Been using fastmail for years, and I'm very happy with their spam filter. Never had spam in my inbox, and very rarely see non-spam in the spambox.

And in Europe, being able to unionize is considered a human right, meaning companies aren't legally allowed to try to oppose it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Convention_on_Human_R...

I'm not GP, but we're from the same country. There's multiple benefits from being unionized, even if you're the only one in your company to be in that particular union: - Your union is likely to negotiate salaries and be

There's been a decent amount of those in the wild, too. If you're in an environment without unicode auditing you can do all sorts of crazy things without IOCCC levels of code tricks too.

Sorry for the confusion, but you did indeed decipher my meaning (if-statements)! I agree that if- expressions are far more readable in languages that support them (Python and Haskell come to mind for me), even though they're arguably

The key to winning Othello is getting the corners. Controlling the edges helps a ton in getting the corners. Avoid the 2x2 corner areas unless you know you can get the corners. Using these tips alone should help you (easily?) beat the AI he

To me personally, the use case for ?: is selecting a value for a const: const value = cond ? a : b; Using an if instead would mean you can't make it const, and is usually more convoluted to read. For pretty much all other use

In Norway you need to have a (mutual) period of notice of at least 1 month, starting at the change of month. (I.e. getting fired now means working until at least 31 Jan). Contracts usually increase this to three months. This is usually bene

And Splinter Cell (2002) had curtains that moved around you as you passed under them. Many games had individual features that were innovative physics-wise, but I still think HL2 and Doom 3 were the big mind blowing ones, both for me persona

And just six years between that and HL2/Doom 3, the first big games to introduce proper physics. Shooting a box and watch it move, or the pick up a soda can/shipping container and throw it around was mind blowing at the time. Not

While 3DO may not have been a success, at least you could play the legendary HoMM3 and Star Control II on it.

Some games are so complex that AI on the higher difficulty levels resorts to cheating. I understand the rationale behind it, but it has always rubbed me the wrong way.

The easiest and most reasonable option would be to honor GDPR and similar laws. If you scam people in country A from country B, you're criminally liable to country A even if it's not a crime in country B. Same if it's espiona

As already pointed out, civilian transponders are not really "IFF", they're a tool for ATC to keep track of you. Military IFF transponders don't emit unless they get interrogated by a valid code, and then only briefly. T
