I just checked and I have 300+, yet from checking purchase history I haven't really spent that much on Steam at all. Apart from Cyberpunk I never paid much for anything. As others have mentioned, for me it's also mostly Humble Bun

There is zero irony for anyone not engaged in black and white thinking, Mr Gotcha. OP is talking about very specific kinds of opinions here, not forum posts. Other than that, a librarian often has to talk out loud in order to tell people to

The trick for remembering those things is debriefing with other devs and then documenting. And then keep talking about it. I don't do mind blowing stuff like Carmack but: just yesterday I came across a bug that helps supporting my thes

And both of those philosophies will lead to bad engineering. There are things that work better, are safer and simpler to do on the database, and things that work better, are safer and simpler in code. And those things might change depending

This is one of those absolute statements that cause the kind of problem stated by grandparent. There are lots of those: "Use Postgres for everything", "No business data on the DB", "No methods bigger than 10 lines&q

You just repeated my example. GP was talking about software. Even you are. As I already said, Civil Engineers have responsibilities either because of regulation and professional guilds, not because they just "want to elevate the profes

The day landlords start accepting "integrity" and "elevating the profession" as payment for the rent is the day that engineers will do what you're saying. The only way to make this kind of thing work is by threateni

The argument here is that we should shouldn't isolate engineers and dismiss them mere thing-doers. Having someone to discuss the business with engineers is important, that's clearly not the thing being criticised here.

Having worked in both situations (product person vs no product person), this reads like fiction to me. Most PMs I worked were nowhere near being able to guide anyone, especially on B2B domains. I had to train a lot of them just to do basic

Correct. It's "one sound" represented by two letters, but not always the same sound in different words.

You're joking, but working in finance I witnessed the misuse of AWS Batch + AWS ECS to do something similar. Not gonna dox the company, but it was a German fintech unicorn. It wasn't exactly for serving the response of the request

This is also a much better way of handling the problem than OP's blunder on the article. Berating in an office might teach one person. Not berating and admitting process failure in public can be educational for the whole company. Remin

That's the rationale, but most of the firings of fast food workers I've seen are not related to hygiene but rather due to scheduling and attendance issues. And very often because of management lack of planning.

I've also seen this exact thing happening about 15 years ago. Second largest private university of my state, 30000 students. They cut 5 software development positions that were halfway on their rewrite, then purchased a blank slate ERP

Oh, definitely. I'm not saying there's no police checks, I'm just saying according to the police officer it was ok to not have with me at all times and leave at home. Also, when I was outside of the city I live I would bring

Something being into law doesn't change reality. It is abduction even if the Pope and the Queen sign on it, period. Remember not everyone in the planet is American, this is like quoting North Korean law to justify some random atrocity.

I’m a latino in Germany of all places and for years I didn’t carry any identification because the only one I had was my passport, the german work permit was just a sticker in one of the pages. I am obviously not gonna risk losing my passpor

Arrest my ass. If they don’t mirandize, give you a phone call and immediate and consistent access to a lawyer, then it’s abduction.

I didn't say or imply that you suggested otherwise, I was merely making a statement. > No-one's saying you don't have a right to an opinion Someone said to me “Who are you to claim that my consumer desires are irrelevan

Indeed. Google is notorious for ignoring browser language preferences not only in Youtube but also in its main product, and inferring from the (often faulty) geolocation.

Also depends on legislation. If the government says "fuck you" to the construction company, it has to comply.

Apple is forcing companies and users to use this infrastructure, so this is indeed Apple piggybacking and putting its hands where it shouldn't.

This phrasing is not the good representation of what I mean at all. And the fact that people have iPhones doesn't invalidate my assertion, also it doesn't affect my right to an opinion.

> What right does a company have to piggyback off of another company? Apple has no right to piggybacking off of another company's business. Therefore the 30% must go.

Same. Considering the Mac is my work device, it's not even out of principle but purely because it would be a useless brick.

Because I have other interests and preferences when purchasing a device.

You're right. I wish to take this away from you. To me this is completely fine, morally, philosophically and legally, and a lot of people seem to agree with me.

No. I prefer to contribute to companies and causes trying to make Apple to be forced to open up. I am 100% ok with limiting your choice. And if the argument has become about security, as others have said, Jailbreak has repeatedly relied on

Since Walmart keeps popping up in other comments, I'll do devil's advocate using the exact same argument other people used: If you don't want to buy on Walmart and their custom payment system, then just go to a competitor. Wi
