I argue that is the same with tech. Most of these companies are full of people who know how to get hired and get promoted, without actually doing anything, or knowing anything. This is even more so with large companies built in the early 2

I am trying to convey it's not about leeway, it's a yes or no. If you are asked can you get this done in 2 days, and you think "yes, but if I skip test", then your answer is "no, you can't get it done in 2 days

You have to start with test first -- just make them "the task". Don't give estimates separated by test and features. New feature at hand? First thing you code is the scaffolding to call or trigger new feature (this may be tri

I realize this, I was just saying the "good" also seemed just as bad as the bad. Specifically to cause that seemed opportunistic and fear based driven.

This sounded like more bad actually.

Just because big tech does something g does not mean it is driven by law. It’s more likely they simply want to know less, as knowing less can limit liability. Simply put. If you did not know x y or z about the candidate, then the candidate

Just use Nix. I have my entire Mac setup in a single set of declarative files, including custom compile of Emacs ans all of my config. It takes maybe 20 minutes to have a new Mac up and running. 10 if on fast internet.

I was interested. But I got slammed with a bunch of pop ups that took over the screen. Sites dead to me and I won’t by their product. I don’t care how cool it is.

Sorry thought I was on Blind. > In early 2016 I wrote to the European Commission requesting a formal legal clarification I don't think their opinion is law. The law is the law and until it is it is tested in the courts it is not ill

Your broad interpretation of the law is silly. 99% of the scripts sent to the browser are not required, we could just live in a text world. Privacy is about reporting information back to somebody or collecting information. A script running

You just declared a bunch of stuff illegal without even knowing a thing about them. Scripts are continuously accessing browser state. It’s what web sites do. She. You visit a site you give consent to the site to run its code on your system.

The idea that this anti blockers is a privacy issue is silly. The idea that somebody can afford to give something away is just insane. It also shows how little you know about the cost of running a streaming service.

I think that is the point. The bots and “product experts” failed to do their job. And as agents for working for Google failed Google.

Do you work there? I don't but I know a few people who do. From what I can tell the "toxicity" is holding people to a level of expectations. Blind is full of stores of people getting pipped, yet people I know who worked there

In 3 years… “Uber saved cost by migrating their micro service to their own colo.” followed by “Uber simplified operations by migrating their micro service platform to a monolith”.

Nobody cares what you know or don’t know, oe even what you intend. That is not the contract. Your expectation don’t matter. At the low level you are sayin “download whatever this web server sends me and execute it”. If the users intent matt

It’s because cars are programmed differently I default to radio. No matter what. My car turns the radio on. There is no mode to turn it off and not have it turn back on the next ride.

Are you not worried about other long term damage from not having wet eyes?

But that is just it. The act of saying "hey, give me some bytes, and my program will run them" is exactly what you are doing when you view a web page. You are saying "I am going to run this stuff that this IP spits at me&quot

This is kind of silly, because the script that "detects" Adblock could simply be a script that detects that the content sent for the provider is rendered correctly. The "detection" could simply be, this <div> that

I like this stuff, but we got to stop letting google do everything. Why you might ask? Well, it conflicts with their other goals. If we blindly following their directions we can be manipulated to drive by a store that paid to ensure so many

I’ll care more when I can visit a website that does not blast me with a popover requiring me to press something. This is getting out of hand. Some sites have up to 3 separate popovers that demand my attention.

LinkedIn is probably the only one that don’t belong on that list.

Why do you think all the free VPNs are popping up?

Yes. But it can also prove you were near a crime you did not commit and thus used as evidence you did commit it. The problem is you don’t have control over the data. Example. Somebody was killed in a hit and run. PD says “give me all the pe

I don’t buy their “how much taxes are paid” as somebody who is paying over 50% of their income in taxes.
