Running tons and tons of VS instances while debugging broken, memory hogging programs, modifying the XML for weird project types for third party plugins poorly, etc. Things that MS really can't do anything about.

I know there's a strong VS counterjerk, but nothing else comes close. I've been using it for years and all of its crashes have been 100% my fault. I know IntelliJ is great, and JetBrains in general rocks, but it's no contest.

Right, but this way to check your messages, you pick your phone up and interact with it constantly. That's good for Apple.

For those looking for more information, the practice is in particular making one very strong bag with a lot of fentanyl, so that a single user overdoses or dies. The idea is other users will then buy your product, thinking it's better

Affirmative Action is absolutely an issue for Asians, but I agree it doesn't really do much to white people.

That makes a great deal of sense, as there's no obvious benefit to the data you would get from a compromised Spotify. Older people also use the word "hacked" to mean a too-wide set of things, from "broken" to "

At least in Urban Planning, and certainly in software engineering it's definitely not a joke.

This seems like a very big deal for a lot of very poor people - a Bolivian friend keeps in touch with his family there entirely by WhatsApp. I wonder how much this will actually increase the userbase, especially in the Third World.

Yeah, I would never work there after reading this. This makes it look like a place where passive-aggressively policing behavior is common. I'm not even one to say racist or do sexist things! This just smells ... bitchy I guess?

Does no one remember how negative everyone was at the height of the boom in 2007? We look back on that period as a time of incredible prosperity, but I remember it was basically the same as today: everyone complaining about everything.

Don't you risk building up pharmaceuticals in the soil around the forest pipes? What a weird world.

Noam Chomsky doesn't have the answer. You'd need a PhD on the subject of a single conflict in order to talk about it with authority. He does not have that, though he is a gifted linguist. You're talking about conflicts that l

Why does any discussion around the Middle East produce incredibly shallow, edgy comments? It's incredibly, incredibly, incredibly complicated stuff, and the discourse is all soundbites.

I deeply get your point, but to step away from the metaphor, usually the problem of shitty code is a lack of focus on continual refinement instead of adding features, which is a management/process problem. If you have a serious problem

When my room is dirty, I clean it. When it's really dirty, I pay a professional to clean it. I don't burn my house down and start over.

Twitter seems angrier and more prone to witchhunts than the others. Gamergate/Justine Sacco/whatever seem like they're more likely to happen when the boundary between chatting with friends and public statements is blurry. I f

Does that actually happen though? I feel like it's more common to get emails to my personal email address from people that I've given it to as I've left jobs, than it is to get LinkedIn messages. I use LinkedIn for two things

Not even all of the other boroughs, either. Eastern Queens and Staten Island basically require a car, and so those two counties have much higher rates of vehicle ownership than the rest of the city. Brooklyn, Western Queens, and the Bronx a

Social Media, and in particular Twitter, is eerily reminiscent of the two minutes of hate. What are we outraged about today? Game journalists? BLM? Headdresses? Benghazi?

Centralized operators have much better economies of scale and are able to specialize in fields that are non-core to other industries, like security.

Because they stay out of the limelight, and quite literally, no one sees how incompetent they are. I know its possible to do the same at colocated organizations, but I've only seen it at very, very large companies where no one gives a

100% virtual companies, especially 100% virtual consulting companies, can end up with incompetent people who "hide" successfully for years, and make the culture worse. They also miss out on that subtle competition that makes you b

That's basically what happened with the discovery of the new world - maintaining control with slow communication and inability to project power over the seperating distance doesn't really work
