Kaotique

This could the beginning of the end for SEO content. The value of these companies will go up for now because of more content and therefor more engagement, but after the world is flooded with mass generated content the engagement will drop and content will eventually become worthless.

I have dozens of 2FA codes now that requires searching for the correct one and I have to store backup codes in physical form. Which probably a lot of people keep unencrypted on their desktop somewhere.

With the Digid app you just need to remember the pin code or unlock with face id. The app generates the codes for each login and then you just scan the QR. It's very simple to use.

Recently I lost my phone and had to set everything up again. I had to start digging for 2fa backup codes, but Digid I could easily set up again using the NFC chip in my passport.

7. Using this can be pretty dangerous. What if a person is very fair and honest about everything with the intend to screw you over big time later? And on the other hand if a person does some silly cheating in a friendly game and get caught right away, how dangerous can they really be for big stuff? There will probably be a lot if signs before that happens.

Most of the advice can be easily spun around to "prove" the exact opposite.

Glad the latter does not design rockets, planes and cars.

It's like telling someone that throwing all their stuff in one huge box is always better than using smaller boxes. Obviously it depends on the situation.

While it is indeed total insanity it could easily be avoided by putting quotes around all string values.

If they want to add complexity and put in extra work they can do it on their own pet project. Sure they want to invest the extra time now but are they also going to maintain it forever with extra effort or what happens when they leave? It seems you already have perfectly valid arguments to explain your decisions.

Just say no. There are probably many more reasons to keep you on board than to let you go because you didn't write a blog post.

The difference for me personally: Web3/NFT/Crypto: what? why? DALL-E/ChatGPT: wow!

Looks really nice!

The containerisation part is where it shines. Collecting and running any dependency for your image with the Dockerfile make it very flexible and independent of the host platform.

I can agree that the problems start on the edge between the host platform and the containers like networking and mounted volumes, conflicting user and group ids.

But it has been perfectly acceptable for many companies to run employees into the ground with countless unpaid overtime work. It is just the first time in history employees have some leverage and practical options to swing the balance into their favor.

They keep talking about KPIs and metrics, but they still expect you to work a certain amount of "hours". A big percentage is just chatting and walking around. I would say that I work much more effectively from home. A lot of managers just like to see a buzzing office as if that is some performance metric.

Two full time jobs is probably overdoing it. As long as you do your job correctly and you delivery the quality and quantity that is expected it should be fine to work on the side.

Except when someone wants to drill a hole to hang a painting. You can hear that multiple floors up or down. I live in a 30 story building and the drilling noise in a real nuisance.

What I don't understand is why Meta/Facebook thinks you are only a real person if you are a musician. You cannot just upload a picture of your passport and a couple of bank statements. You know, the way any other company verifies the identity of a person?

I have never experienced a truly Agile or a truly Waterfall project. It has always been a mixed bag of approaches and ideas depending on the project, the client and team.

There is a reason there are managers and planners in every company. Projects are messy in all different ways.

Be flexible and keep an open mind. Try different things and figure out what works best for you.

We need blogs again. I am sorry, but I cannot read an otherwise interesting writeup because of this insane format.

There are many other metrics that do not involve AB testing. You can just survey customer experience before, during and after a purchase for example. I never said to throw out all metrics.

With AB testing your are optimising for a specific outcome. Usually higher conversion. As pointed out in the article eventually you'll end up with a bunch of colourful buttons and scary texts that persuade the user to click. A lot of the "only 2 seats/rooms available" are lies to scare the user into a conversion.

It did not mean it too seriously, of course there are also good AB tests, but there are a lot of bad ones out there. Those are what the article was about.

(edited for clarification)

AB testing shows zero respect to your customers. It is the equivalent of testing your theories on lab rats.

Instead try to improve the customer experience, make better products, improve customer service.

Charities are also overflowing with goods. They keep the nicest items and the rest end up on the trash heap anyway.

Those items are probably never resold. They just throw them.

Mattresses are big. They stand out when left on the side of the road.

This is not really that surprising. Most items that are returned are never resold as "new" anyway. Return goods are thrown in the trash right away or sold with a discount in their own stores or sold to discounters.

They just offered return shipping as a service to the customer. It was all smoke and mirrors in the first place. If return shipping cost more than selling to discounters or handling the trash they will just let you keep the goods.

The damage Amazon, Zara, Primark and the likes are doing to this world is gigantic. Destroying the environment, tearing down worker rights, using close to slave labour, shipping their trash to poor countries, wasting fuel and resources.

Fun and weird has moved into TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram with stickers, music, sounds and overlays. It allows millions of people to enjoy creating fun and weird things and not only the handful of people who want to mess around with html snippets.

I miss it too, but we are the minority.

More income will result in higher expectations. Bigger house, more expensive car, branded clothes, eating out in fancier restaurants, etc. Some stuff you can hardly avoid like a mortgage.

I think most single people would have an easier time being frugal, but if you have a partner good luck with that. And if you have children you are stuck in the ratrace to send them to the most expensive schools and out of school activities.

If you would earn 250k, would you live in a trailer and take the bus to work?

I can hardly blame people. We are constantly bombarded with ads to buy buy buy. Max out your creditcards, invest in crypto, buy a boat, buy a car, fly around the world for holidays.

Before you know it you cannot get out anymore, no matter what your income is.

You are very lucky. I had so many issues with external monitors. I have regularly seen coworkers fiddling with dongles, cables and trying different monitors.

The issue seems also software related because if you would try the same screen or dongle with another MacBook it works fine, but it keeps failing on the malfunctioning MacBook. It is infuriating because the interface provides zero feedback.

The most annoying bug for me is when you "unplug in the wrong order" and the MacBook screen does not wake up when not plugged to an external monitor. You have to go back to your monitor and replug it and then "unplug in the correct order".

If you need to do so much work to make a single carpool lane you really have to think if that is the best solution in the first place. You already have too many cars. The obvious solution is reducing the existing number of cars. Open a couple extra bus routes and turn one of the existing lanes into a bus lane.

I think being completely honest about it is the best approach. You can immediately filter companies that are unwilling to create a good environment for you right away. No need to torture yourself by going to standard interviews. I am sure there are a lot of companies willing to accommodate you. Not sure what the local rules are, but a lot of places have special programs for people with disabilities. It might help to get tested so you can apply trough those special programs.

Anecdotally; the company where I work has hired people who had problems with social interactions. We even had special workplaces away from the rest of the employees where they could site and code all day.

I think a lot of times a redesign is simply used as a tool for a manager/exec to have an impact, any impact really. It does not matter so much if the net result is positive or negative. It looks good on their resume. "Joined company X and spearheading redesign project of X". Designer companies love it, they can let their imagination run wild and the managers will gobble up whatever they come up with.

This happens on all levels really. If it is a huge company like Pepsi or Tropicana or for example my high school which "rebranded" and all the students including me had to stamp thousands and thousands of exam paper with the new logo.

Haha, my bad.

How can some entity move 200-300TB but have no finances to pay for it while having a multi layer management team? I really don't understand any of it.
