It’s easy to find articles on voter suppression efforts. This is particularly true in the South. There are lots of articles detailing these efforts. Here is one:

Ironically your response to my post aptly demonstrates the veracity of the essence of the point I made. Namely, it’s hard to have a civil discussion when the center of the politics of a nation have shifted too far right or too far left.
My advice is, do you work profitably not "right." Business cares about profit, so don't burn money (your salary) on stuff that won't make more money than is being spent. Not that you should ditch quality because quality affects profit but you have to find the way to make money for the company. I hope it works out for you because it sounds like you're good at your job and don't phone it in. That sometimes gets punished when it's not done profitably. For what it's worth, you are likely really hard to replace because the supply is so limited but if you like the job and want to stay then this is "fixable" (quotes because it's not really broken but you're not gonna win that argument with your boss).
yeah, 2016 he drew the latino vote back to 28 from 27 and then in 2020 he took it to 38. That's called winning the latino vote - just because Republicans have historically not gotten the majority is beside the point. We're talking about Trump, who did better than any other republican candidate (save for one of GWBush elections).

You don't pull minority votes over to republicans as a white nationalist, unless I'm missing something.
I start with ADIEU, personally.
Everyone learns differently, so find the way you learn best. If you learn best by doing, you should do side projects, and they don't need to be novel ideas. There are tons of lists of project ideas (e.g. https://austinhenley.com/blog/challengingprojects.html).

Also, improvement can come at an accelerated rate if you have a short feedback loop e.g. a mentor or another person to work on a project with you, as opposed to going solo. It also helps with motivation.

This is a great example - thank you. Rephrasing as a "you should have", it would read:

"You should have been able to finish this in 2-4 weeks, but it took you 6 months. What went wrong?"

That's actually useful feedback, I think. It highlights that the giver believes the recipient has abilities that exceed the demonstrated result.
Yes, but 60 days isn't a lot of time in a bad economy (2001, 2008, etc.).
> I would never discuss anything remotely politicisable on work systems

Seriously, what is with this trend? Why would anyone care so much about the opinions of the people in the massive corporation they work for? You're there to work – anything else is going to introduce an unnecessary variable.

For this guy in particular, you'd think that at some point whilst writing his 10k+ word screed, he might think "gee, this looks an awful lot like what that Damore guy wrote." In fact, it requires so much naiveté to think that a rage hungry mob of employees he's never met would not immediately dub this a "manifesto," that one must assume that his goal was to start this controversy. Otherwise, why post it? There are plenty of public forums where he could share his views and get the same reaction without also being fired.

Although I likely agree with much of what he wrote (I'm not reading all that), I have no sympathy for anyone who displays such a lack of judgement.

Perhaps the better question is why this internal forum exists at all. It used to be that everyone knew you don't talk politics at the workplace. Now that it's becoming more normalized (with a hefty selection bias for the orthodoxy), people think everyone gives a shit about their opinions. News flash: they don't. Those who pretend to care are only interested because they want to get angry as a form of self-validation of their moral superiority complex. The only way to defeat the mob is to starve them of attention. Eventually they'll hyperventilate on the fumes of their own bullshit, the pendulum will swing back, and we can all move on.

In other words, don't feed the trolls.
No. Just used a CD-R to transport medical images between two different implementations of the Cerner healthcare medical records system, because that was the easy way.
How much reality (problem space) you can compress in vector or matrix that's the key question.
In my experience an article about how to quit like a boss would involve making a ton of bad decisions, then jumping ship, using your "leadership experience" at the smoking crater you left behind as a way to get a higher paying position somewhere else. There may be a better way, but that's the only way I've ever seen a boss actually quit.

Nope. My MAM Gold and M-DISCs are going to live for a while yet. And people still buy CDs and DVDs. Sometimes it’s nice to own things instead of renting your life.
You may not like my advice, but it’s the truth.

