To be fair to Automattic, that last quoted line is actually referring to a research project - not their hiring practices... > For our initial research, we’re looking for women and non-binary people....... But I understand your frustratio

A lot of DAWs use these. With the ones I have used you click the knob and then drag (up to turn the knob left, down for right). It's really horrible actually.

I have no answer to your question, but I can at least offer some sympathy and confirmation. I've been looking for a remote position for months and have been eliminated from consideration many times because I didn't have "X&qu

I love sushi, but gave it up about 2 years ago for this exact reason. We were at the Eiffel Tower for lunch (part of a tour) and they served us a raw beef concoction. I tried it, and spent the entire flight back to the US extremely ill (I&#

In my experience, Amazon is no better in the customer service department. I recently ordered some unscented deodorant from Amazon and they sent me some horrible smelling "Sport" scent. Fine, mistakes happen, but when I went to ret

Interesting. I spent several years at a small regional power company where we did some initial work on smart meters. That was probably 10 years ago and from what I understand they're still trying to get it all working on a large scale.

Plenty of Accenture fluff in here, but a little worrying that so many companies are not getting what they want out of cloud technologies. "The barrier noted most frequently by respondents in their top three was “security and compliance

Why does Lenovo persist with the Quadro GPUs? None of their workstation models have the option for a GTX 10-series. I recently bought a gaming laptop (not a gamer) so I could have the GPU power for ML. Surely there's a big enough marke

The Kindle app on iPad is no better for technical books. Images are low resolution and mathematical formulas are frequently displayed incorrectly. I only buy tech books now if I can get them in unlocked PDF format. I import those into iBook

To be honest, I prefer PS to the Azure CLI but I have had to resort to the CLI on a couple of occasions. If I remember correctly it was to reset credentials on a VM (which wasn't possible with PS at the time). I guess the main problem
