Get a promotion

Easier said than done.

Source: I did penetration testing for four years, also served in a cyber position in the military. What a giant waste of my time that whole effort was.

But the money must've been really, really good.

Faster internet. A few bucks added to your monthly bill.

A few bucks? Yeah, right.

Normies don't know how to decode Base64.

The questions shouldn't focus on what he lets get printed

Bezos has no say in what can and can't be published.

Ah, yes. Because owning a news organization, one filled with people who can do investigations, presents numerous opportunities to avoid paying taxes.

spend time inside that WaPo newsroom that he loves.

Investing in journalism is actually a very good thing.

You're not the consumer here. You're not paying for anything.

But you are the PRODUCT.

Always remember that your freelance rate should be double your full time rate

Can you elaborate on this? I had always wondered what a baseline rate should be if one goes freelance.

You should reconsider. Facebook made more than $80 billion in revenue, a majority of it through ads.

it was against the subreddit rules to ask for help.

Yes, as it says in the /r/cpp sidebar. You needed to post your request for help in /r/cpp_questions/

I pay the guy $150/hr in 10 hour chunks

$1,500 seems....excessive.

It's 2021. Who isn't using an ad blocker?

What programming language(s) do you mostly use in your job?

What programming language(s) do you mostly use in your job?

Absolutely not.

Want to debate? Do it in person.

I am envisaging a platform that allows the community to structure and "type-check" (loosely) arguments.

No one should try to profit off political discourse.

Thanks for the implementation. How does Forgo handle state?

I don't want this to be about the fact that I am a minority in tech and the only one on the team. But, I am pretty sure it is

No, it's not.

Be an adult and demand that your manager provide a thorough explanation on why he is rewriting your code. If your code is shit, then make him tell you so you can improve.

Everyone is at risk.

What a lazy and unhelpful response.

Is there an iOS version?

Everyone thought it was funny as shit except for my boss.

What a petty child. But there must've been more that cause your termination.

Then allocate time for hobbies, even if it's for 30 minutes.

D3 is the best, free option. However, its documentation is atrocious, especially for new users. If you plan to learn, you'll rely on other resources. Luckily, there are numerous free tutorials and book available online.

Feels akin to fixing a security breach by firing the dev who introduced the vulnerability.

How big is the breach? If it's a minor incident, sure, keep the dev. However, if the dev introduced a breach that caused the company millions of dollars in damages and likely an outside investigation, then that dev will likely be fired for incompetence.

That seem ridiculous and unfair.

Not at all. That's how the media industry works: Factual errors are a cardinal sin.

The New York Times is the one of the most prestigious journalistic institutions in the world, one who touts its "Paper of Record" title with a reputation for thorough and accurate reporting.

Rukmini, Andy Mills, and their editors are expected to abide by those standards. With Caliphate, that went out the window. Not to mention the numerous red flags raised by other reporters and editors within The Times' Foreign team that pointed to questionable reporting and sourcing by to Rukmini.

Caliphate has collapsed under its weak reporting, forcing The Times to revoke and return several prestigious awards, including a Peabody and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, an embarrassing look for the paper. And, for that, heads should roll, from Rukmini and Mills to the editors overseeing the project.

However, this likely won't happen. Rukmini has already been reassigned to another section and will likely continue her work (in reality, The Times won't let go of one its "star" reporters, and Rukmini won't find a more lucrative gig at a news organization with as much prestige and resources than The Times). Mills, however, will likely be fired, and not because of Caliphate: There are reports of Mills' predatory behavior toward young, female journalists, and many of them are coming forward. The outcry will likely reach a fever pitch and likely lead to his resignation next year.

Rust is still too new. It isn't used at the scale of C, Python, Java, and C++. OP should consider learning it for future systems programming.

1) Apple Watch. I have been moving a lot more since I got my watch. I also check my phone less often now.

Yikes. That's more digital tracking when a simple, "dumb" watch can do the same thing, without harvesting your data.

"But...but... muh health data!"

Some watches have internal pedometers that don't constantly send your health information to a trillion-dollar company.

Is retracting enough?

No. They need to fire Rukmini. Just because she is considered a "superstar" in the newsroom doesn't mean she gets off the hook for embarrassing the company with a debunked project.
