One, most US companies don't own their buildings - they lease for the tax advantages. It comes down to capital expenditures vs operational expenditures. They're happy to reduce OpEx, but it's not like it's a billion dollar windfall.

Two, satellite offices often aren't any more convenient for commuters, and often don't save as much money as you expect. You have to duplicate infrastructure in more locations. My son worked in Manhattan. His coworkers lived in Connecticut and Long Island; travelling to Brooklyn or New Jersey wasn't substantially easier for them. Even commuting between adjacent boroughs can be a pain if mass transit is oriented around getting people from the suburbs to the city core.
Free mapping existed before Google Maps.

Mapping isn't the hard part or the expensive part, the hardware is. Smartphones have GPS and when people started getting smartphones, the value of having a separate navigation devices went to zero-ish unless it's built in to your car or maybe some low power thing for wilderness exploration (or having a boat or a plane or that kind of thing)

Oh thanks, I have an idea about why that would be the case. Not sure if I'll be able to fix it, but logged it here: https://gitlab.com/vincenttunru/obfuscate/-/issues/6

We are cloud FinOps experts, helping our customers to reduce cloud spend using innovative commitment trading techniques. We have several internal products, and we are currently building a new customer-facing portal.

We are proud of our culture of openness and transparency with an emphasis on learning. We operate autonomous self-organised teams, and we value everyone’s ideas and opinions. We do a lot of pair programming to share knowledge and experience. We currently work fully remote, with occasional visits to our London office for collaborative work that helps us get to know each other better.

We seek enthusiastic developers who either know or would like to learn Clojure. We currently have a diverse team of nine full-stack devs, but we have plenty of front-end and back-end work, so we can accommodate people who have a preference.

According to an article[0] in a follow meeting, Elon said:

Is it legal to just assume someone resigned rather than fire them? Especially if that user is still logging on and doing their work remote.

Wake Up and Smell the Modafinil (2017)
IMO the trend of loss of jobs to automation or offshoring is unsustainable and we are already seeing the cracks forming in the fabric of society due to it. Maybe that is why some people are trying to "reset" the way the world works.
TomTom also tried to sell GPS fitness tracker watches but they weren't any better than competing products from Garmin, Suunto, and others.
I've seen it a lot outside of physics.

Obviously, what word they use for it is arbitrary but it's indicative of an actual problem - they're all totally cut off from the software engineering / CS community. Lots of them think programming is like learning to juggle or ride a bike or something, a skill that anyone just learns and then they're done. Then, obviously, they make major mistakes that invalidate their conclusions and nobody notices or cares because it's all student code, all the time.

I'm a full-stack software engineer comfortable with both frontend and backend technologies. I am seeking a remote fullstack or backend role.

Recently, I built QMantis, an open source observability tool for GraphQL APIs, built with Node.js, OpenTelemetry, TimescaleDB, and leveraging Docker for deployment. Read the technical case study here: https://qmantis.co/
> Because supply has been depressed since the Great Recession: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/HOUST

These are very interesting and useful stats, but I'm not sure how it follows that newly created units going up and down at various points in time proves that the supply has been depressed. Can you explain how the supply is being artificially reduced? In some areas like San Francisco I suppose, there's a hesitance by many to want to build denser high-rises and building is a challenge to push through, but I'm not sure what else you might be referring to here.

> Meanwhile, population growth over the last two decades has been the lowest since the Great Depression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_the_Uni...

The growth rate might be lower, but because there's a finite amount of land near cities, the problem might be that this is one area where absolute numbers matter more than rates because it's just physically tougher to build more units in a time period even if more laborers are available. (and this is even assuming that the census figures are anywhere close to accurate, which I'm not so sure about)

> there is demand for cities.

Of course many people want to live in cities for jobs and other perfectly valid reasons, but I'm not sure how this argues the point that illegal immigration doesn't have some sort of effect on the overall housing market. All other things being equal, a larger supply of people would have some sort of effect on the price, right?

Sorry about that, I should have been more informative.

Bunnyshell makes it easy to create and manage environments. (EaaS - environments as a service)

You connect your k8s cluster(s) and git accounts/repos, it reads the docker-compose files and creates deployments on the cluster.

You don’t need to know or write Kubernetes manifests, those are created for you.

You also get auto updates and ephemeral/preview environments (when a PR is created against the branch of your env, Bunnyshell deploys a new env with the proposed changes).

You are not restricted to creating resources only on the cluster, you can use Terraform for any resource that is external to the cluster ( like S3 buckets, RDS instances, anything Terraform can handle).

Hope this helps,

Why does everyone want to sue everyone these days?
See now that sounds entitled to me. They don't need a roommate to get by, unless of course they want to continue living at the edge of their means like they are right now. It's the sum of their choices that make that money disappear.
FWIW the rise in women working has increased individualism and requirements in men pre-dating, which partially reflects in RE (more individual space, less families).

This doesn't mean women working is the problem, rather we should've thought harder about what measurements should've been taken when introducing women into the workforce. Several countries are now "fixing" this retroactively, though more so to give women a fighting chance rather than actually helping out workers as a whole (e.g. forced paternity leave).
Tragically for those of us who got into this career because we loved coding on our own, this is absolutely true. You've got to have another hobby or downtime thing now to keep yourself sane and somewhat well-rounded. Some coding in free time is okay, even good, but there's got to be more than that. (I think the correct balance will vary per person, so find your own sweet spot.) I also recommend having something physical like gardening or a sport in your regular rotation.
I know you were around way back then so you probably should remember it took a bit to bring clang to feature parity with gcc. There was a lot of excitement that Apple was involved in the work, and it really did get there to the point where FreeBSD, among others, could switch to clang full time.
It's a result of people generating content solely to cater to Google's algorithms and accumulate ad and referral revenue. The internet changed significantly because of how Google indexes and ranks content. The proof is in the pudding... results for product searches are dominated by SEO referral link blogspam. Entire careers and businesses that didn't exist in 2006 have been built around this.
Because if the board is oxidized you may well blow the parts right off the board... (don't ask me how I know ;)).

