I drive 1 hour a day to and from work. The commute is the mind cleanser. It helps sort problems out in your head, and context shift you into and out of work mode.
Perhaps your issue was living a retarded distance from work, not the fact that you commuted.
Wow... it's really common apparently for people to not understand that their job is not just to sit at a computer coding all day, and that by doing that, they are far from 100% productive.
Your job is to work as part of a team - it's to make sure that all the parts of the team are able to function. Those office door conversations are hugely efficient communication about design, how things currently work, how things should work, what who is working on, when, why the design looks like that rather than something else. They are probably the single most important part of a developer's day.
I'm amazed so many people here think that they're nothing but a drag on their productivity.
The issue isn't even "using 3rd party code", it's "static linking 3rd party code". If people learned to dynamic link libraries, rather than compile them in, then this wouldn't be a problem at all. If the OpenSSL guys learned that distributing only as a static library is a bad thing, and learned to make their ABI stable, then heart bleed would be a lot less of an issue.
The difference is that in order to acquire a permit you have to demonstrate that you're following some reasonable, basic software development and testing protocols, and not just throwing untested, dangerous software on the road.
No one holds a gun to anyone's head to work for any company. That doesn't change the fact that if part of the contract of working there is fixed hours, fixed pay, fixed requirements for how you behave, then you're employed by them, not a contractor.
Probably exactly the same given that it's repeatedly been demonstrated that beyond being comfortable, salary is a really terrible motivator for job performance or job satisfaction.
It's actually closer to the correct implementation - leap seconds are the technical solution to try and get us back closer to the correct time. Making seconds marginally longer is actually more accurate.
The real minimum wage isn't 0. It's subsistance. A human, on their own, in the absolute worst case is capable of subsisting. That establishes a lower bound on the value of someone's time.
The problem at the moment, is that many low paid jobs actually drop below that minimum that's necessary to actually live.
The idea that you don't think that people are entitled to enough resources to live is pretty mind boggling to me.
I think that's rather the point - no one is proposing raising wages across the board - they're proposing raising wages at the bottom, but not the top.
AC is right - a burger flipper doesn't deserve as much as a skilled electrician, but what they do deserve is enough to live on (as anyone working full time does). The disparity between top and bottom has got so large that it's not possible to live at the bottom any more. That needs to be fixed.
Well, I can see each individual's liability - they drove a car that pollutes into the centre of London and are therefore liable for a fee. VW's liability is there to each individual since their false advertising made them liable for the fee. London are just trying to cut out the middle man.
The tolls were for entering London in a vehicle that pollutes a lot. They weren't paid because VW diesels "don't pollute a lot". Now it turns out that they do, so they're asking VW to pay, since the customers who would normally owe the tolls bought the cars in good faith thinking that they would be able to enter London without paying the toll.
Which Android phone that's even vaguely in the same ballpark as an iPhone in terms of performance costs $149?
Note, since you're clearly not counting contracts as you cited $900 for a phone that retails for $649 without any contract at all, I fully expect you to mark up any android phone by $250, meaning, what I'm really looking for is for you to find an android phone which has similar specs to an iPhone, but they'll give you $100 for using it, even though it doesn't come with any strings attached.
Fundamentally, this is it. There's only one way that we add carbon to the atmosphere - digging it up from the ground. There's only one way to take it away - put it back in the ground.
Strangely, the State Department's emails do get sent to, and/or from other people. It would be pretty fucking useless if the communication mechanism wasn't able to be used for communicating with people.
I'm not saying they were all relevant, I'm saying that quickly filtering them out based on keyword searching does not constitute an investigation based on actual experience investigating the Podesta email dump.
We're not talking about keyword searches here.
We're talking about "was this sent to/from Hillary Clinton". That's not a keyword search. That's "we know *exactly* which email addresses were hosted on Hillary's private server, and we can instantly identify exactly which emails have anything to do with that".
We're also talking about "was this sent during Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of State". Again - not a keyword search. We know an exact date range during which Hillary could receive these emails. It's completely safe to eliminate any others.
This isn't some weird fuzzy matching, its exactly eliminating sets of emails very quickly.
Most people are - given that most people sleep for 8 hours a night, and don't use their car for significantly longer than that.
Further to that - in locations where EVs are taking off, it's pretty normal for work car parks to have a bunch of chargers (there's another 8 hours of the car sat around with no one in it), along with a bunch of shops/restaurants.
Owning an EV, I may be biased, but my experience so far is that I spend far *less* time messing about putting go-juice of one kind or another in my car, because I plug it in, go to work, come back, and have a full charge.
the point is, if they can do it this quickly, why did take some many months the first time they investigated this?
Because the first time, they had tens of thousands of emails, none of which were duplicates of ones they already had, and all of which were sent to or from Hillary Clinton, and all of which were sent during her time in office as Secretary of State. Further, they had to investigate several different avenues for finding more emails.
This time, they have hundreds of thousands of emails, only a small percentage of which were sent to or from hillary clinton, only a small percentage of the remaining were sent while she was in office as secretary of state, only a small percentage of the remaining were not duplicates of existing emails that they had already reviewed. The result is that even though the original number was larger than the original cache they had to search, it's likely that they only had to look through a couple of hundred in the end this time.
I don't get why people are having such a hard time grasping this.

I'm thinking more a cheat with a face on it.

You're thinking of the Welsh.

I guess we should herd all the people who can't find enough good work to live into death camps then.
That's why in most of the world with minimum wages, the minimum wage is lower for people who aren't old enough to leave school yet.

So much of a no brainer that everyone has already figured out that it's massively more expensive and less flexible than using trucks?
Probably not. I believe the most likely explanation is that the polls were systematically wrong, rather than that the election was hacked.
Systematically wrong only in areas with voting machines, and correct in other areas? That would be a pretty weird version of systematic bias.
