My brother and I came up with an interview process for help desk positions many years ago. It was sort of an open-book exam. He set up a computer and a network printer. I believe he purposely misconfigured something with the networking of the network printer, possibly one other issue too.
They had 1 hour, utilizing any resource on the internet they wanted, to correctly configure the network printer. If they completed it, great, if not, he'd go through and see what their troubleshooting process was, what they researched, etc.
This type of interview worked really well for hiring help desk staff, but obviously hiring a software engineer and evaluating them is much more difficult.
I think so. It's my belief that they often times leadership sees software engineers as cogs that can easily be replaced by another. They don't appreciate the years of institutional knowledge that experienced engineers have, vast productivity differences between workers, etc.
You're underestimating how connected the world economies and supply chains are. You seem to be huffing some serious copium if you're sure your daughter will be fine.
"In the Wall Street Journal story in May, the Petersons said they bought the home in 2007 for $16.65 million, invested $10 million in renovations and decided to sell it because their teenage children are in boarding school and they have another property in the city, as well as homes in Aspen, Colo., and Indiana."
I imagine their "financial situation" has left them completely out of touch with the common person.
Sorry that you're suffering this way. It's infuriating to me that people downplay Covid infections when the risk of suffering from long Covid effects is very real.
Unions have these things that you might of heard of... elections, where you can elect your leadership. How much democracy is for employees in a corporation?
There is no shortage of people or children on the planet. Having children -- if you live a western lifestyle -- is the most destructive thing a person can do, in regard to carbon emissions and damage to the earth. What about your duty to protect the Earth, that God gave you? Why not adopt? There is a shortage of children that need parents. Wouldn't God prefer that you do that?
They'll rationalize their behavior, just like most of us do. "All the other companies are already doing it", "No one cares about privacy", "It's not my decision", "We need this data to help the customers".
There is no solution. The industrialized nations used the externality of carbon emissions to build their current status. These nations are unwilling to subsidize and compensate developing nations so that they can develop while using clean energy.
Politicians can't tell their constituents the truth -- that their lifestyles are destroying the planet and are unsustainable. They'll be replaced be politicians that tell voters what they want to hear or scapegoat others.
It's not exactly fair for industrialized nations to have taken advantage of the externality of their historic carbon emissions, but then prevent developing nations from doing the same.
The ethical solution would be for industrialized nations to subsidize the development and decarbonization of developing nations.
Do you have any plans to distribute a flatpak version? Especially for single person projects, it can save time on packaging and testing.
