66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
Somehow I doubt those 66% of Americans will bother voting for the people and parties that would make this happen though.

Open source devs: please, please add screenshots...
There's an awful lot of comments in this post from people complaining that developers aren't making their projects attractive and user friendly enough, or the READMEs descriptive enough.
Can I just say, as a developer with some open source projects on github, I don't care; you're not my intended audience.

Maybe I'm missing your point, but which senators in particular are relevant to the UK?

[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
Maybe you should organise a community run ISP instead?
They're quite common where I live, although I don't use one myself. I still only pay 400sek for unlimited 500/500.

No they definitely don't like to be humiliated, they probably feel that a lot more deeply that non-narcissists. But at the same time, they lack the self-awareness that would help them avoid getting into situations that would lead to humiliation.

Thank you, you've rather made my point for me by erroneously assuming I was referring to either of those two parties

Seeds of Sovereignty – Exploring the Unstoppable Trajectory Towards Welsh Independence
Reply in thread
The UK won't rejoin the EU for many years, the public demand and political capital just isn't there yet. but it could join EFTA much more quickly and easily, and that would solve almost all the "in-out" border issues facing the Scottish and Welsh independence movements.
In fact, the prospect of an independent Scotland rejoining the EU might well even help speed the EFTA process along for rUK.

We need to talk about the ECHR.
I agree it's an important topic, but literally nothing makes me less want to engage on a topic then when someone says "we need to talk about X"
Just say what you want to say, OP. I'll decide for myself what I need to talk about, thank you.

What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?

Irrelevant. The question you should ask instead is: how many of those things will still be in use in 15 years.

You mean you think I'm being derisive? I think it's important to remind people that not every open source dev shares their priorities, or indeed any interest whatsoever in whether other people use their code.
This whole post is filled with a really disappointing amount of entitlement and lack of self-awareness.

That's quite an accusation. Can you elaborate further on that please.
