As a layman (please humour me, I realise this could be a daft question) is failure to report results generally a sign of anything relating to the outcome, or is it equally likely to be something mundane?

I get that you were being deliberately a wee bit provocative, but If you honestly believed that of every manager you had, you would have been a horrible co-worker.

And if the system works sans-ethics, is that a problem beyond moralistic gatekeeping? Since the main objection in the article was the military coopting the practice - The basic tenants of mindfulness, as I understand them, are not anybody&#

That's a disingenuous comparison. How long did they wait before publishing? We don't know, it doesn't matter. Simply stating that they didn't respond had the desired effect, and - as you rightly pointed out - does nothin

Doesn't matter, I suspect - It works within the narrative and implies they have something to hide. It's good /tabloid/ journalism, and poor investigative journalism. Randstad are very much the former.

Depends if the whole industry decides to take advantage of the opportunity to increase prices and blame the cost of oil or not. It's the prisoners' dilemma, but applied to exploiting consumers!

Yeah, the search vs shop tension is the big question. The difference being that Google are ostensibly a search engine, who are looking to monetize and leverage their ubiquity - Amazon are a book store grown to titanic proportions looking to

Is this an advert?

I think their point is simply that "it's their store" - and to be brutally honest, I agree. Two not-entirely-random examples of similar behaviour: Supermarkets place their own brand merchandise where they feel it'll sell

Realistically for companies rolling their own managers, it should be a gradual multi-year process. Initially mentoring less experienced developers, then into running a small team, scaling up the managerial aspects and learning to let go of

My favourite Easter egg: <marquee> still works in Chrome. At least I hope it's an Easter egg, and not left in to provide legacy support ;)

Nestlé signed a deal with them at the beginning of April, according to TheKingOfBelAir's comment above, which would lead me to believe they were at least involved with the study. Link here, to save searching. http://pdf.amaz

I was suprised the degree to which selector performance is a negligible overhead in normal use these days. Was browsing through the docs for some Vue+CSS library or another recently, and the author had done quite a lot of research into this

I'm taking about classes with an enforced 1:1 relationship with a DOM node, via a unique computed className. Since there is no requirement for a cascade for this, you've effectively made an ID out of a class. All the reasons styli

Is a single purpose class still a class? Not in the conventional sense - In CSS' lexicon it's a group of things, right? I've got nothing against the approach - it solves a problem - but it's not how CSS was intended to b

CSS has been a bit of a mess for ages. It never scaled terribly well in its original state, and with every iteration became more bloated, so we came up with methods of controlling the sprawl; but imo glut of Modern CSS Implementations and t

Does the body effectively absorb trace amounts of minerals? Edit. I'm not implying any homeopathy antics, am genuinely curious.

Not taking the beeb at face value, but taking Assange's statements at face value suggests a similar lack of objectiveness.

I've always been a huge fan of sublime, i use it daily as a text editor. It's largely a visual clipboard for me. However as a development environment its lacking. The interface for installing and configuring plugins is needlessly

Van eck radiation though. I use wax tablets for all sensitive communication, and ensure any wax scrapings are incinerated to prevent the wax displacement hash being brute forced.

I dunno, if feels like an invitation to attach contextual meaning to a selection of random phrases. You could present this as a list of things ${profession} should know, and somebody somewhere would find it a refreshing thought experiment.

Its clearly not a practical guide. It was also posted 16 hours ago and sunk without trace, presumably because nobody wanted to say 'this is stupid' incase it was genius and they appeared thick. It is pretty stupid.
