It really varies from role to role -- staff engineers/principals/whatever nomenclature used can be just another manager/director or a pure dev with light mentorship/heavy resource for helping with hard dev problems and designs and anywhere in-between.

Also regarding nomenclature of the titles -- its all over the place in the wild some places call jr's "staff software engineer" sometimes its seniors or principals.
It wasn't money, specifically, but when I moved to CA back at the start of 2008 it was because I was in a similar situation. I was effectively trapped in a rural place without the funds necessary to relocate and development jobs near me had completely dried up. A friend (someone I served with in the military and who owed me a favor or three) agreed to let me couch surf his place for 3 months. If it worked out, it worked out. If not, I was outta there. I had a software engineering job by the end of first or second week.
> I don't know their exact reasoning, but I always add licenses when publishing software I write, and they always are ones I didn't design (because I've never written a license myself). I don't think it's that crazy to use an established license that seems to be working well in a community you'd like to emulate when trying to launch you're own; I doubt Paizo had any more idea than the rest of us that WotC would pull something like this.

I understand this, but you don't use licenses designed by your business competitors whose main product is in direct competition to your own. The analogy here would be Microsoft using a license designed by Apple for Windows and MS Office! Or whatever their major line of products is nowadays.
In your shoes I would have an earnest conversation with the top people on the team, and see if they have any aspirations for management.

Once watched a new position grow from a manager who wanted more hands-on time and an engineer who wanted to see what it was like to lead: the engineer became the new manager, and the old manager became the 'team lead'.

IMO it worked great because now I had two people to go to for specific concerns: technical stuff to the team lead, HR stuff to the manager.
“On 12/15/98, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Mathis shot three victims in the head with a .45 caliber pistol at a known drug house in Fort Bend County, Texas. One of the victims, a 15-year-old Hispanic female survived the shooting, paralyzed from the chest down. Mathis reportedly turned the gun on two other intended victims, however, when he attempted to pull the trigger, the gun either misfired or had been jammed.”

“Yes, sir. I just want to say to all my supporters, family and friends; I love y'all and appreciate y'all. To the ones representing me today, thank you for everything. The system has failed me. This is a miscarriage of justice. There are people on death row that need help. I love my family. I love you too, Mom. I am alright. I asked the Lord to have mercy on me and I hope He has mercy on these people carrying out this mass slaughter. They have no respect for humanity. To Melanie, I never meant to hurt you. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am not asking for your forgiveness. All I have to worry about is God forgiving me. I hope you get better and for the doctors to continue to take care of you. Take care of my mother for me. To everybody, know that I love you and I am OK. Lord, have mercy on my soul. Lord, have mercy on my soul. Lord, have mercy on these peoples' soul. Life is not supposed to end this way. No more pain and frustration. When I knock at the gates, they will open up and let me in. To my mom and everybody, I love you. I can feel it right now. My life, my life.”

Interesting seeing the visualization someone else linked that “love” was the most common word.

This person used the word love 4 times, while simultaneously denying his responsibility and saying that it’s the rest of the world that’s bad.

> You actually have to log a damn lot to actually fill up even a single 16 Tb drive with gzip-compressed logs which typically have something like 50x compression for log data.

Now count that for queryable data source so running a database of some sort (Elasticsearch probably for logs) 24/7 at fast enough speeds that it is ops-useful

Metrics are significantly cheaper tho, at least if you use some dedicated TSDB with good storage engine like Victoriametrics or influxdb.
Actually, that would be a proper use for all of the de-aging CGI and AI: give us a Fate of Atlantis with real life actors!

Not sure if Weizenbaum would be honoured.

> Weizenbaum, for his part, turned away from his own project’s expanding implications. He objected to the idea that something as subtle, intimate, and human as therapy could be reduced to code. He began to argue that fields requiring human compassion and understanding shouldn’t be automated. And he also worried about the same future that Alan Turing had described — one where chatbots regularly fooled people into thinking they were human.

Two years ago, Apple claimed there were over a billion active iPhones out there (https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/27/22253162/iphone-users-tot...).

Ballpark, that probably still is true. If people buy a replacement every four years, they’ll sell about 240 million a year. That doesn’t require them to attract millions of new users each year.

Now, why do users buy replacements? They may lose them, the devices may break down, Apple and/or app makers may stop supporting them, and new ones are significantly better (even if all updates are, as you claim, small, they still accumulate into big ones over the years)
> I'd be asking what it is about Christ that turns people into murderous psychopaths...

That's a reasonable question. Christianity does have an emphasis on forgiveness, which I suspect these prison chaplain programs emphasize - so it's more a matter of murderers turning themselves into Christians.

However murder is considered a mortal sin that separates one's soul from god and that cannot regularly be forgiven.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_sin, scroll to 'Actions constituting grave matter' for the list.

