Attempts to redirect blame to faulty procedures and policies is starting to seem like a weak argument when it really comes down to poor leadership and lack of foresight, which is a stretch to pin on a single person. That said, I think the i

Can’t you already do this using their online account transcript? I’m not yet comfortable using that as the source of truth at this current time but it seems like they do let you at least view what was sent to them albeit in pretty raw form.

Just want to add a bit to round this out a bit more. Even if I were a manager for a team and I found out a member of my team was looking for work, why would I stop them? Frankly, I might even consider encouraging them to look. “See if you c

I understand the temptation to comment on the character of OP (against HN guidelines) but we don’t know anything about OP and should assume good faith and it’s entirely possible OP is new to the field. At face value, OP might think the righ

Not a recruiter. You ignore it and keep it to yourself. Full stop. People look for jobs for any number of personal reasons.

Ok apple’s screen time is moderately broken. But why is no one talking about the absolute dumpster fire that is Google Family Link which is, by far, the most infuriating software product I’ve used in the last decade? I’ll spare HN the rant.

Purely another anecdote from my own personal experience, When watching anything on a TV screen I never feel like I have the same tangible connection with what I’m viewing. There’s some innate connection that happens when I make real eye con

I’ve been using it in production for many years and I agree that it’s vastly simpler than kubernetes, by many orders of magnitude. I’m currently migrating off of it because I reached a point where I needed more enterprise-y features for no

Yikes this travesty of a website with all the ads and popups makes this page impossible to read.

Wait, if there’s a site I don’t want to see search results for I can just submit a DMCA?

Just order the item you want for store pickup before you leave and it’s usually ready by the time you get there. That’s my experience and it’s quite literally in-n-out.

Is it just me? 100m doesn’t seem like “a lot” of money to cover legal, rent, infrastructure, engineers, administration, for a “really long time” to me. Having a reasonable buffer seems like a responsible thing to do.

This is unfortunate, it was actually TCM that introduced me to some more obscure films I’m really passionate about from Studio Ghibli which are now some of my favorite most-cherished animated films. What set TCM apart were the interludes w

I could rant for DAYS about my awful experiences with the US medical billing system but I’m too tired after spending literally months of my life on paying US medical bills and even more time removing erroneous collections claims from my cre

Spoken by someone who clearly doesn’t own or drive a Tesla. Phantom braking is very much STILL an unsolved problem.

If you have literally any credit card, bank account, loan, property, a car, a single amazon purchase, starbucks rewards, I absolutely guarantee that you have a profile that’s being sold for ransom by any number of those providers. The title

I challenge you to audit all dependencies and, particularly, the sub-dependencies of those. Most people, in my experience, look at a requirements.txt or package.json and think that’s everything but your dependency tree is going to be easily

Literally they will if tech workers unionize, which has its own baggage and list of disadvantages for everyone but if tech companies get in a bad habit of treating employees poorly that’s exactly what will happen.

This sums up my experience as well, giving mostly accurate estimates maybe comes naturally for some of us. I’ve been doing this for a long time though and I think that plays into it. It takes a lot of intuition that really just comes from e

As an engineer, I mean it kind of comes down to competition doesn’t it? If entity A is able to get something done 5x faster than entity B and just as well, wouldn’t you choose entity B in the future? Sure entity A might have been acceptable

I feel I could pick out exactly who the developers are, the managers who used to be devs, and the PMs from these comments with a pretty good success rate.

It’s easy for this honest mentality to turn into malicious compliance. If you’re actively fulfilling that prophecy, this won’t just impact a manager or a PM, it will absolutely impact you as well. I’ve seen it happen many times, obviously

I mean it’s somewhat true, if it were legal for 12 year olds to have these things AND it was marketed toward them, way more kids would be have it than not. That’s not to say they can’t get it now, but it’s harder and somewhat self regulatin

Yes, parental controls are not are replacement for teaching kids why this stuff is damaging. It’s not an excuse to be lazy parents. Kids need to hear their parents say it (with the why). Setting limits instead outright blocking can be helpf

I also want to recognize that in the case of Utah’s implementation，it likely doesn’t have my best interests in mind so I do see your point. There’s always a possibility of an agenda which isn’t necessarily “good for kids.” Maybe what we sho

I do think this a reasonable rebuttal, but there must be some middle ground here. Generally speaking, I can block TikTok sure, but because it’s so ubiquitous, my kids are ostracized because all their friends have access to it, they still pa
