Really large tech companies with truly massive codebases (especially monorepos) often need custom tooling to build things, so “ Being able to build the project on your own machine is pretty much mandatory because if you can't build locally then e.g. IDE autocompletions does not work because there is no working compile_commands.json.” isn’t always true.

Facebook, for example, uses a highly custom version of VS Code (was: atom) that talks to a server for each developer. The devbox contains the repo and is mostly prebuilt because trying to check out and compile a codebase that is easily 20 times bigger than a linux distro just isn’t feasible on a laptop.

So long as there is a well resourced dev productivity team in the company, whatever they use for a huge codebase is likely fine.
Early 2000s, new boss came in and mandated we'd be using Lotus Notes going forward.

Yeah, no. Bye!
I see multiple upvoted posts that the pay is based solely on "cost to hire your replacement".

But in some companies, after they decide to make an offer, it will be "how much to get you to accept". So that wouldn't be a function of their options so much as a function of your options.

As to how the calculus changes when it comes to retention, in your company, I don't know.

(Tech companies overall are famous for being good at luring talent (e.g., huge pay bump from current place) but bad at retention (e.g., small raises that don't track with market and value to the company). Hence the common practice of job-hopping frequently, and all the long effects that might have on software engineering practice (e.g., resume-driven development, and people not around long enough to see how engineering decisions play out).)

Do you trust your manager to deal with you in good faith, to have your best interests in mind, and to represent you competently with the company machine? Maybe see whether your manager thinks the company is paying what the processes (not necessarily individuals) implicitly think is what they can get you to accept, rather than what it would cost to hire and retain someone who could provide as much value to the company. If it's the former, see whether that sounds exploitative to you and your manager. If it does, maybe manager can look into whether something leadership wants to reflect upon, and see whether it can do anything to improve that.

> The filtering behavior reported here is either misunderstood or misrepresented. First, no, no major ISP (Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft/Outlook, icloud) is going to permanently block an IP range; filters are designed to be dynamic. In severe, ongoing, high-volume spam scenarios, you could see a 2-week block, maybe occasionally 30 days. But never "one strike".

You say you're knowledgable, but I also ran my own email server for a couple of decades, and gave up for precisely this reason. Maybe this is even true, but when you're trying to get mail sent, YOU NEED THE MAIL SENT, and you can hardly wait 2 weeks or a month. Besides, your email server is going to give up and report it as undeliverable by that time. So you have to do the legwork to get off the block regardless of how long the "bigs" have the timeout set to. And that's happens so often, and is so onerous, it's not worth the hassle any more. Like many others here, I could have written this article.
1. My stock options had vested completely.

2. New VP on a conference call extolled the virtues of 8051 over cortex m0.

Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time.
Well, we agree that "cheaper labor" is desirable because it's more profitable to the company right? So let's apply transitivity to your first paragraph:

"The only reason the company hired someone overseas was to make more money. They would not have even considered these candidates if they weren't hugely more profitable. Instead, the company would have hired from the local labor market instead."

Yeah, what you are describing is practically the definition of exploitation of labor by capital, and alienation of the worker from the value they create.
A lot of people in my environment are in fact getting sCOP of 4. Bit better in fact: close to 5 in the group that also installed floor heating everywhere.

Note that COP around freezing is almost always the worst due to frequent defrosting, so yes, COP is worse at -5 most likely. You can replace COP with sCOP in earlier replies of mine.

What is true is that most people, including installers, don't know how to tune them very well, or forget to combine them with low temp radiators/ floor heating. Too high a T_out also occurs frequently.

In the Netherlands, heatpumps have been standard issue in new construction for a decade now, and 4 is about the average. It's very much not imaginary, but hard to believe for people from areas used to wood and oil burning ;)

The mechanism of action for Tylenol is mostly known and regardless it is not uncommon to have medicines with an unknown mechanism approved (e.g. gabapentin).

Furthermore, the mechanism of harm you quote is not, in fact, a known one. Frankly, I can’t tell where you pulled that from. The primary mechanism of harm is liver damage from prolonged use.

Finally, the association with autism is still under debate and I see several possible confounding effects in the current research.

Then why not keep the plant online until solar is running. Increasing energy costs will affect the poorest and most vulnerable. There’s no pressing need to shut down the plant sooner than its replacement is ready.

> Doesn't that same logic apply to KiwiFarms itself though? They too have historically lacked any kind of regular moderation.

Actually, I think there seems to be a misunderstanding of the nature of Kiwi Farms. I think people are tending to confuse it with a 4chan type forum, one that that is generally unmoderated.

Kiwi Farms has always had consistently good moderation.

Threats of violence and harassment have been instabans for a long time. Really, any attempts to interact with the subject of discussion are worthy of at least being reprimanded by moderation, if not a ban.

The site culture held by normal users (not just mods) is of a "look don't touch" approach. The people being discussed are interesting for their natural behavior on social media; it's less interesting when they're being prodded (at least not by the forum itself).

Occasionally 4chan types approach KF as if it's another imageboard, but there's some big culture clashes and they generally don't last long.

Bay Area companies hire in the Bay Area, for the same reason companies are founded in the Bay Area to begin with: because most of the VCs in the US live in the Bay Area. And Bay Area investors care a lot about having a package of colocated staff "human assets" that put an acquihire-based floor on the company's acquisition price.

