I relate 100%. On work commitments I can usually get it done, or when the stakes are high enough that failing would burn me hard in some way or another.

Awful, maybe one way to deal with this is to just admit that's how it is with commitments and just don't do them. I often fear that leads to a life of dullness and regret tho. The alternative is a struggle until the end of our days.
I requested my report using the link in the OP. The only place Equifax could have gotten this information, with this granularity, is my employer. It's not just a ballpark number or anything like that; it's detailed salary information for the last 10 years, broken down by category (salary, bonus, equity). For the past year, they have granular information for each pay period, including both gross and net.

Heck, when transcribing a number from person-to-person over 2 cell phones, the LPC (or whatever voice compression in use) was reliably rendering one side's pronunciation of a digit (or maybe letter? this was like 10 years ago...) as a different one. We ended up spelling out the digits to communicate it.

PHP has to be the worst offender with its pseudo-Java boilerplate enshrined in its PSRs. PHP is a perfectly fine procedural language but version 5 was like the Second Coming of Christ with its religious devotion to all things OOP. I don't know about shepherding - with PHP it's more like being beaten over the head with a club.
Obligatory comment about the upcoming replacement of JPEG: JPEG XL (.jxl) -- better in every way!

Fair enough.

For context, and again I don't disagree here, I was using it in the sense of saying something that may be technically 'true' (didn't get the raise I hoped for) & (went to bat for you) but in context would give the opposite impression than the one you got.

Consider a company that has a 'mandatory fire the bottom 10%' and a manager who doesn't want to go through the effort to hire someone and so argues that they should be allowed to keep employee A even though they are their lowest rated employee (that would be 'going to bat for you') and it would easy to imagine the manager wasn't happy with their own raise, and "it's been a tough year" ? How? Tough to get stuff done with under performing employees or tough for the company?

So lying? Yes, all by omission. And of course some particularly bad managers just straight up make things up.
Awesome to see and looking forward to trying it out. Thanks team!

The trick I've used to get things done that are extremely hard for me to do because of a mental block of some kind is to somehow involve another person, even if they're just mostly watching. Sounds dumb, but for some reason it works.
Can someone explains why explorer crashes when dragging files (unintentionally) over an offline mapped network drive?

I feel like this is a basic thing that should have come up in testing.
I don't want to derail the thread into discussing exact mechanics. I just think if most people underwrote loans according to their intuition, they'd lose a lot of money. And a tax return is controlled by the same person applying for the mortgage, so is less valuable than the same information split among two people.
As someone points out in the comments section of article, green has been the color of SMS since the first iPhone (which didn't have iMessage) [1]. It is still possible that they made the green "harsher" or something.

No, EJS is a template library. While frontend frameworks(vue, svelte, react) have templates, their main focus is on syncing js with html.

So, not only EJS is strictly less useful than any FE framework, at 22kb (min) it is also heavier than some of the options
Boilermaker language. As in: you make a bunch of boilerplate. And also you get your beer but you’re liable to get a shot in the foot with it. (This is all off the top of my head)

well there's no law that forces them to make it easy.
Just as a reminder, not sharing you salary information with peers only helps one group: employers.

This is kinda funny. 40 million CDs sold is 1 cd per every 8 people in the USA.

The use of the word "increase" is pretty silly in this context, especially considering it was up 1.1%, and they didn't bother comparing it to the year before, or the year before that.

Oh, and while we are at it, there is no need to buy Adele on vinyl. It's horribly mediocerly recorded for CD, and the vinyl by definition is worse since it's a transcode of a digital copy.

In principle yes, but at least for wire transfers the autorities can walk up to the bank and ask for transaction details. And cash needs physical transfer which complicates things.

Either way, it is difficult to determine which transactions are illicit, also in traditional finance.

I guess my follow up would be, why bother with all that?
Not working a job simply reveals your inner character. When you work a job, you're an instrument of the will of your bosses. When you don't work a job, you're free to have a will of your own. So what you choose to do reflects completely on you. Sadly due to oppressive hierarchies many people have needed to exist in environments where willfulness is punished. Since all their past experiences acting of their own volition resulted in punishment, many people become afraid to do things, once there's no longer anyone responsible for telling them what to do. That makes it difficult for the person's inner creativity and independent motivation to emerge. There's nothing delusional about that. It's just a sign of how unfairly people in our society have been victimized. If you want to help such people, then rather than telling them to get a job, you may want to consider helping them to conquer their fears.

Not sharing you salary is only beneficial to your employer.

And yes, the ability for one person say “I am doing the same work as this other person, but am receiving 72c to the dollar” is exactly why employers don’t want you sharing.

They don’t want employees to know what their labour is worth.
Just search on sharepoint, someone might have just left that lying around.
> Happy to see that the payroll processor I used for awhile for our personal companies until I started doing it myself didn't share our data, but am now really worried about future control of it.

Is there a way to find out which payroll processors or large companies report salary information to Equifax? Elsewhere in this thread people have mentioned that ADP, Intel, Google, and Facebook report, Qualcomm apparently does not… I would love to have a more complete list.
If I bundle my personal information together into an nft and then buy that nft, could I issue the credit agency with a DMCA takedown notice?
There’s also no law that requires it be true or accurate. What a great system! :-/
Sure, of course it is in some was better to start at 100%.

The problem is that we all still expect to get a raise, and that cannot happen at a big company if it would take you out of band. I don't think there are many exceptions to this. If they really like you they might throw some RSUs at you, but very likely will not go over the salary for that band.

So unless you think you can get promoted right away (which requires significant luck as well), I think for long term happiness it is actually better to get salary on 80% and negotiate more on the initial RSU grant.
Like they say: "In the end, average temperature in the hospital is approaching room temperature."

