it's political theatre and will go nowhere, but if it did: Disney pays for a host of services (police, fire, etc) that would instead be passed on to local counties, so it's possible that the company comes out in the black
>b) get shafted in performance assessments for taking a normal amount

I suspect a contractual guarantee isn't going to protect much from that. If you're taking 4 weeks but everyone else on your team is taking 2, there's going to be an impression that you're less "hard working" (warranted or not) than everyone else. However, if you get passed up for a promotion it's going to be hard to prove that was the reason behind it.

edit: the mandatory minimum that the sibling comment talks about fixes this.
I'm still trying to challenge your assumptions. Why does a different solution necessarily require expanding the scope of work? Like you said, that's where experience helps to have those skills in your toolbox. Doing things better doesn't have to be harder.
I bet that most of these terms also forbid sending malware or spam. How is that meaningfully different when it comes to scanning email content?
>The EU believes that privacy is a human right that everyone should have

Specially from the moment that political position can procure them financial rents, and a good pretext to stop the penetration of american companies in the economy.

And no, I am from a country inside the EU, and I am appalled at how the Brussels bureaucrats keep interfering in my relations with companies.
Doesn’t sound too insane; sounds like an architecture designed for real-time professing, where you’ve got an “IO processor” that boots the system and handles all the interrupt-heavy work, and an “application processor” that can be solely dedicated to your workload and will only be interrupted by the IO processor if it explicitly asks to be by first making a request to it.

Very similar to previous-gen game consoles, e.g. the Wii U’s “Broadway”
Why were you using a distro with a 9 month lifespan for 10+ year deployments?
This isn't contractual, but I always ask "so, how many days did you take last year" or "how many days does the leadership team take" or "how many days does the team take on average".

Give me a feel for what I'm walking into.

I don't know if a company with unlimited PTO would put it in a contract, because that might put them on the hook for a payout for unused vacation when you leave. IANAL.
Sometimes I wonder if it is, partly, due to how software development is framed. E.g. on HN I’ve seen people describe software development as basically maths. But Grace Hopper described programming as like planning a dinner party, requiring “patience and an ability to handle detail”.[0] A C++ dev I know, who has a languages degree, said learning to code was similar to learning a very unfamiliar grammar.

If more software developers used examples like those, maybe more people would consider software as a career? If nothing else, seems like I should give it a go when I have those conversations with people.

[0] Adafruit have an image of a 1967 article in Cosmopolitan, which quotes Hopper. https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/03/12/a-1967-cosmopolitan-art...
No, not at all a pixel wide. A pixel wide font character can hardly be called a character, can it? What information does that pixel character convey, exactly? Would it not look identical?

Instead, this is the largest failing in my mind to TUIs. As eyesight goes, font sizes increase, and if you use a TUI so do your borders, pads, etc. You have no way to keep a reasonably consistent border size in a TUI if you also want larger fonts.

As it stands i'd prefer my "UI" elements in my TUI to be half the size they are currently. Gutters for things like line numbers or error indicators are obscenely wide due to this notion that they must be a full block size.

If instead you put restrictions on the division, such that font blocks would have to evenly divide then, hypothetically, misalignment would be less of a concern.

So many cool new TUIs are being born today but without very small font sizes they are made nearly useless imo. Popups in https://zellij.dev/ are another great example of something severely inhibited by old fashioned limitations.
They aren’t really talking about day care, but a nanny who only takes care of your own children. It’s what’s comparable to having a stay at home parent.
jman plumber in my town earns $47/hr+$32/hr in benefits. Not bad total comp especially if you add in OT.
I used to burden myself by reinstalling the OS with every new update, because I wanted a clean OS I reasoned. Eventually I stopped worrying and it hasn't been a problem. I'm still open to doing a fresh install if something goes wrong. I still back up my data knowing that the OS or the hardware can die any time.

To update to the latest Fedora versions I run a shell command and 30 minutes later I have the new version and I can hardly tell the difference.
This is an incredible article. So beautifully and sensitively written. It is wonderful to know that the methods described here are just now becoming possible to enact legally.

But damn. Here’s the rough schedule: 200 mcg LSD at 9am followed up an hour later by a full dose of mescaline and then 5 hours later a dose of amphetamine. At 5:30p they are sent home with a friend and given a sleeping pill.

