Then those vying for change should consider using less offensive, divisive, and frankly ridiculous (i.e. defund the police), language. It's now tiresome to hear the defense "oh defund doesn't mean _defund_...." -- then d

You could make the same analogy with CGI vs. human-drawn imagery. Yes, you can draw much more precisely, and generates millions of copies of that precision, etc. with CGI. But, does a CGI rendering really have the same 'value' a

Bizarre why this is down-voted as it addresses the root issue. I'd love a software world where I'm actually the customer (with a voice via my wallet).

Shouldn't the title phrase it as "allegedly spam ...". Or, have these been adjudicated?

I had to cancel a planned trip to the Amazon rain forest in 1998 because of lariam. I was on day 3 of the week long regimen in preparation, but by then the unwanted, horrifying thoughts and images invading my head were terrifying. No experi

True, and it depends on whether you've geographically moved over the years. I found that (unfortunately) ends friendships that would/could have developed.

Meh -- they've done themselves such harm in recent years by embracing activism and deliberate bias that it's hard for me to feel too bad for the industry. That said, I'll applaud whichever journalists are brave enough to star

I see your points, but I disagree. FWIW, I also adopted the squash-merge only strategy with no regrets. > Squash merge has the major disadvantage of getting rid of valuable meaningful git history. It's not lost, at all -- it's

Biden wants to expand labor unions, so this isn't a surprise.

This is why employers want to survey applicants' social media posts, to filter out those with activist views like this.

"bring your whole self to work" Trendy, yet completely stupid advice.

That's a _perfect_ description -- concise yet thorough, and very accurate (I've been a consultant for 23 years, and have worked on several projects with Accenture involved).

It's seriously time to re-embrace the idea of ownership and control of our devices, and reject Android and iOS altogether. Developing for those platforms has become worse and more restrictive over the years, and this kind of crap is n

So refreshing. Yes, focus on the business (because it is, after all, a business). The job people are hired for is not politics or activism. Also glad to see the weird new-age peer review crap and "soft" stuff eliminated, too. A

Props to Bella Bathurst -- what an enjoyable writing style (despite a rather grisly subject). I'm still laughing at: "As he drove, Carswell concentrated on his schedule, sitting with the steering wheel held in front of him like a

Oh, I'd love to see it. If we could accomplish a Shinkansen...! But again, with Amtrak's record, where does the confidence come from that they could pull it off? As is pointed out above, it has never really succeeded, and has be

Yes, and the best of the best: Japan. But, the point is that we're taking about Amtrak -- have you experienced them? The odds of Amtrak pulling this off are near 0. They earned their poor reputation.

It's quite decent to wonder why such a talented person, with such a bright future, and so well-known, died prematurely. The story of how he died could be a valuable cautionary tale for people, as much as his talent and work was inspira
