Anything having to do with parental controls or kids accounts on windows is just the worst. It’s not just Microsoft but they clearly give no shits about supporting those scenarios. It’s a box to check for them that something resembling parental controls exists.

I’ve given up trying.

Apple actually does a serviceable job there, so that’s where I’ll stay until they’re older.

What’s up with that btw? Noticed the same myself.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but how do we know that?

I’m pretty good about going to bed every night and manage to get through the ritual of putting on pajamas at the same time as I put my watch on its charger.

It’s never been an issue.

As with all things, your usage is the thing that matters. I haven’t worn a watch longer than a day even when watch batteries lasted literal years and sleep tracking doesn’t interest me (I sleep like the dead - it’s great). So whether it’s 3, 5, 7 or more… anything after about a day is just a flex and isn’t particularly interesting to me.

I have trouble sympathizing with either side here. I’m not dialed into the issue, but I imagine that the homeowners in the area are property-tax paying members of the community with just as much voice as anyone else in the community.

It’s also not like there’s nowhere else on earth to put a school campus either. They’d hardly be the first school with multiple campuses that are separated if they didn’t insist on building it where they currently are.

Is that a reference to the game Uplink?

Are the hikers considered intrusive, or just the drones?

That’s Not Invented Here syndrome, and it’s decidedly bad advice.

The cost of dependency management may be understated but it’s always less than the cost of reimplementing everything found in established libraries.

I’m not that old but I also never did online dating. Is there a possibility that online dating has a bias for women that are “choosy” (for lack of a better term)?

It’s an interesting thought experiment to wonder if consumer protections extend to defects from state sponsored acts of espionage.

Or M hoses.

I attribute this to the pervasive publishing model where anyone can submit an article to any publication, and as long as the topic lines up with current events, then the editor is just a bot that is checking for spelling and the headline being clickable.

So the only games left would be worth paying for? Sounds good. Let’s get started.

Opinions are valid, for sure. I can tell you that I’m a happy slack user at a company of just over a hundred thousand.

I haven’t regularly used teams in about a year, but I would legitimately consider passing on a job offer where they used it.

In a thread where many folks are talking about using the best tools for a job, teams is never the best tool for any form of digital communication.

There was a time when this was the case (and electron was the punching bag for critics at the time, iirc) but I don’t think this criticism is fair anymore. Slack is quite responsive and performant these days.

I know nothing about scientific publishing. Why is Nature still considered prestigious, if they often publish things that are wrong?

I wonder if it’s the engineering roles drying up or the amount of spammy recruiters has decreased.

Anecdotally, I know a number of recruiters (some were even good ones) that got cut in recent years.

Honest question: do you have resources or materials that you could refer me to so that I could learn more about how this part of the pr/publishing industry works?

I don’t doubt you, and it sounds like one of those “seedy underbelly of the industry” kinds of things that I’d be interested in knowing more about.

It would demonstrate arguing in bad faith, certainly.

It was never decided by a single person. We always did a 5-15m debrief, consisting of about 4 people (hiring manager, 2 interviewers, hr to facilitate and maybe a shadow 2), between interviews on the day.

That’s still not going to crack 10Gbps.

Still cheaper than golfing.

Probably more like a local maxima.

Can you honestly answer that question for literally anything you’ve ever bought, in your life?

You’re running faster than 10Gbps on wireless? How’s that?

I used to work at a medium sized firm (~2B revenue) and we had a policy where the candidate had an offer or a rejection (with reason) before they left the office.

It was hard turning folks down, and it pushed us to have very crisp reasons for saying no, but I think it made us better interviewers and more humane in the process.

Tell that to every government contractor. Many companies (that I'd wager you wouldn't take issue with) exist due to the contracts they have with a single government organization.

As long as the bills proposing tax increases also contain where the tax money is going to be allocated, I'd be all for it. America's track record for directing tax money towards the public good, is poor.

If the contents of the call are kept private, there’s no legal burden.
