What stood out to me the most was being shown a chart in high school showing the average earnings of a high school graduate vs a college graduate. A college grad earned $1m more over their lifetime than the high school grad, and I never tho

Yours is a subject that deserves discussion, but not everyone is qualified to give such broad perspectives. The author clearly has a strong history as a woman in STEM, so I don't think it's fair to discount her story outright. Men

The article uses very broad strokes, making points which could certainly lend themselves to narcissistic parenting. One stand-out line is "[b]ut your child’s first allegiance must be to you, not to her best friend". It stresses v

That's at the extreme. Sure people will always be jealous of the rich, but there's a big difference between everyday jealousy and getting your house repossessed by the bank that got bailed out with your tax dollars a few years ear

This version seems much easier to parse. Nobody would care about the super rich if they felt secure and stable in their own finances. Right now a growing number of people do not, and mostly for reasons that are out of their hands. Fix the c

Moving the goalposts to the furthest conceivable distance isn't going to prove anything to anybody. Nobody claimed you could completely master a trade skill just from watching YouTube videos.

gog.com is an example of the software industry (or video games, at least) eschewing DRM on an ethical/consumer rights basis. They're highly successful, and may well pressure Steam and other similar markets to follow suit if their

I understand, but that's just not an option for us. I don't resent them at all, they've every right to decide which features are restricted to EE licenses, but I can lament it all the same.

I'm maintaining a GitLab instance for my team at work and it's been really great for us. I am pretty disappointed that the CE version doesn't include GitLab Pages, though, as that was the one feature I missed most from GitHub

Windows 10's UI is pretty half-baked, as well. I mean, the UI concepts aren't bad, but they're only applied to half of the OS, with everything just below the surface still using the old-fashioned dialogs that've been aro

I think I read once that when elevators still had operators, larger buildings would have one or more dispatch agents in the lobby that would line people up at the appropriate elevator for the range of floors they intended to visit.
