The hate comes from little inaccuracies that have caused hours of stress and confusion. It is probably not as bad now but I recall getting pretty frustrated after spending hours debugging only to find out the docs were wrong.

I thought they had a ton of debt, largely for their new offices? Did that change?

Unless you just don't shower and/or shave. I work from home. I don't need effort and products to look like I just woke up.

If someone barfs in the taxi (which I think is quite common tbh) it may not be visible to the camera even if they wipe it up. In either case, that car still smells like barf until it is really cleaned. Pretty sure if I got in a car that w

Look at the cost a different way: your data is clearly important and you just saved having to hire an ops person to help manage it part-time. I get that this isn't reality though. Once you provision something the amount of maintenance

Probably about 100ms or more on each request (to and from). Slower depending on location and network conditions.

I'm convinced this is how some of the payment gateways make their money. With one gateway after we switched providers and took the interface out of production we received about 5 fraudulant payments in the month that followed. Someone

A credit card is insured. I am not sure I can say the same about the mandatory connction between Paypal and my bank account. It is much riskier to use Paypal than to give a stranger your cc number.

It isn't the answer you're looking for but it is all that comes to mind: Drudge.

They're too busy changing the icons and adding border-radius to everything. Don't you know it took them 6 weeks to change the star button into a heart? They are very proud of it! /s

So the feature is explicitly for security? Security feature. It is security for the user, not for the server. It is still security.

The icing on the cake is that engineers cost more than support reps. Sure the bot can "scale" but in a lot of cases I wonder if they are really saving by having a team of engineers who cost so much more than phone agents.

The worst part is the banner advertises features that I absolutely do not want.

If you can learn a programming language you can learn to say bonjour and order a meal in French. I know, I have done this.

You don't hear about senior-level jobs for $80,000 in major US markets though. In Canada they are quite common (and realistically only worth about 60,000 USD). I work remotely and I've been priced out of my own country. I occasion

Do that in a rental car and the fee doubles again. Cost me $25 to cross a minor bridge to save 2min in the middle of the night.

The author describes walking their children through the house upon becoming the owner and finding two people smoking crack. So yes, it was a crack house. It was also in Parkdale - not exactly one of Toronto's "best" neighborh

I haven't spent much time in NYC but I had never seen people go through the doors as passengers until then. It seemed to be frequent/common too. I've since seen this once in another city and it was pretty clear that it was ou

I now refer to Visual Studio Code as "vsCode" since it seems to be obvious what it is if you know about it.

You would have an NYC-LosAngeles government nearly every time. Clintons for life. The system was designed to avoid the concentration of power you desire.

So the president of a country on a different continent must know all the laws of all other countries in the world? Trump is pretty openly pushing for bilateral trade, this should not surprise anyone. The fact that Germany has other arrangem