Companies that don't operate from the Bay Area, almost never hire Bay Area remote workers; and companies that are headquartered outside of the US, almost never hire US remote workers. Precisely because they cost too much, for a company that gets no advantage from doing so. (Source: we are a Canadian company; we hire from everywhere but the US.)
Yeah, it is unsurprising since even another security researcher knew that all of TikTok's user data is being harvested on Alibaba Cloud which that already got breached resulting in a 900GB file being dumped somewhere as they collect the IMEI numbers of many users as found in the Android app. From [0]

> We at Penetrum believe that everyone should have the right to know what data is being harvested by companies and would like to give our readers a clearer understanding of what happens when you download the mobile application TikTok. From our understanding and our analysis it seems that TikTok does an excessive amount of tracking on it’s users, and that the data collected is partially if not fully stored on Chinese servers with the ISP Alibaba.

For it to happen again. Hardly shocking and very expected. But as always the TikTok fans rushing here, panicking will do anything to deny the breach and after examining the contents, sample(s) of the breach, it looks highly legit.

> Making Bay Area offers to rural candidates is giving them 4-5x their next best option, which is characteristic of either a) the devil, or b) rich people making expressive displays rather than business transactions.

No? If you budget to hire two employees at Bay Area salaries and don't care where they work, you should pay them Bay Area salaries regardless of where they work.

Plenty of companies do this. It's fine. I don't see anything devilish or expressive about paying all your staff the same wages.

> I will add that if you think calibrating an offer based on the worker’s alternatives is crass

I think you're foolish if you don't expect a worker's alternative might be in the Bay Area salary range in the year 2022.

> Even a mediocre SWE salary is way too high.

It's not. The dollar-value delivered by a mediocre SWE has been significantly high for a long time, often orders of magnitude the salary.

I literally couldn’t have maintained my self respect if I hadn’t handed in my resignation letter immediately after all that, even if I was actively looking for another job.

best wishes and hope you're doing ok... but on the bright side, it's not even close to too late.

1. Your excuse here is not good enough to debunk this excuse. Cost of living is a general cost for people living in that location. Family support is not available for everyone. If you move to this location, you will not like if they use family support as an excuse.

Location pay also affects the amount of taxes to be deducted.

2. I do not understand this. If your manager thinks you are not as talented as your juniors then you have to find a better work place.

3. Again, this seem subjective. However, you are sounding like you do not have any option. If you do then use it, if not then be grateful for what you have,
Because coal plant retirements (and the coal deliveries those plants require) are planned quite a bit in advance. Average electric bill will go up $15/month (~4%) in the interim (not trivial, but also not catastrophic). It’s a political issue to subsidize that unexpected short term cost, not a technical issue to keep an aging plant running.

Energy transitions aren’t easy. There will be missteps.

(I would agree the local and or state government should provide support for low income electric users impacted by this until rates come back down from more renewables online pushing out oil generation; cut the utility a check and define the means testing)

Well lately Japan is talking about pushing for more nuclear power, but it's only been very recent. This hydrogen crap has been going on for quite some time, mainly pushed by Toyota I think.

> you might find that the company is willing to pay more because they want a given skilled worker to be co-located with the team

That's making a big assumption — that the team is in an HCOL area, such that "colocated with the team" is synoymous to "costs more."

There are a lot of companies who are headquartered in LCOL areas of the world; but still do location-adjusted pay, such that they might be paying someone working remotely from an HCOL area more than they pay the local team.

> Before that one, I tried the opposite: a more “bottom up” approach. I know I need to, at least, read a CSV, parse a CSV row into some data structure and then categorise it. So I TDDed my way through to complete these “sub problems”. However, when I was about to apply the categorisation rules I realised that the data structure I created didn’t help, was just bad and didn’t work at all :).

I think what would have worked for you is to write a test for the categorization, but feed it pre-parsed data structures in the tests. If the data structure is wrong, you will find out now. After that works, you have decided on a correct data structure, and you now can write code to read and parse CSV into those same data structures.

It’s all a matter of practice. If you do things in the incorrect order, these things can happen.

iOS Safari supports Web Extensions for a year, but does it useful for adblocker? It lacks WebRequest API (from the beginning of Mac Safari).
In New Zealand an employee is usually contractually required to give notice, and there is a default of “fair and reasonable” notice. However I would guess it is very unusual for an employee to be significantly penalised if they do not work their notice period. Even though an employer may legally be able to seek damages (not exceeding employee replacement costs), that doesn’t look common to me. Employment in New Zealand is mostly a moral, reputation, and trust based system.

A company cannot withhold an employees pay or holiday pay. An employee contract can override that default so that a company can withhold pay. However the employee can override the contract by simply writing a letter to the employer.

I'm not sure what the context of the original quote is. It really all depends on what is meant by "maintain" and how you define things that affect wikipedia.

To give a small example, if WMF pays for some swag for an event to promote minority groups to edit wikipedia - that's not what i would call "maintaining" wikipedia, but i also wouldn't say its money not going to wikipedia.

Unfortunately, we dont really have a fine grained public breakdown so its hard to really see.

Anyways, i'm mostly objecting to the idea that some other wikimedia project is getting more funding than wikipedia. By and large wikipedia is the favourite child and the other projects are ignored (except maybe wikidata, but wikipedia still way outweighs wikidata).

> Source: we are a Canadian company, and hire from everywhere but the US.

I don't follow. This isn't true at all in my experience, plenty of companies in Canada and the US hire across Canada and the US. It's practically the norm.

If you work for a Canadian company that doesn't hire in the US then you're comically underpaid. Wages are converging very fast. Many companies are paying parity and frankly folks are selling themselves short if they don't fight for parity.

I think modern medical ethics demands a physical treatment for literally everything and anything that's discovered, including quite a few that either aren't physically dangerous (e.g. atypical brains) or are inevitable (a 90+ year old with a laundry list of conditions). And, as other comments have pointed out, a panicked surgical response to a mammogram isn't based on time series data.

I totally understand and agree with trusting that medical professionals "know better", but I also would not conflate current practices with absolute perfection. It's clearly not a perfect profession or practice.
