my partner is wrapping up a degree remotely and the local library is able to proctor his exams, including receiving the exam from the university and then scanning and emailing back the result, for free

OSI are unwilling to move beyond their 90s view of software so it's better to just ignore them. also there are hilariously bad licenses that are "OSI approved" so it's pretty meaningless at this point i've been personally licensing hobby projects with the hippocratic license and if someone wants something thats easier to exploit then they can pay me for my time

we were on a plan like that and after i did the math over 9 months of usage it ended up costing $10-50 more per month than if we had just used a regular flat rate plan over the same interval i think the main reason is that they tacked on another few cents of margin for themselves onto the market kwh rate so you really had to only be taking showers at 2am or whatever to come out ahead. maybe it'd be easier to cone out ahead if the margin was fixed per-day or something lol i just checked the spot price and its 44cNZ/kwh at 10am on a mild summer day, meanwhile our fixed rate is around 28cNZ/kwh iirc but with some discounts on top of that

mystes posted:I think slashdot was a bit different because during its peak people weren't getting figgies and optimistic about even bigger figgies so they were more about open source and hating their job and less about passive income rent seeking and cryptocurrency grifts. yeah i was mostly thinking of its long community decline over a few years where the sane or interesting people were quietly but steadily falling off, leaving behind a bunch of loud libertarians with the effect accelerating and feeding on itself over time until there wasn't anything left

Maximo Roboto posted:behold, the main character of HN today hn_neverguess 5 hours ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Update on Hiring Plans Great, that's n = 1. For comparison, I would have never ever reached out to you again. And if I met you in the hallway at some other place, I would have made sure that everyone knows how I feel about you. Most people who worked at one FAANG also eventually work at one more during their careers. So if you screw over one FAANG, you'll have a hard time at 40% of FAANG. It doesn't stop there. God forbid you live in the Bay Area, and you and I perhaps cross paths at a party, Burning Man, or any other event. And for crying out loud, you better not be connected to me on Linkedin, because people will be reaching out for backchannel references for the rest of your career. The tricky thing about all this is that you'll never know. People will just magically stop responding, when you felt that things were going great. In my career of 20 years, I've probably been professionally disappointed in something like 4 or 5 people, and I can definitely think of 2 who have resurfaced in my life one way or another. Tech is a huge space when you're starting out. But as your career accelerates and you end up gaining more visibility, that same space becomes very small very quickly. I would not mess with my reputation, as a matter of principle, but also as a matter of prudence. ---8<--- in response to: dudul 6 hours ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Update on Hiring Plans I've declined an accepted offer 1 week before my start date. 6 months later the company reached out again to see if we could make it work this time. "Burning bridges" are very exaggerated.
