While this was somewhat true about TUD:OS, note that Genode is very different.

Particularly, Sculpt[0] provides a dynamic scenario for Genode, where programs can be launched and stopped, installed and removed, without giving up the properties the use of capabilities thorough offer.

Besides offering virtual machines as a way to get around its own limitations, it does currently support sound, accelerated graphics and enough POSIX butter to run a webkit-derived browser without relying on e.g. a Linux VM.

On the other hand, if you take advantage of having a lot of PTO, you get a lot of PTO.

So do cars. And really how often? Can you point me to some evidence of this?

Regardless of the numbers, what's your argument here?

Why are you so happy to have a federal agency nanny away our choices of home energy supply?
Yup. I worked a long time at a company with service years based PTO. Finally earned the coveted 6 weeks PTO, which is pretty nice for a US company.

About 2 years later, they decided to flip us to 'unlimited PTO' and put that typical HR BS spin on it.

That was the last straw for me, after a couple other little 'f u' changes (once a year 401k match, for example). Cashed out my PTO and went elsewhere.

This is true in California but not everywhere.

The benefit of unlimited PTO (FTO) is only a benefit if you take it.

I've had FTO for the last five years and I will never go back to 15/20 days of PTO.

There is no way a pro can install a GFCI for less than $150 in the ideal case where everything else is up to code. Anything non ideal adds cost. While there isn't much labor, you also have to count the time to get from the last job to yours, and other overhead.

I sent this right away to my son that does FIRST robotics. It's amazing the tools that he has available to him.
I once worked at a place that transitioned from formal PTO to "unlimited" PTO. Many of us had accrued a good chunk of time on the old system, and the rules of the old system was that it carried year after year. When "unlimited" PTO was implemented, management decided not to reimburse us for our accrued time, since "it was all now covered by 'unlimited'" and so we didn't technically "lose" any time. Didn't feel right, but I didn't know how to voice it at the time.

A few months ago there was a Forbes contributor article (e.g., blog post) that claimed that Google was going to lay off 10,000 people (6% of the company). Their argument for this was that Google introduced a new performance review system in 2022 that changed the expected ratings distributions such that roughly 6% of the company was expected to receive either of the two ratings below the baseline "significant impact" rating.

From this, oodles of news outlets reported the headline: "Google plans on laying off 10,000 people."

The new performance review system was created in 2021 and announced in like March 2022. It is independent of the current context of tech layoffs. Maybe Google will lay people off, I don't know. But the original post is just baseless nonsense and it is frustrating to see it repeated all over the place.
Thanks, hope you have a good time with it!
I transferred from finite PTO to unlimited PTO and made it clear to my boss how many days I would plan on taking to make sure that's reasonable. I think even with unlimited it's important to have a rough agreement with your higher ups so there's no surprises.
I'm asking about security, not performance or anything else. How does 11 make old hardware less secure than 10, assuming it's only new features that cannot work?
I'm curious if there is some productivity-improving tech for electricians waiting to be invented. The following will be super North-America-centric, but:

Right now you have to fasten a box to the wall structure, cut the wire so that about 8" can make its way into the box, strip the outer insulation and insert it into the box, strip at least some of the individual conductors, and then splice (by twisting and using wire nuts, or less commonly using a press-fit dingus) the ones that need to be spliced.

You then repeat that for every outlet (which in electrician-speak includes lamps and such) on the circuit. Then repeat that for every circuit. You are now ready for your "rough" electrical inspection (the one before the in-wall wiring is covered).

Then before the final inspection you have to individually connect each conductor to (usually) a screw on the actual device before cramming^H^H^H^H^H^H carefully folding the wire back into the box and screwing the device in place, followed by screwing the cover in place.

Repeat for every outlet in the unit and you are ready for your final inspection.

What I'm picturing is a special box that can insulation-displacement-crimp right onto the wire (probably with some giant pliers. On the inside it has some sockets that the eventual device plugs straight into, possibly with a sort of optional middleware layer that can reconfigure the connections for less common hookups.

So you crimp all the boxes to the wire and fasten them to the wall structure and you're ready for the rough inspection.

Then after the walls are covered you plug in the devices directly for all of the common configurations (e.g. just a receptacle in a string of receptacles) and fiddle with some kind of middle layer for the oddball configurations (e.g. a duplex receptacle where one of them is switched).

As an alternative to the "middleware" maybe there are a collection of different boxes that are pre-configured for the circuit arrangement in question (not unlike plumbing components are today).
I have someone on my team who took 12 weeks PTO last year, yet still created outsized value for the company.

I have someone who we lured to the team by offering 4 weeks off in the first 2 months of his employment so he could do a pre-planned trip. Didn't require any special approvals because it's just an SOP.

