Also, please make it easy to find out which countries you do and don’t ship to. I’m tired of going through a long payment flow only to be faced with “We only ship to the continental USA”.

I suspect that often the reason for not getting a job is simply that there were more qualified candidates than positions. In that case, there may be no reasons to give; someone else was selected but your application wasn’t deficient in any

The industry has a lot more experience at making reliable ICE drivetrains, which helps to offset the increased complexity. After another decade or two they should be able to make the same reliability gains for electric ones. It may also be

It’s fundamentally language specific, so any comprehensive solution is going to need to interface with the localization system. Really, names should be keyed by (user, language, tag) triples, where the localization defines the acceptable t

by kd5bjo 7y ago
This is not sufficient if you’re going to localize to languages other than English. In some languages, proper names get declined like other nouns and thus change spelling in different contexts.

Fundamentally, it's the act of using your brain to simulate the computer that actually teaches your brain how the computer works so that you can reason about it later. In most domains, I find it best to start with doing things yoursel

Thanks. I was a software engineer at several different SF-area companies for about a decade, and then I decided to take some time off from professional programming. I'm now a full-time student in a CS Master's program. As I&#x2

Any procedural delay can be readily changed to a punitive delay on the whim of the official implementing the procedure.

Most of the incidents described here are strongly indicative of a terrible manager who’s learned to play the office politics game well. There’s little evidence here that points to systematic discrimination, but also nothing that refutes th

You should be able to come up with something. Fundamentally, the role of the executor is to be the bridge between sync and async code: it isn't async itself but is responsible for making all the async code move forward. No async cod

by kd5bjo 7y ago
It's probably worth noting that an async scheduler (executor in Rust terms) is required for this to be useful, hard to write yourself, and not provided by the standard library. There are crates that provide ready-made ones, and that wi

For situations like this, it's extremely useful to have a human-review queue that the automated system can drop jobs into. It keeps the rest of the system running, and lets the support staff (you) fix the problem during normal busines

If I had to guess, this is a trademark issue. First sale doctrine only gives him the right to sell legitimately-marked products, but not to use the Krispy Kreme marks in advertising. His FB page was called “Krispy Kreme Run Minnesota”, wh

There's also some cargo-cult legal reasoning going on as well, I think: instead of paying a lawyer to read the new law and tell you what you actually need to do, simply do whatever you see everyone else doing and assume it's fine.

I feel it's important to note that, although implied consent doesn't mean anything in a GDPR context, consent isn't necessarily required at all. It's only one of 6 different justifications a business can use to show the

Note that the GDPR isn’t just about cookies, it’s about all collection of personalized information, in any form. It also outlines plenty of scenarios that don’t require a separate permission request beyond simply doing business with a co

There’s also the issue of multi-user systems. The person who installs the extension is only competent to bind themselves to terms, and Grammerly doesn’t have any explicit relationship with other people that may use the same browser, especi

Even for adults, there’s separate restrictions on publishing the video for commercial purposes than for recording it in the first place. I don’t think Ring’s TOS can protect them from claims from the people who aren’t Ring customers themse

But it was their choice to enter into the contract in the first place. When someone delegates part of their job to someone else (in this case distribution to the publisher), that doesn’t absolve them of responsibility for the end result— c

I mostly agree with this in theory, but there’s a tragedy of the commons problem when working on a development team. A developer who takes the quick-and-dirty route will appear more productive in the short term than one who tries to mainta
