Nothing wrong with it I suppose, it's definitely more difficult for them to use but doable. I haven't really had that many issues with locking down an iPad. The settings for it are pretty buried under "Screen Time" but

I also have a 5-year old, we've given him an iPad that doesn't allow software to be installed via the app store; doesn't allow any websites to be visited and has a screentime set to an hour a day. If he wants something on th

Eh, same thing happened in 2000's and 2010's... it's honestly about 3 years late.

I left frontend engineering for similar reasons. There was a lot of hype in a culture that seemed obsessed with the next big thing to what end I couldn't quite figure out. I blame webpack. But seriously, you may just need to switch thi

Yeah, I do think we’ve overstepped on what we expect police to do for us. It might also correlate with the seemingly endless stories of police overstep and abuse.

The amount of power CPS has in our state is somewhat unbelievable. A friend documented on instagram how during an X-ray of their daughters arm (as she had complained about a dull pain) that they found that she had at one point fractured it.

Most Texas Red Chili's originate from a dish called Chile Colorado with deep roots in mexican cuisine. Chile Colorado is served with tortillas and frijoles (pinto beans), and usually some pickled veggies. At some point its not imposs

I've had a situation at a previous employer where a contract lost its ownership due to a reorg after downsizing. The new org was completely unaware of the contract lapse until services were turned off. The existing contract lapse had

Heroku could have done better. At a bare minimum offering an option to download the existing data for 1-year or convert it to a paid db would have been better options and not brought this type of despise from the community. I still use Her

HR can be a blessing to some employees; there have been one occasion at my previous job where an employee was given an increase simply because HR found they had dropped below the 10th percentile in their salary band. In another situation HR

Honestly if you keep to https://12factor.net/ the only time an SRE will page you is when there’s a cryptic custom error with no runbook. If only I had a dollar for every time some program dereferences a null.

Discrete mathematics was mind blowing for me. It did a great job connecting algebra and propositional logic (think if statements, things being true or false) into a single math theory by showing how binary algebra or set theory accomplish b

Most companies are on a soft or hard hiring freeze right now. Many growth efforts are funded through debt that has recently become expensive. Even if a company doesn’t rely on debt for growth they are probably waiting to see if macro trends

Reading through the comments it appears more than 10 employees of linear are dominating 33 comments. Sorta seems like this is marketing at its sneakiest.

Just curious; where's the source on this? Is this in the US? If so, is it state or federal law, and which law? Edit: Nevermind, it's the 1964 Title VII [Section 703] of the Civil Rights Act. https://www.eeoc.gov/st

It’s basically an enriched dough, similar to a French brioche but you make a roux initially to inhibit gluten formation and make it more, uh, cake like I guess. Basically white bread with more fat, salt, dairy and sugar and less gluten.
