Even if they leave a non-RTO company and join a non-RTO company its an interesting effect. It seems that being forced to RTO in the same role can lead to unhappiness and into 'shields down' ( https://randsinrepose.com&#x

It sounds more like Rashida Jones than SJ to me. I think part of this PR cycle is also the priming effect, where if you're primed to hear something and then listen you do great it.

You make it sound nefarious for them to loan power tools somehow, while it seems like it's just an identified community need niche that they can service that no other organization will, the same as offering free tax advice or ESL class

What's the difference between "getting confused" and "lying" in a predictive model? Normally lying means conveying a falsehood that you know is a falsehood with the intent to deceive. Both the 'know it's a

If you have 17k followers how many actual eyeballs see your posts? I guess it largely depends on how "stale" the account followers are (= how many are still active), but I have to guess it's below 1k? Maybe even below 100? Th

The claim is that there are literally no observable organizations running without chaos, so are we to believe the only one to achieve it is nefarious instead of just regular profiteering? I like the meta conspiracy theory that the only orga

Transitions API is more about supporting hero animations which others native apps and SPAs can have. I want something much simpler: if navigating between documents and it would reset to pure white then just hold the previous documents backg

It's a legitimate shortcut, don't take the issue of some browsers having less than ideal page navigation behavior too hard.

The reality is that the "dark" majority of preexisting code has essentially no performance requirements/concerns; they're business scripts that could literally run on a toaster with no problem if you could get the code o

It can use css on the web but in general it uses skia directly which is C++ and OpenGL (or Metal or whatever).

The claim is more that the C++ std is designed to take advantage of C++ language features. Mimicking the same API in C isn't a good lib, the C API shape would need to be different.

I prefer the interpretation of an ominous prediction that the presidency will be filled by 24 million babies someday soon. Switzerland does have a committee of 7 people as president, only a small step from that to 24 million babies.
