Heh. That is exactly the incident that had me quit Facebook and stop real sharing on social media.

Only per person if you are are dual or multiple income. For some asinine reason 401k limits are not only very low, but don't take into account how many people are going to depend on that 401k.

I have been at companies that did the remote cost of living adjustment. End result was that I rapidly outgrew their myopic policies and ended up at companies that didn't. The real complaint here IMO is that compensation is set by suppl

People will pay you wildly differing amounts for the same work. People will lie to you about what you have to do to get paid more. They may claim you are not good enough to try to con both you as an individual and labor as a group into work

That assumes the profits go to the shareholders. I don't think that's a safe assumption and I don't think that will necessarily persist.

Testing via software fault injection is quite reasonable if you introduce all the necessary cases. What SQLite tests for is more than most databases do! There aren't really build any special mechanisms besides fsync/msync if the d

I saw this go by and was a bit confused. Normally the way this is done they don't supply the content from the original game you have to provide your own copy which you then mod to use the newer version of the engine. You might need a c

The appliance repair model is as awful. Call around and wait for someone to come and fail to fix the appliance. Pay way too much for said unskilled labor. Either pay again or wait forever for the original person to come and do it right as t

Those ships are expensive because their ships. Complex redundant systems pieced together bit by bit by hand. Throwing a hyperdrive on whatever mass you have handy is a whole different ball game. Unless the hyperdrive itself represents the d

Wow you needed a throw away to post that? Is there a story behind that?

Sounds like you need patient advocate insurance. I wish I were trolling.

You also need to take into account the cost of not filling positions. Eventually that cost eclipses the cost of training. Also more experienced developers have an easier time jumping ship for their next >20% bump in compensation. Even wi

Java's garbage collected heap is not the full extent of memory used by Cassandra. Cassandra can use as much memory as you can throw at it. File system cache, in process decompressed page cache, key and row cache, off heap memtables etc

It's a good book and one of my favorites, but I prefer "The Four Pillars of Investing" by William Bernstein. [1] Even the recommendations there are more complicated than I prefer. Vanguard has some wrapper funds (Life Strateg

You pay the sharing cost regardless of whether the operation used to access the cache line is atomic or guarantees visibility. At least on x86. See false sharing. The extra penalty introduced by common atomic operations that make strong gua

+1 you pay at the time the stock vests. When you sell you pay tax on any gains that occur after the stock vested. If you sell immediately there is no/little tax burden.

Start by reading https://www.amazon.com/Four-Pillars-Investing-Building-Portf... Your intuition is correct. Holding your employers stock means that if your employer implodes not only do you lose your job you lose a nice chu

It's great they are getting something out the door today at a lower price with lower barrier to entry and less complexity. That said this doesn't seem to support tracked controllers and it's not clear if it would ever support

Ah sorry I should have elaborated more. So in English politically correct culture calling transgender people "it" is not considered OK. Things that are "it" aren't people. You can use they/them or refer to the

It's not clear why you put "it" in quotes or used the term "it" which generally doesn't refer to a person.

I noticed that as well. Maybe it's assuming a CPU cache and TLB miss on read which means going to the kernel. Also on write if it's a new page you are going to have to fault once for every page which depending on write size is lik

Avoiding new cars is not something I agree with. A new inexpensive Toyota Corolla will have cheaper financing, fewer miles, and a longer warranty and fewer years at the starting to get expensive to maintain stage. You also have to price in

You are right the red dot might be the first time. The dial varies all over the map series 1, 2, 3, depending on finish and material. I can't discern a pattern that isn't just dependent on the finish of the watch.

I think it's so you can tell at a glance what generation watch you are looking at. They did a similar change series 1 to 2. There are people for whom that matters.
