So you being poor is justification enough to spread divisive comments and fuel further hatred (on either side)?

Garbage comments like yours are what perpetuate the rift between the Asian/White (what I refer to as the "upper-class") super majority in tech and the infinitely smaller minority that are brown people and women in tech. I&#x2

As an immigrant to this country it feels good to pay my taxes every year. It's the least I can do for everything this country has done for me and my family.

The fact that Dropbox DOESN'T throw the data away makes the point that they are taking your data hostage as leverage to get you to pay, and maybe even pay more over time. As for your own analogy, if you abandon your property during an

The biggest problem with XML is verbosity. Besides the excess complexity it also add bits over the wire to transmit all that extra crap. JSON is king.

Goodbye Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citi, and the rest of the credit cartel! You will never be missed. Hello Wealthfront, Robinhood, Simple, and the rest of the movers and shakers!

People have forgotten how to train their core social and psychological skills like resilience and confidence. Unfortunately, these are not things we are born with or can code our way out of. These are things we have to train very hard at si

Didn't Steve Jobs say something about B players should only be hiring A players? Cause we all know if you start hiring C players they will just start hiring D players and so forth. The Bozo Explosion he called it.

I'm guessing the mind likes a change of context even if it's doing basically the same thing.

Don't forget the overhead that comes with the ORM framework as well. I happen to be of the opinion that ORMs are good for prototyping and very small data models and one-off type projects but not for big leagues, production ready code.

The Navy could evacuate the entire island with one aircraft carrier and a few trips to Miami. Our leaders just do not have the will to do so.

It was brilliant for her to tell Trump to step it up on national TV - that was the only way he would focus his complete attention on Puerto Rico instead of spending all his time on Twitter stroking his broken ego over his fallout with the N

That's an interesting turn of events. I was always told to use open source because it is safer (due to it being available publicly and all), but is it really safer to expose every bit of detail to all gov, grey, white and would-be blac

Unless they can explain to their shareholders what the benefit of that overwhelmingly long-term investment will be I don't see it happening. Maybe after SpaceX becomes a massively profitable company in the same vein as the tech giants,

I love this. Simplicity and speed is what I fight for everyday at work but it seems I am the odd man out in my field. Everyone just wants to write over-engineered solutions that can launch space rockets with extra extra modularization you k

In code I define beauty as the ability to do a lot with just a little. Simplicity while at the same time providing robustness is what gives me this feeling. E=mc^2 is considered the greatest equation in history because of this reason. It ma

I think people like to dissect this too much. Your instincts, after millions of years of evolution, tell you all you need to know about a person. There is nothing "kind" about Linus, Bezos, Jobs, or even Gates for that matter. Gra

I don't get it, so why can't they just put a $2 bolt lock on the release mechanism (the big handle thing) while in-flight and call it a day? What am I missing here?

Disney, instead of using fancy "wait in line" tech just stop shoving so many people into the park. Problem solved.

A bank account is usually only part of the financial equation. What would really be useful is an API for a service like Mint. I'd even be willing to pay a low fee for someone to make available all the aggregate data from all the financ

The only place I ever actually coded for 8 hours straight was a place in which I loved the work and I actually felt valued on a day to day basis. During crunchtime (which only happened once or twice every few months) my manager would wait a

You did the right thing by leaving the experience on your resume! It's your experience, not theirs. Also by standing up to these bullies in the tech industry who think having lots of brains and very little compassion for others is some

The CS degree column seems to confirm that as well. More proof that you don't need to hand over a small fortune to some college to succeed at what we do on a day to day basis. The industry should have a better indicator of who is a &qu
