So as long as the company agrees with polygamy, there's no problem. It's only if one party assumes monogamy, but the other party secretly tries polygamy that problems arise.
I'd still rather not have that issue in the first place. Throw next ~3 months of money onto prepaid account and sleep soundly.
In software, the answer is often Yes.

You tell your manager you'll finish implementing a critical feature in 6 weeks. Manager knows it's not a trivial task, and while he'd like it to be finished sooner because it impacts company revenue, he accepts your 6-week estimate and communicates it to the rest of the program. You split your time with another two employers, and work hard to finish the feature on time... in 6 weeks. Your manager rates your work as satisfactory.

The unethical part: Your 6-week estimate was based on the knowledge that you'd be splitting your time, but your manager naturally assumed you were giving them all your working hours within those 6 weeks. You relied on the manager's trust, and you tacitly exaggerated the level of effort required to complete the work.

Mostly the potato, I'd say... as it will probably contain potentially toxic copper salts after the operation. If the adapter generates 9-12V, it will be pretty unpleasant to have that voltage in your mouth, but probably not dangerous (like licking a 9V battery to check if it's still charged...)
I actually have the same problem. I live in one of the biggest cities in Germany but never seem to hang around spots where any interesting potential dates are. I see them on the streets though. But I'm just treating this as a game. I'll try to widen my social circle with activities I like. Because it's a very bank-heavy city and I'm an outdoor guy it's difficult. I did a climbing course a few weeks ago and actually met a girl. Mismatch of goals but still. Maybe change the activities you do? (Needs to be authentic though)
How can you do this as a regular employee?
At least in my european country your employer has to pay social security insurance and that cant be paid twice. Therefore if you find 2 jobs you will sooner or later run into issues.

Also...Where are these companies where you dont have any overlapping meetings?
Apple ID login seems to be on the rise, GitHub is very popular for tech stuff, so these tendencies change over time.
Well that stinks

Twitter Thread Sample 2
Here is how BYJU's lost almost 75% of its valuation.

A thread...

[1] At one point in time BYJUs was valued at 22Bn.

Now, Prosus- one of BYJU's investors- has stated that the fair value of the firm is 5.7Bn$.
Image
[2] Why did the valuations got crushed? For this you need to understand the power of debt!

[3] In 2020, due to COVID crash: debt was cheap.

- Taking a loan was extremely cheap (no one wanted to hold money)
- Why? Interest rates were extremely low. Why would you want to do a fixed deposit at 4-4.5% rates? (when inflation is 7-8%).

[4] You would simply go and risk that money in stocks/startups/other places.

On top of this: due to COVID, many businesses shut shop and many were available at discounts to buy.

Almost every big firm, big investor understood this.

[5] Therefore, we saw Reliance raising massive capital (why? cheap debt).

Startups like BYJU's did the same.

More acquisitions meant more revenues.
And, a sense of growth.

[6] Unfortunately, there is a temporarily halt in cheap credit, in 2022.

And, it might take at a year or two for the cheap credit story to revive.

People are impatient about growth.

More interestingly, they become even more impatient, if there is de-growth.

So the fastest SiFive chip seems to be the P600? Are there any benchmarks where it’s compared with similarly priced ARM chips? I couldn’t find any
True, but Arduino sounds better and drives clicks as it is well known.

Most readers, even on HN, don't know exactly what AVR is. It could very well be Automatic Voltage Regulator.
I'm not a DDD advocate but it worries me that the blog author has not referenced the 2003 Eric Evans book "Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software".
I'm very excited! Got it for myself as an Christmas gift.

My only concern is the PCB quality looked poor but they were pre-production models.
That's a good explanation of general price differences between an expensive and a cheaper area, e.g. that Manhattan prices would be 50% higher than more rural New York prices. But I was under the impression here that deodorants in particular were 2-3x more expensive on manhattan, but that the difference was smaller for other goods.