So use some pressure but don't overdo it, you won't get the last out anyway like this that will happen during the drying phase but at least you'll get the bulk of it.

Also: there may be a lot of very subtle damage that will only show up later: moisture pulled into wires due to capillary action, switch contact corrosion (inside the switches, so invisible), contamination by stuff dissolved in the water, mechanical damage due to swelling and so on. Water damage is pretty nasty.

Differentiating screen size/quality may be part of the issue. Most would want HD and purchase at least the Standard tier. However, that may give them more screens than they need, leaving them wanting to avoid waste and share with friends or family.

Looks like they started offering 'extra member' add-on.

California Court Rules Bees Are Fish
The capacity nosedive from having kids goes away as they grow up and become independent. And the coping skills you learned to deal with having less energy become almost super powers once your energy comes back. Likewise, the skill of having dealt with children through all ages and stages makes it easier to relate to difficult co-workers. I'm not saying work is easier once your kids are older... but your capacity to manage the work and deal with challenges definitely bounces back higher than it started before having kids.

So I'd say follow your dreams early, or follow them late. Just don't try them at the same time as raising kids.
Well now I wonder why I assumed that you were a participant? I've got some thinking to do about that one!

I plan to rename my copy of calendar.txt to yesterday.txt. Each morning my plan is to write something about what I did yesterday with a view to extracting themes - perhaps like not making assumptions about the roles people on forums might have. I'm thinking some code words might emerge like '$ScreenTime 3'. But I'll see.

Planning: I am actually a teacher in adult education so we operate on pre-determined timetables for each class. I have a document called a 'scheme of work' which I use to plan what happens each week in a given class with space for a bit of a note after each session about what actually happened. Schemes of work are 'working documents' - they change as the year unfolds. My life in general just lives on a (paper) calendar on the notice board in the kitchen.

Thanks for your work.

You wrote: <<if you can find a higher-level abstraction>>

This a stretch, but to me Kubernetes is like the C programming language for infra. If you look at the entire software stack today, drill down (all the turtles), and you will eventually find C (everything goes back to libc or a C/C++ kernel). I assume any commercial (or non-!) "higher-level abstraction" for infra is already (or will be soon) built on top of Kubernetes. I am OK with it.

I write this post as someone who is uber-techincal, but I know nothing about actually using Kubernetes. I can do vanilla "hand-coded/snowflake" infra just fine in my constrained, private cloud environments, but nothing that scales like Kubernetes.
Would you mind sharing a screen of your board? I just tried reproducing what you described, but was unable to do so.

It's crazy how the cycle of human ignorance just keeps repeating itself.

"Inflation isn't happening, you're just spreading misinformation! Everything is fine!"

"Inflation might be happening, but if it is, it'll only be transitory and not as bad as our detractors suppose it will be!"

"Inflation is happening, it's transitory, it'll be over soon!"

"Inflation is happening, it's not transitory, and we don't know how long it'll last."

"How do we start looking at fixing this inflation problem? Spend more money!"

The economic power of the individual in small, tighter-knit communities/countries vs the influence and economic power of conglomerates competing in the global market is a David vs Goliath-tier battle that was lost a long time ago. Countries/businesses who survived by running lean, trying to keep things local, etc - have been priced out by the power of the global conglomerates and governments trying to get a piece of the pie.

Inflation is such an insidious tax - it affects everything and just domino effects into absolute chaos if mismanaged.

Your bank account is worth x% less.
Your wages are technically worth x% less.
Companies trying to stay afloat or maintain/exceed profits year over year will raise prices of their goods (store cost/"shrinkflation" of packaging) to try and lessen the blow of higher transportation costs, etc.

Not sure what the solution is other than something similar to what the french did to their ruling class hundred of years ago - I don't condone violence at all, but it seems like it's getting to a tipping point where some bolt is going to finally shear or the last straw will land on the camel's back.
Selecting both scale and rotate options results in:

Multiple -filter, -af or -vf options specified for stream 0, only the last option '-filter:v transpose=1' will be used.

-vn, -an, -ss, and -to are specified as output rather than input options, which are much more efficient.
I used to work for TomTom maybe 10 years ago.

I was there when Google started offering turn by turn navigation for free. Other issue was live traffic information. As you might imagine all this caused some concern among employees because that was, I think, the main source of revenue for the company.

They were already doing some other stuff like fitness wearables but they didn't seem to be leaning into it.

Main idea for staying in business, since you can't compete with free, was to go deeper into cooperation with car manufacturers to provide builtin navigation in cars. They were already doing it back then, I think, but they've seen their salvation in capturing bigger part of that market.

I was a software developer there, employed in projects pretty far from their core business, but I learned there a lot about how companies become corporations why they can and do run like a headless
chicken, spilling money left and right. It's basically about survival. Company becomes a corporation when it randomly discovers a gold vein in the economy. For TomTom this gold vein was maps on portable computers. This gold vein brings in absolutely insane amount of money. Then this money needs to be spent on doing a lot of unrelated inefficient discovery work wasting huge amount of money so they have a chance of finding next gold vein before shifting sands of economy and human development burry the original one.

From what I see shared in this thread, TomTom still haven't found their second gold vein.

Maybe I should get hired there again. A lot of my friends from other jobs work there now. I never seen from the inside how corporations die.
In Sweden, they have no labour laws. But they also have no restrictions on unionization. A proper free market! And it works pretty well.
