All of the big aggregator sites have price alerts. To grab short-term deals you have Airfarewatchdog and Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights, subscription needed for the best deals). All of those cover many more countries and airlines tha

More thorough than the usual travel blogger content in some ways. Seems mostly full of posts from government employees and diplomats. At least in Thailand many of those expats live in a gated community bubble, and only interact with Thais a

If the FAQ/knowledge base documentation has real value then you need to maintain it the same way you maintain and enhance the code. Ideally your product doesn't need separate documentation, and FAQs only have answers to general qu

Organizations can usually tolerate a considerable amount of mediocrity and incompetence, even at the upper management levels. Organizations usually don't want to allow insubordination or threats to the hierarchy. You see the same thing

The organization doesn't devalue people. Other individuals feel put-off and alienated by people who act the way the author of the article describes. Like it or not personal relationships matter, reducing friction matters, and small t

Agree, especially when no one writing code, or managing anything, has a meaningful measure of their "productivity," or how removing or changing variables might "optimize" it. People talk about optimizing their productivi

You have different kinds of friends than I do, I guess. If I went out with someone who quibbled abut a few pennies, or even a few dollars (or pounds, or yen), I would insist they get their own check from now on. Personally I have never part

No one knows what happens when we die. Everyone counts as “agnostic,” some people choose to delude themselves that they know for certain. We have no evidence of an afterlife in the religious sense. We have entirely convincing evidence that

So longevity and loyalty account for the CTO getting that role. In other contexts we would appreciate management caring about those things. I get what you mean about title inflation, but in a field where people with a year of experience can

If a service you use can destroy your business you need to have alternatives and a plan for that happening. Posting online like this doesn’t count as managing risk. If my car breaks down and I can’t get to work I don’t post online about how

No. None of the things you listed seem particularly time-consuming to me. And I prefer to ask questions so I can follow-up immediately with questions that arise. Nothing in my experience with so-called AI or digital assistants tells me they

I don’t understand the need for this and the many apps like it. I don’t understand apps to compute tips either. Automating simple arithmetic doesn’t seem useful to me. In my experience a group either decides to get separate bills, or they d

Very often people get and hold jobs they seem unqualified for, or perform poorly in. When they get senior management jobs they can cause or allow dysfunction. You may not know how they got the job. It could be through a personal relationshi

This is the whole foot testing the waters for the inevitable Trump support announcement. Immigrants who get rich seem even more insufferable than the native-born rich.

I haven’t found these specific things annoying. PHP has all of the features listed in the article. Not saying anyone should choose PHP over Go.

You can change your email address. You can try unsubscribing. Search for bulk unsubscribe tools. 20 million spam emails a day seems like an exaggeration. I get 10-20 a day to my GMail account, which I've had since the service started,

You listed some languages and tools, and described your experience, but you haven't framed what you'd like to do in terms of adding value for an employer. Companies don't hire because they need more SQL or Python code, they h

Likely true, but so what? LinkedIn already has very little value for job seekers (or recruiters) except as a numbers game because of its scale. Adding more spam to it doesn't improve anything, and spamming out CVs won't make recru