Usually the US (Even the most expensive parts) would be a lot cheaper than e.g. Oslo or Zurich. That's not the case unless there is something else going on here , e.g. that they aren't the same product due to different size and so on.
Maybe I'm crazy but I hate packaging.
Packaging should be standardised and regulated.
You should only be able to buy soft drinks in aluminium cans or glass bottles for example.
Why is plastic even an alternative?

Just regulate packaging. Make standards for packaging and the world will be a better place I believe.
I just checked Amazon UK and I can buy 6 sticks of Sure deodorant for £6.

Or one stick for £3.
I totally agree, but most people sign a contract for hours and get paid per hour or per day. They are therefore selling hours.

If you are contracted and paid on outcomes then of course take as many jobs as you can fit in to your day.

Everyone knows the difference so this is no justification whatsoever.
Freelance. On the internet.
If your employer expects you to work 50 or 60 hours while only paying you for 40 hours then that is indeed also illegal.
>I've actually had quite a bit of success listening to these people and addressing their concerns point by point with citations to studies. They may be less educated and informed, but they're not blithering idiots and will come around if you engage in a good faith discussion with them

Would they have been so receptive if it was a stranger rather than a family member feeding them the same information?

The example I was thinking of wasn't a blithering idiot. He was an engineer who was afraid of needles. That kind of turned him into an idiot with respect to vaccines.
I'll mix up a few different languages and I'll probably be taking it easy after the halfway mark, and looking up a lot of the solutions. Last year's was very tedious, the instructions get so contrived that just reading through them was a slog.

It somewhat reminds me of the history of video games.

Back "in the day" game programmers and others were seen as largely disposable labor and did not even have their names listed in any sort of credits. This is what led directly to the creation of Activision. A handful of programmers (in very small teams) were responsible for the large majority of Atari's sales, but were receiving relatively meager wages, and not even receiving credit for their products.

So these 4 programmers started a new company - Active Television - Activision, where the people building the products being used received credit, alongside better compensation for such. And today, 40 years later, Atari is Atari while Activision is Activision. Of course the irony being that Activision has gradually become another metaphorical Atari meaning 40 years from now there will undoubtedly be some new name in here, but such is the cyclical nature of everything in society.
> since they have the disposable funds

You have disposable funds, you MUST give it to what I deem to be important. Thanks.
TBH I find Big Lebowski bit overrated compared to the other greats. It's a nice movie, no doubt, but not in the same league as Strangelove or Goodfellas or Godfather.
In the US, the employee would get the overpaid taxes back as a tax credit when they file taxes. But the employee could change their tax withholding using form W-4 so that the federal taxes are not overpaid.

That doesn't answer the question he's not talking about worker protection laws. He's talking about a clause in employees contracts saying they can't have a second job.

The CEO's in your country will have contract's they will just not mention anything about being overemployeed as that Standard for most CEO's.

Have I missed something? What’s wrong with this WC?
Honestly, I don't feel bad for the companies who hire the person. I feel bad for the people who need to work with them. I'm sure we've all worked with people who aren't pull their weight and it drags things down and makes everything a little bit worse. Even if you don't end up doing more work because of them, which you often will, it's just crap having one person who takes 3-days to do a 4-hour task.

At work, I don't go the extra mile because it'll help the company or will make them more money. I do them because it's helping someone out. The woman from finance needs an export of the data, I'll create her an export because it makes her life easier. The guy from devops needs a bug fixed because it's annoying the living hell out of him. I'll fix it after hours so it stops annoying him. For the most part I don't care about the company. But I do care about the people around me.

Also IANAL, but if you're contract says 40 hours, you're to work for 40 hours. Doesn't matter if they're needed or not. If they're not needed you stand/sit and wait for new work. Working for another company while getting paid to work for another would almost certainly be considered fraud in many countries. Especially those where lying on your CV is fraud.
There is a limit to this reasoning, though. As the wagered amount starts to become a significant fraction of your wealth, you should not make the bet even on very certain matters. Because that's the way you go broke in the long run, even on very sure bets. (Expose yourself to a 1 % loss often enough and eventually you will suffer it.)

