    Congress or a state legislature could pass a law that says "No terms of service are ever enforceable" but to my knowledge no one has done that. So, under the current state of the l…

    Former attorney turned software developer here! Nope, it's not a settled question in the way that I think you mean. Each ToS is different so each would be subject to individual leg…

    If your job posting doesn't give some indication as to the possible salary range, I'm just not going to apply. What? I'm going to go through some bullshit interview process that in…

    My kids (ages 6 and 3) LOVE Bluey. We are American and (sadly) English-only speakers. The fact that the show is full of Australian accents has not impacted their ability to underst…

    I don't know what I have to do to get the sublime desktop experience that macOS is famous for... My work-issued Macbook Pro regularly forgets which monitor (my external monitor or …

    According to the Stackoverflow 2021 survey, it's not as popular as we might be led to believe. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#technology-mo... MacOS comes in at 25.…

    Former attorney here - if you ever end up in some kind of dispute, you will be glad you notified people in writing! I agree, that it's annoying in the meantime though.

    We moved to Portland, Oregon from Jackson, Mississippi last year. Portland, like Seattle, is a stereotypical "rainy" city and Jackson is not. Jackson gets almost 10 inches MORE rai…

    Oh man, Windows Terminal is a wonderful thing! I've used Konsole extensively; I've been a filthy dual booter for many years now. But I never did much development on Windows until a…

    Yeah... compressed 4 day weeks do nothing for you if you're a parent. My kids get out of school/daycare at 3:30 pm. That's hard enough to deal with working 8x5 days, especially pos…
