I mean, it is years of work, speaking from experience. I make a similar tool (but for Node.js/Vue, if you're not a fan of Django), and it took around two years to get it to where it is, with user account creation/management, subscriptions, teams, admin dashboard, scripting, etc. I'm definitely not charging as much as Bullet Train, but also I feel fully justified in charging instead of open sourcing it. It's been my sole serious side-project for years now after all.

The problem for trials of stuff like this, is that you have no real way of enforcing it. You just have to hope that trialers feel like doing the right thing and paying if they continue to use it, because trying to recover a few hundred dollars through legal means is just not worth the time and money you'd have to spend.

In the end, I settled on a 60-day money-back guarantee, and I've already issued a few already, to folks who thought it had a feature it didn't yet, or ended up not pursuing their idea, etc, so it seems to work pretty well.
I think it's performance improvement plan, but that's a guess
I think they actually run the same code (!) but the Saturn version has different/better graphics iirc.
Wish it were as simple - ultimately having a name-constrained and publicly-trusted CA is the same as having any publicly-trusted CA and comes with a ton of wonderful burdens like audits.

You're essentially running a public CA at that point, and that isn't easy.
A building to last a thousand years, but it has no eaves at all?

Good luck with that. The building might last, but only if each successive owners can afford all the maintenance costs of replacing windows, flashings, sidings, sealants, etc, and all the other exterior materials that will rot quickly due to no eaves to protect them.
Your story is very similar to mine. It's not that the job itself was grueling by most standards, but the little work that was involved was unreasonably difficult because so many wrong things were done and no one was interested in solving systemic issues. Tasks that should have been very simple were monumental because of colossally bad decisions. I of course had some time to address a few long standing issues, but like at most companies management didn't see the value in scheduling these fixes in relation to features they wanted churned out, so most of that just got put on the sidelines. This company's solution to inefficiencies was to hire more programmers. Of course that's not how management sees it; when the business is booming, hiring lots of people is just seen as a necessary evil that doesn't need to be tied to specific needs.

I realized that life was too short to deal with that shit for years, so I walked. In another time, I might have put up with it because there'd be people to see and things to do. Now with my usual conventions and meetups being indefinitely closed, paranoid friends and family members, and some challenges with traveling, I don't have the motivation to put up with corporate BS anymore.
I was hacked one single time in my entire 25 year long career. Someone hacked a bind server I was running and installed some sort of bot node. That was in the 90’ies.

I'm pointing out your reasoning is unfounded non sequitur. Physical property does indeed revert to public domain, hence it does not make sense to add requisites for release of intellectual restrictions. Requiring public funding for only-temporarily-private IP would make things more inconsistent.

80 mg/day aspirin generally has been shown to be safe long term, though it does increase irritation of the stomach. Maybe taking it with food will help that.

I would absolutely NOT do the same with ibuprofen or any other NSAID. All other NSAIDs but aspirin have been shown to reduce blood vessel elasticity after habitual use. Adopting any med for regular use is not something to take lightly.

"Ibuprofen, aspirin, and COX-2s all belong to the class of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Most of them boost blood pressure and can counteract the effect of some blood-pressure drugs. They can also impair blood vessels' ability to relax and may stimulate the growth of smooth muscle cells inside arteries. All these changes can contribute to the artery-clogging process known as atherosclerosis."

This, and it's mostly a death sentence. If you're on a PIP the odds you survive it are low, used mostly to manage people into quitting.
The article mentions aggressive delivery dates, conflicting goals between different departments that get in the way of career progression, and massive amounts of stress as being 'normal' at Amazon.

And we already know that Amazon exploits and over-exerts their employees in other divisions, like warehouse.

At what point do we say enough is enough? Amazon warehouse employees are already pushing for better working conditions through Unions. When will we finally realize that Amazon is equally over-working everyone and join that solidarity effort so that everyone's working environment becomes better? Quitting doesn't change anything, we can see they just rehire and perpetuate bad culture. Even the author of the article says just that; he was hired to replace someone.

If nothing changes, your friends and colleagues (and your future children if they do engineering) will all still suffer at the hands of Amazon. And believe me, their work culture will bleed out to other companies. I've seen it.
Cool. Express yourself freely, I'll pay a couple hundred folks under the table to organically insert into conversations some anecdotes about how errantmind loves kicking puppies/harasses his co-workers/caused {scandal of the week}, and we'll let the free market of ideas decide between the opposing viewpoints.
It also depends what do you do to "counteract disinformation". Do you censor? Or do you improve your side of the story? Would that be bad?

