They pay everyone moderately well, try to make it a nice place to work and give you a good work-life balance and hope you don't throw it all away chasing a few more dollars.
Maybe we should send over some troops to these shithole countries, to liberate what will most certainly be a grateful populace from this horrible socialist dystopia.
Sure, survival is important, but procreation is too. I mean:
Oh yeah, put it there... no wait! Not there! Sorry, I couldn't tell with your... that's a tattoo, right? Ah never mind, we'll try for a baby next time.
*Appoint* a new one? I'm hoping they can eliminate the office entirely and replace it by an algorithm. At least the algorithm doesn't feel bad when you call it racist.
2. A: Because the only people more square than those still using Facebook, are the ones who want destroy it because they think they're remedying a social ill. "Like, Facebook is what my *parents* still use."
I wonder how many people in Russia actually voluntarily chose Pravda as their source of truth and used its content in arguments in others. Not people in power, just regular people.
If those financial indicators are predicated on the stability and reliability of the US dollar,
The petrodollar system elevated the U.S. dollar to the world's reserve currency and through this status, the U.S. is able to enjoy persistent trade deficits, and become a global economic hegemony. The petrodollar system also provides the United States’ financial markets with a source of liquidity and foreign capital inflows through petrodollar "recycling."
I don't need an IDE to get work done, but the young guys in my group all seem to insist on it.
One of the hardcore programmers I know used vi/m for a long time, but eventually had to move to a graphical IDE for Java development because of the inline API + arguments completion/documentation. I suspect he was working with a lot of APIs over multiple projects and didn't have them all memorized.
Well, my computer makes my dog look like Albert Einstein. I plugged it in and turned it on, and instead of going to work on my telephone-company letters, it started asking a lot of idiot questions, such as what day it was. So I typed in the following computer program:
NEVER YOU MIND WHAT DAY IT IS. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS STRAIGHTEN OUT ALL MY FILES AND COME UP WITH A NICE HEALTHY LIST OF MY TAX DEDUCTIONS, TAKING PAINS TO GIVE ME, RATHER THAN THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT NOT CLAIMING ANYTHING THAT WOULD LAND ME IN THE SLAMMER, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.
And the computer said:
SYNTAX ERROR
Do you believe that? This machine that doesn't even know what day it is tells me, the paid professional writer, that I have a syntax error.
On the contrary, a good system that notices mistakes like that should be able to tell that your attention is flagging, and intentionally drives your car through the Starbucks, probably to pick up a latte.
As I recall it was in a comment, or perhaps within an "if false" statement, something that couldn't possibly affect how the program runs.
However, the file ended up being used in a way that I didn't intend or predict, and the presence of the joke caused a significant outage.
This is nearly word-for-word a situation that keeps coming up when using static analysis tools, with people considering the first line as a 'false positive' (in code), and the second being the argument I make as to why it makes sense to rework the code to fix the issue anyway.
It's a clear case of professionalism (in this case, robustness) doing what the decapodians did to the squash people of the squash planet, but in this case to whimsy in software. It sucks the fun out of coding especially when you've come up with a great joke in context, but it's kind of the mature thing to do, stupid frickin' code reuse best practices.

Go *after*? This is one of the most proactive data disclosures I've seen from any organization.

You don't feel a little more relaxed after paying a month's bills?

There is no magic process that will work for everything.
So in different words, I guess TLC was right.

it could be more than a trifle off. How much, though, I don't know enough to say.
You know what's easier, cheaper, more efficient, and doesn't require technology that won't exist until 2050? Monorails.
Sorry, mom, the mob has spoken.

Re: Facebook, ask your kids what it is. Not your grandkids -- they'll just tell you 'Facebook is for old people' and send you back to your kids.
she wants the man to hurt. Not in a punitive way, but in a show me a sacrifice that gives me a tangible proof of your love way.
I guess it also means if you're rich enough, the man and the sacrifice doesn't have to be you/rs.
I guess some things never change:

Yup, that's apropos.
Or "BusyBox/Linux", possibly.
Ahh, memories.

After the publicity surrounding his death they fast-tracked and pushed out a software fix maybe a month later.
Is that why Slashdot doesn't yet have a software fix allowing us to edit comments for a few minutes after posting to correct minor errors?
You can't manage what you don't measure. The adage is especially relevant for climate-warming greenhouse gases,
I don't think this was ever actually said by its original attributee (Abraham Lincoln).

Not yet, anyway.
Here you go, just in time.
