  • Sad days

    Jump

  • In the mid 10s, I worked as the engineering director for a consultancy. My boss would openly brag about being able to hire women for a fraction of the cost of a man. I was so offended by this that I created a partnership with a coding academy for at-risk and underrepresented individuals just a few blocks away from our office. I made it my mission to hire as many women junior engineers as I could, just so that I could train them up and find them better paying jobs elsewhere.

    Women engineers are out there, and I hope I've made the dating pool just a little bigger for you.

  • The feeling of isolation is something that I have experienced throughout life. I can only attribute it to the norm that men should not talk about their woes, lest they be seen as weak.

    My upbringing was a bit different, as my brother and I never had male role models growing up and we were never encouraged to confirm to those norms.

    For me personally, the feeling of isolation occured and eventually compounded after the birth of our son. I did not cope well with the lack of sleep and the immediate loss of personal space and time. I felt like my feelings and experiences could never compare to what my wife was going through, and I had no right to complain. This led me to nearly a decade of depression, to the detriment of my wife and son both.

    What has helped me over time, is the acknowledgement that my feelings and experiences are valid, and I don't need to compare them to others.

  • Memory recall is the worst for me. Long-term or short-term, cognitive; all bad.

    • Did you remember to grab your laptop on your way to work? Nope.
    • Do you remember going to the movie theater, sitting in your seat, and watching the new animated Adams Family movie with your family? Nope.
    • Did you move that load of towels from the washer to the dryer four days ago? Nope.
    • Did you remember your wife's name after fifteen years of marriage when introducing her to your new coworkers? Nope.
    • Do you remember the word for that super simple thing? It's literally the opposite of down, and you should definitely not be stumbling on this word because we're on a conference call. Nope.

  • Some email services will let you append arbitrary strings to the end of your email address with a +. Whenever a sales associate asks for my email to sign up for discounts, I give them email+spam@provider.com. I love the looks I get for that.

  • How do ye find new music?

    Jump

  • I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I read Pitchfork reviews and check out the artits on Spotify. I do not limit my tastes to one genre, so that makes it more interesting when exploring. I'll also leverage the Related Artists section of an artist's page if I find a new artist that I like.

  • Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave

  • I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

    Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

    We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

  • It's a shame that they won't just release macOS as a standalone product, even if it requires specific hardware to run. I would pay for it in a heartbeat.

    I was actively into the Hackintosh scene in the early 10s. You could have an insanely powerful build (albeit the parts had to be compatible), and it would still be half the price of a lower end Mac Pro.
