Readit NewsI'm not personally a fan of most social media, but saying "they could go somewhere else" is a pretty naieve/ignorant response.
Made worse in big corp due to affirmative action + lack of enough qualified candidates meeting diversity criteria.
Which is inevitable when you have coarse criteria applied to such a large industry this way so quickly, as it takes decades for anyone to be qualified for the senior roles, and many years for junior/mid level, even if there were no pipeline issues, which there are.
And unqualified folks in leadership, and mid level == stupid mistakes.
And, with the DOL rules, the company can’t even pay people differently, so no bueno even giving the high performers keeping things afloat better bonuses - unless they happen to meet the diversity criteria and it makes the stats look good.
Which it’s already hard enough to do properly when there is only one dimension, and impossible when there are 2-3.
so the bigger the company, the faster it has to cut its own throat.
Could you let us know where you work? I want to make sure I never apply there.
It's not too hard to keep a small number of people from causing chaos, but security presence costs money. Seems logical that VIPs would spend enough to make the security presence net profitable.
In a perfect world, we could either trust everyone to behave or we could afford to put security everywhere to enforce it, but we don't live in a perfect world.
You can also look at it as a "perk" of the more expensive ticket. First class passengers on an airplane are the only ones that get a full meal on most domestic air travel. How is this different?
Also: there are no people on board. If it blows up, it's "only" money that's lost.
SEIZURE WARNING: Once you win, there is a lot of flickering.
We're two programmers who have worked in core/platform engineering roles for most of our working lives. During that time, one of the main problems we've solved time and time again is to let people run their ad-hoc jobs and scripts on remote compute without hassle.
To solve this once and for everyone, we made Meadowrun, an open source tool that automates the tedious details of running Python code on cloud VMs. It runs in your AWS or Azure account, nothing else required.
No need to mess around with containers, SSH into remote machines, copy code across, set up images or look up instance types that sound like Starbucks orders ("t3.venti.oatmilk.latte") and what they cost.
All with the same experience as you'd have running on your laptop - just change the code or dependencies locally and run - meadowrun takes care of the rest.
We welcome any and all feedback!
Any plans to implement Fargate as an option? You mention the limitations of Lambda and Fargate pretty much takes care of all of those, without needing to provision EC2.
It was astonishing how quickly we reached a state of "bored adrenaline". By the second day, we were preparing our breakfast and not even looking outside when we heard (real) gunfire or airsoft pellets striking our shack. I remember sitting down, very tired and bored, thinking about nothing, but my hands still trembling from the adrenaline.
The ways that I naturally felt like moving (I think I'll lean on the wall of this shack for a while and watch the street, I think I'll lean against the wall and keep a hand on my gun) I eventually realized were the same poses I've seen civilians take in pictures of war zones.
Love runnable documentation. We don't have enough of it.
Immediately after signing in, I get an email from you. Serious uncool and an instant "nope" from me after that.
