, graduated to state capital system like they all do, has authoritative control over all facets of life and especially dissidents, but doesnt trigger anyone in my circles, doesnt appear in my news negatively, and is seen as a travel destination.

Kinda funny is that it really just means they are irrelevant as a competitor or market, and that none of us really care about governing systems or really care about imagining everyone is a victim because they lack self determination for their country, only competitors.
People forget that there are many axes of the political compass. I think political scholars count over a dozen. Who knows how many there are, but it's definitely not a simple linear left/right dichotomy. One other important axis in this context is the authoritarian/democratic dichotomy. We know that the left/authoritarian (Soviets) quadrant of this space doesn't work, just as we know the right/authoritarian (Nazis) quadrant doesn't work.

We have evidence in America that the right/democratic quadrant kind of works -- it can produce great prosperity, but there can be a lot of sadness still (Jim Crow). At least there are mechanisms to fix it internally. It can get better (Civil Rights Act) but it can also get worse; we are finding now that if the Overton window moves too far to the right, there seems to be a tendency for America to become more authoritarian. We don't really know what going too far left looks like in America (probably the same IMO) because it's never even come close to happening; despite all the hysteric labeling of Democrats as Communists, they are really more liberal than left. There is no mainstream leftist representation in the US Federal Government, not even Bernie or AOC (the Green New Deal is written squarely within the framework of capitalism).

There are a lot of people out there saying that the left/democratic quadrant looks attractive, but they are shouted down by people who say that we can't ever try that, because look at what the left/authoritarian quadrant did in the past. People who are here in this thread right now. They are very vigorous about this claim, possibly because they lived under such left/authoritarian regimes. But I think that's a big mistake to conflate left/authoritarian with left/democratic, and it leaves us at a suboptimal local maxima as a society.

People often argue that it's a short trip from left/democratic to left/authoritarian, and that may be true. But it's also a short trip from right/democratic to right/authoritarian, and that's where we are right now as a nation. On this day, January 6, we as Americans should be more aware of that than ever. But that doesn't mean we can't try new things, and we shouldn't be held back from improving the future by the failures of the past.
When I was there, some Cubans offered us a lobster meal. Some fisherman had brought them in, and of course they knew the tourists could pay for it. So since this seemed to be illegal, they arranged for us to drive to their house, and then immediately boarded up the garage so our car wasn't visible from the street.

Inside we got the lobsters as promised, maybe the only good food we had apart from the resorts. It came with some extremely stringy mangoes that I don't want to try again.

They also had friends come over to offer cigars and those peculiar Cuban shirts, I think taken from a factory. At least that was their story.

On the other side, they seemed to have a desire to buy clothes, in particular sports clothes like basketball tops. We didn't have that with us but we were told they'd swap the cigars for a top easily. Even just a shirt like you might wear for working in the City would fetch a lot of cigars, apparently.
I'd change that last sentence to "I will work with my manager to address these issues right away." The meeting with the three of them should have never happened. The direct manager should have been raising these issues along the way. It doesn't help that it sounds like the direct manager is a weasel. Couldn't attend the meeting because of putting out fires? Please.
It’s a huge reason why food is relatively cheap in most of the EU, I believe.
The point of a subway is that the people who want to take a subway take the subway, freeing space for other people. This solution has the high construction cost of a subway, no cheaper running cost than a BRT solution, and has less throughput than either. Also, those flaws (except maybe luggage) aren't a fault of subways themselves, and could also apply to any competitors copying Tesla.

I don't think the Tesla tunnel has any benefit over any other system (it's basically a worse airport people mover). But I think Elon is thinking 3 steps ahead towards his Vegas Loop, an idea that while still a bit too handwavey for me makes more sense. It's basically a road system underground, but fully automated. I'm still iffy on how I like the idea, but it's clear that this is Musk's vision, and the tunnel is perhaps a small path towards that.
What information do you feel can be communicated and understood with that moniker that is not served by Autism Spectrum? And why do you feel those distinctions (if any) merit a wholly distinct diagnosis?
Relax, I'm not American and the place is full of tourists and happy locals(not all, but it's fine. In which country everyone is happy?).

