Sorry you are having a rough search. I was part of a large layoff so I know plenty of people who’ve been through it recently, some more than once if they went into another company …

A small percent of tech workers struggling to get a job doesn’t change the overall picture that most people working in tech are living relatively prosperous and comfortable lives. …

Not as I understand it. When I've seen this discussed, a "logout requirement" has usually meant some stakeholder thinks they need a way to prevent previously issued access tokens f…

The more confidently people make blanket pronouncements, the less you should believe them. There are a lot of use cases for OAuth2 and OIDC that are not covered by “just use a web …

I don't think this specifically is a great example of "being mean", but in the broader ecosystem it's definitely a problem that can wear down maintainers over time. I think it boil…

It’s basically impossible to rent a place worth living in Boston without paying a broker fee. Even the listings you find yourself on craigslist won’t rent to you unless you pony up…

Could be, I'm not really old enough to remember how linear TV dealt with new television series. Perhaps it is mainly a problem of perception. When you turn on the hotel TV and see …

I don't follow it closely enough to know. I would assume because the child actors were aging out of their roles.

> a graveyard of prematurely canceled originals This is the crux of the issue for me. I lost interest in even trying new Netflix shows because they developed a reputation for cance…

I hear what you’re saying, but I think maybe we just have different standards for what counts as acceptable quality.

I find this difficult to believe; no matter how small your camera is, photography is about light. Art reproduction photography is surprisingly hard to do if you care about the qual…

I tend to agree. There’s too much room for subjectivity in this definition for it to be a useful statistic. Physical violence is relatively unambiguous and severe, but these emotio…

If they ended the conversation after a modest ask like that, you probably dodged a bullet. I bet they are also miserly at every annual review.

If you consider that almost nobody gets a job without going through some rejection, it is. It's a stochastic process, and every interview is another roll of the dice.

Hang in there. Every rejection is bringing you one step closer to your ultimate goal.

Of the people I know who got laid off in the last year, pretty much everyone got a job after seriously pursuing one for 3 or 4 months. By seriously pursuing I mean preparing, apply…

I suppose part of the challenge here is that music and video content holds value much longer. Studios can invest in music and video content and see a return from the catalog over a…

Good to know, I wasn't aware. But if you're storing passwords, TOTP seed, and recovery codes all in the same shared password vault, it's not really multi-factor anymore. It's secur…

While I'm not against security and 2FA in general, making PyPI 2FA mandatory ahead of any kind of org support is a major pain for big projects with more than one maintainer. This w…

I had the same experience in a big building. I basically rendered my own kitchen unsafe for human food preparation with all the poisons I tried, but still it hardly made a dent bec…

If your time is so valuable, why are you spending it creating throwaway accounts just to hate on somebody else's content? If you don't like it, just move on. You're not adding anyt…

Educational programs aren’t free, though. The tobacco industry was forced to spend billions paying for these programs as part of the master settlement in 1998. https://en.m.wikiped…

Having worked with a huge Jenkins deployment at a large company somewhat recently (>10,000 jobs), I found it worked okay enough that company leadership never felt it was worth the …

Familysearch took down a photo of my grandparents because it they were kissing. It is the only picture I have of that grandfather, but they say no PDA of any kind allowed so I gues…
