I don't need that extra, I want a raise in that case
clear ferry
Yeah, I have a minimum of 8% bonus twice a year
deft pewter
What's the problem with performance-related bonuses anyway?
clear ferry
By contract
deft pewter
I don't want my crappy co-workers getting paid as much as me.
clear ferry
I can be your co-worker?
deft pewter
If I do better work, I should get better pay. It can take a while for annual increases to catch up with what a bonus could pay out immediately.
deft pewter
Sure, atx. You can go install nodes somewhere.
Meanwhile, I'll be deploying to AWS 😄
odd kindle
@deft pewter never said anything about co-workers getting paid as much as you
but then again I do want my co-workers to get ruffly the same pay as I have, they're great people
deft pewter
If everyone's taken on at the same starting salary and the annual increments are relatively small, it takes a long time before there's a discernable gap in salary between the best and the worst.
odd kindle
why would everyone be taken on at the same starting salary? No reason for that
deft pewter
Bonuses... you have immediate feedback. Someone does crap, they get nothing. Someone does great, they get 25%.
Why? Because the UK.
odd kindle
nor any reason for a small incremental raise. I've had ~10% raises
deft pewter
I seem to remember you being quite adamant that people shouldn't criticise that which they don't understand about another country.
Time to take your own advice 😉
odd kindle

deft pewter
I am.
odd kindle
I'm telling you how it works here and why I don't want bonuses
deft pewter
why would everyone be taken on at the same starting salary? No reason for that
Because the UK...
Countries are differently, oddly.
odd kindle
you were criticising me and what I did yesterday, but lets not bring that up again...
clear ferry
Yeah, we start at... Whatever the employer thinks we are worth
Had a colleague start 2 years after me, who started $25k above me
deft pewter
There's way less transparency in the UK when it comes to salary bands and negotiating initial salaries.
My wife was paid more than the starting band for her current role because she impressed them so much at interview... but there aren't many cases like that here.
clear ferry
Yeah, in Norway anyone can look up anyone else online, but it is logged and we get a notification, in Sweden I believe they can look up anyone in the library without tracking, unless that changed

Maybe I'm just not exposed to that side of things enough 🤷♂️ I've done my fair share of interviewing lately but never handle the offers themselves.
Until a few years ago, I was still in customer service land too... where it's a race to the bottom.
So glad to finally be in R&D now.

clever mortar
I've been involved in the recruiting process quite a bit, and for experienced hires it's pretty typical for folks to start somewhere in the band, rather than at the bottom
What's less common is if they've got "steps" for people not to start on a step, but that happens too
odd kindle
It’s not super common to have salary steps here and I stay away from those companies
forest edge
job hiring here is all over the place
deft pewter
I don't want to sound too critical of my employer, as they've looked after me pretty well... but they're so opaque about pay stuff that they don't even publish the pay bands anymore.
forest edge
the standard is that there is no standard
deft pewter
Think the last year they published them was 2015... 😢
That said, I know where I sit relative to those bands and I doubt they've been adjusted by much in 5 years.
clever mortar
Yeah, here the bands are semi-public - you can find them if you want, but they're not obvious. Previous employer they were published annually.
clear ferry
I work for an American company in Norway which contradicts, for muricans it is taboo to speak about pay it seems, while for Norwegians it is very open
deft pewter
They're going to have fun when they promote me and I can quote the next band up 😄
Yeah, atx... so many places treat it as taboo because it benefits the employer. You have less bargaining power if you can't ask why you're being paid less than others.
clever mortar
I know exactly how much a promotion would gain me, both in terms of money, and in terms of crap 😛
forest edge
it's a double edge sword
deft pewter
I always used to think it was just rude to ask others... it's more about the business.
clear ferry
It's the capitalist mindset
forest edge
openly speaking about pay in a company where pay is vastly all over the place causes tension

When I started I was honest about my pay, which put a few noses out of joint because some of my colleagues were paid less, at a higher grade 🤣
deft pewter
I know exactly how much a promotion would gain me, both in terms of money, and i...
Exactly. With some of the crap I see the seniors handling at the moment, I'm half tempted to stay at engineer level. They already pay me as much as most of the seniors, so there's no rush for a promotion in terms of salary... 🤷♂️
clear ferry
I probably earn 20% more or more than collegues who have 20 years longer experience than me tbh
clever mortar
Yeah, I'm moving slowly towards why not, particularly given some of the folks I've seen promoted...
I'm pretty sure I can't screw it up worse than them 🤣

some of that has to do with pay increase not keeping up with new wage standards
deft pewter
I'm pleased that I'm surrounded by good senior engineers that I'm still learning from. But for now, I'll let them handle all the live incidents and out of hours work...
forest edge
thus 20 years down the road you'll be the one making 20% less than others etc

