I wonder if something is getting lost in translation. With no particular order: Hearing the word ideation would cause an allergic in people who are sensitive against Americanisms. British are also notorius for their indirect way of expressi

Multiple layers of creolization is the most likely explanation of common grammatic features and distinct vocabularies. There's a language called Gagauz, spoken in Moldova. It has a Turkic vocabulary and Indo-European grammar. It was, i

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those states have laws for unfair dismissal as well. Companies develop an internal process to cover their backs for such eventualities. Running that process to the end is the costly bit.

I suspect, genarating components from designs is a pain point for narrow subsection of companies which use React. I also suspect those which have this problem are not in a place to pay. Startups with limited runways, agencies with shoestrin

Are you maybe thinking about cranksets? All it takes to remove a pedal from the crank is an adjustable spanner.

by hcho 5y ago
Or just remove the pedals and tape one of the cranks to the chain stay so they don't spin and catch the trousers. Did this with my daughter's bike and it held up fine for the month she pootled on it until she was ready to pedal.

I switch between toe clips(for commuting) and cleats(for longer rides) at least once a month. Why would you need to handle the chain? Pedals are attached to cranks.

Eh? They are bolted on with screws and get regulary replaced. It's not any difficult than removing training wheels.

That would still tell me something about the candidate. That they don't double check their assumptions is not a great sign. For the record I always encourage candidates to start with the simplest solution and tell them we can then chat

I would not call adding two binary numbers algorithmic. Having candidates write code is always a good filter. You'd be surprised by the amount of people who can't write a nested loop with a decade of experience under their belt.

Mespilon is the original Greek name, which made its way to Latin too. It might be sounding alien to you because of the sound changes.

They would be beholden to political machinations which get them elected and not do a very good job at it. There are a lot of things with HoL but being unelected is not one of them.

None of the cars I owned had this. I hadn't fiddled with the rented cars keys so those might have had it.

None of the cars I have driven in the last decade had physical keys. Owned a Nissan, Mercedes and Toyota, rented various BMWs, Peugeots etc...

Are they not making British Empire shows?

And yet British have James Dyson, Richard Branson and so on... Old money vs new miney strife is an age old thing and I can assure you none of the tech barons is rubbing shoulders with former barons let alone American gentry.