On the bright side, I never went to Saudi Arabia. I really don't like murderous regimes, especially those who suppress and kill journalists and get away with it because all US presidents want to sell them weapons and stuff.
Who's saying "purely?" Tools help. They don't solve things on their own, but they do help.

Oppressive governments also use tools, like surveillance equipment and weapons. Nobody makes snide remarks about their dependence on technical solutions.
Sounds like a bad mentor. You may need to cut your losses. It's possible your interpretation of your progress is not accurate compared to expectations, but that does not mean anyone should interact with you the way you are suggesting your dude did. Software development is hard and a good boss will understand that and help you grow, not belittle you.
fork() is rarely ideal, unless followed by exec() to launch another processes. That copy-on-write thing often wastes too much physical memory. I think threads are usually better, the shared memory allows to marshal large volumes of data without making copies.

I like poll() much better than signals. Signals are too limiting, and too arcane. It's much easier to use poll() and dispatch things manually based on the signaled handles, at least there's a guarantee your code won't be interrupted by another event.

Pretty much all modern kernel things are compatible with poll. There's eventfd() which acts as an event or semaphore, message queues (but not the ones from the article, better ones, created with mq_open not msgget), Unix domain sockets for cross-process messaging. There's more, poll() can track termination of processes (see pidfd_open), page flip events in a GPU with DRM, consumed or available video/audio samples with V4L2 or ALSA.
And this is exactly why I built my "Hack the Planet" website. http://dragons-tech.blogspot.com/2021/07/subscribe-to-newsle...

HTP is an internal project for the company I work for, but it could be spun up to match any topic. I called it "Planet" in honour of the old Planet software which I really miss.

The big issue I see with feeds is that you are forced to accept whatever is generated from the feeds. HTP, although it reads all the feeds, checks to see if the feed matches certain requisites before displaying it. So personal blogs (like mine) won't be included in the end result if I'm just talking about my breakfast and the cat. But it I mention something that is topical, then it will. It's an additional layer of processing that keeps everything relevant.

Add to that the ability to pick out trends and themes and allows you to focus on just those topics of interest and it starts to get really useful. In fact the Internal site was the primary source of news and details for the PrintNightmare and Log4j issues.

While Deep got all the hype, it seems that a lot of people realized that other forms of machine learning are better for most applications.

I don't know about this ART thing though, never heard of it.
While maybe your boss could've used some more empathy, there are many good learnings here that I struggle myself with:

- communicate your progress more often. The status of the project should never be a surprise, especially when things are not going perfectly well. Write it down, send slack updates, be proactive in communication.

- being proactive includes asking for feedback and for help when needed.

- avoid doing with the goal of being praised. You know when you're doing well, you know when you're learning. That's all that matters really. Especially in your first job. Your goal should be self-reliance.

- avoid attaching your sense of self worth to the code you write. You'll write great and shit code. That doesn't reflect on who you are. You'll be horrified at the code you wrote 2 years ago, but you will also be proud of how far you got.

- you are good enough

Take it easy my friend. If the goal of mountain climbing was to get to the top then people would summit the Everest on a helicopter. Enjoy every step of the ascent instead. Slow down and enjoy the view sometimes.

And fuck your boss.
Illicit activity is the only value add to cryptocurrency.
I wouldn't call that greed and stupidity of the legal platforms. Netflix would probably have every piece of content on their site if owners would license it to them at a reasonable fee.
Unless it’s patentable, there’s no economic incentive for any one farmer or farm conglomerate to invest in this research. It would require government or non-profit research. And in a world of scarce resources, funding research on a luxury food item would strike many as a waste of taxes or philanthropic funds.

