She might have quit the job without disclosing what has been going on. I don't want to guess what she's been thinking anyways, I was trying to tell in that sentence that if these things really happened, it's weird to me that

The "work is fun" way of working has diminishing returns, working professionally and for less amount of time is the way to go. And sack the adults with an adolescent's brain already. The fun part of the work can only be the

I only skimmed the article, so sorry if I'm mistaken, but it's weird that under such conditions she remained there from 2008 to 2016. Other than that, if even some of these claims are true, then this is not merely sexual miscondu

Please don't ride noisy stupid bags of metal and plastic anywhere. Nobody has to listen to that deafening annoying noise. Don't get me wrong I prefer a bike over a car anytime and if I needed to own a vehicle I'd get a mope

In Turkey we have raised eyebrows for a no, often denoting also some sort of pity/empathy if the lips are squeezed into a half-smile form (sometimes this is accompanied by a slow bobbing of the head).

GOPATH is one weird thing that I have never been able to justify to myself when trying out Go. I keep all my code under ~/co, I clone others' repos under ~/co/External, many times I clone sth. to /tmp first, and mo

You mistook my example, altho I should admit I made it really easy to do so. My example was intended to illustrate that discussion can only come when active, physical violence ceases. I can say I'm no alien to being bullied or wishin

Also, IDK if this is mentioned anywhere, but HN comments have a maximum character limit. Once I made a veeery long comment [1], had to split them up in three pieces (which when I downloaded them using the API, take up 7.5kb, 6.5kb and 5.9k

It's revolutionary like garbage collection was so in the late '90s and functional programming in 2010s: every decade a popular language or library reinvents sth. from two decades ago and it's revolution and unicorns. Now go

Highly suggest to read the demo at https://research.swtch.com/vgo-tour , which really clarifies everything. I do not write Go, but I did write some bits in it in the past, and now think that this will be a very useful addit

The best value a language can provide is the community around it. That is, the amount of high quality libraries out there. And the choices, when coming from this stance, are a handful: .Net and JVM ecosystems, Python, C/C++, then Per

Single page apps are buggy crap. No single SPA I had to put up with worked completely fine. They breaks the most fundamental parts of web browsing: history, bookmarks, URIs, etc. Yes they try to reimplement half of the browser, but that&

If there's such scientific distinction between a state and a disease, I'd really like to know more. But I can't see how a disease is not just a particular state of being. And if obesity is not a disease, then still, that do

None of those seem to exist in the standard libraries this package provides. Now one can (or has already) presumably put libraries with sensitive names in CPAN or PyPI or Debian Archives (e.g. libmoosex- , libsexy- , thefuck) or whatnot.

The only thing that can replace e-mail is, e-mail. We need a means for communications that are not instant, and allow for long-form, off-line, complex interactions, based on decentralised infrastructure. That'll continue to exist in
