Can you explain your reasoning? If the deleted file was not shared with anyone else, how is this a “massive invasion of privacy” What law is being broken? This is a bad bug for sure but there have been far worse bugs that have actually leak

Short stints later in one’s career can simply mean that person has the experience to quickly identify a dead end role and the network and resume to easily jump to something better. I understand this can look like a “weaker hire” to an emplo

That doesn’t scan for me. We call it car theft and thousands of cars are stolen every day that are properly locked and parked, even in the owners driveway. Banks are notorious for adopting new technology at a glacial pace, often only when f

This functionality seems completely unnecessary to me. I just had a Navien tankless heater installed and the recirculating feature works wonderfully and needs no IoT app or internet connection at all. It feels like we are in a wilderness pe

Not willing to pay the $100 is a choice you can make, absolutely But to frame this, again, as some steep expense that prices out young talent is very weird. Developing for android or Linux is not free. You need to have a lot of resources al

Framing this expense to hobby programmers as a “$100/year loss” seems opposed to the entire concept of a hobby. Everything will be a loss; it’s a hobby. If you are doing it to profit then it’s a side gig or an actual job. What kind of

If we are talking about tuning for a specific workload, what’s wrong with that? If your in-house DBA doesn’t have the experience to perform the specific tuning required, then that’s what support contracts are for The documentation can’t cov

I absolutely hate any homework a firm wants to impose on me. I’m usually juggling multiple interviews and don’t have time for that (especially when they’ll just ghost you at the end). But I get it. It’s so expensive for everyone involved i

If you didn’t tell the second one that you just had this exact question, then that’s understandable I’ve been on both sides of this. Occasionally mistakes on the recruiting side means two people get scheduled to do the same facet. I’ve also

Yeah he is a legend in the horror and sci-fi genres but neither of which are too lucrative We get what we deserve. Nowadays if your movie is not PG-13, a franchise, or both it’s tough to get financing so these original and unique works have

Here’s a more practical definition of mainstream: CA has only 1 fast charging station per 5 gas stations, and they are by far the most kitted out state And the biggest footprint of those is Tesla, which still is restricted to only Teslas An

I have done the second drive a handful of times. The Anderson Rd and Airport Way Walmarts are your best bet for DCFC. When temps are above 110, which is at least a month of normal summer weather, you will be lucky to have 2/5 chargers

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the CMS space but I thought Wordpress had dozens of plugins for caching even 10 years ago. I mean, even just hopping over to host your site in Wordpress.com was a viable option if you were in that mi

The Electrify America experience is pulling into the far corner of a Walmart parking lot, and often waiting for one of the working units, or struggling for 10 minutes to even start one. The reliability is terrible and perhaps forcing VW to

EVs are mainstream now? Try planning a trip from Seattle to Madison, WI and let me know how normal that feels for you. Try driving from Mt Shasta to Sacramento in 115 degree heat and see how many fast chargers are working on I-5 I don’t thi

Not OP but old thinkpads are usually at the top of the list for good cheap Linux machines They are durable and ubiquitous no-nonsense work machines. I just picked one up for $300 and can do all the dev work I need

You are right, the only way to win is not to play. Leave your cell phone at home. But that’s not practical for most people and anybody can get talked to by authorities for any reason at all. When that time comes, folk need to know how to re

Yeah “100 miles from a border” includes the majority of people living in the west coast states. Millions of people can have their rights waived by a border patrol agent in their own homes Twenty years ago talk like this would be whacko cons

In today’s climate of protests this is something everyone needs to know. Police will detain and drop charges the next day simply to clear the area, and in the meantime they can seize your devices and look through them. In the US, border pat

1password has a URL field. All you have to do it add the extra URLs Better yet, while on mobile, search for the entry of the desktop site and have it fill. 1password will ask if you want to update the entry for this site

I have been using passkeys for a while in the form of yubikeys Best practice is to register two keys to every website. Keep one physically in a safe. With password managers I would say the same basic practice applies. Make sure you have a w

Very few of these public status pages are tied directly to the metrics. They get updated when an internal incident has been created, triaged, and a comms person has put together the status message to communicate. I mean, think about it, wou

Every auto detailing product you see on the shelf has instructions to wash your car in the shade. You don’t want the product to dry out while you are applying it. This has nothing to do with the CT specifically and it’s actually embarrassin
