I'm still stuck on this point. Would you expect a kind response, even in public, if someone overheard you talking to friends and just said "Language."? Now take that and move it to social media which is hardly a public space where manners are the norm.
He made an error here and clearly he feels guilty about the way he addressed it.
I don't disagree at all about the language used - really childish and shows a lack of discretion.
I do stand by my feelings on people saying one word and expecting anything besides annoyance or being ignored. Why should I take the energy to research a person if they can't be bothered to type something more clear.
For you this is true since you're fully aware of the context, but if you're being flooded with thousands of notifications and someone just inserts themselves with a single word "Language" I would imagine many people would react in a similar manner.
If he had said, "I work with NASA and your language here is inappropriate" then we wouldn't have heard anything about the incident. He approached this poorly.
I'm having trouble following my own thoughts on this one.
- Posts about an exciting thing to online friends with the word Fuck - This is ok.
- Random person inserts themselves into the conversation trying to be a moral compass - Good intentions, but not ok.
- tells person to suck dick and balls - Not ok.
So, while the offer was rescinded due to the mob mentality of Twitter following up on this exchange, I would definitely have second thoughts on hiring someone if that's their go-to attitude.
In the end, I'm glad one stupid tweet didn't ruin this person's life, but I hope it's a wake up call that there is no wall between online and offline.
Amazon has almost all of them, all the way back to the first episode. We subscribe to PBS kids (through Amazon) for our daughter, but I'm not sure if that's required for the Mr. Rogers series.
Really nice update as a developer. As a user, I still can't use any browser that doesn't have something like [self destructing cookies](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destruct...). Cookies are just way too sticky and invasive, and turning them off breaks just about every site.
Maybe this is true at Google, but I just don't see much demand for s/Web Components/Custom Elements.
