I can say what not to do: never do something to undermine or expose your boss no matter how incompetent he is. Personally I let my boss take all credit for my work (not really, just make everything I can in order to get him promoted). When

My personal pet peeve is the confusing paste buffer(s). On macs it is always ⌘+C and ⌘+V. On linux it may be CTRL+INS and Shift+INS, CTRL+C and CTRL+V, mouse-select and middle-button click and so on.

Personally I would keep windows and just run linux using the Windows Sub System for Linux. At home I have a macbook pro but at work I run Windows10 + Ubuntu@WSSL and it makes for a quite decent developer workstation - 90% of the time I&#x27

We can do things like installing Ubuntu directly from the Windows Store - even if you despise MS you must concede they are changing for better.

I don't know any problem where blockchains are the best solution - it is possible there are some, I don't know. I'm just talking about the very inflated social/political expectations, the "blockchain will change eve

The difference between Blockchain advocates and the thieves from the tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" is that the weavers from the tale knew they were bullshitting the king. Sadly blockchains will not revolutionize mankind.

Django templates also have such a clause but it is named "empty" instead of "else".

If you just want to know what language was used to write this, I can spare you the visit to github: it is go.

You can opt-out from your government by moving to another country - you have more choice than you have on mobile where there is only Google or Apple... :-)

So are you arguing that this behavior is acceptable from private companies but not from governments? You can't argue both 1) companies are allowed to do anything they want and 2) they can grow unlimited monopolies. If you do, sooner or

Yes, changing to another cloud provider may be less annoying than moving to another country but for how long it will be the case?

Sure. Let's go ahead and turn the world into a Kafkaesque nightmare where you are prosecuted but has no right to know why. Justice system is perfect so if the man says you are guilty it's because you are. /S

Yes! The most effective treatment is behavioral therapy and the results are better if started early. At young age the brain is very plastic and for light cases you can teach all the things that are innate to neurotypical kids.

Dude, I don't. My 5 year old son is in the spectrum and I probably would be diagnosed as well by todays standard. We are lucky enough to be on the high-functional end of the spectrum but it is still taxing on the family. I can't p
