I didn't mean to start religious discussion, rather used this term as in writings of Mark Weber (value of hard work etc.). This is more about set of principles that shaped Western …

Imagine if all improvements over the course of history would be kept in secret for gains of owners of capital. Who own rights to the invention of an axe? Probably the first one who…

I see a lot of protestant mentality here in comments valuing any kind of even inhumane labour which does not allow to meet basic needs over not having a job, but also not suffering…

I don't really agree with commenter above, but this argument is blatantly wrong. Executives are paid the way they are just because they are in charge of, among other things, compen…

I migrated about one year ago and this is a feature I really love. Every service has unique address and goes to separate folder via rules. Also, there are automatic aliases when yo…

> but your pay is roughly correlated with the value of your labour. It is not. The value fire-fighters, teachers or nurses provide is much higher than, say, an enterprise developer…

I wasn't clear. In Europe, part-time employees get their time off pro-rated based on working hours, while full-time ones get minimum required by law (20+ days per year, depending o…

> How do you decide who qualifies for four weeks pay? You don't. Every full-time employee have right to paid holidays, like we have in every other country in the world.

A manager went to the Master Programmer and showed him the requirements document for a new application. The manager asked the Master: "How long will it take to design this system i…

New trend?

I randomly checked few servers using NordVPN and was able to connect via Russia.

You can say that in Polish, i.e. title "Pan" (Mr) or "Pani" (Ms) with either first name, last name or both. So I think people from certain cultural/linguistic backgrounds may not f…

"Track as much as possible in your current system."

Well, this joke is going around in devs' communities, but in fact never happened to me, at least not in last few years. Although I have met a few of fellow techies, totally sure th…

I've moved to Finland four months ago. There are not so many (indo)-european patterns you notice right there, although they exist. Some words are tricky like "appelsin" - "orange" …

I didn't watch the whole serie yet, but the first two are pretty solid and still fun. The first part doest not cover JS at all, but is rather a brief history of computing. Crockfor…

I cannot find it right now, but I am quite sure that in last few weeks there was a post on HN with roughly the same statement, but for high protein diet.

Well, actual duties. Go and ask two to five people of the same/similar team/level to write down what they were mostly doing last week or month. One of the hardest time for me is on…
