1: Yes. Has happened 3 times in my career, most recently this past May.

2: Minimally. I was asked for the reason for my departure, and I was transparent as I could be, indicating what I knew and the circumstances. People were curious about it, but then again, its not relevant to finding new work. I will say that I found that multiple potential employers concluded successful interviews with unrelated programming tests. It felt like a set of coffin problems[1], that older folks like me, not trained in CS, but writing code for 40+ years, would not do well on.

This is a huge red flag. I actually had someone tell me that I 'needed to know how to program' to do the job I'd applied for, even though I have a public documented history of programming and software development/engineering, have developed and shipped code for decades, for research, products, patches, ...

That impacted search a bit.

3: There's not much of a stigma these days. Your self worth is not tied up in your job. Your value isn't either. You can take time to decompress, retool, think, train, research.

Put another way, if an employer thinks its a problem, you might want to steer clear of that employer. Bring the conversation quickly to a close, amicably, so you don't waste time and create bad feelings.

On jobs in general, employers generally are their to please and profit their owners. Understanding all their actions in terms of this (HR is there to protect the employer, etc.) can help you separate your sense of self worth from the position or company.

I've worked at the same company for all 10 years of my career. The company has been through a few rounds of major layoffs that I've somehow survived. It has affected me in that, for one, I'm always afraid that if I ever stop being "indispensable" to whatever on-going projects that I'll be let go. For now instead I've been promoted to manager. The other way it affects me is it increases the work and responsibilities for those who stay on. We're constantly scrambling and understaffed so we always wish we had those people back. We have thin teams to support a giant product that a larger team of ex-employees wrote, while having to on-board the next round of cheap resources.

I’ve seen them advertise rates on Google for 50% of the real price because of resort, cleaning fees, etc. Whether they collect it or not is immaterial for the consumer, that’s their internal business/problem. They’re advertising fake rates.
Yep, just this week I saw a Quora result in Kagi. Clicked it and remembered how useless the website was. My CPU gave an audible scream from inside its aluminum case from the spike in client-side tracking and JS the website has. Firefox noticeably slowed.

So I backed out back to Kagi and told it to never subject my eyes or my computer's safety through the experience ever again.
I wouldn't say it's naïve, rather it's the blackest cynicism to assert the best way to reform a murderous dictatorship is to provide it with weapons.

Yes if you can build that insight whether from inside an existing company or external client it makes a lot of sense. Sometimes hard for Dev centric founders to turn that into a real business but the opportunity is there to learn and then execute on it as you've demonstrated.

The learn to code nonsense was a complete doomed from the start and was a result of the zero interest rate phenomenon alongside the accelerated AI race to zero.

All the new entrants and the expensive senior folks doing the low-hanging fruit such as typical frontend UI, data collection and data science work are almost certainly expendable and are the main targets in the ChatGPT age. Everyone else left in the middle and in other areas have time to switch to something less trivial in the tech industry later.

The US was shipping huge quantities of material aid to the Soviets long before 1944. And invaded Italy and North Africa years before, if you had any knowledge of history.

I've read McKinley's "Choose Boring Technologies" essay a few times. It is okay. I have no big objections to it, though I think the "innovation token" metaphor is oversimplified.

Yet every time I encounter it in the wild, it's always used to justify the most backwards technical decisions. They have included

- using Ember.js in 2018

- waiting 18 months before installing security patches

- continuing with Java 7 back in 2021

- an engineer who wanted to build his web service in C with CGI in 2019

How far did my post go on the Fediverse?
I feel this Renaissance is going to lead us right off a cliff though. Just yesterday I heard a friend say they're not giving their kids any vaccines at all, they trust moms on Tik Tok more than pediatricians and other doctors.

Another friend almost lost their child from an easily correctable condition because of wanting to have their child at home because you just can't trust doctors and clinics. But where did they go when their child was delivered and was struggling to breathe? The hospital to those doctors they refused to be around originally.

I've had people with multiple degrees tell me with a straight face eating microwaved foods is eating radiation that will cause cancer.

Dupes of photo is too tiny amount of memory to care about.
Dupes of video might be solved with more HDDs, especially if you are not Youtube and do not need to have petabytes of videos connected. Having enough of HDDs does not get rif of the problem per se, but makes it significantly less valuable.

That is, it claims the results of QCD calculations turn out matching experiment better if you include the dark photon but the thing is people have gotten used to QCD calculations not being very accurate because they are so complicated.

The company holiday was probably planned months in advance. Usually, contracts are signed and it's very hard to get out of it. They could have not gone on retreat, paid for the hotels and flights anyway, and still laid everyone off. The C-levels probably worked on the levels a few weeks before it happens.

Binance or exchanges are 'anti' crypto. Buying/Selling crypto defeats the purpose of crypto entirely, rather supports fiat(do the math please). Exchanges must die before crypto even starts working.
Yeah, working at FAANG and investing your income is basically the highest return on a risk adjusted basis for engineers. In the last decade, there are many cases where people built a startup, exited for 10M, and still made less than they would have had they climbed the ladder in a FAANG and held onto their equity.

> Instead of universal childcare, we should just pay families for children

This is fine, as long as it’s cash and not a tax credit. I always imagined a universal childcare program being administered by states to be given a block grant by Washington. Most states would simply offer vouches/credits. Some would want to run it themselves. But in no case would the federal government be opening direct care—that is simply unprecedented.

I'm no expert on Polish affairs, but there's been some recent turn in events in Poland that seems to be whipping up the internal nationalism vs. Ukraine (around grain exports and stuff) and it's such a huge sea change from a year ago when it was all brotherly support and solidarity. Unclear what the nationalist ruling party in Poland is trying to accomplish with this.