1. you’re doing well enough. If it is a pattern your boss will mention it, if not it was just feedback. Maybe your boss was having a bad day, maybe you need to work harder, maybe you had some mistakes

2. Grow a thicker skin. Every single meeting with my boss I ask for harsh feedback. Every meeting with my teammates I tell them to lay it on me. Honesty, is what helps us grow.

3. No need to be mean, but if someone in my team is missing expectations I tell them so. I suggest ways to improve, say “hey; you really let me down here”. And we try to figure out how to improve. That’s how business works. Take the feedback and move on.

4. If you can’t move on, self reflect. Maybe you’re too sensitive. If you feel your manager was unprofessional, mention it. If you feel it’s just your feelings hurt, then recognize it as feedback and when you feel you improve, ask your manager if they saw said improvement. Make it a two way conversation.

5. People get impressions — you don’t change them by complaining. You change them by performing well.

I don’t claim they were his only supporters but he clearly targeted them and emboldened people to say/do things that they kept suppressed. I think historians will agree with my assessment. I could be wrong.
Driving is a very different problem space than conversation. There are plenty of existing humans who are great at holding a conversation and get into tons of car accidents; likewise there are plenty of great drivers who suck at talking. It's not the same skill set.
You need to be hand-assembling your machine code. You need to stop using code written by anyone else. You need to be punching in raw bytes to bootstrap an interactive forth environment. Writing your own interrupt handlers, task schedulers, and specialized allocators, bit-banging wire protocols as well as using DMA. You need to control your own computer.

Lots of good advice here.

I'd recommend going to AA meetings. AA has a vibrant network of people dedicated to not drinking meeting everyday all around the world. If you don't like the first meeting try a different one, they vary widely.

Find other indulgent drinks to enjoy, ginger beer is a fun one that is widely available.

Tell friends you "don't drink" once, if they need to be told more than once they aren't your friend.

Much of the physiological drive to drink is literally based on thirst, so keep yourself super hydrated at all times. Being hydrated also dilutes your stress hormone (cortisol).

Exercise more, if you stop chronic drinking provided you're otherwise healthy you should start to feel much more energetic in a few weeks. Use that energy to improve your body and mind with rigorous exercise. This will help you look better, feel better about yourself and gives you a reason not to drink. A hard workout gives a feeling really similar to drinking but entirely healthy and natural. The more you look like a serious fit athlete the more people will easily accept it when you pass on drinks.

Crossfit gyms are a great place to make friends with healthier people.

Good luck!

It helped that Hillary was a fairly unpopular candidate. That didn't lose her anyone that was going to vote Democrat no matter what. But that's in contrast to Trump, also an unpopular candidate with the GOP establishment, but again he'd get the votes of most people who were going to vote no matter what, and his 300+ firebrand rallies were a style that attracted many new voters. Though yes-- media coverage of every controversial statement made probably helped as well.
> There’s a concerted effort by world leaders to demonize the unvaccinated.

There is a lot a play in The Philippines. First off this goes back to the beginning of his term, and an inquiry into Denguevax which they used to berate the previous President. This forced a lot of people to fear vaccines. Many people are not vaccinated against even the most common illnesses such as Measles, TB etc. Some because they refused to be (religion playing a part) and some because there just aren't the resources.

Then there was issues with supply of vaccines, which made the leadership look incompetent. They had this same line when they could not even acquire vaccines, that they would punish people who did not get vaccinated.

This is his final term with elections this year, and he is facing investigation by the ICC. He is a hardliner who took power, and 1000s if not 10s of 1000s of people died in a drug war which he is clearly a provocateur of. If the opposition gets in, he will likely end up in the Hague, so he needs political support and the country loves hardliners.

The list goes on from there, to corruption in the government health care department, potential corruption in the supply of PPE and other equipment, coming last in many lists of response performance in dealing with covid etc etc.

If it was non-vaccinated people it would be the Church, drug addicts, foreigners or whatever. This isn't demonization of the unvaccinated, it is an Authoritarian response to being a bad situation.

