It’s worse than that, it’s Threads, Jim!

thejodie,

It seems that Steve Mould looks progressively more tired in his videos as he goes along.

thejodie,

The masses yearn for the Ford Ranger.

thejodie,

Louis, what mobile device brands are repairable and secure?

thejodie,

I don’t really get a lot of notifications from discord. Sometimes a “server” will @everyone but that’s rare. I usually just disable that feature when I join new servers anyway.

thejodie,

In Alabama that quota for unantlered deer is 1 a day during the season. I’m not moving to Alabama any time soon though.

thejodie,

I would visit Michigan! I’ll keep that in mind.

thejodie,

This thing just never worked for me. As in, the product was broken in several ways all of the time.

Joe Biden Wants US Government Algorithms Tested for Potential Harm Against Citizens (www.wired.com)

Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights....

thejodie,

Sent to my state representative. Thanks!

thejodie,

People try to be overachievers by exceeding expectations and then are often late or delivering a broken product.

It’s hard to tell perfectionists not to be perfectionists though.

How to handle the erasure of your 'digital legacy'?

I’ve been struggling with something for a while now and ironically a sitcom from the 80’s finally helped me pinpoint the problem. My TV was on for background noise and I noticed that it was an episode of Family Ties. In the episode, Elyse Keaton was having a problem. A prominent building that she designed was being torn down...

thejodie,

I am not remembered for the technology I put in place, the tickets I close or the outages I help remediate.

But when I left a job I’d been at for 5 years, I found again that I am remembered for how I make people feel when I interact with them. Just by being myself, I’d been kind to a lot of people who really needed to hear kindness, and I helped a lot of people get started when they were struggling.

What I do in the digital realm will disappear decades before those people forget who I am.

thejodie,

Sounds like TRRRRRRS

thejodie,

Or just use PlayOn to record your shows.

We’re all the way back to recording movies from TV with our VCR.

thejodie,

I got some old celeron N4100 4gb RAM/128gb NVME Thinkpad 11Es for $50ea with the power adapters. With as useful as they’ve been, I’m sold on doing something like that in the future.

thejodie,

All of these and then some.

A small part is that I’m supporting the underdog.

It’s not created by a company that sells ads.

thejodie,

I am in a similar position. I used to post or engage in meaningful discussions on reddit almost every day. I was already reading reddit prior to the digg exodus, but I truly jumped to reddit when digg v4 landed. I never went back to digg to participate.

Oh well. I’ll be on instances here I guess.

The only thing doing tech tests has taught me is that I'm too stupid to do the job I've been doing professionally for the better part of 2 decades.

Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding....

thejodie,

Sometimes those positions are meant for promoting internal candidates, who obviously sat in, conducting the same interviews in the past. So the difficulty is dialed up to “I am Death incarnate!” levels and they then have scoring data to support their selection of the internal candidate. At a friend’s workplace, they’d opened up a 2-3yr exp position to convert a great intern, and had some great 10+yr exp people apply. My friend said that was a little awkward. Even if Mark Russinovich or Linus Torvalds applied for that job, they still had no chance at getting it. I joked that I might put a resume in his manager’s pile for the creator of the tech stack they were interviewing for, just to hear how that reaction was.

That’s probably not representing even… 5% of these gauntlets, but it might make you feel better. Sometimes, it’s the hiring manager fulfilling the letter but not the spirit of some process, but it means they are frustratingly hard on candidates in the process.

And perhaps, ultimately, you have dodged some bullets.

thejodie,

Even home warranties won’t defray much cost, or often have combined limits for annual reimbursement that are lower than you would imagine.

thejodie,

“No bloody A, B, C, or D.”

thejodie,

There’s a big chunk of sites that have WP running but are mostly just static content, confusingly. If you update the content once a month and disable all comments, maybe another tool could fit better there. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

thejodie,

I’ve definitely used WP in that manner as well. At that time there were plugins that would render the pages out to static HTML in object storage. I’m sure there still are, but possibly not the same ones I used.

I just prefer not to use or manage WP whenever possible.
