The liquor store wouldn’t be at the top of my list for licensure requirements for software engineers. But what about power plants, cars, trains, aviation, etc. Especially car entertainment systems have been glaring security problems.

In a lot of countries “Engineer” is a protected title. (Same in Germany where “Ingenieur” is protected). The term is usually used for mechanical engineers, and the like. Jobs you can only do with a degree, because if you fail, lives could b

This is a good writeup. I tried paper, maybe I should try it again. I think one benefit of this journaling is that you could easily do a personal retro weekly or so and update a digital brag file. As a manager I loved when reports have a br

If I use my work laptop at home, I even put it in a separate guest WiFi. Since the introduction of an Endpoint Management system it essentially became an untrusted device.

Mhm. I find the list of minimum annual leave by country interesting. [0] Seems like companies are not obliged to honor this holiday. Personally I think national holidays are probably having a positive impact, because it will give almost all

Soliciting via emails scraped from git commits. There seem to be tools that help recruiters identify email addresses based on GitHub profiles. I never asked for that. Please don't do it, it is even illegal in Europe. Furthermore it is

Ran into the same problem with my a recent website. I think I am still going to create at least one smaller version for mobile. Additionally to your technique I defined a really small image as a background image in order to get a “progressi

Even if the person in the video call doesn’t have an ID, the IT support person could: - compare the person with an ID on file - invite the manager or a colleague of the person into the call to confirm - ask for PII (birthdays, address) that

Germany just passed a law that forces Amazon, eBay (or any platform) to be transparent about who you are buying from (company / individuals). Additionally they need to be transparent about how they rank search result and whether the re

Just do a video call with the employee when they request e.g. MFA resets. Have a policy that enforces that. Maybe have them show an ID.

Seems like a false assumption. According to wiktionary it comes from „banca rotta“ where rotta goes back to Latin „rumpere“ which means „to break“. Whereas the English rotten or the German go back to old Norse „rutna“ (to rot). The two don’

English is my second language and Latin my third. While the latter is not as useful as learning Spanish or French in day to day communication, it really helped my English capabilities as a lot of words in English are Latin based. My favorit

Well the ad has had it’s effect. Hey this seems like an interesting appliance, tech gadget, item for camping or toy for a child. And then after some use and the novelty wore off it isn’t really that useful anymore.

Interesting. I just dislike ads altogether. Especially Instagram feels very manipulative. So far nothing we have bought based on Instagram or Facebook ads has been useful in the long run. Personally I prefer to either have a need for someth

Have you tried taking time off without doing anything work related for two or three weeks? Not even checking work messages. Personal anecdote: Had some longer leave last year (8 weeks consecutive), came back to work and felt energized and r

Wouldn’t that make things intransparent for the students and the universities/colleges would just raise the tuition? Universities already have problems getting journal access for reasonable prices. At least here in Germany textbooks ar

Hey. Just had a quick look on mobile as I am on the go and it looks nice and clean. Generally I’d recommend having Vue as a peer dependency for these kind of libraries as this might prevent having two versions of Vue in the dependency graph

There are German companies where the email server doesn’t deliver Emails until the next morning. This obviously works best if all are in one time zone, but it’d be amazing if one could set: working from X to Y and emails just stop arriving

Well a COVID pass would still be useful inside the EU, e.g. I can leave the yellow vaccination pass at home, can show it when coming home from outside of the EU or if I go somewhere where a negative test or vaccination is required.

Reading through the comments I think one point wasn’t really touched on. I think everyone has a limited amount of funds available for charity. Certain non-profits are more well funded than others _and_ there are more efficient charities aro

Recently upgraded from a slow Fire TV to an Apple TV. The Apple TV can control the TV via HDMI and turn it on. Integration on other Apple Devices is good as well.

Had a few courses at Uni with Comic Sans in the slides. So apparently Comic Sand is a very legible font. Maybe that’s the reason so many people choose it or they just like it.

The thing that really changed my perspective was a comment on HN: 20% reduction in work days means 50% increase in off days. Personally I have the feeling that I need like a day to disconnect from work topics and focus on other things, so t

I think you are right on one hand, on the other hand I expected certain customers to have IE11 support as a requirement on paper.
