No the shooting shouldn't be about the discussion on "censorship". The discussion should be about the tendency to resort to extreme levels of violence to settle disputes and settle perceived wrongs. As far as the attention qu

Everyone tells you that to avoid responsibility for it being a cultural issue. I mean, do people seriously believe that there is little or no drug/alcohol abuse in urban areas because there's always stuff to do? What explains the

I'm really sorry for you to have to go through this. Struggling with social interactions and the fallout is not easy, and it does not sound like you have the support you need. Have you tried talking to your wife and explaining that soc

Sure. As long as you: Throughly and clearly defined shitty behavior that had wide agreement. Had an effective form of zero tolerance that was both deterrent and enforcement. Had a clear code of conduct that was neutral to all. Correctly ide

Every time someone says "this is about politics" or "they should leave politics out of it" what they mean is the politics they don't agree with. Same applies to the use of "identity politics".

Yea I don't see this working. For starters the problem isn't the games, or the enforcement mechanisms, it's the gamers. There are plenty of other competitive activities with "randoms" that do not result in this type

In my experience demands for working > 40 hours, nights, weekends, etc. almost always comes from management and planning failures. What makes this scenario occur so often is that the business side wields too much power when it comes to c

While people are going to focus on his impact in physics and science in general, and rightfully so, I've experienced a greater impact from his life. I had a close friend of mine who was wheel chair bound. For him Hawking demonstrated t

It's not "classic" since the example used happened less than 10 years ago as well as also being applied to left-wing groups as well. [0] What is classic about it is right wing media (especially in the talk radio era) hyperven

Completely agree about downvoting. It really does nothing for me as a user, as I am able to reply to something if I feel strongly enough about it. A great way to go about detoxifying social media is to limit negative interactions as much as

Cute, but wrong. The basic architecture of Node has not changed, and the core modules are largely the same as they have been for years. The question "How does Node work and how can I leverage it" (which is what GP is asking) is th

His FrontEnd Masters course demonstrates this to be false. He was straightforward about the language and acknowledged shortcomings around things like JSON decoders, for example. Furthermore, last I checked the source code doesn't live

A few things here jump out to me... Put your happiness and well-being first. It's easy for me to suggest that you take the new position and bank $$$ for 6-12 months and get out before the feelings of disappointment set in, but only you

It took me a couple of classes of barely or never using books to start doing #1 in conjunction with the library/sharing of #2. It also helps if you can get an idea of the books in advance from someone who just took the course, giving y

I was speaking specifically to the perceived anti-male bias that was so strong that teachers wanted males to fail. That's an incredibly broad statement to make and one that goes further than yours here about general disfavor towards gr

No, in fact I would say the opposite. For example, having a male 5th grade teacher whose primary "fun" interaction with students was through things like playing touch football, playing chess, etc. actives that overwhelmingly appea

And how do we discern if the environment is hostile, for example, if there is disagreement amongst men in a women's psych class? Do we decide based on whichever side is larger? Whichever side is louder? And what if the perceived hostil

I find this to be a poor and lazy defense in general, but even more so given the elitism and condecension Mencken had for the "half or more" of the population. People have to squint and misappropriate for other figures like Nietzs

Wow, Dojo is still alive and kicking! I'm going to have to find some time to take it for a spin. I really like the idea of framework that looks to address a few needs, making framework selection easier and less reliant on "Oh Fram

Yea I'd say the big churn appears to be around tooling and paradigm thinking (state management, functional programming, etc.), the latter of which driven in part by the rapid expansion of the language itself.

What you're describing is the fault of those managing the pensions, specifically that they continually underfunded them while expecting unrealistically high returns. Detroit? You mean when the city that was in bankruptcy due to a multi

It's more than reasonable to expect a manufacturer to not stress their (recently released) hardware to the point of it being damaged without significant throttling or flat out shutting it down. But if it is that reasonable than surely

While this is a valid point, I've found the biggest issue with "Agile" to be that business thinks that this is the primary (or only) input that needs to be heard from the tech side. They think that because they're tossin
