Stock google maps. It appears from the comment above they can be disabled. My problem with it is that google maps is not open, I did not ask google maps to send me to home depot. It just detects that I'm there and asks for a review.
AirPods are painless in that regard, at least when used with Apple devices.
I had ~22 BTC stolen from my MtGox account in the very early days. I didn't have 2FA enabled - I don't think they even supported it yet - and my password was a combination of dictionary words. It wasn't entirely trivial at the time, but it was on the order of a couple hundred bucks. I chalked it up as a cheap lesson learned on the value of good passwords and moved on with life.
No strict timelines, yearly review, benchmarks or external pressure.

Maybe not imposed on Jeff himself, at least not in this narrow sense, but the people who work for him most likely have all that.
I said illegal immigration, not immigration in general.

Does your analysis show illegal immigration is a net gain?
trains longer than the station would double the time at each stop. that's not acceptable. but also, most stations are not designed to have trains longer than the station. a station usually has more platforms than the two rails that feed it. an overlong train would frequently block other trains coming in at other platforms.

the only thing that would work is to have two trains on the same route in a short delay from each other. say half an hour.

however, for all of this the real problem is cost. i believe germany dropped all overnight trains because they weren't getting used enough compared to high-speed trains. it's interesting that austria bought them, but i guess with austrias lack of high-speed trains, overnight trains are still useful.

Honestly, I'd rather kill myself than be subject to a daily groupthink circle jerk.

I'm not interested in doing this shit before noon. But really, the entire day is ruined by a daily firing squad.

Please fuck off, and find another reason to talk to me. Asses in chairs management is bullshit. This is just cover to make sure I show up before 10AM. I don't care about your roll call. The subway is crowded with pieces of shit, and I'll pass through it on my own time. If you cared, you wouldn't delegate QA to morons. You'd take an active roll in getting shit done, and you'd know as much about the technical internals as any engineer, and understand why things are the way they are, without resorting to brainless rituals.
Got any insight as to why TDD is such a great thing?

From how Ive heard it described it seems to be a way for management to impose rules on how developers can approach writing a feature and not necessarily a benefit to the devs.

If I understand it properly, it's essentially write a test so it fails then fill in the feature gap. The whole write first bit is just so you don't have to retest later to verify that your test didn't hit a false positive, right? Something a careful person would check anyways...
You can use decimetres if you wish (0.1m or 10cm, so about ⅓ foot). In practise this isn't really a shortcoming, so hardly anyone does use them.

About the only place I see decimetre markings is depth gauges on rivers/canals/bridges, and rulers used by geologists when photographing a rock formation.
Humans would meet the criteria for an invasive species.
It's the unhealthy lifestyle, not brushing teeth before bed, dislocating shoulders and not having healthcare that caused my comment.

> It boggles the mind to think the American government is actively accelerating this crisis.

It shouldn't. They're effectively owned by the fossil fuel/military/prison industrial complex. And the billionaires who run things would rather build bunkers in New Zealand than actually fix the problems they've created because they're so insulated from them that they no longer understand how the world actually works.

I mean what did we expect would happen when we based our economy around the rule that everyone must maximize profits at all costs, eh.
I've recently listened to a podcast (2004) with the author of Newspeak. Mind-expanding stuff that makes a lot of sense in retrospect.

well that is why when you read announcements about upcoming electric cars coming from various manufacturers you have to look very closely. One term is "electrified" which in real speak means PHEV and not BEV which is what they hope you think.

This is the perfect rejoinder to "but muh cultural heritage". If you want to break out the "400 year old tradition" argument, you shouldn't get to use modern industrial whaling technology.

> these products are essentially built upon slave labor.

Citation needed.

AFAIK, the labor is entirely voluntary and reimbursed. Wages are much lower, but so is cost of living.
Indeed, the "it's not for you" argument is tiresome precisely because the people who seem most disappointed about Mac Pro pricing are the people who actually need a powerful, expandable Mac. My mom doesn't care what it costs, because she doesn't need one, but I've used Mac Pros for years, and I actually need one.

There was a time when Mac Pros were an excellent value, and you could afford one if you were a modestly successful entrepreneur. But with the new Mac Pro, Apple seems to largely ignore the needs of entrepreneurs and small studios. It appears targeted at large studios where the cost premium is a rounding error.

