No, cringing at some "helpful" popup appearing right over the previous line of code. If anything, they could've made it appear under the current line; code's still written top to bottom so it's less likely for "suggested relevant info" to obscure the actual relevant info.

Two weeks is pretty customary and normal in the US. A few months of planned projects being a reason you "can't" leave really is not. I generally have projects in some stage of planning going out a while. That wouldn't mean I'm effectively tied to an employer for te duration.
Of course PIP got a huge potential to be abused, it’s like a weapon in the hands of management. I’ve never been under a PIP but if I were I’d urgently look for work.

There are so many levels of proficiency in modern languages, it's hard to say. From familiarity, to expertise in language features, to runtime knowledge, to ability to call in and out of the language, to writing runtime ...

You say that, but stories like this will just mean US companies hire fewer Dutch remotes.

I’ve already seen it happen, after legal claims using “lines of code” to assert ownership of the code base.
The point is there are lots of small tasks you can do when you're brain isn't capable of doing focused work. Certain work requires careful thinking and can only be done when you're in top shape to be done effectively. Prioritize that work when you're energetic, etc. Do the small tasks when you're not so you're high quality time get's used well.

1) it is more important to be proficient in a problem space (data analysis and statistics, web programming, mobile, networking, etc.) than to be proficient in a language, in terms of your actual productivity
2) nonetheless most job postings are in a particular language, so you should do enough in a few different languages that you know the basics of how they work, and know how to look up the rest, so that you can honestly say you have worked in that language, and can get through a basic job interview related to it

Becoming proficient in the language's more esoteric edge cases in regards to syntax, etc. is not so important, because that stuff you can look up if you need it. The details of a problem space are often things you won't even know to ask yourself or look up, if you aren't proficient in that problem space. If a prospective employer requires that you know the esoteric details of Golang or Rust in order to get the job, they're probably not a great employer, and there are plenty of others out there who know better than that.

The literal answer to your question is 3 or 4.
You need logs of some form to know what users did, or tried to do.

Yes, sure. But manufacturing a plastic trinket is similarly cheap, to the point of vanishing small cost.

I understand that, which is why today I 100% support back pack funding of schools. I despise the idea of Regional school districts, and really the fact that most schools are funded by local very tiny regional property tax districts, making some schools VERY VERY well funded to the point where high schools are building professional sports arena's and other districts just a few miles away can not afford proper computers.
I read somewhere that over 30% of profit from smart TVs comes from user data. So, you are correct, large monitors or ‘dumb’ TVs can be more expensive.

What does it mean, in your view, for data to be relational? I think there's some circular logic with this take that boils down to whether you believe you need to conceptualize your data model in normalized (storage optimized) or denormalized (optimized for reasoning). I dislike these terms like normalize/demoralize as much as relational since it hides so much intuitive understanding

Stripe always had good ways of contacting them outside of the normal support channels.

I think it's be closed now, but Stripe used to offer support via Stripe, and it used to be actual engineers at Stripe who answered, instead of clueless customer support agents who after 3-4 back and forwards actually forwarded you to a proper engineer.

I remember many times companies I worked for tried to get help with various things and I always managed to get the problem figured out after 10-20 minutes by just using the IRC channel instead of writing the customer support. Felt like a super power.
>termination with advance notice is a normal process and pretty much always possible. i doubt there is any country in the world where you can't terminate employees with sufficient advance notice

I think you are misunderstanding. Unlike Austria, in most others EU countries you can't terminate employees, even with notice, without providing a reason.
Also the Jewish and Italians, because they were discriminated against similarly at the time.
On related news: https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/plastics/single-use-...

In addition, the same measure applies to cups, food and beverage containers made of expanded polystyrene, and all products made of oxo-degradable plastic.

not sure how much it is enforced but I have to admit most single use cups or food packaging now at least pretends to be biodegradable.

I wonder if they were a remote sales or marketing rep.

I'm not sure why a software development Company would have an employee doing telemarketing, at least not the unsolicited direct to consumer type we use the term for in the US. Maybe this is a connotation issue.
The problem here is the idea that offshore country labor arbitrage can give you ridicolous cost savings way over 50% compared to local resources. Of course this is pipe dreams and especially with remote work good people have a cost, no matter where they work. But companies like Infosys still are forced on selling with that sales pitch… so what happens? They hire mostly unqualified people. This is not a problem with Indian employees, it’s a problem of Western executives having unrealistic IT costs expectations. Want to save IT costs? Have realistic expectations on the number of digital initiatives your company can run, do less things basically, don’t try to do a lot and hire cheap labor to keep IT cost low.

My charger cost $0 — its a regular 220v outlet that came with my house.

Where do you get the $500k number btw?

I saw the Chargepoint price list a while back when they still had it posted and a single Chargepoint charger station with two connectors was around $11k and a fast charger with two connectors was around $50k.

