How can you not conflate language and culture? The two are inseparably intertwined. While not all people who speak the same language (or more likely, dialects of it, e.g. American vs British vs Indian English) will have extremely similar

That's funny, I knitted too when I was a kid. It didn't last very long either. I think I was about 8 years old. I have to agree: if you like something, you just do it. But I guess a lot of people just can't bear to do anyt

You don't have to live in a major tech hub to be a programmer. Programmers are employed all over the country. They'll generally get a lot more money in tech hubs, but you don't have to go there. Now, you probably won&#x2

Speaking personally, I have a bunch of interests outside of work, many of which do not involve a keyboard. However, I also have an interest in programming projects, though I don't get as much time as I'd like to pursue them. Why

Sorry, but that makes no sense. The used-car dealerships giving people crappy high-interest loans are not affiliated (nor are their lenders affiliated) with the new-car dealerships giving people 0% loans. What incentive is there to give s
