Never auto-format - auto-formatting is the worst menace ever to readable code. It's OCD over functionality.
Autoformating can get stuff right 95% of the time, but that other 5% matters a lot. Sometimes it's important to show the structure of data clearly through aligning columns in some clever way. Sometimes code needs to be formatted as a 2-D array (large switch statements). There's doesn't seem to be a good set of rules yet for the corner cases using in-line lambdas and stream/list comprehension stuff.
I've rejected many a code review where someone carelessly auto-formatted something important.
I use tabs so the code looks how everyone wants it to look. Like 4 spaces per indent? set ts=4. Like 8? Use set ts=8. etc.
Worrying about that is a sign of too much OCD. Code is code regardless of formatting. But if you indent more than 4 you're a heretic who will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes! Ahem.
I'd stick with one of the big providers, if you're going to use web mail at all. I switched from gmail to outlook.com, partly to live a Google-free life, but mostly because the gmail UI kept getting worse and worse. But certainly the latter is subjective, as is one's tolerance for an all-intrusive panopticon.
It doesn't apply to migrants, who by definition would be abiding by "normal immigration rules," but to asylum seekers, who are instead relying on their Asylrecht.
Ah, the imaginary asylum seekers. Dude, they're looking for a country with a real economy. More power to them for that, but they're economic migrants.
Depends on how much choice economic migrants have. Sounds fine to me to say "if you want to bypass our normal immigration rules, we'll let you in under these different rules, or you can pick a different nation in Europe". .
It's bigger than you think. The model S has the same legroom/interior space as a long wheelbase car, despite its overall length, because the motor takes up so much less room (you can even get a rumple seat). The model X is a reasonably-sized station wagon - like other crossovers, the space in the back is taller vertically and shorter along the central axis than the 70s station wagons.
If it weren't festooned with silliness like the hawk-wing doors, it would be a very practical car. But sadly, it just silly as is - the doors especially are horrific on a windy, rainy day.
Yes - they're mostly marketed towards men though. Men don't want to drive "a minivan", so this entire industry of macho-looking (and less functional!) minivans was created.
But the Model X is not an SUV, it's a "crossover". Which is just a macho-looking station wagon, of course.
None of that would have helped in the least, and "Change the anachronistic look and feel" would have destroyed what was left. Yahoo will never be relevant again, period. But it has a legacy user base that will be there till they die, or some "designer" chases them off by changing the site.
Her job was to pretty Yahoo up for sale. She did that well - the stock was $15, 5 years ago, and it's $52 now. Investors are happy.
Fission cannot scale down. "Critical mass" isn't just an expression. RTGs are very weak power/weight, unless you compare against the weight of months of fuel. And even then, anything hot enough to be useful is best used only offworld.
Fusion is so far out it's hard to say much. There are fusion reactions that wouldn't require meters-thick shielding for safety, but they're the harder ones to do, and we've been failing the easy reactions for 50 years now. Still, Mr Fusion isn't actually physically impossible, even if we won't see it this century.
She only failed if you think her job was to turn Yahoo into a modern competitive internet company. That was never going to happen, and I doubt the board had any illusions.
Her job was to change the company in ways that made it sell for more, and keep the stock price up in the mean time. She did that quite well. There's a whole industry around "boost the selling price of this failing company", BTW. mostly for small companies.
Christianity, maybe 70% is fundamentalist, and amongst those, what they believe in is usually less tame
Bullshit. The vast majority of Americans when polled describe themselves as "Christian", but a small percentage describe themselves as "religious". So, most people who self-identify as "Christian" don't even consider themselves as "religious".
They may have started the fad, but they at least turn important stuff over to pure Ops people. Unlike Amazon, where a dev makes a typo in a command line and takes all of S3 down for a day.
How do you think people get into the job? Some minor skill is required, and must be demonstrated. Usually one of the older women will bring someone new along with her for a little while, until she seems to get the hang of it.

Damn, that's starting wages for someone right out of school! Maybe I should stop using tabs AND spaces.
The Big 5 pay close to 6 figures now right out of college. But the numbers in TFA are a global average.

Five!
Three, sir.
I also can't work with 2 spaces - just not enough visual cue.
I know for a fact the two very big ones use WebKit's style guide as a basis for most of their work, and that it asks you to use spaces.
"Two" big ones? The large employers are the "Big 5": Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft.
What's a "WebKit"?
I worked with a person who used three spaces. He's "not with us" anymore. :)
I use 3 spaces for personal stuff. 2 is just not enough visual cue for me. But I don't inflict that on others.

Use gmail.

That's a RTG, not a fission reactor as the term is actually used.

Came here to say this. Looking forward to the next "Fuck Konami News" segment on the Jimquisition.

Killing the driver in front of you will not improve traffic or shorten your commute that day. Trust me on this.
Sounds sadly common. Project managers shouldn't own the requirements in the first place, just delivery against agreed requirements.

"m" is the SI unit abbreviation for milli.
"M" is the SI unit abbreviation for Mega.
Neither of these units are applied to currency, thus the high likelihood for this post to result in confusion.
Currency, oddly enough, uses "MM" for million. Never figured out why, but it's evidently the standard for finance.

The plural of Lego is obviously Legos. Anyone without an MBA could see that.
There's a real difference between DevOps and "small company, so I wear both hats". The latter is a forced error, the former insanity.
They may have started the fad, but they at least turn important stuff over to pure Ops people. Unlike Amazon, where a dev makes a typo in a command line and takes all of S3 down for a day.
Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all do DevOps to some extent (Amazon especially). So everyone else copies them. Damn all management fads.
