Ah! the whole theory that Reliance is a BJP's poodle. Go back and look 1986 Cricket World Cup and what is it named.. and .. you got it right, Reliance Cup.

The Ambanis are no one's poodles all Indian Politicians are their poodles. The monumental growth of Reliance from a small textile company to a petro-chemical behemoth to a huge conglomerate happened under the rule of Indian National Congress.
It's really frustrating that the CBS articles don't have any links to the survey data, and now they're using a single person's factually stated claim, which doesn't appear to be based on any data. No numbers anywhere.

It could definitely be true, but wow, this wouldn't pass a smell test in any professional environment I've worked in, but it's making national news. I'll be waiting for an org that's remotely related to scientific journalism, before believing anything.

Related, it looks like adult males can move 8km/day [1]. If we had an idea of the area that was sampled, we could get a rough estimate for drop if it was from migration, alone. Also, they have a 20 year lifespans, so this couldn't just be from a single missed spawning season.

Third party dialing apps integrate with contacts, the dialer, your call history etc.
iPad Pros can have 2TB onboard and hook up to external storage just fine. There isn’t much difference between that and the average laptop.

That said 90% of users are probably going to be working with compressed 4k video because they don’t notice the difference and it saves time.
Given the frequency of tornados and hail in Texas I’m not convinced this is a large discrepancy in this particular contractor’s case.
They have (had?) performance-based RSU bonuses so my guess is that the status quo was giving "meets expectations" to everyone but top performers so everyone was happy getting their bonus.
nah....
sure we will have ad filed stores and all that bs but that is currently happening on xiaomi and realme phones anyways....
they have OS level ads and people are fine with it....

i am interested in having F-droid as a respectable store that has some more polish, aurora-store type features would be nice things to have.

and having ability to "delete system apps" that is only possible on stock android or in my case moto phones only....
i don't have google crap installed and untill now, xiaomi/realme/oppo and others couldn't do that even if they wanted. now they can.....

think of it this way. W10, w11 has a lot of nonsense but for technically inclined, there is the debloater so anyone who is interested can do that and that should happen here also

As a kid, I remember a lot of people complained about how annoying car seatbelts are, and tried to avoid them, but I haven't heard that sentiment at all in the past 20 years - everyone I know is perfectly happy with them as a safety measure. It seems to me it just required some time for the culture to shift.
I think DevOps team maintains infra and monitor ops so that other teams can "plug-in" their applications. For example DevOps team sets up Terraform but dev teams plug-in their own repos and configurations to use that private enterprise Terraform "cluster". Another example: DevOps team sets up Airflow clusters but Data engineer teams use them.

At least this is how the role works in my company.
Ahh a privacy oriented company, that won't allow you to opt out of their analytic cookies this breaking the law in the EU. Or in other words, not privacy oriented at all.

I always uninstall snapd first thing, as well as GNOME (I use KDE but the Kubuntu 22.04 installer crashes if using full-disk encryption). Apart from Firefox, for which I had to enable the Mozilla PPA, I haven't really run into anything where I was required to use snap.
At the risk of stating the obvious, developers are not the customers. Android has millions of customers who benefit from Google's attempt to prevent misuse and abuse. It is far from perfect - but a bias toward protecting the end-user and their data is the correct choice.

In this case, there is a "false positive" where Google thinks something bad is happening when it isn't. They see that contacts are being touched, but they don't know what is being done with that data and assume the worst (as they should).

It would be nice if the accuracy could be dialed-up by inspecting code or other manual processes, but this is labor intensive and therefore expensive for society as a whole, regardless of who pays the price (devs, Google, or users).

Question for Voys: If there was a service where for $10k/yr you had a white-glove app-approval service from Google/Android/Play where they do actually inspect your code, would you pay for it? Maybe you would, and maybe there's a good market there. I don't know.
> the program can have secrets (closed source)

I didn't read it as suggesting that the source code itself would be secret, only that the code would act on secret data, like private keys.

> non-deterministic (e.g. invokes random)

I'm not sure how that works either, since there's no way to prove that the "random" number you generated off-chain really is random. It's possible to do random number generation among multiple mutually-untrusting parties already, though, just by getting them to each pick a random number, and publishing its hash, then (after receiving all the hashes), revealing the input random numbers and XORing them all together.

> or async (pulls data outside the blockchain).

I assume the data from outside the blockchain has to have signatures on, so that the smart contract on the blockchain can verify that this data is legitimate. Again I'm not sure why that needs zero-knowledge.
One thing I found helped during my 9-month job search was to have a project I was working on at the same time. A huge factor why job searching is exhausting is that one doesn't see any progress. Having a 'resume filler' helped me feel like I was still moving in a positive direction.
Most of the Split DNS issues should be fixed now.

