The state Legislature passed a law Tuesday requiring all employers in the state to post salary ranges for open positions. It also would require companies with more than 100 employees to report pay scales by gender, race and ethnicity, data that California would then make public. "Get a good job with more pay and you're okay"

Why is it so difficult to just pay for good results, without mattering about all that crap?

Because politics and social disruption.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Because the social justice warriors in California are looking for another source of "outrage".

Consider this - if women are only getting paid 70 cents for every dollar a man gets paid, why are companies not hiring only women?
I also see this law as not accounting for tenure - people tend to get paid more as they gain experience and time in a position, so the lower paid staff in a company may simply not have been there as long.

The DeepMind team created an AI system that can learn how to do things inside of a physics simulator by watching videos of other agents performing those tasks. Has it learned how to take a dive for a foul yet?
And of course, that's "soccer", not the other one(s).
Worth it for the videos of the AI trying to learn how to run

It is a good idea to teach AI to cheat in this early stage?

Next step... to teach it how to play black ops, counter strike and so on...
Following step... looking for a good shelter before it rebeals.

Turns out it’s pretty damn easy to spam the entire Air Force using just one email address. Fortunately, no missiles were launched via email
I wonder if that email alias is exposed externally?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Mason McLead, chief technology officer of Software.com, knows what it’s like to have a development team revolt against monitoring software. Because there's no 'i' in 'Code Faster!"

I’ll talk about things that didn’t make sense to me when I started, and now they’re the guiding stars in my sky. "Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?"

This morning, many people worldwide experienced Microsoft Defender warning them of a recurring virus threat. It's a false positive, and your computer is OK. Because, as we know Microsoft software is never attacked by malware
|
|
|
|
|
Reading the article, it detected Chromium based applications as malware. This would be nearly 100% correct - those who hate Edge will agree. Those who hate Chrome will agree. Very few of us like both.
As an aside, the current ClamWin AV engines detect OneDrive setup and update programs as a virus.

It is a well-established fact in software delivery that the earlier in the life cycle you can find and fix an issue, the less costly it is to remediate. Assuming the estimate of cost isn't based on bad data

Similar to what someone else said...
Do you think a good dev is expensive? Wait until you hire a bad one.

The Internal Revenue Service has accidentally leaked confidential information for approximately 120,000 taxpayers who filed a form 990-T as part of their tax returns. Good news for people that don't pay their taxes

Questions to ask a prospective employer during a job interview Somehow, "Is the snack machine free?" didn't make the cut
Posted mostly for the expected (hopefully amusing) reactions, especially from those not working at web-centric places.

An excellent article that focuses on determining whether an employer has processes that destroy productivity and morale.
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed. I saved it as a PDF to my Business and Work related folder for my next job interview cycle.

|

They're going to be shell-shocked when you hit them with these questions.
And this post[^] will help you decide when it's time to leave your current job!
