Do you Scottish actually say the "pal" in "principal" as it's written? I.e., "PRINCE-i-pal"?

While you could get away with "Einshtein", though most folks would think you're pedantic, you really can't for words with less well-known origins. For example most people pronounce "hagiography" with a "hay" sound instead of a "haw" sound, as in Greek ἁγία (hágia). But if you said "hawgiography" people would think you don't know English.
A simple fix would be to use a tried and true method that's been effective for decades. Have different popups that read
Type "REAL WORLD" to send this alert.
and
Type "DRILL" to send this alert.
Meanwhile, my very well kitted-out MacVim is currently cruising along at 35.9MB.
Decentralized GitHub would synergistically leverage our existing cloud infrastructure to provide unprecedented collaboration that is open, robust, efficient, and focused.
Facebook and YouTube are happy to push their political views, so long as the consequences don't interfere too much with cash flow. As a secondary effect, they're happy to let you believe they're nonprofit-minded with profitable products -- and that's also good for business, as demonstrated in the negative by late-90s era Microsoft.

I disagree with this completely. So much of what JS does is increase the (perceived) speed and sanity of the user experience. For example, in a scriptless world, your HN up/down vote can't be done without a full page load, which would come with the added headache of changing the state of the world on your page because stories and comments have changed their ordering. Solution? Return of the chronological thread (no thanks).
And there are a lot of other applications in this same boat. I don't know if you are old enough to remember webmail when the refresh button was how you checked for new mail. I'd greatly prefer what we have now, where mail just appears over a socket. Online drawing/CAD apps or games without CSS and JS? Forget it. Or go back to Flash.
Bottom line, we have the ecosystem we do today because the users demand it. For us as devs, it could be better, more consistent, etc. but we need the capability.
Glorify God.
For many of us, Clojure(Script) is the right tool: a balance of performance, ecosystem interoperability, expressiveness, etc. on the platform we're targeting.
Thanking God doesn't indicate how something came about (decree or permission), only that God could have brought about something different and chose not to. Thus, any blessing, supernatural or natural, flows from the hand of God.
So if it takes half a fiscal year, depending on when you first say you need it, it can be much longer.
I'm always nervous when I see phrasing like this because it all depends on what you mean by "come before". For example, I would love to spend 40+ more hours per week with my family, but I don't. That doesn't mean I put work before my family, it means I love my family enough to provide for them.
Conversely, if I had a job that required 40 hours per week (objectives and culture wise) and I worked 80 hours for the fun of it, then this would be a clear case of putting work before my family. In that case, no, I shouldn't be doing it.
The question here is which category (if either) does this fall into? It seems as though the issue here is the employee had a non-disclosure condition of employment, which he violated. The "help" he provided his daughter may have helped her financially, though I suspect ego was the primary driver for both the employee and the daughter. As unpopular as it may be to side with the big-bad-company, I think Apple acted appropriately here.
Absolutely no one. I've been married for 11 years. My wife isn't perfect of course, but she's still pretty fantastic. She is my best friend, for which I'm thankful. I don't and won't gossip about her.
As a second- or third- hand observer, I can't count the number of times I've heard someone gripe about their spouse and felt sorry for them. Marriage, and relationships generally, are so much richer when you can either get over a minor injury without even mentioning it, or respectfully discuss a more serious one. I know it isn't "cool" to quote scripture around here but the Bible says "Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense." Amen.
Really? So if you can't have power, why bother not being poor? Having been below the poverty line and risen above it, this seems very bizarre to me, to say the least.
However, when my wife bought a chair on Wayfair, we didn't have any issues. I'd definitely do it again. It all depends on who you buy from.
Unless they make some significant technological strides, nations larger than Norway are going to take a serious economic hit.
1. The more technology involved, the more audio/video/telemetry is recorded and stored. If we shot somebody, there was ALWAYS a legal review afterward. Your average grunt doesn't face anywhere near that level of scrutiny (not saying they aren't scrutinized, just not to that extent).
2. Despite common preconceptions about military members, exaggerated by Hollywood and not a few knuckleheads, the majority of us are regular people. We have families and a dog, and we don't like to kill people. We do it because we believe it's our duty to keep you safe. Years later, we still cry about it. It's a heavy burden. The X-Box controller doesn't change that.
> Objectives can, ironically, be obstacles to innovation and creativity.
This, like much of the Zen worldview, is self-refuting. If objectives can be obstacles that leave me with only one eye on the path, then the new objective is just to focus on "the path" of innovation and creativity. My objective may have changed, but I still have an objective.
ETA: It's also illegal even if you are single but sleep with somebody who's married (whether the married person is military or not).
