As a layman (please humour me, I realise this could be a daft question) is failure to report results generally a sign of anything relating to the outcome, or is it equally likely t…

I get that you were being deliberately a wee bit provocative, but If you honestly believed that of every manager you had, you would have been a horrible co-worker.

And if the system works sans-ethics, is that a problem beyond moralistic gatekeeping? Since the main objection in the article was the military coopting the practice - The basic ten…

That's a disingenuous comparison. How long did they wait before publishing? We don't know, it doesn't matter. Simply stating that they didn't respond had the desired effect, and - …

Doesn't matter, I suspect - It works within the narrative and implies they have something to hide. It's good /tabloid/ journalism, and poor investigative journalism. Randstad are v…

Depends if the whole industry decides to take advantage of the opportunity to increase prices and blame the cost of oil or not. It's the prisoners' dilemma, but applied to exploiti…

Yeah, the search vs shop tension is the big question. The difference being that Google are ostensibly a search engine, who are looking to monetize and leverage their ubiquity - Ama…

Is this an advert?

I think their point is simply that "it's their store" - and to be brutally honest, I agree. Two not-entirely-random examples of similar behaviour: Supermarkets place their own bran…

Realistically for companies rolling their own managers, it should be a gradual multi-year process. Initially mentoring less experienced developers, then into running a small team, …

To what degree are patents like this respected and/or enforced in China?

My favourite Easter egg: still works in Chrome. At least I hope it's an Easter egg, and not left in to provide legacy support ;)

Nestlé signed a deal with them at the beginning of April, according to TheKingOfBelAir's comment above, which would lead me to believe they were at least involved with the study. L…

I was suprised the degree to which selector performance is a negligible overhead in normal use these days. Was browsing through the docs for some Vue+CSS library or another recentl…

I'm taking about classes with an enforced 1:1 relationship with a DOM node, via a unique computed className. Since there is no requirement for a cascade for this, you've effectivel…

Is a single purpose class still a class? Not in the conventional sense - In CSS' lexicon it's a group of things, right? I've got nothing against the approach - it solves a problem …

CSS has been a bit of a mess for ages. It never scaled terribly well in its original state, and with every iteration became more bloated, so we came up with methods of controlling …

I believe it was.

Does the body effectively absorb trace amounts of minerals? Edit. I'm not implying any homeopathy antics, am genuinely curious.

Not taking the beeb at face value, but taking Assange's statements at face value suggests a similar lack of objectiveness.

I've always been a huge fan of sublime, i use it daily as a text editor. It's largely a visual clipboard for me. However as a development environment its lacking. The interface for…

Van eck radiation though. I use wax tablets for all sensitive communication, and ensure any wax scrapings are incinerated to prevent the wax displacement hash being brute forced.

https://mobile.twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/4573149344... Were he to try to return to US soil, I'm not sure Snowden would be able to rely on that being much more than a legal…

I'm running win10 at home and with the exception of cortana conspiring to escape her banishment, I don't think I've ever seen a direct advert as such. I upgraded back when they wer…
