Yeah, as an American, I would be inclined to think the people who would insult you for being intelligent were more distracted by you being a foreigner, and would latch on to that to "insult" first, whereas the people who would app

In my personal experience, after you've been out of school for about a year, nobody cares the least bit about GPA or any of that stuff. It's a placeholder differential for someone who doesn't yet have relevant experience. The

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is doing a pretty great job of making those *nix commands easily available on Windows. I don't know if it's ready for say DevOps day-to-day professional usage, but just being able to find, grep, a

Considering the relative age of WSL integration in comparison to Windows and Linux themselves, it's progressing very nicely. I feel almost as comfortable on Windows now as I did on OS X 10 years ago -- but I don't need to pay the

The medical thing is an interesting cross-over though -- if a nurse walks into your hospital room because your name is on the outside and administers an injection that kills you because you were accidentally put in the wrong room, whose fau

I love these stories... One kid is a sociopath terrorizing animals, and the moral is a dog will steal your sausage. Another kid won't eat soup so he. fucking. dies. What the hell, Germany?

Is your problem the labeling of the company as racist because the CEO is (presumably) racist, because I really don't see much of a difference between Pewdiepie "being racist" and Pewdiepie doing racist things (like using the

After Google Listen (and a long line of similar shutdowns -- Google Reader, Google Wave, GChat/Voice/Hangouts/Allo), why would you use Google Podcasts anyway? I'm not affiliated in any way, but Pocket Casts has been runn

I would like to see a comparison between Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther and Avenger: Infinity War that supports your hypothesis (the three most recent films besides the very recently released Ant Man and the Wasp). I'm not arguing the M

I feel like that's part of the strategy though. Arguing that the strategy was sound but they just overextended themselves seems facetious; didn't the strategy cause them to overextend themselves? Therefore, wouldn't it be f

Thanks for the insider update. I don't understand, with the nature of the product (coming from open source) why is Symless doubling down so hard on centralizing this? Look for remote C++ developers across the world and get the tools to

Yeah, trivially, a language like Brainfuck is clearly not a good choice for anything professional or maintainable; therefore, there must be some selection criteria that makes some languages objectively better than other languages. Whether P

In what sport do you hold back from scoring a goal in order to set yourself up to score a goal later though? That is to say, what you're saying is true, but typically (as long as the net is in sight) the best way to set yourself up to
