I feel this in my bones. We drove people to vote, worked the rallies, gave every spare penny we could to the point that we met the spending cap of what we could give, and this state is either rigged, or populated with an incredibly slim majority of people whose values are so far from what I consider moral it turns my stomach to look at them and wonder are you someone that supports this madness when I go grocery shopping. Either way, it's time to leave, I can't raise a family in a state that doesn't value education, or peoples bodily autonomy.

you shouldn't be proud of this. people like you ruin games.

and it's miserable to live in.

I wish my fellow posters could get out of their own way long enough to congratulate you! this is a great feature. I'm glad you got it into the build and I can tell you're excited about it. I can't remember the last time. I was excited about a feature that I shipped. maybe I'm just burned out but it's really refreshing to see it's shining through your replies. companies like Microsoft and Google need more engineers like you that actually care about shipping cool shit.

Bought his book just to support his efforts, yes I'm the one guy. He's got the type of chaotic energy real hackers generate. Love everything he's put on youtube.

Such a strange take from someone I really respect who usually values digging into the why of things. I suppose we are all given to fits of pique on occasion but I don't know how anyone could avoid using info for that long. Makes me sad a bit, others with far better credentials than I have explained the technical advantages in this thread already, but info pages are so much better, they taught me a lot of what got me my first jobs in the industry.

I hope it gives them the impetus to do a comic on getting and using documentation locally without the web and how to write more documentation. I guess in retrospect my love affair with that sort thing (info, and any other offline documentation) was due to having to use jigdo or even older tools to download a distro over a modem attached to a poor quality phone line, so having offline docs to refer to was a godsend.

Or conspire to cap engineer pay and get a slap on the wrist not equivalent to the money they saved, and then continued the collusion.

Add in flowlauncher and it becomes even more useful.

This whole post could be summed up as "I make up stories from people that don't exist to justify my selfish world view", and frankly these "people are saying" anecdotes with no facts backing them up don't work well on a site where people research things instead of taking them at face value. If you want that kind of echo chamber, may I recommend Facebook or something similar?

70% (approximately) of people on welfare already have a job. That's strange isn't it? Not going fishing. Not living the life working under the table. No, doing the hard jobs you expect to be done for next to nothing, for your comfort and convenience. They clean your hotel rooms, wait on you at restaurants and check you out at your local Walmart that destroyed all the other work in their town, and then paid them so little they had to apply for help to feed their children. These vital jobs that people expected to be done even in the middle of a pandemic, well they don't pay enough to live off of anymore. Because the wealth only moves in one direction and has for decades.

Welfare the majority of the time is a hand up not a hand out, 50% of recipients are able to get off of it inside of a year, 70% inside of 2 years and if we should have a few people who game the system, oh well. It's a necessary evil to make sure women and children are not on the streets, to ensure that once you are down you are not out, because we are the most prosperous nation on earth and we can EASILY afford it, and part of the social contact entailed in being an American is you care for your fellow Americans. Unless you are someone who sits around ruminating about what an injustice it is that a portion of your income is used to keep children from being hungry and how very unfair that is to you.

I pay more than what I am asked in taxes, I contribute to charities at a rate that most people would be surprised by, and I can tell you this. Every charity in our country is a failure of our government. Every church that proselytizes via helping the poor does so because the system we built is not working for it's constituents, and myopic people want to spend a bunch of time fighting about who gets what of the very, very thin slice of the pie, instead of actually doing the hard work of reforming the bakery. If there is any truth to your anecdotes at all consider this; it might be more telling of you and the moral fibre of those you surround yourself with than people at large.

I find this comically unlikely.

I love his comic, I hope this is addressed soon.

I rather hope they restore the original functionality for Google home they had to throw out thanks to this case.

If productivity were the only factor and companies behaved logically sure, but you know that's not the only factor and they often make decisions that aren't logical. Yet you argue as if it is. Why?

It's wild to me that you don't seem to realize around 75% of meetings could have been a short email. Meetings are where middle management gets to strut their stuff, and by stuff I mean the latest stupid trend stemming from what amounts to a self help book for organizations. Where "people engineers" get to waste everyone's time with "team building". Where productivity goes to die. The meetings that matter and actually contribute to actionable decisions in my experience no one bitches about. That isn't what most meetings are.

