You have less data than the company

What are you talking about? You have access to far more info on them than they do on you.

Go read the article

I have read it. I don’t think you get my point. I said ‘access to’. If you think about it, there is plenty of data freely available about the company in most job applications (often including actual salaries they pay their staff - literally the most pertinent data). Yes, employers will use whatever tools they can to guess at what you might accept. It’s a negotiation.

It is perfectly possible for both sides to approach a salary conversation as the negotiation that it clearly is. In reality, many job candidates barely think about negotiating the salary, but I doubt that’s due to not having enough data points. I think it’s probably more to do with not wanting to be perceived as ‘greedy’ or some other moral badness, and finding it more comfortable to let the recruiter/employer play them like a fiddle. Moral pride to spite their face. Sure, we can feel good in the moment by angrily pointing out that companies take various measures to maximise income and minimise expenditure, as if it’s surprising or ‘wrong’. But it might also be helpful to remember that we are in exactly the same situation. Then perhaps we can start negotiating better deals for ourselves, thus improving life for ourselves and our dependents.


Employers have plenty of leverage over workers already.

Every time a pro-worker bill passes, there's an endless scree of "But what about the corporations?". Wow it's tiring.


Easy to say that when you're not the blind person having their disability benefits threatened periodically

What happens to messages when the bouncer is disconnected?

This feels like it should have been mentioned in the article.

It makes me wonder if there was some LLM help, based on how similar the fn structure and identifier names are.


> It makes me wonder if there was some LLM help

I would bet there was

With an entire section complaining how many lines of code existing implementations are, looks like they did found a good simple implementation to clone in Rust then deliberately not mention it.


I don’t see much “for anybody”, but I do see a lot of “for students / people who browse the web / word processing” which is still a pretty large set of people, and the Neo handles those workloads just fine

Literally two comments above mine in this discussion:

> The Neo is probably the best laptop for typical people.

I rest my case.


"students / web browsing / word processing" == typical people, but maybe that's my own biases

This is an educational project. Not something for production. The article even says so!

You can leave the snide comments about “Rust culture” (whatever that is) out next time.


Using the war on drugs as an example as a successful social movement is kinda hilarious

People still generally think drugs are bad, don't they? And only the ones that were included in the war on drugs (not nicotine, alcohol, caffeine)? So it was a success.

> People still generally think drugs are bad, don't they?

No


> There were high levels of agreement that drugs are a problem in Irish society: 88% of respondents agreed that drug-related crime is a major problem in Ireland, and 87% agreed that the availability of illegal drugs poses a great threat to young people nowadays.

> Only 22 percent of respondents said they would be willing to work closely on a job with a person with drug addiction compared to 62 percent who said they would be willing to work with someone with mental illness.
