They certainly allow you to learn. I'm able to tell my manager I'll spend a sprint(s) tinkering with build performance or reading stuff that's relevant to our work (i.e. the Goog SRE book).

I've only read the link and the sample pages slightly, but this feels hyperfocused on advancing your career. Somehow the existence of books like these makes me depressed... is that rational? I just picture the future of tech being all

also I suck with car knowledge, but I believe the hot tire pressure is different from when they're cold. Perhaps the car's software doesn't take that into account?

So IOW, he wasn't very funny, and his writers mostly gave him his funny segments, like New York vs Chicago Pizza, Bullshit Mountain, etc? Do you have a link to support that claim? (I'm even more shocked bc I don't enjoy any o

One offtopic comment from me, sorry-- I took one look at the page, it said "pdf" with an open button, and I hit the back button... Am I the only paranoid one??

I have no management experience, but I wonder if there's a certain level up the ladder where one person just can't do most/all things well? There are so many problems and teams, even being accountable to a fraction of them wo

I'm wary about even Googling it because I swear I heard you are tracked in the US for even Googling it, or downloading it, or even reading on Wikipedia. It sounds laughable when I type it to be honest, but hey. I feel I have better hil

I didn't see other responses like mine, so I wanted to share that "why" was really important for me, not just how. I was afraid of disconnecting, and I wanted a really good reason. Well, recently my headaches and itches have

On everything related to data privacy and Big Tech, I must admit I'm mentally blocked on one point. How do most people think of this? I'm not sure most Americans, for example, know or care about this topic. There are broadly relat

I'm guessing 2012 because I thought that was the year they stopped doing brain teaser interviews, which were very controversial at the time. Googling it now, the exact year is fuzzy -- like, they originally stopped in 2006, but onl

I suspect there is a large difference between "old Google" and "new Google" (maybe there is a cutoff year, like... 2012? I don't know.). I would love to compare people who passed the old interviews and worked at old

There are two extremes I'm familiar with: - sticker shock from the bill - like, holy fuck, I was supposed to have insurance. Why is my provider taking back its coverage a year later? (May be called a "takeback" as customer su

Maybe they could send my test scores to college applications without charging a fee, using a tracking pixel? :) I seem to remember having to pick and choose where my scores went, maybe with a fee.

I guess one of the other ways is: "have a phone because it's required for website accounts and work -- don't do anything on it." Talk to your friends and family in person, which is _kinda_ arguably healthier. No social m

It's not the same, but the most recent games aren't total disasters IMO. I liked the character story quests in SW: The Old Republic, for example -- Jedi Knight's storyline was enjoyable. (Plus the game is f2p.)

Provided you use mods and community patches, sure. I had to replay all of Nar Shaddaa, and kept getting the bug where it's skipping all the dialogue. (Also, I felt my ending was underwhelming.)

The article presented no evidence of other countries getting access to that data. Just a 48yo American engineer who allegedly shouldn't have had access. Of course, someone could've snooped on his home network, I guess.

I only saw this mentioned in 1 other top-level comment -- ChatGPT (and yes, sorry, you may be sick of hearing about it). There's a perspective starting to come up, ie ChatGPT is ruining take-homes. This tweet[1] is one example from the

I called Xfinity the other day for a fried modem, and wanted a service technician to come out. Of course, they want to prevent that as much as possible. Anyway... This led to a fun AI call when I insisted on getting a technician. Hearing &q

That's a good point, and you're spot-on about the Route53 zone. I did close my AWS account already. I'm hoping it just kind of doesn't renew that domain name.

Free will/choice is one thing. I think there are also plenty of people that grow up totally obsessed with their art and feel they need to be a part of it, like they have to go to Columbia Uni to write or act, or be a historian, etc. It
