It's more like telling people who live in dangerous areas not to walk around looking scared and confused. Which we do... I have to agree with the sentiment expressed elsewhere in the thread, that bullies bully for different reasons. Th

That's pretty much inevitable, over a long enough timeline.

Not good and not bad. I wouldn't compare the two as it's a false dichotomy. Just as some tasks are better done in pairs, others are better done alone. You can work as part of a team, but also individually.

The cleverer managers I've worked with typically include a factor of ~ 70-80% on worker office time. So in a typical 8 hour work day, 6 of those hours would be productively spent on a task at hand. For an engineer who is sitting at his

Blues are very loud. Depending on your environment obviously. Quiet office, or personal study near a bedroom (if you share it with someone)? Stick to browns.

Your coworkers must be really sensitive (or mine are really tolerant). I've used brown switches in a Filco Majestouch for over a year, never had any complaints. I don't bottom out the keys, but there's a noticeable clack when

Convincing poorly educated people of something is not hard to do. A large part (or side-effect sadly) of education is critical thinking skills. Lack of education leads to easy followers; something that has been preyed upon numerous times th

This: "Right now I'm working 14 hour days and everyone gets mad when someone tries to leave while the others are working. There is no FREEDOM. The whole point of this venture WAS FREEDOM. Beers at 2pm? Sure! Not "um we have 8

Introverts frequently have some good tools at their disposal to 'fake' being an extrovert - mostly observation and empathy. Being extroverted is really just putting the effort in to talk to people, and make them feel good about t

It always did look amazing. To be honest every new Zelda since has seemed like a downgrade in terms of graphics and animation. Just wait till you get to swaying platforms over lava lakes!

Yeah, this is my biggest problem with Wind Waker, and why it's not the best Zelda - it's just too easy. Adding a couple of tough dungeons would've made it much closer to OoT's difficulty. We shouldn't be aiming fo

Many people do this - take a look at any children's show where they read books out. Typically the spoken words don't match the page exactly, but do carry the gist of the story. I do the same thing when I read to my kids, my brain

I couldn't decide whether this was an incredibly deep post that I'm missing, or just a very obvious by-product of compilation.

Then this is where the pressure needs to be applied - at the certification process. It needs to be made a legal requirement to attain certification (if not already), and the certifiers need to follow best practices for vulnerability detecti

Nice black-and-white view of humanity. I felt for this guy, because it could easily have happened to me, and my upbringing was probably a paradise compared to his. Especially in the case of juveniles, we (as a society) should be understandi

That's my take on it as well, even though it fails the Occam's razor test. This all sounds like a very understated way of saying "we can no longer develop truecrypt with impunity, and the only other options are closed source,

Having seen a few people spend their (rapidly failing) final years with emphysema and related health complications due to smoking... I can't say that you'll live well to the end necessarily. I hope you avoid that fate, random inte

To think that he actually believes any of what he just wrote is... difficult. I dunno what Facebook pushed in front of him, but to me Occulus is now nothing more than a footnote in the quest for immersive VR. How disappointing.

I don't think that gives Page enough credit. I'd phrase it as "Charitable organisations aren't effective enough to deserve my money". Elon Musk is, above all, a do-er. He has shown the capability to not only think

It's so sad to see things like this twisted around by people with too much time and an axe to grind. I don't think anyone expects to put down a mat and claim 'Mission Accomplished' on building a meritocracy. Or any other

This is not helpful. Either there is a problem at Github, or there isn't. Couching it in terms of a general problem across the industry is not helpful. Is the leadership at Github sexist? You can't just handwave that question away

Perhaps your government felt that there would be non-financial benefits to supporting efforts to make affordable electric cars. Can you not think of any?

An apt analogy. I moved from Linux-based machines to Macbook Pros. I love the ability to tinker in Linux. I hate the requirement to tinker in Linux, just to get normal desktop stuff working.

I guess that would technically mean "Who thinks the US can listen in?", which would mean that he's attempting to downplay the possibility that the US tapping things is a relevant concern, and all these international competito
