    Same thing with hardware in every company I've worked at. Really, "Sr. Staff Engineer Alice" makes $300k/yr, but only gets a budget of $2k for a laptop that's meant to last four ye…

    Hot takes aside, if you're looking for great foraging books, I'd suggest anything by David Arora, such as "All That the Rain Promises and More" and "Mushrooms Demystified". The Nat…

    Let's go ahead and ban pen and paper, typewriters, email, and unregulated verbal speech too, to make sure they aren't avenues for sharing pirate urls.

    Exactly. I'm pointing out that what gp says: > It may end up having a much larger impact than reddit corporate anticipates. Is unlikely. I'm not adding an opinion on whether or not…

    "reddit corporate"? Like Steve, who was the original founder and is the current CEO, or Alexis, another original founder, who is the executive chairman? There is absolutely zero wa…

    Do you have a link to any of these models? I was just wondering if any existed a few days ago.

    Hi, I work at Inrupt (Tim's company.) Here's two recent examples: The BBC just announced that they're hosting Solid Pods for personal data, allowing users to control access to thei…

    Yup, this. I see how my statement was ambiguous.

    When I built reddit's mobile website, I refused to add any mobile ads - I told the product owner that they could buy ads like anyone else. Literally the week after I quit, they add…

    FYI your docs are broken - I can't scroll down on anything (such as https://docs.zitadel.ch/docs/guides/authentication/login-use... ) Chrome 101.0.4951.64 / MacOS 12.4 Very curious…

    Not only that, but this is an interview question . It isn't helpful at all to judge the quality of code in isolation; nobody's going to write perfect code in an interview setting, …

    > A free tier with unlimited cards but no sync/local only, could help to get users into seeing value. Quite the opposite, for me. Local storage is far more valuable.

    I've been brewing beer and mead for a decade, so I'm used to issues of contamination - although it's very hard to make yourself sick with beer. Worst case, it tastes bad and you ha…

    Thank you for all the information- your username checks out! Re: "don't make cheese with raw milk. You'll regret it." If the only non-homogenized milk I can find is raw, is it safe…

    I'm not surprised you made a throwaway to hide behind, because not only are you a coward, but this is the worst take I've ever seen on a website full of terrible takes. I can't ima…

    I loled that you were downvoted, I was going to post the same thing - they discovered multiple layers of testing? Congrats?

    It does not take a PhD to download the Lazy Mac Pack. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158322.0 You can even get it as a Brew cask.

    I was super excited until I saw this; I guess I'll have to wait. Offline storage is essential for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the ability to reach my notes if He…

    I'm not convinced their tools are better than npm audit + a license checker package, although I suppose it's nice if you want a dashboard that works for many languages instead of j…

    They didn't fix it. I tried a few days ago, because it's a really fun game... except for these seemingly easy to fix issues that are huge barriers.

    They offer both Ubuntu and pop! os; I don't think it's fair to ask for more distros. If you want Mint, just install Mint. An install of Ubuntu 20.04 for me required zero configurat…

    I was going to install it to try it out, but this was the dealbreaker for me.
