Some of you whiny purple staters need to take these gripes up with your own tourism industries, because your reps are using your precious tax dollars on telling people like me in super blue America that I'd make a great fit in your neighborhood.

Ohio is advertising all up and down California asking people to move there. Ohio is specifically targeting the folks who live just north of Berkeley, California, where they make the mold for the stereotype you purple staters love to hate.

Ohio is also advertising that same message in Redhook in Brooklyn, again, where you can find the folks whose pictures are basically meme templates that old Trump voters use on their Facebook groups about antifa and critical race theory.

Maybe you all actually just dislike rich, out of touch, Ivy League elitists who move into neighborhoods and ruin them for locals. If that's the case, going to a coastal college doesn't make a person coastal. Last I checked, the Ivy League recruits from every state in the union, including your purple states, and most Californian cities actively demonize those same people who are ruining California cities too.

Anyway, this weekend, I'll be headed up to NASCAR Spring Smash in Roseville, California, where I will no doubt run into the types of Californians who ACTUALLY move to your states. They have all of your cultural tastes, and they read the same stuff you do, and they share your distaste for the archetypal Californian.

No, it isn't. 2022 should not be a valid date of birth in the first place. And the account being locked because of that should probably also not happen without additional checks.

It's okay to have standards even when most UIs are bad.
Damages seem to have been pretty minimal. Yeah there's a lot of "This could have been worse" but defense in depth seems to have worked. Okta seems to have taken the worst of it, and that was mostly in terms of reputational damage.
I should probably consider getting an AMD GPU, but I might as well get a new computer, then.
I've looked at it only briefly, but... From my (mostly Unix-ish) perspective z/OS looks a bit like as if MS-DOS have been continuously developed by a few hundred people since the eighties. There are some nice things, but the overall system architecture is somewhat... nonexistant.
100% test coverage is really the starting point for testing. Once all the lines of code you've typed in actually run before they're delivered to the customer, then you can start adding the real test scenarios!
That's probably something that should be discussed with the employer early - just bring it up casually on the first meeting with them, and then you're sure.

And of course, how many days a week you should be in office, and how many days remote should be in the contract too. Usually I would also ask what are the working hours and add this to the contract, because the clearer everybody's expectations are, the better it will be for you and the company.
What does "influence" mean?

Elton John didn't know many of his fans in any meaningful sense, but their existence certainly influenced his life.
You're right. But at least you would have enough proof to seriously damage their reputation in case they change the terms in the letter. I'd like to believe they would care about that, especially in tech where everybody is struggling to hire good employees.

Deaf person here. Those resources are great to learn from. However they lack the interpersonal aspects. It is similar to using Duolingo, you learn it from the app but it does not do enough to help you to retain the language. Our syntax, language, grammar are structured differently than what you are used to with your spoken languages.

If you want to be effective signing user[0], you are encouraged to interact with our community. You get a better exposure of our language through social activities and it will help you to retain your memory of our language.

Another resource I recommend is taking sign language classes in community colleges, they are cheap to attend and satisfied your foreign language requirements (if you are undergraduate). You get interactivity from your classmate and teacher, so you get a better benefits to retain our language than relying on those app alone.

Don't be scared of learning sign languages, they can be overwhelming. But it will worth it in the end. One advantage of sign languages my hearing[1] friend told me about that they can eat and sign at the same time without speaking, they don't have to worry about spitting out the foods while they are speaking.

It baffles my mind the length companies who run Linux in PROD will go to NOT provide Linux to their devs and how much effort is put into making Windows and macOS to LOOK LIKE Linux.

Common put half as much effort to make Linux work with whatever is so important on the other OSes (what is it? AD/kerberos? Anti-virus? Some spying software?), and let the devs who want to use Linux and be productive!
When you watch people for cumulative hours, you get an idea of who they are. You get a feel for who is a normal Joe that gained an audience because of their passion for a topic and who is just someone following trends trying to gain follower just to gain followers. You also get an idea of whether or not they really know what a vpn is.

If I see a product I've never heard of before advertised to me by someone I trust to some degree, I'll check it out. I almost never buy because I have years of shields built up to stop myself from buying crap at the drop if a hat, but there are occasions where I will buy if I like the product enough after researching it. Those times are rare, though.

I don't watch videos from most people who could be described as "influencers", though. Mostly small creators who have an interesting take on something and are passionate about it.
You likely made the degree a deciding factor by voluntarily raising it as an issue with every single person you spoke to.

In the future, I would suggest not even mentioning that you don’t have a degree (unless there’s a legal/licensing requirement for one).

