Kind of... Spent a while debugging an issue where the client was convinced he could not schedule new appointments in the system on the 29th. It turned out he had set another setting incorrectly which was causing the appointment never to be

Makes sense. IMO contractors are supposed to be companies. Such as https://avantsoft.com.br that you hire for specific things and that can abstract the actual employee management, etc from the company that hires.

It seems the authors did not find evidence of a "pink tax": "Finally, while our findings do NOT support the existence of a pink tax as conceived by regulators, a more expansive definition of the pink tax could include differe

0. Use GIT. 1. Add a staging environment. 2. Add a CICD. 3. Add tests. Start by easy ones (new features) to get team used to writing them. Then important flows. If your team doesn’t have the bandwidth hire a contractor. Ex: https:/&#x

The big question to me is: At what level of the tech stack should moderation happen? Should it be done by the ISP? By the IaaS? By the software provider? By developers? Ideally, moderation would occur at just one level. That way, there are

Interesting study. Just reading outputs from GPT3 or other models makes it seem almost lifelike. Sometimes it is easy to forget it is just a well fit function with a lot of parameters.

Slack has an interesting model where the license count charged to the company only includes active users which is a subset of those that are registered.

I am surprised this hasn't happened a long time ago. It has felt for a while that Facebook has been almost entirely cannibalized by Instagram. Also wonder how much of that is due to Tiktok being more expensive to produce and thus havin

Are you a very avid adopter of products from early stage startups? Forced updates tend to be more common with small companies that can't devote resources to maintaining backwards compatibility.

Agree. As someone that has had to migrate systems from K8s to Elastic Beanstalks or equivalent, there are definitely situations where K8s is overkill and simpler systems can work better.

I wonder how many others repos have over 100k issues. From a quick search it seems Linux does too.

Is everyone an employee or are there contractors as well? Are there managers? how large is the team? For smaller teams (sub 10 people), I find that having 1 daily informal standup and having the leaders make themselves readily available for

I would recommend discussing anything related to compensation before starting at a company (definitely before signing contracts). So would recommend sooner rather than later.

I would recommend talking to a professional. There are psychologists and equivalent professionals that specialize on this and they may be able to provide you some guidance. Not sure this helps but believe in yourself. The fact that you are

Was thinking the same. However, it says the fine was based on their revenue there? Does that mean they are still operating in Russia?

The article makes some good points. Having lived in over 4 countries I can say the United States is by far the most bureaucratic when it comes to immigration. Processes are long, complex and expensive. Often requiring multiple rounds of pap

Won't be there for a while yet. However, I want to be in a point in my career where I can move from doing to teaching. Bestow upon the next generation the lessons that I will have accumulated by then.

Even though the graphs do show some correlation between politics and media trust, I believe there may be other factors at play here. For instance, the need to make headlines ever more clickbait may also be eroding trust. Since the body of t
