I don't think the problem is other people noticing as much as thinking they're noticing. You can feel a bit weird if someone goes "beers for everyone?", everyone's agreeing and you're the one that has to go "no thanks, a coke would be nice"

It seems that it's not so much what they do with their free time, but that they "take" it at all. I've seen people going completely crazy because they didn't get a response from developers within an hour or so. On Sunday. At 0400h (am).

Yeah, I wonder how "How's it going?" or "Yo" fare against a simple "Hi" in customer relations. Maybe there's something to be said for making that less formal.

Might also be because of things like "god damnit, ur hot". I got the feeling that they didn't really look into confounding variables, like common sentences that trigger multiple rules.

Apologies are a way to acknowledge that mistakes were made in the past as well as that there's an intention not to make them again. As such they help us prevent future mistakes.

I don't worry about CPU. What I do worry about is cost and most of all the amount of effort required to set it up. You'd have to get a key somewhere (figure out where you get one that is both supported by most important browsers and as chea

As far as I can tell, the principle of least power[1] applies to descriptive languages (HTML, RDF, etc.) that are meant to store information. A program by comparison is meant to store instructions. I'm unsure about the argument you're makin
