Haha I just took a look, expecting a cool Github project page. Nope - its green, and hasn't been updated since June... of 2003. I have no idea how it is able to be effective against the modern web, considering in 2003 the biggest issue

I tend to agree with you. Land and housing are still very cheap in rural towns in the midwest - they've moved no more than 2% / year or close to the reported inflation rate. So why are homes so expensive in urban areas, including

Yes I exaggerated the lawyers' career paths, but I did say we're talking about the top 25% of developers. Let's not forget the bottom 50%, and others who aren't even counted because they got out immediately after a year

Unlike a lawyer (say top 25%) at a good law firm pushing 15 years of experience, I'm was already salary capped at about 35 years old, and can count on barely inflation-level raises for the rest of my career unless I move to management

As I'm in a similar boat to the OP, this is exactly why I'm hesitant to even interview with any of these companies, even as a test to see where I stand, simply because I fear I'd be blacklisted on some list these companies mi

I'm looking at things in aggregate. The main idea is that men earn more, taxes are progressive, thus men pay more in federal and state income taxes than women, and women receive more benefits than men. The tax revenue point can be prov

I think the most unmentioned facet regarding prostitution is that for many men, prostitution may be the only way for them to obtain sex, which I feel is just as much of a "right" as is the right for women to obtain an abortion. No

Agreed. I've had tech managers who haven't touched an IDE in years read the whitepapers and hype, and tell me that things like Docker will solve all this. And in theory, it should work. Each service maintainer is required to maint
