Yes. I have a document called “in case of emergency” that lays out where everything is—important contact information, bank accounts, files, backups—and it includes a section for sensitive information such as the master password for my passw

They sell ads, so the high-end salespeople were probably in relationships with big enterprise ad purchasing departments.

I overreacted. Let me try again. Your original question was, paraphrased, "how do we give non-tech product owners early access without a staging environment?" The canonical answer, from organizations that do this, is to use featur

If your question is, "I really like the status quo and don't want to change anything, how could eliminating staging environments help me," the answer is obviously, "it can't."

Feature flags tied to user accounts. Alternatively (since you said “prior to pull request”) local builds, screen sharing, and live conversations with stakeholders. Alternatively (if you don’t want to screen share) continuous deployment, fea

I think you’re overestimating the value of building such support into a language, rather than using libraries/frameworks, and underestimating the difficulty of creating bespoke languages. Speaking as someone who’s actually tried what y

I’ve seen this model tried time and time again, though typically with an in-house “framework” rather than a language, which is a better approach anyway. It’s the “smart people build the foundation, dumb people customize with it” model. It d

One of the things that strikes me about this story is that it took six grand juries to indict Woolley. Now, I don’t know what the grand jury selection is like in Texas, but I’ve served on a grand jury in Oregon. And I gotta tell you, it is

It reminds me of the “Chief Engineer” role in the Toyota Production System. They’re fully responsible for the success of a vehicle. They aren’t necessarily doing day-to-day IC work, but they have the background and expertise to make and und

His description of DRIs (“directly responsible individuals”) sounds an awful lot like a product manager to me.

Read the text of the GDPR directly. It’s surprisingly readable, and there’s several well-organized hypertext versions online. It’s been several years since I read the GDPR, but my recollection is that companies smaller than 150 people, who

I read your link and it didn’t seem to address the question. (I admit bailing early because it didn’t seem relevant. It talks about Netflix’s content creation policy, and bizarrely, what Elon Musk thinks of it. Why Musk is being quoted in a

You don’t need an EU DPO, just an EU representative, according to my reading of it. (At least not under a certain size, which is what I was looking at.) They’re basically a glorified post office box. I used DataRep, which was very reasonab

Interestingly, this matches what Bjorn Freeman-Benson said in 2019, before the pandemic. He's a CTO with a lot of experience with remote development: > Due to communication friction, “we got much less creativity out of our [distribu

I presume you’ve not raised kids of your own. If you had, you’d know that constant monitoring of older children is both infeasible and unhealthy. Children don’t magically become responsible at age 16 or 18; they get there by participating i

It's a pretty good article, if you read the whole thing. People seem to be getting hung up on the "girls in yoga pants" non-sequiturs. The author spells it out near the bottom of the article: > Meanwhile, we’ve systematica

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. You didn't actually answer my request for evidence, though. I think is the study we've been discussing: https://seclab.bu.edu/people/gianluca/papers/deplatforming-w.

> The point is, countering negative ideas with suppression does not work. This is the core of your argument, and if true, it’s unassailable. However, I don’t believe it’s true. Do you have evidence that it is? I don’t mean well-crafted a

The argument is for deplatforming, so it would be more accurate to say, “in order to prevent book burnings, we must not give them any assistance in publicizing their thoughts.” Deplatforming doesn’t forcibly prevent speech, it just pushes i

The server instances are currently set to 100 people, up from 50 earlier this year. Not sure where you got “a couple dozen” from. It’d been at 40-50 for years, IIRC. Interestingly, when they increased the size, performance increased, beca

I'm sympathetic to the author's frustration, but I didn't find the article compelling. He asks the question, "What is the primary advantage of college compared to other education businesses?" It's an excellent

Your comment rubbed me the wrong way. Here's why, in case it's helpful: You act as if you have expertise in aerodynamics, but don't share the sort of details an expert would. An expert would say something along the lines of,

One of my favorite blogs is acoup.blog: “A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry.” The author critiques modern pop culture portrayals of history and warfare, and does so in an entertaining and informative way. He’s a history professor—one of t

That’s overly harsh. I think humanities, and people who major in them, bring value to the world, and do so in a way that CS doesn’t. But I agree that their contributions tend not to be valued financially. Given the cost of university educat

Before everyone gets up in arms, this is an unsourced article claiming “Adobe says” it can reduce password sharing. At no point does it say Netflix is actually working with Adobe. In other words, Adobe is marketing a new service, and TFA