Good point, but often you can solve this by setting log levels appropriately. Usually something like "DEBUG for my own modules/packages, WARN for 3rd party libs or frameworks, TRACE for that particular class I'm currently debugging" gives you back your sanity.

> - There are no stable LVFS firmware upgrades for Linux yet and some users also report overwritten bootloaders after upgrading. Linux compatibility is definitely not there yet.

At the moment, you can't upgrade BIOS on Linux systems without using Windows which is a major shortcoming. No LVFS support is a big miss right now for Linux users
> I believe the commenter was implying that their policy takes retention into account, and amazon simply doesn't value retaining employees

I think there's some Bezos quote about people being lazy and it being easier to extract labor from fresh hires trying to prove themselves.

This is not at all fullstack to me.

Imho; a fullstack developer is a person who can develop all pieces of an application (or game, or whatever) and put it in production, maintain it, improve it.

I.e. design the database or other persistence, implement the layers that manages the data, the business logic and the user interface.

It can be very different from different applications, of course, since some may not have an ui, or a persistence requirement.

It is a person who not only knows how to write code, but also understands how code communicates with services and humans.

A fullstack developer understands OS and computing in general.

When I build teams, I like to have a mix of fullstack, frontend and backend developers because the experts (i.e specialized Devs) often handle the nitty gritty details of front- or backend, whereas the fullstack glues together the front-, back- and ops.

Usually fullstackers are the kind of people who say "oh, interesting problem, let's explore" rather than "I don't know this technology, I am a (Fe|be) developer.

You will rarely hear a full stack developer say "I'm unable to continue, because I have to wait for the (dba|integration team|ops team)". They will solve their problems and often has enough experience to do it well.
At least in Western law, a company a legal entity, but that is just me being pendantic. More importantly, a company to me is something which has employees and is at least somewhat able to sustain them, even only by burning money. So I would not even count self-employment as having a company, only in the strictly legal sense. To me, you literally need company to have a company.

Edit: Still congratulations to you and thank you for sharing!
> an astronaut on the ISS with 20/20 vision could potentially detect objects that are 112 m or greater in all dimensions. However, since this would be at the absolute limit of the resolution, objects on the order of 100 m would appear as unidentifiable specks, if not rendered invisible due to other factors, such as atmospheric conditions or poor contrast. For readability of text from the ISS, using the same trigonometric principles and a recommended character size of about 18 arcminutes,[23] or about 5,000 μrad, each letter would need to be about 2 km (1.3 mi) in size for clear legibility in good conditions.
What is the advantage? Does it make some things easier that are very hard to do in languages / frameworks traditionally used to build app/webapp GUIs?
I'd agree more with your distinction if he was randomly happening upon crimes and reporting them instead of proactively seeking them out.

The fact that UK police are asking road users to do this makes it worse, and less advisable to do, not better/more.
Well if they have no symptoms then they aren't really diseases, right?

And there are a thousand species of varmint that inhabit our body without helping or hurting anyway.

Individual homeowners will never be able to comply with Equal Opportunity laws properly because of inherent bias and a lack of accountability in business transactions involving AirBNB as a 3rd party...

One could easily argue that allowing access to personal belongings (Their Home) means that they have a right to choose who enters their home on an individual basis, but this does not adhere to housing rental laws in the US.

This is specifically why laws were created based on equal housing opportunity, but now the rules are being carelessly bent by lawmakers (because new business generates new local tourism and revenue streams) with potentially disastrous consequences.

As a minority myself, I'd much rather rent from someone who doesn't discriminate, or simply rent a hotel room, or even cancel a trip rather than to show up unexpectedly to a potentially hostile or unwelcoming environment. Changing names to initials is a small-minded attempt at solving a much more serious issue.

People who discriminate but still attempt to use AirBNB as a service should not be continually supported by the service, otherwise the company should hold accountability for their listings.
Its very sad how corporations evolve. I doubt the original founders would approve of such blatantly anti-competitive measures. Now its just run littered with typical career climbers, pleasing shareholders, doing whatever it takes in typical corporate human mass blob cult organism to preserve itself.

Stop stifling competition. Innovate and beat out the competition.
Thanks for saying that. "Give them money" may not be the most optimum solution, but it's nearly always the most practical. Not only is it least likely to lead to unwanted side effects, it's actually most likely to generate positives ones.

