The engineers shouldn't feel that they've wasted years of their life, if they built quality tech. They should be proud of what they achieved. Not their fault that management was useless.

There are a significant number of large orgs on G Suite enterprise now. And Gmail is a key part of the offering for many. So they won't be shutting down Gmail altogether anytime soon. Although sunsetting free Gmail accounts in the futu

I know it's not a reliable source by itself, and it lists no citations for the sentence in question, but FWIW, I based my answer on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbat#Etymology : > Other related words are ..

Shabbat (apart from meaning "rest") is also generally accepted as deriving from the Hebrew word for "seven", which is "sheva". And Shabbat is sometimes referred to in Hebrew as "yom shvi-i" ("sev

Indeed. In my experience, even if you don't use any other cloud service, do yourself a favour, and use S3 + Cloudfront (or equivalent) for static / uploaded files. Then, if and when you need to scale your web tier horizontally, yo

How fitting, then, that so many of the USA's capital city buildings boast heavily Roman-inspired architecture.

Same here. If they ask for a full US address, I put 1 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills CA 90210 (not sure if that's actually a valid address, but in my experience plenty of web sites think it is).

Yeah, that one took me by surprise. I had no idea that multiple from addressees was possible. I wonder how many (popular today) email clients support that (for sending and/or for receiving)?

Are you suggesting that Gorbachev went to retire in the US? He travelled extensively to the US and elsewhere, but as far as I know he only ever lived in Russia.

Indeed. Why bother developing engines to power turbines for your ships, when you can just chain up a hundred slaves in the galley and give them oars?

The vast majority of deaths here in Australia, since the end of lockdowns and closed borders, have been amongst the unvaccinated, the elderly, and the immunocompromised (particularly the first of those three). We're not seeing young, n

I highly suspect that, in the vast majority of legal proceedings (all but the most high-budget high-stakes ones), all involved simple assume that all the (PDF exports of / hard-copy print-outs of) emails in the case files are genuine.

Yes! This! I boycott step-by-step GPS navigation, and encourage everyone else to do so too. I enjoy navigating road networks, and don't want that skill of mine eroded. When going somewhere I know, I just go. When going somewhere I don&

Got me reading up on Carnivora. Interesting, I never knew that walruses and seals are so closely related to canines and felines! Then again, I never studied biology, so there are no doubt plenty more similarly well-known fauna family ties t

It was Australia's copying of NZ's strict Covid policies that saved so many lives here too. Although Jacinda took the lead every time, and Scummo inevitably followed in her footsteps a few days / weeks later, and it was alway

Yep. The general consensus here in Australia is: "look at the USA, their bill of rights has the right to bear arms, gee didn't that turn out great, we'll stick with what we've got thanks".

Not just any old protest. Chaining oneself to train tracks, stopping coal-laden trains from reaching the Port of Newcastle (the world's biggest coal export facility). Don't underestimate what the fossil fools in power here in Aust

A government with little enough concern for its citizens, and enough tech savviness, can effectively ban cryptocurrency too. Case in point: China.

The fact that they all stopped at one intersection, suggests to me that it's a deadlock issue. "You go". "No, you go". "No, really, I insist".

Agreed. In my early 20s, I spent a year backpacking around the world. I was fortunate enough to have the money, which I could have instead invested in property. Now I'm in my late 30s, I struggled to buy a home, I have a big mortgage,

Time itself isn't constant, so arguably a constant time algorithm is an oxymoron! But that's a whole 'nother topic.
