Please let them know, but do so as anonymously as is possible. Consider an email from a proton burner address via VPN, printed letter mailed from somewhere other than where you live (maybe even from your office if there are no cameras). Depending on the size of the company, discovery during a lawsuit like this can get insanely detailed and expensive.
You're right. I use the new terms and move on. It's really not that bad.

However it tends to become a password game. There's a new password every few months. If you know the new password, you get to feel above those who don't. It's as we invent new crimes to charge people with.

If no one calls it out (because sure, whatever), it keeps ratcheting up. Then banal conversations turn into minefields. What you say gets invalidated because you used the wrong password.
The reason I cancelled was a combination of not being particularly interested in most of the content (I liked Bridgerton though) and the fact that while they were boasting record profits, they hiked their price up. I remember back when their streaming service was new it seemed like they had every movie under the sun (or at least a lot more than they do now) but since every studio has decided to have their own streaming service, it's mostly Netfilx's own movies/shows. Some are good but they miss way more than they hit.

On top of that, raising the price in the same month that they announce record profits left a really bad taste in my mouth. I know they're a business, and businesses love to chase infinite growth, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or give them my money.

The best streaming service for my particular usecase, which is primarily watching wide release movies, has been hbo max/go/whateverthey'recallingitthisweek. They get most of the wide release movies I'm interested in, and for the older weirder niche stuff that they don't get, I just buy the dvd/blu-ray and throw it on plex.
I would much rather lose blood than require my body to try to rebalance what a dialysis machine disrupted.

A filter which excludes all of the things you don’t want in your blood and left anything besides plain water would be hard, not worth the trouble.

This is plainly illegal according to the Civil Rights Act, but the courts have watered it down repeatedly. Hopefully the Supreme Court picks up these cases and confirms that Civil Rights Act meant what it said when it said:

>It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or (2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. (b) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employment agency to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to discriminate against, any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, or to classify or refer for employment any individual on the basis of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
If you choose not to pay for their movie and watch something else, you are correct that you didn't steal from them. You did steal from someone else just like them though. If you pirate their movie, then yes you did in fact steal income from them. The act of choosing to pirate that particular movie changes it from a matter of potential income to a loss of actual income.
Indeed. Specialist YouTube channels are a goldmine, that’s why they work.

It’s the new version of specialist magazines as far as advertising goes.
Sadly this battle is lost. I understand affirmative action and the need to do it if there has been some systematic bias preventing outcomes but this has become such a touchy topic that how it is done is not debatable lest you be seen sexist.

I have sat in hiring debriefs where the criterias used for selection have been very subjective but no one will want to acknowledge that they are trying to do positive bias to do affirmative action.

More effort is put on taping things at the end of the funnel rather than fixing things at start, if there are things that need fixing. When metrics of managers and DEI employees are measured on short term impact, why would they not take the easy way out.
I haven't had netflix subscription for years now since they stopped carrying movies and TV shows other networks had and shifted towards producing their own shows. I'm not interested in any of their original series / movies and just used it to avoid going to the movie theater and watching TV ads.
Technology in late model cars makes tinkering more difficult as well. Back when our parents were tinkering, you didn't have to reprogram a computer when changing heads or a cam. All you needed was hand tools, for the most part.
My toys are an '88 and a '90. Both would require creating a new program for major changes- requiring EEPROM chips and a programmer. Newer cars are simpler, but not as simple as needing just a screwdriver to tune a carb. Quite honestly it does take some of the fun out of it.
I think the debate over whitelist/blacklist is often pointless. Yes there is not cause/effect link, but it honestly doesn't really matter. Allowlist and blocklist are much better words imo because they are self-descriptive, whereas whitelist/blacklist requires context and pre-existing knowledge to understand. And to you it may be obvious, but not everyone is from the same culture and has English as a first language. Why not just use the better terminology?

I am not advocating for banning the terms above, just to make an attempt going forward to slowly migrate to the other ones when possible.
If I were a senior manager and I heard that coming from you, you'd hit the unemployment turnstile faster than you could blink. You're being paid to determine whether they can do the job well and are a good team fit. If you don't understand that, then you aren't capable of conducting a quality interview, and you shouldn't be in that position at all.
Not really. Not the degree you seem to think. Otherwise identical twins would have the same personality.

