In general in Belgium if you work overtime that time is then alloted to "inhaalrust" up to a certain point (you're never able to work more then 11h/day or 50h/week). Only if you have like a specific agreement where you work "voluntary" overtime, which is not counted towards inhaalrust, but is the standard 50% extra or 100% extra on sundays/holidays.

More info can basically be found on https://werk.belgie.be/nl/themas/werkbaar-en-wendbaar-werk/a... (also available in French).

As for unions, normally if a company reaches 50 employees they are required by law to have a union rep. How exactly that works I don't know. Also while I personally also have never heard of a software specific union, you can always just go with the big normal unions if you want, it's not like they're going to turn you away.

I would love to see this supported by projects such as librepay:

1. It better captures the project dynamics. Sometimes the author and maintainers don't do much work or don't need the money at the moment.

2. It makes it easier to ask for money.

3. It may also solve the unclaimed donations problem. See for example

Developments in the Arm A-Profile Architecture: Armv8.6-A
The downside of the trial was the need for a dedicated, expensive bi-directional charger, highlighting the need for the functionality to be integrated into the car.

I have been heavily involved in that project (writing firmware for the charger). I also have one on the side of my house connected to my car. I don't personally see any particular need for it to be integrated into the car. The main issue is cost, but that cost doesn't go away if it is in the car instead of on the wall. Either way, the hardware is there and the house wiring will have to support it. It is also important to keep in mind that the charger is essentially a prototype. The main cost is the bidirectional power module. Future versions will likely be considerably cheaper as manufacturing matures and economies of scale kick in.

EDIT: From a regulatory point of view, it is probably easier to have the technology in the charger as the grid operators (Distribution Network Operator - DNO) do not like having unknown generators being connected to their grid. You have to notify the DNO (and in some circumstances, get advanced permission) when you install solar or indeed, a V2G.

On error resume next was the idea about error resilience back then. MSSQL has a similar feature: when you run a script and an error happens it just keeps running statements. If you want to interrupt it, you should wrap the whole thing in the try/catch statement and also roolback a transaction if any or it will commit a partial result.
> Please stop non-browser development and let me pay a monthly fee for a decent browser!

Unless you are a billionaire, you can't afford to. Developing a decent browser takes enormous amounts of money, good luck funding that of voluntary donations or monthly fees if in most technical aspects superior free alternatives exist. Firefox is failing badly on a few hundred millions a year; I'm sure you could do better with a CEO who isn't just a parasitical non-entity, but I doubt better enough to make that idea viable.

> This isn't just a rant, it's also a cry to let people explicitly support browser-only development via donations, subscriptions and show our support.

A pipe dream -- the web is a dead end. If you want something that can live off donation support (as opposed to selling off its users as cattle), you need a new set of protocols. The whole web stack is such a clusterfuck of layers upon layers of crap with one dominant player who can always add more of it when it suits them to slow down competitors (including bugs you need to replicate for compatibility purposes) that there is not the slightest chance of some grassroots alternative emerging.

I probably have around 100 NiMH AA batteries at home, around 30 AAA ones, most of them are Eneloops, around 20 are Energizers and around a dozen are some misc. brands. Most of them time they are good but still a couple of Eneloops died just around 5 years. Moderate leaks but did not cause any trouble. Seemed to be caused by the fact I left them in toys and let them run flat for fairly long time(not sure how long, but should be less than a year). In the same period, I threw away double the amount of other brands ones. Most of the rechargeable ones are still going strong. I do observe a few of them are pretty weak and most likely going to die in a couple of months. In general, the cost to use rechargeable ones are only 1/4 to 1/3 of alkaline ones.

The only things is that some of the appliances does not like NiHM batteries. I'm no saying NiMHs do not work at all but rather they stop working with around 75% charge left, which is quite annoying. I use alkalines with them if I observe such behaviors.
I think the biggest learning from covid is that everybody can choose their own truths and facts, and the internet can provide a limitless amount of support for any theory, hypothesis and conjecture about all of them (even when they're diametrically opposed).

And it doesn't really matter that much because the NPM people can decide to make it point somewhere else wherever they want, or people can decide to create a new package name on NPM and use that new name on their package.json file.
I was on tour with a local guide, in 3 favelas and I felt safe. There is a lot of favelas, some are better and some are worse. Some are basically "safe" when you live there, normal shops, schools and so on. Petty crime is often worse in the good streets below, because thugs and kids go to steel from tourists. I would not go the by my self at night. But there are big differences between favelas.
Maybe I have the wrong understanding. I thought the legal concept of a "person" can be said to be a legal fiction https://www.jstor.org/stable/1342652, but a corporation is not. It's a real thing that is created and exists according to corporate law. That might happen to use legal fictions as part of its definition, but the corporation is not a legal fiction.

But even if I was right there, I would agree I was trying to be overly pedantic and ended up distracting from the point I was trying to make.
> The idea behind is to get rid of centralised, corruptible bottlenecks and decentralise decision and rule making.

And how do you "decentralise" that? There's no decision making and rules without enforcement. So, in a "decentralised rule making" the one with the biggest muscles ends up making the rules.

> the appeal of getting into politics is having power

Yes. And so, in a "decentralised world" you will join the group with the most power. Until, well, you reinvent all the existing structures anyway.
It seems you are over-generalizing. Maybe people are not like you.

> People will absolutely leave your company if they think they can get paid more elsewhere.

Maybe you will. Maybe they won't. Everyone has his own bar for "enough" money. For some there is no such bar.
Well I'm glad it happened, otherwise I wouldn't have learned that it was actually possible to separate these two bars in Firefox. So thanks for that :D

MOND, as the article points out, doesn't explain this galaxy, however. So it's a point in favor of CDM, if anything, that we find a galaxy behaving according to standard newtonian dynamics, not the modified version.

