I remember growing up getting into scenarios like the Marshmellow Test, but I didn't learn to delay gratification; what I learned was I'm a sucker if I wait or make sacrifices. Often "you'll get two later if you surrender this one now" became "there is no second marshmellow and you're not getting the first one back." How many times do other kids have to experience this before they learn not to delay gratification? and thus get accused of "poor impulse control" when I'd call it "learning from experience" ?

"Statistical norms and cut-off values for other countries are currently being developed."

So, currently I can see how burnt-out I am compared to Flemmish office workers. Maybe there I'm a burn-out husk, but compared to American offices I'm an average employee.

The volume of "revolutionary new techniques" is exceeds our capacity to master each+all of them. I wonder what a https://killedbygoogle.com/ version of https://landscape.cncf.io/ would look like.

Recently it's become illegal to provide civil services in any language but French; this includes services that are government funded, like public libraries. There are four exceptions to this rule: you're First-Nations or Inuit, you arrived less than six months ago, you can provide proof you used English exclusively with the government before 2021, you can provide proof you are a student at an English-speaking school. There's also the warrantless search-and-siezure powers held by the Office Quebecois de la Langue Francaise (OQLF) where they can walk into any business unannounced and inspect your internal correspondence to make sure your employees are only using French. Employers who wish to hire an employee whose primary language isn't French must submit a written explanation to the OQLF as to why. Any companies with more than 25 employees can be asked by the OQLF to submit scheduled reports on how they are protecting use of French in their workplaces.

Ask wikipedia about "Pastagate"; things have become more severe since.

70k / $5k = two weeks of wages. This is not peanuts; think about how much you make in a month and setting fire to half of that.

I believe the metaphor of "poisonous chemical" has run away with you. Is it about the listener ingesting knowledge that is harmful ("grokking"), or is it about the speaker making a mistake and thus everything that speaker has done / will do is a mistake?

So they bought an oversized office space, provisioned it like a warehouse, in a location that is horribly expensive to live near or get to. Are they surprised employees would rather not go there?

Would it be better to ban all sarcasm or intentional irony? It's sending a message by using the opposite signal.

Odd. In Midori and Chromium, seems to work correctly. In Firefox, it appears crippled and I get 38 errors on the console -- SyntaxError, TypeError, ReferenceError -- including:

That's going to go terribly awry with today's mention of ISPs that inject their own code into HTTP responses. I mean, aside from the "inspecting the barrel of a loaded gun" factor.

I do wish the author described which 'ack' is being lauded. When I attempt to use 'ack' on my linux workstation the results are confusing.

    moses@deunan:~$ </etc/mime.types ack application x-ruby
