Blatant xenophobia lol. Jesus Christ the state of this world. Immigrants go through a significantly higher barrier of entry and background checking than your average citizen. The average citizen who is probably reading rhetoric like yours a

This legislation already exists in other countries. For example Swiss engineers have very specific on call requirements, and their salaries aren’t really less than Americans.

Yeah that is fair. And I’d put that under paging someone who is already on another on call shift. What I meant was like, paging a subject matter expert on your own team.

by aaomidi 2y ago
I really disagree with involve other people. This implies that everyone is effectively on call 24/7. You have a primary and secondary. No one else should be paged unless they’re on the rotation at that time.

Yes. That is abusive. Also generally if you’re ever asking if something is abusive, the answer is usually yes.

I’ll go as far as saying we need legislation to cover this. I do not like on call. I don’t actually mind the work but I don’t like the entitlement companies have towards it.

Suddenly? - steam families - removing the monopoly of windows gaming on PCs - removing a ton of game piracy by making a platform people want to use - progressing Linux desktop to be in a usable state ???

We have regressed so far since 2020 imo. 2020 showed that we can have remote work as the primary method of work for a vast majority of jobs. The government could’ve mandated that if your company’s work could be done remotely, remote work ha

IMO. You’re brainwashed for thinking technology is going to save us from this tbh. Climate already saw a lot of improvements during the 2020 lockdowns.

I’m not talking about China. China has well made internal alternatives to most western services. Iran does not.

by aaomidi 2y ago
Disagree on this take. Blocking services does have an economic impact. This alongside people smuggling in starlink is making censorship useless.

ECH is going to be huge for people in regressive countries. For example Iran.

Sure that’s an alternative too.

So many of these restrictions feels arbitrary. Not supporting comments? Why? Assuming UTC for tz is not weird and cron users expect it, I guess why even support this specific syntax if the crons need to be edited to fit how this code expect

Get your company to pay for on call. This is extremely important imo. It sets a positive culture and makes people want to do oncall rather than hate and dread it.

Yes. Climate catastrophe for one. Inability to see the point of life when you can’t even afford to move out. Etc. there’s hundreds of theories.

Apple is not responsible for ensuring your malware (yes, that’s what I personally consider this software) or even your software runs on Mac. The betas are there for you to test your code against future Mac releases. Apple can and probably w

You’d think that a company shipping a browser would pay a little more attention to security rules. Also, shame on firebase for not making this a bit more idiot proof. And really? $2500? That’s it? You could’ve owned literally every user of

One side is a terrorist organization. The other side is a self proclaimed most moral army of the world. I’m sorry that I don’t put these both on equal footing. Are you suggesting I should? And yes, history exists. There’s enough blame to be

Do you think that all the injuries were to terrorists? I’m not even counting the death. I’m counting all the injuries that happened with everyone else who was in the vicinity of this terror attack.

by aaomidi 2y ago
Because, surprisingly, terrorists are also people who live around others who aren’t terrorists. A kid died in these attacks and hundreds of other random civilians have had life altering injuries because of it.
