I'm not going to get bogged down in a "no true scotsman" fallacial argument. People define themselves by these terms and the terms are also widely used. If you can't figure them out, that's on you.

When was the last time a gay in your home town was actually strung up? How about a black man? As a direct contrast, the number of minorities in my little hometown has increased at a startling rate the past 3 years. People mumble and grumble

My grandfather used to say to me "all those books and all you do is eat the pages." He would usually say it after I would overthink something ridiculously simple, like righty tighty lefty loosey. He thought it was good that I went

Ditto. The left made the personal political, not the right. They're the ones who say we're not allowed to have jobs if we think the wrong thoughts or have the wrong opinions. Even the worst bible-thumping rednecks I know (many, ma

Is it so strange? If their engineering and security are poor, they wouldn't want that fact exposed by somebody outside the company. A reputation for poor engineering is the touch of death for a startup. Especially a bitcoin startup.

One of the benefits of software work is its asynchronous nature[0]. Unfortunately, it requires a certain amount of trust that engineers aren't extended in these days of Scrum micromanagement. If managers could get past that, imagine th

Why are you Qt averse? Is it the C++ or something to have to do with Qt itself?

Nationalism doesn't lead to wars, massacres and other oppression and brutality. That's tribalism leading to that. Tribalism is one of those built in human behaviors we have that we can't get rid of. People have tried with glo

All evidence points to the contrary. There's been a pendulum swing in the younger generations away from omnipresent technology such as mobile phones and facebook. It's a mistake to think all subsequent generations will march towar

Meh, I'm not so convinced. AR is certainly a great way to interact with real time information, but there's a time and a place for that. I don't want to be out at dinner and be interrupted with notifications while I'm hav

Are you in a position to name company names? Most everybody I interview with does this (at a minimum). I'd love to interview at a company that has a smarter system in place.

Do you have a link to the numbers? I'm curious about the actual costs, since what you're saying contradicts Shivetya. Without numbers and sources, I have no idea who's actually right.
