"(1) Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.

Sounds like it’s a text box that enter input into. Making it completely pointless.

In essence, while the bill doesn’t seem to require the most egregious forms of age verification (face scans or similar), it does require OS providers to collect age verification of some form at the account/user creation stage—and to be able to pass a segmented version of that information to outside developers upon request.

So you just fake a date and call it a day… thank you Cali…

For real though I can’t imagine the sysadmin and docker nightmares that arise from having to completely overhaul your account orchestration scripts to input a garbage birthday.

I don’t think anyone thought of the fact that an account on an OS doesn’t always correspond to a human.

Good to know.

I have not touched it in several years so I just remember the 2013-2019 onslaught of bootstrap.

Oh god I didn’t expect that to give me the level of PTSD flashback that it did.

Fuck bootstrap with a rusty pitchfork.

And 50% of the styles are marked as !important

I’m a millennial and I’m an energy drink guy.

Expensive. Do not recommend.

I for one will use it continvoucly.

Was gonna say just this. Inheritance is powerful but something to reach for sparingly. 80% of the time aggregation and composition can solve the problems.

I’ve cleaned up too many inheritance nightmares in my day from people who insisted inheritance was the way to go.

You get walls?

Thank god it’s not GPLv3. I don’t want to have to open up my sex life to others for using a position.

I remember on launch it was a fucking miracle if the PC version could get past the intro screen. The fact that it’s remotely stable now is a bloody miracle.

Wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t. My bad.

Glad I’m not the only one that thought this was an AI comic.

EDIT: and had that thought confirmed.

But I like HDR support…

All day every day.

The poor kids can’t even afford coal and fall through the cracks.

Non-engineering roles I think.

IIRC levels correspond to all employees across the company.

Yeah it’s weird and I don’t get it either.

Yeah this was my experience when I worked there. Driving goals and doing good work isn’t enough. You need a fancy project to demonstrate “expanded scope” otherwise your promo would get rejected.

Sometimes things worked the way you wanted and people got promoted doing their normal job. A lot of times though there were a lot of fancy projects built to get people promos that suckers got stuck with the bill on.

This ain’t a case of one dude scamming the system as much as it is institutional rot from red tape.

At Amazon you have the following levels

L4 - Junior. A new grad. Expected to be promoted within 2 years or let go

L5 - Mid engineer. Very wide band. Encapsulates anything between a level 2 engineer and a team lead at other companies. Can be expected to lead individual teams at times. Is considered a “terminal” position (there’s no expectation of a promotion past here)

L6 - Senior. Has the scope of what a Staff engineer would at other companies where you’re not only concerned with your team but others in the department. I think like 10% of engineers ever hit L6

L7 - Principal Engineer. You have like 1-2 of these per department. These are more like architects at other companies. About 1-2% of engineers ever hit this band.

L8 and beyond are for fancy hires and shit. Very few if anyone ever works their way up to those bands.

Maybe he want to write damn login page himself.