Yeah, the linked article seems to be dumbed-down to the point of being information free. It does contain a link to this report which has a bit more information.

Still not totally clear, but my understanding is that they are using these Ferroelectic Diodes for both memory and "compute", and that this is a memristor-type device.

The "compute" claim seems a bit exaggerated, but seems to be saying that given the response curve of the device it can effectively "multiply" by a pre-programmed weight value as part of memory recall.

Maybe someone can confirm my take, or correct if wrong.
Main problem with hiring through these shops is you never know who exactly is working on your project. They would present us with resumes of some experienced candidates but it looked like that person is being sold to multiple companies with expectation that he would be exclusive.

They would all be committing to code repo with single "git@congnizant.com" so you never know who the man behind the screen is. All conference calls would have the person we hired on the call but his voice would sound different everytime.

It was freaking nightmare. I will never ever work for a company that does hybrid onshore/offshore development. That evnviroment is a proxy that they treat software dev as mundane cost center that deserves no respect.
I've had Infosys and TCS reach out to me, and when pressed for salary figures said the upper end was a half of my current salary, and this is in Australia. I'm not even on a particularly high salary, could have gotten a ~30% pay rise had I joined an industry I wasn't keen on...

Not convinced it isn't some sort of legal obligation thing to bring in cheap labour, or just preying on people who need a quick job to maintain their visa obligations. Offering {minimum_wage + 30%} for a software engineer with a few years of experience seems like an exercise in futility otherwise.
Would read! There's not a ton of info about this online as far as I can tell, and more would be better.
Hmm, this is not a good criticism of affirmative action programs. A child from a rich family, of whatever race, is far more likely to be able to attend the college of their (or their parents') choice, based on a wide array of factors. This is mitigated somewhat by federal and institutional need-based and merit-based aid, but I don't think it's really supportable to say that it's exacerbated by affirmative action. If your concern really is that poor students aren't able to access as many opportunities as wealthy students, you should be some flavor of socialist, as under capitalism, wealth inherently comes with more opportunity.

In clearer words: I think you made this situation up without considering other factors because you have an ideological agenda.
> There's nothing in any of the relevant EU laws...

Sure, my pet peeve is not that THERE IS something in EU law that makes these banners so annoying. My issue is that THERE ISN'T anything in the EU law that specifically prescribes HOW it should be handled so that it's not such an absolute fecking annoyance. As I said, I think they should revise the law so that it specifically states that the cookie options must be a browser option and websites MUST respect that preference, and that the browser preference trumps anything else which a user might have consented elsewhere, rendering attempts to workaround it as useless.
The sentence referred to here:

> All good so far. But then you say that it is a problem, and this is where I am lost.

…Is not referring to a problem that has, at that point in the story, been revealed. It is being evocative in a sort of dog-whistle technique - before jumping into the generalisations that follow.
I'm also in the not-liking typescript camp. I was an early adopter (I think my first version was 1.7 or 1.8) and it put me off forever. What increased my productivity the most was not languages, linters, build tools, compilers, transpilers, etc... it was a good IDE. Now I just write plain Javascript with JSdoc and I don't need to update my toolchain every week.
In this lawsuit, an American woman alleges that a bunch of high level (probably white) American executives in the American branch of an Indian company were very biased against women and workers of Indian origin. And while expressing their biases through their actions they created a very hostile work environment for this person.

I got asked if I'd be willing to take a guy on pip onto my team. The guy was senior to me when I started but he languished a bit so I was now senior. He was good technically but terrible with internal politics. It was a bit of an adjustment but we worked hard and managed a turn around. He was surprised and thankful for the genuine interest in his career and well being. He never became an A player, but he stayed on a few more years and stock splits and we remain in contact 15 years later.

Some humans suck, some don’t. I don’t think it’s accurate to say this divide is mostly split between countries. I’ve worked with multi-national companies that have great culture and diversity and multi-national companies that are much like you describe. The problem is not that “x people are by far the worst”. The problem is that culture needs to be led top down. It needs to be thought of during hiring. Intolerance needs to be addressed after hiring.
Yeah it doesn't, that is why there are enough papers and books how to implement them with incomplete types, and translation units with statics as poor man's replacement for modules.
git reset --soft HEAD^
# make changes so index only contains what you want
git commit -a -C ORIG_HEAD

of if you prefer:

git config --global alias.undo reset --soft HEAD^
git config --global alias.redo commit -a -C ORIG_HEAD

then:

git undo
# make changes so index only contains what you want
git redo

You could use -c (--reedit-message=) instead of -C (--reuse-message=) for further flexibility.

