As someone who used to run an illegal video index, this is not true at all. YouTube had virtually zero enforcement. You could upload whole shows and movies and they were never taken down. Other sites like Google Video or Vimeo did go above

I regularly take authority and you’re right about how people can feel, but that’s where your social skills come to play. Your average person doesn’t even take authority. The next “level” per se (not that you have to take authority — only if

I believe this is not a question that can be asked. Recently I pushed a change straight to production by myself with no approval and violated many rules but it saved us and carried us for weeks. Worse case if it broke, rollback would happ

I agree with what your saying but I believe this applies to everything in life. From what you do at work or say to your friends to whether you break a writing rule or whether you jump a fence. When you observe people in their element, you c

Everyone knows this. But without looking at the direct rules of the system, this is the best you can do. It’s not like you can just open the source code of the universe. You observe and make a theory that explains the observations, then the

Yeppp. That’s why I started checking. If you don’t catch it early, you’re not going to find it. Sometimes it also just gets stuck in some clothes and it doesn’t fall out on its own too. If I’m missing a sock, I give my clothes the ol’ shake

I used to lose stuff and I also grew up in a hoarder house. I ended up having a place for everything as mentioned in the article. In the last 10 years, I have not actually lost a single thing. I’m actually pretty proud of myself. I also hav

Personally I feel like some things that have clear chunks of work are best goal-oriented like “reading through this book” while nebulous goals require a process-oriented method of thinking. That said, I don’t think you should really worry a

I don’t know if I agree that it’s unnatural. It only takes doing index73.php and index_old3.php for a few months and then eventually screwing up (unless you’re perfect) to realize how dumb putting numbers and _old4 at the end of names is. T

Did the public ever read published papers until recently? I can’t imagine most people having access to any publications until the Internet and late 90s at minimum. My local library did not exactly have access to journals either. I don’t thi

There just isn’t. You just have to read enough of one source to determine your own opinion. Just like with anyone you meet: you are the judge if they are trustworthy, nice, mean, funny, etc. That said, I think tech journalism is the bottom

Have to disagree. I tried Flow irrespective of marketing and didn’t think it was polished. Kept running into type situations that the language didn’t support well. Kept bugging out in my IDE. Had no elegance.

In my opinion, it's largely because American cities are new. If you are building a new city, you do not start with high density. Individual developers start with the cheapest build out because no one will pay a premium for a multi-leve

How come no one ever looks at population density? US cities have very low density compared to other cities in other countries. New York is the exception, and their transit isn't that bad. But it's still lower than other major citi

Personally while I value excellence, I reduce the frequency of errors through process and procedure because I’m lazy. I don’t mind meetings but being in a 4 hour emergency meeting because some due diligence wasn’t done is a waste of my time

I don’t see how this is that newsworthy. There are many federal agencies. One of them will fuck up. Same with private companies. If you have 100 people doing the same thing, at least one of them is going to fuck it up.

Well it’s as if you put your data in Salesforce and Salesforce got breached… maybe you’re bad at picking vendors but the real loss of trust would be on Salesforce. In this case, Snowflake was also the cause for the Ticketmaster and Lending

Private companies get breached often too (see AT&T). Pretty much everyone gets breached. The only ones I don't think get breached deep are the really big software engineering companies where most of the company are also software en

I suppose if I’m doing nothing, I’ll drink 8 cups in a day. But most days when I’m out and about, I’m drinking about a gallon. And if it’s hot, it’s more. There was a short and dumb period where I started buying plastic waste bottles and I
