Your company sucks. I’ve used slack at four workplaces and it’s not been at all like that. A previous company had mailing lists and they were toxic as you describe. The tool was not the issue.
The details are messy but on the surface it’s simple: women are generally better at friendships. Many men are socially dependent on women because they can’t manage close friendships, so they desperately look for a partner instead.
In no world is anyone wasting resources to run an AI model to parse a page that may or may not include an email address. Even running a DOM parser is more than they’d typically do. This is silly.
And you can buy individual cards in arena. You can buy wildcards in the store and redeem them for any card of the corresponding rarity. They’re stupid overpriced in many cases but you can’t say it’s not possible.
Stalking is way more common than successfully recovering items with a tracker like this. It’s usually a bad idea to even try. I followed a tracker into someone’s yard only to discover that the thief had thrown the tracker over the fence and I was just trespassing.
Their comments I’ve seen are vague enough that we’re all trying to read between the lines and infer what they means. Your reading makes sense, and maybe that’s it, but the specifics are important and I’ve seen other plausible speculation too. They really need to be clear about what happened if they don’t want to take a giant reputational hit from this. Nobody ever got fired for choosing AWS.
I think changing the behaviour of nil in general for an existing language with tons of code already in the world would be beyond insane, on the verge of willfully destructive. Fortunately, that’s not what as happening here. This only applies in the case of using nil as a splat, which is narrow enough that I think it’s probably safe and it’s a sensible default behaviour.
I can’t understand what you mean at all. How does it make programming more robotic? I feel more empowered to be creative when I know I can get things back to a valid state if I break them too badly.
For personal projects I often just use an alias that commits in my project directory with no commit message. There’s no burden to it. Sometimes I might choose to do a detailed merge commit to add a description for a batch of changes once I’ve settled on something I like, but usually I don’t bother if I’m not going to be working with others.
