Email is ridiculously complex—the technology is dead simple, but the number of exceptions and (undocumented) rules you need to abide by or risk getting banned by half the internet without being told is nothing to sneeze at.

I should know: I have built multiple support platforms that worked through email (amongst other channels).

You mention wanting to start at the SMTP level, and then building a Qt interface. So you’re going to write an SMTP client, an IMAP/POP3/JMAP client, a storage engine, a user interface, and a better search system, all on your own? You’re describing a gargantuan task.

No offense, but each one of those could be a project on its own. You probably think they’re all simple tasks (they’re not), and that you can follow a few RFCs to get things going (you can’t), and that it’ll be easy to debug (it won’t). Finally, I think you’re underestimating how large people’s email maps get.

Why not write a plugin for Thunderbird that improves the search?

You didn't get laid off because you discussed your wages.

You were laid off because you couldn't keep your cards close to your chest and told the company y'all had been discussing wages.

Having the right to discuss it doesn't mean you should do it in front of the boss.

In Denmark, I'm part of a union which publishes salary stats for every possible job title, management responsibility, education, in a fairly convoluted matrix. Still, this allows me to easily negotiate with companies and see how well they pay. There might be something organised by the government, but I've never had a need for it.

Germany has a principle of equal treatment. The only way to ensure this is respected is to discuss wages. There is a legal precedent that makes it completely unambiguous that discussing wages is protected. It may be uncomfortable, but that's just social pressure, encouraged by companies.

You cannot prevent your employees from discussing wages. It is literally illegal to do so, and you cannot reprimand people for doing so.

Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with their coworkers about their wages, as well as with labor organizations, worker centers, the media, and the public. Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection.

If you are an employee covered by the Act, you may discuss wages in face-to-face conversations, over the phone, and in written messages. Policies that specifically prohibit the discussion of wages are unlawful as are policies that chill employees from discussing their wages.

You may have discussions about wages when not at work, when you are on break, and even during work if employees are permitted to have other non-work conversations. You have these rights whether or not you are represented by a union.

Je ne suis ni petit, ni néo, ni lib :).

Perso, je ne pensais pas que le terme que j’avais utilisé était si insultant que ça. C’était pour moi plus une façon d’indiquer qu’il y avait un manque de perspective.

J’ai édité mon commentaire, j’espère que mon point de vue est plus clair. Pour info j’ai vécu quelques temps à Kyiv et j’ai perdu un bon nombre d’amis dans ce conflit, d’où mon point de vue biaisé.

Bon weekend

J’ai revu mon commentaire pour être moins provocateur/agressif. Mes excuses.

Il ne faut pas tout mélanger. Protéger l'Ukraine, c'est protéger l'intégrité de l'Europe. Je ne parle pas de l'UE, mais de l'Europe d'un point de vue géographique. Si on tolère que la Russie envahisse nos frontières, on va devoir faire face à une nouvelle catégorie de problèmes, pour lesquels on n'a franchement pas le temps, ni les ressources. Vous pensez qu'on va "finir en cendres" si on les oppose maintenant? Que va-t-il se produire lorsqu'ils auront réétabli un bloc similaire à celui de l'aire Soviétique? À mon sens, il manque un peu de réflexion sur les effets long-termes pour tenir ce genre de propos.

Il n'est pas possible de dire que Macron et le FN sont les suppléants de la Russie, et du même revers rejetter sa proposition d'une intervention anti-Russe en Ukraine. Soit c’est un pion de poutine, soit il ne l’est pas.

Aussi, stop le spam. En 30 minutes t'as posté 5 articles dont 3 du même site.

Pedantic moment: “every business’ focus”, or “all businesses’ focus”, but not “every businesses’ focus”.

Could you explain what you mean by “full commercial use”?

I'm a bit sceptic when I hear that you don't even have a computer but somehow you're the amazing diver of the bunch. I'm not solo certified, and I don't ever intend to be, but I don't see how it is compatible with renting all of your gear.

It sounds like you're the one breaking your own rules as well: you decided to screw the plan (of sticking with your buddy) in order to not lose sight of the DM. You can't really have it both ways. You can't go for super cheap insta-buddy groups and expect a tier 1 diver. You can't blame everyone else when you're making the same mistakes.

Talk to your buddy pre-dive. Don't be condescending by approaching them and saying "this is how we're going to do things" as they'll just start fighting you on everything. Instead, talk to them, ask what kind of thing they want to do, how close/far they want to be (to you, to the DM, etc), and try to adapt to that. It's also during this discussion that you should try and figure out whether you're compatible.

If you're not, or you don't think you can rely on them, then don't dive. It doesn't matter that you're about to lose the DM if your buddy has an OoA and now you're 20m away, looking in the wrong direction, and now your buddy is fish food, or the other way around. Stay with your buddy.

I would model the part myself, print it myself and check for fit and function. Once the part design and tolerances confirmed, I would then either use a local or remote shop.

Xometry.eu (no affiliation, never used them) appears to be in Europe and outsources to local shops. They have plastic and metal SLS, CNC, sheet metal, and everything else as possibilities. https://xometry.eu/en/direct-metal-laser-sintering/

Another option is to use the Chinese PCB shops. PCBWay has amazing abilities these days: https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyping/manufacture/?type=3&reffercode=TOP
