  • Neom: Forces 'told to kill’ to clear land for eco-city

    Jump

  • This is such a stupid project. You could fit the same size city in 6km x 6km and it'd be bigger than what they have planned. Much cheaper and easier as well, and no reason to kill anyone... Oh wait, I see the incentive.

  • As a gay man, most of my list doesn't have names. Why would I remember their names? Some I didn't even ask.

  • Foundation is super chill. I haven't played in a while, so no idea how it's changed in the last year, but when I last played, I had a lot of fun with it.

    Houses and roads are built by the villagers, while you place and customise key buildings. There's lots of flexibility in how some buildings are constructed, like pubs, monastery, and the lords manor house, with other buildings having upgrades later on you can add to them.

    Adding little details is also good fun, with random statues and other rewards popping up from time to time. Definitely recommended.

  • Broadcom has willingly dug its VMware hole, says cloud CEO

    Jump

  • I just left one of the UK's largest VMWare customers, in a team working directly on VSphere and ESXI products. The team was just starting to tool up for a new internal project to manage VMs within the company using some of the newer features in these tools. We had well over 1 million VMs across more than a dozen datacenters. The cost of running this is expected to go up by 30 times or more.

    While it's going to take some time, they're now looking at migrating to a different solution. So Broadcom are going to get their extra pay for a while, but not forever.

  • Hands up if you want to volunteer for layoffs, IBM tells staff

  • I'm 4 weeks away from my voluntary redundancy. I was planning on leaving the job this year anyway, as I wanted to move, so to get a nice paycheck with it was a definite bonus.

    Of the people that chose voluntary redundancy, it was mostly those without ties to the area, those that could move, young enough to re-skill, or old enough to retire. The ones that were forced into redundancy have families, mortgages, history in the area, enough baggage to cause inertia. Part of my reasoning to take the voluntary redundancy was to help save at least one person from that.

    So absolutely, consent matters. It just sucks that this is happening at all.

    The company's stated reasons for redundancy was to move skills to other locations in the country. This is after a year's long effort to co-locate in order to facilitate collaboration. What it really seems to be is that our location has very high staff retention, and therefore high salaries, and the company thinks it can hire younger and cheaper elsewhere. The skill and knowledge lost with this move is staggering, everyone can see that, but profit is the most important factor the company cares about, so it'll inflict its own wounds to get profit up. Capitalism is weird.
