The ability to have the one app running which contains multiple file system views that I can arrange internally is awesome. It can certainly help with the cognitive overload that sometimes is my alt tab navigation. This is called a multip

Yet we spend trillions on stuff like this any justify it with bellicose rhetoric and it seems like the only people benefiting from it are people selling it. And the people who work at those military/government contractors. In some s

It's a frivolous and simple example to show the underlying impact of not understanding the context of a hypothetical feature request. Yes, it is a contrived example, that's my point. But it's not the programmer that didn&#x

Yeah, but this is a bad example of that. It's not that the last day of the month is an ill-suited requirement, it's that, in the example, the programmer who wrote the code for the end of the month did more work and wrote more err

I saw footage of a gazelle being hunted by a cheetah. My reflexive thought is -- how unimaginably horrible. Here is an animal which is evolved specifically to avoid your attempts to eat it. And every moment you spend trying to live is a mom

Consider that maybe happiness isn't about "personal happiness". If all that one needs to be happy is to not have stress, why question that and desire more? By questioning it, you're undermining the happiness. The goal

If you are concerned about the impact of firing an employee with other financial responsibilities (not sure why specifically having young children factors into it anymore than any other responsibility), that is solved with a severance packa

Not firing quickly means you fire slow. Which means the person who should be let go continues to stick around and potentially cause problems for the rest of the people. This can be just as sad, if not more so, for the other employees who a

it's amazing to me that Google is able to get the whole world to do unpaid menial work for them by offering a free product to website owners. I'm surprised, since google bought youtube in 2006, that google doesn't let peopl

Many moons ago, support for TCP wrappers was removed from systemd -- and, a bit later, OpenSSH, IIRC. connection filtering should be done in network level or completely in application scope if it makes sense. So it was done at the appli

I am not sure why you imply that there was some evil scheme behind all this. He didn't imply or say there was some evil scheme, and this reads like an attempt to play the victim card on your part. If no one uses the functionality is
