Or she felt that the wife was the type to be jealous of her working closely with the founder. But yea, a lot of possible situations. But in either case she shouldn't have to feel that way about people in the company. The reason she lik

Actually of all of these the last one is the only one I think your counter is flat out wrong (all the others seem plausible enough). Why? Because gawking at other co-workers (regardless of genders) in a casual environment is not ok. In a ca

There is a middle ground I would hope, and you do appear to be in it. Apologies about the tone, but getting screwed out of opportunities by (supremely obvious, to the point I suspect less obvious ones in other cases) 'old boy' con

Well I was using it as more of a 30 out of a 100 outliers. I'm saying (and this is where the parallel breaks down a little) that if people want to have an epic nerf gun fight it should probably be scheduled, and out of the work place&#

Ah, stupid phrasing: I meant that if you are going to ask someone out, from work, don't do it at work. And definitely don't combine work related stuff (like "you're fired") and personal stuff (like "you wanna d

At no point did I take it as a personal attack. Besides you were right! I realize (perhaps in hindsight) that the comments were likely chose to be unacceptable. And you are right, I shouldn't have accepted the premise. Is saying: &quot

Did you not read what I said? Conforming is supporting it! It's a hard choice to not to, but it is still a choice to conform. So it may hurt your career. Many people don't have careers to advance because of the assholes you are &q

By being the one that control the UI's look and feel, the ability for power users to create arbitrary UI controls would simply materialize!

I don't think it creates a 'hostile' atmosphere per say. Obviously if both parties are alight with the situation then it's fine for them. I think it's an inappropriate one for a workplace though. This comes down to

Which is why you shouldn't participate in it? I realize there are serious societal pressures to conform and be part of that 'old boys club'. But that is exactly the problem, your support of it (even if mostly implicit by mere

Definitely, the main thing is that we need a unified UI system. The web isn't a current solution, although it has the potential to be it. And there aren't any good desktop solutions because there are so many UI patterns and elem

One of the primary goals of encryption is to make the result random, such that no structure can be determined. However you are correct, there is structure there, but it's encoded with so much randomness that the structure is effectivel

If the database is the model, then add a controller (IDE) and view (textual representation) and you may start to see how that could work. Also I should have said, "why aren’t are codebases like modern databases".

I think that's a problem of still using text and the filesystem as our codebase storage format. Databases have transactions, query languages, backup capabilities, and a number of other extraneous features which can be removed or replac

Yes, but the (theoretical) only limiting factor on the market in a hundred years will be the cost of transaction fees. Which will be the cost of energy to maintain it. Theoretically a transaction fee will be the same regardless of amount of

Well some of it can be recycled, like rare metals, but you are right that the majority of the value is in the combination of those raw materials, rather than the materials themselves.

That's why the eventual value of bit-coin is supposed to be the value of the energy required to maintain it (because the cost of doing a transaction will be the transaction fees, which have to cover the miner spending the energy to pro

It's the difference between ethics (codified laws) and morals (societies implicit laws). Society (in aggregate through our elected officials) accepts that as self defence for a police officer. Our laws could likely be used to prosecute
