Clearly it is the manager's job to determine what work schedule works best for each of their subordinates. They might have preferences but let's be honest, people can't be trusted to set their own schedules otherwise they&#x2

Clearly you're assuming that with more than 3 doors, the host will open all but one, and they're assuming that the host will continue to open just one door.

I'm not sure how race comes into it. We are talking about a single country, not a race. The original commenter even mentioned Japan and Korea as examples of countries that are different from China in this regard.

Yeah, I’m not complaining about the state of the industry - it makes sense why you want people who can code! My advice is more for people in DevOps who can code that because of this inundation of sysadmin applicants who can’t code, you nee

That’s good to know, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Is it true that SREs are more likely to have oncall rotations at Google than SWEs? That is the impression I got from reading the Google SRE book - it talks about bringing SWEs i

It does matter - in my experience, the future job prospects of "System Administrator" are much worse than "SRE"/"DevOps". Switching my title from "System Administrator" to "SRE" within

I don’t necessarily disagree that it _matters_, but why does it matter, and how much? Why can’t you believe that you’re having to defend the point? What bearing does who someone is have on the actual _substance_ of an argument? Personally I

In your comment you seem to value who someone “is” (i.e. what their label is) more than you value what they have to say. Your reasoning for why the non-italicized portion is not good enough is “conservatives say that”. The reason you offer

I don't want to see ads. Given the alternative between having ads everywhere and paying a fraction of a cent to see content, I would choose the latter. Ads are annoying enough to me that I would absolutely pay a fraction of a cent to n

To be fair, I think it’s important not to conflate underperforming “generalists” (e.g. not a generalist at all, just someone who is equally unskilled in everything) and a true generalist, that is, someone who is a journeyman in every releva

So, had you been in his position about to join Twitter or working for Twitter and about to build the RT button, you believe you would have foreseen its effects and refused to participate on it based on your conscience? Did anyone actually p

Absurd is putting it strongly, perhaps overly so. Small children damage a lot of stuff, I've seen it myself! Kids pull or trip on charging cables, spill juice in the car, get their grubby/sticky hands on stuff. Dogs track mud in

What is confusing? Even if you yourself log out of Twitter, other people are still looking at it. In that sense, they don't cease to exist when you put your phone down, because other people are still paying attention to them. Sure, as

It’s probably worth mentioning that at least in MySQL, this is dangerous if using statement based replication. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-sbr-rbr.... https://dev.mysql

Wonder how it would have gone over if Facebook had just said from the outset, “We’re not entering Asian markets yet because they’re too culturally different than us.” Bet people would have really liked that.

Instead of responding to a question with yet another question, why not answer the question (why place a limit on how often a city can put a tax increase on the ballot)? That’s much more productive. To answer your question, one could argue t

Of course, you can't exactly claim Vox isn't a legitimate news source without citing some sources either. (Whether or not Vox is "legitimate" or not is beside the point here, the point is it's hypocritical of you to

I don’t think that man pages being oriented in a more user friendly manner will lead to programmers making mistakes in subtler areas. You’re basically saying that programming even basic things should be hard so that people learn to be thoro

As the comment you're replying to stated, the man inspects the barbecue, not the food. This seems to me to be easier and less error-prone.

The world is demonstrably worse off as a result of this lawsuit. Valuable knowledge that was freely available to many is now available to very few. The disenfranchisement of the disabled is a problem, but if the logical (for Berkeley) solut