I have someone who regularly takes 2-3 days off every month, because he works in concentrated bursts of energy, then needs to decompress.

And of course, I have one person who NEVER takes time off, because they always have so much to do and are afraid to let a ball drop. This leads to overwhelm, and a ball drops anyhow. So I need to force them to take time off.

As with all things, it's not just the mechanism, but the environment that mechanism exists within. It needs to be deployed alongside strong accountability mechanisms - planning, goaling, 1:1s, team health assessments, and performance reviews - otherwise it can be abused, or it can be hard to say 'no' to a request, or it can be hard to know when people aren't taking time they need.

But if you've done that, it's an incredible tool.

I think it's great, because I have no problem actually taking it. As a parent, it was really hard to juggle the huge number of days-off that schoolchildren get when I worked for a place that had fixed PTO. I am really happy to now have unlimited PTO.

I suppose the ideal would be to work for a place that gives you something like 6-8 weeks fixed PTO, but I don't know too many places doing that.
Yea, that’s been my biggest problem. The target is now different, so I can’t call event.target.value
I tried removing the shuffle and got these results:

Finished 100 runs of popping from 10000000 elements in 208.10663533210754 seconds.

Finished 100 runs of manually 'popping' via headat tracking from 10000000 elements in 243.4968180656433 seconds.

Which means that the shuffling code took about 80% of the runtime since including the shuffle took about 1000 seconds and now it's about 200 seconds. But if you look at the updated times I just quoted you see that pop()ing is still faster than manually incrementing a subscript!

Tracking the pointer without any copying takes about 16% longer which is really hard for me to understand. How can all those memmoves still be faster than simply incrementing a subscript without changing or moving anything at all?
It has gotten worse, but to say it's back to 1998 levels is a bit much. The web was orders of magnitude smaller then, and Altavista still sucked.
If you use all your PTO there really is no difference though, so I guess if you're the kind of person who burns through all their available PTO, I would not consider a Unlimited PTO employer a bad deal. Some of the agencies I work with at my job, they have unlimited PTO, we only found out because one of my managers noticed one particular person had a lot of PTO they ran through last year.
If you can’t request off the entire year and get approved, it isn’t unlimited.
That's interesting, are there some benchmarks that prove the inferiority of the Mac scheduler? (Without getting you into an NDA trouble, of course.)
Usually when a company is moving from PTO to DTO they are just trying to get the liability off the books. Management knows that most employees, especially new hires, don't take all of their days. It does nothing to help employees but that is how it is pitched.

If employees were actually utilizing unlimited DTO the company would switch back to accrued PTO. I've seen this happen with an explicit claim that employees were "abusing" the generosity of the company. Said company later switched back to DTO to force employees a few years later to burn down their accrued PTO balances.
Almost for sure that's what happened to the OP as he was having an external disconnect, so the entire panel got depowered + likely big lines were run for whatever he needed the disconnect for. There's sometime exceptions for Solar now that don't require full upgrades, but some cities don't give a fuck.

The US is way worst about this than most other places though. Here they inspect your insulator, lead-in wires, meter, and distribution panel and then ask what if any problems you are having (they is the power company) every four years. Mostly the electrician/contractor does the work and there's no inspection of that.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an endpoint security solution developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools and supplies real-time protection against malware, ransomware, and other threats on endpoints, such as PCs, laptops, and servers.

Defender for Endpoint leverages Microsoft's Threat Intelligence service, which is continuously updated with new intelligence and machine learning algorithms, to supply up to date information on the latest threats and how to protect against them. It also includes a range of tools and features to help organizations investigate and respond to threats, including the ability to view and analyze alerts, investigate suspicious files and processes, and take remediation actions.

Defender for Endpoint is managed and monitored through the Microsoft Defender Admin Center, which is a cloud-based portal that supplies additional visibility and insights into an organization's security posture. Defender for Endpoint can also be deployed and configured through Intune using the Microsoft Endpoint Admin Center.

Overall, Defender for Endpoint supplies a comprehensive endpoint security solution that helps organizations protect their endpoints against threats and maintain a secure environment.
That is incorrect. The EU/UK are on 230V at 50Hz at residential service entry. The point does not stand.
It's fine if you, your coworkers, and your manager have the discretion to understand vacation is not optional. I've never seen this. It usually ends up being a race to the bottom, driven by people who think working at (or coercing, in the case of managers) a burnout pace is inherently virtuous somehow.
I'll never go back to regular pto. No us companies offer more then 4 weeks. Even then you need to build up to it. With unlimited I was taking around 6 weeks off every year plus the random days it allows for.
2022 was a year of climate extremes, with record high temperatures
Manager perspective: I think it should be explicit. When you use “unlimited” you invite fear in some (of overusing their PTO) and abuse in others. Ultimately I prefer employees feel 100% confident and safe about using PTO. We give a number we feel good about and insist employees take it. Not sure if it’s changed but we don’t roll over on grounds that we expect you to use it.
Interestingly, that seems to be a US-only problem.
I love me some good government gridlock.

