I would probably do the same and if I was a lawyer I would probably advise it too. They have already ended their careers, there is nothing to be gained for them from being questioned. And the less videos the better for whatever they will be

I don't think companies hire more people due to those jobs programs. I think what typically happens is they use those programs to hire people they would hire anyway AND get a bonus. Or maybe just shift where they hire people.

Oh my, where to start. First of all skips the part why non-tech companies need so many people? There is a number of factors: * selection bias. We are talking about these companies exactly because they are large. There are companies like Wha

It is Ryzen 5 Pro 5750G. It is a unique CPU that supports ECC, has 8 cores 3.8GHz up to 4.6GHz (boost) but only 65W TDP. There is lots of options available but in the end I decided to make my own.

I live in a cold climate so maybe less examples on how to keep your house cool and more about how to keep it warm. I think I have seen a primitive but very effective heat exchanger in an old house. Normally, when you have a stove and chimne

Thank you, sir! That's exactly this one!

The overhangs don't have to take away from rentable space. It is in effect just a sun shade sticking out of the house horizontally blocking the sun without blocking the view like a baseball cap. I am looking to buy a property right now

This sounds great but there are alternatives. One nice trick I have seen is windows offset so that the light penetrates deep into rooms during winter but does not penetrate in at all during summer. And then the floors acting as thermal mass

We take this router with us on trips. It is nice to have your own fast, mobile Internet with you (no transfer or bandwidth limits). And when it does not serve as backup Internet it has site-to-site VPN to our home network.

I thought about 10Gig but then I decided almost no device I own can actually make use of it and even if it could, there are better ways to do it. I don't need to have 10Gig just to be able to edit videos/photos if I can easily sol

Yep, that's what I have. One large bank I worked for was very surprised and practically enraged when they figured out I work on a VM and they don't actually control the device I am sitting on. It all started because they decided

I don't know how much all of this consumes. The networking itself is pretty power hungry, just the APs probably consume more. On the other hand there are no fans in my setup except, incredibly, the laptop. But this fan is kicking in ex

Yes. I set up VLANs on my Cisco switches. The APs are told what vlans and WLANS are configured through Ubiquiti management panel. The APs are all connected to their assigned ports on the switches and the ports are configured to see all nece

This is never going to happen if you want to work for any larger company. And even if got it in writing (which you will not), they are unlikely to honour it because couple employees somehow got it in writing -- you will be coerced to change

The strict "on" policy is something that will depend on the job. At the start of my career I worked as a sysadmin and it makes sense to expect your sysadmins to be strictly available during working hours. As a developer/tech

There are no rules set in stone. My job is to find a way to work with my manager but many managers don't know how to do it or don't expect a person to be open about many aspects that are on the verge of being taboo. I am not impos

Yes. A decade ago it was minimum 3 years for individual contributors who are not super specialised in what they are doing -- if you worked for less multiple times in a row they would be asking for explanation. Now it is 2 years. I will also

I am not exonerating CEO as a person. But think in terms of the goal you want to achieve. If your goal is to stop layoffs and convince the CEO to act in a different way that shareholders will not like, the CEO will be replaced. And you will

Accountable to whom? For everything within the law, CEOs are only accountable to company owners. That's it. CEOs are only managing the company for somebody else -- the owners of the company. That's it. That's all they do. Whe

Good to know you can do some transphobic jokes about something and get it banned. Interesting DoS/sabotage vector. This is what happens when you have people "trying" to do good but not following principles.

Ever joined a team and needed to get results from them? Usually firing every single person and starting to hire for your high standards is not an option. There is your idealised view of how software development should work and then there is

After quarter of century as a developer with 1/3rd of this time in pair programming teams I can say that's not true. Works goes faster when you work with another person even if for the fact it is harder to procrastinate. And probl

Code reviews are bad anyway. This is the worst time to try to fix anything. The author has just finished (or thinks he finished) the work and any attempt to change anything by the reviewer is going to elicit resentment in most people. Try t

As they say... when all you have is a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail. Nowadays, software engineers barely finish learning basics of their first programming language and they jump in on scaling their first applications they
