I tried the online link version. Apparently it's not good that I don't drink any alcohol and I'm not in any pain. Those are considered to be outside the range of "healthy".

dear god, why?

I would have told myself to stop trying to figure out how other people become successful and trust yourself more. What works for others might not work for me.

Programming languages are much more than tools; they are frameworks of thought. Breadth of knowledge beats being an expert in a single language hands down every time. If you are not familiar with other programming languages and concepts th

"There, far from the public eye, new technologies – such as application programming interfaces – are allowing financial institutions and businesses of all sizes to interact in new, faster ways." This "new" technology cal

I agree it may be a offensive environment but how is it selective or discriminatory though? People can be offended by just about anything. Doesn't mean they are the target. Religion offends me—being around it makes me uncomfortable—

"Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex." Talking about sex or using crude sexual humor is NOT sexism. It may be inappropriate for a professional environment (especially if kids are around) but it is n

You make it sound like competency is a bad thing. What a sad state when people don't value it and think it is someone else's responsibility to provide it for them. "clueless line and project managers..." is an ad homine

I'm the lead developer at a tech startup in Silicon Valley and I interview about 2-3x a week. There is definitely a shortage of competent workers here. We will typically extend an offer to about 1 out of every 5 candidates because th

It's even more confusing. The photographer does indeed hold the copyright, unless assigned to someone else. However, the subject has the right to say how their likeness is used. For any commercial usage the photographer must assign right

This sounds like an old school photographer. That's the how the model used to work, especially wedding photographers. Being a professional glamour photographer (www.topmodelphotography.com) I can say that is not how all photographers work.

This is just the typical socialist "who will build the roads?" argument. "snow storms are socialist". Ummm, no. Socialism (n) "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administratio

Much of the regulation was created for good reason but it is hard to argue that there aren't a lot of regulation that is merely special interest to prevent competition or grant special favor. Rather than more regulation, perhaps more transp

I thought the same thing when I came across the DCI pattern. It is very useful for beautifying and simplifying use cases that span lots of objects. I do something slightly different. I create a class directly for the context and then fire

That article seemed more like an opinion piece. His "facts" consisted of "this person said so" type of arguments. Nowhere did he offer any arguments based on facts of reality. The entire article is based on hearsay. At no point in his r

Capitalism does not need to be fixed. We need to ACTUALLY have capitalism. The above article seems to claim that we can fix capitalism by adding socialism to capitalism. socialism != capitalism They are mutually exclusive for the most part

I like how Rand said it: Under the Antitrust laws, a man becomes a criminal from the moment he goes into business, no matter what he does. For instance, if he charges prices which some bureaucrats judge as too high, he can be prosecuted for

I studied compilers before I studied Lisp so when I first started reading about Lisp it was very intuitive that it is just an AST. When trying to design my own languages I kept needing to handle special conditions and it seemed all roads le

Why use an already existing system that works when you can create a new one under your control that doesn't?

You can already sign up for a bank account online and prove you are who you say you are by inputting enough personal information so they can verify you. Sure there is potential for identity theft but much less so than with what they are pro

Good documentation. There are a lot of really great new languages out there. Clojure is probably one of my favorites but it is very hard for the average developer to put the time in to read source code to figure out how things work. PHP
