Would court decisions in cases such as what is going on with GitHub automatically affect business products such as this, and to what extent (e.g. retroactive royalties, etc)...

I believe it stems as an alternative to chewing tobacco usage, which for some reason is historically heavily used amongst baseball players: "Investigators have reported that 33% to 40% of professional baseball players and 45% to 55% of

I must agree. I do not remember a very pleasant experience using the GPS dash units. I would move often with the Navy and would use the GPS unit for a couple weeks but challenge myself as soon as possible to learn to get around without it.

This will normally depend on many factors. This is usually going to be the quantity of units and the level and availability of support, but could include other factors depending on the domain. Your initial "subscription" is genera

Socially, I am an extrovert and it has been tough adjusting. Almost all of my friends in my current location were tied to my previous job that was not WFH. It's already hard to meet new friends in your ~30s when living in place that yo

Well yeah, absolutely. As did remote work. But certain industry has shown it's strength of influence lately to bring many of those agencies back to their office spaces (real-estate, office supply, utility, etc). An entirely different c

I was in a union and learned to keep a lot of automation to myself, as they'd really get in a fuss about that sort of thing.

That would take millions if not billions out of the private software industry.

I worked for a government agency for just shy of a decade that was extremely behind the times as far as technology goes. My official capacities were never directly tech related, but I quickly excelled to the top as the "go-to" SME

At first I found it surprising to start finding all of these Twitter threads making it to the front of HN and thought "well, it must be a really compelling message..." Now I just ignore them altogether. It is a very distracting me

I certainly will - thank you! This meeting was pretty relaxed and certainly not of the "thumper" category, but it just... hard to explain, but, wasn't for me. I may expand my horizons and try a couple of different places out

In my experience the benefit found through training is often so that the employer can check a box that reduces their liability. I have certainly worked for some pretty shoddy employers, but if the employer was interested in you getting some

I guess my issue is this: why is the burden on me, the employee, when you cannot figure out at what rate you're losing employees after training, what it is costing you, and why you're losing them? Just like the marketing 'dep

Contracts that include the employer footing the bill for professional (transferable) licensure are an entirely different thing than discussed in this article, and I think it's reasonable to have some kind of agreement. Even then, I&#x2

I am about two years removed from my last career where I spent just short of a decade in a strong union, so my mind naturally snaps towards finding ways that things are not in the employees best interest. In this case - I cannot even conjur

I certainly agree. AA makes sense and there is a ton of wisdom in the BB. I will still lurk a zoom meeting from time to time. The biggest negate for me was that my local meeting that I liked was at the same time as jiu-jitsu - which as the

My comment was, relatedly enough, made in reply to someone discussing how poorly it is marketed. Specifically, how terrible this landing page is at being a landing page.

No, I have not. I work in tech in the mid-western US and am a frequent and long-time HN user.

My initial thoughts exactly. I have never heard of it before, and after scrolling down the page I still have no idea what it is.

Yeah, I mean, or it really just kind of makes those of us that simply cannot move closer feel that much worse about it. I miss mostly everything about being at the place where I am from, but moving there would move us even further from my s

Man, this certainly resonates with me, especially recently. I grew up in a tight knit small town where we knew everyone. Now in my thirties with a small family, hundreds of miles from our hometowns, recently sober, and a fully remote job -

This is kind of how I've grown to feel about modern software development. I used to resent that my career took me down a path that albeit technical, was not what I enjoyed to do: programming. However, while still trying to somewhat kee

Exactly. The poor souls required to telework with 2-3 days in office that are in different branches than me but under the same division basically just go into the office to jump on the same Teams meetings that we're on at home.

I just started working remotely in a semi-technical role. Caveats being that I can only login from my own home unless I gain prior approval. It works so well for my young family that my forward momentum has slowed to a crawl, as I don'
