> The worsr thing you can do is come in with that attitude and expect the team to be onboard. You will only alienate yourself, try to understand why things were done the way they were (never architected but put together piece by piece over time). Make them feel heard and and pace yourself with any changes.

Yep, I agree 100%, the last thing you want to do in this situation is piss off the three people who know how this thing actually works.

IMO the real thing OP needs to decide is whether he's willing to fix the whole thing himself or if he wants (needs) the existing devs to help. If he wants to go it alone then he can take any of the advice given here and do whatever he wants. But, if he wants the team to help then his main priority is to understand their current processes and how they get things done, and then look at where more modern practices can be introduced to improve things for the team and get them to buy in.

Sure he said their "resistance to change is huge", but mine would be too if someone joined my team and determined literally _everything_ needs to be changed immediately (even if it's completely true). I would bet they would be much more receptive to realistic suggestions after you get an understanding of their process, gradually building towards a better one. And if they're not, then OP should probably just go look for another team/job. It seems pretty clear that 'actual' management doesn't care about this (which is to be expected, I mean they apparently have a functioning product bringing in 20m) so as much as it sucks the situation is what it is.
I don't think that's true. In fact movie producers are notorious for "phoning in" the 5.1 mixes for the streaming platforms, focusing most of their energy on the theatre mix with Dolby atmos and what not. Usually the 5.1 mix you get on netflix is hurriedly put together as an afterthought.
It isn’t something with “ceasing to exist” as one of its symptoms, no.
If you need a law to dictate what is “economically desired by society” then it’s a fib. It would be economically desirable you’re just blocking that activity arbitrarily, if it wasn’t economically desired you wouldn’t need to block it, it would just naturally not exist.
If two or three companies owned 99.9% of the restaurants in the world, then we wouldn't let them reject customers willy-nilly. If we mandated that Facebook and Twitter break up into several federated instances owned by different companies with no entity controlling more than one, like we did with Ma Bell into the Baby Bells, then your argument would apply to them.
Talk to your customers first. What do they need? Are they willing to pay for it? I wouldn't bother building an MVP until you've done that first.
A massive number of people don't have anything other than the speakers included in their TV. The next massive percentage of people maybe have a sound bar, maybe with an included subwoofer.

A tiny, minuscule, microscopic percentage of consumers will have an external receiver. Maybe they'll have 5.1 on that. Maybe they'll have 9.2. An extremely small fraction, practically a rounding error, will have higher than that.

Most of my extended family is decently well off in the US. Among a dozen or so households, I'm one of I think two with an actual receiver, and I've only got a 5.1 setup. A few have a sound bar on their fancy movie watching setup. Most of my friends rely on the included speakers on their TVs. Its just not a priority for a lot of people, even people with enough income to afford vacation homes and boats and what not.
Airless tires made with NASA tech could end punctures and rubber waste
It's about generations and what they are taught, not academic ability. I'm 52, have a doctorate, and only barely know cursive myself. Why would anyone expect young people today, raised from birth on computers, to know a frankly obsolete way of expressing text?
You missed IANAL, and it’s obvious that you aren’t. Your claims here may be true where you live, but they certainly aren’t universally true.

IANAL either. But I do know that in most states it doesn’t matter if it’s your own time and your own PC. In California there are exceptions, I if your work has nothing to do with your employers business. Washington State has fewer exceptions but there are some, IIRC (but remember IANAL).

Also, if this project does relate to your employers business then quitting won’t solve your problems. You will need to quit and then do no work on it for six months, typically, to be free of the their legal ability to claim they own it. And regardless, they can still sue you: the six months break just gives you a better negotiating position.

If this project has any value, consult with a lawyer.
> populated by two probes launched by a civilization of sentient creatures.

I've been to parts of New Jersey, and proving it's civilization, let alone sentience or any form of self-awareness may be eagerly disputable.
It's not as pretty but forward mode AD isn't that many lines even in C
IANAL

My understanding of this, even in states that aren't as protective of California, is that:
1. Companies aren't interested in your IP, unless it is very closely related to their core business
2. The burden of proof is on them
3. Courts are sympathetic with the individual over the company for this kind of thing

Because of these points, companies try to paint the picture like they own all things you do, as a deterrent, or so that you give them your ideas for free. In practice, their position is at best tenuous / hard to prove, and at worst simply invalid (e.g. in states like California).
The point of arenas is usually to not care about ownership for object graphs that are allocated in the same arena, and to avoid immediate destruction for said objects.

