I have personally seen this happen (ex-Amazon managers coming in and turning the place toxic) at 2 separate companies now
It's basically impossible to prevent people from using VPNs without some serious governmental control over every telco - which of course may be the case in the UK, but I don't think a site operator can be held liable…
The crucial word in the headline is "recorded". I doubt that record-keeping in the 1800s was as comprehensive as it is today. Additionally, from the article: > the CDC started monitoring TB in the US in the 1950s.
Not just time cost, but also monetary cost. At least in tech, most jobs exist in a small set of metro areas where housing prices are incredibly high. Pushing for more remote work enables more flexibility in where people…
Thanks to an increasing supply of jobs in India, salaries have been rising at the top end of the market. In another 5-10 years, it won't be much cheaper to hire in India as compared to the US.
It's likely that they just chose Kotlin as "better Java" - many companies do this and I can understand why.
It's because WA allows for non-compete agreements for employees above a certain income level, whereas CA bans non-competes outright. So it's much more difficult to get top/high-ranking people to leave MS/AMZN since they…
Most of the more modern Javascript SSR frameworks support hybrid in some capacity (Remix, Next, Svelte). I can't speak for Angular as I've never used it.
I think the license change is a pretty bad reason to feel smug - unless you are building a competitor to or platform on top of Terraform. Spacelift is stuck in a weird place because of this, but most users won't be.
Usually the investors - the funding amount means that the founders and early employees can get paid a living wage at least (as a former VC-backed founder I can say that they probably don't get paid exorbitantly). But…
Also Obsidian is a small team (< 5 people IIRC?) and they don't have to monetize as aggressively to make back the money that VCs have funded them with.
Unfortunately, in a highly regulated environment like finance or healthcare this is the norm for opsec reasons. Can't have disgruntled laid-off employees taking revenge actions against the company or customers.
Acquihire - you're not looking to buy the framework itself, you're looking to get the people who built it to work for you instead.
That seems like a red herring given the amount of expansion that FB has had - DEI or no DEI, doubling your headcount is going to result in a quality drop
Disclosure: former Reddit employee It's definitely an acquihire. MLOps has been one of Reddit's weaker areas historically, so this acquisition makes sense to get a talented team in with a clear understanding of the…
I worked at Reddit for several years in the past - if anything, they have the exact opposite of viral momentum: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1360263618508521480?lang=en I do agree on the neat alternative piece, but…
I suspect most of the layoffs are in the US, where no such protections apply.
The reality in today's world (at least for software developers in the US) is that government work pays so much less than private sector work that I don't imagine it pays to go into government work at any point of your…
Have you looked at Hasura for the second question (graph frontend + relational backend)? That's basically GraphQL on top of Postgres. As for the first question - I've tried using Neo4j and ArangoDB for relatively…
Because BQ is great for the ETL/data warehouse/BI use case but is terrible for online applications. I tried using BQ as the backing store for an online analytics application back in late 2019, and it was so much worse…
Substack is good, and certainly much better than Medium! But I think it serves a different purpose, since it lets content creators monetize their audience rather than managing P2P user interaction like most social…
Disclaimer: I worked at Reddit prior to when ads were a major revenue source and left in 2018 Prior to ads and the current dark patterns you see on the site, Reddit primarily tried to monetize through Reddit Gold. It…
People have predicted that for at least 5 years now, and it hasn't happened. Unless they shut down old.reddit.com, I doubt the exodus will happen.
Cannot agree with this recommendation enough. I bought the book and read it, and it's excellent reporting.
Ah, thanks for the correction. The policy I had in mind when writing the above comment was the one on petty theft: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1273848
