That would be very cool to have in a code autoformatter

Sounds good enough for my boss to me

At this point they should just consider disconnecting the UK from the wider internet

I was using the N900 when it came out and at that point Android was in no way superior to whatever Nokia was doing. Their main misstep was choosing Windows Phone and shipping the N9 as a dead-on-arrival product. Nonetheless the UX was pretty ahead of its time and we could have had a real Qt based Linux phone OS

Maemo and Meego were so good

And 16 year olds the british army: https://jobs.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/can-i-apply/age/#

Because currently Gaza is still officially occupied territory and Israel is reponsible

I feel like most things degrade as a matter of scope-creep, while trying to implement features that are actually complex and non-trivial.

Take the unholy mess of modern Microsoft Office. MS Office might have been a good tool for a single purpose back in the 80s, but the addition of multiple generation/layers of features that have been halfway abandoned but kept for compatibilitys sake, make any more complex task non-trivial. There are multiple approaches for implementing templating MS Word, none of which are really good. MS Macros have been great… if you are trying to get arbitrary code execution on Windows machines. And collaboretive editing features include halfway abandoned sharing features and a half-baked Web Version of Office 365.

As a matter of fact I don’t believe this is purely out of corporate greed, but rather a lack of scope limitation during design. People don’t ask if they should, if they simply can do. We shouldn’t have macros inside of Text Documents, there should be another tool for that. We shouldn’t have SQL queries pulling into Excel Worksheets. We shouldn’t use Excel as a database, but people had to change names of biological genes to avoid these being autoformatted in Excel.

But as a matter of fact, in general one is limited to working with the tools one knows, so convincing someone to use the correct tool for a job will always be harder than just delivering additional features, that we know will make the overall product worse.

Guess he has only been working 250x as hard as the other employees

Let me guess… US? I can never understand why people dont lobby for higher minimum days off there

All the religious groups that emigrated to the US? This take has so many issues, but pilgrims, quakers and mormons are probably somewhere on the cult spectrum

Reducing human oversight and intervention in HR will definitely not lead to problems down the road.

But then reversing sites will be so much more annoying

I think people should in general put as little trust as possible in corporations. Ensuring your tools, language and platform are as free as possible is a good idea.

Just look at the problematic situation for VS Code extensions by Microsoft, which are non-free.

Not sure how it works in NL but in most countries your health insurance takes over at some point

Commonly they dont recommend embryotoxic medication in woman of childbearing age, as unecpected pregnancies happen and the chance for severe birth defects increase. Sometimes these can only be detected late into a pregnancy, so if the person might want to keep a pregnancy it would be not to take it.

Tbf bread and mutton sounds pretty good

Just tell the pilot to fly faster and relativity should handle the rest

What paper is that?

Tbf in most IT companies nobody cares about certs that are not on some form mandatory. A company caring about certs might be a negative signal to their ability to hire effectively for IT roles
