There is rarely a situation where you should allow your employer to match the offer you have in hand.
They had the opportunity to do so and then failed to properly retain you. If they realize how much losing you will cost them in productivity, that’s on them, not you.
It’s not personal. It’s literally business.
There is a saying in engineering.
Anyone can build a bridge.
It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.
It was a one-time spell for the son of the main dev.
I’ll admit it took some doing to find.
I wish there was a good way to store a backup of my media. I recently suffered a terrible hard drive issue. I lost a terabyte of media. Fortunately, the pirate ship has saved me and has me rethinking some of my backup methodologies.
Outside of periodically backing up onto an external hard drive, I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced online backup solution that isn’t going to fuck me when I have to pull data out. Egress fees are killer.
I remember one interview I had with a candidate. It was for a database analyst position that required SQL.
The first round was typically a phone screen where I chat with the candidate, get to know them a bit.
Second round was code review. I asked them to do a SQL query that did x.
The queries were simple. The goal was to get the candidate to walk through the query.
I had one candid that, over screen share, wrote the query flawlessly. Then I asked them to explain what it was doing. The candidate froze.
I can get understand getting nervous so I moved onto an insert statement. I had them write one and then do another without using certain terms (often leading to a sub query).
Again, flawless. I asked what situations would you use one over the other.
Again, they froze. I started to get suspicious that they were cheating and had them, instead of typing the answer, say the answer. When they couldn’t, I knew enough that it wasn’t going to work.
When evaporated data condenses and the air gets super saturated.
Duh
The problem is that the people who hold the rights don’t want to share. They want that sweet, sweet, monthly subscription income. They don’t want to compete because that means they’ll potentially earn less and have to spend more.
I tell people about fmovies every chance I get because it has just about anything you are looking for. I’ve only run into a few titles they don’t have.
No registration, completely free, and easy to use.
Yes but this wasn’t a data breach. This was a data stuffing incident, meaning they took someone else’s data dump and tried their email and credentials here.
Reddit was going down hill long before the API paywall. That was certainly the final nail.
I’d say the first nail in the coffin was when they fired Victoria.
The only correct regex for email is: .+@.+
So long as the address has a local part, the at sign, and a hostname, it’s a valid email address.
Whether it goes somewhere is the tricky part.
Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I’ve noticed that a lot of websites will only accept .com and a few will only accept email addresses from popular providers (Gmail, Hotmail, outlook, etc.)
My guess is that it’s trying to reduce spam and fake account generation.
I hate that the OG barcode scanner doesn’t work on my pixel anymore.
Another useful Google app killed.
Barcodes that can accept text (Besides QR):
Yup. I took a class on military history and my professor said that what wins wars is not weapons but logistics.
I’m trying to remember and too lazy to rewatch or look it up.
Didn’t Neelix make a coffee substitute that was as good? It was when they were trying to save on replicator rations.
I once had a recipe that required two and a half eggs.
Wtf am I going to do with half an egg?
Anyone else remember the first ad-pocalypse?
Like when OG AdBlock was created and there was an all-out race between individual websites and AdBlock?
Then OG AdBlock sold out and allowed “approved” ads to still show.
We are seeing history repeat. The only reason ads survived was due to increasing number of users who weren’t using adblock.
Now, with market saturation, Google is starting to fight back.
I would absolutely love to see a revitalization on proxy software specifically designed to eliminate ads and tracking. I haven’t looked into this in quite some time but I think we’re crossing into this territory now.
The pessimist in me says to look out for a bill authored by Google to make adblocking illegal.
But the optimist in me says “the Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”
See I’d want something similar but for my various online accounts and infrastructure. For example, my family knows Jack about my AWS instances. They’d have to hire someone to make sure that they got shut down.
So a script to set up various items so that upon my death AWS will stop billing would be amazing.
That and to delete my porn, format my drives, and delete my internet history. Actually, just a script to slag the drives would be the best.
The CVS app is my favorite example of this. Their app (at least on Android) is a fucking browser.
Walgreens is an actual app and works the way you expect it to.
