Well, for how long? Not all the job offers come in at the same time. If your only offer so far is McD's, it might be worth it to do some extra job training for a year to be a more …

"Male-dominated" is used all the time to refer to workplaces and industries that skew heavily male.

I remember having to work with a Croatian outsourcing company once, it was pretty much the same as the worst-case people talk about for India. You had to nail down the specs exactl…

Lots of cities plant decorative fruit trees, and more rural area often has feral fruit. You're allowed to harvest fruit on public property (at least where I live). It's actually be…

I can tell you're not focused on styling of it (fair enough) but it might be good to slap a basic CSS reset on it or something. In my browser (Chrome) it's very hard to read, mostl…

He's only using for paragraph breaks. The thing that makes the article look strange on mobile/wide monitors is probably the part where it's inside a fixed-width table cell.

He doesn't know whether his neighbor needs disability or not, he's just guessing. MS symptoms are really variable. The fact that he has a few good days doesn't mean he can hold dow…

What do you expect people to do when they can't find work and don't have access to any other safety net? Is it really worse for someone to lie in order to keep food on the table an…

Agreed, I've had to compile pieces of C++ software that had dependencies on third party libraries for completely ridiculous trivial reasons. Like requiring OpenSSL for a project th…

That's probably not the tattoo that's meant. When most cats get neutered/first shots, they get a tattoo in the ear with a unique serial number, which includes a vet to contact. Tha…

That's the current policy with the current rates. If they cut the rates too much, they may have to choose between changing the policy or having no Uber drivers.

I don't know, in those stock photos I can picture them without the books and it doesn't seem as bad. They're all pictures of people in public places minding their own business. The…

Me too, but it does seem to be more accepted generally. I know people who would have never dreamed of reading at the table who routinely use their smartphones now.

It would look strange and lonely if they shopped books into these photos where the smartphones used to be. Two of those pictures take place during a barbecue and one is at the dinn…

For sure it's a tax system problem, but in the usual case (where it was already taxed once in Canada) it makes sense not to double-tax child support. AFAICT most of the money isn't…

I like how he talks about the ex-employees as they are dead. Honouring the memory of the lost by continuing to fight for the cause.

This doesn't really apply to expats, but income tax isn't really about income, it's about funding all the public services you use. There are problems right now in parts of Canada w…

How long did it take you to find a job using this method? Were you applying to software jobs?

Are you saying that all women want to talk about is bland socially-approved topics, or that everything other than engineering and video games is bland and socially-approved? I like…

I grew up in a trailer park too, and look forward to the day I can afford to go back to a life that simple.

Some people also convert a spare bedroom into an office and when they leave "work", they leave the office and close the door. The "fun" computer lives somewhere else.

Why is this the business's responsibility? Like, I understand why they might want to do this, because it will increase traffic, but we're talking about its usefulness as a service …

If we're polling, I jumped to Yalve.

But if they're public domain, the are free as in speech. You can modify the images any way you like and then do whatever with the result.

In many places online, if you don't announce your race/gender/location, many people will just assume you are a white male living in the US, and respond to you accordingly. Sometime…