> I’d be all for an online registry where you have to register your business and verified contact info so you can be tracked down

So an active registry and compliance department that is somehow unconnected with the concept of licensing? That's pushing the costs of proving a given contractor is competent from the contractor to the government. Ideally that would be a far more expensive system. In reality it would be an unfunded, mostly vacant department and a free-for-all for fraud.
That's exactly the kind of stuff that https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv is meant to handle.
I actually agree with this take, but I think the opposite can work. Create delivery dates based on runway / business priorities, re-evaluate what you think you can do in that amount of time. Every few weeks try to determine what you might need to cut to meet that date or see if the business can push back or delay that date.

I don't think starting from I think X feature will take Y days ever works. By contrast, we need to launch by Z date is technically a valid statement, it doesn't need to be estimated.

I think for this to work the business actually needs to be willing to admit that either more people need to be hired, features need to get cut or dates need to be pushed back.

It's a full-blown editing, VFX, and grading package, used for some really heavy-duty productions. If you don't want to edit larger than 4k resolution, the free-as-in-beer version does nearly everything else that the paid-for one does. The paid-for one is about 200 quid.

All 3 are needed for huge success but if you had to start with one, I would say "Content" since in the early days, you are looking to build trust, authority and discovery. Think DigitalOcean.
Lot of emphasis by whom? Yes, certain constructs are subtly encouraged (by documentation, community blogs, etc.), but there is no python police to enforce the One True Way(tm). You can still write your quick&dirty prototype using not-quite-pythonic-python if you prefer, allowing you to move and iterate just as fast as in Lua or Ruby.

At least that's been my experience with Python (after reluctantly getting used to the indentation as part of syntax :) ). Of course, different languages will appeal to different people, so I do not doubt your claim that Ruby suits you better. But the post I was replying to above was putting Python in the same bag as C/C++, which to me seems very inaccurate.
That's true! It's also true that nothing stops your employees from walking out until they are treated better! There's no need (or, morally, any possibility) of banning them from forming a group of their coworkers to organize this process.

Honestly you get more protections if they are part of a recognized union than if their only choice is a wildcat action.

It's the opposite of the way things should be. Package managers should have the most utility for applications that update frequently, because isn't the raison d'etre of a package manager to make updating programs easier?

Scary new technology that wasn't around back in the day. Grandpa Simpson said it best: "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!"
Can they put it on f-droid and point their users there? Downside is that users don't know what f-droid is and have to install it, upside is they find a new "app store" that has some new techy things on it. Not sure if f-droid gets around having to tell your phone it can run third-party apps, but if it does that would be a win as well.

I didn't see in the post if they sell this or give it away.
- Although unethical, stripe is hardly the only company to do it.

- If you get cut for performance reasons, most companies still provide severance.

- This is not a one off thing. Most companies have 10-15% quotas for “low performance” every year and people are let go on a regular basis.

- Most other employers in tech know this as a practice and getting fired is not that big of a deal.

- if you’re let go for performance, you can still file for Unemployment as long as there was no misconduct on your end.

Although I don’t agree with these tactics and in my long career, have been at the receiving end of it a couple times, I would still say the tweet is a little alarmist. It makes sense in other industries, but in tech, it hardly matters if it is a layoff or a performance related loss of employment.

Besides we are all talking as if the employees don’t know the risk of working for Companies like stripe. For every stripe engineer that makes 400k, there is an engineer working at another company at 200k that is equally capable of getting that 400k job. There is a reason they don’t do that.
To be fair, those € 1200 for music via Spotify are easily dwarfed by the about 100 cd’s I bought as a teenager ten years prior. There’s no chance I would have spent this little for physical copies. Especially for more niche music (say, classical) I expect the returns must have fallen drastically. Less returns just means less records and less artists, amplifying the top lot and historic catalogue.
As far as I can tell, this is your argument.

You don't understand how the brain works. You don't understand how quantum mechanics work. Therefore they must be related.
For the last year+ I've been thinking of moving from Ubuntu (after 17 years) and into Manjaro (arch). I even have it running on another older laptop and it's great. However, the fear of losing pace, even for a day because an unforeseen problem or missing something stops me. Ubuntu has always (mostly) just worked for me, and I know Manjaro will too but after so many years change is somewhat hard...
This line of reasoning can be used to reject and remove access to literally any app or API. Why offer a contacts API if you're not allowed to use it? Who is trustworthy enough to have this privilege?

They should just remove all third party API's to access any user data. Then we can be certain of privacy, with only non-shady actors like Google, Samsung, Facebook, etc. accessing saved contacts.
https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/severancepay

> Severance pay is often granted to employees upon termination of employment. It is usually based on length of employment for which an employee is eligible upon termination. There is no requirement in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for severance pay. Severance pay is a matter of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative). The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) may be able to assist an employee who did not receive severance benefits under their employer-sponsored plan. Please contact EBSA if you have any questions.

> In their mind, that "I guess 3 months" estimate a developer gave quickly turns into "I can 100% deliver this to you fully tested, with all of the additions you added along the way in 3 months".

