> I’m just really burned out and don’t have the mental energy to come home from a 10 hour day and start preparing for interviews. Then don't. Show up and put in a fair eight hours, then leave.…

I don't think we understand the word "lonely" if we think an AI can solve it. An AI isn't going to throw you a birthday party, or pick you up when the last bus for the night blows …

>Involving the police in that situation would be an insane and risky escalation. The girl has a cold, anti-social caregiver/parent. That's sad, not illegal. That's factually incorrec…

If your daughter is crying, injured, and you are not close enough to get to her before OP, you deserve to have a social worker speak to her 1:1, full stop.

The correct response is to stand your ground and say "No, I'm trying to connect a hurt child with their parents. Are you their parent? If not, we'll cut this favor short and just call c…

Thanks, I think the thinkwiki is a link I didn't have last time I looked into this. I'm more a fan of debian than ubuntu due to the advertising things they've done: https://e…

> Rental stores are dead, so I can't go rent them from blockbuster or whatever Try the library, I've found lots of things not on streaming in mine's DVD collection.

The last time I tried thinkpads, I thought I'd done my research but somehow got one that couldn't use it's wireless card in Debian out of the box (and lacked an ethernet port :/) D…

>In this attack, it redirects to a Secret Blizzard-controlled domain that likely displays a certificate validation error and gets the user to download and execute ApolloShadow. If the device isn&#x…

I never was able to self teach myself math. One of my big regrets is I wanted to keep the door open for law school so I didn't take calc I/II as electives + a CS minor. I think having that e…

When I worked in a SOC I can't recall seeing anything malicious from them directed at my network -- it was usually AWS or Azure instances. I'd focus on behaviors rather than providers -- I f…

Maybe move to being a program manager or something? If you truly enjoy coding, don't stop, but try to make it a hobby? I never enjoyed coding, it was a means to an end -- I was interested in syst…

It makes me feel bad when I see an obituary like this. I had no idea he existed, but reading I can't question he had an impact on the world. Other corners of the internet people would shit on the…

>It's because this law isn't about protecting children, but about control of the Internet. Also in an overpopulated world it's not a given that children should be protected if it c…

Bridges don't change your exit node.

>is TOR an answer to this ? I've found Tor is mostly useful for reading, not participating. Exit nodes get blocked from registering on most sites. One workaround is to register at a café or li…

I decided to run a small experiment ping -c 20 -i 5 google.com; ping -c 20 -i 5 yahoo.com [snip] --- google.com ping statistics --- 20 packets transmitted, 20 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-…

>Isn't that true in the real world as well? I suspect the folks complaining about "markets" in online dating are not the kind of people who can connect offline. To be fair, I think o…

Devil's advocate, but how is saying someone is an unreliable romantic partner going to financially hurt someone? Maybe the reason I haven't had success in the policy arena is because I'…

I thought, as a practical matter, it's on the person alleging slander or libel to prove falsehood? I think sometimes folks don't properly threat model what can be done if someone chooses to …

> "more than 99% of them had no activity in the last month" Better to have a short URL and not need it, than need a short URL and not have it IMO.

>The full URl to the original page. I thought that was the standard in academia? I've had reviewers chastise me when I did not use wayback machine to archive a citation and link to that since …

I use noscript, ublock origin, and container tabs to isolate my personal email and banking, and often get accused of being a robot. (I'm a real boy!)

The algorithm that powers Google Search is called Pagerank -- it gives weight to sites linked to by big sites. Without that reputation data, you have to fall back to the style of searching we did in t…

I had a similar thing recently. The problem is there's not much they can do until you're terminated, and after termination you need to wait six months to a year while a regualatory body inve…

Is this understood to be new? I think I got hit with this quite a long time ago. (As in during the pandemic -- long ago in vuln times.) I am willing to discuss it, off the record, if someone provides …
