Interestingly, being `0.y.z` as a major released version (e.g. not in development or a release candidate) does seem to break semver[1], but I do realize it's more of a guideline and no one really cares:

> Major version X (X.y.z | X > 0) MUST be incremented if any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API. It MAY also include minor and patch level changes. Patch and minor versions MUST be reset to 0 when major version is incremented.

Forgetting is not a problem. Given all the churn in the js world lately it feels like I’m re-earning a CS degree every 3 months anyway.

Skipping 3 years you wouldn’t miss anything, just read up on the latest and you are good to go.

If you are lucky, the PR you submitted to some sleeping library, months ago, might have finally been accepted when you get back.
Ah. Depends on what you mean by "highly efficient". From both memory and a quick Google on "2022 u.s. railroad problems", there are plenty of major problems with the U.S. freight RR system. Especially if you try to assume that it has (or can easily add) a bunch of spare capacity.

(Short version - each of the major U.S. freight RR's is more-or-less a monopoly in the part of the U.S. which it serves. If management relentlessly optimizes for profitability, and doesn't much care about customer service, shipping delays, sustainable staffing levels, etc... Well, I'm sure RR management has enjoyed some fat profit-sharing bonus checks.)
It would be a win for hundreds of millions of Americans who buy products that are shipped between ports. It would be a huge win for Americans in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other US islands.

It would be a loss for people employed building these vessels and it would be a loss for the companies that profit on building them. This is not a huge number of people.

As other people have mentioned, the issue is that the Jones Act has very clear advantages for the people who benefit from it, and it generally imposes very diffused costs on the people it hurts, even though the costs are very real. This is the issue with all tariffs.
Every birth control method has a failure rate, even for perfect use, never mind for average use.

If all else stays the same but the amount of sex goes up, the number of babies will also go up.

Are the 25yo couples who are having more sex making other changes to decrease likelihood of pregnancy? Realistically? Probably not. They probably use their birth control the same way they always have, since it previously worked fine for the amount of sex they were having before. They don't necessarily think, "Oh, I'm increasing the odds that I'll get hit by the failure rate," especially if the way they've been using it has been "successful" for years.
Would love to do that too, but so far I can not find an API for brave or ddg search results. Thank you for your compliment about the UX!
A process gate is a "bolt-on" solution. Rather than modifying the existing process to improve outcomes, you treat each team's activities as a black box and try to improve outcomes by sticking something in-between their activities. Which, naturally, means that it can be a crutch for management whose expertise is management-per-se and whose domain knowledge is shallow.

Process gates create Waterfall. Every process gate is a new step in the waterfall. If one wanted to create a Waterfall methodology, process gates are literally the thing you would use to accomplish that. Which isn't always a bad thing!
I meant less so on the business owner side, although it is a lesser concern there too, and more so on employee side.

Hard to hire experienced employees if no one in your industry (i.e. nail care) can change employers.

And then there's the latest 'you owe the (arbitrary) cost of your training if you leave before X' restrictions.

Also, car buying is the worst. The only working formula I've found is to deal with internet sales, confirm the number, show up, and say you're walking if they add anything but taxes to it.
>> Work relations have always been transactional.
It's a function of where one works. I've had examples in my past work life where I have made wonderful friends at work and I am still meet them even after leaving the company. I am not even an extrovert types. And it's not just about making friends but being able to meet diverse set of intelligent people and having interesting conversations over lunch or a tea.

How does one make their first set of friends? school, neighbourhood where we live, college? These all social places give us opportunity to meet new people, and only those who we feel more comfortable with, become our friends.

Would we want kids to just learn from home using Zoom and not go to school? I would not, because I want them to learn social skills and make new friends.

For me, workplace is also one of such social places which provides opportunity to meet new people. But that does not mean I'm not meeting my other friends or losing touch with the family.

I don't want to extrapolate my experiences over others' and I am generally very empathetic to those who prefer to work from home and want to maintain transactional relation with people at work.
I have 3 kids, two twins. They're annoying. Do you want a couple of mine?

