Yes. But the Microsoft of today is a much different company than twenty years ago. They have completely different leadership. Is it fair to judge them still for then?

Are you committing your libs? If yes, you probably shouldn't. If no, then GitHub is only calculating your actual js LOC.

Always use a clean workspace.

I don't see how this is better than

var query = sql(`select * from user where id=${id}`);

iirc, icloud was written in sproutcore. version 2 of sproutcoure became ember which is now in version 3. there was no upgrade path from sproutcore 1 to ember, so likely its a case of needing a rewrite and that not being prioritized.

What's curious about that is if this is solely a first world problem, then it should be easy to compare our sperm counts to that of men in 2nd/3rd world countries. The lack of that data in this article is troubling.

I've always found this a strange statistic. My children bring me greater joy and satisfaction than anything else I've ever done in my life and my relationship with my wife has only strengthened.

Have you ever tried just chewing gum when you have reflux? From what I can tell it causes you to continuously generate and swallow saliva which keeps the reflux down until you've digested.

I have a heital hernia and this works well for me (and got my wife through some tough episodes during pregancy).

Only if you never listen to new music. CDs cost around $10, which is your Spotify sub cost per month. Imagine only listening to one new album every month.

Yes but if they give you RSUs, which is probably the case in a publicly traded company, then typically >1/3rd are sold by etrade or whoever to pay those taxes. IE you don't really have to deal with this.

Now you DO have to worry about the taxes on capital gains. I recently had to deal with this because I sold my RSUs on the day they vested, thought the 3rd that auto-sold covered me, but didn't realize the .88 cents that the stock rose in the hour before I sold the stock qualified as cap gains and I needed to deal with declaring it. Short term cap gains in this situation basically is just your standard tax rate.

If you don't need the money and you think the company's stock is going to do decently over the next year then holding on to your shares for a year to get to long term cap gains isn't necessarily a bad idea. Depends on the company.

Totally agree with this.

And if you have subscription fees that are reasonable.
