Wait I'm Belgian and it is basically unheard of that a company cannot answer a customer's message for a month. If it is a small company, then the owner will answer. If it is bigger, holidays will be planned so that no interruption

I found a French manufacturer called wearerewind.com who uses a heavier brass wheel and better clarity. Quite pricey though, as it is to be expected.

What if the interviewer is looking for a true teammate and is put off by your attitude, and thinks you are greedy and selfish, a mercenary? You lose that good job with a test that lumps together the best and the worst actors.

If I remember correctly the rules for minimum inheritance, it’s actually (n-1)/n of the inheritance has to be dedicated to the children, where ‘n’ is the number of children. Each child is entitled to 1/n of that. If I have 5 child

Depends on who you’re asking. My 2012 Thinkpad is on the latest Windows 10. It works very well with its SSD and it is really quiet (new thermal paste). Meanwhile, my 2011 MBA cannot even get GarageBand from the App Store because its OS won’

It’s been at least 13 years that the meaning has changed. Since the introduction of the 13 inch MacBook Pro.

Indeed, but they come from a place where not valuing dying for your country enables millions of civilian deaths and a totalitarian state.

Well the cadre status is is the same way as the exempt. It’s easy to reach the point where you can ‘qualify’ for it, unfortunately.

I respectfully disagree. To me it is a good example of the style of the article reflecting its meaning. To me, the author says that this topic is a welcome relief in a world where every topic is conflictual and complicated. It is the only t

I always wondered why smartphones didn’t register a click as targeting the element that was in-position ~100ms before. That would solve a lot of infuriating mistakes.
