Slack is dismantling what I've spent decades honing my email filters for and there's no analogue.

It's that the guy who won this time is a horrible human being and is the head of a party that seems barely interested in governing, but more in enriching themselves even if it mean…

I highly recommend using Fluid Film instead of WD-40. It will coat better and last a lot longer (you'll still have to put it on once a year).

Couple is two. Few is four. Several is at least five. There is nothing for three, except for very large values of two or very small values of four (these are so uncommon in practic…

Jassy's answer to that question contained this tidbit about "how to build a strong team? ... go into the office ..." At that point I was certain the RTO message was coming and it w…

If you're in a building at Amazon, sure, Amazonians. If you're out on the street in Seattle with regular people, it's often Amholes.

It's not that they necessarily need true reasoning. It would just be extremely beneficial, because that's what every human driver already has built-in (although exercised to varyin…

Some time ago I had asked one of my Indian friends (who manages a software team in India and the US and has travelled the world, so he has a varied perspective) what he thinks is t…

lol You're on a website catering to people who dislike having others prove them wrong and will stretch "technically correct" as far as possible, in the face of all else. If compute…

> Sorry, I forgot you did not specify. [...] I'm sorry for assuming. No it is not sorry, and no it did not forget. Why should I believe the computer forgot that I did (or didn't) t…

I wanted this to be true, but "whalesalad" was the thread's top-post user.

I set up an AWS API Gateway that proxies to Reddit RSS URLs and then I just give the APIG endpoint URL to Feedly. Unless you have a lot of reddit feeds or high traffic ones, you pr…

Engineers have an often-times pedantic fascination with debugging deeply detailed problems. Consider a legal trial to be a giant machine executing a huge set of detailed and arcane…

Plenty of selfish/oblivious drivers, but don't overlook the selfish pedestrians causing intersection traffic backup too. There are plenty that are crossing right up until the light…

That's how you win elections. You tell (convince) people what to be afraid of, and who's to blame for it.

> Good use of manager time is to figure out what those people do differently and then have them teach their ways to the others. What if the greats do that, and the others just don'…

Yes it does, but not for everything, and there's certainly less new work being done with it. It's impressive that much of that code just works and no one has touched it in a long t…

> More often, however, migraines are likely to be covered by FMLA (in the us) and the person gets time off for a certain amount of days. Almost always, you will be expected (rightl…

Yes (at least, on desktop there is). Right click on the map where you want to fix something and select "Report a data problem". The UI will walk you through the rest.

It's not useless at all. That the answer is simple does not imply the journey to fulfilling the answer is also simple. If a person lacks discipline, it is generally within their co…

You can almost always get a free consultation from a lawyer. In that, they will make a guess as to how likely the case is to be won by you (the plaintiff) and decide whether to tak…

It is POSIX shell parsing behaviour that redirections can appear anywhere in the command (obviously, not in the same word as another parameter, nor inside a quoted string). They ha…

The only options you usually need for comm are -1, -2, and -3. It takes two arguments, call them 1 and 2. Its job is to include lines from each and both files in output (by default…
