I use Wordpress for many clients because it's the simplest solution that also ensure they can find other developers to take over if I'm not there. Wordpress is a dumpster fire and I hate it with a passion, though. Like, viscerally

You might actually make a point worth making if you weren't so bizarrely emotional about defending, of all things, chaebols.

Agreed! I'm kind of expecting that something like that will happen over here eventually.

Yeah, fair enough. Sometimes I just get angry and I know it doesn't help.

So we can conclude that Atlassian started its journey fucking up Trello?

you're replying to what I've marked as a right-wing brazilian. In my experience these types glorify even the Trumpian America and don't have any awareness of their local issues because they're 'middle class' an

For some reason I feel that I should be honest about downvoting your comment just because of the insane number of sentences mentioning 'woke' <x> and <y>. I just tend to zone out when commenters bore the shit out of me

It could depend on the store. Over here in The Netherlands, most supermarkets have, to various degrees, implemented measures to protect workers (plexiglass, timed restocking, etc.) and measures to encourage social distancing (reminders and

It's also an open question for me. I'm wondering though if, even with the limited data we have now, there are examples of countries that took a similar approach and had their two-weeks-later 'explosion' (or possibly thre

Oof. This kind of behavior would be enough for me to pass on hiring someone if I discovered it during the interview process... EDIT: It also gives "I code stuff and try to crash in creative ways." in his profile a somewhat differe

Surely the sensible option would be for Atlassian to allow you to keep all your personal boards and only show the work-email boards if you sign in, or allow you to 'disconnect' from those? And if this is technically difficult to d

Interesting. I never really gave it much thought, but Ij actually bothers me so much that I usually try to avoid using it at the beginning of a sentence, and I cringe when I need to capitalize because it's a place (like Ijsselmeer). Ju

"Ij" is also one sounds represented bij two letters, and I think capitalizing just the 'I' is pretty standard. As a Dutch person myself, I didn't even know that there's a glyph for it! We also have "ei&quo

I'm assuming you're intelligent on account of being able to write a comment and doing so on HN. Have you really never heard of FB's shadow profiles and the like? Are you being wilfully ignorant?

To add some real-world data to that: In the supermarkets I visit, all over town, the use of carts/drag-carts is forced, they're generally not cleaned by staff, and in the aisles there's a general awareness of avoiding each ot

For those who have completely surrendered to 'the economy', mostly neoliberal/laissez-faire, this is par for the course.

In 'fairness' to the poster, if they're relying on CNBC for their perspective, they're idiots unless they're really young and haven't been burned before by the mainstream media's reporting.

I'll second this. I've read many "why I'm leaving <x>" posts and regardless of the degree someone might agree/disagree with the contents, it's a very fair article. That's difficult to pull off,

My brief experience has been similar. Elm is a dictatorship that could be wonderful if it didn't exist in the realm of messy html/js. I experience an icky feeling of stockholm-syndrome part of the time, and just plain frustration
