I’d say instead of setting up a meeting, just take a second on a quiet day and ask how they’re going, if they want any support or to talk. It still has the same positive effect, but an outright scheduled meeting feels a bit weird, my first assumption for one is negative (though again, it could just be me).

Some great points though, I’m sure they’d recognise the intent to be good.

What the fuck did I just read?

I’m using a PS4 controller since my Xbox controllers are an older design that doesn’t use Bluetooth. With Steam mapping the controls across in everything from UI symbols to functionality, it works spectacularly.

Yeah there’s a lot of foreign influence, some of it successful as well:

Romania’s national security council (CSAT) has declassified two documents this week that reveal a coordinated propaganda campaign that boosted an obscure far-right and pro-Kremlin candidate into the country’s first round of presidential elections.

That’s actually genius, thanks for the tip man

I’d say you’re not using the right filtering, which honestly takes a lot of practice and sheer luck.

Usually if I get garbage results, I try neuroscience -“top 10”, which would remove the generic top 10 reasons for X results. If it’s still self help garbage, then try more keywords like lecture, presentation, or theory. Some searches I straight up can’t figure out though, and the query ends up removing being a mess. In those cases, it’s worth trying again later and seeing if you’ve phrased it won’t.

While I do agree, and more representation is excellent for a healthy debate, it was also quite a rude awakening this morning to read a “fuck you evil people and your abortions” type comment. I think we need to be very careful blocking whole instances, but some people can just fuck off. Maybe more tools for moderation could be beneficial?

It would be interesting to see if we could have admins alerted on early indicators of spam/bots/idiots, e.g. an account made in the past few days has a high downvote ratio, or a dead account suddenly starts high volume comments/posts. Not sure how you’d do it exactly, but it would be interesting to take a look at the application logs and see if it could be fed into a SIEM platform to create these alerts. Then again there’s probably a much better way I don’t know haha.

May not help at all, but one thing I noticed with my prints was that if I removed it before the bed cooled, it would often warp. I’ve since left it until it cools to room temperature and have got much better results.

Does it warp and lift from the base plate during the print, or does it stay stuck down? The former could be because of lack of adhesive and a raft/brim/glue may help, but the latter may just be lifting it off too early.

Unrelated, this is a good thing to hear, I have an old MacBook air 2012 lying around, a supported OS would be handy to make use of the hardware still being in excellent condition.

On places like Bluesky, most articles, videos or news content I’d share would have more to do with how much I trust the person posting or sharing it than with its main body of content. I figure that someone I value has read it, and so I skip it, because reading it would feel like work and I have to deal with enough of that as it is.

Not to mention, “You won’t believe this one cool thing!” type headlines (like this one) are classic clickbaiting, and nobody wants to read a 10 page article that’s basically just advertising.

Thanks man, that’s some solid advice even if my work is a lot more pliable for security. I’d also say that compliance and risk are very good motivation, if you can nmap the servers and SSH in with default credentials and zero alarms during, that could cost millions in data loss, compliance fines, and recovery efforts. Show them solid figures and it’s a hell of a motivator.

It’s funny how people make such sweeping generalisations like they’re prophetic or something. Are some people shit? Sure, some suck at their jobs, and some are arseholes. Does that make all of them evil incarnate? Fuck no.

It’s pretty common in Australia, so long as we’re not swearing at people nobody gives a fuck. I’d say unless your manager has mentioned it to you, it’s not a huge deal.

Google firebase would be the likely answer for serverless architecture, won’t pretend I know anything more to help than that sorry

I’m on jerbora as well and can see the previous person’s pronouns, but it could be an instance specific thing.

Fair enough, it must have just been a fluke I saw a few posts like this in a row

On a tangent, is it just me, or has there been a notable uptick in this type of question? Feels a lot like astroturfing, but so far as I can see there’s been no malicious intent

That’s actually a really interesting part of AI I’d never considered to be a threat, thanks for sharing the link!

If you can optimise those by doing small task while waiting, e.g. when the microwave/oven is running, while you’re watching TV etc. then you can effectively do chores without losing time as well

Depending on the country, your tax laws may also let you get the full cost of job related education and conferences back. I was lucky enough that my employment funded the bulk for me, but in Australia it’s a solid way to keep learning once you’re in the field you’re after.
