There's always a crisis you need to be ultra-worried about, even if you can't do anything to fix it yourself. One day it's too few honeybees, the next it's too many. It goes from being exhausting to being silly, the more

At the very least, it's gratifying to know you saved the equipment from the landfill. Saving money is also highly gratifying the older you get (I find).

For a SaaS app I built, I am using a third-party IDP/IDaaS, and thought about holding all user data as metadata in that directory so the only thing my app database stored was a foreign key for user, and I'd be able to really lever

The internet can still be joyful. Pay DO a pittance, make and tend a website, creating part of the internet you wish existed. Work at ignoring more of the major sites on a daily basis. Don’t look at the bar of success as being visitors and

Seems meme-worthy. “Just one good idea, sparked over a dish of caviar eaten off a naked Slavic woman, or hugging a golden toilet at the sheik’s 4th house in Dubai, was worth days of tiring travel.”

Is this really anything more than jargon? Seems a bit overwrought/self-indulgent to call it much more.

From experience, my philosophy is don’t buy/own a German luxury car that is more than three years old, unless you hate money.

People’s taste also change (sometimes dramatically) as they age, aside from any differences in farming or prep, though I don’t doubt what you’re saying.

I think both scenarios can be true. Let us not deny that there are worthless employees and worthless jobs, which tend to accumulate in large organizations organically, and warrant periodic correction.

Honestly, I think taking the company's side is the contrarian opinion. The knee-jerk reaction is to judge them as the evil man oppressing working families. Why? The vast majority of people have not worked in managerial positions with h

Not "probably". I was involved at ground level fixing code for BP in '98. Can say without a doubt that bad things would have happened. And not because my salary depended on it - there was no shortage of opportunities to work

IME, telecom as an industry is highly focused on the RCA, ICA, and uptime, and has had that embedded culturally for decades. Sharing the information publicly doesn't have much value, in the balance, unless there are a string of inciden

Yeah, I’d love someone to chime in about Q3. AVP and whassisname’s video got me thinking more about it.

I hear this a lot and it's the wrong expectation. Cameras are not security theater, AND they often won't stop a crime. I don't think people in security industry expect that or sell it to do that. That said, I have seen a dumb

It would have been better to write this as “rules for working with time zones”, rather than inverting everything and calling them misconceptions. The approach taken is confusing to read and, like others have pointed out, I don’t believe for

Even in mid-late nineties I would have never paid for a cell phone personally (too expensive), but they were becoming cheap enough that it was common for employers to see the value in making sure you had one.

Driving through cow country it’s impossible not to think of all the far side comics involving them and ponder what’s really going on in their heads. XD

Well a lot of it is quite dark. One of my favorites being the jet pilots asking each other why there’s a mountain goat in the clouds.

In context, I would be careful taking this conclusion at face value quite yet, though it does seem intuitive, just as the other one was. “About 250 healthy older adults came from a long-term study of heart health … 739 people were newly rec

I just want glasses that will give me a solidly good experience of one >= 27” monitor (or more), ideally dual 32”, for remote and airplane work on text based content. Wake me up when that happens.

Near as I can tell, it works like this: a manufacturer has to meet certain MPG standards for its cars and trucks; the aggregate calculation is their CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) score. To the degree their model year vehicles fail t

"The energy contained in 1 gallon of gas is equivalent to 33.7 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity. So for example, if an electric vehicle can travel 100 miles on 33.7 kWh of electricity, it would be rated with an MPG equivalency of 10
