Does HTTP/2 have support for parallel uploads? As an end-user if I happen to select 1 huge file first, followed by a bunch of tiny files, having to wait for the entire huge file to be streamed to the server before it even knows about a

I didn't make such a claim in general, only that it's not so hard to see how there can be such cases. Generally I'm skeptical that it makes long term business sense to either underpay or disrespect workers.

Do you have as an example of where applying dark coloured make-up to anyone of a European background to make them look exotic/foreign doesn't also look completely ridiculous (and inevitably somewhat insulting)? And yes I'd in

Does the work really suck though? I've always been a bit envious of how much tradies seem to enjoy their jobs, even if personally the idea of dealing with sewage issues or climbing/reaching into impossibly small spaces and dealing

I don't assume my colleagues will always make "reasonable" choices and furthermore correctly express those choices into code any more than I will myself! In fact perhaps most of the issues I find in PRs are after reviewing my

I don't think anyone would argue that having the resources of large corporation gives the average worker capacity to be significantly more economically productive than they would be working for themselves - meaning there's fairly

I'd definitely accept there is content that some 9-14yos wouldn't have the necessary mental or emotional development to deal well with, and that risks negatively impacting their mental health and turning them towards troublesome b

Sure, but it's hard to imagine he doesn't risk losing at least some of his existing employees if there are plenty of other options out there offering considerably more pay. And then be forced into taking on new employees at a cons

Curious...why are his 100 man crew sticking with him if they're currently getting well under market rate?

I'm in a townhouse 4k from the centre of one of the big 3 CBDs and can't say I've ever had a problem with inconsiderate neighbours, though it's definitely possible to hear them through the walls from time to time. As for

Except of course we can't know for sure the anecdote was an example of LSD causing visual snow, the drug might have been spiked or it could've just been a coincidence... Anecdotes are at best a clue that there's more research

For one thing it's possible you've only seen lessons in which you're choosing the right answer from a list. If all you can do is that, you almost certainly won't recall them all without that assistance.

Ah, that must be why all the industry-funded lobby groups publish papers about how terrible climate change is going to be.

And yet if you took any significant time period that doesn't include the Breivik shooting Norway's results are just fine. I'd even think if you looked at the last 50 or 75 years (assuming we have good enough data) they'd

What's that as a fraction of median income? A brief search seems to suggest it's on the high side, over 40% at any rate.

It's hard to think of any way in which that statistic is actually meaningful. I don't think anybody would reasonably argue based on a single event that the average Norwegian is more at risk of death via mass shooting compared to t

Fossil fuel corporations will have to "conspire" to reduce production though, unless they can conspire to come up with some way of extracting said fuels and allowing them to be used without the release of carbon emissions into t

You can't ignore the reality that even many streams of Christianity regularly insisted on certain perfectly natural behaviours being "sinful" and worthy of eternal punishment in hell. That surely must have had some effect on

Many religions make a far stronger moral argument about our failures as individuals, and yet arguably have far less influence over young minds than they have in the past. I can't say I've seen any evidence that teenagers (includin

"The toilet - where would I find it?" But arguably putting the key information at the start of a sentence is not ideal as it gives the listener no time to context switch. If I ask a busy waiter in a restaurant "where would I

I, for one, would see it as a massive failure of our justice system if we had good evidence that an individual had committed heinous crimes, but then was still allowed to live out the remainder of his life in peace, freedom, and enjoying th

Still no explicit support for enums... best thing about Postgres in the brief period I used it was that. Looking at tables full of integer values and trying to remember what each mean does everyone's head in IME.

Why is requiring javascript an accessibility issue? Whether fully rendering the page requires client-side script execution really shouldn't affect whether the resulting DOM can be presented to users with various accessibility needs. OT
