So you're saying that the splitters are split into two groups? One group which knows when it's a good time to split, and the other group which doesn't?,

How much money (hourly) are you offering and how much does your product cost?

I'd be willing to accept $100/hr from someone I'm paying $100/month to, but I wouldn't care for $25/hr from someone I'm paying $25/year to.

The good old "Statistics don't apply to an individual"

Financial security is the reason - if people don't have financial security, they'll expect their children to care for them in their old age when they're unable to earn. That's the case in most (all?) immigrants cultures - children are expected to, and do, take care of their parents in their old age (exceptions are always there ofc).

After families are established and have financial security, they no longer need to rely on their children in their old age - at which point it becomes a choice.

Perhaps - 1) The people in the richer society are exposed to more ideas and options than the people in poorer societies, which makes them evaluate having/not having children vs "have them because everyone does it" 2) The people in richer societies have a social security net/wealth to fall back on in their old age, whereas the poorer societies are always "hand to mouth" without having the luxury of any retirement savings - all their time and energy goes just for basic survival - and they need children to support them in their old age.

I'm in the same position with the same question.

Personally, I'm planning to learn about the internal implementation of databas(es), starting with the book Designing Data Intensive Applications. This is so that I learn about the current ways data is stored

Yep, felt the same.

I cope by reminding myself that I shouldn't compare my personal knowledge with the combined knowledge of a community - multiple people here are knowledgeable about and post about different areas

I was diagnosed at 29.

FWIW, this is exactly what it's like for me too - "Not enough stimulation and I get distracted easily, too much stimulation and I shut down completely."

Is this pattern of responses from him, the same to everyone, or just to you?

If it's the former, it's probably just them and not office politics.

Their answer sounds fine to me.

Stack trace usually means a full stack trace. I've rarely seen one in production - it's usually for unhandled errors. Usually it'll be a one line log which will point you to the point in code where it's erroring out.

Sounds like you just want the logs for the [microservice] for a particular failing request, and not the stack trace?

It'd be bad communication on both sides, here.

I think it's an apt analogy. If the store manager has never seen you before, the store manager would not know who you are at all unless you introduce yourself.

The only thing they would learn about you would be characteristics like height/weight/voice/tattoos etc - your IP address - and could use it to correlate you if seeing you in the future

We recently got Liraglutide for a family member and it's worked wonders. (It's an alternative to semaglutide, and only available as an injection). They've lost weight for the first time at age 64, mostly because they just don't feel hungry all the time anymore. They're super happy to see the stretch marks on their belly.

It costs around INR 12,500/month though for a total of 3 injections, after a 20% discount, which is super expensive. (For comparison, a strip of 15 tablets of Hydroxychloroquine costs INR 110, and all their other medicines for diabetes, hypertension, depression, insulin etc cost INR 6000/month combined). And insurance doesn't cover any medication here unless it's 30-60 days pre/post hospitalization.

There's quite a few VPNs who have been asked to keep logs by the authorities but the VPN providers contest it in court, and since their jurisdiction laws don't need them to, the courts side with the VPN providers.

Mullad, OVPN are a couple.

What are your opinions on those? Not every country has laws like USA/India, which give the government free reign by citing certain Acts.

This thing is pretty common in India for fresh graduates joining big MNCs.

They usually have to stay at the company for 1-3 years, and pay a "training amount" if they leave before that.

Two things - First - I learn how the data flows from the source to the end. That teaches me to navigate the codebase entirely. (User action to database, or source data to end data etc.

Second - I learn how different components are wired together.

I have a massive tab problem, and had to build a personal SOP to manage it. I have 400+ tabs open on Chrome right now, on my mobile. Every now and then, I use chrome on my laptop to open all tabs from my mobile (tabs from other devices show in History), save them to one tab (browser extension), and save it as a HTML, and close all tabs on my mobile. It doesn't take more than a week to build up to more than 100 again.

I believe my record has been 1100+ tabs on Chrome, and 5000+ tabs on Opera Mobile.

The desktop version of these apps can't handle these amounts nearly as well..

It should take 10 milliseconds?

I find it varies a lot from day to day and time to time. It probably has to do with a combination of sleep, food, type of contexts and tasks I'm working in, distractions (active and passive/background), and probably other factors.

