Managers 3+ levels up won't fire you individually, just cut entire teams/departments.

That assumes internal promotion and selection by middle managers. For internal promotion selection by senior managers is more likely. More so for external hires.

The lower you are the more such single people above you who can sack you.

You think middle management's job is to select for the C suite? I fear you live in a dream world.

It's because the 'value' of something (eg a machine) is 'used up' over time until eg the machine eventually wears out and needs replacing. Depreciation reflects that the asset's value is used up over time by al

Anyone with half a brain can pick up vue in a weekend. Your problem appears to be a complete disinterest in investing in new hires.

Chuck them through AI and ask how suitable the person is.

Might be a good idea to keep at least one human in the loop. Otherwise, just use grad-level maths to confuse it into giving refunds I suppose [1]. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13867

If Apple made a split ergo programmable keyboard I'd probably buy one. It's kind of weird to me all the ergo mech crowd have latched onto the mech part, when I'm sure there are others like me who want split ergo and low profi

Yeah and those keyboards give some of us RSI.

by nprateem 3y ago
I used this for 15 years and now within 5 minutes it gives me crippling RSI. Now, going from an ergo keyboard with 35g keys to this it's obvious just how much effort it takes to press the keys. Either way gutted I can't use this a

I'm looking for a programmable (ZMK/QMK) split ergo ortholinear keyboard that uses low travel macbook-style keys and can be custom tented. Any suggestions?

It's not the money, it's using a payment card as verification, even just for $0.5 per month. But yeah, this will kill it.

Of course this would be possible with DRMd books. One could, hypothetically of course, use e.g. some kind of script to automatically turn the page of the e-reader, screenshot it, then use image recognition to convert to epub, etc. to archiv

And yet even after writing Go for 5+ years I still have to Google for what actually implements Reader so I can read a file, etc.

I went the other way as I was sick of all the repetition in Go. Spring boot/JPA data repositories save so much SQL, and spring boot automatically marshals to and from JSON, form data, etc. It means you can just work on the meaningful b

Same here. I get all sorts of nonsensical suggestions when swiping now that I never used to get. It changed a few years pre-covid, so yeah, 5-6 years ago. I assumed it was stunting to do with a list lawsuit against samsung or something

Quite. And yet even in these comments there are people dismissing gathering any data as a waste of time.

Maybe next year they can pay someone to update the UI. It's a mess compared to Word.
