> Every interview you ever do will be in Python This must be specific to your area of expertise. I've been in the industry over a decade, and never have I conducted or been a candidate in an interview where Python was used.

The private sector grades on a curve. That curve is bent over time and the levels adjust.

Yes, and the original SimCity was a wild success.

That's a terrible part of Denver. I agree. Rome wasn't built in a day. Why would you ever lock your bike outside anywhere in the U.S.? NYC is no better. It's actually worse out East in my experience. That's a separate is

Yet another person who's never been to any part of Denver outside downtown. The bikeability of Phoenix is atrocious. The two cities are not even comparable in this regard. Denver, like most places in the U.S., discovered bikeability in

If you're clicking around on random streets in Google Maps, it's clear you have no actual knowledge of the city. It's far less dense than any place you are comparing it to. Paris has been inhabited by city builders for thousa

Denver is trying. But they have so far to go. I wish them luck and success. The driving culture is strong.

Every single comment I've made in this thread was made with the intent of chiding those who are off topic. "We didn't start the fire! Da nah nah nah nah nah"

Please fix your multiple typos. You have a very interesting point, and I'm worried it will be lost for some. Particularly those for whom English is not their first language. The Old World will be awake soon.

And yet, TFA is about a completely separate phenomenon. Why are you seemingly incapable of staying on topic by discussing it?

You're right. I assumed the commenter was male. I'm just recalling how many times women in my life said that to me in response to me daring to bring up any male-centered concerns. Things like Me Too witch hunts of men later proven

The article is about overwhelmingly male victims. It's not always about you!

You're right. But our cars didn't suddenly get worse during the last 3 years. The behavioral changes we're seeing in drivers since the pandemic are very, very concerning to me. We need more understanding of this phenomenon.

And I'll admit that I'm exhausted by eco-nostalgia and eco-doomerism, which led me to comment dismissively. I understand how that can be off-putting and unpersuasive.

I'm agreeing with that part. The part I disagree with is that we are somehow "fucked". We have lots of smart people working on that problem. Which is why we've actually had some good climate news lately. Doomer-ish state

A great joke. It makes a good point; almost. I'm still waiting for the doomsday that's always just around the corner. We're technologists here. Let's focus on solving problems rather than trying to turn back the clock.

Biodiversity is important insofar as it facilitates human flourishing. Flowery poetry about An Idealized Past doesn't have anything to say about that. Therefore, it is uninteresting.

by chitowneats 4y ago
Ah yes. An empty, denuded world, with unprecedented flourishing for our friends, family, and fellow humans. This type of nostalgia for a wild world full of disease and dangerous predators fails so utterly to motivate me.

Don't worry. It didn't.

Like I said. Functional-ish. Still way too many ThingDoers and other associated boilerplate to be actually interesting. A nice option though if you're working in a legacy codebase or your employer requires it.

by chitowneats 4y ago
I want this to be true. And certainly there has been a lot of progress towards functional-ish code in the languages I'm about to reference. In my experience, languages like C, Go, Java, C# still dominate the backend. Replacing JavaScri

Either way, FP is slowly eating the web. "View as function of state" has thoroughly won the argument. What that will ultimately look like is unclear, but ignore it at your own peril.

Thankfully I exist in 2023. I would not have, and will never, support apartheid or genocide of Black Americans. China is perpetrating this as we speak.

Muslims in Xinjiang are not Han Chinese. You're buying into the propaganda. In any case, the world should not be okay with this.

The question is not whether the research was worth it overall. They denied there was even a possibility that lab leak was the cause of the pandemic. I'm more than happy to entertain the idea that the research is and was worth it. But w

True. And yet, it shows that there is a large scientific community & apparatus willing to experiment with this. Circumstantial evidence is not proof of wrongdoing, but it is reason to ask more questions. Why were those questions censore
