If they want to diversify they can work on other projects making money instead of fucking up their current userbase. IMO coding missile software to pay for those projects would be a lot more ethical than what they're doing. Yeah I cons

I think it would be a huge error. The US culture already pervades everywhere in the EU thanks to their medias. We really don't want them to invade us directly and out-birth our native population using our health care system and social

And then they chastize you because "Why did you not come sooner? Now your easily cured at a early stage disease has become life-threatening." I'm sure more expenses on early symptoms and making people ask for a diagnosis when

You also want to check what the current state of the art is and if you really need your procedure right now. Personal example : a decade ago using ultrasound to remove thyroid nodules was at the clinical trial stage with good results. But s

Four words : composer, symfony, laravel and php-fig. The php ecosystem is not what it was 4 years ago. Although due to backward compatibility the languages still has a lot of cruft. But this means old code often works directly with the last

You can set Noscript to accept scripts coming from the current domain (and sub-domains) by default. It helps a lot.

Yeah the owner of the website which include the script has only their website data. The third party follows users over all the websites they're deployed on. Best example is google analytics and all beacons scripts (G+, FB like, share o

Yup. Dropped 25kg (45ish lb) 3 years ago. Gained 12kg back the next 2 years which I removed during the last 6 months. Still more weight to shed but I know what works for me and what kind of effort it requires: going hungry by eating less. L

Personal experience: I've lost 4lb per months for the last 6 months with no cooking. I'm lazy so I just use microwavable food: 3mn to prepare, I know the number of calories so I can easily stay under my target. Even with not micro

"The only pressure you get is the one you accept". Just learn to say no. I think that's the most important thing women and shy people need to learn. No. "You should work late to show your commitment". "No"

The solution as usual is to start working on programs to train new developers earlier instead of relying on colleges and CS curriculum. Something like the apprenticeships you have in lot of trades.

I'd go with the usual Apex fallacy. One guy gets 20% more money than me! What? The other one who gets 20% less? Nah he's invisible. It's like the usual "men are in power". Yeah, some men. A lot are in shitty dead-en

That's why I encourage coders to document things. Code and test for 4 hours, document what is not, maybe work on easing on-boarding on your projects or even other's. And read. Developing software is about a lot more things than th
