There is a tendency to think that each new hire is always the far-and-away best match of all candidates and so any influence that diversity policies might have is at the detriment of a superior candidate. In my experience with hiring, the f

I feel that the rules should contain some examples. I spent a while battling a puzzle to realise that I had been interpretting "No more than two similar numbers next to or below each other are allowed." as "A box must have no

I feel like a duolingo course would be too prescriptive, which essentially defeats the point of Toki Pona. Toki Pona is not about direct translation, but reflecting on how to make yourself a better communicator by thinking about what other

I don't see what your point is. A news story that happened in Europe was more noted in Europe than one in the US?

The UX is a hurdle. There are inconsistencies and the last time I played, third-party utilities were pretty much mandatory in order to manage your dwarves effectively. That said, the great thing about the UI is that once you've learned

On the topic of localisation, I really love how it has the local names for places (Roma, Bruxelles, etc.)

>Girls are free to study what they want. Of course, but when the disparity is so large we should at least question why that is. Are girls biologically less inclined to find any appeal in STEM, or is it due to upbringing? This course appe

Yes. Regardless of anyone's stance on them, these stereotypes exist right now and are being re-inforced by society. It's not easy to break down cultural barriers, and doing so in one fell swoop is near impossible. Employing these

While the use-cases for cruise control are more limited with a manual transmission, I wouldn't go as far as to say the two are incompatible. I would never use it in heavy-traffic and rarely on a single-carriageway (i.e. anywhere that t

I remember playing through TR2 with my brother as youngsters. I don't think he's forgiven me for 'progressing' in the level by killing a couple of enemies, using all the medkits, and overwriting the only save with low he

I believe it's an issue with time resources. I would argue that new emoji characters are one of the less important uses of Unicode [1]. You are right that it is entirely up to the members of the Unicode consortium to manage their effor

Chrome has google accounts to synchronise recently viewed pages across devices. This is just Mozilla's response. There is already a popular extension, so why re-invent the wheel?
