People don’t get friendlier up the food chain. It’s highly likely the line manager is reacting to pressure coming from above themselves.

The claim isn't that the phone is competitive on a feature or spec level to new phones, but that those happy with the old feature set can continue to use them. Of course the battery is a consumable part and you can't expect that t

The Jeopardy thing was pretty brilliant in a sense - wrangling an episode of free advertising from one of the most popular game shows. A memorable episode at that!

Side note, the term “gas fee” is a nice example of how crypto projects pick needlessly obtuse vocabulary. It’s a transaction fee. There’s no “gas” involved. Why call it that? Perhaps I’m jaded but my feeling is that using plain terms would

It's truly amazing that a product with the reach of Lichess can be run so cheaply. Comments here criticizing the hosting costs extremely myopic - dev time isn't free, and doing a rewrite to chase down hosting savings isn't ne

That dramatically increase the logistics problem, it’s not as though the government has a reliable address for where each person would want a test shipped. People who are worried about omicron and can afford $15 per test already have a supp

It's a trade, the consumer exchanges certainty about costs for a higher fixed rate than they'd get otherwise. If the consumer doesn't like that they can get a lower cost variable rate mortgage just as easily.

It’s tiresome to see the DRM argument portrayed over and over again as a moral slam dunk. Anything consequential enough to make an impact is a trade off, with winners and losers. If all the employees listened and there was a universal colla

I’m on my 3rd team at a bigco at the moment. Putting a lot of emphasis on enabling team transfers is the thing that has kept me there. There’s some politics to it, ie one org is losing a lot of people to another, so we aren’t supposed to ac

The hospital strain is caused by staffing shortages, not an overwhelming number of patients. Those staffing shortages are in turn caused by strict quarantines for people who are asymptomatic but test positive. https://www.sfgate.

I rewatched the original recently and that dialogue is not exactly a strong point either. Really devoid of subtly or even the barest hint of humor. A pretty unbelievable amount of exposition, telling rather than showing. I think I looked pa

This kind of discussion is more relevant to inheriting projects than constructing them from scratch. To take an example I’ve inherited several Ruby on Rails apps from novices at big cos. The language takes the perspective that everything

I would add a 3rd flawed notion: that COVID is COVID, all variants are to be avoided at all costs. At this point we've got well established indications of omicron being an unserious infection (sparing the lungs entirely, being no more

If a theory has been labeled as raving mad racism, only those that are comfortable with the cost of that being labelled thus will speak up. I don’t see where the media deserves a pass.
