Bingo. Now imagine living in fear because of a particular government body's overreach. You can clearly see that this can and will be abused based on political bent. The exceptions are the problem. Remove them. Require all rules have a 180 day waiting period.
Because I don't need it. I learned how to manage Linux servers in the early 2000s and that works for me. Docker on a VPS is ridiculous and wherever you find Docker you inevitably end up with Kubernetes. If I had a massive fleet of servers to manage I just might need containers but I'd probably try Chef or Puppet first. Docker is like React - designed for the needs of a global-scale internet company but now sprinkled mindlessly over sites which would be well served by a static site generator.

I agree with you.

And seeing datacenter after datacenter shooting up like mushrooms, there might be some sort of abstraction running in this direction, that makes 128bit addresses feasible. At the moment 64bit seems like paging in this sense.
Agreed. Just noting that drawing down your ammonia storage to run ammonia synthesis for sale would make no sense. But an aluminum plant might reasonably burn aluminum powder to keep its furnaces hot, when spot price peaks.
I wonder if there’s some kind of side channel leaking the ad targeting data, for instance if you type something into WhatsApp and they add words that you type into a user-specific autocomplete dictionary (or your lexicographical profile or whatever other aggregate they keep for various business purposes). Then they use those aggregates to target users based on the words they use in conversation without “decrypting their messages” so to speak. Depending on what phone you use, any custom keyboards, etc there may be other ways for typed text to leak.
What if I use the same prompt? Anyone has any idea? I assume there is not precedent yet?
Technically, you should have gotten shares in the company when they hired you.

Having this conversation 2 years later is not going to be easy. You have little leverage to get them to move on that front. Maybe if they refuse ask them for increased comp and start looking elsewhere.

Good whistleblower. Contacted a US Senator and got the word out. This is a good use of the system.

Can you provide a reference for the framework you’re using?
I really wish I could figure this trick out. I envy people who are able to say this. Having gone through multiple burnout angry mood swings over the last few years, I would love to be able to do this.

My basic problem (I think) is that I get bored of this disposition. I like to be creatively engaged. But it’s 8+ hours of 5/7s of my waking time!! I don’t spend anywhere near that time sating my appetite, and my hindbrain wants to be the “breathing specialist” on the team, so I cede that to him. I just struggle to go on autopilot and do the disengaged worker bee thing, watching the day go by, caring only as much as needed to deliver nominal output. Every time I try this approach to save my sanity, the “newness” is cool for a couple of days, and then I find myself gradually reinvesting again, because 8 hours of “it doesn’t mean anything to me, I’m just sitting here wiling the time away pondering what interesting things I might be able to do in the scant remaining non-work hours” robot mode just bores the heck out of me and sucks my soul dry.

If you’ve got advice on how to get to this mode that doesn’t involve an IV drip of alcohol induced euphoria, I would love to hear it.

As others, I would not recommend a full rewrite.

But first, I'd take apart some assumtptions:

- this code generates more than 20 million dollars a year of revenue

This is GOOD!
Thsi means this project is important.
There WILL be budget for this.

You need to find out two things:

1. What is the PROFIT margin?
2. HOW does this generate revenue?

If you can increase profits (or promise to) by either making it easier to generate more revenue (onboarding woes of new customers / sales UI, etc) or a bigger margin, you'll be golden.

- it runs on PHP

This is not necessarily bad, check ylour code wars at the entrance.

- it has been developed for 12 years directly on production with no source control ( hello index-new_2021-test-john_v2.php )

THIS is one of the things that need to be remedied - source control NOW.
Get a professional course on git for all devs, add some nice dinner for teambuilding.

- it doesn't use composer or any dependency management. It's all require_once.

This needs to be adressed.

- it doesn't use any framework

This needs to be adressed.

- the routing is managed exclusively as rewrites in NGInX ( the NGInX config is around 10,000 lines )

This needs to be adressed!!!!!!!

- no code has ever been deleted. Things are just added . I gather the reason for that is because it was developed on production directly and deleting things is too risky.

Source control should take care of some. The rest is on you sitting with the product manager to find out WHAT is the core, what needs to be removed, what features need to be kept.

(bunch of horrible code smells that ALL need to be adressed.)

- team is 3 people, quite junior. One backend, one front, one iOS/android. Resistance to change is huge.

OK... if the team is junior, you need to lead.

And WTF is an iOS / Android developer doing in your team?

- productivity is abysmal which is understandable. The mess is just too huge to be able to build anything.

This business unit has a pretty aggressive roadmap as management and HQ has no real understanding of these blockers.

YOu need to sit with business and make them understand the blockers, the challenges, the timelines, AND the opportunities that your solutins will bring.

And post COVID, budget is really tight.

No it is not. See above.

