Honestly, with the AI slop of resumes, I applied to dozens of jobs, and only got a callback to ones I had either a recruiter for or direct connections to, after 20 years of experie…

Yuuuuup. We once had a cloudflare outage. My CEO asked "mitigate it" I hit him back with, okay, but that'll take me weeks/months potentially, since we're tiny, do you really want t…

The most terrifying thing is there will be a trump-government representative in the governing body. We are truly looking at 1984 as a blueprint not a warning.

Counter thought: Rent is going up A LOT every year. My parent's house in a similar area is not, even with extra taxes, it is far lower than what I pay. They fix up something, its f…

The problem of authoritarianism is the preparedness paradox. They are less prepared for problems. And so suddenly problems happen all the time. But when there are no problems... Th…

> Maybe it's time for a third large phone OS, whether it comes from China getting fed up with the US and Google's shenanigans (Huawei has HarmonyOS but it's not open) or some "GNU/…

Reminds me of the early days of cloud computing. It was very pricey, but once the tools caught up in 5 or so years, it went from "omg cloud is so expensive" to "omg cloud is only e…

He was iconic. But also he was a terrible human.

Reminds me of the argument of "cars used to be more sturdy than today, where any hit is a total" Um... Looking at videos of crashing old cars into new cars, the old cars DO NOT hol…

I had a kid at 22, I am now 40 with a kid going to college. I can echo this exact sentiment. However at 22 I wasn't the experienced person I am today. Nor was I stable, nor could I…

Right up top. The service for alerts no longer works 24/7 so this happened when they were down for their daily window. Therefore the cuts are directly responsible.

I guess I don't understand the economics of this entire process. Is this a pro or anti consumer move?

I find that postgres query planner is quite satisfactory for very difficult use cases. I was able to get 5 years into a startup that wasn't basically trying to be the next Twitter …

I've used a philosophy of reduced infra complexity till you really need it for years. Having to just manage a database is far easier infra wise than a complex system for small rail…

This. This is it. Now Disney will have to bow down and kiss the ring or their us incomes will fail. Make it too expensive to not bow down. That's how this works. I'll make doing bu…

Tarrifs are a tool that must be applied strategically. You typically announce tarrifs years in advance so business can shift their logistics and build out manufacturing where you w…

As someone who set these up, I can tell you, the answer is rather simple: - spammers have 1 system to set up in order to spam. They get it right. - company admins have dozens of pr…

the weird thing is: - if you use 1password (an example), then you're generating a bunch of random and unique passwords for every site - questions to verify you as a 2fa tends to be…

3 years later after my burnout and I still don't have the same energy and drive.

Just a note. Ukranian manufacturing has really stepped up. They are making 80% of the ammunition now. They also have a well trained army still alive while the Russians have only co…

Just so you know. The Ukranian constitution states no elections during war. All political opponents have come out and said we will hold elections after victory. Nobody is against p…

Agreed. Russia can pull out of their invasion literally any time.

Wait, has anyone had any illusion that google wanted to continue to allow developers to make good content filtering? They are in a full-blown war against adblocking.

My uncle did ATC in the soviet military. They were allowed to do 2 hour shifts max. The mental work is so intense that the human brain can only sustain it for a short time.

Funny story, my lady's landlord has been doing some blatantly illegal stuff, and then taking her to court. Instead she went on the offensive and suddenly the landlord is extremely …