I’ve tried a lot, but that’s quite a day.
Wut? I asked two questions, one of which was me being genuinely interested to see where I missed the assertion that millennials have "4 and 2 times as much wealth as millennials do when they were the same age". I wondered if it was in the article, because I didn't see it.

If you want to talk about reasoning though, I actually did give a reason this could be the case (if indeed it really is), by suggesting it could be related to the difference in population size between when the baby boomers were around, and now.
I hope it's not true, he's already given a very unusual signal for a CEO, taking a 10x pay cut so underling employees can have more money. But alcohol can turn good and cool into bad, violent, and ugly.

Sorry to be that guy, but how does one go from 2 years at graduate level to being a senior? I would respectfully say that it takes more years than that in every case even the best cases, short of completely exceptional.

I think the interview feedback you mentioned in your comment, not the original post, is further evidence of that about lacking 'deep' knowledge in an aspect of programming - this kind of thing takes time working on real challenges to accumulate, and for people who have spent 5-10-20 years accumulating hard won experience, the bar to consider someone a senior may be a bit higher than 2 years.

Of course this won't preclude you getting a great job, but it might be realistic to set your expectations in line with what others may consider also.
> The biggest issue I have here is this: the EU is unable to uphold their own laws. They do things violating their own rules. They are unable to either patch their rules or stop the violation.

I think that's a feature not a bug. The EU believed that privacy is a basic human right, and codified that right into law. But the EU isn't a single minded entity, it's a huge, entirely unique, multi-national government. The natural result is that it behaviour can be contradictory and inconsistent at times. But the codified rights make it possible for the judicial system to step in and correct the errors as they happen.

Eventually the EU will develop a cultural in-grained understanding of privacy and GDPR. Then we'll see the end of these silly violations, and the continual need for the judicial system to step in and correct the legislative system. Until then, at-least the EU isn't afraid to empower its citizens to hold it to account.
My point was it’s roughly equal, why make a shitty comment trying to start a fight instead of looking up the information.
The heat required to just start the melting (~60C) will kill those. Viruses very easily before that temperature, and after a few minutes for bacteria.

Fungal spores won't be killed, but that's usually less of a concern.
Yeah, I just skimmed the video, and that aircraft is one generation behind the current design. It was a good aircraft! The new one looks very similar externally, just a lot more optimized internally.

One of the sound bits I heard while skimming was that the recovery system misses 10% of the time. We've dialed it in to be considerably better since then. I'm going to forward that timestamp to a particular coworker and see if it causes his eye to twitch... :-)
These mass graves are the product of indiscriminate hatred and collective retribution. How can they possibly justify it?
1. You can have friend at your place nearby playing computer games or something else. Just there incase you panic or have issues. They should read up a bit before. Basically they are there to tell you that, example, you get anxiety, that you are fine and what you are feeling is not real and let go.

2. If no one is around stat with super low dose first time. And grow from there over months if you are scared. You'll understand after low dose what's coming and thank yourself later.

2. You can not have any and I mean any plans for that day. Not even I'll have to take the trash out in the evening, seriously. Turn the phone to airplane so no one can call and block messages. You do not want anything that requires functioning human from you. You could do that but it will ruin your time.

4. Outside - no matter how cozy your home is do it in your country house or somewhere where you are alone and feel safe, have a fallback house or place but still in nature. Dunno, rent something.
What kind of company are you trying to found? For this answer I'll assume you're a software developer starting a B2B SAAS.

#1 Product market fit. Skills wise this means you need to talk to customers and understand their problems. Jobs-to-be-done by Tony Ulwick helped me with this. Interviewing customers is super difficult and counter intuitive.

#2 Sales and marketing. This is a huge topic, easily as deep and counter intuitive as software. engineering. I found marketing for developers by Justin Jackson helpful as an intro.

#3 Now you've worked out what to build, and how to sell it, you can do the easy part. Build the actual product.
So the regulation both didn’t fix the issue and made the user experience worse…
Always push back on terms in contracts that you don't like. I deal with a lot of Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work markups. 75% of the time people just put out changes without really being very tied to them. If they want to do the deal, hire you, etc., they will make changes.

Here are some tips that have worked for me. I am not a lawyer but I've spent a decade plus reading all kinds of contracts. It's kind of a hobby.

1. Read the entire contract carefully.

2. Consult a lawyer if there are things you don't understand. My biggest single disaster was because of failing to do this on a partnership agreement. It almost tanked a company acquisition deal. I always go back to counsel whenever something new pops up. You can think of it as paying lawyers to teach you how to take care of yourself.

