It's an incentive issue. As the average duration of employment at a single company for a manager has decreased, the time preference of a rational manager has changed to fit. The guy who made that decision will write on his resume that

That's not true. The Java community in general has known about this for many years, and using Java's `Optional` type for anything nullable has been considered best practice. The reason the language itself has moved slowly is that

"Why do you want to work for us ?" is an open-ended question. It doesn't demand passion. "I feel like I have a strong existing knowledge of the sort of work that's done here which would make this role a pleasant fi

What? Some guy making a vague statement on a web forum with nothing concrete to back it is "direct, irrefutable evidence"? I'd like to see any evidence at all that any SCOTUS judge is actually profiting from this decision in

The difference is that an LLM isn't very good at saying "I'm a fucking idiot" and changing it when asked to double-check (unless you handhold it in the direction of the exact error it's meant to be looking for). Hum

It doesn't seem like you'd need "shenanigans" for this. Lots of voice actors are capable of doing voices that sound like other people, and some even have a natural voice that happens to sound very similar to a particular

The government is the actor. Do you think that corporate lobbying gives corporations the right to write their own laws, or something? Lobbying is paying someone to speak to a government representative. Every government representative has th

The idea that I might eventually become disabled still doesn't make it an essential feature. Disabled users are not a significant portion of the userbase of most software. Accessibility is an essential feature for a text editor in the

While I agree, the negative effect with letting it slide after X years would be that you're removing a lot of downside from the risk-benefit analysis of every prospective criminal. Fraud is already pretty easy to get away with. If ther

If you were messing around with a gun that had the safety on, and the gun malfunctioned and shot a child while you were waving it around, would it be a valid defense to say that you took all the necessary precautions (since the safety was o

I don't see where you're getting the impression that 1,000 workers are monitoring every single individual that walks into the store. The figure used was the total amount for the whole program (many locations), only one person was

The flaw in your analogy is that the modal consumer cares about hidden fees, wants to be made aware of them, and might even make a different decision with that knowledge. The modal consumer does not care about cookies. Imagine you walk into

This seems like a very "um, akshuallyyy" response. There IS a cookie banner law. If the law says, "You must do X before doing Y," and you know that everyone is still going to do Y, you've effectively mandated X. The

It would probably be relevant that Mercer doesn't ever say, "Don't hire anyone for this position if you can't get someone willing to do it for the market price." (I'm assuming they don't.) You can advise p

You can read the 20 lines of JS that they use. It's for drawing the parallax lines in the background and for the fade-in effect, which can't be accomplished with plain CSS. There's no detriment to SEO or to accessibility, unl
