Not every part of the world looks down on mild use of profanity, or even has the same concept of mild or not mild profanity. If you think using the f-word in professional communication makes it unprofessional, do I have decades of stories t

This could have been written and 2014 and 2004 (hi, it's me). There will always be people who don't use it and others who won't remember a time when they hadn't used it :P

I suppose you've heard this argument a lot, so the short version: Can't compensate people in many countries, and probably some other legal problems when they are still employed, so what are they supposed to do? Take a vacation day

I think there's a huge gap between "if you allow 10 packs and the person brings 20" and actual smuggling. The former is probably technically that, but I doubt many people were caught for those numbers, or it's their ow

Not "impolite", but when we had a company weekend in the bordering Czech republic there were definitely people importing 10x10 packs by asking non-smokers to hold some for the border crossing.

MongoDB's biggest feat is marketing. Recovering from people comparing your database with a black hole is... something.

I was about to post "is that correct with only the original having a full-size SD slot?" but apparently the only RPi I ever owned was a 1 model B and not a 3. That would explain why I found it to be a bit slow when I last used it

I think "offended" is a bit much in many occasions, but it's certainly a type of racial profiling. It simply doesn't happen in places where your class or group of friends or coworkers are not all white, because you know

The real eye-opener for me were that my kinda knobby MTB tires apparently have nearly the exact rolling resistance as my Schwalbe Marathon Plus on the Gravel Bike. So although they're a lot thinner, nothing is gained here at all. (If y

If you look at the tires (let's ignore road bikes for now) the vast majority is between 15ish and 28ish Watts (I usually look at Gravel and MTB tires). Then look at the methodology: > The total rolling resistance of an average rider

Yeah sure, but naively I'd still assume "tips for pizza delivery people" would be a much better indicator as it would be a much broader target audience. Then again, maybe it's too mundane again and with the tipping cultu

Surely it would be no problem to give developers a second machine for the testing period, so they could work with that one every day and if it breaks, the stable one is just one git checkout away... But no, I've actually never seen t

As I have no idea what percentage of people frequent strip clubs, I'm mostly wondering if the sample size (and especially the demographic) is big enough to even be representative of anything. Then again I'm not from the US and not

I suppose you're trying to answer in good faith, but -to me at least- the problem is that XMPP has always worked beautifully for single-server deployments (or let's say, single organization), i.e. when a game company does their in

The only things they have in common is that they are easy to use and somewhat uniquitous. But then again you use shell because it works _everywhere_ and that is not true for PHP. PHP is evolving and unless you take some really old code and

low-skill sounds much more negative than "not complicated enough to constantly fail" :P After so many sightings of bespoke build tooling I kinda miss this part the most.

That is weird. I started in 2003 and we absolutely had SVN provided by the department... at latest by 2005ish, maybe even 2003, or it was CVS. I can only say this for sure because of one course where we actively used it.

I like this conspiracy theory as much as the next person but in fact they moved only around 10-15km south, to be in Munich proper. Yes, I know, that would be irrelevant regarding possible tax breaks or bribes or whatever. But physically it

"recipe for X" is usually just as ill-defined. Yeah, maybe I do prefer slightly larger than average portions but most recipes I find on the internet for 4, are actually for 3. Unless they aren't and it's more like 6. But