The typical pattern is to create an arena whose lifetime is the lifetime of some important operation in your program (say, serving a single request or processing a single frame), do all of the logic of that operation via simple allocation in the arena (ideally bump-pointer allocation), don't free/delete anything at all, then when the operation is finished, just free the arena itself (or don't, and reuse it for the next operation by just resetting the pointer).

This implies, or at least allows, a very different style of writing C++ than usual - no need for tracking ownership, so no RAII, so no constructors or destructors, so no smart pointers.

Of course, you can also write this kind of code with RAII and smart pointers (with nop destructors for non-resource objects), using placement new to construct objects inside the arena and so on. But it's not necessary, and some find it easier to avoid it.
I don't think wedges are a problem anymore. The last 5 seasons have had almost no wedges. The article says they solved the problem by requiring a real active weapon.

But an uneven floor would likely cause mayhem for the massive amount of centrifical force these spinner bots have. Some bots might be able to handle it, but many would not.
I suspect you would not make this argument if the prospective employee were a four year old child and the service to be rendered was sweeping your chimney. But according to what principle do you distinguish the two cases?
Google "climate change". Google "green energy". Google "decarbonization". Read up on them at Wikipedia. In the time you wasted typing up complaints, you could have become informed.

Wasting your own time is foolish. Wasting others' time is an offense.
> How do monetary donations translate into votes?

For precisely the same reason that advertising works: people in general are susceptible to psychological manipulation, subtle or otherwise.
If you have no market signal, I can tell you now this idea will probably fail, so I would just get on with it and learn from the experience. You’ll be in a much better place to move forward. In general, don’t get hung up on stuff like this.
I do, haven’t written about the company portion yet because I’d like to learn more myself. I feel like I have a lot to learn. [username].com for maybe one useful article. :)
Don't tell your employer. Don't incorporate until after you've quit your job. If you want to launch before quitting your job, consider using a merchant of record (e.g. Paddle) so you don't even need to incorporate.

I'm assuming you're not competing with your employer, nor are you building your startup on your employer's time or with your employer's resources, in which case there's nothing wrong with this approach ethically.
And inverted you wants your time forward
That option actually works great for resurrecting the speech in a movie, but makes all the music utterly flat and boring. With this option on you might as well throw out your expensive speaker setup and use the built in TV speaker.

If only there was a hotkey to toggle it on and off, instead of hidden 4 levels down the touch-and-swipe menu.
I think Gavin Newsom can take on DeSantis. Don't know who would win, but it wouldn't be a blowout.
May I see the full list of vulnerable devices? I have several of those.
I wouldn't change the structure. Purify the codebase into pristine 2003 php, with a sane toolset. You'll learn all the quirks of the problem code as you do this.

When you've got a clean base, the team will be moving quicker, be more skilled with what they already are learning and listen to you. Then you can consider the structural changes.

Pure, clean 2003 php into a new format is way easier than spaghetti nightmare into total re-write.
It is fairly well-known, at least in the bodybuilding community, that BMI isn't accurate for fairly muscular people. It's a good first indicator for a majority of the population, that's it.

That said, the range that BMI defines as overweight is 25-29, and your BMI is 25.1. So while, yes, you are technically overweight, it's by a tiny margin. And you are nowhere near being obese.

> sometimes I even question the validity of the entire obesity epidemic.

That is... unfortunate. You haven't just been the discoverer of the issues with BMI. They're very well known and talked about. The researchers studying things like the obesity epidemic obviously know about them.

Besides, as others have said, just look around. In most places it's not hard to see that many people are overweight or obese.
This is a solution looking for a problem.
Not sure if this helps, but if I were you, I’d:

* Create a git repo from the code as it exists

* If the other team is still doing things live, create a workflow that copies the code from the prod server to git as-is nightly so you have visibility into changes. Here’s an opportunity for you to see maybe what the team gets stuck on or frustrated with, and you can build some lines of communication and most importantly some trust. You can suggest fixed and maybe even develop the leadership role you need.

* Get a staging instance up and running. If I had to guess why the team does things live, maybe the project is a huge pain to get sample data for. If that’s the case, figure out the schemas and build a sample data creation tool. Share with the team and demonstrate how they can make changes without having to risk breaking production (and for goodwill - it helps prevent them from having to work evenings, weekends, and vacations because prod goes down!)

* PHP isn’t so bad! Wordpress runs a huge chunk of the web with PHP!

* tailwind might be a cool way to slowly improve CSS - it can drop into a project better than other css frameworks IMO

* Pitch your way of fixing this to management while quoting the cost of a rebuild from different agencies. Throw in the cost of Accenture to rebuild or whatever to scare management a little. You are the most cost effective fix for now and they need to know that.

