Well it's a negotiation. Those guys succeeded at asking for 2500, but you would start at a number they are guaranteed to say no to, and work your way down.

Like the going rate for a senior here is 900, and a good senior is 1200+. So your starting offer would be at least 1800, probably 2000s to round it up.

Which is the high end of your zone of possible agreement (900-1200) plus 50% for danger money, plus a few hundred to round it up to 2k.

Then you see what happens when you throw out the big number.
Presumably Glassdoor started as a place to leave honest feedback about companies. But they had to make money somehow, and individuals aren't going to pay to access those reviews. So their customers are now the companies themselves, who can buy "employer accounts". While it still exists, their business model did a 180 degree shift.

A good start for interpreting EU law is to let go of the US literal view of the law and to start looking at the intent of the law. That's a much better predictor for how EU courts will rule.
It's almost never worth using binary packers - every saving in on-disk size is lost on extra memory usage and extra cpu usage on starting up; it also interferes with memory management features (a binary typically takes up no writeable swappable memory - a packed one does).
Heh, that’d actually be entertaining. After that it would be image editing, then text editors, then, actually just delete the utilities section from the App Store…

All I see on the Marginalia Plato article is a site that forces an uncomfortably narrow article width on me, while eschewing almost all the advantages of hypertext in the name of some ill-conceived notion of "quieter reading".

I'm not saying it's all bad, though - it's something that could be an option offered to the unfortunate people with attention deficit disorder.

The forced text width, however, is inexcusable.

> C program will run directly on the OS. Adding a layer of runtime means reduced performance.

A C program that isn't compiled in an embedded context has a runtime layer on top of it. The OS doesn't call your main, it runs the init function of the platforms C runtime to initialize all the bloat and indirection that comes with C. Just like your compiled C program doesn't just execute the native sqrt instruction but runs a wrapper that sets all the state C expects, like the globally visible errno value no one ever checks but some long dead 1980s UNIX guru insisted on. C is portable because just like python and C# it too is specified on top of an abstract machine with properties not actually present in hardware. If you really set out to optimize a C program at the low level you immediately run into all the nonsense the C standard is up to.
From your article: "fuel savings of 3.2 to 5.3%" from rounding of the front

The article itself states there are bigger benefits to be had modifying the trailer:

"Further aerodynamic improvements are possible, notably on the trailer. For example aerodynamic add-ons, such as tails and
side wings, could help deliver even higher significant fuel savings. Their potential is explored in another T&E briefing. [23]"

The referenced article:
https://www.transportenvironment.org/wp-content/uploads/2021...

That article shows a variety of tail modifications which have higher effectiveness than rounding the front.

As a person from France, i can assure you racism is not taught and will not be taught unless we fight for it. Yes, we're taught judging someone solely based on their skin color is wrong, but cultural racism for example is put under the carpet. As for all the atrocities committed by french republic in the colonies and on its own soil, they're not taught to us because if we as a people realize that racial hierarchies were institutionalized by "respectable" people long before Hitler came to power and continued to be official policy long after he died, we may start to ask questions and hold accountable some people who really don't want that.

Two specific examples:

- the "vel d'hiv" sweep is taught in schools, as an example of the nazi collaorators gathering in a stadium and deporting/murdering thousands of jews ; that the same stadium was reused for the same purpose in 1967 against algerian people is not taught in schools

- Jules Ferry is revered in french schools as father of the public school system; yet schools do not teach us that he was famously racist/supremacist, and that his public school system served as a tool to colonize many regions and practice cultural genocide against many ethnicities (including a dozen on the French soil)

Fortunately, we have some decent academics studying/teaching the history of racism in this country (ex: Bouamama, Ouassak, Rigouste, etc). Unfortunately, they're under relentless attacks (especially since 2015) to be shut down by the far right who accuse them of being anti-white racists and/or "islamo-leftists". If that last expression rings a bell, that's probably because "judeo-bolsheviks" was an expression used by the nazis: should it surprise us that debates about "islamo-leftism" have reached mainstream TV in a nation that's built on the blood of countless peoples?

Nobody said that you can't do business with Apple in any way that you want.

Your arguments in this thread are based on some kind of extrapolation that is not warranted.

As for what Stripe and other PSPs do: I'm intimately familiar with that stuff. You are free to do your own marketing/sales/payment processing/whatever but you should not be forced to deal with any particular party, including Apple at some price that they set.

Note that if Apple would charge regular PSP fees we probably would not be having this discussion and you would be making more money.

I meant more left/right thrust to control yaw without sacrificing your stealthy edges, not necessarily the full f-22 capabilities. Ie, not needing to actuate control surfaces on the wings (or minimize the need), in the context of not having a vertical stabilizer.

