Is it just me, or does the writer need to learn how to properly weave sarcasm into a story? I found it hard to read, for some reason. And really, he was able to learn that much from one code review? That the guy keeps to himself, is competitive, and avoids meetings? Or did the story weaving fail again?
I wouldn't want to work here either. It doesn't sound like the "newbie" was given any coding standards, the senior seems to think they are not necessary because his way is "the way". And besides, I'm not fond of meetings either, which makes me a newbie.
Anyway, from my personal experience, my personal wealth rate of change was definitely negatively affected by the housing market, due to increase in valuations, which turned into a significant increase in real estate taxes.
I live in one of those places (Austin) where my house valuation jumped by 120% YoY.
I use it as well, the UI is a little cheesy and windows XPish (at least to my eyes). Maybe there is a technical limitation preventing it from inheriting the browser theme.
I thought cnn was already free to stream on networks such as plutotv. (https://pluto.tv/en/live-tv/cnn). I don’t know if it is a full stream or highlights though, since I never actually watched it. I use Pluto mostly for Bloomberg.
The problem is, you are only "this" far away from Apple engineers and third parties perusing your private photos due to a photo that triggers false positives.
Our family was like that. We had every single device version up to iPhone 11.
Then Apple bent to the will of the Chinese government and removed apps used by HK protesters. I don't live in Hong Kong, and I'm not affected, but it was a red flag (no pun intended).
Then they bent to the will of the new US administration, removed Parler, and threatened Telegram. I use neither, but again, red flag.
Now this. Textbook definition of hypocrisy, maybe?
We were in a holding pattern on Apple upgrades since the HK decision, and now we are two generations behind on iPhones, and (I think) four generations behind on iPads. The thought of upgrading and giving Apple more money is not appealing to any of us, so we'll keep our current devices for as long as they work, while searching for an exit from the Apple ecosystem.
It's just anecdotal, and I'm sure Tim Cook won't lose sleep over losing three iPhone and three iPad sales.
Law, order, morality.. those are things defined by a democratically elected legislative branch, and enforced by the judiciary branch, not by rich suits in closed off board rooms.
In my mind, this is just a cooperation between law enforcement and big tech to get around the 4th amendment protection.
We're going through a period of history of where we're asking the question who controls whom: do governments control corporations or do corporations control governments? A lot of people want governments to be able to control corporations since many governments are beholden to their citizens, whereas corporations are not.
> Law, order, morality.. those are things defined by a democratically elected legislative branch, and enforced by the judiciary branch, not by rich suits in closed off board rooms
I'm confused - you complain about "rich suits in closed off board rooms" making decisions (corporations control governments), yet you also complain about Apple "bent to the will of the Chinese government"? Well, which way do you want it? Who do you want to control whom? You can't have it both ways.
Depending on the code, it can be freaking hard to track down what that 'i' means, especially when someone writes a coding standard (or a language) where it requires all variables to be defined at the beginning of the function instead of close to location of use.
on the other hand, if it was named something like number_of_records it would be clearer.
I like colourlovers.com as well. Feels more organic, less engineered. And those palettes are easier to use, since they are reduced down to a theme, rather than having a 20 color palette with no overarching theme.
That is just me speaking as a non-designer. It's much easier for me to say... go in and find a theme for Cinquo de Mayo in Color Lovers, then try to infer it from these flat palettes.
