I'd like to reach out and snatch that last apostrophe from your comment for similar reasons.

Chickens and other fowl, if allowed to free range for a couple of hours a day, will completely solve the problem.

> No guarantees are given, for nothing This is a double negative. Depending on how you interpret the comma, it could mean "guarantees are given for everything." (Pointing this out in case you intend to protect yourself from lia

There's also a misalignment on the sell side. Since the seller's agent gets paid a percentage of the sale price you'd think they're incentivized to sell at the highest price possible. But they don't make any money a

I'm in the US and for years wrote software for the medical industry. I was contracted by a European company to write an app, and of course filled it with disclaimers and extra clicks asking "Are you sure?" When I demoed it, t

Deleting a record causes requests for that record to be negatively cached. The negative cache TTL[1] is often set to 1 day. So, deleting and immediately recreating a record can take your site offline for days. (Source: I made this mistake w

IANAL, but I think she absolutely has a legal case. It costs a lot of money to make a case "go nowhere" even with the slightest validity. The small penis thing doesn't seem relevant here, and even if so, it's a strategy

This is exactly what happens when you optimize for engagement. Usually when I find myself on Reddit, I'm looking for something specific and want to get it as quickly as possible and move on. The increasing level of noise created by &qu

I've used this technique with a label that said "Leave Blank", also hidden with CSS. Seemed to work great, but now I wonder.

I've found the opposite to be true. Several lawyers I've worked with have asked to see what I've started with, perhaps because they're used to people grabbing stuff off the internet. I really like this idea because the h

I also was very confused by the pipe, which renders exactly like an uppercase I for me. [EDIT: oh wait.. it is an I? either way...] Replacing with a hyphen or colon would be a quick fix. Additionally consider bolding the main text and/

Appreciate the optimism. Just to clarify, I'm saying that he has the skill set, the background, the time and the means to pull this off. That combo is extremely rare, and even with all that, there's one thing without which he&#x27

I haven't read this book, but I have read a lot of posts and watched a presentation by the author, Pieter Levels. While he is a nice guy and certainly very interesting, it's my opinion that he suffers from Survivorship Bias[1]. No

This works if you know you're lost, know that someone will be looking for you and aren't too hard to find. Most people who are lost don't meet these criteria. Because she was an experienced hiker, I'm guessing they thoug

One article[1] at least suggests that she wasn't able to start a fire. She had also tried to make fires using the matches and lighters she kept in her backpack. There was a stream near her camp, but it's unclear whether

A long time ago -- before cell phones -- I was a member of a wilderness search and rescue team. Based on the description of where this person was found, I can tell you it's one of the last places we would have gone. Finding lost people

The assumption here is that salary is set by forces beyond the employee's control, and it's either fair or unfair. I would argue that everyone's salary is fair, b/c it's set at what the employee negotiated for. If

True. Docker with a "ton of tooling on top of it" is going to be a VM with versioning, which as discussed, has its own set of issues.

Right -- for the right candidate. I don't buy things without vetting them first; why would I expect someone else to? The suggestion that there is some exact figure out there that you are worth is false binary thinking. There are lots o

There's a problem with asking how much they're willing to pay up front: It's a negotiation and in order to get an actual number, you have to sell yourself first. If you seriously want to know what they're willing to pay,

The article is not an attack of Docker, but the way it's being used by many.

It's an old post, but I really like it because it highlights a problem with almost all online accounts: Confirming the existence of email addresses and usernames in the database.

I just had a conversation with a friend about this. He was leaving a country where haggling is the norm, and he wanted to buy some gifts in a hurry, on the way to the airport. So, he tried to say: "I don't have time to haggle; thi

Maybe it works great from day one, maybe it will need a few more iterations, and possibly with 3.2 we'll improve support for many stuff, but my guess is that Redis 3.0.0 today, in some way, changes what Redis is.

This is relevant. I wonder how many of the people in OP's company suffer from this, and to what degree it's the cause of their behavior. OP should stay put (being the smartest person sucks too) and stop worrying about being though
