Because of marginal returns on applicant motivation. A $200,000 position sounds great to a person expecting $150,000. $200,000 also sounds amazing to someone expecting $40,000. But, the same person expecting $40,000 will also be amazed by a $100,000 position, and certainly not half as amazed as the $200,000 one.

This. It wasn’t Cisco. Far crappier vendor! I don’t want to name names but they had a few high profile incidents that suggested their software was written by idiots. There was a panic move by the security people to switch away and still tick the box but they didn’t really understand the billing and architectural models of AWS.

Pricing was around 75k for 1000 seats for a year. They thought it was going to be $25k a year but it turned out to be that a month.

In my experience, always ask girls for directions, not boys. A boy will never admit that he doesn't know the answer so he will gladly send you off in any direction. A girl on the other hand will try everything in her power to get you in the right direction and will have no problem admitting it if she doesn't know where it is.
absolubtely! One of the best jobs I ever worked at asked me what CPU I had in my computer at home, I talked about how i'd built my own pc and the parts that went into it and why, and they (much) later when I was settled at the role said they could see I was a good candidate from that point onward. I think its useful to show a curiosity about your tools, about the boundaries of your world, which is useful when things arent going to plan
There is also microbe produced hydrogen extracted from ch4. This would allow using corn as the input similar to ethanol fuel, which already has a large scale production infrastructure.
I can't think of any person or organisation that is dumb enough to fall for the same trick 47 times.

And then they're still arrogant enough to blame the swatter... What the hell, something is seriously wrong with this police department.
One thing to note here with these kind of tools, on displayport they typically only allow commands on the active input. Once you switch to another you can't switch back (unless you do it from the other computer). Which is kind of a hassle.

HDMI on the other hand typically allows the ddc-commands even on ports that are not the active input.

Not sure if the above must be the case but it has been the case for all displays I've used.

Science

> I think there is an art to communicating complex ideas clearly, and some people value that ability,

Yes. There is also an art to fine penmanship and the ability to craft a professional manuscript by hand with just ink. This used to be valued now we use mechanical fonts and layout engines etc. Times change, technology changes.

The utility / novelty of the ideas vs how they are conveyed: which of those matters for a science publication? If both why not also got back to handwriting and ban the use of fonts / layout engines to increase the challenge required to create good manuscripts? Is science a costly signalling status contest, a process that should be as exclusive as possible? Is science a search for truth, a process that should broadly accessible even to those with poor language skills?
digital nomad sorta implies remote, non-office work, I fail to understand how KVM is helping simulate work as you imply? It just makes switching computers easier, nothing more. You can switch manually or you can just use separate work and personal machines as well.
Nice one. Yes built-in KVMs are great.
Btw - if you only have two computers, you can get away with running SimpleKVM on just one of them. Because it can detect a USB device being removed (ie. gone to the other computer) and inserted (arrived at this computer).
Though one would probably never be able to work with an assumed install of Python anyway because one would not be able to assume a specific version. I am guessing this is a lesser problem for Perl, since it’s been frozen at some version of 5 for the past 25-30 years correct?
Do you have any practical experience with companies running as it's described in this motivational book?

Many of those books are selling well because they are well written and say exactly what reader thinks might work, but if you ask anyone else who worked with the author, the reality can be quite different.
> It seems like once a group of people have lived somewhere for a generation or two and have a $Trillion invested in a place they probably are going to make it hard for new comers to make radical changes.

Few if any of them actually invested that money. Rather they bought when it was cheap and then sat on it (either individually or as a family passing it down through inheritance) as the price went up - worse still they vote to grandfather in cheap property tax rates for people who bought early, so they're not even paying their fair share at the most basic/direct level.

> Find a place people don't already want to live and make that better with great new housing designs?

In today's vetocracy that's pretty much impossible - you'd have to find somewhere where not a single person already lived. Even then, as soon as you started doing it someone would move in and then block you. (Set a rule that requires development to continue? There's already a statewide rule that cities just flaunt)

> Why do does someone deserve to move somewhere new and live there cheaper than the people who already live there?