(I’m not saying it’s wasteful, learning the secrets of truffle reproduction could unlock a new branch of scientific study. Just explaining why this is.)
The carbon in the steel is a tiny fraction of the carbon used to make coke which fuels the process.

This is similar to plastics. Sure, plastics use petroleum. However, if we quit burning petroleum for cars, suddenly we have 100+ years of petroleum reserves for plastics.
Time to start looking for the next gig. That boss is unsuitable for management. Lacking emotional intelligence, willingness to mentor, and so forth.

I've never successfully managed upwards, never have been able to turn situations like yours around. I've had jobs that I really liked, so tried really hard to make things work.

It was never worthwhile. I always regretted the effort.

The good bosses I've had made all the difference. And why I happily stayed in gigs, despite other offers, despite red hot job markets, despite more interesting work.

Life's too short. Don't stress the losers any longer than it takes to get away.
The US will never "drop the dollar" while it continues to exist as a nation. Why would the US government allow a system they don't control to run their economy?

A blockchain based "e-dollar" is certainly possible, but Bitcoin will forever be a hugely wasteful online casino.
I use Slack like this for various notifications. I just setup a new Slack instance and created channels for each notification area (smart home, media server, etc). Now all the software in those various areas can send messages (via webhook) and I can set the alert preferences per channel. Makes it easy to quickly look at Slack and know things are running fine.

I also have a #critical channel anything can post to that always has alerts enabled on my phone so I don't miss anything important.

It actually works pretty well and costs nothing.
In fairness, using different pronouns for different genders doesn't make a lot of sense in the first place.
The difficulty bomb exists to make evolving the protocol by forking it smoother, since there's no practical way to keep using the 'original chain' indefinitely (TBH I think this is one of the better ideas in etherium after seeing all the drama around bitcoin hardforks). It can be effectively put off indefinitely while still staying on PoW by just forking to a version of the protocol which the same but with a later difficulty bomb, and indeed this has already been done multiple times. The current plan as stated by the foundation is to not extend it again (at least officially: miners could start their own fork if they wanted but it would be up to the market to decide which one is worth anything), but they can postpone it again.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why legislation needs to be fully read and debated in Congress instead of hidden deep inside 6000-page-long "omnibus" porkfests that pass in the middle of the night. (Seriously, look at how many of these monstrosities pass after midnight. It's really frightening what happens in DC after the witching hour...)
I think one of the key contexts here is being forgotten:

These are all internal messages. Someone cannot use our system to text random people. It's literally one person seeing them. We're a local service company. We're not SAAS or something like that. It's just people messaging us "Hey can you guys come Thursday?"

This would be like if you signed up for a VOIP provider for your business phones and they suspended your account because someone sent you a phishing text message.
Being downvoted for wanting job adverts to have salaries posted? Da fuq?
Electrolytic hydrogen projects for this purpose are popping up now.

"Scatec partners with Fertiglobe and the Sovereign Fund of Egypt to develop green hydrogen as feedstock for ammonia production in Egypt"

https://scatec.com/2021/10/14/scatec-partners-with-fertiglob...

In 1960 Egypt built a large electrolytic hydrogen plant powered by hydroelectricity from the Aswan Dam, also for making fertilizer. Now renewable electricity from other sources is reviving electricity-to-ammonia systems.

In energy terms, the [fertilizer] industry is dominated by the Kima plant at Aswan which at full production would use 7.6 x 10^15 joules of energy per annum to produce 112,000 tonnes of nitrogen as prilled calcium ammonium nitrate. The plant was built in 1960 to utilize the spare hydropower available from the Aswan Dam to produce hydrogen by electrolysis for ammonia manufacture. The plant has operated successfully since its inception and is currently one of the largest plants in the country.