My fastmail just gets spammed by gmail.

Having a good life outside of work is a great goal but I've been lucky enough that the first 25 years of my career I actually fully enjoyed going to work.

I know people will dismiss this because of the reputation of the industry but I worked in video games. Teams were small (10-30 people). I was not just a cog but had a roll that let me feel the games I shipped were my project. I'm not saying I led the project but the way I might be proud to show off some art I made, I was proud to be making the game. It was mine, not just some item on a jira ticket. I rarely hated going into work. It was like being paid to work on my own project and with cool people I liked collaborating with.

Then I switched to FANG. Now I get paid TC of 2x-6x, I get 2x/2.5x more vacation. I have zero crunch. Lots of other perks. And..... I hate my work life. I have no interest in the work. It's not mine. I don't feel any attachment to what I do. The team is large so no sense of ownership.

Of course, maybe finding work you enjoy is as rare as being a rockstar. Maybe I just got super lucky. But damit, I miss enjoying work to the level I used to.
People who think this isn't happening aren't getting "how" it's happening.

BigAnnoyingCo isn't going to lay your whole team off and hire an entire new team in Elbonia.

They're going to not replace "B" or "C" players when they leave, or lay off 1 or 2 people here or there. And they are going to hire 1, 2, 3 "A" Players that happen to live in Elbonia along the way.

Pretty soon your team is completely geographically distributed.. you'll have a bunch of "A" Players that are scattered around the world. At that point it becomes a question does the superior talent level of the players negate any advantage it would have to have a group of employees in one part of the world.
AFAIK in the US a bicycle is considered a car for right-of-way purposes and thus has no privilege over the car. The only upside in the traffic laws is ability to use the bike lane, SOMETIMES (but usually not) legal right to be on the sidewalk, and no need for a driver's license / registration / insurance.
In about the same boat, but I'm in the midst of channeling anger and frustration into trying to make a way figure out why people don't seem to "get it", and in general suck at saying what they mean, your truly included.

I long ago came to terms with the fact a lot of problems when working with technical systems arise out of the human side of things. People saying they did this, but they actually did that. People staying silent out of fear of looking daft, or hoping to $deity they don't attract attention to themselves. People saying they understand when they demonstrably do not.

I guess I had a slight shift in life goal. I'm no longer all about just learning/driving/using computers, but actively trying to get at the root of what makes it so difficult for people to bridge the gap/learn them well enough to use them.

Particularly since there are so many problems with other complex systems you can't even recognize until you've had the epiphany that nothing is magic, and if you didn't do it, it's not a safe assumption to think it'll just work, you can't even begin to approach trying to understand that they are fundamentally broken.

Checked it out! Yes multiple searches seems like a good new direction
I have a friend whose family of five is car free and he does big grocery runs with a hiking pack or even bike trailer.

But certainly point taken— that type of thing is well outside the norm. Most carfree urban dwellers I think handle this by just breaking up the shopping into more, smaller trips. Going every two days instead of every seven, and paying a slight premium for smaller packs of stuff like TP vs stockpiling 48 rolls at once.

And honestly, some of it is a mindset shift more than anything else. Like a lot of people who do these big whole-week mega shops still seem to be "popping out" to the store (in the car, of course) every other day anyway for some single item they forgot, emergency snacks, whatever. So maybe if you're there anyway, do the work and extend the meal plan another day or two, bring a backpack’s worth of stuff home, and avoid or defer the mega shop that justifies owning a car in the first place.
Please substantiate the following claims:

* Explicit claim: "Websites complied with the law" The GDPR does not allow a refusal of consent to take more steps than an acceptance of consent. I have only seen a scant handful of websites where this is the case. Instead, refusal requires following additional links, sometimes disguised as "privacy policy details", disabling each pre-selected consent box, etc.

