I hate articles like these. Every city and township has their own set of ordinances that makes generalizations like this not possible. They might define RV differently, or they might only allow it for a limited amount of time, or only durin

Didn't this already happen? It just seems like it was only progressively rolled out to Chrome browsers. My work PC was hit with this about a month ago, and now I get ads there...

No. This is incorrect. OP explicitly mentions "jumping through bureaucratic hoops" > Not long after, I had jumped through the relevant bureaucratic hoops, and subsequently found myself cycling home from the pharmacy

Untrue. I find problems with niche knowledge, heavy math, and/or lack of good online resources to be troublesome for AI. Examples so far I've found of consistent struggle points are shaders, parsers, and streams (in Nodejs at leas

And the opposite is true. There's a balance. For some that authenticity really works for them at work (those with a general curiosity, an interest in how groups interact and work, who are workaholics) and it aligns. For others it does

Very true, there is a balance to be found. The suggestion from OP to leave it all at home, to focus purely on skill and merit is too black/white.

But this is how people really are. Being authentic is easier for some because the corporate world more closely aligns with the dominant culture. Take the casual ignorance of an employee PC background of a sexy woman, because that's jus

I like keeping _all_ my shell history, with timestamps. Even the fuckups. It's come in handy a few times now * Looking back at my old process for onboarding into some new technology. I can easily see how my technique evolved as I optim

What kind of life is that? To be a sterile, subservient entity for the majority of your existence. Being authentic in the working world helps in so many ways. And it works when your goals and the goals of the company align. The advice to ju

It's been so much more rewarding playing with AI coding tools on my own than through the subtle and not so subtle nudges at work. The work AI tools are a walled garden, have a shitty interface, feel made to extract from me than to help

Migrated off of Gmail a few years ago and the gains of not having to worry about Google's direction keeps paying off. Go with a provider who's actually focused on email, you'll thank yourself.

If that is the case, isn't the future more private code? The producers realize that public release is no longer in their favor and will keep it in their groups (until they leak or whatever)?

Any idea on how to segment a VPN between friends? I have a few critical servers on my VPN I only want one or two devices to access, but no other devices. Mostly so that in case a rogue device enters or a friend gets hacked, there's no

Try a game jam, I've never been to one with a sponsor and they were much more interpersonal and social with the participants than you describe.

Game jams (similar to hackathons) are great for applying what you already know but with a new group of people. They're much harder if you _dont_ know what your doing (contrary to what you suggest). I've found that the group really

Hmm, sounds about right. I still feel like being around people when they express such radical beliefs reflects poorly on me and hurts me in some unexplainable way. When challenging such beliefs I find some are hyperbole or a side effect of

The dopamine from an image edit like this is such a short term gain for all the long term effort that went into perfecting and performing a specific art style and it becoming a name and cultural _thing_. Groups of people staking their care
