> Don't quit your job until you've started the new one. Is that even allowed? In India at least, every company requires you to have left the previous one before you join them.

A person like this went on to become the #2 at Amazon. Says a lot about the company and his peers as well.

Well, he does have a point. Someone investing their life's savings to buy a second home for rental income is not the same as someone like Infy's Shibulal buying 700+ homes in Seattle [1] 1. https://economictimes.indiati

Not so much, actually. What really led to the rapid uptake of UPI was Covid and people's reluctance to handle cash as a result of it.

It's pretty popular in India too, especially among IT workers. These days I see a lot of young ladies smoking as well, which was pretty rare a decade or so ago.

It's not. Kinesis was around before Kafka became the de-facto tool for data streaming. AWS has a separate managed Kafka service called MSK, which came much later.

It kind of is. Well, the public dinging probably isn't. But at a few companies I've seen, teams are tracked on how many tickets span multiple sprints. If it exceeds some threshold, then theoretically it means that either: 1. The t

Suprisingly, Arnie looks pretty good in the posters for Terminator, Commando and Conan. The rest bear no resemblance to the originals.

Britain doesn't give aid to the Indian government. It gives aid to various NGOs that work there.

I've read 9 of these books but had heard of the nicknames for only 2 of those - the Camel book and the Dragon book.

Lol, I didn't know the meaning of Pajero in Spanish. It was a popular SUV among the rich and famous in India back in the day. Given their driving shenanigans with the vehicle, the meaning seems apt.

What is the "it's for the children" rationale? I would imagine wfh for the parents would be better for kids as they would get to spend more time with their parents.

Well, they didn't make up the rule just for kicks. It was bound to be enforced eventually, and that's what they're doing now.

I've read a lot of obituaries on this forum, but this is the first one that affected me on a personal level. I've been using vim for 15+ years now, and probably never gone more than a week without it. RIP Bram. Thank you for makin

Not sure if it's Fair Play, but, apropos of Japanese detective fiction, I found the works of Seishi Yokomizo [1] absolutely amazing. His works are very atmospheric and quite dark, but - dare I say it - better than even Agatha Christie&

Check out seqdiag, part of blockdiag [1]. It's python-based and uses graphviz (AFAIK) to generate sequence diagrams in SVG. I've used it several times and found it very good. 1. http://blockdiag.com/en/seqdiag

On a related note, you can look at hyperswitch [1], which is an open-source payment orchestrator that supports multiple payment processors. You can self-host it or they have a hosted version as well. 1. https://github.com/ju

Benioff started his career at Oracle and was a prodigy there - becoming the youngest ever VP or something like that. It's not surprising if his playbook is inspired by Larry's.

You can continue to use Ubuntu (upgrade to 23.04) unless you have an aversion to snaps, in which case you can go with Linux Mint - https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_victoria_mate_whatsnew.php

I don't see how having Away Teams fixes this issue. The Away Team member is still free to write shitty code (or un-write good code, as in this case), and it is still the responsibility of the home team to catch that in code reviews.

Very true. I installed the app, signed up, browsed for a few minutes to see what it was like, and then uninstalled it :-).

It's a great book, but it was depressing enough the first time I read it. I can't imagine reading it several times :(

We used to use this in a previous company. It reduced the build time from ~20 minutes to ~2 minutes; until a bug in the ld linker at the time (linking is not distributed - only compilation is) pushed it back up to 20 minutes. We had a hell

You can also look at Rippling - though I'm not sure if they sell only the payments part or you have to buy in to the entire employee management suite (which is not bad BTW). Disclaimer - I used to work there.

I'm having similar issue with my Ryzen laptop. May I know what you had to change to disable XHCI wakeup?

No, the company hasn't enabled it yet for us.
