Neat trick but it shouldn't be the only one you have. Which is to say it isn't the best way to proceed.
I've been criticised because I was only at a job for 12 months. I've also been criticised for staying 3 years.
Apparently I'm a terrible employee who left too early and stayed too long. I'm so glad I'm no longer an employee - hiring is horribly broken.
Agreed. Employers don't necessarily deserve loyalty unless they earn it. They often fire people on a whim to rapidly lower costs for this quarter. Meanwhile someone has missed time with family etc to meet an arbitrary deadline that only really benefited someone in marketing anyway.
Employers afraid of losing employees should be reminded that employees aren't property. Employees are often stuck with employers for multiple hard reasons and employers know this and exploit it. I've encountered many employers who actively select for employees based on their ability to be manipulated for these kinds of reasons, eg student / mortgage debt as handcuffs.
Wasn't the compiled-from-source chromium also downloading binary blobs without telling the user? There was an advisory about chromium doing it awhile ago.
The irony is strong.
I'm still not happy with how AMP operates. Seems like it will mess up the interwebs. Something on IPFS along with tighter usage of compression and markup compliance is likely a better solution than AMP.
I'm with this.
I'd actually like a fork of chromium with no googley phone home features. Maybe put timeouts on cookies and bunch of other things.
Like diversity training only more sensitive.
The communist dictator part of your comment is probably the triggering element. A lot of SJWs can't handle anything critical.
But this is getting off topic. And I'm sure we'd rather not need to apologise...
Still better than your snark. But blockchain could probably work.
Surely some kind of linked list with fancy crypto smarts could make this whole process less sucky?
I wonder what the economic / race demographics of these cases are?
Let’s face it. The circuit board is covered in Blinky lights and runs 6502 code. What’s not to like?
I’ve been tracking time for years. I estimate how long the task should take, then add time taken as I proceed. Very useful for future estimation. Definitely helps for project management and billing. I don’t recommend doing it in 5 minute steps as that gets tiresome. But 15 minute blocks seem to work out well.
I tend to think of these electronic “Purchase” transactions as a purchase of a temporary license. This mindset means the price should be significantly cheaper.
You never really own these digital assets. A good test is trying to gift/sell something in your library to someone else.
HN doesn’t have much tolerance for humor.
“(1) If you statically link against an LGPL'd library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.”
So for LGPL. As a commercial application developer I’m not sure I’d want to do that. I’d then have to field support requests for that object file.
Still, good to know.
The pizza in the article looks horrible. But random.
I don’t see why the author states randomness is a hard problem then proceeds to show various ways of creating it via imagery. Lava lamps also work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand
Which part of what I wrote was incorrect?
Every master has a slave, otherwise they aren’t a master.
Unix tools have concept of killing a process including child processes. Gendered connectors are also sexist.
This insanity has no end.
Not ridiculous. This is the kind of encounter that occurs with “yes means yes” laws which are being prepared/discussed/implemented. In the age of #metoo you basically need a contract ahead of time. Women aren’t exactly safe to be around if you meet particular criteria.
Don’t you end up with licensing fees if you use QT in a commercial product? Seems like a downside to me.
It’s not THAT hard to make a cli C program portable between windows, Mac and Linux. I’ve done plenty of projects that support all three platforms and the amount of work wasn’t excessive. For some projects it was just getting the build environment up that was the biggest issue.
Once you use cmake, modular design etc a lot of the issues vanish.
Isn’t that Java? Not everyone wants java on their server,
I’d like something in c or rust. Good project for a few weekends work.
The idea is good but I still think you could just schedule use of various websites like any other meeting.
I’m just amazed people make their own keyboards. This hasn’t sunk in yet. I’ll have to look into this. There’s an old electronic typewriter I have somewhere that could be adapted. Maybe some sort of USB thing?
Or just recreate a click keyboard with something like the cherry keys. Possibilities abound.
This page needs some work my iPad doesn’t render it properly. The Linux box didn’t like it either.
With the price fluctuations, maybe that 20k arrives as 19k. Don’t leave it in bitcoin for too long either. Might turn into 15k.
I don’t buy burgers with art or collectibles. And holding bitcoin doesn’t help me in long or short term.
Right now I’m hoping more people will buy bitcoin so I can dump the remainder of mine.
What is backing bitcoin? Gold? Cpu cycles?
