Maybe there's some linguistic problem (English being not my native), but I wrote about the power of making decisions, of telling you what to do and what not to. It really isn't applicable to junior positions, but if you're on

Thank you for the reminder to completely RF-shield the sensitive equipment. I hope that this + airgap would be enough should these transmitters become widespread.

Stopped reading after they equated 'a man who helps drug dealers' with 'sociopath'. There are a lot of reasons a good smart man would want use his technical skills to help spread narcotics. There's an essay by Aleis

I suspect the clunky interfaces are to blame: if the paywall was only 1 click ('confirm $0.1 purchase') instead of a long long form to fill most people would just click.

As the owner, it's in your interest for the structure to be challenged (sort of simulated annealing optimization), so you better create a way to question the very rules through these naturally stubborn goal-oriented managers. Probably

OTOH, when it's time to move from research into production, this 'shaping' rather works: those 'good devs' with poor respect for authority move out of the team (either from the company or deeper back into R&D),

Indeed, it's called 'compensation' for a reason: it compensates for the time spent doing what you'd prefer not to. If you do what you love, nothing to compensate for :)

so why don't they charge me 10..20¢ per article, with an option for $x (or $xx if they publish a lot) unlimited monthly subscription, should I like them. Seems like 10-20 times more profitable, yet a rounding error.

I like how Asus put PgUp/PgDn/Home/End on Fn+Arrows, it really feels natural since their actions are just extended arrows. Convenient placement of Fn also helps. If only there was a right-hand Fn.

It is also guaranteed to be extremely stable, and will be supported nearly forever as some important libs just won't get ported.

They are actually much more difficult, as are all soft skills that are poorly codifiable. Learning to code is much easier than learning to sell, if only because you can do it alone in a basement with a PC and a book. The reason we engineers

Good point. Could you please remind us why this hasn't been done yet? Or where done?

He could have learned mirrored writing. Would have allowed using the board in in-person lectures. Not that simple, but definitely possible: after 2 weeks of 2-hour almost-daily practice I've acquired quite decent skills at that.

As others have said, we still has AIMP [aimp.ru]. They're clearly losing on not having a good English website.

Unfortunately, recently they started messing with the design and the result is much worse than transition from Winamp 5.3x to better versions. Multiple playlist tabs, though, are great. Fortunately Audacious has them too.

Better to ask, have you been _outside_ America. For I presume, in most countries who adopted CCs fairly recently, the concept of 'offline transaction' is entirely foreign.

Concerning crappy Ubuntu UI, try Linux Mint. I prefer it to both Windows and OSX (best of both) after minimal customization, ie vertical maximize on title dblclick.

Information is still classified to hide it from enemies, as it requires an effort. Immediately follows though, that the system now considers citizens its enemies, which is reasonable: if they knew everything it does, they would actively att

Now that's a really good point. No self-respecting kid will use the same _one-to-many_ platform to communicate with friends and parents. Maybe they'll add some convenient 'Circles' feature, but the association with &#x27

The intention doesn't matter, the effect does. We are talking about risks of doing business with developers (which reimplementation is), not about some abstract morals.
