Employees as "resources" I've heard of, but employees as displacement or maybe even ballast? Damn! That's a new one by me.

That's not how it works in practice. If anything, it pre-filters the next group of haters so you don't have to deal with them in the future, but it also lines up the sensible people.

Oh, this is something. https://web.archive.org/web/20210227065320/https://basecamp.... Lots of little avatars, right? https://basecamp.com/about/team Lots of missing avatars now!

This is probably for the best. Actual engineering (and actual engineers) and Lyft are two very different animals.

Go back in time on Street View and you'll see it was a Conrail family assistance center (?)... so maybe they used that to talk to the trains. Look at the elements on that tower and looks an awful lot like stuff I've seen out the

2009 leaked. Tweeted while most of us were still in line. Still got the screenshot. <name> One thousand dollar impromptu cash bonus. I work for Google!! ... October 16th. Dumb.

2009 was both. Cash a few months before, N1 right before Christmas.

It makes me wonder why that DNS server is being that way. Switching away from it just sidestepped the issue.

You could probably record the band with a SDR from another location and just replay it on a loop. Both time and space measurements would be affected. But you really don’t want to do this in any way that could possibly leak out. You will ma

First they track you, then they pander to you, then they sell you out completely. Guess we just got to step 2.

Did you watch Silicon Valley? What do you think about sitting on the roof with a Slurpee (or a Big Gulp)? Would you rather be building stuff?

by rachelbythebay 6y ago
Yeah, pretty sure that's the tracking pixel. What the hell is it doing there?

(GNU) tar xf is smarter than you might realize these days. Try leaving off the z or j or whatever and just watch.

This tells me that your culture says "I want to see what you look like before I even think about hiring you". That tells me all I need to know about your so-called company culture.

Sure. You'll be offered the lowest thing they think you'll still take. Whether that means not giving you a vanity title, or low-balling you on salary, equity, or other things, they'll try it.

> Now I’m fully aware that it’s not unusual to see ads placed around a TV’s home screen or main menu. This kind of acceptance is the problem. Push back! Don't buy this shit.

Upside of being a token X: sometimes you get enough cash out of it to be able to leave it behind again. This only works if they get to trot you out. So get used to that bridle. Downside of being a token X: normally they just keep you arou

Unfortunately, this is not new. I've seen it multiple times on Macs over the years when starting Firefox on a new install. My comment has always been "guess they want to get spanked Microsoft-style". Really, it's poor

Have you seen what happens with YAML when you try to do something like country: xx ... and get to Norway?

Google accounts, 2009, "Nishit", among others. Google Plus, 2011. Everything you can imagine. Lyft, 2019, all kinds of regexes. Worst part is when I asked them "can I get you to commit to never, ever attempt this sort of thi

The Mountain View-Alviso Goat Transporter needs to know. Try searching the web for it.

IQAir GC MultiGas models do both. There's the 'prefilter' on the bottom (inlet), a big fan in the middle, and a bunch of gas filter canisters on top.

You just unblocked two elder folks in my family. Thank you.

Yup. PIC locks for the win. Also, it was neat to use the equal access codes to dial around and see what numbers mapped to what carriers, and what their "welcome to XYZ" recordings sounded like. Ah, being a kid and being bored.

1-700-555-4141 used to tell you who was set up as your primary interexchange carrier. It might still if you're on a truly old-school land line.

How about “leaves the industry rather than have to use terrible things at dumb companies”, thus giving a survival bias that selects for shiny. I know I feel that way about a lot of stuff now.

Those damn books. They keep showing up and making life miserable for people. "How to Cargo Cult".

What if you build that into the protocol? Having to set up on Mars in order to double-spend something would make it rather difficult for most people.

Make sure putty isn’t expecting hardware flow control if your device doesn’t support it. Otherwise it’ll probably refuse to write to the port. And yeah, rotate through the available speeds if necessary, but this sort of thing should be docu
