I have read things like this from time to time here about bad experiences: > I had no interaction with my manager and she was refusing to have regular 1:1 meetings with me and was not responding to my emails. Seriously, this is the most

I'm just skilled labor. I'm a milling machine operator, except instead of a CNC machine making, idk, table legs, I'm writing a thing to filter some database result based on some user input from a web page. I am not doing poet

We had to delay rolling out one of the more recent Mac OS releases (Catalina, maybe) because it used the more secure “encrypt the data and throw away the key” instead of “write 0 to the sector 5 times” secure delete thing. Microsoft did res

Industry rules preventing beers, bands, and actors from having the same name seem sort-of strange, until you get into technology. Which is weird bc we all fret about "namespace pollution" but see no problem with calling something

How many companies recant on the benefits of remote work and return to offices, how much "geo-pay" gets accepted as "well this is how remote work is now", and probably people burning out of working out of their home offi

the industry aggressively seeks centralization. One browser always ends up taking huge amounts of market share. A small number of sites end up being hubs for large amounts of activity. We then spend forever trying to put the toothpaste back

I would think an i3-type WM would work better since there's less need to move windows around.

Am I the only person who just doesn't have problems with DDG search results? What am I doing wrong (or right), here? I put a thing in and find it. I just don't use Google any more. Genuinely curious why it's working for me an

I had pretty extensive shoulder repair surgery a year and a half ago. I was amazed at how much recovery hurt, and I can't take opioids (too many physical and mental side effects). I ended up smoking a ton of weed. It really helped so

Microsoft has always had a huge developer tools footprint, so it's a natural fit.

I was arguing less for a specific tool, technology, or whatever, and more that the web as platform is constantly in flux and so "throwing it away" makes no sense. You don't stop using the Interstate system bc a stretch of roa

I think giving up on the web is doubly wrong, because these days, the web is constantly changing. Just this week we've seen how QUIC/HTTP3 is a big thing, and it's a leap from HTTP2, and a huge leap from 1.1. We've seen

I've been using something called Intermezzo, which is basically 'baby Ambien'. It's a crazy mild dose, sublingual so you don't need to even get up and swallow a pill. Knocks you out for maybe 4 hours on a good day.

So, how long until we mount a suppressed weapon so the dog can sneak up and do sentry elimination?

I set this up a while ago but never turned it on. I have a very simple web site - it's basically my mixology recipe book - and I started adding https://lunrjs.com to it this weekend. I ended up yak-shaving for the bulk of m

Skepticism is warranted but, did everyone forget about a month (?) ago when an insider and "OG username" people did the bitcoin scam on twitter? It's not an unreasonable assumption that this can happen elsewhere.

yeah, they are also presumably counting on battery technology doing the Moore's Law thing. I didn't say it was a _great_ idea, just guessing at what their vision is.

I think Apple is trying to do the "right thing", which is a future entirely of wireless devices, save for power, mostly. The problem (well, one of them) is not everyone wants BT headphones (and AirPods specifically) or some kind o

Imagine 10k years in the future. 2 aliens arrive on earth, and examine the rubble. "Hey, check it out. They were right on the cusp of developing stardrive". "Weird, what happened? Nuclear war? Climate change?" "Nah,

east of the mississippi there's precious little open/public land; a few places I like to camp around the VA/WV line are often just fire roads that were abandoned. They're now most popular with poachers and teens looking

it's a bit of an intentionally snarky response but any time anyone talks about machines to do it, I always reply: they already exist, they're called _trees_.

it _seems_ to be someone's "open-source intelligence" documentation of NK comms; numbers stations and other secret communications. There also seems to be some propaganda mixed in, with the implication it's also somehow t

I was at Pycon - even at the MS booth! - when the Remote stuff was announced. There was a lot of pushback on why it wasn't open. At the time the story was, opening it didn't provide much benefit at the start, but was possible in t

given the sheer number and scope of Apache projects, it would be nice to have the title mention what it is (eg, "Apache Arrow - in memory analytics - 1.0.0") esp when the linked page doesn't directly say.

This is a strawman. No one reasonable thinks that you can eliminate deaths. But, when all it takes to avoid _the majority_ of fatalities is some mask wearing, hand-washing, and effort on the part of institutions (testing, contact tracking,

not sure if I'm lucky or somehow I disabled something but the trivial script problem isn't affecting me on any of my machines. I am using Homebrew for a large % of command line/scripting so maybe that's why?

same. i was oncall 24x7 for about, I dunno, 8 years? I'd share it with my co-founder, so I'd get a week or two off here and there. It was horrible and in retrospect a really bad decision with the expected outcomes, mostly broken m
