Why are those days gone? I do it all the time in an organisation with 10,000 employees. I obviously agree with the parent poster in that you should only do such things with users that have only the right amount of access, but that’s what ha

I always found it odd that people expect tech companies to be leaning either way. Their goal is to be as good friends with whoever has power as possible. If they cared about ethics they wouldn’t have the supply chains or be in the markets t

Your 90ies must have been very different from mine. IRC operators, forum moderators and what not happily banned people back then. It’s not like you could even take your bullshit to your own channels or sub forums if it was bad enough, becau

Well yes, part of it is that you talk through the results with the HR consultant and hiring manager, so you can talk about whether you agree with the results or how they see them and such.

Being in the public sector, doing our 3rd party integration and being from Denmark gets me the joy of having to deal with a lot of relatively different APIs of very varied quality and æøå in names. Sometimes when people think they are using

Interesting that it scored me as: ESTP 0.993968 ISFP 0.003365 ENFJ 0.000944 ISTJ 0.000374 INTJ 0.000271 Which is actually rather accurate to how I test. My work profile is ESTP, my private life profile is ISFP. The weights are obviously off

I’m surprised they’re arguing about which method annoys the drivers less. You’d think that if the goal was to stop us from speeding, wouldn’t the best method then be to annoy us as much as possible? It’s purely anecdotal, but if my car made

Yes and no. I bought a 2018 MBP to replace my 2016 MBP. After about a year I sold it (another nice feature of Apple stuff is that you can actually sell it for reasonable prices in my country), and I’m now back to using my 2016 MBP. So it’s
