Is that a "formula"? Or does this happen in some cases where certain factors indicate that hiring at reduced salary for a similar but less experienced worker will yield the same results?

If you have an employee in the company for 20 years and they haven't grown or shown any desire to grow, but has gladly taken raises and promotions; that employee has kind of worked against their own best interests.

If you have a department that has been inflated for a period of time due to temporary need, be it because the need was there or because of 'trends in the industry' a re-org may need to happen to free up resources.

I'm not going to come at this with so much cynicism out of the gate. Most managers and business leaders aren't the meme of the evil top hat monocle man trying to punch down, especially in the professional industry.
I don't have much of a choice, it's what users want and it gives me the biggest footprint. It's about being pragmatic rather than being religious for me.
Which was pennies and thirty years too late. Hence, why the salary increases are just barely keeping thier noses above water. Sprinkle in the creeping erosion and you have people going under unexpectedly. Auto repairs are billed at $140 an hour--doesn't matter if its a brake job or a CAN BUS nightmare. Automobile quality has nose-dived as their costs have increased dramatically. The people at the lower end of pay scales cannot afford automotive transportation at all. They are going under just from that.
I would honestly expect someone with such weak opinions so strongly held like you to do their own homework.
Everyone told me "use Unity" "the biggest mistake you can make is building your own engine". How well did that advice age?

Nobody needs Unity or Unreal.

My most recent game (playshadowvane.com) is built on 100% proprietary technology, I built everything in-house down to the physics.

Always ignore mainstream game dev advice, they are just trying to sell you products. Build as much as you can in-house, it's not only better for the look/feel of the game, but no company will be able to rug pull you later.

Some of the stuff looks pretty cool that they are adding but would probably take a retooling of many workflows to use correctly. They had some very compelling items they were adding in that would make people pick it over others. But with those license terms. That will be a hard pass by many. My guess is they are hurting financially but took cues from their weta tool stack for installs. Where in that industry per install cost is decently normal and just rolled into a production budget. But on the games side that is not going to fly. As it is a one time cost vs recurring. I feel bad for the shops where they are 2 years in with this thing and just had the rug pulled on them.

Yeah! We should keep kids away from technology that has reached 100% saturation in all other parts of society. Schools, as places for learning, definitely shouldn't integrate tech into teaching-- after all, school is definitely only about teaching outmoded skills and not about preparing children to integrate with society.

There's no such thing as normal. The 70s weren't normal what with the oil embargos and stagflation and the end of the Vietnam war. The 80s had banking crises and the beginning of Reaganomics. In the 90s, computers were really beginning to eat the world and geopolitics were realigning with the end of the USSR. The 2000s surely weren't normal—the dotcom bubble burst, 9/11 kicked off wars, the housing market imploded, etc. 2010s had really bizarrely low sustained interest rates. 2020s kicked off with some unusually stringent travel restrictions worldwide and a massive uptick in remote work.

> No it is not, as most people care about Delphi support on Lazarus, not the other way around.

The majority of Lazarus users do not care about Delphi at all, they treat Lazarus as a project of its own, not a free version of Delphi. Lazarus (and Free Pascal) developers provide Delphi compatibility where that makes sense to let people convert their Delphi projects to Lazarus and allow component authors to share code between Delphi and Lazarus, but it was never meant to be 100% compatible nor replicate everything Delphi does.

If you want to share code between Delphi and Lazarus/FPC you are expected to restrict yourself to the common set of features between the two - and even then you are still going to have to do convertions between the two (AFAIK the form format is incompatible and you need to use Lazarus to convert Delphi forms to it) and use IFDEFs in the code.

> Likewise, it is misleading not to consider moving to the actual, maintained Gtk version, migration.

There is nothing misleading here nor there is any migration going on, i explained how the widgetsets are developed very clearly. There are some people working on Gtk3 and AFAIK there is even some Gtk4 code but those are not going to replace the existing Gtk1 and Gtk2 widgetsets. In fact Gtk is not even the only toolkit(s) supported as there are also Qt4, Qt5 and Qt6 widgetsets.

> Whatever how one feels about Gtk development process, supporting the actual version is quite relevant for most people.

And these people can easily help develop the version they want to use, which is precisely what i've done myself. Again, it is a community driven project.

Another Guardian story examines the contrast between Morocco's response to its earthquake disaster, and Libya to Storm Daniel and resulting dam collapses. It highlights some of the same points I've made above:

Peter Beaumont, a senior Guardian international reporter, has spent this week in the Atlas mountains and is a veteran of several reporting trips to Libya. He says: “Libya is a failed – or semi-failed – state that has been caught up in a protracted civil war since 2011, which has obviously had a massive impact on the country’s infrastructure and social cohesion.

“Morocco, on the other hand, is a functioning modern state. The place works – Marrakech, Tangier, Rabat are all modern cities. Ordinary people have been mobilised on a mass scale, and there is a very strong sense of nationhood.”