The parties seem satisfied with the level of access they have and no law mandating a different process was ever voted.

Except you know when you.actually want to do something valuable with all those logs. You _should_ be creating logs (signals) to be valuable in some way (diagnostics, alerting, canaries statistics), etc. If you're just dumping logs into opaque blobs that are never looked at them sure write them to blobs to your heart's content and have fun hunting and pecking for reasons you're users are already screaming at you. That strategy is fine, but the limitations are clear. It's reactive.
I hope the evidence you find is convincing of the truth.
With Colbert, I at least got the impression that he liked the US and Americans. Did you feel otherwise?

Another impression I got from Stewart and Colbert was that they genuinely enjoyed their work.

Noah seemed disdainful of the US, and like he didn't want to be there.

Its like that feeling when someone tells a joke that they don't think is funny, but expect you to laugh.
I think it looks good on your parole application to have converted to one of the major religions while in prison. Maybe people really believe, but just from a getting-out-ASAP standpoint, pretending to be religious is good business in prison.

Now if you're on death row, I don't know if it matters or not. That might just be legitimate fear, and Jesus has been known to give people second chances where the court system hasn't. Few people spend every day thinking about their own death, but on death row, that's pretty much the only recreational activity available. I can certainly understand why people would go looking for a higher power.

What coreleation this has to recidivism, I don't know, but it's probably a positive signal. (If you believe scripture, you probably don't mind adding a few other rules and regulations on top. Follow those extra rules and regulations and you don't go to prison again.) On the other hand, a lot of priests seemed to skip seminary on the day they had the "don't fuck children" lesson, so I have no idea how it all works out in the end.
Not to mention that it is incredibly expensive in the U.S. to get a court case to a point where it creates binding precedent - and arguably there is no such thing in the modern political environment. So even if every single case is won or settled largely in favor of independent content creators, there will still be a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect on the entire scene, especially on creators whose works would require essentially-from-scratch rewrites to use a different system.

> But it's crazy, right? Using a license designed by a direct business competitor?

Not necessarily. In software we have the MIT license. Anyone can freeze any version of the product and use/distribute it freely in perpetuity regardless of whatever relicensing may happen later to other versions.

It sounds like the OGL was written in that spirit. Whether its legal language will back that up in court, maybe we'll find out.
This is all correct.

One other thing I'd note about this bill: no cosponsors. Cosponsors play no formal role, but cosponsors get to take credit if a bill passes. No cosponsors suggests nobody wants to take credit.

If you can get a cosponsor from the opposite party, it means there's at least some interest on the opposite side. And if you can't even get a cosponsor on your own side, it implies that nobody really cares.

That doesn't mean it's a bad thing to do. It's a statement by that legislator of what they believe in. It's a stake in the ground -- one that somebody could use against you if many of your constituents don't like it.

So it's not hypocritical or valueless. But it helps to know more of the context of the actual legislative process, which is a lot more than you learned on Schoolhouse Rock.
I wish JSON5 was more popular
Seems like a really bad idea to mandate that download be no higher than upload. Would just result in few/no plans with high down bandwidth.
Obligatory IANAL, but I think it's the text itself that's copyrighteable. So you can definitely use the same die rolls or whatever as long as you significantly paraphrase.

Spells and classes names cannot be used if they are trademarked, right? But if WotC didn't trademark "fireball", "paladin" or "hobgoblin", you can totally use them.
> It’s really irrelevant that a board can give signing permission to Joe Blow - Sr. Wizard III, because the counterparty would never accept such a contract

For significant contracts, they’ll either want proof of the existence and scope of signing authority or, without that, accept only the specific officers that the law will bind the corporation for as long as the counterparty doesn't have negative knowledge, which (in CA) is:

Acting individually: no one at all, not even the Chairman/President.

Acting together: one each of either the Chairman, President, or any Vice Preisdent and the
Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, or any Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. (See, Cal. Corporations Code, § 313)

I suppose its possible that some counterparties may take risks on less significant contracts by presuming lesser titles have some signing authority without specific evidence (why, though?), but I can’t imagine that anyone whose signature alone isn’t presumptively valid under applicable state law to bind the company would ever be preferred on the basis of their title versus someone with a less impressive title and documented signing authority.

> Ignoring the pedantic bits an above, an employee will never completely climb the career ladder without a management role.

I think you are confusing a “career ladder” (of which there tend to be multiple within an institution, including, in many areas, parallel “manager” and “specialist” tracks in the same domain) with the organizational heirarchy (of which there is one, and where the very top is definitively a manager). Yes, you will never be a CEO without being in a management role, that is trivially true.
Just read this article and I love how they called the Grand Canyon, the inverted mountain.

