This is a huge issue in my part of Canada right now. All those Cannabis greenhouse have illuminated the sky. I live north, away from the big cities and used to be able to see the night sky. Now, all I can see is orange and purple glows. Tho

I'm from French Canada and I could easily imagine someone being in the US and saying "I am from Louisiana" while actually meaning "my ancestors are in Louisiana".

Could it be a Canadian that drove to NY and then hiked west? That's a pretty common thing to do. I have a bunch of friends from college that are bouncing around the globe travelling on foot, picking fruits and doing farm-work when they

Having wore that title before, it means "developer who is able to build a JavaScript application and bring it to production". For me, this included doing UX/UI, the design, implementing web front-end (HTML, CSS, making sure i

"So, What Is White Privilege? White privilege is—perhaps most notably in this era of uncivil discourse—a concept that has fallen victim to its own connotations. The two-word term packs a double whammy that inspires pushback. 1) The wor

I agree that's it's far from perfect. Those companies with very narrow cultures should be more open to diversity and I strongly believe they would benefit from it. That being said, as a woman, that's a company I'd skip i

I think we are sharing a very similar viewpoint. What I meant by this is that you have to "fit" that culture and that by not "being" part of it you won't get hired even if you're trying your best.

I'd argue that those words are not feminine but merely less assertive. Women score higher on the agreeableness score[1] which is not a quality that is looked for in many industries - but they are not the sole owners of agreeableness. P

Why only make it one month's notice with a big countdown at the top of the website and pretty much daily emails? I have an email that says "Upgrade to Pro before your Applets are archived" and then one for 12 days remaining,

I usually try to get Sci-Fi books in hardcover (that's how I read all my first Sci-Fi and it stuck with me)... I'll make an exception for that one!

Out of topic... This book is really expensive as a hardcover! I had to look around to make sure it's not a glitch. It goes for $180-$374 on amazon.com and $630-$1222. $800 on ebay.com even! Woah. I'm guessing it's out of prin

I remember in the early 00's that people would share books and movies by using a simple command that would allow someone to zip an archive into a jpeg. For example, they would put a book's pdf file in an image of its cover. Someon

It's an entire different beast. In VR, you are "there" and simply pick up and move pieces instinctively with your hands.

Sure, but: > According to a 2011 study, 41.6% of adults in the US are deficient. This number goes up to 69.2% in Hispanics and 82.1% in African-Americans That's not exactly "most people". That's for the US where a lot

This really depends on where you are. For example, I live in Canada. In the winter, I only see the sun a few minutes a day. I start the workday in the dark and finish it after the sun has set. If I see the sun, I'm most likely while I&

I am glad people are finally looking in that direction. A lot of studies and media attention has been on death rates. This is useful at the start of a pandemic but now we need to look towards the future. Most of us will catch Covid-19 at so

This is it. Most structures just look like meat. It's easy to spot them on a 3D render where they are bright yellow. In real life, it's just different textures of meat with slightly different hues.

This is exactly my point. Make your own opinions about everything and don't let someone else's views demoralize you if they are irrelevant to you. :)
