Unfortunately a new job, even 5-8 miles away, may turn a then-5 minute commute into a 45m-1hr commute in many metropolitan areas. I think more management needs to realize that forcing in-person isn't inherently beneficial. There can be

Siri will tell you how by giving you the exact steps and a link to the documentation. I just tried it on 18.1 Beta.

But why bother learning this as a skill? The time value simply does not exist despite the tech-bubble’s hype. Let’s look at real-world usage. Two of the most grueling tasks most people encounter in a year are filing taxes and understanding

I don’t know. What’s weird is that I think it is up to the campaign to make sure they have valid contact information. So I suppose there is a risk that the campaign might get dinged?

How are tips immune from the inflationary effect you’re describing? If a government mandates a higher wage or if 90% of a society voluntarily contributes tips, the effect is the same. At the end of the day, the customer is likely paying an

Actblue requires a phone number and email address. As far as I know, physically mailing a check is the best way to avoid sharing information as you only need to provide your name, address, and employer. This information is the only federall

What is your experience with construction or working on docks to make this assumption? Assuming that because someone may arrive home with some debris and grease does not mean the work is directly transferable.

This is either disingenuous or ignorant of reality. Yes. Your Econ 101 class may have taught you jobs will shift. Econ 101 does not give you the case study of a 45 year old worker who finds themselves having to restart their career. So yes,

Or they’ll do the bare minimum and remain checked out. I’ve seen both types of people stuck in their position. And working harder/longer doesn’t guarantee any degree of quality either.

The last sentence reads as rather entitled. Photography and art do take skill and effort. Artists should be compensated instead of random internet commenters demanding free pretty pictures. …that said. $50/yr with 50% margins going to

I don’t think Apple was too late at all. In all the hype, nobody asks “how does this help $family_member in their day to day”. I’ve used generative AI to help with writing documents and code. I think it’s fun for creating and modifying imag

I’ve worked on a project a long time ago where we did this with BerkeleyDB files. BDB was used to store configuration data that was frequently looked up. Periodically we would run a full sync to replace the database. Between the periodic fu

Have you worked on any vehicles? You do realize that cars have never had these open standards and that parts interoperability has varied wildly even within the same manufacturer? Even if you had the parts, a number of carmakers have made it

I'm unsure how this meaningfully addresses the problem here. "Open" doesn't mean it's engineered well.

Someone who defends the insanely slow speed of US innovation with consumer finance has not spent any amount of time talking to folks outside of the US. There is this wild myth that the US is the only true developed economy. The US is incre

They didn’t do federation with XMPP. At best you could use Pidgin or other XMPP clients. That doesn’t count as any form of embrace. XMPP is a needlessly complex protocol with very poor organization and planning that, in the process of tryin

This isn’t an exclusively remote problem though. This happens in-office, too. It’s extremely easy to pad a week with meetings, “I’m checking/organizing my email”, “I need to double check code from last week”, etc… if you wanted to burn

My coworkers are extremely wonderful people, however we aren’t friends. It is possible, and in many places quite easy, to make local friends without relying on coworkers. Facebook Groups has been very helpful to find local groups.

I’ll give you Dailymotion, but… Vimeo hasn’t tried being a direct YouTube competitor in years — just look and use their site at any point after 2014? 2016? It’s been a while. While I’d like to see PeerTube succeed, it is hardly a competitor

This is unnecessarily pedantic. Personifying the behavior of a company is not some new concept. It’s actually rather common. Because a company itself cannot express emotions, the externally facing visible decisions are used as a proxy. For

Coddling != taking issue with “but have no idea about the standards for” I’ve seen more than enough code from folks with combative takes to know “[their] shit don’t shine” either.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s even possible to have an objectively unbiased reporting of this. The moment you have to simplify any information, you’re introducing bias. For example, I wasn’t a fan of how the income tax bracket levels were chos

So just switch to Linux from Windows and immediately start deviating from distribution-supported defaults… This suggestion comes up implicitly in a lot of weird hardware cases. It really isn’t a selling point for a user wanting a good first

Are you seriously willing to volunteer, or is this expecting that others step up where you’d fail? It’s awfully easy to demand expectations from others behind the safety and comfort of a desk.

No need to jump into this ring of assumptions built onto assumptions (plus, what pre-IPO company is reading an Econ 101 textbook on Macroeconomics…?) As you near an IPO, you’d want to make your business look like it’s quite profitable to pr

This wouldn't be RFC work, this would be sysadmin work. Probably not the worst use of time, but you'd need to find interested students and faculty year-over-year.

Oath.vote supposedly does not sell information but it's a shame they don't get nearly as much attention as ActBlue. Perhaps it's time for people to start mailing cash and checks to campaigns instead of using online portals. T

How are the forces being undersold here? A large-scale property management company can drastically influence the market without needing to fully capture it or even hold a majority. Let's say of a given market, 30% of all units are owne

The US does not guarantee these rights either. “Free speech” is so ambiguously defined in the US that it’s effectively meaningless. The US has had over two centuries of ambiguously defined “free speech” rights at many different levels, any
