I wonder though how many of those increased hours go into actual work. I'm sure some amount does, but how much time do you think the typical European office workers spends on a Reddit or Facebook as opposed to an American one. As an Am

Well, your salary is something of a sunk cost. Now depending on the amount of time spent managing that GitLab server, it might make financial sense. If it is truly easy to maintain as they seek, and claim, then it just might make sense. Con

Did you read TFA? It says they were both subletters and were not on the same lease. He wasn't a landlord, he wasn't on the hook for Ulbrich's half of the rent. He wanted a friend, not a tool for a roommate.

It's certainly important to make sure your employees understand the real message. At a previous company, lots of folks were fired or "resigned" and a lot of us in the engineering side would comment on it from time to time, an

That's ultimately true of any framework, but ORMs are a beast all their own. Having a light abstraction framework on top of SQL, that ultimately respects it, makes a huge difference at the end of the day. No magic, just results. I'

The Coursera Functional Programming Principles in Scala[0] course is definitely worth the time. Coming from being a Java programmer in my day job, it's made my Scala I've written since a lot cleaner, in my opinion. It's also

Maybe I'm skewed - I'm from South Carolina - but I don't necessarily view unions as a monstrosity, surprisingly. I do hear the horror stories, but there must be some middle ground.

Not every union is a political powerhouse capable of doing such. Eventually you'll reach a point where it becomes economically feasible for a company to wholesale fire it's drivers and roll out it's fleet of driverless cars.

I hope they unionize and demand higher wages. Higher costs for human drivers will increase the incentive for driver-less cars, right?
