The comments were personal attacks on the speaker, not aimed at the government or the military. There's a huge difference between those. If the engineer had posted something criticizing the military outside of the context of the conf

I don't think it's thin-skinned to complain about those tweets. It would bother me too if someone who attended my presentation in professional capacity personally attacked me in a public way like that. It's absolutely complet

I'm sure the names have different importance, though. A local variable name in a small method probably barely matters, whereas the name of a variable in a widely used external API matters quite a lot.

So is social media, and social media is likely worse, but hopefully you apply the same logic to that?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. 6 weeks of paid vacation, [p|m]aternity leave and heavily subsidized kindergartens etc can weigh heavier than extra pay, depending on your priorities in life.

Another way to think about it is that software that focus on performance loses market share to software that focuses on other things.

Supposedly 1-2 million people speak Arakan, so I doubt it's very difficult to find enough moderators. It's likely not worth the effort to do so unless regulation forces you to do it, however.

Presumably you can't tell if the applicant spent 2h or 6h, and in practice the 6h solution is probably going to look much better. So sure, in theory you may be right, but in practice I bet you select for people who spent (much) more th

Presumably the answer is "we don't, because we're ok with filtering out a few very experienced developers if that reduces the risk of a bad hire". It's pretty rare IME to encounter interviews which are closely relat

So Prigozhin just forgot about his family before starting the fight? Or didn't think anyone would think to threaten his family? Seems very unlikely to me.

Is there anyone who thinks that the way a president dresses and acts isn't propaganda?.. It's not exactly some huge revelation.

You'll have to correct for more variables than that, since presumably the average Tesla FSD driver is going to look quite different than the average driver.

No, it wouldn't necessarily have to. Self-driving cars are going to fail in ways that seem very stupid to us, but they might handle "normal" accident-prone situations much better than humans and thus be much safer overall.

From a quick search it seems like west of Germany, Italy and Greece are mostly shoes-inside countries. I definitely wouldn't say that's ultra common.

Have you used any alternative? The biggest issue is visual noise and ads imo.

I think overcooked has a quite different audience, being cooperative rather than competitive. I won't buy a competitive local multiplayer game nowadays, whereas I've bought a lot of cooperative ones to play with my SO, and that&#x

I've never really understood people complaining about BMI. Yes, it doesn't work for body builders or amputees, but are you actually one of these? Most of the complaints I've heard are from fat Americans who think they'd

What's the car company revenue in the modern west vs India and other developing nations? I'm sure the developing world will still want ICE vehicles, but is that really where the money is?

Personally I'd love to have an upvote and subreddit filter. So "delete all comments except the ones on /r/askscience or the ones with above 100 upvotes".

The contractors tax situation is irrelevant to you. The only thing that matters is income vs expenditure. Or in this situation, "how many hours do I have to work to pay the contractor's hourly fee?" and "how much faster

I suspect it's way more likely that you'd do a bad job yourself and need to hire a professional to fix it.

I think that's a logical error; I don't care about how much the contractor makes after tax, I only care what the cost to me is. After all, if the contractor had some strange anomaly where he pays 100% of his income in tax, why wou

I'd like to see the math for your calculations here, I suspect something is a bit iffy. As an example I'll use Swedish taxes which should be comparable to Danish ones. If we assume I'm a contractor charging $100 per hour and

They won't compete on salary, there's probably plenty of talented people who simply do not want to live in the US due to the work culture, especially French workers. 35 hour work week with 6 weeks of paid vacation is worth a lot

Hehe, that specific case is probably something that most people run into at least once. I've seen several cases of it in production too, where someone refactored something years in the past and accidentally disabled the cache without a

Self-moderation doesn't work for any reasonably large community, if you don't want your community to be generic Facebook/Instagram quality posts. Community-based moderation inevitably makes any subreddit into "fun phots

There's no single thing you can point to as "the issue" (unless you just point to fossil fuels in general, I guess). Driving a couple of thousand miles per year as a hobby is pretty bad, that's quite a lot of "unnec

People who don't work are usually economic parasites for those who do, so it makes sense to encourage working regardless of which economic system is used.

Top marginal rate in Sweden, 50%~ starts at $59k and our VAT is 25%. So eh, UK doesn't seem so bad.

Does first class mean something different to you? A first class ticket is ridiculously expensive and all airlines don't even offer them. A business class ticket is absolutely going to have meals included, and won't require robbing
