Same thing with my Skype account. I have it logged in on both my phone and my laptop. One day it decides to automatically log me out on both and when I try to log in it insists on requiring sending a code to a phone number that I no longer

Every time I see a project on GitHub being pressured to change a term because of PC a little of me die inside. I still remember the PR where someone changed the term master to primary in Swift and Chris Lattner wrote a comment to object, on

Every single negative BBC articles about China these days reference him, it's actually rather funny considering his track record and background. I don't know why they treat him as some sort of authoritative source about China when

Chrome is extremely anti user choice. They have a very "we know better than you" attitude. There is about:flags but most flags are temporary and are eventually removed.

Nitpick, but those 2 sentences are not logically equivalent: "You cannot trust anything reported out of China" = "Nothing reported out of China can be trusted", while "You cannot trust something reported out of Chin

There seems to be a disconnect between what the US says and what it does. I certainly believe US people have a strong ethical compass in their world view, at least from the people I interact with and what I read every day. At the same time,

Depending on your level of access, I can think of many ways. You can do a "takeout" of all data in the account and sell that. Or it can be anything that is requested, like a dump of all the private messages. You can change the pas

On the one hand, it's annoying that they leave out the most seek-after detail of the article, one that everyone who reads the article wants to know about. On the other hand, the BBC has been in hot water in the past when they reported

Yeah, god helps if a higher up is a zealot about a technology. They will try to suggest that at every opportunity and arguing against it makes you stand out like a sore thumb that after a while you wonder why you even bother.

Agree about retrospectives. It's such a waste of time. Most of the time it's just there so that the scrum master can show off their new game and try to justify their usefulness.
