It seems that some people take societal change as an attack on who they are as a person. Calling a mixed group "guys" isn't that big of a deal. But considering how computer science skews heavily towards men, it sounds tone de

My experience matches yours exactly. Team meetings tend to have a visual support, either someone screensharing or some Miro board/FigJam. So the cam is off. Camera is on during 1 on 1s or when working with new people. I find it importa

Are you saying legal immigration caused outsourcing? That's a bold claim. Anecdotally, I was in a large company with offices in India. None of the management was Indian.

I use reddit for electronic music, my go-to's are /r/TheOverload/ and /r/electro. For Bandcamp, I follow artists and labels there. Whenever an artist I like has a release on a label I don't know I check it

I'm late to this thread. I'm shocked that I had to scroll past an entire page of "music is dead" to find something about Bandcamp. Producing music is easier than ever so there's more music out than ever. Listening t

I'm justifying some riots indeed. What would you do if you were oppressed by your government? Some governments even make protesting illegal and rig the elections (if they're even having elections at all). Desperate times call fo

I'm not following you, what's the link with BLM? BLM is a response to (repeated) racist murders from the state and general systemic discriminations. Yesterday's riots were a response to losing a democratic election. It's

It's a statement I see regularly on HN and that confuses me. Something like Next.js gives you the power and structure of React while doing a great job of hiding any complexity under the hood. And it scales really well, whether you need

To me, the nice part of JS is that you can get pretty far without knowing the language intricately. So you can actually get started and be somewhat productive while picking up more knowledge along the way. The front-end ecosystem is so broa

So while I disapprove of this kind of data collection and wish it was more tightly regulated, I wonder... What makes this newsworthy compared to the "regular" data collection done by Facebook and Google?
