Bolsonaro cast a vote in the coup impeachment dedicating his vote to the guy who under the dictatorship tortured his (Bolsanaro's) political opponent. They are not the same.

Are you reading US media? The US was clearly backing the coup, and Bolsonaro. So you're probably living in a propaganda bubble.

Good. Most such councils are echo chambers, because people who want to be on such councils are activists who want to destroy "the other". Which makes for a stable state of echo chamber extremists.

My main use of dd is when redirect doesn't have access. E.g. "tar cf - . | ssh foo 'sudo dd of=/some/path/blah.tar'". Not the best of examples, but it comes up all the time. Sure, I could use "t

That "sudo head" only works for reading, not writing though. I use dd when redirect doesn't have permission.

And they call it "green", despite the fact that it's obviously white. I agree with you. When I'm in the US I keep scanning for a green light, so it takes me a while to find "the white man" telling me it's

Yeah. I don't quite remember now, but I think many of the packages don't work if you don't have a separate /usr/local fs, since the packages need wxallowed. Unless you want to enable wxallowed on / or /usr

As the article says it's the OpenBSD default. As for why: A power loss will likely only affect filesystems being written to. So less risk of ending up with an unbootable system if / and /usr are not being written to. Even mor

Whereas for coal and other fossil burnings we do know where to store it: in our (now less) breathable air. More people die every year from radiation from coal, excluding accidents, than have died from nuclear (including accidents) since the

In a 10 person company this may affect whether the company is profitable or not. Which may affect if the whole company gets a year end bonus or not. It's also insulting in salary negotiations. The company would rather piss away cash th

There will be employees who will hear "this fired person's stock was taken out of your end of year bonus". Because it kinda was. Especially at a small company where one employee-month plus their stock can be a significant por

How do you mean that it is "the perfect solution" if the action has negative morale implications for every other employee? I'll go with your opinion being that it may be the best solution, but perfect it is not. The mere fact

Yeah, sounds best. I'd still run it past the lawyers to make sure it's fine to "badmouth" a former employee in your jurisdiction. It means taking ownership of the mistake, even if it does mean that you're effectivel

However paying them will be remembered too. It will be perceived as "why are you giving away profitability of the company (and thus my equity and/or end of year bonus) to someone you should have fired a long time ago?".

Every day a poor performer gets the same salary as you is morale-destroying. There's no perfect solution to this problem. 10 employees doing the work and wondering "why is this guy getting paid the same as me?" hurts the comp

If I worked at a place where a coworker has clearly been underperforming, but getting stocks on their way out, then that would demotivate me. > The vesting is compensation for work done and time spent in the role. We don't know all

by knorker 4y ago
On the flip side i bet the team knows this person is terrible. And letting them vest means you're telling them slacking off is fine, and you'll give them a piece of the company that could have gone to the people who actually work.

Well, surprise to you! :-) I'm not fanatic about iPhone/Android, but if I'd looked into switching to iPhone then this would be a hard dealbreaker for me. I've been on Dvorak something like 15 years. All my devices use it

I disagree. When for one reason or another I have to use a phone that uses qwerty I have to hunt and peck, with a large emphasis on "hunt".

Oh? I thought this would be important on the phone too. Not the home row thing, but the fact that vowels are on the left hand side, so that two thumbs will alternate as much as possible (alternating left and right hand fingers being an expl

These options are addressed in the post, and they are very far from fixing the problem. Yes, they are better than nothing. But as explained in the article it's still like wandering blindfolded into a minefield.

There are two good reasons why Grace Hoppen should not be used as an example. 1. You are (likely) not Grace Hopper. 2. Computer science was, in a way, much easier back then. At least very different. Listen to the Brian Kernighan being inter
