Ending up with a significantly higher salary than your peers isn't always the best outcome either. It sets expectations that you may not be able to meet.

True, though there's lots of different experiences. Some companies don't even allow the hiring manager to see/know the offer until after it's accepted. All delegated to some HR "compensation" group that is de

Lots to like about the article, but it seems to hinge on the idea that the company will tell you the salary range. A lot of the article keys off off where the offer falls in the range. That works at many tech companies where the range is we

QuickJS is also fantastic, but not anywhere near Elk in terms of size. Elk is ~59k (1300 lines) of C code, and has some limitations (like no for loops, for example) that I assume were traded off so it could run on things like the 2K RAM &

I imagine it's nice for things like a product that allows some amount of scripted control by end users.

Yes, but the $300 device wasn't really my main point. Just some middle ground of using Google, but maintaining a copy of important data. The copying could be done with a $30 external usb hard drive and regular visits to the Google Ta

If the liability of what would have been revealed by deposing Zuck is even higher than 50x. The math is "potential damage from a deposition + fine" vs "paying 50x the fine up front".

Unmanned, 98 feet long, and mach 6 sounds like a lot could go wrong. Lot of kinetic energy there. I know we already have (close to) this with missiles, but they tend to have A->B missions.

I think Apple is also risking what this all looks like to lawmakers. Lawmakers who currently seem to be in a frenzy around anti-trust and/or anti-competitive behavior.

They seem to be banning accounts that are clearly not terrorists. Also, I get there are some black and white cases here. But there's plenty of grey also. I imagine a lot of terrorist videos aren't posted by terrorists, but rathe

Not a fan of that analogy. Walmart can't brick your home thermostat, voice assistant, tv box, cable service, federated logins to Uber, DoorDash, your email account, cloud storage account, and so on.

I imagine Google takes business from lots of places and people that are unsavory to some. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

There's a middle ground too. I use lots of cloud services, but I also spent $300 on a home NAS device to sync copies of the stuff I can't live without. Not affiliated with them, but I bought a Synology unit, and the UI lets you p

Presumably, skilled developers won't be the majority working in roles where copy pasting from the AI tool is a common pattern. I like PHP, for example, but a fair amount of the criticism of existing PHP codebases is because the ecosyst

The VBA blob is documented: https://interoperability.blob.core.windows.net/files/MS-OVBA... 111 pages, and it looks non-trivial to implement something to tear it apart. But, I give MS some credit for documenting it.

I wonder how many corporate networks have end users using things like Zerotier or Tailscale without the admins being aware. Especially running self-hosted where you can use well-known, allowed ports for the control pieces.
