AMD based Lenovo (5xxx or 6xxx CPUs - best performance per watt, very good open source drivers) from X, T or P series. X will be slimmer, lighter and likely with better screen (for media consumption), T and P will be bulkier but have a bigg

And correctly so, given that center of Europe is east of Germany - in Poland. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe

Well, they are correct. Geographical center of Europe is in Poland. You are confusing eastern block with eastern Europe.

IIRC I got to move some heavy analytics queries, which could not be ran on a read only replica (rollups) and without hearing the word budget once. Main db remained on RDS.

Of course there are a lot of benefits of using hosted databases. I like hosted databases and use them for both work and personal projects. What I have a problem with is: - the premium over bare metal is just silly - maximum vertical scaling

Who would have guessed having local, low latency, high iops drives would be better than VM using iSCSI-attached drive for storage, right? ;-)

I remember how surprised people were when I demoed a $200/month bare metal server outperforming by a huge margin RDS MySQL instance that they were paying something upwards of 16k/month. IIRC we ended up using it as a disposable re

It also causes condensation because of rapid smoke cooling. Tar condensate will slowly seep through chimney wall. Stainless or ceramic chimney liner slows that process down, but neither will last a 100 years let alone a 1000.

If upper bound of their salary range is e.g. 30% below what I make right now it's very unlikely we can find an agreement and even if we could I'd be wary to accept an offer, because as an "expensive hire" I'd be les

If there isn't a salary range in their job posting AND they are reaching out to me IMO it's perfectly fair for me to either ask for a salary range or for them to confirm my expectations are within their salary range before I commi

Mostly by fucking about the pay: - By refusing to disclose salary range and insisting I should go through the process before they can tell me. They don't get an interview. - By trying paint their company as a startup despite over a bil

That would require a lawsuit IIRC, but it does have a some legal ramifications - I remember reading somewhere that C&D would make it easier for the recipient of it to sue. It definitely doesn't help their image or any antitrust law

If you were making minimum wage in California your state unemployment benefits would have been $267 per week. With federal covid aid that would have gone up to $567 - close to California minimum wage, but just short of it. I welcome you to

Unemployed are defined as "[..] people of working age who are without work, are available for work, and have taken specific steps to find work." The question is how many people exited the workforce, because both unemployment benef

If a breaking point is reached any wealth is distributed. Violently, inefficiently and unfairly, but all of it. Where do you think the support for communism came from in early XX century?

Considering both unemployment benefits and minimum wage are not enough to pay rent for a single bedroom apartment in every single state in US then yeah, I'd say quite a few of people would consider it at better deal.

If people are comparing $300 for 0 hours vs $300 for 40+ hours then sure. Try paying them $600 per week. If they see you pay enough for them to afford rent (which is not possible with $300 week) you will have the better offer.

CTE advice is somewhat questionable, as it is database specific. CTEs were for a very long time an optimization fence in PostgreSQL, were not inlined and behaved more like temporary materialized views. Only with release of PostgreSQL 12 som
