I wouldn't call your colleagues lazy, i would say they have other responsibilities and a life. Not everyone has a SO to clean and cook for them and maintaining relationships takes work Also: you dont have 9 hours of productive work in

Re: Pipe operator Their argument for replacing the pipe operator is to do this instead: foo(X) -> final_function(maybe_function(X)). into this: foo(X) -> Maybe = maybe_function(X), final_function(Maybe). instead

Hey: I'm sorry you are suffering so much you are thinking about taking your own life. I know your pain is real because I have felt it myself before. I do not want you to commit suicide, please stay with us. Please call the suicide prev

Most of the time I've seen it, it is avoidance of the rest of their life. "Change diapers? Oh, sorry honey, I uhh... gotta do this thing at work. Darn it!" One phenomenon I've always noticed about workaholics is that the

I hate that clay pot metaphor it gets trotted out to justify everything and I dont find it particularly insightful. I feel like in software the take-away should be "throw away your crappy previous attempts and keep iterating" but

I don't understand. What is the point of quitting caffeine? Isn't it a great nootropic? Everything I've read is that coffee is good for you and has a ton of benefits.

> For dependent users --- which I think is most users? --- a big part of the "benefit" of caffeine is just the cessation of withdrawal symptoms. This is quite the claim and I do not agree at all. I do not get withdrawal symptom

You look around at the gig economy, our stagnant wages, our failing industrial sector, our hyper-militarized police force, and wonder "How did we get here?" I can tell you how we got here: COINTELPRO. The FBI's war on politic

Public hangings, an event where you could go and watch someone be drug out into the town square and hung from the neck until they were dead, used to be an event people would gather to see. People used to fill bags with cats, dose the bag in

Honestly I feel like the mainstream games industry is pretty chaste. A large part of the audience is younger, and it is their parents who are buying the games. You want something to be engaging, maybe even edgy, but not so edgy that mom and

I don't have an account. Your claims of a left-wing bias on reddit are also anecdotal.
586.
by honkycat 6y ago
I don't see this. There is right-wing content hitting front-page reddit constantly, and a lot of the most popular sub-reddits like "change my view" are just soap-boxes for right-wing talking points.

This needs to happen. We need to start taxing the rich and implement our social security nets again. Like they do in almost every other civilized nation. Where is the line? And how have we not crossed it already? How many americans have to

So because you witnessed a riot for the first time, and it wasn't in one of THOSE neighborhoods, we should ignore these statistics and assume there is no problem with police arresting journalists at an elevated rate? We literally saw a

It is known as brigading. They see a post critical of police and the right wing people come in and do a bunch of posts to obscure the fact that BLM and the police accountability movement is extremely popular. It is 100% planned and engineer

I agree. Engineers are under educated. This is not going to improve. Poor and middle class kids don't have the luxury to soak up as much education as they feel like before choosing a topic they are interested in. That is a privilege re

See, I think code styling is a complete waste of time. And "readability" doesn't actually refer to how you format the code, it refers to how you design and structure your code. We have automated tools to format our code. They

The US is a gerontocracy. We are going to end up exactly like Japan, a whole generation of young people passing on kids due to economic and environmental stress with no-one to replace them. The stats tell the story. Young people are the lar

What lazy thinking. No, they can't just quit and asserting they can is ignorant. What are they going to do, go to another hospital that is going to treat them the exact same way, taking a huge step backwards in their career progression

I'm glad we got Trump out of the white house. But I'm still skeptical. The growing divide and threat of civil war ( not going to happen btw ) are nothing compared to what will happen in the next 50 years of we do not have a green

I agree they should focus on building products not boilerplate but i would argue "outputting pure data, i.e writing your own data format, is just as much boilerplate. JSON is fine IMO