Iirc, the B-2 has to "hide" certain control surfaces momentarily when getting pulsed with radar.
That's hardly a contradiction. The vaccine may help prevent overwhelming health services (prolong the time until collapse, decrease the overall intensity of the collapse) but not be successful at it. Whether any given health care system collapses depends on the quality of the system itself, your definition of collapse, the vaccination rate, the makeup of the population, non pharmaceutical interventions in place, the season, and so on and and so on.
It is a fair point on climate change. I'm not really an expert on this, but I'll make some various points...

I think winters have become drier, but April can be absolutely torrential.

The specific location can also make a difference. I'm near the base of a mountain which I believe can prop-up the underground water table nicely, and can certainly cause more rain.

I think Portugal being costal also helps with rainfall, certainly compared to the plains of Spain further East.

Try and get some data for the last decade or two. That will probably be more useful than any local anecdotes. But local terrain/micro-climates will make a difference.
Yeah I think that's probably from my own habit of never using full screen windows. Though I'm not sure how to deal with the fact that it's very hard to read long lines of text. Most printed books, newspapers, and so forth use that width (max 60ch) specifically because it's hard to follow lines longer than that. I chose to follow book guidelines specifically because that format has been largely stable for some thousand years and is at this point the gold standard for legibility. Usually when things stagnate for that long, it's not because nobody has thought to try something different in all that time.

Maybe multiple columns could be an option, I guess. Not sure how to do that well with varying paragraph sizes, though.

This is excellent news. You see, I work in networks. I (helped) write the driver that is used on the carrier side of 4G networks, and it's open source, so, like Apple, I retain the copyright. A driver that you have undoubtedly used to order pizza. My code is the "platform" you used to pay that pizza! I am entitled to compensation, and apparently 30% ... wow. Great news!

I'll have 30% of everything you ever paid over your phone now.

Remember, you CHOSE to pay using "my" infrastructure, so it's only fair that I be compensated for that.

Or is your point that these rules only apply to massive US corporations?

Yes, but if you want to get money, you need to announce your address somehow and the government can forbid dealing with addresses that haven't announced themselves.

So, you can try to have an btc address, but you cannot announce it publically, nobody will be able to deal with you, and you won't be able to getthe money out. This will default to imperson dealings and understanding of trust just like before the blockchain.
I was a lot like your friend's 11-year-old when I was a kid. I loved games, and I loved clicking around to make custom content for games, but I didn't comprehend programming.

My mother at one point even installed and booted up Visual Basic for me once and I just didn't get it.

It wasn't until I was 16 or 17 before I actually started seriously getting into computing.

I guess some kids are "late bloomers" and some just don't have the aptitude for it.

Apple massively restricted Tile by requiring the user to accept multiple scary GPS warnings. By requiring users to opt in (multiple times) they made sure that users are aware of what the app + trackers do, at the cost of making Tiles network less useful.

Of course, now that they have their own trackers, all Apple users are not only automatically opted into the Airtag network, they also made it almost impossible to opt out!

Talk about double standards.
> There’s a shakeup happening right now (Corbyn gone and Johnson likely to follow) but it’s way too early to tell how long it will take for faith to be restored.

I was unemployed for 9 months (which drained me of my savings), couldn't visit my grandmother because of the instability created by the repeated lock-downs and uncertainty. It almost financially ruined me. I can't afford to fix my car, I had to get into more debt to just get my hot water running. At the same time politicians, media personalities and the like went out boozing, sleeping with their mistresses and doing exactly what they like. Everyone of them should be thrown in jail for what they have done.

There shouldn't be any trust put in the political process. I hope it won't be restored ever. People shouldn't trust any politician at all nor the democratic process. Time after time these people have failed the people (all the political parties) spectacularly. The system itself selects for the very people that you don't want.

> Maybe it’s just my politics, but it seems to me that whatever your politics, the lack of a functioning middle leaves us all worse off.

The "functioning" middle is what has led us to this place. There is a famous quote from Noam Chomsky which is apt:

> The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively
debate within that spectrum.

The idea functioning middle is sold to people because most people believe in being reasonable and fair minded. This unfortunately is misleading. What it really means is "business as usual". Business as usual brought up the Iraq war, endless wars in the middle east, financial crisis after financial crisis where everyday people get shafted.

I don't want to be represented by any of them. You also don't really get to choose who you get represented by anyway. You get a very small say in who represents you. If I wanted someone to represent me, I would hire someone myself.
Exactly. likewise most people go to a dealer and get a "third party car" that works quite nicely on the shared infrastructure of roads, signs, gas stations etc. Maybe with a few configurable options such as color.

Related: over-internationalization. Just because I’m browsing from an IP address that appears to be in Germany, doesn’t mean that I want your site autotranslated into German with no way to switch back, even when I type “/en” or take other active measures to indicate that no, I really do want to read it in the original English.