Back during the beginning of the pandemic, no one would have thought it would be framed as xenophobia had the US closed it's borders by restricting incoming international flights from Wuhan China but some policymakers got it in their heads that that was the case. As an Asian myself, that would've been the simplest of preventative measures that they could have done.
Cuba gives free healthcare to its people and runs the largest medical school in the world [1] for free, with the explicit purpose of training foreign doctors so they can help their underprivileged communities.

Meanwhile, in the US, the richest country in the world, people are dying because they can't afford life-saving insulin. [2]

Life expectancy is higher in Cuba than the US! [3]

It's not all black and white. Every country does good things and bad things. You just choose to ignore the bad things one country does and solely focus on them for another one.

Radical openness – Say things that others hate
This. You manager was expecting negative feedback and left you holding the bag. She should know that you know, and that you were a good sport this time, and that going forward you would really appreciate to be on the same page. Otherwise it's a toxic environment and a huge red flag.
I'm pretty sure that if there was an interview for my position, they'd ask for a lot of things that I can't do. What your boss thinks are mandatory skills and what's actually needed to do a good job is usually pretty different. Especially I'd expect that for a job opening they'd require "Agile" when in reality they need "flexible".

> It should read: "How Your Boss Would Like You to Quit"

Touché, yes there's some truth to this. Many of the points in the post were reflections on people leaving my team as I have an order of magnitude more examples of that than me leaving a team. If you're implying there's some kind of zero-sum thing going on here though, I disagree: it can be good for both you and your boss.

> I wonder what their world view is…

I don't quite follow this paragraph, could you rephrase?

> Leaving the team at short notice is unethical?

Ah, no – this is in the "Don’t sabotage, it’s a dick move" section: it's sabotage which is unethical.
When the price of housing goes up, homelessness goes up.

Now we have a multifaceted problem for sure. The people who own homes don't want their homes losing value. We need to build new homes without destroying the value of the older homes.

_THAT_ is the problem. A neighborhood that currently is filled with $700k to $2mm homes attracts a certain clientele. Filling it up with a trailer park is going to be rejected by the local boards / NIMBYism.

For good measure. I personally wouldn't want my $1mm investment to go down the drain to fix the housing issue.

--------------

But that doesn't change the fundamental problem at play here. The price of current homes is too high, and that's largely because the bay area doesn't have enough homes. Either now, nor being built.

> To think Oakland, a far less wealthy city, could merely build its way out of the current problem using public funds and without displacing anybody is even less realistic, to say the least.

A trailer park is cheap as hell. The issue isn't about building it. Its about the NIMBYism revolving around home prices, and how that kind of addition would lower the value of properties.

I'm not demonizing NIMBYism. I understand it. But you gotta understand that political issue as well to see how it affects the greater region.
This is really incredible. You are on one end of the spectrum by being hardworking and motivated, while I on the other end of the spectrum by being lazy and unmotivated. While both being misjudged.

I started last year, and since then I was constantly late to work, left home early, and always complained about design, tasks and so on. Took ages to understand code written by others and just thought it's over-engineered when it's clearly just my lack of skill. Moreover, the deadline and planned launch is delayed too; I firmly believe this is my fault. Yet, my boss thinks I worked really hard, and the delay is not related to me. I told him this is not the case but he says just work hard this year while giving me a good performance review.