3. If you see something you don't like, you can ask a question like the following: "I see you put X in the contract. What's the problem you are trying to solve here?" It sets up a conversation about how to rewrite it in terms that are more acceptable.

4. Provide alternative language whenever you can. This is better than forcing the other side to go back to their lawyers who may be motivated to cover their butts / show they are putting in the time rather than finding a real solution.

There are things that counterparties see as vital so at some point you'll hit things where they simply won't budge. At that point you can make an informed decision whether you want the overall deal. Meanwhile you get the other stuff that's important to you.

Places I tend to be really careful: matters related to IP, liability, and indemnification. These are all areas that can get really painful if things go south. There are a number of tricks to do end runs around liability in contracts. Check with counsel if you have any doubt and push back hard.

Places where I'm more flexible: terms for payment, length of termination period, governing law, venue for resolution of disputes (e.g., arbitration vs. courts), etc.

Again I'm not a lawyer and your experience may be different.
The EU ignores the UK to the extend that the UK wishes to be ignored by the EU.
Much of the discourse around antiwork is bait and switch. What applies to manual labor intensive jobs does not apply to engineering jobs.
This sounds like great advice. Thank you for the ideas!
It may just be a shibboleth/canary for a set of state politics the partner disagrees with.
You're right, it should say Eastern/Northern Europe (or just Europe). I realize the mistake now, thanks for pointing that out.
It would probably be better for everyone if we learned to do math/science with the slide rule instead of a super powered HP graphing calculator. I kept my HP48GX from a sophomore in HS through university. I can’t even use a regular calculator efficiently because I’m hardwired to use the stack and RPN’s order of operation. When the 48 gave up the ghost, I bought the new primo one when I went back to school for PhD… mainly for basic calculations. I have the non graphical scientific HP calculator, but I like seeing the stack on the screen

An amusing thing comes to mind. The example in the article was about a clause that, if taken literally, would hurt the employee. In this case it seems to be the opposite (putting aside the concerns you bring up, which I share). Technically you could just give proper notice for a vacation after 2 weeks at the job and never return.

I don't know where to go with that, it's just funny.
Evolutionary biology is sincerely beautiful, the biological history of our species is a meta-history to human history.

On a grander scale, the biological history of life itself weaves the career of the human race into a context of profound interconnectivity.

It's natural to contemplate your origins, the place and culture you come from, your ancestors and the history of your family. It's even more profound to contemplate your biological origins, your ancestry into species unrecognizable from your own.

It really is a humbling experience to trace a path thousands and even millions of years into the past. The end result is an increased appreciation for the beauty of nature and for the inseparable unity of the human race.

Your link clearly states: "Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies".

For everything else you need to ask for consent with "No"/"Reject" being clearly labeled and being the default option.

Yes, it's that easy.

> too slow, since by the time governments catch up that something should be done, a lot of harm has already been inflicted upon users.

So, what eactly is your proposal except "law is bad"? How do you propose law should work to minimize harm?

To be clear: I think that EU is too slow and too lenient when prosecuting things illegal under GDPR, and that they should pick up the pace. However, "omg this law makes the web bad" is in itself is a very bad take. Because it takes responsiility from those who are actually responsible for making the web bad. They are now exposed... but managed to persuade people that it's not their behaviour that is blatantly evil, but that "the law exposing them is bad".
How cool!

I happened to take a JSX flight from Seattles Boeing Field to Oakland maybe two years ago and it was a really enjoyable experience.

The terminal at Boeing Field is a sort of old historic building and it was set up such that you essentially walked in, checked in at a small counter and then walked out the back door to board the plane that was sitting outside on the tarmac.

The ride was smooth and overall I'd do it again except that they later cancelled that route.
And is what the GDPR is trying to establish as the legal baseline, though things are moving slowly (this article is showing they _are_ moving though)
That odd story a couple months ago where some guy seemingly crashed his plane deliberately for tiktok clout?