Doesn't really matter how many data points(galaxies) MOND can accurately predict, if it can't predict all parts of the dataset, what is the point? (I'm not saying CDM is better, it can't predict all data points either, but it seems to be better at explaining a wide range of things once you step outside galactic rotation rates).

Bicycles are great but you’d never use one to pick up grandma from her house, a 20lb turkey from the butcher shop, and little Jenny from the school Christmas pageant rehearsal, all in one trip with below-freezing temperatures and near-total darkness at 5pm.

Ok. I was a bit hyperbolic. But people aren’t even moving because their current jobs value them for what they are worth.

My take: at least in the places where I've been, IT tech in the last ~20 years was dominated by enthusiastic youngsters like me. CS and CS-related fields were the default go-to job in my circles around the '90ies, creating a large surplus. If you wanted a job in the beginning of your career, you had to accept either a crappy job or a low-paying one.

I've never seen in the eurozone the US-style crazy-high 100k+ salaries. In general, here an IT engineer hired fulltime fetches a rate which is comparable to many other regular jobs, and generally lower than other engineering positions. However the churn and stress is much, much higher in my career experience. We joke about JS, but almost everything around the IT has now super-fast refresh cycles which require never-ending honing of your skills just for the sake of it.

That initial candidate surplus is now starting to age and drain. These CS candidates have now a decades-old experience in the current tech stack which is worth gold, but are also tired of the churn. You can still get them, but be prepared to pay them a lot more. Many companies which were founded on entry-level salaries will now see their workforce explode in cost. This is going to be huge with the current inflation in the next 2-5 years, where your average company raise won't cut anymore and you're forced to jump ship to maintain your purchasing power.

The young talent is still there of course, but it's often more specialized than what I remember a few decades ago due to the growth of the field. This means that finding a good fit reduces your pool significantly, unless you accept your candidate will be learning for a long time.

Their lawyers are going to have to earn the wins, as the rulings against them don’t find their IP licensing to Google LLC (Ireland) to be particularly clever or cute. That this makes their tax avoidance strategy super obvious and fruitless in the EU is just the icing on the cake. No point for mama Google to license tech to their foreign subsidiary if they can’t phone home with the results. I’m laughing.

They will have to store EU data in Europe, and European authorities will forward relevant data to the relevant US authorities. At least that’s the way the EU courts seem to be leaning. Google will likely appeal and waste everyone’s time, and maybe win. But they will only make calls for antitrust action louder if they were to do so.

How do immutable systems like IPFS manage the problem of updates to a blog?
Agree. They didn't get the memo yet that tech rules the world. These companies are very traditional. Top-heavy, where finance, purchasing and sales dominate the company. That's where all the hot shots are and the big salaries.

Meanwhile, IT is an internal "cost centre", a necessary evil, a bunch of resources preferably outsourced.

Sorry for the flood, just a remark. As a devops engineer from Eastern Europe (with "senior" formal title) in a large international consultancy, these numbers sound like they are from another planet to me. $250k+/year to me sounds indistinguishable from $200000000000000000000/year.

I think it's a lack of ownership and craftsmanship. You need that grumpy old master in charge smacking the apprentices on the back of the head when they don't live up to his standards.

I'm very lucky to have grown up and gotten most of my work experience in that kind of environment. I was expected to aim for perfection, and punished without fail if I didn't achieve it. No half-measures. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

There are people shipping code right now with 100 million to 1 billion users where they didn't even attempt to get it right. Knowingly, on purpose, they aimed to just barely pass the test. To meet the letter but not the spirit of the requirement. To build something that technically works, but not in practice. Make something that they wouldn't use themselves.

This doesn't matter to them. They make the little test suite indicator turn into a green check mark, then it's time to clock out and go home.

And the boss never checked that it was truly done either. He's got no standards himself that the work needs to meet.

> to call them administrative districts is easily falsifiable

Perhaps if we had a common definition of what "administrative district" means, then I would agree. Until then, we're all just making things up inside our heads and arguing about that. Even the lawyer scolding me here for discussing such matters without his permission admitted there is no legal definition for that term.

There is nothing about the plain definitions of "district" nor "administrative" that does not apply to the (US) State, and if anyone argues otherwise they're choosing an unwarrantedly restrictive definition. There is nothing inherent about that term that excludes domestic "sovereignty" nor asserts anything about State relationship to the Feds.

Again, the original contrast is sovereign nation to top-level region inside sovereign nation. I labeled this "administrative district" as a generic term for all of the States/Provinces/Oblasts/Regions/what-have-you in every country of the world, of whatever size, number, method of government. None is like the other, except that they are all districts (using the reasonable, every day, broad definition) that are administered in some way, whether by a governor, king, parliament, minister, whatever.

And now, we are literally arguing semantics.

> closer to sovereign

At the risk of my getting bullied by the lawyer again, you all really have to get off this tip. Internationally, no one cares about state "sovereignty". It has meaning only inside the US. It's like the word "Autonomous" appended to the name of some administrative districts of the USSR. It surely had some legal meaning within their framework, and for them their "Autonomy" was very, very, very important but no one else cares. As far as anyone else cares, how the US chooses to "administer" its "districts", it has nothing to do with international sovereignty. I'm sure if I said the USSR was autonomous like the US is but unlike their respective administrative districts, some pedant would argue about how this or that Oblast is "autonomous", too, completely unlike the US states. That's what's happening here.
