I've been at more than one company that migrated _from_ MediaWiki to Confluence. It usually boils down to "non-developers have to use this and Markdown+plugins is hard". Turns out no matter how much better the thing is, the

Yeah they had no problem paying broadway theater talent to write and perform corporate musicals for them but wouldn't spend on Advil, band aids and AEDs. I guess those don't "contribute to company culture". Incredible.

One company I was at wouldn't even keep basic first aid supplies stocked. Facilities succesfully made a big push to get a bunch of people CPR/AED training, especially because it was free. I then made the obvious point that we had

coco bread :D But with cheese and in coco bread are both common, yeah. Most old school Italian pizza places in Manhattan/Queens carry them in my experience. (e.g., Sacco Pizza on 54th & 9th)

Canadian bureaucracy around food is at times insane (and vaguely racist). Just look up '1985 Jamaican patty wars'.

I agree. Also there's one specific context where I use this quite a bit, even if it's a bit passive aggressive...: When someone is asking me about something that is a) their job and b) I have explained to them before. There are

They aren't "threatening" to sue Andre. They threatened to sue him in October and haven't retracted it. He also threatened to sue them by raising issues about Bundler trademark. A very common thing that happens in sett

Underrated comment. Unfortunately too many people won't be able to see this fact past the battle lines they've already drawn. Those of us who just want to get our work done do though. This whole drama is so exhausting and I&#x27

Danish police are super tolerant and professional btw. I had my passport lifted by a pickpocket while at a restaurant in Vesterbro and had to report it to the police and then go to my embassy to get a replacement. Both the Danish police an

No assumptions being made here. Denmark, like most of Europe, has a long history of Roma discrimination. It's been well-written about, discussed by the media, by members of the Folketing, and even in the European Court of Human Right

That would be Migadu, btw. But also plenty of people left them over their vague anti-violence pledge which many deem anti-Free Speech. /s I left Migadu for Hey.

I dunno have you been to Vesterbro (he is talking about Copenhagen afterall)? Especially around H17? It's pretty gross. It's also spitting distance from Tivoli Gardens where you might want to take your kids out for the day. The

I've been in this industry for a few decades at this point and I was around when this meme was started. It was purely about maxing your compensation because changing jobs nets you more than promotions & raises. I've never met

This is assuming your engineers don't leave for higher-paying roles elsewhere. The market might be cold generally but for engineers working at these frontier AI companies it's red-hot. And most executives are figuring this into t

Well, in the jurisdictions that I care about the courts and lawmakers have already decided this and the legal requirement is to report. If its your license to practice on the line you know what choice you're going to make.

I think you're demonstrating incredibly poor judgment here. CSAM is a crime with real victims. Even if your patient came across it innocently, someone is out there intentionally distributing it and that needs to be investigated.

I wasn't even complaining about either. I use both. I just think it's pointless to bitch about other people gambling with their own lives. If someone wants to win a Darwin award, let them. Because you can just as easily do all t

People often say the same thing about environmental regulation too... I hope you realize what a poor argument (to lawmakers) that is, especially if your goal is to advocate for privacy.

He’s not exactly wrong either. The founders/executives of a tech startup I worked for spun off a completely unrelated E2EE chat app as a separate startup and didn’t market it to anyone. It’s only used by them and their buddies and bas
