It’s not a case of “try harder”. My only point was that emotions run through all human interactions. That’s how it actually is. People very, very frequently make decisions based entirely on emotion and then produce a logical argument post

Eh, I think the author is also exaggerating the problem significantly. “I hope this is okay to bring up and sorry for the long message, I just wanted to flag that I've been looking at the latency numbers and I'm not totally sure

Starting to wonder if some people who complain about all day meetings just don’t realize they are optional.

I don’t really understand how reStructuredText’s approach fixes this. The fundamental thing is that you need to remember the order and the syntax. reStructuredText matches the order of Markdown (and so does not match html) but not the synt

1. Seems unavoidable because there is no natural order for these two elements. It happens that html puts the link first but any time I’m writing I would put the link second. 2. I guess that’s fair. I think parentheses in urls are a bigger i

That asciidoc format also seems very reasonable. The big issue isn’t specifically that markdown is wrong or right but that all these different systems are very inconsistent.

I think it’s a natural outgrowth of the way links are commonly provided in plaintext, like so much other markdown. > The details can be found at my website ( https://example.com ). The problem with this is that if you want to r

What’s wrong with the link syntax and what would an alternative be?

In this case you’ve switched providers, though. Might be a good idea but doesn’t say anything about whether, e.g., ATT will lower your price if you bring your own phone. I’ve read that these virtual networks also get lower prioritization s

Unless your database is immutable, every changed a record causes a “disappeared fact”. There are many legitimate reasons to delete data. The decision to retain data forever should not be taken lightly.

by dpark 9mo ago
Sure. Did someone say that the behavior should be described to customers as soft delete, though? I read a blog about a technical topic aimed at engineers, not customers.

It bothers me a lot that our elected representatives are wasting time and money on pointless nonsense like this. The people sponsoring this law certainly have no idea how to implement this gun manufacturing restriction and America’s gun pro

by dpark 9mo ago
America already has more guns than people. How many more do you think it would take to solve our current problems? It’s also very disingenuous to pretend that tighter regulation implies disarming everyone.

PHB is Dilbert’s boss, yes? That’s front line manager, first level manager, whatever. By definition a middle manager has managers above and below them.

Neither extreme looks like a real word processor. The left looks like maybe an icon for notes. The right looks like it’s for a drawing program.

I think the idea with McMansions is that they are just tacky. Poorly aped styles. Columns that don’t do anything and are proportioned wrong for the load they are intended to look like they carry. Complex roofs that do nothing useful but “lo

It feeds into people’s desire to feel superior. “You and me, dear reader, we’re two of the very few smart ones in a sea of incompetents.”

I actually think cubicles’ faux privacy might encourage more noise. When I was in cubicles years ago, there were people who would take calls on speakerphone. I’ve never experienced that in an open office space, but it’s hard to know if th

No. A first level manager cannot be middle management. A small company might not have middle management but the first level manager is bottom management.

Cubicles are terrible. Especially the full height ones. They have all the same noisy neighbor problems as open spaces but you’re stuck in a tiny box all day. You get a tiny modicum of privacy but not enough to make up for feeling like you’r

The PHB is not middle management. Middle management is at least one level above the PHB.

In the specific case, this is a long running thing. Historically Wales has in fact dismissed Sanger as being a founder and presented himself as the sole founder. That’s why the interviewer poked at this immediately. It’s also why Wales got
