In the EU, we have a legislation that (at least sometimes) actually evaluates things in the context of the world we live in today as opposed to the 18th century. Thus, it can dynamically react and even proact to situations—such as for examp

Doing so online is less taxing than in person, so I don’t think it’s ironic at all.

The good ones will learn whatever tools are necessary for the job. The good companies know this. The HR barrier is admittedly present in a lot of places… the best advice there, probably, is to try to network a little to get in through the s

I’m trying to find a polite way of expressing this, but your sense of affordability and ease of access is… not based in a lot of people’s reality.

Flowdock was (and is) much closer to parity with Slack, and I really wanted to prefer it for various reasons… but Slack just got the UX much closer to where it needed to be. That combined with a few key adopters are what pushed Slack over

I highly doubt it. As I understand it, a traditional space elevator is quite possible to build (we just lack the materials and motivation, chiefly), whereas a perpetual motion machine seems to be ruled out by current understanding of physic

Firstly, if this is a regular occurrence, you have a dysfunctional team. It’s possible that some coaching, retrospectives, and/or tweaks of the overall process of delivery might help. What I do varies based on the situation… but one of

“It seems more likely”… based on what? From the perspective of modern repressed culture? It may indeed require conscious work to look past that. Could be right, could be wrong, but the gp seemed to be dismissing even the possibility out of

Is there something you want to work on? A gps tracker for hiking, maybe? Something simple that’s useful to you. Then stick it up on Github. (Or maybe even better yet, find a project already doing something you want and help.)

It’s a decent summary, but—as someone who was part of the team back when we started the project—the goal of RubySpec was always to be the test suite and specification of the Ruby language, and for the Ruby community. It wasn’t about Rubin