Being able to move in at the same price would be plenty. Up until the '50s people moved where they liked and build what they liked where they liked, without any permitting or anything. Now it's illegal to build practically anything - the vast majority of housing stock is only legal because it's grandfathered in, and would be illegal to build anew.

> Now, that said there are huge distortions to the market driven by taxes and leverage. Many expensive places have 10% unoccupied housing. Think about how much that is. Imagine the time, cost, and disruption to build even 10,000 units of housing, when there are 40-50k units unoccupied.

Unoccupied housing is a scapegoat. A healthy market needs some liquidity. If you legalise building new houses then unoccupied houses cease to be a problem.
I think i messed up that one. I wanted to specify which ethnic groups he was hating in his messages that showed up in court documents so certain details are not missed out.

Freedom of expression is a thing. And while freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences (a concept I absolutely believe in), those consequences have to be in line with other basic rights. In this case, this would be the right of security at your home, protection from mental and bodily harm among others. A mob, online or not, is nothing that society should accept.

Putting the blame on Lolcows is classic victim blaming, and a capitulation before an online mob. Quite often actively or passivley supported by courts, judges and police.
I'm fairly certain they used it to gauge future project opportunities as our work was often multi-disciplinary across departments. It was probably also useful for validating people's stories if they came up. For example, if someone wanted to switch into your group 'A' from group 'C' and they had been working on a project with X, Y, and Z, then you could get a strong sense of why that might feel that way.
After researching KVMs I also came to the same conclusion that ddc is the solution.

My use case is a bit different. I have two Windows machines and a dual monitor setup. I use NirSoft ControlMyMonitor which has a CLI and a Elgato Stream Deck.

In a normal KVM approach both monitors are showing only one computer. My use case is a bit odd- I want one computer on monitor A and the other on monitor B. I may also want to flip that. I use a portrait and landscape setup. Then I want to be able to switch mouse/keyboard independently of monitor configuration.

Each computer runs the Stream Deck software and the Stream Deck is connected to the USB switch.
I have that at the current company I work at. Some manager started a successful project with me and the management is too greedy and busy trying to replace me and the manager by bringing in politics, social dilemma and putting layers of management between everyone. Truly a sad state to be in. I learned my lesson as to why you should never truly care about what you do at work. Feels like the project will rather go belly up and disintegrate because of that.
And if you do not defend yourself, you are just an easy victim.

Can we please just stop victim blaming here?

>In spite of all this, I'm not sure what alternative I would recommend instead of the combination of Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Languages such as Go, Rust or Node.js might be more efficient than Ruby, but none have a framework as capable as Ruby on Rails.

Go would be a sensible choice.

Both .NET and Java have very good frameworks and are good choices for large scale development.

Rails is nice for small to medium websites, but for large microservice based apps will present some issues.

Oh this is nothing. Go look at the social sciences. They get data that compromises their entire profession, tell the university it’s inconclusive and wait until the research grant runs out and fail to publish. Then do the same thing again.

I have seen this with my own eyes. A bit of excel drama is usually behind their published papers. Also seen that with my own eyes.

The field has trouble collecting data too because it’s expensive and very subjective. The worst one I saw was somehow turning 7 data points via imputation and interpolation into a hundred or so. The principal researcher on that I actually had to teach BIDMAS to and her calculations were completely whacked out (excel again)
I found even these simple USB Switchers to be quite expensive, and sometimes they require drivers that don't work on Linux. I quickly sketched a simple circuit board with USB hubs and a switch and ordered them assembled (!) from one of those DIY-fabs (JLCPCB or PCBWay). They cost 25€ for 5 pcs, each with one 2-to-1 switch. I don't have any experience in circuit design and didn't have to solder anything, and they work perfectly.

