There’s gotta be an overlap of people who do that and people who pick their phone numbers based on look, right? Which I do. I also recently changed my Tailscale host name (animal-animal.ts.net) and spent enough time cycling through choices to find a short, memorable, and pleasing one that I even started to question how I was spending my time.
a company may very well consider this a “security incident” or other high-priority issue, but at least in my experience, the method of reporting something like this can be vague. While the right answer should be a place to submit a ticket, even internal systems nowadays seem to not let the users set the priority on tickets and instead let L1s try to resolve everything, who may not have the experience to recognize something needs to be elevated. At that point, it seems the only good option is to run the issue up the chain and back down through the right department (which is probably more effective, at the end of the day).
This is something I think about a lot too. I’m interested how you handle verbally communicating an address? Most people probably don’t expect a completely random string. I wonder if there could be an easy “word-sounding” generator that could be integrated into something to manage emails?
But new users already don’t know how to use the UI, so why should it matter? If anything it’ll allow them to get a better idea of where to go if they land on a photoshop tutorial instead of a gimp one.
What exactly makes it so bad? I’m assuming you went into it thinking it was worth the trade for whatever you received, but changed your mind after - what can you tell us to keep us from making the same decision?
Same workflow here on Mac. Working with a few windows devs and don’t have any issues. We deploy into Microsoft .NET containers currently.
Side note, great website! It’s so rare to see such an aesthetically pleasing site on here! Do you happen to have any open source repos where you implement a lot of what you talk about? I’m interested to look under the hood at your code and your versioning system (I’m sure more, too, but I only spent 15 mins on your site so far)
You’re rather quick to criticize, but I don’t see you thanking anyone who provided a better earplug recommendation. You didn’t need to continue to interact if you already knew you were dead-set on not expanding your empathy horizons.
On the surface, sudo seems fairly straightforward, so it’s interesting to hear how much work has gone into it! Do you have any interesting facts or anecdotes you’d care to share?
Another thing to consider is that 20 years ago, you’d be more likely to go up on a cars hood. Nowadays with the average height of vehicles, I’d imagine that more likely than not people will be going under vehicles that don’t stop right away.
This is my feeling as well. People are just trying to get where they’re going. That means, when turning on red, entering the intersection without stopping behind the line first. This almost always means driving straight through the crosswalk as well. And like you said, people have optimized their turning by staring left, prepared to barely even slow down before turning if the coast is clear. No thought is given to a potential pedestrian.
Entering straight into intersections on a red light is an extremely bad habit that the US has. Along with getting rid of right turns on red (80% of pop would still do it), some countries also move the traffic lights to the close side of the street (above the traffic it controls, as opposed to across the intersection), forcing cars to stop further back to be able to see the light. I think that would be a huge impact to traffic patterns that is more physics based rather than legislature based.
I think there's two different types of "tech", and it's cool to have stuff (apple gadgets, social media) but it's still uncool to be into computers. Apparently colleges are having problems because new students have no concept of how to use an actual computer, can't grasp how filesystems work, are used to apps just being a button on the home screen. Modern phones have obfuscated pretty much all back-end stuff save for a few switches on a settings screen.
That's honestly a great idea for an alternative to newsletters... it would be nice if there was better first-party RSS support (what about in the email client?) since I don't think any OSs have it, because right now that would probably confuse most customers
> Microsoft seem to be entering another phase of baiting antitrust regulators
On the "FedEx Accused of Largest Odometer Rollback Fraud" post, llimos says "When did we move to a "do whatever you think you can get away with" model of society?" [0].
Like light_hue_1 says in response, "Because the cost of fraud is far too low and it's now factored into business plans." That seems to be exactly what is happening here too. It's honestly disheartening.
I'm interested to hear why you believe a third-party app developer and multiple groups of moderators have all decided to somehow coordinate a scam against Reddit, and also why you believe Reddit is in the right here? Why is that easier to believe/agree with than the majority opinion expressed on HN?
Last year there were 300 shootings on school grounds [0]. They seem to happen at random - expensive schools aren't necessarily safer than public ones, city vs. rural, etc.
Why is it wrong to have a heightened fear that it could happen at your school? That doesn't need to mean that it is your primary fear, or that you're overwhelmed with fear, only that the concern is higher now than it was X years ago.
What are we doing differently than every other country that makes us have so many more shootings in schools?
There's a third tier, something like "approved submitters." Some subs, especially smaller ones, would randomly add users to the list based on some criteria. These people would be able to browse private subs as well. There's a way to see what subs you've been added to as an approved submitter, somewhere on old.Reddit under the subreddits page
I always appreciate hearing from people who are "like me." You've done well putting this into words, I'm going to save this.
It really is crazy how this medicine helps. I'm on a relatively low dose as well, having tried a few non-stimulants before with rather underwhelming success. I was always scared of going on a stimulant but it's been life-changing.
While I believe the benefits of being remote outweigh the downfalls, I definitely feel that growth as a professional and as an engineer is stunted by being remote. I miss the days of being able to easily ask questions and collaborate, even with people on different projects or in different departments. That, to me, is the biggest downside
Maybe the secret to regulating Roblox is to put it in front of the same people who are trying to regulate children's attendance of drag shows? This may be a case of aligned interests!
Gift cards or an in-between like privacy.com where you can set max-spend on a card number are probably the best method for parents. It should probably be on the platform to suggest features along these lines, as we can't reasonably educate all parents on this, and it's against the individual game dev's best interests to show parents to limit spending (moreso than the platform as a whole)
On safari and chrome I make use of tab groups. I assume Firefox does something similar since they have tab containers. I'll generally go on a spree of 10-20 tabs for an issue, and if I don't solve it, I'll pick a few and containerize and collapse them for later.
I have been perfectly successful without a CS degree (I have a business degree with a focus on Information Systems). With that said, I do wish that I had the foundational knowledge that is taught in CS. I have no knowledge of DS&A, low-level languages, OS, etc. and I have not been able to dedicate the time to learn them outside the structured env of school.
YouTube premium is a great example of a convenience product. My main YouTube consumption has moved from my browser to my Apple TV, where there's no good way to block ads, so I just pay for premium. Added benefit is being able to share ad-free with a few friends. I really don't like giving YouTube the money, but I REALLY don't like seeing ads.
I went through the same thing with a much newer friend. It makes sense to you and me logically, but I agree that there was a feeling of disconnect that ultimately made me back off. I'd rather help financially facilitate more opportunities to have a good time, but it just always seems to come off as an insult or uncomfortable, no matter how it's handled.
I feel like im grossly overpaid for what I do in comparison to the much more impactful work that they did, making roughly half what I do, so in my eyes it's only fair to view it as more of a group thing where we can contribute relatively equivalent amounts rather than strictly split amounts? You know?
