It was such a dumb idea that many folks decided to trade their capital for it, including you.

Switching from vpns to zero-trust networking is as analogous as switching from coal to renewable energy insofar as both of those things involve change. That’s where the analogy ends.

Burnout comes from within, in my experience. Once I learned to manage others expectations of me more proactively, and stopped letting myself be overworked, I haven’t had issues with burnout. Sometimes that may lead to being fired.

Ok, but we’re talking about flying commercially, in case you missed all the context clues.

Contingency plans are not my concern or problem. If the airline has to fly a plane without a person in every seat, so be it. That is good customer service to me — not abusing me so they can eke out more dollars per flight.

A little imagination goes a long way: - poison in the bedroom is someone’s bedside medicine that would be fatal to someone that wasn’t prescribed it. - some people have ceremonial/sentimental knives on display, above a mantle for exam

More than one person can be in a room at one time I think.

Nearly every aspect of flying in the US is abusive. Over-booking a flight should be illegal. I don’t care about being compensated for it - if I book a flight, that seat should be mine. I’m wondering what else it will take for me to refuse f

I don’t know, I don’t use any of there services. I just noticed on the app page that Threads will request what looks like everything.

Make sure you note all of the data they link to you in the privacy section. This app is no different from instagram or fb in that regard.

I have found myself thinking about this as well the more my career matures. It’s a great thing to consider.

I’ve definitely taken positions due to the work the business was doing, not because of compensation. +/- 25k stops mattering at some point.

Somehow millions of us live here without living in the type of world that our mainstream media portrays. We have our issues for sure, but you’re kidding yourself if you think the USA is not an amazing place to live with incredible diversity

You're saying "can't" like your points are technical limitations instead of product choices. For what it's worth, my brand new washing machine still can't make my morning coffee, either.

"e-waste consumption slabs" really does a disservice to all of the art that has been created with these devices (visual, auditory, textual), all of the communities that have been built by information sharing and network effects, e

Why is visually navigating a directory tree superior to telling the computer "show me photos of my family" and having it do a better job than I manually good?

A counter-datapoint of one, from me: I don't miss the file system browser at all. I have been a little bewildered by the iOS "Files" app, and the addition to the sharing widget of "Save to Files" - I never use it. I

You can create your own community. Rarely will anyone else do it for you.

As food for thought: relationships are often greater than the sum of their parts. My tribe/community/circle enriches my life well beyond the experiences I could have by myself.

I was widowed after 15 years and I have been using dating apps for the last few years and in my experience you are absolutely correct on pretty much everything. I know who I am and what I like. I advertise that on my profile and I take folk

They are being pretty agile and releasing something for iOS and will iterate to release a custom iPad version later, relying on the fallback mechanism that has existed for years for app scaling. Why does this upset you so much? Just because

You can call it that if you want, but it’s not the same as goalpost shifting for well-definable things like “universal healthcare” or “trans rights”. We don’t collectively agree on what artificial intelligence is, so it makes sense that it

Expecting what we collectively call “artificial intelligence” to mimic our own intelligence, which is continuously being refined, does not seem like a quasi-religious belief. Intelligence and consciousness are at the fringe of our understan

I’m one of these skeptics, but it’s not moving the goalposts. These goalposts are already there, in some sort of serial order that we expect them to be reached. It is good that when tech like this satisfied one of the easier/earlier go

As someone who has done a lot of the hiring side for technical positions, I never care about a cover letter. I can't remember the last time I saw one.

Architecture documentation is not just consumed by programmers/coders. I can't imagine showing Haskell (or something similar) to non-technical leadership or during an M&A process. Know your audience. Frankly I would loath tryi