If you're allowed to decide how to spend your money, you're likely to do a lot of low-hanging-fruit stuff that you wouldn't otherwise, like fix that windy window frame. No governmental program can even come close to this efficiency - they'd just do a "thermal reabitation" on the whole building, which will be 50% better and 900000% more expensive.

The reason giving money works so well is that it is both very flexible, and uses a huge information advantage - each person knows their situation better than the government. It's not about gov being inefficient (tho they may be) it's that it's incapable in principle of approaching the efficiency of "give them money".
All you have to do is the give access to all data, all minute details and all the time. Britain seems to do that with Covid. Of course we ourselves have no time for those details. But then there appears a bunch of independent analyzers, and you learn with time that some are full shit and some are not, like John Cambdell. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxg
I've never thought of it from this angle at all, but suddenly everything starts making even more sense now. Thanks for posting this, because in countless threads and discussions on the topic, I haven't seen anyone mentioning it.
Well it will probably be some sort of hashing on the old fiber internet but at a fixed very low energy rate per message, and a bit higher energy rate for names (in a first come, first served manner with some sort of public/private key signed distributed database, just trying to not use the b-word here and with spam protection I haven't choosen yet) so far I'm concentrating on the hardware and radio hopping protocol to make sure it could scale at all, that combined with reputation: because the system is relaying your messages, you can be increasingly punished as you missbehave; which makes it hard to abuse productively. But as with all radio you will be able to disturb locally, if you have a better suggestion I'm all ears.
There are some pretty impressive online fabrication houses to look into that can help you work through manufacturing process options:
Fathom (fathommfg.com)
Stratasys (stratasysdirect.com)
Protolabs (protolabs.com)
ICO Mold (icomold.com)
Xometry (xometry.com)

If you want a DIY approach to producing parts you could think about casting polyurethane parts in Silicone RTV molds from a 3D printed buck. This is something you could do at home without much extra support hardware, maybe just a vacuum chamber. Check out Smooth-On (smooth-on.com).

You mentioned rotomolding which sounds like you are looking for large parts. Because of the high cost of rotomolding tooling I would recommend looking into fiberglass construction for dimensionally large short run parts. If you can find a local CNC shop you can have foam bucks machined and then take them to a fiberglasser to create a run of parts or one-offs.
DIY fiberglassing is also very possible on a reasonable budget.

For most molding processes you will need to get familiar with draft angles, part lines, minimum wall thickness, sprue placement, etc. These are things that will have an impact on your parts during the design phase.

Very generally speaking on manufacturing, it is good to get into the habit of defining your budget, how big the parts you want to make are, how many you need and what material you want them in. As you answer those questions the better fabrication methods for a part will become more obvious.

Final (and probably unpopular) piece of advice; I would stay away from buying a CNC machine or other large equipment until you know exactly what you need. If your goal is to make finished prototypes and products then it's usually better to spend your time understanding the various manufacturing methods vs learning to be a machine operator for a specific process.

Good luck!
Is this still available? I can see articles from 2013 about this feature (custom timelines), but I don't have this option in Tweetdeck.
Honestly, the framework was one of the better purchases I have made. There were definitely some Bluetooth hiccups, but all other functionality worked perfectly out of the box on Arch. The wiki included a few key tips.

One thing to note, is that I had a bad time with tlp. I would suggest using auto-cpufreq if you want better battery life.
Performance Improvement Plan. On paper, it's a program where management works with you to improve your weak points so you don't get fired. In practice, it's HR protecting the company by documenting reasons to fire you before they fire you.

It's rare (not unheard of, but rare) to work your way out of a PIP. In general, if you get put on a PIP, I would immediately start doing some soul-searching as to why I might be on the PIP and how I can improve AND I would start looking immediately for a new job.
What filter rules do you use for that? As a frequent Amazon customer I wouldn't want to accidentally filter things I want to receive.

My recruiter strategy has just been to reply with a direct "Hi <name>, No thank you." that doesn't leave room for foot-in-the-door.
This is true as well. I got an email offering me immigration support to move to Vancouver. I already live in Canada, have my entire life, and every job has also been in Canada.
> Tried switching but other teams insisted on a full interview loop before I could even see it that team would be a better fit.