Simply do not include an “education” section on your resume.

You’re not being dishonest, and given sufficient work experience, most people won’t even notice the section’s absence. The few that do notice, won’t care.

> a GW of solar + storage is much cheaper than a GW of nuke.

Storage is far from a solved problem. There are many solutions for storage but we have yet to see one truly work at scale.
I found Amazon's culture - in particular the relentless obsession with solving actual customer needs - to be a perfect fit for my own engineering training from day one. I was not "molded" to fit it. As I see it, as an engineer I have expertise my customer can't truly know or measure. They really have to trust me. I earn that trust by taking on their problem as if it were my own. That's how I've worked my entire career, and that's what I love about the parts of Amazon I have actually observed.
Many people are not really in the position to just go and get multiple (in this case remote) job offers.
Meduza always tried to target young, cosmopolitain audience of Russia whereas Novaya Gazeta aimed at the older crowd of people who wanted democracy starting from 80s, didn't get it, hence bitter and generally blaming Russian people for that.

Meduza's crowd is pretty sour right now so it's quite possible they converge.
The control would be to not show ads. This was tried in the article, with time as the variable to partition the control groups.
> Facts are carefully constructed human artifacts

Beliefs about questions of fact may be, facts are not. At least, by the usual definition of “fact”.

If we’re just redefining words, sure, whatever.
1) Meduza much younger then Novaya Gazeta (2014 vs 1993)

2) Meduza based in Riga, Latvia and Novaya Gazeta based in Moscow, Russia

3)I think, that Meduza has more opposite position to Russia’s government then Novaya Gazeta. Novaya Gazeta just want to be free in telling news in Russia. Novaya Gazeta had tried playing Russia’s government rules until they was blocked by Kremlin in 28 march 2022.

4) Meduza owned by Medusa Project SIA. Novaya Gazeta owned by journalists of Novaya Gazeta (76%), Alexander Lebedev (14%) and Mikhail Gorbachev (10%)
I couldn't disagree more.

Tests that will survive a refactor are the most important tests to have.

The other tests are, at best, a false sense of security and often an active detriment that slows down future development. They might sometimes catch actual mistakes, but just as often they fail when nothing is broken, leading to the tests not being trusted and broken tests being updated even when something was actually broken.
I have a VM running on GCP. I have the world's simplest usecase: how do you export the instance as a snapshot so that I can run it from somewhere else. Say, a virtual box environment or another cloud provider. How do you export a snapshot of your disk and VM?

Good luck searching for a solution. I just spent 2 hours trying to figure this out and it seems impossible :(
This is really not true for either. You can be pre-assigned teams before bootcamp/hiring in both. Many/most don't. And sometimes the pre-allocated team does not exist anymore when you finally show up to work.
I like the idea of a 'metric pound' at 500g. Definitely smart, similar to a 'metric ton'.
You can remove FAANG from that statement without reducing its correctness. The recruiting business is like the used car business -- there are good recruiters out there, but the odds aren't fantastic that the one you're talking to is in that group.

When you find a recruiter that is honest and genuinely wants what's in the best interest of all concerned, hang onto them. Keep in touch with them. When you're thinking about changing things up, make them your first call. They are gold.

Treat all others with great care and suspicion.
I agree with your broader point that you shouldn't just assume large brands always know what they're doing but other than the 404 example I'm not sure these are actually indications of companies not knowing what they're doing.

> Those companies that have a Sign-up for our email and get 10% off your first order pop-up, you mean?

I get that this can be annoying but plenty of companies do A/B tests and find that it works for them. I suppose it could mean they're just following some fad and don't know what's going on, but it doesn't have to mean that. This is especially true for companies that have long sales cycles or are in categories where lots of comparison shopping is common. Getting someone into your email funnel can be more important than anything else.

> Those companies that ask you if you have a discount coupon just before you enter your card details for something you are already buying?

Where else in the funnel would you have them apply their coupon? Maybe my perspective is different because we do a lot of offline advertising, but if someone comes into the site off of a print coupon they're going to expect to be able to put it in somewhere and get their discount. If we don't put it in the order flow they're either going to not purchase or we're going to get a lot of customer service calls from people trying to redeem their coupons.
That's the thing that pisses me off about how testing and the periphery around testing (like coverage) are commonly treated. They're seen as being virtuous in and of themselves and no one wants to measure whether they are counterproductive. Even if one took that initiative, good luck getting anyone to care.

Sure, I suppose one could say that any tests is better than no tests, but that also dismisses whether testing can be done better.

