I agree. The Reddit mods I've dealt with were nasty people.

California will never, ever, ever run short of water... unless the Pacific Ocean dries up. Cheap electricity will result in cheap desalination. The sky is not falling.

Why not tell them, "Newton and Einstein wrote documentation. How do you think we learned from them? Oh, and by the way, we fire developers quickly around here who don't document their code properly."

Bookmarks never worked for me. If I find something interesting I add it to an existing Google Doc, or create an new Google Doc for it. Google Docs are easy to search.

The problem in the US is fair distribution of income, not lack of production. In other words, we don't need to make more stuff. "When you are a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." This is faulty reasoning that probably

I'm not a dev. For me, OBS has generally been a confusing hassle to deal with because of its laughably bad UI/UX. The UI/UX needs simple English with pull downs so that users can form, gasp, simple English sentences which, of

Ammonia seems too dangerous. With cheap electricity from solar and wind, cheap hydrogen seems like a better answer. Sure, it's not a perfect answer, but it seems better because it seems much safer. As recently as approximately 200 year

First and foremost, it's unlikely that most professional authors would need to use another tool for writing in addition to Microsoft Word. I haven't used Microsoft Word in over a decade; I've been using Linux and Google Docs

Velomobiles are expensive. They are recumbent bicycles or tricycles with a fairing (a hard shell) that decreases drag and protects the rider from wind, rain, snow, etc. Last I checked they were around $5,000 to $10,000 (five thousand US do

I have actually used pseudonymity for some time. It works. It's not perfect, but I find it to be very useful. I fell into it out of necessity because formal legal contracts are often not feasible to enforce when you are paying some guy

From 2005 to 2015, Israel changed its entire water system by building desalination plants. Like Central and Southern California today, Israel used to issue similar dire warnings about freshwater supplies running dangerously low. These days,

Free speech isn't absolute, even where many inanely view it as sacrosanct and absolute: in "The land of the free and the home of the brave." (The USA). The classic example of forbidden speech, which I presume is still taught

Meh. Generally engineers are gainfully employed as engineers because a market exists for their skills and abilities. Instead of thinking, "I work for company A or B or C at the rate of, say, $X per year or $Y/hour." it's

I really did laugh out loud. Here: take your upvote. That reminds me of the saying, "The lottery is a tax on the stupid." To me, it's also reasonable to say, "Buying lottery tickets is a cry of the desperate." By th
