I'm not sure driving is a great analogy to taking/not taking a vaccine or refusing to follow COVID restrictions, but if we do, we also need to consider this: When driving, you can exercise caution and attempt to…

The vaccine does not make you fully immune, and the vaccine does not necessarily prevent you carrying and transmitting the virus. It just makes it less likely to happen (and you're certainly much less likely to become a…
After almost 2 years working from home, I do miss the office. However, crucially, I do not miss my commute. So unless I could afford to live within easy biking/walking distance of the office, I don't see myself going…
Did I say he should have objected, or to get the recruiter reinstated? I find it inappropriate to respond with a smilie when you hear somebody was just fired. Something more neutral like "I appreciate the issue has been…
Sure, but at the very best it means he did not object to somebody getting fired over it. Legality of wage fixing aside for the moment, I don't think this should have been a fireable offense at all (reprimanding the…
> If you want to work hard and become rich, that's your spot. Maybe, maybe not. I'd argue there are far more who tried and failed than who succeeded, but I don't know if that ratio of success is better or worse than in…
Being told a person got fired because of you. Your response: ":)" Man, Steve Jobs sure had a lot of admirable qualities, but sometimes he was just a fcking asshole.
Fair enough. I tried it out under the assumption that it was an attempt at a better mainstream search engine, but I guess I should have paid deeper attention to the name :-)
As a quick test, I searched for the name of one of my favorite game series: "Baldur's Gate" (on its own, no qualifiers, properly spelled - I would usually spell it "baldurs gate" on Google, but I decided to give this…
Frankly, anybody who thinks that Apple is out for anybody but themselves is living in a dream.
Despicable.
How did such an empty, ill-researched, ill-backed article even make it onto Hacker News? "Drivel" is putting it charitably.
I don't use themes or a very heavily themed distro, so maybe I haven't seen egregious (mis)uses of theming. That said, I absolutely agree when (if) it comes to theming actually breaking functionality (and the original…
Yeah, I had heard of that. Personally, I don't really like the idea of depending on re-signing every 7 days to prevent apps from breaking. In practice it would be fine nearly 100% of the time, it's just not something I…
Except, you didn't need to roll your own. 1PW used to support Dropbox - it's how I still use it. And specifically you only need the DB free tier to store a 1PW vault, so the only cost was paying for the 1PW client…
Well, f** 1Password then. I am currently still using them, but once my current apps are no longer supported, whenever that might happen, I will move to another solution rather than paying a subscription for the…
Courage.
Before watching the video, I was wondering what a "Comma Three" even is (you know, to decide if I should spend time watching the video). So I went to their website first, to find out - and I think I still don't know.…
I highly second this. I've worked retail before (Apple Retail, Genius Bar specifically, so probably one of the more decent and better paid retail jobs in the grand scheme of things), and dealing with customers was one…
Damn, if this was officially available in Japan I'd be so tempted to reserve one right now... Might still order one to my home in Germany, but probably will wait for further news on proper international availability…
Yeah, even if I could walk to the office I'd probably still split my time. But it would be a best of both worlds scenario for me :-)
I recognize that situations and preferences can change, yes. But it would have to be a pretty significant change for me to outweigh 80 minutes on a crowded Tokyo subway, particularly in summer. FWIW, before the pandemic…
