There is a decades-long study by Tashkin et al., not being able to find that smoking cannabis is significantly harmful. I am on my phone so don't have it at hand.
But I am clearly not talking about lotto-winners, but someone who gets 2x salary, who may behave weird first couple of months and then becomes "normal". I fully agree about the lotto winners though. I had witnessed it…
Why not just buy a second smartphone?
You may assume that would happen, but unless you really have a thing to show off, you'll keep a similar lifestyle and just watch your savings account growing. I know very few people who permanently changed their…
To be fair, people having unhealthy lifestyle - especially those drinking are feeling terrible all the time - may just think this is how healthy person should feel and miss any symptoms of the potential disease.
This is the environment governments create and also proves it is in human nature. It would be like banning sex and then be amazed how much STD are around.
Likely somebody paid for it. EU is creating the law for big corporations, so it seems like one of those would like to copyright telemetry data and EU just amended it to please them.
What I was reading? It is easy to badmouth someone without knowing the context. It is not uncommon to end up with a flawed design if you find yourself in circumstances like short deadline, uncertain requirements, lack…
Have they not removed protected characteristics from the data? If they had, AI wouldn't know about gender and there would be no bias.
I was looking at a couple of non technical friends browsing the Internet. Not one took time to read consent prompts, they just mindlessly click whatever takes the notice out of the way. GDPR is dangerous and doesn't fix…
Right, but you want to impose it on the others. That is pretty selfish. If company paid for food in you salary you could have a choice. You don't want choice? Fine. Just don't force it on others because it works for you.
I think there is something missing in your story. My Portuguese friends who fled Portugal to London paint different picture of their lovely country. Maybe there are different rules to foreigners there?
Shouldn't company pay adequately instead of giving out "free" food? This is something I can't understand.
The professionals in the UK work on a b2b basis because with current salaries and taxes it makes no sense to be an employee. Still you get taxed highly, but it is slightly better. Sadly the Tories are turning left and…
It is sad how any comment with a slight critique of socialism gathers downvotes of an army of champagne socialists... people of different views choose not to speak because they are afraid of being attacked. Shame that…
Do those systems really work? Civil servants always find a way to deny support because you miss X or Z (I am talking mostly about the UK). I learned that it is best to take care yourself of yourself and don't depend on…
Your website needs to be politically correct anyway, so democracy claim is bogus. Only crypto payment gateways give true freedom.
It seems like they forget people pay for this crap. I wonder if there is a class action possible against them.
My advice then would be to live frugally, do personal projects and save and save, then leave the company if you have 3-6 months of living covered. You can spend more time on getting your CV right and searching for…
I worked with a start-up where owner confessed he is just looking to get out as quickly as possible. We were not supposed to build processes that would slow down the development at the cost of huge technical debt - but…
Don't agree to work for peanuts. Young developers are easy target for "startup" or predatory corporations as they can do mindless coding for hours and if you throw in free pizza on Fridays, they'll work day and night…
I am not. I am sorry if that sounded ambiguous. By "By hand" I meant SSH into a container and then pasting raw query into SQL client. ORM will not always help you achieve what you want so writing queries is alright, but…
I am happy to write SQL, but you need to write it in such a way that you have tests confirming your query does what you intend to. Then run a query as a short lived application on the cluster. You don't need to SSH even…
If you design your app properly you won't ever need to run SQL queries by hand. This is a bad practice and it is good that k8s discourages such behaviour. I agree with your other points though.
The linked article is behind the paywall. From you comment I still can't take out _why_ this costs so much. It sounds like development cost X because phase of development cost Y. I find it strange that you can say that…
