I took this introductory passage to be the current tradition. The quoted bible passage makes it look like more of a mandatory thing:

[5] If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child […]; her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her.

[7] And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say: ‘My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me.’

[9] then shall his brother’s wife […] loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and […] say: ‘So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house.’

Deuteronomy 25 (Modern English)

What was particularly binary about the old mascot?

This seems to me a bit outside your usual family obligations

It was actually the law to do that, IIRC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yibbum

Just because there were no Catholics, that doesn’t mean that people weren’t violating some divine law (people also call it “natural law”). And unless you have a very specific meaning of “sin” in mind, there were absolutely “things you shouldn’t do or God will be angry”. Religion didn’t start with Jesus.

I don’t know who is password, or why is password, or when is password, but I do know where is password, and it’s out there!

Jesus, Buddah, Spongebob! I don’t have time to be picky!

Testurteil: „Befriedigend”

A little joke for the Germans.

To save people a click: ISO is 51200 (in layman’s terms: holy shit it goes this high?) and they still exposed for 1/4s (somewhat normal for low-light photography) at an aperture of f/2.8 (gaping hole).

No stars! They haven’t learned from their stupid mistake 60 years ago! /s

That’s why, in every new place I get, I strip naked and run around shouting GERONIMOOOO

I found that I do my morning exercise way more reliably than my afterwork exercise. I try to get 30 minutes in each session.

The biggest game changer, however, was not working 8 hours a day anymore. It also helps to have a boss who’s fine with delays, so you can extend the morning session if you feel like it.

I think I would’ve no—

Oh my!

I don’t see the commitment length? That info bubble is just an explanation of what they mean by “commitment”.

It even says so at the end of the bubble. What’s your point?

In this case the developer hasn’t designed this with the user in mind. Their rock is clearly too small for the user to sit on comfortably. Therefore it’s the dev’s fault.

Yeah, I thought that, too. But to be fair, I can’t think of any missing feature.

If you have htop installed, run it in a terminal and click, for instance, the column headers.

“This isn’t a bazaar. We don’t haggle over deadlines. We professionally estimate them.”

So what? If you weren’t consulted when the deadline was set, it’s not your problem. Have some balls and rip your bosses a new one when they pull bullshit like this. “That deadline was unattainable when it was set. Had our team been consulted, we could’ve worked on a solution. But since sales went over our heads, this is their mess to clean up.”
