I'd disagree that its a poor decision, some help is better than no help when reading code - and if it's inline then it's intrinsically meaningful.

By no means is it perfect, the language doesn't enforce the type rules, but that the developer has the option is far better than not. As far as I can tell the proposal would pretty similar to Python; one can misleadingly or accidentally misuse type hints like the following:

def myfn(a: int) -> str:
return int(a)

print(myfn("42"))

But when done right, it gives you a leg up when you come back to read your own code or scan over someone else's. When you're reading over other's code in group programming assignments, comments make a world of difference (a niche example).

It is a choice, but its use in code might just inspire someone to investigate further - my own introduction to types in programming came when I wondered what these oddly placed colons and arrows were in some Python I came across. If they do add these annotations to JavaScript, some future programmer browsing the source of a web page may well just stumble upon types and have a whole new world of theory opened up to them - I'm all for it.
However there about 60 reasons that a dismissed employee can claim that it was automatically unfair to fire them, regardless of length of tenure.
The conclusion is you should not expect stability. Arguably you need to think even more in such conditions.
If it was just benefits, hours or something like that, I'd recommend talking to management and let them know that unless something could be worked out I'd be leaving. When you're bored however, and the company isn't that big, that's is almost impossible to fix. Even if management tries, the moment someone loses focus, then you're right back where you started.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about the UK job market, but across the North Sea, in Denmark, you can still more or less pick and choose, there are tons of companies lacking developers and operations people. Not as many as last year, but still more than enough that you don't have to fear unemployment.
"Tracking" that is necessary to ensure the service is functioning does not require consent. That is for example why logging IPs for things like rate-limiting or DDoS protection does not require consent, but that data cannot be used for anything else.

If you do not track users but just track usage that should not require consent. So if you track for example purchases per hour (but not which users made a purchase) you can see if it becomes irregular. You can also track usage of certain site functions without tying that data to a specific user or session.

So the actually necessary tracking does not require consent, but since companies got used to tracking everything and tying it to users/sessions before these laws it seems like they try to continue on that path instead of adapting.

I’ve spent majority of my life addicted to technology and screens.

I wrote a book about my last few years of how I have been managing this relationship knowing it only gets worse for each new generation(I’m a millennial). And I’m proud of how far I have come in a couple years.

Before:

I pickup my phone almost 60 times a day. I hardly trust the news but can’t stop doomscrolling for hours. I buy shit I don’t need because I’m constantly served ads about them.

After:

I pickup my phone maybe 30 times. I don’t even read the news anymore outside of some HN. I haven’t bought any junk in the last year.

There’s no silver bullet to this problem. Especially if you already work in tech. Boundaries are important and also jobs to be done for each device. I think the most effective approach for me was mindfulness. Technology is addictive to me. If I have it easily accessible, I will be obsessed with it.
I wish I'd understood the degree to which small children destroy you. The amount of focus time you get falls by 90%+, you sleep horribly every night without fail, and you spend every quiet moment waiting for one of them to start screaming because they found some new and ingenious way to hurt themself.

Maybe a lot of that was having a 1-3 and 3-5 year old wfh during covid, but I feel like I'm broken ever since.

This is what I've been doing since 2018. Day rates vary between 650-750. I guess I could go higher if I was putting more effort into looking but I normally pick organisations to contract for which are fun. I like working for small startups to medium sized businesses which are tech companies, and not companies with a tech department. Big companies often come with Outlook, MS Teams, JIRA, Azure, a lot of Scrum or similar BS and lots of hierarchy, meetings and politics which makes it really hard to have an impact or fun doing work. They can pay slightly more (maybe 800-1000/day) but personally I find smaller companies more satisfying. Smaller businesses don't have time for BS, so they optimise for success, use software and tools which really drive productivity. That often means MacBooks instead of Windows, AWS/GCP over Azure, Slack over Teams, Something super lightweight or just good team communication over JIRA and most importantly, development teams often get to really make an impact, drive decisions, get responsibility and own the entire software development lifecycle from planning to deploying to monitoring in true DevOps style (as opposed to sending emails to a "DevOps" team which is common in bigger companies). I enjoy myself more in these environments and for that I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of pay.

