I'm the same way. I have a hard stop every day at 4:45pm to pick up my kids. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at 4:40pm and I spend the next few minutes taking notes if/when I need to. I might also try to package my curre

Streaming services in particular are driving me crazy. They don't have parental controls. Not really. You can make a kids account or whatever but you can't dictate what can or can't be seen. I'm at a point with streami

Of course not. The average American isn't even 3 months away from being a millionaire. But I've been homeless and today I don't think I could ever experience homelessness again.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily weird, and I'd never call it unprofessional, but I have also been using CI of some shape or form since I entered the industry in the '00s. From home brewed scripts that were cobbled togeth

If I squint my eyes it looks like the sex stuff is being dragged into the sunlight to get a big part of his base (the loud Christian one that outwardly claims they're aghast at infidelity) to reconsider their allegiances.

I want to hear the answer to this, too. I'm back around to Python professionally (haven't touched it since 2016) and I'm working with the basic tooling: pip, requirements.txt, and virtualenv. I'd like to know what sort o

Exactly my experience and what I came here to say. Locking myself in my home office during work hours isn't a solution to this problem. I have to use the bathroom, get water, coffee, eat lunch, take walks, etc. The kids see me and want

This is exactly why my former (pandemic) employer moved from Zoom to Teams. When I was leaving, they were pushing Teams over Slack for text. That business has ~5,000 global employees. The move was simply a cost savings measure. Loss of prod

I think this is close. IMO, the problem is that we're talking about a group of concepts using vague language. Is it an estimate, a target, or a deadline? "Estimate" gets used in place for targets and deadlines all of the time

Maybe it's because Americans don't have any real time off in their lives, I don't know, but I don't find the thought of sitting down to a "fancy dinner" while road-tripping appealing at all. I've criss-cro
