The reviewer probably isn't aware of the tech bubble too. All the madness that is facebook & instagram, were fueled by arcane commands in a terminal. I remember from the first bubble that made computer science so hot, we had history m

don't worry, next week I'll release JSON6 and nobody will remember JSON5 anymore.

Where is this GWT compiler for Go? From what I understand, GWT is for Java translation only, and it only works well on code that doesn't reference any third party libraries. It doesn't work that well on code that makes heavy use of annota

I'm sure the reason why users pick node is probably similar reasons why one picks ruby/python -- it's not for the speed. The language of the web is javascript. Until web browsers allow Go as the embeddable language, node will remain useful

ugh. have you ever developed stuff in XUL? It's not a great system. It's also pretty ancient, so there's probably cruft there support old XUL applications built in 2002. I think the main problem is that XUL is like HTML, but not. So peo

Most of the heroes of our time do things that are probably not worth it financially, but do it to set things right for future generations. I'm sure Martin Luther King was well aware that he'd probably be assassinated for attempting to brin

"work related mistake"? If anything, the CTO should be blamed here... it's not hard to do a sql dump on the hour for backups.

It's also the type of founder that would dilute the employee options pool first, before touching their own. "it's okay to screw employees because they'll leave anyway"

I think Joshua's rep broke even, or possibly slightly ahead. It shows that he's a passionate employee, and will go out of his way to make things right. In a work setting, he'll probably fix up that copy-pasta code instead of just leaving

Yes, but the public doesn't know, or care what the actual company policy reads. Even if the company was 90% in the right, they should still accept all the blame, just to appease the pitchforks. Remember that incident with Airbnb where a wo

The best damage control would have been to admit the mistake and move on, not try to blame it on the "unclear" company policy. The founder tries to make it look like it wasn't his fault, but ends up looking even worse. There is a silver li

I'm not so sure that his actions would be considered "disloyal" to his former employees. If anything, his former employees might be happy that their founder was called out on a mistake, to prevent the founder from doing other sleazy tactic

I see this as doing your former coworkers a favor actually. They might not even know what type of person their boss is behind the scenes. The former coworkers might actually be happy that their boss was called out on shenanigans, to preve

looks like that's exactly what happened... Somrat just paid the employee $10k.

by veemjeem 14y ago
Well in this case, it looks like the employee was in the right. Just a few minutes ago, the founder (Somrat) admitted his mistake and paid Joshua the full $10k. Later on when future employers see this, they'll realize that the employee has

It doesn't matter which category the payment falls into. If the amount was specified in an email from a stakeholder, with specific guidelines, it's cash due. When lawyers make a decision, they're not going to decide which bucket this amou

The bonus was a legally binding contract. As long as statute of limitations has not passed, then the company is obligated to compensate according to contract. I guess you could wait 10 years, but if the company is no longer around, you pr

Everyone has plans to backup data... it isn't until they actually lose data before they think about a backup. This also means that anyone that actually has backups, has probably lost data in the past...

I disagree. Companies that do this need to outed. There are companies that do this all the time to "old" employees who are just about ready to receive their pension benefits. They'll fire said employee on dubious grounds to save 30 grand

I think that's just the description, nowhere in the text it says you have to complete all 5 to win a prize. Since there's 10 winners per store, it looks like you just have to be in the top 10 per store in scenarios completed to win. So un

yes, we get that, but there's no need to reply to every comment about your skepticism.

Which parts seemed to be cgi? There was edited footage, but it doesn't seem wrong. I don't know why someone would go through all that trouble with the other 14 videos to create 1 fake one.

Sounds like you've never lived in a big city before -- many "real" apartments lack laundry machines too. You actually have to take your laundry and go to a laundromat across the street. Painful right?
