Re:Making the web fun again (2013) on Thursday January 04, 2024 @02:03PM (#38870894)
This was a period where web site discovery services like Stumbleupon were all the rage. It was like spinning the Wheel of Fortune anticipating where you'd land. It was fun! Then poof. It disappeared.
WFH is a huge improvement in the work-life balance metric. You provide WFH and at least half of that W-LB issue is solved.
Re:Important Team and Business Changes on Thursday May 04, 2023 @09:38AM (#35815132)
I'm in the BI space. I'll answer anecdotally since I pay attention to the job boards in the US quite a bit. I've got no hard data for my assertion full disclosure. For the last 3 months entry level work has dried up. I'm seeing very few postings for underling positions. Mid level 4-7 years jobs have markedly declined as I'm seeing fewer postings across this same time span month over month. 7+ years experience seems to be flat, but not down as the other tranches of work. You asked for a sense. That's my sense.

Cohen plead guilty to the hush money as an excessive personal campaign contribution. Going forward, it's not likely that the contribution can be recharacterized for the purposes of charging DJT with a crime. This case is going to be tossed out of court.
Re:Americans want to delete Instagram more than any other app on Wednesday March 08, 2023 @12:59PM (#35072384)
We have no idea who you objectively are and don't care.
"The former mayor has offered a number of explanations for the missing messages, including that she dropped her phone in water, that she inadvertently changed the phone’s deletion settings and that “someone” set a new phone to delete messages older than 30 days, resulting in a rolling deletion of previous messages."

Could the writers of this piece not come up with a more lurid and entertaining headline?

Layoffs hurt. But at the end of the day, save for a little empathy, no one really cares.

A trite example, but your HOA dues are likely going up not because the cost of maintaining common areas has increased that much, but your HOA management and legal salaries have been adjusted for "cost of living."

Re:Byte Magazine: The C Programming Language (1983) on Friday September 09, 2022 @12:33PM (#32781399)
Imagine how I feel! I was heading into my sophomore year in high school in 1983, the same month this article came out. I wasn't a subscriber to BYTE then, but the memories of us learning Assembler and C at the time are almost as vivid now as they were back then.
Re:Hacker News is a masterpiece on Monday August 29, 2022 @09:54AM (#32638274)
Like all things internet, if its history isn't being curated and cataloged, yesterday links eventually break and old content is lost. This is the only weakness in an otherwise solid technical and professional atmosphere.

"Deftly removing noxious propagandists is good" She writes.

Twitter notably didn't care until their reach became too much counterweight to the approved political philosophy and the analytics were showing sky rocketing monetization from these shock jocks.

Howard Stern can objectify every female that walks onto his set, but God forbid Hillary Clinton get relentlessly mocked by the right on Twitter.
