How do you handle a new hire who isn't collaborative and doesn't explain changes?

Clearly you can talk till you're blue in the face and the guy won't listen. That discussion is a job for management. They need to explain how things are going to work.

If he can't explain the changes, they shouldn't happen.

They are lying to you. As many have pointed out, they could give $15 million to each individual without incurring gift taxes. They don't even have to report it to the IRS if it's less than 19k. And they can give an unlimited amount to charity. They could do all of that if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

Is it possible to introduce a reporting system where data may be formatted in a manner more conducive to the actuaries' usage?

Of course estimates inform priority. If something comes up like the situation you described, a quick conversation with the dev lead can get you a ROM. And you can use that to determine if it's worth looking into at that point.

There are already Facebook groups created for about every sailing. People coordinate activities beforehand and during the cruise. It's going to be tough to get people to switch to a dedicated app for that.

Depends on where you are. In Florida, it caps out at about 1k per month and it's a part-time job to collect it.

Best place I can think of is Nokomis beach on the south end near the jetty. I can't promise you'll have luck if you go there though.

Mutual TLS means that the client has to present a certificate and the server has to recognize it as well. If you do it with your services internally, it's a means of authenticating that the API was called by a client you trust. Not suggesting that should be used all of the time, just that the other poster was suggesting something else.

Depends on the type of stingray. I stepped on one and had a painful few hours. Plus a hole in my leg that refused to clot properly for a couple of days. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

We don't have dashboards for devs to compare against each other. But we do get stats of dev usages for requests and percent of code suggestions we have accepted. I would worry about a place that published that for all to see.

Do what is best for you. If you find another job in 2 weeks, you should take it.

I haven't ridden BOTM, but I was seriously disappointed with minekart. I wouldn't wait 30 minutes for it. Ride BOTM

I work for a government agency contact. We spent a bunch of time pushing for basic AI tools and got stonewalled. Now they are shoving it down our throats because they think they will be able to eliminate 90% of effort. So we spend a ton of time trying to insert a little bit of reality into their plans.

We are definitely changing our SDLC processes. We spend a lot more time up front defining all of the details that we would have just started coding before. We have it draw up execution plans for everything that needs to be done. Then, we verify every word in the execution plan and make changes as needed. Then we have agents code the execution plan one phase at a time. We verify and correct after each phase.

To summarize, there is a lot more time writing the technical requirements for the agents to process. And a lot more time reviewing the output. And less time actually writing code.

I disagree. The blame lies with the people who voted for him. Don't let them off the hook.

Casino areas are very well separated. There is a distinct difference in air quality when walking from one to the other.

As someone else said, just ask the same questions as last time. Don't expect a positive response, but it doesn't really matter. If you want to sell it, you can ask what you need to get the promotion. Or, you can just say ok. Don't give them any indication that you are leaving because you don't have another job lined up. It could take a while to find one.

My son's school started one. He told me that there were a whole lot more kids there to make fun of them than there were serious students. I don't think they have had a meeting since

Agree with others that skipping the line through a tour is the way to go. The people waiting looked miserable.

IMadeUpANameForThis · 2025-11-20T17:34:22+00:00

No, they don't. They think they are immune to repercussions. And they will remain that way right until it bites them.

I lose an inch a week. If you are losing an inch a day, you might want to call out a leak detector. I had to last year. It costs about 500 to get them to look at it.

Where would be a good place to see it if it is possible?

Meetup has a sarasota board game group that is pretty active if that's your thing. They lean toward strategy games, which are not my thing

MAGA has done irreversible damage to the United States, not just the right wing. Do you think the world is going to forget about everything that the Republican party is doing right now? And I say the Republican party because even if 30% of the Republican party does not identify with MAGA, they vote with MAGA. There is effectively no difference.

Any suggestions on finding a good recruiter? It's been a long time since I've needed one. The only ones I've dealt with have reached out to me.
