Little bit off-topic here, but there's almost 8 billion of us now. 7 billion was past a while ago and exponential growth continues.

Cor blimey. That is one heck of a whinge. What's the quote? Spotting problems without offering a solution is not criticism. It's called whinging ? The parenthesised argumentative additions to every wrong or right conclusion drawn

I really think you overshoot here on almost every point. The ones that stick out for me: * Not everyone has trained overseas. In the west/east bubble maybe that's common, but nowhere else. * You seriously try defending reading bom

Maybe I phrased it poorly, I didn't mean it such that all 40yo+ progammers are like this, likely just a coincidence that they are all 40+.

I can vouch for this completely. It's a pretty well ingrained idea, and I imagine for a reason, that skill and talent are useless without being able to interact with people well and with a good personality. At the place I work, most of

Most of the ideas from Mozilla here I kind of like. Decentralisation is a definite positive, and it is sad to see it being taken away by the ever-obvious tendencies of human nature to dominate and control. If you have any doubts, remember w

Doing shady business is not "testerone-y", it has nothing to do with genders. It's a business tactic, a scheme, etc.. > Unreadable this, unbeatable that, sailboats, fighter jets, etc. A company stating it's "unbe

Okay, but do you have any evidence or experience that Oracle is "testerone-y", nevermind "outwardly" so? To generalise an entire company, a kind of global one at that, as that, just comes of as incredibly bitter and ni

Rather daft comment. And these companies haven't "gone crazy". There is zero evidence for that. Also, exact quotas is discriminatory by definition . You are, by definition, hiring and/or not hiring somebody because of

Basically, China. In circa 2012, Amazon, likely bowing to monsterous bribes and other pressures, allowed China to list items as 3rd party. In the 4 years since, counterfiets have increased by around 70%. It will be the death of them. But he

I think though that if an equivalent study found opposite results and the BBC wrote "Men write better code", there would be even far greatee uproar at how deliberately misleading that is. You invent an enemy (the linked article, &

The article seems to only go into shallow depths as to the motivations for "cloud", i.e. "because microsoft want to". There are however bigger, more meaningful, and more sinister motivations for the "cloud". Mi

A major cost of that good price per performance metric with AMD cards however is their incredibly eye-watering TDP per performance (and their poor heat dissipation solutions). The electricity cost will in itself mean in maybe a year or so t

Oh, there's plenty of batteries that can discharge quickly. You have to see my Clevo laptop. With an i7 6700k and a GTX 1070 in there, the 100Wh+ battery lasts less than an hour...

I do wonder if they accounted for statistical bias. Death rate is 3x larger, but US population was ~60% of what is was now. That alone means that the death rate is actually only 1.8x times bigger . Additionally, it's been shown that d

I heard about all that business when it happened a while back. To be honest I think it was a total over-reaction by Github. I'm of the opinion that using the word "retard" in a github repo is stupid and unprofessional, and ma

Mathematical break down of that: let x = love; let y = fear; let z = lack of fear. This statement is basically saying: x = z; y = x; => y = z; => We fear the lack of fear. Sorry but that quote is basically 90% redundant, with x (&quot

Oh, it's not a classified a terrorist group by the government because of the mindset/culture that promotes black-favourability.

Natural human behavior to seek revenge/justice for past events, regardless if it makes your "side" net worse off.

by SamUK96 10y ago
Ironically, could it be black culture that causes it? You have all sorts of terrorist groups like BLM that are telling, instructing, pleading all black people to commit crimes. That's definitely not anecdotal.

Call every argument you don't agree with tired and stale? Am I allowed to say that in itself is an overused technique of shutting down debate? Ironic-ness intensifies.
