I don't disagree, but "clearly communicated and well structured" seem to be a very difficult standard for design teams. I work with designers both internally at my company and designers from listed companies who provide us de

The people I see the most who want to break the grid are the people it's supposed to be helping: designers, not developers. I've spent years wearing both shoes. As a designer, sometimes designs felt like they were too boring when

Personally I don't find wide sq. footage to be super necessary. My unit is less than a third of your space, and even then on a day-to-day basis I really only use half of that (home office, living room, kitchen). I grew up in a giant ho

I'm not even sure there is a solution. Anecdotally, a lot of my friends either chose not to have kids even though they were financially able to do so, or 'only' had one kid later in life after they checked a bunch of life goa

I think that's fair as consumers will certainly pose the same question.

Is the y relevant? Sort is in place and without a comparator function, it's going to convert the numbers to strings, so the array will remain the same. If the question is about const, const with Arrays/Objects are by reference rat

Honestly, Covid-19 showed me there are 'friends' and there are friends. It changed my perspective of some of my friendships. I had some 'friends' who I knew for 10+ years who couldn't spare a single minute over the

I found a good match via online dating recently, but only after about half a decade of usage. I honestly cannot stand online dating. In all my years real-life dating, online dating had substantially worse experiences. Last winter on a &#x27

Kind of a strange wording of the submitted headline, at first glance I thought it meant that Amazon was moving against work-from-home, whereas the articles explains they're going against their initial direction of forcing workers back

As a short guy, I chuckled at being grouped with dumb guys, and guys with terrible hygiene lol You're not wrong though, both men and women love to make fun of a short guys.

Yup, and that's why it's practically impossible to talk about in real life. All they do is push people who experience this into the darkest places of the internet. Their beliefs that all you have to do is try harder belong in &#x2

Some of my best friends are women and have been there for me in ways that my other guy friends certainly haven't during bouts of loneliness during times of lockdowns. But perhaps it is different when it comes to partners.

I was very physically fit when I started online dating. The reality is that there are a number of variables you really can't change, at least without surgery which I realize is done in places like South Korea. You can't completely

The funny thing some of the observations described in the post is so true despite being 10+ years old. When I first started online dating five years ago, I put in a ton of effort in my replies/messages, except I rarely got any replies.

It's not uncommon for people to live with parents when they can so that they can save enough money for their future. By the time my cousin got married, he was in his 30s and had lived at home all his life. He bought a condo immediately

Hear hear. For me at least it's been a vice for decades. First it was discussion/gaming forums, then it was Fark, then Digg, and then Reddit. It's just as detrimental as being addicted to alcohol/drugs/games to dist

I had to accept a huge volume of rejection, both doing in job applications (hundreds of applications) and online dating (thousands). All the while being alone during Covid-19. My advice to those who might be reading is to find a mentor or b

Thinking you're fucked is unhelpful, but it's pretty normal to go full Alien Hudson in a dire situation and need someone else to assure you that things will be okay.

Yeah it's super competitive for entry level jobs. I live in a city with a lot of tech workers and it's not uncommon for entry level development jobs to have hundreds of applicants within a day or so. I suck at actual technical int

Yes. FWIW, I've been in the recent position of not making it past multiple rounds with top tier companies. And of course, it hurts to get rejected. A mentor of mine essentially said to me it's not personal, think of how much each

Just to chime in here with the love for VLC, it's very rare for me to continually use the same program for years while it gets updates, doesn't lag my computer, and just works.
