Probably because forgetting to pull the handbrake is a very common cause of accidents?

I don't think I even paid them more per hour. The problem was that all the other companies only want to hire full time programmers, so I was able to hire them by offering a job wit…

> so early websites couldn't even place text over images I take offense at this! We weren't that stupid back then! We just put the text 5 times on the page, with position: relative…

I don't know about the situation in Spain, but what a lot of people in Austria mix up is that there are different types of terminating contracts. In Austria, the employer can termi…

Labour protections doesn't mean you are protected from being fired. You have to pay people the minimum salary depending on their trade, you have to give them 5 weeks of vacation, p…

That's a myth. How is it hard to fire someone? I live in Austria and you can fire people for pretty much any reason. You have to give them 6 weeks notice, and there are some extra …

I hired a developer who just wanted a cushy job and I offered him a cushy job. I offered 4 day work week, no on-call, no overtime, but paid less than their previous employer (becau…

The billing department knows exactly what you were running, but they only tell you once a month...

We recently flew to Gatwick and I was pleasantly surpised how quick everything was. Barely any waiting times, the hardest part was figuring out which train to London needs what tic…

Do you think that websites really don't track you if you switch all the toggles?

Interesting. Maybe that's one of the reasons. I think there are multiple root causes. Another common issue I see is "failed to get app specific key"

Every year I battle with a few permission related bugs in my app. Somehow macOS will randomly block some file accesses on some machines in some circumstances. Take security scoped …

Presumably with a blood pressure monitor?

I'd love a replacement for Salami and Bacon. I don't think there is a healthy alternative that comes close.

I think that people really like violence, but no-one will publicly admit it. People want others to suffer. Nobody really cares about making the world a better place, or saving the …

Wait until they hear about people travelling in camper vans that cook their own meals and just park by the roadside for sleeping! Or even worse, bicycle tourists who bivouac by the…

Dorms and hostels have multiple beds in a room, and guests share bathrooms & kitchens. This is similar.

> There’s no restrictions on notarized apps that I’m aware of. Notarized Mac apps have to used the hardened runtime, which comes with a few restrictions. For now, there are no cont…

But macOS requires app notarisation. They again made it harder to run un-notarised apps this year. If you look at the iOS side, it's clear that Apple has no qualms adding content r…

Why not? Hostels work like that, and they are just fine. Lots of women staying in hostels. Usually they have woman only rooms and mixed rooms.

It's more like a dorm room / hostel, but with a privacy curtain. Accomodations like this are common for low cost travelling, the only difference is that these are for medium term s…

The problem with popular tools is that they have more bugs that can be fixed. So bug reports are pretty much worthless: You know that there are 1000 bugs out there, but you only ha…

We should probably look at developer salaries / hourly rates rather than GDP. Most of the people in developing countries don't need IDEs. But yeah, if you work for low rates, then …

Or if you have tax exempt revenue, like B2B sales to other countries.

Yeah, the reason that governments are introducing revenue-based taxes is because companies found a lot of loopholes to avoid paying profit-based taxes. This creates an unfair advan…
