If you gave me a coding assignment that would take a day to complete I just wouldn't do it and move on to the next company. I want to work for a company that respects my time and knows that my code is worth money. A couple hours is all I would ever do.
The truth is these companies are selling a commodity now and all anyone is going to care about is which one can give me a ride the fastest and cheapest. I have zero loyalty to Uber or Lyft. If there was another player in the market that gave me cheaper rides quicker I'd never use Uber or Lyft again.
It's not too hard, I adapted Ian Hill's Soda (which clearly was also used for a lot of the UI in this theme) to Solarized for the same reason here: https://github.com/jrolfs/sodarized. I'd be happy to answer any questions about doing so for base16.
What about if there was a hybrid solution where we all collectively issue certificates in some sort of p2p model. I know there are huge technical hurdles to that and you have to be careful of nefarious parties trying to inject bad certs but at least we would get rid of the monopoly.
I don't think it's just a woman's issue. I've struggled with this myself until recently when I got 3 out of the 4 jobs I applied to a couple weeks after getting laid off.
Yep. impostor syndrome never was associated with gender. She just picked the low hanging fruit.
Impostor syndrome applies to everyone who still lacks close friends in a particular social occasion. So it's very common on all steam folks since most have social anxiety, hence take a long time to make close friends.
Perhaps more attention should be given to the fact that men feel this way as well. Women are often told they don't fare as well because they are not as assertive or confident as men. Imposteritis then introduces feelings of guilt in women for not feeling confident like they are "supposed" to and the way they are told that men do. Whether men feel that way or not should perhaps be addressed more frequently.
I agree, and I think it's related to the Dunning Kruger effect. The more you know, the more you realize all the things which you don't know.
There's also a bit of a vicious feedback loop; often people are unwilling to admit that they don't know something because they don't want to appear weak. But until they admit it, they'll always be deficient in that subject.
I think the simple way would be to just ask for a raise to market levels or in lieu of more pay you would take additional privileges such as being able to set your own hours.
Or it could be rephrased - effectively he is only working a four day week spread over five days. If he is to work a full five day week he will 'need' 25% in more pay.
The chances are that if he does move to somewhere else he will have to do the full 8 hours a day but his pay will be commensurate with that. Again, this could be explained like that rather than 'you pay badly'.
So it may work if the manager 'sees' him as only hired for a four day week. He can then make the case for paying him for five days a week in order to achieve certain objectives, e.g. meet deadlines.
Which is why http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/ is so important. Texas needs some competition for it's top offices. Having a whole state run by one party is a terrible idea.
I still think this whole thing is to shame other internet providers who says this kind of service is impossible and there is no demand for it.
There is no way Google will be able to roll this out across the country. But if they roll it out to 10 or 20 cities then they might be able to force other internet providers into doing something.
I would say with out a doubt it'll go east of I-35. East Austin is an up and coming neighborhood. The Hipster demand there will be fierce plus it has a ton of lower income households still which will look good for the free internet (with installation fee) version of google fiber.
Additionally during SXSW a lot of the tech people stay over there. I think one of the reasons Austin was picked was to show off the speed during events like SXSW and Austin City Limits.
