$10 p/h ?

are you joking? if you can find good (I don't want really great) Spring devs for under $80.00 p/h let me know.

You can hire at that rate and everyone I hired had faked their experience and could get through the interview but did a terrible job.

So we ended up firing everyone and had 3 devs for above $110 p/h that were truly awesome who got the job done.

These are very different scenarios though.

iTunes wasn’t a secret. Apple didn’t bait you. It was well known you needed to use iTunes.

On Android you have regular apps that turn into Malware. Samsung will sell you a phone/TV then introduce/increase the amount of ads/malware with a software update.

The problem isn’t that there are ads. The problem is that the ads are introduced after you’ve already purchased it. This doesn’t happen with Apple, and that’s something many people value more than being locked into a walled garden.

If management is heavily signaling they don’t want remote work, believe them. When the layoffs come, the remote workers will be very close to the front of the line to get the axe.
Not inherently, when the numbers get big - strange things happen. It's not unreasonable that there would be insurance of insurance - it's also not unreasonable that there would be market traded contracts for the insurance of insurance.

I went to Europe on a work retreat with all my coworkers last month, ~1/2 of whom are based there, and came to the same conclusion. “Oh, it’s actually just America that is so wildly inhospitable, not being back in the office.”

Wow, this is really great information. It makes a lot of sense. Masks make it more likely to breathe in aerosols and vaccines make it more likely to get infected. You should share these findings with the scientific community. We need more studies like yours.

I work about 10 min away from the Chelsea Google office in NYC. It's just like you said. I usually start my day reading near my apartment and then going to the office. The subway is right under the building, so I can often get to where I'm going after work conveniently. The pharmacy and groceries are on the way home. When I'm not feeling well, I just go home to rest. Or if I'm need to go home and wait for a package. But lower Manhattan is one of the few pockets of "European-style" walkable areas in the country.

Did you just use an anecdote to describe a pandemic? It being global is in the name. It has nothing to do with you individually.
I take it as the SEC recognizing that they screwed up in watching FTX and now they're correcting. SBF was a golden boy the month before everything collapsed—it would be a mistake for anyone to assume that either Binance or Coinbase is above board just because they have a good reputation right now.

The SEC is sending a message that the days of crypto exchanges being largely unregulated are over, and they're probably doing that because of how badly they screwed up with FTX, not in spite of it.
Some people do have very specific demands of company office environments because they don't like working in more open settings with ambient noise.

For me, if I could walk 5-10 minutes to an office (especially with people I actually worked with, which wouldn't be the case if I drove 30 minutes to the nearest office) I'd probably do so pretty regularly. For me, it's definitely mostly about the commute which would be 30+ minutes to the closest office and then I wouldn't know anyone there.
Would you rather be 5 minutes from your office or your kids’ school? Or 5 minutes from your office or 5 minutes from your extended family? Or 5 minutes from the beach? Or 5 minutes from the ski slopes?

There are a lot of locations that really benefit me being close to them than being close to the office.

Also, 5 minutes from the office is not very far. If a lot of people work at the office, living spaces 5 minutes from the office will either end up really expensive or really small.
Again, the flip side of that is that they depress wages - not only for unskilled jobs. You probably wouldn't be happy if you're an accountant on one side of the building and in the other side the people working in the meat packing plant are making as much as you.

Well, as someone else replied in the thread, if pure ethanol (98% is basically pure) has 30% less energy density than gasoline, then a mix of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol has 3% less energy density.

I'm not sure what you mean by E-10. Basically all gasoline that is sold in the US is E-10. You have to look hard to not get E-10. I doubt you have performed the experiment you described, for the simple reason that it's hard to find gasoline that's not mixed with ethanol. I just googled, and apparently gasoline without ethanol is called "recreational gasoline", or REC-90 [1].

I haven’t found my European colleagues to be any nicer than the American ones. In fact, they’re often more straightforward in ways that would seem inappropriate or cruel in America.

What they are not, however, is so deeply motivated by fear that if they lose their job, they’ll lose their house/health insurance/families, be labeled a worthless outcast by society etc. That seems to be the primary difference in determining how toxic people’s behavior is in the workplace.

I'm not sure what you want out of the web then, or what your experience of it is. I'm not referring to social media and associated services at all to be clear, the majority of these social media sites I've encountered the last dozen years hadn't searched well (for something specific) since many, initially or a couple years in, either by agreement with search engines or via constructed means to wall off the bulk of user content ie search for a quote text and search engines bounced around it, even if the term was highly unusual.

As for impact, very much so, just many wouldn't have had a reason to have run into or know what obstacles are on the field. I have done a lot of research on behalf of other people, a lot is plain and simple, some of it was iffy but from my point of view, legitimate. (IMO you only really own something if you can fix it, otherwise you're just paying renting fees albeit under a different name.) It has meant for much of my net use the last two decades, has been using search engines for a wide range of topics, quite the journey sometimes - frankly I've been surprised how much effort some companies put into burying information (even as far as creating a honeypot affair (site/account) to just bush any one seeking a bit of help) - a lot of the time it's something that might otherwise stop some poor sod from becoming a sucker of an overpriced fix. This action prompts spammers (some are direct, some are very subtle and involve themselves in forums) who try to capitalise on a market that's had the information contained by offering easy results to find - generally illegal downloads which further waters down legitimate search results. At some point there's a huge number of results and yes it further swamps search engines that are genuinely trying to deliver. Overall this now means I've not offered to do so much researching the last few years due to the very limited pool most search engines want to swim in.
I go to an office where they have the AC running on full blast. It's insane, I'm freezing inside, and then outside it's like 90 F. Why do office people do this? Is it like that in EU or is it just a NA thing?

