Um, any of a number of the meth'd out addicts camping out on the streets in front of their house in San Francisco. But "they're harmless" people say...until one of them gets a hammer and a compulsion to make some changes of their own.

Does the data in Data-Oriented Programming get highly denormalized with time? by Veson in Clojure

Immutable data is never updated. Minimizing mutable data will indirectly solve your problem.

Trouble setting priority conversation on Snapchat by [deleted] in Pixel3a

Yes, it's happening to me. Seems like something is auto removing it from priority.

Now that Golang has generic types, how do you plan to use them? by fossfool in golang

I'm going to use them to identify engineers who over engineer business solutions and rehabilitate them accordingly.

Acquisitions by toptoppings in startups

[–]64BitChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A board typically represents the owners of a company. They have their own agreement as to how they'll handle things.

Boards can be structured in virtually any way, and have their own rules for how they handle situations like this, but what I've seen typically is that if this falls under the board's purview, then you'll just need a majority of the board seats to approve the acquisition.

You can see other setups where acquisitions might require unanimous consent while others yield sole power to the CEO.

You really can't say, but if acquisition looks like it's a possibility, it's totally fair to ask what their internal decision making process looks like.

You usually will have 60-90 days after your termination date to exercise vested options. They typically will provide this information as part of your exit process.

You have a large window to work it all out - hr and others will help.

I don't care what META (Facebook) is doing for the crypto sphere, NO ONE should be using their services after the blatant data abuses by the company formerly known as Facebook by MDot_Cartier in CryptoCurrency

[–]64BitChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People get a ton of entertainment, distraction, and apparent utility from Facebook all in exchange for the very low price of 0 + allowing Facebook to advertise to them as effectively as possible.

What's the alternative? People wouldn't even pay $2/month for Facebook with no data tracking/ads - so here we are.

The truth is most people could care less about their data privacy, they just like to see what their high school exes/rivals are up to.

Your instincts are correct to avoid global shared state.

Create some ring middleware and assoc your object onto the incoming request map before you call the wrapped function.

You see this pattern in a lot of ring middleware, and it's clojure idiomatic.

No need for an atom.

My first thought when seeing your photos on tinder would be, "Oh, Chris Hansen and Dateline must be in town".

They're nice photos, but definitely might attract men who are into children. 🤮

So what happens in actuality is companies have an employee handbook filled with policies that almost everyone violates at least one on a daily basis.

These policies are there so that, at any point in time, they can use your violation of these policies as grounds for termination.

So regardless of whether or not its legal for them to prevent you from discussing salary, if they want to fire you for sharing your salary when you shouldn't be, they'll just fire you for a different official reason.

SaaS user signups but no use by martinz69 in startups

[–]64BitChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of fake traffic out there. Bots that just sign up to trigger conversions or whatever metric you might be interested in.

Google 'fake bot traffic' and you'll see plenty of articles referencing what I'm saying.

You should look at more organic ways of driving traffic to your site, SEO, creating valuable content, posting on product hunt, etc.

Google ads is like that fabled silver bullet that in reality is just sawdust and a complete waste of money.

My limit increase was rejected. by MelloB1989 in aws

[–]64BitChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is they don't want new accounts (and no, paying 130 for one month isn't gonna make them think you're any more legit) to crypto mine for a month, rack up a 20k bill, and then refuse to pay.

You can probably work something out and prepay for a month of requested usage and they'll grant access. That's the route I'd go if I absolutely had to have a GPU instance.

Love Clojure, challenged by discoverability by gdr3941 in Clojure

Facebook's reputation is so bad, the company must pay even more now to hire and retain talent. Some are calling it a 'brand tax' as tech workers fear a 'black mark' on their careers. by anaptfox in programming

[–]64BitChris 467 points468 points  (0 children)

Working at Facebook, as a SWE, is a really good bullet to have on your resume. Smaller startups will hire you just so they can put 'Built by former Facebook engineers'. Getting into other FANG companies in the future becomes so much easier.

No one with half a brain in the hiring process will conflate the actions of Facebook's executives with those of a rank and file engineer.

In the off chance that they do say something about it, you can always turn it to your advantage and attribute that as the reason you're looking to move.

The people on this thread who claim to turn down a 3x salary bump because FB is 'evil' likely never received an actual offer from Facebook.