The Avro Vulcan had two ejection seats, for the pilot and co-pilot, and nothing for the three other crew members. They had a door and were expected to bail out, which after they switched to flying low level under enemy radar wasn't really possible. Predictably this lead to several tragedies. https://hackaday.com/2021/01/11/the-v-bomber-ejector-seat-co... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan
Fair. I was thinking more about standard W2 employees who rarely think about contracts, they're the ones that need a simple website for reference and help. Consultants are familiar with contracts and can make educated contract decisions on their own.
Somehow I find this tiny bit less distasteful than high-priced optical or digital cables. Theoretically you might have use case for very high quality mains cable. Let's say with good quality UPS regulating the power supply. Not that it is not a scam also.

>However, intel should have made ecc the standard and not just for 1000$+ Xeons.

Agree 100%. IMHO, the choice between "domestic" and "industrial-strength" should not mean choosing between different degrees of risks of failure.
It’s interesting to read people like Marx when he was writing about the class society he lived in because you can see how much the bottom has fallen out of the middle. He describes the specialist artisans who are capable, sometimes, of upward mobility into “petite bourgeois”. Not much directly translates in the “middle” class any more but this resonated for me. We are kept happy but slowly we are becoming less and less capable of owning.
Yeah I started off only playing hard mode until they threw in a SHA?E word. Then I realized it's only hard because it isn't fair.

This is a good idea. I've had two employers with "unlimited PTO". One of them explicitly set an expectation that I was expected to take at least 4 weeks per year. And it wasn't in writing, but everyone was told this, so there's "witnesses" which is better than nothing. This actually worked really well, and everyone seemed to take an appropriate amount of time, but no one was explicitly keeping track or expecting you to fill out paperwork just to take a break.

Another employer said you needed to talk to your manager and justify time off with regards to results, and the timing of your break, relative to releases, etc. In this scenario I hardly took any time off, but folks who clearly didn't care about their manager took SO MUCH. Learn from me, though: they never gave me the promotion I was chasing anyway.
Edit: Apologies for being slightly off topic here - this was meant more as a response to a comment elsewhere on money creation.

I've been keenly interested in the subject of banks, debt, and money creation ever since I picked up a book on the subject of debt around 2006. I really appreciated having a (very faulty but nonetheless useful) mental model to apply when trying to make sense of subsequent events. I sometimes like to think that I saw the GFC coming, but was probably just primed to see how precarious our debt based financial system had become.

With my local (NZ) housing market once again appearing to be on the brink of big changes (many are suggesting a crash), my interest has been piqued again. Looking about at what is out there that can help me make sense of what's going on I rediscovered a nice little interview (from our friends at RT no doubt) that I'd recommend to anyone trying to create their own mental model to help them understand the fascinating, frustrating, and confusing reality of banking.

1 month ago I bought a new Chromebook[1] with N4500 Celeron CPU that turns out to apparently be fanless (fanlessness is literally an unadvertised feature of this device). I'm typing this reply using it, with many dozens of browser tabs open, and it runs with nary a hiccup, and its battery life is insane (currently 13% battery w/estimated 2h35m operating time remaining, and based on my past experience that estimate is very credible).

With a good BVH, the time to render an image becomes O(k*logn) where k is the number of pixels and n is the number of primitives (triangles). This scales with scene complexity better than anything the raster APIs have done in the past 50 years. The issue has always been a largish constant factor and ever increasing resolutions.
True yeah. I was just thinking of other sorts of “high qualification” high paid trades which require lots of investment to create.
People joke that things on the internet last forever but I have witnessed so many things come and go and totally disappear that I doubt exist anywhere anymore. Its just a complete fallacy.

By that I mean that this page would also list a "RequiredForBasicFunctionality=true" syntax:

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty clear that "unlimited PTO" is... not. It leaves judgement in the employers hands, rather than in a written agreement.

Seems to me it's a way of removing contractual obligations for PTO from the employment agreement and turning them into something that is fundamentally at the whim of the employer. While it's saying "you can take as much as you want", it also does not contractually enshrine anything, and there's nothing on the books to pay out at termination time, either.
It's battery powered and you only feel this numbness while operating it, on the hand you are using it, not the rest of the body. It stops once you turn it off. My girlfriend also commented on the heat, but it doesn't travel a distance other than 2-3cm, so it may be just the heat the chip/battery generates.

It also seems to be a common complaint among buyers: newer generations (like some Bebird devices) advertise a "non-heating chip" on Alibaba.

Just commented in case anyone out there tried one of these devices, they are usually not SAR rated at all and don't seek to meet industry standards, plus Wi-fi is a bigger deal than Bluetooth, otherwise everyone would be complaining about their bluetooth in-ear headsets.
