I think it's a bit worse than that though. Why does an organisation that has more than enough money to achieve its current and long term goals, appeal to their site visitors that they really need more money? The ads are in my opinion d

It's only guaranteed employment in certain countries. I completed my PhD in the UK, and I got funding that just about covered living expenses, and this is normally only for 3 years (13.500 pounds a year). The 4th and last year, normall

The article is about how they moved an existing (fast) implementation in Haskell in UTF-16 to an even faster implementation in Haskell by switching to UTF-8. This is stated in the first paragraph. The post they reference, is also very hones

Median incomes really are stagnating. See e.g. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/real-wages-and-liv... That's until 2015 and doesn't even take the recent energy hikes into account.

I had a great time reading the essay. The information and concept density of this essay is higher, and reading this essay reminded me of reading a good book. I think the author advertised their book honestly in the sense that the essay like

I'm not sure I fully get the question. The landscape of romance novels might be getting different now, but from what I used to see, a lot of the older romance novels feature mainly standard heterosexual romance. So I'm not sure wh

It looked reasonable to me. Pessary was part of regular sex education for my school. I was surprised the numbers were so low, but this might be sex education in the US not discussing this. Checksum you'll encounter as a term when you u

I would assume that's the case because it's commonly used in pornography (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shemale ) and males statistically watch more pornography.

I think you're still missing OP's point. Sure, using ftp/sftp or scp is pretty easy for a software engineer, or technology enthusiast. However, that doesn't mean a content creator is happy to learn it, since as OP said,

The chart is slightly misleading, in the sense that the ranges shown are more like the very strong average sleeping patterns across babies. It doesn't mean that none of them woke up for a quick feed. But even without a feed, sleeping f

Part of the issue of the woman in the video is that her left side isn't working well due to MS, while her legs/feet are working pretty fine. The assistep does not seem to solve her problem, and also seems like it would still be ri

There's also a reason it's much higher in the UK (I don't know about France) and it's the online component. The UK has long card numbers for debit cards, often usable online with just your credit card number + CVV, simil

Having performed interviews at Google for about 5 years, I don't think the needing to "know how to write a value to a sequence of bytes" is representative indeed. Many of current junior candidates use Java/Python in whic

Maybe this is the case with companies that announced "permanent 100% WFH", but Google never announced this. As someone working at Google, there was never any surprise Google did not announce a permanent WFH solution, since it has

That is certainly not the case in general. It is not the case in the Netherlands, nor is it the case in the UK and Switzerland. Particularly in the Netherlands there are collective working agreements (CAO), which have set up arrangements wi

I don't think this is shallow. It's part of our core human being to try and propagate our genes, and there are good personal reasons for preferring this over adoption as well. Pregnancy can make it easier to relate to the child be

As someone who has done plenty of physical jobs over the years, I found the physical jobs much more satisfying. This is for someone who is not even in that great a shape. Sure I was very tired afterwards, but at least it was a nice kind of

The contractor mentioned in the article is not doing the same job, but is instead a vendor (the vendor term is only mentioned in passing in the article). Google classifies contractors that work via an external agency as vendors. Most vendor

Google does not use very large or even large machines for most of their fleet. You can quickly see in the paper this is for 1, 2, and 4 GB RAM machines (in 2006-2008).

Sure, I can understand those arguments in favour of having a 3rd party store, but that's not what the parent is arguing, nor what you said in your original post. All of these do affect the user. You think it would be a better ecosystem
