I love it. If you're offended by this, you take life way too damn seriously. I use a lot of bootstrap for internal web apps so that I can spend nearly zero time on thinking about the UI/layout and all my time just gettin the damn

It seems like the best thing for you and the company you work for is for you to let them know and give them the option of letting you split time at both companies or lose you completely. You will definitely want to talk to a lawyer who can

They probably are. I wonder if you'd be better off printing the photos at Walgreens or something like that. Also, it would seem HIGHLY wasteful to use a high quality photo inkjet printer to print your Amazon return label...

I don't print 200 pages a year. I might not even print 200 pages in 2 years. At my usage level I would have to buy a new freaking inkjet cartridge EVERY TIME I wanted to print because they'd be dry.

I don't know why people still bother with inkjets. It's like the companies are actively punishing you for buying these models of printers. If they are necessary for work, then MAYBE. But even then, if you're buying commercial

If one on ones aren't normally scheduled, then seeing one popup is definitely cause for anxiety. If the company or manager sets a regular schedule for them, then it shouldn't be cause for pants shitting- unless of course you royal

To add on to this, if what you are saying is constructive, meant to be meaningful/helpful, and is true- then what fears of getting fired should you have? Even if you're just bitching about some thing/person/policy that g

A one on one shouldn't require playing along or a good poker face. Granted, you're the best judge of the type of manager that you're dealing with, but if they're any decent kind of person you should be able to ask them f

If they're a normally scheduled meeting it seems odd that you would be so anxious about them. I could totally see the anxiety if they weren't part of a routine, where if one suddenly popped up you'd be wondering what it could

It is, but once you agree on the context it provides, it can be a word that is useful when describing how you plan to deploy some section of code. We use Lambdas for a bunch of different async work tasks like PDF generation and such. Warm o

If you use hosted JIRA and don't have many users it could cost as little as $5-$25 per month. That's probably cheaper than a lot of the non-F/OSS alternatives. If you are having problems with your device tracking now, I would

Lambdas are a bit more "serverless" than most things as they can be spun up anywhere and you're just coding to the entry method signature that passes you some request context. I think we all understand that it's got to r

That's true that anyone with a repo is essentially a customer, paying or not. But CocoaPods is really a bad actor in this in that they're not just hosting source code up their for development purposes. They're using it like a

Even if they were a paying customer- what would you do if GH could support that volume? Obviously there are SLAs in place if you're big enough, but at the end of the day, if they simply just can't handle the volume what are going
