It’s the format used in large parts of Asia.

The rest of your time will be spent in meetings and responding to emails.

It's already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.

The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.

Given the publicity, I'm sure that they'll catch a guy, but I'm skeptical that they'll catch that guy.

This is literally the first I’ve ever heard of it.

I doubt I’m the only one and I’m sure that at least contributed to the problem.

Oncall shifts should not exist and their ubiquity is the most clear cut sign that software developers need a union.

No software developer should ever be responding to issues outside of their regular working hours.

If 24x7 support is actually critical (hint: for most products it absolutely is not), then staffing weekend and overnight shifts to provide that support is also critical.

If a company isn’t willing to do that then they’re really admitting that after hours support isn’t actually that important.

I watched all the seasons.

It was kind of poetic that a show about a submarine went so far off the deep end.

Thanks for linking to the video. There is an auto translate option for it buried deep in the CC settings (at least there was for me).

My impression that I was left with is that the guy speaking is basically panicking because he doesn’t want to look bad.

My reaction is “Good. Let the bastards squirm!”

The German government has gone out of their way to silence any opposition to genocide. Fear of looking like a Nazi is the closest they will come to self awareness.

Yes, you absolutely do get Copyright protection: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Kingdom (see the section on “Qualification for protection”)

You don’t get property rights over the physical object, but you automatically get copyright protections on the work itself.

Those are completely separate things and there’s no reason they would be tied together.

This is correlation and not necessarily causation, but it does line up with an important argument for DEI programs.

The argument is that DEI programs are for raising the bar; not lowering it.

This is based on the assertion that ability is equally distributed across different groups but opportunity is not. If you take that as a given then it stands to reason that overrepresentation of one group over others would be caused by less capable members of the overrepresented group being favored over more capable members of the other groups.

So, raising the bar would correct for that and result in greater diversity.

That being said, whether or not the test itself is biased would play a critical role in whether or not you actually see that corrective effect.

You can tell that transgender women are women because Republicans are obsessed with taking their rights away.

Their plan is to claim that the children of undocumented immigrants are somehow not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and therefore not granted citizenship based on the 14th amendment.

Yes, it really is as stupid as it sounds; claiming that undocumented immigration gives your descendants the equivalent of diplomatic immunity.
