The distinction matters because it is the difference between random hypotheticals and real world events. To draw an analogy: should the TSA assume everyone might have a weapon and do a "special" search on every airline passenger

It's a bit scary how much I am being downvoted for asking what I believe to be a reasonable question. I was expecting someone from the new project to give a quick response with a few points of assurance, and instead I am getting told t

So the answer is that I can't trust either Hashicorp or the forks?

But "move fast and break things" is precisely the opposite of what I want for a place where I store my passwords.

Hi, This is concerning. To me it looks like there is a holy war going on with devs who maintain a secrets manager. The last thing I want is instability with the tool that holds my passwords and credentials. On the low end of my concern is t

I'm only halfway through it, but The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. Absolutely fascinating insight into the political machinations of Nazi Germany.

How is it possible for anyone to manage 25 people? I see maximum 5-7 reports before it becomes overloading.

Why are so many software things written in node now? Seems that every new project I see, the installation begins with "npm install" :(

But the point is, would a similar employee who made a good faith effort be able to graduate out of the PIP? If you give an employee guardrails for success and they flounder anyways, then it seems the employee was not a good fit for the role

I chose the example I have experience with. I don't have experience with other EU countries, so I can't comment on those. I also don't have experience with massive large companies, so maybe this is a problem of scale rather t

> Why take care of one person? In sum, it does not pay off. That assessment is extremely short-sighted. The reason it will pay off is because other employees will see how you treat the one person. If they see you give someone who is str

It is absolutely not the same in Europe. Maybe it depends on the country. In Germany, you are expected to give honest (and sometimes brutal) feedback, but always with a way to improve in mind. But the idea of taking a company to court for s

Well it seems that PIPs are not actually improvement plans. An honest performance improvement plan would identify key areas that can reasonably be improved, steps to improve in those areas, and a timeframe to achieve that improvement. Ideal

This seems common in American companies. I wonder how much of this is a result of lawsuit culture. For example, American companies won't tell job applicants why they get rejected, lest they get sued by the rejected candidates. And perh

I recommend this review by Richard Whitaker, an ancient greek scholar from University of Cape Town. It's pretty scathing. https://casa-kvsa.org.za/legacy/AC63-Whitaker-18DEC2019.pdf

I have two questions for you. First, do you have any opinion on prescripting valciclovir? Apparently some ME/CFS presentations are linked to herpes, and taking valtrex significantly mitigates symptoms. However, in order for this to be

I agree 100%. That's why I used words like "seems" and "apparently." It's also why I opened my initial post with "There needs to be more research into this horrible disease."

by aestetix 3y ago
Ah, I see what you're saying. I think a more logical approach (for me) would be to say that there might be multiple biomarkers which could present ME/CFS type symptoms in different ways. Dr. Bhupesh Prusty has recently given some
