I was surprised to find out there is a mandatory vaccine for chickenpox now (at least in Ontario). It is mandatory for all children born after 2010. When I was a kid there wasn't, in fact you would intentionally expose your child to it

For the significant number of people that live in the area surrounding Toronto and work downtown it is sometimes the best option. Driving to work, including gas and parking, costs me only a few dollars more per day than taking the GO train

It's not blocked off. You are only allowed to make a left or right turn when you are on King St.; you're not allowed to travel on it for more than one block. There are jersey barriers by some TTC stops but they're in place to

StackOverflow has extremely high standards, yes, but it is an extremely professional atmosphere. I have never seen someone 'doxxed' on the platform and if someone did it would get shutdown quick. I suspect you don't know what

A person (and other entities) can be legally considered an enemy of the state if they engage in 'hostilities' towards the US per 50 USCS § 2204. Although I think this would include people like Osama Bin Laden rather than Edward Sn

Just saying, speak for yourself, I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like to be steriotyped by ignorant people for laughs based on my nationality. As for the regional steriotypes about different provinces being 'fun'

>We tend to love it when we’re satirized in the media, particularly American media. I don't at all. I find the same overplayed Canadian jokes from Americans extremely tiring and patronising. Don't use 'we' to refer to

I wonder if the Canadian government can get an exemption for national security reasons. (/s)

Not to be pedantic but every country has places you can get killed for trespassing.

Yours is a fair opinion and I can't come up with any reason why it's wrong. Personally I like it because it clearly separates keywords from objects (tables, columns, databases, etc). This is very much like the tabs vs. spaces deba

Doing a good thing doesn't cancel out the bad, but I don't think it's fair to anonymously call people assholes on the Internet when they are actively trying, and succeeding, at doing good in the world. Especially when their s

Suggesting the largest philanthropic donor in history (Bill Gates at 27 billion USD) is an asshole ('MS is now under a leader who isn't an asshole') seems like an oversimplification.

You can't really blame them for the second point, that's an Apple limitation. I use OpsGenie on Android and I have a specific sound set for the new alert notification. It will also audibly alert me at max volume regardless of my r

I thought this was about a literal fire in a DC. It would have been a more interesting read than the classic and often told tale of 'dev makes one tiny, harmless change in prod without testing and trouble ensues.'

They don't prescribe Ambien in Canada, although they do prescribe Zopiclone which is a cousin of it.

ThinkPad hardware and Apple hardware are very different, from a design perspective and also repairability. Similar specs maybe.

Thanks. The state (or most states) tacks some on as well, right? If I was not self-employed my employer/client and I would be paying into Employment Insurance and Canadian Pension plan as well, but I'm able to skip that as I own m

You're on the hook for income tax where I live regardless of whether you're contract or employee. I'm a contractor so my only additional cost is really health insurance (much cheaper in Canada since the basics are covered by

I was expecting way more. That's less than the salary I would expect them to pay a sysadmin over 2 years.