Anyhow, I am just coming back from a 5 month break and it's normal for me to take a few months off every year inbetween contracts. I never take a contract longer than 6 months, otherwise I can't take 1-2 months off at a time. Doesn't mean I never extend a contract after 6 months, but before I extend I communicate clearly that I would like to take some time off and then basically line up the continuation at the same place for when I come back.

I agree with what you're saying but as you said "evidence based", did you mean research-based evidence or anecdotal evidence? If you meant research-based evidence, can you provide it?

Well. That's because they are a strain on the grid. All major utilities and RTO/ISOs do 10-20 year planning studies (a lot easier back when we only had nuke/coal/gas and consistent 4% load growth) and EV projections are definitely a part of that now as people will charge their cars at roughly the same times. Put another way, it'll be an increase to the peak load that must be served. This doesn't mean EV's are bad, but it is another source of demand when the grid is already highly constrained capacity-wise.

Can car batteries also be a source of supply and not just additional demand? Yes, of course. I believe power walls (I don't think the cars themselves) have collectively done this in a limited sense in California. I think it's more common to just ask folks not to charge at a certain time to keep that load down. We're getting to a more advanced future, but the grid is so important and risk adverse and beaureacratic that it has to be done slowly.

Of course Carlson is a political tool to push back against any human progress. We could discover free energy and he'd be complaining about the impact on oil executives fourth homes.

The problem is simple and not at all what you are implying. When you say that the cause of X is global warming/climate change without a qualifier, you are making an unverified statement which is likely true. Likely true is not definitely true and thus presenting it as definitely true is a lie. This causes distrust and is one of the reasons people are losing trust in the media.

In Canada for example, we are constantly told by our state funded media that hurricane Fiona was climate change. When the weather is atypical it is climate change. Absolutely zero care is given to the people who understand that atypical weather happens nearly every year if not every year. This is causing distrust.

We also have our PM. A man elected by name and haircut. He has done some good, but he has also publicly praised China's system of governance as being admirable[1].

Between these three points, people have reasons to be a sceptic. Climate change is also not the only topic like this in Canada and this problem isn't only in Canada.

I interpreted the comment as a comparison between torrenting and emulation, "but torrenting isn't illegal but is used for illegal things" and thought it was implying the opposite for emulation, i.e that emulation was illegal.

> I believe many US states have similar procedures.

Most US companies follow similar procedures because they are a sensible thing to do. But 49 out of 50 US states have "at will" employment which means that employers can fire any employee at any time for no reason at all.
I tried magic leap once. They really hide it in most of their pictures by using certain angles but there's a tether between the glasses and another unit that's doing the computations. That other unit gets hot during operation.

I disagree. Austria’s labor protections are fine. If you make rules around dismissals stricter then you greatly harm the ability for a company to hire in the first place. The current rules give you plenty of protection as an employee that you can find a new place of work and not suffer financially.

It’s pretty surprising that credit card companies will route charges to the particular “account” linked with a “number” even if the “number” is “closed” or “cancelled” or “expired”. Certainly not the experience one intuitively expects up front. I realized this when the bank issues me a new card proactively due to a data breach, but old recurring charges still work.

I guess this is both for customer convenience and to give the bank more flexibility, but I think this would be a lot simpler if closed credit card numbers just stopped working.
It's very easy to see that such a consent cannot be given freely, only coerced.
Yeah no ~$66k/yr is just taking-advantage money, your "quiet when being paid enough" beeper should be going off so loudly right now the people in the buildings next door are wondering if there's a fire drill or not lol.

That being said, if you want to retain the stability of your current environment, one way to mitigate the precedent/reputation hit of going "hi, pay me more plz" might be to shift the responsibility of the suggestion to a skills guidance counselor, life coach, therapist or similar position (I'm sure I've heard of more technically-oriented roles supporting this sort of thing, I just can't remember them right now).

If *that* person were to hear out your situation, go back and forth on various sundry details and then happen to hear about the pay bracket bit and flat-out tell you you weren't being paid nearly enough... well, you were just going to see them because you were a bit depressed (the circumstances you describe line up perfectly for mild depression), and oh no, this happened. Woops.

I have to disagree and I'm a father. I think it's exactly like in the book "the happiness advantage", some people will see the positive and use it as possibility to grow and to get more productive.

