It’s usually a symptom more than the cause. Unions are formed in environments where people feel it’d bad enough to pay the price. The same way if we looked at jobs hiring bodyguards, most would look pretty dangerous, but we wouldn’t blame t

This is the recipe used by some agencies to avoid scrutiny: have private companies do the job for them. Your argument’s end point looks like your freedom to only use video conferencing tools that respect your ideals. Would I do that, I’d ha

Symfony is directly inspired by Spring, and Laravel is an based on Symfony, so yes, that's the direction they are going. I kinda hate that trend, but it satisfies a cross section of devs who want "serious" enterprise looking

We collectively accepted that titles are supposed to be memetic though. For instance readability is second to shortness. Accuracy is lower priority to impact. Our whole history with titles points to short and punchy catch copies. Purely des

As others posted, cursive is the same deal in most european countries. Anecdotally this is why I can’t read most adult cursive writing, as I bailed very early to “print” like handwriting. I have no notion of how the letters flow and it just

Couldn't the hand positioning be mostly solved by remapping the few keys that pain you the most ? For me it was the control key and escape keys, and the others keys are otherwise standard. Also I'd argue people suffering from RSI

While I understand the tradeoff they took, it also means there’s no end to end encryption if any of the party is not paying. Imagine being in a call with 4 people, 3 of you are paying customers and you’ll need to ask the fourth to also pay

Arguably other companies would have taken the burden, and it could have been for the better, who knows. We might not see any obvious candidates for that, as Google was dominant and they had no market access. Imagine a timeline where Palm r

Not knowing your environment, trying to find other doctors could help. A lot of practicians have surprisingly little knowledge or very old views on depression. Some will very strongly argue against medication for instance, while others try

Soft warning: it's targeted at an adult/mature audience, some parts can be gruesome (yet sometimes insanely funny) I came into the series for the educational part, but stayed for the crazy jokes.

This is of course an interesting point that would satisfy curiosity. But if we are to accept the author’s central claim that it was reviewed and accepted by humans many times in these two years, the why isn’t really important. IMO it would

Thanks for the additional details. For the printers, you are right in that it’s far from being a solved problem on macos. I had an EPSON all in one before, and it was also a pain to get everything working. If I remember correctly the generi

Activation words are fuzzy by design. Siri is easy enough so we never looked much into it, but “OK Google” for instance looked like a real PITA, so we did some research before buying an assistant. It appears a ton of people just intentional
