Giving the parent the benefit of the doubt, they probably were confused by the idea of people taking these pills to get high. That's generally what is meant by the term "recreational use" when it comes to drugs.

Out of curiosity, what are these companies migrating ASP.NET apps to? Newer ASP.NET (Core) on Linux? Or are they swearing off .NET entirely?

Only because you've chosen a certain definition of stability. For most people, I'd bet leaving a job voluntarily for a new opportunity yields a higher sense of stability than enduring getting laid off, having your teammates get la

If you're a reasonably well-performing IC at US big tech, your "boss" is often also a grunt with little real control over your salary. Just a different flavor grunt from you. In my experience, these managers are often happy t

I hate ads, but I'm struggling to understand how something being an ad disqualifies it from being art. Advertising is a creative human endeavor. Ads are designed to make you feel something, just like art.

Chiming in with the others to say that my experience with e-readers has been great. Physical books can grow to be a huge burden over the years. For me personally, e-readers have not caused any loss of focus. In fact, the integrated dictiona

I think their point is that you're not taking a principled stand by stealing. If it matters enough to you to "boycott" the company, walk the walk and don't play the games by any means.

Same experience here. I've used WSL2 as a daily driver for work for 2 years now. It feels so close to being "awesome," but the rough edges are maddening. The issues are slowly being addressed, but I still can't recommend

Depends on who you ask. In a literal sense, no. But lots of people use "FAANG" as a shorthand for a wide range of established tech companies with relatively high compensation (and RSUs with actual value). In that sense, yes.

I agree with the spirit of your comment, but I do think the bar for proof-reading published material (like a blog post) should be much higher than the bar for informal communication (like a forum comment).

One of the most common reasons to “mark a record as deleted” rather than deleting it is so you can undo deletes without having to fish data out of a backup. I.e. soft delete is effectively a recycle bin. It might not be a user-facing recycl

Who is “we”? I would guess you are describing the garden-variety US “cafeteria Catholic.” But different Catholic populations around the world have different degrees of dogmatism, and papal statements like this can have profound human rights

The post title feels grammatically off in a way I'm struggling to articulate. I think it's the difference between "declares <object> <adjective>" and "declares that <clause>". Examples of the

If PIs or employers want to discriminate based on class ranking, they can ask for it and do exactly that. Why conflate that with grades? A common understanding of a grade is as an indication that the course material has been mastered. Highe

If it doesn't need to be dual-display, there are some 13" e-ink options. Fujitsu Quaderno A4, Onyx Boox Tab X. No idea what the sheet music reading software ecosystem on these looks like though, you might be confined to PDF.
