y3sh··on Why I left Google (HN search results)
Tldr politics, glass ceilings, re-orgs, purposeless/abandoned projects. As a former Googler, I can see why people post these: internally Google is hyper-evangelized as the best place to work ever (why would you work anywhere else). When leaving, its a necessary step to form a good argument for yourself as to why you've decided to go against the culture. The personal spin makes it an interesting read.

United Healthcare... no surprised!

Still in the era of the sharper image. Gimmicky tech with rush-to-market sensationalism.

y3sh··on macOS lock screen: “I just sent my session pass to my whole team”
FWIW this is a known security bug at Apple. I filed a bug about similar behavior where you can see the desktop briefly without logging in. Apple marked it as a duplicate. https://imgur.com/YxXtU2y

Here are the steps to reproduce:

- Start Mac

- Login

- Turn on Screen Lock: System Preferences > Security > General > Check "Require Password" and Select 5 Seconds.

- Turn on Hot Corner Sleep Display: System Preferences > Mission Control > Hot Corners > Select upper left > Put Display to Sleep > Ok

- Attach external monitor

- Activate hot corner by dragging mouse to upper left corner of screen

- Wait 6 seconds

- Click the mouse to trigger waking the screen

- See brief flash of the desktop without logging in!

Why isn't this a 10.13.1 update?
y3sh··on Banks scramble to fix old systems as IT 'cowboys' ride into sunset
Not just banks, but large healthcare companies too. This is Accenture's bread and butter -- charging $120+/hr for analysts to reverse engineer COBOL into rules engines, then outsourcing a J2EE implementation. Last time I checked a large healthcare provider was paying over a million/month to maintain a mainframe claim processing system.

Nice font, but too tall and thin for me.
