That certainly seems to be the implication of the original article. I guess it's up to the legal process to decide if he did or not.

Huh, pulling it out the unit tests is a pretty good idea actually - if the test coverage is good enough it might be worth a bit of investigation. Especially since it'd be an optional build step you'd only want to run infrequently.

Oh dynamically setting class isn't silly, but the times i accidentally removed the 'unused' style because it's not explicitly coded into that app and was flagged by the tool, I felt pretty silly! I got as far as starting

Have used tools like this before, and invariably end up accidentally stripping styles from an <insert JS UI lib> component with a dynamically assigned className or something equally silly. It's such a hard problem to solve and t

I'd always assumed they spent a large amount of their time sifting through Fake Leaks from well-meaning cranks, internet trolls and various agencies trying to poison the well, looking for stuff they could corroborate to some degree. I

There is usually an audio version available, presumably screen readers are pre-configured to present the audio option on popular captchas by default. I'm curious now, will have to give it a whirl when I get into the office :D Suspect G

Horrible title aside, it's actually a fairly reasonable point, but feels like a missed opportunity to write something more compelling about trading business-speak for empathy.

Not the same brand vacuum, but we have more animals than strictly necessary, and until I'd tried a Miele hover I didn't fully appreciate how terrible most vacuum cleaners are.

I've been using Sport5 Automatics as general beaters for years, they're generally just nice little uncomplicated watches. They tend to drift a little, but it's no hardship to +- a minute or two once a week.

It's a limited data set, granted, but we're discussing the ad and it's creators. Mostly without having seen the ad itself, and nobody has slated the company for revelling in throwing money at projects firmly straddling the ir

Fair point, I guess the specialism aspect would boil down to being really good, or having domain knowledge of similar products. The latter being easier to demonstrate, not sure quite how you'd convince the govt that Candidate X is a su

I was under the impression that an L1 or L2 currently required a candidate to have "specialist knowledge" that a company wouldn't be able to recruit domestically anyway? I could be misunderstanding, but isn't this just b

Distasteful perhaps but I think their comment was almost certainty satirical, and referencing the ludicrous nature of a 'kill box' having existed as a doctrine, rather than simply being grossly insensitive for the sake of it.

Running off the cognative services APIs I guess? Already well-known, but for anybody who hasn't seen them and is interested in playing with this sort of thing on the cheap, Microsoft have free (rate limited) rest APIs available if you

Because (if I'm remembering the article correctly, am working from volatile memory and not gone back over it, so apologies if I've overcooked this) it's not phrased as particularly constructive criticism, it basically just hi

As a non-scientist this sounds pretty huge to me, but what actually are these new elements? The article doesn't elaborate. They're all in a similar numeric range, but are these entirely new elements, or other elements recategor

Super simple answer, so apologies if it sounds condescending or I've glossed over aspects entirely. Libs like vue & react are essentially ui renderers, they create the html representation of app state, and handle all the DOM event

You could try to use the cannon fodder account to Plex your main for Special Occasions, I guess. It was never very hard to make Plex money with a full account, but it's been a while since I played.

Why should we care about your thoughts on a physicist's thinkpiece about cities? Because it's all discourse, and it's sometimes interesting to read other people's thoughts, or view something through a different lens.
