I believe we are all "pirates" at heart, which is why they so easily assimilate into society and why we usually ignore them around us as long as they no longer overtly act in that manner. Obviously, the magnitude of our decent in

Gaining skills is just a matter of effort nowadays as everything anyone needs to learn to do pretty much anything is of course just clicks away. I think that's the real change that needs to be addressed...self directed learning should

There is so much statistical noise in any short series of 5 to 7 events that any coach whom thinks they have some magical eye at picking the "right" players is simply delusional. Yes it worked out for Brooks this time and god-bles

Ahhh sure very nice...of course a "meta-selecting" system would almost surely outperform over time, but my experience seems to tell me that employers aren't really into "ebb-and-flow" productivity...they want consis

Is running a simple rsync cron backup really that tough? Sure I understand it's suboptimal but I've always had pretty good luck with it.

Well of course..It's the echo chamber effect that's been discussed since the 90's. I didn't read the article because, frankly, I have no interest in Zuck's pointifications ... He created a 900lb gorilla and sometim

It seems amazing to me that EMACS is just now getting ready to implement multi-threading. Isn't that so 1990's? Please I mean no disrespect...I was first exposed to EMACS in the late 80's if I remember correctly and have foll

I have serious doubts that WebAssembly is really going to come to dominate the web the way many people here seem to believe it will. The idea that all of sudden there is going to be a rush to push compiled/closed sites after so many ve

I'd be careful of making such generalized statements, whipper-snapper...some of us senile old devs actually pieced together some "wild and free" C-libs (i think we used duct tape and hairpins, but im losing my memory in my ad

I consider myself rather good at vocabulary, but I have no idea what a "warren" is...sure I could look it up but I find it odd that such an opaque reference is used in such a casual way.

I still don't understand why employers can't simply set up a two week "trial contract" where as promising candidates simply work for two weeks so everyone can actually see and judge, with real world empirical data, how w

Yes...this is a pretty concise history of the situation, but I feel it needs at least a passing mention of one of the "evilest" government-sponsored wars in the history of mankind, the Opium Wars of the mid-nineteenth century. Wha

Oh yes...don't get me wrong, there will always be room for crash-and-burn debugging (my pet name for that style), and no doubt interpreted languages make it a much faster and safer method than doing the same thing in C back in the day.

I have always used a step-debugger for debugging and personally find the process somewhat thrilling, especially when debugging other peoples code and learning all the tricks and techniques that they are using to get the jobs done. I don&#x2

I want to make it perfectly clear...I am NOT in any way trying to avoid my personal responsibility in this painful experience. My primary crime was being careless , and I am sure paying one hell of a price for it. Living in this shelter t

This is exactly my point, and relates nicely to the original article's point that stigmatizing non-violent drug offenders for much of their professional lives really serves no purpose beside driving people away from wanting to work. Wh

Really? Listen I am as cynical as the next guy, but I cannot see why society would want to take a 51yo divorced man, living alone and with 2 very successful grown children, whom had, against all odds, chiseled out a well-paying job and a go

There are several reason why I cannot follow your path for "legal" drugs. First, most doctors are loathe to provide long term pain management solutions, and even if I could find one, the cost would be outrageous and the hassle of

If we want to see things began to change, we going to have to deal with this “variable.” Perhaps we should rethink our concept of incarcerating everyone found guilty of using currently illegal drugs. Maybe we need to rethink about how long

He isn't? He wiped Bush, Cruz, and even the superstar politician Rubio off the map, spending a fraction of what they did in doing it as well. Say what you will about his views, many of which I personally find refreshing, but saying he

Almost all of the education system is about signalling your abilty to be told what to do and doing it, and not hardly at all about actually learning things necessary for a successful and productive life.
