This could have been cut short if Instagram had acted on the author's request, since they went through the effort of giving the passport pictures, and i wonder if Instagram should be partially liable when they just let these scares go

Intentions matter. The 'provided as-is' helps cover the author for unintended behaviors that are a result of some non desired bug. You can't just update your extensively used code to add some ransomware or virus and be let of

My constant dilemma these days is whether to focus more of my young years in new experiences and fun, or if I'll regret it later because I should have invested in a more financial goal. Because the future where I'll see the conseq

Do you shift your work hours, or do you just do overtime? Are you compensated for it? I just feel usual shifts are already long enough for someone to give away their free time on top of it into the same thing.

You're right. However, similar to how EU started requiring all smartphones to have the same connector, I would be nice if all smartphones / tables / "generic media devices" were required to support simple file trans

I have an iPad (my only Apple device right now) and I'm overall happy with it, but: * I can't send a picture from Android to iPad OS when I don't have internet: iPad can't receive images over Bluetooth. * I can't se

At the same time, the interoperability of these devices outside the ecosystem is stupidly useless. Just this year I figured out that I can't send an image without internet from my Android phone to the iPad. I could receive images over

I feel this also represents my situation quite well. Here's personal experience: What worked the best for me to deal with a full-time job and a side project of gamedev (or programming in general) was to move the side project developmen

If Microsoft embedded the GPLv2 terminal into Windows, Windows would have to release as GPLv2 (or compatible license). I assume they don't want that. They can alternatively buy a commercial license, as another user said below.

That offset tax money would be better off spent into electric car research. If the rich want to keep their Ferraris, they can fund the research to make it abiding to the law. This would also preserve jobs if they ever cared. Allowing the 0.

At some point I realized I'm quite bad at engineering skills as well as politics skills required to be promoted at big companies, resulting in significant slower promotions than most people in the company. After some years, I realized

You give as truth that #2 is not 100% morally wrong. I am not so sure, and many other people would also disagree.

I disagree here. I've seen many cases in FAANG of someone being hired at a lower level than they should, just because the company gets away with it, and the hired person still gets better compensation than they were getting before. So

I've been using Krita for some time as a replacement of GIMP. However, I still don't understand how these programs are rather powerful and complete, and yet the text tool sucks in all of them.

If your current job is your would-be hobby, and you still have to work +40h per week, chances are that it can't get better than this. It's just working itself that sucks.
