libopus isn't even an outlier in using it for a media format specifically. See: everything coming out of the Alliance for Open Media

Adding to this: as much as I'm asking what smart glasses can do that a smartphone and tethered glasses can't, there's a second question here. When the dumb display can also extend any other device you feel like, how is it

I mean, I'm more than willing to take the reductive approach and just say that the purpose of a system is what it does. But if we assume that it wasn't designed maliciously, we can look at this through another lens: FICO already

I think the real question here is, how much of that can't you get with a device that just attaches to your phone via USB-C?

Yes. But to be clear, since "anyone" is vague: I specifically mean talking to hiring teams, about ex-colleagues who haven't given them permission to ask around in the first place. Because the Fair Credit Reporting Act governs

This does apply to third party background checks, and backdoor references in particular are just one giant loophole in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Eightfold AI is getting sued right now for acting as a credit reporting agency -- not ju

I'm not sure the incentive here is strong enough. For a specific profile they want, at $2500 for every 30 days, I could see businesses just paying that fine as an operational cost. The incentive also exists, for the kinds of employers

I've landed on a similar hot take after one job offer got rescinded by a company that refused to give a reason, to anyone involved, and then wouldn't honor records requests. (But would send me a candidate survey.) With any job

Most of my knowledge of new tools comes from newsletters, forums, and content creators. I find things through passive media consumption (and, where I can get it, discourse with other enthusiasts) more often than I find them in the course

Actually some percentage of it is just the previous codebase from Windows Terminal :-p

If an interviewer, who has the power to deny you a job unless your answers are satisfactory to them, is unprofessional enough to abuse that by pressing you for inappropriate personal details during the interview, then there actually is no

These aren't at all the same thing though. A candidate can be aware that these kinds of questions are supposed to have boundaries, but that's different from whether an interviewer understands or respects that. And if they don&#x

I've had some rather interesting interviews myself, with several of my most ridiculous stories ironically being from here. One guy -- the reason I started building a tracking tool, after I noticed that his email was autofilling when

I once had an interviewer ask me, several years back, about the religious affiliations of my college. It's supposed to mean "at work," but that doesn't at all mean that you can assume the interviewer is going to unders

"Generous" means nothing in a context where severances in are entirely voluntary, and aren't actually a standard that you can reliably expect.

I should probably note a detail I left out here: I myself care a lot about standards, and simply am stating that I wouldn't push teams around me to suddenly drop Tailwind even if I personally would rather not have to rely on things l

I would think manipulating CSS through user input is both less common as an application pattern and less critical as an attack surface.

by chaosharmonic 5mo ago
Personally, I'm not sure from my own dives into it that I'd still insist on bare CSS in a professional codebase any more than I'd insist on plain DOM manipulation. And I do at least see Tailwind classes as being a little le

Um. I don't have the link directly in front of me, but the tl;dr of the OP's point (that I was referencing/quoting in the above comment) was that, in the US, our efforts around suicide prevention are last resort options, th

I saw a LinkedIn thread just the other day that called it the "suicide prevention industrial complex," and that phrase will stick in my head like "orphan crushing machine" or "leopards eating faces"

Also true.

I mean, I'd argue it's worse. Cigarettes don't run your communication networks, and aren't a functional necessity for businesses to advertise their services. On that note, not that I think regulation is the entire soluti

Oh that was only after the one that did amount to an interview. I otherwise had to reach out to people individually to hear anything at all. I also applied there some three or so times, and didn't get those either.

FYI, this place says they value transparency but have an explicit policy against providing feedback after interviews. (They did take my documentation PR after the fact.) Attempting to network with people here led them to promise me at lea

For those of us that, say, just got a new battery months before this was announced... a while ago (I forget when), there was talk of possibly sharing designs to enable repurposing them as power banks. Any word about that? Also is there a

That's because Brian Thompson was functionally a serial killer.

Likewise, I was unaware of this (and still see it in use regularly, especially on places like Printables as I've recently gotten my hands on a printer myself)

On the source-available piece: I'm not saying I'm for those over open source licenses in general, but Prusa brought up some fair questions when discussing the OCL. Essentially: define "personal use." Have I violated a no
