I had at least one photo with one of my cats in my last set of dating profile photos. The goal isn’t to get the most responses, it’s to get the right ones. The premise of the study is flawed, IMO, assuming the goal is to be broadly popular

<em>Meaning, if you are looking for a place you will enjoy working, do not start with salary.</em> I'm not. Work is work. It's how I pay for my life. I want a job that doesn't make me miserable, and is constr

If you have a problem solved by software, pay for it. They’re not a charity. If you’re just using without giving back you have zero standing to feel let down. Feedly is a SaaS, not a foss project. They have bills to pay.

The country isn't divided on this. More than 70% of people support abortion rights - though some % of people are mixed about putting some restrictions on abortion. (Largely because the right has been successful at pushing bogus narrati

You’re not, though. You’re accepting to the company. The hiring manager may well quit or you may be reorg’ed at a moment’s notice to a new manager. I’ve been a hiring manager and I would be bummed if someone accepted and then took another o

Depending on where you live and how bad a yard gets, it can be a real problem. Here, for example, it can be an invitation to snakes or other wildlife that aren’t confined to that property. That said, I’m -1 on HOAs. I’ve heard far too many

If you have the feeling "I wonder if I should talk to a professional?" the answer is probably "yes." A good therapist can do wonders. (A bad therapist can do damage, though - so it's imperative to find a good one an

Amen. Stop helping companies create walled gardens that ultimately screw you. You’d think we’d have learned that lesson by now.

I didn’t get that from this at all. His complaint seemed to be when the organization wouldn’t address a problem, period. In his shoes, I’d be thrilled if the response was “you’re right, we’re going to coach this other person to improve, bec

Opinions is a very mild way of saying “attempt to overthrow the government.” Let’s not sugar coat this. She wasn’t taking a side on this or that issue where Justice Thomas might have to vote. She was trying to overthrow the government and h

NFL teams demanding things is pretty much what's entirely soured me on professional sports. I grew up near St. Louis and the city has been screwed over not once (Rams) but twice (football Cardinals) in my lifetime by NFL teams. They en

Star Trek is a post-nuclear war story, right? And a post-capitalist society? So far, humanity still hasn’t felt the need to unify or try to provide for all people. We’re way off from that utopian vision.

How would Microsoft restrict it to Russia? Assuming it’s possible, why would any country trust Microsoft afterwards?

This was a great primer. I have a senior diabetic cat. It’s not unlike trying to manage diabetes for a toddler. He might eat all his food, he might not. He might eat and throw up an hour later… it’s a tricky disease to manage. He’s had a fe

I’m guessing this author doesn’t regularly order delivery for a family or a group larger than three. If, say, my brother is over I need to order at least 3 pizzas including something vegan and a salad for my wife. Specifying all of that ove

That's a pervasive story that lots of people want to be true, but I can tell you firsthand it's not something you should bank on. I've definitely left jobs because money and only money. I've definitely watched co-workers

And there’s the real problem: a shit ton of people/orgs don’t know what’s in the software they use/ship, and just expect people to DTRT for free, forever.

He didn’t, though. People signed up to a distribution method to run the code and just assumed future updates would be okay. He didn’t push the code to them, they pulled it.

If they’re out of touch with reality, there will be a price adjustment or they’ll fail. Something tells me they’ve done the research to determine what the average person will pay. Looking at some newer films rentals are $4-$6 and “buying” $

They have some of your money, but they want more of it. Mac owners are more likely to buy iPads and iPhones and become embedded in the Apple ecosystem. That draws people into the app stores, which Apple gets a cut of, and into Apple Music a
