They are paying out this year, then introducing a 10% profit share next year. But, as I said, this is just a compensation discussion. If people are unhappy they can renegotiate their comp or find someone else to pay them more.

Well one of the companies had to step in and ban certain areas of discussion among employees because it was so toxic it was effecting the company. So _they_ don't sound super happy.

The job market is great, if people aren't happy with their comp they can find someone who wants to pay them more.

I honestly think people are reading too much into this. They straight out say that discussions were turning toxic. That presumably impacted the ability of teams to be productive in the jobs they were paid to do. That's the why.

But now you get cash instead, and you can exchange that cash for goods and services, such as a gym membership.

But isn't the place to discuss those issues, if they are impacting you at your workplace, with your manager, HR or your union? Not to start a thread on the work discussion forum?

Atlassian's market cap is almost $60B, Basecamp will be pretty happy if this small change leads to that sort of success.

100% this. Deprecating things your customers use always sucks for your customers. No matter what. It doesn't matter how long the notice is. It doesn't matter how good the replacement is. You have made work for your customers tha

It's not just about lazy typing it's about removing unnecessary clutter from large queries that makes things harder to read. In the author/books example, repeating the words author and books a dozen times doesn't conve

I bought a 4000 when I decided it was finally time to learn to touch type properly so that I'd be force to use the right hands for each half (I tended to use my dominant hand far too much). It worked great for that, and now I use a kin

I've seen a few text editor pros who just weren't aware of what modern ides are capable of, particularly with strongly typed languages. They thought grep, regex and keyboard shortcuts were impressive.

Because most people don't have blogs these days and it's not worth setting one up for a one-off short thing like this. It's also perfectly readable for its target audience of people who use twitter.

If you keep reading down the thread they say even with the release hardware it won't work for "months".

100% agree. I'm moving my family to Apple.

I've been on Android since the first Android phones and also pay for GPM. I'm moving to Apple. I'm sick of Google's approach to user services.

Let's face it, the answer to "caniuse" a feature that isn't in Chrome yet is "no".

Launched a clearly better product that everyone flocked to because it worked so much better than the competition. I'm not sure how that relates to DDG though.

We would need to see median consumption, rather than per capita, to compare to the wealth figures above. The US rates very highly in wealth per capita as well.

Yeah, I think it's mostly screen time. Someone getting 2 days out of a 3a isn't using it 6 hours a day. But some people do.

I've been programming professionally a long time and had toyed with python before for small scripts, but have only recently had to write larger amounts of production code, and I was not prepared for how bad the python import system is.

Only a court can decide that. Parody is a defence in a copyright infringement case when it comes down to it, which is why Weird Al just gets permission instead. There's a lot of uncertainty on the edges. It's interesting to read a

This is the point I was going to make. For a parody fair-use defence to be valid, you need to be parodying the thing you are infringing on, and as much as people always say "oh this is parody so it's clear fair use" by the ac

Yeah I have a friend who works for a small company (although not a startup) that provides essential services to the government, we think he's as safe as anyone.

This is the thing I've seen a lot of tech people missing, they are all "I'll be fine, my company already works from home and our business isn't effected". Yes, but what about your customers businesses? What if they
