I don't know nor have I heard of a single couple factoring the environmental impact of having a child into their decision.

Firefox (at least for me) does the same thing and pushes search results before websites. I have to arrow or tab down 4-5 selections before I get to the first website result in the url/search bar.

Is there any way to essentially lock the touchbar in a fixed configuration? Like I'm a programmer and willing to write a mac native app if that's what I have to do, but I want the same set of things there and I don't want oth

Bitch about it for 10 years while aggressively saving and then peace out to live on a farm somewhere cheap.

I’m burnt out, not from stress, but from being “forced” to do a bunch of stuff that I don’t care about with a bunch of other people I don’t really care about for a company I don’t care about, but if I stop at any time the money stops coming

I mean any competitive activity is going to be time consuming. Speedrunning isn't any different.

Wonder if this is a similar situation to the exploding Samsung notes. Faulty battery manufacturing.

They should pay users small amounts of Libra for accurately moderating content. It completely solves the problem and they get to pay their new, more willing, contractors in what basically amounts to monopoly money (in the near term at least

I was getting really excited until I realized you needed the special deck also. Still a pretty cool piece of tech, for sure, and not easy, but ultimately, just a slightly fancier QR code reader, right?

Is there an abundance of competent workers over there? Companies can easily replace people? It just seems like bad economics to fire people for taking a week off, even if they're perceived as lazy in the short term. It is usually a lot

Do you not have to go through the same interviews for contract work, assuming you are programming?

Except in NYC, SF, Seattle, and maybe a few other HCOL metro areas. HOA fees usually make it a losing financial proposition even on an infinite timeline. There is literally (and not figuratively) no benefit, financial or otherwise, to buyin

TBH, OP sounds like a manager. Which is fine, but their experience is usually constantly worrying people under them will work more slowly when given more freedom. So, since their job is contingent on the people under them doing a good job,

I got to say, I disagree with nearly every point here. Taps on the shoulder are the worst, anonymous cubical farms would be way better than the current situation (all open offices), skype/zoom/etc. are all immediately available fo

Ah, wonder if this is affecting Google's SSO. It was super slow when I was trying it just now.

Thanks for your insight. I was actually eyeing the "space systems engineering" degrees. If I did ever make a move I'd probably want to transition from the individual contributor software engineer to something higher level (li

Anyone know if there are any well paying jobs in space programs of any kind? I've been seeing a growing number of reputable universities offering a wider range of space / aerospace / engineering offerings* and I've been

I realize you're just being argumentative, but whatever. As a programmer you should definitely be avoiding micro improvements until you absolutely need them. Premature optimization is the root of all evil. No sense in wasting developme

I'm the user of the language, and JS is a bad user experience.

Is there any reason bigger new sites don't just run ads like their paper counterparts? Sell sections of the site directly B2B. The business provides a static image, and the website shows that image for some amount of time for some pred

Plenty of people would sacrifice 10 years of their life for private jet type money. The problem is there is no guarantee that putting in the time and effort will result in that kind of money. It will probably at least equal decent money, bu

Curious, are these pilot programs sending the trucks out completely driverless? Or are there going to be humans in the "cockpit" sort of managing things and taking occasional naps?

Most decisions aren't A or B, they're I want A, but B is much safer/easier/etc. So the coin flip method (you'll make up your mind while it is in the air) doesn't help since you already know what you want. Pros

If you raise money through an IPO, do you have any fiduciary responsibility to raise shareholder value? Or can you just fuck off with the money legally?