- it turns an explicit allowance/limit into an implicit one which is a negative imo

> Large companies like Uber learned this the hard way:

Uber is really not a good example. Many Uber engineers created services for the sake for claiming their territories or for sheer stupidity. On the other hand, managing services in Netflix was a non-event, and people really exercised their judgement carefully when it came to creating a new service. Yeah, I'm saying Uber's problem was cultural and organizational, not technical.
> Particularly if the organization just went through an extremely ultra-fast hiring spree where it's likely low quality candidates were hired.

The trick is identifying those low quality candidates. You can try to measure them, but once you measure them they become a target, and you get to the equivalent of the person who takes all the easy jobs from a queue because they then think they'll be higher in the value queue.

Get an old one and save money. I haven't looked at it in probably 20 years and it was an amazing reference even back then. The theory of electronics doesn't change and this book does a great job of taking you from basic theory to designing complex circuits.

There's also Horowitz & Hill's The Art of Electronics which some swear by. I probably read the ARRL handbook cover to cover in high school, so I'm biased :-)
That't not correct at all.

2% are expected to be in the lowest bucket. 4% are expected to be in another "below normal" ratings bucket. Neither of these ratings are tied to PIPs. Even in the old system, most people who received "Needs Improvement" ratings were not given PIPs.

Google also gave details of the rating system and expected distributions in March, not December.

Disclaimer: This is the first time in my career there is a relative industry-wide slowdown, so my future decisions might be driven by other factors, like having to pay rent.

I go to India at least for 4 weeks in a year, sometimes longer. The typical 20 day PTO limit means I'm out of travel budget, have to do off the books deals with my manager, or dance with HR to get unpaid time off.

Since 2015, I instantly decline any job offer that doesn't have unlimited/flexible/discretionary time off. It's doubly useful: when the company has grown bigger, and hired middle managers who don't approve requests, it's time to switch teams/companies. I view it as a leading indicator of the culture changing. From my perspective, I've always been reasonable (I usually take 6 weeks off, and the max I've ever taken is 8).
I'm not saying it is "wrong," I'm just pointing out that world events matter and people should really pay attention and remember what's going on. With COVID, a lot of new stuff happened. We started dining outdoors. Was it going to stay? Maybe, maybe not, but don't just assume it's the new normal.

Just like right now, we still have a war going on, US became the world's natural gas exporter because of the war, how supply chains are still recovering from COVID, and things like that. Suddenly, everything makes a lot of sense with context

Only 5 states require this. Most states allow companies to choose what to do with unused PTO, and many, (surprise!) choose not to pay it out.

This is not my experience, but we update our dependencies multiple times per month. Of course if you let them go for six months or a year you'll be in the situation you are talking about.
The point is that MathML is easier to translate to then many of these other languages. I wrote a language my self a few years ago that translates to MathML (https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/) and MathML was an absolute joy to target.

In mathup I included a second target to update the DOM directly .toDOM() and .updateDOM(oldMathNode) instead of .toString(). This would have been quite difficult if there wasn’t a nice mapping between the language and the DOM nodes. By implementing math in MathML browsers have made it easier for us software authors to write these other languages that serve different purpose then LaTeX. Our users benefit from this proliferation. Ultimately they don’t need to know which language is the native one, because all they write is:

<math-up>ln x = int_1^x 1/t dt</math-up>

And let the library translate to MathML for them.
My claim is that if you don’t have data showing that PE doesn’t tend to deliver on its valuations then it’s probably not justified to attack them for not updating their valuations. Adjusting for market conditions may not be a good model.

I don’t know this to be true, but I feel like I’m claiming the null hypothesis here. That it’s not determinable.

PE held companies are not liquid and undergo significant changes.

Where I work, if I don't use a certain percentage of my earned PTO by Dec 31, it just goes away. They don't cut me a check for it.

I think I'd get paid for unused PTO if I quit or was fired, but I couldn't accumulate more than something like 5 weeks worth.

I'd love to work for a company that had both unlimited and required PTO. If you don't take enough days off for say six months, they force you to take a week or two off.
There is a push to move to electric heat generation in homes in some areas. If electricity goes out you loose heat. In many areas you can have weeks (even months) where the temperature is below freezing. Loose heat to your home and your pipes can freeze. When this happens they burst causing damage to the home.