Mono the junior strikes

Our bands are pretty wide. If I accept a promotion, I'll be paid about double what we pay our juniors. I'm not far off already.
clear ferry
Bands 🤢
deft pewter
Which is great, considering I still sometimes suffer imposter syndrome... 😄
clear ferry
Who doesn't?
deft pewter
The bands aren't absolute, atx. You get reduced increases if you're at the top, but only as a way to slow down spending a bit.
It's not like you hit the top and can never earn more.
clear ferry
Nah we have murica bands too, but I just jump to the next band usually 😂
deft pewter
But again... they're wide. I think our senior engineer bands stop around £60-65k. At that point, just become lead/principal/whatever or move to architect.
clear ferry
I'm at O band now, wonder if it goes to Z or Å
deft pewter
£65k in the UK in a corporate role is pretty decent. I'd guess a lot of people go the consultancy route if they want more.

Any cluster has redundancy , so that in it self isn't impressive or extraordinary 😂

At some point you string together enough hardware to make it competitive against enterprise solutions. That's the entire principal that Backblaze runs on
They buy the cheapest hard disks they can get their hands on, load up storage pods with over 120+ drives with multi-pod redundancy, and call it a day
subtle pasture
Obviously someone is using them, because they're constantly adding capacity
And their redundancy works, because they were able to keep running even with a plague of bad Seagate drives taking down entire pods

The current systems can probably lose a lot more, but I don't peek too far into the low end of it anymore
subtle pasture
@clear ferry Aight, point proven
subtle pasture
Th fact that you're now comparing directly across to "real" enterprise solutions proves my point 😛
+1 for the Fez gif, though
clear ferry
I'm comparing 15-20 year old tech to your statement 😘
subtle pasture
Hasn't changed, though
If they can both maintain the same uptime, who the hell cares if one uses consumer drives and the other uses enterprise drives?
clear ferry
What was enterprise 15 years ago is low grade consumer these days, as technology trickles down
subtle pasture
Honestly, 15-20 year server tech isn't in consumer hardware these days, because it's massively obsolete. Consumer hardware tracks WAY closer to server hardware than that
Buy an Intel HEDT system, and you're running re-badged intel Server hardware in a desktop
clear ferry
Yeah, exactly
subtle pasture
I can swap out the Core i7 in my motherboard for a 28 core Xeon (and even roll with ECC RAM), because it's literally the same socket and chipset that they use on their modern server hardware
The whole "15-20 year trickle-down" argument kinda falls on its face when desktop hardware is basically the same thing as server hardware
clear ferry
Well, the technology that lived inside previous generations of enterprise hardware only is now available in consumer grade stuff easily, that there is now "prosumer" hardware that the fanboi market gobbles up is something entirely different imo
subtle pasture
Hell, they're so similar I even have baseband management (thanks intel for putting vPro on everything) if I want it...
Nah, that's not true. Desktop hardware has tended to track slightly ahead of servers for a long time
Consumers can adopt shit WAY faster than enterprise

Hey guys i need your advise.
I have a new project. This time on the software side. I run WLED on 5 ESP32 in my basement in total. I also use HomeAssistant for managing the other ESP32 used for the QuinLED Quads.
The syncing function in WLED is not very reliable - most of the time only 4 lights sync and the 5th thinks it does not belong to the others xD
But if i send the command via HA everything works great. Is there a way to create something like a "PartyMode" where effects (and palettes) switch automatically? Anybody an idea?
I asked in the WLED Forum but nobody answered me 😦

I buy Tuya stuff and reflash it. Well at least I have been, but heard that the newest versions try and prevent you from reflashing them. Not sure why they care.

Or hell, if the chip that it uses isn't an ESP but is pin compatible with an ESP you can remove the offending chip and solder on an ESP. I've done that before

Pretty sure re-soldering chips is above my pay grade. I can solder but removing something and putting a new one on would make me nervous.

Agreed though, it's unfortunate that tuya-convert was patched

Support buying a sub. The greatest advantage is that it can be placed where it works best with the room, while the main speakers needs to be placed around the listener, which might not be the best spot for a sub. (Best regards sound engineer that is doing room tuning)

Dual subs are much easier than doing room correction and keeping the aesthetics intact
