And honestly, why shouldn't it? I work with an organization that has people all over the world – including India – and aside from time zone awkwardness it works pretty well. Advocating against remote work as a means to achieve job secu

Most people I've ever worked with treat email as an immediate conversation. If you don't respond within 20 minutes (and typically within 5) they'll send another, try me over chat, or even call and immediately go "did you

There are dozens of us, dozens! Judging by any Stockholm coffee shop as well we’re all programmers, so the math checks out.

This seems like as much of a non sequitur as "skipping" syntactic elements. The comparison is clearly syntactic, and thus factually incorrect – the second example is in fact longer than the first. Sure, if you swap in another ex

Oh, I forgot – it's probably worth considering using examples written in the same programming language as well.

I have zero experience with Qt, but I'm pretty sure I can follow along with the examples anyway. (I do have experience with React, JS, and Python.) It seems to me you're making a syntax comparison and using shorter as an argumen

Or MXML, which most certainly was influenced if not entirely derived from XAML. Everything old is new again!

No, you can’t “skip” them. If you skip them, the code is broken. The lines may well be noise, and arguably that’s even worse, but you certainly can’t skip them – counting or otherwise.

The only thing I miss from my 2015 MBP is the MagSafe charger. Hardware wise, everything else now is better I think, even the touch bar which actually means there’s some utility for me in that space of the keyboard – I never used the Fn-key

Many banks use thin clients that just log you on to a VM running on a rack mounted box somewhere. There’s a very good chance this fella has never even seen the physical hardware their system is running on. There’s also a very good chance th

I’d imagine the smell of decay is taking creative liberties with the truth. Any damp forest will have a certain smell of decay to it, more likely due to the fungus and rotting wood, than the smell of rotting bodies. That said, I’m sure bein

Given Trump’s base, I’d be surprised if they gave two cents about what happens on the other side of the world.

I don't know anything about Tesla or working there, but my experience from large financial institutions is that acronyms are part and parcel of business speak. It's beyond comical, because very often you'll see the acronyms i

I think some sort of variable lighting would be nifty, but in my book it's the wrong solution to what is really a problem of keeping distance. For highway driving the answer for me there has been adaptive cruise control – it's ama

My cousin used to live in a place on the upper east side that had a manned elevator. It was the first time I’ve ever been in one, and initially it felt a bit awkward but a ride or two later I was got used to it and then wondered why not all

Arguable. At least an unknown header is likely to just be ignored, whereas a URL that’s changed to update the version will at best cause 404s, unless you keep the old URLs around. If those URLs are still recognized, but routed to the later

I don’t think you have this right. First, both the URL and the headers are in-band. Out-of-band would be you knowing that the version is v2.3.7, because you just know. In-band is anything in the request and response – headers and all – any

I have a similar take on this, but expand it a bit by arguing that any line of code added – no matter how innocuous – is a liability. It's a line of code that has to be maintained, with all of the responsibilities that come with that.

I don't disagree with you, but it's also hard to ignore that this makes for an uncomfortable position for the Brexiteers.

In my experience typically only minor infractions like parking violations are assigned to the registered owner of the vehicle, but in other case – accidents, running red lights etc. – the driver is liable regardless of who owns the car.

Hah, that’d be ironic – the UK is of course still a full member of the EU but for them to push any agenda but brexit can’t very well be good for negotiations, nor the public perception of it all, can it?
