See the other comment I made: I was explicitly asked to speak up.

You (in fashion of the article) missed the point I made: I was explicitly asked to speak up as the new employee and when I did I was told to stop speaking up. When I brought it up in the meeting I gave my two week notice, he admitted to say

Been told that before. When I spoke up, I was told that I was new and shouldn't talk about things I know nothing about.

These stories ring so, so true. Once worked at a company whose infrastructure issues were so deep and festering that after fighting a fire, my boss told me, "If you go to the press about this, the client will sue us and everyone who wo

I'm not sure why you think this is blown out of proportion. The fact that they had fear of the train car explode and cause a much worse disaster (ie, not small scale) cannot and should not be written off.

I think you deeply underestimate how many derailments happen each year in the US https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/how-often-do-trains-dera...

A lot of these issues, unfortunately, exist because a huge chunk of Chicago media simply doesn't understand legal processes involved in criminal cases or even where to begin researching. It gets technical, quickly, and many of the repo

Oh very, very much yes. I've been using QGIS for about five years now as the first step in doing any sort of visualization work around GIS data. Better to trust a GIS application than my own bad d3 code :). It's also been absolute

From the description of the implementation, it would only send telemetry data after seven days of being on. So, yes, as long as the docker container is up for that long. I didn't see anything that mentions whether it would communicate

by chaps 4y ago
There are tons of cases where the person installing go won't know that telemetry is enabled otherwise. For example, let's say you're at a bootcamp and the go installation instructions from your teacher don't mention tele

That's fair, but doesn't take away from the deeply, deeply exhausting need to do this sort of niche configuration thing for everything out there, let alone even recognizing that it's needed. Never mind the unduly need to read

The Go team at Google would run a collection server. Each week, with 10% probability (averaging ~5 times per year) the user’s Go installation would download a “collection configuration” to find out which counter values are of interest

Without those stars, we wouldn't have most of the elements we have today. But these stars no longer exist, so we have to look really far back. It's an important question!

by chaps 4y ago
What does size of the universe have to do with this? ;) The question is about the relationship between the age of the universe (well, after the big bang) and stars that came into existence afterwards. We have a pretty good idea how old the

A sibbling comment pointed out that deliberative process is widely abused and yes, absolutely it is. Almost sued the IL Senate a bunch of years back when they tried to argue that email metadata was exempt under legislative deliberation. The

(Yeah, wasn't sure how to rewrite the analogy to make it clear it was about the issue of lifetime. But I thought about it a bit more and edited my post after realizing that offers of a lifetime of apples is an apt analogy because of ho

You're making an apples to oranges comparison there. Rewritten to be more-similar: I own an orchard. My customers don't like our service of getting monthly apples. When I offer them the chance to purchase a lifetime supply of

Like another poster commented -- he has shares in that company that he praises.

It's because he has reason to destroy other competitors. Nice read otherwise.

Strange take you have there in assuming they don't understand performance possibilities. Many of the problems that analysts and such work on aren't performance bound because focusing on the performance would be a net waste of time

That's a really neat trick. Gosh, CTEs are great.

Whoa, that's weird. He expresses no concern for crimes committed by his fellow inmates but does want to point out the malfeasance of the state. This makes a kind of sense, whether it's true or not. I do wonder how much he kno

It very much looked like you were assuming the person was black because of their conviction. Ignoring the appearance of racism, it also completely voided everything you wrote because you were talking about the wrong person, making it all ef

by chaps 4y ago
Hey man, all I'm saying is that if you did some diligence before you posted a mountain of bleedingly ironic text, you wouldn't need to try to defend some pretty racist looking shit. Take it as a lesson and move on.

Now this is interesting. A black man in Texas raised Catholic is a rarity. He's got some pretty overt martyrdom symbolism going on here. His birthday is coinciding with Holy Week? If you're not familiar here's the signif

The comments he made about the medical examiner's office aren't exactly empty comments. It wasn't hard to find this information, so consider googling before being so dismissive with comments like yours. The FBI ended up raidi

Gross, yep. And since I'm using a VPN I'm thrown into the "give them the most painful captchas just to be sure" bucket.
