Because management should be rigorously defending devs from being needlessly interrupted with whatever some sales guy thinks is important in the moment? Management can filter out the garbage, condense down the really important bits and deliver them during a time it won't knock dev out of the zone?
Something that might bear considering, is what is the office providing you that can't be served some other way? Socializing can be served outside of work (friends, hobbies), Work structure or a dedicated work space can be created without requiring a company office (pay consideration for co-working space or re-allocate commute costs/proximity premiums to a larger living space with a dedicated room for work). For most companies, if they are paying for an office, they are going to require people to come to them. Remote folks lose the main thing they want, the ability to work remote. For the office preference folks, the reasons are varied and can often be solved for sans office.
Does Cloudflare still require you to transfer in or can you actually buy domains from them directly now? The buy and then wait 90 days to transfer in thing is a hassle.
Slippery slope / Straw-man fallacy. One is to do with tying the minimum wage to a livable wage. The other is just large numbers for the sake of trying to win an argument. No one is arguing for $150/hr. The argument is simply that you aught not to be able to run a business and extract a profit if the cost to do so is employing people at such a low wage that they require governmental handouts just to pay rent and eat food. Given that, imaginary large numbers like $150/hr or $1500/hr do not come into play and thus do not need to be considered.
Nice forward progress on the search for a preventative treatment. Also TIL bad gum health can lead to colon cancer. So counter intuitive. runs off to brush teeth
Thinking back on all the games I've lost, this analysis is depressing confirmation that I might just not be that good at this game lol. Super interesting read though!
Just watched this last night with my wife. Was cracking up the whole time. The combination of cheesy humor and engineering chops is fantastic. I also enjoyed the one he did about making a basketball back board that ensures you always make the shot. Good stuff.
For me at least there are some things I'm fine with. Google Analytics doesn't bother me. Random ad networks and selling my data to 3rd parties does. (Yes I realize google uses analytics data for Google Ads, but I don't have as many issues with google ads as I do with J-Random Ad Network ran by some-unknown-shady-org)
Would be nice if there was some uniformity to these and you could set granularized default preferences at your browser just the once, and have them applied universally in all cases where site options match the norm, and just requires interaction for the few instances were there are some granular permissions that need to be set outside of the default set. Bonus points for adding those new rules to your default set for future use.
Painfully funny joke. I've got a little chefs steps sous vide that will become worthless the day the company goes out of business and the app is pulled from the store. Despite just needing a temperature and time setting it relies on a phone app and somehow requires an update every single time I use it =/
"My current gut feeling about all of this is that someone basically was designing a piece of Mac malware that would give them the ability to completely remotely control an infected system. And then they also added some ransomware capability as a way to make extra money."
Honestly I kind of feel like the opposite is probably true. The ransomware is the primary money maker and the backdoor stuff is there just in case there is something interesting to extract if the main money play doesn't net you anything.
Single family home rentals seem to be going the opposite direction. My lease just came up for renewal. Tried my damnedest to talk them out of a 5% rate increase based on covid and city wide rent declines, but they said that single family homes were facing a massive inventory shortage as people were rushing from apartments to houses. =/
