I don't think people understand just how quickly the liver, kidneys, hormone levels, your whole body can be destroyed in the blink of an eye by bad drugs. I would say, I've seen more than a few HN contributors have a less than cau

What "toxicness"? I don't see any in this comments section? Did HN delete most of it or did the community down vote those entries into oblivion? Due to a few comments in here I did some digging on the compensation they calcul

I run into examples almost daily where I need a mac. The latest being the cognita/angular example from awslabs https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cognito-angular2-quickstart . States right in the instructions you need

Apple seems to be the only tech giant adhering to "do no evil." I've been a developer for a long time, even though development workflows are typically more compatible running on Macs, I've resisted going all in working o

If Zuckerberg ran for office he would have to let people know what his politics are and run as GOP, Democrat, Libertarian, etc. That would immediately alienate huge swaths of the population, not just of the U.S., but the world. It wouldn&#x

I think it's possible Amazon is not so much shopping for a second HQ as it is looking to move work from the high rent, pro union Seattle area. Only, they saw how much negative press Boeing received after making their true intentions kn

From reading the article, it seems the health benefits may, primarily, be attributed to having lowered blood sugar? I've also seen a number of references saying just eating less has the ability to extend life. So, could it be that suga

I have been using Kiln for free for quite a few years for my personal git repos. I still haven't grown past just me. I received an e-mail last week saying they will start charging $20 dollars a month, no exceptions, to keep Kiln. I jus

I purchased the high end $1700 version of SP4 in December. It is small enough for me to take to everywhere; like I am carrying a notebook. It is one of the best purchases I have made. I am almost never without it. I'm a developer. For

I recently just started playing a videogame again. The last time I played was World of Warcraft in 2005. I stopped to fulfill my career goals, get a masters degree and strike it rich working on my own startup. Well, as the years went by I k

The MSM is butt hurt they don't control the narrative anymore. The last election proved that. They are scared. Their current strategy is to label their call for censorship as limiting the reach of fake news. Of course everything not in

They absolutely should not turn in their resignations. I work for a state writing unemployment insurance application software. If the CEO wants them out, he needs to lay them off/fire them. If the employees hand in their resignation, t

I can't tell if the part under "The Legend of Zelda" is sarcasm or I'm really that old: "Never heard of this one. Doesn’t look very good IMHO." Really? When I think of Nintendo I think of "The Legend of Ze

And you think you win the argument immediately just by labeling the poster "Randian". As if anyone saying anything remotely un-leftist is some uncaring, selfish nut job. Maybe pick up an Ayn Rand book some time and actually read i

I know most people hate Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged here but that is literally what happened in the book. Roark Steel was made to give "green steel" to the unprofitable competitors to keep them in business.

I think we've lost sight of the argument. I do not disagree that people taking a few months of online courses are being paid well (or above) what they should be earning as a programmer.

The difference being, the older you get the more you will be perceived an expert at law. Your experience ages like a fine wine. Experience in tech ages more like a ripe watermelon sitting in the sun. Your earning potential will only go up t

Can I ask, are you a programmer? My guess is you are not. If you were you would understand the real physical strain and mental toll it takes to be good. If you want to excel, it is a never-ending battle to stay current and there is little t

Walmart easily owes over 3 billion in taxes every year. There is a tiny almost non existent chance they will get a return as profit. However there is a 99.999% chance they get jet.com for free when they write it off as a complete loss in 2

Yes, because every problem is easily solved if we only taxed everyone and everything into oblivion. Couldn't have anything to do with the government taking and printing endless streams of cash, wasting it to buy votes, then using their

So private companies with the monopoly of force the government has. Again, the private part isn't the problem. It's the privilege government gives them through exclusive deals to pick the electorate's pockets.

It's odd that you don't see why guns are potentially more important. Because without guns or money (also something the left enjoys taking) the population is helpless to fight things like "being spied on and the loss of privac

Pretty sure it means you can't have servers running your tests that prepare your production code for deployment. Maybe you use RHEL to run Openshift 3 with containers spinning up a test environment to run acceptance tests exactly like
