In the real world, companies can't go down to the local "Employee Store" and order up a 12 year engineer with a PhD whenever they want, even if that's what they would prefer.

In many cases hiring is an organic process where a company weighs options based on what candidates are available to them at the time, their budget, timeframe, and goals.

A 2 year junior dev may be able to accomplish the same goal as the 12 year one, but much slower due to lack of experience, and you don't know if you'll find either until you start interviewing.

This is why many job postings fairly say "Comp: DOE" or provide a salary range.

More transparent comp is great for avoiding lowballing and discrimination (which both suck), but sometimes one employee actually is a more valuable contributor than another even if they have the same title. This is why I personally find the idea of a "salary range" completely fair, but also welcome to be ignored during the offer phase.

If John Carmack and a junior dev both apply to the role of "Software Engineer", I see zero reason why a company shouldn't be allowed to offer him a substantially higher comp due to his experience. He'll likely accomplish the same goals more quickly, more efficiently, with better code practices in mind.

Having to put it under the guise of "a different position" is just befuddling to the process. It's the kind of unnecessary legislation that pushes companies to find shady ways of solving problems.
Yup, it's actually making things harder for us to move away from Russia. One more thing to deal with. And this NameCheap's decision didn't hurt Putin even a tiny bit.
This isn't a business or political issue for them. See the response from the CEO in this discussion. They have employees on the ground in Ukraine who's lives are in danger right now. Given that, I understand why they are not that concerned about the fairness of it.
I can see how it is important for any nation to maintain strategic capabilities in many domains. Since the US is largely a single-continent nation, maintaining a strategic shipping capacity seems less important than other things, but arguably has a greater than zero significance.

The Jones Act disadvantages non-shipping parts of the economy in order to prop up some otherwise unviable operations. In the case of Hawaii, this is especially terrible since US sources of goods and material might be competitive with Russia or elsewhere except for the transportation. The result "costs Hawaii $1.2 billion annually, including 9,100 fewer jobs and $148 million in unrealized tax revenues." [0]

Ship ownership has nothing to do with port safety and a Lebanese Jones Act equivalent would not have changed anything in Beirut since it was international shipping impounded by Lebanon, offloaded and improperly stored in the port for many years. [1]

That's a really fun and interesting concept! The way that quest names can be more specific than broad genres while still encompassing several books is great, because you kind of know what you're getting into without giving away the whole book. "Weird Magic" makes me want to look deeper immediately because that alone is a great hook. (If you happen to recall what the Weird Magic books were, I'd love to know!)
POSIX doesn't require that fork() be implemented using copy-on-write techniques. An implementation is free to copy all of the parent's writable address space.
Is the use-case you have in mind for a Sweeper API being able to shut down a pod based on an external event? We don't have a nice HTTP API for that yet (you could go through the Kubernetes API), but only because I haven't gotten around to implementing it. Would that serve the use case you have in mind?

If I can help with anything as you look into it, do let me know!
Sure but I don't want our company to be a factor in that contribution. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there willing to take the money and provide these services. If there are anti-government non profits out there, We'll consider keeping those up with us if you'd still want anything to do with us.

If you are no longer based in Russia and not doing business there, we'll consider that as well.
Coffee is definitely one of the items that I've found the lowest correlation between price and perceived quality (as a quasi-distinct measure than my own subjective enjoyment). Even among wines, things on the expensive end that I really don't personally like, I can at least convince myself that there's a reason it has the price that it is. Coffee: no discernible relationship.
I've read a lot of reviews like that in Tripadvisor.

Don't forget, Tesla uses cheap 1280x960 cameras (citation needed - they may have upgraded)... pointing out a potentially dirty windshield.
If it isn't better, but just different, then it is most likely just a waste of money. Why did I spent a ton more to have did that isn't as good as the $12 bbq joint? Because it is different?
What I have seen is that the service is usually outstanding and secretary steps above. But the food should also be better as well.
Define “fully autonomous” - we have driverless cars in Phoenix and San Francisco right now - granted, with some pretty narrow constraints. Not as narrow as “needs custom hardware installed along every road to work”

Another thing to understand is that perception in the way you’re imagining these cameras would work isn’t really an issue for AVs right now. I don’t think the problem you’re describing is a real blocker for AVs.
Greece was growing 5% per year in the 00s. It was doing quite well despite the supposed corruption. The truth is that corruption doesn't go away. Your economy just gets big enough to support the parasites. This is probably the biggest reason why we must have economic growth every year. If the economy grows then nobody will notice that funds are being redirected to special interests.

