    50% of migrants can't find a job. Our banks are publishing papers that for every 1% our population increases, home prices appreciate 3% above the target CPI of 2%; AFTER accounting…

    This isn't really relevant to bring up in 2022. But this thread always brings a huge grin to my face. I'm probably one of the few that really likes watching the "Steve Jobs" level …

    I work in the auto industry in HMDs, and I think the last comment was somewhat on the right track, but perhaps missing bits of a larger issue at hand. We can get the impression tha…

    The ridiculous part is if you had once had location tracking on before, and had previously set your Home/Work address - Android Auto will still occasionally offer you directions to…

    Hiring discrimination is not the same thing as advertising/outreach. You are free to to apply to any company you want, and they are legally required to judge you on the basis of yo…

    You can even go the extra step and get them realistic noise-canceling ones for sleeping. They'll probably even thank you for it!

    Selenium sets up the browser profile for you, so you can disable images, videos, css, javascript, embeds, all to your heart's content. I've recently started using Selenium with the…

    Why would you switch from selenium to beautiful soup halfway through what you're trying to do, and force your program to re-request the same information from the web server? Seleni…
