Based on the example of a lawyer I wonder how this could change if you managed to call it being "on retainer" the way a lawyer does. Having an IT guy on retainer really does function the same as for a lawyer - they are there to co

Title is slightly ambiguous. For those that assumed like me, this isn't saying that being on call is working well. It is saying "being on call should be considered working time".

Can confirm, I got a brand new still-shrink-wrapped copy of FFIX for my birthday just a few years ago.

Algorithms? yes, basic algorithms and sorting and Big O, none of which I've needed in 10 years of professional and hobby dev work. But to say "well you learned data structures and you use hashmaps and arrays so obviously it help

I studied CS for 4 years and have used exactly none of it since leaving college. Our devs all help with hiring and agree as a 20-person team that academic "experience" means almost nothing unless you have no other job experience.

It's too late to stop, but it's not too late to vote with your wallet and feet and stop supporting businesses who feel the needs to betray your privacy like this just because it was buried in a TOS that they know nobody read.

Interesting, I've never had that issue on the browser. I HAVE noticed that if you open the plugin before the page finishes loading, it will error trying to fill the fields. In those cases I tend to just close the plugin and reopen it

It does, but I have yet to need it. I use the browser plugin for everything. If a desktop app needs a password, I just open the FF plugin and copy the password myself haha.

Highly recommend trying BitWarden! I'm a paying user of it myself. It also has export of data and full self-hosted options as well. The browser plugins work amazingly well. The phone app is...i would say 75-80%. I've had trou

The part that stuck out to me was the thick border with _corner sections_ on each window. On all 3 operating systems (although less so on Windows) I have struggled to find the 1-3 pixel tiny window that allows me to manually resize a windo

Neanderthals had bigger craniums than homo sapiens (and thus bigger brains), so it does indeed seem like size isn't the biggest factor. Granted, that size difference is much smaller than elephant vs giraffe haha.

First off, I did read it, so a TLDR isn't needed. Second, sure that's his claim, but I'm challenging the premise. If your premise is faulty, then what follows is questionable and not proven. Pining for the "good old d

In specific to Tesla: they have found that this exact business model works astonishingly well with their customer base, so I can't imagine they'll have any reason to stop without some kind of backlash to their bottom line. RE: th

I don't want to just jump in with some negative comment here but let's start with being honest - 95% of this post is about the history of emojis, how to use them, and what they mean. Which is a helluva lot of information about emo

What's so weird about that is that Android HAS that control. I was making an app for myself recently, and I needed a datepicker too, and I found a widget that is an exact replica of the iOS "spinners".

This is categorically wrong. I have been able to successfully do this for multiple games, the most recent being KSP when an update broke all my add-ons so I downgraded until they all caught up.

That's probably a fair point but...how many internet ad "campaigns" do you remember? Ever? Even if there was tons of garbage we forgot, the fact that we distinctly remember so many means they at least TRIED to be good, and