You’ve edited your post while I wrote this response. Your final point is a straw man. I didn’t say anything like that. Good day to you
I inherited a codebase like this, from a developer coding in their native language. Function names or variables started with a typo, and they just carried on with tab/auto completion from then on.

By the time I arrived the damage was wide and it was easier to leave it consistently wrong than try and fix across several codebases.
They are for documenting and checking. Obviously, if static typing is your only concern, you wouldn't have picked Python to start with, but if you did have a reason to pick Python, you can get a large subset of the value of static typing for correctness and dev-tine information via Python’s support for type hints and the typecheckers (mypy keeps getting pointed to, but it's not the only one) that support it.
Watch out for blackholes!!! :-)
> "In order to be interesting, you have to be interested."

This is backwards. Rather, unsolicited DMs are only acceptable if you are already deemed interesting, ie some sort of social media "celebrity".
Explicit pronouns are actually useful for communicating with coworkers. If you communicate with people who have names that don't hint at gender (or are in a language you are completely unfamiliar with), having pronouns available helps to avoid some basic communication gaffes. Think of it as human type hinting.
Even if the body doesn't have the equipment built in to deal with it it's not a stretch to believe that we could build an external machine specialized to the task - whether dialysis machines can do it on their own or not I'm uncertain.
I find it amazing that you think this kind of blatant racism is acceptable - what does being “white” have to do with his behavior or performance? or do you think certain skin colors are limited in their abilities and performance?
You might also hire a younger who turns out to not work on bugs because it's beneath them. Or they only want to work on new projects because they went to some uppity college and it would just be wasting their education to work on "old tech".

I've seen those. They suck to work with just as much as an older who is set in their ways.

Honestly, age has nothing to do with either. It's personality.
Programmers are not solidly average intelligence at all. Everybody writing software is at the upper end, even if defined very loosely to mean something like top 10% of Americans. Note that among SAT scorers, the top 11% of males score >700 on the math section and top 7% of females score >700. This isn't some super-elite group, and you're already looking at 1.6x as many men.

But you're arguing somehow that we should specifically discriminate in an attempt to hire dumber people, so... well, that seems like a bad idea to me.
Are Che tshirts still cool? Maybe just one of those raised-fist tshirts. That's sufficiently distant from the Russian matter.
Fox News is pretty pro-vaccine. I just looked through their website and couldn't find any stories against vaccines themselves. Several stories saying they're safe and effective.

This part of the culture is in the grip of a mania. Mania is like improperly overclocked insight. Turn the zeal dial too high, and out comes confusion.
I'm kind of trying to go the other way. I am amazed at how productive great front-end/js-first developers are with even just a browser console --- but I am totally flumoxed by this environment, and have trouble sinking my fingernails into the first ledge on that learning curve.

Is there a "terminal developer's guide to front end"?
>>Where it was always clear who the good guys and who the bad guys were

As I get older, and the world gets more chaotic, I find I like this more and more.. When you have to vet the weatherman saying it's raining, its nice to have something simple/straightforward.

As a kid, I always had a softspot for 80s spiderman - nothing ever went right for the poor guy :-P
I think they don't have a rich enough VC friend, and they need a kick up the arse before (to be blunt) they get too old.

Ivan was saying that they weren't sure about how to get money, and then someone quite rightfully pointed out that this is probably the most liquid time in years for funding startups.

Mill team if you're reading this: Get your IP sorted out then open source everything, then start talking to VCs aggressively. Not the other way round because everyone thinks you're either a joke or a group of fantasists.

Cool ISA, hopeless execution. Where's the FPGA model?
Agreed. The event should be attended if folks find it appealing to do so. So it should be on the event to be that way, not everyone else.