Code coverage is the worst. I've worked with codebases with various degrees of code coverage, and I've never seen a correlation between coverage and the number of bugs encountered. There may be an asymptotic nature to how much coverage is needed, but I would bet the threshold is low in a general sense. Once you've reached even 25% coverage, it's really dubious whether more coverage than that is actually telling you anything.

Of course, we could measure success by number of bugs and company revenue, but no, we can't do that; those could make people look bad.
Here is why: extraverts who need constant hyperactive human interaction are the only people psychopathic enough to ascend into the leadership tiers that make decisions about remote vs. in-person.

So they just can't, and I mean CAN'T, handle the idea of all-remote.

At all.
>> Some perspective: In 1957, the U.S. hadn’t even launched a satellite. Twelve years later, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. So unleaded avgas is a harder problem than a lunar landing? Perhaps you can enlighten me in the comments section.

The Apollo program also cost $25.8 billion between 1960 and 1973, or approx. $257 billion adjusted for inflation in 2020[1]. That's a full 5% of total government spending. That's an astronomical! amount of money to spend on a seemingly frivolous goal of upstaging the Spviet Union.

"Always get your information straight from the company"

I remember the hiring manager walking me out of a prospective employer's high security area after a really successful interview, and I asked him in the hallway about the full employee conversion process. He said the entire team is interviewing to keep their current jobs and they'd be shutting down their office to consolidate on the east coast. No way I'd accept after that. I still wonder if he was lying to me since I've talked to their kubernetes people at DevOps Days, so I know they have a team here still.
I've gotten into the habit of being born on January 1, 1970. Seems like a good enough date to me.
As I stated elsewhere, I agree that the assumption of American audience was misplaced. My bad.

That being said, I'm going to counter on the idea that _most_ Germans, Italians ... understand English.

It's certainly true that the _subset_ of Europeans targeted by Le Monde (affluent, educated, europhile, pro-business-yet-socialy-left-of-center) does.

So the move is less strange if you assume they're trying to compete with "The Guardian" or "The Economist".

I still wonder if they hope to compete with the New York Times or Washington Post.

Also, it's a bit disheartening that they decided to react to accusations like "you're too Parisians, you're out of touch with the real country, you're globalist who don't understand the troubles of real people" with such a "hold my overpriced wine, I'm going starting a world domination plan" move.

We already have a media concentration problem in France ; if all national papers start catering to the exact same globish audience, it will just make sense to stop having them altogether and just assume everyone will read the NYT, maybe with an adapted sport section (maybe not.)

Not good for local news.
> It's even easy to move several files 'next to' each other in the window. It's not easy to move files matching a particular name, or across multiple folders.

This is nonsense. Just embrace PowerShell.

My dad worked for Univac. I remember that he had an instruction card for the 418 (Univac's lower-end system; the high end at the time was the 1108). I remember that addition took 4 microseconds, and multiplication took 6. This was arount 1970, maybe a bit after.

So don't sneer at 5MHz in 1964. It's really fast for the day.
I too interviewed at Google for a remote position; we got through team matching, and I'd found a great new potential manager, before one of his bosses nixed the idea of me being permanently remote. My recruiter ended up finding me another team match under a different director where I could be permanently remote, but the delay and difficulty was a major factor in me going to Facebook, which has a strong commitment to remote work.

Just to be clear, I really loved my Google recruiters -- they were very forthright and open with me during the whole process, and the Facebook recruiter was honest too. Great recruiting experiences. They worked really hard to move fast, and I think I went from initial phone screen to offer at FB within two weeks, and from phone screen to team matching at Google within three.
> No, a lot of other key value storage systems allow you to update individual rows and get notifications when individual rows changed, kind of like you know, an actual database and not just an ini file.

You refer to something different, not just some way to store configuration.

> What your example actually does is

That isn't really relevant though, that is an implementation detail, you do not access the root window property directly. It is a reason why it can be fragile but you'd have the same issue with some configuration library that read an entire file, made changes to key-value pairs and saved the file back - and then the same library was used at the same time by two different programs or instances of the same program.

> Sure. The problem here is that other toolkits will naturally disagree on resource names and will support resources that other toolkits don't, or that even conflict with resources defined by other toolkits.

Again, this isn't really an issue with X resources you cannot expect a resource meant for application A to apply to application B even if B could read it if it wanted. That different applications (and/or their toolkits) do not agree to common keys is a separate issue that isn't solved by using a different storage method. There isn't really a technical reason why applications can't agree to some shared keys (like, e.g. applications, toolkits and window managers agree to some common protocols to communicate with each other) regardless of their underlying toolkit. This is all a social aspect - the programmers who wrote those applications/toolkits decided to not support them.