That’s because they have no consistency in their hiring bar. I know multiple people who were contacted immediately by Amazon recruiters after failing an interview loop. “Hey, that other team says you suck but I bet you’re perfect for our team.” When you know other teams are happy to take your reject candidates, you can’t trust internal candidates any more than external ones.

In fairness, Microsoft has a bit of this. The further across the company you want to move, the more likely you’ll need to interview. But it seems within Amazon that there is no attempt at consistency.
The point of that exercise seems to me to make people implement binary search without having a solution they have learned by heart.

Yes, from that same link you can see that whoever controls the domain can revoke those certificates (by asking Let's Encrypt to revoke it). All you need is the certificate itself (which you can get from the transparency logs e.g. crt.sh), not the private key.
Its hard to grok you calling them "simple", then saying brilliant people fail them. One could define hard as "a thing that even brilliant people fail at".

For me, easy is something that a person of average skill in that domain can do and that the top 20ish% person in that domain can do with their eyes closed.

I have a masters in CS, I know all of the words and stuff in your essay. I have been programming python for a while. I would most definitely need to study up on graph algos, implementing sorting algos, dynamic programming, etc. Then refresh my big-O notation as well. Unless you are doing it everyday, this stuff ain't simple or easy to master to the level of being able to code it up during a 45 min online session.

I can easily see 2-3 weeks of full time studying for myself to even be minimally ready to code up a BFS search in python, as part of a larger problem, in python, in 45 minutes, while writing an example down, while writing a test case, while talking out loud.
Not to in any way put down the developers on this, because I realize this is a hard problem, but it's been "almost working" for roughly five years. I don't think we should hold our breath on it, sadly.
I would tell you you’re going to get the same problem regardless: this isn’t representative and due to scale can never capture the on the ground experience.

Amazon is the best and worst place I’ve worked.
> There has never been a time in all of human history where cities cordoned themselves off politically from the rural areas they rely on that did not end in rebellion, bloodshed, and/or collapse.

I guess you could call this true, but only in the sense that there has never been any system of any kind that didn't end in rebellion, bloodshed, and/or collapse.

The normal pattern historically is that the city's hinterlands are subject to the city's rule. You never see the hinterlands ruling the city.
For the most part limited liability is a private agreement between you and your creditors, not a get-out-of-jail-free pass to avoid any and all consequences when you cause deliberate or negligent harm to someone who never agreed to those terms. To be sure, there have been instances where the government shielded someone from liability unjustly or failed to "pierce the corporate veil" when doing so was arguably warranted. However, such cases are very much in the minority compared to instances where limited liability is used purely to protect personal assets from being seized to pay the corporation's debts in the event of a business failure or contractual dispute.
Here we're looking at an industry where the US used to be dominant. So it's not a question of "how did another country beat the US to this sort of industry despite having less money floating around than the US?" It's specifically "how did this industry leave the US and why is it non-trivial to rebuild some of it?"

I'm talking about the how of them becoming the best in the world, not arguing that they aren't the best now. As money for semiconductor manufacturing moved to overseas companies, initially driven by costs, those companies ended up with the money to invest in getting good at it.

But that money was directed there as a result of specific actions by people in the US. So yes, all the conversation about immediate-cost-focused decisions, and the difference in the labor costs, are relevant.

It's not "American exceptionalism" to be aware of this history, it's "American exceptionalism" that caused this and that drives the laissez faire attitude that there wouldn't be domestic impact like loss of expertise and reliance on overseas producer from a focus on immediate cost over all else. The idea that if we wanted to, we could simply build the industry back up. Because we're America! Same as all the rest of "it can't happen here" BS that people use to excuse ignoring various domestic issues.

--

To frame the labor cost issue a different way, let's look at what the reverse process, bringing that expertise back to the US, would look like: let's say tomorrow the US wanted to build up a domestic best-in-the-world alternative company. They'd have to hire a bunch of engineers! Even best-case, it would take those engineers quite a while to reproduce all the earned knowledge and expertise of TSMC's engineers. All the while you're gonna have to pay those engineers more than TSMC's engineers are making, because it's a more expensive labor market. And then even if they do produce equally high levels of output after a while, all those higher costs are going to put them at a competitive disadvantage. So if you want to be good at it domestically, and you live in a country with more competition for labor, you really have to commit to spending extra to do it. (Getting TSMC to build some plants domestically is a way of short-cutting the knowledge acquisition step, but it's just a small step towards really rebuilding the industry.)
