The only use for such statistics is to vilify all men.

There is no such thing as "men" or "women". There are only individuals. Once you attribute anything to "men" or to "women", you are creating a pathological fallacy which smears all members of the gr

Indeed, there is simplicity on the far side of complexity, but that doesn't mean you can't get it wrong.

Well, it certainly is offensive, but I don't think that's what you mean. (Offered as humor not criticism)

I have built 3 spec-houses without a building background. I did it by managing sub-contracts. I learned a lot about such work by filling the gaps between one sub-contract and the next. By far the most important source of info was booksto

If cognition evolved along with organic evolution, then it seems to me that the very first survival value associated with initiating evolving cognition must have been the ability to control motion. I can not imagine a survival value to cogn

Recreation is great. I search for gold and occasionally fish. Housing is free as I am a camp host. All in all, it's OK with occasional high points.

I built a career working as a sole programmer in a small operation. Such jobs do require a lot more domain knowledge (as opposed to programming knowledge) as the article pointed out. I'm retired now, but would like to get back into i

I live in a small collection of homes along an interstate in a national forest. Modern culture (tech and non-tech) is racing ahead of me. Every year I fall further behind. I don't even know what it is that I don't know. Even po

I've been programming for over half a century. I've seen a lot of programming languages come and go. They are really not that important. The reality is Domain Knowledge is the key to competency, i.e. something like device drive

Russia's propaganda campaign explains Russian defeats in Ukraine as the result of large numbers of foreign specialist troops aiding the Ukrainians. Was this article placed here by the Russian propaganda machine?

I have built 3 houses. I did not find code compliance a problem. In fact, code kept me from making a dangerous mistake during construction. The reason I built up-scale houses was there was more money in it. It required roughly the same a

If I use elaborate camel-case variable names, it seems to reduce the load on my short-term memory because I don't have to remember what a variable name represents. It's meaning is there when I need it and can be forgotten otherwi

I use an outliner. It includes a full-featured word-processor that associates an internal text document with each item in the outline (a common feature). This feature is essential as most of the work takes place within the document associa

Choose a programming project and learn by programming it in javascript using a language manual. Besides, javascript is so simple a language that you could probably learn a lot from just reading someone's code. That could get you start

I was in the science room during day 2. Folks today can not understand just how far beyond belief it was to hear the control officer order "Enter and execute 1100". Then a few seconds later there before me was a picture taken on

I have read very little SF for a few decades. Ask someone who follows it. Neil Stephenson and William Gibson are two writers of outstanding creativity. Swords and fantasy works don't seem promising. Good luck.

The folks who write science fiction are often very creative. If, while reading a SF novel, you encounter something that strikes you as different, see if you can simplify it, or restrict it, or otherwise reduce to the point that you just mi

Macs will speak any highlighted text. Not copy/past. Just highlight and click Speech on the Edit menu. It's not quite what you asked for, but better than the copy/paste method.

That's the ideal. This is my third HN account. My previous two accounts disappeared after I make relevant references to my app. The use of power corrupts.

At 76 my skills are not marketable, but I was referring to not leaving behind accomplishments that are evident, have enduring value, and validate my life.
