It really depends on the type of criticism. People criticize for different reasons, some are constructive and some are not. I feel that the onus of good behavior lies on both the criticizer and criticizee. People should strive to listen to

Yes, I think that the folks who haven't been burned like that before have either not been in the industry for very long, or they have been very, very fortunate in their work environments. Having a supportive work environment that rewar

Caring just as often leads to burnout, since many people wind up dealing with organizational dysfunction. If you truly care and the resultant product gets butchered due to politics or simply killed on an executive's whim despite having

I'm constantly curious whether anyone working in the AI space is cognizant of the Tower of Babel myth. I don't think an arms race for convincing looking bullshit is going to turn out well for our species.

That's a pretty poorly designed switch, if your intention is to turn off the microphone while otherwise using the system. It's better than not having any way to disconnect the microphone, but strictly inferior to any system where

This concept of normalization of deviance gets posted on here a lot, but I'm going to post a link again anyway. https://sma.nasa.gov/docs/default-source/safety-messages/saf...

I just love how half of the responses to you refuse to accept that chronotype is a physical attribute just as real as height or metabolism. I see a "just push through it" and a "stop drinking caffeine" so far, and those

Don't forget that the already beleaguered world of government IT also listens to Gartner. But government doesn't really go out of business when that bad advice leads to bad initiatives, it just becomes even more dysfunctional.

Most of the useful insights in the Devops movement can be derived from knowing Conway's law and thinking about organizational patterns holistically. As usual the success stories get cargo culted by others without understanding the prin

Additionally, this only exists in some magical, fantastical world where the unhoused only have one case worker. In reality the unhoused bounce between a patchwork of government and non-profit services, and because of the soul-crushing workl

After much struggle, I reached the same conclusion. And it gets around the problem of downloading collections only to find that they don't support the version of python on the system you're trying to use it on. But since those col

It's not surprising, actually. The problem with very smart people is that they're often very smart in their particular domains of expertise, but socially they will be treated as just very smart in general. This often leads to an e

Verification was not required as a matter of protocol until a new standard for MTA-STS was published in 2018. Without this new standard configured, as is going to be the case for most organizations out there not on the bleeding edge, TLS

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Properly configured https verifies the certificate's CA signature. Now it's true that that's only as secure as the web of trust that is the certificate authority system, but that

TLS without the certificate verification is still vulnerable to MITM. You get basically the same security level with gpg and plaintext email as you do from email over TLS if someone is trying to MITM. Even this REQUIRETLS that you mention t

As someone who has just been tearing my hair out over v1 and v2 cgroups and containers for testing systemd services, I think I need to spend some time in FreeBSD land.

Very insightful and refreshing to see a nuanced take like this. I agree, it's a sick society problem, and blaming just guns or just "mental illness" (as if that's somehow unconnected from society as a whole) misses the b

For sure, that overall number could vary a lot, and this really needs further breakdown that distinguishes between more minor, annoying effects versus fairly life altering ones (like new diabetes or significant kidney damage). There was ano

I think the parent poster might also be talking about consequences, such as this gem that the CDC dropped recently. 20% of the working age adult population possibly having new onset long term health effects. Oops! (And that's not even

You can use jinja expressions inline with your Ansible tasks' yaml if you want to as well. As for whether that's a good idea or a mess to read is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I do it only as a last resort, but it has bee

They've already embarked on making one of those huge grid-balancing battery facilities here and I'm sure more will follow. Likely they're waiting for the inevitable Texas grid fuckup that's even worse than 2021 to happen

Texan to Texan, you're not wrong. It's just corruption and hypocrisy, top to bottom.

I think a much better guardrail would be better context. Unfortunately much of the average population may not be interested in that so much as getting their rage or cute animal picture hit, and that's going to be a huge societal challe

It might empty out if that happens and be the end of it, but I know that the prospect of a forum for discussion that isn't constantly trying to poke the outrage center of my brain sounds very appealing and I think that would be the cas
