and the worst part is that after the 5th literally in 2 sentences I closed the video. Maybe I'm just that old guy screaming at the kids to get the hell off my lawn, but I found the communication style to be obnoxious.

that's nowhere close to a reasonable reading of any of my posts. You're on a crusade that no one else cares about.

I agree completely, I even wish seasons were shorter. Very often the start and end to a season is strong, but the middle is filler.

what the hell are you on about? I made no argument, simply explained why some people think pointing out that IQ for blacks is lower is a racist statement and others do not think it's a racist statement.

I have no idea what this quote is supposed to mean. Is bullets slathered in pork fat supposed to be a racial comment?

who cares, it's useful at this time.

I didn't find his reply non-polite, just personal. Why do we expect people to be impersonal all the time?

what's to exploit? If they're logging in, they have the credentials already. I get that someone could maybe somehow avoid updating the stripe info, but that will fail the next time a charge goes through, so it's not as if th

I have my gmail accounts forward to fastmail (And then filter). I've had this setup for years now, not sure exactly but easily 5+ years, and I'm super happy with it. I do really wish I could find a better email client though, but

I almost had to check to see if this wasn't posted by me, right up to the no thanks with respect to Mailspring requiring an account. and I'm right there with you about being willing to pay. Thunderbird is what I use, but I'm

I think it's a matter of perspective. If you believe IQ is completely genetic, then a statement that more blacks have a lower IQ can be seen as racist against blacks. But if you believe IQ is malleable (fixable to some extent), then th

I'm not up to speed on ESR, but I didn't get a racist vibe from the initial quotes, and your response goes further in convincing me he isn't racist, just forthright. Which is an admirable trait. And on that note, I personally

I think it's fair to say that changing requirements coupled with a limited amount of time results in non-incidental complexity. It's a systemic problem that results when the entire leadership stack isn't aware of how good sof

Are you me? About 2 years ago I was having a conversation with someone and this was roughly the idea I had. A wallet that users can fill up and apportion appropriately. So if someone really likes reddit, then they can automatically give sa

I would imagine it's a combination of the natural power dynamics of school, and a need to be the smartest person in the room.

I built a custom ticketing system for a hosting company, and maintained it over 6 years before ultimately moving on. After the first 6 months in production it basically sat there for 4 years with no bugs, no dropped tickets/emails, and

You can place a shim into the module and leave the rest in userland. Yes, it hurts performance, but that's the tradeoff.

managers and business leaders make decisions based upon those estimates. Imagine if that cable guy coming your house said between 1 hour and 2 weeks. Good luck making anything approaching a good decision surrounding the cable guy's vi

I'd be more inclined to give the credit for less software flops to the rise of the internet and the ability to update easily. Even traditional software projects are now much more incremental due to the ability to update once a week (FF

why in the world would you ever use the end of a sprint as a hard deadline? That's broken from the get-go.

what does that even mean? Is there some legally definition for material that journalists must adhere to?

I think the big one for me would be radio and temp. I assume no one in their right mind would put lights or cruise control behind a touch screen, but I could be wrong there. And maybe part of it is me being set in my old man ways, but I do

I've never had a problem with it, but I also don't look at them while driving, and so forth. Maybe I'm the drunk driver who thinks he can totally drive better when he's drunk, but I've been driving 20+ years and ne

If I'm speaking with someone in the car and I detect a potentially dangerous situation, I immediately stop talking to focus. It's hard to explain, but I would say my attention is unfocused and broad. I don't know if this is

a thousand times this. A year or two ago I considered buying another car after I had a fedex semi hit me (turning left from a stop, not dangerous). I drive a 2004 corolla and love toyota, but the guy looked at me like I had grown frog legs
