Yet they manage to invent and vote for absolutely atrocious laws. I bet their intelligence is highly concentrated on improving their own agenda whatever that be rather than well being of general populace.
Are you sure? I mean have you been watching the impeachment proceedings? Intelligence doesn't seem a virtue of congress at the moment or Trump would have senators from BOTH parties with pitch forks outside his door.
It's more like 20% but it shouldn't be affecting your base.
If anything it should be increasing it.
They are, in general, scum of the earth though, so tread lightly and hold no loyalty.
Don't give them your CV in word format unless you feel like finding modified versions of it in the interview.
And please replace referral contact/ name info with "referrals available on request" unless you don't mind your old boss being hit up for new work behind your back.
Looks like you're not working with a recruiter. (Not a bad thing)
Going off my sample size of three, yes, that looks like the average experience.
It's just a numbers game/funnel like anything in sales.
The 50 applications thing is one of the reasons I get really annoyed at people who claim software Devs have it so easy (we do) but when asked how many jobs they applied for last week it's like, oh I applied for 5 jobs over the last 6 months.
Here I am writing and sending 10 unique, researched cover letters every day. No wonder I get hired in under two weeks.
Those are all valid trade offs, but its ignoring the issue raised in the AP.
Like, is an environment like this encouraging bad habbits?
But anyway..
Special hardware: such as? Very few systems can't be downscaled. Situations where you need this special hardware we are talking horizontal multi server setups anyway.
Special workspaces: be less special, improve tooling, improve build operations. Very few setups actually needs centralised configuration.
Large compilations: I'm not sold that a) there is many people with the justifiable need, and b) any real justifiable need is likely going to want on demand autoscaling of the compilation servers, i.e. development won't be local anyway.
I'm not trying to debunk everything you've said. It's a trade off and I've used central dev databases in the past for legacy systems and it worked well for those in the office.
All I can tell you is that iteration speed, testability of code, manual testing and all around team morale was DRASTICALLY improved by stubbing out that bottleneck in newer systems.
I'm speaking for my individual case and others I work with where we have codebases of over a million lines of c++, with many header-only libraries. On an 80-core server make -j can still take 3-4 minutes, and that uses all the resources on the machine. Trust me, I wish I could have something as fast that's not centralized. The closest I can think of is either a VM (slow/wasteful), or a container. The container would be really easy if everyone used vscode with the container development plugin, but not everyone on the team does.
For those that don't, it's much more friction to remember to start it up, etc.
Read whole thread so far, haven't seen anyone mention their network conditions. Can people indicate to me if this is just as nice over Pacific ocean sized hops or is this just working nice when you're talking down the road / in the building?
Unrelated? How? It's Facebook. They have shown a repeated assualt and disavowement of social responsibility. I wouldn't expect Exon mobile to do very nice things in non oil contexts. Are you saying you would?
Reference? Where have you been? Cambridge analytica? It's advertising arms? It's all selling user data either directly or indirectly. Don't be so naive.
This is a strawman argument. And I wish people would stop relegating this type of system refactoring to some idiotic attempt to institute order for the sake of order.
Tidying systems up so they are organised "from my perspective" is not done, "for my benefit". It's done to make things easier to change.
Yes, it can make things less performance, no, most of the time that is irrelevant.
Refactoring is not optimisation. They are different things and both need to happen.
They both require you to make trade offs against future difficulties.
Or as Frank Vertosick pointed out in his book, mother nature wants life in general to continue, but doesn't give a shit whether any one individual lives or not.
Man-made structures do have some redundancy, but in general we don't build like that. When we install brackets like the one in the picture, we don't install a few extra ones with the expectation that some will fail. We make them much stronger than necessary ("safety factor") so we're sure none will ever fail.
Mother nature can't afford to put all her eggs in one basket. Humans often can't afford not to.
Many things are made with finite durability. Perhaps most. Paint chips, air filters clog, lubrication is scratched away, wood rots, tires and brakes wear away.
You're the one sitting here on the internet claiming defeat.
How many people have you told to cut back on consumption and fuel use this month?
Yea. That's what I thought.
Don't act like it's impossible to change behavior it's not.
Smoking, drunk driving, domestic violence, racism, homophobia, and a bunch of other social issues have all been largely tackled the last few decades.
In WW2 we repurposed car factories to make tanks in a matter of weeks.
Please, don't act like we're a bunch of invilids incapable of change.
Speak for yourself.
