If only it were that simple. "I bought a car yesterday" -- Did I buy a specific car?

'h𐑬se' and 'aut' - where 𐑬 is read as 'au' in RP, but as 'oy' in NI.
The downside is that the said alphabet would have more letters and it won't be always easy to guess the spelling based on pronunciation (still easier than currently in English), but the upside is that one can always read any word correctly in their accent.
It depends on the company. A few companies have a terminal level that is approximately equivalent to Dropbox's IC3/IC4. This level does not involve managing people, but it does require owning projects that can span across several teams.
I'm honestly not trying to nitpick, but the explanation "they do X because they can X" is not a good one. Being able to do X is a prerequisite for doing X, but it is not a sufficient condition. Why do they choose to, though? Perhaps, a part of it is vanity, but
> nothing to do with your skills
is a bit much. I might assure you, a FAANG interview requires certain skills[1], and it's easy to fail or be "downleveled" to a lower salary.
[1] - not to discourage anyone from trying to, you just need to put in some time and work.
- Yes, you can't rely on open-source project going in the same direction as you want.
- Yes, any process involving people has a phycological and interpersonal component.

I'm glad the author is not affected by the war, but I supposed it's fair to say that it is not hard for the author to stay unbiased (or it might be just indifferent).
To guarantee "only the first time", I suppose you need to have some kind of synchronization at some level.
It is definitely toxic and dangerous. Yet, we used a very light solution of it (I'm thinking <0.1%, a very light shade of purple) to cause vomit reflex.
I see a lot of people are going with `climb the ladder' + `have kids'. Others go for `side hustle' + `fitness`
That's funny: when I learnt this, I have encouraged myself to reply with a delay so that give people a chance to resolve problems on their own and generate less emails for future me to handle.

> The government recommends that free sugars – sugars added to food or drinks, and sugars found naturally in honey, syrups, and unsweetened fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies and purées – should not make up more than 5% of the energy (calories) you get from food and drink each day.
But even if the recommendation is added sugar -- what is the real difference between added and "natural" occurring sugar? Does this distinction invalidate my comment above? The point being that it's quite possible and even easy to consume several times, or even order above the reasonable amount of sugar by eating fruits. The apple is not even the sweetest one.
I don't have a citation either, but google search reveals the following points:
1) One serving, or one medium apple, provides about 95 calories, 0 gram fat, 1 gram protein, 25 grams carbohydrate, 19 grams sugar (naturally occurring), and 3 grams fiber. 2) Recommended amount of consumed sugar for an adult is 30 grams per day. 3) You can also find a lot of citations how increased sugar consumption increases chances of diabetes.
So two apples already gets you above the recommended amount. An apple is basically 80% sugar in terms of calories: 19 * 4 / 95 = ~80%
What is the meaning of 'scalable' here? Popular/widely-known?
In my (very poor) understanding, it 'caches' the information about monitor capabilities. I used it to prevent my laptop from rearranging windows when my monitor goes to energy saving mode.
I'm qualified to apply for a permanent residence in 4 months.
The worst thing is that if I get laid off, the 5-year clock resets, and it would waste almost 5 years.
Technically, it takes 45+ days to lay off someone. However, the application requires a letter from the employer to confirm I'm still needed at a job, which means the lay-off just a few days before the application could invalidate the application and has a potential to reset the clock.
