Why do so many people only consider Emacs and Vim for programming? There are a plethora of IDEs that have way more features out of the box and even have plugins to make them compatible with Vim and Emacs usage so the switching cost is almos

I'm not arguing for or against the executive order. It's just a very recent and big example of news organizations shaping how the population thinks. Every news organization is spinning this to fit their narrative.

I'm not arguing to remove all interpretation from the facts. That's impossible with our language. But what we are experiencing from the news every single day is a far cry from objective journalism. We are almost only getting the i

> The problem is not "fake news". The problem is people are treating the news like a product in the capitalist paradigm. I would say a huge part of the problem is that news is no longer news. It's all commentary. News orga

You get to take the actual classes but you don't get real credit for them. Recruiters, hiring managers don't care because it's not a real degree and they have no knowledge of the program. If you just want the knowledge you ca

I did this program. I can say it was literally a waste of money. I planned on joining a member company (so I could complete the degree remotely) at some point but meh none were interesting enough to join. You can get all the value in this p

Is there a cheap and high quality CO detector? I think it's time I replaced mine since it's probably way past due.

And if you are not creating anything related to your work. Like if you work at a game company and you make a game on your own time with your own equipment, the game company you work for can claim your work as their own.

I hope I'm not the only one but I really dislike interactive VR. I really don't like being forced to move around to get a full experience. I know it can be fun but I would rather just sit there and use a controller. I would howeve

I don't know if it is a lack of want but there is definitely a small pool of capable women. Women are on average significantly weaker and smaller than men so the pool of women who are as capable to perform hard physical tasks is very s

It would be nice to see a review site modeled after Consumer Reports. They tend to compare, with a well defined criteria, products in a category. It's a professional unbiased review system rather than a crowdsourced low value review sy

It was fun but pointless. I would have been more impressed if the solutions were unique and dictionary words rather than trying to make silly regexs like 'not working'. Is LinkedIn even hiring with their current stock plummet and

This is rather a nonresponse. It basically says GitHub read the letter. It makes no promises, proposes no solutions and no timeline. After working in gaming for years we would post responses just like this all the time and get something sch

Maybe it's just me but I never struggled with number names nor math. I imagine even when naming numbers isn't perfectly sensical (always in some strict base 10 naming), this disadvantage resolves itself as students age. The more y

Airbnb customer service really shat the bed on this one. There's really no excuse for refusing to call the police when you are told a heinous crime is in progress. Probability wise it was 1/800,000 for that evening but that single

If ADP doesn't want to work with a competing third party that is their right. This is why you should never base a business on the goodwill of a platform. We saw the same shenanigans all the time in social and mobile gaming.

Wow. I've about cases like this but this just a new extreme. It appears students may now freely censor professors for almost any reason.

You would think that but chrome is much more insidious than other browsers. I can log in to chrome on all my devices and share bookmarks, apps, sessions, passwords, etc. That makes me a sticky chrome user because I lose all that functionali

How does Google calculate interest? What's it normalized against? The overall decline might just be a function of the decline of software engineers as a percentage of the internet using population over time.

That's probably it's number 1 use case. However, I've seen it used to build million+ user game servers, GUIs, etc. It's general purpose.