Imagining your scenario is like utopia to me. I hate going on the bus, always some crazy homeless person there, but I don't want to pay for parking either.

I wouldn't mind the office if it was like that. Safe and easy to get to. What a dream.
I mean, offices used to have cubicles and the noise wasn’t nearly as bad. Maybe we could bring those back.

Oh wait, that much sq ft per person was “too expensive” so I guess we’re all going back to open plan hell.

This goes beyond the question of legal risks and statutory limits, CC’s are debt which means someones money isn’t tied up during a dispute.

So much of this domain knowledge for repairs, etc. needs to be learned over time and actually doing the activity itself because there are many nuances and odd things builders have done for no apparent reason. It’s cheaper to do regular maintenance and repairs rather than whole replacements. If this sounds like software development that’s why the analogy of an app and a house are so commonly used.

That being said, research safety elements of owning a home, this is usually where gas, electricity and water come into or out of your house. I mean all the gases, not just natural/fuel. Air is a gas and a blocked dryer vent is a common cause of house fires. Carbon monoxide can be lethal, have detectors and change their batteries. You probably like computers, research some safety stuff about circuits you’ll be powering them from and GFCI and how things may fail. Next after human safety would be knowing what to do for major mechanical system failures to prevent them from compounding. For example if you live in a cold climate, how to shutoff water and drain pipes if your heat goes out (so while you are at a warm nearby hotel waiting for a HVAC repair your pipes don’t burst).

Knowing about general safety stuff and how to turn things off is a great start. Beyond that you can just pay someone else for nearly anything that comes up. Insured/bonded and licensed trades people from medium sized companies are a good place to start. Getting an astronomical quote to connect a couple sinks to existing PVC pipes might motivate someone to DIY it from a home center. When you’re at the home center, know that you will, without a doubt, be making multiple trips because you don’t know shit, so when you have a thought like “I think this is the right fitting” buy 1 size larger and 1 size smaller and just return the unused ones on your next visit.

Erasing the fossil fuel industry over night would have the unfortunate effect of grinding the rest of the economy to a halt. You can't just look at it in isolation. Unless you had something like worldwide nationalization in mind. I suppose then it might be possible to transport other goods while still eliminating the speculation on and profiteering of the fossil fuel industry.

I'm not "blaming immigrants." That's exactly the attitude I'm talking about when I say you're called racist. I'm blaming our governments for allowing and/or encouraging it. It's completely insane to open the floodgates when housing prices are through the roof.

I don't understand how you could think millions of people coming over here couldn't affect the supply side of supply and demand, but considering your list of grievances I think it's pretty clear where you lie on the political spectrum and couldn't possibly blame immigration for anything.

Point me towards where people are "hoarding" property. Rental units don't count as they still contribute to the housing supply.

Wages have also been depressed for a long time by immigrant labor, from illegal immigration to H1Bs. Healthcare costs are, again, increased by (illegal) immigration. Illegal immigrants can go to the ER, get treated for free, and we're all stuck with the costs.

None of these are the only causes, but it's a contributing factor and one side of the political spectrum won't acknowledge it and the other pretends to while still allowing it for big businesses' sake.

2 days a week in an office is useless. Either make it 5 days a week in the office with up to x weeks of remote or make it full time remote. When an office requires 2 days a week in an office, you get none of the alleged benefits of in person work as everyone chooses which days they want. In a part time remote situation, the office ends up being 60% empty all the time anyways, and it's almost always a waste of time to hold a meeting in an office if even one of the attendees is remote, which is extremely common in modern software teams.

If you really need air, which I found was basically necessary on hot smoky days without AC, I put a MERV 13 20x20x4" HVAC filter in my window and drew air through it with a box fan. This took out most of the small particles (verified with air quality monitors) and cooled off the inside of the house.
Totally agree. Working from the office is a dealbreaker for me yet I prefer working in an office compared to home. I just hate wasting a portion of my day to commuting or turning a 8 hour work day into a 10 hour workday for the same pay.

In my experience it seems like the people who make the decisions on returning to the office are those who can afford to live close to the office.
It may be that what Rust allows here is not perfect, but it is not exactly bad. Certainly, compared to most languages, there is nothing abnormal about allowing many files in a tree of directories in a crate, gem, egg, rock, package, module, &c.
From the article I linked: "For the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2022, CBP stopped migrants more than 2,766,582 times, compared to 1.72 million times for fiscal 2021, the previous yearly high. "

Those are 2.7 million STOPS. It's not an estimate. The means the number of people actually crossing is higher. Those stopped are generally given a court date and released into the country. Someone transporting drugs wouldn't be.

> So while Go encourages having reasonably sized packages, Rust unfortunately encourages huge crates.

Interesting since I think Rust very much encourages the opposite, which is why so many crates like hyper, regex, and others, are actually composed of many crates.

I don't really get the main thrust of the article. Go forces directories to map to packages. That sounds... awful. I guess it "encourages small packages" because you can't even organize them into folders? IDK, I feel like I'm missing something - particularly, I'm missing why big or small is good or bad, or why creating a crate is onerous.
