First of all, you can't trot out stuff like "I have the power of common sense" while complaining about snide comments. As for due warning, they were informed of the religious observance at the time (and before Easter Sunday),

article != headline I don't disagree that more information is often better than less, but you haven't really made the case for overstuffing the headline. Imagine a potential developer equivalent - "man-tasked-for approving-pu

You are pinning an awful lot on that missing request (as are Yelp, probably). Before we continue, are you a lawyer or do you just play one on TV?

Unless that was his only job function (unlikely), I dont see why the headline should be that granular.

Assuming things went down more or less as described, I wouldn't put much stock in Yelps chances should this end up in front of a jury.

This. If these emails were sent as described, the terminated employee can expect a tidy settlement with the quickness.

Also plentiful access to raw materials. Lots of timber production around Brumunddal.

You were technically wrong, but good luck ever using 'occult' as a verb anywhere but intellectual and special interest message boards.

Nobody with any technical competence is inviting a place like McKinsey in the first place. Because of course not. Unfortunately McKinsey is quite happy to talk a big game and sell sub-par technical services to their customers who are either

Moreover, even when Microsoft was "lame", its employees were still individually respected as being competent in their field (unless given a specific reason to think otherwise).

That might be how newspapers win on quality, but it is not how they will win eyeballs. Clickbait works. Low quality content sells volume. Biased sources are extremely popular because and not in spite of their bias. The fundamental problem

I don't personally know (or know of) anyone who truly saw this coming 20+ years ago. It's a bit humbling to have been blindsided so thoroughly.

Same. I've used Apple MBP's steady since 2011. Ever since 2017 it's been a complete mess. I can't stand the new keyboard, nor do I understand their reasoning at all : feels like the decision was 100% grounded in aestheti

Apple's latest macs have all kinds of bugs and glitches that I can't remember ever being present in ~2010-2015 MBPs, including but not limited to what's mentioned here (the already-shoddy keyboard being taken out by a spec

Not really, at least IMHO. Not every vulnerability in [insert unvetted react dependency here] contains a host-targeting malware payload. In fact, I'd imagine those are the minority. Some concern is certainly warranted though.

I grew up around US military bases in Japan, and the same holds true : they're basically "little Americas" where you can pay in USD and buy Twizzlers (among other things, but I happened to like twizzlers) An open question I h

If you take a look at the GP's statement, it included an alleged refusal by Huawei to install NSA backdoors. That's the part of the statement I'd like to see further qualified, because I think it deserves it.

I don't see what that has to do with the alleged NSA backdoors.

second vimium. It's not quite as hardcore as vimperator, but at the end of the day I don't really find myself missing it too much since switching over. vimium also has (IMO) better defaults (alphabetical vs. numeric link highlight

I've used vim for years, have vimium / vimperator installed in all my browsers, use vim navigation bindings in i3, etc. I still broadly prefer using ST3 with vintage mode over classical vim. It doesn't have the performance li
