I have 2 recurring meetings per week, standups MWF, and design sessions (I'm in software architecture). Other than that, really nothing, besides the occasional quarterly department all-hands. My longest meetings are the design sessions

> As I see it, supporting Linux on a specific use case is not a sign of wising up, but a desperate concession to try to stay relevant. Those are really the same thing, "wising up" and "trying to stay relevant".

No, because it's not a bearer token. Edit for clarity: A bearer token [0] is a concept for OAuth. This is not OAuth. [0] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-1.2

I don't know about McD's, but I work at another very large franchised quick-service restaurant (QSR) (not McD's, but in a different category). For companies like these, that operate in 10's of thousands of franchisee-own

> The substantial difference between a franchise and an pyramid scheme is that a franchisee only sells products to consumers/end-users, not the franchise itself. Not true. Most franchisors make a royalty from sales, but also make a

Not always. There's usually exemptions, not that I know how that applies here. I used to (mid-2000s) work for a SaaS company whose main customers were municipalities and universities in the US. We always had NDAs on file for customers

I worked in an electronics store (regional, not Best Buy, and out of business now) in the mid-2000s that had this exact measure. In my store, on busy days, the manager would occasionally "greet" customers at the door for 10 minute

That sounds successful to me! Congrats!

WASM (Blazor) uses the Mono runtime. > I guess the more interesting question is, do you think Mono will remain important for the places you've mentioned, or will be replaced more and more by .NET Core? Especially given the UI goals

Generics (when used/implemented correctly) provide way more than just elimination of type assertions. It provides compile-time type safety, rather than runtime safety. It also provides elimination of the overhead (which isn't triv

American here (Midwest), I've only ever heard it used in the sense of definition 1. It's always been utensils to me, never dishes or containers. In my area, flatware == silverware, but not necessarily silver.

I gotcha. Sorry for getting ranty, but it does seem like a useful tool. Good job on shipping something useful!

Can we stop calling these "REST" tools? They're just HTTP clients/tools. There's nothing "REST" about them.

I believe the grandparent was talking about machine-language. Take some WASM, produce an EXE, for example.

Multiple return values. Using out vars is so clunky to me (and I've been in .Net for about 10 years now). instead of "bool TryGetSomething(int param, out MyType outvar)", I rather prefer (bool, MyType) TryGetSomething(int par

Probably more like value reasons. What's the point? Would that drive more users to Facebook? Or current users to spend more time there?

You see this a lot in C# projects that are ports from a Java analogue, like log4net.

When you search for an item, you can filter it to only items sold by Amazon directly. It's under the "Seller" category. I do this quite a bit.

The point isn't about whether GMOs are safe (I supsect they are), it's about the skewed debate. Companies that produce GMO products (and the groups on the other side as well) stifle debate to the point that it's nigh impossib

At least at the federal level, no they don't. Unless they decided not to hire you (or fired you afterwards). Then they only have to provide "a notice that includes a copy of the consumer report you relied on to make your decision&

Calling a situation in which an employer trades you money for your time and effort "slave labor" is a disgusting metaphor and an affront to actual slaves. You should be ashamed. I enter into employment agreements knowing full well

I, too, dress more formally than my peers. I'm in that weird Generation Y (mid 30s-early 40s) that started working in the late 90s/early 00s where business casual was expected but before casual became the norm.

It's interesting, isn't it? I myself dress business casual even though my workplace is a casual place (jeans, tshirts, shorts, sandals, whatever). It's just more _me_. I don't like how sloppy I look in t-shirts. I don&#x

Wait, why was your client running a desktop OS in-scope? Every PCI zone I've seen is just servers (Windows Server and Linux). Does the client store card data on desktop machines? Generally, you'll have a locked-down portion of you

Yeah, I live in Michigan, and while I do make really good money (especially for this area - more than triple the median), my wife and I live simply in our 1100 square foot 2-bedroom house with our 10-year-old cars and no debt. I know that I