For arbitrage to be entirely fair, if a company can easily hire from 2 places, workers should be able to move between those places just as easily. So subunits of the same country if fair game, but countries must not be, unless both countries have effectively open borders with each other.

If society was a meritocracy this might be true, but I’ve seen plenty of engineers paid significantly more than peers that were far better than them. At the end of the day compensation is really about politics and not performance.
How many computers do you think we had??
From what I read in EU the pay is considered personal information and is thus is protected by GDPR. If your employer wanted to share it with 3rd party for something like this, he would need your explicit approval for it.

If you can mentally process a lot of opinions like a Bayesian: Hacker News search with Algolia, e.g. with more than one framework in the query. Twitter search. Reddit search (via https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/).

Comparative code review in your IDE.

Comparative review of documentation.

GitHub search to find big projects that use those dependencies and seeing whether you like the results.
There’s some evidence that most “long covid” symptoms (everything except loss of smell) in most people who claim to have it are not due to covid:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2787741

Specifically, reporting long covid symptoms correlates with thinking you had covid, and not as much with actually having had covid.

Of course this doesn’t mean there aren’t some real severe cases out there, but it’s probably not nearly as widespread as it seems.

You can’t really fight the system. We have to realize that those that got into these positions used that opportunity to put these gates in place. The only way to change the system is to get into the system and then break the cycle and advocate for alternatives.

In countries where unions exist for everyone on the building, everyone knows what everyone else is earning.

It's interesting to hear that there's already a NC protocol today, but most in this thread are aiming at "should" not "can". The point is that a 90-day, name-constrained CA has no more authority than 90-day wildcard cert if both are issued via DNS-01 validation (modulo nested subdomains), so it shouldn't be subject to the same regulations as a public CA with no restrictions (which require CT logging, audits, revocation services, security requirements, etc as you enumerated), or really any more restrictions than those necessary to be issued a wildcard cert. This would be very beneficial for private networks and would have even better security properties than wildcards. Is there any reason why this shouldn't be possible?

> I think it is stupid that your ability to negotiate has a larger impact on your compensation than your proficiency in many cases

Nobody in my long life has ever called me handsome. It's unfair. I can't fix that. But I can find other ways to succeed.

I know many proficient people who are bitter that nobody recognized their talent and they consistently get overlooked. They ask me for advice, I give it, they ignore it and get even more bitter.

Nobody is going to toot your horn for you. You're gonna have to do it yourself. Want to know who was a master at that? Steve Jobs. He never sat around waiting for someone to notice his brilliance. How about the Kardashians? The same. Pick any celebrity. Same story.

This looks awesome. Whether 500 WPM or not, I would give this a try.

Long ago I learned the BAT one hand chorded keyboard. For one hand typing, I got to around 50 or 60 wpm - but only prose. It was much too slow for programming, as symbols and modifiers required their own chord plus the chord of the final character. But with two hands, or even some modifier key foot switches or a second chord hand (like the CharaChorder), it should be fine.
I don't get culture issue, in many countries I lived in never met anyone that had any issue sharing salary data.

In fact, most of them openely discuss such matters.

Never got why in US it is so "pssst, keep it low" when discussing such matters.
Too bad Covid moves so fast that the papers are already outdated. Interesting methodology but the actual number conclusion is heavily dependent on case rates so the top line number conclusions are rather out dated until cases come down drastically.
Oh, I’m sure you hit a wall somewhere.

But anecdotally from friends and colleagues, that wall is a place with extremely generous compensation anyway, past the point where more money is all that life changing.
Oh my bad, totally mess this up.

But I think VDOM is pretty much the core idea of react so it just wouldn't make sense for them to get rid of it. And also with React 18 coming with features like automatic batched updates and suspense, I would imagine it would be pretty hard to do without VDOM maybe?
We work for very different companies if you expect your boss to lie outright. I'm not disputing this will exist, I'm just not sure this is the common case in skilled IT jobs.
Yeah, Typescript is a complete no-brainer as a pick - even if you're only picking a backend language. The type system is better than anything this side of Haskell, while still letting you write boring imperative code without getting in your way for every little thing if you just need to pipe some data around.

Performance is really not an issue unless you're doing very CPU-intensive work which you can't offload to a native library for some reason, or you need to scale vertically rather than horizontally (which is even rarer). Compute cost only really starts being a worthwhile optimization target at the "hundreds of billions of requests per day" level, and even then you're not gonna see much of an improvement from moving to Java unless you're actually very good at tuning threadpools (and it might still not be enough of a win compared to whatever else your developers could be doing with that time).
The pills help but motivation is not some emergent property of normality. You first need to care about, and genuinely want to do, the task required to accomplish your goals.

I’m a fan of this quote from Steve Jobs – (paraphrasing) “every day you wake up and look in the mirror, do you like what you’re doing that day? If not, it’s time to do something else.”

The other quote I like is Jeff Bezos and his “picturing myself on a rocking chair when I’m 80, do I regret not doing this?”

If you can solve these problems then the pills become just a tool to help you execute on the solutions.

Because we are relational creatures. To even accomplish a task in a totally isolated state requires it be intrinsically motivated to an outrageous level.

My (3 + log₂ 2) came from reckoning that you needed one whole bit as a signal in each byte (3), and that the byte-width thing (log₂ 2) was extra to that. As you correctly point out, this was incorrect: the first byte doesn’t need one full bit of entropy to signal that it’s the first byte.

I don't know about this. Without protection from copiers, there is no incentive for anyone to create a new mechanism or invention. It's true that patents can slow the growth of an invention after it is created, but you haven't accounted whether patents incentivize more inventions. That might (and probably does) outweigh the technological progress on a particular invention that a monopoly impedes.
