When it came out what Uber was doing to track Lyft drivers that was kind of the nail in the coffin for me. There's just too much. Companies will always make someone angry, but there's just TOO MUCH. I will never use Uber, and I&#

Most things can be done in a less complicated manner, but it costs more. Consider SAP. It's complicated to say the least, but a lot of that complexity comes from both it's generality, it's flexibility, and the quality of the

and I would agree that SS is not perfect, and that it CAN be improved. I just dislike characterizing it as racist . You can absolutely argue for the betterment of SS, even on the grounds that it inadvertently affects things along racial l

reddit is what convinced me that on the whole people are stupid, unfair, and not really worth conversing with. I used to try and give people's thoughts and opinions weight, but at some point I just couldn't muster up the mental en

He's explaining why he, and others like him, have difficulty respecting the people for whom the word 'millenial' applies. I think it's important to keep in mind that the term 'millenial' refers to actual people

Same, I don't use tmux with vim for exactly the reasons you gave. Instead I use i3 to split screens, etc. much better imo.

for some reason I usually get downvoted when I bring this up, but I still believe NVidia is a better experience on Linux than AMD. Like you, I always ran NVidia because of their support for Linux, but recently tried to use an AMD card for a

The question I posed in the discussion is why they didn't extend WSDL instead of trying to rebuild the entire ecosystem by creating Swagger. To me the XML/JSON thing is a non-issue. I've never really gotten the unreadability

I was having a similar discussion just today . I was told I should be using swagger, and upon learning more about I started asking why they didn't just build tooling around WSDL. I couldn't see anything enabled by Swagger that i

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Your suggestion about the statistics would naturally start giving one group less jailtime for the same crime than other groups, and at some point the policy themselves would start affecting th

oooooh, ok, yeah, it was late and I missed that. And that does suck, speaking as a developer, I MUCH prefer working in linux. The exception would be .net/C#, you just can't beat visual studio in that environment. Even then though

I'm not arguing for or against, I was explaining what the other poster meant since it seemed as if their meaning wasn't clear. My statement about the doctor being the only one that could be compensated was definitely tongue in che

This is something I've seen several people not seem to understand. A large part of why people are upset about it isn't just the physical brutality, it's the act of FORCIBLY removing someone from a plane after they've: 1.

This is the point that seems to get missed a lot. yes, the police did the brutalizing, but all of the decisions that lead to that confrontation were UA's. It's akin to arguing we shouldn't lock up people who pay for assassins

It's involuntary if they don't let you on the place, but if you willingly walk off the plane it's voluntary. If what the person is saying is true, then technically speaking, the only one who could demand cash would be the doc

Windows and Linux have different philosophies. Whereas Windows likes the monolothic approach, unix likes the small utility approach. This is why vim is a hell of a lot more useful to me on linux than on windows. In Linux, I actually prefe

I've never seen a GPU stack as stable as NVidia's proprietary drivers, honestly. And I've tried the open source AMD drivers, but the card may have been too old for it.

Your point was valid 20-30 years ago, but not anymore. Not when our bubbles are so largely defined by what we see online. These companies with all the eyeballs are now able to exert an influence on people's lives in a way that compani

You always have to take into account location. $100k/year in NY and Arkansas are completely different beasts. I've been online for many many years and I STILL do not understand why people miss this simple idea.