> No not really. Even Microsoft suggests you don't use that function and instead use the registry because, despite all it faults, at least it correctly functions as a storage database.

Registry is something different, i explicitly mentioned this function in the context of parsing INI files.

I mean, i do not think X resources is a great way to do configuration, but a major issue IMO is that it being locked to X11 when all popular toolkits wanted to also support other systems meant that they had to come up with their own approaches and nobody bothered to address (and maintain) the issues it has - so those issues remain around to this day. Same reason basically why Xaw despite being the closest to a default toolkit Xorg has still comes with the same primitive monochromatic look with usability that doesn't match to any common GUI toolkit released in the last 35 years.
Nuclear power should be exactly comparable to other types of power.

Deaths during construction. Carbon produced in construction.

Deaths caused by mining and transporting fuel. Carbon produced by that.

Deaths caused by consuming fuels. Carbon for that as well.

Deaths caused by accidents during the lifetime of the power source.

Deaths caused to wildlife and pollution.

Deaths caused by decommissioning and deconstruction. Carbon for that too.

Then lifetime for nuclear power station, vs oil, coal, gas, wind turbine, solar.

Finally you can do an unbiased comparison of each.

Nuclear power has saved many lives by not requiring dangerous coal mining, particulate emissions, and climate change effects.
I took a 5-year break and it was 5 months of brutal futility to get back into the workforce at 60, but once I hit my stride I received multiple simultaneous 6-figure offers in month 5. Positive attitude very essential due to many, many, many rejections. Constantly solicited feedback and tuned my approach to meet goals of targeting industry hiring cycles, getting interviews, technical screens, 2nd through Nth interviews, offers, quantifying offer value, negotiating offers. Very annoying because I really just wanted to do technical work. Non-technical people of course put a premium on other things, I crave getting into the “Flow” state.

It’s important to clearly internalize and relate objectives about why you want to return to the workforce. Discover how people in the target position(s) actually work. Talking to people who want to stay current is helpful. Make a list of things to be familiar with so you don’t blank out in interviews. My kids wanted me to do LeetCode for 90 days and apply at a FAANG. This is how people at the beginning of their careers conceptualize capturing the opportunities. However most of those companies have a substantial strata of management influenced by bias against older technical people. If you’re able to successfully pillage LeetCode and say Project Euler at a handy pace at 62, you’re probably founder-class talent and shouldn’t waste time laboring under artificial constraints imposed by lesser minds, heheh. Join a startup crew or go into consulting instead.

It helps to stay current and be able to demonstrate same. I just made a list of what people were asking for and related it to the content in my resume, sometimes doing tutorials or making up little projects to clarify my understanding.

Addressing Age Discrimination: If you have ever been forced to take management training WRT discrimination and harassment it covered hiring. Often an insecure hiring manager (or their boss) might feel threatened by the idea that a person who previously held a senior principal role could desire to return as a non-manager technical worker. Perhaps most people click through the age discrimination awareness training without paying attention. I ran into enough of it that I was tempted to partner up with an attorney to be become a professional victim of age discrimination...

In my experience only about 1 job out of 500 has superlatives over all. Most others have some degree of suckage. So I try not to sweat the small stuff and rely on karma to round over the rough edges.
Why not just have occupancy requirements / vacancy tax?
The way that electricity flows through a conductive medium, it doesn't matter if the circuit appears to "crosses your heart", because some portion of it will still flow through your heart regardless.

Or, to put another way, you'll still see current at the heart even if it only flows through two fingers on the same hand. And even if it's a really small portion of the current, it doesn't take much to stop a heart.

Plus, there are a virtually unlimited number of proven tools for seeing if the circuit is live (even if there's no current flowing) to rely on such dodgy methods.
PCI DSS v4 resource hub
I know some of the FAANGs do monorepo (Google being the biggest) but AWS does not.

A monorepo is an organizational mess when trying to manage and transfer ownership across thousands of teams, contain the blast radius of changes, unless you invest a ton of resources into proprietary tooling that requires a bunch of maintenance, since all the open source solutions are terrible at this and the whole data model is built around splitting out individual project repositories. And then after all that effort, why wouldn’t you just use tooling the way it was intended, and the way it’s used in the open source model, so you can partition your CI/CD without a bunch of hacks, and don’t run into bizarre scaling issues with your VCS.

It perplexes me people advocate for this strategy. All I can think is it’s another one of those cargo-cult ideas that everyone is doing because Google did it (So it must be good).
