There is a difference between dominating a field and being a pioneer in a field. Competition is coming for Tesla. We'll see what happens soon enough

If it gives you pause, I'm satisfied with that.

Well thanks for your concern, but I would imagine many people here would consider your reminder as being quite patronizing

That still doesn't fix the compatibility issues. Postgres has features/syntax that sqlite does not have, so you can't test postgres syntax with sqlite sometimes

But is that the value of the building, or the land that is increasing for yours? My home (building + land) value has gone up a ton due to the housing shortages in tech centers, but on the assessment, the building value has gone down, while

I've seen both sides of this. Everyone's idea of a 'sufficient solution' is different. Sometimes good enough for one engineer is not good enough for another. The opposite of the engineer who adds to much complexity to

Agreed, though that is what I am criticizing Google for (being overzealous). As unfortunate as it is to lose 2 candidates, I would value employees who can tolerate people with opinions they don't like

We are not talking about if the termination was legal or not, we are talking about title vii. Damore's opinion does not meet the criteria of a hostile work environment

I don't think you can read the law in good faith and make that claim

That sounds nice, but then look at James Damore. I don't think he treated anyone less than human. He had an unpopular opinion and Google cowered to activists

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I thought your reply was at least a lot more thoughtful than the average one here. It seems like in this topic: <personal anecdote or opinion> pro 4-day workweek = upvote <personal anecdote

I think you're missing the point. Nothing is wrong with deprecation, but it should be done properly. Ideally, breaking changes should correspond to a major version increase

Yes, continue shouting at everyone who has a different opinion than you that it is barbaric. I'm sure it will change hearts and minds and make everyone think you're a mature adult.

Other people can have different ideas about what is morally correct, and it isn't some barbaric idea that an unborn person should not be allowed to be killed. You may not agree with it with your moral calculus, but it shouldn't b

How do you explain the current UI shit hole that we live in these days then? It surely wasn't to increase productivity or user experience. UIs in the 90's were more functional and flexible than the UIs of today.
