A lot of times, after I get a product, I disagree with the WC review on many points about a recommended product and have to end up returning it. That said, I still use it to inform my purchase decisions.

Anyways, how specifically is it "highly flawed" though?
No. What I am saying is that if you are genetically predisposed to aggression, histone modifications and DNA methylation might inhibit that aggression.

If you’re not genetically predisposed to aggression then beating your kids might have the opposite effect.

The answer is if you’re aggressive focus on fixing yourself and don’t worry about your kids.
> That's a private matter that has no place in a classroom

While I agree that kindergartners may be too young to receive sexual education, I disagree that sex, sexual orientation , gender identities have no a place in the classroom. At least starting in Middle School it’s important to educate children on the realities of the world they are going to see that will include all of these things. I can at least point to Health and History as two subjects that these topics will be relevant in.

Not using Jira is a red flag for me, and I won't work for any company that doesn't use Jira. The reason is, Jira is so standard at this point, if a team uses a non-Jira product, they must have an overly powerful CTO or team lead who rules with an iron fist. Sure, it sucks, but working under such conditions is worse.
This is pretty impressive, all on its own:

"The Mullvad team has been using Qubes in its day-to-day operations since early 2015. It allows us to compartmentalise and isolate activities with different security requirements, such as server administration, software development, and password management."

I've tried Qubes out a couple of times, I found it was good at what it does. As an average developer working on business software, I didn't really feel a compelling need to stick with it in my day-to-day.
What's wrong with Bugzilla?
Can you elaborate, why you chose Ubuntu?

Alpine with lbu[0] seems like a perfect fit and looks IMHO less experimental. Also you can provide backups straight via iPXE[1].

Nonetheless, kudos for the slim ubuntu image :)

His point was applying smart contracts to old libraries and new music. BAYC is a different approach as they use the NFT is an access token vs. art work, in my opinion.

He’s in PE so he’s probably looking at this from a particular lease, which isn’t the wide adoption folks are hoping for.

Guys you forgot a period. It says:

"For us Qubes is an important tool in our efforts to make censorship and mass surveillance ineffective. If you're concerned with the security of your computer, then you potentially have a lot to gain from using Qubes.

When it should say

"Qubes OS is free and open source."
Just to be clear, I didn't say you had problems with it: hence the "even if" preface.

However, calling tumblr "dead" as a result of it does seem to imply such a problem. Their business model was ads, that doesn't inherently exempt porn in any way.
Personally, I don't wear jeans much and they're the last thing I'd bring for lightweight travel. There are lots of synthetic trousers that are super lightweight and easy to rinse out quickly.
This also includes being very, very, very upfront on whether your "remote" is:
a) real, honest 100% remote,
b) 100% remote unless you are within X miles of the office, in which case it's hybrid,
c) hybrid that your management thinks is "remote",
d) "remote until..." which means you will be called back into the office at the C-suite's whim, or
e) on-site unless you are sick or have to meet a repair person at home.
> You're ignoring the reductions/eliminations of other taxes. For example, replacing property taxes with LVT is the usual "first step"

I’m not against replacing other taxes with LVT. I’m against the misapplication of tax authority for purposes which are not subordinate to covering the cost of governance.

> The private ownership of land is itself theft from the commons, and is itself the product of state power and authority.

No.
The problem is you're adamant on using these platforms. The Internet exists outside them and still works fine. In fact, Google and Chrome are a bigger danger as they can force people to do whatever at the very point of entry to the Internet. Smart Kants.
I didn’t say you can pay for enterprise pricing because okta is expensive monetarily. I said it’s because oktas UX is terrible and only enterprise companies would force that on their employees.

I like how things are confusing enough to need this distinction, but also we still don't know if you're talking about actual seniors and not principal engineers
Doing anything like this through AWS just seems needlessly complicated.

I don't know what it's like on other cloud providers, however. Perhaps GitHub pages makes that niche too tough to monetise.
If you can afford $30+ per month you can probably afford to finance a new M1-based Macbook (or even better/cheaper, a desktop PC) that would blow the "blazing fast" performance out of the water, right?

Single-core performance is obviously not a top priority for server CPUs, but is as far as I understand it very important in a browser context, where JS runs in a single thread (with certain exceptions like workers, etc.).
It's interesting to note then that the top-of-the-line AMD EPYC processors, which Mighty advertises that they use, have single-core performance scores of 2400-2900 in PassMark's CPU benchmarks while the cheapest baseline M1 used in the old Macbook Air scores a 3762. It even has the same number of total cores for multi-threaded tasks! (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html)

Same thing with the RAM, while it's perhaps the most appealing part of the proposition, it's basically a commodity and 32GB is not outlandishly expensive for your own device (especially in the desktop space).

All the other stuff is basically free if you know how to download Chrome extensions and don't live in a place with bad internet infrastructure. Not to mention the myriad privacy concerns.