It all just seems ridiculous to me. I think about my wife's maternal grandmother (actually both sides of her family really) whose family was from that area (Galicia) and emigrated dirt poor to Canada pre-WWI. She was able to flip between speaking something-like-Polish and something-like-Ukrainian on a whim without even seeing it as two different languages, really.

Like most of Europe (my own father was born in Alsace during the war, also an ethnic border zone), the lines on the map and the official ethno-nationalisms hide a much more complicated diversity, and I always mistrust the people who have made their political careers out of boosting some tribalism vs another marketing a simplistic vision of language-ethnicity-nation.

We actually plan to bring the version back that needs soldering. We took it temporarily out of the shop because a number of people overestimated their soldering skills and couldn't get it running. The usb and jst plug are difficult to solder for people without much experience.
Realistically no modern consumer OS is ever at idle for long.

It's constantly monitoring WiFi signals, battery level, checking for background processes to run, and a hundred other things.

Whether CPU usage is being reported as 0% or 1% averaged over the course of a second doesn't have anything to do with poor design. It's just being rounded from values like 0.3% or 0.8% anyways.
Why not just have it draw the whole thing?

One time I was at a birthday party and the host amazed me (this was a few years back) by getting out a dry-erase board on a tripod, looked up a list of things to draw on the web, and we proceeded to have a grand time playing bootleg Pictionary. Some players were better than others because of the economy of their drawing style. Knowing what info is salient and deserved the several seconds required to render it on the board. These are evolutionary skills well worth practicing and sharpening.

That game in reality is very, very old and has been played in a multitude of ways. But progress has tricked us into thinking we need help doing these things by providing convenient, clever packages that generate ideas for us.

Once we are using AI to do the heavy lifting, we’ll barely have to think. I really don’t like the idea of just abandoning our innate skills for the titillation of interacting with clever robots. I know they will be able to help do some very important things. But I think it’s a mistake to let bots do our thinking for everything. Doing things the hard way got us where we are today.
And technology changes the scale of the buy in of that single human you have to blame. Generally a country has to follow some terrible authoritarian leader before horrific things start to happen, but when software causes the problem, even the most open democracies give up and say "Well the software told me so"
Once again the FCC tries to expand it's powers to 'solve' a non problem.
There is precedent of this happening in countries without Net Neutrality laws such as the Philippines, where ISPs have zero-rating agreements with operators of popular websites, which effectively cements the position of incumbents.

They did have nutrition labels, but they were voluntary, so you maybe did see "nutrition facts" of some kind, but they could have had any appearance or title and could make any claim deemed "truthful".

> Every manufacturer should be encouraged to provide truthful nutritional information about his products to enable consumers to follow recommended dietary regimens. (WHC, 1970)

> Food manufacturers were eager to respond to the consumer interest and did so in a variety of ways, often through the use of an assortment of new, undefined claims on product labels that attempted to state or imply something about the special value of the food, such as “extremely low in saturated fat,”

I fully support net neutrality. Those who oppose it, like former FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, are really just bowing to ISPs who want to charge companies like Netflix and Google for "pushing" data onto their networks.

But net neutrality isn't actually what we need. What we need is municipal broadband. The major ISPs in the US are objectively awful. The best Internet access in the US are in places with municipal broadband eg Chattanooga.

A good start would be regulating ISPs as a utility.
It’s a standard in the US because of lacking consumer protection laws. Some countries don’t allow these companies to play these games and the advertised rates are the real rates.
Just guessing: better working environment and less stress? Working for a company that need to raise every x month to continue paying salaries and looking for crazy grow rates could lead to a lot of stress.

1. I was a designer at a real estate tech company that was laid off the end of last year (along with like 90% of the company). I joined in June of 2022 and was laid off November of 2022. There was one round of layoffs in July of around 30%, and then another round in November of close to 90%. The company went from somewhere around 60 employees in January of 2022 to close to 350 by June of 2022, then to under 30 in November of 2022. Being in real estate tech, as interest rates rose, platform demand dropped and kept on dropping.

2. I pretty much immediately started job hunting and interviewing, and went through a 9 round interview to land another job (with a 10% pay cut) that I started the end of January this year.

3. Not really. It was a bummer because I was in the process of moving to NYC, and obviously needed to secure a job as quick as possible to secure an apartment. It also sucked to be laid off a few days before my birthday and only a month before Christmas. But luckily I landed something new pretty quick.

No; it's confirmed that he has cheated. If you believe that this is a quality of a person that cannot be changed or rehabilitated, that is fine, but you should take ownership of it and not attempt to represent it as a fact.

Google absolutely has qualm about you using Firefox. Yes, they pay Moz money to keep them as the preferred search, but that's because it's the better of two options (no data at all from you, or at least your search data).

> politicians want to stay in power first, and only secondarily want to improve things.

The politicians who want to be in power first, and only secondarily want to improve things, tend to be the politicians in power.

Politicians who want to improve things first do exist, but they tend not to achieve power, because power is not their goal, and they are out-maneuvered by the first type.

Notably, politicians who want to improve things are easily side-tracked by suggesting that their proposed policy is not the best way to improve things, and that some other way would be better. This explains to some degree a lot of infighting on the left, because many do want to genuinely help, but it's never 100% clear what the best way to help is. It also explains why the right can put aside major differences of opinion (2A is important to fight the government who can't be trusted, but support the troops and arm the police!) to achieve power, because acquiring and maintaining power is more important than exactly what you plan to do with it.
I wonder what the deal with Google Meet was. Did Firefox fix this? Did Google team fix this? If this is retroactively fixed for the last 3 versions it must be a google-side fix right?