In other words, we might be "diffident" at the prospect of "staking the happiness of our whole life" but that does not mean that "our belief does not reach so far." It just means we are rationally evaluating the risk of ruin in the long run.
Regardless of whether the managers are clueless or not, software companies operate on trust that the engineers' estimates of how long work will take, is based on the difficulty of the work with the natural assumption that you are devoting all your working hours to that work, and that there's not some hidden multiplier in your work estimates because you're splitting time with other jobs.

Unless you tell your team and your manager "I only work 1/x of my time at this job", it is deceit.
It's very easy: if your software gets complex enough you abstracted so much stuff (service layers implementing common actions) that everything is interwoven. You're blocking yourself from iterating. You can't react to changes in requirements or do isolated refactoring. If your logic is encapsulated (and with a sprinkle of hexagonal) you have no problem. If everything is connected you touch lots and lots of features. Also a problem is feature retirement. With DDD you just delete the class/file/function.
Oooh, we have all missed it. What would we do without him.
He is working multiple jobs and says he has more time for family and friends (I.e. working less).

What is a "highly satisfactory" level? I don't understand how you can work less, with more context switches and maintain a "highly satisfactory" output at all your places of work.

The more likely explanation is that people who do this are mediocre employees and/or sandbagging at the companies they work at.
> High level execs, especially in the C-level suites, are very commonly collecting multiple pay checks for sitting on the boards or advisory panels of a half dozen or more corporate entities.

which is fine as long as those boards knows of it, none of this is hidden. And as board members, you needed to have at least some sort of financial interest in the company, or be able to convince the shareholders of said company to elect you into the board, and you can assume that they do so knowing that you might sit on multiple boards.

Most of these chips have perfectly fine Linux kernel support, it just comes more from the community rather than the vendor, and that is a common practice among pretty much all manufacturers other than the Raspberry PI Foundation. Just pick the distribution that suits your needs. Either the usual ones that already support the ARM architecture (Debian, Alpine, etc) or others specifically made for embedded systems such as Armbian and DietPI. Hardware support is a moving target; if your board doesn't appear there today, check the forums, then return in a week. The amount of work these folks are doing is amazing and well worth of donations and other contribution.

https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported

https://dietpi.com/#download

Using a distribution developed by the community is a lot better than relying from the vendor: no planned obsolescence because the vendor wants to sell the latest board, and great integration between different boards from different manufacturers. Of course that means some more time to wait until support by the community reaches a stable state, which I concur can be a subjective problem; not a huge one however.

The problem is, there are jurisdictions in which loli and similar content can be classified as CSAM [1], and there are jurisdictions where e.g. the operator of a federation server can be held liable for facilitating access or for not blocking access to such material, even if the material in question isn't hosted at that server, such as in Germany (the case in question [2] was about software piracy, but the general legal principles apply just the same).

Legal systems worldwide haven't even begun to catch up with tech developments, and I think it will take at least a decade until regulations adapt.

Let's assume our friend takes one day off a week. Then he's working 13 hours a day, every week, for a year. Nope, this is b.s.
I thought the DDD hype has died down a bit, but I guess not.

Eric Evans (inventor of DDD) has said in recent years that unfortunately once a team is big enough, all the invisible conceptual boundaries between domains blur and disappear. People do NOT have the discipline to do DDD correctly.

But do you know what helps? Having physical boundaries you can't cross so easily. Microservices. Or as I call them... just "services". Eric Evans has said that people using microservices may represent the most successful application of DDD's principles, not because people using them were fans or even aware of DDD, but microservices enforce the patterns DDD Evans was describing.
Seymour Hersch came to similar conclusions, and was pilloried for it.

By Bellingcat, the Western intelligence services' pet wikileaks.

Assange did 'citizen journalism' wrong, and he has been deprived of normal human freedoms for more than a decade because of it, while never being charged of any crime.

Even now he resides in quasi-solitary confinement in one of the UK's most notorious prisons, still he has never been charged with a crime.