UBI is only good for revenue neutral taxes. For example a UBI funded by land value taxes effectively grants every citizen an equal portion of the country. If such a system were to be adopted globally then there would be no need to conquer land forcibly. War happens exactly when we fail to reach an agreement through peaceful means.

Revenue neutral CO2 taxes grant every citizen equal rights to pollute their country, effectively democratizing pollution.

Negative interest rates paid to the central banks should also be redistributed through an UBI.

However, using a UBI as guaranteed minimum wage is a huge error. You're living off other people's efforts. That's exactly what a land reform and negative interest rate is supposed to avoid. Lowering the interest rate floor to 0% means goodbye to vast forms of exploitation. Work for yourself, if you have too much money then donate it today, not 50 years later in some grand self congratulatory farce right before you are about to die. Don't insist on jamming the economic machine to gain power exclusively for yourself.
This is trackable, but I had my PR closed and my contributions redressed as another PR a week later by the members of a few different prominent opensource projects, without any communication on their part. And I only realized by chance.
There was a big rewrite around MVS, but z/OS to this day executes a lot of code in 24bit address mode of S/360[1], and well, OS/360 code should mostly just run

[1] Easy to observe when running z/OS under Hercules, as one of the console modes shows the CPU address size mode. A lot of the time during bootup of basic ADCD you'll see 24, a bit less 31, and rarely 64
I agree with the headline, but not the content. Letting oligarchs run the show rather than encourage some Western European social democracy seems like the key mistake.

I still don't understand why a defensive agreement annoys Putin so much.

It reminds of the Always Sunny in Philadelphia bit where he wants to take women far out to sea on a yacht to pressure them into sex.

He's not going to hurt them, just use the implication that he might hurt them to take advantage of them.
Realistically, companies try to pay their future employees as low as possible. Someone comes along that chooses to be a so-called "better negotiator" and they get paid more. Why should people have to play the negotiation game?

"What a candidate brings to the table" is likely defined in a leveling guideline. If they bring more to the table, maybe they should be in a different bracket.

If someone is so special (and 99.9% of the people aren't), then maybe give them their own special role with special titles; but we're not talking about exceptional people here, we're talking about an average developer at this company, which I hope has an average relative skill level. Sure, one person may be better at X or Y and worse at Z than another but that's why we have several people: distributing load and specialization.
> If this was a serious weakness then Russia would not have invaded Ukraine to begin with.

Your analysis on whether your opponent has made a mistake cannot assume that they are so smart they'd never make a mistake.

For one, many people in Russia barely can afford food, and many medicines are imported. Prices on basic food were increasing over the past year, and not with sanctins further rise is inevitable.

There could be food riots.

Its like a stock trader looking at the market, saying to himself 'if the stock was undervalued, it's future gainst would already be priced in by the efficient market, therefore no stock is ever worth buying"
A candidate with less expertise/experience in the role should expect to be on the bottom end of the pay range and a candidate who has seniority/expertise in an area should expect to be on the upper end of the pay range. I know for a fact that I've been on the low end of the pay range when my area of expertise didn't quite overlap and expected as much, but I got to learn a new technology and expand my field of knowledge.

That's a great question and the answer is probably why a lot of companies don't spend a huge amount of time interviewing and reference checking.
Bob the slacker can demand it. But unless Bob is unable to find another job that pays him what he demands, he has no leverage over his current employer.
Dear Namecheap CEO,

A better way you could have done this would be to announce non-renewal but have a single-renewal escape clause for people who are too busy to deal with it. This would allow you to make your point without shafting the consumer. You could also have given something back like a one-time at-cost discount on moving to new replacement domains. You know, act in solidarity with your customer instead of against them.

> There's way too much human labour involved in getting someone to drive to your house, climb onto your roof and bolt panels to it. In that time, that same worker could set up a dozen similarly-sized panels when building out a utility solar farm.

