American here. Placing punctuation in a quote ending a sentence is how English Composition was taught to me in grade school and in college. I took to Eng Comp early on and had at least one class in the subject from 9th grade in 1993 through

Another act in the confirmation-bias show. Was the fact that Trump didn't do any of these world-ending-whacko deeds due to him not being a world-ending-whacko? Or was it due to the dire predictions and actions of those predicting the w

It's "easy math" if you're trained to think and calculate in that way. Never assume something is universally easy because it comes easy to yourself.

"Democratize" has got to be the most abused new buzzword in tech for this decade. Right up there with "synergy" from yesteryear.

I disagree you'd no.longer be facing a Nihilist. You might get them to consider the merit of a viewpoint versus another, but they still wouldn't really care about any viewpoint presented. A dyed in the wool Nihilist would only pro

I'm legitimately glad to see this is making so many uncomfortable - that's a base component of robust discussion, delving into the uncomfortable. If you're down voting, please share the reasons why to further discussion.

In college I was asked the following question by a Sociology professor, and it always hits home when these battles of opposing moralities arise: How would you explain to a Nihilist that your morals are superior to the morals of those you co

I'd argue the same goes for technical leadership that were hired in originally as senior/staff/principal. The bar for breaking into a technical leadership position at every company I've worked for seems impossibly high,

Thanks for elaborating, really enjoyed that read. The Libertarian and Populist takes are particularly interesting.

It's curious that you see a spectrum in the left, but not in the right. That might suggest bias, but I'd like to give you the benefit of doubt. There is no universal conservative position, nor are all conservatives reactionary. Ju

We chose the unsweetened Ripple as the milk of choice for our children once they moved past formula. The nutrition profile is excellent and lacks what I would consider negative carbohydrates [1]. The only thing I could find negative about

Back when we were writing alt shells for Windows 95/98/2000 (geoShell, Litestep, etc) uptime plugins/modules were all the rage. Screenshotting and sharing were popular and came with bragging rights.

Having to preface a comment with vaccination status is truly unfortunate.

The vaccines were unfortunately politicized from the outset, from the first mention that they were in development. It's a shame that neither politicians nor the media felt it a good idea to keep the best interests of the people in the

This is something often overlooked by fans of typing. On the surface it may appear to some as being strongly typed, but it's a mirage [1] and frequently requires a lot more lifting, e.g. writing specific typings to work around shortcom
