I’m reminded of Donald Trump. “We have a complex tech stack, the most complex tech stack in the world. Tons of great people work here. The smartest people working on the most complex tech stack in the world. Lots of great code. The best cod

Yes I think that’s a large part of it too. Our brains are so adaptable to whatever environment we live in. You know I’m still waiting for an Aaron Sorkin film on Ada Lovelace. Aaron, if you’re reading this, can you just go ahead and make t

I'm very happy that you made a thoughtful reply, I was getting into a fairly long discussion with a coworker about James Damore and how women fit into a modern tech workplace. I think the most disappointing thing about that whole ordea

I highly recommend you try meditation, not just because it reduces the total amount of sleep you need ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2919439/ ), but also because it sounds likes it'll tea

Yes but is the issue here solved by diversity hiring i.e. doing whatever it takes to hire more women or is the issue here solved by redefining how the workplace operates and making it something that enables women to succeed and enjoy the wo

I used to think this until I worked on a large C project at scale. C++ definitely has some improvements over C, but it definitely does not have a "massive improvement over straight C in pretty much every practical way". It's

That's the sad part, that the discussion is shut down with repeatable phrases. Additionally many of the people who repeat these phrases grew up in a life of privilege. Even worse, I think if they travelled the world a bit they'd s

This is not true and proven again and again with people in hardcore keto. On a similar note though, the best diet is the one you can keep on doing.

Obviously spend your life however you like, I just want to put it out there that it sounds like you don't like to put yourself outside of your comfort zone (like pretty much everyone, even the hipsters). There is nothing 'hipster&

This is 100% right. I've only worked in a bar and a restaurant for a combined total of a year and I've heard so many women repeat very similar comments as to what offended her on a daily basis. Bad jokes about tits, pussys, and sm

While I think the just of what you are saying is correct, remember that the fentanyl crisis has been happening for an incredibly long time. These people know what they are buying, and many dealers openly sell fentanyl now. Not to mention th

Not to underplay that growing up as, say, a black American in the projects comes with a whole host of horrific challenges, but this comment is incredibly sexist + racist. >> You don't feel uncomfortable when you see the police. I

There is an entire industry out there for re-using and repairing these electronics. The unfortunate part is that the great Apple steamroller, and many other large companies, are fighting against the right-to-repair bill. I can only imagine

As a junior software developer, it's sad to hear this point of view. Many of us put an extraordinary amount of time towards improving our craft. On the other hand I've worked with many people who have very similar opinions as your

It was a movie which should've been good, in my opinion, but instead bombed because of a lack of pacing and therefore world creation. I think that's something the '95 movie did really well, the long drawn out shots of the cit

You totally missed the point of the '95 movie if you think it was all in the dialogue. 90% of the content was told through visual storytelling and the soundtrack. The new movie totally missed the point too. If they wanted to make a ful

Are you referring to CelestialTerrestrial's comment? His argument seems to boil down to, manufacturers don't do component level repairs so why should an independent shop do that. I have to strongly disagree with that stance. Louis

I grew up in the Jasper area, and we'd have bear traps placed all around the town, in forests. The bears loved to head in to town for some easy pickings of food. Often they'd be tranquilized if they became a problem, and then move

It's funny. The last reason I received my tattoo was for any sense of individuality or to define my identity. People get tattoos for all sorts of reasons. Sitting down with a good tattoo artist can mean many things. For some people it

Is there anyway to get this to play on the Windows 10 logon screen, instead of a picture background? I found the Windows version for the screensaver on the link below, but no way to set it as the logon background. https://github.

If you take a shot of espresso from Starbucks and compare it to a shot of espresso from a cafe which roasts their own beans, you'll taste the difference quite immediately. Starbucks beans are over-roasted by a large margin. Their coffe

I'm not disagreeing, but it's in bad taste to make a personal judgement on someone without meeting them personally. The guy could be cocky, or the writer of the article could've just made the guy appear cocky. Anyways, wouldn

It's fair enough criticism, although I highly suggest you watch a video on why MGS3 was such a brilliant game, if you get bored sometime. I'll link you a decent video at the bottom, maybe you've already seen it. I wished more
