Do you have concrete examples of websites that are "fucked up" because of this?

I suppose I'll try to refrain from holding my phone over my head and dropping it. The breakability from 6ft is not terribly useful information for me.

You're off considerably. The world population is only 7.6 billion, if every single person on the planet used the internet and 3% were using Linux to do so it would barely multiple hundreds of millions (228 million). The actual number

But used cars eventually do have to be replaced, and in the long run it is better to replace them with electric vehicles. It may not be an immediate net benefit but new cars are being built either way and increasing the percentage of new ca

Regular breaks during the day may be better for your health than vacation days, but I'm guessing that gain is offset when you use the break to smoke.

Sure, but that also isn't the case for software engineers like the ones in the OP. These guys aren't coal miners in Appalachia, they're software engineers in Silicon Valley.

While it is true that there are economic conservatives who are not racists and misogynists, the Republican party platform is pretty discriminatory against several groups. Someone can certainly vote for a candidate like Trump and not be pro-

Perl definitely can be "write only", but it doesn't have to be as long as you don't try to be too clever, but I could say the same about most languages. I wouldn't want to work on a stack that was centered around Pe

What about the other 99% of the users who don't want to pay? This really doesn't change the equation for Facebook in any significant way.

Which hosting providers would qualify as open then? You are bound by the policies and practices of the owner anywhere you host your content.

An order of magnitude less than Bill Gates is still outrageously wealthy. Forbes says there are 1940 billionaires in the world today, that puts anyone over $1 billion in the top 0.0001 percent.

Maybe, but if I had spent 15 hours 10 years ago it is doubtful that it would still be relevant or useful now. If I come to the point where I need some code to show for a job that I really want I'll just spend the 15 hours then.

Counterpoint: In 10 years I have never had an employer ask to see a code sample so that 15 hours was better spent by doing pretty much anything else.

I don't think it is fair to imply that people who don't have side projects aren't passionate about improving their career skills. I don't have a lot of side projects, and the ones I do have were hastily hacked together o

Nobody is assuming you should pay an older person more because they are older, but because they are more experienced. Paying someone with 30 years experience more than someone fresh out of school isn't age discrimination. Find me a fre

If you find yourself unhappy at every company you work for after 6 months the problem might not be with the companies you work for. Your coworkers probably aren't jealous of your inability to stay at a job for more than 6 months.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the advanced security? Now the other server becomes the weak link

I think this is genius on Facebook's part, they know that what we know today as Facebook isn't going to be popular forever, eventually something cooler will come along and enough people will switch that Facebook becomes more or le

Agreed, especially when an incident with a dog can be a death sentence for the dog even if the human was at fault. If someone is going to be walking my dog I need to know who they are and know that they know how to handle dogs and know that

I wouldn't take everything on Glassdoor at face value, but if there are recurring negative themes in the reviews then that can be a red flag. I read them the same way I read reviews on Amazon, I look at the distribution of scores and t

Airplane mode also turns off cellular data. Personally, I only want Bluetooth on when I'm intentionally using it, but having to go into settings to turn it on and off is cumbersome when I used to be able to toggle it from the control p
