It always seems to be the large tech companies that think they are so clever tying the language to your IP location rather than your language preferences. Google, Spotify, PayPal and others all seem convinced, no matter what I do, that beca

I totally agree. However, in corporate politics especially, one has to acknowledge that truth is not the basis on which the organisation or individuals are operating on. It is money and status. Viewed through that lens, it is not important

In formal contexts, I believe this is reasonable. Some statements can still be made in confidence without the preface, particularly concerning the present or recent past. Given the existence of such certainties, I think it is important to d

Great story and useful lesson, thanks for sharing. Also, going to add "voluntold" to my lexicon :D

Genuine question, what is the concern about a Russian search engine? Every argument I can think of is just worse with Google (spying, propaganda, censorship, security etc).

Congrats on the business, I hope this inspires others to pursue their dreams. Since you mentioned a specific number of applications (60+), I just wanted to share my job hunt story. When I was last looking for a role (8 months ago), I starte

It's a term that has been adopted to sound more professional than "keeping up appearances" which is an age-old concept. It is about how things are/will be perceived by others, rather than the truth of the matter.

As someone reasonably early in their career, I'd be really interested to hear from you or other people with experience in this area. How does one handle this correctly? I'm sure it's a case-by-case basis, but what are the com

Community servers will definitely be the answer for this in the long run.

As a frequent user of fixups, this feels like a solution for already broken workflows. > Instead of manually finding commit SHAs for git commit --fixup Assuming you are using fixups, is this actually a problem? I could see this being a p

Depending on seniority and the role, combined with tenure it isn't that hard to negotiate a part time arrangement. Even in startups where being on hand to solve issues is key, I don't actually need to work full time to deliver wha

PM: What about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits. Best comedy series.

Why can't it be both? On the one hand, well intentioned economically mobile people are not practising healthy sleep habits. On the other, our societal structures do not facilitate or encourage healthy sleeping patterns. The reason to

That's probably true with our current technology and understanding of a Mars colony. The idea would be to get to a point where we have (at least) a self-sufficient colony as a backup. As others have pointed out, it doesn't have to

Real-world problem, likely related to what you do. Simulate day-to-day problems. E.g. you are a marketplace business, ask them to do a simple basket system, or a checkout or a product catalogue etc. Ask them to review some code and provide

I'm not sure it's accurate to say it's obscure given the first wiki result for "ATS" is the one being discussed.

I wonder if it's possible to make adaptive surfaces on touch screens using the developments in bending displays. Being able to provide physical cues on a touch screen would have a wide array of applications. Obviously physical buttons

Documentation is far from perfect for anything remotely sophisticated. One often runs into issues with a third-party library that comes down to not understanding what's going on under the hood. In cases like this, it's really help

Whilst I would agree that a monolith can run into scalability issues, I am not sure your characterisation of Rails as such is proportionate. To say that Rails' architecture is a "sigificant barrier for any project beyond the simpl
