You actually agree with me more than you disagree. If they have the mentality to send out clear text passwords, they probably don't hage the natural talent to design an asynchronous system.

Why wouldn't it be generated and sent immediately? If someone has the inclination to do this type of thing, they probably also want to do things synchronously and immediately.
Yeah, if anyone thinks this is bad, they haven't seen what legit alcoholism is like.
It would look like maybe 15 caps per person, but they'd be caps of vodka handles.
Looking for drinks where they are listed is a good rule of thumb to find drinks lower in calories than the average.
Or classic torrents combined with a VPN.
Tesla under pays compared to other car companies.
You could do it if you had to for some reason. But it would be the hackiest thing ever and not work very well.
Duck duck go has kept getting better and google has kept getting worse.
I find the results are pretty even now and often lean in DDG’s favour (but not always, obviously).
Because of this, I’ve set my default everywhere to DDG and give Google a whirl sometimes if that doesn’t work out for a specific search.
Nah. The managers prefer in-office and companies are addicted to “corporate culture” which they can’t control if you’re working from home.
It has nothing to do with firing people (unless you want the most competent people to quit) nor does it have anything to do with real estate (no company will try to help fix a collective action problem voluntarily unless the attempt gives good PR or profits)
I agree. I think people are just missing the point. It’s really far from being able to replace a worker.
It’s current capabilities at best can help that worker be slightly faster at certain things. It’s akin to a type of search engine.
It can generate simple stuff accurately quite often. You just have to keep in mind that it could be dead wrong and you have to test/verify what it says.
Sonetimes I feel like a few lines of code should be doable in one line using a specific technique, so I ask it to do that and see what it does. I don’t just take what it says and use it, I see how it tried to solve it and then check it. For example by looking up if the method it used exists and reading the doc for that method.
Exact same as what I would do if I saw someone on stack overflow or reddit recommending something.
I like it for certain techy things. I just used it to create a linux one-liner command for counting the unique occurances of a regex pattern. I often forget specific flags for Linux commands like how uniq
can perform counting.
And something like that is easy to test each piece of what it said and go from there.
As long as you treat it like a peer who prefaced the statement with “I might be wrong / if I recall correctly” it ends up being a pretty good aid.
My favourite one I’ve done so far: I put a motion sensor near where my cat goes every morning when she wants to look outside. This then opens the blinds enough for her to see.
This works better than a simple timer because the blinds are loud enough to wake us up sometimes and she doesn’t want to necessarily look outside every day.
Millennials, according to Wikipedia,
The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996
After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.
So 1997 would be an older Gen Z
Distinction without a difference in this case.
It’s not commercial real estate. There’s no reason for a CEO to care about real estate. This is just the reason given by people who believe all companies only ever do things for the money. So they’ve made up a reason they think fits.
Why would a company care about the real estate market when it can make more money having its staff work from home? Have you ever seen a company care about something that doesn’t benefit them in the short term?
People keep bringing up real estate because everyone thinks the rich are evil and this move must be money related somehow.
Now, I too think they’re pretty rotten for the most part.
But returning to office is not about real estate.
Companies are ruthless and if they can increase profits at all, they will do pretty much anything to do so. Firing long-time workers, destroying the planet, etc. So if they had to destroy the real estate market to make more money, they would.
My point here is that if it was just about money, everyone would remain WFH. They could downsize the office, or even lease out the space to the companies that are returning to the office.
So then why are they doing it? It’s their preference. They prefer having their underlings in the building and enjoy seeing everyone from their corner office. They like feeling powerful which is harder to do when everyone who works for them is at home.
They might also have the kind of personality where they get more work done with others around, and they can’t imagine it being different for other people. Many high-up executives only got that far because they have very extroverted personalities.
Not everything a rich person does is strictly about money. Otherwise they wouldn’t buy mansions, supercars, private planes, etc. Apple wouldn’t have built the billion dollar donut office. They do these things because they’re powerful and want others to know.
Candles were once a significant cost. But lightbulbs are incredibly cheap.
Food used to take a whole day to acquire.
We have things that even royalty didn’t have before, like air conditioning, out-of-season food, international travel, etc.
Capitalism sucks for sure. But it has given society a few benefits, and sometimes things do get significantly cheaper long term (but I’m generally skeptical about which items will go that way)
I think it’s almost at the point where the only games that don’t work are games with anti cheat that refuse to play nicely.
