Not only are you making a lot of assumptions here, you have a woeful ignorance of Chicago neighborhoods but throw out names of neighborhoods like you're an expert (perhaps obtained from listening to Drill records or something). Also, B

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the term. Graduate Student = someone enrolled in a Masters Program, Post doc, PHD program, etc. This is quite different from a using a recent Bootcamp grad, likely without any industry experience, as a

"TAs are TAs, all colleges have them; they do not replace full instructors, but some of them are worth their weight in gold due to their student empathy." Lol. TAs in colleges are graduate students. They aren't undergraduates

You can argue about the value of traditional education. But I think you would be hard pressed to find a university, even a crappy one, where it's up to the students to TA themselves, there are 100 students to one professor, and the cur

That might be true if the company was honest. But this was clearly fraud. So go ahead and blame the victim.

People who try to draw historical analogies to AI replacing humans say things like: "cars replaced horse drawn carriages. But we managed to adapt to that, the carriage drivers got new jobs." My dudes. We are the HORSES being repla

I don't see it as a jab at the Czech Republic. But I think it is highly unusual for a CEO to be based out of a country that doesn't have any kind of Company HQ or significant base of operations, and which is 7 hours ahead of the T

Why the vomit emoji after mentioning ERB templates? It's just HTML with ruby sprinkled throughout. If that's the best solution for the job, why use React or whatever flavor of the month JS framework instead?

This is pretty rich. I'd argue the worst kind of censorship is getting murdered/disappeared by a totalitarian government for speaking out against them. Kind of like what happens to critics of Putin, Snowden's current patron.

The field of web dev is so vast and nebulous, the idea that you can't learn anything new or that you've reached a permanent plateau in your career doesn't add up. Also, Salesforce development is a specialized field. What you&

The amount of entitlement in the tech industry is astounding. This person is complaining about how Microsoft didn't enjoy this prank, which involved hours of planning (during working hours I assumed), cost actual $$$ (through printing

I don't know if you read the article. But there were people trying to intervene, namely his family, and people calling the police to check in on him. However, the people who were on his payroll made an effort to prevent this stuff, and

I wonder how the rise of deepfakes will impact this topic. As deepfakes become more believable and prevalent, celebrities will be able to just label any kind of sex-tape type leak as a deepfake. So hopefully this scumbag's business mod

Well the value of any asset depends on the value that people assign to it -- it's all subjective if you really get in it. However, I wouldn't accept bitcoin as a method of payment because I'm not confident that people will ag

by goat_whisperer 6y ago
Yeah but no one uses these things as a form of payment/currency. Those are non-monetary assets.

Ironically, as the market cap and price per coin increase, I grow more and more skeptical of bitcoin!

by goat_whisperer 6y ago
Bitcoin made a lot of sense when I first read about it in 2011. Back then I feel like it was primarily used as an anonymous payment method. Think dark web/silk road type stuff. I certainly don't endorse that behavior, but bitcoin

Yeah, I mean some people smoke all of their lives and live to be 90 and die of natural causes. Doesn't mean that smoking isn't incredibly dangerous and bad for you. edit: this is agreement with the original comment, not sure why I

I'm all for re-thinking drug policy, but normalizing heroin use? Hell no. It's gonna catch up to this guy one day -- he says he's good now but just wait until he feels like he needs to stop.

Re: Eloquent JavaScript. I tried to read it when starting on my JS learning path, and I quickly grew frustrated. It may be the perfect match for you -- but all I want to say is, if you get frustrated with it, you're not alone! Don&#x27

The article clearly states that many natural gas plants were knocked out due to the cold. So why aren't you asking "maybe having more nuclear instead of natural gas would have helped?" Since nuclear uses water, which freezes,

I didn't know a great deal about SPACs, but it looks like the real winners are the initial Sponsors and IPO investors, while the losers are the suckers who pay shares after the SPAC merges with the target company. Let's examine ho

Last-gen consoles? If it wasn't for the most recent delay of release date, Cyberpunk 2077 would've been released before PS5 and the new Xbox were even available for purchase. You're acting like people are trying to play this