Fortunately for me at that workplace HR eventually realized nobody was listening to their complaints / we weren't going to entertain them.
The approach to solving it is to get promoted a lot. All of the directors and many of the staff+ engineers at my company are 40+. They are highly respected, receive eye-watering compensation, and if they move more slowly and cautiously than young folks it's chalked up to experience rather than senility.
Good luck proving a company has discriminated against you for reasons that are entirely contained to an individual's brain.
> Spurious social interactions in the office are often the inspiration of important company initiatives.

And also major company conflicts. They are not all positive - many of these "social interactions" are bonds over hatred of the company and working to get out. But we ignore these sorts of interactions, for the narrative...

> DEI efforts, and often those leading them, are increasingly the most biased and close minded parts of the organization.

That's a feature, not a bug. As Ibram X Kendi says, "the only remedy to past discrimination, is present discrimination".
No, I am not taking anything of value. You still have all the things of value you had before. The difference between a rivalrous good and a non-rivalrous good is not semantics.
It's interesting to me people make all sort of assertions about why men or women are dominant in an industry without anyway to falsify their hypothesis. I provide some data points having lived in several countries that may offer some insight. Draw your own conclusions.

I got my undergrad degree in Iran (a relatively conservative society with an ultra-conservative even anti-women government), where the ratio of women to men in our computer science class was roughly 60/40 in favor of women. The ratio was similar all across the board in STEM and non-STEM fields as more women were admitted and graduated from universities than men. To get admission in Iran everyone has to go through the same standardized test nationally. Women were scoring better and better in the nationalized test than men every year until they passed men the year I went to school. (The trend continued later even prompting the government to introduce legislation to cap the ratio of women at least in certain programs.)

When I went to Europe for grad school (to a very progressive university in perhaps the most progressive European country) to my surprise I had only one female classmate who was a non-European international student in a class of 40.

I let you judge what caused this discrepancy. But I hope we can all agree the issue is much more complicated than some want to make you believe.
Well they're not trying to raise up men, they're trying to destroy any notion of gender, see "gender is a social construct".
No legal ones, that's for sure.
If you're in the time range to edit your comment, there is time to actually delete your comment instead of making a passive agressive edit. I feel that simply invites more in-fighting, with less context.
My company presented a DEI slide a couple years ago showing black employees on the rise, and white on the decline, with targets of 35% black employees by 2025.

We also have intern roles that specifically require you be black, or lgtbq. It’s wild.

I looked into what it would take to report the job postings, but from what I can tell you need to be discriminated against personally to make any claims.
Probably since those terminals are not cross platform and seems like the guide is written in that context. Alacritty is but not the most user friendly for beginners.
I'm in my 40's have been with the same company (FAANG) for over a decade. I'd say a majority of the management (including engineering) is in their mid-30's to 50's. It looks like the entirety of the senior management in engineering in my org is in their 40's.

There are fewer individual contributors in their 40's, but I know several (some moved from manager back to IC, others stayed IC).

Maybe this is a bigger issue at startups, where the founders are in their 20's?
If you wanted to do this safely, and you were ok with the massive data collection privacy hazard, what you'd do is collect real-time driving data from a bunch of cars:

a) the full sensor stream if possible, but if not, then at least the candidate software could process the sensor stream in real time and output a condensed state and save that

b) the human driver's actual control inputs

Collect these and analyze when the software's suggested inputs deviate significantly from the human's input. Some of the time, that'll be computer reacted to things faster, or human appears intoxicated, but based on real world reports, there's got to be a large space of human driver did the right thing and computer ignored important parts of the scene.

I also think there's some evidence that Tesla has the approach of continue driving unless computer can determine it's unsafe to continue, whereas Alphabet/Google/Waymo has the approach of only drive when computer can determine it's safe, which is way more frustrating to drive nearby, but leads to better outcomes. With Tesla, we usually have reports of collisions at the intended driving speed (which is slow for summon, so great), whereas Waymo collisions are usually at slow speeds often as a result of traffic hitting the Waymo vehicle which was stopped in an unexpected way.
Where does this come from? I didn’t see it in the Netflix TOS, but I could have missed it. Link?
The great thing about comics is there is one for everybody.

