Many leagues were stopped for weeks/months due to covid and then resumed. Wondering how this relatively long period of inactivity affected players' health. Also: some leagues finished their season later than usual and the rest bef

Interesting point on lawsuits! I never thought this way (maybe because lawsuits sounds like a very American thing, and I'm in EU)

For anyone who works at the company who does that: why you do it? Is it to reduce amount of testing, and only have a few "blessed" browsers with guaranteed happy experience? Any other reasons?

For ~4k-ish of overdraft fees assuming ~$40 per single overdraft, they'd have to have hundred-ish transactions, sounds like a lot transactions (or the overdraft fees getting exponentially bigger with each one?)

How in the hell they calculated so much overdraft fees? They charge 500% overdraft?

by jakub_g 5y ago
Fun fact: when you get money in and money out the same day on an account, some banks count the money out first, so that they can charge you for a possible overdraft Edit: just saw another comment on reordering by tx size, omg https:/&

Firefox releases every 4 weeks. Safari releases twice a year. That's a significant difference. We should all expect more from a $2.5T company (whose browser engine is the only allowed browser engine on iOS). To clarify: it's not a

An explanation I saw lately about misalign between salaries of newly hired people and existing employees is due to budgeting. The budget for new hires comes from one budget line, and budget for increases comes from another. A manager has $N

In Polish there are two meanings of 'meta': 1) finish line (e.g. of a marathon) 2) a place where you can buy illegal vodka, cigarettes etc. :)

The problem is mainly with 99% of towels being ultra symmetric (up/down, left/right, front/reverse). When your towel is asymmetric, you can split it into zones for various things :)

It's very tempting sometimes, and small refactors are fine and normal practice, but if I need a substantial refactor, I tend to do temp commit; refactor; then rebase and reorder commits with git rebase -i. It really doesn't take a

by jakub_g 5y ago
It's generally a good idea for each commit (or even PR) to be isolated unit of work on its own. Makes much easier to review, and isolate regressions. - refactoring: one commit - fixing a bug: one commit - fixing another unrelated bug:

The country opened up a few years ago once the long-term president died and was replaced by a more progressive one. There was a moderate amount of western investment since - modernizing rail, telecom infra etc. Also as mentioned by another

Anecdata but my 5-year ThinkPad and 3-year Dell are doing fine (also a 10-year Asus). I've been always hibernating for the night. 16GB RAM, takes at most few seconds. I don't get this allergy to hibernation, is it such a killer to

That's the thing. When govs talk about increasing taxes to "tax the rich" they end up changing income tax at high brackets. Which effectively taxes people who are not yet rich, but trying to be. The real rich people own lan

When Macron tried doing that in France pre-covid, people went on streets ("yellow vests"). 50€ more on fuel each month is a lot of money for many people who have to commute to work many kms from small towns.

Been using M570 too for some time. However recently I've read that some research suggests that thumb-operated trackballs might do bad things to your thumb and that finger-operated trackballs (like Kensington Expert) are less risky. Wor
