Just do it in the break room/kitchen, not in the workspace, which should be treated with the same respect as a library (if you provide private offices with doors that close, feel free to disregard). Group chat rooms that aren't #r

Work communications are not a place for fun. They are a place for productivity and focus. If your company's work is not fun by itself (interesting problems, no bs, etc.), that's a problem! Fix that, don't gloss over it with d

While that's a great idea, it assumes that people have control over their work environment, which they typically don't. That's why I'm sitting at a flimsy Ikea desk with about 20 square feet of space to myself.

Note that Soylent has continually reduced the fiber (and protein!) content of their drink, while increasing non-fiber carbohydrates.

Yes, who cares? No one is making you buy them.

It subclasses the typical Foundation/AppKit classes, so I don't think that is the case.

Can you negotiate that benefit away for additional salary or vacation time off?

You should also do "undefined vacation" - the company that I work has, as far as I can tell, no vacation policy. People do take vacation, but it has never been mentioned as a coherent thing. Another good one would be alcohol and a

Are the four images on that page supposed to be animating smoothly? Mine are hard transitioning every second or so, serially from left to right. Weird.

I watched a sportsball on Twitter once and it was really the same as ESPN's site or the pirate streams from reddit, once you fullscreen it. Just another live stream, there (thankfully) wasn't any Twitter integration popping over t

It seems like a lot of these are very promotional - using a lot of superlatives to describe the person, and all of their work/accomplishments. Is this necessary? I feel very uncomfortable doing that sort of thing, it feels cringey I

Do appliances in London need to be white? Or does that mean something else? I can't find anything on Google for "london white appliances", other than places to buy white appliances in London.

I don't understand how that will create silence, not just "different noise".

Some of these comparisons aren't great. The "Variable Number Of Arguments" example is better expressed in Swift with "reduce", and it's really comparing "summing an array", the varargs aspect is a min

"Why would I do that instead of just using a browser bookmark?", I guess? Bookmarks are effectively anonymous, which I like.

I'd be very surprised if asking people to waste a week of vacation on only a 66% chance of getting a job (that they probably don't even need , if they're already employed) wasn't a strong filter against top performers.

Taking away MagSafe will be very unfortunate. MagSafe is one of the best things about Macs.

It's the interest rate you pay if you do not pay off your credit card in full every month, but you should always pay off your credit card in full every month, so it doesn't actually matter.

As a consumer, is there any way to permanently opt-out of this?

Why does this matter? If it does, you're doing it incredibly wrong. The annual fee and pathetic rewards percentage are much more odious.

GitX is buggy and terrible and yet it still has the best staging interface I've used. I don't use any other features though, and just do those on the command line, because they're easier, but a GUI is much better than "a

It seems especially terrible that a religious belief that "gay people should be executed" is more protected than, um, being a gay person.

Since the eastern US is only five hours behind London, you could have free time during the day and work mostly in the evening? Matinée prices, lunch specials, and most importantly sunlight abound! Right now I work for all of the good parts

Even worse, when I go to the doctor, I have no idea what I'm going to pay. You can possible decode it, but good luck - and if he or she sends something to a lab, etc. one day a bill will just show up and you'll just have to pay

This doesn't add up though, people often talk about salaries of 60k Euro or less, and then you have to pay higher taxes on that. A $65k salary would be a joke for a software engineer in the US.

Why not have a "loud zone" off in some corner instead? Why are the people that want to focus required to do it on a tiny laptop screen instead of their giant monitors?

Have you had trouble fitting your legs into Climbers if you're lifting heavy enough to need chalk? (I almost exclusively wear SDs)
