They can't suspend everyone, I really hope this results in every student posting images.

He's arguing not just against SMS-2FA, but against 2FA itself, and his simple solution is to "just use a strong password". The author completely misses the point about the value of 2FA …

What happens when Slack is down? Does DevOps also stop, or is there a way to do the same commands/workflows outside of Slack? You don't want two separate run books, as they'll never sta…

So, what have you done to fix these issues? Why are you leaving instead of improving the team's throughput and work environment? What makes you think you won't encounter the same issues else…

Nope. There's no bonuses at Amazon (at PE/SDE levels at least), and there are compensation bands for each level. A top-ranked SDE3 that delivered DynamoDB should have similar compensation as…

He apologized for getting caught.

"I feel from the moment that I put them on that I can't get quite enough to breath." That's what they are feeling - they may be claustrophobic, etc. And I believe they are feeling …

CO2 elimination is also not an issue: https://twitter.com/MurseWordsworth/status/12767990206738882... And those with chronic health issues also see no problem with masks, de…

Wearing masks do not affect oxygen intake. If what you say is true, all healthcare workers who are wearing masks 8-12hrs a day would be collapsing - and most of them are double-masking with cloth ma…

There still exists the problem of collecting the judgement. How are you going to force a large company to pay if they are already ignoring you?

Yep, ShapeUp describes an open "Cool Down" period between cycles, where people are free to work on whatever they want - favorite bugs, features, docs, developer tools, etc. They discuss how …

ShapeUp[1] makes the same argument as TFA. Either it's a bug worth fixing now, or it's not. If it's not, ignore it. In reality, nobody ever goes through the backlog saying "gosh, I…

No online seller was/is collecting sales tax, except for their own state. I've always paid sales tax on my Amazon purchases here in Washington.

More like "there's no evidence that supports it, so why are we assuming it's right?" There's no way to test any of their theories, and there's no historical evidence to s…

The problem isn't that we're speculating about it, the problem is that we're basing (scientific) assumptions about current behavior on speculations about past behavior which has no evid…

I've using this site for improving my touch-typing: https://www.keybr.com/ Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Those sensible precautions include not going to work where it's impossible to follow proper social distancing.

Only work on one task at a time. Do small tasks immediately - reply to that email, merge from master, do that CR, etc. Delaying small tasks tends to abandon them. Keep your workspace clean (physical &…

Every time you see specs like that, imagine the situation that led to those specs. I'm bet at some point the candied cherries being used were too small (e.g. a supplier dumping their leftovers) a…

Exactly - those 50-book encyclopedia sets your parent owned had a surprising number of factual errors, and still required cross-checking to verify their facts. https://en.wikipedia.org/…
