Agreed. However some service providers (like GitHub) allow a user with admin access to approve any OAuth app the first time it’s “launched” if they are the ones initiating the requ…

I was the target of one of these during a recent internal pen test and got caught in it, despite being very technically savvy and aware of “normal” phishing techniques. The attack …

> more likely to be carrying it anyway due to misbehavior I’m not sure about that. I’ve been pretty strict about physical distancing, mask wearing, and all of the other things nece…

> Maybe just have sex instead? Having grown up with two addict parents I can tell you that “Just try doing something else” isn’t typically a useful strategy.

> His retirement had not brought the contentment it had promised, and no number of visits from his children could dispel his loneliness. He had little in the way of a social circle…

Too true. Intellectual bullying can be insidious and is often overlooked because it doesn’t come with physical scars and bruises. Some of the worst bosses and coworkers I’ve encoun…

Can you elaborate a bit more on what bothers you about Go? “It’s not Python” could encompass a lot of things. Personally, I use both languages (as well as Java and C#) and find the…

This is my concern, as well. We have some people at my place of work saying, “Working from home has been great! I’ve never been more effective and happy at my job.”, and then we ha…

Portland State is actually on a quarter system, so you'd need to multiple those values by 3 or 4 (depending on if you include the Summer quarter or not). Source: I'm a Portland Sta…

While I think this project and the data are interesting, one thing that becomes problematic is that you actually DO have to invest time in whatever courses you register for at most…

I love asking for help in channels because I feel like it socializes the answer and process for finding it much better than a DM does. It also helps build trust within the team bec…

As a parent myself who is guilty of this from time to time, I think it’s easy to judge those moments without seeing the full picture. Nowadays parents are expected to attend to kid…

Not sure if this is true in all states, but in mine getting fired for cause disqualifies you from receiving unemployment. You have to be laid off/terminated by no fault of your own…

My wife’s business had to shut down due to COVID-19 in early April. We filed for unemployment through PUA at that time and have yet to hear ANYTHING other than “your claim was acce…

In a some tangential way this makes me think of Derek Parfit’s “repugnant conclusion”: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/repugnant-conclusion/

I don’t have the Solutions Architect certification but I do have the AWS Certified Developer certification. I learned quite a bit during the training and it did help me get a job, …

A couple of examples: - I bought an Apple Watch through them that was the cellular version. There was some activation error with the carrier when we tried to set it up, and rather …

I've commented here a few times that Best Buy really has turned itself around and now offers a great shopping experience. I have a location nearby and every time I go in to buy som…

I also have some eczema/dry skin problems and one thing that I've found helps is not showering every single day. I used to shower once (or sometimes twice) a day, and it made the s…

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't totally get the push to retire early. In fact, I don't think I'll ever retire if I can continue working and doing something that I enjoy. I hav…

The challenge is that even having a strategy fails when you’re in a vulnerable place and someone comes along and says and does all of the “right” things. Many people are deeply lon…

This debate has come up at my place of work recently: Should the area where someone lives impact their salary if they are working as a remote employee? Should someone be paid less …