* Implicit claim: "Websites complied with the law" implies that the websites took the only method by which they could be compliant. This is incorrect. Websites had a choice, and could have stopped surveilling users instead. This is a breakage in the causal chain between the passing of the GDPR and the omnipresent cookie banners.

* Explicit claim: "Web browsing got worse". Appeals to a majority are not sufficient. A user-hostile website being required to announce itself as such is an improvement.
>so why does it make any less sense for a company to ask for for an NDA if they intend on sharing that information with a candidate?

Because if a company doesn't know how to do an interview without the use of an NDA, they're not worth working for

It's quite possible to conduct very productive interviews without them - indeed, everywhere I've ever seen that requires them does nothing "interesting", and they're a waste of time to even talk to

This is one of those policies I believe is broadly popular with voters in both US political parties, but never gets implemented because capital has more say in our government than voters.
You don't even have to be "so sick"! for a family of 4 health insurance from a state exchange costs $1,000 a month and can come with a $7k per-person deductible. That's a minor car accident away from $26k in healthcare costs ($14k family deductible + $12k in annual premiums)...

I can see what you are saying if one is the environment you describe.

I've never worked somewhere where eng was treated like ditch diggers. But I've also never worked anywhere where this "business analyst" actually existed. If you build products for many customers there is no such person, because different customers need slightly different things and you have to pick a position v competitors.

Maybe try changing environments? Not everywhere works as you describe.
Indeed. Comments should document intent and – wherever applicable – approaches taken that did NOT work and why. Even awkward code is sometimes okay, if there’s a comment with a clear justification. Saves hours of pointless busywork following down all the paths in a medium to large code base.
Yes brave search results are pretty good. Love they have their own search with great coverage. I wish I could use them as an API source!
2010 was truly a phenomenal year to be a film soundtrack enjoyer. It's hard to believe that we got Ross and Reznor on Social Network, John Powell on How To Train Your Dragon, Zimmer on Inception, and Daft Punk on Tron: Legacy. All 4 of those scores are amazing and it blows my mind that they all released in the same year.
> if some people are going to be remote, it's good policy that people generally dial in individually if it's an interactive meeting

But that's exactly what the parent posts have issues with. The false claim that the WFH people are letting everyone do what they want while the WFO's are not letting everyone do what they want.

Because the WFH people are forcing the WFO people into zoom meetings. Having to dial in individually because you say that's "good policy" takes away the thing that WFO people want: To not sit in zoom meetings all day.
Google gave them a large gift by refunding everyone, but even still I can't imagine trust for a new cloud gaming provider being super high. If Google hadn't though, I imagine the concept would be dead in the water outside of offerings like nvideas where it is just normal steam games.

It seems like it's really just reselling a commodity. Which can be fine, many companies are successful doing it, and you could (in theory) build a more useful product on top of it.

There's still the fact that many of these companies are not doing that, and are entirely dependent on GPT-3 continuing to be available to them at the given price point.

Eh, I mean, I still think some kind of "market-based" capital system is reasonable - I don't want government-orchestrated markets for all goods and services, but clearly our society has not done enough to regulate the immoral extremes of free markets.
I was wrong to write that the deal is not private equity, it is setup by private equity firms, but it is up to all the other investors to see if they want to go ahead with the deal, hence the need for a shareholder vote.

I do not see how the special dividend can legally go to two firms. It would have to go to all shareholders.

Very funny to see "wanting to be paid for, and do work both parties agreed to" as "mercenary", as opposed to "making personal sacrifices for the company" being labeled "true believers", when there's little compensation difference for being in one group or the other, so detached from the "owner" against "worker" reality.

> why should they pa[y] a German wage for someone who is a face on a screen, when they can pay a fraction for that same face broadcasted from a few hundred kilometers further east or south? German is hardly used in business context here anyway and lower-wage countries within ±3 hours timezones abound.

I don't know if you're aware, but good devs in Poland, Ukraine or Romania are practically being paid western EU wages by now.

