Google voice has been all but deprecated at this point. The form for buying credits has been broken for a year, and calls calls to my google voice number no longer get forwarded to my phone / google hangouts.


Mine still get forwarded just fine. I wonder what fresh hell porting my Google Voice number over to another carrier will be.


I definitely worry about this, I've had this phone number for almost 20 years now.


The problem with co-working spaces is that there are too many techies there. Sometimes they're fascinating and you want to engage with them, which destroys concentration (in a semi-welcome way), but more often-than not they're populated by self-involved extroverted tech-bros who won't shut up.

Home-office, cafes, parks and libraries have been my offices of choice as a remote worker for the past decade.


2038? Does this have to do with Epoch time ending somehow?


Yeah, coal-powered computers can only handle 32-bit integers ;)


In 2038, the coal company clocks roll back to 1901, when all was good in the world for them.


...to 1970...


No, it rolls over to 1901. time_t is a signed value, and 2038 is when it rolls over from 2³¹ - 1 to -2³¹. That would be 2 billion seconds before 1970, or 1901.


... which was a very great year for lignite mining: https://www.oeko.de/fileadmin/oekodoc/BET2017-Hermann-Oeko-I...


If our Unix forefathers had the foresight to make time_t unsigned, then we wouldn't have to worry about this problem until after 2100.


I would guess, when originally suggested, it was $current_year + 2 decades.


So essentially the republicans are trying to force (telephone pole) rent control onto cities ? Commies.


I recently began a new position at a company which has had a bit of turbulence in the past year. While getting up to speed someone said, "We had this other guy a while back who was great, but he ghosted us and we didn't realized it until we checked our AAA logs to see when he had last authenticated".

I wondered if it was an old colleague of mine with a 15+ year reputation for ghosting employers when he was burned out, so I asked, and of course it was.

I usually leave on good enough terms to have a conversation with my boss, but I ghosted an incredibly abusive employer once, and it felt pretty good.


Glassdoor does provide the ability to review the interview process itself which somewhat fits the bill.


Considering Israel is increasingly succeeding in making it illegal for Americans to protest them, I would answer your question with, "A minute ago?"


This is a very strange area to discuss. And given the grayed out text, you've already been downmodded.

I had this, err, debate on Reddit recently. I am against the actions Israel is taking against Palestine. I view it as an atrocity in its own right. (There, I said my part. Please hear the rest out.)

From that, I said I was against the actions of violence. However I was attacked and called an antisemite. And it wasn't one person. It was quite a few. Something is going on, in that criticizing bad actions makes me construed as some sort of a hater (read: racist, sexist, ageist, nationalist, etc).

Obviously this also has other broad implications. If I disagree with practices of X, means I somehow hate X, even if I don't. I also see that similar viewpoint bandied here at HN, primarily with the once-a-month article about women and tech (which devolves into flamewars and large swaths of comments being disconnected by dang).

What's going on here? It's certainly a phenomenon which I'm seeing accelerated. Is this the growing pains of having hypercommunication across the world? Is this the problem of having up-to-the-second news?


Watch "The Lobby" by The Electronic Intifada. It will shed a lot of light onto what you're describing.


Oh yeah, "Electronic Intifada", a truly quality journalistic source that totally wouldn't tell you the Jews control America or anything.

God fucking damnit I hate these conversations. No, we don't manipulate the bloody government! We're less than 2% of the population. You know who passes all those laws "outlying" criticism of Israel, none of which have stood up in court, ever? Evangelical Christian Republicans.

Not American Jews or Israeli exiles, who, again, mostly vote Democratic and make up an insignificantly small fraction of the total population.


You just described what it's like to work for all global arms contractors, not to mention Palantir.

With my logging setup right now (ELK + Fluentd) org-wide we have ~120 dashboards, and the overall setup costs us about $750 per month in resources. This would be a 700% increase for us. A 2x-3x increase would be worth it I think, but not that much.


This is also one of my complaints about Duolingo to be honest, in that they only give you information about the lessons you're doing if you navigate to a specific page before starting an exercise (on the web interface, I haven't used the mobile interface). Ui-bug for Ui-bug compatibility?