This is my biggest trigger, when a vague, hand-wavey estimate is turned into a signed guarantee, then the developer gets disciplined or treated as a problem creator when more detailed information comes in.

I found this was the problem with working at agencies - No matter how warm touchy feely they are, the fact is the agency is economically incentivised to burn out their developers (in the short term, which sadly, is the most frequently perceived time horizon).

This is why I only work at venture funded startups now with a preference for default-alive ones, yes it's a bit chaotic because resources are not infinite everywhere, but it's much better than working at an agency who are just middle-man reselling your time and trying to keep their margins up

Firefox is the only thing I had problems with, and this was quickly fixed by adding the Mozilla PPA. I haven't run into any snap problems (I apt-get purge'd snapd).
proprietary API isn't that bad

My opinion differs a little bit. If I buy a PTZ I know some here think those are a waste I expect to be able to control it from an open source application. If I can control all aspects of PTZ audio and video then that is good enough for me, but may not be good enough for others.
Sure, but how do you address this routing issue? Let recruiters target candidates in a different and more granular way than Linkedin, I guess? But then there is the issue that the paying customers are going to be on the recruiting end (like they are on Linkedin), not the employees, and the recruiters want to spam. I do think you could find a better way to solve this problem, though. Unfortunately I also think that you would run into this problem (https://www.fortressofdoors.com/so-you-want-to-compete-with-...) except replace Steam with Linkedin.
None of which matters unless those mutations are common in the population. Remember they didn’t DNA test a significant percentage of the population’s remains they only found things that where already common.

As to your point, suppose you have 100 mutations that are impacted by the Black Death but none are president in more than 0.001% of the population. Does it actually change much if some of those go to 0.002%? No

A 99% die off or similar bottlenecks can make huge changes at the population level, but a single 50% die off simply isn’t that impactful.
New MH370 Location Report Clarified
There are some kinds of code (compilers) where persistent data structures

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_data_structure

are miraculous. The merits of so-called "functional" programming languages for applications work are hard to separate from the merits of the ecosystem they are embedded in (e.g. is the urlenecode() function correct?) but frequently you hear the engineering manager says something like "we are programming in Scala so we can do error handling with monads and it will be so much better than using exceptions", then when you look at the code you see that nobody is checking for errors and then ask "doesn't the engineering manager say that we do code reviews?"

That is, for a lot of people talking about functional programming seems to be a substitute for doing the job right.
> I'm all for going after scammers and prosecuting contractors who take dangerous shortcuts.

Most of the intended audience of that Reason article is not, however. This is written from the perspective of (and published in a journal dedicated to) "Government Regulation Claims Another Victim" and not "individual regulator[1] going way beyond appropriate enforcement".

The bottom line is that this isn't a story I trust Reason to report accurately. I'd want to see a local journalist write it up first before I'd be willing to believe that there wasn't some level of fraud suspected.

Universal licensing doesn't stop Florida from having that. The way it works with the 18 states that do have it is essentially a fast track waving most of the requirements.

Applicants may still be required to pay fees or take exams administered by the board in the recognizing state.
this has been done a hundred times since it's the low hanging fruit that every engineer has gone through. The biggest pain at this moment in time as someone who's searching is that I have to hand build a table in notion of:

1. hiring freezes from twitter/blind
2. specific insurance providers from corporate info/ glassdoor
3. salary ranges from levels.fyi/glassdoor
4. specific roles and tech stack from google jobs/glassdoor
5. finding refering relationships through linkdin/blind
6. general company reviews, work life balance, from glassdoor/blind
7. then the actual application through the company website

It's a huge pain in the ass to hand-populate and research. Every platform has a piece of the puzzle but it's not in once place.
I dunno, using previous projects as a similar baseline seems to work out very well for estimating within ~10% of future projects.

Although not all future projects are of a similar scope with similar people as a previous project but when it applies it seems to work well.

> One of them is “be of good moral character“. Who gets to decide what that means?

The Florida legislature gets to decide.

> (c) Meet eligibility requirements according to the following criteria:

> 1. As used in this subsection, the term “good moral character” means a personal history of honesty, fairness, and respect for the rights of others and for state and federal law.

> 2. The board may determine that an individual applying for registration is ineligible due to failure to satisfy the requirement of good moral character only if:

> a. There is a substantial connection between the lack of good moral character of the individual and the professional responsibilities of a registered contractor; and

> b. The finding by the board of lack of good moral character is supported by clear and convincing evidence.

> 3. When an individual is found to be unqualified because of lack of good moral character, the board must furnish such individual a statement containing the findings of the board, a complete record of evidence upon which the determination was based, and a notice of the rights of the individual to a rehearing and an appeal.

Seems entirely reasonable. If you have a history of screwing over customers, delivering shoddy work, they can deny your permit. The contractor can appeal their decision and they provide all evidence they used to decide as such.
