As an American who moved to Berlin 15 years ago, I love not needing a car. We like to visit Paris, Amsterdam, London, Florence, and more cities multiple times a year and we never get a car. Between public transportation and my bicycle, I ca

This article could have been published 30 years ago. In professional unix admin circles this was already well known back them. Although I could be misreading it as the article is not very clear. I think this are the points it is trying to m

I imagine that (at least) 2 things have happened to Google Search. 1. SEO content farmers have filled it up with low quality results. 2. Google used ML to tune the system and it optimized for the lowest common denominator, incompetent searc

Yeah, I refuse to buy any product that requires a subscript simply to be able to use it. A subscription should bring new value every month, like a magazine. I'm OK with subscribing to streaming video services as long as they keep updat

That's why I laugh when I see they want to charge a subscription for this. It's easy enough for any competent developer to take available open source tools and crank out something to meet their needs in an afternoon. Before UTM ca

I love UTM. It works great for my needs. I mostly develop infrastructure automation and configuration tooling and I run all my VMs in terminal mode. The wide availability of arm64 distros and OSes makes this easy. I also use it to run a tin

In my recent experience, Google search is totally broken for anything that is hard to find or uncommon. I recently search for "raspberry pi uart hat" and Google responds with the following: Not many results include the word

From my perspective this is undesired by the vendor because there was no therapy session, just various free uses of OpenAI via their account.

I'm starting to see a lot of products in "beta" that seem to be little more than a very thin wrapper around ChatGPT. So thin that it is trivial to get it to give general responses. I recently trialed an AI Therapy Assistant s

For me this article joins a long list of "I don't believe in X" where the author has apparently only experienced bad versions of X. Most of the time with the articles, the answer to "X done poorly" is to switch to &

My HR team got a Leadership Development plan for several of us from sharpist.com. They match and supply the coaches. Very happy with it so far!

I have been an engineering leader for over 10 years and in all this time I received almost no training or coaching. I was pulled up from my role as an engineer. For the past 6 months I have been working with a remote leadership coach and it

I took a look at their privacy policy and the company behind this blog isn't even GDPR compliant, despite their claims. Note the following from their privacy policy: "Research and analysis - We may process usage data and/or t

I work for a German company and am responsible for GDPR implementation. I would not suggest following the advice in the article. It is full of mistakes and bad advice and would easily put you at risk for a law suit, at least in Germany. If

After two experiences, I no longer use or trust Glassdoor. 1. After turning in my notice to resign, the company I was leaving offered me a written agreement where they would pay me $2500 for leaving a positive review on Glassdoor. 2. Someon

How does your team use it and how would you rate it? My CEO wanted to introduce Gather with the idea that everyone would be in it working all day. He wanted to be able to "stroll by" whenever to see what people are up to. The team

If you are taking this article at face value then you are missing the point. This is 100% a marketing piece. It is a standard part of modern Mentalism to pretend to explain how it works by psychology, powers of suggestion, and deep study of

I don't know how many times I have to repeat this advice: if it isn't in writing in your contract then it doesn't count. It doesn't matter what a recruiter or hiring manager promises. Get it in writing. Always and foreve

I am totally lost as to how this is a cloud. The author's definition of pocket-sized cloud is "a place to run our code, which can be configured through an API - using containers for packaging" and that is not what I understan

As someone currently working at a German startup I can tell you that there is a growing movement away from using any provider that moves data outside the EU. Our largest customer, a German enterprise, just told us that if we don't remo

It seems pretty reasonable to me. 1. In Germany an IP address is considered PI under GDPR because it is easily associated to a natural person. 2. Google is open about the fact that they log IP address with Google Font request activity, whic
