My last employer also asked us to put up glassdoor reviews, but that was when they generally had a good image on the site and had received a few (honestly undeserved at the time) negative reviews.

As things changed for the worse, my colleagues and I watched their rating slowly decline over the course of a year and a half. The higher ups quickly stopped mentioning it. They... do not have a good image on glassdoor anymore.

Are you able to submit a new review? I didn't leave my own review until after I was laid off, so I haven't bothered to "update" mine.

Do not speak the deep magic to me, witch; I do not understand it.

Broadly, this is a simple version of the Strategy Pattern, which is incredibly useful for making flexible software.

In Python, the example given is basically the classic bodge attempt to emulate switch-case statements.

Total budget is quite high comparative to those numbers.

A SaaS startup I used to work for tried to implement on-call rotations for their salaried engineers. No additional compensation was offered for the time you were on-call, and if you did get called, the policy was going to be essentially "take the next day off" - when we already had unlimited PTO. I was not happy, and made it known at the time. My manager mentioned that, being in a senior role, I might have the opportunity to excuse myself from the rotations. Ew.

The effort didn't end up going anywhere, but that's been my sole experience so far with on-call efforts in software engineering.

I will forever wonder how these companies actively choose $0/mo over a cut of $XX/mo and everyone in the decision chain thinks it's the right decision.

For anyone wondering how this will "make high earners play by the same rules":

Seemingly not everyone will be stoked to see the IRS go totally paperless. The Treasury Department said that combining paperless processing with "an improved data platform" will make it easier for data scientists to extract and analyze data—potentially detecting tax evasion that the IRS has long overlooked due to a lack of resources.

"When combined with an improved data platform, digitization and data extraction will enable data scientists to implement advanced analytics and pattern recognition methods to pursue cases that can help address the tax gap, including wealthy individuals and large corporations using complex structures to evade taxes they owe," the Treasury Department said.

In April, the Treasury Department said that "improving enforcement among high-income and high-wealth individuals, complex partnerships, and large corporations that are not paying the taxes they owe" could end up flagging $160 billion owed but evaded annually.

"Due to a lack of resources and loss of top talent, audits of the wealthy and large corporations have plummeted over the last decade, and the amount of taxes evaded by the top 1 percent has exploded to $160 billion per year," the Treasury Department reported in April. "Audit rates for millionaires fell by 77 percent, audit rates for large corporations fell by 44 percent, and audit rates for partnerships fell by 80 percent between 2010 and 2017."

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that updating the IRS technology was crucial to reduce the tax gap and ensure that "high earners play by the same rules as working and middle-class families."

Anyone taking bets on Congress shutting this down?

It really only applies if success of the company is your primary concern.

I always thought it was supposed to reference market sentiment.

If your company is focused on X, but is also doing Y, and the market is really taking up with Y, you need to focus on keeping Y alive and well. Makes for a successful company to respect the market's wishes, and allows you to pursue X while Y is subsidizing it.

If you insist that X is the future, and put Y on the back burner to focus on X, well, the market will find a competitor who is doing Y better than you, and the market will abandon you.

Alas, as a couch setup, big picture mode is standard fare for me.

Honestly, I've been loathe to do the whole uninstall-reinstall dance with the various components, especially when my setup works fine for every other game in my library.

I play minecraft on a private server via steam on my htpc with an Xbox One controller. I have minecraft set up as a non-steam game in steam, steam configured with the controller. Minecraft is set up to use the fabric client with a number of client-side mods (the client itself tells me I have 87 or so mods, but that has to be client patches or something, as I only have a dozen or so mods installed). When it works, it's fantastic, but the problem is that it's very inconsistent.

When I open the game from steam, the controller works in the launcher as a rough approximation to a mouse and keyboard - exactly what I want. But when I launch the actual game, it's a complete toss up whether that configuration will carry over to the game window. More often than not, it won't, and sessions often begin with me opening and closing the game many times before the configuration will carry over and I can play.

I've tried turning on and off steam's "allow desktop configuration in launcher" option, which doesn't seem to have any effect. I've tried enabling and disabling the minecraft launcher's "keep launcher open when games are active" setting, which similarly seems to have no effect. Annoyingly, I've noticed that if I alt-tab back to the launcher after starting the game, the controller is still working for the launcher, just not in the game itself.

At this point, I've installed the Controllable mod and Glossi - this configuration "just works", and is perfectly consistent, but it's an imperfect substitute for the steam solution that I prefer. But I feel like I'm out of things to try for getting the steam solution to work consistently, or at least often enough to not frustrate me before I even get into the game!

Any thoughts as to why it behaves this way and other things to try are appreciated.
