Its super common. The imgur app has it shared to the public gallery by default and you need to mark it "hidden" manually each time you upload. If you browse imgur's New gallery you see images posted by mistake all the time.

Imgur does something goofy with the referer that you've clicked a link from. I'm by no means a competent web programmer or understand how linking/referrers/etc. work but at one point I had a little doodad in GreaseMonkey

I think if things worked purely that way and everything was completely transparent it would be fine but there's a few things that muddy the waters 1) Moderators create alternate accounts and gobble up offshoots. They'll either hav

Professionalism, at least to me, implies both competence and tact. Its nice knowing that they're capable of offering services but its also nice knowing that if/when things go wrong whether by my own mistake or not, I will be treat

It was more of a question to see your rational honestly. If you're saying the only quality feature of the Pixel 3a is the camera I wanted to see what you valued in smartphones to make that comment. For me: ease of use/configuratio

What's your recommendation? I'm about to look at upgrading from my Pixel 1 and the 3a has been a frontrunner for me so far. I'm waiting to see what the rumored 4 & 4a bring to the table before I jump on anything.

What's funny is with Android 10 you get these prompts now too (can't say how comparative the two features are though). My biggest offender is Google's apps requesting location access in the background; Hangouts, Messenger, Ph

I've always held Apex as an example of a Bad model when talking with people only tangentially knowledgeable of the topic. 1. Apex plays a real dirty game of hooking you on boxes then slowly phasing them out. You start by getting a bo

The one thing I sort of held as truth over my life about why international grand conspiracies would never be "real" was that there's just too many individuals involved to make a coverup possible. Surely there has to be some

I'm kind of shocked at how many recommendations are merely, "have tact and don't be a dick to your coworkers." How many code reviews are shitslinging mudfests where you guys work?? Now admittedly I mostly work on proje

I actually kind of find the thought hilarious. In a twitch shooter, you mouse over a visible opponent. Would the AI be more likely to pre-emptively pull the trigger for you? Or more likely delay and swing the aim passed the opponent before

I had a big StarCitizen fan for a coworker for a while and I asked him what he thought of that. His response was that the original 100 star systems weren't as vast and detailed as the singular system they're building now. He says

I agree. I simply think that if people want to use the "Engineer" moniker then they should be required to abide by the profession's code of ethics. I really want our profession to have a set of standards that people can trust

I figure the ethical debate extends into our societal issue of greed as well. Certain institutions would love to be able to give you no medication/treatment, charge you as though you had received it and you're none the wiser.

But the story we want told is who got complacent? Was it the C-levels making budget decisions? Was it engineering staff that left for greener pastures or was it R&D decisions that ended up at dead ends with nothing to show for it? Its