I hiked down into it a few years ago. I feel like I'm a well-prepared person. On less than a day mountain hikes, I always bring about 1500 calories worth of bars, 2.5L of water, a flashlight, multitool, and something warm if it's cold. It adds a bit of weight but I feel at ease with some backup tools. I made my way down to the bottom (easy) when I realized I was already out of water. WTF I said and I opened my camelback and behold, there was a hole. When I had sat down for a short breather, a really sharp rock had stabbed right through my bag and water bladder with ease and the the bag completely drained.

I pushed my way back up but it was very hot and I think I hit the first or 1.5 stage of heat exhaustion. Like the article, my brain felt like mush and I felt a massive struggle to move. Luckily, there's a spring or some kind of water source midway or so and I just drank a solid amount of water before moving on to the next. I ended up making it ok but it definitely was uncomfortable thinking you were going to dehydrate as you went up.

Random story but I just wanted to share that you can prepare all you want and sometimes life still tries to kick you in the butt. These days I carry a small garmin device that can call a helicopter anywhere in hte world. It costs a bit but it's worth the peace of mind that if I manage to injure myself to the point of being unable to move, I can call for help.

"Yeah. The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man - convicted of a crime I did not commit. I have been persecuted for 12 years for something I did not do.

I tried it just now with a countertop induction hob (I don't normally use it, it's for when I run out of burners on the tiny stove my current apartment has) and a similar reversible griddle[1], and it heats up without issue. Both sides work fine.

In that scenario, I agree that the price of other cryptos in Tether will go up, if Tether seems like it's actively collapsing. However, that'd be due to Tether's perceived value being significantly less than 1 normal US dollar, or 1 of another US dollar stablecoin.

BTC per Tether goes up, BTC per anything else is unchanged, without considering the loss due to yet another crypto blowup.
Monkeybrains is great for the price, but if you want a more premium and reliable service then there are much better options. Google Fiber (Webpass) does symmetric gigabit. AT&T has 5 gigabit. Sonic 10 gigabit. Of course the real problem is that your building likely won't have any of them.

Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but it does come across that way. Just a data point for you; I got no beef...
Really hope this doesn't affect OGL 1.0a the way some people are saying it will, particularly regarding non-DnD systems. I've been working on a project for several years that's based on the Cepheus Engine RPG system which was published under OGL 1.0a (as it's based on the Traveller SRD which was also used OGL 1.0a), which requires me to publish under that license as well. Now that's all up in the air, what happens if OGL 1.0a becomes 'unauthorized' in this case? If this ends up killing Cepheus I will have wasted thousands of hours of my time.
I'm looking forward to a skyrim-eqsue massively multiplayer open world AI enhanced RPG where the entire game continuously generates more content (that isn't simple fetch quests) and that has ongoing stories that interconnect and weave together to tell stories that build on previous stories. I'd gladly pay a monthly subscription for that if it could work, but I'm guessing we're at least a decade away from even an alpha version of that, possibly more.
This one is easy, as Jesus in the bible clearly says that if you are truly sorry, then even the most heinous will enter heaven, by the saving power of God.

Your response is also predicted.
4E is very divisive. It oversimplified the game into a "turn cards sideways" simulator. Its easier to learn, but no one feels like their character is very unique anymore. Every ability became a card you could print, and you just "tapped / turned it sideways" to activate the card. It made learning characters very simple, but had very little flexibility compared to what the community was used to from 3.5.

5E and Pathfinder are the local optima. Most players say that if you want a "3.5-ish" system, you should do Pathfinder 1.0 instead. If you want a proper simplification of the system, 5E is far superior to 4E.

I have friends who enjoy 4E by the way. But they are in the gross minority. Almost everyone I know who has played 4E agrees with me that it oversimplified the game. Yes, 3.5 was too complex, but 4E overcorrected. 5E found a better simplicity vs flexibility location for most players.

----------

3.5 is fun because almost all the bonuses multiply with each other. So you can string together huge, multiplicative bonuses that stacks in convoluted manners. (Ex; Enlarge Person not only is +2 to STR, but also +2 Damage Dice, so your 2d6 greatsword becomes 3d6 damage). This multiplicatively stacks with Keen Weapon, Inspire Courage, Greater Heroism, Bull Strength, +5 Magic Weapon and more.

But it also makes 3.5 very "sharp". If you fail to see the multiplicative bonuses, you feel very underpowered and fall behind the damage curve.

--------

5th Edition / Pathfinder 2.0 reduce the multiplicative bonuses, but still have hugely unique feeling classes where everyone feels like they have a role to play in the party. It really is a happier medium.

As such, most players today ignore 4.0. If you want simplicity, 5e is "simple enough".
It's like you tried to find the worst faith interpretation of what I said.

The idea that you think A is talking about a group of racists is quite literally insane.
