It's not like the industry figured out how to retain men to begin with. Almost every tech company I've been in, I've seen people of both genders move in and out constantly. Programmers have been complaining about management s

Were there really any local engineers? If so, why haven't they built anything before the arrival of China?

I wonder how much Japan spends on that front, or if it's even official state policy to make the world love it.

It's a serious question because that is not the normal state of affairs. Part of being a responsible adult should be about wisely choosing a career that fits with who you are and has a reasonable future. If you choose that kind of care

Why do tens of thousands of people have to compete for a small number of positions? Something it's clearly wrong. It seems like the study treats working in a job as a favor received by the peasants from the slave masters. Or, the study

I've never seen anyone conflate TypeScript with angular before GP's comment. (And I happen to agree with him on angular being confusing and not well designed)

I used to think the same, until I started using VS code and it completely blew me away! I don't care if it's written on to of a browser or in assembly. I just know it's the best text editor I've used so far.

It's just another attached input device.

"You" is not an atomic Unit. Think of it this way. When you type something to google, what is the "Google" that is answering your question? "Where" is it?

Exactly! (That's what I intended to say but I just realized that I didn't emphasize the point).

This is similar to people measuring popularity of a library or language by stackoverflow question counts. Sure, you can't get a lot of questions for an obscure library that on one uses, but the mere fact that tons of people post questi

Using the presence of whiteboard questions as a metric for interview quality seems rather pointless to me. Whiteboards questions can be very good or can be very bad or anywhere in between. Just like any interview question in general. I for

There is absolutely nothing wrong in principle with whiteboard questions.

If you want to dedicate your life in advocacy for JavaScript replacement, go ahead, but I think that would not be a wise decision for one to make.

RMS definition of free still leads to free as in beer because it requires that the user has the freedom to distribute the sides for free (as in beer).

IMO this is a side product of the "software must be free" mentality. Frankly, software should not be free. When you let people give you things for free, you basically let them control you and take away your freedom.

I purposely avoid all this mess. The only thing in my "build stack" was TypeScript and a small custom script I wrote myself to assemble things together. Before I joined that project they were using yoeman and angular and a bunch o

I have thousands of images that I need to load dynamically at runtime. I shouldn't be expected to import them all by name. That's not my idea of a filesystem API.

I don't remember struggling that much with React itself in terms of untraceable compilation problems. But then again, I already have a lot of experience with normal web development, so I already know what's under the cover, more o

It's not just that. I also need plugins for basic functionality that RN does not provide it out of the box, like playing audio, accessing the file system, reading sqlite databases, etc. "Linking" these plugins is black box ma

I started a project in React Native a few months ago, then I left it for a couple weeks, then when I came back to it, I did the usual chore of updating libraries, and found that I could no longer compile/run the project. Purged and re

Adjusting to reality is a good thing. Expecting reality too adjust to your personal whims and desires is kind of messed up. I don't see anyone defending JavaScript as if it had no flaws. So I'm not sure what your getting at exactl

In that case an empty curly block would make the intention explicit.

I said "in general" for a reason. I'm not talking about _this_ particular case. (I'm not sure that accessing a dubious website is in itself a crime; obviously the police accessed the site too). Presumably the police _can

I thought an evidence was an objective piece of data, not someone's word.

How so? In general if a criminal goes free despite having evidence against him just because the evidence was not obtained legally ... it sounds rather wrong to me.

Poutine is Junk Food sold at McDonalds and CostCo. I would not call it "Canadian Cuisine". If you go to any food court in Canada what you will find is a myriad of ethnic foods: Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Mexican, Italia

I think the same applies to eating. Since we can eat, we don't have to produce energy using sunlight like plants do. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
