Have experience working in teams up to 9 time zones apart, but not working at Zapier. I have phone set up to not disturb me with notifications between 10pm and 7am so I wouldn't mind as long as nobody expects a response before next wor

If you could afford flying on a rocket, I bet you can also afford flying first-class. Would that alter your preference?

Does it need to be? Can only one be wasteful? This sounds very close to whataboutism.

No, what he said is they might average the same as their normal pay check but that doesn't mean that what they earn normally is necessary enough and that overtime is some kind of fun money. What the person you responded to has pointed

I've been around since ~1.5 and have no idea what you are talking about. I suspect our perception is very much coloured by where and whom you are hanging out with. Agree that there was never a shortage of negative articles about py2&#x

I take issue with "The reason for both of these is because delightfulness is part of what you are being paid." Unless you would do your current job even you weren't paid at all, then that is not really true. What we do, is ne

Germany in 1919 was definitely not a totalitarian state. The laws were relaxed in 1928 which was BEFORE nazis came to power.

We are touch typists ;) Seriously though, I don't look at my keyboard and therefore have no idea what is on touchbar at any moment. I am not offended as some by its existence, but I also don't find it useful except touchid bit.

Every example of yours had plenty of external help without which I am doubtful they would have as much success. No idea what your definition of totalitarian state is, but there certainly was not a complete ban on firearms neither in Nazi Ge

OP didn't say there's no difference between wines or violins. Of course there is, but at some point those differences stop being noticeable to most and eventually to everyone. Research shows that at some point the story you are be

I agree with everything except that I don't see those broken connections as a loss. Instead I see them as a signal of a relationship that ran its course. There are plenty of people I have fond memories of and wouldn't mind staying

Why does that even matter? Admittedly people like me have a larger proportion of our wealth pinned down in things like real-estate, but it's not like most of us stuff cash in shoe boxes around house. Once you discount accommodation and

I am a native Slovenian speaker who speaks a bunch of different languages to varying degrees of "speak". I definitely feel each of them changes my personality somewhat in its own way. I assume part of it is due the language used a

I will not argue against your experience. I had my share of problems with iOS (and Android and really any large enough piece of software). Two points though. As someone living in the wrong EU country to sell apps on Play store I am far less

Glib? That's a lot to read into a comment why I don't trust my first impressions. I agree that VR is a different medium and that 3D movies probably aren't, but you lost me at why that should matter. I still don't underst

That may well be true, but your original claim was that we should consider how amazing the experience seems and my point was that based on historical precedence this is not a particularly strong argument. I happen to think that VR will not

I agree with everything except that "even" in the second sentence. It would be more correct without it. Bigger the error, the more difficult it gets (for anyone including media) to admit it.

I was blown away by 3D movies too at first and now don't ever try to see one.

I am guessing you are not an introvert yourself. We certainly cannot opt out of social hierarchy and being one does not mean I want to be alone every waking moment. It does mean however that I like and need to be alone some of the time (alo

Huh? There are still plenty of hunter gatherers around that don't hunt or gather shoulder to shoulder and neither do farmers or shepherds. Communal living did not mean spending all your time in company of others.

Man, this brings back memories. I spent many sleepless nights using it to format friends' school work.

It's competition was PC of that time which was worse in every regard including price. However, it did not have an image of being a game machine which helped a lot. I am old enough to remember having these kind of discussion with people

Generally they are not. Newer ones are within limits set acceptable by emission standards, but those standards don't really model real world use where their performance is generally atrocious. I happen to be (now not very happy) owner

No idea what a general profile of such people is, but I generally buy my wife a new top model every 3-4 years. She couldn't care less about status and neither do I, who inherits them afterwards :) This way the phone is used for 5+ year

It would unless of course you buy brand where that is less of a problem either because they are supported longer (iPhones) or because you can install something like LineageOS.

You obviously did, you just don't like it. Everything in the article was related to the title, but I think your expectations were wrong. Instead of getting a list of things you can do to protect your app from copies, the author goes th