I've considered and tried to optimize it so that I'm working clos to the peak, but then decided that'd be too much effort and too restrictive, and instead try different things (music, isolation, gaining context, writing/thinking, approaching the work in different ways etc) when I feel I'm not working well

I don't wanna spend money or effort on it since I wasn't involved.

I would've 100% sued and paid for PR releases if they deleted a domain name I owned.

I'm sure I could make decent money off punitive damages based off the email they sent, and these headlines would be pretty catchy -

"Tech giant siezed and deleted a customers domain name."

"Using Cloudflare can destroy your business overnight. This is how"

"Own a domain name? Your registrar can delete it without any recourse."

"Cloudflare siezed and deleted a customers' domain"

I'd need to check if I can use the word "illegally" in the title.

I hope they compensate OP. I'm sure they could still sue them if inclined..ICANN should have some rules about this.

I'm one of those.

I'm more interested in the comments than the posts.

I'm a Software Engineer.

Currently I'm working for a USA based product company with ~1000 employees (The ones who said "We'll get a new front-end resource soon". "We're opening two more backfills for backend resources". "We need a front-end resource to unblock this ticket".)

The interview invite was for the position of a Tech Lead in an outsourcing firm in India. (The ones who said "Request to panel-Please Take Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof and share the Feedback along with IRF post completion of interview."

Edit: In a recent anonymous survey, I gave the feedback to stop treating the India employees as code monkeys or outsourced work, because several have started considering this as "yet another service-company type job", and are thinking to leave. With outsourcing companies, you expect it. But if most indian engineers had clarified that "the India office is not a outsourcing office for this company" before joining, people are gonna be more pissed on being treated like that.

"Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof" - It means a screenshot of the interviewee and their ID proof together.

It's a virtual interview invite. They usually ask the interviewees to hold up their ID proof, then take screenshots, before starting the interview.

Very literally.

"We'll get a new front-end resource soon". "We're opening two more backfills for backend resources".

"We need a front-end resource to unblock this ticket".

I have a interview on Monday which I will decline. Literally copy pasting from their meeting invite - "Request to panel-Please Take Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof and share the Feedback along with IRF post completion of interview."

It's gross.

It's pretty common in outsourcing companies.

Even in a lot of product based companies tbh. I had to push quite a bit to get people to stop referring to SWEs as "resources"..

It's a reply to David/Daniels email to the F500 org. The dev didn't post a screenshot of their reply, but they mentioned this - "I answered the email very briefly and said I will be happy to answer with details as soon as we have a support contract signed."

YouTube's personalization recommendation is a nightmare. Just the other day, YouTube played "Billie eilish -copycat" for me literally after every other song.

I pretty much only YouTube in Incognito mode these days. Everytime I forget, YouTube manages to annoy me so much within half an hour that I switch to Incognito again.

Your Java example hits too close to home. I know Java pretty well, and despite several good interviews, I got rejected because I didn't know Spring. One company even told me to learn Spring, build an independent project on it, and come back to interview. They followed up with me for 3 months after that till I told them not to anymore. At that time I was proficient in Java, Angular, Typescript, C# & Jython.

Ironically - I got hired into a product company which mostly works on their own internal java frameworks and didn't have a spring requirement. I figured I'll have to give time to learning Spring on the side since most Java jobs require it, but my first project here was on Spring Boot/Hibernate/Angular because of a client requirement, and I was put on it purely because of my Angular knowledge.

I'd understand if a company required complicated stuff done in Spring/Hibernate, but most organizations use of Spring Boot is limited to building rest APIs, for which no previous knowledge is necessary. I haven't yet run into an issue I couldn't solve by less than an hour of googling despite having no experience in it beforehand - even making interceptors and adding Spring Security.

Because of its simplicity I do wonder if I've barely touched the edge of it, and the usual usecase is much more complicated than this, but I'm planning on learning spring on Udemy anyway, so I guess I'll find out.

Have you looked into Bareos?

I'm setting up backups and looked into most available solutions, including restic, borg, and duplicity, but Bareos by far seems the best one. It's just a little harder to set up, but totally worth it.

I had the blog post open on my mobile for the past day and this really explains why my phone was acting up.. It's gotten noticeabley faster right after closing it.
