I’m in the situation you’re talking about right now. There’s an upcoming restructuring and on paper, I’ve been able to reposition my teams so there’s no job elimination and I’ve found homes for everyone. I’m actually excited about the plan. But I’ve been around the block enough to know that my plan on paper might not be accepted, and that this is just phase one. The funding to contract externally needs to come from somewhere. Laying off entire teams might be what causes me to finally put my own job on the chopping block to save a few others. I could go back to being a staff dev and it’s potentially not even much of a pay cut. But damn do I love everything else about my job, but mental load of these decisions, even when I know they’re the best ones I could make, is a lot.

Webster@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Economists say the GOP budget would destroy Medicaid and "disproportionately benefit the 1%"1·4 months agoDon’t worry, many people in those situations will blame Obamacare when they get the bill (Edit: \s on the don’t worry. Do worry, because this will absolutely happen)
This exact mechanic is present in the Mistborn book series. I don’t want to give spoilers because I recommend the books so highly, but I love the hard science nature of the way the magic system interacts with physics.
Here’s the thing … if there aren’t buyers enough to maintain the price, the paper value isn’t correct. This is an artifical scarcity, and this bill would be a bail out to the rich and leave the US taxpayers holding the bag when the market crashes. The US taxpayers would then own all this bitcoin with no way to sell without crashing the market so it’s just a direct transfer of wealth to the current holders.
Is there any chance the buzzing is actually from what you have the PSU plugged into? I think ive had a surge protector that have a buzzing without anything drawing power that went away once something was consuming power.
Webster@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I wrote a web front end for downloading Youtube videos, and i'd love some feedbackEnglish30·10 months agoIn this particular case, OP said none of the others met their needs. I would like to know what new functionality this one has to know if it’s something I’m interested in or not. It’s not a critique - it’s helping me understand if I want to check it out or not.
The insurance is based on the cost to rebuild the home, which has also drastically gone up, so it makes sense that it has risen too
Webster@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Harris is endorsed by border mayors in swing-state Arizona as she faces GOP criticism on immigration10·11 months agoI appreciate your original question and tact through these follow ups. I’m also having trouble finding primary sources in my quick search.
It’s so hard to figure out this stuff … but as a guy into computers who was debating going into academia instead of the field, this is what I did …
I took the money, but lived like I had only the academic salary and invested the rest. 15 years in, life is pretty cushy, I’ve found a relaxing niche in my field that I like my job, but it’s basically optional as long as I stay willing to live like an academic. But there were definitely some pains to get here. I might quit and go back, I might quit and travel, or quit and do a start up, but I like my job a lot now so I’m keeping at it.
Webster@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•Why are neurotypicals in charge of making up the social rules? They're not even very good at it.English10·1 year agoCommunication is a two way street. It’s both about the message the sender is trying to convey, but also the way the receiver interprets it. As a (mostly) neurotypical thinker, this is even hard for many of us to get right.
An example for clarity is the response your getting in the comments to your friends comments. Various people are disagreeing and agreeing to different levels. Conversation is navigating the complicated dynamics to as the sender, sending your message in a way the receiver will get the impression you are trying to give, and as a receiver, trying to understand the intent of the message the sender is trying to show.
There aren’t many hard or fast rules. In different online communities, different styles and patterns can conotate different things. There are patterns and styles I use here on Lemmy for example, I would never use in a sports online community because they would be interpreted differently there.
My advice is don’t beat yourself up about it. If you’re not getting the type of interactions you’re expecting in a particular community, that might be the time to ask for feedback or see if your communication style is different than the local group there. But the ephemeral nature of these online conversations make it the perfect place to experiment and find a communication style that works for you and gets the response from others you are looking for.
You’re basically describing an allergic reaction.
Webster@lemmy.worldto Sync for Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can banner we get banner ads adjusted?English3·1 year agoIts too jarring in the middle for users of Dark Mode. I’ve used your app and paid for premium on reddit. I haven’t here because the price to value isn’t there compared to other options at its current price point. I’ve been using your lemmy app since it released but this ad change had me immediately switch.
Webster@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?4·2 years agoJust got a steam deck and love it. I also got the official dock and can’t believe how bad it is. I have to unplug it and my TV half the time to get the dock to connect correctly. It works fine for a few days, then stops. I’ve had picture issues and audio issues and even issues with the deck right after disconnecting it.
It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected
Webster@lemmy.worldto Game Development@programming.dev•Unity Price Change Fallout Keeps Getting Worse6·2 years agoI did not fully watch the video, but skimmed it and it basically doesn’t add any additional info beyond what’s in the article. It seemed to just say the same things with more words.
I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn’t exist, I’d be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I’ll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I’ll use the app.
Sync and Connect are the two apps I’ve used and both have the capability of doing this. Let me know if you need help finding the settings.
Honestly the steamdeck shows we are getting close. It works like that, just in a slightly bigger form factor and without some of the phone hardware.
A little more tech advancement and I think this won’t be that hard to do.
