Would that not achieve the opposite effect? If interstaller thought us anything, the closer you are to a black hole the slower time gets. When they got close to the black hole they only spent a few hours there but lost years compared to our

A week ago back some friends and I looked at the draft of the law... it's honestly terrifying. They basically want Google/fb/? to be upfront with all changes. The goal is clearly to give aussie media outlet an unfair advantag

As someone who's put a lot of hours in Factorio, I totally agree with the article! I kinda guessed what it was gonna say before reading it. My coworkers and I played a lot of Factorio in the past and we always joked about it being like

No it's not. Unpaid leave puts people in the position of having to decide between health (and not infecting their coworkers) and losing money. Paid sick leave instead puts employees in the position of being able to look after themselve

As someone who has written a lot of PHP and is still maintaining a few PHP codebases... I don't miss the old ways at all. But I can see how the parent comment can be misleading for someone who's not too familiar with PHP (apologie

Very. Repubblica and Corriere are the two main newspapers in Italy, and they are both quite reliable. Repubblica is left leaning, Corriere is right leaning.

IANAL but I sounds like it would depend on what "use that degree" means. Applying to a position that requires that degree? That seems a clear violation. Mentioning on your CV that your degree was revoked due to bankruptcy? That&#x

Who said the house was not organised/clean? I don't think it's a fair assumption at all. Even ignoring the fact that this wasn't his house (so organising it was probably not an option), he found the kindle in a closet...
