Some of us were already remote before the pandemic, of all the industries software is among the best suited for WFH
Many CODE-CWA organizing campaigns are pushing for salary transparency in their collective bargaining agreements.

Typically, this will take the form of a salary floors for a given job title. Ideally, the agreement would specify that this floor be part of any job posting. But if employers push back against that, the union can always publish the salary floors they've bargained at a particular employer.

Quibbles:

- Documentation: is ALL over the place. I do not find it excellent. There is LOTS of documentation but due to naming (.NET framework != .NET Core != .NET Standard != .NET [current]) you can find solutions that just don't work in the version you're in. Blogs are often the best source of details, but you have to have great search-foo to find the right one, and like stack overflow these won't age well (especially with the new rapid release cycle). There is documentation, and lots of it. *Warning*: On the MS official docs you can set the .NET version (with a drop down in the top left).. however if you try and visit something outside of that version, it will take you there and silently switch you to the last version where it was valid.

- Improvements: are great, they see what's happening in other languages and incorporate it. .NET might not be the first to have (although sometimes it is: `async`) but eventually gets the best solution to a problem (`Span` is rather like `slice` in golang).

- Cross platform: is very strong. Doing it the cross platform way is completely subject to the documentation trap above. A lot of the docs out there are for .NET Framework (the OG, which is not cross-platform) so you start off down the wrong path not realizing there's a cross platform way. This compounds pretty quickly.. if you're building cross platform, setup automated cross platform CI early.

- Testability: It seems you have not discovered `InternalsVisibleTo`[0], available as both a class-decorator or a project assembly attribute. It's been around since .NET Framework 2.0 (2005). Very much like the C++ `friend` declaration. You can allow a test assembly (only) to see private/protected/internal pieces of your assembly, if you desire.

- .NET (formerly .NET Core): Is great. Faster, leaner, and their future. Subject to the documentation trap above. Because of their rapid releases (and good comparability guarantees not forcing upgrades), it can be really hard to find good examples/docs of the newer releases.

There are problems with remote work. An employee of a California company is working remotely in, say, Illinois. He sits on his chair in the morning to do his regular work at his desk at home. The chair collapses; he is injured. He files for worker's compensation. His company paid no premiums in Illinois, no coverage. Will California cover an out of state injury? I don't know.

Second scenario. The California employee decides to work in Mumbai. Why not? Cost of living is lower and relatives are near. The employer then gets a tax bill because it is "doing business" in India. Or the ED VA. Or anywhere the employee decides to rent an apartment.

These issues have been put aside during the force majeure pandemic {in war and plagues the laws are silent, or at least, temporarily shut up} but a return to normalcy now means there is no more force majeure excuse.
I try to disguise it a little to avoid the awkwardness, and also put the recipient into the subdomain instead of sender name. For example for grubhub I'd do:

No need to remember anything because it's all in a password manager. I've found this worthwhile, already blocked a couple spammers.

You could also go with something fully random, you still get the same benefit. It's easy to look in your email history and see what you originally used the email address for. Password manager obviously required though.

Former head of product for OpenSea indicted after insider trading scandal
That's a very outdated spec. The size requirements were removed in the current spec.
You mean like AWS' EKS? That spares you kubeadm stuff in setup. Arguably complicated upgrade, because you're less familiar with what you have/need/rely on (their own upgrade docs point you to upstream changelogs/release notes etc.). You're still left with a kubernetes cluster to deploy stuff to, decide how stuff scales, etc., which is a lot of what is generally meant by 'DevOps' anyway?

The lower level infrastructure/platform/kubeadm type stuff isn't really 'Dev' related at all.

Perhaps this is a condemnation of how poor indoor air quality is in most schools (and office spaces) more than anything.

While there are plenty of studies showing efficacy of masks in indoor environments, we're barely recirculating air in indoor spaces to the point where CO2 levels become a major problem for cognition.

The combination of proper ventilation and air exchange plus masks should be the real winner for prevention of spread.

Last year we released QuestDB 6.0 and achieved an ingestion rate of 1.4 million rows per second (per server). We compared those results to popular open source databases [1] and explained how we dealt with out of order ingestion under the hood while keeping the underlying storage model read-friendly. Since then, we focused our efforts on making queries faster, in particular filter queries with WHERE clauses. To do so, we once again decided to make things from scratch and built a JIT (Just-in-Time) compiler for SQL filters, with tons of low-level optimisations such as SIMD. We then parallelized the query execution to improve the execution time even further. In this blog post, we first look at some benchmarks against Clickhouse and TimescaleDB, before digging deeper in how this all works within QuestDB's storage model. Once again, we use the Time Series Benchmark Suite (TSBS) [2], developed by TimescaleDB,: it is an open source and reproducible benchmark.

We'd love to get your feedback!

No it's like insurance, you are paying a premium for reduced risk.

Virtual Pricing Director | Remote | UK preferred | Full-time | Full-Stack Engineer | £70,000 - £100,000+, plus stock.

