> I'd like to see a revival of awk. It's less easy to scale up, so there's very little risk that starting a project with a little bit of awk results in the next person inheriting a multi-thousand line awk codebase.…
There's no greater source of professional resentment than suffering under a manager who's incompetent and a narcissist (my summary of his blurb). After 18 years at Google he probably feels safe burning that bridge.
Propping up, probably not. Enriching IBM directly and indirectly, probably yes.
Absolutely. Walmart used to have a policy of refunding gift cards in cash. You'd buy many at one location, and return them at another. Less trackable. Gift cards are also used quite regularly in human/sex trafficking to…
I have doubts about this too. I remember seeing a Humvee autonomously driving around the CMU campus back in 1998. I get the feeling research institutions and, now, product companies have been working closely with local…
Always remember. What do you call a med school graduate who had a straight-A average? "Doctor". What do you call a med school graduate who had a C-minus average? "Doctor". I've had to weed through a couple dunce doctors…
In the US retaliation by an employer for an employee reporting inappropriate or unlawful conduct to a superior is unlawful. This is a protection granted at the federal level.
That sounds like a very reasonable course of action. However... given the circumstances the author is in, I don't think his director is the type to schedule a pen test and then wait for all the violations to be resolved…
But I think the author's paper trail will show #3 is not the case. He doesn't appear to want to deceive the client OR his boss. He's being pressured.
Magnesium saves me too. I've had persistent leg cramps since my teens. If I look at my right calf the wrong way, it seizes up, especially after a night of drinking. All of that went away when I started taking 200mg…
In the article: > “The pros are certainly fundraising development. I think people like to think that if they give a lot of money to a university, their children will get special preference,” he said. “I can sort of…
I wish I had the source, but one view of being in the dominant position in a relationship is that "one gets things done or their needs met, but 'moves' the least." A baby is an example they gave. It just lies there, but…
This was my experience at my last company, except compressed into 1 year. Once I joined I learned that 30% of my time would be dedicated to hiring. The company had a pooled hiring process, and I came to hate it. I spent…
Back in 2010 I had a friend refer two potential clients to me, who were looking to get some links related to them pushed down and off the first page of search results. The links were about financial fraud convictions…
I'm hoping these highly compensated former employees go on to build their own companies that create more jobs. That would be a net gain for everyone.
I partially agree. People do want decentralization but don't want the responsibility of maintaining and moderating those systems. And in the end they, the passive consumers, end up with the same situation they were in…
You have it the wrong way around. The advertiser will ask for the ads to be suppressed or removed from negative contexts, because that's part of the service they pay for.
My spouse eats dinner late, like 8:30-9:00pm. So on the 18-6 or 20-4 we wouldn't be able to eat dinner together unless I ate a really late lunch.
I worked in management at Carta while Jerry was CTO. It was one of the most disorganized and chaotic companies I've ever been at. Extremely unprofessional in many ways and a total waste of time. I was in pillar update…
"circadian rhythms can be found in every cell" - seems vague. The info-nibble doesn't detail some of the downsides of IF - like how difficult it can be to practice it in social life (married? good luck telling your…
I've been looking for something like this. Is it DIY or something off-the-shelf? My spouse requires absolute darkness when sleeping, but I have SAD and require the blinds to be always open in order to... not want to die.
Speaking as a former employee of a large adult content network, and as someone who bent laws in my frequent (oh so frequent) searches for porn as a teenager, this law will be about as effectual as Louisiana's public…
Using this technique I got a great deal on a car after the salesman threw out a number first. I simply sat there looking at him and said nothing for maybe 20-30 seconds. He threw out a lower number. Then I said "I'll…
I have experienced this as well. Perhaps coincidentally the type of language they're always obsessed with is a functional one. I've yet to see a dev who's rabid over mutable state. They're usually bonzo for free monads.…
Today's internet is largely dominated by topics and people who maximize for marginal superficial engagement. You probably won't ever have the experience of a MajorBBS sysop breaking into your session when you're in the…
