a name is just a name. In the US there are two parties so leftists fall in either one or the other. Frankly the tactics and motivations taken by the democrat party is exactly leftist: authoritarian, pro-censorship, trying to justify authoritarian takeover by claiming social progress.

Hardly right-wing propaganda. California passed a law mandating that all corporate boards appoint minority directors. Minorities are nine times more likely to be affiliated with the leftist democrat party than republican. That is irrefutable. Leftists have worked hard to bind social identity with party affiliation in order to control tech companies that monitor and influence the population.

Software engineers have almost no power at tech companies and it is leftist managers who choose the people that conduct interviews. CPO/CDO operatives filter all candidates at tech companies, not only engineers. Their objective in filtering engineers is to prevent too many right wing employees.

WTF are you talking about? This isn't about voting or getting employees votes for the democrat party. H-1B cannot vote for the left but that is better to party hardliners than someone who votes right and hires right wing. This is 100% about making sure executives of tech companies remain leftists and members of the leftist pro-socialist party. H-1B is only one way they work to achieve this. Since 2015 they have created chief people/diversity officer roles which are nothing more than party officials who are given power to filter hires based on perceived party loyalty but in the name of combating "racism" which is pretty much envelops all leftist reasoning these days. They are hardcore leftists and trade blacklists between companies.

In the corporate world it is imperative to leftist managers and boards that they maintain political control of tech companies like google, twitter, amazon that both track every move and word of the populace as well as filter the content that people are allowed to see.

Everyone at tech startups are working remote right now, so I don't see the problem. The only reason they need to bring early employees into the United States is so they will have indentured employees who are left-loyal at the top of these companies so the investments can continue to be party controlled. H1-B as well are less likely to balk at being asked to do shady shit like businesses that rely on tracking people and selling user data. Privacy is generally a western idea traditionally not practiced outside the United States.

So since google employees have an median tenure of 1.1 year then that means google is even more chaotic organization than the US government. Should laws be "engineered" to prevent organizations like google because there is some sort of ephemeral "chaos" problem with it? Or is it that you are politically predisposed to wanting and needing a strong, lets call it, central committee, to centrally plan things and worker turnover doesn't count towards "chaos"

Your reality. How many have been beheaded in France in recent weeks by immigrants? Do you even read about those kinds of things or stay in your bubble.

If US corporations actually followed the law and were held to account by a functioning government this wouldn't be an issue. This is only an issue because EEOC is only followed when it is useful to their leftist management. Otherwise, in the name of D&I, we get companies in the US mainland that are 97% Indian nationals on H1B. That can't happen in a fully functional US corporation that is following the law where laws are enforced. So it is really pointless to point out caste discrimination when US corporations are lawless and the US government is powerless.

If a person needs a document to tell them how to do their job, then they are not qualified for the job. CTO is highly specialized position that is supposed to be approached after many years as an engineer, manager, director, vp, etc. A person might be able to grow into the job quickly depending on the circumstances. But usually this is going to create lots of strife for everyone else. Usually, this is going to come as lots of pointless edicts and stuff like pointless meetings. I would suggest an inexperienced CTO that did not come up through the ranks needs to find a CTO mentor.

return values don't say anything about possible code paths. If you are saying the function should document what could go wrong when it is called, Java solved this 24 years ago when each method lists the exceptions they throw. If you need to know what the back trace/call stack was when the error happened, well that is stored in the exception.

People that use return codes simply don't check every possible value, otherwise they would see that it increases program length by at least 50% and makes the code unreadable. A common pattern in Go is this

if (err == MY_ERROR) { log my error; notify user; return MY_ENCAPSULATING_ERROR_CODE }

for high quality code this has to occur for every function call in the entire codebase. So you'll get huge functions which are mostly 'if' statements checking error codes, logging the results, and returning another error code that has to be checked again one step up the call stack.

moving from c++ to java 20 years ago it was clear that the c/c++ community didn't really know what they were doing in this regard. A lot of c/c++ dogma boilerplate code was holding it back. Too bad some of it made it into golang.

Great tool, two big negatives. First, checking result values is dumb. It adds 50% more code. Add exception handling.

Second, the way imports work is obviously due to some internal google kitschy-ness. Remote import paths are so dumb. People set up entire domains and CDN's just to host some code. The import path has to have a specific format, you can't have three levels. github.com/me/sub1/module won't work, so everyone creates mypersonalgithub.com/sub1/module. It feels like one L3 at google set this up on a Friday, and the industry has to live with it. Of course all this code will be broken in 3 years.

There is no easy way to point imports to a local development copy of a repo because google uses a monorepo and everyone else has to live with it.

They sell it for money. You will never hear about it. It may pass through a single person's hands. Remember the article on here that told about how all major cell providers are selling your location data through a two man mob-like operation?

"In order to provide this computing experience, we collect data about you, your device, and the way you use Windows. "

"We also share data with Microsoft-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries; with vendors working on our behalf; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; "

Obviously when they sell to data broker, they call them a vendor.

I have been to Microsoft campus three times. Guess who I saw zero of. Don't complain about not being able to hire.

My experience of Azure 100% is that their managers have a strong lack of will to hire people of European descent. Full stop.

There were some game studios but they have closed. Konami and Square Enix. It would be very bad for employees. You would have 1 or two employers, then if you needed to leave you have to move to the mainland which is probably very expensive. Very easy to become homeless too if you are not rich as well because it is very expensive.

Hawaii is remote. 2000 miles away. You need a full day to travel to the mainland one way. If all you need is good weather and beaches then there is San Diego and Florida which are much easier.

