The converse is "hiring tecent college grads" who don't have a ducking clue, and needing to train them for a year or two. Sucking up the time of your preexisting ICs, and rendering them useless

The urban/rural split is insane these days. In my home state, Maine, it's getting very close to a situation where Portland can wag the whole rest of the state. Urban vs rural values and opinions are almost mirror images of each ot

Game of Thrones had the potential to be a contender, but the showrunners dumbed it down too much and massacred the plot.

We don't understand how matter acrually works on a large scale. Inventing imaginary terms that we can't observe to satisfy the equations in the models to match the observed reality seems a poor practice.

I'm not seeing anything there that isn't a handwavey explanation for "reality doesn't match the models, so DARK MATTER!"

Japan is a terrible example of a country unaffected by colonialism. Perry's Black Fleet triggered the downfall of the Shogunate and the Meiji Restoration, and so Japan's industrialization and embarcation on a path towards being a

Dark matter appears, to a layman with some historical knowledge, as nothing more than modern day epicycles. When we can't explain something with the models we have, and have to invent magic terms to balance the equations, that indicate

For some reason they decided to scuttle that in the Balmer/Sinofsky/Nadella shakeups. It's actually a pretty nifty API to use, and has some continuation as MonoGame. Notably, Stardew Valley is an XNA/Monogame product.

Java is just... disappointing. I learned Java 5 (1.5) a decade ago in high school, for the AP test, and it's just made very little real progress since, particularly in comparison to the rest of the field. I look at all of the innovati

The same way I keep learning now: reading books, reading my rss feed, newsletters, Hackernews, etc, etc. There's not much serendipity in any office I've ever worked in; I've always had to do the legwork myself.

We don't use it as much as we ought to, but the times we have remembered that this feature exists, it's worked pretty well with Lync/Skype for Business. The screen sharing is actually pretty good, in my experience, and the w

I really, really, don't want to be in some kind of panopticon video conferencing situation all day long. Half of the appeal of working from home is that you get to go off in your cave and actually do some deep work for a few hours at

It's very interesting that certain people are so tightly wound about Russia for the last six months. You barely heard a peep in previous years, when they were fighting rebellions in border regions or launching an invasion of a prospec