> Safeway is somewhat insidious with things like this. They'll have a relative price (per pound/oz) for one size of an item, and then for the same item, different size, they'll use a different metric (per packet/slice, etc.) to make them not (easily) directly comparable.

Unless there is a really strong pattern, I think that might be a situation were you shouldn't assume malice when stupidity will do.

I think it's quite likely they get the data from that from some feed who's ultimate source (or sources!) is someone keying in whatever's most convenient without any organizational consistency controls between items.

IIRC, every package has to have a weight/volume measure, but that doesn't make the most sense as the "unit" for many products, and there's even room for legitimate disagreement on what the right measure should be (e.g. should you list a package of sliced cheese by the slice, to use the unit the consumer is probably thinking in, or by the oz, to make it comparable to non-sliced cheese).
My opinion is you should ask your self the questions below:
What is life? Is life the work you complete or is it the way you perceive it? What do you want your life to be? How do you want to spend the seconds of your existence?
This is a path you need to walk alone and determine what you really want. Good luck.

This needs to be regulated properly in the US, because the stores constantly mess with the units for similar items, making it much more difficult to compare at a glance. You'll see a random assortment of measurements for the same product, for example my favorite is shopping for toilet paper and paper towels. You'll see everything from /sheet, /roll, and the best when they just consider the package an entire 'unit'...
The worse combo is shrinkflation with significantly increased price. I used to buy Arm and Hammer detergent (250 FL OZ) from Costco for ~$11 about a year ago. Last week, I went to Costco and saw that they have reduced the size of the container (in a very subtle way so it is hard to notice) with 200 FL OZ and charges $14.89. That is like double rip-off.

My salary did not increase 35% between this and last year. For Church & Dwight (Arm and Hammer brand manufacturer) to not only increase the price by at least 35% with shrinkflation, I wonder where the extra profit are going toward.

When I just immigrated 20 years ago, I used to be in awe at the size of commodities and food portions in the US. Nowadays, things are shrinking noticeably and eventually, stuff bought in the US would look just the same in terms of size as what's available in Burma (Myanmar), which is my home country. That observation makes me feel like the US (and probably all of the affluent western nations) is approaching the end of the era of abundance, and life for the future generation would be tougher. Pretty sad/concerning to think about it.

I guess what I'd ask people who say "the recession is just around the corner, look at datapoint X" to also say what datapoint they'd use to determine that the recession is not just around the corner. Because it feels like the reasoning for why the recession is just around the corner simply fluidly moves between metrics as things change but the "just-around-the-corner-ness" never does.

iPhones have long support cycles. iOS 17 supports the iPhone XS/XR, which were released 5 years ago. So iPhone users don't have to replace their phone as much, reducing environmental impact. Plus with the recycling and other stuff used to make iPhones in the first place, their environmental impact is going to be lower than some other options on the market. Combine these two things together (longer device life, smaller impact for making a new device) and I can believe iPhones have the smallest CO2 footprint.

Isn't this confusing what you choose to do (I also won't pay that much, but that's irrelevant) with economic reality? If Ferrari halved their prices, that would be incredible, but I still wouldn't buy one.

One cause of inflation is when there's a load of money borrowed and spent by government, e.g. on pandemic response, or an overseas war (which also raises prices through, say the price of fuel) and so the basic levers of the economy are pulled by said government to make interest rates higher, which inflates currency. So the exact same good produced in the same way will be more expensive (in amount of money paid).

In that case is it not childish to say that prices just "should come down", if we can't say why they should? Isn't it a good thing when companies give you a massively better product and also beat the inflation from government?

> This company changed it and stopped it, and they still imposed a 2.5% revenue fine for a first offense!!

Knowingly an offense at the time they did it. The company was aware of GDPR, was aware of the consequences of breaking it and still decided to break the law, a large fine is a pretty good and fair punishment given the egregious behaviour.

Are you really defending that just because it was a first time offense a slap on the wrist would be ok to a massive corporation? It's a rules-based system, where the law matters, and the law is to apply a proportional fine to the infringement, no special treatment. I won't be sorry for TikTok, it's criminal behaviour.

TikTok knowingly allowed children to get their personal data harvested against the law, they deserve the punishment.
He doesn't have to fake it. Dude probably believes that there's no connection between right to repair, unsustainable consumption, and planetary destruction. That might be worse than faking it.
What is disgusting with shrinkflation is that it also has an environmental impact. In the end, the same volume/weight will require even more packaging.

But the Supreme Court has held “the constraints of Article III do not apply to state courts, and accordingly the state courts are not bound by the limitations of a case or controversy or other federal rules of justiciability even when they address issues of federal law, as when they are called upon to interpret the Constitution or, in this case, a federal statute.” ASARCO Inc. v.
