And, of course, I decided to see what happened if I fired up firefox in webtop and loaded webtop in it. Oops.

Lots of upstream connection errors.

> SOC2 is the best-known infosec certification, and the only one routinely demanded by customers
Maybe in the US. For the rest of the world, ISO27001 is arguably better known.

Maybe, just maybe, it's a reaction to all that's wrong with job titles - https://stackstreet.com/4-problems-with-job-titles/
mopoke | 9 years ago | on: LinkedIn called me a white supremacist because I happen to share a name with one
As an aside, is it too early for my brain or is the "representing your organization" option contradictory?
"Choose if we can show your profile information on your employer's pages" shows "Yes" but the text below "Hide my picture and profile information from showing up in this section of a job detail page?" says "Yes". So is it showing or hiding that?
mopoke | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to Be a Good Technical Lead?
In my experience, a good technical lead won't give commandments from on high. A good technical lead will consult and facilitate a discussion and mediate conflict. They will also be directive when the time is right, but only after having listened and weighed the arguments. They will also be able to explain the rationale behind those decisions.

I get asked this a fair bit so I started to collect a few of my favourite links together in a blog post: http://www.andykelk.net/leadership/the-big-list-of-managemen...
Specifically to new tech lead roles, I'd recommend "Peopleware" and "Behind Closed Doors"
And a couple of articles specific to your situation: http://firstround.com/review/this-90-day-plan-turns-engineer... and https://blog.stackexchange.com/2015/08/developer-turned-mana...

We use SimpleSafe (https://www.simplesafe.net/) which is self-hosted and pretty simple to set up.

Looks like a DNS failure, so adding 199.59.148.12 to your hosts file gives you working t.co links again.

But a lot (most?) cable/satellite stations show ads. So I'm paying for the content with my wallet AND paying by sitting through ads.

Awww, I was disappointed. An updated version of Jetpac (or Atic Atac) would be great.

mopoke | 13 years ago | on: Buying Adobe Photoshop CS6
Trying to get a trial account for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite was nigh-on impossible. The stated time was "5 working days". Unfortunately the exact time we needed it was over the long thanksgiving break in the States.
Even after 5 working days we never got access and have to resort to using the Adobe reseller's account to actually try out the software.

The overuse of "genuine" and "genuinely" in some sections screams LLM text to me.