From U.S. Department of Energy report, "An Assessment of the Energy Requirements and Selected Options Facing Major Consumers Within the Eyptian Industrial and Agricultural Sectors", 1978

https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/5610349

One interesting side effect of these electrolytic hydrogen projects may be cheaper heavy water (deuterated water) and deuterium. The Norwegian heavy water plant that was famously sabotaged during World War II [1] was primarily a fertilizer plant that made electrolytic hydrogen using hydroelectricity. Electrolysis concentrates deuterium in the water left behind in the production cells, due to ordinary light hydrogen being liberated from water faster (kinetic isotope effect). Electrolysis is a very expensive way to make heavy water alone, but if you need to electrolyze a lot of water for hydrogen anyway, heavy water can be a much lower cost co-product.

I thought by the nature of the forum submissions that it was essentially any STEM-related links or posts would be applicable. Geological Engineers are still considered STEM.

I thought the same thing, but I like to fact check
> Do not put work into things that may or may not be needed.

Hindsight is 20/20.

> You need to communicate, build relationships, and get feedback from many people in the organization. One of those people is your manager's manager.

This is valid advice, but the manager/colleague/etc's feedback has to be useful. In that regard, OP's manager's manager failed.
But if you know that the current company cannot pay like the other company you are interviewing for, or that in this new company the future salary outlook is much better, why bother asking if they can pay you more?

In the work life, one needs to be strategic; it appears to me that most people on here who are commenting somewhat negatively about people giving 2-week notice and nothing else have never been laid off or fired or somewhat "mistreated" by a company.

The way to be an excellent employee is to always deliver work to the best of one's capabilities and give 2-week notice before leaving.
In one company I worked for, somebody gave a 2-week notice and was let go immediately. It is not unheard of, and most legacy companies could not care less about a possible PR problem.
Those legacy companies live in a galaxy that is far away from the one inhabited by start-ups and similar good PR-dependent companies, they are populated mostly by old dinosaurs that recruit heavily among the not-too-brilliant technical people.
Oh, I agree with you about the W126. I sold ours to a friend, replacing it with the W210. The most compelling difference was safety — the W210 wagon has 11 airbags, while the W126 has only 1. Other than that, though, damn, it’s a magnificent-looking vehicle, and was a real joy to drive.
My last chat bot wanted to look up my account information prior to connecting me to the human representative. I gave it the account number, it looked it up. First question from the human: "What is your account number?" Immense waste of time and money.
With a person just out of college, I would say if they have this many complaints then they totally lack management skills.

If you do not get an apology, then I would leave as they will just damage you more.

What the manager boss did was wholly uncalled for. I recommend sending the link to this discussion to his boss.

Your manager and boss may be very technically smart, but like many people who are technical, they need a lot more education in management. I have been, in the past, as bad as your manager and their boss. But I have learned to be better.
It depends on what kind of geek you are. "The Ants" is perhaps my favourite non-fiction book of all time - at the time it was written it was a fair account of the total sum of human knowledge of ants. It's beautifully written and incredibly complete, and although it's now a bit dated, it's still the best reference to ants if you're interested in them. For a broader summary of Wilson's intellectual project I recommend "Consilience" - a wonderful synthesis of almost all his ethical and scientific interests.
The submitted title:

Female patients of male surgeons experience worse health outcomes

The actual title of the article:

Association of Surgeon-Patient Sex Concordance With Postoperative Outcomes

The actual TLDR from the piece itself:

This study found that sex discordance between surgeons and patients (particularly male surgeons and female patients) may contribute to worse surgical outcomes.

this, it is hard to negotiate with companies where you have no info on what they are paying others at your level
That's a very cool implementation, I also like the idea of replaying GPX tracks this way!

Some time ago I made an app (Sun Locator) that has a similar feature (see here for a short demo: http://www.sunlocator.com/sunlocatorwebsite2_files/topo.gif). But your approach is definitely more elegant.
Ah sorry was looking with a UK perspective - the USA really doesn't want the little people accumulating capital does it.
