People with DSPD can't have "regular" sleep cycles, it's thought to be a genetic disorder where their cycle is offset a few hours from a regular sleep cycle. Couple that with society's 9-5 work schedule, you'

It is interesting to read people's views on animal testing. Some are very empathetic while others view every other species as inferior and worth nothing compared to a human life. Obviously the advancement of our species is important bu

You seem to think first world means everyone is happy, content, and without struggle. No country such as that has ever existed. The common concept of first world is so misconstrued by people who live in it that those from second and third w

Microsoft really should have pursued creating a version of Windows specifically for gaming. I imagine there are lot of users who only use Windows for that purpose.

I had no idea about this before taking it. I popped some before going to the store. Thought I was about to crap myself then started getting super itchy. Had to rush home and by then my entire body was lobster red lol Definitely want to use

I don't think not working for 2 years would make someone unemployable so long as they are continuing to hone their craft.

I feel like I'm on the same path. Is this something you'd built up over time and managed to make profitable so you could go full-time?

If you haven't read it yet, give 'A Brief History of Time' a read. Even if you're not a big book reader, it's only about 250 pages. Great way to pay respects to this legendary man. https://en.wikipedia.or

I read the article and obviously it describes in detail why they have no females developers employed, but... considering how many people don't RTFA these days, they really should have chosen a different headline. At least from a PR per

I had to learn and use Bubble to build an application (no choice, per client's request) and as a programmer I found it to be a nightmare. I can definitely see it as a great and useful tool for non-programmers, but having to go throw yo

I thought voat.co was good in theory, a place like Reddit without limitations. Went back the other day after a few months of not visiting and read through some threads. The amount of racism was really noticeable. Seems to be descending into
