I am 34. I was raised in an era (esp. mid-90s) where we were taught color-blindness, gender-blindness, non-discrimination as the proper ways to approach eradicating sexism and racism. All are equal, and have equal protections under the law.

Gender is a big thing to get wrong in person. I am a man, If someone referred to me as "she" or "her" I would correct them. I wouldn't expect any less from anybody. When it's a machine doing it though, some unk

If you no longer want to maintain a package, and you do not have a trusted source to hand it off to, the right thing to do is let it wither. If the package remains relevant, someone will eventually fork it. The burden of trust is no longer

I think you are almost correct. A victim of racism or an advocate for a victim of racism is not being racist for calling out the racism. However, a person blaming racism without evidence and where it does not exist is indeed engaging in rac

Is there not a risk of tremendous legal battles with investors when you start a new, legally separate business that it could be argued you should have pivoted into?

In a situation where ideas are readily available, the only winning game is to remove the credibility from your opponent. It's a logical fallacy, but things like discrediting witnesses has been done for decades. So convincing your follo

I played and modded Jedi Knight around that time and there was a very popular level in the ecosystem called Jedi High School that caught some flak for this same reason.

The meaning of poetry is what the reader wants it to be just as much as what the author intended it to be. A single scene in the Netflix show "Daredevil" taught me more about the arts than anything else in my 34 years. An art deal

I'm curious: So what you're saying is that you don't value the ideas put forth in the GDPR, because you want the content so badly that you'll bypass a block based upon it? Because if so, it totally validates their decisi

Offtopic from your post for a couple paragraphs: I push back against my fellow conservatives who view things like basic living income a "socialist" idea. It seems to me that if people have more money in their pocket, they will buy

I think this is true, but the problem is the finality of that single one bad event. If drinking water from the tap resulted in 1 out of every 400000 drinks falling over dead, people wouldn't drink water from the tap.

I have a 6-year-old and worry about this myself. But I'll be honest, I grew up in front of an NES, TV, cartoons, Sega Genesis, nearly every waking hour. I'm not a perfect man, but I am a productive member of society. So in my mind

Do you mean .Net in general or .Net core? In my industry, Microsoft stacks are extremely common. The talent pool for C# in this area is tremendous, which has absolutely gained the company much synergy in the form of OS and MSSQL licensing.

I watch Ecstasy of Order (which features among others Jonas Neubauer, who lost in this case) at least once every 6 months. I'm glad to see they're keeping up the pace with these championships.
