Right, and a malicious litigant will argue that the feedback they received represents discrimination against a protected class. It doesn't matter if they're wrong so long as you're still forced to come to court to defend it.

These are all likely enough to contribute, but there's one big one. If you don't say anything at all, the applicant has nothing to go on for a lawsuit against you. If you say anything, and the applicant is a malicious litigant, yo

But the street could have been designed in a way that was safe for a seven year old to cross. Instead of was designed with little to no thought of how anyone could be safe in that space outside of a car. It's demonstrably possible to f

If you already have 15 years of muscle memory for efficient use of git it's probably not that valuable to you. AFAIU jj's goal is to allow people to be as effective in a workflow like you describe without having to stumble through

Seems like there's room then in the Maven ecosystem that does what maven-enforcer-plugin does, but which just looks at a lockfile to make its decisions.

A thing to realize here is that there is no "fundamentally, cosmically true" in math. While math can be used to model reality, it is not bound by reality. The only thing that matters is what you choose to take as granted for a par
