the point is that it was identified as an area of change at all, when given the reasons for doing so it is completely vacuous and existing in the absence of other change, but being used to satisfy a checkmark of change and self-congratulate.
Rising costs of housing is, almost entirely, due to the fact that individuals are allowed to own more houses than they can use, while most people don't own any. It seems fairly obvious that if you control the housing market, a human need, you can set prices as high as they will possibly pay them.
Yup. I'm not deeply familiar with the situation and circumstances but it sounds like this person should be very well compensated for what they did.
The amount of free skilled labor businesses benefit from and abuse while not donating back to society is laughable. It's great they helped the GTA 5 community and a fun read but keep your pride and fame, I'd take cash anyday over a pat on the back.
I'm sure there's a better reason, but I honestly think a major factor for why people think this stuff is important is because Conway called it 'the game of life', and it was a pretty early discovery in computer science. It was basically a recipe for sci-fi imagination and headlines, leading some people to believe this is literally a program about generating cellular life.
I guess all business/project/hobby websites should shut down then? Your website won't get very far at all when most people rely on google's search results, browser, and email service.
It is a modest trial of a four day work week. You are so far from disaster. This can only be a good thing, if it doesn't work they stop doing it, but probably it will work because people are more productive when they have time to breath.
Spaniards don’t appreciate research, we only nod when solutions sprout out of the blue.
In fact, less work hours will be a complication for many -as they are used to justify the work done by sitting for extra-hours at their desk. It’s sad, but it’s also my daily routine.
> This term came from Bitkeeper, a predecessor to Git. Bitkeeper referred to the source of truth as the "master repository" and other copies as "slave repositories".
In all of the previous discussions of this topic, I have never seen this simple fact pointed out. To me, this is a definitive argument for changing the name. If the facts had been different, I might have seen the matter differently, but if these are the facts then the name change makes sense.
I'm not sure about the accuracy of this quote. In git world branch names have nothing to do with repositories. If anything, the "source of truth" repository is generally called "origin".
Turns out the meaning can change over time. I'm confident the number of people using a master branch and the people owning slaves and thus being slave masters is zero.
Otherwise, one would probably soon need a list of banned words that may have been used in the past in "controversial" context so to not offend anyone. But I'm not sure how much of human language will remain at this point.
A master's degree[note 1] (from Latin magister) is an academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.
The holders of a Master's degree are expected to be the "source of truth", as much as git's master branch is the "source of truth".
There has not been a gross over-usage of the word exploit in the past 10 years. See google trends, the word's usage is trending downward. Its peak was actually around 2005.
