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 request, rather than using a pre-defined allowlist approach whic

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 encountered were those whose mentally abusive and toxic behavior w

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 they do really well for different tasks. If I need a binary com

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 have a smaller but more vocal group that says, “I hate working

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 State alumnus.

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 because someone can see a “stupid” question get asked and then

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 kids basically 24/7 and keep them engaged, etc,. Just beca

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 accepted and we are processing it”. On top of that, the phone li

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 have colleagues who dream of spending their

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 lonely and will do and believe anything someone says if that so

My bank does allow setting a per transaction limit, but nothing on a daily or weekly basis from what I can see. I agree it would be a great feature for controlling spending, or for setting reasonable limits for kids and teens.

My bank has a feature where I can get an email for every transaction at or over a certain amount. I set it to $0.01 awhile back so that I could see transactions come in without having to constantly log in to my account online. As a parent m
