Someone once told me the reason for all the homelessness is a mental institution closing during the Reagan era in the 80s and many patients were just left out in the streets. I've never found them intimidating as well. They were '

I used to live there between '98 to '02, so my view is outdated. It's interesting to read current outlooks. I'm not American. Back then I found the city to be very European and very accepting. I was part of a fairly larg

It's interesting that this is from the enlightenment website. It's been years since I tried their desktop/window manager. Glad to see they are still around.

Failing something is learning. A lot. Take that lesson and turn it around. You still have a runway to take off from.

Not trying to pretend any rules. Just convention I've seen here over the years with some reference in the guidelines. If you feel you need to discuss politics, by all means - go crazy.

From the guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. This story was posted as one of technical interest. The political side effects are

Fellas, please, keep the politics out of it. You got Facebook for that... :)

This feature is also available in "cheaper" cars. My Kia Niro has is, and although I didn't get a chance to make "full" use of this (thankfully), I did incur the "too close" beep which prompted me to break

Amazing is a good word to describe this. If this is not an invitation to a challenge, I don't know what is. Some poor pr dude at the t-mobile, and some devs are about to get a big life lesson.

OK, lets assume Commodore's chips would have become the intel equivalent, and an open standard. They could have easily been the PC if they went the same way. It's not far fetched, just mismanaged. They could have done it and gone

Hat off to you sir. I learned programming on the Vic20 (my first computer) and I still cannot surpass the level of excitement it got me then. I didn't dream to squeeze the hardware back then, I just accepted it and used a tiny amount o

If Commodore (the company) had a fraction of the dedication and ingenuity of today's Commodore users we'd all be using their machines still, and reading about Apple enthusiasts who managed to squeeze another ounce of juice off the

All fair points and an indication to the quality of 'friends' sometimes who might or might not make the effort. One point I'll make is that being on LinkedIn, to me, as what being on Facebook is for him. I don't like Lin

Social networks and Facebook in general are a certain aspect of "progress" in society. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's ubiquitous enough that it's considered a primary contact channel that reaches many people at onc

No I'm not. I don't have spare time to go on campaigns like that nor am I interested. Pretty much all my friends on Facebook are there for a reason. I don't have any "cull" moments. There is no service currently tha

Replacing functionality is the easy part. How do you replace volume of people using the system? Scandal or not - Facebook is still where "everyone is". And until "everyone" are not there, there is no "replacing&quot

It sounds like you'd be happier in academia. You don't sound like startup material to me. Why stay in a place that makes you unhappy to that degree?

I think at this point it might be too late as the boat has been rocked and by the sound of it, and OP response to another comment on this thread, I say it's tilting. If I was the CEO, and the person I hired and gave a very generous 50%

As a general rule, I never do business with friends and family. If a friend asks for technical help, and I am able, I'd do it for free without commitment, but no way I'm sacrificing relationships for a job.

Second is example is most readable, I agree. What I was trying to convey there was first the use of "type" vs "isinstance", and second the use of non pep8 snake case in Python which is frowned upon. Then I wanted to show
