I don't like it either, but yes they still do (although to be fair it is getting rarer by the day). One thing to keep in mind though, is that if it's a reputable place there isn't reall…

I like this solution the best because it is the least intrusive. Before the waiter brings the bill, put your phone on the table so it's ready when they arrive with the bill. No need for the waits…

Did you "accept all changes"?

A lot of wisdom and virtue in this comment; I appreciate that.

Yes, thank you for sharing a link to the PDF. I see you are familiar with the literature. Yesterday I posted a couple of screencaps pointing to this: https://x.com/wyclif/status&#…

This is absolutely correct—I remember quite clearly how it all went down. When Twitter first rolled out verification, it was supposed to ensure that the person you were following or interacting with w…

Also not a Roman Catholic, but there were some good things about Pope Francis that I could appreciate, particularly his very Augustinian take on reason and the restlessness of the heart found in his l…

It looks like the links are broken to the software engineer and DevOps open roles.

As one of the wealthiest planets in the galaxy, I'm sure it did because of Magrathea's exceptional central planning infrastructure.

Is shellcheck written in Haskell?

Maybe I'm just out of touch because I haven't done taxes by hand for years, but 10 to 15 hours? After I read your first sentence, I seriously expected you to say 2-3 hours. I don't do…

I also say 'dot you ess' and I was born in the USA.

Americans inexplicably re-elected a wildly incompetent conman to be president In fact, this was totally and easily explicable after the dominant political party tried to convince Americans that th…

Yes, that manages to be both super annoying and condescending at the same time.

I'm a long distance hiker. As far as water filters go, the Sawyer Squeeze is a great choice. But—and this is important—do NOT get the Sawyer Mini to save weight/space. Get the full-sized one…

If anyone here has only worked in the EU and wants to see what the US layoff process is supposed to be on a good day, just watch the movie Margin Call and the scene where Eric Dale is called into th…

Who are they going to sue in that scenario? They can't go after every user who pays with a throwaway card.

But here's what I don't understand about this: wouldn't that be the company revoking the offer, not the employee? If the company revokes the offer or has "exploding offers" or…

What do you mean by "reneging on an offer"? Do you mean simply turning down an offer? How is that a blacklistable offence?

Really depressing to think about, as one who has never tried to game the system.

I think Colossal is betting on the fact that the general public will fall for sensationalism of this sort because of the low level of biology knowledge. This story makes me think Colossal is rather be…

The output of the command the OP mentions $ /usr/bin/rsync –version ...doesn't return anything referencing openrsync. I'm on Sequoia 15.3.1.

Yes, though I understand Kobo is working on correcting these issues with the epub format.

Fortunately, I had them backed up to a cloud folder. I remember almost deciding not to go to the trouble to back them up, but isn't that how it always works with backups? The Kobo also works with…

A Kobo would be a great choice. I use a Kobo Libra 2 and love it a lot more than my old Kindle Paperwhite that got stolen: https://gl.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-2 The Kobo…
