  Why does he have so much space? Stupid bastard has overcapitalised.

  My first place when I moved out of home was a room where I had a couch, a single bed and a coffee table doe my computer.

  Clean clothes at one end. Dirty in a garbage bag. Small passage between couch and bed to move back and forth to the door.

  Leaves more money for acid, MDMA and nitrous.

  Maybe leave the nitrous out of it OP. Being a nitrous fiend is bad.

  Oh yeah, absolutely agree. But I was utterly maliciously compliant in getting my guys their pay increases and bonuses.

  I replied in this thread to another person raising a similar concern. Check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨he forgor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, but this is kinda separate: This is literally what labour unions are for?

  I would love it if unions entered my workplace but we’re far to complex and technical. Not to mention in my industry we go through a good 2-3 restructures a year (yeah I know it’s bat shit insane)

  In lieu of a union I made it my personal aim to get all my under paid employee bumped to much higher pays. Which was a problem because my team generally only took on existing employees who showed aptitude for technical and complex stuff.

  In returned they got a detailed and complex training on everything from sql, to parsecing very large amounts of data, to building complex mappings and results.

  Under older management they were often left on their previous pay. I found that really fucking disgusting so I made sure to build a rating system that fairly rated them but made sure that rated/scored/reviewed work automatically ended up on their end of year statement. It was all built using MS stuff. It was cool. I could go in, score their work, it graded them, weighed for complex vs simplex (and different roles) generating a single score. I could do it all year around so if something flag I could easily raise it in our catch ups. I had 3 teams across the entire country (I did a lot of travelling so I could meet my guys and hang, coffee, beers, lunch etc)

  It basically meant that everything was documented and very fucking detailed, and because they were meeting the straight forward no sneaky lawyer trick KPIs it meant they were able to smash it.

  So at EOY where we did peer review the other managers tried to shoot down my ratings for my guys (which gave them 10% bumps and hit their STI (approx $2-4k bonus) however kept coming up against the documentation.

  It should be the number one goal for any manager to make it realistic and possible for their guys to get their bonus and pay raises.

  Coz a happy team is a good fucking team. As a direct result of this effort we solved over 99% of all the work on our ledger by EOY.

  If anything we were a little too successful. But that’s story for another day.

  Fun fact: I had a career in which I was in charge of hiring other people to fill the expanding roles in my department, and was tasked with hiring ‘more of myself’, but I was not allowed to even consider people with my own qualifications.

  I had a similar problem. Writing JDs for new roles I had to fill I was constantly getting them knocked back by HR.

  Finally HR called me and explained that for what the job entitled we couldn’t possibly pay the market price for it.

  I was like but that’s the job. Shit I thought I had made the JDs pretty succinct and austere already.

  Nup apparently we’d be paying upward for $100k for a job the guys in team were only getting $60k.

  As you can imagine we got a lot of applications but 90% weren’t even close to what we needed.

  I was mostly self-taught, and was only allowed to consider people with at least a bachelor’s degree in a field that didn’t even really exist yet.

  Same.

  I personally don’t like hiring uni graduates. Their utterly lost and difficult to motivate. And almost always what they learned in university does not help whatsoever in the role. Especially dev roles.

  I’d much rather find people who can look at the work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fck it, we ball⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: woodlice are terrestrial isopods, meaning they share a class (Malacostraca, the second-largest crustacean class after Insecta) with the decapods like crabs, shrimp, etc. Orders Isopoda and Decapoda are far away within the class, but they’re still in there!

  So are you saying we can eat woodlice like we eat crabs?

  Shit by the criteria of the Dino conference people hawking would be banned from there conferences forever simply due to his association with Epstein.

  Ultimately Hawking spent a lot of time with Epstein, on the island.

  He wasn’t a saint either. He had his own flaws and had left his wife for one of his nurses (literally learnt that from a Epstein email) in 1994-95.

  Notwithstanding the huge amount of material being held by the DoJ we really don’t know who is guilty, or what they knew. Shit Clinton was attacked for being on the island and apparently being aware of a multi person rape on one of the women (that even the victim admitted he wasn’t party to).

  How you could be on this island, with so many young girls and women and powerful men and not put 2 and 2 together is quite a big claim to make.

  Back in the ole days network computing made sense simply because of availability.

  If you worked from home it makes no sense to not buy your own hardware. Although at today’s insanely inflated prices it’s not making much sense.

  I guess thats why gastro restaurants that are using wild cooking techniques to come up with new dishes and flavours combos.

  Foam?

  But dishes most people cook in their own home have legacies reaching far beyond time.

  Take the Pavlova. Legend has it that it came from the long long ago, in the mist of times of Australia, long before any NZ bastard tried to steal it from us.

  He could go back in time and give his caretaker a note to give to him a week before they met that said “And STAY AWAY from that Epstein… He’s a bad egg!”.

  Or hawking is a piece of shit who was full well aware of what was going on, partook and thus has expanded no effort to go back in time to stop himself from hanging out with child raping scumbags.

  I’m so bitterly disappointed with so many people. Especially Hawking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rage for the machine?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fairly well-known historical fact that fascists don’t understand art.

  I used to think that as well but when I discovered Dali absolutely fucked up and convoluted political views, well I don’t know anymore.

  Fucker refused to denounce the fascists. Sucked up to Franco and the king.

  Then again if anything it shows that conservatism is a mind virus and could infect anyone, especially as you get old. You have to be on guard, especially if you suffer surgery, a illness, stroke or cardiovascular disease.

  I have to admit the older I get the easier it is to succumb to lazing thinking, presumptions, prejudice, especially when you’re presented with limited information. You have to be actively reminding yourself to apply critical analysis, understand the subtext, thibm about what their not showing.

  I don’t forgive older people who are racist cunts. But I can see how easy it is to fall into that way of thinking.

  Protect your old people. Block fascist and racist channels on their YouTube and other social media when you’re asked to fix something. To into their email and block the domains of known racists.

  Clear, clean, their environment of the fuckers and back them up, pull them into a better politics.

  Also spinning up a new fab, even for RAM will take several years and major investment (billions).

  Ideally they should have begun planning back in 2022-2023 when LLMS first came to market.

  They’ve missed a huge opportunity to profit.