I also don’t want to be protected from seeing English-language content you’ve not yet translated to German by being popped over to the German homepage when I clicked a link to an article that’s only in English.
Your problem was that you stated that most people on UBI will resort to beating their children. What is ironic:

They may have no hope to "deplatform" someone from a university (except here in France where they're gaining power), but they certainly have strong success in ruining people's lives without consequences for themselves. See for example GamerGate and the many other harassment campaigns organized by the neo-fascists and masculinists, who had terrible consequences.

And you say they have no hope to "deplatform" people, but hey what happened with the crackdowns on Riseup, Indymedia, Unicorn Riot, Wikileaks and other platforms? The fascists, due to having strong ties/networks within the institutions, have a bigger impact when talking about their own hurdles and we barely talk about anti-left censorship.

>Your comment implicitly assumes that vaccination is the only possible way to reduce death

No, this was a discussion about 1. the claim by others that vaccination would be the key to "end" all of this and 2. my complaint that not a single cent of many 100s of billions my government spent on all of this went into health care.

I would very much have liked if we had spent more money on nurses, and into making their work as easy as possible by allowing them to concentrate on their core competencies and offload the easier parts of the jobs onto more nursing assistants, which can be trained relatively quickly. Alas, we didn't, and here we are!
I think it's healthy to not care about something you have no real stake in. But you can compensate for that condition in a day job with hobbies or pets or friends or generally something to care about outside of work. I personally do a number of regular social things outside work as well as occasionally writing and producing music on a purely amateur basis, where the only reason to do them is _because_ I care.
I am waiting for a follow up: "Why are accountants so bad at proving theorems?"
> Democracy is essentially populist, because elites fight for votes through media.

That's not really what populism means. The essence of populism is deep distrust for deliberative mechanisms and, more generally, for any efforts at endowing political decision making with desirable qualities such as intellectual depth, moderation, nimble adaptation to circumstances, compromise among opposing views, etc. etc. Populism is, in many ways, a clear failure mode of politics.

Good riddance? People will keep finding & buying things they need.

If nobody’s buying anything from these businesses without invasive advertising & tracking then maybe whatever goods they were selling aren’t actually necessary?

Of course there is nuance and edge cases to this, but in general I wouldn’t be surprised if society and the planet was better off once we stop producing useless garbage.
Doubly so, because it influences how even non-vegans think about that dinner now. If you hadn't thought about what that dinner would be, you'd now be thinking about steak. You might otherwise have picked a lot of other things. I think it's unethical for them to manipulate you that way, even unintentionally.

I have been doing this work for more than 20 years. There is absolutely a maturity window to this line of work. I am unsure if there is age discrimination but there does appear to be preferential factors targeting younger ages.

By maturity window I mean a candidate is most ideal for this line of work if they fall within a certain segment of a bell curve, a Goldilocks zone of not too great and not too bad. This maturity window is dictated by hiring preferences, work culture, and product averages, but not by technology.

For example the industry is approaching a point where developers are not employable without going all in on React framework even if a developer can ship superior products in a fraction of the time without the framework. A decade ago jQuery held this position. The business objective appears to allow a wider pool of applicant availability where many such applicants would be unqualified. This eases hiring for the employer and allows access to high paying work for people who would otherwise be grossly inadequate. That accounts for the maturity window on the low end.

Reliance on nonstandard or supplemental external tools to define a job creates artificial averages in both product and high end labor. A developer can only be as productive as the framework allows. The product can only execute as fast as the framework allows. It also caps innovation in that a high end developer might otherwise be capable of offering innovative solutions is now limited to the artificial constraints of the framework.

This scenario creates an ethical dilemma for all parties. When developers define their capabilities and employment by use of a tool or framework what happens when that tool goes away? Does the developer achieve functional obsolescence? This primes and incentivizes developers to preference their self interest above that of the consuming user as necessary to remain employable. It also primes employers to target applicants who lack the maturity to appreciate this.
Who you using for DNS? iirc archive.today had a falling out with Cloudflare DNS because of a way they passed the requests onto archive.today so they stopped answering requests from Cloudflare DNS.

As someone who has created several skunkworks projects at large companies which got shipped, I'm wondering what exactly the OP's definition of "Modern organized software" is. I have definitely worked in an environment where creating a skunkworks project was next to impossible due to a toxic micromanagement culture, but in that case I left the company instead of assuming that it was representative of the software industry as a whole.

EDIT: I'm also confused about the talk of "corporate rebels" on one hand, but the complaints about dealing with processes on the other. What do you think corporate rebellion means? Do you think that "rebellion" means not having to deal with any attempt to stop what you are doing? Frankly, trying to sneak around processes is half the fun!
