    I spend time in every one of my coding classes teaching people how to Google errors

    A surprisingly large part of having expertise in a topic is not so much knowing everything about it but learning the language and sources well enough to be extremely efficient in google searches.

    If you're wondering what street parking (#2) has to do with it, here on the left you'll notice the curbside waste bins common in cities around the world. In NYC we still dump our trash on the sidewalks because our mayor is too afraid to remove street parking to do this.

    I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

    did a "meeting de-frag" a couple years ago, where they set slots for types of meetings to occur (standups in this 2-hour block, working group meetings on fridays, etc). made it easier to schedule across teams. might be a nice thing to bolt onto the end of a reset.

    radical idea from : a recurring meeting reset. 1. cancel all recurring meetings. 2. don't allow any recurring meetings to be (re)created for X weeks. (ad-hoc meetings still fine.) 3. after that, allow recurring meetings to re-form as necessary.

    working in government is endlessly frustrating, but one piece of "bureaucracy" i greatly value are the ethics rules. the Principles of Ethical Conduct are surprisingly good at helping to guide how to do our jobs responsibly 🇺🇸

    I need to buy a new computer and I’m REALLY bad at figuring out how much storage I’ll need in the future Can someone help me understand how to decide between 256GB vs 512GB in very simple terms [examples are helpful]