Mighty is perhaps very unfortunate that Apple decided to develop and release the M1 when they did, if they never had I can imagine this offering being a lot more appealing for semi-technical creatives stuck on old Intel MBPs (which seems to be the target audience?)
> Benefits and salary are good (though salary isn't posted in the ad)

“I understand that most people are interested in working to exchange labor for money to support their addiction to food and shelter. But we don’t post how much money we are willing to exchange for said labor and I wonder why I can’t get qualified candidates who are interested”

Does that about sum it up?

And on top of that you expect me to do a take home assignment as a “senior” employee when even public companies that offer cash and RSUs (not lottery tickets - ie “equity”) only require a 5 hour interview loop?
I don't get the analogy. Can you break it down for me?
Im not sure that “Unions slow innovation” is true.

As a counter: in tech, its the workers that generate a significant amount of value by writing software and building products. Giving them more control and a seat at the table can be useful in encouraging long term investments in lieu of extreme short term thinking that VCs typically promote.
> To the OP: if you believe your comp bands are competitive, why not share in the posting itself?

Leaving that out makes it clear that the post was made in good faith. If I thought the submission was just a job ad in disguise, I might have flagged it.
I don’t think I agree. The world gets really confusing when you take costs into account. Try buying a phone charger. The $5 one might be overflowing with 5 star reviews saying how great it is for the price, but it’s just crap. Likewise the $100 one that’s amazing but some 3 star reviews for “too expensive”.
Huh? Individual actions do matter. The fact that he got on these flights contributes to the overall demand on flights, and has certainly had an impact on how many flights need to exist. The argument that not all people can fly every 2 weeks is nonsensical.

This is how American companies work now. They believe it's better to ask forgiveness than permission, and view fines as the 'cost of doing business'

Came to the comments hoping to find some solid Jira alternatives "the community" recommends. Sadly not the case. Instead this is my take-away:

* Jira sucks big time, and people hate it.

* There are no other tools that do what jira does, that doesn't also suck.

* After trying Jira alternatives that suck worse, folks move away from the Jira sucks camp to no-longer minding using Jira.
The article ends with the author saying the results were non-surprising. While I agreed with the author here, we disagree on the need to publish this.
Additionally, people's associations with Jira are not strictly related to the software itself.

Jira is often the domain of PMs, management, and other leadership; if you have bad people / product leaders, you're used to Jira being a source of great stress.
But neither supports a markup language AFAIK. They used to support Markdown but they dropped that long ago and never replaced it. Now the only choice is their garbage WYSIWYG editor.

First you say 'news' but then you say 'news/content'. I assume you mean like political parties and left/right politics, and not any topic that's political, since discussions of personal privacy and control of information flow, like this post, are political.
Government protecting property is regulation: it's literally saying "if you touch X, which we consider to be owned by Y, we'll hurt you". It's that regulation that allows people and corporations to accumulate property (and, in particular, capital) indefinitely, knowing that however much they have, the government will intervene on their behalf.

Now imagine the government saying something like "we don't consider X owned by Y; Y already has too much". This isn't regulation per se - nothing is regulated, and there's less enforcement, not more. The government isn't going around taking things away; it's just refusing to recognize X's claim and enforce it.
I get the impression that a lot of Software Devs buy into libertarian philosophies.

I think this is changing though. There’s a lot of people working in tech and with the kind of abuse that’s been reported (ahem, Amazon) we might see that change.
You are right to be dubious.
Better have one happy person vote for you than having two unhappy persons voting for your opponent.
This conversation was explicitly about licensing. I don’t know enough of the technology to know how feasible that is, however.
Web3 isn't blockchain.

Blockchain just one potential category of technologies or set of implementations. Web 2.0 was not defined by its technologies or implementations, it was defined by its value proposition. So, forget blockchain... at a higher level, Web3 is going to be about ownership.

Billions of people gave Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, etc. value by creating the content that made those products useful. Web3 still has a lot to workout, and as much as blockchain is trying to co-opt web3, it may not be a part of it in the end -- but the people who create the content will get paid this time around. That is what will define Web3.
"Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files."

From the description of the project it doesn't seem running from a dedicated hard-drive partition is an actual goal of the project. I don't know that making choices which don't support a non-goal of a project are questionable.

It works great for my use case of booting from a USB drive and I very much appreciate that it exists.
I'm in between jobs at the moment and a lot of people here are commenting with some very reasonable hiring practices that I actually haven't seen out in the wild yet. From what I'm seeing, the take home assignment process is getting out of control.

The take home assignment process seems to vary wildly between different companies. One place wanted me to complete a take home assignment that was estimated to take between 30 - 40 hours. Another startup had me come in for a 3 hour interview, and then asked me to take home assignment after the onsite interview. Hard pass.

I think I still prefer the take home assignments over the leetcode misery. But, candidates like myself will quickly find themselves having to pick and choose which ones they want to complete because some are just asking way too much.
Thanks, Prop 13!
I have both the Wirecutter pick which I've had for 7-8 years and the Förnuftig and I stopped using the Förnuftig after 2 months because it doesn't have a pre-filter and once dirty/filled, it cannot be recovered without replacing the whole filter. It also seems weak—the room can remain dusty indefinitely with it on. The Coway filter is just night-and-day more capable.

