It's completely true, and I AM ashamed for doing it. But it's a terrible time to be a PaaS founder, since there are very few new projects being started at the moment. Without exaggeration, I think there are somewhere between 10% and 20% of new projects being started (which is the only point people will actually choose to use our platform) compared to 2022. Hard times, lower standards. Sorry. We've got ~40 website visitors from that comment so far, and I can't pass on that.
- Situation on the SWE hiring market. It's way harder to find a job.
- I personally know people from SW dev agencies that are all saying its very hard to find an opportunity (project) to work on.
- In fact, I'm 99% convinced that we're in a recession, even though its not official. Companies are cutting costs left and right. And think about it this way. When a company invests in a software, it's an investment for them, which will eventually pay for itself in a few years. But if the company is struggling to just stay alive, investments are the first thing they cut.
I don't think we'll ever see another startup raise so much funding every time they sneeze or wag a finger. It's getting ludicrous, really. $40B at a $300B valuation?
Did Dagger pivot their product ? I seem to recall the main selling point was an Independent pipeline-as-code service. Looks like they’re trying to rebuild Docker now?
It's the same product. Dagger Shell is a new client for the same Dagger Engine and its API. It allows you to do more from the command-line, before you have to switch to code. But the SDKs and "pipeline as code" are still there, unchanged.
This whole debacle scares me.
It’s almost impossible to figure out the official reason she was flagged by the first border officer.
She had a prior denial for a work visa. Then flew into San Diego to apply the second time and got it.
Apparently, she should’ve applied via her consulate instead because of the prior denial ?
Can someone explain in non legal terms why this resulted in a visa revocation and detention?
Very likely, that as a Canadian, you can enter the US without a visa as long as you do not work. You need a TN visa+status to work. So probably entered US on passport (no visa status) and then applied for TN... during which things went poorly.
I’ve never heard of Malibal before this and now I’m sorely tempted to do some sort of business with them in order to get the entirety of my state banned too. The vendor obviously has an ego eight sizes larger than their market capacity.
This was such a fun late night read and kudos to the tuber for placing italy at risk as well. It was totally worth it.
Yup. I have spent enough time on the internet to instantly start thinking about how to get Sweden (or why not all Nordic countries?) banned.
The guy seems pretty tragic though. It seems like all problems are someone else's fault, while what is really missing is a healthy self image. I feel sorry for everyone he/she meets, but also for him/her. I think every sane person eventually has an "oh wait. It's me!" moment. While tough, they make you a better person.
Ha I'm surprised no one mentioned one of the most common name maltreatment complaints. The Gaelic patronymic prefix Mc/Mac.
When treating Mc/Mac names, the first letter after the prefix is always capitalised.. e.g McDonald's, McCarthy, McCain, McCoy, McConnell etc but you're more likely to see mcdonalds, mccoy, mcconnell.
Orthographic case preservation reports were like the biggest complaints that no one was interested in fixing during a short stint in the airline industry.
My surname is Macdonald—some ancestor generations ago decided to use the lowercase d. When I lived in the US it took considerable coaching to get humans not to write McDonald, and some just couldn't get it.
I then moved to Scotland, where exactly zero people have defaulted to Mc instead of Mac. However, the computer systems of both the NHS and the University of Edinburgh apparently don't store the case of strings and reconstruct the capitalization after the fact. Both systems list me as MacDonald and there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm relatively okay with this—before computers McDonald, MacDonald, Macdonald, and M'Donald were all functionally equivalent. But now I do worry about the implications of having official documents with variant spellings
You're doing the exact same thing he is addressing in that statement above. He's not belittling anyone's rage, he's speaking about people who incite others to feel the rage with them. Now let's turn your question around.
Has it occurred to you that the people who feel rage fundamentally misunderstand the situation and are completely undereducated in this area, and are only fuelled by sensationalism and Media manipulation? And then I suggest you go read Dirty Politics by Kathleen Hall Jamieson if you're interested, because that's what people who want to sound more intelligent than the other half of the conversation always do.
