Even if our Norwegian right wing is pretty much more to the left than your left wing, our left wing behaves in exactly the same way here. Their last campaign was pretty much "if you choose them, the world will end", instead of try

After Brexit, the smugness continued. Remain supporters took the campaign for a revote that got millions of signatures as a sign people were regretting, but obviously the signatures mostly were from people who had voted to remain. Still, &q

Couldn't a new API be added where web apps can subscribe to critical battery level warning events? Would be a lot less useful for tracking, but still serve the purpose intended for the original API. Probably already on the way.

It's almost surreal reading this. I've been mostly out of the gaming scene for years, just sporadically playing some Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. I just recently got a gift card and bought myself the PS4. Got No Man's Sk

I like how you just appended an entire country to that list of cities =)

Norway is one of the major beta markets and full of early adopters. Though some of the companies among them likely just want to be one of the cool kids.

Probably, but in reality it's either used as an opportunity for upper management to pat themselves on the back in front of all the employees, or to ask everyone to "walk the extra mile" (for the nth time) because business is

I would leave any company with singalong sessions. shudder

I second that. Also, we don't all have perfect lives. Sometimes an escape (TV, getting high, whatever) is the best use of our time to stay somewhat sane.

Then again, we act like straight people a lot.

True, but you'll still not be completely integrated on a social level until you speak the native language.

Nice tool, and can produce archive directly to Dropbox (or Drive, or OneDrive). Now, if they only could add a periodic option...

They closed his email-account too, though? It has never occurred to me to backup my entire Gmail archive. Should probably look into that now...

The cynic in me is divided on the issue. There are certainly trolls out there who could conjure such a story just for the heck of it, but I also believe there are people out there who would do this for real. Also, some companies don't

As a male who hates sports, I can relate. However, it has nothing to do with gender. The inappropriate touching in car event was more worrying, I think.

As a programmer and nerd (who happens to be male but it's not really relevant in this context) I can relate to the expectations of career advancement meaning moving into management and away from the joys of diving deep into the technic

After reading that, the world is now cyan. Thanks.

The Left's response is to call anyone from a mildly concerned citizen to a full out racist the same thing. That was probably very rightist of me, but I'm currently very frustrated at the level of the debate here in Europe. Even le

I don't disagree, but your last point is rather misleading as Java on Github also includes pretty much all Android projects.

Today we have a huge generic image with one-three words not really stating much and sometimes an indication that you need to start scrolling to actually read something. Or was that last year.

My understanding is that publishers can put their own ads in the instant articles, too. Unless that possibility is revoked, they still get ad views per article view.

There's a fine line between "safe space" and "echo chamber", then.

I guess, as a person not in the SV sphere, I don't really agree. Maybe I missed the implied SV context.

Getting that close to all my coworkers would be too daunting a task. Edit: Not to belittle your son's wisdom, of course. I totally agree.

So all interviewers are male, white upper-middle-class with a fondness for beer? Good to know.

Being friends with colleagues can lead to less enjoyable work situations, not to mention less focused work. Being friendly should suffice, not all of us want to get too personal with the same people we might need to have professional argume

I guess my current strategy for handling social dynamics (as an introvert) is not doing me any favours. I usually get quite close (in a professional context) to 1-3 co-workers and have most of my interaction at work with them. All others I

Thanks a lot for elaborating. I suspect I need to get over my social challenges to make something like this work. And probably move (or travel more) to places where these gatherings actually happen. I live in a "technological desert&qu

It may be obvious (i.e. general networking effects), but what dynamic let c) give you work and freedom? Please elaborate. As a coder who really dread interacting with people (especially non-technical people) in the context of work, I'd
