Re: the website not the article. It makes me so mad when they set the redirects to make it impossible to navigate away from the page.

I have worked remotely since 2018 and camera-on is certainly the only way to go. Sure, large meetings or recorded sessions mine gets turned off. Cameras on for meeting where you are actually involved is an absolute necessity for trying to make the human connection.

I don’t fully understand the “I won’t turn my camera on” insistence. This is akin to someone in-office bringing a curtain into a conference room saying “don’t look at me”.

I’ve always had that as a question as well. I never remember hearing an alibi or why he wasn’t a suspect.

All this “smart” stuff kills me for basic appliances that no Wi-Fi should ever be needed for.

Example: I am in the process of building a custom home with the ability to purchase whatever we want - when looking at ovens I told the salesperson that I didn’t want anything that has to connect to the internet and the response was that I would need to pick out something lower end because everything “high end” has the connectivity now. Even dishwashers.

True. I’m reading this as an attempt to move into the enterprise auth space (e.g. Okta).

The diamond water paradox is one of the first concepts learned in an introductory Econ class; hopefully not until a “history” class.

I was an Econ professor in the past and this was quite literally the first thing I spoke about in introductory courses. This is the analogy used to describe what the science of economics is, the study of the allocation of scarce resources.

In the US military “scuttlebutt” refers to gossip. So that’s my first reaction to this name.

You should turn Slack off outside business hours! And, remove from your phone. If there is a true emergency, this is why people are on call.

This applies equally to whether wfh or in office.

Wouldn’t these listings with pictures be available somewhere? This doesn’t sound too interesting to take pictures of homes listed for sale.

I know this is about bash, but for zsh, autojump is absolutely amazing.

Love how Haskell makes it into both loved and dreaded languages.