Yeah but they do come in stock occasionally, subscribe to the Twitter and turn on alerts.
In software, as in writing, you have editors which request changes during the review process. Nowadays one person can't hold the whole program in his head. Some people lack soft-skills and so they pursue the myth of the solo developer.
I don't understand your point. Iran certainly did intervene though. And I don't think there are many people you can point to that say now that the invasion was a good idea.
The part about "electron screening" makes no sense at all. The deuterium nuclei are in the slots between the erbium nuclei. Most of the electrons are very close to the erbium nuclei, so the slots where the deuterium nuclei are have a low electron density. Approximately the same density of an isolated deuterium atom, perhaps the double, but I doubt it's 10x higher.

The orbitals of the electrons of deuterium are like 1000x bigger than the size of the nuclei. So once the incoming deuterium nuclei approach, it will be much closer to the target deuterium nuclei and it will not see the electrons. Note that most of the energy of the repulsion is when the nuclei are close, not when they are far away.

The erbium are useful to keep a lot of deuterium together, but the electrons shelling is probably very small.

The trick they use is to use a very energetic gamma rays that colides (indirectly) with one deuterium, and this deuterium is very fast that is the same effect you get when you have a very hot deuterium.
From a purely rational point of view, isn't it safer to assume that by default every element of our species is purposeful unless proven otherwise ?
Value is too subjective to be discussed, but if we settle for “normal” portions at less than 300 bucks a meal, restaurants pushing to the top tier on taste also end up in the Michelin. If you’re into traditional “at home”, no nonsense cuisine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the ones making it to the list.

Perhaps the deception is on thinking that any “excellent” restaurant will be pleasing to everyone who can afford it. If you don’t like oysters the best oyster spot in the world will be pretty meh, same way if you’re not into trendy stuff, the price tag won’t make it magically work for you.
Thank you for the context! I recently discovered that many employers share exact salary and level information with Equifax and assumed that those kinds of solutions were commonplace.
I've paid in full for four domains just four days ago -- some two hours before I was thrown into a police bus. I may understand why you did this, but this is a low move, nonetheless.

Tax dollars or not, you're imposing extra costs on your users, most of which relied on your services for decades, and terminating any trust they ever had in your services.
Sure, I'd be interested.
Competitive programming develops these skills quite well.

Reaching high performance means knowing the solution before coding it up.

Witnessing high level competitive programmers scribble stuff on paper for 5-10 minutes, and then just a pure stream of thought into a 100 line C++ program that was compiled once, run through examples, submitted and accepted, is out of this world.

Another example is when solution is unclear (mostly for number theoretic stuff that needs to be efficient), scribble on paper, code up pattern generating code, generate patterns, look at them, stop, scribble on paper, code the O(1) solution, submitted and accepted (an easy example is to efficiently calculate the sum of first N Fibonacci numbers).
The interesting question is what happens if battery prices continue to decline so that $XY,000 becomes $X000 and thereby less than grid fees.

Low generation can be solved with an inexpensive gas generator for use in emergencies the likes of which might see three days use in a year.
Still hopeful to get a proper Linux phone someday.
Assume positive intent. English isn't the primary language in Ukraine.
There are no simple answers because it depends on your genes, the quality of the food, and more. There's a lot of searching for data to support a thesis, see the sugar industry attacks against fat and salt.
This is hilarious to me, because Gary Danko is the only Michelin starred restaurant my wife and I immediately said "never going back there" as we left, and laugh about how bad it was every time we drive past. The food was mundane, poorly prepared, un-special in about every way. I could not fathom, from our night there, how it maintains its Michelin star.

I assume by CPQR you mean SPQR? I only dined their before they got their Michelin star, I thought it was OK at the time, but not as good as an average high quality SF restaurant.
That's a much bigger ask than you seem to realize. Overthrowing a dictator is an incredibly bloody undertaking. Even if you win, there's no guarantee that whoever takes control of the country will be any better.
What's more, when it comes to computer architectures, even among Digital it's not the oldest nor still supported.

Because you can still buy a new PDP-10 (well, PDP-10 compatible, iirc a lot of I/O is different, but it can run TOPS-20 V7 with patches)

Of course S/360 has longer continuity of hw/sw combination.
Yeah, I was on the way to the airport the other day, my meeting got cancelled, so I called on the way 75 mins pre departure, and they just gave me a credit for the cost, zero hassle, and I went home.
It's like they don't have enough problems as it is, they also want to annoy clients and destroy their own business. Their choice. Even if they reconsider it's a good idea to move anyway, such behavior makes them extremely unreliable.

