I doubt it’s Landmark, they typically lack any subtlety and wouldn’t invest that much time in someone that doesn’t even know they’re Landmark.

I usually love Jacob’s writing but I completely agree with you. I attend exit interviews, and I’m as honest as I can be, and I’ve never experienced a bad outcome… and I’ve given some pretty bad feedback! I’d go as far as to say, the worse t

I'm in the same boat, but I do think there's a prospect of Dagger being a superior option in the long term, if... 1. They invest in building out their catalog of actions to compete with GitHub's. I maintain a few GitHub Actio

I thought you were looking for a sincere response to your point about skeptics, but you're now labelling me as someone who doesn't understand the technology and using that label to discredit my point... but I do understand the tec

Most cryptocurrency dunking is because of exactly what you describe: the technology, in its purest form, can avoid a certain category of problems... but those problems are rarely relevant and instead the "cryptocurrency" industry

this wasn’t a smart contract exploit, it was a stolen keys exploit. Very different, flat out theft rather than exploiting “code is law” (and almost certainly an inside job).

Most people rely on their job to survive. If a company can’t afford to absorb some risk when hiring, they have no place hiring people.

Music labels are in the business of cultural relevancy, a label does not make money if they're not relevant, certainly Warner, UMG, Sony etc. wouldn't be generating multi-billions of revenue each year if they were not relevant. I

Perhaps this is true in the hyper-competitive world of silicon valley startups where it's better to ask for forgiveness (from a judge) than permission, but outside of sv I have never, ever experienced a startup actively exploiting a co

sitting at your computer watching a video in a news article of rocket going into space is not contributing to a satellite launch, it’s no more valid of an activity than enjoying the whimsy of someone using a receipt printer

by phphphphp 4y ago
If you look close enough at anything (and everything) you can reduce it in the same way. The sum of human experience is just meaningless stimulation: if receipt paper is the thing that stimulates us today, so be it, it’s no less valid than

You said "record labels are rapidly becoming irrelevant" and "the jig is up and labels are going to be panicking". That's about as absolute as you can be. I contend that labels and independents will continue to co-e

There’s lots of independent artists that are successful, you’re about 5 years late on the “…independent musicians will kill labels…” prediction which hasn’t been borne out. Musicians are actively choosing to sign to labels, even when they d

I’m a big fan of GitHub Actions so take this with that in mind. GitLab (self-hosted) is very reliable however GitLab CI/CD is very different in design to GitHub Actions: it’s much more a bunch of shell scripts stuck together with YAML.

I don’t think we got here, we’ve always been here: most of us don’t want to go to prison and risk aversion increases with age. Regardless of how (in)secure systems are, the abundance of bad actors will be those with a high risk tolerance.

"ISAs align incentives between teaching institutions and students, they're strictly better than the tuition model." That's very, very hand-wavey. I'm in broad agreement with you that, at this moment in time, ISAs ar

Income Sharing Agreement, I.e: what bloomtech (fka Lambda) use. No payment upfront, but the institution gets a cut of income above $x until the repayment amount is met.

it’s a colloquialism, “the experiment” refers to the collective belief that ISAs had potential risk to revolutionise funding for education etc.

As far as I can understand, the project distributes and measures open-source software usage in order to collect revenue on behalf of the authors. I don’t necessarily think that’s a terrible idea but I can’t even begin to imagine why it need

As much as I’d like to forget, I’ve done a lot of support and much of that was authentication issues. I can certainly imagine in a corporate environment that some contingent of users would prefer to be hand-held through the reset request pr

by phphphphp 4y ago
what I don’t get is, if support can’t do anything but “reset” which doesn’t expose the ability to gain access… how is support helping users? If a user can access their email, then they can reset themselves — surely? The idea that support ca

The level you're working at matters too for visa reasons. If you can qualify for an L-1 visa, it's one of the easiest ways to get from the UK to the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-1_visa

The downside of contracting though is that the work is typically the work full-time employees don't want to do. You gain in flexibility, but lose in enjoyment -- enjoyable contracts are a minority. Specific to the point on finances: th

Adjusting for benefits etc. it's not that different but my point is that £150k in London is a great salary on which someone can live very well, regardless of what you can earn in the US.

by phphphphp 5y ago
A few years ago FAANG salaries in London were pretty weak, but they’re much better now and even within the startup ecosystem — traditionally much lower than FAANG salaries here — £90k is a reasonable base expectation and £100k at a minimum

I frequently have experiences where I’ll think something and it’ll happen, like “I haven’t heard from x in a while” and a few minutes later an email from them arrives. There’s lots of rational explanations (like, if I was thinking about the
