If senior levels all exercise their option to work remotely, then who’s going to watch all the underlings in the office?

I appreciate your gracious response. It’s important that we discuss such matters openly and positively. You’re practical, as always, and I feel inspired to apply some of your suggestions in my own practice. There couldn’t be a better time t

My experience has been different than what is described here. I haven’t met that many developers who didn’t know why they were doing what they were doing. Instead I’ve met lots of managers who used the _why_ as if it was some magic wand tha

This looks like an attempt to ridicule the guy. He’s made a simple request and he doesn’t have to explain himself. The other parties can comply or not, they may ask questions or not, but surely publishing this non-story to HN and have peopl

Dear people who are downvoting me: I’d appreciate if you shared some thoughts in the comments. Otherwise, you’re just being meaner than I was in my original comment.

It’s not the function, but the form that’s wrong with those treadmills

I'm inclined to say that's a wrong interpretation. You don't have to sell anything to be required to be compliant with GDPR. My understanding is any entity (not necessarily a company, mind you) collecting personal or behavior

GDPR is about data, not companies. It applies to all entities regardless of where they are established as long as they're doing business in the EU or processing data of EU citizens.

This has been discussed before, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27054629 Also why link to a video of a guy reading an article instead of linking the article directly? HN can read.

I don’t have an alternative. I’m not that smart and I'm appalled by the so-many people who think they are.

See, this is what I’m talking about: the idea that masses would think differently if they learned about and understood irrational beliefs, cognitive biases, statistics etc. is confirmation bias.

It’s nothing like that. I’m simply stating a sciency argument won’t work to the masses. As far as the “emotion-inducing anecdote” is concerned, I’m only telling that story to remind that mathematics does more harm where a hug is more app

Here in RO, as far as I can tell, it seems everyone knows someone (or knows someone who knows someone) who did the AZ vaccine and had a scary reaction. Not one to make the news, but scary enough to look for the alternatives (Pfizer and Mo

I’ve no idea why I’m being downvoted. I’d appreciate it if anyone replied and explained why they’d done so.

I’ve seen some comments here saying this is one in a million. Here’s the thing: while that may be statistically true, it’s not an argument to convince people to take the shot. You can’t tell folks “hey, listen, there’s a very slight chance

The article is not against env vars per se as the title suggests. Instead it makes a case against undocumented features and improper use of env vars. It also complains about env vars being plain strings but fails to recognize config files a

[off topic] I apologise in advance for the unsolicited review - I couldn't help it. First, in service.api.api:43-49 you do: filename = (file.filename if file else None) or request.form.get("filename") [...] try:

In Latin, the neuter has a distinct form. In Romanian, it’s a combination: masculine in singular and feminine in plural. What the article does is it takes a look at these differences and merely states the obvious, that the Romanian neuter i

The Cyberpunk 2077 FUBAR is not a tech problem as much as it’s a management problem. Tech can only compensate a bad employer this much.
