Other retailers continue to shutdown and it's a direct result of Amazon. Sears, JCPenney, Bed Bath and Beyond are just a few dominoes to have already fallen.

I switched to Amphetamine a few years back because caffeinate doesn't work consistently.

Some people really like to teach others, so I can understand how teachers would find joy in this. I think it has to be especially hard to maintain that in K-12 where all the children have to be, but most of them don't want to be. At le

If they were a public company then 100% that review should have been removed. That's leaking insider information. Leaking insider information in and of itself is a violation of insider trading laws.

Yeah. 8 is just a silly question. First off you can often just tell if it's scripted. Secondly if it is scripted it's generally just because HR is more mature and is trying to be more fair in the hiring processes; this is a good p

How is it becoming more useful? Arguably it is more difficult to use for buying selling, plus if I spend it I'm taxed as if I sold an equity. It's value is pegged to the dollar so we can see massive shifts in its "value"

I'm calling bullshit on the "zero weight on whether they got hired or not". Referrals from bad employees don't mean anything, but referrals from good employees do. All of the interview hoops that people jump through and

This I 100% agree with. The parent post was essentially that Rails doesn't scale and "everything else scales better". Most battle tested languages and frameworks can be adequately scaled if you have the right devs. I think th

No, I understood your point and I agree sending the email and getting some type of read receipt is necessary. You seem to think that because of this client validation should be skipped. On that point I disagree. If you can tell that it&#x27

Rails has always been fully open source. If you didn't understand something you simply looked at the Rails source code. At the time it came out most people were using .NET or Java which were largely closed source and PHP which was open

I'm sorry, but if your answer is that Node and PHP are inherently more scalable than RoR then you've lost me already. I've worked for three successful startups that started on PHP that couldn't scale the PHP code bases w

Just because some places implemented the validation wrong does not mean the validation should not occur. The validation is there to catch user mistakes before sending a validation email and ending up with unusable account creation.

No, Google built a lot of shit and then shut some of it down later. Search, Android, GCP, Workspace, Ads, just to mention a few are all still available.

For three years now Xojo has said "Android support coming soon". Doesn't build much faith that it's actively supported.

Every couple of years this pops up and I'm reminded how cool it looks and the nostalgia of the easy days of VB6. I think to myself how I'll give it a spin for some little project just because. Then I realize again that it isn&#x27

Yes, that's the real elephant in the room. Slack and Teams both packaged up IRC into something that looks nicer, but runs 1000x slower and now sell enterprise licenses for this garbage.

Most famous actors didn't start out that way so I would still argue it is. It also doesn't change the fact that software engineers largely tend to be anti-union while simultaneously protesting things unions are designed to protect

It is possible to both understand why businesses operate the way they do and to sympathize with people who have lost their jobs as a result of how businesses operate. If you really hate how businesses operate you have a couple of options. Y

These roles are often more effective as they are often given direct oversight, review and acceptance/rejection powers that allow them to behave as a gatekeeper; often times as a partner with legal departments.

This is certainly true in as much as I've experienced it in companies. The CDO (Chief Diversity Officer) has very little power and influence. Often it seems this is something many companies hire for so they can do the following 1. Say,

I would gladly refrigerate it if it meant I could still use it. I've never had another acid reducer that works as well for me as Zantac. I have so many major health problems that quite frankly I'll probably be dead before I could

The IRS also distinguishes between short-term and long-term gains. Long-term gains (more than one year) get a discounted tax rate. Short-term gains, which are most likely speculative, are taxed as ordinary income... the same rate as winning

Not OP, but it is incorrect terminology. An investor is someone who buys with the intention to hold and expects to generate income or capital appreciation. Investors care about the fundamentals and the long-term outcome. These case studie

I'm not sure what you mean? Are you saying remote workers aren't working full-time? I'm a remote worker and I work way more than most in office workers.

Literally not one thing listed is a new. All of that had been going on for my entire life and I've been here about a half a century. Seems like you are just finally noticing what's always been and are upset by it.

About 5.5% of Americans don't have bank accounts and pay primarily with cash. Most of these people are impoverished minorities, specifically blacks and Latinos. Not accepting cash is a pretty discriminatory practice.