That said, in 2012, IKEA sold an amazing year-long-capacity-no-maintenance fiberglass German "Flimmer" filter like the ones they use over-head in their stores to keep products dust-free. That was incredible but wasn't marketed well and its replacement filters were discontinued in 2015: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/05/garden/sure-it-purifies-a...
They have an iPad app now. Makes it easier to switch server but aside of that, no major advantage over WireGuard app. I use WireGuard app since it can auto connect on wifi or cellular.
Mullvad is badass, tried it out for a month and it was glorious, so I just recently pre-paid a full year.
> A one pass, 60 minute interview with the CEO and/or CTO on the call tells me a lot more about the kind of company.

Depends, if I had this, I'd think, why is the CEO spending time in an interview instead of running the company? Sure, it's part of their job but after a certain scale of company size, it makes me think they must truly be desperate if the company is bringing out C-level executives to interview.

He's implying that if the energy efficiency is a primary cost driver -- e.g. worth even discussing in the context of affordable housing -- then it would take a long time to break even fiscally. Assuming it's 50% is just a little bit of hyperbole.

There is no idiom "road to hoe".

Your Pollyanna view of consumer electronics and appliances is at variance from the reality. Are you by chance Libertarian?
I would love to know what your superiors think about your hiring process in your company. Where did you said you work ? G. ?
That sounds like you feel pretty helpless. Personally, I find that I have numerous avenues of negotiating power, even without unionization:

1. Do I recommend the company to my network? I can make it a lot cheaper or more expensive to hire.

2. How do I spend my time? All my technical choices will make certain changes easier down the line, and others harder. I work hard to understand the business context & help those choices serve our shared goals, but the emphasis there can be on "shared".

3. How much do I streamline my own work? I can work efficiently, or I can wait for that build to finish and that PR to be approved and merged before I move on to the next thing. This can be a particularly effective way to incentive investment in a platform team & build tools, if I'm not allowed to just fix them myself.

4. What do I collaborate on with my coworkers? We can pick priorities we care about, and negotiate together for specific improvements. I've gotten more vacation time, better computers, bigger screens, paid on-calls and time to fix bugs all just by talking with people about what's hard about our work.

5. Insisting on pushing improvements to open source software upstream if we are going to use the libraries at all. The company could decide it wants to write everything entirely in house, but as long as we are using open source software I personally only make changes to it that we are going to push back to the community.

And I am sure there are more: those are just the ones I've used recently.
There's a bunch of reasons:

Someone already said it, but using the same English text in two different places often needs different other language text, and that's difficult if the English is your key.

When the English text changes, but the meaning doesn't, you may end up with English instead of the old translation (depends on your system).

If all your text should be ids, you can switch to a ZZ (or something) locale and should see all translation ids (or user data), and if you don't, you know you missed tagging something.

If you do want to fallback to English (or any other language) at runtime (or build time), that's something you can do without needing to have your translation keys be English text. Ideally, I'd want to have a three level check --- do I have the language and locale, if not do I have a default for the language, if not let's go with a default language (unless lang=ZZ as described earlier); but reality sometimes means you need a list of languages that aren't present but should be substituted with something close-ish. And sometimes you end up building a language picker because users may not want to use the system language in your application. i18n is a lot of fun.

The web?

At that point the question becomes one of search space and what real-world data that information ties to.

If Eve can determine the basis for which an account is identified, and there is a small number of subscriptions,[1] then the namespace may be exhaustively searched.

Mind that even if the resulting hash space is large, if the key space is small, the search is tractable. Just look for a resulting valid hash.

Even if a payment is required, if $0.01 is accepted, the cost for testing 1 million keys is $10,000. For a sufficiently high-value target, potentially reasonable. More so if you can create your own money.

Notes:

1. For computers, any value < 10 billion is arguably small, and quite possibly somewhat larger than that. The present human population is < 10 billion. The Mulvad subscription list is all but certainly <<<10 billion, where '<<<' -> "very much smaller than".
> Written by the people of India through their democratic process. It's not a mystery or of questionable legitimacy.

India has an illiteracy rate of nearly 1/4, and one of the highest among adults on the planet: https://world.time.com/2014/01/29/indian-adult-illiteracy/

I HIGHLY doubt that that segment of Indian society had ANYTHING to do with the writing of any laws.

Likewise, it's doubtful they were minded as the intended primary beneficiaries of such laws when they were written by a minute segment of the remaining 3/4 of Indian society, keeping in mind that many members of that remaining 3/4 ALSO complain of systematically-rampant corruption.

BART (and all subways in the US) costs $2 billion per mile to build a few years ago (somebody posted a while back BART + other subways recent construction costs), probably close to $4 billion per mile now due to inflation and higher materials costs

There are some good ideas in there, but it doesn't really address the hard parts of syncing, such as handling items that were deleted, or arrays of items that changed order.

In other words, an API that is good for syncing needs to communicate what changed, not just the snapshot of the current state.
