Thankfully, I have never been subjected to one of these when job hunting in Canada, and to the best of my knowledge, no candidates I have interviewed have ever been subjected to one. Of course, my experience is limited to tech companies. An

I was in French immersion for 11 years, took classes in high school and university, and then took a long break from it -- about 10 years -- before I went back to it about 5 years ago. At first it was really hard! But things really got bette

It's easily the most misused feature of Slack. Using @here in a channel is the equivalent of standing on your desk and shouting at everyone around you. So what happens is, like you, everyone starts muting it. And then you just have peo

Does anyone really believe that FB wants to figure out what went wrong? For some reason, I imagine it playing out like the "Top Men" scene from Indiana Jones.

I like that figure you made! Though shouldn't the whole 1/n fraction be red and not just the numerator?

In theory, or in practice? Developing for the Samsung Gear S2 was one of the most frustrating experiences in my life. Tizen is a trainwreck. There are no games being changed with that platform.

Words like "bruh" and "gainz" send a signal that is probably better off un-sent.

This article really stuck in my craw. Making homeless people into wireless hotspots is such a bad example. It's patronizing at best and dehumanizing at worst. So just because someone gave them $20 doesn't mean it's automatica
