How many times each term appears on the page: women: 13 men: 14 male: 6 female: 6 The language used is equal and every case where "male" or "female" was chosen, it was matched by its inverse in the following statement. S

In your example you (human) created a file and you can now request the content of that file (from your filesystem) at any point. In the given example there's a tracker (updated by humans) and you can see the current state of the tracke

Note that "burn calories" in this context equates to a pretty negligable number, iirc it's ~25 calories per litre of ice water. You can make the same number with a long stair journey or 3 minutes on your bike.

Complete non-sequitur, this is akin to arguing that people should be shamed for being okay with sex because rape exists.

A very popular medication (propranolol) diagnosed for blood pressure control also causes your heartbeat to slow. It's commonly prescribed as a first line approach to acute anxiety, if you take them they slow your heart rate and can cea

Social factors require social responses. Your analogy doesn't follow.

I don't think looking at GDP/capita proxies quality of life at all. If you and I pay one another $100 every week we'll both be boosting GDP and doing nothing of material worth aside from paying the taxes on the exchange. I&#x

In the UK wait staff are tipped based on service and are still paid at least minimum wage. Tipping is generally based on the quality of the establishment, you tip at a higher class restaurant but you don't at restaurants that are franc

I think it's endemic of larger open plan office style organisations. They have (unintentionally?) self-selected out those with sensory processing issues plus some forms of autism just by the way the workplace is shaped. So perhaps that

Just a heads up, HSP is often comorbid with autism as are plenty of other atypical sensory processing manifestations.

Yes, but the work I would do probably wouldn't resemble closely what I do now. If I have the comfort of being able to carefully choose rather than having to find anything to pay bills then I would try hard to find something that would

My rural experience (UK) may be different from what you're expecting if you're taking an americentric viewpoint. I had one neglectful parent who later married physically abusive step-parent. I experienced physical violence and sex

I don't think it's disconnected from reality at all. This kind of "underprivileged class" description echoes my experience, but my experience was largely rural poverty rather than urban. In our case we got to know our ne

Part of it is that language diverged, but it's also because if you're in country X talking about country Y and you have a long enough history you'll have a word in language X for country Y. I recall a story but I'm not s

From the other comments that user's posted I can kind of understand their sentiment, they've tried to form an understanding from others and then found the same roadblocks repeatedly. I have impaired executive functioning and this

That answers a different question, whether you expect that content to be in the ToS or not isn't relevant. I asked whether it's reasonable to expect users to search the ToS to understand the behaviour of their editor. I don't

by chownie 7y ago
I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect users to read the ToS to find out whether their text editor will phone home. This also doesn't excuse the editor sending analytics for users who opt out of analytics.

Being able to enter that state isn't reliable even for people who do it often. I've never been able to do it at work, it happens somewhat often when I'm doing home projects if my environment is suitably quiet. I've found

Think of it as a declarative program, you describe the state of the machine as you want it and the nix package manager handles all of the rest. It downloads, installs, configures, builds and runs from your declarative description. This is m

No, things I disagree with aren't automatically virtue signalling. Feigning ignorance to ask an obvious question (Why do people treat different animals inequally?) but just happening to bring up their own moral stance is textbook virtu

I'm an individual and I value some things above others. I will help my friends and family members before I help strangers. I would take the proverbial bullet for them, but for you? I'd probably not. Equally if I came across a trap

Would you watch an employee closely if their performance dipped after they started a hobby game development project? Or night classes? How about if they just had a new born? Do you also acknowledge the weeks their performance is better than

This is a shortcut to major employee churn. Don't over-manage people, acknowledge and accept that the instant they clock out you no longer have any right to their time. If they're moonlighting, it means either you or they are mis

This looks alarmingly unreadable to me, are those terminal colour codes? Is that accidental or is that how the output genuinely appears?

What if you don't ever want to reach upper-management, or management at all? My skills are firmly technical, I don't have the desire nor the skillset for management. I'm just starting my career in software engineering, is the

It's weird to me to call this a feature, a few years ago it was a given. YouTube had to go out of their way to break playback on mobile to offer this "feature". I consider it a bug they've added purposefully and they req

As a person who smokes on and off, part of it is that you can continue your physical habit (take a break, hold something in your hand, breathe in warm air with a specific taste etc) but you can still drop the nicotine. If you were to try an
