In the meantime we have Lyft and Uber. I don't think we need fully autonomous vehicles to want to eliminate the need to own a vehicle that needs to be housed and stored for 95% of it's lifetime. Waiting for an L4 transport service

I tend to agree. While I find it painful to hear criticism when I inadvertently use words or phrases that are taken hurtfully, I nevertheless would prefer to be offered a wider perspective about how my words and actions are viewed so I can

"you all" or "youse" can work as reasonable alternatives. I haven't tried "tons" since I've never actually heard it "used in anger." One less fraught, but equally confusing terms are "a

To be fair, I see plenty of folks in open office settings that DGAF about that and looks at memes or YouTube or Reddit on 30" monitors visible to any passers by.

I've seen it go both ways. Definitely agreed that it's a human process and it can be gamed a bit. There are (or had been in the past) some checks on that with secondary committees that re-reviewed primary committee results (not

There were lots of states with similar problems in the 70s. Others solved it better (e.g., NY Star program that helps specific classes of people that need help). Prop 13 was a chainsaw solution to something that needed a scalpel.

As a kid, we ate at Ponderosa quite often. All you can eat soft serve. Though I recall putting some chunked (presumably canned) pineapple on my plate once, taking it back to my table, and chomping into it before realizing it had (apparently

Could be that the plans or companies offering coverage in her region have changed from year to year? While I wouldn't call this being "dropped" others might. Another possibility could be due to fraudulence during the applicat

IIRC, doordash used to provide a live map a couple years back. I'm guessing they have all the data and could share it again if they desired. Presumably they have some product reason for not offering it.

Check out the graph here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-05/waging-am... Yeah, they rank on the list, but they're pretty far behind.

Also, SMS is not guaranteed to reach the recipient in any reasonable timeframe. Also, if they're supporting desktop clients I again call shenanigans on your argument.

Mobile web is an edge case, too. Shenanigans!

I call shenanigans for two reasons: 1) you can never assume a recipient ever has their phone on, with them and in a non-silent mode 2) users can disable push notifications for individual apps anyway

While I broadly disagree with the OP, I don't think this critique resonates. The OP argues for more communication and collaboration throughout the day: Don't wait for the standup if you're blocking. Share status information i

The FSF is not a court of law. As such, their opinion on the interpretation of the license has no particular standing. It's helpful that they're the author of the license, and if it came down to it in court, it may be persuasive.

Hah. I like how the author pluralized "targets'" while keeping all the other facts intact.

My only problem is that it's marked "fixed." I'd rather the bug be OBSOLETE or WONTFIX (I guess LP's closest status to those is "Invalid" which is fine, too). That would short circuit most of the arguments about the fact that the desired ac

Though to be fair, those that are interested in it probably already have it. I'd rather see a post about a concrete alternative than a direct link to some special offer. I guess you're arguing that the upvotes are coming from happy users th

If I haven't made any progress since the last day, I just talk about what I plan to do for the upcoming day. I also might say "I'm still working on (the thing I was working on yesterday)". With a well functioning, trusting team that should

I think there's a stigma attached to the notion of the status meeting. Beyond that, at least to me, a status meeting is a kind of assymetric situation where one person with some kind of authority (manager, PM, ...) is trying to keep tabs on

Guava's Hints.tryParse is about as good as it can get in Java... Maybe it could return an Optional instead of a nullable boxed type, but the calling code wouldn't be much different.
