Realpolitik is not a skill common among engineers. I won't begrudge anyone their outrage.

Yes, but I also think that making sausage in public has advantages. You have to admit that this is a very transparent negotiation.

If it's too big to include in a script tag, you don't need it. At least, that's my rule.

Yes, but you can still ride extremely safely. Motorcycle cops do not get into many accidents, for example.

by rpmisms 2y ago

I'm firmly Gen Z and love email. Messaging is great, but emails have a formality that is infuriating for casual conversation, but works really well for anything important or weighty.
