I suspect people going home, working out, living their lives, decompressing, and relieving stress would increase productivity. I'm not screwing caps onto bottles, the number of hours I work has NOTHING to do with how much I get done. I

I got duped like this once. I clicked on a crypto-bank in the /r/bitcoin sidebar, and it ended up being a scam. Of course, this was when bitcoin was $500 and I was just trying to transf it off of a work computer. If I was dealing

Please spare us the "there is nothing christian about..." or "jesus was a forgiving guy..." because this is what Christians do over and over again. There is no special innate morality that Christianity imbues in people.

The genie is out of the bottle. We have been talking in circles for the last three decades and nobody has done anything to address the corporations who represent the majority of the greenhouse gas emissions. And every time I talk to my pare

I know everyone will think I am crazy, but I actually like to get work done at work, and I am so fucking sick of everyone bunking off and never being available with the change to remote work! It is a real problem! People are just bunking of

I hate open offices for many reasons. I am one of the fortunate people who can tune out the world around me an concentrate amongst the bustle. One thing is everyone to your left, right, and behind you being able to see your screen, which ma

So personalized tutoring does nothing to improve your score? What an absurd suggestion. That USED to be line line but it has since changed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/05&#x2F

I went to a RURAL school. My graduating class was 20 people. We didn't really do SAT prep, basically all time was eaten up triaging students who were struggling, and dealing with poorly behaved students. Or the teachers were sometimes

It is not an ad, no. I was just giving a shout-out to my local charity that refurbishes computers and provides them to low-income individuals. Additionally, I was pointing out I have a full-featured desktop PC running an open source operati

People love to pooh-pooh "complicated" things like unit tests, type systems, Kubernetes, GraphQL, etc. Things that are solving a specific problem for LARGE SCALE ENTERPRISE users. I will quote myself here: A problem does not cease

I bought a PC from a local computer refurbishing shop, FreeGeek. It was $80 and has more than enough hardware to run Linux and a web browser. Works great!

Peoples priorities change over time. And young people don't really understand how much the low status and grueling grind they are getting into sucks. And then you are 28, already in debt, having wasted a decade without a decent career

My understanding is that we cannot scale that to meet our electricity needs, and we need to keep the lights on when it is dark outside. Due to this, solar isn't good enough. ( Though should certainly be part of the plan. ) I could be w

IMO, a massive investment and proliferation of fusion reactors is humanity's last hope. Assuming it isn't already too late.

Facebook has done an amazing job turning an interesting piece of technology into a worthless ad-ridden piece of junk.

So are you claiming opportunity is equally distributed? I feel if you "hire for competence", you are going to end up with a highly concentrated group of wealthy people who went to the best schools. Also, what is your metric for &q

Why not? I can think of plenty of reasons why google would want a head of diversity. - They may find diverse teams to perform better - or maybe highly qualified people prefer to work on diverse teams so it helps with recruitment - or their

I've used both Unreal and Unity for hobby projects, and as a developer I prefer Unreal Engine. Unfortunately, I've been unable to use Unreal for game jams. The reason? Collaboration! I tried to get my team set up with Unreal Engin

I've heard this before, and I agree, but don't let the name put you off. I agree that designing and iterating for google scale is a bad idea, but there is a lot in that book that is applicable to all software teams.

Honestly Clean Code probably isn't worth recommending anymore. We've taken the good bits and absorbed it into best practice. I think it has been usurped by books like "Software Engineering at Google" and "Building S

Yeah if you are not getting any kind of air you are probably fine without a helmet.

Football is similar to boxing, the helmets don't help because the concussion results from your brain rattling around in your skull, and which cannot be prevented in that sport. It is a different situation, though, the helmets in footba

I got doored super hard commuting on my bike one day, I was on the pavement out cold for a few seconds. If I didn't have a helmet on, I would be dead. It is just common sense. You have to be such a fucking FOOL to go without one.

So encouraging playing a sport in a safe way === school marm nannying? People get CTE from extreme sports, Dave Mirra being a famous example. I think playing the sport safely is something that should be encouraged.

I like skateboarding a lot, watch a lot of videos on youtube. I admire Tony Hawk because you NEVER see him without his helmet. But I watch other skate videos, and people will forego their helmets. i watched one taking place in New York City

I was saying the lifetime warranty and time saved paying $40 more for a product that I don't have to research as heavily is worth i. Honestly, I was using speech to text while having a drink so my comment came off as kinda stupid.
