It's probably not worth the time and effort. You can get a judgment, but good luck getting them to pay out on it.

That just doesn't seem like a plausible scenario to me. Obviously, if such thing happened, Biden would have an alibi, since it's known where he is at all times. The people who already hate Biden, probably already think he's d

I miss Flash and all the cool capabilities it had. At a previous company, we built a tool that would allow a teacher to record a video review of a student's animation work, while showing, scrubbing and annotating that work simultaneous

Downtown Redwood City, California, is rotated at a 45° angle to its surrounding streets. Though I've been there dozens of times (worked nearby for 10 years), I still never quite feel like I know where I'm going.

Yep, not to mention the space requirements. It's hard to imagine fitting several robot arms plus any associated machinery into the relatively limited space at the end of a bowling lane.

I'd imagine this would be orders of magnitude more expensive and error-prone than the existing solution. Also I don't even think robot arms are sufficiently agile for this task, since the pins can end up in unpredictable locations

That does happen sometimes, which is very annoying to the purists.

I think they've been improving them incrementally over the years, but it's a monstrously difficult engineering problem to do the following: - Set up all 10 pins reliably and in the same spots - Lift remaining pins after the first

I'm kind of in the same boat re story points and Scrum metrics, but sometimes we can get management buy-in to create a ticket to do this sort of thing, if it's seen as high value for the business.

I recall hearing (can't remember where) that in the olden days, computer programming was considered akin to typing or secretarial work, so at first it attracted mostly women.

Weird - I don't drink Diet Coke anymore, but I remember thinking it was flatter than it used to be when I would open a can. I wonder if they're trying to skimp on CO2 or something.

I feel like it's kind of case by case with the chocolate bars. Overall, quality has declined, but some more than others. I think Snickers are still ok, but for example KitKat is absolute trash, along with Milk Duds, Whoppers, Baby Ruth

See: through, rough, cough, bough, dough, all of which are pronounced differently. My 5-year-old daughter is learning to read, and trying to explain all this is...challenging.

You complain about people cherry-picking an unfriendly suburb, and then cherry-pick a friendly one. There are both types, and it's basically pure luck (as a kid) if you happen to live in a friendly one.

It's not quite that simple. Literally all their schoolmates are watching shows, playing video games etc. So they become ostracized as a result of not having the same context as the other kids. We're trying like hell to slow the on

> There's a feedback loop happening as well. Kids don't play outside so there are no kids playing outside. So much this. When I was a kid (late 70's), I could count on going outside and finding other kids to play with. Or

I think you are kind of making the point rather than refuting it. Muggsy Bogues at 5'3" could dunk a basketball. As a person who is not much taller than that, I can tell you that no amount of dedication and hard work would allow m

On Safari, trying to view any app throws the following error: TypeError: Object.hasOwn is not a function. (In 'Object.hasOwn(e,t.from)', 'Object.hasOwn' is undefined) Looks amazing on Chrome though!

I don't think it's that they're ignorant. They probably don't really care if it's unrealistic or not. They're given a platform where they can describe exactly what it is they want, and given the imbalance in me

It was also a bit weird how they kept emphasizing how their on-prem installations were not affected, as if that lessens the severity somehow. It's like duh, that's the whole point of on-prem deployments.

In my company, such a communication would never come via a text, so that would be a red flag immediately. All such communications come via email, and we have pretty sophisticated vetting in place to ensure that no such "sketchy" e

Often, someone will be explaining something to me, but it's too complex to mentally model, or I'm not familiar enough with the architecture they're describing. So I'll say "I need boxes and arrows", we'll

In some cases, sure. But how many times have you had to attend to an email chain that went on way too long? Maybe a meeting is better if a decision can be reached more succinctly via a directed discussion.

Huh? In network tab in Chrome devtools, there are fetches for dataset.csv - the url is https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/32i0b/1/dataset.csv which downloads the dataset.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but is it really "exploiting" if both sides are happy? Remote devs are getting paid where they may not have in the past, and customers are getting code written up to a standard that is accept