On the other hand, People who focus on the negative and didn't learn to cope with stress will have problems in every high stress environment no matter the circumstances.

no matter the crap life throws at them some people simply march forward and this is the mindset you need - and not a break, which will only get you right back where you were.

Corporations really want you to believe that grassroots personal boycotts are ineffective and a waste of time, but the truth is much more complicated.

Enough people boycott PayPal to make a web developer choose another payment product. He writes about it on HN which amplifies the boycott’s message to tens of thousands of readers. Some of them will join the boycott. PayPal’s PR department is presumably unhappy about this reason now coming up in searches like “PayPal vs Stripe.” And it didn’t take any centralized organizing.

I was under the impression that this mentality is somewhat theatrical to discourage the accidental subconcious inclusion of mechanics into open source projects as it increases their legal risk exposure.
Let me attack your position by attacking you personally. That was a weak argument but would have been considerably stronger had you just avoided the attack on the poster.
There is also the word "reasonable". In civil law countries like Netherlands, that actually means something. One can argue that even if being ordered to turn on the webcam all day is not illegal, it is still an unreasonable request e.g. because it infringes on privacy too much.
> It generates amazing reports, fantastic predictions, fancy charts, great managerial tooling, makes imposing processes easier, has robust integrations, etc., and that’s why most managers I’ve spoken to really enjoy Jira, while on-the-floor engineers either range from fiery-eyed hate to toleration.

You kinda need to impose process for large projects, and know where you are. The engineers are free to show a better tool for the job.

> I think Jira does a good job of making teams look much busier than they are, but in the end I see it more as a “talk more not do more” situation.

It does not make teams looks busier, it shows that teams are a lot busier in reality, which is valuable information.

> The Alternative

> Although a potential downside to Linear is that it is built explicitly for engineers, thus may not be suitable for other teams such as marketing, design, etc.

And this is why engineers will never build any viable alternative to Jira, because there is this us vs. them mentality. Issue management tools need to work for the whole organisation, that's why Jira is still the gold standard.

> If you’ve given Linear a try, but it just doesn’t work for you, some viable alternatives include GitHub Issues, Asana, ClickUp, YouTrack, Trello, Pivotal Tracker, and monday.com.

None of these are viable in larger organisations, they are fine for small projects, but you would have a lot of trouble with them in an enterprise context.

Jira's web UI can be very annoying, however an alternative to Jira would need to be at least as customisable and familiar as Jira, otherwise no large team will ever adopt it.

Chip War by Chris Miller Review: Economics Battles Geopolitics
In Canada most of the population has a post secondary. People are expected to pay out of pocket to essentially not be behind the majority of the country. The schooling is mostly bullshit and mostly serves as a boiler room to see who will crack first to ensure only the toughest and sharpest can get through, it would be more humane to pick people for jobs by lottery.

Like others are saying you take out a loan to work at Starbucks.
Indeed we're working on that and explaining the technology behind is one of the things we're working on.

>Austria’s labor protections are fine

When they're objectively worse than every other EU country, bordering on competing with the US, I can hardly call them "fine".

>If you make rules around dismissals stricter then you greatly harm the ability for a company to hire in the first place.

Please stop parroting the propaganda of the conservative party (ÖVP) who are bought and paid for by the business elite and would gladly tell us working 60h/week is in our best interest. The stricter employee protections in other EU countries haven't harmed the economy or innovations there. Do you see Netherlands or Sweden doing poorly economically because of their better employee protection laws? In fact their innovation and tech sectors are far above Austria's.

Nor did the lack of employee protection laws boost Austria's economic sector. Have you looked at Austrian skilled wages? They earn the lowest wages of all the German speaking countries causing an exodus of doctors and other skilled specialists to Germany and Switzerland, while Austrian devs make Eastern European wages. So how did the lack of worker protections help with this?

Maybe fixing the needlessly complex and conservative bureaucracy and high tax burdens on employers and employees would help improve the Austrian economic sector and make it more competitive and attractive for business, instead of taking away employee rights in a race to the bottom hoping that going the sweatshop route will make it more competitive.
It's an uncomfortable topic because so many people here work for adtech and spend their lifetime essentially manipulating others for massive gain