And when it comes to people who are outside EU: There's definitely talented people but experience from my 10y+ of working is that shared cultural understanding is as important. That's why hiring devs from several timezones away doesn't often work, even if they're talented and cheaper.

BTW. On my side, living in France, I doubled my salary by starting to work remotely. Quite likely you can also find better paying jobs than your current one that are full remote. (Now, France outside of Paris is generally severely underpaying, and probably in Berlin wages are higher; but still there are companies paying higher than std Berlin wage on full remote).

Who knows, maybe having parents do this task will make them re-evaluate their priorities. Instead of thinking about their rights, they might start thinking of outcomes from those rights on a more personal level.
That’s part of the story. The other part is that many women don’t want to be in the workforce. Among women with children under 18, the majority (50-45) would prefer a “homemaker role.” https://news.gallup.com/poll/267737/record-high-women-prefer.... Among women without a college degree, whether or not they have kids, it’s 44%. The pandemic also coincides with a few years of strong wage growth among working class households. A lot of women left the workforce because they no longer had to work.

It’s important to remember that most people have “jobs,” not “careers.”
I guess people are different. I know a few people who are extremely productive and do not seem like they need someone to discuss it with. But for me, it is exactly as you describe. Taking a few months off and working together with a friend seems like a perfect plan.

I wonder if this might be related to ADHD. I mean, difficulty to focus on the task, unless there is someone else who you know will want to see the results.
I haven't been to Berlin in about 20 years, but my observation is what you are describing could be any urban area in the US too... lots of career transplants who want to keep to themselves, don't really see themselves as locals, may only be there for a few years until they can make their next career move, etc. It's an interesting phenomenon to observe.
From the article:

> Qasim's guerilla marketing tactics kicked in. He wrote hilarious reviews about the game and posted them on different subreddits. One post went viral and his downloads skyrocketed to 10,000.

This article itself is also likely an extension of the author's self-promotion tactics. It's not uncommon for first-time startup sellers to do a self-promotion tour through blogs, podcasts, and other outlets where they try to shape their online reputation. This is basically table stakes for someone getting ready to fundraise a new startup on their past reputation.

I worked for one startup that basically fizzled out and was sold off at fire sale prices to a competitor. That didn't stop the founder from building his entire online persona around successfully building and selling a startup. Take these articles with a grain of salt.
If you're breastfeeding, it's gotta be the woman. And ideally, you are breastfeeding.

Beyond that, most women strongly want to be with their babies. There was a NYT article a few years back about the boom of internet baby monitors, and it was kind of heartbreaking -- a bunch of women sitting at their desks glued to their baby monitors wishing they could be with their babies.

I think we've really fucked up as a society when "women can have kids and be with them" is considered strange or a luxury -- it should be the most natural thing in the world.

No profit in it, though.
If we’re going to endure a cost to keep local ship building capacity id rather the government just directly subsidize the construction of ships via credits to purchasers ala evs, or just direct purchases and finding a use for the ships.

Funny how that worded to assume the lockdowns were stress and gloom. My partner and I flourished in the lockdowns. You posit that we reacted positively to stress and gloom, but we saw it as freedom. Working from home resulted in an uptick in projects, sex, cooking, and other positive freedoms.

I'll end that it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Some people hated being trapped at home and others thoroughly enjoyed it.
If lower internal costs are achieved there is more flexibility to competitively price your product, i.e. reduce prices.

The classic example is televisions. They no longer cost $3000 because of competition and internal cost reduction.

> Read back what I wrote - my point, which is well documented in many places - is the way women in our modern era are not only the predominant child-care givers, but also most likely to attend to household duties (cooking, cleaning, etc), and more and more are also the primary breadwinners.

That contradicts the data I've seen cited, which found that men perform more paid work and women perform more work in the home, but the total number of hours they work is basically the same.
Ha, I thought the same thing, but that really is the ranking Google returned for that... must have a lot of links to that.
