My partner’s family has been financially struggling a long time (way before I even entered the picture). Their parents frequently ask for money (which at times can be their entire weeks paycheck).
As we develop our relationship, I’m starting to become concerned with our future. Eventually, mone...
The Winter Bash is back and the hats are listed below.
As always, there are only two answers: one for the secret hats, and one for the regular hats. The secret hat list will be updated as we learn them.
Only edit the secret hat answer with definitive and correct triggers. This is not the place ...
Love this answer! Bonus points if you can get the sub-conversation in English about learning their language. Even short term this has a lot of positive effects to be included. You're showing interest in their culture, you're learning (slowly) to understand them, it's one of the friendliest way to remind them you cannot participate in their conversation in their native tongue and it can cause great laughs when you accidentally use swearwords in the language! — Imus2 mins ago
I've been getting a lot of spam phone calls. Today I had one from a strange number (started with 1188). When I said hello the person asked to speak to me by name. I confirmed it was me speaking, but the rest of call was so strange I'm concerned it may have been some scam.
Is there a polite way ...
@CaldeiraG Yeah, it's technically a typed superset of javascript, but before it ever runs it gets translated into javascript, so it's really more of a glorified linter
also could a mod just delete a whole load of comments on this question, there are so many bad comments that don't add anything and have no place on IPS
Hi! My age-old answers don't seem to meet new site policies anymore (people comment on them). I don't want to be involved with IPS, so could the mods here be so kind and just delete all of my answers? This should solve all problems. Thank you!

@AnneDauntedGoFundMonica If you don't want to be involved with the site as a whole, it might be easier to just ask for your IPS account to be deleted?
we don't mass-delete answers. answers that were flagged and don't have backup, but were posted prior to enforcing backup policy, we'll put post notices on but not mod-delete
So, my coworker brought up an interesting point in her lunch and learn that I hadn't considered before. When she was talking about things that we can do to be more inclusive she mentioned having a growth mindset. She compared it to the mindset that the company has about growth in other areas. It's fairly well accepted at my current company that it's fine to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and work to be better in the future.
She talked about taking the same approach to inclusion. Specifically, that nobody is expecting that we be perfectly inclusive, just that when we do things that aren't inclusive, we learn from those situations to improve so that we are more inclusive in the future.
Yeah it is. I know that when the topic of inclusion comes up I often feel like there's a lot of pressure to be perfect. One thing she mentioned is that a lot of people feel like they can't come forward and ask for help on how to be inclusive because of that.
yeahh. context is really important, too.. a lot of the "I'm scared to even ask questions now" stuff I see kind of neglects that, say, posting a bunch of questions on a random social media post is different from talking with your friend who you have a close relationship, which is also different from asking someone who is explicitly interested in helping educate others..
I was rebasing my code and missed one of the conflicts when I was resolving the merge and accidentally checked a git diff in to my branch. I think I'm ready for the holidays

@Mithical I had always suspected there was a tiny little gremlin inside of my computer doing all of that math on a chalkboard. Thanks for confirming :)
The gender-neutral honorific “Mx” has its own entry in the OED since August 2015, so no one can argue it doesn't exist. According to The Sunday Times, central and local governments have been quietly using this [mysterious] honorific in their documents and forms for at least two years. British go...
Every year since I turned 18, my older brother has given me a 3-pack of condoms for my birthday with a note that says, "Maybe this year, loser."
The first time it happened, I just kind of laughed it off. But I just turned 22 this year, and he is still doing this.
What makes this particularly st...
