I majored in computer science and minored in math and psychology. I have to say, I loved my psychology classes, but in no way were they a replacement for my computer science classes. You are 100% right.

Often apps don't have one app per platform, often it's just Mac or something. They get Electron so everyone can use it and then suddenly the Mac app has an equal number of users as Electron (or less) and then at that point justif

What were you doing in your 20s? You should have been getting girls, engaged, married if you want that kind of life. It doesn’t usually happen over night. Remember how people will see you. A 30-something guy, programmer. How fit are you

Eh. Eating out is a huge money sink. I rarely go to restaurants or cafes. The city certainly isn’t entitled to my money for shit I can make at home for vastly cheaper.

IMO, the problem with divorce is that the payout is given at the time of betrayal/leaving not the time of loyalty. Hear me out. Imagine you work at a company. You do good work. You get a salary and some stock. The company is not pu

That’s not how accountability works. Clearly you’ve never been in this sort of situation where the prescribed action is very close to what will get you sued or killed. Until people stop with “all cops” and stop painting all criminals as do

The vast majority of sexual violence is from people they know, mostly in situations where you wouldn’t call the police on the spot. Victims of street crimes are usually men. So which is it- is whiteness the problem because white women are a

In what tech companies does HR still filter resumes? I haven’t seen this is over a decade. Recruiters, hiring managers, and specialized software is all I see.

The reason is obvious. We don’t want a massive run on P100s. Some applications absolutely need them and a run would wipe them out. Remember when the feds were confiscating the current masks in transit? You can’t just overnight increase t

Luckily it’s easy to spot people who intentionally take the least charitable interpretation of a statement. They hide behind “precision”, which is the other person’s fault when really they lack communication (griper’s fault).

There are more benefits to lowering sugar than weight loss. Diabetes and its related issues for example. When one drops sugar consumption, it’s generally not replaced by fat. That’s not how obesity usually works.

One of the things that every job has is "prereqs". They often include the ability to code, have good (enough) communication skills, etc. Some of the unstated ones are - wear clothes to work, not whip your dick out, not lick peopl

They already collude. There are services companies pay to give them salaries for positions across their industry. It's not even close to an even playing field. Companies have vastly more information than the average job applicant.

This. IMO, most of the culture was a distraction from what really matters. People are up in arms on TV over who can claim to be a woman, but meanwhile, the concentration of wealth and economic power and worse than even the guided age. If t

Broadly speaking, the left likes to go come up with new ways of doing things, the right likes to implement the "tried and true". Almost by definition, this means the left is always trying many things (always need the next new thin

I live in Burlingame and this is pretty far from the truth. We care deeply about our schools and donate millions every year to support them. We absolutely care about Caltrain. We absolutely care about crime. The whole point of living in Bur

In my experience, engineers are mostly told “make this” and denied the opportunity to exercise broader strategy decision making skills. It’s “don’t worry your pretty little head”, “we need you spending time on this, not wasting it on that”,

And yet unions and public positions have openly posted salaries and it doesn’t seem to hurt them. It’s actually quite easy to do. You must be joking? You encouraged political activism at work and are surprised it led to problems? Is poli

Except it doesn’t pay well. $120k/y normally is $60/h. With 80 hr weeks, assuming 1.5x for overtime, that’s $24/h. Frankly, any job that requires overtime better pay investment banker rates.

This is a grossly disingenuous analogy. A vaccine is trivial to get, takes no willpower, isn’t a result of addiction, isn’t negatively influenced by such factors as advertising, restaurants, food deserts, requires no trust in individuals,

It’s long known that poverty in itself doesn’t cause crime. I also was on the bottom rungs when I was very young. Poverty next to wealth does. Suddenly that poor but adequate lifestyle isn’t enough when the guy down the street is driving

They're not, but often, the wealthier the country, the more the difference in pay between men and women because women can simply get whatever job they're interested in without regard to the money. If you are in India or Russia, th

Like all groups, once a marginalized group comes to power, it seeks to force its ideology on the rest, even if it came to power under the banner of preventing just that. Human nature, it repeats itself all the time.
