The Irish name selection on this site is totally bogus. Apparently Cody, Jacqui, and Kelsi are Engish & Irish feminine names. Those are not even Hiberno-English names.
I think alternative sleep schedules are like alternative medicine. If they were actually feasible and beneficial, they would be commonplace, and even recommended. Especially considering how often posts like this come up here, there is obviously a high level of interest.
This was the model back in the 2000s before monetization was big on the internet. This is really the key issue, not whether RSS feeds or dead or if it is too hard for people to self-host blogs.
The internet has changed a lot in the last ten years. People have realized that popular content has a big monetary potential, and it is far easier now to get compensated (remember when YouTube content creators couldn't monetize?). More content is created as a income source, than out of passion or interest. Search results are gamed by commerical blogs. The average hobby blogger can't compete with that.
Seriously, the poster is going to have to host their files somewhere eventually if they intend anyone else to ever see it. I can't believe they rewrote all their JS because they were forced to access over http:// instead of file://. This seems nonsensical.
I disagree, since the 90s in Ireland every convenience store big enough to have a deli counter has been selling Cuisine de France baguettes. Usually as the popular breakfast roll or chicken fillet roll. They are mass produced and crispy, they are cooked in store by staff with no special training.
I feel like the number one motivating reason is having a significant other who has a different native language. This also makes it a lot easier to make progress because you basically have your own tutor who is also motivated to patiently listen to your struggles.
As a woman the opportunity to wear clothes just for their warmth and comfort is something I will never turn down. Being able to wear pyjamas was definitely one of the top things about working from home. Men don't have the same issues of unpractical clothing and being judged on their appearance.
It makes me deeply depressed that real estate is huge right now, many more people than ever are renting and we still have to deal with Craiglist scams to find a place to live. Ignoring the fact that the last ten years of UX seems to have passed Craiglist by, it's unbelievable that such a huge site has the absolute minimum of fraud prevention. There are so many comments on here about various kinds of CL scams, why does a trusted marketplace for rental housing not exist?
I really thought this was going somewhere until I got to the punchline: the expectation that having online identity linked to real identity will reduce toxicity. Real names policies have already been tried by several huge social networks and don't seem to be having any impact.
In California property taxes are not re-evaluated when a property changes hands by inheritance. So, they really aren't paying anything close to the actual value.
FB's solution to unsolicited messages and spam was basically to make messages from non-friends totally invisible. I wouldn't really call it a dark pattern, but they have broken the ability to send messages to anyone who is not your friend. It's pretty much a spam filter with with one binary parameter. It's just lazy.
I don't find it that surprising, if the children were never registered as living at that address, why would there be any reason for the authorities to take an interest? It doesn't sound like any of them worked, so they didn't owe any taxes. What is more surprising is how the father managed to support them for so many years.
You sound like an outlier, I routinely interview senior engineers applying to Google and a massive majority do not pass the coding test. I would say half are not even in the ballpark of passing.
They are paying their engineers to conduct interviews, write feedback, and sit on hiring committees. The hiring process is hardly free for them either.