If you want unlimited categories (aka Zero shot classification), then CLIP does a pretty good job. I'd be a bit surprised if it can't run on a Jetson, although I guess RAM might be an issue.
"Inside a store is not the same thing".

Social media is not the commons.

The internet is the commons.

Social media platforms are the stores.
The biggest problem isn't even the codebase in this situation.

When you keep finding bugs like that while refactoring and making things better, it will demoralise you. The productivity will stop when that happens.

It also require above average engineers to fix the mess and own it for which there is not much benefit.

Your refactoring broke things? Now it's your turn to fix it and also ship your deliverables which you were originally hired for. Get paged for things that weren't your problem.

If I was a manager and assigned this kind of refactoring work, I will attach a significant bonus otherwise I know my engineers will start thinking of switching to other places unless we pay big tech salaries.

People keep quoting Joel's post about why refactoring is better than rewrite but if your refactor is essentially a rewrite and your team is small or inexperienced - it's not clear which is better.

Parallel construction and slowly replacing things is a lot of unpaid work. Just the sheer complexity of doing it bit by bit for each piece is untenable for a 3 person team where most likely other two might not want to get into it.
So client side moderation like Usenet?
I think you're oversimplifying over a few important nuances:

- That cable will arrive in two months, and a future cable is less useful than a present cable.

- The marginal value of 5% of your house's space is worth far less than the average value of your house's space. This is in part because you can't easily end your lease, find somewhere 5% smaller, rent it for 5% less, and teleport your life there.
If someone is desperate enough to steal food for their child, I'd rather have Kroger write off the loss than see a kid go hungry.

I can't bring myself to think that the other outcome (Kroger saves $3, child good hungry) is the just outcome.

Should we have great social safety systems that prevent anyone from going hungry? Yes. Do we? No.

So in the absence of support and safety nets, I'm just not going to fault anyone who is dealing with the stress of "my child is starving but I can't afford food" and decides to pocket a couple containers of mashed carrots and peas.

Persuasive article, but I don’t go around discussing literary or film criticism from Trump’s speech writer or gardening tips I picked up at the last KKK supper club.
Similarly Mr. Seid donated his company, didn't sell it. NYT says he got "an enormous personal tax windfall". Yes, the charity he donated it to then sold it. Does a person's tax windfall status depend on what the charity does with the stock after donation?

I guess you could say that NYT's position is:

* If the charity sells the stock, we'll consider the donor to have gotten "an enormous personal tax windfall".

* If the charity holds the stock and instead collects dividends from it for a long period, we'll consider the donor to have gotten "no tax benefit".

I don't think that's a logical position though. For one thing, what if the Patagonia-owning charity decides tomorrow to sell the stock? Does NYT retroactively go back and say the Chouinard family actually did get a tax benefit?
Great game, more levels and maybe a countdown for animals that will eat other animals (and end the game) if they are left on the same pad for too long.
I made the same assumption and didn't even try putting the dog and rabbits together, but I completed the puzzle (at least I'm pretty sure I didn't overlap them, there was a lot of back and forth)
I'd view it as 12 years of experience and data gathering upon which to build a really stellar rebuild with all the lessons learned ;)
All of the heavier metals on earth came from outside of the solar system (such as, for instance, Tungsten). How much of the ore deposits on earth do we attribute to extraterrestrial technology? I'd wager none.
The link has many examples.

Gig companies must not be deceptive in their claims to prospective gig workers about potential earnings, and they must be transparent and truthful about costs borne by workers.

The FTC will investigate evidence of agreements between gig companies to illegally fix wages, benefits, or fees for gig workers that should be open to competition. The FTC will also investigate exclusionary or predatory conduct that could cause harm to customers or reduced compensation or poorer working conditions for gig workers.
Personally, as someone who wrote only in cursive for 4 years of my life, I find that cursive is significantly slower and more cumbersome that print.
There are so many fascinating stories about real things that happened. So much that was lost. It's always stunning to read these stories, or things like Marco Polo's travels - people really could travel thousands of miles and see things and survive? There was all these intermixing of cultures that it's hard to account for in the modern world.
Ah, you are correct and I was wrong. I had looked it up, but didn't realize that the multiple different sources I looked at all seemed to count the entirety of Russia.

In hindsight, it should've been obvious that Europe (~10 million sqkm) couldn't have 1 billion hectares of forest coverage.
Interesting. A lot of study group I joined dried out. But maybe there are better ways.
Do you live near mountains? Join a mountaineering club and take their classes. I was an instructor for years and it became a sort of a joke that the intro courses were transplants looking to make friends.

