It’s a bit more messy than that in California even. Non competes are not forbidden, just generally unenforceable due to some other labor laws. So a lot of companies will still to this day have employees sign non-competes, and threaten the

I’d toss an asterisk onto #5 1 on 1s can vary a lot from person to person. I absolutely love my manager, but we’ve never had a 1 on 1 where she spelled out how I’m tracking towards goals. That’d be wayyyyy too formal for the nature of our

I would prefer a generic message and a promise for follow up once all the facts are known over a rushed response that may be incorrect. I’m an engineering manager in an infrastructure team (not at all affiliated with Digital Ocean, tho full

That’d be unrealistic for any company to claim, and if any company I worked with did claim that I would run for the hills. That’s akin to saying “we’ll never ship a bug”, or “we have an SLO of 100%”. That’s impossible for anyone to claim. S

7 hours, on a Friday night in the headquarters time zone. This issue is resolved and is clearly not wide spread, so does getting a response on Monday or Tuesday vs right now make any difference? Companies are made of people. Let the peopl

Buying competition = removing competition Removing competition is literally the most anticompetitive thing you can do. Like definitionally. That’s why all major (edit: US) acquisitions take months to years to get approval from the SEC.

Of course not, it's not Google's language, it's Rob Pike's language. The logo was designed by his wife, and most of the questionable design choices in Go are there because of his opinions, such as the dubious dependency

I’m a bit nervous about the movie, unless they pull a Deathly Hallows and split it into two films. The audio book is 32 hours long. That’s a lot to pack into a ~2 hour movie. But that’s a pretty big risk to do with a single novel. Harry

Looks a lot like the cloud ark from Neil Stevenson’s hard science fiction book ”Seveneves”. The long of the short of it is that moon goes boom, kills life on earth, humanity survives onboard the ISS and a flurry of small habitation pods whi

Then they should call it "idempotent processing". They know that when people, especially middle or upper management, ask about queues, they insist on needing "exactly once" delivery, and will never understand the FLP

Exactly once delivery is not a thing, and confluent needs to stop openly lying to people about it. At least once delivery and idempotence is not the same, and has existed forever. Calling it “exactly once” is marketing BS. It’s the same a

Not so much angry as frustrated. Crypto currencies overlook the benefits of a centralized currency - some entity to correct mistakes. Fiat currency is backed by the trust in a nation state for example. If my money disappears, I have some

Most of the roads are effectively single lane, two at most, once you subtract the taxi/bus lane. One truck parked in the middle of the road to deliver something, or one car blocking the box at an intersection and it’s a standstill. Als