We're a well-funded scaleup (no VC money) building the future of legal pricing, for small and large law firms alike. Our workflow and data management software means an end to overcharging clients, arbitrary pricing, and other bad practices that have existed for years.
Our two directors are recognised world authorities in this domain, and bring a number of signed firms ready to use our software. We're off to a healthy start, busy preparing to deploy to one of the world's largest legal teams.

The work is varied, challenging, and we place equal emphasis on front and back-end. Because of the need to deliver scheduled features, fix bugs, and respond to the needs of newly onboarded firms, we're looking for someone who relishes lots of hands-on work, contributing across the whole stack.

Our app is powered by React, with Apollo Client for its GraphQL queries and mutations. It leverages Ant Design as the UI framework, upon which we build a mixture of UI components; some simple, some complex. On the back-end, we're using PostgreSQL as our RDS, TypeORM as our ORM, TypeGraphQL to define the API schema, and Apollo Server to deliver the GraphQL.

Both our front and back ends are coded in TypeScript. We believe in end-to-end testing and have therefore used Playwright to handle an automated E2E test script which runs before deployments.

You'll join us as we begin to roll out our product to some of the top law firms, and in time to help define, design and build the next two roadmapped modules, and to grow from there.

If this sounds appealing to you, email our person handling applicants at: vittoria at virtualpricingdirector dot com

No, I mean SPL[1]. The linux devs definitely don't want a proliferation of porting interfaces mucking up the kernel tree, so unless the OpenZFS devs want to work on a Linux specific port, I don't see ZFS getting mainlined regardless of the licensing issue. CDDL certainly doesn't help to make this happen though.

Also "Empty threats are void" is a silly stance to take; betting that nobody who will own copyright to code in the CDDL is going to sue anytime in the next 80ish years would be dumb even ignoring the fact that Oracle owns copyright to at least some of that code right now, and they are quite litigious.

Both the share of the population with any student loan debt and the average student loan debt to income ratio consistently goes down with increasing income (even though the average student loan debt itself goes up with income until you reach the top decile, which has lower average student loan debt than the next highest decile.)

No offense but I don't think it's minimum wage workers who are putting tons of money into the crypto market. And my argument about who doesn't understand 401k is to the demographic who invested in this specific asset class which likely isn't minimum wage workers.
I am currently reading Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry of the Future" and these seem like a great thing to have in the future, when heat waves might be so extreme at times, that they threaten survival.

I do this and my biggest regret is that I cannot easily check haveibeenpwned.com to find out if any of the accounts have been breached.
VS Code, while not a fully-fledged IDE, is really good at suggesting code completions across platforms. As others have mentioned, Rider is also a wonderful fully cross-platform IDE (better than Visual Studio at some things).
The way I typically approach this personally is to have a batch script that kicks off a couple "trial" encodes that run with "medium" quality (which will run reasonably fast) and then once I've identified an appropriate CRF value then I run a final encode with "placebo" quality.

Once I have identified a target CRF then I just apply that value to all similar files. I'm personally not concerned about exact size, I'm not squeezing them onto discs or anything, so having one file be 690mb and the next one be 695 mb is fine.

Contrary to the name, and contrary to popular belief: yes, placebo does still improve quality noticeably even over veryslow, when you are squeezing bitrate very hard. Actually typically you will get a noticeably smaller file than medium/slow (10% reduction is not atypical) and the quality will be better than veryslow. This applies less when you are giving adequate levels of bandwidth but when you are really squeezing the bitrate to the absolute limit (I've been known to use values in the CRF 31-37 range at some times to really go hard), going deeper into motion search yields more benefits. Like, you probably could still benefit from going even farther (placebo is just a preset tuning some motion-search parameters and you could tune them even higher).

At a minimum, veryslow does produce very significant quality gains over medium even if you don't want to go all the way to placebo though. Worth it for archival for sure.

And typically, the situation where I'm hand-tuning a file to hit an exact file limit... are ones where I'm seriously pushing the limits in terms of what I can fit into a given attachment-uploader file size limit or something. So when I am targeting a fixed file size I am almost always squeezing hard.

There's no perfect solution to avoid the trial-and-error process though, imo. Automated solutions can produce something reasonable but not optimal in terms of exactly hitting your filesize limit at the maximum possible quality. Tuning it down to the last MB, or deciding to resize a video to give a bit more motion bandwidth, isn't something that they can generally do.

Personally I don't worry about audio too much - 160kbps AAC or MP3 is fine and anything too far below that starts to get potentially noticeably poor. If something has DTS or AC3 yeah, I'm transcoding because nothing will play that on the internet, but if it's reasonably close I'll just copy source to avoid generational losses fromt anscoding. Yeah, sometimes a reduction in resolution can produce big gains with little noticeable quality gain... and sometimes (especially with anime/cartoons) a high-res file has so little high-frequency data that going big barely affects file size at all. Tune mode can also help a little bit at the edges.

I never mess with framerate or bit depth/color space unless I absolutely have to, though. Too many pitfalls there.
