The entire employment system veers towards these biases. It's shown even in simple things like "you'll need to give us 10 minutes after you're supposed to be finished working this evening, but don't you dare consider taking 10 minutes off tomorrow".

I kind of like the idea from a few years ago, where there was a tagline under the logo of some web sites on every page, to explain what the site is.

The "tree" objects that git uses to track state, are they hash trees?

How would you synchronise between versioning the symlinked assets and the app itself? Or do you just keep all images, for example, until you're simply sure you don't need them anymore?

Exactly. You can choose what to put money into, over time.

True. I maintain a Windows virtual machine on Linux just to be able to use banking sites that require Java. the sites don't seem to ever work on Linux, even with the proprietary Java libraries installed.

Goalsontrack.com is one, it attempts to link your long-term goals with everyday tasks.

We struggle with our name: Bitesize Irish Gaelic.

It's a language learning tool.

The Irish language is called "Irish" in Ireland, but often "Gaelic" elsewhere (depending on who you're speaking with).

The name we've ended up with is a mouthful of a compromise :)

I don't know if there's a fix for that...

Even clicking through to the link, it loaded faster than I could Alt-Tab to the next window.

If an email was sent to a mailbox that wasn't being checked, it doesn't matter how many emails were sent. I don't know if it's the case, just guessing as one possibility.

Come to think about it, that's true. Often I'd click back, and the page would fully reload, and not bring me back to the same scroll position.
