And on the employment front, they’re doing very well! Continued very low unemployment.
Recession is becoming a reality and that equates to companies laying off their employees. Don't count your eggs before they hatch.

It's pretty well-known that the french sci-fi comic Metal Hurlant inspired Bladerunner.
Heavy Metal also inspired the 5th element

Before using a Mac I was told how glorious it was and a feat of engineering. Reality is that the Mac and associated products are not as perfect as Apple fans make it out to be. The window manager on Mac makes me want to scream. Navigating the file system in Finder is not intuitive and don't get me started on the Magic Mouse and it's charging port...
mistertester commented on Exit interviews are a trap jacobian.org/2022/apr/4/e... · Posted by u/_ttg
I am not afraid of doing an exit interview and putting everything on display, specially if leadership is toxic. It's important for HR to understand problems within the company so that they can be addressed.
I have done this with no issues arising from it even though I have referenced that same employer in my resume.
I have suffered from imposter syndrome in the past and it stemmed from a previous job where the leadership intended to make you feel useless and incompetent. I have overcome it recently and have more confidence in myself these days. I am not aware why people would use imposter syndrome as a way to brag but for myself I genuinely didn't feel comfortable about myself.

> I learned that Google Fi exclusively uses the T-Mobile network for iPhone customers, and activating a Google Fi SIM with an iPhone causes T-Mobile to lock the phone to the T-Mobile network (which is illegal, since the user hasn’t entered into any service agreement with T-Mobile).
Wow, carriers can just remotely lock an unlocked phone? How does this even work? Is this some kind of command that the SIM card sends the phone that the phone recognizes?
An unlocked mobile device cannot be locked to a carrier because the SIM lock mechanism is disabled, which basically tells me he got a phone that he thought was unlocked but was actually locked to T-Mobile.

There was a "C Unleashed" book, a massive tome of 1000+ pages written by many famous programmers, many of them who where quite active in comp.lang.c, like Richard Heathfield and CB Falconer, had quite insightful material in it.
Any one remember the heyday of comp.lang.c? I wonder what goes on in there now.
Yes, usenet was huge for me back in the early 90s when I had questions on C programming. I would ask them on comp.programming.c and had some of the best programmers providing guidance. Of course they were strict with questions/discussions being specific to ANSI C.
I did update it for IPv6, but that was several years ago.
So I'm not sure which update the OP is referring to.
Appreciate the kind words, though!
