So my question is why was the article written? You just described a systemic issue with SV companies replacing FTE with contractors, then ask why someone would write an article about that? How many companies should the article have includ

The problem is finding a physio that's worth a shit. I've dealt with serious injuries and complications (and recovered) over many years and I can tell you that most of the physios, chiros, trainers, and acupuncturists are no more

Why are we acting like this is a bad thing? Is your argument that there are no downsides to a shrinking population? I'm not so sure the evidence would support such a stance.

It’s, uh, really not that bad. I rarely notice banner ads and the like. If a particular site gets really egrigious, I leave the site. Yeah, I never understood why people purposefully visit sites full of ads and then complain that the site

I've had a similar experience as the GP, and I find it awful that autoplay videos will follow you around the page, pop-up modals will interrupt you in the middle of reading something, and ads will take up 40% or more of the page, load

Filtering crap like this sounds reasonable but very quickly becomes an exercise in what I call "Giving a mouse a cookie." Now you have a huge complex chunk of code to parse and filter URLs/URIs and every look-alike you can t

Fasting combined with exercise sounds like a recipe for overeating after the fact.

You seem so unsure about your own point that you immediately downplay a users concerns about spending $250 a year by reducing that number to $5. Why the need to fabricate a theoretical number when someone provided you with a specific value?

What stops you from using Slack for one-on-one conversations? I am remote and I would say at least 80% of my time in Slack is spent in conversations with one, maybe two, people.

That can be cathartic, but normalizing hostility towards users will ultimately hurt both you and your project. Does it? In ways that are worse than what the devs are dealing with as mentioned in the OP? That sounds like a pretty big assum

"The interface of the OS"--what interface? I promise you I'm not being pedantic. Sure you are.
432.
by Goronmon 8y ago
I understand the mechanics, but from a usability perspective it makes no sense that you can uninstall the interface of the OS you are using just by uninstalling a language dependency.

I was playing around with different versions and at one point uninstalled 2 and 3 in an attempt to fix something funky I was seeing. Apparently that was a bad idea, as removing Python also removed the Ubuntu desktop, so when I rebooted I wa

I mean, if one of your requirements for a laptop is that "It has to run macOS." then worrying about touchbars/keyboards/etc is mostly pointless since you have to buy whatever Apple is offering.

I think it's combination of: * The person who pushed for the Inbox project got the promotion/raise they desired and move onto other new projects for further advancement. * Inbox was too good at quickly managing email, and Google w

I assume it's a combination: * If the robots need to "reach" for items, you have to figure out balance/stability issues regardless of how many wheels you have. * The fewer the wheels used, the smaller the footprint of th

I think the goal is to institute a policy that encourages people to avoid it through services like VPN. Then you get to go after VPN services to "protect law and the children", then the UK is able to more effectively spy on and tr

If people bought the same number of chickens from separate smaller farms instead of one big farm, would that actually make any difference?

Were they defending corporate cheese or just against the idea of letting the economy nosedive and hope for the best?

Less than 20 people playing out of 800 seems to be a pretty effective boycott to me.

Why is a planned end point necessary? An average of say $100k per year isn't impacted whether you pay that person $50k for 6 months or $200k for two years.

But at least if the original play store apps have spyware issues, you can generally find a developer/company behind them to blame. If Google updates the Gmail app to include a bitcoin miner, people are going to find out and be pissed a

Then it's not a standup. Maybe you can find another way to achieve the same aim, or maybe Scrum isn't suited to remote workplaces (I don't have enough experience either way) I haven't had too many problems with online

Who do you tip at the grocery store? Those products don't just materialize on store shelves. Who do you tip at the self-service gas station? The gas doesn't just get to the pump by itself. Who you tip when you buy something from A

Only the "worst crimes imaginable" are worthy of prosecution? That doesn't sound right.

Not if the contract also includes an endless non-compete clause preventing you from ever finding another job.

Tagging requires constant manual intervention, I gave up trying to use tags years ago.

Yeah, the downside to getting used to the trackpoint is that I don't know if I can ever switch to a laptop without one. Trackpads feel so clunky now.

Who is going to lend tens of thousands of dollars to an 18 year old with no income, no assets, and no credit? So, just to be clear 18 year olds getting tens of thousands in dischargeable loans is ridiculous, but 18 year olds getting te

You're exactly right. Working with the military is exactly the same as helping the Nazis.
