For sure, I don't disagree with you, but I dont think the world can wait for those problems to be solved.

I was more thinking if a bunch of first world countries got together and put up an amount of money that Brazil can't possibly give up on.

by shados 7y ago
I mean, the Brazilians will suffer too when the lack of Amazon forest starts fucking the world up. With that said, yes, 100% agree that we should just pay them to stop the bleeding. That forest is worth more than money. We can figure out a

There's a lot of ways to try and solve this, good and bad, and if Brazil was a super rich country, just strong arming them or shaming them into fixing their shit would probably be morally justifiable but...they're not. By far the

My house has windows on every side for similar reasons, but it's back firing big time. I have to keep them closed at all time because of noise, and they let the sun in, requiring even more A/C. We have blackout/insulating sha

There's a reason that "talkling the talk vs walking the walk" is a thing. A lot of people can speak (very deeply) about many topics, but as soon as they're in front of a keyboard it falls apart.

My info is also pretty out of date, but for a long time at least they would give a PDF/flier thingy with a "how to prepare for your interview" that had all that stuff listed, and it went in a lot of details.

I think its state by state, but even where it is, companies get a pretty bad rep for actually using it regularly on software engineers. In the current political climate it if the company involved isn't one where the koolaid is being dr

Ironically it took me a while to even start using that terminology. Where I'm from, "engineer" means something specific, even in software, and you can't just call yourself an engineer (well, there's no LAW against i

I wouldn't deal with the contractor paperwork myself, but in at will employment states that's not even needed. Hire by W-2 and let go after a few months if it doesn't work out. Thats absolutely my personal preference. The arg

If we could just accept that not all companies should cater to everyone, and each can pick their methods that work for them (and if you don't like it as an applicant, go elsewhere), things would be a bit simpler. When Im looking for a

Most fields where experience is "believed" fall in one of a couple of categories: 1) Extremely regulated fields with strict education, training and certification requirements (eg: a physician) 2) Fields where you have to show some

> That is, if you can get an interview That's a solid point. Yeah, engineering interviewing could be better, a lot better, but as we push to improve it, it's really important to keep in mind how privileged we are. I remember ha

The big delivery services like Grubhub are just awful and inconsistent. You never know exactly what their relationship with the restaurant is, so you never know what to expect. What I want is a pure aggregator. Give me a way to order online

I don't have a good calculator, but step 1 is to make sure you BUY the panels, and not rent them or fall into any kind of weird plans where you resell some energy for free panels or whatever. So your ROI is pretty much calculated with:

Yup, that's part of the issue. Essentially we're in a world where we have rules, but how they are enforced, used, interpreted, is a huge judgement call. I mean, there's always going to need some level of interpretation, becau

Maybe, maybe not, but thats a different battle altogether, and right now a huge portion of American politics revolve around this definition of diversity, and if it didn't, it's likely immigration would get stricter, not looser.

Not in the standard yet, but good incoming examples are decorators and private fields. They are not bad in all languages, but the way they are getting pushed in JS is awful.

I can't even tell if it's satire. But if it's not: I haven't see it be done easily over several hundred engineers. If you have that kind of charisma, hat off to you!

That works for things you want to DO, but is hard for things you DON'T want to do. As I mentioned in another post, as your org grows, there's going to be an infinite amount of things people push, and pushing back is hard. If you h

JavaScript is indeed a very good example of this. Not just in the ecosystem, but even just the standard itself. People are pushing for more and more stuff. People on the committee can say "no", but there's an infinite amount

The opposite. In this case people saying no are the ones understanding, and people complaining about them are the ones who don't have the full context. Of course the job of the people saying no becomes to document this, but at large en
