You realize this was intended as a joke, because a base assumption in that comment was, in a very specific and not that relevant way, incorrect, right? The "oops" and the parenthet…

Oops, in Germany the kitchen is usually the tenants responsibility. Does that mean we should lose our heating privileges instead? (I'm sure some landlords would love that)

Depends on how you frame it, the employee still owns the work in the sense that they are the copyright holder. But the employer is granted exclusive usage rights to the work, so yo…

This is more likely referring to the VM disk image the feature allocates, which would have little to do with Electron.

At the very least it did result in plenty of services that previously didn't allow one to delete accounts to add that option. For other cases writing a strongly worded email did th…

Frequently, but not always, I can reproduce such bugs using Epiphany [1] or other WebKit based browsers. That's at least somewhat cheaper when it works. [1]: https://webkit.org/dow…

FWIW the decision-makers at Google (and some other companies) should just learn what the Accept-Language header is for.

I wonder if this suffers from the same issue as 3 Pro, that it frequently "thinks" for a long time about date incongruity, insisting that it is 2024, and that information it receiv…

No, I just dislike ad-hoc insulting people for superficial things, because the focus was on the photos, not the article. I realize the irony of my previous comment, so apologies fo…

Ignoring the actual proposal or user, just looking at karma is probably a pretty terrible metric. High karma accounts tend to just interact more frequently, for long periods of tim…

Please tell me you are not running a NodeJS release that hasn't been supported for at least 3 years... Optional chaining was added in v14 (2020), and it sure looks like that is the…

I think it is somewhat ironic that you try to make a point that Chemie is an exception, when it is exactly the sort of example the claim is made from. Ich and Chemie are pretty sim…

Seems overly protective, and possibly a bit ridiculous depending on your sensibilities, if thought through. By similar logic supermarkets should not carry alcohol or tobacco, theat…

I mean, what does long mean in the grand scheme of things? Is a minute or two long? I think, no, in a vacuum they are fine, at least up to where I got. But even a short thing can g…

Is it if this constitutes an hour of two of your time, most of which is not actually fighting the boss, but walking back to it?

A good example of how the experience of something can be so different between people. I also feel the need to write an article about it, but I'm not done yet... At the surface I ha…

Ironic, I wasn't aware.

For P2P I can totally see the advantage. Although at that point I'm sure you, and any similar user, would not actually rely on ad-hoc advice like in this thread, and instead just e…

The amount of people here just exposing their network to Tailscale, and recommending others to do the same, is surprising, to say the least. I've set up Wireguard on a VPS once six…

Your CV and cover letter probably does a lot of the work at least in DACH. The stories I hear from friends in HR, at varying company sizes, is the stuff of fiction. Apparently most…
