This could the beginning of the end for SEO content. The value of these companies will go up for now because of more content and therefor more engagement, but after the world is flooded with mass generated content the engagement will drop a

I have dozens of 2FA codes now that requires searching for the correct one and I have to store backup codes in physical form. Which probably a lot of people keep unencrypted on their desktop somewhere. With the Digid app you just need to re

It's like telling someone that throwing all their stuff in one huge box is always better than using smaller boxes. Obviously it depends on the situation.

While it is indeed total insanity it could easily be avoided by putting quotes around all string values.

If they want to add complexity and put in extra work they can do it on their own pet project. Sure they want to invest the extra time now but are they also going to maintain it forever with extra effort or what happens when they leave? It

Just say no. There are probably many more reasons to keep you on board than to let you go because you didn't write a blog post.

The containerisation part is where it shines. Collecting and running any dependency for your image with the Dockerfile make it very flexible and independent of the host platform. I can agree that the problems start on the edge between the h

But it has been perfectly acceptable for many companies to run employees into the ground with countless unpaid overtime work. It is just the first time in history employees have some leverage and practical options to swing the balance into

Except when someone wants to drill a hole to hang a painting. You can hear that multiple floors up or down. I live in a 30 story building and the drilling noise in a real nuisance.

What I don't understand is why Meta/Facebook thinks you are only a real person if you are a musician. You cannot just upload a picture of your passport and a couple of bank statements. You know, the way any other company verifies

I have never experienced a truly Agile or a truly Waterfall project. It has always been a mixed bag of approaches and ideas depending on the project, the client and team. There is a reason there are managers and planners in every company. P

We need blogs again. I am sorry, but I cannot read an otherwise interesting writeup because of this insane format.

There are many other metrics that do not involve AB testing. You can just survey customer experience before, during and after a purchase for example. I never said to throw out all metrics. With AB testing your are optimising for a specific

It did not mean it too seriously, of course there are also good AB tests, but there are a lot of bad ones out there. Those are what the article was about. (edited for clarification)

by Kaotique 4y ago
AB testing shows zero respect to your customers. It is the equivalent of testing your theories on lab rats. Instead try to improve the customer experience, make better products, improve customer service.

Charities are also overflowing with goods. They keep the nicest items and the rest end up on the trash heap anyway.

by Kaotique 4y ago
Those items are probably never resold. They just throw them. Mattresses are big. They stand out when left on the side of the road.

by Kaotique 4y ago
This is not really that surprising. Most items that are returned are never resold as "new" anyway. Return goods are thrown in the trash right away or sold with a discount in their own stores or sold to discounters. They just offer

More income will result in higher expectations. Bigger house, more expensive car, branded clothes, eating out in fancier restaurants, etc. Some stuff you can hardly avoid like a mortgage. I think most single people would have an easier time

You are very lucky. I had so many issues with external monitors. I have regularly seen coworkers fiddling with dongles, cables and trying different monitors. The issue seems also software related because if you would try the same screen or

If you need to do so much work to make a single carpool lane you really have to think if that is the best solution in the first place. You already have too many cars. The obvious solution is reducing the existing number of cars. Open a coup

I think being completely honest about it is the best approach. You can immediately filter companies that are unwilling to create a good environment for you right away. No need to torture yourself by going to standard interviews. I am sure t

I think a lot of times a redesign is simply used as a tool for a manager/exec to have an impact, any impact really. It does not matter so much if the net result is positive or negative. It looks good on their resume. "Joined compa
