How do we know when to take Trump literally or not? When he says "build the wall", does he mean a literal wall or a figurative one? When he said he has a plan to defeat ISIS, or a plan to replace Obamacare, is that a literal plan

I don't entirely agree with him, but I think we need to be careful about confirmation biases. This situation about a police state may get out of hand, especially if Trump and local government authorities feel like they need to crack do

Even if we think that the "old guard" should go, how does one go about replacing all of them in such a short span of time? It's not like they can "hire" replacements from competitors (like what happens in the corpor

I suspect the main reason for Google's stranglehold is that it's usually set up as the default search engine for many web browsers (both for desktop and mobile) and the vast majority of users don't change that. In spite of it

What's the better option to motivate employees then? Profit-sharing rather than equity?

I'm new to Docker, but from what I know, it makes a microservices architecture extremely easy to set up. Right?

Wasn't Hitler a political candidate as well? I wouldn't go so far to say that Trump and Hitler are one and the same, but you can draw similarities in the rise of nationalism in both campaigns and their impact on the electorate. Ev

Thought experiment: Would it be any different if we replaced Donald Trump with Hitler? Should a company dissociate with a business partner/board member/investor because he supported an extremist's political campaign?

Conspiracy theory: Apple is intending to launch its own documentation reader built-in to macOS. This is just a way to "out" the incumbent.

Vimium is a life changer. My fingers are on the keyboard 80-90% of the time and I get things done so much more efficiently. Vimium + Alfred is a potent combination.

Zenhub is still the better (more full-featured) option if you want to do project management in Github. Not to mention that it's also free for small teams.

Sure, but caring a lot about UX necessitates pushing the envelope when it comes to web tech. If we were satisfied with our HTML tables, we would never have moved on to jQuery, HTML5/CSS3, React etc.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that while the developer experience is getting more complex, the user experience is getting better and better. That, in my opinion, makes all the messiness worth it. I'm not saying that there

Insightful read and an interesting thought experiment. Unfortunately, executing this in reality is much harder than it seems. While he rightly observes that the new order will largely be built on supranationals (like Google & Facebook)

If you are given the responsibility to vote (or to lead a campaign), you should be willing to accept the consequences of the result wholeheartedly. If Boris Johnson or whichever leader of the "Leave" movement replaces Cameron, the

So all this hoo-ha is really just because of a capitalised "T"? If the code were fixed, is the DAO model still valid in the real world? (I'm a cryptocurrency noob... Some of technical stuff just went over my head)

This is a life-changer for me ever since I installed it a few years ago. With Vimium and Alfred, my hands are on the keyboard 95% of the time. P.S. If you tweak the settings, you may even be able to browse/navigate the web with just o

The VEP seems to be policy rather than legislation. Meaning that there is no legal obligation for the US Government to abide by it. If anything, the question is whether the US Government is morally obliged to reveal the vulnerability, give