You’ll meet people involved in a wide variety of mountain sports. The bulk is climbers, skiers, and mountain bikers but a lot of unlikely overlap in paragliders/BASE jumpers (want to hike further and higher) and kite surfers for some reason.
For all we know it's a car auction website and it selling 500 $40,000 cars.

Like the company actually buys the cars and sells them. $20 million revenue, cost of goods $18.5 million.

For all we know this website could be replaced with eBay or a cheap car dealer SAaS website.
I actually have <space> mapped to : in Vim precisely because it's easier to press.
I think the problem of platforms growing into a cesspool stems from the anonymity that people have on those platforms. Posting anonymously should not be protected, the platform should be OK to take down content that is anonymous.
If you are registered (and I know this sounds like the Chinese system and probably violates some other freedoms or rights so makes it even more complicated) then your expression is protected (within reason which I mentioned above). The other problem I see with this idea is that LinkedIn is is not anonymous and the crap that people say on Linkedin blows my mind to the point I sometimes wonder how they can still be employable - it is not completely full of bad stuff, but the really bad stuff sticks out and I don’t remember all the good stuff on there. I guess LinkedIn is ok when compared to twitter or 4chan.
The idea that online platforms that have protected expression will grow into a cesspool is sadly probably just a reflection of our society.
I am pretty divided myself on this issue and on the registration I am not entirely comfortable with it but could live with it.

If you haven't won the geographic lottery then...

You can burn coal like there is no tomorrow (see Poland)

Or gas (see Germany, and most of Europe for heating), and enable Russia and other undesirables

Or nuclear and have energy security without directly and indirectly causing death and suffering for millions
You can also use it with NFC.
I'd wager almost all shoplifting has nothing to do with organized crime. You'll get the occasional junkie trying to steal and then sell something moderately expensive like laundry detergent, but mostly it's individuals taking a crime of opportunity for themselves. At least it seemed that way when I worked in a grocery store for a while based off our inventory and security.

A couple blatant alcohol grab and runs by homeless alcoholics, a couple small luxury items like a nicer cut of meat that someone didn't want to pay for, small items like candies or toys, and a couple necessities or staples like loaves of bread (and I do feel bad for anyone stealing cheap bread).
Rewriting little by little just means: each time you make a change, leave the source base at least a little better than you found it. Leave a few comments about the thing you reverse engineered. Delete a little dead code. Eventually you get the confidence to move from the lowest hanging fruit to deeper refactoring. You do it because that approach may be the best you can do with a rotten source base within your time and resource constraints,
What I want to know is, is this actual software sold for $20 million a year?

Or does this software "facilitate" $20 million of revenue, instead of generate it single handedly.

What if were talking about a car sales website that 'generates' $20 million in revenue via selling 500 $40k cars?
13.5 million household in America were not able to secure enough food to meet their needs last year.

That's about 10%, or about 30,000,000 people.

If we had social safety net programs that solved food insecurity, I'd think different. But when one in every ten people can't get enough food? I'd say we don't really have safety nets or of we do they have huge holes in them.

I do, and I have to agree with the parent. The only time I ever read cursive is the occasional note from my grandparents.
Typically random writes must first set a parity in doubt bit. In HW RAID that doesn’t require an additional write to a metadata location, but is instead maintained in some nv memory. Similarly, a read modify write in software raid-5/6 have some poor trade offs. It’s common for a random write to perform a read of both the destination location, as well as the parity. This is followed by a write to the destination blocks and the parity blocks. What happens if power loss happens on the write? Maybe you get a torn page. HWRaid can protect against these surprisingly common failure modes. There are file systems which aren’t impacted by these failure modes, and software raid would be fine, but anything performing random writes, HWRaid has its place.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where there isn't much severe weather, but spent a few years in Atlanta in my 20's, where you get tornado warnings.

After about a year in Atlanta, I was able to predict a tornado siren going off about one or two minutes ahead of time nearly every time. All I know is that I'd be going about my business and, of out of nowhere, the air would feel different. I can't explain it any better than that, but it was such an obvious feeling to me and blew my mind having never been in that situation before.

Most home theater systems are in a home where the noise floor is significantly higher than a theater, which the audio mix was targeting. Dynamic range compression is often appropriate and when applied correctly improves the experience in homes.
Could i add my slight tangent tip. Sql(delete,updates etc)

I got into habbit of writing my sql as

'zdelete from product where id = 123;' and THEN i remove the prefixed-z.