The treatment of Assange is, with Guantanomo Bay, an obvious and continuously damaging rebuke to the West's posturing about human rights and freedoms. In retrospect we should not have been surprised by the EU's blanket censorship of Russian media and 24/7 pro Ukrainian propaganda.

What is happening to Assange is a warning to all of us. If we choose to pettifog about the definition of a journalist, or complain about political partisanship, we are missing the larger point completely.
Larger models are still much better. Google's parti model can do text perfectly and follows prompts way more accurately than Stable Diffusion. It's 20B parameters and with the latest int8 optimizations it should be possible to get that running on a consumer 24GB card in theory.

I think they're looking into larger models later though

>Unfortunately, as the world’s worst plastic polluters, Coca-Cola and her allies cause animals such as the Nova Scotia whale to get ingested with fishing gears and plastics

Explain to me again how coca cola caused a whale to ingest fishing gear?

I'm not particularly pro plastic waste, but I'm forced to infer from this article that the whale died from ingesting fishing gear, and the author used plastic waste as a stick to beat the largest brands with.

To people trying to get me on board with your cause. Misleading me tends to undermine any good arguments you may have had. If you think you're right, be honest.
That was my first reaction too but it does kind of mess with it being a joke about /robots.txt, which is grandfathered in at the root. Also, /.well-known/ is not very human-friendly.
What possible useful purpose could this serve other than an ego stroke for the people who list themselves in it?

Anyway a variation on this ego-stroke existed back in the day, the webmaster! No one emailed the webmaster back then either (despite his/her multiple pleas on every page) so I can't fathom how anyone thinks this sort of silliness will take off.

Good on them though, but I can't help but feel not enough people liked or subscribed to their YouTube channel.
Most salaries position doesn't describe specific tasks after the completion of which you'd be free - it's more that you're expected to do the maximum tasks your salaried hours would have you complete, to the max of your abilities.

If you do two jobs at the same time, i find it highly improbably that you'd be doing both to the max of your abilities.

If you do two jobs but serially - aka, a different job after hours of the first, you'd be burning yourself out i imagine.
DDD sounds amazing, but y'all the pull requests are usually a dozen files with tiny changes. At least from what I have seen.

And the promise is "change is easy" or "impact to existing code is low." This may be true. Is it?

I have the Evans book. It may completely change the way I write code. But I also have "C Interfaces and Implementations," and that promises another. Yet another is Stepanov's "Elements of Programming," which by first chapter's end Feynman is telling me to read it again [1].

We just want to make Good Decisions about the code, right? Strategically (architectures) and tactically (pure functions).

This is mostly a function of policies that explicitly allow and tolerate this sort of behavior as a sort of “pay back” and “release valve” for the poor, addicts or generally speaking under represented social classes.

As the wage gap and opportunity gap widens in the US, allowing shoplifting is actually an intentional release valve that is being tolerated and even outright legally permitted (California Prop 47), because - without it - we would see more home break-ins, kidnappings of wealthy people and more severe offenses. Instead, shoplifting is relatively harmless and prevents this type of escalation of crime.

“Panem et circenses” said the Romans, shoplifting is a form of “panem”. I think many don’t understand the incredible pressure pot that is the US at the moment with vast negative social pressures and inequality. If it explodes, all bets are off: the US could look a lot like South Africa and Brazil than what it is now.

This plus some political survivorship too: votes are all equal, and when most people are disadvantaged or about to become disadvantaged, politicians cater more and more to them (populism) in order to survive and dominate in the political arena.
So like about page but worse ? I can't see benefits
There is obviously a long tradition of trying to stop the negative effects of invasive species, especially as it affects livestock and crops. Sometimes with chemicals, sometimes by introducing "natural enemies" in the environment, and now also as in your example by sometimes teaching livestock to avoid the new menace. Many times causing other, sometime serious, problems instead.

I'm not saying let nature have its course at all times, only that over time nature will likely solve the problem of an invasive species in its own way, and we should learn to expect it and work with it.
