I keep hearing that but I dunno. I’m building a fairly large side project in Express + React and I keep finding ways of doing things in ES6 - lodash is still not to be found in package.json. I think I might cave in eventually but as it stan

In the eyes of the law, how is this different to being compelled to give your passcode though? Of course it’s easier and they could maybe even unlock a phone with your corpse but in jurisdictions where the law protects the individual’s priv

And yet despite that GitHub remained much bigger than these two. It's a big deal because this might dig the moat further.

> they [Japan] eat fish rather than meat You were specifically arguing against eating tuna. So a plant AND fish based diet might be best after all? Regardless, Spain and Australia trail very closely to Japan, and they are huge meat eate

> High meat cultures never produced the longest living people. This is a lie. Spain has the fourth longest living country in the world according to the WHO, and ranks 11th in the world in meat consumption at 97 kg per person according to

This is a total lie. The economic development of many of the poorer nations that have engaged in global trade has exploded in the last fifty years. Human development in those countries, as measured by uncountable metrics (IDH, child mortali

I also forgot to mention that under-25 unemployment in Spain is around 35%-40%, with general unemployment rates at 16%. Other than not being burdened by debt, Spanish STEM majors are comparatively worse off in pretty much any post-graduatio

And yet in Spain when we finish a CS degree at a top uni (UPM, UPC, etc) all we can aspire to is a 25,000€ / year salary with a ridiculous progression in most cases, whereas in the US it's not uncommon to climb to 150k fairly quic

Have you read the article and studied the issue at large, or are you just here to contribute your snark? There is good evidence that a lot of this content is produced in China. My question is whether this is state-endorsed.

Not too much of a conspiracy theorist, but what are the chances that part of this is organized by Chinese, North Korean or Russian government agencies? The incentives are there - disrupt one of the West's biggest platforms, cause socia

Harvard is one of the founding partners of edX and has a ton of high-quality courses there. It also has the Harvard Extension School, which offers high-quality degrees at a fraction of the cost of the other schools. Probably unfair to say t

There are plenty of skilled and honest managers in tech, so I fail to see how this is "the manager" personified. The engineer recognizes that with a competent manager things would be in a better place - nowhere does he say that th

It's ironic how the author comes across as utterly condescending and miserable herself. I don't see how this article may be helpful to anyone struggling with mental health issues, nor to their loved ones or therapists. Completely

At this point you're operating a propietary software company that offers a "contribute and get the software for free" perk. You need to manage access to your closed source code and decide what is a viable contribution, etc.

Or you know, the FOSS alternative might still be 100x weaker than the propietary incumbent. I'd love to ditch Adobe products but Gimp and Inkscape don't quite cut it. "Goodbye to your propietary business" applies when yo