ORIG_HEAD is set to point to the most recent HEAD when using reset. See "man git-reset" > EXAMPLES > "Undo a commit and redo".
This sounds like a fun time to run an experiment with getting an injunction against Stripe. Next time it happens, rather than doing a chargeback, sue them for the actual amount in addition to all of your time spent dealing with it. Then seek a preliminary injunction preventing them from charging your card any longer. You can probably do this on your own, although it will be time-consuming.

At that point it becomes a legal problem for them and I suspect they'll be forced to take more serious action.

It’s been several years since I’ve used Jira so can’t give an honest head to head comparison, but my experience with Linear has been fantastic. Looks nice, has all the functionality I look for, enough customizability.

If you’re looking for something you can configure every little bit of for a very large team (like Jira) it may not meet your needs, but otherwise I highly recommend.

> but completely ignore the changes we have seen in China in the last 20 years (I would argue is part of the "democratising" of wealth).

To argue from Thiel’s perspective, I believe he sees the US as the leader in “zero to one” technologies and China as mostly “1 to n” technologies. Therefore, he focuses on pushing/keeping the US on this frontier, that’s also where he has the most influence.

I don’t think he would say there have absolutely been no breakthrough technological improvements, just not enough. I would imagine if you asked him if the advances in solar power was a great achievement he would say yes. But he would also say we still spend too much time and money building the next mobile app that marginally improves on the status quo.

I also don’t see him as a historian of technological progress, carefully documenting the wins and the losses in his writing and speeches. He’s trying to push a narrative which I think is broadly true but obviously has the pitfalls of any subjective opinion.
Because we work in an industry and are posting on a website that is predominantly male and white. Any time even the smallest measures are taken to improve the balance there's just a bunch of whining about being discriminated against. It's as silly and unfounded as complaining how "foreigners are coming to take our jobs"

It's the same attitude that makes it hard to recruit women and people of color into the industry, they can just look at one of the most well known platforms for discussing the industry and see the rampant sexism and racism

Some major US schools did have affirmative action for Jews for a time to offset their prior policies that banned Jews from attending. Jewish students are now not statistically at any disadvantage compared to the average, so such programs aren't necessary.
Hmm, this is interesting. Never realized this was a thing. Care to submit a specimen link?
I like type systems as you can design with types and check things tie together before even running the code. This gives you very fast iteration cycles compared to CMD-R refreshing the browser/code.

Some issues with TS are:

- There is no hard guarantee at runtime as everything is partially/optionally typed (including your deps).

- The types are not used to produce faster code at runtime (like in a compiled language).

It is almost like TS leaves half of the benefits of type checking on the table, obviously by design by being a JS superset.
The sound is very aggravating.
Compare C23 with K&R C.

You're right on the security part, and that C authors hardly care about it is visible on the language itself, naturally the book wouldn't be any better.
Same was happening during the pandemic and it was much worse even.
2: Ruby and JavaScript, with "proficiency" means that I have good knowledge of the language APIs, general best practices, and sufficient mastery of the vanilla language (eg outside of Rails or React) to accomplish complex functionality using the native tools (eg I know how to metaprogram and ruby as well as not to metaprogram in ruby, and how context and `bind` work in JS).

I also know some PHP, Python, etc, but not to a capacity where I can just sit down and write a program without consulting some guides/docs, and no experience with the popular frameworks.
Time to get your own isolated grid huh? Maybe with solar and inverters?
While I enjoyed reading this article, I more or less disagree with it.

To me, using large language models like GPT-3 is now fungible architecture component, multi sourced from OpenAI, Hugging Face, etc. For many NLP tasks, not using modern deep learning models in your infrastructure dooms you to writing inferior systems.

Whenever I hear someone making a broad hyperbolic politic rant about a technology which is otherwise used successfully by hundreds of thousands of people, I like to ask - what specifically is the problem you're running into? Usually it reveals a lot more about the person than the technology.
I disagree (and am European, and a union rep for many years). Subordination is what I expect from an employee and obedience from a dog.

Subordination is a role you opt into. Obedience is something you can't get away from.

You take a job as mailman and then you are a subordinate to the postmaster. Refusing to carry out sensible and appropriate orders (without a valid reason) is insubordination and grounds for being fired (more or less) on the spot, even in Scandinavia.

What counts as an appropriate order and a valid ground for refusal is probably very different in different regions/countries/states, but the basic dynamic is not.
>At the moment vscode only checks files that are currently open

While TSC checks everything by default - even files that are not even part of the dependency graph. That's how great the "great tooling" is in reality.

>I think type checking should only be done when building to some sort of production or realtime in your editor.

Agreed, that's the lest awful option. The problem is that they had 10 years to think of it, and didn't.

>Templates like "create react app"

...are a big part of the problem. "But I don't want to spend a whole day just setting up a project!" You wouldn't have to, if you didn't drink the React kool-aid in the first place.
