Not allowed to work from home
  • To where?

    Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

    I'm fine, it's not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.

  • Not allowed to work from home
  • My dude, that's exactly what I'm talking about. That's me in fact.

    Even if I had a contract it wouldn't matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

    Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

    Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

    That's the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

  • Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
  • Bullshit.

    Hell they are in the same time zone, it's just a straight shot down i75. What's this opposite side of the country crap?

    They are different, but a swing that big to the left in Florida is almost impossible without a national swing of serious size, thus Michigan which leans left already would be in the bag.

  • Ideology gap increase between young men and women in various countries.
  • Unfortunately it's not a bait and switch, there real issues in how we're failing boys and men are surely contributing to this concerning trend.

    Especially when we blame the victims.

    These "True Men" ass holes are simply swooping in to prey on the young men who've been left behind, like any cult leader would.

  • Texas reaches over 18 million registered voters, the highest it's ever been
  • It really is also a states rights thing. The federal government, by design, has no say in how elections or driver's licenses work.

    That they have stepped in to the driver's license space is an overstep of their authority, honestly.

    The federal government is not the sovereign entity, the many states are.

  • How the seasons work in the UK
  • I'm a Michigander and I'm laughing at the Britt's complaining about cold and hot. Come to the upper Midwest for a few years and you'll realize just how temperate that little island really is.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

    I'm talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

    There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example... Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it's untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

    In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs... They don't get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • "IT people" here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

    It's been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

    Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

  • Majority of voters say threat of political violence will increase if Trump is elected
  • There will be political violence no matter what the election outcome. If he wins it will be post inauguration. If he loses it will be to try and take power.

    There has already been too much political violence this election cycle with two assassination attempts.

    Until Trump and his MAGA party are put in their place, either by rule of law or the impact of that violence, we will have violence.