Instead of heading to your local comic book store, which is geared toward people with disposable income, you head to your local library or children's section of a large bookstore, you will find way more age appropriate content for your seven year old. I'm willing to bet your seven year old will understand and relate better to these comics than anything on the wall at the comic book store.

Depending on the maturity level of your child, you are just a few short years away from them being able to handle the nitty gritty comics of today.
100% the opposite. Bankers make their money from the flows of cash streams. Putting my cash under a mattress or setting it on fire steals it out of the hands of your banking friends.
You seem to be confusing hipsters and nerds. Nothing about the definition of being a nerd requires a constant search for ever more obscure pursuits to maintain a sense of elitism.

Nothing was "taken" from the nerds, except social stigma. They're still reading comics and watching anime and superhero movies, and playing D&D and video games, etc. They're still nerds even if what they love is more popular than it ever was.
> Mainboard implies there's one main board. Motherboard could be more ambiguous to someone who's never seen the inside of a computer. Are there two boards, mother and father?

Am I crazy or does mainboard strongly imply there's more than one -- eg main, supporting / secondary, etc? Stories have a main character which is almost by definition not the only character in the narrative.
I would gladly pay for a service I am currently getting through piracy if there was a legal way to have it though. Availability of all content, no geoblocking (I live in a country where Disney+ and HBO Max is not available but I do pay for Prime and Netflix). For me if there was a way to have what I'm getting in a legal way I'd go for it but it is not an option. What I'm getting at is that its not a matter of money/pricing its also a matter of convenience, availability and not having to track 4+ subscriptions and apps when you can watch it all under a single platform.

The amount they'll have to pay to keep the person in the future.

They don't want someone that will leave in a year. They want them to stick around, without inflating their budget.
> I don't really keep in touch with many coworkers due to time. My friends tend to come from outside of work and they're not software devs.

'friend' is a much higher bar than 'somebody in your network'.

plenty of folks i worked with over the years, who i haven't heard from in decades, but i'd move them to the head of the line if they called up asking about work. i remember who got shit done and who didn't, and don't care that they didn't put in a repeating calendar item to take me out for a beer every 17 months.
It's been the norm between 2020 and about five minutes ago.

I would argue that, to this day, in most quarters, e pluribus unum is deeply engraved. It’s presence can be considered a true test of one’s metal. Any newly minted ethos just won’t do.
Identical twins aren't exposed to identical environments; if the programmed response was particularly sensitive to small input variations, genes could completely determine interaction with the environment and identical twins could still be very different.
Hear hear.

If your conception of diversity doesn't include viewpoint diversity, you are operating within a prejudicial, small-minded, small-hearted, and regressive framework. If you belive the most salient details about a person can be read from their appearance, you are a bigot.

This cuts every which way, but many want to pretend it's not true for their own biases. This includes seeing someone with blue hair and a pronouns pin and writing them off immediately just as much as seeing an old white man with a camo mouse pad and assuming the worst.

Don't do either of these.

You'd be surprised what differences can be bridged if you approach those different from yourself with patience, love, and toleration.

Remember, it's not really toleration if there aren't some things about someone that are legitimately hard for you to accept. It's not an impressive moral feat to extend welcome to those who you already felt were on your side.

My personal bias here tends toward reflexive dislike of DEI stuff because it feels cult-y to me, but the message of toleration it's rooted in (even if that's not always practiced by its proponents) is obviously the only alternative to fighting over whose values will be imposed on everyone else.

At some point, it's federalism live-and-let-live or it's war, kinetic or memetic.
I don't understand how anyone can say the netflix UI is anything other than trash.

Part of people's problem with netflix is that it shows them maybe 100 different shows out of the couple thousand they have at any given time, for the rest you basically have to use a 3rd party to discover them. Sure its prettier than it was back when they put everything in a giant tree/list, but now its a dozen or so vertical categories with 20 or so horizontal items and it doesn't even bother to deduplicate shows out of multiple similar rows.

The best netflixy way for me to discover new shows is to log into my wife's profile where she has a 100 different romance/etc movies. Otherwise "whats-on-netflix.com" for example does a better job than netflix itself, including showing a complete list of new additions, and removals, etc.
