Can you give some examples? Things being broken in life is usually one or more of: - lack of time to implement (this would be great but we have three people on a team, and five features to deliver...) - lack of people who care enough and ha

I noticed a billboard the other day. All it had was an edge-to-edge photograph, a raised squircle outline (iOS app icon shape of square with rounded corners), and a one word name. It was a very simple ad, but it made me double-take, because

Sure, that’s reasonable. I just see people who order a round of 6 drinks and then throw a single dollar in, at some places.

Oh, I was not personally saying that what you are doing is wrong, I was just replying to parent on how remuneration to an insider can be seen.

Because that’s equivalent to bribery?

Giving bartenders a dollar no matter the order amount is not cool, really. That’s how you turn invisible to them the next time you want to order a drink ;)

Interestingly, for me Chrome is the browser that causes my machine to sound like a helicopter on take off (though maybe my usage is atypical). Safari still has the best power efficiency on the macOS, but between Firefox and Chrome anecdotal

That game had _the best_ weapon play ever. I truly feel it never got the recognition it deserved. Unfortunately it came out in close proximity to Rune, which had a much more arcadey feel, and, I think, may have stolen much of the audience.

Perfectly reasonable statement in his position, but I don’t see how it translates to “we were fighting the wrong enemy all along.”

Patton was a general, and it was his job to consider and prepare for the worst, of course. That doesn't mean he had any magical insight into the Soviet plans before the war. At the end of the war, Soviets were in Berlin. If they were b

Oh, if you think "commie", "pinko", or "red" was not a dead-serious, job- or even life-threatening accusation in the past, you should read up on Red Scare, Hollywood Blacklist and McCarthyism. The question of w

I’m not sure any kind of “x was worse than y” makes sense on that scale of evils. How can one possibly weigh the countless lives lost due to decisions made by both? I think the only thing one can truly say is, both were terrible human being

She is wearing felt knee-high boots (valenki) which make both feet look thicker than you expect. The left foot is casting a shadow on the right foot, which makes the right foot appear thinner.

Suvorov’s books are widely considered an entertaining alternative history fiction as far as I know. I’d be curious to know of any actual historians who consider his books a realistic and plausible version of history.

In my experience, places that filter you out based on that, are places I would not want to work in the first place. There are tons of companies that would kill for candidates with math background. Aside from that, you may well be getting fi