> It also doesn’t have dedicated F-keys or arrow keys. Why? You might say. Well, reducing finger stretching and hand movement is key to keyboard ergonomics. So, it doesn’t make much sense to have those keys if we want to encourage people to use layers and place them closer to the home row.

I have a deep hatred for companies that try to rationalize removing functionality because think they know what's best for me. Using arrow and FN-keys is way better than having to change to a layer or typing key chords

> People that are getting angry need to point that at the cause, their own government.

Believe me, I'm very angry at my government. Unlike you, I've been protesting the regime for several years, putting my health and well-being at risk. I've donated thousands of dollars to anti-regime organizations. And I'm currently in the process of fleeing the country because of this.

So I'm also very angry at you, for screwing me over when I'm in a really fucking vulnerable position, as well as hundreds other developers who depended on your company.
So you're saying a few people making way more than the rest of their peers will be pulled back in line with the rest of their peers while their peers make more money?

Honestly, I'm okay with that.

If someone was making 500k and their coworkers were making 100k, maybe their coworkers _should_ be being paid 150k or 175k and that 500k worker should be either promoted or pulled back to like 250k
If this be naïvete, then I'll happily wear that label, and wear it proudly. I've been around enough to have a good sense of the value you create when you make an effort to consider other people's interests, and that seemed absent in the original post. I disagree that this is naïve, however. I've worked with far too many talented people who think the same way to chalk this thinking up to inexperience or simplicity.

That they are a for-profit company is completely irrelevant, as is whether or not they have a bug bounty program. Legal abstractions aside, it's still just people on both sides.

The expectation isn't that the poster work for free. The poster could have easily obscured identifying details and the content of his article would not be diminished. It is my opinion that if he wanted to "show his work", work done of his own initiative, then I think it would be more interesting and useful to include something about attempting to assist in remediation. I think, as mentioned by others, it would make a far stronger argument to click that "hire me!" button than anything in his technical analysis.

Of course automated systems are on the hunt for this stuff. Same with public code repositories, Docker images, and if you operate a subscription-based service with any popularity then your web interfaces for sign-up, login, etc will be subject to well-orchestrated brute force attacks. That someone did a poor job is all the more reason to avoid potentially contributing to their exploitation.

A response within the positive spectrum is absolutely above and beyond. Of all the feedback this community can provide, I think this is the most useful and I'm grateful that the poster has been responsive to it.

> Both Windows 9x and NT were directly or indirectly derived from DOS and OS/2,

False, or perhaps only true for "Windows NT" before Dave Cutler and his team developed it while working for Digital. After Cutler arrived at Microsoft and took over development of NT there (i.e. replaced it with the OS he developed at DEC at... not sure NT 4.x? ), Windows NT was no longer derived from DOS, rather, DOS was ported to Cutler's OS. The last OS derived from or based on DOS may have been Windows ME.

This is a good answer to another question: what is the oldest computer family/architecture still in use? I'm sure there are other contenders out there, especially with modern descendants of old architectures and different interpretations of the question. I'd be interested in hearing about others as well.

I believe my employer's PDP-11 ran RSTS/E or some variant, and the software was written in BASIC by my current boss. There were a lot of operating systems available for the PDP-11 for a lot of different contexts (including UNIX).
I've always heard this about MacBooks but I've never understood it. One of the first things I do when I start using a new MacBook is turn off the backlight. I can touch type, after all; my fingers know where everything is.

I can't transfer domains to another domain registrar because I have to pay "Transfer Fee". I can't do this because the payment through my Russian cards does not go through. Now I need to go to the Russian domain registrar and pay them to transfer domains from NameCheap.
These bills are mostly useless if they don't include bonus and stock compensation, and this bill only requires a "general description" of other benefits.

Companies that don't want market transparency will simply restructure compensation packages -- "bonuses" doled on on a 24 pay period amortized schedule are an option even when equity isn't.

In tech, salary being mostly useless as a measure of total comp is already the status quo... if someone tells you that their salary is $160,000 then could be making $160,000 or they could be making >$1M. Expect to see similar behavior but even at the $60K/yr jobs.
There is much more rationalising about death being good in Christianity (with the notion of a heaven for the believers) than in Judaism (no set beliefs on the after life) or even many pagan religions of that time (Greek life after death is often depressing for non-heroes)
