I've worked at one of the big Bay Area software companies with a guy who wore a suit every day. If I wore one at my current (non-US) company, people might ask me about it for a few days, but I'm pretty sure it'd become the ne

For some agencies, it's not so much that the CEO might be an asshole (whether or not the president is an asshole is a fairly minor detail, IMO, as long as he can do the job). This is more like a pharmacologist working at a company maki

It's a sequence of Unicode characters that's supposed to render as the Welsh flag. The first character U+1F3F4 BLACK FLAG seems to be missing (at least when I copy and paste it); that's followed by "tag letters" fro

-f specifies a format, so it can't use the specialized itoa implementation, but probably just uses printf.

I disagree. A year is a long time, and a valuable, difficult achievement in February may raise your prestige for a while, but by December that's faded to background levels. I even forget my own achievements from nine months ago, neve

To clarify for non-Eurozoners: SEPA is the Single European Payment Area. All bank transfers denominated in euros within the EU, EEA, San Marino and Monaco must cost the same regardless of destination bank or country. In the eurozone that co

Wider sentence spacing certainly predates the typewriter, but the question then was not "how many spaces" but "how much space". Someone writing by hand obviously does not count a discrete number of spaces, and a cold-met

What requires that they play with all the toys in an hour? A kid with 16 toys can play with each of them for 30 minutes at a time; a kid with 4 toys can play with each of them for 15 minutes at a time. "Length of session" != &quot

Sure, but I'd rather have a stomach tumor removed by the surgeon who'd performed twenty custom-tailored stomach tumor removals in the last year than the one who'd done one. My opthalmologist used to do LASIK as part of her re

Those are exactly the "grammar checkers" and "pedantic pamphlets" that I referred to (Grammarly is literally a grammar checker). Why should we consider them right and Brontë, Dickens and Melville, and their editors, wron

Half of all floating-point values are between -1 and 1. Half of the remaining values have magnitude between 1 and 2. And so on... If we represent positions in kilometers, and we're talking about a solar system with radius on the order

Notebooks. They're surprisingly easy to search: if you use them a lot you'll notice that you often remember exactly which page a certain note appears on. You can also help by always starting a new note on a new right-hand page, an

Yesterday was the 500th anniversary of a previous fork. Presumably forking nowadays wouldn't lead to another Thirty Years' War. It's usually called a schism rather than a fork.