You're talking about electricity, I am talking about replacing the entire energetic demand. That means fuel for ICE vehicles, ships, etc in addition to all the fossil fuels used purely for heating.

What Cyprus, Romania and other states do internally is not so interesting - every state is selling electricity for outrageous prices internationally, so it's not really something we'd want to rely on.
A simpler protocol to realize that the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is probably what's happening:

- pick said topic, something you never cared about before, talk about it but don't write any messages containing it;
- for 1 month record every ad you see about it;
- send a message about the topic;
- for another month, record every ad you see about it

Comparing the number of occurrences will tell you what is happening.
So you want to hire some engineers?
I think you already know the answer because of the way you're asking the question. If you think you're underpaid on a salary basis and you don't have any large compensatory benefits like equity it just follows that you're underpaid.

Whether you make the difference up in equity, cash or something else is up to you but generally you could consider equity or some cash performance/bonus option.
If you want to get an indoor air filter to clean up the toxic air that enters your home, I recommend an industrial solution. Go down to your local indoor growing shop and check out the carbon filters that the pot growers use to scrub the weed smell.

Get a filter like this: https://indoorgrowing.com/collections/vortex/products/profil...

And pair it with an inline fan to match like this: https://indoorgrowing.com/collections/vortex/products/vortex...

That gets you 400CFM of air cleaning power for ~$500. (you can get this stuff for much cheaper used as the margin on indoor pot growing has tanked)

Compare to a "designed for the home" air purifier like this:
https://oransi.com/products/mod-hepa-air-purifier

Compared to my proposed industrial solution, the air purifier costs $100 more and is about 1/4 the CFM. The only pluses are that it looks pretty and is roughly 2/3 the DBA when running.

Yeah unfortunately as other comments noted, you're wrong. It's nice and noble that you care about climate change as we all should, but this problem isn't that simple. Wild fires are part of the Earth's natural cycle in some regions and interfering with that has consequences.
Your question is stated like you would expect to get shares as a compensation.

From my point of view - if someone hires CxO employee - deal is that they have to buy into company with money and company has to sell them shares.

Vesting and compensation is for engineering employees.

If you are not founder having shares and you did not buy shares on joining - you are not CTO they are bullshitting you, full stop.

You are just engineering manager at best. As not being shareholder is equal to not having any executive power in the company.
1. Cheating in online chess as a teen is a factor, but not that strong. Also, the details of cheating are still private, so we can't rely on that. BTW, chess.com belongs to Magnus, partially.

2. It's normal for teens to have jumps in their development.

3. I watched his explanations, they are not that great, but not unreasonable either.

4. They played a couple of weeks before, with the result 3-1 for Magnus [1]. Magnus lost the first game and won other 3. Magnus losing to Niemann wasn't something extraordinary in general. Also, a player can have much better morale while playing with a King, it simply gives more motivation.

5. Magnus hinting cheating accusations is certainly a new thing. But refusing to defend his World Champion title this year is also a new thing. I guess he started to feel way too entitled in chess. Also, all this affects his position in chess business, since he owns a lot of it. He is not just a player anymore. It's a conflict of interests.

I think an ESPP is a reasonable compromise, but not sure how that works when you're not in the public market, I've not worked for a startup. Want equity outside of what was offered when you were hired? Put your money where your mouth is if you believe this company will be worth something.
I don't think end-to-end encryption means what most people in this thread thinks it means. Yes, it's encrypted between devices. However, when I open Whatsapp on a new device, it pulls all my message history for the last 5 years. I wouldn't be able to do so without the keys. So to facilitate that, they must be storing the keys and sending them over on their end.

And if they have the keys then they can still read your messages!
I was at this meeting.

Seriously, Googlers are the softest, whiniest people I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. We are coddled and spoiled and at the first hint of not being spoiled, people are falling apart and crumbling.

One person had the nerve to say Google was “hurting” employees by taking away the travel and entertainment expenses. Hurting? I couldn’t believe it when I heard it.

Another characterized Google as “aggressively cost cutting.” Holy fuck. All they did was freeze hiring and stop unnecessary T&E. If they think this is aggressive cost cutting, their mind will be blown if a recession hits is hard.

I wish Google would go through the Meta route and lay off 15%. I’ve never worked with a lazier, more spoiled group of people in my life.
This is a false dichotomy. One can both take data into account and go with their gut after having evaluated such data. But data, by it's very nature, is rearward looking. It is really dangerous to become a solely data driven person/organization.
These laws just make no sense to me. First, a website is a website is a website. Whether it's Google, Facebook, or your granny's knitting blog. You can't just say because one website has X features of interaction and Y number of unique users that it must be handled differently than others as it makes the delineation arbitrary and flimsy. There has to be a basis to say Facebook must be given extra supervision by the state that makes it clear that Facebook is not alone in its own functionality. If Facebook were made the special case then it leads to making convoluted laws that are hard to decide on.

