This is not new or controversial. Names vary between languages and countries. What would be controversial, is for Google to decide on other names than the official one. If you're u…

To play the devil's advocate: It's possible that the person making the announcement was only given the rounded percentages and the total number of votes, and then "created" the num…

Not saying it would solve ALL the problems described in the blog post, but keeping these conversations to shared channels would be the first thing I'd do. I my experience, the chan…

It seems that they allow you to pick which region(s) to deploy to. What are you missing at that point? Is it because you need to be able to defer responsibility to a legal entity o…

How about just continuing as an average developer? Is this not possible?

Ok thanks I'll read Chrome's and Firefox source code over the weekend.

> Money That's incredibly vague. Can you explain? How are the many forks/variants of Chromium and WebKit not affected by this "money" factor in the same way

> Firing thousands of workers for not being vaccinated (including those, to repeat, who have natural immunity through infection) is also unprecedented Is this true in the US? It se…

The name in English seems a bit gimmicky. "Älv" in the context means "river" and not "elf". I guess someone choose to use this play on words in the translation to pique interest an…

If you live in an apartment in Sweden it's now often treated as a utility. I have the following things included in my rent: water, (central) heating and 1Gb/1Gb internet. I don't e…

I disagree. It's not about being pedantic, but losing confidence that the author understands concepts that are highly relevant to the subject.

People tip a lot more when paying in cash. Also, they can pocket some of the cash payments and avoid taxes.

Having worked with Docker Swarm previously - Kubernetes seems like they added 5 layers of abstractions and at the same time made it feel more low-level. I think Kubernetes has all …

It seems to me that this is not about introversion but instead about insecurities or emotional issues.

Is it supposed to work with transparency? I only get black pixels instead.

Sort of. It was founded in 1856 as a government agency. In 2001 it was turned into a company with 100% of the shares owned by the government. Additionally, it's not a "rail line". …
