At one company I got so many messages like that … I just chose not to respond if they didn’t have an actual message. One of the managers who was not a fan of mine (or anyone) tried to get me in trouble for not responding to his team (they h

I grew up in a small-ish town and when there was a construction site there was inevitably a large pile of dirt somewhere nearby. Often 10 or more feet tall. If construction wasn't occurring it would be occupied by neighborhood kids d

Are social stigmas as far as the internet goes doing any good? I feel like they’re very much not.

This seems like a poor choice. Missing the point of sanctions, possible long term negative second order effects.

I think I feel similarly to you. M currently re-writing an app that I wrote years ago. All the issues came from data structures, queries, architecture that didn’t fit what emerged as the use case. Now I can focus on those things and work f

I remember in the old days of the discovery channel or maybe it was the learning channel they had surgery videos. Very interesting, very gory.

Seems about right, in the sense that these advertising companies are just fine dealing with scammers / taking their money … but there are corners of the same company that also have reasons to not allow that behavior and it becomes a ci

Meanwhile random griefer types work the Google system just fine. For whatever reason some randos altering business hours and posting mass quantities of weird maps reviews, closed updates stay up. Meanwhile on YouTube when I’m not getting

My understanding from articles, they had scientists hard at work trying to get their machine to work and the issues that were essentially maintenance (you really couldn’t have a testing machine like this that didn’t require expensive /

I’ve had “Boss I can fix this in one line of code.” situations, but nobody of 6 people wanted to make the call despite involving themselves excessively. So nothing got done. So the temperature on the issue went up. So management whose failu

We have been building them for decades without problems at the scale we’re talking about them now. There’s a few in my area that have huge green space around them as per local government and I’d love to live near them…. You got big open gr

I’ve had more than one client tell me they want to collect drivers license images for various reasons. Somewhere in the inane executive brain world there are some folks who seem to see some unspecified value in collecting driver’s license i

It’s wild. It’s one of those “Do we have to tell you people to not do this?!?!?”

A coworker of mine once answered the wrong cell phone and said the wrong company name. (He was working for a competitor as well as our company.) Another turned his computer that “wouldn’t behave” into IT, full of porn.

I’ll take it a step further and say I think the current music player-isms UX is just not easy to use and gets in my way of enjoying music…

Yeah I’m inclined to agree. Even with choices of services and their choices on the internet… it’s just not a priority for most users in a way that matters.

Being able to ask the dumb questions but then get focused on something more technical is so nice. Get examples on demand. It helps me pickup and understand new things pretty fast.

Yup. I take the time to review and adjust my code… regardless the source. It works. Well most of the time but either way that’s on me.

They don't really care about any of that. The NRA has been a slush fund for it's leadership for a while.

It just seems somewhat more efficient to take all the computing storage, memory processes, processors, or at least all the money that go into it… the in one spot. If you’re running a big task or small, everything scales to the appropriate s

I don’t blame them, even if you cut a deal the president sees something on social media and comes back for more tariffs.

It’s not common as far as overall jobs go. The weird exceptions and stories get more attention online, make them seem more frequent than they are. I’ve never worked anywhere or been interviewed at a place that asked this absurd schedule o
