Bonuses are not to be considered to be pay for performance. They are to be considered as a part of pay that can be withdrawn if either the company does badly and can't afford it, or if the employee does visibly badly. They are a good t

While this obviously is a bad thing, the article seems overly dramatic. "... could have been hurt" "... count have damaged".... But in fact not.

I didn't know that ubuntu had a phone. I wondered if it could be installed on my own phone? Doessn't seem to mention that on their website. Oh well perhaps I'll buy one "Note — all our devices are currently sold out&quot

Well physical security is the same. You could make your house entirely thief proof but nobody does because the cost isn't worth it.

This last day or two I have had about 10 people in my facebook feed excitedly post a link to an article about how some scientist has "discovered" that if you cook a potato you can power a led lightbulb off it for 40 days. And then

Often when looking at things like this, the reason that most organisms don't have the protein is that it's not cost free. It's expensive to make, or there are other downsides so it got evolved away by natural selection. For e

"than expected" by who? I think most of us here would assume it recorded everything it possible could all the time.

Well good for them and I wish them success. But I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't understand this. In order to use formal verification you have to provide a complete and correct specification of what you want the software to do. We already have formal languages for doing this called programming languages. Ho

Because it's a functional language. And other than noisy functional language fans, most people prefer imperative programming.

Why is that website only using the middle of the page, and has a blank line between every line of text. Is there some competition for who can use as little of my screen as possible in a useful way?

Interesting article but very subjective. I don't really agree with his idea of what is "better".

This just looks extra confusing to me

"Persistence domain". Ugh. This is supposed to be a CPU not some marketing speak showcase.

A lot of my time is 'wasted' by recovering from work. I have a nice physically easy programming job. But it's quite a lot of hours, and there is travel on top of that. But when I get home I need to spend at least an hour basi

I think projects like this are really important because they help reduce the impression that big server projects are only meant to be done by big companies. The internet is becoming a content consumption medium for many people. I'm not

I think that fruits have an issue too. The fruit we get today has been bred to contain a lot more sugar than they did originally. I'm not convinced that lots of fruit all the time is as good for you as it ought to be.

There seems to be increasing evidence that high blood sugar over a long period of time is very bad for you. That insulin response keeps this under control mostly... but that it was probably never meant to be active all day, every day. So ea

The answers appears to be "snapchat" according to the article. So nothing useful then.

Training courses seem to be a place that they've increasingly made terrible in this way. I'm fine with useful training where they teach you some stuff, and let you have a go at it, and are available for questions. But no... these

How is this going to work? Are there going to be games for it that won't run on the cheaper version? Will they design games for this and simply cut out graphics features to make it run on the slower version? Will companies really inves

Ugh this again. No. People have a first name, and they have a last name. Each name consists of a reasonable number of ascii characters. If they decide they are special and don't wish to conform to this scheme how is this my problem? W
