I'm an IATSE member (Editor's Guild) and yeah, I think "high skilled workers asking for reasonable compensation parity from streaming platforms forced to use foodbanks for the audacity" definitely fits the spirit of that sub.

I'm not whining about the solidarity. I'm whining about the greedy Studio execs that made this necessary.

Is there a fediverse version of /r/OrphanCrushing Machine? Because this fits the theme

Counterpoint: If I was one of the people in charge of keeping it secret and Trump got elected... I would just "forget" to ever schedule that briefing.

It's worth pointing out that reproducible builds aren't always guaranteed if software developers aren't specifically programming with them in mind.

imagine a program that inserts randomness during compile time for seeds. Reach build would generate a different seed even from the same source code, and would fail being diffed against the actual release.

Or maybe the developer inserts information about the build environment for debugging such as the build time and exact OS version. This would cause verification builds to differ.

Rust (the programing language) has had a long history of working towards reproducible builds for software written in the language, for instance.

It's one of those things that sounds straightforward and then pesky reality comes and fucks up your year.

Even sadder, tbh

Non-competes aren't enforceable in California.

It's almost like that was only one metric she gave in the context of other metrics...

Stack Overflow score may not directly correlate to skill, but it does show that she spends time engaging with other programmers and thinking about programming questions, which helps paint a picture in the context of her other qualifications.

The comment was about strategy, not objective.

IMO, it's always better to try. Worst case scenario is that nothing changes, so no worse than if you didn't. The only sane choice in that kind of situation is to pick the one with a chance for improvement.

In my experience, giving a shit about what you're doing has a bunch of positing knock-on affects as well. You just end up feeling better about yourself. In your specific scenario it sounds like trying would also afford you the opportunity to live a happier life, and that's worth chasing. The world is fucked, but scientists keep saying they if we act soon it's not so fucked they we're past the inflection point to un-fuck it.

Did it? Can I skip whatever the bad Seasons were and have it still make sense. Picard was always my favorite captain so I was super bummed when I heard the show was super jaded / gritty / bad.

Strange New Worlds had been pretty consistent. I don't mind the occasional flub, it's better to go out on a limb occasionally than play it totally safe.
