   I love this statement (maybe I shouldn't). Being an Army vet transitioning to software, it was difficult for me to understand why people come in late and complain about having to work too early (9:30 being early is quite laughable). I

   I have a very similar experience. I found that developing a routine of exercise is the only thing that has helped me with anxiety and depression. As a side effect, when you have a busy schedule, and you commit to working out in the morning

   Not all heroes wear capes sir. Thank you for not supporting the problem. Edit: Thanks for the down votes for expressing thanks. Would expect nothing less.

   Same holds true with gambling. For instance, the 'smart' poker players think that the odds will even out. However, they rarely take the time scale into account. Sure, your luck will get better (it may take more time than you'

   I wish I could upvote this more than once. Reminds me of one of my old Army SSG. Simply, do the right thing.

    Exactly, what if ETH dropped to 1$? I am sure they would want their USD back.

    And not even one mention of man pages... That is was my main resource for learning new (remembering old) commands. Maybe it's out of date now due to google, but if you're already in the terminal man is the way to go. Also, I feel

    It's too bad we can't legislate morality. As long as politics is in bed with corporate interests the bigger bank roll wins. Legality != Morality

    This is exactly where my code base was about 11 months ago. We just got a new hire and he commented on how nice the code was (Should have saw it 11 months ago haha). It all started with linter config, piece by piece it started looking bette

    I always wonder what a better solution than capitalism is. It's not perfect, and it's pretty broken when politics and corporate interests are in bed together. However, we're seeing the ill effects of socialism (Venezuela) lik

    So much this. I've tried to 'out work' everyone my whole career/life. All that has change recently when I had a baby girl. All we really have is time, so spending it with my daughter has become more of a priority. Instea

    The real problem is that we don't have a free market. Businesses strategies are too often to lobby for favorable legislation to sink their competition rather than make a better product and let the market decide.

    So true, it's always "us" vs "them". When you take out political tribalism, most rational people can accept others positions/beliefs without hate emerging. In the end we're all just people on a rock floati

    Casinos also do things like add 6-7 decks to a shoe where each additional deck gives the house an additional edge. If they have a continuous shuffle machine the odds don't swing (in favor of the house/player), due to a constant pr