Timestamps, IP, and user agent are probably enough to reconstruct the user visit. Chrome is now sending a browser generated fingerprint x-client-data to all Google's domains while of course they will be trying to end use of referer header for everyone else. They are shameless and think people are dumb.

Mobile carriers are injecting their own fingerprint headers into outgoing http requests as well if not using https.

How does this stop facebook from tracking you? I'm fairly certain that on facebook, google, everyone, etc tracking is largely through processing request logs to gstatic.com or fbcdn.net for example with a referrer header saying what site you are visiting, your source IP and various other things to fingerprint the request.

Is it Sergey Brin being a Harvey Weinstein at early google as outlined in 2018's "Valley of Genius" by Adam Fisher?

When a corp is hiring "all diverse" as google likes to put it, you do lose something. You lose your time and effort in getting a job because corps that are doing quotas will interview you despite to intention to hire. They do it because their interview stats and demographics are scrutinized by the government and they need their interview demographics to look good on paper.

As for BLM anyone can see the riots, looting, arson, and destruction that has affected places like Portland, Seattle, Kenosha. The riots have cost over two billion dollars in damages. Those are not damages to the government. Those are damages to ordinary people and business owners. Housing values go down, police protection is eroded, and some people were beaten or lost their lives.

See... you've downvoted this because you've decided BLM is "your team" because of politics and that is a problem. You can't think objectively about what political actors are actually doing in the real world, and that is very dangerous.

They have shut down BLM pages? BLM irrefutably spreads hate, especially towards cops, even black cops, and their actions have gotten lots of cops killed. Many of them openly spread racial hate directed towards whites including the Dallas BLM shooter who killed 5 cops and said he wanted to kill white people and white cops in particular.

If they shut down a vague classification of people like holocaust deniers, which is like shutting down flat earthers, then clearly they should shut down an organized hate group.

We are already well down the slope moving at warp speed. Facebook is obviously selectively choosing what is hate speech according to their leftist political stance. They don't remove hate speech that is anti-police and inciting violence against police (BLM) despite dozens of police having been attacked and maybe half a dozen killings.

Interview training does nothing. The people who are pushing affirmative action are doing it on purpose because of their political ideology. These people think that if they have more women, LGBTQ, and minorities in the company, those people will support them politically and they will have more power. There is no way you can train away that. Second, you can't remove employees when their bias is in support of the managers and the company board members. Managers are selectively choosing interviewers because of their racial bias. At a previous job managers would have new hire LGBTQ or minority junior employees conduct interviews instead of senior employees who had been at the company for years. Activist board members set CEO bonus goals that scale with race and gender quotas as well. Resume doesn't matter because they recruit through special minority, women, or LGBTQ invite only recruiting events where SWM's are not even allowed in.

I think the left wing has adopted the view that they are good fighting evil and the ends justify the means in anything they do, which of course is not compatible with free speech and subject to political abuse. Online communities without moderation have always existed. Pre-internet BBS's were full of what people would call "cesspool" stuff although it would be considered tame today. Today cesspool means generic conspiracy theories. Obviously a big right wing one is politicians and pedophilia which congress just passed a resolution about WHILE there is this whole real thing going on with pedophile island, Epstein, and, yep, politicians. So it is hard to sort out which is 'cesspool' and what are attempts to censor reality and hide crimes coming from the political establishment.

Any board where they just remove flagrant porn, gore, and violent threats would be OK and would last until the general public learned about it.

It seemed to me that shill mods started to back off around August when some of the rioting and arson started getting old and having the opposite of the intended political results. And, now that we are a month from the elections they are no longer interested in censoring as it probably won't have an effect especially since people have already started voting.

Suprising they don't have an overhead gantry and part jigs. They are using a forklift and a $100 chain hoist to move the wing around. And it looks like they are using 3d printed plastic parts on the plane?

Uh, the video shows a single seater. Doesn't seem to have an ejection system either.

Reddit has become a heavily censored website that supports only one political viewpoint. For instance, I cannot say on reddit that BLM by definition checks off all boxes for a terrorist hate group because I will be banned. This goes for large swaths of society in general where people have gone from free speech advocates to raving lunatics ready to censor, ban, cancel, and fire anyone who does not support their views.

Next reddit will start with free speech and, if it becomes popular, eventually the anti-free speech people will move in and turn it into reddit.

That may be the classical view of management but is does not reflect the business environment today. Is Trump a "leader?" Today "leadership" is not respected in any environment and most managers do not have any correct qualifications, degrees, or experience. Study up on power-knowledge. Concepts: Power cannot be given to someone. It is created at the same time that it is asserted. Power is closely tied to knowledge monopolies.

The usual way into a first management job is to follow a previous manager to a new company where the manager is getting a promotion. The manager needs allies and can't trust people at the new company, so brings along one or two as managers.

Don't believe for a second that hard work or not screwing up will lead to a management position. If you think this you are not ready for a management position. For instance a lead dev I worked with screwed up a critical messaging system badly. He was already slated for a management job, so another dev was moved in to take the blame. This is what goes on in businesses as a matter of rule, not exception.

You need to make some deals and show a propensity for management 'skills' namely bending reality and perceptions towards your point of view while motivating people to do things they don't want to do.

A pro will additionally want to delay fixing a problem so that the root cause can be determined if there is no major financial cost. Management will want to brute force solve the problem right away and forget about it. Usually this involves restarting something: machine/instance.

Hmm, it was in 8.02