These would go pretty well with this software, maybe I'll give it a try.
I think the QPS dream is something that was teased at to show feasibility (and scaling up services on the cloud IS simple when needed).

I think the bread and butter for the big clouds however are customers like the shop I'm at (see sibling comment), we can do development work and put it on our clients (mostly non-IT that has no interesting in hiring their own department) and if we for some reason need to part ways it's easy to "hand-over-the-keys" since subscriptions can be handed over between organizations.

But getting customers back is usually equally easy since there was never any fuzz when leaving so when they've become dissatisfied with the "cheap" options they don't remember leaving being a problem, regardless the winner is the cloud provider (but the costs are still small enough for each client that nobody is unhappy).
I always put the ticket number in the message, at the start. I use rebase to avoid merge commits and discourage diverging too much from origin/master.

> Do you have any practical experience with companies running as it's described in this motivational book?

I do not have experience running it at a company level, but at a team level (I have been an engineering lead in two companies for the last 6 years).

From all the books I've read (I read a lot), this is the one that was most "spot-on" about treating other humans and making them feel valued and therefore building a team with strong bonds.

> Many of those books are selling well because they are well written and say exactly what reader thinks might work, but if you ask anyone else who worked with the author, the reality can be quite different.

Absolutely agree.

In my experience I resonate most with any books when I have already, unbeknownst to me, been applying what they preach (which has been the case with Setting the table that I'm currently in the process of finishing).

I believe that it requires a lot of introspection to be able to apply new knowledge (ie, if you haven't thought about it or experienced it before reading about it)

But is building rails harder than developing a self driving car/bus?

We had rails 200 year ago; it’s a solved problem that mostly requires political will and capital allocation to execute.

Self driving cars have been in development of some kind for at least 40 years[1] and it’s still a struggle technically, and will still require some political will going forward as we try to solve all the legal problem they bring up, and the development has also been very capital intensive[2].

If we have to spend the money and deal with the politics anyway, why not put that effort toward something we know works, we can do today, will reduce traffic on roads, and has a better safety record than automobiles.

Augmenting a rail system with some kind of taxi system is fine, but it seems odd to put all the eggs in the autonomous car basket. We were promised cars would be driving themselves across the country 6 years ago, and it’s still just promises[3]. How long are we willing to wait for something that’s actually viable for the masses? And how much are we going to pay per ride? Right now it looks like it will be more expensive than hopping on a train.

People often say Elon pitched the HyperLoop and Boring company ideas to try and kill rail plans, since he owns a car company. I have to wonder if these someday promises of self-driving are a similar tactic.

In India, govt has provided free incometax and indirect taxes return filing.

Its free.

Then you have companies selling 2 things.

1. Automation, bulk processing, storage, analysis for professional users to file hundreds of returns.

2. Ease of use, PDF processing, manual and electronic preparation of reruns data for end users. Paid service.

Both are complementary to govt provided filing and often require steps that need it.

India famously spent 5 billion dollars to build their indirect taxes portal.

To paraphrase something I've heard: JSX proves that HTML actually won.

And you can see this because even in a language with concise object literals like JS, a markup based syntax is nicer. There are template systems where you write objects, and I find them cumbersome and they're not very popular.

That’s completely an opinion, and I have another one. Html sucks at reading and writing, it is cumbersome (and also non-typed, and non-structured), and js structs/calls are much better for creating these trees.

Jsx proves nothing but that react team had to make a decision about format and they decided to not experiment with formats due to drop-in compatibility. That’s it.

I think there's a "market mismatch" here. If you're a professional presenter, you're already used to OBS, which is complex but free, open-source, works on all platforms (as opposed to Mac-only).

Sure the "draw anywhere" feature is nice, but there are ways to achieve the same thing in OBS using a tablet (various free or paid plugins do this).

If you're not a professional presenter, sure this is easier to use than OBS, but in that case a relatively expensive subscription-only model doesn't make sense for an occasional user.
