Thank you for posting this. I really dislike how not wanting to work for companies that are actively harming the world is often portrayed as some sort of selfish luxury.

Because there needs to be a baseline level of convenience in order to get less-technical people to even consider using a password manager at all. If the alternative is using the same handful of weak passwords for every site, the risk of you

Same, I held onto Lastpass much longer than I would have put up with any less-essential SaaS product. Finally moved to Bitwarden and couldn't be happier. Still trying to decide if I want to self-host it or not, but more breaches of clo

Bedbugs are a real problem. I'll dumpster dive almost anything, but I draw the line at mattresses and upholstered furniture.

Oh, that's very interesting. Can you get more specific? What's the difference between productivity in this sense then, vs profit margin?

This article and the chart within it reference the rate of change in productivity, but not the raw productivity number. Without seeing those numbers, my assumption -- and what seems to be implied here -- is that productivity rose in early 2

Does anyone know how productivity for knowledge workers is actually measured? The article only goes so far as to mention that measuring productivity is "particularly tricky", but what datapoints exactly are these statistics even p

Is this truly motionless, or are the turbines just hidden, sort of like those Dyson fans?

Fewer people are going into the office, but a higher percentage of those that are going in are driving instead of taking mass transit. The level of traffic remains the same because the biggest incentive against driving is the traffic. There

Very cool, I bookmarked this to come back to later. As a gardener who recently built a home server, I hope to eventually set up a soil moisture monitoring system, which I could then in turn eventually hook up to an automatic watering system

You seem to be equating "home ownership" with single-family detached homes, but that is not what the term means -- you can own an apartment flat as well, it's called a condo.

I build my own server for the first time last year running Unraid OS. It's been great. Super easy to set up, all apps are installed as docker containers. SpaceInvaderOne and Ibracorp are great youtube resources, and their forum communi

I think getting rid of the deception and forcing companies to be upfront about what they're selling would be a significant improvement. Hard to get companies to change when people don't even realize the problem.

Yes this doesn't appear to be so egregious that I would cancel the interview, still worth giving them a shot for the phone screen. That said, as a bootcamp grad myself, it personally irks me when I see other bootcamp grads try and misr

Oh wow this is fascinating, I have someone I'm doing a tech screen for this week that matches your exact description. They have both the Single Sprout Speaker Series talk along with the OSLabs Beta open source experience which takes up

I would absolutely assume that "remote" means "absolutely zero travel" unless that was spelled out. Remote means you don't need me physically present at a particular place (outside of knowing my location for tax p

Late to reply, but yes it was pretty much this. I don't recall exactly what it looked like, but it wasn't anything scary. My reaction was mostly one of amused surprise.

Wow this is a great idea. I do have to say I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that none of the bigger brands in power tools look to be participating. The only name I recognize there is Bosch, I've never had any of their tools bu

If that is the case that means that investors cannot see themselves competing with established players in the market. That would be an indication that the current market dominators should be broken up, not that they should be allowed to acq

Question for you, have you always moved directly from one job to the next? I'm contemplating leaving my current role and taking a couple months off before the job search, and while I'm not worried about landing a new job, I am con

Discovered this by accident once when I was playing around with a high-res scanner at work and did a dollar bill for fun.

Actually it makes a lot more sense than may appear at first glance. Heat pumps are incredibly efficient. So much so that burning natural gas to generate electricity to power a heat pump is more efficient than burning the gas directly to cre

I've been at my first software engineering gig for 4 years now, we don't have on call, and I've sworn to myself that I will absolutely never take a position with on-call. I'm a bit worried that it will hamper my career p

It's because any potential of increased profit from less competition would still be less that the amount of profit they make by fleecing their workers.

Maybe I don't do it because I find it morally questionable, not because I don't think it's free and easy money. I'll absolutely turn down free and easy money for something I think is wrong.

I don't see at all how a local code compliance violation rises to the level of a news story.

Living in NYC, I can't tell if by "status implications" you mean that a 600 sq ft apartment is swanky or cheap.
