Good luck convincing the government (or local councils) of Bulgaria to migrate to an office suite that’s available in French or English only. That’s beside the sibling comment’s point that this suite is not complete enough (yet).

In a school context, it is (or should be) just as important to consider each child’s need for being appropriately challenged as it is to consider their need for support.

Strictly speaking, evolution selects for viable offspring, not simply surviving. But that’s a nitpick, quite beside your point.

It isn’t, in this case.

Keep in mind for most users of the service, the ID was not issued by the US government.

On what grounds could they sue?

What’s your proposed mechanism for how audio waves would induce brain waves?

Author doesn’t spell out why they are not naming them, but my guess is they are trying to not promote the product to malicious actors who would be interested in the sleep data of others. I guess that’s not a huge problem, though, since all

Should be illegal to pay someone less than the cost of living. The free labor ”market” has clearly not managed to solve the problem. (BYW that’s my proposed solution for the tipping problem, too, to stick to the topic.)

A 30$ tip? Does this company not give their drivers a wage, or something?

Obl. nitpick: you mean paranoia, presumably. Schizophrenia is a dissociative/psychotic disorder, paranoia is the irrational belief that you’re being persecuted/watched/etc. Btw, in this case it can’t be paranoia since the bel

It’s clear that the discussion has stretched the metaphor of wolves far beyond its breaking point. The point was that developers (or indeed people in general) do not work the way wolves do, and I’m not reading great arguments to the contra

A ”lone wolf” with a manager is a contradiction in terms.

by Jolter 8mo ago
Lone wolves are not happy animals, though. They are less successful in hunts, they can’t take down large prey at all. They don’t generally produce offspring. They’re an unfortunate effect of the social structure of wolves, where young males

Right, but you still have to define every ”verb” your plan will have, their ”arguments”, etc. Not need to write a parser (even Java can serialize/deserialize stuff), as you say, but you have to meta-engineer the tool. Not just script a

I like that idea! For an application like Terraform, Ansible or the like, it seems ideal. For something like in the article, I’m pretty sure a plan mode is overkill though. Planning mode must involve making a domain specific language or dat

I worked in telecoms back then, and I don’t recall 3G having any precise location mechanism. Most handsets back then did not have GPS receivers, and as such they could only tell you a pretty rough estimate of your position, based on multite

I figure that’s an architectural in-joke. The engineers will add ugly stuff because you didn’t consider stuff like HVAC or electricity.

That’s why they announce this on the sellers’ news page. To stop it on the input side.

Because if they take Amazon to court, they no longer have a business. Amazon effectively is a large part of American retail, which they cannot afford to not be on.

You’re not wrong, but honest question: do Fairphone actually have EU manufacturing as a goal? First I’ve heard of it.

by Jolter 9mo ago
Same as any other major employer, surely? At least, you’re describing how it works at my previous employer (large private enterprise).

They’re hardly pioneers; my wife’s employer switched from Apple to Fairphone as the pre-selected option a few years ago. They have about 10k employees.

You seem to have a somewhat decent grasp of the facts, but honestly, if you don’t work on your tone, your posts will keep getting downvoted. If you like to yell at scream and call people incompetent, go off to Twitter or some other place th

Who, Chavez? He died in 2013.
118.
by Jolter 9mo ago
I didn’t pretend that. Still, he was elected and the 1998 election is largely uncontested as far as I’m aware.

Chavez was the result of democratic elections, before he grabbed dictatorial powers.

”Following the war on social media” is a highway to poor psychological health, so I’ve avoided that after the first few weeks of the Russian invasion. In retrospect, I think I’m better off for having missed these far-right talking points. E
