Expiring cards has a few other benefits as well. It ensures that the card company has a reasonably-recent mailing address for each of their customers. And it makes it easier to roll out security features/improvements to the actual card

Webvan seems like a more apt comparison. Some of Uber's antics remind me of the way Webvan used to act. I remember seeing one of their delivery people pull up and park in a red zone right in front of a cop. The cop told him he couldn&#

Even if it was perfect in every other way, littering .DS_Store files all over the place would still make Finder an abomination. And thanks to the joys of version control, users on other platforms can enjoy some of the pain if you forget to

I'm sorry you feel that way. For what it's worth, my notion of what Docker is comes from having run it in production since before the transition away from LXC. I ran a small team inside a relatively large company (8000 employees,

What you're missing is the ecosystem vs platform distinction. A platform is yours to control and an ecosystem has a life of its own. You're right that everything that was possible still is. But docker, as a term, developed in ways

Again, that's a relatively-recent branding decision on your part. It's pretty meaningless to people that have spent more than a year trying to explain to people what Docker is and why we should use it. Trying to go back to those p

On the other hand, if you decide to use Kotlin, you'll post a job listing, get only a handful of candidates, and nearly all of them will be outstanding and the type of curious, driven engineer that you'd normally have to sift thro

That's explicitly allowed in the FAQ, but it's likely you'll be pretty disappointed. The reason for this is that it sounds like they've packed the week with activities beyond the job interviews. Those activities might be

The science channel will be a lot more than $5/mo if all the sports fans aren't forced to subscribe to it just to get their ESPN. It sounds reasonable that ala carte pricing should be cheaper because you shouldn't have to sub

It's not a warning, it's a fail-safe. It's likely the sensor on the battery failed, so the heat sensor was all that was left. A user can guess at the problem based on the temperature of the laptop. I've had my laptop tur

One problem with the argument...animations are often added for a very good reason. I suspect in the Slack example, it's to cover for the fact that there's a bunch of network calls being made behind the scenes. A terminal version o

My point was that even the chicken breast you buy in the supermarket is, unless it's antibiotic-free, not really 100℅ chicken either. Choosing this (Subway adding soy to the chicken) as the line that was crossed seems arbitrary. To my

by curun1r 10y ago
Yeah...I don't see too much to be outraged about here. If you want to be upset about adding soy to the chicken you eat, be upset about the soy they add to the chicken before they kill it. Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chi

In this case, I believe the threat was twofold. They'd drag out proceedings so that we couldn't have afforded to make it to a judgment. But they'd also threaten to cancel a deal with one of our other large customers if they d

That part makes sense, but it would seem that the fourth amendment (or even the fifth) would be the one they'd want to cite. The first amendment would only make sense if they government was trying to punish someone for the content of t

In addition to what others have said (good rewards), Capital One is also a good card to travel with since they don't charge foreign transaction fees. I keep an account with them because I save a ton when I go overseas.

I agree wholeheartedly. Also of note, the combinators Rust offers on Option/Result make it possible to chain multiple operations that could fail and then check for the first error that occurred. In Go, you have to check each potential