Could you imagine the colors bezos would turn if they unionized in response to this? I would buy that pay per view.

Just because you had difficulty does not mean you should give such advice to others. There is nothing difficult about configuring any of these systems if you know what you are doing.

Is this just invective or is there an actual story behind it?

I'm sure Digg had the same line of thinking. Worked out great for them.

Any ideas on what causes the docker issue? Or have you not poked it with a stick yet?

That has not been my experience. If they have deep pockets they draw out the court case in an effort to make you quit, and the stress literally kills people.

In the end I agree vindication will come if you can afford to defend yourself, hire your own experts and retain competent council but your comment is a bit glib.

+short is your friend.

Not sure what that link had as it's dead for me as well but...

PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'

Has always worked for me. Goes in your .bashrc from the FM

PROMPT_COMMAND ¶ If this variable is set, and is an array, the value of each set element is interpreted as a command to execute before printing the primary prompt ($PS1). If this is set but not an array variable, its value is used as a command to execute instead.

Terrible place to work that people grit it out at until they vest and then go some place better off utilizing the name recognition for resume cachet.

Horrible people, doing horrible things sometimes profitably.

I'm not shocked they would make this decision but I am grateful. Keep driving off the best talent. More for the rest of us.

I see a lot of people quick to dismiss and down vote this comment. I understand why, people don't like unsupported supposition and conspiracy theories when they in theory pride themselves on being logical.

I'd like to point out how similar replies and derision were directed at people who suspected there was collusion to fix engineers salaries and how their was a "gentleman's agreement" to prevent hiring engineers away from each other amongst these very same companies. That happened in 2014 and it proved these same companies were all in close communication with each other in regard to staffing and salaries. They were caught and convicted and paid a small portion of the money saved by colluding as a fine.

Do I believe we have any evidence anyone is currently colluding in order to lay off enough people to cool down a rapidly heating up labor market, and suppress the demand to work remotely and be paid the same as their peers in high cost of living areas like the Bay?

No.

Do I believe they would do so if it increased profits or manipulated the cost center they hate the most (salaries and headcount) in a beneficial way, and have the means to communicate with each other unofficially to coordinate such actions, yeah, I do. They've already proven they were willing and able to do so in the past.

So while baseless accusation might be useless conspiracy fodder, cynicism is warranted when a seemingly coordinated action is being taken. Cynicism is warranted in all dealings with all of these companies. They are amoral, and exist at a level of income in which the legal system has only a tenuous hold. They have also demonstrated in the past they are willing to collude in order to hurt engineers to their benefit.

Just food for thought, and discussion. I would prefer to think about how they could be caught if that's what they were doing, and how the issue could be dealt with, rather than dismissing it out of hand. However, labor conditions for people like us has so far not descended to the point where embracing the concept of unionization is appealing, and I don't see any other way engineers could fight for job security, and wage increases commiserate with inflation or pinned to profit margins.

It's funny, there are a lot of brilliant people in this industry, but we are still being taken advantage of by the same old hucksters, and con men, I've seen it for 20 years. You would think at some point we would find a way to fight back even if it didn't involve unionizing, but it's the same pattern of the "business" guys robbing the piggy bank, or turning good places to work into dystopian nightmares for a percent more of return for that quarter. Then we just pull up stakes and move on to another company make a bit more until they do the same thing there. At some point it's all going to suck then what?

Feynman would be proud. The ability to take a complex subject and break it down in such a way that nothing of value is lost but a child can understand it is rare.

I had a boss purchase those switches without consulting me, he liked the color. They were pure garbage. Thanks for reminding me of that, I'll have to ping a former co-worker and have a laugh.

I bought that book a while ago, and it reminds me of the old days when a lot of the leading lights in the open source community were a bit more of a personality. I enjoyed it, he's obviously incredibly bright and knowledgeable and he makes the subject understandable and fascinating. Until you commented I had never run into another soul that knew about him much less had read the book.

Check out his youtube channel it's a wild ride! Good example video from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq963c6Fl5E

(I know it sounds like I could be Nick with all this praise but I'm just a guy that appreciates people with interesting obsessions that may benefit me some day).

This is incorrect.

Similar to the "we can't make concrete as good as the romans" line of woo. Caveat Emptor

Maybe just maybe the thread celebrating their 27th birthday isn't the time or place for shitting on them?
