Agreed, if a company trusts me little enough to want to constantly monitor me like that, they trust me little enough that they shouldn't hire me in the first place.

The absolute killer would be having a (ideally automatic) way to port existing Ruby applications to Crystal, and thus also tap into the existing ecosystem around Ruby. Though in order for that to really take off, they'd need to be able

Do you ever actually use that? I've come to the conclusion (on all search engines) that if the result I'm looking for isn't on the first page, it's not going to be on the second or third either, so I've stopped even

There are so any things wrong with Facebook, but them not paying news sites for the privilege of sending traffic their way is not one of them. We desperately need good legislation around social media, and I fear that bad legislation like th

The programmer also already had the value in book.user_id but still chose to ask the ORM to fetch all of .user so they could get .id from there instead. And they might then afterward call .name on it as well, and there would be no further q

For some reason I went in expecting either someone complaining about a UI redesign where a bar had been removed, or a former lawyer commiserating about being disbarred.

Well, it is the same value, but the ORM doesn't handle book.user.id any differently than it does book.user.name where it isn't the same value, and thus the only option is to fetch the second table. So it's not a bug, it'

Thing is, even with a UI as shitty as this, you would still have caught this if before actually committing the transaction, the software had a "before" and "after" view to show the effect of the change. Raj caught the er

Does anyone know if there is anywhere we can find a graph of interest (rather than debt) vs GDP? It seems more useful to compare one annualized number with another. With interest rates historically low, this might be less of a burden on the

I believe consumer choice is essential to making markets efficient. I think more of it is better. For example I also think we should have a right to repair, so companies are forced to give me a choice to repair instead of throwing away and

Those consumers should have every right to stay in that sandbox. And the rest of us should have the right to use a different one.

I'd love for Google to give the EU a solid reason to encourage homegrown (and tax-paying) alternatives to big US tech (much like China has managed to do with Baidu, WeChat and Alibaba). Breaking big tech monopolies is hard, so I can on

What I don't get is why the EU doesn't buy the vaccine patents from e.g. Pfizer (or failing that, buy Pfizer outright - it would still only cost a fraction of what the lockdowns and aid packages have cost) and release the patents