I'm completely blown and with the shame and guilt I'm feeling, the way I proceed is to work hard and actually contribute to the project. If I was in your case, I would tell them the truth of which you did work hard with so much care. I'm afraid if you don't do this immediately it would end up as a trauma and will stay in your head for a long time.
This is miss allocation of resources, complaining about it is the least and only I can do.
That's because pretty much all of their promotional content is short TikTok videos.
Apparently they do not have such an obligation - after all, CSTO refused to help Armenia in the recent Azerbaijan-Armenia war, so from that perspective it's a bit surprising now CSTO including Armenia itself seems to consider that it's an obligation given that this case is obviously much less applicable than that war.
I'll never get over the TDS in the tech community. All of these lengthy comments and the only specific examples of racism people can come up with are policies shared by many many many politicians, most of whom I've never heard called racist.
Not really an option; when the government wants something they’re basically your enemy. Who cares if China knows everything about me, they can’t get to me, whereas the USA government just has to issue some legal threat and I can’t stop it. China isn’t my enemy and can’t do shit to me. The USA gov might be someday.

How to Create an Invoice Correctly
(1) I don't think you can reliably say after the first suck project. Some people are a bit slow at picking up new things, but become very productive after a while.

(2) Others pick things up super quickly, but never become super productive as the first group.

And of course lots of variations of people that don't fit neatly into either group.

I am in group (2) I think, but in my experience you really want people that become strong experts after a while. They are the ones I have seen do the best over the long term.
You are really good at explaining these things.

Very often people say things that I know are incorrect and actually sound quite stupid, but then I am unable to articulate why. I was very surprised at the number of incorrect negative responses from people to this post, who seemed to grab onto details and then use them to twist reality.

How did you learn to dissect these arguments and then clearly refute them?

Also, I have never heard "distinction without difference" before, but it is a common way that people twist reality. Did you study logical fallacies? Or read a good book on how to deal with them?

We appear to be living in alternate realities and each be having a different conversation. Perhaps the time streams crossed or something.
Sex and gender are different things. Neither is easily defined in a strict unambiguous manner, despite what we might be taught in high school biology.

To be clear, this isn’t a political view point, it’s a scientific view point, there’s no singularly accepted way of defining sex in human. Unfortunately nature has this amazing ability to conjure up exceptions to every seemingly reasonable definition of male/female, and it doesn’t give two shits about our desire to arrange the world into neat little categories.

It's true that most people fit into binary, but I don't really see how that's relevant.

1) If we assume that it's essential to genderize pronouns, it doesn't really matter what the majority fits into because existence of other options does not influence that majority at all. The only case where it matters is when someone doesn't fit. The utility remains unaffected (in fact, it actually is increased because of better expressivity).

2) If we assume that it's not necessary to genderize pronouns, then it may be argued that we're losing some information that the vast majority of people was comfortably fitting into - but I don't really understand why do we actually need that information. When I refer to other people, it's extremely rare that I do it in a context that requires me to mention their gender identity (or even what do they have between their legs). In those rare cases where it's actually relevant, I wouldn't mind having to express it explicitly at all, so overall the utility seems dubious.
As a manager, I have learned that when projects are delayed, 9/10 it is due to bad management (of either the direct manager or the project manager).

Conditional of course that the developer has a sufficient amount of skills and is motivated, which you seem to be.

In my early experiences as a manager, I was frustrated when projects where not delivered on time, and below the expectations. After several iterations on self-evaluation and attempts to do things differently, I eventually found out that structure on the planning, and having a common understanding of the requirements are the key to a successful delivery. As a consequence, I spend now more time on the actual planning (up to 15% is allocated to this), and ensure that everyone has understood the expectations fully.

Those people that I was complaining about before, turned out to become extremely valuable to the company.
> It seems overly simplistic to say he won because of constant media exposure. The 2016 election was a white nationalist backlash against both political parties. Trump’s catering to this surely had quite a lot to do with his victory.

If not of free media coverage[1], he would be a failed right wing fringe politician. Because of this coverage and his polarizing policy, he created conditions where even moderate republicans needed to vote for him. He successfully hijacked the Republican Party, from party working on immigration reform helping Mexican immigrants to party that want to build a wall.

I think if Trump managed to maintain women support, he might win again.

This is a great question and my answer is possibly. If you prepare so much that you stand to gain from it coming about, then it does create perverse incentives. And it could make you part of the problem.