But contrary to popular belief, many "professionals" do consider cost when buying equipment. Being able to depreciate this stuff on your taxes doesn't suddenly make the cost irrelevant.
This was an excellent response! I am extremely grateful you took the time to write this up. It gives me a lot better understanding of things and is inspiring some new ideas. I'm curious about your experience in collecting recyclables. I've been in some interesting/desperate situations as well! I used to go to dumpsters around local apartment complexes and pick up furniture and what not and re-sell it. My biggest single find was a large antique mirror that I sold for $300! A lot better than cans.

""I'm a bit nervous but happy that we can start selling tobacco," one tobacconist told AFP news agency before opening shop. "I don't think young people know how to chew and smoke tobacco any more. I want more people try to smoke it at least once.""

If schools were giving out free samples of tobacco, marijuana, heroin, meth, etc., and urging kids to try it, how well would that go over?

That another country is also evil doesn't make what Japan is doing any better. They both need to stop.

There is increasing evidence that whales have a huge role in climate change. Their poop feeds plankton which in turn absorbs carbon. And their physical bodies when they die sink, moving significant amounts of carbon to the bottom where is stays in that ecosystem far away from the atmosphere.

If the Japanese and Norwegians don't care about killing such magnificent animals for food, perhaps they can be taught to value them as ecological partners in the fight against climate change.

The saddest part of this statement is that the European rail system is MASSIVELY subsidized even at the price points that the person you responded to described as "paying out the nose", which of course is a somewhat subjective position for a European to say, because their already lower salaries are massively taxed and to pay for the subsidized rail systems the gleeful Americans can gush about being so cheap when they return to the USA and demand socialism.

I'll take Austin's local light rail train as an example to illustrate what I mean. I once looked into the finances and financing sources to get the system stood up, and I worked out that it would be around a $30-$35 trip from one end in the middle of the city to the outskirts of Austin's Leander township if the actual cost of the system were paid for by the rider.

It is immensely deceptive and rather dumb that these realities are simply ignored, especially by seemingly otherwise rather intelligent people that congregate here.

At the very least, there should not only be the direct cost per ticket if it were not heavily subsidized by taxes of Europeans, which non-Europeans should have to pay, and the price that is subsidized that Europeans pay. It is really rather immensely immoral to ride on the train at a cost that is heavily subsidized by wildly immoral tax levels (e.g., 100% on gasoline, 20% on sales of goods, ~35% of income that is also 70% of what it is in places like the USA).

Ironic that so many Agile coaches like to bandy about Dave Snowden's Cynefin and then act entirely opposite of what it recommends.
This is a weird title, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technology was first used in the field of Chemistry for identifying the structure and content of molecules. The medical industry was later able to adopt it, under the name MRI, for medical imaging. This should really be considered an extension of NMR.
So, is each web client going to download the full history so it can build an index? I like being able to login from anywhere, but building a local index could take some time, and I definitely don't want that to happen when I first open slack in the browser.
I work at a place almost like that and I know the solution but nobody wants to pay for it.

We develop software in house. I am the single dev on staff, we have a few contractors that we use for legacy ERP system programming/maint./modifications. I work with people who have CS degrees, however, it is still hard for them to understand why I'm spending time on layered architecture instead of using some basic OOP. Thankfully, they trust me and allow me to do what is required.

The BEST solution I see is having more than one full stack dev but then you are paying 2x more. Also, have some kind of standard and review any outsourced work. I picked up a legacy app after an outside contractor and it has been a disaster to work with.

The source code provided was out of date, he could not produce the source code that was running in production. No naming conventions were used, literally everything was just generic names like command1, textbox1, and so on. This could have been easily caught if any competent junior looked at the code. Some methods with tens of if statements, methods that are 1k+ lines long, almost zero OOP.

If a company does have a single dev and cannot afford another they really need to stress maintenance and verify in some way that the dev is capable of producing a maintainable project. Therefore, they maybe should hire someone to help with the hiring process but hiring SEs is difficult even when experienced people are doing the hiring.
Some problems model better with objects. This thread seems to treat poor OOP design and antipatterns as the definition of OOP.
