Santos, Shell, Woodside, Super Retail Group, AACo are all large companies with massive back office operations which aren’t listed. The fact they may have many more non-office workers doesn’t mean they don’t have large offices

Firstly Supply and demand of Software Engineers dictate a lot right now. In my market (East Coast of Australia) people aren't being as picky. Wages are shooting up, and they are willing to accept candidates that lack more of their desi

More then 36% APR for anything more then a fraction of your weekly / monthly salary is likely to be crippling for most people and predatory. I can understand higher rates for very short term debts (i.e. a payday loan where the entire t

I could see it happening where I work (Large Multinational in the Energy Industry). HR are removed enough that they would back this up, yet have the authority. Teams often report by function, therefore there isn't a local manager worri

RHEL running with SELinux enabled has been a thing since I worked at Red Hat 12 years ago, and Amazon Linux 2 was based on a CentOS upstream that had the capability of running in that way. All certification had to happen with SELinux enable

We can colonize the centre of Australia. There just isn't a reason to do so. You can see wherever they find a patch of minerals, a mining town springs up. Decades ago, there were towns all along the train lines to support the rail serv

Not to mention Atlassian are moving bitbucket to be in the same cloud as their other services. They likely could have negotiated a cheaper per unit cost on their entire cloud workload, thus its possible this has generated a saving for Jira,

Yeah and I have written bad code, and I expect to cop a few jabs if I do something stupid and my PR manages to brake something important. I don't have a problem with my co-workers saying I did something dumb. That's not the same a

The CTO of Azure has no responsibility to an Amazon recruiter. While the recruiter could likely be identified if you searched hard enough, most people aren't crazy enough to care. This is a teachable moment. Amazon shouldn't engag

I don't see the harm. Either this was following Amazon's standard practices or it wasn't. This SHOULD be the subject of ridicule! No one is saying hunt the guy down and dox him over it. If this is against Amazon's standa

OpenBSD is not your typical consumer desktop OS. If you expect it to be similar to linux / windows / macOS your not going to have a good time. As a unix workstation however it has its place. Certain things you might take for grant

I agree the cause can be made to go away overnight. However the impact of doing the wrong thing could be disastrous. In Australia we have a housing bubble, but the problem is woven very deep. Our tax system favours property investments. Our

I remember plans for email credits / micro transactions back in the 90s as a “cure” for spam. If anything it would be easier to implement today with the centralisation of email services around large providers (MS, Google, etc).

No, it says it was a lie that vaccines would stop the spread. I see that for shorthand that the whole response wasn’t managed properly as the “spread” still happened. I don’t think it’s a fair criticism of Biden, but it’s a rap song, which

It will be interesting to see if this is a custom SOC in the sense they took some off the shelf IP, or if they are creating a new microarchitecture. A SOC based on existing IP is a solid investment, but nothing like the scale of investment
