I like where you went with this. 1. The corporation itself is built on business metrics though. Everyone quantifies this way, it’s table stakes to portray oneself as responsible for a positive change in business metrics. You still must pret

I wish it were so simple. Maybe I’ve just been bit by too many bugs in npm over time, but I repeatedly see npm i change the lockfile when incrementally installing a new package that was correctly locked. Fortunately at least npm ci has alwa

Two essential use cases: 1) For local development, I’m seeking a command I can use after pulling, to safely and quickly install any needed dependencies that have been added by others. Currently I use npm ci but it’s absurdly overkill (and t

How can I incrementally install exactly what’s in the lockfile, raising an error if it’s incompatible with package.json? This is what I expect npm i to do, but as far as I can tell, npm simply doesn’t support.

The fact that npm ci does what npm i should do (well, except for starting from scratch each time [0]), says it all. npm is a joke. [0] Yes, that's right. npm doesn't allow to to install incrementally respecting the lockfile. You

Oh yea. Does anyone advocate for tied-at-the-yoke pairs other than consulting firms that like the billable hours?

Ah, you don’t need to choose between collecting feedback to feed your growth, and a) and b). At least, in my career I found pursuing and considering candid reflections from others that I admire, on my behavior, has made me more effective in

Thanks, and thanks for the practical tips in this and above comment.

Thanks. I could benefit from therapy to address trauma I experienced with a previous (awful) therapist. And I get a sinking feeling considering the shopping I would need to do. > A therapist will never say to you, "You know what? I

Would you spell out please why you don’t put the camera on when joining from your sofa chair? I feel self-conscious joining from my couch occasionally, but am pushing through it, there’s no reason why we can’t normalize harmless alternative

+1 to that would be awkward, and post shows some empathy A strong manager of course would not mandate micro behaviors like webcam use. A strong manager perhaps might 1) give space for the team to develop their own norms, 2) subtly nudge tho

Thanks. In the CD ripping world, Exact Audio Copy does a lot of tricks in software, eg. I think it puts the drive in raw mode and will read slowly and several times, so you can get good results on arbitrary hardware. Does Handbrake do simil

How do you find a good therapist? It seems like a market for lemons.

What efforts have you made to get candid feedback here though? > it's only been a noted issue with a handful of folks, and never been a deal breaker In my experience it’s not realistic to expect people to proactively note constructi

I know this is a joke, but Jaron Lanier actually proposes machines communicate through human (?) or VR (?) interfaces. Something like that. I spent 15 minutes searching the web and my library but couldn't find it. I read two books of h

I’m curious to learn more about your ideas, but you’re more or less equating a person’s identity to their relationship with social media, it’s not a strong argument.

I usually hear “resources” used in the abstract, which was grating the first time, but I’ve gotten over. Are you hearing that literally? Would you share an example sentence?

As an enterprise customer, in the scenario you provided, I’d prefer if the vendor makes this my problem, by forcing me to reset the individual user’s MFA configuration, rather than try to be helpful in such a way that requires support perso

In this scenario, it’s more secure to require the user to request their own password reset via their registered email address.

Infuriating indeed. It’s not just internet randos though, it’s also (for example) engineering executives lacking in self awareness.

Not only that but the urban vision could come blasting back. If people spend more time at home, they spend more time in their neighborhoods, so they start to care about neighborhood amenities, and suburban just can't compete with urban
