reddit has some of the worst mods I’ve ever seen in any capacity. And they’re frequently in control of massive subreddits. I remember when hate speech was just discovered as a reason to ban people, and mods of major subreddits would find wa

Ah yes, the site that refers to its users as "Daily Active Shitheads," and promotes vigilante armchair detectives to ignore the FBI and accuse random innocent civilians of being world class terrorists.

Software for maintenance devices shouldn't be written so it forces people to use a cloud service unless they can guarantee that will always work. There's about 1000 points of failure in that. Actually, I'm pretty sure DVDs an

When you're cooking a dinner, you already bought all the food as a pre-paid expense for the most part. Or it's ambiguous enough as things are finalized yet that there's some certainty in how many people will actually show up

Reminds me of when I logged into a gmail account I forgot about for like 13 years. Google asked me to verify I'm a not a robot, so I did. Then it said I "couldn't be verified" anyway so I did it again, but it gave me lik

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t google the weather on my work computer because it might have some crazy exploit or cause an alert. DevOps guy here is just running a Plex server and probably pirating porn on his work laptop because why not

They’d probably either jump straight to requiring a phone number or ssn and try to write it off as “there’s no other way to verify you’re a real person.” We seem to be going this way already.

There’s apparently a lot of people upset about Twitter for trying to manage misinformation. I’d like to see equal information leaked from Fox for comparison, who should have journalistic integrity since they’re a news company. It seems weir

It’s all fun and games until you end up with January, December, 20December because the dev only tested in the second half of the current year’s month.

Could you help explain why the general consensus seems to consider Amazon as a just given backup and easy interview path (but the hard part is the actual job crunch apparently)? They still do leetcode screening don’t they? IMO they’ve been

I used to love these. When OneNote first came out, it was everything I ever wanted and more. I think the later versions got worse. Eventually I switched PCs and it had an error syncing my notebooks. There was a mix of local and cloud copies

PayPal created an account without ID, they can close an account without ID. Using your logic, couldn't people just open a fraudulent account because they didn't present an ID? That is a much worse outlook. The account (email) that

I was in high school 15 years ago when I first was interested in crosswords. I remember reading the news paper (or, at least, attempting to). I thought crosswords would at least be an accessible entry point. There were questions from shows

I think everyone is in agreement that college admins are the cause of the problem. Does anyone know why colleges keep adding to the admin staff? Presumably, they're adding to the profits. I'm curious how this constant bloat growth

Do you have any information about how old versions of Mac OS receive security updates? As far as I'm aware, I don't really see any updates come through in the regular update section of the settings. It might've happened if th

I've never seen a CEO with any actual accountability. There's always someone else who failed and caused THEM this inconvenience. I hear it's a hard job that's deserving all of that money. True, I don't want to talk

OK, so it looks like someone working for Elon, possibly non technical, at first asked employees to print out code to discuss in a review. Possibly resulting from a miscommunication, or to ensure no holdups due to computer crashes or somethi

The trick to using Firefox on mac like 5 years ago was to use the developer edition. For some reason it was way faster than standard Firefox. I don't know if that's still the case, but I stick to it for good luck.

I'm probably doing standups wrong, but I find it useful for devs to (briefly) talk about what they're working on. Bring up something you're struggling on and maybe I can jump in and help. Let people know you're working o

I find Twitter equally as hard to read as emails like this, or any group conversation in email really. For both, it seems like I read messages in random order and then have to guess at the general gist. There's seems like no easy way t

This is a bit off topic, but I am naturally excellent at reading other people's code. I can somehow factor in commit messages and see their style to determine if they didn't know X area very well, if it was a temporary hotfix, or
