What about a security camera?

Are you American? I am, and this line of thinking screams "uniquely American" to me, but I'm curious if "liabilities everywhere" is similarly a concern across the pond. My understanding has been that every other cou

Doesn't "CSO" come with potential for personal liability in worst-case scenarios? It's not clear if OP volunteered/applied for this security role, or it was thrust upon them. If the company isn't wise enough to

Investment in what ? The plant is still running, no? Do they need more plants, repairs to existing, or upgrades to existing? How do I dig further?

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I can't quite follow what you're saying. I know it's anti-privatization, but I can really make out the rest. What does this mean > "After the private have do not profiting from

I can agree that it's foolish to expect payment for labor done without agreement of compensation, but your likening of volunteering at a soup kitchen to Amazon profiting from FOSS contributions doesn't quite land for me.

Is it possible that, given the information your employer has, they can determine you are worth no more than a 4% raise? While, on the other hand, the prospective new employer does not have the same information (the experience of actually be

Specified, delegated and approved by distracted executives? Criminally negligent executives, in my personal opinion.

What would "recession in full swing" look like exactly, from the perspective of changing your firm's behavior?

This is it. Have a network that recognizes you as a high impact contributor. It's no more complicated, and no more simple than that. What you're asking is more likely "how do you do that". Talent, luck, hard work, or nep

Mmm, indeed. Although they began as a free ad-supported service. Certainly a peculiar case.

Agree to disagree then. I find ORMs to be enormously helpful more often than not, if not without perils, and I know SQL.
466.
by ttymck 4y ago
I've never said this before but I'll say it now: "'ORMs are for people who don't know SQL' is usually said by people who have never written a complex application." I agree that ORMs are dangerous and clums

> He asked us why we can't "build the website on wix". This strikes me as a very effective question. Even if the answer is "because wix can't do asset fingerprinting, etc", then the CTO now knows the limitat

Sure, in a way, it's the same narrative.

Insider trading is currently illegal (nominally). Congressional stock trading (not necessarily insider) would be banned by that bill, and to your point about "previous": I think it's fairly well established that laws can&#x27

You can still owe someone (some business) money, even if a credit card is never involved. If a bill goes unpaid, it can go to collections.

Why would an employer be unable to claim indemnity if their employee committed fraud? I agree that your position is the safe, conservative perspective, but I don't think it's quite so absolute.

A few (probably naive) thoughts: - I will be excited to see if a new jvm actor system emerges as a competitor. Or perhaps a fork. - I would be excited to see more consideration given to Elixir and OTP, where previously Akka may have been fa

Bait and switch? They will be free to continue using the version of Akka they currently use. If there was ever any assumption of future free versions, without remuneration, that was misguided. Akka could have been abandoned at any moment.

Why is this a problem? When would you reference the type but not actually need the type? If you're returning the type from some method in your API, but not instantiating it there?

Not to be glib, but did you read the rest of my reply? Your third paragraph starts to align with what I said. But "buy a smaller house" is not a helpful response to "there are no small houses for sale".

by ttymck 4y ago
This is interesting, because (at least in America) the current rhetoric is that housing was laughably affordable up until the 70s(?). Now, even in suburbs, housing is far more expensive than most wage earners could expect to afford. Maybe w
