In the meantime we have Lyft and Uber. I don't think we need fully autonomous vehicles to want to eliminate the need to own a vehicle that needs to be housed and stored for 95% of …

I tend to agree. While I find it painful to hear criticism when I inadvertently use words or phrases that are taken hurtfully, I nevertheless would prefer to be offered a wider per…

"you all" or "youse" can work as reasonable alternatives. I haven't tried "tons" since I've never actually heard it "used in anger." One less fraught, but equally confusing terms a…

To be fair, I see plenty of folks in open office settings that DGAF about that and looks at memes or YouTube or Reddit on 30" monitors visible to any passers by.

I've seen it go both ways. Definitely agreed that it's a human process and it can be gamed a bit. There are (or had been in the past) some checks on that with secondary committees …

There were lots of states with similar problems in the 70s. Others solved it better (e.g., NY Star program that helps specific classes of people that need help). Prop 13 was a chai…

As a kid, we ate at Ponderosa quite often. All you can eat soft serve. Though I recall putting some chunked (presumably canned) pineapple on my plate once, taking it back to my tab…

The one in my hood closed overnight inexplicably before we ever got to try it. Oh well.

Could be that the plans or companies offering coverage in her region have changed from year to year? While I wouldn't call this being "dropped" others might. Another possibility co…

IIRC, doordash used to provide a live map a couple years back. I'm guessing they have all the data and could share it again if they desired. Presumably they have some product reaso…

i.e., distributed systems.

Check out the graph here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-05/waging-am... Yeah, they rank on the list, but they're pretty far behind.

Also, SMS is not guaranteed to reach the recipient in any reasonable timeframe. Also, if they're supporting desktop clients I again call shenanigans on your argument.

Mobile web is an edge case, too. Shenanigans!

I call shenanigans for two reasons: 1) you can never assume a recipient ever has their phone on, with them and in a non-silent mode 2) users can disable push notifications for indi…

"It was introduced with those words. They have changed since (a long time ago too)."

While I broadly disagree with the OP, I don't think this critique resonates. The OP argues for more communication and collaboration throughout the day: Don't wait for the standup i…

And protobuf. No, wait, that was someone else. :-)

You're totally right, the transcript is quite readable 1/1 Powered by Rabbit 0.9.2

I couldn't stop my self from looking the reference up. It's in the entry on Politics: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/politics.html He's clearly injecting himself into the "definit…

The FSF is not a court of law. As such, their opinion on the interpretation of the license has no particular standing. It's helpful that they're the author of the license, and if i…

Naw, don't worry about it. You're a great friend :-)

Hah. I like how the author pluralized "targets'" while keeping all the other facts intact.

My only problem is that it's marked "fixed." I'd rather the bug be OBSOLETE or WONTFIX (I guess LP's closest status to those is "Invalid" which is fine, too). That would short circ…