Second, as some have already said, this is the wrong level of the Internet to manage such a concept of common carrier. Facebook isn't in the business of actually routing data between two points on the internet. Facebook handles internal data on its own internal networks that connect up to the core of the internet which then that core connects to all the edge networks (consumer facing ISPs). This approach is better as it means there's no arbitrary singling out of one provider over another (Comcast vs some random rural co-op) due to political climate. Everyone gets the same process, everyone has the same burden or benefit.

Third, this is all political theater in an age that frankly doesn't really make sense to me. How is this exactly going to get the core voters of Republicans out to the ballot box? I just see this as over the top nonsense.
Did you view the apartment with…?

- the agent present
- you both had smartphones on you
- they both had bluetooth data enabled
- they are both signed into location services
- you'd added the agent to your contacts or they add you to theirs
- you took pictures (and didn't strip the EXIF data)
- you exchanged emails with the agent via gmail
- you rang each other via a VOIP service
- you used a map app to find the place
- you found the apartment via an online listing
- you found your current place some multiple of a standard contract length ago (e.g. 1 year)
- your data in aggregate statistically matches that of other people's who also looked for new apartments

The metadata just drips off and they sell it, it's repackaged, bundled up and sold on to others who then target you (personally or as part of a group) in their ad campaigns.

Yet your conclusion, spoken as if it is a universal truth, is wrong in many instances.

There have been numerous events of a concealed weapon holder killing an individual intent on a mass murder event that's just getting started. They generally get zero media play because they don't fit the narrative of gun -> bad.

Regardless, telling people they can't choose the means with which they can reasonably defend themselves is authoritarian and evil. Nobody can guarantee safety, thus, nobody can rightly deny the right to defend oneself how best it seems to them to do so. Some dangerous circumstances are unfortunately common which do not wait for the police, let alone courts.
I don't like this.

The first problem is Factorio is not coding. Some kid can come in, not know anything about programming, but ace the interview on the level of a "Senior" developer because they knew how Factorio worked.

The other problem, and arguably the bigger one, is that this really only works for Interns, Juniors and Mid level engineers. Once you get to senior you start specializing and that's what truly makes you "senior" in a space.

If I came in to an interview for a senior position and they had me play factorio? I'm honestly not sure if I would keep taking this place seriously. Like don't you guys want to know about the stuff I have worked on? The stuff I have previously built? Are you really going to take all that experience, throw it out the window, and hinge your hiring decision on how well I do in a video game?

Personally, if a place interviewed me like this I would be a bit insulted and probably not call them back.

I would think by now any bunch of clever people would be trying to fix the generalized problem of supporting n-bit memory addressing instead of continually solving the single problem of "how do we go from n*2 to (n+1)*2".

I don't believe much of what is said on the internet about the Strid. It's not a magical river. The Strid is dangerous, but it acquired that reputation by killing unprepared people who fall in. I've not seen much to indicate it's especially deadly to helmet and PFD equipped paddlers.

It's possible that the man depicted could have been dragged under an undercut if he'd swum the full rapids, but the video doesn't show evidence of that. Rather, he's pulled out of an eddy without much drama.
I find this tyle of writing fantastic. The author pretending to realize shows exactly when there is a realization to be had. Examples and counterexamples, problems and their resolution. I have read a number of these and they are all brilliant I think. The length density and "rythm" is just right.

There's a note in the C99 rationale explaining how compilers can use undefined behavior (specifically, with regards to signed overflow) to perform certain optimizations (specifically, reassociation of integer addition). I'd go back to C89, but the documents before the work effort to make C99 are not available on the WG14 website.

> I do however expect the compiler documentation to have an extensive section on stuff undefined by the specification.

There is an entire section of the C specification that lists every single undefined behavior. What more do you want?

Before Google and Facebook we had Yahoo and Myspace. Now TikTok is doing the same thing and Sundar and Zuckerberg are crying about it.

They shot themselves in the foot de-platforming and censor content creators. Those creators were welcomed with open arms by Google and Facebook competitors. I see more and more creators pushing their YouTube and Instagram audiences over to Rumble or TikTok. Clearly it's starting to be a real problem for the bottom line.

Before you say TikTok does the same, that's true, but it's not the point. Creators don't like having to walk on eggshells if they can avoid it.
Ah - yes agreed. I'm into that.

Acres burned per year is a poor metric as the amount of wild land has changed dramatically over time. 3.5 million people lived in CA in 1920 vs 10.3 million in 1950.

The reality is you can find wildfires burning vigorously in areas that had a wildfire the year before. The state only has ~100 million ares of land in total. When that chart is showing annual averages of 50+ million ares that includes some of the same land being burned the previous year. Not that those statistics are going to be very accurate but it’s what we have.
