I'm glad they cut this short. If I had gotten one of these emails for a blog or non profit I was part of it would have stressed me out too. You gotta do research into the law, understand your exposure and possibly start reaching out to

Completely agree here. There was no reason the people running this couldn't have been clear about what they were doing and why up front. I've dealt with GDPR requests before and it is a hassle. Especially when someone does it for

I dunno. Seems clearly abusive to me from someone in a position of power. This wasn't said among friends at a bar or by or about someone unrelated to the people in question. It was their boss, or bosses boss.

by stormcode 5y ago
Yes, in my opinion it is. Think about abuse in other contexts to put it in perspective. If a teacher in the middle of giving a homework assignment had said the same thing, would that be okay? What about a police officer who pulled someone o

Reminds me a little of one of the games built into emacs... You ftp around and do other stuff that teaches you commands. Not positive, might be called dunnet.

I got to the fifth insurance of'industry leading' and had to stop reading. The general sentiment recorded makes sense but the language used at various points reads as if it were run through a PR ML bot.

That's why I'm suggesting you take control and turn the meeting into what you want it to be. It doesn't have to be a checklist but it sounds like you -have- to have this meeting at the company you are at. So instead of suffer

Take it into your own hands. It's your time. Bring stuff to it. You won't always have an amazing manager, but you can get a lot out of it if you are proactive IMO. Also, I think all managers should be asking what cadence and lengt

by stormcode 5y ago
100% agree. If you are a manager, dont cancel 1:1s unless it is a legit emergency. if someone schedules over it, tell them you cant do it because you have a 1:1 and you dont reschedule those. These are the most important meetings on a manag

by stormcode 5y ago
I think in general you'll get out what you put in. 1:1 should be your time, your agenda. If it's a status meeting it's being done wrong. If you aren't setting the agenda and bringing things to talk about, goals to discus

Some people are just not great. It sucks. This kind of thing saps the energy from the devs and makes it a job instead of a hobby.

They mention attempting it in the post. It didn't go anywhere one time, as it was a minor, and the other they don't have anything to tie the attack to a person. This is a pretty common problem for small games/services that ex

agreed. i read this book on recommendation several years ago and felt it could be distilled in a blog post and i probably would have gotten more out of it.

Watched some Saber bouts this Olympics and they still seem so fast as to be unfun to watch. At least for more than one or two in a row (so 5 min). Maybe I'm just used to watching Epee and Foil. I totally get why they changed the rule.

It's a really great rule change that has made top tier epee fencing a lot more interesting to watch.

disagree. have read many things handed to me by a lawyer, and typos and inconsistencies are something I have found regularly.

Oof. I think there are two types of engineers in the world. Those that have done something like this, and those that will someday do something like this.

Some apartments you can't open the front door or the smoke will set off the whole building. You also have a harder time turning off fire alarms since the building doesn't want people disabling them as they are all entwined.

I love the idealism here. I am very much in favor of transparency in wages and in setting a salary and saying this is where you start. It reminds me of that car company where the price was the price and you didn't have to negotiate. Sa

MUDs (MOOs specifically) were super formative for me. Learned to code from playing with LambdaMOO and helping develop Sindome (www.sindome.org) If anyone is interested in a modern / updated LamdaMOO server check out ToastStunt: https:

It isn't cancel culture to call out Google making poor decisions and not planning well and then doing what everyone was worried, vocally, they would do, which was pull the plug. Did you read the article? No one is canceling Google.

Just picked up Naked Lunch which appears to have been one of the last books banned in Boston. Read the first chapter and wow is it a strange ride so far.

Absurd but not new. Equifax was charging people to freeze their credit for a while after the breach, until public pressure mounted. They probably made a TON of money off of that, and off the credit protection services they offer directly or

Yes, to a point, the 'internet is free'. But you are sort of twisting the point a bit I think. Not only does it cost money to have a website in many cases, but to be close to 'free' in terms of what you can post the theo

Agreed. I've had two $25 baofengs for camping / outdooring for... Four or five years. Both work fine. They don't see a ton of use but they have been banging around camping bins and glove boxes for that time. Batteries hold th
