Because it reminds people of slavery which is still fresh in the minds of many and makes some uncomfortable Well, "main" is like "mainmast" of the sailing ships that brought the slaves over. See, once you start this ga

Where is this? At Senior level in London it can take days once you're good and ready. Basecamp is fully remote isn't it? So it could be anywhere.

I don't think a political discussion now and then at work is an issue per se. As long as you remember you're talking with colleagues, and you have to keep a respectful tone and be friendly and collaborative with them all the same

From your link If you rent a server (real or virtual), whose software load you have control over, that's not SaaSS. In SaaSS, someone else decides what software runs on the server and therefore controls the computing it does for you.

costs for hiring the wrong people I've read a bit more about the background to this now, and they hired someone in December who immediately went on an internal advocacy campaign for their personal politics. So, all of this, is the co

no one should be allowed to say or do anything at work that makes anyone uncomfortable in a personal way I agree with this but plot twist: in a world where “silence is violence” you cannot choose to simply opt out.

I've always used the cheapest keyboard I can find on Amazon, usually around $10. I've written software, books and movies on shitty keyboards. What's a fancy keyboard supposed to give me? I could feel the early onset of what

So why didn’t your company fire those unexperienced expensive consultants and hire good ones? Consulting deals are sold on the golf course, noone at that level cares what actually happens as long as the slides produced justify what they w

Thanks. How was this one company able to distort the market? Is this an American thing? Here in the UK mechanical keyboards are readily available with no such issues. I don't think we suffer from any "money grab" situation.

It basically only exists for software developers. There's only "an app for that" if you have developers. Having said that Apple needs only to meet the very, very low bar of having a better ecosystem than Android.

I enjoyed the hobby, not amymore. Since around 2016, the money grab situation became a joke, it all started with Drop (former massdrop) and it all went downhill.. I have been a mechanical keyboard user for decades and I have no idea what

All they had to do was keep focused on their actual demographic (high-end office workers), allow their other demographic (drug dealers / buyers), and let everyone else worry about consumers If they had opened up BBM, WhatsApp would n

Many modern US "conservatives" complain that Star Trek is political, and when it was Kirk and Picard it wasn't. If you said that you didn't like Kirk, he's an unbelievable badly-written over-the-top Mary Sue chara

It does when the malicious file is discovered and its signature added to the database. Even if it was allowed to run before, subsequent runs can be blocked and the sysadmin notified.

I still think Chomsky and anyone who agrees with him are wrong. Chomsky has been known to be wrong for decades. His real talent, if not genius, was pivoting away from linguistics while his reputation was still strong, and managing to pres

I disagree with the author there to but for very different reasons than you. In the 90s we already had OS/2 (who's DOS emulation was so sophisticated that it could run Windows 3.1). Not to mention a whole boat load of better home

In my experience, relying on "prettifier" websites is directly a result of the lack of canonical, well-supported CLI tools for prettifying most programming and markup languages. It's such a weird glaring gap in dev tooling.

Through context it seems like they simply mean 'prostitute' ... 'sex worker' sounds to me like an umbrella term for anyone working in sex industry. Is the word 'prostitute' not pc or something? An "inter

I think what we will (need) to see in coming time is more security awareness wrt. development tooling and setup. Management at a former employer quite rightly freaked out when they realised that their devs on a certain subcontinent were r

I know my devices are (probably) not listening, but I can't explain it either. Neither of us searched for the product or saw it online or anything, we just discussed something and got ads about it a few minutes to hours later. It&#x2

But that would be hard to do in the tourist country. Turkey has a lot more going on than tourism, it has a significant manufacturing sector. If the Russians took payment for S400s in Bitcoin, they would soon reverse this ban.
