Everyone I talked to knew that this was what was going to happen when Broadcom bought VMware. I work in a relatively agile industry so everyone starting moving away from VMware as soon as the sale was announced. But I know a lot industries will be stuck for awhile.

Asimov was rarely faithful to his own work. He frequently wrote sequels where it seemed like he hadn’t even read the previous book he wrote decades ago.

The show isn’t been faithful to the book, but it’s been good and parts of it are better than the books while other parts are obviously worse.

Also, why wouldn’t the board fire him for saying that he isn’t going to to his job?

Yeah. That’s exactly what a cruise missile is and has been for decades.

Did you read the rest of the article? It talks about how she talked with others in the company about this, someone above her took it very personally as suggesting he was racist, and her prompt firing. It also highlights how bungie was exposed for both racial and gender bias by reporting just a few months before she was hired, indicating that these exposed problems likely still existed.

Yes. Her superiors disagreed that the supervisor needed diversity training just because that one person who received a bad review said he was being racially targeted. The article doesn’t say that she made any attempt to talk to that Black employee’s immediately coworkers. She just talked to him and decided the supervisor needed diversity training. So it’s not surprising that her supervisors reacted critically.

I don't mean any harm when I say this, but why would you jump to the defense of a company in the first place, dismissing claims of racism or other forms of bigotry? The world is incredibly biased, and regular large-scale studies on company culture (and social culture) reveal widespread bigotry in our world. Simply assuming the status quo absent enough evidence on either side to clearly paint a picture is more often than not correct. What purpose does trying to discredit her accomplish here? How do you think it makes black people feel to see the only reply in a thread is an attempt at discrediting her?

I’m not siding with the company. I’m siding with the employee who was treated like a racist because one person who may have been underperforming said he was without any further investigation. That’s ridiculous.

PHP has been “not bad” for a decade. The problem is that it isn’t good and I can’t think of a reason to choose it for a new project when there are so many better, established languages.

The majority of the people that feel that way do so because they’re consistently lied to about climate change by the elite who actually don’t care.

Agreed. We know she did it on purpose and is a dangerous person in general, not just a careless or even reckless driver. She needs to be in prison to keep us safe. Shes different than someone who is merely a bad driver, or even a reckless driver who just needs to be kept out of a car to keep everyone around them safe.

Having worked a summer job as a clean room protocol inspector during construction of a clean room I saw that the vast majority of construction workers there didn’t give two shits about violating even the most important protocols and would I regularly be threatened with violence for enforcing them. The various contracting companies didn’t care enough to fire them.

American construction workers definitely have the skills, but they would have to work to find ones that are more disciplined than the ones I worked with.

Padme: so we can go back to working from home now, right?

[-] pulaskiwasright@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Sleep, water, better eye glasses. And maybe coffee, but only if you already regularly drink it.

You always have a decision. Especially when you’re a highly qualified engineer that could choose to work somewhere else easily.
