Equating Facebook with "free-range hacking" is laughable. That's exactly what companies like Facebook and Google want us to do.

Seems a touch hyperbolic no? 4700 jobs does not sound like a “hammering”.

Please don’t take my points above as all-inclusive! I can imagine cases where individuals (for whatever reason) have an instinctive bias against older employees. That’s unfortunate, and it means they can lose out on excellent talent by eval

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear: I'm not asking companies to pay older employees more. I'm simply pointing out that job-hopping and personal commitments make it likely that older employees will demand a higher salary, wh

I suspect there are a couple of reasons - especially in the newer/startup space: * Salary. Older employees are more experienced, but, just as importantly, they've already job-hopped a bit, so their base is a lot higher. And they&#

Oh, definitely - I t’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Not only does the US give Boeing huge tax breaks, but the defense expenditures are calculated to subsidize the commercial aircraft program. Unfortunately for us Canadians ne

Yeah. I don't know many people (outside of Manitoba, maybe?) who are buying that load of bovine feces. No one liked the BBD bailout, but we can all see a 300% duty for what it is: naked politicking.

Hmm. Sounds like “gta” is a reimplementation of “pants” or bazel (? - I’ve never worked with bazel).

Call me cynical, but it's not going to change anything: * Equifax won't have fines levied against it * C-level staff won't have to pay fines (because they put in place or rewarded a corporate culture that made security a low

It's not just money (though it is a big factor). The lower variety of jobs, the smaller startup pool, the more risk-averse investment community and proximity to the US all play a role. I'd also wager it's harder for consumer-

This is over-the-top negative. An RFC is not intended to be "paperwork", about the manager, or about "shouting each other down until an idea wins" - it's way more about the engineer, and helping us create a good des

I thought that Ragel was no longer open-source, and supported C/C++ only (admittedly, the second point isn't that big a deal, given the article and its audience).

From a financial damage-control perspective - exactly this. The money they'd have to pay out to him is far less than the social (and financial) cost of being blackballed in the media and by various groups.

This is absolutely awesome! Makes it so much easier to source data, as opposed to trying to trawl various websites, etc. etc.

Anecdotally , I've noticed more people from the left of the political spectrum being less tolerant of any view that doesn't mirror their own. Note that I'm not saying all . And, people can be left on some issues, and even t
